2nd former Mexican president unloads on Donald Trump (Calderon, who built the Guatemala wall)
Associated Press ^ | Feb 27, 2016 10:02 PM EST

Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Saturday joined his predecessor in office in unloading on Donald Trump, calling the Republican front-runner's campaign racist and saying his discourse on immigration is fueling anti-American sentiment around the world.

Calderon, a conservative who was president of Mexico from 2006 to 2012, even said he thought Trump was trying to exploit the same social feelings and resentments as did Adolf Hitler.

"I think his logic of exalting white supremacy isn't even acting against immigration - Donald Trump is the descendant of migrants - it is acting and speaking against immigrants who have a different skin color than him, which is frankly racist and is a bit like the exploitation of raw nerves that Hitler did in his day," Calderon told reporters after a meeting of the National Action Party, or PAN, in Mexico City. ...

You mean the same Republicans who agree with the Democrats and work in a “bipartisan” manner?

Yes, Mexico has severe laws. We have laws but a president who won’t allow them to be obeyed. I want to see obama and hillery behind bars.

I figured out a way we can get Mexico to pay for the border wall.

Once in office, the new President could ask Congress to pass a law slapping a 15% tax on all money transfers that leave the United States. Such remittances make up one of Mexico’s biggest sources of income, or so I hear, to the tune of billions of dollars per year.

The President could use the legitimate argument that those remittances drain money permanently from the U.S. economy.

LOLOL...I see BUSH all over this and Fox...both of them are buddies with the Bush family....

Mexico knows they are finished dealing their crap on us, and we will be sending back their ‘trash’ they deposited here for us to take care of....and they don't like it....

Ever read how they guard the border of Mexico and Venezuela? You should research it, they don't let anyone in and if you sneak in, your either shot on site, or you in prison...

To bad Mexico, we are going to have a new sheriff in town and he isn't going to put up with the crap that we have taken for so many years...

I agree. This is just going to boost Trump’s poll numbers.

"I think his logic of exalting white supremacy

protecting our borders from drugs, drunks and thieving gangs is a sign of 'white supremacy', eh? But "the Race" is just hunkey dorey? Calderon can kiss my lily white grits, the race-baiting little snit. America is one of the very few Anglo-Saxon majority countries left in the world and we have a right to protect our borders, our economy and our citizens. Not to mention we've financially supported more of his citizens on an ongoing basis than his own government has. Deal with it, Calderon.

Run the table, Trump!

I love all these endorsements of The Donald. Sharpton’s was the best, and got me to change my vote to Trump.

I recall Goldman Sachs’ fingerprints all over that Mexican bailout.

I loathe Goldman Sachs, regardless.

I went with 15% instead of a 40% tax on money sent out of the country because there might be some impact on business transfers. Congress has to decide who, where and how much, of course.

They’ve sent their Indian population to live on the American taxpayers’ teats while remitting funds south across the border; a recent news piece said Mexico gets more money from remittances than from oil.

It is a welfare satellite state of the US, nothing more; these former presidents are no different than our ghetto gibsmedats demanding more with their outstretched palms...

I do not know why the Mexicans should be doing this. Trump said he will be allowing illeagals round trip tickets back.

Michelle Malkin once wrote a piece about how Mexico treats illegal immigrants. Why is so much hypocrisy ignored? Mexico has a horrendous record of abuse and oppression of non-nationals.
