Fortunately, Trump and Trudeau have struck a deal and tariffs have been averted. Looks like this was the plan Trump had in mind.

The thing is it goes both ways, Mexico is tired of all of the guns that are coming over the border from here into their country. What are we supposed to do about that?

The thing is we could probably do more to stop the flow of guns south, but this is just another one of those examples of what is our problem is your problem and what is your problem is your problem.

The typical right wing MAGA moron would say well its not our problem guns are against your laws. American arrogance strikes again.

But I will wager that the crime rates there are way lower than what they are here.

We already have plenty of laws in place against gun smuggling. Maybe the Mexican government should strengthen their own border security, especially against what THEIR CARTELS smuggle in and out of their country.
