Alive and money in your pocket are good incentives...

It’s the easier decision. Play ball and live. No different than Capone and the Chicago gangs. We need to think of the cartel’s similar to Hamas. The problem is do we remove them and something worse happens. The money to be made off drugs is still there. We need to do things on our end as well. Help cut down on the demand.

Libs white knighting for a narco state...

Pathetic!

WE'RE the narco state, you pathetic dolt. The drugs go here. WE finance their entire operation.

Fvck off, dipshit.

Is that really where you ability to think about this ends?
Do you think there are no consequences on the Mexican side of a tax that will compel them to do what is necessary to avoid it?
If that is in fact the case, and you can't see or understand how this tax would affect Mexico, there is no way you can measure it's value in totality.

What I appreciate most about the tariff discussion is how many more people suddenly recognize that taxes have (negative) economic impacts beyond increasing tax revenue.

What - exactly - do you think the consequences would be if our tariffs cause more economic hardship in Mexico?

Mexican politicians looking for ways to work together to reduce that hardship.

I know that’s not the answer you wanted, but the next border czar is going to focus on enforcing the border, not new schemes to send US tax money south of the border.

Well hell...that's all that ever needed to happen. Damn - hard to believe nobody suggested that ever before. What a novel thought!

I know that's not the response you wanted but it's surely the one you deserve.
