The Mexican ruling class knows it has no leverage in any negotiation with the U.S. All the bluster from Nieto is for domestic consumption. He’s got to at least try to look tough to his people, but he knows he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
Mexico needs us, but we don’t need them in any way. That country is a net drain on our people and our resources.
If they know whats good for them, they’ll come to the bargaining table with hat in hand, and take whatever crumbs President Trump is willing to give them.

Absolutely, but the long term goals should be to eliminate the rampant corruption and control of Mexico by the ruling elites, and create a society that Mexicans don't feel the need to escape from just to make a living. A strong and vibrant Mexico will ultimately mean a safer USA. Imagine a Canada south :-).
