Mexico's president-elect thanks Trump, says pair will 'reach an understanding'

Mexico’s president-elect, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, on Monday thanked President Trump for congratulating him on his election win and said the pair will “reach an understanding," according to The Associated Press.

López Obrador, who triumphed in Sunday’s presidential election over the ruling PRI party, is a leftist who has previously criticized Trump. He wrote a book titled "Oye, Trump" ("Listen Up, Trump"), which criticizes the U.S. president's plans to build a wall along the U.S. southern border.

Trump tweeted his congratulations to López Obrador on Monday.

"I look very much forward to working with [Lopez Obrador]," Trump tweeted on Monday. "There is much to be done that will benefit both the United States and Mexico!"

López Obrador described the congratulations as “very respectful.”

“We are never going to disrespect the U.S. government, because we want them to respect us," López Obrador said in an interview with the news network Televisa, according to the AP. “At the appropriate moment, we are going to get in touch, to reach an understanding.”

Winning? I hope so, because I’m not even a little bit tired of it.

Understanding? Mexico is responsible for anyone crossing into US from Mexico. Either they stop it or we close the border and all commerce. More? Mexico should prepare and take back the 25% of its citizens that are infesting the US.

Now that the radical left has power in Mexico, the economy will take a dive and there will be a surge of migrants heading to the US. Better build that wall quick and expand ICE.

What kind of leader *want* his people to leave?
"Yeah Mexico sucks, go make a living anywhere else and I'll back you up.
Oh, and bring your kids and any street punks you can find, we don't want them either."

If you really wanted to make things interesting....go down to the major universities in Mexico with a US HR team, and seek to recruit their best and brightest for jobs in the US. Take an entire generation into the US. By summer of next year, we will be onto Trump’s next million (we are 3.2 million jobs now) jobs.

Very true, and that includes realizing AMLO is stuck between a rock (Trump) and several hard places - the cartels, AMLO's communist "supporters" and Mexico's economy.

I have a feeling that Trump is going to solve the illegal crossing problem by the fact that it is not the PRI that he is dealing with now in Mexico.

Yup. Just like what he did to Romney, he has the Vito Corleone rule down to a science. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

One good thing is leftists always increase the welfare spending to buy votes, so more of their free stuff crowd will stay there. Give bums free food and they never leave.

And drill ANWR, because any moves toward privatizing oil in Mexico will cease.

"...[Mestizos] are dark-skinned, usually of low intelligence - typically having an I.Q. of 80 (70 is considered borderline retardation) - of relative short stature compared to those of a purely Spanish ancestry, and most often account for the criminal element in Mexican society."

Oh really? I happen to be an American of Mestizo heritage and my IQ and that of most of my family is quite high, never been in jail, and served in our nations military. What is your evidence for this?

The only agreement needed is: you keep your filthy illegals on your side of the fence, which you will pay for.
