The Mexican government announced they will close their borders to Americans in the event that Donald Trump is elected President of the United States. President Enrique Peña Nieto announced the country fears Americans will flood their country and bring violence and chaos to their streets.
“Americans have a well-documented history of violence and we must act to keep our country safe,” President Nieto stated. “Many Americans have expressed a desire to relocate to our country in the event that Donald Trump becomes President. We can not have Mexico flooded with criminals and rapists. They are a violent nation and they won’t send us their best. We must be vigilant and keep a close eye on what could possibly transpire.”
The unprecedented move would mark a dynamic change in how Mexico handles foreigners. Many Mexicans fear the move could adversely affect trade relations with the United States. Mexico is currently the United States 3rd largest goods trading partner with $507 billion in total (going both directions) goods trade during 2013. Goods exports totaled $226 billion; Goods imports totaled $280 billion. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Mexico was $54 billion in 2013.
Good, that will save a lot of money!
No problemo
Sorry, I don't see a problem here.
Should be worth 2%-3% extra in November.
Maybe they should test it for a few months starting now
No complaints from me...that is what we want, the border closed and Trump elected...
GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
This has to be satire.
Mexico would completely collapse if they did this. They need gringo dollars to stay alive.
I guess we will have to look to California for avocados and our own farms for lettuce and onions.
As long as they close it in both directions, I’m all for it.
They say that like it’s a bad thing.
This is from some ate-up blog and I wouldn’t believe it.. much less post it as “News”.
Trump Bump +4, thanks Mexico!
Another reason to vote for Trump.
Mexico SHOOTS people trying to illegally cross THEIR southern border. They do. They really do.
Maybe this is what Trump means when he says they’ll pay for the wall. LOL.
I assume he means all the undocumented Americans who might be deported?
No complaints here.
WONDERFUL! Maybe they can build a wall...
