  1. April 4,2019 Border Shutdown Would Severely Hamper AutoIndustry BY POLITICO PRO DATAPOINT STAFF President Donald Trump’s threat to close the U.S.-Mexico border would have particularly severe consequences for the auto industry, which relies on Mexico and some Central and South American countries for parts and production. Auto production accounts for more than a quarter of the bilateral trade in goods between the U.S. and Mexico, and auto parts typically cross the border eight times during the assemblyprocess.

Border shutdown would cost auto manufacturers $5.6 billion perweek The Center for Automotive Research, an independent research institute, estimates that an auto company losesabout $1.3 million for every hour an assembly line is down.
