In time of war the President has the power to raise import duties.

Pretty sure Mexico isn't a terrorist nation and technically Congress hasn't declared war.

Trump is just being Trump with his Mexico tariffs. It plays well to his base. One potentially good thing about Trump is that the power of the imperial Presidency will in all probability decline. Not a bad thing in and of itself.

In addition, Trump isn't going to close the border with Mexico for the very same reasons Massaro gave.
