We buy a hell of a lot more from them than vice versa.

The stupidity of Repulicans on full display. If we do not get any imports from Mexico, then how are they "stealing our jobs?"

Mexico is our third largest trading partner. We import almost 300 billion dollars in goods per year. It's not some insignificant country in regard to trade.
Tequila, billions of dollars in vegetables, vehicles, machinery, electrical machinery, medical instruments, mineral fuels, all imported in large quantities.
21 billion in agricultural products. Over 9 billion dollars in fresh produce, almost 3 billion in wine and beer, etc.
Prepare for the price of your fruits and vegetables, and your tequila, to rise a good bit.

Next time you're in WalMart, Target, Winn Dixie, etc. check the labels on tomatoes, cucumbers, etc......most will have "from Mexico" on them. They are killing our farmers!
Statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that Mexico by far is the most important supplier of fresh produce to the U.S., accounting for 69% of U.S. fresh vegetable import value and 37% of U.S. fresh fruit import value in 2012.
