Mexico gave a cool reception to visiting senior U.S. officials due to a controversy over deportations of illegal immigrants, with one minister playing down the chances that a planned meeting with President Enrique Pena Nieto on Thursday will go ahead.

The U.S. government is seeking to deport many illegal immigrants to Mexico if they entered the United States from there, regardless of their nationality, prompting a fiery response from Mexican officials.

Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray on Wednesday called the measures "unilateral" and "unprecedented."


The new U.S. immigration guidelines are likely to top the agenda of meetings in Mexico City with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.

2. I've often wondered how in the world

Traitor Trump would respond if Mexico simply refuses to take back people, who cannot prove they are Mexican nationals. A lot of the undocumented Hispanics come from Central America, not Mexico. What is traitor Trump going to do with thousands of undocumented people piling up at the border? Who is going to pay for their incarceration in camps strung out along the border.

What a giant cluster-fuckup this is going to turn out to be. Obviously tax cuts for the ultra rich will generate so much income for the US treasury *snark*

4. We will go bankrupt paying all the lawsuits.

Be a whole lot cheaper to deport Trump and his family of grifters.
