Blackberries, strawberries, tomatoes, avocados. 20% higher. Probably more.
I'm guessing that when Trump arrests all of the "illegals" he'll put them to work in forced labor camps near the border. American taxpayers will then pay to house the prison labor, but we'll have the chance to buy our produce from them, less the 20 % tax.

Hyper inflation coming soon. Not just imports from Mexico, but all imports. Read Spicer's lips, Americans will pay the price.

>Spicer later told NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander that the border tax was not a policy proposal, but an example of how to pay for the wall. Trump Chief of Staff Reince Priebus also said the tax was one of a "buffet of options" for paying for the wall.
Speaking to reporters later, Spicer said that the border tax was not ready to be rolled out "at this time" and that the tax could be directed at specific industries as well.
Spicer also said Trump wants to eventually extend the 20% import tax to all countries, not just Mexico, according to the report.

THE CALIFORNIA REPORT
From His Home in Russia, #Calexit Leader Plots California Secession
On paper, the leader of the California secession movement lives in an apartment complex near San Diego’s Golden Hill neighborhood. But in reality, the Calexit campaign is being run by a 30-year-old who lives and works in a city on the edge of Siberia.
Louis Marinelli heads the secessionist group Yes California. Following the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, the organization has gone from an unknown fringe group to one discussed seriously in mainstream media.
What has not been discussed as prominently is Marinelli’s deep ties to Russia.
A former right-wing activist from Buffalo, New York, Marinelli first moved to Russia almost a decade ago. He studied at St. Petersburg State University, the alma mater of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He returned to the United States to campaign against LGBTQ rights as part of the National Organization for Marriage...
Despite these significant obstacles for the group — and with little, if any, grass-roots support for the campaign — Russian media outlets covered Marinelli’s effort in earnest. Several times, the Communist Party’s Pravda newspaper covered the Yes California campaign, including this September, when he met with other secessionists at a conference sponsored by the Russian government.

The US lost a million jobs
The US lost a million jobs that were moved to Mexico as a result of NAFTA, not the other way around. Time to bring those jobs back. If you're a fan of cheap labor being exploited in foreign countries then just say so. Nancy has already said she prefers strawberries and avocados picked by Mexicans at below minimum wage.

"Hours later, amid an uproar from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, Spicer said that he was simply putting forward one idea Trump is considering to show how the administration could fund the multibillion-dollar construction of a wall on the US's southern border. Spicer repeatedly said the White House was aiming to be "illustrative" rather than "prescriptive" as he walked back the more definitive comments he made earlier Thursday"
It's going to be a long four years if there's a thread for every stupid thing Trump utters.
Take a deep breath, folks.

Fafa, the 1.1 million stat
Fafa, the 1.1 million stat came from the bureau of labor statistics.
The top export destinations of the United States are Canada ($241B), Mexico ($194B), China ($134B), Japan ($67.5B) and Germany($61.6B). The top import origins are China($432B), Canada ($331B), Mexico ($291B), Japan ($128B) and Germany ($121B).
http://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/usa/
Mexico is second largest customer for US exports, and third on the list for US imports. Import or export tariffs will raise the price on these goods, which will be passed on to the consumer. Any decrease in trade with Mexico means job loss in the US.

while this is americans paying for the wall, this has been in the cards for a long while, mainly republicans have been pushing for this as an offset to cutting corporate taxes.
if i am not mistaken, many other countries who dont have the import tax, have the VAT.
