Here are all the foods and beverages you can expect to pay more for if this tax is actually imposed:

• 93 percent of Hass avocados sold in the U.S. come from Mexico [Hass Avocado Board, 2017]

• Currently, the U.S. imports 78 percent of Mexico's avocado production [USAID, 2014]

• 71 percent of tomatoes sold in the U.S. come from Mexico [USDA, 2016]

• The U.S. imported over $1.3 billion worth of beer from Mexico last year [Statista, 2016]

• The U.S. imports about 79 percent of Mexico's total annual exports of tequila [Tequila Regulatory Council, 2014]

• 15 percent of all sugar consumed in the U.S. comes from Mexico [USDA, 2017]
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.
