This 100x. This is the time to go all in and truly shake everything from the ground up. If the US moves at least 25% to the continent, it could solve lots of issues by developing manufacturing for critical products in-house and nearshoring the rest to LATAM, helping reduce illegal immigration considerably. Win-win for the whole continent.

It will be more expensive for the consumer who will have been busy paying the tariff sales tax to get to that point. There's a reason businesses moved industry overseas.
