Because of Trudeau keeping the borders wide open for a wave of immigration from Central America?
Seriously though... all the Mexican Govt. is going to do is pay for a wall.
Why would it pay for it?

Because it would not stop the flow of illegal immigrants from all over the world through the Mexican interior, it's southern border, and the U.S-Mexican Border.
Now they will pay.
So you honestly think Mexico will just happily pay for the wall?
My guess is Mexico would rather the US just slap tariffs on Mexican imports than voluntarily pay for the wall. do you take Nieto for an imbecile?
Oh not at all... they are going to be BS.
Nevertheless... they will pay.
There are many ways that they can and will pay and that may be one of them. But they are going to pay.
That's my point. Businesses will pass the cost on to US consumers. So in reality, it's US consumers who will pay, not Mexico.
The high tariffs mean that their products will be less affordable. U.S businesses will go elsewhere for the same products. Maybe even Canada.![]()
By the Mexican President merely cancelling a meeting with President Trump the Mexican Peso went into a tailspin.
They're going to pay... oh yes.
Canada urged to keep borders open amid Trump directives - The Globe and Mail
Refugee advocates are urging Canada to keep its borders open to the world’s most vulnerable people as U.S. President Donald Trump orders the construction of a wall with Mexico and cracks down on illegal immigration.
You don't think Justin would... I mean... would he?
I guess we'll all pay through wreaked economies.
And no, Canada will not benefit in the long term. yes, it might happen that Americans who bought Mexican buy more Canadian, but that won't be as efficient or price-effective. This will push costs up for US consumers, and consequently they'll buy less overall. meanwhile, with Canada exporting more to the US, our costs will go up too, making it more difficult for us to sell to Mexico. With mexico's costs plummeting with the peso, Canada will end up importing more from Mexico than it does now.
So in the end, the US will import less from Mexico and more from Canada. Canada will export more to the US but import more from Mexico. That will be the trend at least. due to transportation costs though, Canada's prices will go up too, so Canada will suffer through higher rates of inflation and interest rates. Thank Trump.
Just for the record, this journalist has confused illegal immigration with legal immigration.
a wall doesn't stop legal immigrants, only the ones illegal immigrants that want to cross at a non designated crossing point.
Furthermore, the refugee advocates are dumber than a sack of hammers if they don't realize that Canadian immigration policy is formed independently from the US.
