I wasn't aware that Mexico had a say in the internal politics
of the US. Hmmm....

Sure! They're not mad because it'll be harder to get in,
they're probably just offended that someone thinks they want to so
badly.

It certainly is no violation of human rights, and he's got a
track record that includes some idiocy. He said back when the
minutemen were patrolling the border that he'd send Mexican soldiers
to protect them, but never mind that to have done so meant they'd have
been interfering in the course of US citizens protecting THEIR
country, and it would have constituted an act of war.
But then, why would anyone expect anything different from a
man who only got the job he got because Mexico's previous president
was assassinated?
