The Mexican president must have spent the day at my oldest son’s private, Christian school. The history teacher there told them and I quote, “to build a wall around our country is rude.” (He also told all the kids they would get free college if Bernie won because none of the children at this $15k per year establishment are “rich”).
Thank God my youngest is homeschooled and likes to chant “Build that wall! Build that wall!”
I love Trump’s executive order saying we’re going to use visas and withholding them as a way to force nations to take back illegal immigrants and criminals that otherwise were forced to stay here because we had nowhere to send them.
Mexico sends these “migrants” (illegals) to the US to work and send remittances back home.
Remittances are the #1 source of revenue for Mexico now, surpassing even oil exports. Theirs is a parasitic economy, with ours as the host.
Of course they have a serious, vested interest in keeping this going.
Hard to find exactly how much US foreign aid is sent to Mexico - I did find this. It’s almost a $billion annually. That should stop and we use those tax payer funds for the wall!!

I hope Trump asks El Presidente (on camera, in front of the press) just how Mexican policy toward illegal immigrants works . . .
....he’s just pissed his county’s second highest source of income is our taxpayer dollars is going to disappear
For that foreign interference inside our borders, throw them all out! Does anyone think Trump won’t move up the escalation ladder?
I hope Mexico’s president will keep his word and protect his citizens. There is no better way to do that than to bring them all back home.
Sooner or later the world is going to learn that you don’t screw with Trump. If Mexico was smart, he’d ask Trump for help in rebuilding the infrastructure in Mexico and creating jobs for the people down there.
Let me get this straight: the President of the country they are fleeing proposed to protect them while they are outside his borders? Perhaps he has forgotten the fundamentals?
This the most recent proof that Mexico certainly believes that Mexican illegal aliens are still “subject to the jurisdiction” of Mexico. Hence, children born in the US of parents “subject to the jurisdiction” of Mexico should not be conferred US citizenship via the 14th Amendment. End 14th Amendment birthright citizenship for illegal aliens now... Trump and Congress should act to define what “under the jurisdiction of” really means. Now.
Except on their own southern border, of course.
The Mexican President is about to learn what happens when you try to stand in the way of a train...a TRUMP TRAIN!
“Where there is a Mexican migrant at risk that requires our support, your country should be there,” Peña Nieto said in a brief address to his nation, which he said was a response to Trump’s actions earlier in the day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey Nieto, where’s YOUR damn country when one of your so-called citizens crosses the border?
Oh, that’s right, YOUR country is why they’re “migrating” in the first place - because it’s an open sewer and the rats are running away from the smell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Our communities are not alone,” Peña Nieto said. “The Mexican Government will provide them with the legal advice, which guarantees the protection they require.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mexico’s advice: GET OUT OF HERE, WE ARE A THIRD-WORLD HOLE OF EXCREMENT.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Specifically, he said, “the 50 Mexican consulates in the United States will become authentic advocates for the rights of migrants.” He didn’t provide details on what he said he wanted them to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
50 sewer openings here? Close them, shunt the crap to stay where it belongs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While he stopped short of canceling the meeting, he insisted: “Mexico offers and demands respect as the fully sovereign nation we are.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A sovereign nation doesn’t tell its citizens to go to another country UNLESS IT IS AN INVASION. At that point, it’s WAR.
We kicked you off of the land back in the days of Santa Anna, now stay out and be that wonderful “sovereign nation” you claim to be.
UNLESS of course you REALLY want U.S. protection of your citizens, in which case we’ll take your country off your hands and make it the 51st State of the Union. Mississippi is tired of being dead last in all the stats.
I just have 3 words for Mexico: 10 feet higher!
Also, just a suggestion, but when you are in a hole - stop digging.
Lots of ways for them to pay. One of the things I heard poo pooed on FOX yesterday was the tax on remittances. They said it affected the poorest of the poor who scrape together $50 to send. Not at the Western Unions at the Safeway near me. It’s usually $200 to $300 a week sent by the same people every week. They get that because they are paid under the table with no taxes on it. There is a huge underground economy here as I am sure there is elsewhere.
Mexico’s biggest industry is remittances.
Except for the wall on his southern border
