Mexico is going to cave, and it's not just the tariffs. We've got the Mexicans over a barrel on energy, and if we want, we can wipe their economy out. Without American energy imports, the Mexican economy collapses.
This actually doesn't make any sense. Mexico is awash in petroleum and natural gas. But the Mexicans just can't get it out of the ground. American petroleum engineers were critical to the early success of the Mexican oil industry. From 1918 to the late '20s, Mexico was second only to the United States in oil production, and it was number one in petroleum exports. But the bounty was not fairly shared, and an inflamed Mexican nationalism booted the American oil industry out of the country. The Mexican oil industry never recovered.
Take a look at a map of the Permian basin, the source of millions upon millions barrels of daily oil production. You'll notice that the geological formation containing this plentitude of hydrocarbons extends well into Mexico. But there is no oil development on the Mexican side of the border. They can't get to the oil without our help.

I used to like Cavuto but no more. He turned into a real D bag.
President Trump will replace trade with Mexico,always a untrustworthy neighbor, with trade with Britain, a much more reliable partner. That is the answer to many of the problems on our southern border, but we really will have to deport all illegals to right the wrong that has been done to our citizens.
Wiping out the Mexican economy is a deathwish for us. Where do you think the Mexicans would go?
I hope that is being said behind closed doors...with several generals and SF colonels in attendance.
God bless Donald J. Trump.
Outstanding!
I’d hit it ... with a soccer ball.
Wipe them out and seal the border!!!
Trump is doing the job the republican Senate refuses to do.
So a 25% tariff is going to “wipe out” the Mexicans? LOL!!!!
How will an oil boom occur when the drug cartels roam all over the countryside killing wantonly to assert their dominance? Who would want to work on those fields?
What army will protect them? What's to stop the drug lords from demanding their share of the royalties?

Maybe when Trump leaves office in 2024, he can get a gig as President of Mexico!
yes, I failed to say upfront it was Cavuto I was listening to.
The man is annoyuing, and he’s not that smart...
I wonder if there’s a reason he’s not as visible on the business channel..
Where’s Charles Payne
When that 30k strong Mother of All Caravans in Mexico and heading north to the U.S. border is stopped, and they are all deported, then I will believe that Mexico has capitulated and acquiesced.
The Republicans and the Democrats are the same party. The Republicans are a foil for the Democrats to keep us divided or we’d all be arrayed against a common enemy, which is essentially Congress.
GOP? What GOP?
