Kaine says Trump ‘choked’ in Mexico meeting
U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday pledged to begin building a wall along the U.S. -Mexico border and deporting undocumented immigrants on the first day of his presidency, if elected.

Mr Trump’s visit is described as nothing short of a “capitulation” on the part of the Mexican leader, who is accused of failing in his duty to “protect all Mexicans in and out of the country”.
USA presidential candidate Donald Trump (R) and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto prepare to deliver a joint press conference in Mexico City on August 31, 2016. He sketched a dark composite of “violent crimes, and total chaos and lawlessness” perpetrated by illegal immigrants. And he vowed that no person living in the United States illegally could chart a path to legal status without first leaving the country.
Podesta later added: “It turns out Trump didn’t just choke, he got beat in the room and lied about it”.
Sticking to his harsh immigration rhetoric, Donald Trump on Thursday vowed “no amnesty” for millions of undocumented migrants living in the U.S. and warned that those living in the country illegally would be deported if he becomes president.
The Clinton campaign also argued that Trump’s performance in Mexico proved that his tough guy image was just an act. This even resulted in Rush Limbaugh being forced to admit that he never really believed Trump on much of his plan (thanks for letting us know that now, Rush!) and former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough putting out a hilarious music video based on the hashtag #AmnestyDon. “For those here illegally today seeking legal status, will have one route only: to return home and apply for reentry like everybody else”.
If they must go, how do you accomplish it?
“Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation”, Trump said. “But he also promised a major expansion of enforcement in general, including a recommitment to an earlier proposal to triple the number of ICE agents devoted to enforcing immigration laws within the country”. Trump’s answer: He didn’t give one.
Amid the growing uproar in Mexico over the meeting, Pena Nieto told Televisa’s Denise Maerker that he’d invited Trump because his policies are a threat to Mexico – precisely the reason why most Mexicans think he shouldn’t have met with him.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump points to the audience after delivering an immigration policy speech during a campaign rally at the Phoenix Convention Center, Wednesday, August 31, 2016. “We didn’t discuss that”, Trump responded. “We discussed the wall; we didn’t discuss payment of the wall”. ‘We will build a great wall along the southern border, ‘ he said.
The bottom line reality is that, even if Trump somehow gets elected, there is never going to be a lovely wall, and Mexico is never going to be forced to pay for it. On top of it all, Pena Nieto tweeted that he told Trump – at the outset of his conversation – that Mexico wouldn’t be paying for the wall.
Within hours, Trump wiped it all away. ‘If you don’t vote Trump, we won’t have a country, ‘ said one of the Moms. “H” Clinton said in a personally signed Tweet. But as NBC’s Leigh Ann Caldwell notes, Obama and his predecessors have greatly increased spending on border security.
Just as in Britain, attitudes in America towards immigration have hardened radically since the 2008 economic crash. “I think it is a softening”.
For as soon as that moderating narrative got airborne, Trump’s speech in Phoenix took off after it with the speed and fury of an anti-aircraft missile.

“The Republican candidate will use this meeting for electoral purposes, to re-position himself with the Latino voters”, Zepeda said. He called Trump’s speech the outline of “a coherent and workable strategy”. ‘As a compassionate conservative, I am disappointed with the immigration speech. Mike Pence is in Florida… Now the news media had an excuse for over-covering all of this all day long because they could claim that it had the gravity of important global relations.
