U.S. House would voice concerns over Mexico's recent government and judicial changes.

The U.S. House would express worries about Mexico's recent changes to its laws and government. These changes, like how judges are picked and elections are run, could harm Mexico's democracy. They might also affect trade and security with the U.S. This resolution would share the House's official view, but it would not change Mexican law.

What Would Change

Today, Mexico has already passed several constitutional reforms that change its judicial system, eliminate independent oversight bodies, and ban genetically modified corn. If this resolution passes, the U.S. House of Representatives would formally express its concerns that these changes could harm Mexico's democracy, contradict trade agreements like USMCA, and weaken joint U.S.-Mexico efforts to fight crime and trafficking.

Key Provisions
