The entire US auto industry would shut down within a week if President Donald Trump goes through with his pledge to close the US-Mexican border, according to a leading expert on the industry.
That's because every automaker operating an auto plant in the United States depends on parts imported from Mexico, said Kristin Dziczek, the vice president of industry, labor and economics at the Center for Automotive Research.
About 37% of all auto parts imported to the United States originate in Mexico. Virtually all car models in America have Mexican parts, she said. Because of that reliance, she said the auto industry would stop producing vehicles relatively quickly.

"You can't sell cars with missing pieces," she said. "You've got to have them all. I see the whole industry shutdown within a week of a border closing."

2. Not to mention Inflation rising....

Regarding the costs of Fruits and other Produce. Those of us on restricted diets will pay higher prices. Best stock up now while we can on things while supplies last. Start your own gardens.

Trump is doing all he can to cripple this Nation and turn it into the LARGEST banana Republic where he alone has the power to ruin us in tiny cuts. Even his dwindling base will come to realize some day they have been guinea pigs all this time in his awful lab experiment.

3. And that shut down

could happen within two days. All it takes is one Train derailment. Believe the Just In Time Software has a five day Inventory built in.
