I am not a Trump fan, but, that is as much because he is an uneducated buffoon and con-man. A few of his ideas actually work. Here is an example: We have heard him tell us ad nausea that Mexico is going to pay for the southern border wall, and, Mexican leadership is furious.
Border walls work. As an example is on the California border, and, it is a double wall . . . . . and, again, it works. Secondly, we (the U.S.) give Mexico millions if not billions of dollars a year. Obviously, we simply tell that government "pay for the damn wall," or, take more than enough aid and trade advantage away from Mexico to cover the costs of the wall, if they refuse . . . . . . . and, Vicente Fox has to know this. That is why he is so angry . . . . . because he can't say "no" in any meaningful way.
I hasten to add that while Trump's claim that Mexico will pay for the wall is is an easy one to defend, his plan to "round them all up and send them back to Mexico" is nothing short of asinine. If, for no other reason, the deal breaker, here, is the legal process issue; each of the 11 million (it was "20 million" 8 years ago, btw) are candidates for a legal court review, and, immigration reviews, in today's legal economy, take more than 500 days, on average, to complete, making mass deportations impossible. Do I really need to do the math?
The reader should know that my opposition to Trump is not a close call. While some of his opinions work for me (after all, he is a "populace" candidate), the fact that he is clown, a marital cheat, an outright thief when it comes to intentional and numerous bankruptcies, and his allegiance to mandated healthcare, planned parenthood and a more liberal Supreme court, are all reasons for my opposition.
