Never has America seen a President Elect, talk so much and meddle in so much, and we've seen nothing but Trump build a Confederate Cabinet and push his confederate Ideals, Talking about jobs, but standing against increasing the minimum wage, that contradiction right there tells its own story. Wake up people... He can't think to Fix ACA, he wants it gone so his wealthy cronies can profit from the illness of the population. They figure if you can't work and provide them money, then they will profit from your bad health. Either way, YOU, loose.

Its time for the people to wake up and stop being driven by drama and ignorance and pay attention.
Agreed on all counts.

Why put the blame on the US or Trump? They didn't force those people to invest in a third world **** hole. They did it all on their own.
If you invest in US stocks, or a 401k or mutual fund, you likely have companies with properties in Mexico. Fortune 500 companies have assets outside of the US so they can sell to consumers in other countries.

Walmart and McDonalds and Marriott and Hilton and Hertz all have stores/buildings/properties in Mexico. These are US based companies that are US based publicly traded stocks. You just might own these companies if you have a 401k.

I didn't think US ownership of land in Mexico was legal. Did that change? Or are we talking about under-the-table deals & presta nombres? If so - it's a losing game, to try to outmaneuver people on their home turf. If the PRI & other institutional players & connected go-betweens are running the table, then the people cutting deals with them need to have their heads examined.

The Marines arent doing anything.

Why are Trump supporters so incredibly bloodthirsty and love to talk about attacking/ invading/ bombing/ nuking places?

Why would anyone try to steal $100,000,000,000 from a country that can so readily squash them?

Not blood-thirsty, but not giving up that kind of cash either. See how that works? Behave, and there will be no problem.

I think you are thinking of Cuba. There is nothing illegal about buying propery in Mexico. What law are you talking about?
