Trump vows 25% import tariffs on Mexico and Canada amid border feud

President-elect attacks ‘ridiculous open borders’ and says he will sign order to impose tariffs on US neighbors

Trump said the tariffs would remain in place until the two countries clamp down on drugs, particularly fentanyl, and migrants crossing the border illegally.

Walton's could give two shits about fentanyl. Tariffs is what scares that family.

It should scare you, too. I was talking to one of my industry reps this morning, talking about Trump’s tariffs the first time around. Said cost of each shipment of their imports from China went from $2,000 to $30,000. Guess who wound up paying.

Buy American.

 

[Ponca Dan]

Buy American.

Why? What does that even mean? Does an American product have to be made with 100% American parts and each American part have to be made with 100% American components and each American component have to be made with 100% American subcomponents …. How about labor? Does it apply to all labor production and assembly, too? Do all the other countries get to do the same thing for their country? Should the concept of imports and exports just dissolve?

Don’t over think it.

What scares me is all the unvetted illegals and fentanyl pouring into the country. We've lost three kids of close friends to fentanyl and had a couple of friends thankfully escape with only minor injuries in car wrecks with drunk illegals. If Trump placing tariffs on Mexico gets them to help reduce both I'm all for it as you should be.

Neither of us should choose a boneheaded option like tariffs and trade wars as the cure for the fentanyl crisis. But I understand. You’re for it because it’s what Trump told you he wants, and you’ll accept and approve of anything he says he wants. You’d probably smile with pride as you watched him grab your wife or daughter by the pussy.

As the world's largest consumer economy, tariffs are an excellent tool for our President to provide the proper motivation to foreign leaders to cooperate with our desires without the normally diplomatic pussy footing around. Cooperate or not but the not has a penalty. While I'm sure that maybe a little strong for people like you who prefer to play nice while these foreign countries take advantage of our country, some of us are tired of getting screwed and demand the screwing stop immediately.

Famed pastor dead after illegal immigrant allegedly runs red light, strikes him in crosswalk

Detroit-area Pastor Stephen Singleton died after an illegal immigrant driver from Colombia allegedly struck him with a car on Nov. 3 in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

No big deal right Dan? Just another dead American at the hands of an illegal who shouldn't be here in the country.

Los Angeles becomes sanctuary despite dozens of murderous, child-preying illegals arrested in city this year

Los Angeles passed a sanctuary city ordinance last week despite numerous migrant arrests for violent crimes in the city this year.

Hell who cares if children are raped or sexually assaulted by illegals, Americans are murdered and illegals are dealing drugs to further destroy the country. As long as Dan has access to cheap goods all is good for him.

Has NOTHING to do with free trade.

Sure it does Dan. Under the Biden Administration the Mexican government has allowed and encouraged the Cartels free reign to facilitate illegal immigration. Politicians in Mexico are beholden to the Cartels much like our politicians are beholden to the wealthy élite in this country with the exception the Cartels are responsible for killing untold numbers of Americans each year. But all that is good with you as long as you have cheap goods.

Trump is playing a game of musical chairs, and you're lapping it up like a dog. You don't solve one crisis by creating a different one.

LMAO you are so entrenched in your opinions you can't see the forest for all the trees. Mexico will bend the knee and beg Trump for forgiveness, they already are and he's only had one phone call.
When the destruction you fear doesn't happen I have no doubt you will not admit your error.

Of course I will. Will you?

 

[2012Bearcat]

I've never had a problem admitting when I'm wrong. If you can't admit when you are wrong, you learn nothing.
What I predict is Mexico starts working to help secure the border with their military, the same way they did when Trump was in office before. I predict illegal numbers drop dramatically as does the drug trafficking. I would also suspect several Cartel leaders are taken down with the help of the Mexican government. I don't think the tariffs will be implemented but if they are it will not be for long. Tariffs would hurt Mexico far more than they would the USA and that is why they are effective.
