Former Mexican president blasts Trump, says he will not pay for wall
Thu 25 Feb 2016 19.07 EST

Vicente Fox’s comments come after Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to make Mexico pay for a wall to seal off the United States’ border with Mexico

Former Mexican president Vicente Fox has given an uncompromising response to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s plans to make Mexico pay for a wall along the US border with Mexico.

“I’m not going to pay for that fucking wall. He should pay for it. He’s got the money,” Fox told Jorge Ramos on Fusion.

“Are you afraid that he’s going to be the next president of the United States?” Ramos asked the former Mexican president. “What would that mean for Mexico?”

“No, no, no, – democracy can not take that, crazy people that don’t know what is going on in the world today,” Fox said. “This worries me, the last caucus in Nevada ... he won 44% of Hispanics. I’d like to know who those Hispanics are, because they are followers of a false prophet,” Fox said.

Trump thinks they don't have ladders in Mexico!

I'm just pointing out that it is not the building cost, that is just a place to focus your troops and police. Without intense security a wall will be breached. It was the cost of patrolling the "Berlin Wall" that eventually brought down communism.
