[FoxNews] Provisional plans for President Donald Trump to host his Mexican counterpart in Washington have been put on hold, White House officials said Saturday.
Trump and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto spoke for 50 minutes Tuesday, but reached a deadlock when Trump said he wouldn’t publicly acknowledge Mexico’s refusal to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, Reuters reported. That ain't Julie Andrews According to a Mexican official, Trump lost his temper during the conversation because he thought it was unreasonable for Pena Nieto to want Trump to back off from the idea. Trump’s promise to make Mexico pay for the wall was a staple of his 2016 campaign for the presidency. Trump has since requested $23 billion in his latest budget proposal to Congress ‐ the majority of which would go toward building the wall. | |

| #4 Mexicans sent home $26.1 billion from January to November 2017, according to figures released Tuesday by the central bank of Mexico. American wages appear to be the second largest income stream to the Mexican economy. We take their least skilled people and subsidize them with healthcare and welfare and they get our money. How stupid are we? |

| #3 Mexican Constitution - Foreigners Article 33. Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualifications set forth in Article 30. They are entitled to the guarantees granted by Chapter I, Title I, of the present Constitution; but the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action. Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country. Nuff said. The man is bitching that the Gringos are cutting of the dumping grounds that have allowed the ruling caste in Mexico to avoid reform or revolution for generations. |
