Mexico president urges North American integration after Brexit

Posted on 06/27/2016 10:03:51 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday called for greater integration with Canada and the United States in the wake of Britain's vote to split with the European Union.

Nieto, who spoke during a stopover in Quebec City, is scheduled to attend a North American leaders summit in Ottawa on Wednesday with his US and Canadian counterparts.

The three countries are economic partners in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and work closely on security matters.

At Wednesday's summit, the leaders are expected to announce joint energy and environmental strategies, including matching renewable energy targets.

"The purpose of this visit is to renew our bilateral relationship, to give it new life, to find ways to advance the prosperity and competitiveness of North America," Pena Nieto said.

"I think what is happening elsewhere in the world invites us to strengthen our strategic alliance and especially to be much more inclusive," he said in response to questions about the so-called Brexit decision.

Britain's shocking vote to quit the European Union has abruptly shoved itself onto the summit agenda.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Barack Obama had both called on Britain to stay in the EU.

The Brexit decision has roiled financial markets and triggered deep uncertainty over how the divorce will play out, in Europe and elsewhere.

Pena Nieto is scheduled to dine with Trudeau in Toronto in the evening before the pair head to Ottawa to meet with Obama on Wednesday.

On the first day of his state visit, Pena Nieto also signaled Mexico's intention to join a fledgling continental carbon market with Quebec, Ontario and the US state of California.

He is also expected to announce matching cuts to US methane emissions, which Canada agreed to in March.

Who didn’t see this bull**** coming? This is why Brexit was so important and the communists are so pissed off about it.

What do Mexico and Canada have to offer us that we would want to integrate with them?

If Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto did a better job of providing opportunities to his citizens, they wouldn’t be trying to cross into the USA. In other words, the Mexican leaders are to blame for their failures. Mexico has almost as many natural resources as the USA. There is no excuse for their failure unless they consider themselves inferior.

So let’s not mince words. You’re calling for an increased invasion of the U.S. right Mr. Mexican President? And I’m sure Obama has told you that the borders will be wide open too. Am I right?

Because they’re probably being paid by Soros not to get it. He and Satan want their NWO with Astana (Satana) as the new world capital.

sorry, Mexico, but we want a divorce, too. Better scurry back to the elitist snobs in Mexico City and let them know, your poor people are coming home and they will expect Mexico to support them in the manner they’ve become accustomed to. Y’all better get busy.

Why would we want to shackle ourselves to the chronic problem called Mexico? Despite a wealth of natural resources, those people just can’t seem to get it together. They already foist their losers on us, thereby costing us zillions. Can you imagine a formal union with them? NOOOOOOO!!!

If Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto did a better job of providing opportunities to his citizens, they wouldn’t be trying to cross into the USA.........the Mexican leaders are to blame for their failures.

According to the govt of Mexico, illegals on US soil are, in fact, Mexican citizens.

AFFIDAVIT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
IN A SWORN AFFIDAVIT TO A US COURT, MEXICO SWORE
THAT MEXICANS ON US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico/s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system...... declaring that Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.

The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad."

=========================================

NOTE This also wipes out anchor babies......as well as Secy, Jeh Johnson and Obama's assertions WRT Obama's amnesty dictat that illegals have essentially "become American" b/c they go to school, have licenses to drive, and can even practice law in California.

Maybe Canada and Mexico can integrate. The Canuks need hot sauce. The Mexicans need ice.

I think they get it completely. Maybe it's all designed to make America a third world country. They get it.
