"Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages"
What are they going to do, cut off the flow of reprobates and people willing to undercut American's wages?
I suspect the real reason a lot of these Mexican (and, for that matter, some American) politicians are getting worked up is that the wall would mean an end to the easy way of getting drugs from South America up into the United States.
I would have to imagine that a vast majority of the Mexican political types in areas where people migrate from South America and Central American to the USA benefit financially from drug trafficking. If it isn’t easy to move crap into the United States, they aren’t going to get those healthy, cash kickbacks for looking the other way. A big wall makes it a bit difficult to get their crap into the country.
What are you going to do, sue us for breach of gullibility at the Hague?
Too bad!
Simple question, Mexico. How many pissing contests have you seen anyone win against Trump?
So here’s the suggestion. You want to change the tone, then do so. Don’t talk about how you’ll enable illegal activities; that’s supposed to be a secret.
Just some quiet advice. It was free, feel free to ignore it. In fact, I really hope you do, and you ratchet it up even higher as we go along in this campaign season. That will get MILLIONS of voters excited and out there on election day - guess what, not one of them will be voting for HIllary.
They can just pay for the fence and hope that it is finished ahead of schedule to avoid penalties.
What are they going to do?
Fuchers have already invaded.
There were 265 comments at the LAT site when I read this story earlier.
About 9-1 in favor of stopping the remittances, telling Mexico to F off and building the wall.
Trump is going to win in a landslide.
don’t block them, tax them
What, they’re going to withhold illegal aliens, maybe illegal drugs transfers? What? What does that corrupt turd-world nation have that we need??
What are they going to do about it, invade our country? Oh, wait...
What will they do? Stop sending us illiterate halfwits?
WTF They gonna Repercuss with?
I am tired of Countries Threatening my Country, I say we surrender ... Ship Obama to them on an ICE COLD SLAB
Dead as a Freaking Door Nail, just as they want.
They want Moochell they gonna have to pay extra freight
But NOT ONE AMERICAN (They can have some other posers if they like... we have a special on Fluffy the extra Chakra Algore)
If you nibble past that mountain of sustainability of algore, underneath you find a Ryan, a very active skinny Ryan, Trying hard to conceal his age and lack of Experience in anything that wasn’t handed to him or he hadn’t complained about ... yet and then of course there is Off the Record Complaints... being the bottom of a shoe, Ryan may actually wear for me, Think I need to walk more.
Mexico is seeing the light and starting to squirm like a worm on a hook - GO TRUMP!!!!
Mexico is getting a little too bold lately.
We should just screw the wall and place Mexico under martial law, since they obviously are not adhering to the conditions of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. We should declare the treaty null and void, take back Mexico and replace their government with a US Military Governor.

Oh no! “Repercussions”! Whatever will we do...?!
Let’s play chicken! How about rather than taxing remittances to Mexico, we cut them off entirely and suspend the repatriation of funds to the US?
WHy are they worried? I mean the Cruz folks here during the heat of battle said that couldn’t be done!-)
Build a moat.
With sharks.
