"Building a wall is stupid. It will go against your best interest."

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox said Donald Trump should drop out of the presidential race, go back to his business and reflect on how Mexico has been a positive influence on the United States.
"I would invite this guy to drop out of the race and go back to his business," Fox said in an interview with Fox Business on Friday. He pointed to the history of trade between the U.S. and Mexico.
"He doesn't know a little bit about macro-economics, he doesn't know about history, he doesn't recognize what NAFTA is about," Fox said. "We [Mexico] are partially responsible for making that economy as strong as it is."
Fox initially appeared to respond to a request for an apology from Trump after the former president said "I'm not gonna pay for that f------ wall," during a Fusion interview. He was referencing Trump's plan to build a giant wall between the two countries and make Mexico pay for it.
But Fox refused to apologize Friday, and instead he repeated his statement.
"I am not gonna pay for that f------ wall, I am not ... I am not gonna apologize," Fox said. "Building a wall is stupid. It will go against your best interest."

Well, looks like the Vicente Fox fan club wont be voting for Trump ...
This guy’s a great advertisement for Trump. With the number of illegals filling our prisons, having a wall and stopping that would pay for itself.
Unlike OUR current president, at least you know Fox will always do what’s best for HIS country.
Did he say ‘Macro’ economics, or ‘Narco’ economics?
wow, you got a shot of the Presidente and the Treasurer of the Vicente Fox fan club!
Mexico has strict immigration enforcement on its southern border which keeps out poor, illiterate, and often times sick invaders from other Central American fascist dictatorships. FUVF.
So says the ex-Jefe of one of the most corrupt governments on earth to the leading Cheap Labor Express cable TV channel.
Good one!
the Narco-kleptocracy speaks !
Building a wall is certainly against Mexico’s interests. They are dumping their poverty and ignorance on us.
El Corrupto and his merry band of Narco’s are getting a little nervous. No more Sgt Tahmooreesi’s when Trump takes office.
Macroeconomics? Wharton School of Business. Fox, Rubio and Cruz are not in the same league.
Fox is as corrupt as his long line of predecessors. Mexican government has been corrupt for many many years. They don’t have money because their politicians and government officials are getting it all. Fix your own durn country or we will not let you in ours. Sleeze ball!
No Most Favored Nation status for Mexico. They should finally be punished for the Drug trafficking
Stop the wire transfers from illegals in USA, tax them.
Send the 180,000 criminals back empty our jails
Slap tariffs on Mexican oil, goods
Mexico won’t let Americans own land in Mexico. Do the same here, and slap a tax on Mexican owned land in the USA.
Stop the 40 billion in USA foreign aid for Mexico
They will pay for the wall.
$25 billion was sent to Mexico from the U.S. in 2014. If the U.S. added a 5% tax, that would be $1.25 billion per year. Enough for a muy bueno wall.
Also we could trade Mexico California for a fence.
