BREAKING NEWS: Trump proposes 20% tax on imports from Mexico to pay for wall

[SassyIrishLass]

Mexico will agree to build the border Wall if and only If they get to build it along the original US Mexico border .....

 

[candycorn]

Watch Mexico do the same to us...

Trade war is coming.

Wouldn't this just cause American companies to start making products in America?

No. Instead of buying Mexican product, you buy one made in El Salvador and import the product into the US. What Mexico will do is sell the product to El Salvador who will turn around and sell it to us at a premium….

Trump needs to cut all foreign aid to Mexico! No American taxpayer dollars should go to that country.

I agree. Mexico is being run by drug gangs. It won't be long before it turns into another Chicago.

Too late it is. The find mass grave and beheaded bodies all over the place.
Made me laugh when they demanded their dignity!

 

[Jackson]

So, the Mexicans are not paying for the wall because the revenue collected on imports which belongs to the American people will be used for that purpose. The American consumers, then, will be paying for the Trump Wall.

Until those manufacturers come back to US soil.

 

[WillowTree]

Why are we importing Mexican produce when we have California and Florida?

 

[toomuchtime_]

They will move their factories or lose market share in the US, so of course they will close their factories in Mexico.

Closing factories will cost billions, it will never happen. The only losers will be the American consumer

It will cost millions, not billions, and it will cost more to lose market share in the US.

The loser will be the american consumer

You mean they will be the winner...

How will they be a winner paying 20% extra for merchandise

It has been explained many times in this thread that why there will not be 20% increase to consumers. Are you unable to understand what has been said?

 

[brummelben]

No, it would begin a trade war. American companies are not going to close their Mexican factories and lose billions doing so

They will move their factories or lose market share in the US, so of course they will close their factories in Mexico.

Closing factories will cost billions, it will never happen. The only losers will be the American consumer

It will cost millions, not billions, and it will cost more to lose market share in the US.

The loser will be the american consumer

American consumers will lose nothing because the federal government will lower taxes and remove unnecessary regulations to lower the cost of production and the states will offer other benefits as they compete for the new factories. Japanese cars manufactured in the US are price competitive with US cars manufactured in Mexico now, and the cost of production here will be even lower once the tax and regulator reforms are in place.

So we are going to lower taxes, just how much larger will our national debt be??

do we just import fruit from mexico?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Which will result in higher cost goods from Mexico. That fee will be passed on to the consumer for the most part. Fine by me. Build the damn wall.

No, try again

 

[Corky]

Some of those revenues, however, are likely to come from American pockets.

ALL, not some.

Wouldn't the original one be better than the one that doesn't exist now?

 

[Uncensored2008]

Why are we importing Mexican produce when we have California and Florida?

Jerry Brown has waged war on California produce. Brown has vowed to drive EVERY job that is not in Silicone Valley out of California.

It will make Mexican goods more expensive which will result in lost revenue to competition for Mexico. Bring it on

Well, ain't this interesting...

Until those manufacturers come back to US soil.

I believe the import duty of 20% will be added to all

Which will result in higher cost goods from Mexico. That fee will be passed on to the consumer for the most part. Fine by me. Build the damn wall.

You are correct; the American consumers will be paying for the Trump Wall.

You assume Trump is stupid at your own peril....

 

[WaitingFor2020]

So will Mexico pay the extra 20% or will the cost be added to what the American consumer pays?

Yes it would do just that. But it also makes it more of an incentive to buy from goods not sold in Mexico. It would be devastating to them, which is why they will realize it's much cheaper to just help pay for the wall.

yes imagine getting products from central America instead of mexico

places in Africa would like our business as well

They make a lot of flat screen TV's in Africa do they?

See for yourself. Even Ivanka is manufacturing in Africa now.

Won't American companies just move the companies to El salvador and cut out the middle man?

Correct answer. The democrats in California turned off the water to the Central Valley! I repeat why do democrats hate America?
