Mexico condemns Donald Trump's 'racist' and 'absurd' immigration plan

‘These comments reflect prejudice, racism or plain ignorance,’ Mexico’s foreign ministry says of Trump’s plan to make Mexico pay for a border wall.

Mexico’s government on Wednesday slammed US presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s proposals to deport undocumented immigrants en masse and make Mexicans pay for a wall separating the two countries as absurd, racist and ignorant.

Launching his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in New York in June, Trump accused Mexico of sending “rapists and drug runners” across the United States’ southern border and pledged to build a wall to keep illegal immigrants out.

Over the weekend, Trump said he would increase fees on some Mexican visas and all border crossing cards as part of a broader plan to make Mexico pay for the barrier. He also said he would deport millions of undocumented migrants.

“We continue to stand by our position that these comments reflect prejudice, racism or plain ignorance,” Mexico’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday....

Since when is mexico a race?

The only place race applies as to Mexico, speaking from personal experience with many from south of our border, is their extreme racism especially for their own Indians. You aren't worth spit in Mexico unless you are a blond haired blue eyed Spaniard.

Imperial Germany even thought they could get Mexico to declare war on us. >

Mexico contributed practically nothing to the WWII effort. They sent an Air Force squadron of some sort when the war was almost over. They were a non-participant for all practical purposes.

It’s bad enough men allowed females to destroy America, but did we have to let the Mexicans join in WITH them? F’em ALL. Mexicans are THEIVES who come here to p*ss on our flag and STEAL everything that’s not NAILED DOWN.

Illegal immigrants in Mexico get thrown in jail or deported.

Why isn’t that “racist”?

Mexico doesn’t like it, then take back all your people and we’ll get along just fine....

Trump has Mexico by the balls and they know it, but they are to dumb to figure out what to do about it...

They might be getting money from the U.S. right now, but when Trump gets into office, it’s all over but the crying....

Yeah really! In the 60’s I dated a Mexican girl who had pale blue eyes, fair skin, and blonde throughout! How racist of me to date that Mexican!

A tax on remittances. The Mexicans will pay for it that way.

That wide open border is a gravy train to the Mexicans, the GOPe, and the Dems. None of these groups care a lick what happens to us.

Jeb, I’m talking to you. You call it an “act of love” but its more like the rape of the American people: our laws, money, and security.

Yep, they haven't exactly been one of the great defenders of Western Civilization, of which they now want to avail themselves of in every way possible, legal and illegal.

My advice to Met-E-Co is to start putting aside money to pay for that wall.

Can I freely buy property in Mexico? No... not in prime locations. Can I ask for welfare in Mexico? No way. Can I show up at a political demonstration in Mexico waving the American flag and making a ruckus? Good luck with that.

Do they have to dial "1" for Spanish in Mexico?

Why don’t we just tell Mexico that we are going to adopt the Mexican policies on immigration? Don’t they have much tougher immigration laws and policies than we do?

Mexcico’s condemnation of Trump’s proposed immigration and illegal immigration policies is a ringing endorsement of them for me,

Others have tried only to have their property confiscated by the Mexican government.
