By stopping the flow of cheap labor.

Your Governor is a Bush League Republican working for the Cheap Labor Express.

Mexico isn’t a country it Crime Inc. President Andrés Manuel López Obrado has been sampled to much of his export products.
He just showed his fear of losing a lot of businesses in Mexico that country has a value of near 0.

That is correct, the illegal alien inundation has been facilitated by making the laws almost impossible to enforce and incentivizing the illegal aliens with promises of amnesty and benefits.

We have to replace Bush League Republicans while we still have a country.

I have never been crazy about him and I always thought of him as a RINO but never a true conservative.

“Sticks & Stones” may break my bones...but, words will never harm me!!! Actions count...and I take note that this Mexican Leader has already sent an envoy to beg POTUS, Trump to go easy. Case closed.

He’s talking bluster now, to impress his Central American drug cartel leaders.

Seems, there was candidate for El Presidente a while back that was shot on Natl TV by MS-13 because he wanted to go after the cartels.

Old habits and perceptions die hard. Most Mexicans still think of their historic leaders from Spain when voting for the top office. Many Mexicans remain very opinionated on what the ideal person is supposed to look like.

Similar to some American Blacks, who separate people into social classes, based on how close they are to looking white. Not as openly as it used to be, but that custom still exists.
“Good hair”, meaning soft and curly or straight, vs kinky.
“A pretty complexion”, meaning light skin with subdued (European) features.

East Indians had an entire Caste System of social class based on these same physical features. If you look a certain way, you only get offered certain jobs. Darker skinned people got offered only the dirtiest jobs nobody else wanted.

People, please observe and relish a POTUS that is willing to use the full spectrum of American power to pursue American interests.

We haven’t seen that in our lifetimes.

López Obrador also announced he was sending his foreign minister to Washington, D.C., on Friday to negotiate with U.S. officials ahead of a June 10 deadline set by Trump.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Why is this guy coming here? Trump had better not back down on this just because they make more empty promises. Trump should tell this guy to stay home and fix the problem or the tariff goes into effect. If he doesn’t he loses credibility. We need this problem stopped. And the longer it goes, the more votes Trump loses by in action.

He must think Congressional Republicans will bail him out. “

You think they won’t?

Also, you really think Trump will follow through?

Why are Mexican politicos uniformly light skinned ?

For the same reason White Latin America are largely chosen in ; Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.
