Trump wants 20% tax on imports from Mexico to pay for wall

Vehicles: US$90.4 billion (23.7% of total exports)
Electronic equipment: $81.2 billion (21.3%)
Machines, engines, pumps: $58.9 billion (15.5%)
Oil: $22.8 billion (6%)
Medical, technical equipment: $15.2 billion (4%)
Furniture, lighting, signs: $9.9 billion (2.6%)
Plastics: $8.3 billion (2.2%)
Gems, precious metals, coins: $7.1 billion (1.9%)
Iron or steel products: $5.7 billion (1.5%)
Vegetables: $5.6 billion (1.5%)

I wonder if there are any countries that sell these :) We should buy from them

Its too bad that companies who decided to fire american workers for mexican ones by moving their factories will suffer. So sad.

I was listening to Mark Levin have a thrombosis about this tonight.

He says we need free trade, to unleash the economy like was done by Ronald Reagan.

The one gaping hole in Levin's theory is that free trade and NAFTA didn't come along until the end of Bush I's administration and the beginning of Clinton's.

The Reagan boom had nothing to do with free trade, and in fact happened without it.

did CMS included the illegal immigrant surges of 2014 and 2015 into their figures?
Have you seen the surges from Central America?

IOW's the numbers are shaky, but more importantly it's not just about the raw numbers -it's about keeping out terrorists

Reagan opened the flood gates and welcomed illegal immigrants. Paid them slave wages and no one batted an eye.

People don't seem to realize that Douchebag Donald doesn't really view Reagan as a role-model when it comes to the economy. It's quite fitting that he never voted for The Gipper, and even gave max contributions to Carter and Mondale.

Just because Joe Wilson yelled it out, doesn't make it true.

That's the problem, you people let your hate override common sense.

Everybody and his damned sister in New York City has Medicaid.
