Tariffs bringing back massive numbers of factory jobs is a myth. If jobs do come back they would come back highly automated, radically reducing manpower to run them. That's the only way to make them cost-competitive with near slave-labor in poor countries.. even with tariffs (eg tax) on imports.

The Trump administration has ALREADY SCRUBBED from the National Institute of Justice website (nij.ojp.gov) a 2024 study showing undocumented immigrants commit far fewer crimes than citizens - it didn't fit their lies. Thanks to the Internet Archive you can read it: web.archive.org/web/20250107...

All this tariff talk isn’t hard to decode. Trump has already floated defunding the IRS and paying for everything with tariffs. But aren’t tariffs just taxes on consumers? Yes! And that’s the point. A flat tax has been the fever dream of the right because it’s regressive. That’s what this would do.
