Mexican government fails to relalize that the need for Mexico was replaced years ago by China. Drugs and their own citizens are their main exports. If Mexico wants to talk tough, Trump just needs to cut off the US taxpayer funded welfare of Mexican citizens, aka health care, schools food stamps, etc.

Some here appear to be underestimating greatly the amount of damage it would do the US economy. Neither would Mexico start a trade war either, BTW. Their threats are pretty empty, because the last thing they need right now is high unemployment combined with a wall preventing their poor from escaping to America to find jobs. It would be like sealing a lid on a defective pressure cooker and turning up the heat to high. Remember the Mexican Ag minister's threat a couple of weeks ago to stop buying US corn? Pure bluster. When corn prices spiked about 5-6 years ago due to the US ethanol fuel program, it produced numerous protests and a few riots in Mexico. Now imagine what would happen if there were no corn to be had at any price. The wealthy Mexican elites who have run the country since the last revolution do not want to see that happen, because it would not end well for them. |

Mehico is playing a costly game they have zero chance of winning. Mehico you wanna get your shit pushed in? Because that's how you get your shit pushed in. Completely paying for the wall and being a true ally by helping to curb illegal immigration would be far less costly. 100% accurate. They're stomping their feet and crying because they are used to getting EVERYTHING. They've been able to pawn some of their worst citizens off on us, they get to fuck us on trade deals, fuck us on tariffs, and their economy thrives upon cash from their citizens who come here illegally, work, and send money home. It must be the most one sided deal in the history of the world, and hopefully it comes to an end. |
