I say meh. I say how dare they demand we facilitate these crimes and sacrifice the economic well being of our citizen to support their corrupt government.
Nationalizations are not for Building the Wall but for forcing Mexico to pay it through charges on remitnces. the other way we can compensate would be by charging US companies in México with equal amount of remitances retention in USA.

Mexico would become Venezuela. No investor would touch Mexico for quite some time. Mexico will not be seizing anything.

Its just sour grapes for Mexico for having the same exact laws applied to them as they apply to foreigners in their country.

that's right becuase there is no mexican government. Their president and legislators are more like keeping a legacy of royalty as a link with the past. similar to the UK and its queen and royal family. High profile, no power.


Mexico would dry up if it tried to seize assets. It is immersed in murder that if in any other ****ry would prompt UN intervention.


Mexico needs to be annexed.


How embarassing for mexico that its people flee by the millions. Something to be proud of.


Trump will play mexico and its puppet government like a fiddle.

Default Payback is a B****: Mexico considers seizing $100 billion in US-owned assets

They will need that money to pay for the wall.

In turn an immediate stop of remissions to Mexico will halt that in it's tracks.

I quit reading after the first 2 words.
I read that long post - so it wasn't a waste. It was an excellent post.
