## 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.
