I bet when Trump heard that corrupt little screw worm presidente cancelled, a smile could be detected on Trumps face.

Make an example out of these SOBs Trump.

Yeah, and gun control will mean no more gun crimes, too.
Enforcement will be so easy to effect.

I was looking at property in Cabo and things don’t look all that cheap too me - and tee times aren’t cheap. Looks to me like they just price in dollars regardless of peso value.

The VALUE of being here is rising sharply. That’s the REAL incentive. We’re destroying the Mexican economy and making dollars worth greatly more. People will take the risk to come because there will be no alternative.

You do realize that a cheaper peso helps their trade balance with the US? right? Oh of course you don’t.

LOL! Don't forget - they also threatened to pull out of NAFTA - that'll do wonders for their end of the trade gravy train....

Shouldn’t we declare war on Mexico if Mexico’s cartels are waging war against us?

Mexico’s involvement in the illicit drug trade in the United States:

Marijuana: Mexico is the *number one* foreign supplier of marijuana to the United States, and marijuana is thought to be the top revenue generator for Mexican drug cartels.

Cocaine: Mexico does not produce cocaine, however, Mexican cartels move Columbian cocaine through South and Central America and into the United States. An estimated *93* percent of cocaine headed to the US from South America moves through Mexico.

Methamphetamine: Mexico remains the *biggest* foreign supplier of methamphetamine to the United States, and Mexican drug cartels set up labs to manufacture meth on both sides of the border, controlling labs in Southern California as well as domestically.

Heroin: While Asia and the Middle East remain the biggest producers of heroin, Mexican black-tar and brown heroin is on the rise. In fact, 39 percent of heroin identified under the DEA’s Heroin Signature Program (HSP) in 2008 came from Mexico, making Mexico the source country for many of the heroin abusers west of the Mississippi River.

Mexico’s government and the drug cartels work hand-in-hand in drug and human trafficking into our country.
Declare war on Mexico. Polk was right. Pershing, Patton ... all right.

Standing orders to Border Patrol should be: “Suspected Mexican cartel mules on American soil? Shoot on sight.”

If they want to shoot back, bring back one or two of our legions from the other side of the world being used to protect the borders of some lousy Arab -stan.

Mr. presidente is going to learn the hard way, this is not the old days where Mexico and it's people were ALLOWED to willy nilly defecate in our faces in our on daily basis.

Mr. presidente is sorely mistaken.

Mexico should pay for the wall because of its refusal to clamp down on illegal entry to the USA.

It is easy to see why your name is babble-on, fits you perfectly.

There is no relationship of border security to gun control in any way whatsoever. You know that.

Of course a cheaper peso gives the US greater leverage over Mexico. Mexico is the annual recipient of $26 billion in remittances from the US. The amount exceeds the sale of oil to the US. We can attach a surcharge to the remittances. Also, if Mexico wants to engage in a trade war with the US, it would be the bigger loser.

Wait until the illegal aliens from Mexico start flooding back to Mexico. It happened in a more limited amount when AZ passed its e-verify law (upheld by SCOTUS). The Mexican mayors along the border met with AZ legislators telling them the influx of their citizens from the US was causing havoc in their communities.

Mexico Is Angry Mexican legislators expressed concern that an Arizona law would prompt an influx of Mexicans into Sonora from Arizona

The cost of coming and being here illegally goes up every day as well. You have to factor that in. People always have an alternative.
