After call with Trump turns testy, Mexico’s president scraps plan to visit White House
Washington Compost ^ | 2/25/2018 | Rucker, Partlow, Miroff

Tentative plans for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to make his first visit to the White House to meet with President Trump were scuttled this week after a testy call between the two leaders ended in an impasse over Trump’s promised border wall, according to U.S. and Mexican officials. Peña Nieto was eyeing an official trip to Washington this month or in early March, but called off the plan after Trump would not agree to publicly affirm Mexico’s position that it would not fund construction of a border wall that the Mexican people widely consider offensive, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a confidential conversation.

Speaking by phone on Feb. 20, Peña Nieto and Trump devoted a considerable portion of their roughly 50-minute conversation to the wall, and neither man would compromise his position.

Nonsense. 26 billion in remittances to Mexico just last year.

Slap a fee of x percentage on it.

I don’t believe a word of this.

“Testa”?

My guess is this beaner tried to roll PDJT and got his chalupas crushed and handed back to him.

Not a problem.

If President Trump wants a discussion with a Mexican, he can always talk to the cleaning lady.

Do we really care if Mexico’s President, Pena Nieto comes here, really? Not me! If I read Trump right (so far he has not failed to honor his word), Mexico WILL pay a good portion of that wall be it directly or indirectly, Trump will find a way.

Do that and how long do you think it will it take before dozens of companies are flooding the airwaves offering to route those remittances through a third party country?

So uh...when do the tanks roll?

We can take Los Angeles in a matter of hours. Plant an American flag on City Hall and arrest Garcetti and Villaraigosa for Treason.

Just this point:

NOT the Mehhiccans in MEHHICCO paying for the wall.

It’s all the MILLIONS of Mehhiccans residing in the USA and shipping their $$$$$ “home” that will pay for the wall.

Oh, please. mexico will pay for the wall...just indirectly. Merely kicking out the illegal alien invaders will pay for the wall in money saved on free eduucation for their spawn, welfare, prison costs and other “freebies” to these invading cretins paid for by the US taxpayer.

All money sent by American Citizens who show their passport won’t be taxed. How about that?

Trace and tax those then

You act like there’s no way to curtail remittances there. Any rerouting will reduce the bottom line that Shithole country.

And those “ third parties” can be made illegal as money launderers
