Ultimately, it's the cross-border producer who pays when a company inside the United States realizes it can produce the same product and sell it domestically 'tariff-free' for much less.
TARIFFIC!

Usually the tariff has to get up around 50% before there is any interest in moving production back to the USA. Our "Cost of Democrats" is just far too high to make new large-scale production of most goods cost-effective.
But many Mexican products are agricultural and already have domestic alternatives, so even Trump's small tariffs put Mexican exports at grave risk.

Yes. Unfortunately we will also have to start drinking Scotch instead of Tequila. Although I must admit, had a shot of high end Tequila once that might as well have been scotch lol.
