Mexicans Want To Strike Back After Trump Sends The National Guard To The Border
businessinsider.com ^ | April 5, 2018

In the wake of President Donald Trump's directive to deploy National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border, senators in Mexico are calling on their government to retaliate by cutting off cooperation on security and immigration issues.

In a nonbinding resolution approved unanimously on Wednesday, senators said they condemned Trump's "baseless and offensive comments about Mexico and Mexicans and demand the treatment that the relationship between neighbors, partners, and allies requires."

Lawmakers rejected "categorically the intention of President Donald Trump to militarize the border with Mexico and consider such action one insult more."

They urged Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto "to suspend the bilateral cooperation with the United States of America on matters of migration and the fight against transnational organized crime as long as President Donald Trump does not conduct himself with the civility and the respect that the people of Mexico deserve."

The motion also called on the US Congress to urge Trump "to direct relations with Mexico on the basis of respect and mutual collaboration" to confront shared challenges and foster prosperity and development.

“Mexicans want to strike back”

Go for it. Last time we got California. This time, we could get a true military frontier.

What do they think the “Halls of Montezuma” is about?

The Constitution gives the President the power to conduct war.


And the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill gives the DJT the power to militarize the border under current circumstances.

We should respect May-hee-co by revising our immigration laws to be identical to theirs, and we should enforce them with the same vigor that May-hee-co does.

And we should print up little instructional comic books to hand to the millions of US citizens who will be trying to sneak into May-hee-co, just like May-hee-co has done for their citizens who want to sneak into the USA.

The recent Harpers Weekly post from freeper Homer_J_Simpson was a magazine from 1858. I looked at the actual website — there was an article from 1858 about what a mess Mexico was. Update a few names and it could have been printed today.

I didn't think Mexico was that stupid. I was wrong.

Like the rest of the world, they think it's same-old, same-old as far as negotiating with the United States. In other words, foreign country blusters and puffs up their cheeks, and the US (at the advice of the State Department) runs for the fainting couch begging for forgiveness.

Sorry, Meh-HEE-co politicians, those days are gone. Welcome to the new normal in dealing with the USA!

Time for a great big ol TEXAS roundup nation wide and Mexico is helping the US justify it. I love it when a plan comes together.

When the spiks start revolting in the street, President Trump, can we then get real serious and ROUNDIN' 'EM UP? I mean down to the last man child and woman that are illegal and plop their arses back across the border.

Get ready for the protests that these wets did under Obama and get your wagons ready to load them up.

Then sit back and watch the hilarity ensue.

Call me an extremist, but I say cut off diplomatic relations and all trade with Mexico. They offer nothing of value, they flood our nation with drugs and their criminal element. Lets pull out of NAFTA, cut off all ties, require every Mexican national to leave the country and quarantine the border and put Mexico on the no fly list.

I love the way you think. They also are training grounds for Islamics to blend in as mehicans so that they can sneak across the border. We (meaning my team) has caught more than one of these grass crawling raghead invaders sneaking through South Texas on his way to God knows where.

And boy when you nab those ragheads and call them out to border patrol as not being "latino" they get quite defensive. All that work for Allah to be nabbed by some redneck on a four wheeler that can speak spanish

The NG will be in support positions only, just as they were when Bush and Obama deployed them there.

Yawn.

We’ve got to watch Mexico and its idiotic politics, however, because if they do vote in a hard leftist like it looks they might, we don’t want four Venezuelas right up against our porous border, including inviting our more militarily potent enemies to come on in—which is what the situation could devolve to.

They should take a page from the Leftist handbook and boycott the US.

If this is what the Mexicans call cooperation the U.S. would be better of with out it. What part of Mexico does the government control? As for their military most of it is under control of the drug cartels. If it was not for the $32B that Mexicans send back to Mexico each year and the money the drug cartels bring in the Mexican economy would fail. The only building going on is being financed by the cartels

I wonder if these dopes know that what the US is doing to protect its border is far less than what Mexico does to protect its border with Central American countries.
