Arizona Mayor Says Trump’s Wall Would Be ‘Slap In The Face’ To Mexican Neighbors
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | March 6, 2017 | Thomas Phippen

Officials in one Arizona border town are opposed to President Donald Trump’s border wall to restrict illegal immigration.

“A wall would only represent a slap to the face of our Mexican neighbors,” John Doyle, mayor of border town Nogales, Ariz., told USA TODAY. “It sends the wrong signal to the rest of the world.”

Nogales, Ariz. and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, are separated currently by a largely ineffective border fence. Many on the U.S. side of town, including county sheriff Tony Estrada, have friendships and familial ties across the border.

I am of the opinion that illegals who are here in the US illegally are a blatant slap in the face to all American citizens.

Illegals Cut 9,287 Holes in Obama-Era Border Fence

(CNSNews.com) - During a six-year stretch of the Obama presidency, people illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border cut 9,287 holes in the “pedestrian” fencing that currently covers only 354 miles of the 1,954-mile border, according to a report published by the Government Accountability Office.

This turkey of a mayor needs some lessons on what these illegal aliens cost U.S. citizens, maybe he needs a slap in the face.

They’re neighbors. Not roommates.

I wonder how the taxpayers of Nogales, AZ, feel about subsidizing the education and everything else for the residents of Nogales, Mexico?

I’m sure there will be a gate that Mexicans with a visa can pass through. The Mexicans that come over daily to dump their kids in our schools and use our healthcare may not like it, but the taxpayers should.

The Mexican government is willing to pay $50,000,000 to keep their citizens in the United States.

I say we play the game.

OK, Mexico, you give us $50,000,000,000 or we send your citizens back AND send you Nancy Pelosi!

They’ll fold like cheap lawn chairs.

Well Mr Mayor, for the past 25+ years and especially under Obama, Mexico has been kicking America in the balls by allowing the Mexican people and their southern neighbors to go through Mexico to invade the USA. And you're calling the boarder wall a slap in the face to Mexico?? You must be Mexican and or a liberal.

Many border-town bigshots profit in many ways from all forms of smuggling.

This is not rocket science.

And Doyle is an infected, diseased, turd-covered, maggot infested microspecies of humanity. Right?

A slap in the face is to those who came here legally who pay taxes, and have had their family or property hurt or even worse death by illegals.

And their repeated violations of our borders are what, a kiss on the lips?

He probably got told to take the money and make an anti-wall statement, or risk the consequences. Many mayors in Mexico have been murdered.

Eleven million of them here illegally is okay, but building a wall so they can only come legally is “a slap in the face”. Okay, no point in reasoning with that person.
