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.

Excellent. Mexico has been taking our money to float their poverty for a very long time. Now it is our turn.

We didn’t seize their land, they sold it to us.

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 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.

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.”

"during its history has often felt bullied and threatened by its wealthier, more powerful neighbor"

If sneak into a neighbor's house and pretend you have a right to be there, you deserve to be bullied.

Still, the “Remittance” scam has to be tackled. Some of it is legal but it should all be interrupted while the transactions are reviewed. Illegal transfers expose the looter as well as the employer or detect that the person is collecting social service money and sending it out. A halt while reviewing will send shockwaves.

So this is the US paying for the wall, but at the same time, giving HUGE incentives for companies to re-patriot their factories back to the United States.

But then again, this is, of course, is yet another step in the negotiation. We’ll see how it evolves.

Mexicans view a wall across the 2,000-mile border as a symbolic affront...

That's not true!...... It's a physical affront..................
