Mexico's Inability To Control Migrant Caravans May Cost Automakers Dearly

Shares of U.S., Asian and German automakers tumbled on Friday after President Donald Trump threatened to slap tariffs on imports from Mexico starting next month, potentially upending a decades-old business model of global manufacturers.

Railing against a surge of illegal immigrants across the southern U.S. border, Trump said he would hit all goods coming from Mexico with a 5 percent tariff, and would increase the duty each month until it reaches 25 percent on Oct. 1, unless Mexico takes immediate action.

Good for Trump. Mexico could do more to protect it's sugar daddy -Uncle Sam but chooses to do jack shit even though they know full well all these economic migrants are heading to Murica. You can't stop all the worlds problems by taking in all the people as many times they just bring the problems with them. Trumps messaging is crude but effective as he gets his message across despite the displeasure of all the snowflakes...

BMW should have expanded the South Carolina plant versus opening a new one in Mexico for Tres Series.

It's not an inability it's 100% the opposite. Mexico is actively encouraging an "el norte" mentality so that can export their indigent people. This is not "si se puede" bull$hit or "dreamer" nonsense either. This is Mexico offloading people they see as human garbage.

Latino voters need to get it through their skulls that Mexico is not "familia" but instead a foreign country. They owe no loyalty to Mexico. As a nation, we owe Mexico nothing. I'd use military force against the drug cartels with or without Mexico's consent. That is a major problem behind this "dreamer" BS. The cartel uses these people as human shields, runners, and diversions so that enforcement by the DEA is impeded. The day after Trump wins re-election in 2020, it the day to throat punch Mexico.

Stolen from Twitter: "Raise your hand if you agree the Office of Homeland Security should declare Mexico, their jackass President, and George Soros enemy combatants for the border crisis and invasion of our country, while we're at it, let's add Democrats to the list! RT #AmericaFirst"
