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.

Exactly, there are many ways to make Mexico pay without Mexico’s cooperation.
Mexico obviously benefits to the tune of many billions by 25% of its population living here illegally. Want em back Mexico?
There are lots of ways. BTW SeeBS is the worst propaganda network, and that’s saying a lot.
They will sound different when he’s in charge and their corrupt little party comes to a crashing end.
Ding.. Ding.. we have a winner!
Most folks keep posing the question without even taking into consideration that the man who wrote "The Art of the Deal" might just know how to leverage ANY business situation.
Nieto is admitting Mexico is such a dysfunctional dump that the only option to improve your lot in Mexico is to leave.
Are you talking about money paid to Mexico directly by the US government, such as foreign aid? In that case, a president probably could take action on his own.
The White Mexican Elite realizes it’s the thing that avoids having their heads being put on pikes.
This should be good. Let’s start with shredding NAFTA and see if the mexican government has a sudden change of heart.
And in before the TDS sufferers.
Would not be a hard thing to get Mehico to pay for the wall one way or another.
Hell....lefty nut job, the late great Mayor Koch (not Coke) wanted to pull all the troops outta Iraq (way back when he was alive and Bush was prez). Heck ....troops along the border to prevent a foreign invasion????WOW! What a concept!
My response would be:
All illegals that are caught will be put to work on a wall for a period of two years each. Upon completion of their two years they will be deported. Repeat offenders will get double the time.
I would set a limit on how much money could be wired/sent/transferred to Mexico. For every illegal caught that amount would be reduced by $50,000. For every repeat offender it would be reduced by $100,000.
You move Enrique!
That is exactly what I am talking about. Give Messico an ultimatum. Pay for the wall or lose that aid forever.
Trump should tax the cr*p out of it and pay for the wall.
No bias here. A million dollars for any article from See BS in which they actually had the courage to call out Al Sharpton for the hundreds of instances when he made inflammatory, racist, anti-white remarks.
Oh but they haven’t seen Trump negotiate.
And the Donald isn't a Conservative. He will allow illegals to gain citizenship.
All we have to do is look into his past for clues.
>>Most folks keep posing the question without even taking into consideration that the man who wrote “The Art of the Deal” might just know how to leverage ANY business situation.
They seem to think that he thinks like a politician and only talks like a businessman. Trump is an old-school brick and mortar businessman and not some politician or even a dotcom “entrepreneur”.
Actually it would be the U.S. consumers who would be paying the tariffs and, indirectly, the wall.
DO you think Trump is more Conservative than Cruz or Walker?
In three months it will be fully funded.
