Mexican Senate Threatens to Stop Helping U.S. Against Drug Cartels If Trump Deploys Troops to Border
Breitbart ^ | April 5, 2018 | by ILDEFONSO ORTIZ AND BRANDON DARBY

Posted on 04/05/2018 5:39:59 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

The Mexican Senate passed a resolution seeking an end to bilateral cooperation with the U.S. against drug cartels and immigration problems after President Trump ordered National Guard troops to the border.

The resolution was passed in a unanimous fashion and sent to the White House, Members of the U.S. Congress, and Mexico’s Foreign Relations Officer, El Universal reported.

“Despite everything that is at stake in the relationship between our two countries, the way in which President Donald Trump has behaved is, for the Mexican people, unacceptable and intolerable,” El Universal quoted from the document.

The resolution demands that President Trump respect the people of Mexico, and notes the Senate “condemns the unfounded and offensive expressions about Mexico and Mexicans and the treatment that is needed for a relationship between neighboring countries, partners, and allies.”

Hey Mexico. We don’t need your stinkin’, tasteless tomatoes, peppers, etc. We can grow our own and pay our own workers for their labor.

Just think how many Mexican legal and illegal workers would be put out of a job if we began a boycott against anything and everything Mexican.

And if we stop being touristas in Mexico, just how many jobs will you lose?

Plus we can then execute convicted Mexican cartel drug and human traffickers without one of your Consulate officers arriving to stage a scene for any leftist camera around.

You need our tourism. We don’t need yours’.
You need our goods and services. We don’t need yours.
I am growing my own tomatoes, thank you, or I’ll buy from our own American growers, thank you.

Oil. We don’t need your stinkin’ oil! We’ve got plenty of our own.

I think the last beautiful thing Mexico exported to the US was Selma Hayek and before that Linda Ronstadt and Lana Cantrell (?).

Remember the Alamo and Sam Houston!

Mexico is happy to get rid of excess people who are not part of government or drug producers. They want us to take what they wont help. They r being exposed mostly as corrupt cowards. The brave ones are assassinated. Immigrants are trying to get outta there cuz there is no future. Hey...time for major change in mexico...no?

Good insight. The money lining the pockets of American politicians is being paid by the prostitution being used to finance the cost of drugs, the shootings to control the user market, the robberies to generate the capital for new drug inventories, the deaths from overdoses and the destruction of families. By shutting down the money transfers into Mexico, you shut down the money cycle.

*** “Is that a threat or a promise?” ***

Don’t know or care .223 or .30 x 25/30 x many mags (Militia Stuff) with day/night optics might help sort it out.
True Military Grade stuff will sort it out faster.

More reason for us to declare war on Mexico, since they are aligned with the drug cartels bringing death into our country.

I think it should be pointed out that if we're under a moral obligation to take in Mexican economic and lawlessness refugees that we then have the same obligation to militarily change things in Mexico.

Wow, Mexico gets a forced error on this one.

If I was PDJT I would tell them take care of your cartels or we will.

Mexico has absolutely no say on where the U.S deploys its troops in the U.S. Trying to do so tells me that there is another agenda in play here.

The vast majority of Mexicans are really very nice people, as the President has pointed out.

However, they need to be liberated from the evil forces in their leadership.(The Spanish)

It goes back to their Spanish roots. The Anglos came to the north with their Protestant work ethic and morality, whereas the Spanish left their wives home and came to conquer and plunder.

Yep - Trump can't be the first President to actually grasp the big picture but he is the first to actually care enough to show he has the gonads to do something useful instead of the political tripe we have become accustomed to...

MAGA!!!!

BTW, we are 1/15 of the way through this FReepathon and only 1/20th of the way to success - we have so much to gain and so much more to lose if we fail to do everything we can to help Trump - once in a lifetime chance....let's git 'er dun!

the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill gives the DJT the power to militarize the border under current circumstances.

Right?

There’s nothing they can do to hurt us.

Any action they take is likely to benefit us.

“We are giving them $87B in aid. They’re going to what?https://www.reference.com/government-politics/much-foreign-aid-united-states-give-mexico-d1238a7e5dd87a09";

Opps, millions not billions. I recall a Dodge commercial where the government accountant pronounces the price of the new Dodge as $14 billion. The salesman looks at his calculator and says $14 thousand. The government accountant says, “What’s the difference?”

If this is true, the Mexican government is behind the cartels and the violent criminal invasion.

Of course he is right about the Mexican government being behind the cartels.

It is kind of like being a no brainer that the US Government is behind Fast and Furious, let our people DIE in Benghazi and NEVER really want the "war on drugs" to be over. They love the importation of drugs for our kiddies on the street..

The kick back from the sell of drugs to Americans has to rate way up there for the Mexican oligarchy. Probably not as high as the US Government, but hey our politicians do not come cheap.

The Mexican "people" have trampled on the so-called "relationship". And up until now, the US government has done next to nothing to complain about the abuse.

And outgoing traffic. Stop the flow of $$ into Mexico. Jennifer Anuston and her crowd would have a cow.

This is effectively Mexico threatening war against the United States.

10-4. The cartels control the Mexican government. The wall is their biggest fear, along with militarization of the border. All the DACA-amnesty-caravan crapola is PR for them. Dudes are billionairs from drugs going over the border.
