Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray doesn’t want illegal immigrants entering into Mexico — via the United States. As part of Trump’s plan in dealing with illegal immigrants, any illegal migrant entering via Mexico will be sent back into Mexico, irrespective of whether he/she is a Mexican national. This small detail, which seems perfectly reasonable to any rational person, is driving Mexican officials insane.
Why?
Ironically, they don’t want any god damned illegals in their country.

A Mexican official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic matters, said that Pena Nieto, Videgaray and other officials will make clear to Kelly and Tillerson that Mexico will not take deportees who are not Mexican nationals.
A second Mexican official emphasized that Mexico is not bound by a US presidential order and said there’s nothing the US can do to force the issue. This official pointed out that there is no bilateral agreement between the US and Mexico on having to take these immigrants.
This official said that for more than two years, Mexico has been stopping Central American migrants before they reach the US — and added that this is one of the pieces of leverage they have. If Trump doesn’t stop these “orders,” it will make it more difficult for Mexico to continue this cooperation, the official said.
CNN’s unnamed sources from deep within the bowels of the Mexican government are threatening to open the floodgates for Central American illegals to stream into the United States, if Trump doesn’t rescind his immigration deportation plans. In other words, Mexico believes it’s perfectly fine for the United States to accept an unlimited amount of illegals, but they don’t want any of them.
“I want to say clearly and emphatically that the government of Mexico and the Mexican people do not have to accept provisions that one government unilaterally wants to impose on the other,” he told reporters at the Foreign Ministry.
He said the issue would dominate the talks, taking place on Wednesday and Thursday. Mexico will insist that the United States proves the nationality of any person it wants to deport to Mexico, he said.
“We also have control of our borders and we will exercise it fully,” he said, adding that Mexico was prepared to go the United Nations to defend the freedoms and rights of Mexicans under international law.
Roberto Campa, who heads the human rights department of the Interior Ministry, said the plan to deport non-Mexicans to Mexico was “hostile” and “unacceptable.”
Hypocrisy at its finest.

Mexico does not want Mexicans. Make sense of that.
Can’t blame them if they can’t stand each other.
Mexico will just have to build a wall to keep other Central American refugees from entering their country while on the way to the US. Perhaps Trump can give Mexico some pointers on how to keep the cost down.
Unfortunately Mexico will probably have to pay for the wall too.
Sounds like Mexico may need some Freedom in the near future.

“Ironically, they don’t want any god damned illegals in their country”
Trump is a master troll. Puts a provision in the executive order that forces them to accept illegals so that they will bitch about accepting illegals. Lol. Now he gets rid of the bathroom law so that the media will focus on that for three days while he does actual shit that matters.
I sat next to a Mexican lady on a plane yesterday and she was kind enough to remind me that Texas was once a part of Mexico. She was actually very kind, but she just had to let me know that Texas and all the Southwest including California rightly belonged to Mexico.
The proper response would have been, had I not been in the midst of stage 4 flu, “come and take it then.”
Even if Mexico managed to keep hold of that territory, the lady thinks they would be what they are today , nada. These states are what they are because of the American constitution, system of government and it’s semi-government central bank and finally its rule of law, what made those states great ,
The United States of America.
I’m English never lived in the USA, but I can see it’s greatness quite easily.
This country derived itself from England and the British Isles. We share the same system of law, the same religion, and largely the same genetics. Maybe that has something to do with it as well.
Hoisted on their own petard, methinks.
Like everyone is going to be carrying proper ID identifying their nationality. The only thing to do is send them back where they came from if they crossed the border illegally.
And Mexico belonged to the Aztec before the Spanish took it. Who gives a fuck, right? It’s ours now.
I think we should take Baja too. Lots of good coastline to develop.
