I like the idea of a tariff it is more in your face Mexico. I don’t care if there is a one time 20% raise in imported goods form Mexico. Worth it IMO. I buy a bottle of tequila once a year. If a tariff shuts all those factories dumping product into the USA then hurray for that!

If we go with tariffs, I suggest we not charge or have a much lower charge on fruits and vegetables or it will hurt a lot of lower income people, many of whom I am sure voted for Trump, at least in middle America and the South. A number of states and local jurisdictions have no sales tax on basic foodstuffs.
