President Trump has declared escalating tariffs against Mexico if the latter does not help curb the flow of illegals from Central America. The Daily Caller reports:
President Donald Trump shocked not only the international community but Congress, as well, when he announced new tariffs on Mexico in an attempt to halt illegal immigration at the U.S. southern border.
Now, the markets are showing signs of trepidation.
Trump has said that starting June 10, the United States will be implementing a 5% tariff on all imports from Mexico. These newest rounds of tariffs are reportedly in response to the largest illegal immigration crossing at the El Paso border earlier this week, where a group of over 1,000 migrants illegally crossed the border. (RELATED: Here’s How Mexico Could Respond To Trump’s Tariff Threat)
The tariffs are projected to increase incrementally each month by five percentage points until reaching a 25% tariff on Mexican imports by October if Mexico fails to better address illegal migration into the United States.
This is a first step to coerce Mexico into policing its own borders, and could be supplemented by an attack on remittances back to the country as well.
Do you guys care that there is actually no “True Daily LLC” in the Commonwealth of Virginia? The physical address on these webpage is to a UPS office. Could this is justbe activities results of Russian trolls? Are you being trolled? Is some KGB programmer rattling your cage and getting you to react?
Glad to see so many that agree with what the president is doing, me too! I sent him a post card saying so, y’all should too. He needs to hear from us. Mexico is not a friend and it’s past time we treated them as such.
Never underestimated The Donald
Don’t allow the illegals to send money back to their respective countries and see how long this crap will last. That will not hurt anyone but the illegals, the people they are sending money to and their country of origin but it will make a world of difference to the people of this country.
The President is not attacking Mexico. The President is DEFENDING the United States-HIS JOB!!! If he had the slightest backing from his OWN(not really) party-the immigration problem would be 70% solved by now.
TIME TO TELL THE POLITICIANS TO EITHER GET ON BOARD OR GET OUT, OF THE WAY, THE WALL IS GOING UP!
These are NOT asylum seekers nor is this immigration, rather it is an INVASION of ILLEGAL ALIENS into our once great country!
We already have some 30 million plus ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS, and now we MUST STOP this continued invasion in its tracks. ALL MUST BE DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY.
Time to SHUT DOWN our southern border and STOP ALL FEDERAL-AID going to foreign countries. Start charging a 25% REMITTANCE FEE ON ALL MONEY BEING SENT TO MEXICO, and other Central American countries.
BOYCOTT MEXICO, and other Central American countries!!!
END DACA, End Chain Migration, End Anchor babies, Make E-VERIFY MANDATORY, REDUCE the number of legal immigrants entering the USA, CLOSE LOOPHOLES in our immigration laws, End TPS, Build the Wall, and ENFORCE our current immigration laws.
DEPORT THEM BACK TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY!
The invasion started before 1986 and has continued to this day, only many times the total each year going even higher of ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS entering the US ILLEGALLY.
Time to put our military on our southern border and finally put a STOP to this insane madness. If that means separating children from their parents in order to prosecute the ILLEGAL INVADERS, then so be it!
president trump has worked harder and better than that idiot Obama. I do not understand the people who hate him. it is like the man who brings home a bad of gold and the people say they do like the or the weight. old saying you can’t help stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. the democratic party has shown to be just obstructionist. They would fight president Trump then help mexico border wall
We are going to see outbreaks of diseases and crime . Why can’t w say if aliens say need sanctuary why not mexico. when a 72 year old woman can destroy our country it is time the democratic party better step up who in right mind would vote democratic.
I think that President Trump has the right idea. Secure the border and vest the people who what to come here. If they have a job or a sponsor that’s fine, but if they want to come here and live off our money throw them out period.
“President Trump’s Bold Attack on Mexico”
What a misleading headline.
Mexico is a beautiful place filled with many wonderful people many of whom are my relatives…
Those in Power in Mexico have been exploiting the indigenous people since they arrived.. Spanish, French. Now Mosques are showing up as another group of exploiters arrive.. We would not be surprises to see a Venusian Economic Delegation to arrive any day and declare themselves new “Masters” of Mexico.
Oh, I forgot to mention Chinese with suitcases full of cash are arriving in Mexico City daily? ( The Venusians better get with it or they will get left behind)
As long as the US is an Economic Safety valve where good and productive people dissatisfied with the Mexican Government can flee. The Mexican Government will continue to represent the exploiters not the people..
The “Reconquista” Political movement in the US has been led largely by Well Heeled Tenured Communist Public University Professors who view the American People and Republic as enemies to be destroyed. It is a movement which has been around 30 years far longer than Europe’s “Migration Problem”
That movement largely failed as long as a majority of those arriving were more or less willing to work and assimilate primarily into the Western parts of the United States ie Mexicans..
