Yeah, this makes sense.
So, since the Mexican product is taxed to produce an -- what? 20% -- higher price then companies are going to invest in new factories and staff in the US to produce something they are already making in Mexico, after investing in new factories and staff. Ummm, no. We'll just pay the tariff. Meanwhile, Mexico will start dealing with China.
Not saying it's all going to go that way. Some industries will relocate here and make a larger population of people seeking to sneak across our border.
The only long term solution to illegal immigration from Mexico is to work with Mexico to improve it's economy. Trump's wall is forecast to cost up to 50 billion in wasted dollars. Maybe we can put that money to better use. Also end the war on drugs, which is dragging Mexico down by funding criminal organizations there.
