And narcissist always claim everyone is out to get them to excuse treating everyone else like shit. 🤷♂️
Enforcing border laws long-term through short-term tariffs is not 'treating everyone else like shit'.
It seems you're unwilling to admit that a strategy you thought would not work is working.
I think you are a statist and I am not.
People want to cross the border to find a better life because both governments have laws that create a massive wealth disparity across an imaginary line.
Perhaps more laws and more government control won't help. It only introduces more violence and suffering into the world.
You would be correct to say that less fentanyl trafficking and less human smuggling does reduce violence and human suffering in the world.
The narco wars are another problem created by state regulation. Until you see that government caused the problem you have by "fixing" another problem, will continue to think of government as a solution.
You would also be correct to say that governments allowing unchecked illegal immigration and unenforced border laws is the primary source of income for violent cartels and gangs.
