    kaylar wrote a new post, The Mexican Wall; who will it Hurt? 7 years, 8 months ago

    Although one wouldn’t expect a businessman like Donald Trump, or a President of the United States, know that Mexico is the number Three Trading Partner.

    I know it, because I can find information.

    Maybe, in the […]

    • I really pity this guy, does he ever feel sorry for himself? Honestly we all need each other for some reason, nations need one another to grow, where in earth has there been a nation that doesn’t rely on another nation for something, am yet to see that. All he thinks about is he himself, what he wants and what he needs. From what I know and am aware of is the fact that outsiders are the ones who go to work for th3 Americans, you will find this foreigners in hospitals, homes, hotels and so many other places working. We all know that there are people who cannot do without workers, they need them around them 24/7. When trump starts building walls and cutting off links with certain countries what’s going to happen to this people who are so reliant on the foreigners to work, are they going to look for their own people to do that work? If course not! So trump just needs to get his act together and rethink about some of the decisions he is making for the American people. This is not a game like the enterpreneurship that he used to run, this are real issues that will affect people and their families. You cannot mess up someone’s life and tell them you are FIRED! Help make life better not worse for people.

      • This is the archtypical spoiled brat. He has no idea of the existence of other people. He looks in the mirror and doesn’t see an old fat orange pig with a toupee but superman. He knows nothing.

        Many countries buy ‘American Products’ which consist of weapons and probably steel to build. Not Consumer products. Not cars, not clothes, not appliances. What he doesn’t realise is that there is a large population of Americans in America who are employed in the trade with Mexico.

        All Mexico has to do is wink at China. The Mexicans won’t suffer much loss. China makes a whole bunch of imitation goods, so they can put a ‘Ford’ engine in a Ford car. The engine, of course is as much Ford as chow mein.

        He’s a stupid man.

    • Never really thought about who the wall would hurt. At present, I’m not even sure building it is achievable! (O.o) One step at a time. Can we even get the wall built? I know I’ve heard all kinds of thoughts and ideas being thrown “to the wind” but so far nothing concrete on how The project is going to move from rhetoric and materialize into reality.

      • Trump is going to build the wall… remember… this isn’t a normal person. This is Trump. Just now he’s banned all immigrants… it doesn’t matter what treaties say… he’s Trump!

        I have to laugh when people who supported him seem puzzled by what they supported.

        • Please try to realize that everything you hear reported in the news is not gospel, the law, the final word. Yes. Another “change” has come to America. Yes. Trump is Trump. But that’s only who he is. Yes. Trump is POTUS. Nobody is denying or disputing it.

          But I don’t get why people keep imagining he’s a giant FOOT and he’s just going around stepping on US like we’re ANTS!!

          That’s not happening! It’s not going to happen.

          Oh sure! He may do things differently from previous leaders. Big deal! So what? Americans know how to adapt to survive and preserve the American Way! I have faith in US!!!

          If the wall is built then … America will still be America. It’ll just be America with a wall. And some day, a person who writes articles or blog posts about history may write about America’s Wall, the same way they write about Hadrian’s Wall, the Great Wall of China, the walls of Jericho, etc. 🙂

          If the ancient emperors, the wall builders of old, were here today, no doubt they’d say: “People! Get a grip! It’s just a wall.” 🙂

    • Here’s where the roads diverge. This is not the 60s; America isn’t the centre of gravity. Right now Mexicans are going to boycott American businesses. There are options.

      Trying to defend Trump is hysterically funny. He doesn’t need you to defend his ideas. He’s gonna do what he’s gonna do, and reap the ‘rewards’.

      He can push for oil, others are turning to solar and electric, and hey! You can pollute America as much as you want!

      Lots of countries are moving quickly to make new Trade Deals. It benefits the rest of the world. It is better for the world for America to pull back and let other countries fill the ‘gaps’.

      • A few points. One goes back to a comment you made earlier.

