Reuters: Mexico draws red line on asylum in talks to stop Trump tariffs
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mexico on Monday made clear it would reject a U.S. idea to take in all Central American asylum seekers if it is raised at talks this week with Trump administration, which has threatened to impose tariffs if Mexico does not crack down on illegal immigration.

WNU Editor: This red-line from Mexico is a guarantee that tariffs will be imposed by the U.S. on the June 10 deadline. Mexico's economy declined in the first quarter, these tariffs will guarantee an even greater slow down in the Mexican economy, and a definite end to U.S. investment in Mexico in the short term. My prediction is that Mexico will bend .... the question that remains unanswered is when.

Guess whos gonna pay for our southern wall.
