Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Mexico and Canada If They Don't Stop the Flow of Illegals and Drugs Across the Border
Sexually fluid blackface enthusiast and literal Communist bastard Justin Castreaux called Trump to whine that the problem is mostly on the US southern border, so why pick on his highly-frequented ass?

@EricLDaugh #BREAKING: Trump called by Canadian PM Justin Trudeau after his 25% tariff threat over border "invasion" and drug flow - Bloomberg The topic of the call was border security, and Trudeau reportedly emphasized that issues are much worse at the Mexico border.
The threat is having the intended effect:

Wiggle room.
If you don't comply, it goes up to 50%.
Next is 75%.
Pray I don't alter the deal further.

Is is also talking about a 25% tariff on everything from China if they don't stop shipping the precursor chemicals for fentanyl to Mexico.
The fentanyl is made in Mexico, but China is supplying the raw materials.

It's a huge problem in all border communities. Foreigners (mostly Indians) fly to Canada then walk across the border in to the US and get driven to major cities from there.
It is one of the largest land borders in the world, and is almost entirely undefended.
We need to nip this in the bud.
And Canada needs to help us.

We cannot afford a 25% tariff from our closest trading partner — BC’s legislature must be called back immediately to introduce emergency provincial funding to secure our borders and stop the illegal flow of migrants, as well as fentanyl and other drugs.
During BC’s provincial election, the Conservative Party of BC supported reforms to drastically improve port policing and border security in BC.
Now, in light of the US-Canada trade crisis, the Conservative Party of BC is asking Eby’s NDP to immediately adopt and fund the common sense Conservative strategy to improve border security in BC.
Our province’s international borders should not be an open sieve that drugs and illegal migrants can flow through freely — it’s time for emergency measures and immediate reforms. #bcpoli

Obviously we have much less of a need for Mexico than Mexico does for us.
Our major factories that moved to Mexico under NAAFTA (car manufacturing, for example), should be repatriated anyways. The rest of what Mexico produces (fruits, vegetables, cheap shittily made trinkets) can be made /grown in the US or in number of other countries around the world.
Yes, it will cost slightly more to ship avocados from Ecuador or whatever. But that's life.
Also, the avocado / drug cartel situation is reason enough to stop importing avocados (look it up, it's a wild story). Also, I can survive the rest of my life without ever eating another avocado if necessary.

Canada has their own problems, they already semi-resent the US, and securing the border / stopping drug flow is just not a high priority as of right now.
Canada's biggest domestic problem right now seems to be Indian Immigrants.
Unfortunately, I think Canada may be beyond the point where they can fix that. The immigration numbers (as a percentage of population) are truly staggering.

Plenty of room for Mexico to crack down on Chinese imports of pharmaceutical chemicals, to prosecute drug gangs, go after the producers, etc.
But probably the easiest way they can show they're helping is by stopping the drugs from going to the US border.

Agreed
And our tariffs would likely hurt produce exports immediately. I don't think Mexico can endure that for very long.
It might take a while for tariffs to hurt car part exports (or whatever else MX makes), but truck farmers (fruits & vegetables) will get the message FIRST. Plus, the U.S has alternate sources for those crops-- CA; Central America.
In addition, cooperation w/ Trump on border issues will cost MX essentially nothing. Because by now, a yuuge percentage of wets are OTMs (in ICE parlance)-- "other Than Mexico."

Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Canada said illegal border crossings from Canada into U.S. pale in comparison to those from Mexico into U.S.
“In comparison to the border with Mexico, it's the equivalent, on a yearly basis, of a significant weekend at the Mexico border.”
Rupa Subramanya @rupasubramanya 2h
US Customs and Border Protection Services data show illegal migrant encounters have surged to over 198,000 in 2024, more than seven times the number from 2021.
For the same time period, agents encountered more than six times the number of people on terrorist screening watchlist at the northern border than at the southern border. That's an astonishing rate of increase.
It's embarrassing that the immigration minister @MarcMillerVM takes a corrupt third world country that can barely control internal threats let alone its borders as a benchmark for Canada. Look how we've fallen when Mexico is our benchmark. 🙄

And any serious Israelis better damn understand that the lever used here - US going along with a Chapter 5 imposed ceasefire - is a final warning from the universe to start prepping in earnest for a day (starting no sooner than 4 years from now, most likely) on which they will have to go the final mile and say FO to the US and UNSC.

