States most affected by trade war with Mexico

Maybe Texas will be the most affected and maybe not.

Here is a link to an article in Bloomberg on 2 February 2017.
See: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-trump-protectionism-alters-supply-chain/

So here is the process as I understand it from that article:
1. A US company orders a capacitor from an electronic parts supplier who in this case orders that capacitor from Asia.
2. The US company then ships that capacitor to Ciudad Juarez where it is mounted on a small circuit board.
3. The circuit board is then shipped back across the US border to El Paso, apparently a necessary step to avoid taxes or tariffs.
4. The circuit board is then shipped back across the Mexican border to Matamoros where a Norwegian automotive company factory assembles the circuit board into a seat actuator.
5. The seat actuator is shipped to a seat maker in Arlington Texas, among others.
6. The assembled seats are then shipped to GM in Arlington Texas.

Obviously all of this is being done to take advantage of cheap labor in Mexico and the minimal tariffs because of NAFTA. But I wonder if the US Congress understood that this was to be the way the system worked as a result of NAFTA.

1. I am very suspicious about the US company ordering a capacitor from an electronics parts supplier only to ship it to Ciudad Juarez! Why can’t the factory in Juarez order the part or parts themselves, and populate the circuit board?
2. I am also very suspicious about why the Juarez factory needs to ship the circuit board to El Paso before it is sent to Matamoros. Why?
3. I am also very suspicious about the Norwegian company building seat actuators in Mexico. Is this why Mexico has so many other free trade treaties?

My suspicion is that NAFTA is being used to allow a Norwegian company to supply a seat actuator to US seat maker and eventually GM while paying a NAFTA tariff.

Note that nothing particularly useful was done in the US at any point until the assembled Norwegian company’s actuator arrived in Arlington Texas. But it had to be shipped back and forth across the border anyway.

Was the intent of NAFTA to allow manufacturing companies around the globe to circumvent any US tariff on their products?

That actuator has to be built somewhere. Perhaps Texas would actually benefit if NAFTA was terminated.

Or the federal government would collect a tariff or tax to offset some of the yearly deficit. There seems to be a growing agreement that not enough was done to help those who were harmed by NAFTA. I am betting the American Corporations will not be paying that bill.
