Mexico’s president agrees to stop migration into U.S. after tariff threats, Trump says

[HARK!]

President-elect Donald Trump said Mexico has agreed to stop the flow of migrants north into the U.S.

In a post Wednesday evening on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said he had just spoken with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and had “a wonderful conversation.”

“She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border. We also talked about what can be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the United States, and also, U.S. consumption of these drugs. It was a very productive conversation!” he wrote.

Mexico’s president denies Trump’s claim that she agreed to shut down the US-Mexico border

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum denied proposing to US President-elect Donald Trump that Mexico will close its border with the United States as he claimed in a post on Truth Social.

“Everyone has their own way of communicating, but I can assure you, I give you the certainty that we would never — and we would be incapable of it — propose that we would close the border,” Sheinbaum said during her regular morning news conference Thursday. “It has never been our approach and of course we don’t agree with that.”

Perhaps the US should stop the flow of money and guns to the south?

Well...then they should look forward to a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports into the United Staes.

How?

 

[HARK!]

How?

This should prove to be interesting.

I am hoping the answer would involve something along the lines of "enforcing the laws that are already on the books." Then I would respond with, "Gee. That is a great idea. Perhaps America should do the same. I wonder why they have not thought about that yet?"

That's what I was hoping; but I had to catch myself. It seemed too far fetched.

I'm going to go with "ban guns and money" for 500.

And guess who would be paying for that? The Consumers, you and I.

The great part of that is we'll have better paying jobs if we bring manufacturing back to the US.

Why? Trump says she's going to close the border. Why would he impose tariffs if he got what he wanted?

Oh, hang on. He didn't. He just pretended that he'd got what he wanted. He told you something that you wanted to hear but which wasn't the truth. Did he lie? I guess that you must decide.

There'll be a lot of that to come. Be prepared.

 

[HARK!]

Trump says she's going to close the border.

No he didn't. You have to read what he said in context.

That won't be happening. Tariffs being imposed will not result in this.

Not to worry, Trump ownwed importers/business will be exempted from the tariffs - just like Ivanka's companies were exempted from the tariffs on Chinese goods last time. Maybe he'll carve out a few exceptions for Elon also. You can bet all the Trump branded imports will find their own special loophole.

I don't see where Trump said Mexico agreed to close the border. Trump said she agreed to stop migration through Mexico.

really?

Trump said she agreed to stop migration through Mexico.

read the rest of that same sentence.
it's the part that says, "..into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border."

 

[Nithavela]

Well, Trump said it, so I'm sure that all the protestations of lyin' Mexico that this wasn't said are just lies.

Thank you for securing the Deal of the Century, Your Excellency Trump, Chosen Saviour of the American People!

Yes. The comma after "United States" is where Trump ends his lose paraphrase of what Mexico agreed to. After the comma is Trump saying what the agreement could accomplish. Syntax matters. So what is migration "through" Mexico and "into" the United States? It would be the migrants coming from countries South of Mexico. Mexico has a much smaller border and is more than capable of securing it.

How?

Much the same way as Mexico is supposed to control the flow of drugs northward.

By strict enforcement of the laws? Great idea! Why didn't Biden and Kamala think of that?