We can Make Avocados Great Again by putting 100% tariff on Mexican imports.
I really don't understand how people don't realize that us NOT having tariffs and joining all these free trade treaties, etc. is essentially welfare to the rest of the world. At the expense of American citizens, American businesses, and people who work for a living in this country.
I am 100% on board with paying more money for vegetables grown and picked in the US by American citizens at normal wages. It would solve so many societal problems.

And based on an incident I witnessed last year, they were being let in by USCBP at a regular border crossing. Just got off a bus on the Canuck side, walked right by me in the car lane, spoke briefly with the agent handling the cars, and were escorted around behind the building where the lobby entrance is. I'm sure the border agents were doing this under orders from the Junta.

Lol seriously. The left goes hardcore libertarian when it suits them.

I've never seen them apply that logic to any other societal issue.
Same with taxes here. Because I'd love to hear their argument as to why raising corporate tax rates is not also a tax on consumers if tariffs are.

It then pours from Canada into the USA and we are now about to pay a price for that.
I wonder why China sees Canada as such a soft touch for their smuggling?
Daily Chime @daily_chime 8m Replying to @CoryBMorgan
Lost in all the pearl clutching about the tariffs, was that it also included a 10% tariff on China to halt constituent chemical smuggling into Mexico.

I thought opening up China to the US market was supposed to end communism and turn China in to a major US ally like Japan? Turns out it didn't. So great job, guys.

I don't see it that way. There is no reason we can't manufacture everything here. More expensive, yes, but will also raise the wages of people here.
But even if we don't bring it back to the US, there are a lot of countries in this world with large labor pools that work for near-slave wages under horrible conditions and do very half assed work for the most part that aren't called China or Mexico.

Part of our eco-crap is used as leverage / a stick to export our manufacturing to the third world.
"Too many environmental regulations in the US to manufacture stuff there easily. Let's move it to China, they don't care if we dump lithium ion biproducts in to the rivers."

Mao was selling the grain to pay for nuclear weapon tech. He didn't care if hundreds of millions of Chinese suffered and died. Add to that the incentive to grow the heaviest crop densities so localities could boast, even if that entire crop was actually lost due to the planting density.

Most of the LIVs with some money think they are middle class because they compare themselves to Bezos or Musk and are shocked, shocked to find out they are the people soaked by leftwing economics.
And yes "soak the rich" quickly hits everyone not on welfare BUT...this isn't about the success of leftwing economics - just the voting appeal.

Ewetoob is easy. Play one of their videos, and a "share" link appears just below that window. Hit "share" and it generates a short url. Copy that url, and paste here. It should be short enough as-is, but you will note it has a question mark about half-way through. Delete the question mark and all the text to the right of it, and the link will work fine, and deny Gurgle some tracking data. Win, win.

Also, serious question, why not just threaten the president of Mexico directly? She is a figurehead for a cartel run criminal state. If she's an obstacle to cleaning up the mess then she's no different than Khamenei. Treat her accordingly, like an enemy. If I were Trump I'd openly threaten to simply have her assassinated. Help fix this or SOF knows where you live and we're not fucking around.

We occasionally participate in a Celtic Night dinner at a neighbor and former teacher's home who's really into preserving that culture -- and unsurprisingly most attendees are conservative (the host himself has even run unsuccessfully for local offices a couple of times as an R).
Anywho, last Saturday we were discussing how European culture was disappearing owing to the invasion of the Muslim hordes (where I pointed out that the most popular baby name over the past decade has been Mohammed) -- and one apparently #Woke (old enough to be retired) Woman started having a meltdown and had to call a time out because we were being so "racist" (by merely pointing out facts).
Same as it ever was ... Ad Hominem attacks are all they've got.

I think I know the answer. If Trump announces such a high tariff penalty that Canada and Mexico don't think he'll actually go through with it -- because it would cause financial and economic disruption inside the US -- then they might call his bluff."
I think 25% is PLENTY enough to "cause financial and economic disruption inside the US." Tariffs are a bad idea.

The USSR was dead and gone before we got cozy with China. In the cold war the idea was to divide the two.
The 1990s were when it became trendy to give tech to China to build there. Saved them a few bucks, got pictures in the trade magazines. Then the Chinese stole their products and built them themselves and ran them out of business. By then the original whiz kid smart guys were retired.
