Former Mexican presidents Fox and Calderón take aim at Trump and his 'stupid wall'
Washington Post ^ | Feb. 25, 2016 | By Kevin Sullivan and Mary Jordan

Posted on 02/25/2016 7:36:30 PM PST by Innovative

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."

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

There’s more than.one way to make Mexico pay for the wall than sitting around waiting for a check or a Western Union
Moneygram from Mexico.

Dear Mexican Presidents,

If we want an opinion from the leaders of corrupt, mis-managed, pathetic dung heap, we’ll let you know.

P.S. You folks better prepare for absolute economic apocalypse because when Trump sends all your welfare queens and criminals back to you for you to care for Mexico is going to completely fall apart.

Have A Nice Day,

The American Tax-Payer

in the future there could just be hundreds of drones coveing a “no go zone” and taking out any target in there.

maybe a laser that stuns the person ;)

how deep would this wall have to be to avoid going under it.

they’re doing it too often in Israel.

“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.”

We are not ashamed at all, and you obviously haven’t talked with any republicans.

I heard (may just be a good story), that Trump's response was a smile and "And how we are going to build it higher."

The idiots airing these diatribes are giving the best promotion for Trumps plans as could be had.

Simply amazing that the could be so ignorant and out of touch how such efforts will be viewed by the VAST majority of American voters.

Hehehe...keep it up.

If you charge them as accomplices to the illegal immigrant murder, and send in troops to grab them, they may wake up to what they are doing to us. I think they may be emptying their prisons on us just like Cuba did.

If this maggot and the maggots who followed him would have taken better care of the Mexican people and had provided them with opportunities, we wouldn’t need a wall. Unfortunately, cow pies like this moron drove the population out of Mehico and into the “evil, racist” United States seeking “a better life”. Mehico must be pretty bad for them to want to risk their lives to seek refuge in the U.S. Many border jumpers died trying to sneak in. KMA Calderon.

We should just adopt Mehico’s immigration laws. What could be fairer than that?
