Mexico needs us, but we don’t need them in any way. That country is a net drain on our people and our resources.

If they know whats good for them, they’ll come to the bargaining table with hat in hand, and take whatever crumbs President Trump is willing to give them.

Absolutely, but the long term goals should be to eliminate the rampant corruption and control of Mexico by the ruling elites, and create a society that Mexicans don't feel the need to escape from just to make a living. A strong and vibrant Mexico will ultimately mean a safer USA. Imagine a Canada south :-).

America has served as a pressure relief valve for the corrupt state of Mexico for generations. If we were to force the tens of millions of Mexican illegals residing here to go home, and bar the door to their re-entry, the pressure would build sufficiently in that country to force fundamental change.

It's really the only way to permanently fix this problem.

Trump needs to double or triple his security!!
