On both sides. I figure it'll eventually come down to a trade war with tariffs imposed by both countries and see who gives in first.
Can you list Mexico’s trade leverage? Avocados?
Trump is rewarding repatriation of manufacturing and promising border taxes. Advantage: USA
We give:
foreign aid
illegals send money home.
corrupt LEO and judges have allowed drug and human trafficking to continue. Mexican elites profit.
US tourism is easy, visa-free and cheap, to date.
We buy Mexican produce. Give CA farmers water and they can grow it here. Raise wages and Americans can work what fields aren’t mechanized.
I love year-round produce, but I’ll pay more if it furthers border security and I’m an admitted cheapskate.
