Mexican Senator Threatens: We’ll Stop Fighting Terrorism If Trump Builds The Wall
The Daily Caller ^ | January 27, 2017 | Christian Datoc

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.”

Ditto that! I made a similar comment yesterday. I’ve tried to explain many times to La Raza types that it’s not the land that makes the U.S. great, it’s our laws and people. If they took back Atzlan, it would be just more of Mexico. That’s why a lot of Mexicans that lived here fought with us in the Mexican American war and became U.S. citizens.

We give Mexico $419.94 million ANNUALLY in economic and military aid.

We have created jobs and factories in Mexico.

... and this:

"Mexico's central bank reported Mexicans overseas sent nearly $24.8 billion home in 2015, overtaking oil revenues for the first time as a source of foreign income."

Sounds kinda one-sided to me.

Give the money for the Blackhawks to CBP and that would double the number of hawks they have on the south border.

...We'll stop fighting terrorism...

When did they ever START fighting terrorism? They can't (or won't) even control their own drug cartels!

I wonder if that Senator has considered what happens to countries that harbor terrorists who attack the US?

Exactly! Mexico is overrun by their own form of drug-funded cartels and terrorists. Mexico “fighting terrorists” is a joke, AS IF we actually rely on them for their help.

We need the wall because Mexico isn’t doing a d@mn thing to keep terrorists from crossing the U.S. southern border. They’re worthless.

This is a threat from them to aide and abet terrorist attacks upon America. It is a threat of war.

Stop Fighting Terrorism? When did they start? Looks like all they have done is export Cartel Drug gang Terror north with Kidnappings, murders and drugs. They are worse than the Mafia was.

“If Mexico isn’t as wealthy as America, it’s only because of the government.”

Yep, I’ve said the same things for years.
