The Guardian
President Peña Nieto:
“We may not agree on certain topics,” Peña Nieto said, according to a live CNN translation of his remarks, but on the issue of trade, “I shared with Mr. Trump my conviction that the free trade of North America has done a lot of good to both the United States andMexico.”
“With the next administration, we must accelerate these efforts so that the Mexico-US border is more efficient and safe,” Peña Nieto said, pointing out that “undocumented immigration from Mexico to the US had its highest point ten years ago and it has slowed down consistently even to the point of being a net negative at this point.”
“We know that it continues to be a shared challenge, including the increasing number of non-Mexicans who cross our border to go to the US.”
“This is a clearly incomplete vision of the border issues, because it doesn’t count for the illegal goods that come southbound, including weapons and cash. Millions of dollars and weapons crime from the north and strengthen the cartels and criminal organizations” in Mexico, Peña Nieto said. “This flow must be stopped.”
“My priority as the Mexican president, and of my government, is to protect Mexicans wherever they may be. That is my responsibility, and I will continue to comply with it with all my heart.”
“Mexican nations in the United States are honest people, working people – they are people that respect family, they respect the life in the community, and they are respective of the law,” Peña Nieto continued. “As such, Mexicans deserve everybody’s respect.”
“The Mexican government will be totally respectful of the electoral process of the United States. I recognize its decision to sustain and construct a dialogue,” Peña Nieto concluded. “This is the route that allows for a better understanding.”
Donald Trump:
“Of current trade and immigration policies on the United States. As you know I love the US very much and we want to make sure that the people of the US are very well-protected,” Trump said.
“The US and Mexico share a 2,000-mile border, a half-trillion dollars in trade,” Trump said, as well as “support for democracy, a great love for our people, and the contributions of millions of Mexican-Americans.”
“They are amazing people – amazing people,” Trump said of Mexicans living in the United States, particularly the ones who work for the Trump Organization. “I’m proud to say how many people I employ”
“Mexicans are just beyond reproach,” Trump said. “Spectacular, spectacular and hardworking people.”
“I express that to the United States, and of the United States, that we must take action to stem this tremendous outflow of jobs from our country. It’s happening every day, it’s getting worse and worse and worse and we have to stop it.”
Trump suggested five points to further grow the US relationship with Mexico:
“Number one: ending illegal immigration. Not just between our two countries, but including the illegal immigration and migration from the central and south Americas.”
“This is a humanitarian disaster, the dangerous trecks, the abuse by gangs and cartels, and the extreme physical dangers. And it must be solved – it must be solved quickly. Not fair.”
“Number two: having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial. We rec the right of either country to build a physical barrier or wall on any of its borders to stop the illegal movement of people, weapons and drugs,” Trump said. The move is “paramount to both the United States and to Mexico.”
“Number three: Dismantling drug cartels,” Trump said. “This can only be done with cooperation, and intelligence and intelligence sharing.
“Improving Nafta, number four. Nafta is a 22-year-old agreement that must be update to reflect the realities of today,” Trump said, which would make both countries “stronger and keep industry in our hemisphere. We have tremendous competition from China and from all over the world. Keep it in our hemisphere.”
“Number five: Keep manufacturing wealth in our hemisphere. When jobs leave Mexico, the US or Central America and go overseas, it increases poverty.”
“The bond between our two countries is deep and sincere, and both our nations benefit from a close and honest relationship between our two governments.”
“I call you a friend. Thank you.”

Donald Trump: Mexico and US ‘must take action’ to stem illegal immigration
Speaking after a private meeting with Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto, Donald Trump told assembled journalists that “we had a very substantitive [sic] exchange of ideas over quote a period of time.”
Answering questions from reporters after the two addresses, Donald Trump told journalists that he and Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto did not discuss who would pay for his proposed wall along the 2,000-mile border between the United States and Mexico.
Trump has said before that Mexico would be forced to pay for the wall’s construction.
“We’re saving that discussion for a later date.”
