Mexico’s foreign secretary is planning an all-out legal assault on any future construction of a border wall by the U.S., to include filing suits in U.S. and international courts over possible environmental, human rights and international treaty violations.

Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray told congressional leaders here that Mexico will neither pay for nor cooperate with the wall proposed by the Trump administration, under any circumstances.

He called the wall proposal a “profoundly unfriendly” and “hostile” act.

“We won’t contribute in any manner, directly or indirectly or financially or in any other form to the continuation of a construction of a wall or any other type of physical barrier between our two countries,” Videgaray told members of the congressional foreign relations committee. …

Why should Mexico care?

We have to go after the scum in Congress. Most GOP Congressmen are pro-amnesty and do not want the wall built or immigration reduced. We need to go after these people in the 2018, targeting the worst offenders. Republicans who were supportive the Gang of 8 amnesty needs to go. In the House, that means Gowdy and Goodlatte who are behind the scenes amnesty ring leaders.

Would be a terrible shame if some of them just happened to die due to drug violence.

We should all boycott Tequila for starters.

Even better. Produced and distilled about 30 miles from where I was born and raised.

Railean American Made Agave

"Following up the unparalleled success of the first American Handcrafted Rum™, RAILEAN introduced the first Handcrafted American Agave Spirit™ made from 100% Blue Agave."

"RAILEAN El Perico (Spanish for the parakeet) was launched in 2011 to rival Mexico's finest tequilas and is the first in a new category of American Agave Spirits™ made from 100% Blue Agave."

"Americans now have a choice between imported mass produced Rum / Tequila and higher quality American Rum and Agave Spirits made in the USA."

100% Made in the USA!

Mexico has consulates in every US state which are offering legal advice and assistance to Mexican illegals. Maybe our relationship could benefit by starting to close some of these consulates with the message that our response will be proportional to the Mexican governments opposition to our internal affairs.

Makes sense. They see lawfare stopping Trump’s travel ban, illegal ban etc.

So is sending thousand of your scumbag criminal beaners over our borders.

This ain’t Obama in the White House; this is an American.

And one way or the other, we are taking our country back.

He hasn't seen "hostile" yet.

Of course you will. We'll just appropriate any "funding" that goes to Mexico.

I didn’t know about that. So a wall comes in handy if you want to hold the Guatemalans back off your precious land, but we Americans are not supposed to feel the same way?

No, they’ll accept the partial wall, because 1. It wasn’t Trump’s doing, and 2. It’s a perfect symbol of lack of resolve and ineffectiveness. Trump promises to FINISH it, and that of course is something they have no way of adjusting to.

You know they’ll find ways of saying “It’s not the same thing!!”—because underlying their argument, but never getting spoken, is the conviction that we stole parts of the US from Mexico, and they are just entitled to take it back.Scratch the issue just a little , and that is quickly evident.

What’s taking so long to build the damn thing? Just call up the Army Corps of Engineers and lay in the triple standard concertina. We can always reinforce it later, but we could get at least SOMETHING up and running in a week or two.

Shoot them. Let their bodies float down the Rio Grande as a reminder to others thinking about invading the country.

Having had a taste or two of Tequila in my younger years, I would say that boycotting is a good idea ANY time!
