After Donald Trump and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto agreed to not discuss who was going to pay for the U.S-Mexico border wall that Trump has been threatening to build, if and when he is elected president, Nieto decided to break that agreement.
While Trump was en route to Arizona to give his highly publicized immigration reform speech, Nieto decided to tweet that he told Trump his country would not pay for the wall, which prompted Trump to insert this line into his speech the moment he landed:“They don’t know it yet but they’re going to pay for the wall.”
Mr. Trump was peeved that Mr. Peña Nieto had gone public with the fact that the Mexican president had broken what Mr. Trump considered a deal to keep the question of paying for the wall off the table at their initial meeting.-Fox

According to a “person close” to President Pena, Pena brought up the wall issue:
A person close to Mr. Peña Nieto said that “since there was such a clear disagreement in preparatory conversations over issues about the wall and its payment, both parties agreed not to discuss them at the meeting, and instead talk about other topics, such as the great contribution that the Mexican community makes in the U.S., illegal drugs and weapons trafficking, bilateral trade, within North America and the rest of the world.” The person added: “Before the conversation began, Mr. Peña Neto reiterated to Mr. Trump that Mexico won’t pay for any wall, and as agreed, they discussed other topics.”
How could Pena not oppose Donald Trump’s immigration reform agenda?
Nieto, whose political party is the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), a member of the Socialist International (a group of political parties that want to establish democratic socialism around the world), has backed President Obama’s immigration reform agenda since taking office back in 2012.
Nieto first pushed to rewrite U.S. immigration laws by petitioning the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to
President Obama’s recent partnership on immigration reform with Mexico’s new Socialist President, Enrique Pena Nieto, could just be beginning of a Mexican push to rewrite U.S. immigration laws.
The first salvo that Mexico launch against the U.S. immigration system was when they petitioned the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to “uphold a lower-court ruling that blocked police from enforcing” a ban of harboring illegal aliens. Then in February 2013, Nieto’s Congress voted to suggest to the U.S. Senate that they populate a list of all commercial gun owners living along the U.S. southern border.While Nieto has stated that he would fight the drug cartels and end the violence and crimes being committed as a result of the drug trade, the murder rate in his country has gone down slightly since he took office.
Actually, since President Obama took office, the murder rate in Mexico has skyrocketed.
The University of San Diego’s Department of Political Science & International Relations, put out a in depth report about the growing murder rate in Mexico. In the report, graphs (see below) are published showing exactly how the homicide rate in Mexico has climbed since Obama and Nieto both were elected president in their respective countries.
Notice how much lower the murder rate in Mexico appears to be during the Bush administration.
