Unless the required costs — wages, taxes, regulatory costs — are too high to make it worthwhile.

A border tax will also kill jobs in the import/export industry, and it will bring retaliation from other countries.

We need tariffs and we need them now. The only way to repatriate industry is to raise protective tariffs.

Anyone who thinks this will spark a trade war is a disingenuous liar. We are in a trade war now. Raising tariffs now would just be retaliation for 3 decades of rape trade and de industrialization.
