Mexican President: Mexico Doesn’t Believe In Walls

[Divine Wind]

Canada should build a wall

They don't have to - they realize that all the liberals who threatened to move to Canada if Trump won were bluffing.

Nonetheless, building a 2000 mile, multi-billion dollar wall on the southern border won't stop drug runners and terrorists from simply going around it by boat or one of the other 5500+ miles of Canadian border or 12,400+ miles of coastline.

The coast line is pretty heavily populated though. Way more than the desert. Chances of them getting nabbed are much larger. Nothing will cut it all off but a real border is a big step. Mexico doesn't want a wall because we are nothing effing with their economy, funny how that works.

Parts, yes. Nonetheless, the "Drug War" has been a resounding defeat. Terrorists have money and will do anything to hurt us. Obviously the current steps we've employed (attacking them where they live) are easier than having a bunker mentality. There are cheaper methods to stopping illegal immigration. The single biggest causal factor for slowing illegal immigration in the past 30 years was the Great Recession. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

Either way, this spectacle will be awesome to watch as it unfold on the way to the 2018 midterms.

Yeah so lets make sure we don't improve the gdp. How has the drug war been a defeat? They've confiscation millions of tons by now.

What Hypocrisy? Mexico Announces Plans for GREAT WALL on Southern Border with Central America

Mexican officialss are talking about building a great wall on its southern border with Central America. It seems Mexico agrees with Donald Trump’s plans to build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants – but only on its southern border with Central America.

"Mexicans are calling for the border wall to keep out Guatemalans, Salvadorans and Hondurans fleeing violence in their own countries."



Mexico Already Has a Giant Wall, and a Mining Company Helped to Build It

Some walls are made of concrete and razor wire. Others are made of soldiers, violence, bureaucracy and misinformation. While Grupo Mexico has built a long wall to stop migrants from getting on or off its long distance train, “The Beast,” the Mexican government’s Southern Border Plan is also making it much harder for Central American migrants desperately fleeing violence and poverty to travel through the country.



Mexico moves to lock down its OTHER border wall | Daily Mail Online




Mexico has a serious, and growing, problem with immigrants transiting through Mexico on the way to the US. For years Mexico has had a more lenient policy with their own illegals TRANSITING THROUGH Mexico (not staying) on the way to the US. It is being reported now that if the US gets serious about closing and controlling its US-Mexican border the flow of illegals into their country on the way to the US will back-up and become much MORE 'their' problem. As mentioned, they already have enough problems with these transiting illegals, so they are getting serious about closing / controlling their own southern border now.

'Mexico doesn't believe in walls' my ass.

Mexico says it doesn't believe in walls because of the millions of American dollars the illegals send back home to Mexico.

Those dollars a huge part of the Mexican economy. So no. They aren't in favor of a wall that will keep their citizens in Mexico and the US dollar in America.

 

[Indeependent]

a market friendly visa could solve our illegal problem on permanent basis using capitalism, not socialism.

Elaborate.

I can't wait until Trump suspends ALL foreign aid to Mexico. The country will collapse. And it will be glorious to watch.

Myopic

I agree. Say did any of those celebrities that were going to leave if Trump were elected actually leave??

Canada should build a wall

The only reason Canada would need to build a wall is to keep the liberals from fleeing every time a Republican is elected President, however Canadians realized that liberals won't flee to Canada unless someone else pays for the move.

I know it's early yet but this is the post of the year so far. Love it.

Why did they ever knock down the Berlin wall? Seems like a stupid decision now

OMG, Democrats are so stupid it's funny. The Berlin wall was a prison wall to prevent their own citizens from leaving. Our wall is to allow us to decide who comes into our own country. We need to check out everyone coming here to ensure they are not a criminal, aren't carrying diseases and they can support themselves. You're such a dim wit

I'm all in favor of improving the US economy. I'm all in favor of reducing our nearly $20T debt. It's a non sequitur to say drugs or illegals are the reason our economy is down and our debt is so high.

As for drugs, some people are a drain on society. It would have been better if they had never been born, but since they are, then I'd rather they OD and remove themselves from society rather than have taxpayers spend billions of dollars each year trying to protect them from themselves.

This is the same reason why I'm against seatbelt, motorcycle helmet and other Nanny State laws.

If it's either or, then why do they continually chose to walk across?

 

[PredFan]

Why would ANYONE care what the Mexican President has to say? He must be one of the worst leaders in the Western Hemisphere. Completely ineffectual, his country is in shambles, his people leave in droves.

Wouldn't a cheaper resolution be to require proof of legal residence prior to transferring money out of the country? Add to that something akin to a straw purchase law to prevent legal residents from transferring money for illegals.

Yeah, not many people climb fences to get into communist, oppressive governments.
Fences are good, as 'The Walking Dead' has taught us, for keeping the 'life-suckers', deadbeats, etc... out.
