MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico must be ready to respond immediately with its own tax measures if the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump imposes a border tax, the economy minister said on Friday, warning such protectionism may trigger a global recession.
Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, has promised a "major border tax" on companies that shift jobs outside the United States, and such a measure could hobble Mexico's exports to its top trading partner.
"It is clear we need to be prepared to immediately neutralize the impact of such a measure," Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo said in an interview on Mexican television.

This from a country where millions of its people dont have any respect for our laws or rules. Theyre some of the most disrespectful people on the planet.Exactly right with this added "...and hate the English language and anyone who speaks it."

Trump needs to enact new border security measures due to national security issues and start searching every vehicle which wants to enter the U.S. Back up the border entry points all the way back to Mexico City!

Trump needs to tax every wire transfer going into Me-hee-co.

Outstanding! It's time that we saw Mexico as an economic and political (but *not* military) enemy.Time to staff the wall that will be built with thousands (if not *tens* of thousands) of police and immigration agents.
BRING IT ON,PEDRO....WE'RE READY FOR YA!

Exactly...We don’t have to import them...

It’s been a long time coming between Mexico and the U.S. Millions of Mexicans have been defecating on American law and our rules for decades. The U.S. has become a total joke to most Mexicans.
It’s time to get it on and end this never ending bull sh*t.

Well, after we conquer them, they'll be our first bigger customer.
En serio, though, war with Mexico would be damn near impossible now, since far, far too many people here are either Mexican or have ties to Mexican nationals, or sympathy toward Mexicans, whether through hispanic solidarity, or rampant leftism.

“Mexico...You are going to tax what?????”
Likely they would impose a tax on American goods imported into Mexico.
Currently, the United States exports $267 billion dollars in goods to Mexico each year.
All Mexico would need to do is impose a 30% tax on all American goods imported into Mexico and they would collect $80 billion in taxes.

‘’They’re some of the most disrespectful people on the planet’’. Damn right. I hate Mexico and it’s people. Nothing but of bunch of thieving, arrogant beggars who have turned their country into a corrupted, dysfunctional cesspool that they can’t run away from fast enough.

Trump needs to tax every wire transfer going into Me-hee-co. That would be for starters.A fifty dollar (US dollars,no pesos) for *every* entry by a Mexican citizen.Plus,Western union and similar services would be required to verify the immigration status of everyone attempting to wire money to a foreign country.Failure to do so...accurately...would result in a $10,000 fine.
