VILLA DE REYES, Mexico (AP) -- Word spread quickly through cellphone messages and shouts between co-workers that Ford Motor Co. had canceled its new $1.6 billion car plant at its sprawling 700-acre high desert site in north-central Mexico.

"When I saw it on the phone, (I thought), 'Well, no, it can't be,'" said Higinio Salazar, a security guard who spent the past five months logging traffic into and out of the site and hoped to have steady work for months to come. "It was on orders of Mr. Trump," he said bitterly....

A very long time. I saw a pic of Mexicans here in USA one of them was holding his crotch giving the bird. Another one of a kid holding a sign saying, make America Mexico again.

They have been raised that USA belongs to Mexico for many years.

Azatlan I think the name the Laz Raza name for the USA/Mexico state.

I have been holding back! LOL. I’m stating my argument stronger than my own personal beliefs but hyperbole has it’s purpose in the early stages of political change.

I have no personal beef with the Mexican people other than they have allowed their leaders, the very people who have abused them for centuries, they nmisled thrm to blame Americans.

People of Mexico,’I am an an American of Hispanic origin and I am telling you, you have to seize your own destiny, others will not do it for you. You f you continue nuentndepend on others to secure your freedom you will continue to be slaves.

Mexico needs to address their own so-called “leadership” issues if they want to secure a future for themselves.

Their dreams are not our problem. Perhaps they should choose leaders of their own country to conjure up some damn dreams.

Too bad.

It’s not their country and not their president.

They should invest their time and energy into making THEIR own country worth living in.

Hmmm. I would think that if Mexico really wanted a plant or two it could happen IF they build a big beautiful wall along the border first. Could that be the strategy?

“Maybe these people should invent stuff and build up their own country?”

They cant. Their white european anscestors got all rapey with the indian women, so now they have too much melanin to be able to do stuff like create civilization.

“I wonder what percentage of Mexico would welcome becoming America. Not reclaiming their old territories, to enlarge Mexico, but to be under American leadership.”

I have worked across 75% of the states in Mexico, though geographically almost 100%.

I have had more than one person down there in political conversations wonder aloud how much different Mexico would be if the were an English rather than a Spanish colony. (Both are caucasion), but culturally night and day, especially with corruption in government

Someone should tell the Mexican workers: ¡No, No Se Puede!
