The Daily Caller ^ | January 27, 2017 | Christian Datoc

Posted on 01/27/2017 9:21:35 AM PST by BradtotheBone

Mexican Sen. Armando Pitter told MSNBC’s Mariana Atencio Friday that Mexico will stop cooperating with the United States’ counter-terrorism efforts if President Trump does indeed build a wall along the United States’ southern border.

Pitter, and other Mexican lawmakers, will reportedly meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Pinieto Friday afternoon to discuss “the possible course of action.”

Sounds more like a good reason to proceed with the WALL.

Don’t give me any crap about electronic surveillance that can be turned off or defunded at the drop of a hat.

“Mexico will stop cooperating with the United States’ counter-terrorism efforts “

You can’t stop something in which you’ve never been involved in the first place. Mexico is like a Remora that’s been attached to and sucking the life out of America since it’s inception as a “country.”

The wall on the Southern Border, and also a mid-east immigrant ban will be by far the easiest, fastest, cheapest and most effective “anti-terror” measures that could be taken. Almost anything else mexico would do would be tiny in comparison.

Simply BAN travel from 20-25 Mid-East, North African, South Asian countries and literally, the Muslim terror problem will dry up very quickly.

Why? Not only will you dry up the supply of Jihadis themselves, you will remove their network of ideological and material support, of money, and of refuge.

And the first logical question should be asked:

What exactly do you have against the wall?

Then the cartels will run them to ground. Period.

OK,fair enough.Carry out that threat and instead of a wall manned by 10,000 policemen you'll have a wall manned by the First Infantry Division.

How do ya like *them* apples,Pedro?

“The truth is the Mexican government is scared to death that the Mexican people will rise up and overthrow the Mexican elites who runs things....”

It’s about time they did just that!

Whatever blows your skirt up, Pedro. Any terrorism that you ignore, will be happening on YOUR side of the wall. Handle it as you please.

Exactly, how would we tell the difference?

Mexico is so corrupt and out of control to the cartels, we have no option but to wall them off.

How many people were beheaded or had their bodies left hanging from overpasses in Mexico last year? If the Mexicans have been fighting terrorism, I am not sure anybody would be able to tell if they stopped.

The money sent to Mexico by illegals working in America....is all illegally gained.

Never mind a surcharge....confiscate it. It's a good piece of Mexico's economy.

Those monies should be spent IN AMERICA.

Well, that would pi$$ off the Europeans who’ve been making a killing buying their oil under the table and selling them arms. Maybe what’s happening in Europe right now with the muzzie invasion isn’t so bad after all.

The Mexican blathering is the government’s fear of being unable to kick their dirt- poor people into America onto our gravy train.....and the federales pocketing billions in remittances.

According to the govt of Mexico, illegals on US soil are, in fact, Mexican citizens that the Govt encourages to come here for our generous handouts.

==============================================

AFFIDAVIT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
IN A SWORN AFFIDAVIT TO A TEXAS COURT, MEXICO
SWORE THAT MEXICANS ON US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico/s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system

The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad."

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.

==========================================

Ergo, illegals have two governments looking after their interests.....our govt subsidizing them, and the Mexican govt making sure they collect.

Its time the US govt look after the interests of American citizens.

With all my heart, I feel sorry for the decent, hard-working people of Mexico who have been sabotaged by the Mexican Government.

So Mexico would self identify as a terrorist harboring state? That could prove hazardous to their health.

A simple,easily understood thing DJT could do is withdraw Mexico's "favored nation" status when it comes to visas.Instead of just appearing at the border and being waved through they'd have to make a formal application for a visa at a US Embassy of Consulate.These facilities would be staffed as they are now and approvals could take months.

Of course Mexico would do the same...so we'd vacation in Hawaii,California,Texas,Florida or the Caribbean instead.

The wall is being built in part to fight terrorism and keep Muslims from coming into our country. I don’t think Mexico wishes to aide and harbor terrorists. I certainly hope not for their sake.

No problem. Our wall will now be mounted every 100 yds with this.

And controlled and monitored remotely with a precision guided firearm (PGF), such as TrackingPoint http://www.tracking-point.com/ .
