Three separate political occasions in the same number of days a week ago uncovered the distinctions over the US-Mexico relationship, as the new US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, touches base for his first visit to the nation.
The first was the Day Without Immigrants. Held in towns and urban areas over the United States, it was an opportune indication of the significance of the foreigner group to the US economy.
From Washington DC to Detroit, from LA to New York, eateries, cafés and accommodation stores shut their entryways as a component of an across the country foreigner rights solidarity development.
It is evaluated that seven million foreigners work in the eatery business alone, also areas, for example, development, social insurance, nourishment creation and assembling.
The members needed to send a reasonable message to the Trump organization about its hard-line position on expulsions and the outskirt divider.
The following critical political occasion was the next day in a flying machine holder in Melbourne, Florida.
A rally by President Trump saw him, in actuality, back on the battle stump, making a discourse that seemed as if the decision was days away, not as of late won.
In the media storm that took after the president's befuddling reference to Sweden, his remarks on Mexico were to a great extent lost.
Again he specified the "terrible hombres" from the southern side of the fringe, on this event expressly calling them "pack individuals, awful, awful individuals".
'Take the shackles off'
His organization, he guaranteed his supporters, would soon be expelling huge quantities of undocumented outsiders with criminal records.
"I said [from] the very first moment, they're going out. On the other hand they're being placed in jail, however generally, get them the hellfire out of here. Take them back to where they originated from," he stated, to colossal commendation.
This week, that guarantee has been went down by extreme new rules on extraditions.
Social equality gatherings, for example, the ACLU fear the move will target outsiders who have invested years living and working in the shadows in the US, and now face being expelled over stopping infringement or minor infractions.
Be that as it may, the Trump organization says the progression will reinforce existing tenets and "take the shackles off" the applicable law implementation offices.
The last occasion was in Mexico itself.
On Sunday, many thousands rioted of the capital, Mexico City, as a feature of what the coordinators called Vibra Mexico.
The notices being held up made it clear against whom the fury in Mexico was coordinated.
"Stop Trump!" read a tremendous flag in English, in spite of the fact that "Fuera Pena!" - signifying "Pena Out" - was similarly unmistakable.
The Mexican President, Enrique Pena Nieto is confronting the most reduced endorsement evaluations of any Mexican pioneer since the 1994 peso crash, which left the Mexican economy on its knees.
His treatment of Donald Trump, joined with a disputable fuel value climb known as the "gasolinazo", has irritated customary Mexicans, and for some the finish of his dubious presidential term can't come around soon enough.
Other than the outrage at the two presidents, the other perceptible component of Vibra Mexico was the call for national solidarity even with what individuals here see as liberated animosity by the Trump organization.
"Something stunning that Trump has finished, is a kind of 'rally-around-the-signal' marvel in Mexico," says Dr Eric Magar, political researcher at the ITAM establish in Mexico City.
'Two-penny government'
Indeed, even Mr Pena Nieto encountered a brief knock in prominence when he picked not to go to Washington DC for a two-sided meeting at the White House.
"Pena Nieto, regardless of the possibility that he's an exceptionally powerless pioneer and hesitant, has been getting the acclaim of the Mexican world class," says Dr Magar.
Not, however, that of the vast majority of the Mexican electorate, who are irate at the awkward way the administration has managed the monetary emergency.
For instance, the Finance Ministry reported a week ago that the cost of a liter of petrol would go down at the pumps.
In the midst of the torment of the "gasolinazo", it seemed like welcome news for customers.
Notwithstanding it didn't take long to understand this wasn't the intense financial motion many had been calling for.
It was two pennies less expensive.
That is not two US pennies, but rather two pennies of a Mexican peso - a value decrease so imperceptibly little that many thought of it as a joke.
As one political observer put it: "In the event that it weren't so embarrassing, we'd be giggling".
It instantly provoked another hashtag to show up via web-based networking media in Mexico: #GobiernoDeA2Centavos, signifying "Two Cent Government".
As of now, that is about as much the same number of voters think Mr Pena Nieto's organization is worth.
Add to this financial disquietude President Trump's protectionist arrangements, the loathed fringe divider and his request that Mexico will pay for it, in addition to the offending tone and extremely open nature of the level headed discussion being directed by means of Twitter, and the new US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, lands in Mexico City in the midst of some threatening vibe.
Joined by the leader of the Department of Homeland Security, John Kelly, the two men have an unenviable errand: building spans where their manager has been building a divider.
"The divider is the typical part," says Dr Magar, "yet the vital part is the exchange war that is approaching. That will hurt us more."
"A gigantic piece of our success depends on exchanging with the US. Any arrangement to cut ties with Mexico would hurt us in particular. So torment is headed."
'A genuine fellowship between two social orders'
It is against that foundation that the Mexican banners turned protesting in the streets for Vibra Mexico and the carefully assembled signs encouraging "unidad y dignidad" - solidarity and nobility - among Mexicans.
For Jesus Silva-Herzog Marquez, prestigious Mexican writer and political analyst, the calls for solidarity are misinformed.
Writing in the national daily paper, Reforma, he called rather for "noticeable and boisterous disunity".
"Assorted qualities doesn't make us powerless," he composed. "We are not confronting a military attack. The difficulties we face are altogether different and can't be confronted on the off chance that we defer our contradictions."
Numerous investigators see those difficulties in two key zones: movement and exchange.
"Both attempts require the inverse of union: genuine clash over the rights and interests," said Mr Silva-Herzog, asking open and open level headed discussion in Mexico.
In any case, as the subject of renegotiating the Nafta exchange assention looms, Mr Tillerson's Mexican partner, Luis Videgaray, made a request for solidarity of his own amid an outing to the next Nafta part, Canada.
"The genuine advantage of Nafta is not financial, it's social," he said in impeccable English at a board discourse in Toronto.
"Our relationship is on a very basic level a genuine kinship between two social orders. We ought to accomplish more to be nearer as well as to feel nearer."
The Trump organization's emissaries may likewise convey a more placating message than their leader - yet given late occasions, they confront an intense time conveying it to generally Mexicans.
