Trump On Mexicos Response To THe Wall: "Now the wall just got taller."
THe Blaze ^ | 2/10/16 | Blaze

Posted on 02/10/2016 7:25:04 AM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Former Mexican President Felipe Calderón told CNBC Saturday that his country would not contribute “a single cent” to the building of Donald Trump’s proposed wall.

“Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall!” Calderón, who served as president from 2006 to 2012, said. “And it’s going to be completely useless.”

“The first loser of such a policy would be the United States,” he added. “If this guy pretends that closing the borders to anywhere either for trade [or] for people is going to provide prosperity to the United State, he is completely crazy.”

Trump appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Tuesday and offered a response to Calderón’s comments.

“I heard the head of Mexico said ‘no way,’ and I said, ‘Now the wall just got taller,” the Republican candidate told “Morning Joe” hosts.

And we can reduce foreign assistance (ESF, IMET, FMS, etc) which effectively makes them pay for it.

If more people would call out the pure idiocy when it is posted here, the board would be so much better.

Well done!

Recently, receipts from the US exceeded oil revenues for the first time in Mexico’s history. They are going to fight the wall.

‘I don’t hear Mexico caving in to the threat.’

It wasn’t a threat.

:: What has changed, in my view, is FReepers no longer self-censoring ::

Might I drag you back to my post #10 wherein I used a cultural anachronism yet, substituted characters in the vulgar word so as not to offend others (self-censoring?).

To wit, I posted “Ain’t that the sh*t”.

Y’all’s overt and extraneous piousness is stifling.

It won’t get built, at least for any significant distance.

What difference does it make though as he is not going to send all the illegals back anyway.

The arrogance of Mexico and it’s parasitic pisses me off to no end. Arrogant beggars and thieves.

You definitely get it.

One thing I try to do is compliment good postings. We still have good thinkers and good writers who need to be encouraged, especially when the jackals come calling.

“I would prefer someone who holds the verbal fire and actually does something”

I think you would prefer someone who does nothing. Same old same old....

Stifling? Really?

You can find no other words to express your excitement and approval of your man's statements than that?

Really?

I think you can, because you used some good, precise words in what I snipped.

>>NO ONE who entered this country illegally will EVER become a citizen. This will be the law of the land!

Yep and no work permit ever. With employer verification required for work.

Some physical barriers are needed, but do the above would do more to stop illegal immigration.

Impose an excise tax on remittances to Mexico, as Glenn Reynolds has been saying, and you get more than enough money to pay for a wall. Mexico makes more from remittances by immigrants (legal and illegal) in the US than it does from oil revenue.
