Trump Unleashes Tariffs On Mexico "Until Illegal Immigration Stops"

[axiomata]

Besides the fact that the prices rose immediately after the tariff took effect, do you have any evidence to substantiate the claim that it was the tariffs that caused the increase in prices, and not just fluctuations in the washing machine market cycles?

Washing machine prices have increased because Trump has shut down these company's money laundering operations.

Being reliant on hostile foreign countries that are facilitating an invasion designed to turn us into a communist dictatorship is an emergency and it is a very bad idea.

Good. Apply economic pressure to stop the funneling of illegal immigrants. I am approve. It appears Trump is just going to make Mexico our border wall. Good.

If the tariffs make things more difficult in Mexico, more of them may decide to go to the US to look for work. More immigrants.

They are already a hellhole and they are in the midst of destroying themselves further with AMLO's communism, we can only gain by pressuring them to stop helping the invasion.

We do need to do even more to secure the borders but this is a very good step.

"communism!" "Invasion!" "Destroy"! Get those important key words in your discussions. Repeat often.

It won't. The money makers in Mexico know what goose lays the golden egg. It's not the illegal trespassers from it's more southern states, which costs them, and their citizens are getting tired of putting them up. It's an easy fix for better relations. 1,125 miles of border enforcement. A hell of a thick wall. Sounds like a winning plan to me.

I'm not sure what makes me more sad

that America expects other countries to enforce our laws

or that any members of Ron Paul forums defends the practice.

Mexico may pay for the wall after all.

Tariffs are paid by Americans.

Facilitating the invasion of our country is an act of war against us.

 

[Schifference]

Mexico may decide that it is in their best interest to keep people that are in their country from entering the US. Would be easier for Mexico to do that if they had a wall to keep their people in.

 

[Swordsmyth]

Tariffs are paid by Americans.

Not necessarily, the exporter often lowers their prices to keep the marketshare and if Mexico stops aiding the invasion the tariffs will go away.

 

[Stratovarious]

That is true, but it will hurt Mexico more and why would you not want
to keep illegals out of America, unless you are a Globalist?

 

[nikcers]

Lots of Mexicans will pay for it too effectively since they live here.

not enforcing our laws <> Facilitating

when your arguments are that sophomoric - you should really reconsider your position

That can be the case as well , though it's not guaranteed, taxes go up, prices go up, inflation
hits manufacturers the market/buyers pays.
Sure there is a squeeze at the factories to a point, then they start shutting down if they don't
cover 'new' expenses.
