This is a bad idea that will raise prices for American consumers. I hope Congressional Republicans oppose this.

20% on all imports from MEXICO.

Once again, NY Slimes headline writers playing fast-and-loose with the truth.

A tax on imports will be paid by US consumers, not Mexico.

A 20% tax on imports from Mexico will not make Mexico pay for the wall. It will make Americans pay for it.

You continue to be far behind what Trump is doing and how he negotiates. He is eating Mexico’s breakfast. They will cave. Fast.

I’m stunned by how many people don’t get Trump yet. It’s not the same old useless politics

This is a great idea for AMERICAN JOBS and to punish these damned Mexicans who sent all their criminals to our country. We now have 76,000 illegal Mexican criminals in our FEDERAL penitentiaries. I hope we stave those bastards to death!! Shut them DOWN!!

I love it.
This is going to totally slow down the habit where US manufacturers continue to close factories here and send the plants and the jobs to Mexico. You want to avoid the 20 percent tax, keep your plants here.
Almost every country out there including China Japan and Mexico impose import taxes of one form or the other. Mexico has been getting away with murder.

ONLY for those consumers who insist on buying Mexican goods.

So you're you're siding with the globalist open borders at any price crowd because you need fruit and vegatables contaminated with bacteria de jour, cheap trinkets, badly assembled furniture, etc, etc, oh, and Corona Light?

Buy American.

No Mas!

Yeah me too.

After all, just think of how much money people who are out of work will save.

It’s obvious their paycheck will go farther!

Oh..., wait...

Hold illegal border crossers for ransom.

$5,000 each in 24 hours or off to the Aleutians in Alaska for six months.

Spicer's actual remarks.

I’m skeptical about tariffs since it’s always been a lib thing, but maybe we could use a Mexico-only tariff as a test of sorts. Don’t pass any broader tariffs until we see the results of the Mexico one.

I’m not an economist but I would think the tariff would level the playing field with prices so we would now buy American what we used to buy Mexican.

Then demand becomes less for Mexican goods, and they come crying for help.

So many people don’t understand Trumps techniques, but that is part of how they work.

Thank you for being part of the solution.

It will very quickly have industry return home if he also cuts regulations and taxes on hem like he said. It will destroy Mexico.

I do believe one still has a choice to NOT buy Mexican products, including vehicles with mexican made parts.

We are not forced to buy rebuilt auto parts in mexico, sure they are cheaper, but at a tradeoff, lesser quality.

Time to admit we really just have to man up and buy Made in America, its more expensive yes.

For now, not for long though.
