Trump announces escalating tariffs against Mexico,starting at 5 percent until illegal immigrants

There is a happy medium between no border and the Berlin Wall.

 

Free market conservatives may support "open borders" for free trade, but no one is seriously proposing unregulated immigration and emigration. That is another fake meme mindlessly parroted by the eagerly deluded.

Kamakazi whackjobs are eager to savage the United States. They are the fanatical lickspittles who are giddy over their unstable messiah's every spiteful self-indulgence, but their now targeting American enterprise and the American consumer is a crackpot mission.

I expect Trump will weasel out of his crazy stunt and contrive a fake excuse for doing so, but it's one more instance of childish behavior, like his shutting down the government when the American people refused to squander billions on his his, beautiful wall that he had insisted he would make Mexico pay for.

Meanwhile, let's buy outspoken conservative Republican George Conway a commodore outfit and place him at the helm of a flotilla up the Potomac, every vessel proudly named the "John S. McCain"!

​

 

We have open borders right now. That could not happen without the tacit support of the entire corrupt bipartisan ruling political class.

 

Please give us the details and a source.

 

Has Trump recently declared "open borders"?

According to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services apprehend 396,579 people caught illegally crossing the border in the year ending September 30, 2018 and process about 100,000 asylum seekers.

In November, 2016, over 41,000 were being held. The Department of Homeland Security says 340,056 people were deported in fiscal 2016.

Does Trump's new "open border" policy also apply to the two-thirds of illegals who overstay visas to remain in the US?

Meanwhile, there is widespread fear that Trump's raving incoherently about his tariff fetish could destroy the US economy.

 

The vast majority of visa overstays return home within a few months.

They don't want to jeopardize their place in line to eventually apply for citizenship.

As far as the tariff gloom and doom, weve heard it multiple times and it never pans out like critics say.

 

Dirty Donald also cancelled the U.S.General System of Preferences(GSP)agreement with India on Friday which was part of the 1921 tarrif lines.It is quite evident that he is intent on alienating the USA from every country in the world EXCEPT RUSSIA????

 

Hell, Bumps, the reckless republican MORON might just take down the whole damn world...

Of course, looking at the bright side, that would TORPEDO the republican assh*le's re-election bid...

 

That may not be for patriotic Americans to control.

Indeed, more than 98.5 percent of those admitted through airports and seaports departed before their admissions expired in 2016. But the sheer amount of travel — some 54 million visitors who came through those air and sea ports — means even that small overstay rate works out to nearly 740,000 illegal immigrants.

Kamikazi Trumpers will place absolute faith in their messiah over experts every time.

 

Im fine with it India is doing far better now that is is adopting more free market principles.

It needs to be able to take care of itself, and not at our expense.

Same goes vice versa.

 

The wall is going up. Can't stop it.

 

Go-Fund-Me wall fanciers can delight in their erections wherever they can purchase rights from private property owners and comply with applicable ordinances and building restrictions.

Meanwhile, Blowhard is huffing and puffing because 2 years of a Republican-controlled Senate and Republican-controlled House refused to give him taxpayer dollars for his "big, beautiful wall!" that he promised Mexico would pay for and that most Americans do not want. (They were otherwise occupied - failing to repeal and replace 'ObamaCare'.)

His tantrump would have serious repercussions, were he not to wimp out and claim he won - as when he had one of his hissyfits and shut down the government when he didn't get his way.

 

Mexico finally sent the money ?

 

Economists are starting to throw around the recession word and the stock market just moved below it's 200 day moving average. Trump is not going to be remembered fondly.

 

Then you won't look back on the next 5+ years fondly.

 

The only reason the average voter has tolerated Trump's Drama Queen behavior is because the economy has been reasonable healthy. Even the slightest downturn around election time and Trump is gone.

 

Hope springs eternal.

 

Trump should look at what Obama was doing back when crossings were much lower.

 

It would be wonderful if each of us had a Unicorn too..

 

All I can say is that the right wing has found their new scapegoat, Mexicans. For the last 400 years, the people from Mexico have been among us in varying numbers. They have given us their names, their culture, their language, their food, their labor, their children, their music, their religion and now some of us say none of it matters. They have worked themselves into a lather. I pity the person who sits around their house thinking the world, their world, is determined by a bunch of poor down and out Mexicans. It's a great example of how propaganda works.

 

Mexico is going to feel the war going on here.

Trump isn't going to side with corrupt democrats and mexican politicians, or the cartels.

 

Looks like we are getting an idea of the extent of Trumps new tariff.

Chipotle says its burritos may go up in price by 5 cents, to make up the difference.

 

Like ruining the economy?

 

Instead, Trump has decided to ruin the US and Mexican economy at the same time!
