It won't let me look at it as I have not subscribed.

Cut and paste.
"EXICO CITY — Mexico will vigorously fight U.S. mass deportations of undocumented immigrants back to Mexico and refuse to accept any non-Mexicans expelled across the border, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray vowed Wednesday.
A day after the Trump administration unveiled tough new guidelines for enforcing immigration laws, Videgaray said the treatment of Mexican migrants in the United States would top his country's agenda when President Enrique Peña Nieto meets Thursday with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.
“I want to make clear, in the most emphatic way, that the government of Mexico and the Mexican people do not have to accept measures that, in a unilateral way, one government wants to impose on another,” Videgary said.
He added that Mexico would go to the United Nations to defend the rights of its migrants. “We are not going to accept it because we don’t have to accept it and because it is not in the interests of Mexico,” he said.
The Department of Homeland Security said its new directives focus on criminals and those who pose a threat to the U.S., but the provisions expand the authority of federal agents to deport the vast majority of the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
Under the new rules, all federal immigration officers can now conduct an "expedited removal" anywhere in the U.S. against people who arrived in the U.S. in the previous two years.
One critical provision, which requires Mexico's cooperation, allows federal agents to send people back to Mexico, even if they're not from that country. Many recent arrivals to the U.S. came from Central America, traveling through Mexico.
The latest dispute threatens to further damage already strained U.S.-Mexico relations, which deteriorated as President Trump promised to build a wall along the border wall at Mexico's expense and to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that he said has unfairly benefited Mexico.
In Washington, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the U.S. and Mexico "have a very healthy and robust relationship."
"I think they would echo that same sentiment," Spicer said. "I think the relationship with Mexico is phenomenal right now. I believe there’s an unbelievable and robust dialogue between our two nations.”"

Funnily enough, I went to school with a kid from a family with NO paper trail, but a lot of fake records at Centrelink and so on. They didn't work, they never needed to but they had plenty of cash.
How they kept it up I will never know. The kid even gave a couple of fake names at school so he could cut class!
A true "champion" from the underclass.
I'm wondering if he'd be deported? How can they deport if they don't have a true identity?

That is quite important, and rather sane.
Mexico has had net emigration OUT of the US in recent times. The US are trying to boot out Arabs and South Americans as I understand it.
Trump isn't as nearly as "tough" as he is making out.

You can't blame Mexico for not wanting criminals to be deported into their country......especially when they did not come from Mexico to begin with.
Remember the Mariel Boat Lift? Castro Opened his prisons and sent every felon he could on the boatlift to Miami.
Mexico simply wants to avoid the same blunder the USA went through under the Carter Administration.

If I were in charge in Mexico, I would not be accepting any non-Mexicans either.
The whole story echoes experiences here, where quite a few refugees destroy all their documentation in an effort to short circuit any attempts to deport them.
My daughter says that half the kids at her school in Dandenong have 1st Jan as a birthday. That's the nominated date for people who don't have a date!

They won't accept them. The US cannot force them to accept them.
