Trump promises tariffs of 25% to 75% on Mexican goods unless illegal immigration stops

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Trump argued the proposal has an "100% chance of working" because if the 25% tariff doesn't work, he'll squeeze the country with a 50% and then 75% tariff.
41% : "I'm going to inform her on day one or sooner that if they don't stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I'm going to immediately impose a 25 percent tariff on everything they send into the United States of America," Trump said during his rally in Raleigh, N.C. on Monday, referring to Mexico's president.
39% : If elected, Trump has proposed enacting a variety of tariffs, which act as taxes on imported goods, on all U.S. imports.
36% : Trump has also proposed replacing federal income tax with tariffs.
28% : Trump touted his tariff-tax swap as returning to policies of former President William McKinley in the late 1890s.
