Getting Tough on Mexico
5% tariff starting June 10th and 5% more every month until Mexico gets a handle on the flow of illegals through their country to USA.
Also much traction for private parties building sections of wall cheaper and faster than the gooberment and core of engineers can.

I best buy some "good" tequila before the price reflects.
Personally I'd rather the Tariffs stay in place until REAl progress is made on the border. 1000 crossed into the U.S. yesterday in ONE BIG GROUP. Walked under an open fence, crossed the border, lined up and were taken,, ???? somewhere where they were furnished food, shelter, medical care etc. FOR FREE.
Some towns in Central America have large numbers of vacant and abandoned properties.

Want to avoid high prices from Mexico? Buy from another country LIKE THE USA that doesn't pay Tariffs or just don't buy from Mexico. Mexico will crater, sooner rather than later.
Fining and jailing anyone who hires an Illegal, stopping birthright citizenship for those born from mothers that are here illegally ,
Giving no benefits such as food stamps, housing, medical care to illegals . Applying voter ID and benefit application regulations to make sure they do not vote and mandatory jail time to anyone who aids them in illegal fraudulant activities, such as false ID's and illegal voting.
All asylum applications have to be filed at the US embassy in the country in which they live.
Create a data base for those deported and severe penalties for those who get caught more than once , such as mandatory work camps for 9 months the first re-entry and double that each time. If they have committed a misdemeanor crime, then apply the 9 months the first time caught . If a felony crime 18 months in prison on top of the normal time that would be assigned for that crime. If the crime is one of causing or committing a death, then mandatory capital punishment after a single appeal within 1 year of the crime. Punishment to be carried out within 15 days of the end of that year.
Personally I believe that is very fair.
The next step, in my mind, is to come up with laws that punish politicians that purposely undermine , propose to undermine , or ignore constitutional laws that they have sworn to protect. Punishment is loss of public office and any benefits acquired.
Have NO PROBLEM with any of this post and it all should have been done 20 years ago. Big items are hiring and fraudulent ID's. Remember, illegal aliens can get driver's licenses legally.
Darned liberals!
It seems to me the only ones that vote for a democrap are illegals and welfare queens.
I support Real voter ID
If Mexico doesn't step up helping stopping the flow of illegals then we should close the border. Gallup pole south of the border shows 42 MILLION that want to migrate to the U.S.
I was thinking, 1000 could overwhelm a citizen fully armed. Maybe even 10 citizens fully armed. Someone mentions 40 million wanting in? Border patrol and military won't be able to stop them.
The first cockroach caught crossing into Mexico should have been dealt with. Now Mexico can't stop em.
I keep remembering reading about an ant invasion, where the ants keep coming, through fire, and through flood gates. I wanna say Gullivers Travels, but just don't know. This INVASION reminds me of such a thing. We may not be able to stop it. The sheer numbers will overwhelm us.
If now more than ever, one should see the necessity to have fully auto weapons and high cap mags in the citizens hands.
And yes, the American Farmer should be able to benefit from the tariffs. All that food that China don't want, can be used here to fill the gap from slowing the imports from Mexico.
Maybe Mexico can convert the produce fields to pot and export to China? Talk about a win win situation.
Definitely not a fan of using them for something unrelated to trade.
As we all know, an import tariff is a tax on the consumer of the product being imported. The country or companies that are exporting do not pay the tariff, it is the companies that are importing the product.
That said, it appears that, as this latest big group was comprised mainly of Guatemalans, it appears that the government of Mexico, if not complicate in their being transported through Mexico, at a minimum allowed their transit, and it that respect should be held responsible in some fashion.
Now with that said, it is the responsibility of a sovereign to protects its own borders from intrusion by others. The simple fact that Congress has failed to act for the past 3 decades to fix this problem does not make the protection of our borders the responsibility of the Mexican Government.

The tariff will equalize the playing field and allow Americans to prosper. HOW IS THAT A BAD THING?
Oh the greedy self serving consumers will whine and cry because of higher prices, while the AMERICAN farmer finally pays on his mortgage.
100% tariff on all incoming goods, $100 admission fee with proper papers every crossing. You pay to get into Disney Land, lets charge admission, and kick them out at the end of the day.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Frankly, I do not see them meddling in our government's affairs. What evidence do you have they are?

The flow of illegals would have ceased within a few days as the word would have spread quickly.
Also, any town, city, state that enacted sanctuary status would have lost any and all federal funding instantly.

We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
The people are not getting taxed, it is COGS. It levels the field from foreigners abusing their people with slave labor, the same thing that causes them to flee to here. So it actually accomplishes quite a few things when properly put in place.
Can help pay for wall
Can help US farmers and companies compete with cheap labor
Can punish or persuade Mexico to stop the flow and cooperate with the USA
The dems will not stop it, any time they can dig into the pockets of anybody, they are for it. They may make the "grand gesture", but they will eagerly comply.
Hadn't thought about that story for 50+ years. Required reading in High School. :shock: The story teaches any threat can be conquered if man is prepared and resourceful.
The story is also about the value of being prepared in the face of bad news.

Got some range time in today, but as I mentioned, if 40 million come, there will be no stopping them.

Looks like Mexico might slowing down the tide a little after DJT promised to put the screws to them if they did not behave.
This is the rats plan to take total control of the USA.
More scum than good people?
The scum win.
Do EVERYTHING you legally can to eliminate the demonrat RICO gang or get used to the NWO
Bet Mexico would promise anything within 24 hours to solve the problem.
Move everyone we have in camps, etc and push them into Mexico.
Arrest anyone hiring an illegal. Stiff penalties on second offense.
Yep, I know, I must be dreaming.
