Those countries don't have the U.S. economy.  Everyone wants to do business here.  We should treat it as the commodity it is.

Tariffs aren't going to do that.
I didn't say the US is like Brazil or Mexico.  I said those two countries are similar to each other.  They are both behind the US in terms of education and infrastructure.  Yet they both have ample natural resources and arable land.  Mexico's economy has grown better than Brazil's in the post WWII years, with its lower tariffs.
