Mexico fumes at 'hostile' Trump immigration rules as U.S. talks loom

We should tell the liberals if they don't like the USA, then move to Canada. See how many try.

And I'm telling you that Mexico must stop telling their citizens how to break US law. What they are essentially doing is approving of an invasion of the US and in my opinion their behavior is ground for retaliation. The US government should make it very clear to Mexico that they either stop providing assistance to their people in their efforts to break US immigration law or they will be forced to do.

I'm a pretty anti-war guy, but government approved invasions of other countries is a serious offense that I have no problem stopping by force.

A sensible agreement with Mexico about what the USA and Mexico both expect in the area of illegal immigration and both respecting the other's laws would go a long way toward facilitating ease of getting travel visas for citizens of both countries to visit and do business with the other.

I agree that when the Mexican government is providing official information including maps on safe routes across the desert to the USA, where water supplies can be found, and how to avoid detection, that government is not a friend of the United States. And they are aided and abetted by leftwing wackos and their fellow illegal countrymen here instructing them on how to access government services and settle in. That too should be illegal.

You nailed it when you characterized it as government approved and assisted invasion of our country by a foreign government.

Dear Mexico. You let these aliens travel through your country unfettered.
You can damn well take them back.

Dear Mexico

We just want the same immigration laws that you have.

While I realize they have a much smaller illegal population than us, does this mean Canada can dump their illegals off in the US?

I hear the Minnesota Somolians are high tailing it to Canada fearing deportation back to the horrors
of their homeland. Wait till Winnipeg gets a taste of those guys. After that Canada may want to put
up their own wall along the Minnesota border.

Okay Kal', if you deem this as something long overdue, not obviously problematic and merely enforcing existing immigration laws... and you feel safe visiting the Mexican border this year, I sure hope you post us, your DP colleagues, a report.
I believe in an earlier post, you referenced a 2005 (GW era) Mexican pamphlet on 'how to cross the border illegally and remain undetected" as evidence that the Mexican government created this problem. You appear to support this new immigration laws enforcement strategy. I see it as an obvious invitation for conflict.. and in my personal life I try to pick and choose my battles. I could of joined the military in 1973 and maybe deployed to Vietnam. I chose not to.

It's not "new". It has existed for decades. Obama chose to ignore it and that magnified the problem into what we have today. Thanks Obama.

Depends on how much bribe money is given to Mexican authorities.

Considering they encouraged their citizens to break US law they should be happy they aren't getting a bomb up their ass.

Don't be ridiculous. That doesn't justify a bombing campaign.

It's a government approved invasion. Having your nation invaded by another nation isn't something to take lightly.

You can't allow nations to aid and abet their citizens in breaking your immigration laws. The fact that the US government knows Mexico is involved in this behavior and is doing nothing about it is unacceptable, imho.

My bad for poorly communicating. Trump's imprecise speaking style may have begun to seep into my syntax. I meant to say "... enforce existing immigration laws with a new (as in differently than the lax enforcement of the Obama Administration) enforcement strategy."

Can't say that I will be visiting the Mexican border. No plans to and no money to. I live along the Canadian border and such a visit would cost more money that I can possibly afford. That said, yeah, I'd have no problem visiting the southern border either now or a year from now.

Based on this study, the total state tax revenue attributable to immigrant workers was an
estimated $2.4 billion (about $860 million for naturalized citizens plus about $1.5 billion for
non-citizens). Balanced against incremental fiscal costs of $1.4 billion for education, health
care, and law enforcement, immigrants in Arizona generated a net 2004 fiscal contribution
of about $940 million toward services such as public safety, libraries, road maintenance,
and other areas.[/URL]

I've got my own studies also...

You missed it, they are not asking for help, they are helping themselves. Yer confusing Mexican workers with Syrian refugees. Beyond that, yer not interested in "helping" US citizens either.

Bold: Exactly. They're helping themselves without asking. THAT is the problem. And its costing us.

As for your sideswipe there at the end of that....don't even attempt that crap.
