Following president Donald Trump's threats to hit Mexico with tariff hikes if the country fails to stem the flood of illegal immigrants, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador responded by saying they could be "prepared to reach out the deal." White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney reaffirmed that Trump is "deadly serious" about levying a 5% tariff on Mexican goods if the Mexican government if they don't step up enforcement on the southern side of the border,

Eight centuries of muslim conquest left its mark on spanish culture making them similarly trustworthy. I’ll believe it when the packed Greyhounds are going south.

[Windflier]

He’s lying. The cartels have ordered him to stall as long as possible.

Stall? For what possible reason?

[rigelkentaurus]

He’s lying and will not do anything tangible to stop illegals regardless of anything he may say in public or private or in an agreement.

We will see. The Mexican President is saying the right words. Let us see if he takes the right actions.

Old saying: when they have you by the short and curlies, it’s amazing how fast the mind and heart soon follow.

See tagline ...

[translation: Grab them by the balls
And their hearts and minds will follow.]

Screw Mexico.

Tariff Mexico at 100%.

Let the United States build their own automobules.

[aquila48]

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador responded by saying they could be "prepared to reach out the deal."

"Preparing to reach out" means nothing at this point. Not ready to put this in Trump's win column.

[SuperLuminal]

Yeah!... Sure!...

[SaxxonWoods]

Have to deal with him, trust or not.

[know.your.why]

Talk is sheep. :P

[dougherty]

You’re right, he will do absolutely nothing to stem the flow. Trump has asked Mexico for two years to do something and they haven’t done a damn thing but help even more third world parasites storm our border. Mexico is an enemy, not a friend. Their word means diddly squat.

[Windflier]

Have to deal with him, trust or not.

It's more of a case of him having to deal with Trump.

As long as the President demands proof of compliance and sees an actual reduction in crossings before relaxing any part of the tariff timetable, it'll be alright.

The border is wide open and the cartels are running at 120% production. The US is being flooded with drugs.

The border is wide open and the cartels are running at 120% production. The US is being flooded with drugs.

And millions of illegals...

[caww]

Following the Border Patrol Agents on twitter is revealing as they show just some of the drugs they’ve stopped.....it’s terrible our Agents have to be spending their time running the illegals to medical facilities etc.

[spudville]

I guess whoever is the supplier of the 70% will benefit greatly.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Raise the tariff to 10%, close the border and build the wall.
