...since virtually all of the commerce that takes place ata dock is with a foreign nation...

Not even close to being true.

The media can fly a helicopter over the ocean and show ships waiting to be unloaded but they can't get photos of loaded containers in Phoenix or Salt Lake held up because there is no room in the port for storing all the outbound cargo containers. Inland export shippers rely on the ports of coastal states to load their cargo on the vessels.

There will be no mention of lost wages in Arizona or Missouri resulting from production stoppage in inland states. The international commerce is always interstate commerce.

Point somewhat noted (BTW, I know that commerce happens in both directions at a dock).
