The entire US auto industry would shut down within a week if President Trump goes through with his pledge to close the US-Mexican border, according to a leading expert on the industry

That's because every automaker operating an auto plant in the United States depends on parts imported from Mexico, said Kristin Dziczek, the vice president of industry, labor and economics at the Center for Automotive Research.About 37% of all auto parts imported to the United States originate in Mexico. Virtually all car models in America have Mexican parts, she said. Because of that reliance, she said the auto industry would stop producing vehicles relatively quickly.

"Any action that stops commerce at the border would be harmful to the US economy, and in particular, the auto industry," Blunt said. "Access to Mexico's marketplace and North American integration are critical to operations in the US.

PoppyHarlowCNN The purpose of the U.S. government is to protect American citizens. Also to protect U.S. borders. Asylum seekers if truthful would seek asylum in Mexico not U.S. Best policy would be to move divisions of U.S. troops to the border and deny all including alleged asylum folks.

PoppyHarlowCNN If the auto makers like GM, Ford and Chrysler are serious about protecting their production, they would be securing alternative sources for components manufactured in Mexico. Anything else would be irresponsible. FoxNews fbtalk
