Back to Videos Former Mexican President Vicente Fox to Trump: We're "Not Paying For That F***ing Wall" 310 Shares By Tim Hains Posted on February 25, 2016
In an interview Thursday with Jorge Ramos on Fusion, former Mexican president Vicente Fox responds to Donald Trump's plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.
"I’m not going to pay for that fucking wall! He should pay for it. He’s got the money," Fox said.
"Are you afraid that he’s going to be the next President of the United States?" Ramos asked. "What would that mean for Mexico?â€
"No no no, democracy can not take that, crazy people that don't know what is going on in the world today. This worries me, the last caucus in Nevada... he won 44 percent of Hispanics."

A simple tax on All funds sent to Mexico should do it.
That’s like me saying I’m not paying those f#(king taxes!!!
yep, 20 BILLION is wired back to Mexico every year.
10% tax on that, and the wall is paid for.
Heck, just for kicks you could make the captured illegals built it and then put them on the other side when it’s done!
Vincente Fox is a crook and a liar, but he’s correct.
All the US government can realistically do is impose taxes or levies on trade with Mexico, and that will never pass.
We are not a democracy, you burrito-eating dufus!
Make it 50% and we gotta deal!
The Mexican government and the citizens of Mexico will pay for that wall, whether they buy it or not.
Mexico may suddenly find they have a HUGE deficit in their balance of payments, without that vast influx of cash being sent home every month to subsidize the peasantry now living on small freeholds all over Mexico. And why do those peasants find themselves on small freeholds? It is because of the land ownership laws in Mexico, which leaves HUGE land grants in the hands of just a few families, dating back to the days of Spain’s colonization of much of what is today Latin America, and the way land title is held there.
These ancestral land grants allows the titular head of the family to bestow a life estate to the head of the peasant household, but the title reverts to the titular head upon the death of the person upon whom the life estate was bestowed. Mexicans being Mexicans, with sometimes very scrambled or casual record keeping, the actual occupancy of the land may go for several generations, but most of these occupants are essentially squatters, subject to be kicked off the land at a moment’s notice.
The Mexican government may have to reform their land grant program to make it possible for these peasants to take and hold a title to the land they occupy as a heritable estate, and allow the title holder to sell, lease or donate the title as they choose. The right to “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness”, as enumerated in the US Declaration of Independence, under “pursuit of happiness”, relates to ownership of property, in this instance to the bundle of rights that is included in holding title to real estate.

Well isn't that interesting! 44% of Hispanics in Nevada say they will vote for Trump after he has said he will build a wall and stop the handouts to illegals.
I know many immigrants who have come to this country who work hard and take every opportunity to say how appreciative they are to be in a country that even gives them the opportunity to succeed in life. It'll be nice if we could get back to where that becomes the stereotype of immigrants instead of what it currently is.
No I figure the Democrats already have those locked up. I'm referring to legal voters of Hispanic descent who will be impacted financially by how Trump plans to finance his wall.
Trump living rent free in yet another politician’s mind.
Dear Vicente:
There are many ways to make ya’ll pay for the wall.
Think about it.

He needs Congress, and I don’t believe the Senate would go along with it.
No, but your citizens living here illegally will be. Tax remittances going to Mexico and build the wall.
Damn people this is Free republic or it was at one time.
People siding with Vicente Fox about not building the wall and Hillary gonna mop the floor with Trump.
What is with this defeatist mindset sounds like DU lately on here.
Furthermore, we build the wall on our land on our side of the border, whatshisface can whistle up a pipe. Then he can keep his products on his side of the border, as well as the illegals.
I have been tough on Orange Gumby but I admit I LOVE this video. Two racists discussing the supposed racist hand that feeds them. Gotta love it
I agree. Trump has yet to provide an explanation how Mexico will be forced to pay for the wall. Probably because he doesn’t know himself.
Whoo! Wait a minute. A world leader using “Potty Mouth” words. On a World Stage no less. Where is my fainting couch?
I sincerly dont want my Little Donald anywhere near these people so as to corrupt him. As we know American Leaders must be pure, clean, Stupid, spineless, sellouts, guilt ridden. Its times like these a Good Man rises to the top. Ladies and Gemtlemen. I say we all put our differences aside and vote for .....John Kasich. “ He can deliver the Goods”. Kasich! Kasick! Kasick!
Go Trump
The Wall just got a little Higher I thinkin.....;)
