My thought is that this is temporary and Mexico will finally get religion or else concerning illegal immigrants:
I think there are too many folks on our side who don’t grasp what the stakes here are.
You pay zero tariff fee increases if you don’t purchase merchandise from Mexico.
Give it several months of collapsing sales. And I think Mexico will be doing it’s best to stop illegal immigration.
It also sends a message to our companies that have moved production to Mexico.
Maybe that wasn’t such a smart idea after all.
Ted’s response is typical of some Republicans. It certainly make it clear Ted would not have gone to the lengths Trump has to put an end to illegal immigration.