You can imagine their frustration of those sad Communist Professors when the first thing in their eyes those “ignorant brown peasants pawns (Peons) ” from Mexico wanted was.. A Job,, a nice Car, a House.. a Family, a Safe community.. to own firearms (Largely Banned in Mexico) and worse still they kept showing up in Christian Churches”
They helped elect Ronald Reagan (What a disaster for the “International Workers Movement” leaving Communist Professors everywhere weeping in their Morning Lattes. as they tried to wake their Cute Coed of the week and send her off to her other classes. (These virtue signalling moral paragons of PC . have no University policy restrictions on sexual contact with their Students)
Charges of “Racisim” have always been a source of amusement for the citizens of States like Arizona (who elected the first American Governor of Hispanic decent 90 years ago.)
Telling Arizonians they hate “Brown People” or “Mexicans” when the majority of Arizona’s founding families are or include “brown branches” has always been a Knee Slapper to the actual people who live there.. Most recently It was “Brown Arizonians ” who had to promise they would still clean the Pools, Wash the Cars.. Clean the houses of Elitist Eastern US originated Carpet Baggers residing in Scottsdale (Wealthy Enclave in Phoenix Az) .. all just in order to pass a law requiring American to include Brown Americans with car payments and mortgages on their modest houses be hired as opposed to 15 Illegal Immigrants hired at slave wages from Mexico living in a run down single wide trailer in the back of someone’s property with sketchy power, questionable water and a overrunning septic tank..
The majority of “Racists” out there today are radicalized racially conscious University Students/drop outs most of whom cannot complete even with marginal competence. STEM Majors. However many “A’s” they get in “Aggrieved Studies”
The working people.. this Nation’s Deplorable Class… Brown, Black, White, American Indian .. Asian.. have had enough.. and they are no longer drinking the Kool Aid..
Trump’s election?
A manifestation of that awareness that Neither Party represented the People..
Tariffs on goods? Nothing more than nudge, a bit of incentive for those Countries affected to consider working in the best interest of all those affected to include the American people..
Fair notice was given over two years that one way or another “Mexico would Pay for the Wall” Even the opposition party supported an electronic “Virtual” Wall.
Well Ones and Zeros in the form of Dollars in the form or Tariffs. is just that now isn’t it? A dis-incentive to support illegal immigration..
Most never saw it coming .
Well played …
Brilliant wend run around the SWAMP
Unfortunate that the drug cartels control Mexico.
They will never stop the flow of drugs and illegals.
Mexico’s municipal governments are owned by the Drug Cartel. Local officials either sell out or become fertilizer in lawless Mexico.
The Central government is fully aware of what is going on and they encourage it as the Drug Trade is their number one source of new money in Mexico, Number two is money wired South from folks working in the USA.
When their export economy dry’s up they will come to the bargaining table . . it’s their decision “when”.
They are bleeding the taxpayers of this country with the Gov’t handouts. I found out the other day that they are no longer Illegals. The states that are welcoming them are calling them “REFUGEES”. Give me a break, THEY ARE INVADERS AND FOR THE MOST PART FREELOADERS. Re-open Ellis Island and make them use it like my ancestors did. They are draining this country dry ;and coming strictly for the freedoms and handouts.
You’re right. I call them ILLEGAL TRESPASSING SQUATTERS.
Soros is paying these people to come here they aren’t just deciding to hike miles fir a reason or for money ,Soros should be deemed enemy of the USA!!!!
AMEN!!
I agree!!
Time to bring in the local militias…the crazier the better. Strike the fear of God in the invaders so they never want to come back. Have mobile units with judges saying…”no,no no….go, go ,go!!! The people are going to have to act. The liberals won’t let Trump do what he has to do. Good luck Pelosi telling some Texas rednecks what to do. Maybe the militias can have tee shirts that say: “Nancy Go Fuck Your Self”
Ooh I like that suggestion!
Ooh I like that suggestion!’
There should be huge cargo planes lining the border. The minute the illegal aliens cross, they get loaded up into the cargo planes and flown right back to their country and dropped off. Time to play hardball.
Dropped without a parachute?
What choice does he have …How many times do you have to ask, then tell, then threaten..then finally…do the the thing that everyone understands ..MONEY!!!!!!!It is no different than bum rushing, gate crashing, invading…The wall, proof of citizenship for voting and census…no Social services for anyone illegal, or arriving … they need to be sponsored and the party responsible for them . Total responsibility..economic and behavior…if they closed their borders in the south…they would not end up at ours …don’t want to then they’re all yours…seems simple enough…
Put cattle trailers at the border ready to run the invaders onto the trailers and head south to Central America! Hop you enjoyed your hike now we’ll take you home!
Vote all Dems and RINOs out. We need the wall and tighter security. The invaders should be deported. Put immigration judges on the border for a quick hearing and deportation. We are being played.
Hearing about what–that they broke the law? They’ve already demonstrated that by trying to enter at a non-border crossing. Thus, they’re guilty. Time to load ’em back onto a cargo plane and drop them off in their country of origin.
INVADERS. YOU MEAN INVADERS DON’T YOU?
