Republican senators sent the White House a sharp message on Tuesday, warning that they were opposed to President Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Mexican imports, just hours after the president said lawmakers would be “foolish” to try to stop him.
...
“I want you to take a message back” to the White House, Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, told the attorneys, according to people familiar with the meeting. “You didn’t hear a single yes” from the Republican conference. He called the proposed tariffs a $30 billion tax hike on Texans.

Yes, and it’s paid by the American buyer.
Many of our fellow Americans have paid for illegal immigration with the lives of family members. Daughters like Kate Steinle. Sons like Jamil Shaw. Count your blessings that you have not and support POTUS as he tries end this madness.
They are all too corrupt to feel shame with the exception of a few that are true heroes you can count on less than two hands.
“we’ll see you at the polls!!!”
Amen! to that!
I hate this grandstanding. If you have an issue, call the President and discuss it with him. You don’t negotiate via the media. It’s a scummy thing to do.
Yeah..........if their lips are flapping.......or writers are writing, it's most likely a lie.......or only a partial truth.
Tarifs are not bad any time, Mexico can Produce at a fraction of what it costs Americans, they have already put many of American
Farmers out of business
I think it’s obvious.
Cruz’s dad killed JFK, so there’s that.
And that is why we need a new party. I hope Trump reaches the same conclusion.
Trump will veto anything curtailing his tariff prerogatives. And good on him.
What? No reach-around?
A lot of us started out with Sen. Cruz... Until candidate Trump said he would make us proud to be an American. Cruz acts like s child in comparison.
Cruz ping for DoughtyOne.

The mumbling is that the Senate could override.
I really doubt they could get the 60-70 Reps needed in the House, though.
Cruz has been dead to me since his Convention treachery.
All the other stuff is just bunk...this is the real Cruz.
They can over ride the veto easily with ALL the Dems voting for it AND half of Republicans!!!
American tax payers are paying endlessly for their food, housing, healthcare SO we have to pay more for tomatoes GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!!!
Pres Trump needs to tax remittances to Mexico.
Pres Trump needs to tax remittances to Mexico.
It wouldn’t be effective Too many different ways to send money now. Phone apps, etc. Some type of crossing the border fee/toll is probably best.
Of course not. They are mostly deep state operatives.
