Just hours after President Trump announced he will be imposing 5% tariffs on Mexican imports over illegal immigration, Mexico’s president Lopez Obrador sent Trump a letter begging for a meeting to work toward a solution.

“Mexico’s President Lopez Obrador asks Trump to have U.S. officials meet with the Mexican foreign minister in Washington on Friday to seek a solution that benefits both nations,” Reuters reported.

Tax the hell out of remittances too!

[Fhios]

It’s just a characterization from a Trump friendly news source. Instead of “begged” the Mexican President probably just strongly urged ....

[Qwackertoo]

It is suppose to be @ 25% by October . . . it will be rising according to the White House release statement.

IF they do nothing. It will increase.

“...Once you have them by the cojones, their hearts and minds will follow....”
Wholeheartedly agree. However, when it comes to GOP/GOPe congresscritters, finding one single cajone is like searching for a unicorn. They just don’t exist!

Meanwhile, what looks like a massive roach infestation increases exponentially.

Nothing to see here. Please move along.

“The tariff is a tax paid by you and other Americans on stuff imported from Mexico. “

That’s NOT necessarily true:

Ex.: Mexico could devalue their currency.

[gathersnomoss]

This is BS. There are two solutions that WORK.
1) Build the wall, NOW.

Or

2) Use military force. We are being invaded. Use force once, this Shiite will stop!!!

Otherwise, the circle jerk continues.

[Army Air Corps]

They already do.

[GailA]

Stall tactics. Just blow up the bridges in just inside our border, slice the traffic of drugs, guns, gangs, and Sex Trafficking big time. Put a couple of Abrams Tanks on our side of the Bridge entrance to block it too.

Mexico should be considered an enemy state, no less a threat than North Korea.

[Lagmeister]

I’m pretty sure the new Jeep engines are made in Mexico - or, at least, major parts are. Thank God my 2016 Ribicon engine is American made.

[Jmouse007]

Great, squeeze Mexico until they squeal like pigs, end any and all illegal invasion and get down on their hands and knees and beg, while promising they will never let this happen again. And if it does, IMMEDIATELY them with a FIFTY PERCENT TARIFF.

[Candor7]

Bringing these Mexican one wolrd progressives to heel. That did it!

So much winning with President Trump!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Worse than doing nothing to stop, they are incentivizing by constantly dangling amnesty.

[spokeshave]

Mexico watched Trump follow through on his threat to add tariffs to Chinese goods.

They know he is serious.

So have other nations.

And he walked out of the Infrastructure meeting with Nancy and Chuckie

Three in a row

That gets everyone's attention.

[lodi90]

Mexicans really hate central Americans and have a good deal going right now. The moment their border jumping hits Mexico negatively you can bet they will drop the hammer on those Guatemalan dirt farmers.

[Fhios]

5% is huge

[Fhios]

5% is huge

[Fhios]

5% is huge

[Lurkinanloomin]

And the GOP has been helping Democrats do it
