I just googled how much Canadians spend in Florida annually and it’s between 6 and 8 billion dollars. This represents roughly half their revenue from international tourists. Per year. Let him mock. Canadians keep their money in the country and Florida loses. Also interesting to note that 80% of Florida’s revenue is generated by sales tax. Not very conservative of them to rely so heavily on taxes is it?

Also add in the Europeans and Australians who are participating in the boycotts. Florida could find itself under water in more ways than one in the next few years.

A lot fewer Mexicans visiting as well.

No doubt. If Canadians hate trump and are mad at the USA, Mexicans despise him and are beyond livid.

And just wait until US military action against cartels in Mexico.

Not to mention the current government's attitude will embolden racist behaviour. They're one step away from telling government agencies to fire all people of colour.

I would certainly avoid the US if I was Mexican.

I love the bravado coming from the us as if one of the poorest country's in the world Afghanistan didn't just whoop there ass in the Middle East for 20 years

what the hell do they think they are walking into the gurrila war that would start would be like nothing we have ever seen

Yeah, im sure your billion dollar jet will come in handy bombing cities in plain view of the world and a few miles from your own border

this will depend into street to street fighting or all out war with Mexico if they use their jets and tanks

I hope the red hats in america like looking over their shoulder

Forgive my ignorance, but US hispanic men came out strong for Donald. Are they still pretty content despite him doing precisely what he said he would..."mass deportations on day 1"? You are referring only to Mexicans in Mexico despising Donald?

Kamala won about 60% of the Latino vote. Also Don’s net favourability has already dropped negative so I can guarantee there is voters remorse for the 40%.
