Why? All they have to do is raise tariffs on American imports.

When Mexico goes, so will Canada. It was always a 3-way deal from the first.

Trump sees it as a "Win" destabilizing Mexico's government. He said so last night.
Why would we want a 3rd world dump? I'm voting for Trump to try to avoid living in one!

The US trade deficit with Mexico in 2015 was $58 billion. We are more than capable of not importing anything from Mexico or charging a heck of a lot to let them pass through the "big beautiful wall" with their truck loads of whatever. They need to be really careful shooting off their mouths.

Very odd comment. What would this have to do with defending anything other than our American citizens that live in these states? We could sanction and shutdown Mexico pretty darn quick. We are long way from being taken by a third world dump.

Mexico needs to learn the hard way that you don't dump off your criminals to the US
anymore, and American governments don't exist to feed and house your unwashed masses,
and American children don't live to suck up your drugs.

Mexico needs to be dealt with like the thugs they are.. they are an insult to civilization and are unworthy
to be a neighbor of the United States.

Ramp it UP !! The more tough talk the better.

This is an amazing statement by a Mexico politico -- it essentially says - "Trump knows what he is talking about" - the USA does have leverage against Mexico. For whatever reason - the President of Mexico decided to go 'head to head' in a meeting with Trump .... and he LOST.

The goal is to foresee and prevent any negative effects on Mexico if Trump becomes president of the United States,” he said.

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (Tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo in Spanish), officially entitled the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Limits and Settlement between the United States of America and the Mexican Republic, is the peace treaty signed on February 2, 1848, in the Villa de Guadalupe Hidalgo (now a neighborhood of Mexico City) between the United States and Mexico that ended the Mexican–American War (1846–48).

With the defeat of its army and the fall of its capital, Mexico entered into negotiations to end the war. The treaty called for the U.S. to pay $15 million to Mexico and to pay off the claims of American citizens against Mexico up to $3.25 million. It gave the United States the Rio Grande as a boundary for Texas, and gave the U.S. ownership of California and a large area comprising roughly half of New Mexico, most of Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. Mexicans in those annexed areas had the choice of relocating to within Mexico's new boundaries or receiving American citizenship with full civil rights. Over 90% chose to become U.S. citizens.

The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty by a vote of 38–14. The opponents of this treaty were led by the Whigs, who had opposed the war and rejected Manifest Destiny in general, and rejected this expansion in particular.


NOW ..... the claim by this Mexican Legislator is that this REALLY important Treaty with the United States, after a WAR that Mexico LOST .... can be wiped out because Mexico doesn't like Donald Trump?
Really????

Mexico is willing to go to WAR against the USA if the Citizens of the USA Elect a President that Mexico disagrees with? Really??

1) I doubt it.
2) How insulting - do we tell Mexico who they can elect? I know that Obama involves himself in telling the Brits and the Israelis how to vote - but most Foreign Nations don't say they are "going to WAR" against the USA over an Election.
3) Mexico is scared to death to have a US President that won't Roll Over and beg for their approval & give them everything they demand.

This is an "Nothing Burger" -- but the Left's favorite food is "Nothing Burgers" (vegetarian of course)
