A flashback from just over three years ago:
OTTAWA - Mexico wants its North American neighbours to move more quickly towards integration on a continental scale, the country's [former] foreign secretary [Jorge Castaneda] said on Friday...
"We would like to continentalize as much as possible," he said.
...What Mexico wants, he said, goes beyond the continental perimeter idea that has been discussed at length in Canada in the wake of Sept. 11. Castaneda said it includes a more continental approach to social issues, immigration and energy.
"We have been pushing for this. And we have been encountering a receptive ear both in Canada and the United States at a certain level of intensity," he said. "We would like to move more quickly. We would like to move more deeply."
Mexican President Vicente Fox has spoken in the past about those deeper moves, such as adopting a common currency, a customs union, and the entire elimination of border controls.
See also this specific comment (#65). I tend to be a bit skeptical of that comment's conclusions, but you can start reading up on such subjects here or here.

Mexicans are presenting themselves as worthy of citizenship in America or Canada, when their people here are aggressors on the net taxpayer, and essentially waging war against the honest citizens, who do not corruptly eat up net public subsidy. The druggocratic Mexicans are enemies of the net taxpayer, and thus of all of our people, because we owe loyalty to the net taxpayer when he is attacked by foreign parasites. The Mexican corruption should not be allowed to dump its failures here; it is a gross offense against morality. It rewards failure, and punishes honest success. What policy more subversive of morality could be devised?
