History repeats itself--
How do you think the Saudis got all the infrastructure for their oil system---
Took it over from the companies that had the contracts and built it and thought they had an agreement with SA to continue the partnership until the oil was gone...
Same way the Suez Canal was confiscated after European and American money went to build it and run it
Mexico has done this before when it nationalized its oil industry in the 30s---
You know American companies were involved in discovering and producing the oil
Mexico just deregulated their oil industry beginning last week. Immediate 20% price increase. Riots are ensuing. Regardless of what you think about them, it would appear you're taking own chances if you want to start to try calling their bluffs.
Honestly we should just annex Mexico, with force or not... divide it up onto states, execute all the drug dealers and corrupt police.. no more mister nice guy with corrupt criminal types... we need more warm climate to settle in... all we got is Florida... would be a great economic expansion project, national debt be damned... modernizing Mexico and having all that warm climate to move too... I'd quit my job and either join the Military or join a construction trade to help with it all.. or I wanted to back when I was really in my prime 10 years ago. This has been a longstanding view of mine...
You Sir, have Presidential potential written all over you ! Call Trump, he is looking for some good, like minded people !
There is one thing about this "wall" deal that Trump does not realize. Let's say he does force all these companies to come back to the US and he builds the wall. Suddenly, a whole lot of Mexicans are going to be out of work, and guess where they will be headed ? Yep, right here.
As for the wall, you could not build it high enough to stop people from getting in. You could electrify it, put armed guards every 10 feet, and surround it with an alligator filled moat, and they will still get in. Nothing has ever stopped desperate people from getting to a better life and a paycheck.

The Berlin wall worked well even tho the Germans on BOTH sides hated it.

The wall would cut back illegal immigration in significant numbers. We don't expect it to be 100% effective. Seems like those who keep make excuses why it can't or shouldn't be built are illegal alien sympathizers. It is so transparent. I have already posted a couple of links denoting how the tall double wall has already been proven successful in the places where it has already been erected. But alas, as I said the nay sayers are usually illegal alien sympathizers and they don't even try to hide it very well.
Well yes, cramming into living spaces does reset the subsistence level...anyhow. I did address the social safety net as the main problem.
What I am saying is migrating to work is the least bad. Its the people that come here to become leaches. They have free time to promote themselves more political benefits ,and to engage in crime. The wall is the least effective measure. So long as easy rewards remain, it is only a stop gap. The way it used to be is if people did not do well, they left. The Islamic migrant problem in Europe is a joke. They successfully go on public assistance. If the host country were not socialist, they wouldn't be there.
Lets not exaggerate the Latino problem. Its a policy problem , our policy.
Latino problem? No, it's an illegal alien problem. It's still bad to migrate here illegally to work as many Americans lost their jobs to them because they work for less and it has reduced wages for them also.

But you always forget to post the sources about the difficulty of building a wall in the middle of the Rio Grande, or the problems that the US has faced for over 20 years in trying to buy land to build the existing fencing, or the fact that if you build a wall you can always tunnel under it, or easier yet, just get a fake passport and book passage on a plane to the US. The wall was just another soon to be broken campaign promise, just like how Trump promised he won't touch Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security
