Hopefully that new trade deal will include the US exporting 20-25 million bottom of the barrel Mexican citizens back to Mexico, permanently. they’ve had their fun here, but now it is time for them to go home. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer will have to pay retail to get their lawn mowed.

Even if they’re top-of-the barrel Mexicans, if they’re here illegally they need to go. If they followed the rules, I have no problem with them.

I,personally,would like to see the southern border sealed tighter than a drum....no people *or* goods moving in either direction.

November looks better from here. Canada's Trudeau now has to get down here and lick some ass.

I hope this means he already has a deal he can take and is just tweaking it and hoping to make it a bit better.

Hopefully, it will include a tariff on imports and a tax on remittances to pay for the wall.

Maybe he is contracting with Mexico to construct a wall on their northern border.

The Dems will do everything they can to block any deal. Note how the Obamunists and Clintonistas are following Trump around, tellling leaders not to deal with him, because he won’t be around much longer.

Good. He needs to get the focus back on good news for the last week before the real fall campaign starts.

I think Mexico wants it done before the new guy comes in, so they’re both interested in getting it consummated quickly.

i would not trust a wall built by another country as our protection. I don’t know why people suggest this, have a country who has been harming us for decades be involved with some thing so important as protection of our country and citizens? Mexico has already shown us they don’t care about our country or citizens just what they can get for free/cheap from us.

If that is true, let’s hope that it’s American engineers who do the inspections.

They may be in for a bit of a shock, those traitors.

Well, one may supervise to see if they build it as well as the one they built on their border with Guatemala. (To be sarcastic.)

I wouldn’t mind a canal stretching from the Rio Grande to San Diego. Carter’s move of relinquishing the Panama Canal to Panama to then be handed over to the Red Chinese was the beginning of the end of the Monroe Doctrine, which needs to be reasserted, not to mention a far more draconian physical southern border needs to be in place.

Partner, we r in 100% agreement on this Illegals issue.

What do they not understand about the word "Illegal"???

My friends are telling me that we have a lot more "Illegals than 25 Million!!!" This really gets me so upset that I will start drinking my Scotch Rat Now!!!

We need to start shouting at the top of our lungs that we need to build a Southern Border Wall (2 tiered wall with road in between) from San Diego, CA. to Brownsville, Texas. We have been waiting for 32 long years now since the walls funding was put into the budget in Congress!

We really are grateful that President Trump is building part of the "Southern Border Wall" right now and we do have the prototypes that are built to choose from and to build on. It really helps when you have a builder for a POTUS.

These "Moron Rats" still do not get it!!!

A growing economy in Mexico will draw them back.
