Why does Mexico care if we construct a wall? The only thing he needs to be concerned with is Trump saying his country is going to be paying for it.
Why? I'll make it real simple for you, and it has nothing to do with poor Jose and his family crossing the border illegally to get here. The answer in one word is drugs. Mexico is infested with corruption in part due to the cartels that control the drug trade. A physical barrier would funnel people, including drug mules into the hands of us authorities. If built right, it would also prevent tunneling underneath. So if you're in the drug business, how are you going to get your product into the US if there is a big fat physical barrier erected? So my point is that the drug cartels that control the Mexican politicians don't want a wall because it's going to put a huge dent in their business.
