A Mexican lawmaker is pushing for a law that would make it extremely difficult for a president Donald Trump to erect a border wall without severe penalties.
The Hill reported: A Mexican lawmaker is pushing legislation that would let Mexico's government retaliate against a possible Donald Trump presidency, Reuters reported Friday.
The legislation is designed to counter any attempt from the U.S. government to make Mexico pay for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, and gives the Mexican Senate power to disavow international treaties if Mexican national and business interests are threatened by another state.
"In cases where the property/assets of [our] fellow citizens or companies are affected by a foreign government, as Donald Trump has threatened, the Mexican government should proportionally expropriate assets and properties of foreigners from that country on our territory," the preliminary summary of the proposal said.
Senator Armando Rios Piter from the center-left Party of the Democratic Revolution will present the legislation next week in hopes of sending a message to Trump about his immigration policy.
"At a time like this, it's vital for us to understand why this relationship benefits both. We're neighbors, we're friends, we're partners," Piter said. "[Trump is] putting [that] at risk."

They(Globalist corporations) have their man parts hanging out and Trump has the axe.
Dear globalists, an economic downturn in factory orders doesn’t affect Americans IF THE FACTORY LAYING OFF IS IN MEXICO.

It is if you use dhimmicrap math. The left (and the rino’s) call it a tax “cut”, when they don’t impose a proposed tax. And, when they don’t increase a spending line item to the level previously proposed, they count the difference as ‘spending cuts’.
So, in the (il)logical libtard mind, they would agree with the Mexican gubbmint, that cutting foreign aid would, in fact, be appropriating their funds.
Silly, but true.
Mexico will receive an offer it cannot refuse
if the border is completely closed, Mexico is in bad trouble
Sounds like them Mexican politicians like what they see in Venezuela.....
They can claim what they want
I can just imagine a wall built from stacks of connex containers, with the bottom ones filled with concrete.
How about reparations?
Been saying for years: $2,000/month per illegal alien. And let us not forget past bills that are way overdue.
“The Mexican elite know that if they don’t have an open border to the North as a safety valve for the downtrodden, it means revolution in Mexico.”
That is the heart of the matter, for sure.
“we’re friends”

None of my friends dump their discards on me and expect me to pay for their upkeep.
“A Mexican lawmaker is pushing for a law that would make it extremely difficult for a president Donald Trump to erect a border wall without severe penalties. “
Close the border - road, rail, air, sea - to all Mexican Nationals trying to enter the United States. Do it on a Monday and by Friday they will have relented.
Amen
Apparantly, this lawmaker has weak math skillz
Mexico has a trade surplus with the US
If anything happens to US companies that move to another country, the US taxpayer is on the hook. One of the perks the feds gave to encourage their moving out.
Mexico, You have the wrong idea. Make your country great and you’ll have US people clamoring to visit and spend mucho dollars.
If Mexico was great, your precious citizens would stay and make Mexico even greater.
I love the smell of Mexican desperation in the morning. :-)
No problemo! Just shift the border south of any American assets.
They are running out of sufficient oil to continue export—already they are importing NG from the US. During the glory days of $100 plus crude, they pumped so much nitrogen into the Cantarell Field, the NG won’t burn proper anymore.
