MEXICO CITY — The morning after his crushing election victory, Mexico’s president-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador thanked President Donald Trump for his congratulation message and said he’ll contact the U.S. leader to “reach an understanding.”
Lopez Obrador said in an interview Monday with the Televisa news network that Trump’s Tweet Sunday night “was very respectful. That is what we always want to maintain with the U.S. government, that there be mutual respect.”
Trump tweeted Sunday that “I look very much forward to working with him. There is much to be done that will benefit both the United States and Mexico!”(continued)

That is NOT what he said in his campaign... Is his federal court going to hold it against him?
Mexico once again elects another European white guy. I’m just sayin’.
Notice this guy talks about having “good relations” with the U.S. government—just not with the American people. This is how these 3rd world elitists think. To him, the people of America are all serfs, just like the Aztecan/Mestizo crap Mexico continues to send north so we can pay for them and their filthy spawn.
If we came back to life 700 years from now, they’d still be electing Europeans.
Hopefully, President Trump will get him to allow us to export Mexican Nationals into Mexico. That would be number one on my NAFTA deal.
“Hollywood had a respectable past.”
I disagree. Hollywood in the past simply didn’t brag about their perversions is all. Now they’re proud of their deviancy.
Through the mechanism of a broken border, the ruling upper class of Mexico has effectively been setting U.S. immigration policy all on its own.
The financial and cultural assault upon the U.S. taxpayers and middle class continues. NAFTA is a part of that scheme. Mexico has a $51 billion trade surplus with us, not including the billions in cross-border cash transfers from illegals here who send non-taxed cash to families back home via complicit U.S. banks.
Mexico is already getting so much from us including the societal safety valve of an open border, that it is absolute madness to be even "talking" with them about anything more.
Make no mistake. Mexico is an enemy of the state. Economically. Socially. Culturally. And criminally.
The U.S. needs to stop self-flagellating. There must be a declaration of war.
Give the enemy one chance to save face. Then, when the U.S. military has neutralized its cartels and corrupted national government, and the example has been set, illegal immigration as we know it will cease, and Mexico will be put back in the box where it belongs.
Perhaps with a non-criminal governance giving it a chance to live up to its potential, as a naturally resources-rich country, with a chance to raise the living standard of its own population, without resorting to hitching a ride on the backs of U.S. taxpayers to do so.
Look at Chile. It can be done.

Those words of his are all I need to know.
“I have a funny feeling they may actually get along much better than people think.
Trump knows the game. Obrador said things just to get elected, but he knows he’s going to have to be pragmatic.”
Obrador isn’t so stupid as to think that he can out-muscle the US, and being ultra-confrontation guarantees that we will definitely start doing things. I think that he also doesn’t want to be the cause of The Wall going up - this will tick off a lot of folks in Mexico, starting with the cartels that backed him.
His statements were mostly for show.
makes sense. The drug cartels don’t want massive immigration to cause us to do things that will impact the flow of their products.
Perversions extended beyond studio offices in the LA region across the continent, from bosses banging their secretaries to wives seducing the milkman.
Some lots of Hollywood, especially Disney, had very high standards.
Probably needs to be more like 10% - that would be 2.5 billion a year.
Simple response to such a scenario. Tax all remittances.
Germany adds a value added tax and reimburses those that leave its borders.
Sure, Manny, we’ll talk but let one more cross our border and the talking stops.
Germany adds a value added tax and reimburses those that leave its borders.
Yours is the exact opposite; not tax it in the U.S. but tax that which leaves the border. I thought we weren't in favor of raising taxes?
Americans pay the tax and are reimbursed.
The vast majority of Americans have domestic financial accounts. They do not use wire services for sending funds overseas. They use their financial accounts for which they must show ID to establish. Illegals can’t do that.
The vast majority of wired remittances will be illegals. Those that are legal can get reimbursed. It’s not difficult at all.
Only those who try to think of every loophole will rant on that taxing remittances won’t work. The loopholes are easily plugged.

President Trump looks like Cardinal Richelieu by contrast with any other US president. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
