Mexico’s foreign secretary is planning an all-out legal assault on any future construction of a border wall by the U.S., to include filing suits in U.S. and international courts over possible environmental, human rights and international treaty violations.

Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray told congressional leaders here that Mexico will neither pay for nor cooperate with the wall proposed by the Trump administration, under any circumstances.

He called the wall proposal a “profoundly unfriendly” and “hostile” act.

“We won’t contribute in any manner, directly or indirectly or financially or in any other form to the continuation of a construction of a wall or any other type of physical barrier between our two countries,” Videgaray told members of the congressional foreign relations committee. …

Sending your poor, uneducated and criminals into our country illegally is not a hostile act?
Creating booklets describing the best routes to use and how to avoid apprehension is not exactly the actions of a friendly neighbor.

One of the very best reason to throw up the wall ASAP, and get repercussions over with immediately. With force, if necessary.

So, Mexico wants to control drug and peep outflow over their northern border?

Protecting our border from your invasion is “ unfriendly”?

Your invasion is unfriendly!

Nice. They meet Trump with their own brand of Power.

They will accept Trump Power and they will capitulate.

The Wall will be built.

He’s going to have a helluva time explaining what’s wrong with the wall when he is overrun with his own drug lords and traffickers who will be back in Mexico destroying HIS country.
International law does not supersede the Constitution. Neither do the loons that think we have to listen to the garbage from the Communist human rights committee who have no power over us.

Mexico sending their criminals here is a hostile act.

So, umm, Mexico, does that mean you're going to sue to tear down the wall you helped build in Tijuana to the Pacific Ocean near San Diego? Or you'll run tanks over the section that goes out to Calexico, which you helped pay for?

Or how about sections of the wall in Texas?

Let's see, those aren't evil because Trump wasn't involved, right? Let me merely raise the one fingered salute in your direction and fully accept the White House acknowledging your declaration of war and maneuvers appropriate combat engineers and support battalions to the border region and that they appropriately enter hostile territory and begin constructing barriers for any invading armies, whether they be on foot or mounted.

Guys, guys! Don’t get all upset. If Mexico doesn’t like walls, then the Mexicans just shouldn’t build one. I am fine with that.

America on the other hand, should just build whatever we darn well want to. I don’t really care who pays for it. The wall will be cheap in the long run.

(See there. I am reasonable. I should be Secretary of State, or maybe a deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner. I have good intentions, after all.)

Mexicans think they have a right to ignore our border and should be able to enter our country any time they feel like it and ignore the rest of our laws when they get here.
