Just wrapped up a fantastic debate in my int'l trade class! Two IU debate team members discussed Trump's proposed tariffs, starting with opening speeches for & against, then leading class discussions to refine arguments using course material. A highly-recommended class activity!

A 25% tariff on Mexico plus mass deportations? Looks like we're Making Heckscher-Ohlin Great Again!
If high tariffs are implemented (a big if), we should either expect a massive increase in prices or a spike in immigration of manufacturing labor. Either way, US workers wouldn't gain much.
