Because that's what an import tax means, the buyers at the end of the chain pay it (plus a little extra built in at each step).

C'mon guys. Give A Theist a break. It's not like Mexico makes that much that we import. Coke made with sugar, sombreros, Chevys... Nothing of any real worth or importance. Angel

(These are total export numbers, but 84% of this total goes to NAFTA trading partners, primarily the US and Canada.
