BORDER/IMMIGRATION/MEXICO/MILITARY/NAFTA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WALL: “After days of President Donald Trump’s aggressive rhetoric against immigration via Mexico, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto delivered a stern response to his US counterpart, telling him that ‘nothing and no one stands above the dignity of Mexico.’ The five-minute-long speech was delivered in Spanish and posted in a video on the Mexican President’s Twitter account on Thursday [4-5-18]. That same day, Trump detailed his plans to deploy 2,000 to 4,000 National Guard troops to the southern border until the completion of his long-promised wall. It also comes after days of tough talk on Twitter, including the threat of pulling the US out of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which Trump has called Mexico’s ‘cash cow.'”
