Also the fact that you can't really put extra taxes on imports without fixing domestic production first. The way it is now Americans will have to deal with paying more for foreign goods that there simply is no domestic counterpart to. Tariffs are meant to protect domestic production, but they can't do that if there is no domestic production to protect.
It incentivizes domestic production. There's no reason to start it if you're out competed by a billion asians working for $3/day.
