Quote:Yeah, except those just fall back on the American consumer, since a large amount of our produce comes from Mexico. Hooray!

Haha..

 

OK.

 

Stop giving them aid then?

 

n 2013, the United States gave Mexico $51.5 million in foreign aid. Of that amount, $24.8 million, the largest segment, was designated for democracy, human rights and governance. The next largest amount, $10.9 million, was designated for the environment, and $8.4 million was designated for economic development.

 

The bolded text shows that they have been failing in using the money properly as their governance is awful.

Suppose we could stop sending them so much cash and use that money instead?

 

Also... like I said in a previous post... If your taxes don't go up... you won't notice anyway.

And you don't know where all your tax dollars go.

And if you get a full return (or more than you pay in)... your money isn't going to the wall.

 

If produce prices increase because of taxes levied on Mexico.. maybe grow more fresh produce stateside instead of paying farmers to not farm

Another "environmental" regulation that makes almost no sense.
