How about drones armed with paint ball guns full of some kind of substance that can't be easily washed off and glows at night.

There are already drones flying the borders. Both ours and Mexico's.

It is the volume of aliens crossing from Mexico that is the problem

I am quite sure drones will be part... shooting illegal immigrants with paint balls from them, not so much.

the US better start opening up the factories for cars and car parts...and will the gov't susbidize these?

and producing the produce they currently buy

and machinary. All new machinary factories. yay. Hopefully trump will allow for the subsidization required in order to make them at a cost wanted by the US companies.

Why were they farmed out to Mexico originally?

Will Americans be willing to pay the extra for autos? the produce?

It's going to get even more interesting. Hopefully it doesn't impact my ability to get popcorn.

Are you saying I won't be able to buy a new SkiDoo because Mexico will retaliate?

Please remind me why they are no longer made in Quebec.

PS. Wynne subsidizes the sh-t out of the Canadian auto industry.

Trump doing so would be following a well travelled Liberal road.

why wouldn't mexico add 20% to the cost? business right?

and yes, of course he'll have to subsidize, unless it's goes against his business sense...hard to say, he does business his own way...



its' all so very unclear currently. I'm sure that in a year or more, we'll see the results of this. I really just hope it doesn't effect the cost of popcorn.

Because Mexico could be completely axed from NAFTA with no open market access. They were included not just for cheaper labour but more so to raise the standard of living and employment to retain the educated and skilled workers so they didn't need to jump the border or turn to crime.

I doubt they want to go back to being on the brink of collapse.

The free-fall in the value of the Peso will negate the 20%, make Mexico even more competitive against the Americans and leave the Mexican worker even poorer.

How bout we just have Nieto and Trump meet on the border, whup 'em out, and measure 'em right there? We could have Theresa May, Angela Merkel, and Justin Trudeabama do the measuring and declare the winnah.
