I was hoping this was real :(

Dammit, I ate the onion until your comment. I was thinking Mexico might build some sort of wall to keep the riff raff out of Mexico.

What if we changed it to "Mexican warns of remorseless criminals north of the boarder"?

Omg, I chewed that whole bite without realizing it wasn't an apple...

It would be deeply, deeply ironic if Mexico decided to build a wall to keep US out.

Tightened up visa requirements, making it require an act of Congress to be able to visit Cancun.

I predict a brexit-like reaction from the alt-right.

"I wanted a wall but not against me!"

wait but, if Mexico builds a wall and pays for it, wouldn't Trump just claim it as a yuge win?

This was his plan the whole time.

That’s only if the guards are ours; they won’t be in this scenario.

Somehow Mexico's wall would be racist and an affront to American "Freedoms".

The right would be calling for war before the first brick was laid.

Probably got a few out here in a couple places. Never see any of them outside their houses but their trucks are moved

As a convicted felon, he's already barred from thirtysomething countries. If Mexico isn't yet one, she could totally fix that.
