Mexico was a failed state prior to Trump but now the media is going to try attribute Mexico's problems to Trump or imply that he is the cause.

Once again, lying media.

[Paladin2]

I suspect that the Drug and People running businesses along with gov’t corruption are doing fine.

[Resettozero]

Wow! Who owns UPI now?

(Thought they died a couple of times.)

Mexico was always a failed state. Take a look at the history of that country and its governments.

Spaniards screwed up everything they touched.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Mexico is the country that tried to interfere with our election.
They will pay a price for it.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Good, they need to have their revolution.

[PGR88]

Imagine a country so weak, fragile and disorganized that the words of the President-elect, before he even enters power, can knock it to its knees.

That’s what socialism does to you.

[ColdOne]

BS....Mexico, Vincente Fox a main reason it is the way it is. Corrupt. How many Mexicans died on his watch? Heads cut off and hug from bridges and street signs.

Oil, Trump, leave Mexico in dire economic straits

Incredibly incompetent and corrupt government left Mexico in dire economic straits decades ago. That's why there are more people who were born in Mexico currently living in the US than in Mexico. Build the wall now.

[ColdOne]

Do you know how much oil the country has? I thought they had a massive amount? How much oil money goes into corrupt peoples pocket? Drug cartel pocket?

If Trump sends the illegals back, it could cause social revolution in Mexico. The Mexican elite use the USA as a safety valve to send millions of their unemployables up here so they don’t foment troubles down there.

[sheana]

Not. My. Problem. 😜

[Snowybear]

Just wait until Trump cracks down on the money immigrants (both legal and otherwise) are sending back to Mexico.

[dirtymac]

I think that they should double down by calling all Americans racist, that they are going to reclaim California, that if we try to deport illegals, etc.

[Leep]

Mexico will soon be invaded by Mexicans..?

[bigbob]

He’ll end up begging to pay for the wall.

[Flavious_Maximus]

They sent us 30 million welfare parasites, rapist, gangsters and criminals, populated our schools with millions of anchor babies, flooded our hospital emergency room with every disease known (some unknown) and now have the nerve to complain about dire circumstances?

I want them to suffer greatly.

[WMarshal]

Trump is having a negative effect on Mexico because investors in Mexican assets know that the Mexican economy is propped-up by remittances from illegal aliens in America. It that artificial support diminishes significantly then Mexico economy will be in serous trouble and so will be their investments.

People create wealth. Government creates poverty.

We have been allowing our cousin Eduardos to the south to park in our driveway for long enough—draining their holding tanks into our storm sewer, mooching and lowering property values, stealing the jobs that weren’t sent south, their narco-terrorist cartels hurting us by bringing in drugs and trafficking their countrymen and children, committing crimes and burdening our jails and prisons.
As Trump suggested at his press conference, as far as Mexico goes and other countries taking advantage of Americans with sharp, one-sided trade practices for 25 years—we’ve been `Clark Griswold’ long enough.
It’s going to change. They don’t have to like it.

Mexico needs the US more than we need them
