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."

“A bunch of US companies have companies and assets in Mexico”
Tough noogies to them! They screwed Americans by looking for cheap labor and non-existent anti-pollution laws.
What do they have that we need? Our factories at this time...
If Mexico wants to play that stupid game they have A LOT more to lose. They need us, we don’t need them!!!!!!
All those MILLIONS of illegals returning to Mexico can take what they learned here while living in the US and make Mexico great,again!

Really, why wait for a real recession when you can artificially cause one by off shoring jobs to the third world. At least we feel the pain up front.
