A $5000.00 import duty on each car produced in Mexico might persuade Ford to reconsider.

Not that I care, but such a tax on Mexican auto production would effectively close down the industry there. The ripple effect would be absolutely devastating in Mexico.

Expect a flood of refugees if that happens. Better get that wall up and man the guard towers.

Like I said, I don't really care what happens in Mexico, I do not live on that border. Just be prepared for the consequences of impoverishing your neighbor.

Yes. But bad for everybody.... Trump's threats to impose trade barriers (if accurate and imposed) would be harmful.
