The arguments of the Never-Trump coalition against the president’s newly-announced Mexico tariffs are growing sillier by the day. “The price of avocados will skyrocket!” they insist. Okay… but do we get to keep our country as a result?
Some of the stuff that we import from Mexico for cheap prices will get more expensive if we impose tariffs against them. That seems like a minor short-term pain compared to the possibility of literally having America dissolve beneath an unending wave of illegal immigration.
More expensive vegetables… versus… apocalypse. Gosh, we can’t make up our minds about this one!
In case you missed the news, a horde of migrants from Africa just swam across the Rio Grande and overwhelmed the Border Patrol once again. The entire world knows that our southern border is wide open and if you just make it across, you get to stay forever (as long as you skip out on your court hearings).
This is an invasion and President Trump seems to be the only person in Washington who understands what a massive, civilization-ending event that will be if we don’t stop it.
Trump will impose a 5 percent tariff on all Mexican goods starting on June 10th, and it goes up by 5 percent every month until Mexico stems the flood of illegals. Free-trade economists, leftists and Democrats are all moaning about the petty financial costs of goods, while Trump is trying to save America.
Check out this video to see how many economists are now wailing about how awful tariffs are, while not considering the alternative at all.
