One of Donald Trump’s biggest campaign promises was that we would be building a border wall between us and Mexico to stop violent criminals, government fund sucking illegal immigrants, and drug peddlers from getting in to the US. The next big promise, directly said after that one, was that Mexico was going to pay for it.
When that happened, you couldn’t hear the end of it from the liberals and even the Mexican government themselves. “How dare he!” was the battle cry.
Here’s Former President Vicente Fox expressing his feelings on the matter:
TRUMP, when will you understand that I am not paying for that fucken wall. Be clear with US tax payers. They will pay for it.

Well, turns out, that Trump was right all along for pushing the issue because Mexico just said that they’re both open and willing to negotiate Trump’s terms.

As an example, consider what Mexico’s new foreign relations secretary Luis Videgaray said this week. “(He) said Tuesday his country isn’t just willing to negotiate changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement, it wants to start talks as soon as possible,” the Associated Press reported.
And here was the kicker: “He (also) said Mexico is willing to negotiate over Trump’s plan to build a border wall.”
During a televised address last Wednesday, the same day Videgaray was tapped to serve as the foreign relations secretary, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto himself stressed the importance of negotiations.
“With the change of government in the United States on 20 January, the instructions for secretary Videgaray is (sic) to accelerate dialogue and contacts so that from the first day the bases for building a constructive work relationship can be established,” he said, as noted by The U.K. Guardian.
What’s the liberals? Can you speak up? I can’t hear you above the noise of you being completely wrong on everything you say.
Build that wall!
