Even police officers extort money from them so that they aren't arrested and deported.
Even if it's true we might see fewer illegal aliens crossing our southern border the damage to this country will already have been done.

Trump winning! Mexico creating more prosperity in southern countries means less illegals coming to the US! Should of happened a lot earlier than now... 13 billion loss for respecting our laws? Win!

Tell that to US farmers when US crop prices fall.

Their trading will be duty free, and they will be exporting cars to Argentina, also duty free. This will cause $13 billion in losses to American farmers. Are American farmers paying the price for Trump's successful effort to alienate Mexico and many other countries?
All hat, no source.

You reported it as all true...with no source.

So, what are we to think? That it was an accident on your part or that you were intentionally trying to mislead everyone by making unsourced claims and then crawfishing that they were possibly true in the future when confronted?

I mean sure, if you didn't have 3k posts here I'd think "Oh neat, someones grandma finally got on the internet, we should explain sourcing of claims". Instead, I'm left thinking you knew better from the start.

The US can cut its ties to MX, but MX will be fine.
Good news! Then all of the illegal immigrants who came from Mexico can go back, and the lefties won't have to feel any kind of guilt about some "poor down trodden family from Mexico needing to come to the US for a better life". They can go home now and prosper there. Hurray!

There have been signs that Mexico would start trading with other countries. They are our largest milk purchaser and now they are getting bids from New Zealand. Too bad for places like Wisconsin.

America’s $1.2 Billion Mexico Milk Trade Is Now at Risk
The biggest U.S. dairy importer is talking with New Zealand and buying more from the EU. Guess why.

Illegal immigration peaked in 2007. Mexican illegal immigration is down around a million since 2007.

Don't you folk pay any attention to what is happening?
