The kids buy that Corona crap and pot, the pot isn't subjected to tariffs.

A lot of the heavy stuff that used to be made in the US or Canada ... cars, trucks, appliances, electronics

A lot ... and that's the problem with NAFTA

Tomatoes, Wrangler Blue Jeans, furniture, kitchen cabinet doors, beer, Tequila, picture frames, auto parts. These are just some of the products I personally know of. There are 1000’s.

There are a lot of manufactured wood products made in Mexico from lumber that is produced in the US. We(my company) ship the lumber(mostly southern Pine and Ponderosa Pine) and they ship back finished products.

I know of a company that makes picture frames just across the border from San Diego. We sell them pine lumber. They ship back to the US and Canada picture frames.

I also know that there are huge companies in Mexico that make kitchen cabinet doors. They ship them to the big cabinet companies in the US where they are assembled.

What do we buy from Mexico? Almost all your produce, especially in winter. Cars. Clothes. Much from China through Mexico. Sugar. Cement. And on and on.

Your overlords sent almost the entire manufacturing and assembling industries to Mexico, much of which was taken then to China.

>>>What do we buy from Mexico?

A lot of oil for one thing. Overall, we import a higher percentage of the oil that we use than is the case with steel. I anticipate we will soon have tariffs on all crude imports in the name of national security.

I think it’s more likely to be on things they buy from us.

But as for what they export to us, there’s various foods, drinks, finished good including clothing, cars, and TVs ... lots of stuff.

TVs: Samsung makes some of their sets in Mexico ... I know because I look to see if there are options besides buying anything made in Communist China, which I avoid if at all possible.

Beer, sombreros, and tequila. We also import millions of illegals.

A lot of seasonal produce.

Right now the Mexican Peso is worth $.05 Dollars. (a nickel)

That is $1 = 20 Peso’s

Very bad situation, that is self inflicted by widespread ignorance, corruption and Drug Cartels.

If we “stop” the drug traffic, how long would Mexico survive? Interesting thought.

Lots of stuff. We send tons of auto parts, machinery and appliance components etc, they do something with them, and then we re-import it all back. Tariffs and duties on all that stuff that ought to be worked on it the US by US workers.... Bring it all home baby!