        (1) If you voted for Trump why are you puzzled by anything he says or does?
        ~ I didn’t vote, as I have already said. But according to you, I voted for Trump. Fine! Trump doesn’t confuse me at all and nothing he does is a puzzle. It may be a puzzle piece. But it’s easy to fit the pieces together.

        (2) Mexicans are going to boycott American businesses?
        ~ Uuuh … Why don’t Mexicans figure out a way to stop their own citizens from leaving Mexico?

        (3) Trying to defend Trump is hysterically funny?
        ~ Who’s defending him? I mean … besides that lady with the “alternative facts”.

        (4) Lots of countries are moving quickly to make new Trade Deals?
        Countries like … uuuhh … ? Cuba?? Trade Deals with who?

        • To Answer; it was more a general than a personal… if one voted for Trump or supported him, nothing he has done so far should be of any shock. He is doing what he said he would do. For me it is like someone says, “I’m going to tear down the awning…” they tear down the awning. It doesn’t need any analysis or explaination or defence.

          Right now, in Mexico there is a boycott against Starbucks. That one has made the BBC… there are probably others, one could Google if they want. Mexico isn’t a pathetic poor set of pueblos. There are a lot of American businesses there a lot of investment.

          It isn’t just the Mexicans crossing over…it is people from all over South America; people from El Salvadore, Hondurus, Columbia, etc, going north and crossing into America. Even Trump knows that. I think he, or one of his people said something to Mexico like; “The wall will benefit you because it will prevent Central and South American criminals from entering…”

          There is no spin to put on anything TRump says or does. Not need to explain. This is what he said he would do.

          In Jamaica, for example, we’ve hooked into China, Nigeria, Cuba, and other countries. Other countries have done the same. In fact, American imports here have dropped by about $3 Billion dollars.

          • No Mexico is not a pathetic poor set of pueblos. They’re corrupt spineless bastards who can’t keep criminals like El Chapo in jail! Ggrrrrr …!! They’re not exactly the best next door neighbors to have! But hey! Can’t do nothing about the geography except … except .. uuhh … put up a wall?? LOL.

            (Excuse my grumpiness and sick sense of humor. It’s getting late and I’m sick and tired of talking and hearing about Trump!)

            Anyway I don’t think the wall is going to stop anybody who is determined to slip through. Walls have “cracks”.

            I’m going to bed. Don’t usually sign in on Sundays. So … see you Monday!!! 🙂

            • The Wall is not going to stop anyone… the drug trade needs to be confronted. The gun men and drug traders will go by submarine. Others, by boat, and dig tunnels…

    • America is gonna build the Border Wall? Wow! Good for you, Americans. That’s what tens of millions voted for and won BIG TIME. You are seeing many great things and results happening already since the President Trump Administration. Congratulations! Good days are looking very promising for U.S.A. 🙂

      • I’m assuming you are being sarcastic because the very idea, the 1k mile wall… just a waste of money.

    • Mr. Trump is towards his election promises made to the citizen of U.S. In all his meetings during the election campaigns he has been emphasizing the constructions of a wall along the Mexican border to protect their infiltration into U.S to safeguard the financial interest of the people of U.S.
      No doubt the Japan and China are making a lot of business and are technologically improved themselves.
      I think Mr. Trump has sensed the danger into which his country is being pushed and hence he might have taken a decision which his predecessors have not taken up and this might have caused some heart-burning to the opposition parties and also to the media whom Mr. Trump did not want to care about.
      What we are all thinking and hearing about in the Media seems to be quite opposite to what actually happening in U.S is.
      Most of the so called financially benefited countries are now realizing the danger that is likely to cause to their economy by the order of Mr. Trump and hence the demonstrations and the media support magnifying his each and every activity of Mr. Trump.
      I have seen many Americans and talked to them and nobody is interested in allowing the foreigners to settle in U.S and what they say is it is somewhat towards making the U.S a financially a stable Nation.
      They say “If the foreigners are so impressed with the Democratic structure of U.S why can’t they adopt and press for it in their own nations. The U.S is not a land of immigrants into which each and everybody can land and make a permanent settlement at the cost of the Natives”.
