As a resident and taxpayer in Los Angeles, I am well aware of the costs everytime they issue a new bond for infrastructure, transportation, ports, environmental cleanup, etc. That doesn’t even include the cost of beefing up border crossings, customs, security, etc. That you are unaware of the costs does not mean they don’t exist. Do some research.
So your solution is to increase tariffs, rather than increase the docking, transport, and processing fees the port charges, is that correct?
