To what? He already stated that he will not pay for Trumps wall. In fact he has stated this from the beginning whereas Trump has said Mexico will pay, then we will pay but they will pay us back, then we will pay, but will recoup through other means. The Mexican president has remained rock solid on this issue.

And who will be buying those products that were once exported to Mexico from those states?
$100 Billion from TX to Mexico about 1 million jobs. (2013)
Texas leads nation with record export numbers - San Antonio Express-News

$1.55 Billion from NM to Mexico. (2014)

$8.6 Billion from AZ to Mexico about 40% of their trade, and $7.3 million a DAY from visitors from Mexico. (2014)
Why Mexico Matters | Arizona-Mexico Commission

$24 Billion from CA to Mexico (2013)
NAFTA and California: 20 Years Later | CVF Capital Partners, Inc.

We stand to wreck the economies of several states if there is a trade war.

Huh, I stand corrected.

Did it use to be the way I described years ago with those cards? I thought I remembered a Mexican-American describing it that way years ago.

I don't know which news sources you visit, but Trump made it clear during the campaign that Mexico would not cut a check, but that it would come out in other ways.

I don't mind NAFTA getting reworked, but I don't want a trade war either.

Funny how liberals are largely siding up with Mexico and kissing up to them on this. Masses of them will cheer against the US and for our own demise on any number of issues going forward. Will they please PLEASE just move out already?

I noticed you didn't use the word "illegal immigrants" or "undocumented workers." So is this really about Mexicans? Sometimes I feel the people who complain about illegal immigration don't seem to care about people who are here illegally from Europe, but just want to rid our country of "Mexicans," even people who have lived here legally for generations.

I'm not sure. I have been using my current cards for over 5 years. We got the first one for our son when he started college so that we could help in case of emergency from our home state.

I'm not kissing up to anyone, I'm looking out for my bottom line. My taxes will go up to pay for this vanity project then my cost at the checkout will go up if Trump starts a trade war with Mexico to "pay for the wall".

Because the thread topic is about relations and trade with the country of Mexico and ramifications for Mexicans in Mexico.
