Build your own wall, Mexico tells Trump

MEXICO CITY: If you want a wall along the border with Mexico, build it if you are elected, the Mexican president told the White House Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday.
The bombastic real-estate mogul has promised to crack down on illegal immigration and insulted Mexican immigrants by calling them rapists, criminals and drug dealers.
As his party’s presumptive presidential candidate, Trump is now eyeing a clash in the November election with his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
“There is no way to have Mexico pay (for) the wall. But any decisions inside (the) USA -- is a decision of its government ,” Pena Nieto said on Sunday.
The Mexican president earlier had said Trump’s campaign pledge was a non-starter, but he did not address the issue as specifically.
SANDERS TO ENDORSE CLINTON TODAY
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders will join Hillary Clinton at a presidential campaign rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday at which he is expected to deliver his long-awaited endorsement.
Both campaigns said on Monday that Sanders will join the former secretary of state at a high school in the town of Portsmouth “to discuss their commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.”
