Who do you think pays tariffs? Do you think the corporations do it out of the goodness of their heart and impact their bottom line? I have news for you. That isn't how industry works.
If the Tariffs are intended to bring manufacturing back home I'm all for it. But realize that will take YEARS to do and will cost a lot of money. Again, the corporation isn't going to foot the bill out of the goodness of their heart. They will pass the cost on to you.
The most important bit you are missing is: once the manufacturing jobs DO come back to America you will be paying a LOT more for the goods because Americans will NOT work for pennies on the dollar in sweatshop conditions. So you will pay more for the goods because the corporation will have to charge more to pay their workers.
All of that is fine by me. I'm just curious how a group of people who are currently screaming bloody murder over the price increases due to inflation will handle it.
Companies that want to avoid tariffs will simply open factories and production in the US instead. The auto industry is a perfect example of that.
That's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard. It will not be cheap. What do you think you are going to do? Point a gun at them and tell them to just walk back to Mexico?
C'mon, even you aren't that stupid.
They walked here, they can walk back. When Arizona about 25 years ago did, more or less, exactly what I proposed, illegals fled the state for California and elsewhere. Within months over 50% of illegals in Arizona were gone. They self deported.
That last one isn't going to be a problem. Americans LOVE illegal immigrant labor. All you need do is drive down to the Home Depot on Saturday morning to see the Americans lined up to hire "day labor" which is almost all illegal. And your contractor friends who have lawn services or construction companies hire them ALL THE TIME. Even Trump used illegal labor on some of his properties!
Bullshit. I know contractors, and I still do electrical work. I wouldn't hire those useless fucksticks on a bet. Do it on a mass scale, and you're going to prison as the management of Chuy's restaurant chain, and Filiberto's Mexican fast food found out.
The father and son owners of the Chuy's Mesquite Broiler regional Mexican restaurant chain, along with the company's accountant, will be arraigned in federal court in Tucson Thursday on tax and immigration violations contained in a 19-count indictment stemming from a lengthy probe by U.S. ICE's...

The Obama administration has moved the focus on illegal immigration from workplace raids to indictments against people who hire unauthorized workers.

If you REALLY want to stop the future illegal immigrant flux then SEND AMERICANS WHO HIRE ILLEGALS TO JAIL. Easy peasy.
That is one thing, of many, that's necessary.
Maybe if the MAGA crowd weren't so anti-police things would be better on the crime front.
The Democrats and Left are the ones that want to defund the police.
As for the regulations, well, that's just your ignorance speaking. Sure there are some abusive regulations but the regulations are mostly there because YOU AND I AND ALL THE OTHER AMERICANS DEMANDED THEM.
So be careful the ones you want to cut.
Wrong! There are lots and lots of stupid regulations that have the force of law that people don't even know about.
Here's a book filled with the humorously absurd federal regulations.
Here's another.
You, and I, are already probably federal criminals having broken some obscure law, rule, or regulation already...
