You mean when the illegals can no longer send their American-made earnings to help the economies of other countries?

And we restore American industry so we don’t have to buy goods from China?

No, I mean when increased cost of labor, as a result of no longer paying illegals less than the legal wage, raises prices. See California increase in fast food minimum wage for an example.

And when the trade deficit with China, which rose under Trump but is now decreasing and is the lowest it’s been in ten years, increases due to tariffs in Chinese goods. Or is the trade deficit a good thing now?

As I’m sure you know, tariffs are passed on to the consumer, as we saw during the Trump administration. I don’t know how shrinking the disposable income of consumers will restore American industry. Maybe you can explain it to me?
