because of pro growth policies of the tax cuts. what happens if you take that away by tariffs. we buy $500 billion from them. they buy $130 billion from us. let s focus on selling more to them and we re not going to get there by putting tariffs on chinesero products. chris: michael, are you as negative on the idea of tariffs and what impact could it have on economic growth which at this point may be the best argument republicans have going for them, going into the midterms? large, broad tariffs aren t the right way to go. nobody wants a trade war. i agree with what larry kudlow said. i don t think we ll have a trade war. i think the strongest fact the president has going for him is he s always been looking out for american interests. he s always been looking out for american security. years, liberal elites have promised if we integrate china into the global trade network they will act like a responsible steak steak holder into the stake holder in the international community.
done. as a consequence to help move this process along today i am laying out my ideas for immigration reform, and my hope is that this provide key markers to members of congress as we craft a bill, because the ideas that i am proposing have been traditionally accepted by john kennedy and president george bush. you don t get that match up very often. we know where the consensus will be. there will be rigorous debate about many of the details and every steak holder should engage in real give and take in the process. but it is important for us to recognize the foundation for bipartisan action is already in place. if congress is unable to move forward in a timely fashion, i will send up a bill based on my proposal and insist that they vote on it right away.
