If US want tariff, mexico is no match to US. Mexico would tank right up when it play against US. Look at china now when US pull out. Trump only need mexico to stop the illegal and do some show and you will be safe from Tariff. Trying to act tough is not going to do wonder to mexico.

Mexico will give Trump what he wants.\nShe understands she really doesn't have a choice. \nKeep it up Trump

FUNNY how MEXICO doesn't want to assist migrants to STAY in Mexico.\nregardless of the abuse they have experienced in the home countries.

Mex Prez Sheinbaum is right. The drugs flow from and thru Mexico BECAUSE AMERICANS BUY THEM to consume them. Duh. Business success requires a market and Americans are the market for these drugs. Duh again. Is this drug use part of the appalling lack of brain power exhibited by voters this past election? They want a dictator who will starve, steal and harm them so they can suck up all the mind destroying drugs they can?

Mexican here living in Mexico let's close the borders and the business between our countries, let's see who survives ?? get China to provided all good and services we provide ohh yes also fighting with China ?? maybe Americans will do everything ohh wait how much you want to be pay by hour right? ??? you can't afford it, America must fall

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

Mexico wants to act tough? OK, stay third world then. You're done. The cartels run your shit anyway. I'd rather go overseas and be respected than to deal with Mexico next door and be disrespected.

How much has the Biden administration paid to Mexico ?? Last big deal with other Mexico president wanted 10 billion for central and south America. Drop sanctions against Venezuela , drop embargo on Cuba , and work permits for millions of undocumented illegals. Blinken and Mayorkas brought this back from a meeting last year.

Mexico didnt help at all on biden's presidency. Omg! They just started now or else we wont have more than 15 million in here. Here we go again CNN . Both illegals and economy are both #1. The USA citizens dont want to pay taxes any more on them no more federal, and state tax. No more illegals taking our jobs. No more freebies, no more free medical, no more free welfare, no more free programs. Were not paying for them for corporate greed. The democrats are always saying china. China, china, sorry no one wants to depend on china no more. We want our own made in USA. Instead of made in china.

be carefull with what trump is asking, Chevrolet ford and another american company stocks are down after president Sheinbaum mention the letter she is sending to trump, may be mexico should make a economy deal with china who wants to deal with a toxic goberment ?

Mexico's president is probably asking the cartel What should I do. What do you want me to do. We all know who really runs that country

The US is much more economically stronger than Mexico so the US would prevail. Also, what case does Mexico have? They don’t want to stop drugs or illegal entry into US? This will piss off Americans and they will vacation elsewhere- Mexico would not be able to weather a decrease in tourism or stopping the flow of American dollars sent home from illegal immigrants.

The reason border crossings has slowed down is because the corrupt Biden Administration has create a app so illegal aliens can schedule a flight from Mexico directly to any state they want to go to and bypass the Border

The nerve? not only do you let people come in through Mexico through our border? but do you want to be disrespected?? if this is what you call help, we rather have the military.?

there are persons in mexico who are responsable for 300,000 americans deaths, WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY \nHER ROLE WAS IN THAT!!.. was she incahoots with biden and harris??

The United States will crash Mexicos crappy economy if Sheinbaum wants to play games.

Now watch when trump supporters blame democrats cause tariffs raise prices. Not only does Trump want to climate migrant jobs, but he will eliminate all the money migrants and, yes, illegals spend on goods and services that greatly help our economy. We need Canada and Mexico more than they need us.

Yep. There are only 1,500 crossings captured compared to 10,000 a year ago. Trump just wants Mexico to get short end of the stick.

I don’t like trump but I agree with him in this issue. Mexico is doing this in purpose, they want usa to be destroyed. 25% tariff isn’t enough, should be much more .

It's called initial posturing. Mexico's done it before but they caved in big time and gave Trump what he wanted. The last thing Mexico wants is 25% tariffs on the goods they sell to the US.

The President of Mexico. She is a female and she is very smartcheck. Her background because she knows what's going on. And Donald Trump does not know the laws of the global. World, he just wants to do what he wants to do. I'm telling you everybody. It's going to be the roughest 4 years of everybody's life. You voted for this man. You wanted him and he's trying his best to do what he said. He's going, but he is going to fail miserably. There is no chance that he's going to winanything that he says that he's going to do. This is all the world makes deals and makes things go round and roundfor everybody. In this globe, sincerely yours watch out for all the hectics. Call me from elect president trumphe is going to hurt our The way we do things?????????

Mexico just proves to be yet another reason why women should never be voted into the highest office in their country. Call it sexist, misogynistic, or whatever you want. It's the truth. They never think about what their country needs or how much it hurts the ppl they're supposed to protect. They think their feelings make them right. Her response to Trump's tariffs is Exhibit A.

