re: Do you think it is fair that Chinese automakers can use Mexico to ship cars tax free?

It is 2024.

The idea that tariffs are good to protect American industry is so laughable. We have hundreds of years of data to prove that is does not protect the American worker or the American consumer.

I am still open to tariffs as a punitive measure for bad actors. Mutual self destruction (this overstates the issue, but the net results of tariffs are lose/lose) as a bargaining chip for leverage when we are the American economy makes sense. Most countries need us more than we need them. But we can't ignore that it does hurt our consumers and our workers.

I honestly don't know. Who are the Chinese auto manufacturers that we are worried about in mexico?
