    A Mexican presidential candidate has called upon his fellow countryman to flood the United States with a mass exodus, calling it a "human right."

    According to a report from Eluniversal, candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) said the people should flee Mexico to find a life in the United States, which is a pretty dismal message coming from a presidential candidate. The equivalent would be President Trump telling Americans to flee for Canada.

    "And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world," Obrador said on Tuesday while calling on people to "leave their towns and find a life in the United States."

    This fleeing to the United States would be "a human right we will defend."

    Wow, how utterly crass and irresponsible. I'm not a huge fan of President Trump, but I do get right and wrong. What this candidate did was wrong.

    Completely seal off the border. Nothing going in either direction. In six months the Mexican economy would collapse, there would be a revolution, and Mr. Andrés Manuel López Obrador would find himself hanging from the nearest tree.

    Let them. Nobody want to stay in Mexico? Seal off their southern border, block all their ports, and make old Mexico the 51'st state.

    If Calvin and Luther were right about the Papacy and Islam being the two horns of Antichrist, then nothing could serve better than an influx of Catholics and Muslims into the US. Not to mention all volunteer armies being sitting ducks for takeover.

    I assume you mean stopping remittances. illegal and legal "immigrants" come here, work under the table, and send their money to their home country tax-free, The Mexican government knows this and winks at it.

    About AMLO, he's the most destabilizing choice they could make. Still hoping one of those other two can take out Chavez v.2 next week, his interactions with Trump won't go well for him or his country.

    Compromise, allow California to become their own country and include them on the Mexican side of wall. Problem solved.

    So you don’t consider a Catholic a Christian?

    #1 More territory, resources
    #2 No more of our money being sent "back home" to illegals' families
    #3 More revenues for the federal government
    #4 No more need for a border wall, at least not nearly as long(Much shorter border with Guatemala and Belize)
    #5.Lots of tourism revenue from all those Aztec and Mayan archaeological sites.

    I mean, los Mexicanos don't want to live there, might as well.
    ¿Comprende?

    I don’t... not unless we can take all their businesses having to go in there and clean up their mess at boarders will cost us a fortune. And we can handle boarder walls with changing the current laws to felony’s and using drones. Yankee money doesn’t need to be thrown into that pit.
