Trump has been wavering recently when it comes to his stance on Mexican immigration, as per this link Professor Robbins shared with us last week, and now his trip to Mexico has added yet another facet to the story. It seemed that he was softening his stance on Mexican immigrants, a move deemed unacceptable by most of his supporters…but in true Trump form, he quickly backpedaled just hours later during a speech in Phoenix and referred back to his original plan of providing no amnesty to undocumented Mexican immigrants and having Mexico pay to build a wall along our border. This article shows just how damaging Trump’s words are to our foreign relations with Mexico. Mexican President Nieto is not happy, and who can blame him?
Unfortunately, we missed a great opportunity to build the wall while Trump was in Mexico, since its purpose after all is to keep “undesirable” people from entering the U.S. Along that vein, here’s a quick satirical post from The New Yorker guaranteed to make you laugh.
