Raising concern about the constitutional reforms in Mexico.
Sponsored By: Representative Stanton, Greg [D-AZ-4]
Introduced
Summary
This resolution would raise U.S. concern about recent Mexican constitutional reforms that it says undermine judicial independence and democratic institutions and risk harming bilateral economic and security ties. It frames those legal changes as a long-term threat to rule-of-law, transparency, and cooperative efforts with the United States.

- U.S. businesses and workers: Notes more than $896 billion in goods traded with Mexico in 2023 and that nearly 5 million U.S. jobs depend on that trade. It flags the risk to investment and cross-border commerce.
- Security and public safety: Warns the reforms could weaken joint efforts to counter organized crime, fentanyl trafficking, and human and arms trafficking that rely on strong legal and judicial cooperation.
- Mexican institutions and oversight: Highlights changes that would move to elected judges, reduce independent oversight and qualification standards, and shrink autonomous agencies overseeing energy, telecoms, education, and antitrust enforcement.
- North American integration: Says some reforms may contradict United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement commitments and jeopardize regional economic integration and shared security interests.
