For decades, the United States has suffered the severe and dangerous consequences of illegal immigration. And for decades, Washington has broken its many promises to fix it.

It's a system where smugglers win. Cartels win. Gangs win. And LEGAL immigrants and US citizens lose.
The American taxpayer pays an extraordinary price for this lawless chaos. Far, far worse is the terrible and preventable loss of life. Some of the most deadly and vicious gangs on the planet thrive in the shadows of our broken southern border. It's time to cut off their lifeline.
Sadly, Mexico has allowed this situation to go on for many years—and it has only grown worse with the passage of time.

Mexico’s passive cooperation in allowing illegal migration into the United States constitutes a genuine threat to America's security and the US economy.
More than tough words are needed. Invoking the authorities granted to him by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, President Trump has announced the United States will impose a 5% tariff on all goods imported from Mexico.

If Mexico fails to act, tariffs will remain.
We have confidence that Mexico can and will act swiftly to help the United States confront this dangerous situation.

America has been very good to Mexico for many years. We are now asking that Mexico do its fair share to bring law and order to its side of the border, as well.
