n statements on Friday, top tech industry, lobbying, and advocacy groups argued that these new tariffs were inappropriate and could lead to Mexico imposing its own tariffs on the US in retaliation, with serious consequences for the industry if the situation escalates.
“This is potentially devastating to American small businesses and all the people they employ,” Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), said in a statement. “This is a short-sighted, short-tempered reaction that doesn’t recognize a basic economic fact – tariffs are taxes.” The CTA sponsors consumer tech events, including its annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

“Open borders” is FOX News nonsense. “Sanctuary” exists because law enforcement needs cooperation from the communities they work in.

Prices for goods fell in the U.S. in April, defying predictions that tariffs on Chinese imports and metals would squeeze the bank accounts of U.S. households.
Compared with a year earlier, prices of goods were 0.5 percent lower, according to the government’s personal consumption price index. This was the fifth consecutive month of year-over-year deflation.
Prices of durable goods, which are thought to be those most likely to be affected by metals tariffs, are down even more. On a 12-month basis, these are down 1.8 percent. They have been down on an annual basis every month since at least September.
On a one-month basis, durable goods prices fell 0.4 percent, the third consecutive monthly decline.
Nondurable goods ticked up slightly, by 0.2 percent compared with a year ago. This was the second monthly price hike after prices fell in January and February. Compared with March, nondurable good prices were up 0.5 percent, largely driven by higher energy costs.

The truth about crime, illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities
I am a former Spanish speaking career detective who investigated violent crimes within the Hispanic and other ethnic immigrant communities.
I am also a forensic criminologist who is a subject matter expert in violent crime who advocates for facts and evidence. Here are some verified crime facts and statistics with you so that you will know the truth about the precarious relationship between violent crime and illegal immigrants.
...
The Pew Research Institute estimates that as of 2014, there are at least 11.2 million illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. This population comprises approximately 3.5 percent of our country’s population.
...
The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Sentencing Commission reported that as of 2014, illegal immigrants were convicted and sentenced for over 13 percent of all crimes committed in the U.S.
According to the FBI, 67,642 murders were committed in the U.S. from 2005 through 2008, and 115,717 from 2003 through 2009. The General Accounting Office documents that criminal immigrants committed 25,064 of these murders.
Illegal immigrants clearly commit a level of violent and drug related crimes disproportionate to their population.
In California alone, over 2,400 illegal immigrants out of a total prison population of 130,000 are imprisoned in the state’s prison system for the crime of homicide.
...
Hardly any Californian’s know that in 2014, Gov. Brown signed a bill that amended a state statute amending the maximum sentencing for misdemeanor crimes by one day from 365 to 364 days in jail. This was deliberately done to avoid current federal laws that provide for the deportation of illegal and legal immigrants in this country who have received sentences of 365 days or more.
With the newly enacted jail and prison diversion programs of Propositions 109 and 47, Gov. Brown and company are effectively preventing the federal government from removing violent and recidivist illegal immigrants from our midst through the deportation process.

Yes. whether legal or not, immigrants are involved in crime at rates much lower than those for native-born citizens. Everyone knows this but repulsive racist bigots like you.
