Former Mexican presidents Fox and Calderón take aim at Trump and his 'stupid wall'

Two former Mexican presidents said in separate interviews with The Washington Post that the xenophobic rhetoric of Donald Trump and the other Republicans running for president has damaged U.S.-Mexico relations and changed the way many Mexicans view Americans.

Noting Trump’s recent disagreement with Pope Francis over the proposed border wall, Fox said, “I think the Republican Party should demand from him respect, not only for the Mexicans but for the pope and for Muslims. The Republican Party has let this go too far. It’s ridiculous.”

Fox said he had been speaking with Republicans in the United States.

"They are telling me, 'That is not us, it is him. We are ashamed, '" he said. "I tell them, 'Open your eyes, please. Listen to what he is saying.' This is a very shameful situation for the United States as a nation and for the Republican Party."

This gives even more credence to Trump.

Trump should name the drainage ditch along the wall the Calderon Sewer, and the hole where water flows underneath the Fox Hole.

“we should let Mexicans decide who should be our President. (/sarc., in case it wasn’t obvious already)

If an American goes to Mexico and speaks out regarding who should be the next leader of Mexico, he will be ARRESTED, JAILED and DEPORTED, IMMEDIATELY!
Seems to be a bit of a double standard going on here! /s;)

Trump needs to film campaign ads of him at the Guatemala/Mexico border.

Trump this, Trump that. Trump ain’t going to do squat without Congress .

They got a big wall on their southern border.

Wàaaaaaaahhhhhh.

“and changed the way many Mexicans view Americans.”

I don’t care how they view us as long as the view is from their side of the border.

What’s xenophobic about it?
I’m Hispanic, and I support legal immigration but I am against illegal immigration.

I don’t want Zetas or some other group bringing drugs and decapitating people.
Also, what about the human cost of those conned into paying thousands of dollars to be taken over the border? All the young women taken advantage of and raped or trafficked as sex slaves by the coyotes?
We need to stop that.

Make a wall, make huge malls right on the entrances, heck the whole border could take off economically, and allow legal immigration

Not surprising because I saw a video of Former Mexico President Carlos Salinas Gortari being entertained at a Texas ranch by George H. W. Bush (Daddy). The Salinas had transfer a large amount of wealth out of Mexico. Carlos is now residing in Ireland.

So it is not surprising the NWO Establishment are all gathering like birds of a feather.

I can envision scenarioes under which Fox and Calderon would beg Pres. Trump to be allowed to pay for the wall in exchange for...

Well stated....+1

[Mike Darancette]

Mexico lets millions use their border to illegally enter the USA it is a business. We are putting them out of business. They should look at this as a cost of doing business.

[curdogmen]

how about rotating troops on the border to simulate war times conditions a Division at a time or special training center for spec ops..like that is going on in South Korea to go along with your hundreds of drones I would call that a fence too

[eyedigress]

Good. Maybe Americans can decide who owns our border once and for all.

[aquila48]

You can bet your last cent on it. And not just a wall but armed guards.

[DoughtyOne]

The should, unless they have bought off their underworld.
