Mexican Foreign Minister Calls Trump’s Idea of Mexico Paying for Border Wall ‘Absurd’
By QUINN OWEN Aug 7, 2016, 11:56 AM ET
Mexico’s foreign minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu dismissed Republican candidate Donald Trump’s campaign promise that her government would pay for a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
“Well, that's absurd; we would never consider that,” Ruiz Massieu said in an interview with ABC News chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl.
“I think that's the real issue here. It's not a problem about a wall. It is a problem about narrow minds,” she said. “We have a very integrated economy that would suffer greatly if we place barriers into that dynamic.”
She also rejected Donald Trump’s characterization of Mexican immigrants in his presidential announcement speech last summer. She said the Mexican community is contributing to the United States’ “development and growth.”
When Trump announced his presidential bid in June 2015, he famously said, “When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best… They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
“I really have to object to that characterization,” Mexico's foreign minister said. “Our community in the United States is comprised of over 35 million people; not only thousands of agricultural workers…but increasingly, professional and highly trained people.”
Ruiz Massieu said Mexican Americans across professional industries have a large, positive impact on the U.S. economy.
“We're talking about lawyers,” she said. “We're talking about designers in Silicon Valley. We're talking about medical professionals. We're talking about Oscar winners. We're talking about people that are contributing through their work.”
Despite her criticisms, she maintained the Mexican government would work with any U.S. president elected this November, including Donald Trump.
“Mexico and the United States have such a strong and intertwined relationship that's multidimensional, that involves so many actors at so many different levels. It really transcends any political juncture and any one person,” she said.

The teachings in their schools via a comic book of how to sneak in, what to say, etc, etc is over a decade old and has worked to educate their peons re sneaking into USA. If our gov't did not want it this way, it would not be happening.
“We're talking about lawyers,” she said. “We're talking about designers in Silicon Valley. We're talking about medical professionals. We're talking about Oscar winners. We're talking about people that are contributing through their work.”

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you that Mexico doesn't want to pay for the wall! Well, that's too bad because when we elect Donald J Trump the 45th President of the United States, Mexico will be paying for the wall, every dime of it, one way or another.
MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR THE WALL!

Several years ago I read that there was 35 million illegals in the USA in a central America news paper. probably more like 50 million now. They lie to us all the time and cover up the numbers. Get them out of Washington. Yet it is fine for them to have strict immigration laws sometimes costing many their lives trying to get to the USA.

There is an additional point to be made here. Those who say that Trump isn't really going to do what he says he is going to should note that he has the attention of the Mexican government. They believe him, so should everyone else.
