So why dont we have tarrifs on the ones that are produced in Mexico too?
That's the problem with "moderates" you can't argue with consistent logic.
You have to fliflop back and forth and sometimes argue the exact opposite.
If this is to protect US jobs, and that's a good thing, why don't every foreign country have tariffs? Why let American corporations send the jobs to Mexico?
Have a look at that NAFTA replacement agreement. There's provisions in there specifically to put upwards pressure on Mexican wages.
Wow, can we get anything like that for American auto workers?
We have that. They're called unions. Of course, that's also at risk, since half the population seems OK with breaking union power.
