That’s right. Build a wall, bad mouth them, pressure them to put their workforce at risk.

Supply chains disruptions strike all over, which will necessarily lead to secure more reliable ones, through diversification, digitization and new roles for logistic operators.

Mexico’s gonna tear down the wall...and trump’s gonna pay for it.

Trump will just order Mexico to stay open because you know total power. Problem solved. Big American business happy.

They have a right to protect their citizens, especially since they share a border with us. We have people saying let's just go back to normal even though over 28000 have died in around 2 months time from a communicable disease without a vaccine.

But what do they expect the Mexicans to do, they are also protecting their own.

Trump must love this. Where’s the wall now

I'm sure Mexicans are losing sleep about that. Mexico should offer to reopen if the wall is taken down and Trump pays to have it destroyed.

Industry note to Pompeo, put a bounty on his head!

No shit. The US is dependent on Mexico in so many ways, whether the Mango Mussolini want's it or not.

Should Mexico reopen?
