Consequences of Feb 1 Tariffs?

Also, consider the rationale for the threatened tariffs. They are not because of alleged unfair trade practices by Mexico or Canada. They are because of alleged, “Drugs and illegal immigrants flooding into our country” and Trump wants Mexico and Canada to stop those. Drugs would not be flowing into the US if Americans were not consuming the drugs.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said, approximately 1% of the drugs and illegal immigrants in the US cross the Canada/US border.

It seems that Trump is acknowledging that his country is incompetent at protecting its own borders and expects other countries to do it.