Let him make sure he doesn't violate Mexico's territorial integrity,they don't even fear their own Army,mind you half of the belonged to them,you don't wanna stir that hornets' nest,Latin America loves The US,you don't want open up that pandora's box...

Mexico has been imposing tariffs on Americans, and Mexican’s, for taking their cars over there for a long time. \n\nYou have to pay for a permit, along with a hefty deposit (depending on the vehicle year), to cross your vehicle into Mexico. You can cross into the border towns, but if you want to drive further in, you have to pay. \n\nThis is done to eliminate competition, instead of letting the market dictate the pricing. And if you don’t return your permit, you don’t get your deposit back and lose the ability to cross any vehicles for life. No, how is that fair?!\n\nAnd you STILL see Mexican nationals buying vehicles here, and just paying the hefty tariffs, just to legalize their American vehicles in Mexico. \n\nWe can just start there, and do the same thing to them. I don’t think they’d like that one bit.

If Trump does tariffs on Mexico we are F’d! Thanks to all the maga morons! I wonder how much of his supporters will support him once we feel the consequences of his policies. Deport millions of illegals-good luck with that! ??? show! Let’s see who wants to work American agriculture! Maybe Trump and his family? Followers? ???

So if Mexico and Canada somehow stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States \nis Trump in return going to bring in adequate gun control laws so that the flow of smuggled American guns into Mexico and Canada is stopped?\nMexico and Canada should demand that in return.\nSmuggled American guns are responsible for a huge proportion of the shootings and murders in Mexico and in Canada.\n\nAnd I doubt very much that there is significantly more fentanlyl entering the United States from Canada than is entering Canada from the United States.\n\nAnd completely stopping the flow of fentanlyl sounds like magic.\nIt's impossible.\n\nAnd the whole reason for the movement of fentanlyl is the demand in the United States \nso even if Mexico and Canada could completely stop the flow of fentanlyl \nthere will still be fentanlyl in the United States - either imported or produced in the United States.\n\nI don't believe that Trump doesn't really cares about fentanlyl addicts.\nHe just wants an excuse to be a bully and to express his xenophobia.\nWho believes Trump really cares about fentanlyl addicts? Nobody.

If tariffs costs are not paid by the country they're placed on, then why would she care? It doesn't affect Mexico, it affects the US, so why not just say, go ahead you're not gonna hurt us in anyway and it's not gonna stop migrants or Americans from carrying drugs over the border. Trump needs to look at our laws if he wants to stop Americans from being drug mules..

She has China building EVs in Mexico. She wants to make money from China and Cartel drug sales. And now, the USA taxpayers to feed illegals. No thanks. I will pay tariffs.

If Mexico don't want to pay tariffs then they need to control their Southern border because everybody comes through Mexico they're doing absolutely nothing to stop it

America has an insatiable demand for drugs and cheap labor while having the audacity to blame everyone else for those problems. Mexico should shrug and let China build what it wants in response. Why leverage your economic future on an unstable US ally who flips personalities every election?

I want to hear the lady from Mexico one year from now tell us what she is going to do .

It’s the American people that will be paying tariff… not Mexico, why do they care. If USA not buying them, they’ll just make the deal somewhere else and then increase the price when US wants to deal again.

trompas only see one thing, mexicans are awake, and we see everything, and since, trompas wants to talk about , getting ripeoff, check this out, it goes like this.,!! estados unidos mexicanos, oaxaca, estado soverano de mexico, , was first , then united state of america, now who is the ripeoff, _________, there is only one civilization with a culture and is not US ., so i call it USAR of mexico.? , so trompas tariff this nuts while you re at it? , lets not forget the sence of humo, ???? nuts,?????

More fake cnn news. Nobody coming across border. There must be a lot of people wanting to hear lies or they just talking and nobody listening. As for Mexico, they will stop the border crossings just like they did last time.

We would be on deep ? if Mexico just let everyone that wanted to cross the border into the US. You have to work with other countries, especially the ones that you share a border with.

MEXICO AND CANADA....LOVE..... TARIFFS ....THEY WANT A 40% TARIFFS

We don’t need Mexico we just use them cause there cheap. America can build and grow whatever they want. She should shut up and solve her own country’s crisis. There’s a reason her own people want to run to America. But the boot they will get if coming here illegally is their agenda. One day our army will probably have to swing in there for a solid week and end there crisis that they can’t handle themselves. & all these crybaby Americans over Kamala need to stfu and listen to the real adults. America will be America again. “Oh but we’re all immigrants” well I’m not I was born here. That happened years and years ago. You have better luck crying a river to a wall. Let’s go America let’s bring the real America back and make it strong again. F$$$ the haters and crybabies

Border crossing have stopped due to the election of Trump. Mexico has zero leverage. So she can threaten whatever. Mexico can literally be shut down easily by Trump. Hey CNN you don’t need to analyze. We want Trump and voted for his solution.

