Mexico agrees to deploy 10,000 troops to US border in exchange for tariff pause

How does putting 10,000 troops owned by the cartels (Trump's words) going to control illegal immigration?
If they don't control immigration, the tariffs go into effect. You haven't thought this situation through.

I know you don't like it, but reality typically gets in the way of biased perception.
 
10,000 troops at the border is a start. ;)
And what do you think those 10,000 troops are going to do, exactly? Apprehend their countrymen and women? If you believe that I have an island to sell you.
 

Mexico has agreed to deploy 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in exchange for a one-month delay on President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday.

Sheinbaum made the announcement on social media Monday morning, roughly 12 hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Trump and Sheinbaum spoke on Monday and agreed that Mexico will do more to combat drug trafficking into the U.S., and that the U.S. will step up efforts to block the flow of firearms into Mexico.

Sheinbaum also said officials with the U.S. and Mexico were beginning talks on wider trade and security issues.


Trump won again. I am not too sure my heart can take after all this winning. It is getting ridiculous that one man can do all this and protect Americans from crime and extortion by other countries as well as within our own government.
Like the troops on the Rio Grande before the Mexican-American War?
 
You have no idea what, if anything, has been agreed.

oh so now its went from "Mexico isn't going to make deals" to "well yeah, reports are Mexico is making deals BUT ARE THEY REALLY"

anti-Trumpers just going to hate ....

imagine for a moment .... 2027 ..... there are almost no illegals coming across the border, lets say 95% decrease. Lets say cartels are now only getting 10% of the drugs into the USA (a 90% decrease) ... human/kid/sex trafficking has almost stopped.

Democrats HATE that idea. ...... why ?
 
liberals and Democrats will hate today and the deal USA and Mexico is making

it will reduce illegal crossing greatly - drug and human trafficking will decrease bigly - Democrats DO NOT WANT either of those to happen. If they did, they'd have demanded Biden do it and they'd support Trump doing it

they don't

Biden/Kamala had 4 years of massive failure and if Trump gets this done? what a huge huge win .... and Democrats can't stand Trump winning for this country
He wasn’t demanding troops to roll back tariffs. He’s backed himself into a corner
 
So Mexico actually agrees to combat illegal immigration and drug flow and uphold both our laws and also their own. Id say it was a win, but the bigger question that has to be asked is why does it take tariffs to get those corrupt pieces of shit to actually enforce their own laws.
They can shut down Amerikkkans coming across.
 
And what do you think those 10,000 troops are going to do, exactly? Apprehend their countrymen and women? If you believe that I have an island to sell you.
Keep control on their side of the border. It is a start, as more negotiations happen.
 
This is parody, right? When has Trump been motivated by anything other than finding ways with which to enrich himself-at America's expense? He's a lifelong grifter-it's what Fred taught him, and it's all he knows. In a few weeks you'll be seeing your consumer goods and grocery costs rocket because of his idiotic and reckless tariffs. Economists around the world are appalled by his stupidity. This tax will hurt you more than Canada, China or Mexico, just as it did the last time he tried the same stunt.




You got what you voted for, and it's nothing to crow about. By all estimates you'll be poorer by around $2600/year after the tariffs kick in. Have fun.
The Mexican president backed down and begged Trump not to do it. He refused. In a day, she said "OK, I'll send troops to help you protect the border. He got what he wanted. No tariffs.

This is the Art of the deal and how you get what you deserve.

We'll open the border first chance we get, just so we can see you get mad about it. It's very entertaining.

Sure. BRING IT ON! Put the tariffs into effect immediately! Raise prices for US consumers and ignite runaway inflation. I can handle that because guess who voters will blame for the hit on their pocketbooks.....thats right, the MAGATS!
Do it now! More tariffs TODAY. EVEN MORE TOMORROW!

You did this.

How gullible are the MAGATS who think that MEXICAN TROOPS will apprehend MEXICAN CITIZENS trying to cross.They may apprehend a few for show, but for the most part they will turn their heads and claim they saw nothing as long as their palms are greased.
Get real.
 
Gee, rather early to be declaring “victory” given those troops could easily be used to defend Mexico against raids across the border by American forces, after all.

“The people we are threatening sent ten thousand troops to the border” being called a “win” is throughly hilarious.

Almost as hilarious as you entertaining the idea Mexico would conduct a military engagement against our forces.

What is President Trump going to implement to stop the flow of firearms across the border?. That was part of the pause agreement.
I have not found any specifics on it.
 
Oh look, Biden did this, all without trying to start a trade war.


According to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Mexico will maintain a deployment of about 10,000 troops, while Guatemala has surged 1,500 police and military personnel to its southern border and Honduras deployed 7,000 police and military to its border “to disperse a large contingent of migrants” there.

Lol, MAGA is so gullible.

This feels like a publicity stunt more than anything. The Mexican army is hopelessly corrupt. Most of those soldiers are probably on the cartel payroll already. I doubt it will accomplish much to stem the flow of narcotics.
 
Except for the inconvenient fact his actions aren’t actually “protecting” anyone.
He is protecting us from the continued invasion of uneducated and impoverished immigrants, criminals and putting a serious damper on drug trafficking.

The Demonic-rats are huddled in the little rat holes eating cheese and drinking scotch, nail biting at how their cities and states will survive when their cash cows called illegals diminish into almost nothing. "How ill the schools and police and courts and welfare systems survive now" they are asking. "Our buddy donators at Walmart, The Dollar store, contractors are mad as hell and telling us they need help."
 
And lots of people actually sold a lot of shares this morning at a loss. Some with a really mighty loss.

Is that winning?
Could be, if you're trying to offset taxes.

When you're able to explain how to adequately secure 2000 miles of border, I'll listen. As it is a brief blip in numbers isn't a reliable predictor.
 
Almost as hilarious as you entertaining the idea Mexico would conduct a military engagement against our forces.
I knowwww. Like Mexico is going to go to war with us with their ragtag band of police who make $3.00an hour and all they can steal from tourists and the cartels.
 
He wasn’t demanding troops to roll back tariffs. He’s backed himself into a corner

nothing has changed - its been about stopping illegal drugs/human trafficking the entire time

Mexico is going to work with the USA - its a big win for Mexico and the USA - not a good win for Democrats and Cartels
 
Called it.

So did Mark Cuban.
