Both the U.S. and Mexico have benefited from the ability to import and export goods providing jobs for both sides. The relationship that our current president is establishing will definitely impact our economy in a negative way.

Excellent article! I agree with dennibro about the thought process behind it. First they were going to pay for it, now we are.
