MEXICO CITY--President Enrique Pe

I think I can live without strawberries fertilized with human AIDS poop. I’m good.
Nope. Because it would be Americans paying for the wall.
That’s a good start.
Now add to that a 20% currency transfer fee for funds going from the US to Mexico and stand back to watch the heads explode.
The WaPo bias is strong with this article.
Leverage, baby. This is what it looks like.
Excellent. Mexico has been taking our money to float their poverty for a very long time. Now it is our turn.
That means that “We” pay for the wall as Mexico will simply raise their prices. Of course a 20% increase would put their produce out of the market.
We didn’t seize their land, they sold it to us.
I would prefer a tax on remittances to mexico sent back by the mexicans here.
This is just the start. Trump wants higher import taxes on everything. So get used to paying more for everything so the unions get more jobs.
Mexico will cave - they have no other choice. The art of the deal - negotiate from a strong position and be willing to walk away. TRUMP knows what he is doing.
Mexico chose to walk away today but they’ll be back! And if not who cares? We’ve paid for far more useless things - like the Dept of Education for instance.
The Marxist scum in CNN are almost in tears over this !
YOU CANT STUMP THE TRUMP
The legacy of heavy-handed U.S. behavior — which includes invasions and the seizure of significant Mexican lands
WTF??? NO SUCH THING EVER HAPPENED
Last time I looked the Mexicans PICKED A FIGHT with the US and got Stomped, then instead of keeping the Spoils of War, WE PAID THEM FOR THE LAND
Typical FAKE NEWS from Amazon.
It’s a cost to Americans only if it affects the end cost the consumer in America pays.
Some products have to priced based on their competition.
You can add 6000 in border tax to a 30,000 auto, but that doesn’t mean consumers will choose the 36,000 auto over the 30,000 one.
Facts to work with...
“Mexico is currently our 3rd largest goods trading partner with $531 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2015. Goods exports totaled $236 billion; goods imports totaled $295 billion. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Mexico was $58 billion in 2015.”
How much foreign aid are we giving to Mexico and why isn’t it stopping?
No wonder why Peso stumbles http://www.infowars.com/peso-tumbles-after-mexican-president-says-he-rejects-trumps-border-wall/
This initiative might even help the crazy corruption in Mexico don’t you guys think?
