He also said Mexico’s government was “smarter” than ours. How does one come to that conclusion

Heh, true. If Mexico's government was "smarter" than ours, then (i) why are so many Mexicans desperate enough to risk their lives at the hands of cartel-connected coyotes to come here, and (ii) why are wages so low in Mexico that U.S. companies want to move production facilities there?

Seems the very points Trump makes about Mexico undermine his argument.

You made the point yourself...

Mexicans leave Mexico to come here and are encouraged by the Mexican government so the government doesn’t have to support them...The USA supports them and they send money BACK to Mexico...How much money does Mexico send to the USA????

Wages are low in Mexico and USA sends production TO Mexico...Therefor, Mexico gains job markets for the people at no cost to the Mexican government...The money earned by Mexicans FROM USA companies is spent, not in the USA, but in Mexico...

Tell me now, who has the smarter plan??????

that U.S. companies want to move production facilities there?

UH, actually that would be a reason why they ARE smarter.
