It will be "enlightening" for everyone involved.
You obviously missed the meaning of my post. Perhaps you should google the children's fable character I mentioned.

The OP is a Gump supporter, and he appears to be serious.

This is what runs through the minds of the Deplorables -- an actual war with Mexico. Unreal.

I'm a "deplorable" by Hillary's definition.

The Far Left and the Far Right have much in common. They are hysterical, rabid, ideologues. Luckily, there aren't too many of them, but they are vocal.

Seriously? Mexico's GDP is 1/10th that of the US and you claim it's "everything for them, none for us." and "they have had things their way for a long time."?

And for that matter would it be so bad to finish what we started in 1846 or whenever it was?

Maybe it's time to remind them who runs things.

I'm not saying be a bully. But they have had things their way for a long time. Mexicans can come here and work, but you just try to work in Mexico without jumping the right hoops, they will toss you out. I worked there legally, I know. Everything for them, none for us.


War? Well, that would be quick.

And I think you missed the point of mine.

I want to know what my enemy thinks. I want to know what ideas you guys have in your head.

Plus it entertaining.

I'm sure you enjoy some bat**** crazy stuff the left says.

The US has also benefited from NAFTA - look at the big export market since 1990.

In 2016: (in millions)
211,848.7 US Exports to Mexico
270,647.2 Mexico exports to US
-58,798.6 Net

In 1990:
28,279.0 US Exports to Mexico
30,156.8 Mexico exports to US
-1,877.8 Net

I don't enjoy the "bat**** crazy" Far Left. Progressives and their violence are dangerous. The Progressives hate traditional American values, our history, our country, and any dissent from their views. The Far Leftists are not enjoyable to me in any way.

A 'war with Mexico' would last about a day and we all know what would happen.
