If the crisis persists, however, the Tariffs will be raised to 10 percent on July 1, 2019.” In addition, if Mexico does not take dramatic action to reduce or eliminate the number of illegal aliens crossing its territory into the U.S., “Tariffs will be increased to 15 percent on August 1, 2019, to 20 percent on September 1, 2019, and to 25 percent on October 1, 2019,” the White House added. “Tariffs will permanently remain at the 25 percent level unless and until Mexico substantially stops the illegal inflow of aliens coming through its territory.”
It's gonna backfire. If you taught the Chinese were resilient/patriotic, ooh boy, wait 'til you see 100 million pissed off mexicans led by a lefty itching to spite an arrogant meddling yankee gringo. It's just as likely just another lie/distraction for the base as NAFTA 2.0 is about to be ratified
I see. So Mexico is facilitating the migration of South and Central America into the United States but Trump is the one "meddling." You may wake up and find in 2020 that some of what you consider to be Trump's base, used to be part of the dem base. Would not be the first time that happened, eh?
They're not facilitating entry into the US, The US has sovereignty over its territory as does Mexico. If we can't monitor our borders, it's our business, not Mexico's.
Trump just told Mexico that he will be monitoring our border. CHAAA-CHING!!!!!!!!!!!! Notice how I overlooked your statement that Mexico is not facilitating the entry of foreigners into this country (both from Mexico and further down). Idiot incarnate. That kind of stupid cannot be fixed.
What about all t hose U.S. companies who opened factories in Mexico and then ship their goods back across the border. As usual, it will be Americans shooting themselves in the foot while Mexico laughs. Also watch as those suffering U.S. companies bring lawsuits to enforce NAFTA. This should be fun...
For the record, I do not agree with the tariff. However, I'm trying to understand your position here. You are saying it is the US's fault and responsibility to deal with the immigration issue, but you have also supported immigration and rallied against solutions that would solve illegal immigration. Do I have an accurate understanding of your position? Because it really seems like it is inconsistent.
