Donald Trump announced today that, if elected President, one of his first actions will be to contact the Mexican President. He would inform her that if she did not halt the flow of illegals from their southern border to our southern border, he would impose a graduated level of tariffs on all goods entering from Mexico. The simplest way to halt the majority of illegal immigration is to not allow the people to gather on our southern border. We obviously need immigration but it must be done legally according to our laws. The border situation for the last four years, allowed by the Biden Administration and the Border Czar, definitely displays that Administrationโ€™s incompetence, lack of respect for the law, total disregard for the ongoing costs, and total disrespect the for the American citizens. Because the actions of the last four years were absolutely intentional, those actions should be considered treasonous. The Mexican Government will react to and act to the tariff threat, a 100 percent certainty.
