Let's see... trade agreements with China have funded the military of a nation that calls us the Main Enemy.

Well, if they call us names we shouldn't trade with them.

NAFTA has increased illegal immigration.

NAFTA reduced tariffs. Were there tariffs on illegals? Raising tariffs now would hurt Mexico's economy. You think that would reduce the flow of illegals? That's funny!

Tell you what, let's keep the trade and build a wall instead.

So, we can't trade with China and Mexico, what about Japan? Is that okay? Maybe India? What about Ireland? Is that okay? Or are they nasty foreigners too?

This is a bit more serious than "calling us names".

"NAFTA reduced tariffs. Were there tariffs on illegals? Raising tariffs now would hurt Mexico's economy. You think that would reduce the flow of illegals? That's funny!"

These trade packages are significantly more complex than just tariff reductions. NAFTA brought up from southern Mexico many farm workers looking for the factory jobs that never came to be. They continued north into the US.

"Or are they nasty foreigners too?"

This country and government exists to put Americans first. You'd have us last.
