You do realize that Mexico actually won’t pay he tariffs, right? China doesn’t pay the tariffs either. The American businesses that import the goods actually pay the tariffs. That’s how a tariff works. It’s not like a Mexican truck full of avocados is now going to get charged a 5% tax at the border. The importer pays that when it gets delivered and hen they pass that on to the store and they pass that on to you.

Nope.
Tariffs are an import tax paid by the importer not the exporter.
American companies will pay the tariffs on Mexican imports just the same as they are paying the tariffs on goods from China.
