I think I see Trump behind this request.
Not satire, the words of Marcelo Ebrard (Incoming Minister of Foreign Affairs)
Mexico accepts housing migrants, seeks US development aid
By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN and E. EDUARDO CASTILLO November 28, 2018
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) “As Mexico wrestles with what to do with more than 5,000 Central American migrants... President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obradors government signaled Tuesday that it would be willing to house the migrants on Mexican soil while they apply for asylum in the United States a key demand of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Mexicos new foreign minister also called on the Trump administration to contribute to development projects to help create jobs in Central America to stem the flow of migrants from the impoverished region, suggesting an appropriate figure would start at $20 billion.”
You didn’t need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: “Don Corleone, give me justice.” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to do murder for money.
“[Asks US for $20 Billion]”
Heh.....no.
Send the bill to George $oreA$$ and his elite Dem thugs in Congress and Follywood.
Call Soros and send him the bill.
“....$30K per day is a lot of rice and beans...”
That works out to 5k per invader per day. Hell, for that price, I could be an invader for a few weeks. The TJ mayor can just suck it!
Mexico has an invader problem on its northern border, because Mexico failed (miserably) to properly protect its southern border. Mexico can use its own Pesos to clean up the mess created by Mexico’s negligence.
yep Mexico wants in on the raping of americans
“Dump goods at the border....American made and grown goods”?
My position is “THEY SHALL RECEIVE NOTHING, IN ABUNDANCE”!
The answer is simple: do NOT support those men so they can stand around, play soccer, twiddle their thumbs.
Tijuana has 4,000 MEN - meaning they have an excellent work force that can do the jobs nobody wants to do while they wait their turn at the gate. If there are jobs to be had, they can support themselves. Single women can do the same.
I vote NO on sending money to support lazy free-loaders who just want to come into the USA to suck off the teats of the American taxpayers. No more!
6 thousand migrants/day = $30K/day? that’s higher than US rates
the messican govt and the guat govt and the Hondo govt. Why’s he asking the US? not our citizens
How about asking Ecuador and Colombia and Venezuela and Guatemala and Honduras? You know, the places these mooches came from?
I wondered how long it would be for someone to make an @$$ of them-self.
30 K a day. Looks like about $5 a day per Illegal.
Democrats.
I don’t think Mexico understood just how much of a problem this would become. My guess was that there would be a humanitarian disaster in the middle of Mexico because supplies would run out.
Then the Mob changed course and secured transport to Tijuana where the same thing will happen.
