Mexico still isn't going to pay "for that f*****g wall," former Mexican president says (video)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mexico...r-that-fg-wall-former-mexican-president-says/
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox "absolutely" stands by what he famously said a couple of years back-- that Mexico is not going to pay "for that f*****g wall" that President Trump frequently touts as the solution to illegal immigration. Fox's indignation about footing the bill for the wall emanates from Mr. Trump's equally frequent claims that that Mexico will pay for it.
He was asked by CBS News' Major Garrett on "The Takeout" podcast whether his sentiment about the wall still stands.
"Absolutely, yes, because it had to be expressed," Fox said, explaining that it's a feeling "when you're offended, when your dignity is pisoteada (trampled), when all Mexicans have been offended that way, but more so because it's not the answer to the problem of migration."
===================================================
I don't know from where Trump pulled this 'Mexico paying for the wall' campaign promise but it's never going to happen.
