If you live in a city anywhere near the Mexico-USA border, you will note that Mexico has for a very long time chosen to fly the largest flag possible on their territory. A sort of ‘Mexico First’ policy. Is the Mexican presidente saying he does not put Mexico First as part of his official policies? Why should President Donald Trump not put America first. That’s his job.

Mexico will pay for the wall. Or perhaps in reverse fashion.

He must think Congressional Republicans will bail him out.

That’s a safe assumption to make, given their abysmal history of supporting their cheap labor masters.

All of the Butt-hurt Butt Wipes don’t understand “America First” means POTUS Trump is putting American interests ahead of foreign interests within our own borders. NOT America First on the world stage. Did I express that correctly?

Because Mexicans are extremely racist and bigoted towards one another. The light skinned Castilian Spaniards have always ruled Mexico.

The real tax payers and those who believe in America are with you.

For far too many years, now the entire Mexican Social Welfare system has consisted of an arrow pointing North. Sick of it!

Look here leftist moron running a Narco republic!

The Central Americans have to traverse over 1000 miles through your country

Therefore you were letting all this happen with a wink and a nod and we know it you know it and everybody else knows it

Just because we have traders in our government that don’t want to change the asylum laws so that we can end this problem internally doesn’t mean that we’re not going to take it on an X ternal he had on and take on your narco Republic gang based scumbag child raping smuggling sexual abusing coyote culture

This from the guy who’s on record as saying he wants 5th and 6th generation Mexicans living in the US to always think “Mexico first.”

This isn’t “America First”. We have a terrible problem at our border with Mexico. A major part of the solution needs to happen on the Mexico side.
