Border security has been a major focus of the Republican platform this US election cycle.

The rhetoric and policy regarding border security and illegal immigration has taken as many forms as there are candidates, and the only commonality among the three leading candidates is that they all publicly demand a border wall. Beyond that, policies differ.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Mexico has chimed in on the border wall comments:

“Mexico’s government said it would launch a diplomatic effort in the U.S. to remind Americans of the benefits of a close bilateral relationship, at a time when U.S. presidential candidates Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz promote building a wall between the countries.”

Officials plan to accomplish this with forums featuring opinion leaders, and by using their various consulates in the United States to remind people of the ties between the United States and Mexico, says Francisco Guzmán, chief of staff to President Enrique Peña Nieto.
