As for Trump's statements, AMLO said: With all due respect, although you have the right to express it, 'America First' is a fallacy because until the end of times, even beyond national borders, justice and universal fraternity will prevail."More like "universal free stuff for my people, funded by American taxpayers, will prevail"

The story missed the full title of Mexico’s socialist scumbag leader: “President Andrés Manuel López Obrador Pinche Puta Pendejo”

For 30 years BOTH parties have been looking the other way as Mexico and every nation south of them has ignored our laws and borders.
Democrats and Bush League Republicans have made it their life’s work to turn the USA into North Mexico.

And every time they whine about it, raise it another 10%.
When it reaches 100% - well, golly, we’ll just have to live without all that fine stuff we get from Mexico and maybe bring some of our industry back to our own country - you know, as in “America first.”

No, AMLO! Your belief that you can keep dumping 3rd world illegals into the US without any consequence is the real fallacy. You don’t get to tell us what our priorities should be, so you can just shut it.
He’s talking bluster now, to impress his fellow Mexicans.
He is banking on the risk that Trump will not follow through.

Our AZ Governor said this will devastate our state economy. How? I haven’t seen an explanation...yet.

AmLo is posturing for his domestic audience and trying to comfort talk his way out of a serious bind. AmLo has botched the problem by thinking that the old rules and norms apply.

They have done more than look the other way, they have enabled and codified the whole mess. Flores, catch & release, sanctuary areas, no wall, drivers licenses, public housing and other benefits. Stop the madnesses.

The president of Mexico says he wants to avoid a confrontation with the United States, but had harsh words about President Donald Trump's plan to impose tariffs on Mexican goods to pressure the nation to stem the flow of Central American migrants. He can bitch all he wants.

Foreign minister heading here with knee pads, a little sharp stick in a written statement is hardly worth notice.
Of course, that 5% tariff on oil is going to come out of the Mexican government’s share, not US consumers - that’s a huge chunk of change and will have immediate impact on Mexico’s budget.
If it climbed to 25% that would negate all of Mexico’s oil revenues. Money that they spend to buy votes... Mexico will simply stem the tide of transients entering their country as when faced with billions in losses, they’ll turn on their southern neighbors rather than face the issue at home.
