Yes, Senator, we all realize that the tariffs are going to pinch our wallets. That's a given, but if YOU can get the DEMS to help out with the crisis at the border; please, by all means, DO IT!! We all realize it is beyond time for the DEMS to help, but so far, nothing has motivated the radical leftists, Pelosi and Schumer. Unfortunately, you voiced your opinion to Trump long ago, to push for immigration reform and the wall, when he had the majority, and he failed to do so. Here we sit. If you can get them to budge, get it done!
Ted Cruz breaks with President Trump on Mexico tariffs while Marco Rubio gets behind the president's plan ...........Notably, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) — a consistent ally of the president's immigration agenda in the upper chamber — has come out vocally against the idea of pressuring Mexico through tariffs, citing the effect that it could have on his home state's economy.
"There is no doubt we have an emergency at the border, which is exacerbated and perpetuated by congressional Democrats who refuse to close loopholes in our law that are resulting in a massive influx of illegal immigration," a Cruz spokesperson told Blaze Media in a statement. "The answer, however, is not imposing tariffs against Mexico."
The statement explained that a "25 percent tariff on Mexico would impose nearly $30 billion of new taxes on Texans. That doesn't make any sense."
Rather, Cruz's office said, "It's time for congressional Democrats to work with Republicans and President Trump to do something about the serious humanitarian crisis we're seeing in Texas and other border states because of unchecked illegal immigration.".........
