Instead of blocking the tariffs, why aren’t Dimms trying to get Mexico to secure the border?

[ColonelAngus]

Ther there are no tariffs.

Why fight Trump instead of helping to put pressure on Mexico to secure the Guatemalan border and the US border?

Then you kill 2 birds with one stone, right? No tariffs and a secure border.

 

[occupied]

Why does Trump think that a tax hike on consumers is going to secure the border? you people still do not understand who pays tariffs and what they are for.

 

[Pilot1]

Trump knows that Mexico needs our markets and we have great leverage. He is using the threat of Tariffs to get Mexico to be a responsible neighbor and stop the dumping of their poor, and criminal element on us. Mexico will cave as will China, and the other countries in which Trump is negotiating.

This is why he was elected. The previous Presidents put up with horrible trade deals and the loss of jobs here. Plus the ILLEGAL ALIENS are a huge drain on our economy which acts like a TAX on all of us.

I was wondering if there could be a carrot somewhere in this thing with Mexico, to go with the stick (higher tariffs). We do foreign aid, right? Send some of that to Mexico to help them pay for strengthening their southern border. As long they are keeping their end of the bargain by stopping or stemming the flow of people up from Latin America, it might be a better use of that money. I'd still build our fence, though.

Another Lib that needs some education about business, the economy, and negotiating.

It’s putting pressure on Mexico because it will hurt them.

Are you playing ignorant, or are you really ignorant?

Like telling your kid he has to get a B average or else the family won’t take that summer vacation to Hawaii.

I am pretty sure you aren’t too stupid to understand the concept.

The illegal problem is there BECAUSE THE LEFT WANTS IT THERE.
The lack of funding for the border wall is there BECAUSE THE LEFT DOESN'T WANT IT THERE.
The tariff war is there BECAUSE THE LEFT WANTS IT THERE.
Trump is scorned by the world BECAUSE THE LEFT WANTS IT THERE.

There ain't hardly a problem in the nation not directly the result of Leftist-Democrat-Socialist attacks upon our country.

It's not just the Left, it is some Republicans that are being pressured by businesses that like the CHEAP LABOR.

Guatemalans, have no food... is what was reported recently of why they are coming here or Mexico... a drought...lots of farmers with no income or food...

Hondurans and Salvadorians are leaving due to crime...

we need to find a way to stem the flow out of the originating countries....

I guess that means, we need to help solve their problems....?

It would certainly cost less than paying $750 a day, out of tax payer's money, to house each one of the children.

Maybe for Guatemala it is irrigation systems, or solar pumps for obtaining deep, ground water?

Mexico helps to secure their borders, no tariffs, no border problem.

Seems like everyone wins.

Being a Trumpbot does not add a single point to your IQ. Don't try to lecture people on something you clearly know nothing about. We pay the tariffs placed on Mexico in increased prices on goods and the government gets the proceeds. If you think this is incorrect then say why you simple little genius.

 

[my2¢]

It's not only the Democrats that have a concern about the tariffs on Mexico. The US exports a good bit to Mexico and so the fear is that it'll be more than our farmers that will lose in a trade war. A secure border is a worthy goal, neither party though is buying Trump's approach.

well it is really quite simple, they could do their fking jobs in congress and correct asylum laws and we can forget the tariff. it's really quite simple. Why is congress complaining exactly? are they saying they would rather have lower wages for americans by allowing illegals into our country? hey everyone look at the congress they don't give a fk about your salaries or your money. the tariffs are a ploy distraction from their reality. why are you letting them off the hook? the media already is.

Because tariffs are a liberal tool of big government which reduces the benefits of capitalism?

Personally I'm for tariffs imposed maturely with some consideration of the Marshall Plan's effects taken into account. But I spent a lot of time being lectured by Conservatives about the evils of big government tariffs.

Who does support tariffs? Not them same Conservatives now, right?

Because it will hurt Mexico badly, dumbfuck. Mexico knows it, Trumps knows it. Only Trump hating morons like you have to ask why.

Anyone who believes the US needs to solve the world's problems to cure our immigration issue is an utter fool. The Dims in Congress could solve this problem tomorrow, but they like the inflow of Democrats.

Haha...so hold a minute...you honestly believe that tariffs imposed by the importing country are functionally designed to generate more revenue for the exporting country?
You can’t be fucking serious...ARE YOU?
