Can I freely buy property in Mexico? No... not in prime locations. Others have tried only to have their property confiscated by the Mexican government.

A tax on remittances. The Mexicans will pay for it that way. If I recall Trump's plan talks about impounding the money transfers and not seizing them. Unless he's taking the money then that won't help pay for the wall.

If Mexico is already squealing and whining about Trump’s immigration proposals, that tells me all I need to know.
TRUMP IS RIGHT!
If Mexico is against it, I’m FOR it!

Time to send Col. Allen West as the head of a punitive expeditionary force into Mexico to kick some thieving, elitist Mexican butt. I’ll volunteer to lead a squad of riflemen.
Here’s a preview of what to expect, you Mexican elitist freaks:

Why should we care what any Mexican official thinks. Screw ‘em. It means Trump is right over the target and they don’t like it.

Does Mexico allow birth citizenship? Does Mexico allow illegals to stay? If Mexico answers no to either of those question — STFU, Mexico!

Can we compare Mexican immigration laws versus US immigration law? So what does Mexico do on their Southern border?. I think Mexico here is fibbing...
