Of course, it'll mean higher prices, which means that people won't be buying as many goods made in Mexico. Considering the majority of goods imported, there are multiple alternatives. It's a case of Mexico needs the US far more than the US needs Mexico.

And if people are not buying products there will be no money from taxes, which still means the americans will be financing the wall.

I think you're lacking a pretty fundamental understanding how all this works. Mexico is dependent on the US to buy our goods. They will either raise their prices to help cover some of the loss (ie. this is what life is like in Europe) or take a profit hit to keep their place in the market.

The vacuum that would be created by lack of US purchase of Mexican goods would be far too large for those companies to not be competitive.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
