NOW we can see the US Chamber of Commerce is truly an anti-American and anti-Constitution organization. Absolute slimebags.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups are considering ways to challenge the new tariffs on goods imported from Mexico.
The powerful U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which advocates for cheap labor policies and opposes American First trade initiatives, told reporters Friday that it is considering all options, including legal challenges, to thwart the Trump administration’s policy.
“We have no choice but to pursue every option available to push back,” Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Friday.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will impose a 5 percent tariff on goods imported from Mexico if the Mexican government does not stem the flow of illegal immigrants from Central America.
Chamber of Commerce President and chief executive Tom Donahue told the Washington Post in April that the U.S. needed more legal immigration because the country is “out of people.” The chamber has pushed for legal protection for so-called “Dreamers” and led political resistance to efforts to deport more illegal border crossers.
The chamber began 2019 by opposing legislation that would have allowed President Donald Trump to impose reciprocal tariffs on specific foreign imports.
“The bill would effectively give the President unilateral authority to increase U.S. tariffs on imports from any foreign country,” Bradley wrote in a letter sent to many lawmakers on Capitol Hill. “The harm to Americans would be immediate: Tariffs are taxes, and they are paid by American families and American businesses.”
You have got to ask yourself why is the Chamber of Commerce against the tariffs! Because they’re against America First. Any businesses that are members are too!
They (or some other globalist/leftist/TDS group) will judge shop this until they get an Obama judge to issue a baseless injunction against the President’s exercise of his legal authority.
This judge shopping needs to be addressed, and stopped. Any group that files the same lawsuit in more than one district court needs to be sanctioned.
Well, Trump has tried about everything he can to get Mexico to stop the flow of immigrants.
The carrot doesn’t seem to be working so well, so now it is time for the stick.
Yes, American families and businesses will pay more. Perhaps that will wake some up when it hits their pocket book.
And while they may feel it is significant, the cost of the illegals is even more significant to our education, medical and strain on our welfare programs.
This was expected, as there is literally trillions of dollars at stake and Mexico is fighting for the crumbs to undermine the entire trade policy construct which is designed to cut out people like the Koch brothers, and COC from gaming the system, which they have been doing while taking bribes under the table. The reason why they have been getting away with it, is because they got the media, and the “we the people” are in a state of apathy to rise up and stand up against it!
