No. They are paying for the enforcement in their country. Is that acceptable to you? New trade deal will end up paying for the cost of the wall. I can’t tell if your being dense on purpose or not.

With that trend, the flow should reach zero this month, correct?

All of these Foreign Nationals from these want to come to the USA for Freedom and Liberty. I say we SEND ALL OF THEM BACK with the knowledge of how this Country was CREATED. Maybe they will will wise up, rise up, and Take Over their failed Narco State tyrannical Dictatorships and create their very own Country based on Liberty and Freedom, Or just LIVE WITH TYRANNY!!

ha HA! That’s the first thing that came to my mind too: Mexico is indeed paying for the wall, in more than CASH, and has now become THE WALL. Amazing how Trump predicted this in 2016. Stable genius.

Thanks for explaining this in a short and succinct way:

All of this action by Mexico to aid us has its root in just one area,trade.

The reason Mexico folded so quickly when Trump threatened tariffs is because Mexico violated one of the cardinal rules of business and that is, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. We currently buy 80% of all items Mexico exports and any tariffs would have a huge and immediate impact on Mexico as American importers would quickly find other sources for the goods we import from Mexico which are mainly agricultural.

Losers of a war often try for decades or even a century plus to validate their losses and often white wash what caused the wars they lost.

Losers rewrite history, and winners make history.

[Grampa Dave]

Losers can name their losers with any name they chose.

We still call them losers.

FTA: “We met our commitments and the risk, the threat of imposing tariffs, moved away,” López Obrador said Wednesday.

Bottom Line Up Front.

Mexico meets the US Paywall.

Trump is the consummate businessman who knows how to make a deal and knows where and how to apply pressure to get what he wants. He's put tariffs on Chinese goods that has the Chinese howling and he's twisting their arms so far behind their backs they can pick their own noses. He doing the same to Mexico. Mexico is a corrupted society at every level with everyone out for themselves and money is the goal. Tighten the screws on the money flow and they fall into line. GO TRUMP!!

Trump is, in the world of business a genius and for sure he has no equal in the government. They laughingly claim he doesn’t know what he is doing when the truth is it is they who have no clue what he is doing.

It is simply one more reason why they hate him.

Yep..... Donald Trump has redefined Presidential

[Lurkinanloomin]

It’s about damn time an American President stood up for the citizens of the USA.
Mexico has been dumping their unwanted, both Mexican and pass throughs from the south, on the US from 30 years without consequence.
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama did nothing.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They already have CA, they’re coming close to taking back AZ, NM and TX.

In the hundreds of postings here in Free Republic rarely is this brought up. It’s Known As Reciprocity. We should be treating anybody illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US the way the Mexican’s do Any American illegally .crossing into Mexico. No” free” lawyer paid by Mexican taxpayers. Entry denied heavy fine and possible imprisonment. before getting kicked out.

When allowing the hordes illegally entering the US through the Mexican border avoids recognizing and dealing with the 2nd class treatment that American citizens get which is in their constitition while legally residing in Mexico.That not just includes denial of voting privileges but employment, and land ownership in their name.

Worse yet All when given to illegals and property ownership by them is used in states which Mexico has previously claimed espcially Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and of course California .that could be used to support any reclaiming effort should regime changes in Mexico arise , Our border with Mexico has always been contentious not only with smugglers but on ocassion with Mexican bandits and military.,Allowing potential hostiles to the US property ownership to happen in those states could lead to serious problems in the future.

.It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally and meet US citizenship requirements.

What never gets mentioned is that 2nd class treatment Americans get in Mexico in all of this. If we applied that reciprocal policy . Would that continue ? By.prohibiting and strictly enforcing existing laws prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges fully enforced these problems would drop loke a rock. .In other words Once we remove the incentives to Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning this stuff would stop.

Mexico is paying to do this so they don’t have to pay for not doing it....
