Just as I predicted, President @realDonaldTrump backed off on his threat of tariffs against Mexico.
He says that Mexico will take action to ‘greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States’, but if past is prologue, this is likely to be one of the president’s typical, bogus solutions to justify backing off things like the tariffs.
He precipitously proposed the tariffs, much to the consternation of the business community nationwide and Republicans in the House and Senate.
This is likely to have only a small impact on solving the root causes of Central American migration because many of the components are things Mexico had already said they would do.
President @realDonaldTrump ought to stop acting like a showman and start working with Democrats on our serious proposals to address the nation’s most pressing needs.
