You hanker for tariffs. These were conducted during the times when we were expanding both in terms of territorial gains and population increase (millions of poor immigrants from Europe).
I state that we don't have those conditions now, at least in terms of territorial gains while the immigrants aren't welcome any more.

Admittedly we have always had immigrants coming to the USA we still do.
