First, the obvious: Higher costs β either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): Weβve signaled weβre an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

They literally put a man who was at deathβs door on a plane to Costa Rica.
Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.
What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?
He died a few weeks after deportation:
Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them βviolent mobs,β but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
