I think Mexico is coming to the realization that the "gravy train" may be ending in the not too distant future as the Trump train rolls in!!

If a new U.S. administration blocks the flow of remittances -- the estimated $20 billion that Mexicans working in the U.S. send home each year -- then joint efforts to stop money laundering and other illicit forms of finance will be dealt a dangerous setback, a senior Mexican official warned Thursday.
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has vowed, if elected, to make Mexico pay to build a wall along the entire southwest border, even if it means impounding remittance payments.

"Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages"
Sounds like extortion by covering up illegal activity as punishment. Couldn’t there be a fine involved?
People not here on work visas aren’t allowed to work, as is true in every country, Mexico included. So the money is illegally obtained. There should be a tax on it leaving the country, if for no other reason that to pay for the costs of illegal aliens.
And stop calling it immigration, it’s not.
The Mexicans sure have been threatening the Americans a lot lately. Maybe we do need a war until we can build a fence and become friendly neighbors again.
This is called blackmail.
What else do you expect from a 3rd world country? This is exactly why we need to deport the illegals.
If you don’t let us continue to abuse you...
We’ll CONTINUE TO ABUSE YOU..!!!
So THERE...!
“So the money is illegally obtained”
And if an American had that job, the money would stay here to stimulate our economy.
A win-win.
Mexicos **** isn’t big enough to get into a pissing contest with Trump.
L
Trump’s got great enemies. They just keep pushing people into his fold.
Hell, the front money for new northern bound dope shipments might be affecteted. Everybody wins.
Suuure, bring it on, Mexico. Bring it on.
Remember the Alamo?
More importantly... Remember the Battle of San Jacinto?
KMFA Neito & ex-presidente Fox.
No! Not the Jose Cuervo Tequila imports!
I hope Trump reads up on President James K. Polk. Our greatest unknown President. Polk knew how to deal with Mexico.
It is racist to say blackmail. From now on, the PC MINISTRY OF PROPAGANDA expects to hear “mail of color.”
The Gravy Train to the rest of the world’s despots will end as well.
Yeah,I’ll bet. The USA is Mexico’s second largest source of revenue. They hate us ... but they SURE need us.
I am not seeing a problem with stopping them from taking money out of our economic cycle
What are they going to do, flood us with illegals? Oh, wait ...
Sucks to be them...
