That’s not how tariffs work. Tariffs are not imposed on the country from which goods are imported, they are imposed on the companies (or individuals) who are doing the importing.

So, to use Trump’s example, if the U.S. were to impose a 35% tariff on vehicles manufactured in Mexico and imported into the U.S., that 35% would not be paid by the Mexican government. It would be paid by Ford (and other manufacturers who make cars in Mexico and sell them here). And, like all taxes paid by a corporation, Ford would pass that 35% right on to the consumers who purchase the imported cars.

You might want to do yourself a favor and pick up Trump’s new book, Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again

Very educational. In fact, did you know that Mexico has a wall of their own? Yes, on THEIR SOUTHERN border. Isn’t that something?

Here’s how Trump says he’ll make Mexico pay for the wall...since you don’t care to do the research yourself, as you prefer to blather utter Open Borders nonsense....

page 25

How?
We could increase the various border fees we charge.
We could increase the fees on temporary visas.
We could even impound remittance payments derived from illegal wages.
Foreign gov’ts could tell their embassies to start helping, otherwise they risk troubled relations with America.

*******

See? No increased taxes, no tariffs.

Much more great information on our YUGE illegal immigration problem, and the problems and promises we’ve been dealing with for “more than 75 years”.

Do yourself a favor...and pick up a copy of Trump’s great book.

All proceeds benefit our wonderful vets, so it’s a win win. Vets benefit, AND an open borders lover will get the facts about the detrimental effects of illegal immigration, on this country.
