Good,if they are illegal ship them out. Race,color creed etc…. The pendulum has swung back to law,order and the start of sanity and common sense. All of this is long over due. Bummer’s 3 term party is over!

11,000,000 people in the US without permission. Too clear them out - trump'd need to depot 7K per days every day for all 4 years of this term. cause for sure trump will attempt to remain in power when this term expires. If you are not seeing 7K per day leaving the USA - then you are watching a PR stunt.

This happened over a year ago. Why are you posting it now. You are worst than the Orange Man! This was done during the Biden term. Open your eyes MAGA!

Trump still a convicted criminal snd loser... nothing je does in next four years if hes lucky will stick...hes a troubles old man and all will be undone. He sucked losing after first term. Nothing will make a difference this Term!

Selling Religion to Americans to get to the white house second term.

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

Long term solution for Canada will be to make alliance with Russia, India and China, which are the future. \nHaving Russia, across the Arctic, will help increase trade with Russia and India and China through it. \nLet USA worry about having Russia and China sitting at its whole Northern border.

Why isn’t Mexico stepping up to ensure a living wage, safe housing, clean water, stiff prison terms for crime? What is the Mexican Government doing to change the situation? They need to provide for their people! Do better Mexico!

Tit for tat is economic childishness, let it roll, and get a proper professional economist to run your policy. Take a short term hit, let trump dig his own grave. You cant have a rational fight with someone who is insane.

I’ve read many comments urging Canada to reduce its exposure to the us. It’s reasonable but that doesn’t happen overnight. Refineries, for example, are custom built - they can’t process all crudes. They’d cost several billion to build and at least 3-5 years; plus, you need railways and port infrastructure to ship out oil or its byproducts. This should have been started in 2017 (trump’s 1st term). In the short term, free trade zones within Canada and Mexico may alleviate some of the tariffs.

I thought that kings and queens were a past term. Why is no one giving him sane advice? Mad king

We love the good people of Canada and can’t wait to welcome them as the 51st State.\n\nThe tariffs are meant to crack down on Chinese exports moving through Canada and Mexico as middle men to avoid their own tariffs. Had both Canada and Mexico regulated the terms of our agreements better on “product origin” then none of us would be in this position. Furthermore, China smuggles drugs through both Canada and Mexico using resins that are chemically embedded with synthetic drugs. So, neither Canada nor Mexico should be climbing on any high horses when their exports are killing our people.

Short-term pain; long-term gain. Bring back product to USA.

As an American good luck. We willing to take a short term hit to be self sufficient. Why would we not?

México is at fault by letting the illegal immigrants cross their southern border. The level of corrupted politicians in Mexico is higher and higher every new term! And I am Mexican.

Every country was well prepared for Trumps nonsense.. he will see and feel his second term in a different way.

Let’s all trade with China and India long term and treat USA like we do with N Korea

The guy who has been bankrupt 7 times (add his disastrous first term) is about to make it 8.

Canada is depedent on usa. Usa isnt on canada. So canadians stop ur bulshit talk now and come to terms. Your economy will collapse soon. Trump knows that. ???

If inflation spikes the Republicans will lose the mid terms. \nThat's all people care about, Cost Of Living.

Trump started the trade war to redirect the attention from the aviation tragedies that he caused to the tariffs. \nPlease do not forget to keep the finger on the first killings of his second term. \nInformation about his role in the tragedies was coming out ,when he suddenly initiated the trade war.

Does the average American realize that this will hurt them enormously in the long term? if your friend suddenly turns out to be your enemy, you will never trust him again as before. Once that happens, people will never want to buy junk from America again. who won then....

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

Only time will tell who will really suffer. But I do hope this would only be a short term. Trump only wants to re-negotiate in my opinion. This is his way to start talking.

Trumps actions will lead to the formation of new alliances never imagined before. Enemies will become friends, friends will become enemies. BY THE END OF HIS TERM.

This was the correct decision because the US wants bring jobs back to the USA. Jobs in Mexico vs USA trump will choose jobs in the US; Politely subsidized lumber from Canada vs lumber from the USA easy decision; Dairy from Oh' Canada , a short term squeeze. On behalf of all US citizens I would like to thank the people of El Mehico and Oh' Canada for the help in the disentanglement.

If USA can do this to long-term friends and allies, one can see how traitorous this new maga leader and his cult followers are!!

Who cares about Short-term inflation for long-term gains

Think about it, it breaks up globalisation, makes countries be sovereign again and learn to manufacture from within.\nThe global elites loose power, sovereignty comes back to all.\nThe WEF and UN agendas fail…..people stay free…..always look at the. Non obvious outcomes….short term pain, long term improvement.

Canadian will stand strong retaliate in stronger terms against fascist ajenda

If you’re worried....head south on your own terms! But head south!

Better for ?? ❤ in long term it will built a stronger economy without United snakes mercy

Twelve days into the Trump Administration's second term and we are already at (tarrif) wars with Canada, China and Mexico. We have another 1,450 more days to go before this administration ends. God help us all ! ?

As a Canadian...all I can say is that both sides are going to suffer and the long term business relations will suffer

Ihan Omar Somalia interesting. I am black and I approve this message. Illegal immigration is a short term fix for a long term problem. An entire industry should not be all illegals It makes NO sense! I did not vote for Trump but the democrats were wrong to let this happen!

Why do those of us on the political left keep allowing those on the political right to dictate the terms of public conversations, even when we have the facts on our side? It is estimated that 1.7% of the world population is biologically intersex. That's roughly the same as the percentage of the world population that is naturally redheaded. Trump's executive order states that the US government only recognizes two biological sexes.  This means that as far as the US government is concerned, biologically intersex people don't exist. This is analogous to having an executive order saying redheads do not exist.  It's nonsense.  So, why aren't biologists from all over the country pointing this out? The percentage of the world population that identifies as transgender is at most 0.6%.  So why are we talking about transgender people when there is a larger group of people that Trump's executive order discriminates against?  Here's why: because folks on the left insist on allowing those on the right to set the terms of almost every debate we have in this country and folks on the right are happy to ignore intersex people (whose existence conclusively establish that their views are false) and those of us on the left stupidly follow their example in doing so. If we are serious about protecting trans people, we need to be smart about this. Let us reframe the public debate to focus on intersex people.  This will make exposing the lunacy of Trump's executive order much easier when engaging a general public that is too ignorant, lazy, and indifferent to educate themselves about trans people. So, let's help out the lazy ignorant masses by adopting a simpler (and more science-based) approach to the debate over whether there are two biological sexes by making the simple, scientifically sound observation that biological sex is bimodal, not a binary.  And not amount of executive orders can ever change that fact.

Remember, Trump promised he would lower the cost of groceries. He also said he was going to impose tariffs on imported goods from other countries. You should know that tariffs will RAISE the cost of living not lower it. When Trump was asked about it by a reporter, he said tariff costs are passed along to consumers which may cause short term disruption. But then said he wasn’t concerned about disruption because we should understand. We can’t afford food and gas now. This POTUS has no brain!

BLAME OBAMA ( 3RD ) term ( UNCLE JOE )

On every corner is a homeless Citizen or a Veteran sleeping on the sidewalk unable to get any sort of assistance, housing is scarce and rent is high, while many working Americans can barely afford to put food on the table, keep the lights on and pay rent?? \nThis is NOT ok. We need to ramp up the border security. What makes them think they can avoid deportation long term?? What makes them think they deserve assistance while our own people are suffering and dying on the streets? Why should we care about immigrants when we can't help our own people??! Make it make sense!! I didn't agree to give illegals a free ride while working my a$$ off while the threat of homelessness or extreme poverty hanging over my head every effing day!!!

What is the long term plan for those 30,000 people ?

this is full of SH*T. these two are clowns of the World in terms of Humanity... one has Mental Illness and One is full of Crap as Journalist/Anchor

“Irregular migration” is such a BS term. Whatever country uses that term should be afraid of who resides in their country

WTF did this term irregular come from? Maybe we could use the correct term, “Illegal.”

Lets rephrase in different term: police started to impose law on criminals. Criminals are in fear...

Using terms like:fear,scared, and business loss. That is to distract people from the elephant in the room. Entering illegally is a crime.

Russia wants a regime change in Ukraine. A regime which is more friendly about Russian/Ukranian future relation. And yes also no NATO for Ukraine. This is what Russia is pushing for. I'm not sure which one of the directions would be good for Ukraine (in the long term)

Only illegal immigrants may be in fear. Hence your title (on thumbnail) is annoyingly and in a sneaky intentional way misleading. Of course there is no such thing as illegal immigrant, the idiotic term undocumented immigrants is the term in fashion. Also shoplifting of goods under $1000 is not only not illegal but encouraged (by not prosecuting them) in California.

Take out the term illegal and Start addressing them as criminals.

heres where rubber meets the road. \n\nNot being able to accept/come to terms with your natural strengths and weakness is the issue. \n\nIdentifying as anything other than killer is the complete wrong mentality.....if your sexuality is your identity, not only are you shallow, but you are INEFFECTIVE at the mission. \n\nPut 1 transgender person in infantry, and you destroy the company morale. They ruin comraderie and brotherhood. Truth, albeit obvious, hurts sometimes.

Last I knew from being a mental health clinician for 40 years Body Dysmorphia is still termed a mental illness not to mention the hormone med side effects negatively impacting physical and mental status. So subject these Transgenders to testing particular to these issues and if that shows fitness look at it on a case by case situation!
