    It's a tax, I thought you guys would love that.

    When the government, any government around the world, wants to get people or businesses into compliance, what is their first course of action? It's usually a financial penalty known as a fine.

    600K plus.

    Nobody can sell them.

    Leftists also stopped zoning "single family residences" so the neighborhoods are packed with illegals.

    Those were the arguments the left has been making for years. Now they've blown up in your collective faces because you know you were peddling lies.

    If they weren't selling them they wouldn't be building them. Your construction industry would be ****ed. That UE rate should be fun to see.

    Home sales down over 10 percent this year.

    The construction industry is only slowly catching up.

    A neighbor was working construction nearby for 2 years and was just laid off last month.

    the problem is most illegals did come here legally, they just overstay their visa's - how does Mexico stop that?

    "Looks like Mexico is paying for the wall after all."

    American consumers pay the import tax, not Mexico

    It means AMERICAN workers will be paying 25% more for anything from China and anything from MEXICO.

    When you hold all the cards, you make the rules.

    We finally have a president with a backbone. Its refreshing.

    No more apology tours.

    Our orange orangutan president imports the maximum number of low skilled immigrants every year to staff his hotels and golf courses.

    The vast majority of visa overstays return home within a few months.

    Thats about all that will change, I suspect.

    Good for the california avocado trade.

    Mexicos cartels now control the avocado industry in Mexico, its that lucrative for them to sell in the US.

    Mexico will build a wall on their side, at their expense, to lift the tariffs.

    doesn't mean the vast number of illegals entered legally and overstayed their visa's - the answer to reduce that woudl be to reduce visa's

    Trump realizes he’s getting owned by China so now he’s trying to divert our attention by showing how stupid he can be with Mexico.

    Typical Trump move: stupid, and immediately lauded by his sycophant cult followers.

    They stop the ones they can stop, like the caravans. And they should stop educating people on how to sneak into this country and what to do when they get here.

    Not to mention the money they spend at American businesses and the sales tax they contribute to local and state governments. But the Republicans have demonstrated they don’t know anything about economics and they don’t care to learn.

    And we pay hundreds of millions a year for the 30,000,000 illegal aliens already here. So what's your point?? I don't hear you complaining about the ongoing costs of having these parasites in our country illegally.

    Why should Mexico think real hard? America has a brain-dead buffoon for a president who’s dividing the country. The U.S. will implode from these asinine tariff moves long before it hurts Mexico.

    people coming asking for asylum is legal

    not sure if creating a policy to prevent asylum seekers from asking the USA for asylum is though - course Trump would have to be dumb enough to admit that, and he just might be

    ironically - Trump has increased illegal immigration by advertising to the world our processes from the bully pulpit over and over and over
