If the Mexicans send the caravan migrants back south, and that's a big ‘’if’’ it'll just leave Mexicans in the same place they've been in for decades. And that is violating our border and our sovereignty night and day. The reason the Mexicans are pissed off is because they feel that since they share a border with us that they have first dibs on getting in here.

Mexico pulls $28 billion a year out of our economy and sends it back to Mexico. Its the only thing keeping them afloat. It used to be PEMEX, Mexico's nationalized oil industry that was the number one source of income but remittances have surpassed that. Mexico doesn't want anyone cutting into that because even a small dent in that will have serious consequences for the Mexican economy. The fact of the matter is Mexico is so dependent on that money if the border was to be shut down for any substantial amount of time Mexico's economy would collapse , leading to a tsunami of people pouring out of Mexico into here. I'm sure every American president in the last thirty years has been warned of what would happen if this situation were ever to come about. As long as Mexicans can keep getting their people in here and they keep sending back the money there is a ‘’release valve’’ on what could be a humanitarian crisis unlike anything seen in this hemisphere before. Another reason why I hate Mexicans.

He knows the same thing is going to happen, or NOT happen, whether he agrees or not. Looks like they didn’t get the expected flood of money and goodies from the foreign community, so best to agree and get in line for some US Gubmint Freebies, for resistance would mean NOTHING for Mexico.
