ANALYSIS\/OPINION:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, more than 1,000 immigrants surged through the U.S. southern border near El Paso, Texas \u2014 the largest number ever encountered by U.S. Border Control and Protection, with the previous record being set in the month of April, which was 424.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump to slap a 5 percent tariff on goods from <\/em>Mexico<\/em><\/a> in an effort to get the <\/em>Mexican government<\/em><\/a> to take seriously the problem of undocumented immigrants crossing the U.S.-<\/em>Mexico<\/em><\/a> border.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mainstream media, predictably, started lamenting on how the price of avocados for American consumers may potentially increase a few cents, and completely ignored the $200 billion American taxpayers pay each year in illegal immigration costs.
