TRUMP RESPONSE: “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.

It will and here is how: Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards — of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore.

“Wanna bet?”

Yes, if we offer to remove the various payments and grants and foreign aid and other forms of support and use that cash to build a wall, who really paid for it?

He’s protecting his billions in trade deficit, drug money, plus what he’s saving on taking care of his own people.

Mexicans are such great neighbors, aren’t they? Just like Canadians.

They will pay. Tariffs, taxes, fees, assessments. There are dozens of ways, literally dozens and they can’t avoid them.

50% tax o Western Union moneygrams going to Mx from the USA would be lucrative also.

Which will win, rows of Abrams tanks on US soil, or rows of fresh off the assembly line Ford trucks out of the Mexico plants?

Calderón, who served as president from 2006 to 2012, said Trump is “not [a] very well-informed man.”

So he's not even the current President and thus has no authority, ok, a little misleading as usual when it comes to the anti-Trump posts.

No kidding?

Trump is in-your-face-o.

Remind us why we ever voted for anybody else (ok, that’s hyperbole, but someone at least is now trying to mean it).

“”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.””

Who said anything about PROSPERITY? Who’s the crazy one?

He doesn’t understand ILLEGAL and SECURITY and SAFETY to the citizens of the U.S.? Or he does but cares as much for that as he did when he was Mexico’s president...We don’t need his stinkin’ opinion!

Calderon is terrified that the gig is up.

He and his looter buddies in Polanco have been dumping their problems on us for 4 decades now and using the hissing campaign when anyone tries to stop it.

Trump appears immune to this. They’re in shock.

An ex Mexican president vs. an American hopeful.

Shows how much Trump is feared already. I like.

How about starting a GoFundMe for it? That would be hilarious.

We give aid to Mexico. The easiest thing t do is to reduce the aid and redirect funds to build. Of course those who want the illegals to come in will not do this. I think Trump will do it and characterize it as Mexico paying.

Mr. Calderon might just get to learn a lesson about negotiation in a few months.
