MEXICO CITY — If Donald Trump were president, he would have Mexico pay to build a wall along its 2,000-mile border to keep itself out.

He’d block the billions of dollars that Mexicans illegally in the United States send home to their families. And prevent their children born in America from automatically becoming U.S. citizens.

There wouldn’t be many of these children, however, because Trump would be deporting millions of undocumented Mexicans — all of them, if he had his way.

How does that sound, Mexico?

1. Yes, because the whole gop is piling on right behind him. And he is

looking very popular. I am sure that a lot of new arrivals are afraid he will win.

2. thankfully, trump will only be in the white house as a visitor at best

3. He can't change the 14th amendments

By himself. And he has no jurisdiction over Mexico. He might spend more on deportation with Congress cooperation but still could hardly make a dent. Laws not allowing money out of the country would be unconstitutional. In other words he's an idiot.

4. Would present an interesting problem.

33 Million Best and Brightest from the lower classes suddenly returning has tremendous potential to change Mexico. I imagine it would cause explosive growth and we in the US would hear another sucking sound as some businesses disappeared from the US to themselves reappear in Mexico. Most scary for some would be that many of these suddenly returned people may have Idea's about what and how they believe their government and communities should be. Ideas that could transform the status quo.
