His plan is not to pay for the stupid wall.

Lopez Obrador has pledged to not let Mexico become a "pinata" battered by the United States and rejects Trump's plan for a border wall. He has also struck a nationalist tone on plans to boost the economy.

Even many Lopez Obrador supporters say the 64-year-old may struggle to achieve his ambitious goals - including getting Trump to soften his tone.

"What they're saying is a lie, that if Lopez Obrador wins, he'll have a tough relationship with Trump," said Juan Carlos Ramirez, 29, a construction worker in San Diego.

"That dude doesn't give a damn, he'll keep being racist towards Mexicans no matter who wins the presidency."

If anything, the US and Mexico need to team up and build a wall on the Mexico/Guatemala border.

Isn't it known that the whole "Mexico is gonna pay for the wall" was just the usual campaign bullshit anyway? Just like the "lock up Hillary" thing, where even Trump himself said after he became POTUS that that was basically just campaign BS.

Seems like cautious pessimism is the best way to look at Obrador's Mexico.
Maybe he can turn the place around, but I suspect a Venezuela Jr. to happen pretty quickly. Better hurry up with that wall.

Too bad for him. Mexico is a pawn of the board and pawns do as theyre told. The wall is going up whether he likes it or not. We will put taxes on all money orders going to Mexico, so... yeah. Theyre gonna pay for it wheher they realize it or not.

Mexico's citizens are the one who are coming into our country illegally, therefore they should take responsibility for it. If U.S. citizens kept trying to illegaly immigrate to Mexico, then the U.S. should be the one to pay for the wall.

This. It's like paying your taxes, you either do so voluntrily or the IRS garnishes your wages. One way or another, Mexico will pay for the wall. They can choose how easy they want to make it on themselves. We have far more power and wealth than they do, it's not a fight that they're going to win. They're not going the cheat us any longer. Previous presidents may have allowed it, but Trump won't.

I don't think Trump would ever want to make Mexico part of America.

Ultimately, since so many people from Mexico want to come here and since so many people send money back to Mexico and travel there and whatnot, our fates are far more intertwined than they are not. Could be a benefit to both countries to make them a state should they wish to be a state. Then we could allow free travel and also get the Mexican government to cooperate with our military as far as security/clean-up is concerned.

Only liberals would side with Mexico's drug cartel run corrupt government.

There are 193 countries in the world and Mexico is in almost the top 90% of them all.

Mexico is a natural resource rich country and they are being robbed of their wealth from a corrupt government as a result of drug cartels.

Yet uneducated nevertrumpers can't get their heads wrapped around shit that requires actual thought process.

There's lots of ways they could pay for it: fiat currencies, precious metals, valuable materials/resources, possibly some combination thereof and most likely done on a payment plan.
