Turns out the Mexican government isn't so keen on Donald Trump's assertion that he will make Mexico pay for a wall along America's southern border.

"Of course it's false," a spokesman for Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said of Trump's claim in a Bloomberg interview published Wednesday. "It reflects an enormous ignorance for what Mexico represents, and also the After firestorm over his comments about illegal immigrants, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump travels to the U.S.-Mexico border. CBS News C... Trump, a billionaire businessman who's seeking the Republican presidential nomination, has said repeatedly that the U.S. must build a wall to keep illegal immigrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

But America won't pay for this wall, according to Trump -Mexico will.

"We're gonna get the wall built...and Mexico's gonna pay for the wall," Trump said Tuesday at a news conference. "And they're gonna be happy about it...because the cost of the wall is peanuts compared to the kind of money they're making. Mexico is becoming the new China."

Trump, who holds a big lead in early polls of the Republican primary field, has made immigration one of the chief focuses of his campaign, inciting controversy with his inflammatory remarks on the subject.

I’ll answer it for him.

“Cut their foreign aid to ZERO for as long as it takes to pay for it.”

US foreign aid to Mexico was $971.3 million in 2014. You can buy a lot of fence for $1B per year.

You’ll pay for it, a$$hole - or we might just decide to wipe a few of your pathetic sh*thole cities off the map. And what the hell you going to do about, turd?

IOW, the government of Mexitrash has been committing acts of subversion and war against the U.S. - w/o us firing a shot. I think it is time we invade Mexitrash - so to “take out” the trash, with “extreme prejudice.” Hey, El Presidente - I’ll wager you’re neither bullet proof nor immortal ... Let’s put it to the test, shall we? I’ll bet our Marines are better shots than your government-funded drug lords.

1. Build it on our side.

2. Run pipes into the Rio Grande.

3. Pump out the water to your heart’s content.

4. Nobody with a brain give a royal FK about some dumb ass EPA study - and if Trump gets in, kiss the EPA and all their tree worshiping environ-twits goodbye.

5. Invade Mexico anyway - because they deserve it.

Legitimate answers.

And those vehicles having “contraband” would be loaded onto a giant magrail catapult, including the “occupants,” and fired off back into Mexitrash at about 500 MPH. We could make a gameshow of it - sell tickets to “push the button” ... And we’d make enough money to pay for the wall. Problem solved - that was easy.

Everyone eventually runs out of gas waiting in the 30 mile long lines. It would be grid lock. It might also be required to conduct vehicle safety inspections on all vehicles, along with searches.

And again, this is all to ensure everyones safety and security.☺

But what about his magic deal making powers? What next, ISIS won’t be defeated through Trump’s deal making powers either? Russia won’t continue to invade its old client states in Eastern Europe? Iran will continue to work on nuclear weapons? Trump has assured us that none of this will happen due to his deal making powers.

RE: "the government of Mexitrash has been committing acts of subversion and war against the U.S. . . . ."

Right.

Arturo Sarukhan, a top official in Mexico[rruption]'s foreign ministry [among other Mexicorruption ruling class], said [vis-a-vis their tactics]:"How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."

All the policy objectives Trump has presented are very conservative AND he is far ahead of all the others in support. That is a winning conservative front. Cruz is conservative and agrees with Trump on those policy objectives.. Walker is not conservative, he is on the GOPe leash.

And in before the TDS sufferers.

I would say you weren't, since anyone who disagrees with Trump would be called a TDS Sufferer. Look at post number 4.

Naaah. TDS is a specific pathology. An obsession. Mere opposition to DT doesn’t merit the title. There are about 8- 10 on FR right now.
