WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mexican officials will seek to persuade the White House in talks hosted by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday that their government has done enough to stem immigration and avoid looming tariffs. U.S. authorities at the southern border with Mexico have become overwhelmed in recent years by an increase in mostly Central American families and unaccompanied minors seeking asylum to escape violence back home.

Indeed. What little sympathy I had for Mexico evaporated when their soccer fans chanted “Osama” shortly after Sept. 11, 2001. Screw ‘em.

Yes, the only persuasive thing they can do is STOP THE IMMIGRATION AND FLOW OF DRUGS. Anything less than a demonstrable and significant cessation is pointless to talk about. Do it first, and then maybe we’ll talk about it.

Mexico has resisted doing anything for a long time. The clock has run out on their little game. Its their problem to fix now.

And that’s all there really is to say. Further talks, discussion, and negotiations are a pointless waste of time. They can get back to us when they’ve fixed the problem on their end. In the meantime, pay the rising toll.

President Trump should up the anti by making a project from The List and let deplorable Mexico know what’s coming.

President Trump needs to up the ante by proposing implementation of The List.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-DEPORT.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

Armed with these chips to play, Mexico should be no match for President Trump.

That's what I say, Can Trump sign an EO that will put a surcharge on all monies sent out of the country by Western Union. If it's something he can do without congress then he should do it today.

That would pay for the wall big time.

All they have todo is shoot a few of the vermin. One .556 round is very persuasive, especially for those who aren’t hit.

“tax all remittances now!”

YES, or simply cut them off completely! If there is one “incentive” for illegals to come here, is the ability to send untaxed money back home. If you want to get Mexico’s attention, cut off the ability of their alien citizens to send “remittances.”
Remittances are the #1 source of “Income” for the Mexican Government.

The tariffs are going through (senate Republicans be damned). Mexico admitted that 80% of its populated area’s are cartel owned. The cartels are not going to stop illegal immigration, those illegals often times are the ones hauling the dope over the border as part of being escorted by cartel coyotes.

Mexico is a “failed state”; owned by cartels. I would dearly love to know how many U.S. politicians are also on cartel doles.
