Immigration Agreement Reached with Mexico, Tariffs Averted

The United States and Mexico finally reached an immigration agreement. This agreement prevents the implementation of a 5% tariffs on goods coming to the U.S. from Mexico. President Trump, a businessman by trade, knew exactly what he needed to do to get the other side to an agreement.
He understood the psychology in the minds of those rich and superrich pulling the strings on the Mexican side of the border. These individuals previously didn’t have the incentive to pressure the Mexican government to work with the United States with regards to illegal immigration.
Knowing how these businessmen think, as well as what goes on in their minds, President Trump knew what to do and say. A 5% tariffs on goods, building up each month, didn’t spell well for those on the Mexican side. Either continue the status quo and feel the pain or choose an alternative that President Trump wanted. The later was less of a pain.
President Trump was criticized from both sides of the aisle for engaging in this. However, he managed to get a deal at the last minute.
From FOXNews:
President Trump’s tweet:
I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico. The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended. Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to….
….stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border. This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you!
The Mexican government will utilize resources and spend money in order to implement their side of the agreement. By reducing the flow of illegal immigration to the U.S., to include controlling Mexico’s smaller southern border, Mexico is starting to become an extension of our wall.

Wham-bam, President Trump wins yet again, I love the sound of liberal heads exploding!!!
The next step is for the demorats to get a 9th circuit court order to stop it. demorats need the votes from these border crossers. I missed pelousy’s message about what our POTUS did. Anyone here what she said???
I’m guessing it was something along the lines of, “Orange Man . . . baaaaaaaad!!”
The ACLU has already filed against it- this agreement shocked Granny McBotox into silence, and Chucky into some sort or sour grapes rant. The chattering class is just getting warmed up, but despite the noise…
…this is a BFD. Right, Gropy Joe?
Mad Maxine was mouthing loudly about Trump caving at the last minute–once again Maxine plays the fool. The Dems are trying to spin the deal as a loss for Trump, but the American public can see who’s wheeling and dealing and who’s just spieling.
Actually, I don’t think it was the 5% threat that brought the Mexicans to heel–they could have lived with that amount and so could American consumers. It was the threatened monthly bump-up from 5% from a guy with a reputation of following through on his threats.
I’m not too happy with all the RINO’s who failed to back Trump’s play. those assholes need to be primaried.
Was this a classic Mexican standoff? Pienso que si.
giggle and snort.
Just imagine what all President Trump could get done if BOTH PARTIES of congress critters would quit fighting against him and start working with him.
Took those self serving bastards 50 + years to get us into this mess. dTrumpster has made good progress in a short time.
Lars…. please ‘splain us. We need you to tell us what to think. We r lost without you.
As always with Trump I think we should wait until the truth comes out. He lies about agreements every single time. Literally. Every single time.
Because adding “literally” to the comment gives it additional weight, without having to provide an example.
Who’s going to provide that “truth”, Commieczar? Nasty Pelousey? Chuck-U Schumer? The DNC? Your favorite, the CPUSA?
Wow man. What a difference there is between a businessman and a politician.
That’s why we need term limits on all those critters.
I still can’t believe that we got so lucky that a brilliant businessman like President Trump, in his old age when most people are retiring, decided to put everything, his whole life, on the line, to save us from the misguided policies of the Community organizer in chief.
G-d must really be on America’s side.
Yes, he is.
Lying about an agreement is more politician than businessman.
Squawk, squawk, SQUAWK , SQUAWK , *POOT!*, squawk, squawk,…
*flies away*
What happened to YEF??
He’s here. Closer than you think. His last comment was over your head…
Fuck that they were releasing thousands every fucking day for months. Should have done tariffs for several months and see if Mexico follows through. Fuck Mexico until the end of time.
I don’t think this a new agreement or that anything substantive has been agreed to recently.
Seems it is just announcing terms already agreed to to save face and get out of the corner he pointed himself into.
It works to keep pretending that he is forging agreements since it hits a few news cycles and people usually don’t follow up.
They don’t follow up, huh? We’re still waiting for you to follow up in the WOT to explain WTF you’re talking about.
Waiting for Poodle to provide follow-up with verifiable citations?
Mason, laddie – aren’t ye a wee bit auld t’be a ‘believin’ in Leprechauns?
I just like to point out his hypocrisy and the irony therein. 🙂
Now Hondo, you know that Larsie is “unable” to do that. His links in his posts are “blocked”, “edited” or eaten by some unknown entity in the Interwebs… he said so!
Well then just whip your Empirical Evidence out for all of us to see, Commissar Seagull!
He constantly lies about agreements.
And this looks to be another lie.
There does not appear to be a new agreement.
LOL..You are a Yorkie in a window…
More like a yapping chihuahua that never shuts up!
Cool story, bro. Now answer the question from the WOT. The one about Trump outing a witness. Refute the article I posted. I triple-dog dare you.
Are you suggesting that someone had Pot-Kettle Event?
Just give all Central American countries statehood, that’s the ticket. 😉
