Too funny…. apparently Mexican Economy Minister Graciela Marquez didn’t watch what happened to China (or Canada) when they made similar threats of retaliation against President Trump’s tariffs. Seriously. President Trump wants the border secure, yes. However, President Trump would also welcome a trade tariff battle with Mexico (they can’t win); so this isn’t a technically a threat from the position of POTUS:(Snip) Now, if Mexico intended to fulfill its end of the recent border and immigration agreement, the tariffs would be a moot point. So why are Mexican officials even contemplating a tariff war?

The narco state threatens America. Maybe, just maybe, the anti-American left democrats will wake up.

Then we should release all the illegals we have in custody and cause a stampede across the border into Mexico. Let Mexico catch the mumps, measles, chickenpox. polio, leprosy, H1N1 and Ebola just to name a few.

It’s complete idiocy not to recognize that Mexicans, both illegally and legally in the USA, have been unlawfully importing and distributing all sorts of dangerous illicit narcotics throughout the country and have been responsible for the deaths and disablement of huge numbers of American citizens.
Clearly that continues to happen because huge numbers of people, in the USA, Mexico, and elsewhere, have and are directly and indirectly profiting handsomely, both monetarily and politically from the felonious criminal activities related to the smuggling and distribution of huge amounts of illicit drugs and millions of illegal aliens, criminal activities that have been and are continued to be controlled by international criminal smuggling cartels, mostly based in Mexico, with tentacles reaching into immigrant communities in all parts of the USA.

Then we make it illegal to send $$'s from the US to Latin America, specifically Mexico.

Woo woo. American consumers are shaking in their boots.
We should tax the remittances sent by illegal invaders back to Mexico and Central America at a 75-80 percent rate.

We shouldn't take any lip from Mexico, and I don't expect President Trump will. The Art of the Deal is still in play. We need a MAGA win on this one, however draconian. One thing the public can do is boycott Mexican vacations (my husband and I have already done that, although we've enjoyed the beach resorts in the past).

Avocados are over-rated. The American (and other) manufacturers who set up in mariachi land will move to Texas. Retaliation my butt. Trump has said, and I believe it that he can and will simply shut the door (border)

One thing Americans should know and never forget is that
Mexico is not our ally. Mexicans are taught in school that we
stole half their country. The fact is Mexico had possession of
California for 25 years (1821-1846) and did absolutely nothing
with it. Mexicans built no new roads, no towns, no farms or
improvements at all. It was the Spaniards who established
everything with Spanish names in our Southwest.

Go for it, Mexicans, Go for it. I'd love for all Mexican goods to be
off the shelves in our stores.

Well #10, Texas is increasingly looking like mariachi land too. I do believe that (finally) many Texans are getting tired of the Mexican government’s lip and utter disrespect toward America. They are NOT our ally.
