I guess it really all depends on your own self-interest, doesn’t it? You’re OK with company X laying off a thousand other Americans as long as you keep your own job, right? I’m sorry but any company at all that sends our jobs to foreigners is treasonous.

In any case, my example was to illustrate how a tariff on the "other guy" in Mexico affects someone in the United States.

It's just how government works: it aims at a target, and hits something else. Economists call it "unintended consequences." Protectionists deny it all exists.