Mexico didn't take American jobs, American companies wanted cheaper labor and cheaper taxes and built their factories in Mexico. Mexico didn't build their factories in the US. They have it ass backwards!

Mexico president is weak. She’s going to learn the hard way.? eventually she will bend and give Trump what he wants? the updated news is saying that Mexico’s president states, the migrant caravan will not reach the US Mexico border?

Under the WEAK Biden presidency, Mexico governments were not informed and there was no communication between the two to take actions to prevent illegals and drugs and allow illegals and drugs to enter America soil. Now we have Trump as our President and the whole world leaders are all ears and want to work with America to end world problems. Lets pray together God will protect Donald Trump and end WARS and make America great again. AMEN!

The letter has more content, I invite everyone to read the whole letter. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum also talks about the illegal weapons that are being shipped to Mexico from the USA, 70% of those weapons are manufactured in the USA. Let’s remember that violence is a huge cause of why people migrate, people don’t want to leave their country of origin, the want to be safe. So, Mr. Trump, consider your country’s illegal actions before speaking.

Mexico President on fire?. Im from Germany and i can not wait for the EU to get more deals done with Mexico, Canada, Mercosur, China and outplay Trump. His voters wanted this wannabe dictator, and now they will proably get the whole North Korea experience?....

Come on my land with that attitude. Texas, figure out the you're own boarder. Awwww, Texans are too lazy to do it they want the fed, awwww. Texas can remember the goddamn Alamo, but they can't remember to fix their own shit, yeah, for a state Missouri sure did get in their way of Texas plans huh. So who's sleeping with the cartel? Big Pharma, or Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Somehow, the cartel's are getting American weapons, now, imagine that. Sounds like the Southwestern boarder got a big addiction problem to feed they're fix. You know Texas, for a state that flies it's flag as high as the our American Union flag you sure do act redneck retarded with a side of incest. The southwestern states need to fix they're own boarder but, seems like they to high on drugs are simply they don't care unless it's last minute, or they don't care at all.

It's a problem and the only way to not see it as one is to remove your head.\n\nI'm down to seeing whatever measures needed to get rid of all if not most illegal aliens. The Democrats have been wrong at every step on this issue and have done but incentives people to come at great peril (Democrats are the ones if who have treated these poor people as political pawns).\n\nThey are also WRONG about it being geopolitical issue in South America. Most people entering the US illegally have not even been from Central or South America (if they are from Mexico they don't even get let in). But from China, Turkey, Ukraine, Pakistan, (not exactly countries that loves us).\n\nThese people have to make it through the Darien Gap and then fend off cartels from ripping them off. I also want to see Trump go after people who helped these illegals get here–not just cartels.

Is this going to be like the wall ? he said Mexico would pay for? Him & buddies still want cheap labor. They might throw out some people to convince suckers that they're getting something done. But it will still be the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer.

It really isn't a difficult matter to solve. 1) Get the actual border under control. 2) Tell Mexico; and demonstrate it to them if necessary, that you'll close the border entirely if they don't get a grip on their own southern border. The result = Poof, goes the Mexican economy. 3) Round up the criminals.\n\nDo those 3 things and you'll bring some sanity back into the system which is all anyone really wants. It won't mean 11M get deported; perhaps 1-2M at most, but if there's a sense of order again, I can't see anyone caring. Then we can talk about a possible path to citizenship for the rest.

There's a piece missing in the puzzle. Has anyone asked where's Mexico in all of this? everyone seems to forget that they're America's southern neighbor, and they're not helping with anything to mitigate the border crisis. Mexico has to be sanctioned, because they're not actively partaking in the protection of the shared border with the US, they're allowing immigrants to cross the border unchecked, sparing themselves the trouble of dealing with them. They're throwing the ball in America's court, making immigration America's problem. Since they share the border with America, they have an obligation to combat illegal immigrantion but they're not doing that. They want to get rid of their crimnals and the poverty in their country not by enforcing the law and trying to invest in their infrastructure to enhance the living standards of their people, instead they're encouraging them to move to America to find a better life. America doesn't have to pay the price of Mexico being a failed country. They're turning their backs on their own citizens and trying to get rid of them, obliging them to take the perilous journey across the border where they're prone to crime, drugs, rape, human trafficking, sex trafficking, child abuse and all sorts of tragedies but to them the ends justify the means, and they have the nerves to call America racist and inhumane for not rescuing them from the situation that they created for them in the first place. Since the vast majority of illegal immigrants came across the border with Mexico, they should be deported back to Mexico, and Mexico can take it from there, not our problem anymore

This is what we wanted and we wanted them out. I don’t care how he does it. We already been paying for them for the last four years. It’s time for them to go. They can go to Mexico and ask for asylum. Asylum is pure BS. \nThis is why we voted for Trump.❤???? to save America

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.
