Would Mexico's president threaten to deport U.S. expats if Trump mass-deports Mexican illegals?

During his first term, President Trump got along fine with Mexico's previous president, socialist Andrés Manuel López Obrador. They enacted the 'remain in Mexico' agreement to deter those seeking to cross into the U.S. illegally to file for asylum, and illegal migration from the south fell sharply lower.

That doesn't seem to be the case with Mexico's current socialist president, Claudia Sheinbaum, a Stanford-educated leftist.

There's been talk like this going around:

Sheinbaum has no clue. Trump’s economic penalties would cripple Mexico if she does not play ball. And U.S. immigrant community in Mexico entered LEGALLY. https://t.co/xbjaG91ecy— MilnerBear (@modelerr) November 17, 2024

I couldn't find any proof she actually said she would deport Americans if Trump sends back illegally present Mexicans, but a statement like that is pretty redolent of 1960s third world nationalism, particularly in Latin America. Reciprocation on everything since we're all equals, the logic goes. Sheinbaum comes from a family of leftists steeped in those traditions, so it's possible that's her thinking. I can certainly see AMLO thinking such things.

If true, the logic is idiotic. Mexico has thousands U.S. expatriates legally living in its territory, and by Mexican law, they cannot buy land, but they can lease, which is why some parts of Mexico, such as Lake Chapala, San Felipe and Rosarita Beach, have whole communities of U.S. expats. They are all legal residents and unlike the Mexican expats here illegally who consume U.S. services, they contribute greatly to the Mexican economy by spending cash there -- on homes, health care, recreation and living costs. So if Sheinbaum were to deport those Americans in retaliation for Trump's deportation of Mexicans illegally present in the U.S. it wouldn't exactly be an even exchange -- Mexico would be hurting its own economy twofold.

Only a “Stanford-educated leftist” would say something this stupid.

You move to a foreign country you take your chances. Sorry.

A vast majority of illegals are NOT Mexican nationals. Mexicans don’t really want to leave Mexico. They just let everyone else walk through their country to get to us.

The difference between Mexicans in America and Americans in Mexico is Americans in Mexico have steady incomes and don’t depend on finding work outside the Home Depot.

Let's go ahead and correct her title...

Globalist plant and COO of Mexican Narco State, Claudia Sheinbaum.

She won’t do a thing.

The “immigrants” in Mexico pour millions into their ridiculous economy and she needs every dime she can extort from them.

Nothing a two year travel ban could not take care of. Cancun, Cabo, and the rest f the crap cities can dry up. While we are at it, a tariff on all cars manufactured in Mexico. They will be graveling in two weeks.

First I thought Meh, but then I thought, you stupid bitch! Mexico has so much more to lose, say for example we put a surcharge of say 25% on all moneys transferred from the US to Mejico by Mexicans in the US….that would put a serious crimp in their economy, along with tariffs on their goods.

The U.S. expats did all the proper paperwork and did not sneak across the border in the middle of the night

So what? If the Mexican government does this to support terrorists in the US, well, the US has Reaper drones shitable for taking our terrorist supporters, wherever and whoever they are.

Many an episode of "I (Almost) Got Away With It" to follow.

Do American expats steal Mexican pesos from Mexican tax payers, rape and kill mexican girls and burn Mexican villages down?

Didn’t think so.

...In fact, expelling illegal Mexicans is not the same as expelling Americans from Mexico, because in many cases illegal Mexicans become a burden on the American economy, while the counterpart leaves foreign currency for the Mexican State without having to use Mexican social services.

So what if she sends US Expats back to USA.....they took their chances going there as much as in any country.....things change when leaderships change in most countries.

We pay Mexico 200 million dollars a year in foreign aid.

Today.

That can and probably should stop.
