US raises tariffs on things: "Trump shouldn't put a tariff on incoming goods because it's all going to go to the price the US consumer will ultimately pay; a tariff on foreign goods is going to be paid by US consumers!"

Canada raises tariffs on things: "You go girl! Show your national strength resisting foreign economic hegemony ! "

"STARTLING STATS FACTSHEET: Fiscal Year 2024 Ends With Nearly 3 Million Inadmissible Encounters"
Yes, I'm deeply, deeply sorry - that "nearly" COMPLETELY CHANGES my point.

"2.99 million illegals wouldn't be any difference at all!" -said the democrat.
Although your "no where near" would also be a lie, wouldn't it?

This is Canada imposing a tax on services from firms outside the country.

There is no logical basis for the tax aside from Canada (like most national govt anywhere) trying to take a cut off any money moving anywhere.

Personally, I'm fine with it, they're a sovereign state. If they agreed to remove it and have reneged, well, they will have to deal with the consequences.

... And the fact that they're getting more and more upset when you interpose barriers between them and (unsupervised) access to children simply proves the point.

This was a dumb, dumb hill for Democrats to pick to die on. Most reasonable liberals I know in private agree, so we argue about other actual political points of merit. Supporting objectively crazy people in their pedophilia is never going to be a winner (except, apparently, with liberal white women but that's ok, their primary political interest seems to be about murdering their own spawn when desired, shrug).

It's neither, it's mostly just him.

He could have the wisdom of Solomon (he doesn't), the oratory of Cicero (he doesn't), the support of the media (he doesn't) and you'd still have violent, murderous opposition to a political outsider from those who profited very nicely from 3 million illegals a year. Which was apparently incredibly easy to stop when we tried?

He's a rude, vulgar man. He's wrong about some things. Doesn't mean he's wrong about a country needing to fix itself instead of justifying the importation of near slave labor. In this debate he's actually taking the position of the 1960s-flavor liberal east coaster he is, fundamentally.

There are still lots of ways that non Americans can come to the US - legally, in the short term - to work Ag jobs like this. Then they go home. Florida has been doing this for citrus crops in a large scale for 70+ years

Sorry if that wrecks your strategy for attempting to justify open borders & 3 million illegals a year.
