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,

No...I want the tariffs to go to 50%! Then we go take out the Cartels with extreme prejudice!

[SanchoP]

.....it’s terrible our Agents have to be spending their time running the illegals to medical facilities etc.

It's a strategically planned invasion. The cartels built their own distribution networks under Obama's DREAM fiasco and now they're running at 120% because they can't figure out how to bribe a billionaire.

Not as far as you can throw him

Fortunately this is an easy one to gauge - there’s either floods of human beings trying to cross our border there isn’t

[Its All Over Except ...]

Why won’t Dems in Congress in D.C. let people who scale their walls enclosing their homes (and then cross their yards and then break into their homes) take an extra bed n their house for at least a week or two before verifiying who they are?

[GOPJ]

The deal is simple. Stop the flood of immigration. Close your southern border. Quit assisting migrants to cross your country to reach our borders. When that is done we will begin negotiation but meanwhile the tariffs go into effect.

Amen ...

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.

He didn't even say they actually are 'preparing to reach out'. He said they could be preparing to reach out - eventually, down the road, some day.

Yeah! SHOW ME, too...and I’m from Pennsylvania.

[Tucker39]

The version I heard was, If you have a man by the b@**$, his heart and mind will follow you anywhere. I hope that actually IS Trump’s hold on whutzizname Obrador.

[Night Hides Not]

The lesson I learned from Bill Clinton was to parse every word a politician says...lol.

Must be a site based on clickbait.

[mumblypeg]

Who cares? Let’s talk about Trump’s weird hair.

ICE reported citizens of some 130 countries are jumping the Mexican border.

How much is Mexico collecting to allow this?

116 Congolese were just apprehended by ICE.....where do these people get the thousands of dollars for food and transportation to get to the border?

Its likely govt's are paying the freight b/c they cash in bigtime from remittances of the gravy train tax dollars.

[hawkaw]

I love your post. “Show me”.

[ETCM]

Don't take the clickbait. The author of this "journalism" is just repackaging yesterday's news and making a piss poor attempt to reinterpret Obrador's statement.

“The main thing is to inform about what we’re already doing on the migration issue, and if it’s necessary to reinforce these measures without violating human rights, we could be prepared to reach that deal,”

Obrador has offered nothing other than "more of the same".

[TheNext]

The Mexican American War of 2016 says Dictator Obrador is a liar.

100% Tariffs will bring back American jobs.

The people do not need Mexico.

The Congress needs Mexico.

[fedupjohn]

TRUST BUT VERIFY

[justa-hairyape]

I believe in the end, all humans will be judged by their actions, not their beliefs.

Oh...wait a minute. Lol.

I also believe our beliefs determine our actions.

[COBOL2Java]

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.

Yeah! And Trump did this with the FULL backing of the Washington politicians!

Oh, wait...

[Let's Roll]

Yeah, wasn’t it just yesterday that the Mexican pres was insisting that people had a “right” to invade the US?

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

He NEEDS to just close the DAMN BORDER!!! Let everyone scream I can live with higher prices to save the NON diversity of the country!!! Produce and auto are the biggest imports from Mexico are the American patriots willing to pay higher prices for produce to save their damn country, WHY in the hell cant we grow our own produce??? Where I live in CA. was NOTHING but farm fields 30 years ago, NOW it is nothing but houses and condos OVER PRICED ones at that!!! In central CA. they have shut their water down for farmers because of some stupid little fricken little fish!!! The damn government has MADE IT impossible for us to do without importing EVERYTHING we can do ourselves!!!

[Lean-Right]
