The world is reacting to the border wall--a thing most states have erected in varying forms throughout history for the collecton of duties, the protection of its citizens --like it's the greatest threat to international peace ever conceived.
Gives you some idea of the size and scope of the criminal activity that depends on the United States having ZERO control over its southern border.

The movie Sicario (2015) keeps coming to mind this week.

So, Carlos Slim supported Hillary Clinton.
Why is a foreigner supporting ANY American presidential candidate?
Oh, I forgot.....it’s the Clintons were talking about here. Never mind.

It’s hard to watch Sicario and eat lunch at the same time. Just giving you a heads-up. Educational to watch all the way through.

Why isn’t Slim using his knowledge and billions to help the forgotten people of Mexico like Trump is doing for America?

It’s probably the best “recent” movie that I’ve seen. Excellent plot and ending.

I hope he threatens to close down and run the NY Times out of Mexico.
That will teach us a lesson!

Uh, I thought Trump announced the wall like 18 months ago, not 2 days ago. I guess the MSM just assumes that everyone lies as much as them, so what was said last week is unimportant.
