Just 0.5 percent
The foreign-born make up just 0.5 percent of Mexico’s 105 million people, compared with about 13 percent in the United States, which has a total population of 299 million. Mexico grants citizenship to about 3,000 people a year, compared to the U.S. average of almost a half million.
“There is a need for a little more openness, both at the policy level and in business affairs,” said David Kim, president of the Mexico-Korea Association, which represents the estimated 20,000 South Koreans in Mexico, many of them naturalized citizens.
“The immigration laws are very difficult ... and they put obstacles in the way that make it more difficult to compete,” Kim said, although most foreigners don’t come to Mexico seeking government posts.
J. Michael Waller, of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, was more blunt. “If American policy-makers are looking for legalmodels on which to base new laws restricting immigration and expelling foreign lawbreakers, they have a handy guide: the Mexican constitution,” he said in a recent article on immigration

Another thing that most people ignore is that Mexico actually enforces their closed border. Unlike the USA who leaves the door open with no attendant watching.
We can make all the laws in the world that says on paper that those pesky illegal immigrants don't belong here but without formal enforcement like placing more people on the border or building a real wall, illegal immigrants will continue to pass on through with just a hop and an skip over todays invisible wall.

And the blame for this rests upon the broad shoulders of our Federal Gov and our elected reps who feel no need to protect US interests.

But we are called racist and mean if we guard our border with Mexico. What political pressure does Mexico have to admit scores of illegal immigrants.

Well, it's not racist to defend our sovereign borders. As for Mexico, the only pressure they have is what we give them.
Unfortunately and factually it's not Mexico's responsibility to prevent their citizens from entering the USA. If the USA makes laws demanding that foreign Nationals stay out of our Country then it's up to us as a Nation to defend ourselves from foreign Nationals.
Obviously, the USA seems to be very lax on their enforcement of its immigration laws.
With continued pressure they'll step up to the plate.
