Mexico dispatches team to DC negotiate tariff solution, as Trump demands illegal immigration remedy

By Brooke Singman | Fox News

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador dispatched his foreign relations secretary to Washington on Friday, as the country scrambles to negotiate a solution with the United States following President Trump’s surprise move this week to slap tariffs on Mexico in the hopes it would remedy the illegal immigration surge at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The president on Thursday announced the new tariffs, which are slated to go into effect on June 10. Trump said that a new five percent tariff would be placed on all Mexican imports to pressure the country to do more to help crack down on the surge of migrants trying to cross the U.S. Southern border. Trump warned, though, that the tariff percentage would gradually increase up to 25 percent “until the illegal immigration problem is remedied.”

"Mexico has taken advantage of the United States for decades. Because of the Dems, our Immigration Laws are BAD. Mexico makes a FORTUNE from the U.S., have for decades, they can easily fix this problem. Time for them to finally do what must be done!" Trump tweeted Friday morning.

One would have to be a certified wacko to want to tour Mexico now.  I used to go frequently because back then the cartels considered tourism a goose laying golden eggs, and the Federales did what the cartels told them.  Those days are gone now that cartels consider Gringos obstacles and the Federales still do what the cartels tell them.

Reducet he tariff by 1% for every 10 million illegals they take back (and retain, or pass on to their respective countries).

They may be staying there but they aren't filling them.
