Two Mexican opposition candidates on Sunday vowed to take a tougher line against U.S. President Donald Trump’s border wall, at events where they were selected by their parties to seek the presidency in a July 1 election.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, 64, of the leftist Morena party holds a double-digit lead in recent polls although right-left coalition leader Ricardo Anaya has recently gained traction.

Former finance minister Jose Antonio Meade, 48, nominated on Sunday by the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), trails behind Lopez Obrador by as much as 20 points.

Lopez Obrador told several hundred Morena supporters gathered at a Mexico City hotel that Trump’s plan for a U.S.-Mexico border wall is unnecessary and bound to leave problems unresolved.

“If he insists on building the wall, we’re going to turn to the United Nations to defend the rights of Mexicans,” he said. “I‘m conscious of my historic responsibility.”

The former Mexico City mayor who has run twice for the presidency also promised to combat inequality, crime and corruption, key election issues for all of Mexico’s main political parties.

Anaya echoed Lopez Obrador’s opposition to a U.S.-Mexico border wall, refusing to pay for its construction and saying he would be tougher than the PRI to defend Mexico’s independence.

“Mexico will never again be treated like a doormat for the United States, as it’s been in this government,” said Anaya,

Wall on the Southern Mexican border = Good Wall of the Northern Mexican bother = Bad

[Cowboy Bob]

By opposing the wall, they are admitting their country sucks.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Bashing President Trump like that?

Who do they think they are?

American democrats?

[Grampa Dave]

The Russia/Russia stuff was just bs to hide the real meddlers in American politics, the elite Mexican Rulers.

Elite Mexican Rulers, who sent millions of their uneducated, unskilled and criminals to America to live off our free benefits and to vote illegally at all levels of our government.

Mexico equals the master meddlers in our country!

Undocumented Democrats and older Dreamers at work destroying legal Americans in America.

How much meddling in our country and elections comes from Mexico and other South of our border countries?

On a July 2017 program, Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough stared into the camera and invited people to contact him if they’re aware of a presidential campaign that accepted “oppo research or support” from a foreign power.

Hey, Mika/Joe how about Mexico interfering with every US election since LBJ was president with donations, bribes and millions of Illegal voters?

Carlos Slim* owns a large share of the NY Slimes and ensures that the Slimes has had daily hit pieces on Candidate and President Trump for close to two years!

They are exactly right. President Trump is not their president. He is Our President

This is their president! He is the biggest meddler in America Politics!

What Country provided at least 90% of the illegal voters in 2016. It wasn’t Russia/Russia!

Mexico has been interfering with our elections since LBJ was president. It wasn’t the evil Russians interfering with our elections. It has been and is the evil and elite white rulers of the Mexican Government and their illegals sent here forced to come here by the elite Mexican Rulers.

Last year, hundreds of illegal aliens and other sanctuary city advocates filled the Texas House gallery to protest a bill that will protect Texans from criminal illegal aliens.

During that protest some illegal aliens held signs saying ‘I am illegal and here to stay.’ Texas Republican Representative Matt Rinaldi then decided to call ICE on the self described illegals.

The Russia/Russia bs was and still is, just a rat and rino distraction from the real meddlers and real interfering evil scum of our elections. The Mexican Government, their illegals here, the rat politicians, and our Rino’s, who want them for their cheap labor and votes. These scumbags are the real meddlers in our election, not Russia!

Illegals and their liberal supporters threatening Texas legislators for daring to uphold our laws re immigration in the Gallery @ the Texas Legislature Building.

How many millions of $’s/Pesos has Mexico donated to our democrats to keep their illegals in America, since LBJ?

How much Mexican money did Obama and Clinton receive personally and for their elections?

How many illegal Mexicans voted for Illiarily in the 2016 election and for Obama's two terms?

How many illegal Mexicans voted for rats to control our cities, counties, states and of course at our federal level in 2016?

