   Do threats of Mexican Tariffs Work, in this particular instance. 
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

No.  It is against Mexico's interests to fix our problem.

If it is as advertised then illegal immigration from Central America (CA) will be significantly reduced. From Mexico not so much. Right now the "asylum seekers" are mostly from CA. All in all Trump did good but we still need the wall.

this is pretty outrageous

No.  I don't think Mexico has the ability nor the resources to significantly decrease the ILLEGAL invasion.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I voted yes because I want to believe. Millions of uneducated, unvetted, and in some cases carrying illness, can't invade this country without serious consequences for the citizens.
Principles matter. Words matter.

I don't believe there really was a deal. So no, nothing will change.

I believe there was some sort of a 'deal', but not a grand and glorious one as we are supposed to believe.

The recent US/Mexico 'deal' is subject to Trump walking it back yet once again.   :pop41:

Just like the Iran strikes and the ICE roundup.  Can't believe anything he says or does.  All for show.  Reality tv.

Yeah, this is a joke poll... of course it will not do anything and even those that voted "yes" know it.

No.

It's in Mexico's best interest that as many illegals as possible be Mexican.  They're not agreeing to cut down on illegals, just to cut down on the number that are OTM.  Gee, thanks.

A 15th century Roman identified the vital attribute that great leaders must have;
the ability to radiate fear in their adversaries/enemies!!!
Were he present now, Machiavelli would ask, "Who fears Trumpet???"
