There is a reason after all, why Mexico has much more stringent laws against illegal immigration (and even legal immigrants getting citizenship).
So? I couldn't care less what happens to Mexico. Mexico is like a boil on our butt that needs to be lanced. Let the corruption leak out and start over again.

Trump is the only candidate calling for mass deportation.

It will not matter who gets elected. There will be no mass deportation.

Why should we care about Mexico? Did they care about the devastation to our own citizens by millions of their citizens coming here illegally sucking us dry?

You are right. And no politician is willing to go directly after the cause. They talk band-aids on the symptoms. They would lose all funding from corporate America(Campaign funding), that wants the cheap labor to drive down their overhead and increase profits for the shareholders....


Seizure of all assets. Business and personal, if you employ a Tourist.

and this matters because?
Their people, their issues to deal with. Why should the USA or any other country be responsible for Mexican citizens?

There is no reason to not impose a 90% tax on all money transfers south of the border.
