What, exactly, is Trump's beef with Mexico? Is it personal?

The US situation is even worse because when Toyota wants to sell cars to US consumers they build factories across the border in Mexico then take advantage of free trade deals and ship the cars to the US. With huge taxes for goods from Mexico it means Toyota and others will now have to move their factories to the US for their cars to be competitive. This will cretae jobs in the US and billions which woild have gone to mexico will remain in the US. Toyota is the number one manufacturer of cars in America follwoed by Honda and Subaru. They make more Cars in america than GM and Ford. Clearly just like Trump, you just throw words around without research.

Is it personal? He will probably need that wall to keep all the mexicans from leaving the US.  His presidency and the changed US anti immigrant attitude in my opinion is already enough deterrent to keep many who would have wanted to migrate there away.

First 'sanctuary city' caves to Trump demands
MIAMI — President Trump is hailing the first victory in his fight against "sanctuary cities" after a South Florida mayor ordered his employees on Thursday to begin working more closely with federal immigration authorities.
For years, Miami-Dade County has refused to hold some undocumented immigrants in its jails for federal immigration agents. But after Trump signed an executive order threatening to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez changed his mind.
Gimenez signed an executive order Thursday ordering the director of his corrections department to begin honoring all requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold immigration suspects in Miami-Dade County jails.
"Miami-Dade County complies with federal law and intends to fully cooperate with the federal government," the order read.
Gimenez said he made the decision to ensure that the county does not lose out on $355 million in federal funding it has coming in 2017.
Trump was quick to praise the decision, tweeting on Thursday: "Right decision. Strong!"

Toyota is expanding in Baja, too. Toyota U.S. sales chief Bill Fay confirmed on Wednesday that the company is expanding its existing plant in Baja to add annual production capacity of 60,000 Tacoma midsize pickup trucks for sale in the U.S. Production may start as soon as late 2017. The Tacoma is a hot seller in the U.S., even outselling the vaunted Prius hybrid in 2016.
"I’m a little excited to be able to get my hands on those Tacomas with my dealers," Fay told reporters Wednesday.
Asked about Trump's proposed border tax, Fay told reporters on Wednesday that the company is "watching this very closely."
President-elect Donald Trump set his sights Thursday on Toyota, attacking the Japanese automaker for expanding in Mexico to sell more vehicles to Americans, as he builds support for his proposed tariff on vehicles imported to the U.S.
The attack heightens tension between Trump and the auto industry over vehicles that are made in foreign markets for sale to American consumers.
"NO WAY!" Trump said in a tweet about Toyota. "Build plant in U.S. or pay big border tax."
During his presidential campaign, he repeatedly slammed Ford Motor for expanding in Mexico. Ford won the president-elect's praise Tuesday when it announced plans to cancel a planned $1.6 billion factory in Mexico and expand a Michigan plant.
Ford will still move production of the Focus sedan to Mexico, albeit to an existing plant, instead of a new facility.

Toyota, a Japanese company will continue making cars out there and its also the car company manufacturing more cars in America than any other company including the Americans. That 74B inlcuded Ford(s) Chrysler(s) GM(s) and a concoction of others you know why? 1. No American will accept anything less than $15 an hr plus 1.5 time for overtime 2. When these cars become very expensive to buy, these companies which have other plants in America, will close and die. I understand Trump wants Americans to get rich so that he can sell more homes and host more people in his hotels...but there are better ways of going about that. Address the issues ie regulations at home. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore
