The biggest, and best, reason to object is that government involvement in markets never has a positive outcome except for the very few who are well connected and are in a position to profit handsomely.
Tariffs are one of the economic control mechanisms given directly to the federal government, explicitly in the federal constitution.
In the end, will even quadrupling the import allowances crash the beef market?
I don't think so, I think all they will do is moderate the already high prices giving some relief to consumers while still allowing higher prices to be charged by American sellers, just not as high as before.