How many Hispanic tv channels like Univision, do we have on Comcast, Direct TV, Dish TV and other tv providers, that we pay for, and we don’t speak Spanish? Who owns those Spanish only channels? Why do we have to pay for Spanish TV channels/stations, when we don’t speak Spanish? Didn't these Hispanic channels/stations support Clinton in 2016?

Again: Who owns a large % of the NY Slimes and other US election meddling companies? See the * below for the answer.

It is past time for our Congress to stop the Mexican meddling/interference/hacking at every level in America.

How many millions of $’s has Mexico donated to the democrats to keep their illegals here, at every level, city, county, state and Federal level?

Again, the Russia/Russia bs was just a rat and rino distraction from the real meddlers and real interfering evil scum of our elections, the elite rulers of Mexico and their illegals in America.

ATTENTION RUSSIAN AGENTS AND SPIES! If you wish to collude with candidate Trump, take a number and be seated behind the millions of illegal Mexicans who have been meddling in American politics for decades.

The Mexican Government, their illegals here, the rat politicians controlled by them, and our Rino’s, who want them for their cheap labor and votes, are the real meddlers in our elections, not Russia!

It is time to enforce our standing laws against illegal Mexican immigration and Mexican illegals voting!

Muck Fexico.

When your neighbor objects to a fence on YOUR property, you know that you cannot trust your neighbor. I helped my neighbor build his fence. When it was done, he helped my build my fence and connect it to his fence. And on our shared property line, he brought it down to 4’ so we could chat and exchange tools.

THAT is how you know you can trust your neighbor.

They should be thanking the US for all the Billions of dollars it lets Mexicans send home

[Lurkinanloomin]

Mexico’s largest source of income is the money sucked out of the USA by illegal aliens.

Re-post of my comment from another thread:
IF we are so freaked out by Russia’s interference in our elections -— why are we not incensed by Mexico’s interference with OUR entire political structure??? How many ads have Mexican nationals produced in an in-your-face effort to influence OUR elections and elected officials? How many Mexican nationals have actually been elected, i.e., infiltrated OUR government at the local level, in order to circumvent OUR laws? How many booklets have the Mexican Government produced and published helping and even encouraging Mexican nationals to invade OUR country and access OUR social systems for the benefit of Mexico? I can’t remember ever seeing hundreds of Russians take to OUR streets in protest of OUR laws and American interests. Why are we not holding Mexico and Mexicans in the same contempt as Russians for doing exactly the same thing -— except exponentially more of it? Do they get a pass just because we have a long contiguous border? Will it really matter, in the end, WHO usurps OUR government???

Mexicans have been “slamming the Trump wall” since the first time he mentioned it, especially after he taunted them with, “...and Mexico will pay for it”.

They went into exorcist head spins when he said that, and the pea soup just keeps on coming.

He lives in their collective heads...rent free.

[chrisser]

Not exactly a campaign of “Make Mexico Great Again”. Of course, it would have to have been great once and their high water mark seems to be when they kicked French butt once.

[dfwgator]

Yep, their slogan is “Make America Suck Again”

[dila813]

Just think how good the wall is for Mexico, it will block drugs, guns, and drug money both ways.

[cranked]

I would wager that each opposition candidate is backed by a cartel, as well......

[txrefugee]

Will they boycott the US and not let their criminals and peons sneak over the border anymore?

We feed their kids free breakfast and lunch at school so they can send money back to Mexico. Form the looks of the Dreamer protests, we shouldn’t have.

[Bookshelf]

What happened to the PAN (pro-business) party? Did Vicente Fox’s ineptitude destroy it?

[EdnaMode]

Hopefully. They should all stay in Mexico.

“If he insists on building the wall, we’re going to turn to the United Nations to defend the rights of Mexicans,” he said. “I‘m conscious of my historic responsibility.”

Well, he sounds as stupid as a Democrat. Thanks EdnaMode.
