MEXICO CITY — Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s calls to impound the money undocumented workers send home and to jack up fees for Mexicans crossing the border legally each day could prove harmful to the economies of both countries, Mexican experts said Monday. Even proponents of Trump’s immigration stance said some aspects of his platform are impractical or cannot be implemented in their entirety. Trump, whose surge in U.S. polls has troubled many Mexicans, issued a policy paper Sunday that called for blocking the money undocumented Mexican workers send home to their families and increasing fees at border crossing points and for border crossing cards that 1 million Mexicans uses. The measure would stay in place a permanent border wall can be built. “We will not be taken advantage of anymore,” the Trump policy paper said.

Trump ‘s surge in polls is troubling to Mexicans, LOL
Good point. I would term it “cultural diffusion”.
Those mexicans we excrete back to their homeland know what a functional, Western civilization looks like.
Just all kinds of downsides, actually. :)

Catastrophic for the future electoral prospects of the democrat party.
Catastrophic for the GOPe and their cheap labor pimps at the U.S. Chamber of Amnesty, and for Thomas Donohue.
Catastrophic for the corrupt Mexican government and the underclass they want to send north.
Like you said, they can go pee up a rope.
Or, as my late father used to say, “they can go pi$$ up a CROOKED rope!”
Yup, catastrophic to the Mexican economy as they say adios to all the American Taxpayer dollars being made available to be sent home through all the supplement programs offered and promoted to the southern invaders.
And we never will see the push back that Trump delivers. If for nothing else the crashing down hard on Mexican and their flow of American dollars to Mexico, Trump gets my vote.
Shouldn’t their be reciprocity at least. Americans should be able to go to Mexico at will.
It would only take about a generation before the Americans owned the economy.
Trump has won me over on immigration alone...everything else is just gravy!
Compared to what illegals flooding our border and all the issues that creates?
Compared to our 18 trillion, and rising, debt?
Compared to ObamaCare.
Estos genios deben consideran afortunados que no ha habido una guerra civil .... todavía
I believe the funds Trump is talking about are the penalties charged to firms who have employee claims against them. That money goes imto a central fund and is distributed by the the Mexican government. So the money actually comes from US not Mexico.
Western Union does charge a hefty fee to wire money to Mexico. Somebody there gets their cut.
Reciprocal treatment, the way Mexico treats its illegals is the way we should handle illegals from Mexico. Is the way the US should handle this.

Mexicans may not like it, but the citizens of the USA like it alot. Finally we have someone willing to stand up for US.
“Someone is actually standing up to their bull****?”
I’ll have the Trump, a side order of Trump, and for dessert—a big bowl of TRUMP!
Yes they will. Plenty of Dims will vote for Trump.
LOL!
Respect involves recognizing the nature of those who are the subject of that respect. Nothing is more ludicrous than the idea that you show respect to any of the unique peoples of the world, by pretending that they are interchangeable--as the Leftist "diversity" cult pretends.
The fact that various peoples successfully assimilated into the Anglo/Celtic culture of the Founders, does not mean that all peoples so assimilate. The fact that when we had far less people within our borders, when that assimilation took place, does not add anything in favor of an open border with Mexico. The fact that Jefferson bought Louisiana--look it up--in order to create a buffer between the Anglo & Hispanic peoples in North America, showed a recognition of one the essential points, over two centuries ago.
Yes there are hard working people in Mexico; yes some of them are admirable representatives of Mexican culture. None of this is an argument for turning American communities into Hispanic communities.
Just all kinds of downsides, actually. :)
