| Former Mexican president: 'I'm not going to pay for that 'expletive' wall' | ||
| 2016-02-26 | ||
"I'm not going to pay for that f--king wall," Vicente Fox told Fusion's Jorge Ramos during an interview Thursday. "He should pay for it. He's got the money," Fox said of Trump, the billionaire-turned-Republican presidential front-runner. Upon being asked if he fears Trump will succeed in his bid for the White House and what that would mean for Mexico, Fox said "democracy can not take that." | ||

| #12 "Expletive" walls don't weather well considering their assumed construction materials. Mr. Trump will use concrete and steel. |

| #11 So how does Mexico pay for it? (1) Just charge every person entering the USA twenty dollars a day entry fee. If you have ever seen the entry lines at the various crossings you know that Donald can collect a lot of money. And suppose Mexico counters? So what? (2) Charge a 5% fee on the total that Mexican citizens workking in the USA remit to Mexico. That should equal about $500 million annually. And if a Mexican is found sending money illegally, sequester the whole amount. |

| #9 I've said for decades that a wall will force political reform on Mexico. The Oligarchs don't want that so naturally they wouldn't be happy. |

| #6 Takes me back to the Mariel Boatlift. Castro got rid of a lot of 'undesirables' back then. Mehican government playing the same game with their open-border needs? The 'greedy' ones move north and don't disturb the status-quo of the other peons in DF or Jalisco. Perhaps too, if there was a wall, the dirty-dollars wouldn't 'flow south' to a select few quite as easily? |

| #5 It won't be built. I'd like to say that means nobody will pay for it, but I'm pretty sure the US taxpayer will. |

| #4 Foxy is using the same language that he typically uses around his Cartel amigos. |

| #3 Wonder if his homes and estates have walls? Given that kidnapping and ransom are conducted at a business level in Mexico, I'd bet on 'yes'. |

| #2 Kinda strange that he doesn't like this wall. He must have something invested in it not being there. |

| #1 Mexico can be made to pay via a special "Vicente's wall building" tax levied at source against beneficiaries of all cash remittances from USA to Mexico - whether it is immigrants trying to remit money back to Mexico, or US companies seeking to pay for goods imported from Mexico. |
