webfact Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Enrique Peña Nieto: Mexico will not pay for Donald Trump's wallBy Everton GayleMEXICO CITY: -- The Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto says his country will not pay for Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the US-Mexico border – and likened the Republican candidate to Hitler and Mussolini.Peña has made clear his opposition to the New York billionnaire. When asked about his opinion, the Mexican President said he regretted the proposed plan and he could not see a scenario where his country would pay for its construction. In comments that were published in the Excelsior Newspaper, he went on to say:“There have been episodes in human history, unfortunately, where these expressions of this strident rhetoric have only led to very ominous situations in the history of humanity. That’s how Mussolini got in, that’s how Hitler got in”Peña’s comments were among the most critical yet by a foreign leader of Trump.The US Republican frontrunner made headlines when he made a campaign pledge to build a wall along the southern US border to keep out illegal immigrants and drugs, and to make Mexico pay for it.He also upset his neighbours by describing them as “rapists”.Speaking after winning seven states on Super Tuesday, Trump compared his proposition with the Great Wall of China: “The wall is 13,000 miles long, we need a thousand miles. And we have all of the materials and we can do it so beautifully. And this is going to be a serious wall, this is going to be a high wall, this is going to be a serious wall.”Peña said instead of building walls he wanted to build “bridges of understanding” between the two countries in a mutually respectful way. -- (c) Copyright Euronews 2016-03-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankee99 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Lots of candidates say this and that. Personally i am 100% confident if trump is president Mexico will pay. Trump will just tax them or they will write a check. Mexico should just build and it would be a Mexican government stimulus package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro01 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 They'll pay for it. As has been said - taxes on imports or an adjustment to trade agreements will see Mexico pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Traveller Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The leader of a corrupt 3rd world violent crime ridden hub of human trafficking complaining about an international barrier being built.

helpisgood Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If Trump wins the White House (or "The Trump House"), will Canada build a wall on its US border and charge Trump for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If Trump wins the White House (or "The Trump House"), will Canada build a wall on its US border and charge Trump for it? Why would Canada build a wall with the USA border, are there 12 million illegal aliens there from the US taking jobs and committing crimes? But, wish they would, that socialist government running Canada is importing more Muslims from radical countries than the EU and Merkel is this year. Would be easy for radical muslims to enter the USA that way. Plus between Canada and the US there exists true and free trade benefitting both countries greatly.

bassman Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 "Peña said instead of building walls he wanted to build “bridges of understanding” between the two countries in a mutually respectful way." Hope Prez Pena builds his bridge of understanding and he uses it to liberate his 12 million illegals who have crossed over already, sure would be a welcoming jester from him.

Publicus Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Maybe Mexico could build a wall around Tijuana. All's fair in love and war. Or relocate Tijuana to Arizona the other side of the wall. Next to where the original London Bridge is located. Might encourage the Thai junta to relocate Pattaya to Alabama and to pay for a wall around it. Put the Ten Commandments ten metres high at the bus terminal. Something for the Trump folks to think about at their prayer meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpisgood Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Yeah, we need more walls! And why hasn't anyone mentioned moats? Maybe put some sharks or crocs in them. (almost forgot) Edited March 9, 2016 by helpisgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbanda Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Trump do not want to talk about a taped conversation with the media telling that he was "kidding" about the wall project, and he just used it to gain votes. He said on it that he do not pretend to build any wall. The recording is online for everyone to listen. Again...another calculated "change of mind" at the moment he needs more Hispanic supporters. Trump takes Demagogy to high levels. He is repeating every time he can, that he is paying for his campaign with his own money.... Sound very nice, but... on his campaign web site it is a place for people's donations.....just $50 x for....millions???? Trump is having the time of his life. He not also is making money in his campaign, he may get the Presidency...and ....if not...he will find the way to take the Republican Party, the Media, the other Candidates, everyone he can....to court..to sued them for "damages"... and wait for another chance in 4 years. Anyway..he is a comedian and he is having a lot of fun!!! That is the "Trump Way"... Edited March 9, 2016 by umbanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Of course it is semantics. Trump can charge everyone who crosses the boarder into the US 10-20 dollars, all goods being shipped across the boarder could also be charged. Not a tax but a crossing fee. Of course many of those people would be Americans but they could wave the fee for Americans. Mexico may retaliate with similar charges but if it gets expensive for Americans to go across the boarder they will stop going. Not so good for Mexico. The Donald could very well get his way no matter what Mexico says. The Mexican government has always supported the illegal crossing of the boarder giving tips by Mexican government officials on how to make the crossing as safely as possible, routes, carrying water and food, appropriate clothing and foot ware. While the comments The Donald made about Mexican boarder runners is/was incendiary it is not without fact but taken largely out of context. Many women crossing have reported being raped and robbed, and many illegal migrants carry bales of marijuana or black-tar heroin for money to finance there crossing/start in the USA.

eggers Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 What's Thumper Trump going do now?? Mexico said g*t s*****d, slug someone else with a tax!!.

chuckd Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The wall is estimated to cost $10 Billion. The Mexican central bank has stated the amount of money transferred by Mexican nationals from the US to Mexico amounted to $23.6 Billion in 2014. A simple 3% fee on those transfers would collect $708 Million per year. In a few years, Mexico has paid for the wall. El Presidente needs to keep his opinions back on his side of the Rio Grande and try to correct his own problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggt Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 This may be fun to watch if Trump is elected as President... The wall will be built...the Mexicans will "indirectly" pay for it... Enrique Pena Nieto will say: "What just happened?" and "How did he do that?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Trump proves again how not to be decent or diplomatic. He offends Mexicans and their leader. He clashed with the Pope. He ridiculed a reporter who has handicapped arms and hands. The Trump repeats, "I get along with everyone. Everyone likes me." After winning his first state, NH, he assured the crowd, "you will be sooooo happy with me." Yes, that's probably what he initially said to his 3 wives when he wanted to legally screw them. If he's elected, he will have a mandate to legally screw the American people - or at least the 'losers' who have less money than him. .....the he can go on to screw up relations with leaders of other countries, and maybe start a few wars to show the world what a big dick he has is.

They don't have to pay directly to have paid. If they refuse and, in order to finance construction, tariffs are imposed on products imported from Mexico, they've still paid, because the resulting loss in revenue will force businesses to move back to the U.S., equaling a transfer of wealth which, in time, will pay for the wall a number of times over. They pay one way or another, see? By all means, though, keep up the name calling, it does wonders for his poll numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
