Trump Pivots From Closing Southern Border to Threatening Mexican Auto Tariffs in 1 Year
NBC San Diego ^

Posted on 04/05/2019 6:59:21 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

On Thursday, Trump also threatened tariffs if Mexico doesn't halt the flow of illegal drugs across the border, saying he'd give the country "a one year warning" to comply.

"But if in a year from now drugs continue to pour in we're going to put tariffs on," he said, adding: "I don't play games."

The highest number of illegals pouring into the US in ten years--an estimated million. And this is the response? Tariffs a year from now. Not enough. not even frigging close.

America dies a little more EVERY DAY and non one is stopping it.

Wow, this is about as impressive as Obama’s “red line”.

40 million more by the time the next election. The plan as I see it, is the overwhelm the the election with massive votes to turn it into a planned fiasco...

To all on this thread.....

The answer is simple. In a year from now, he’ll be running full steam trying to get re-elected. There will be no tariffs then either. He doesn’t want to come across or be branded as a “racist” during an election. He has hopes to carry AZ and NV.

Congress needs to get off its ass:

End chain migration, and favor merit.
End asylum loophole.
Enforce all existing immigration laws.
Mandatory eVerify.
End diversity VISA lottery.
End all social programs for illegals.
Deport VISA overstayers.
Prosecute sanctuary city/state officials.
Build the damned wall.

This is disappointing to me ...BIGLY.

Trump and his team should be out doing PR and explaining what our country went through with rationing during WWII and relate it to the emergence we face today from the alien invasion and the people in congress who support it.

The dems want a social civil war, let's give it to them. Let's educate the public, many of who still have no idea how serious this is.

Yup. It's Cloward-Piven 101.

Actually, this is threatening the companies to start moving today into the US.

A year of equipment migration will be good to undermine income in Mexico.

Trump’s a fighter - he’ll keep trying things til he finds what works...

Also, Trump and walk and crew gum at the same time...

Oh. Ok. Now we’re commenting on NBC’s spin on Trump’s actions?

Exactly.

As always, Trump operates on multiple levels simultaneously. This gives the media something to run in circles about while he works on other things. Those with no strategic thinking skill fall for it every time.

He’s not carrying either state. And he’s not carrying Florida. And there’s a chance he may not carry Texas or Georgia, either.

We had our chance. The Chamber of Commerce played chicken with him and he blinked.

It’s going to come down to some hard choices, very soon. It’ll have to be a Governor, somewhere, that says enough and have the people of that state rally around to protect, whoever that might be.

I also suspect the China trade negotiations are playing a major role in this whole thing. I would not be surprised to see major automakers closing plants in Mexico and opening new ones in China soon.

And will just force more of them to come here because they’ll have no jobs.

You do know that rationing in World War II was artificial - right? It was a psychological part of the war effort.

Don’t fall for liberal BS... they’re all liars.
