Did PRESIDENT Trump even invite the idiot to come to the White House? Probably not. I’m glad POTUS fired him up with his “testy” phone call. It’s time somebody showed a little testosterone with these thieving bastards.

So Trump said we're sick of taking care of your people while you let people pump drugs and guns into the USA.

You're gonna pay.....one way or another...

So just put a heavy tax on the 69 billion dollars Mexicans send back to Mexico every year. It will be paid for in one year. Nieto would surely understand and appreciate using a back door policy.

All the pics and stories showing illimms (illegal immigrants) protesting the USA, it should be captioned, “THESE ARE THE MEXICANS THAT MEXICO WANTS TO GET RID OF...SO THEY DUMP THEM ON US”.

Trump probably asked Mexico to tear down their southern border wall before they tell us not to put ours up.

Mexican law can also deport foreigners who are not physically or mentally healthy or cannot provide for their own sustenance. The foreigners deemed to be detrimental to the economic or national interests can be deported.

Mexico’s largest source of foreign income is not oil, it’s money Mexicans send back to Mexico from the US. They send their poorest citizens to us, they get free health care and education, they send 69 billion every year back to Mexico. Nieto is not going to willingly lose that. It’s going to have to be ripped from his hands.

This is probably driven by the upcoming election in Mexico.

The Mexican President was likely looking for a media show tailored to help his party look good in foreign relations, and Trump would not throw away his credibility to help him, for nothing in return. Now doubt he is keeping the pressure on, for leverage in our trade talks over NAFTA.

Peña Nieto’s political party, The Institutionalized Revolution Party (PRI in Spanish), is not as bad as it used to be, but it is still bad. They are responsible for the lousy economic performance of Mexico in the 20th century (before NAFTA and the twenty year run of their political opposition, the PAN).

The then ruling PRI was so left wing, that Leon Trotsky fled to Mexico from the Soviet Union when he lost out in internal politics, because he viewed Mexico as the next great experiment in communism.

The founder of what became the PRI led a period of communist-style revolutionary dictatorial rule (1928-34) called the Maximato - the Spanish translation of Bolshevik, referring to to a big or maximal approach to revolutionary transformation, as opposed to gradual reforms. They even waged a shooting war against Christianity, now called the Cristero War.

A lot of Americans don’t realize how hard left the politics in Mexico have been, and for how long. Generations have been raised subject to radical leftist indoctrination. Like here in the States, the first target of the hard left for ideological control through unionization were teachers. Like here with the Democratic Party, the teachers unions are a backbone of the PRI, but they are even further to the left in Mexico.

PRI is not worth supporting in an election, although some say that an even harder left candidate (Andrés Manuel López Obrador, AKA AMLO) has a shot at the powerful office of the Mexican Presidency in this election.

That means he won’t be able to vote in election and it’s too late to mail in his absentee card. That’s one less vote for George P. to reimage the Alamo into Mexico.

The President should just issued EO that ALL money being sent to Mexico will have a 40% tax.

Bada bing bada boom.

So much for getting paid in cash and not paying taxes, Frito Banditos.

Still tired of the leaks. Cauyses unnecessary bad relations between countries if confidential dialogue is blasted over media.

You are right about that one. But, since most of them end up in CA it may not matter. CA is 49th out of 50 states in education. They are mostly dumbasses except for the crowd that moves out there for the tech jobs. Hard to tell who is less educated. Illegals or native Californians.
