Donald Trump certainly knows how to manipulate the media and ruffle some feathers in order to get a reaction, this we know. Trump's plan to build a wall on the Mexican border doesn't need to be rehashed here, but one person who has let Trump's rhetoric on the subject get under his skin is former Mexican president Vicente Fox.
Fox has been on an emotional roller coaster ever since Trump started in with his criticisms of Mexico.
Initially, Fox took to the airwaves to let everyone know that the wall Trump has said Mexico will pay for, ya, he's not going to be paying for that.
"I declare, I'm not going to pay for that f*cking wall"

Bring it on TURD world countries.
Mas votas para El Donald. Viva Trump!!
The wall would not need to be paid for with funds directly received from Mexico. Remittances from the US back to Mexico could be taxed at 50%-75%. Problem solved.
‘And their second largest source of revenue is remittances from illegals.’
Actually remittances surpassed oil to become Mexico’s number one source of revenue:
‘Mexicans working outside the country surpassed petroleum revenues in 2015 for the first time. There was a 4.75% increase in money sent from abroad, most of which comes from the U.S., to total US $24.8 billion last year, up from $23.6 billion in 2014, said the Bank of México.
The bank said it was the first time remittances had totaled more than petroleum revenues since it began tracking them in 1995. Oil revenues last year totaled $23.4 billion.’
.. and here's U.S. Census showing the multi-millions of invaders.
Table 1. Ten Countries of Birth for the Foreign - Born Population with the Highest Number of Foreign Born: 1960 to 2010" in The Size, Place of Birth, and Geographic Distribution of the Foreign - Born Population in the United States: 1960 to 2010, pdf file PDF file.
"In 1960, there were about 576,000 foreign born from Mexico residing in the United States; by 1980, there were 2.2 million; and by 2010, there were 11.7 million (see Table 1). The greatest change occurred between 1970 and 2000, when the number of foreign born from Mexico increased rapidly, nearly tripling in size between 1970 and 1980, nearly doubling in size between 1980 and 1990, and more than doubling again between 1990 and 2000."
I believe that the Census does not separate legal from ILLEGAL.. IMO the majority of "invaders" are welcome here -- if they made efforts to obey our laws..
but if you looked at the referenced FR thread above you will see (as I did) that Mexicorruption leaders accept dual citizenship but demand that every one of the "invaders" be obligated to and remain totally loyal to Mexico above the U.S.
Bring it, bunghole, bring it.
What people are failing to realize is the fact that Mexico is trying to emulate the conflict in Israel with the palestinkians. They, being Mexico, have been promoting and assisting people to emigrate into southwestern United States for the eventual overthrow of those states to take them back. Some say this nothing but conspiracist propaganda but its happening in front of our eyes like the Islamic invasion into Europe. Mexico is taking their sweet time. Mexico wants the southwestern portion of the United States because they claim it was theirs initially. And like the idiots on the left they are allowing them to do it. While we have had issues with Mexico before, we, the USA, have not always won in those wars. However, due to the dilapidated state Mexico has become, they could no longer very much harm nor could they hold territory for very long should they choose to go to war. That is of course the left doesn’t interfere and give it to them. People in the states would be hurt and even killed initially but once we responded Mexico would not have a chance.
I cant remember who said it maybe it was Thomas Sowell but whoever it was said a war is where both sides are equal almost not when the other side not only outnumbers you but outguns you then it is not a war, but a massacre.
Based on the current readiness/preparedness, operations maintainance (O&M) of all of Armed Services...we are not at full strength by any means.
Questions number five and six: Why on earth are Mexicans so desperate to get rid of their own people? How does a wall that blocks people from ILLEGALLY crossing a border going to hurt them?
The Mexican Air Force has 6 jet fighters. F-5 Freedom Fighters, designed in the 1970’s.

So much art of the deal ... makes Fox stronger ... retakes office ... cuts deal with Trump ... attends Trump 2020 re-inauguration ...
So true.
It would be inconvenient for us if one in ten Mexicans living here illegally took up arms. It would take weeks and lots of people would get hurt.
That’s the only advantage they have right now, is that they have a force within our borders.
The way this world is going, I don’t expect logic or common sense from much of anyone.
In the interim, export Venez apparatchiks to Mexicrap. Let them reap the whirlwind.
And not to mention that we give them 12 billion dollars a year in foreign aid.
I’ll take two of the daughters.
Mexico has some beautiful women of European descent. We have to remember that the Spanish settled in parts of Mexico even before the Europeans settled in the USA.
I’ve seen some very beautiful women in Mexico.
The mexieuros call us racists but they want to force all the “brown people” to come here. The native people are treated like second class citizens.
This is so ‘The Mouse That Roared.’
Maybe that is the idea, as it was in the original book: go to war with the US; lose; receive huge amounts of US aid to rebuild your war shattered country. Or even better have the US annex your country, and presto, you are all American citizens; you don’t even have to leave home to cross the border.
