Always remember: the cartels don't pay tariffs when smuggling drugs.
The border between the US and Mexico will be transformed into a military zone. It will be interesting to see how they handle all the private land at the border. ~~Imminent~~ Eminent domain probably. Then they deploy the military and spend ungodly amounts of money there instead of in Afghanistan.
Eminent Domain. It is imminent though.
Yep.. sry
Do you really think that would happen? Trump was already president and he couldn't do shit about the border. The Republicans hold now the government, do they could pass extra funding, but I doubt it.
What extra funding? The US just completed Afghanistan mission that cost billions. Now they only need to deploy to the southern border.. it will be cheaper. Plus if it really needs extra funds.. if there is anything the US always had funding for is the military. So yes as a non Americans I see them turning the border into a Korean style border. Possibly declaring a zone around the border as a special territory to make an end run around posse comitatus.
That war was funded with debt, that the next generation will still be paying down. It’s not like there was a magic firehouse of money that just needs to be redirected.
But didn't you hear? With the tariffs, trump is going to be raking in so much money, they are going to be paying down the debt! And you got to have it..
Also remember... All Mexicans and iLlEgAl immigrants are criminals.
I mean, true for illegal immigrants, obviously.
