Once you kick out 12 million Mexicans ou're going to need a wall to keep them out. And we can do whatever we want. Our economic and military might still holds the world hostage. Canada cannot survive without America and Europe isn't going to do anything because we're kick the crap out of Mexico. The US can break any agreement it wants, it has broken many before on climate change, on war crimes and more - nobody can hold us accountable because we're too strong to be held accountable, just like the big banks were too large to fail. That's what we are on a global level.

Assuming that you can even kick out 12 million Mexicans without any resistance and loss of money - Economic power of US right now is nowhere enough to hold 'the world' hostage. Honestly, I would be amused to see deportation happening because I just know how fast they will change the tone once they realize workers who don't work tends to not steal jobs.

Economically, Canada will just do fine until US invasion, for that matter, what international agreement US broke? You mean ones that US decided to not sign because they wanted to have their little empire? It isn't that they broke them, they intentionally avoid from signing anything, but TPP is already signed regardless how toxic it is.

Also, I don't think you understand how modern war works. There is no such thing as 'too strong to be held accountable.' If a war is declared between a major powers, they both lose the moment they start them. Unless you think war is free, or you sincerely believe that active use of nuclear weapons won't end in world war.

 

The US makes up a 5th of the global economy, it holds the global reserve currency which is enormous power, it funds most international instituions. Canada in particular is hugely dependent on the US economy - close off their exports and they collapse . Look at the global collapse a US housing market bubble lead to. The US military is stronger than the next 7 combined. It's nearly half of the worlds military power with bases everywhere. No one will declare war on us for forcing Mexico to pay for a wall. You think China and Russia care? They're going to risk war, civil unrest and economic disaster over MEXICO? It will never happen, we could literally occupy Mexico and no one would do anything but lip service.
