Someone explain how adding a tax on items from Mexico makes Mexico pay for anything. I don't get this one.

Mexican producers, growers, financiers, bankers, drug cartels, etc. won't be making 20% more on their **** just because they are Mexicans! So what if Americans have to pay the tariff on our side? We at least now have the "choice" to pay for the tax! If a Mexican tomato cost 20% more before it arrives here, then maybe American growers can offer American grown tomatoes to consumers more readily and more competitively!
To me, as long as the tariff money is actually collected and deposited in the bank with the endorsement on the checks by "Wall Builders, Inc" I am all for it! Do you guys realize that most tariffs in place now don't work because the money is actually stolen by f**king shitbag politicians? I would cite Chinese crawfish meat as the poster example. And that is just a small example!
Any country that maintains a $56 billion dollar trade deficit over the US is a welfare state! F**k them!
PS: I suppose I should also lay the blame where it belongs; the scumbag shitbag politicians that set these trade parameters.

There's not much to get, either way Americans pay under this plan.
Mexican goods are taxed, those costs are pushed down to American Consumers, the goods sell successfully and thus Americans funded the wall.
or
Mexican goods are taxed, those costs are pushed down to American Consumers, the goods don't sell and thus Americans fund the wall b/c the govts plan for resources never pans out and we are stuck with the bill since we built the wall with our tax dollars.
And if the mexican goods do not sell, then that really blows a hole in the idea that mexico pays for the wall! They can't pay for it if the goods don't sell...and whether we are given the choice or not seems to be "moving the goal post" so to speak. The campaign promise was never: As your president, I pledge to give Americans the choice of funding the wall or not.
Who do y'all think are going to pay for the wall? Put a tarrif on Mexico
And if Mexican goods become to costly then BUY AMERICAN. It amazes me
How people want the wall but then complain that we might have to pay
For the wall.
Yeah but Trump flat out stated Mexico was going to pay for the great wall pre election and after. I'll give him some time to perform, we shall see.
You know, just like he said he was going to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton if he was elected POTUS.
All I care about are the SC Justices. The rest is just lagniappe..........
