Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto says that “of course” his country will not pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. President-elect Donald Trump insists that Mexico will pay for the structure.
Pena Nieto said during a gathering of Mexico’s ambassadors and consuls that it’s evident his country has “some differences with the next government of the United States, like the topic of the wall that Mexico of course will not pay for.”
He adds that “basic principles” like “our sovereignty” are “not negotiable.”
Trump insisted at a press conference Wednesday that Mexico will indeed pay for the wall he wants to build along the southern border to stop illegal immigration.
Pena Nieto says that any negotiations with the U.S. must include a commitment to stop the flow of illegal arms and money from the U.S. into Mexico.

Not to worry. Trump will keep repeating the same nareshkeit over and over like he did today while sticking the taxpayers with billions of dollars in construction costs for a wall that all the experts say will do very little in terms of deterring illegal border crossings.But again, in this new world, you repeat a lie long enough and frequently enough, the sheeplach will believe it and never notice the line item in their tax bills for a wall along the Rio Grande.
Nobody believed ford will cancel their plans to build cars in Mexico
There is a far better way of controlling the border – the ine employed for millennia.
Put up notices that anyone crossing the international border illegally will be shot, as an invader. It does sound draconian, but it won’t have to be carried out more than few times.
Even the uneducated campesinos will easily comprehend the nature of consequences, and stay home.
At the very least, instead of being turned back twenty times, they should be immediately arrested and placed in detention for a while, THEN sent back. This invasion has to stop.
Maybe he can get his pal Putin to pay for it. If that doesn’t work out, just about anyone of his cabinet appointees can afford it, no problem.
Trump should ban all trade from Mexico until the wall is built and paid for!!
If the US agreed not to retaliate, they could pay for it with a tariff (tax) on American goods being sold to Mexicans. Mexico is one of the leading markets for American goods and services, and if the US cuts off Mexico, Mexico can cut off the US. And what’s worse for the US, the American jobs lost in such a situation would probably be better jobs (since they involve high quality, expensive exports) than the jobs gained by cutting off Mexican imports to the US (which tend to be low-end, low-margin goods).
