I am not going there with you again...clearly you are immovable and it would seem you prefer the status quo so you are not personally impacted. I just wanted you to be aware the tax would not be the 20% on retail.

It would seem that you are all for keeping the status quo—over a bottle of tequila... margaritas. want the wall .

“Trade bankrupt cities, overwhelmed medical services, and the rule of law for cheap guacamole.

Sure thing, Jeb!”

Amazing it took 92 posts for someone to point it out. So called “cheap” domestic produce subsidized by every single tax paying American whether they buy the product or not. Who cares what the tax on Mexican imports goes up to. We rid ourselves of criminal Illegals and as many “law abiding” Illegals as possible our true costs will drop.

Let’s see, my auto insurance goes down, because fewer uninsured, unlicensed drivers. My auto and homeowner’s insurance goes down, because crime goes down, fewer gang and drug issues leading to fewer break-ins. My property taxes go down (I’m dreaming, I know) because we’re not paying for illegals kids in schools. My health insurance premiums and costs go down, because we’re not covering uninsured illegals using our medical system and not paying. My state taxes go down, because we’re not paying for illegals on state assistance or over-using state resources. Ditto for federal assistance.

I think I can spring for 60 cents more for my guac.
