Why do you "hate to say it"...good for the Pres of Mexico.

How, pray tell, would you get them to pay? The country of Mexico wouldn’t pay, there’s no way to make them pay, and the people immigrating themselves don’t have squat to pay you or they wouldn’t be coming here for low wage jobs.

Illegals just boost crime and help cover for drug dealers crossing the border. Robots can do EVERYTHING that do only for less.

Illegals send their money back to Mexico, Americans spend the money here.

Not only that but they cost the U.S. taxpayer over $100 billion a year for their social costs.

You'll never know since it's never going to happen. Only 2-4% of illegal aliens are picking crops and for those jobs there are unlimited H-2A visa for legal, foreign pickers. Try again!

Billions, trillions, frillions...what difference does it make anymore. The country doesn't give a damn, personally I don't either.

If THEY can continue to feed trillions to the wars, I don't give a damn anymore. It's gotten to this.

Teach a man to plant and give him assistance to start a farming operation and he becomes productive and contributes to the GNP. Give him a package of seeds and nothing else and laugh at the money you saved by not feeding him, and when he gets hungry he will find you and eat you. Guaranteed. If you are lucky, he will kill you first.

Pretty telling that you guys are openly rooting against your country. What Trump is doing is putting America first in negotiations with Mexico, just like Mexico always puts Mexico first. You've become so used to your leaders always making sure we got the worst of every deal, that you've developed a case of Stockholm syndrome. NAFTA has cost us our working class, our manufacturing jobs & to a large extent, the power of our unions. That's over now & Mexico's pissed. Too bad. Trump's looking out for America again, whether you & Mexico like it or not.
