We've been here before. I've seen the housing they come up with. It's basically a bunch of tiny ass houses all in the same block next to each other in the middle of nowhere.
Hola it’s me your lost Mexican neighbor.
Deport immigrants? People are going to be running to the fucking border if there is a place that can give them a shot at affordable housing. US, Canada and most of the world in crisis because free markets only build high-end homes.
Trump playing 5D chess. Maybe Mexico will pay for that wall after all.
🤔
s/high-end/high-priced/
Mexico has their first woman for president, meanwhile we have our first felon for president.
🤦♂️
And we turned down two women in a row, the most recent one being practically no different from the guy who wasn't great but got 10 million more votes. Mexico is less sexist than the US it would seem
Maybe our two women candidates should have campaigned on affordable housing
Or build like 1 million houses for them.
2nd, he took office in 2016. He's not a new criminal
He wasnt a convicted felon then, don't be a pedant
His crime occurred before his presidency. Regardless more than 50% voted for him for the 2nd term... Also he literally sold pardons lmfao
I'm not a fucking idiot, I know that. Calling someone a "felon" implies a conviction.
Do we have the world's first felon president?
With policies like this they better build a wall
Trump said he would build a wall. He said he'd get Mexico to pay for it. You all said he wasn't playing 4D chess shakin my smh-in head
Just build homes along the border. I know they got border towns already. Make 1 long border town wall.
Damn, strong policy that will actually help regular people acquire a fundamental human need without taking them for absolutely everything they are worth?
Can't believe she hasn't been assassinated yet.
If she legalized drugs, she'd be assassinated for sure.
Even Mexico cares more about their citizens than the USA. We send them back and they get social assistance.
The US is at the bottom of the list for caring about citizens in any metric. No paid maternity or paternity leave, most expensive healthcare in the world, no guaranteed vacation, sick, or Holiday pay.
I might be deported there bcz my dad came from there in the 1960s.
Looks like the housing market is going to be better there at least, so you've got that going for you! Hell, maybe they're anticipating an incoming deportation crisis and that's why they're building.
On a more serious note, I do hope nobody will forcefully deport you and that you get to keep on living in the country where you always have and probably plan on continuing to live in. My country suffered through two mass deportation events several decades before I was born and this is STILL affecting families. I don't wish for anyone else to have to go through this.
What left leaning policies does to a mf (mexican friend)
