WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said his Mexican counterpart Enrique Pena Nieto should cancel his upcoming visit to Washington if Mexico refuses to pay for a wall along the border.

LOVE THAT. He’s putting it on Mexico. “If you want to talk to us, tell us how you will pay for the wall.....if not, there will be consequences.”
25% of Mexico’s economy is from the cash their citizens send back there fro the U.S.
Just charge a 3% tax on ALL cash going to Mexico.
That’ll pay for the wall.
Illegals work for cash here, pay no taxes, and use our schools, roads, and other public services.
3% is a small amount, but can’t make it too large or they’d just drive the cash across like the cartels do.
Calling his bluff. Trump says what he means, and means what he says.
Put Nieto in the corner with CNN.
Trump should cancel DACA, 140-150 per day are being added to the 750,000 already given work permits and permission to stay.
It needs to be done soon, even if they do not rescind papers already issued, they have to stop issuing new ones.
Liberals have been pushing the big lie that the illegals don’t cost us any money. They claim their presence is a net gain, which of course everyone knows is complete BS.
Schools, medical care, crime, social services, etc. all cost us a lot of money. Once again, the Democrats are lying to defend the wave of what they hope will be new Democrat voters. If they thought most of the immigrants would vote Republican, you can bet they would put an immediate end to invasion and put up every barrier possible to stop it.
I believe Mexico has a lower unemployment rate than the US.
OH MY GOD! I’ve been waiting a LONG time for a President to talk and take action like this.
Clear and concise, and talking from a position of power.
When I was in Mexico, my host picked up a comic type book that was a freebie at the register. He said it was put out by a government agency. It detailed how to get across the border, what to take with you and what to say to the authorities if you were detained. He said it detailed all of the services that would be available to the illegal once inside the US.
If that document really was from a Mexican government agency I’d say they deserve to pay for the wall. Just try to stay illegally in Mexico and see what happens to you.
Not to mention the fact these construction jobs would have gone to American citizens.
Hiring an illegal as a sub avoids social security, workers comp, lawsuits, etc.
So a $10,000 pool contract (if all fees paid) cost $6,000. Jose cashes the check and pays his 8 illegal workers.
They get drunk and go run over Americans.
That’s how it works in reality.
How can Pena Nieto not cancel now?
They need us more than we need them. The U.S. gives Mexico billions in foreign aid every year. Funneling that to the wall should cover the cost over the life of the project without costing the taxpayers a penny more. The savings from not supporting illegals with our tax dollars should further offset the cost.
Especially in Orange County.
That’s funny.
If he shows that means he’ll pay, if he doesn’t show, that means he against Trump.
Trump gave him a face saving opportunity NOT to come.
I predict he will NOT come.
That’s fine. We’re building the wall anyway, and they’re going to pay for it.
Contrast this with the Mexico lovefest that GWB engaged in when he first took office.
BOOM
Hey Mexico, nice peso currency you got there
Shame if something were to happen to it. ...
