Mexico can't even help itself with millions of its citizens fleeing the country. The UN needs to step in to curtail the violence in MX that has flooded across the border.


What is poor mexico going to do, send illegal drugs in trucks marked with red crosses?


Mexico can help by paying for the wall. It's the least they can do for all the money taxpayers spend on illegal alien support, lawyers, jail time feeding. healthcare and edu.
Last time, they sent a convoy of 45 military trucks containing 250 tons of food, two mobile kitchens capable of serving 7000 meals a day, three mobile water treatment plants, and several hundred uniformed military members, including engineers, doctors, and nurses to aid in the recovery effort. They also sent a ship outfitted with rescue helicopters and other rescue vehicles that docked near Biloxi, Mississippi.

No because it's America first!

We don't need foreign help when it comes to disasters, we Americans should be helping Americans.

Of course, if FEMA is not fully staffed and is unprepared for the magnitude of this disaster, I'm sure that the Trump family will be more than happy to go down and help out with aiding the victims.

Makes sense to accept help from Mexico. A good fraction of the people being rescued are Mexican nationals illegally present in the US.

I saw that, too, but I haven't seen a response from the administration yet. Have you seen anything?

That's too bad. The people of coastal Texas could sure use those mobile kitchens and water treatment centers, and the sooner the president accepts Mexico's offer of help, the sooner they'll be in place.

I guess that explains why the 'other' nation Trump likes to denigrate at present sent help to Katrina; they were just self interestedly helping their own illegals.
