[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8884662, member: 683408"] The "huge caravan" is 1,500 people looking for work. Only two plane loads of illegals thst Biden flew here to vote for him. /s That's a drop in the bucket, and not the illegal immigration nor the drugs that the new tariffs are supposedly about. The tariffs in 2018 were about "national security", which Trump equates to immigration and drug trade. The new tariffs are about "immigration and drug trade" which Trump equates to national security. Semantics. And they didn't work the first time because of the threat of retaliation. Maybe Mexico can't afford to pay 25% more for all the US goods they buy. Was that not also the case in 2018? Yet they threatened, and Trump backed down. A threat is not much of a threat if a counter threat makes someone back down. [/QUOTE]
