“Trump should make Mexico pay for every Illegal that crosses the Border”

I thought Trump said he would cancel aid to countries that allowed illegal immigrants to cross the US border. He should also prevent any border crossings at all until they do their part to stop the illegals.

When I was in Mexico my host pointed out a comic book in a store near the border. It was a free survival guide on how to cross the border, what to take, how to do it and what to say when you were picked up. It was a government publication.

As my host said, virtually half of the Mexican economy was funded off jobs in the United States. He said, “when the US catches the sniffles, Mexico gets the flu.” Meaning, the US economy has an outsized influence on Mexico. If the US stopped all border crossings and taxed remittances until Mexico cooperated in stopping border crossings, they would either do it or there would be a revolution.

Not surprised. Mexico is a dysfunctional nation.
