Come on guys. He might be into importing illegal immigrants for their cheap labor but he's also anti-RTW.
You wanna pay double and wait triple the time to have a roof put on?

How about triple the price of produce or worse?

I could go on. I’m all for them having their own unions or at least much better work rules.

You're for illegal immigrants having their own unions but you're concerned that they might be paid too much. Understood.

I’m concerned kicking everyone out of the country that’s doesn’t fit the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S definition of legal will throw our economy into a tailspin and hurt American families.

The trade imbalance isn't an emergency. They get money, we get the products. China buys U.S. Treasuries. There's a benefit to the United States in the stable exchange rate we have with China which comes from the Chinese buying Treasuries. Not to mention they help us by providing loans to us. We get to fund government services without having to tax the crap out of people.

Both countries are better off. You can't punish your way into prosperity. Ask Napoleon or Adolf Hitler. We're not going to conquest our way into an even better way of life.

The Cycle of International Trade​

  1. U.S. imports more from China than it exports → China accumulates dollars.
  2. China needs a place to invest those dollars → It buys U.S. Treasuries.
  3. Buying Treasuries keeps the yuan stable → This helps China maintain its export-driven economy.
  4. The U.S. benefits from cheap borrowing → It can fund government spending more easily.
Hope this helps illustrate why it's not all doom and gloom to have trade. Even if it's not perfect.

By the way, we stole plenty of technology from Great Britain and Europe since before our economy was even beginning the industrialization process.
Japan holds more treasuries than China does. Do we have a huge trade imbalance with Japan? Other countries hold significant amounts of treasuries too like the UK and the Netherlands. None come close to the trade imbalance we have with China. No, we don't do as much business with them as we do with China but our goods aren't shut out.like they are in China either.

Wow, we stole technology in the 1800's so that makes it ok for China to put industrial spies all over the U.S. Good to know.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

The Japanese learned to live and thrive within our system. They build most of the cars they sell to us here. It provides jobs here and profits there. Symbiotic relationship. Canada and Mexico have nothing to offer. They’re parasites.

Yes and we were doing it during Biden’s term. They just didn’t constantly brag out about their ICE ops.

We have an entertainer as POTUS now. So everything is D R A M A T I C
Venezuela emptied its prisons and mental institutions. And Biden let them in unvetted. You're in a state of denial about how many criminals were let in. And now your sanctuary cities are trying to protect them.
