Mexico says it uses tactics it criticizes the U.S. for using
MEXICO CITY - Mexico's federal Human Rights Commission acknowledged yesterday that the country uses some of the same methods in dealing with illegal migrants that it has criticized the United States for employing.

The admission came as Luis Ernesto Derbez, Mexico's foreign-relations secretary, called on Latin Ame-rican countries to unite against a U.S. bill to toughen border enforcement. The bill, which passed Friday, would make illegal entry a felony.

Officials of Mexico's federal Hu-man Rights Commission acknowledged that Mexico already employs both tactics in its own territory. "As a matter of fact, (Mexico's) population law does include prison terms for illegally entering the country," said Mauricio Farah, a national inspector for the rights commission.
