The leading Republican candidates for president want to unleash military strikes inside Mexico against the cartels — with or without Mexico’s permission — and have not voiced concern about the likely blowback. Donald Trump has promised a naval blockade in a second term. At the debate he skipped last week, rivals promised to counter the border “invasion” with assets shifted from Ukraine. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed to send special forces into Mexico “on day one.”
That was my point. Corpos aren’t just going to take less margins if labor costs did increase. And my point doesn’t even necessarily disagree with what you’re saying, because greedy corpos are going to be greedy corpos and will use any excuse to raise costs.
But regardless, my main point was that the economic relationship between Mexico and the US is way more complex than you and the original comment are making it out to be. Unless you’re an economic expert specializing in international trade, I’m not going to really take you armchair opinion seriously on what would happen if Mexico suddenly ceased all business with the US.
