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....

Trump needs to get a copy of all the Mexican Immigration laws in effect, translate them to English and release them as his “New friendly immigration plan”...

Then when the Mexican morons condemn it, reveal that his pl;an is just the translated Mexican plan and tell them to suck it

Remember Sergeant Tahmooressi? Trump does and was very kind and helpful on his release while others were watching him rot in a Mexican prison.

Mexican foreign ministry: “We continue to stand by our position that these comments reflect prejudice, racism or plain ignorance,”

Trump: “We continue to view your encouraging your poor, unskilled societal leeches to illegally cross our sovereign borders as a de facto invasion. Wahattya gonna do about it?”

We’re pissing you off? Well, you’re pissing us off.

If Trump is successful in sending millions of illegals back maybe Mexico can finally have the revolution it’s corrupt ruling class has managed to avoid for the past 20 years.

They’ll pay for it one way or another. We send them billions in aid. So 2017, we send them a couple billon less and use that money to build the wall. Viola’ Mexico has paid for it.

Now the Mexicans have a point. We really shouldn’t be talking about a wall. We should be talking about a buffer zone. Since we already have roughly a fourth of the Mexican population, why not take the land too? The northern states of Mexico will do nicely. Its not like the Mexican fovernment is managing those states well.

“That doesn’t sound like someone who is willing to pay for the wall.”

They will. Otherwise American nationalists might just decide that America’s best interests are served by expanding our territory rather than settling for a mere wall.

[ Can we compare Mexican immigration laws versus US immigration law? So what does Mexico do on their Southern border?. I think Mexico here is fibbing... ]

Damned Right!

Just ask a LEGAL Guatemalan immigrant about Mexico’s southern border horror stories.

The federales in Mexico make our border patrol look like ice cream men giving away free ice cream to illegals compared to them. The federales patrolling mexico’s southern borders commit all sorts of atrocities dealing with mexico’s illegals.

Hey Mexico,

If we want the opinion of leaders of a mismanaged dung heap we’ll let you know.

Otherwise, shut up and get ready for a butt kicking because it is coming in 2017.

Our current policy definitely does enable the Mexican kleptocracy there just like illegals retard technological innovation here.

The 'pros' list consists of two or three items and a very limited number of beneficiaries, while the 'cons' list is a mile long and effects tens of millions.

Mexico and it’s ruling class have fine tuned corruption into a science, and they collude with our politicians for OJT. They are bringing their culture of corruption to the USA, and we’ll be forced to pay ànd sacrifice while the establishment in both countries gets rich.

So we take our money and use it to build the wall instead of giving it to Mexico and you think they paid for it?

Think Donald holding his hands in air, responding to Chris Wallace at Fox Debate:

“What am I SAYING?”

So if we seize Mexico then are they still illegal aliens?
