No worries. ;-)
Obvious from both the Mexican guy and ours that Mexico was pretty much told we will not allow it to be a conduit for folks, it doesn't want, into our country. The Mexican guy was long winded and our guy was pretty polite but terse.

Optics are the least of their worries with T Rex and General John Kelly visiting.
T Rex and Kelly are probably presenting President Trump’s unconditional surrender re sending their poverty laden, killers, rapists & other criminals to our country! How Mexico will accept the return of their undesirables, and how they will pay for the upcoming wall.
They have as much power resisting T Rex, Kelly and Trump as the Japanese and German had re resisting re signing our un conditional surrenders for their countries at the end of WWII.
Right there with you Grampa!!!
Mexico is used to acting mad and having US diplomats groveling. This is a really nice change

Why did Kelly promise the Mexicans there will be no mass deportations?
I am really disgusted with Kelly.
