Auto Tariffs as Punishment for Drug/Human Trafficking

Study facts, not what Trump says.

This is not about 'facts' or 'not facts.' It is a simple ultimatum: stop drug/human trafficking or face auto import tariffs.

Now, bring in the facts that speak to what the outcome of the ultimatum will be:

Will drug/human trafficking stop or even subside? If not, what will the effect of the auto tariffs be?

Once the auto tariffs hit, will efforts to stop drug/human trafficking be stepped up to try to bring a stop to the tariffs?

Or will there be political warfare against the tariffs that ignore the task of stopping the drug/human trafficking. This is what I suspect will happen, since this seems to be the general approach taken by Trump's opponents; i.e. ignore the drug/human trafficking and just focus negative attention on Trump in order to try to replace him with someone who just ignores drug/human trafficking as something that can't be stopped.

Get your facts; most illegal drugs come through normal ports of entry, not through the southern border. https://www.politifact.com/new-york/statements/2019/jan/14/nita-lowey/majority-opioids-come-us-through-points-entry-lowe/. Your trust in Trump is an amazing thing in this day and age, when Politifact and other credible sources shows he lies most of the time.

I don't see how raising taxes on Americans counts as a "retaliation for drug/human trafficking". Auto tariffs are a tax on American consumers.

Add to this the fact that a trade war hurts workers on both sides since Mexico will feel the need to add tariffs to American products. Of course this will make China happy.
