And all because a loudmouth like Trump is ruining any relationship and goodwill we had with our neighbor. Scary times to be alive. It'll be the day when we have what is tantamount to a reverse NATO, comprised of Russian and Chinese soldiers, shoring up along our border on Mexican soil, just like how we send NATO troops to the door of Russia.

Even if that doesn't happen, what else could AMLO do? He could also unleash a title wave of illegal immigrant to the US border (who, even with a wall in place, will eventually find ways across the border).
Ya, he's gonna fire illegals out of a cannon cartoon style. Mexico relies on US tourism. Let them F themselves, which they've already done once after not quelling their drug problem. If that idiot wants to inherit the Pemex issue good for him.

There will be no trade war because the reality of the situation is that the US has all of the leverage.

We may have some inflation, but Mexico will go back to being a third world country.

Mexico is also the United States second largest market for export goods. There would be huge consequences to making big disruptions in the economic relationship.

You seem to be the epitome of knowledge. Prove it. Debate it? Opinions are opinions.. And my opinion is Mexicos dealings with previous POTUS, Clinton, was not in the best interest of the USA. So, we need to change things..for the better of our financial and security issues within USA..

Especially considering to screw with Mexico he has to dump NAFTA, which also effects the US's largest trading partner for exports AND imports. Canada. That Keystone XL pipeline doesn't work as well with no oil in it.

You can do all your posts in Spanish for a while, and see how the grammar police do with you.
