you nelgected the fact that h1bs typically arent *actually* paid the prevailing wage, since the DOJ doesnt investigate it whatsoever. its typically a modest 15% less than comparable natives in the same role, for tech jobs at least

Not fair- think they can get free everything without doing any work or being paid from our American ?? coffers. It is criminal!!

Why all sides do not impose export taxes and cash in the revenue paid by importers?

Tariffs are consumer taxes on imports, collected from your own citizens, whenever they buy products or services from other countries. Trump said he would reduce taxes. He told voters other countries paid for Tariffs. They Don’t. They just lose sales, due to diminished demand. Tariffs are another way for the US government to tax its own people and reduce its trade deficit . It’s probably about time. USA has had a trade deficit every year, since 1970.

So a month paid by tax payers for a freak show is no big deal? ….wrong ….bye bye

TARRIFFS ARE PAID FOR BY THE CONSUMER, NOT THE COUNTRY IMPORTING THE GOODS, WHY IS NO ONE SEEING THIS!!!! \n\nTHEY'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER TO SQUEEZE EVERY LAST COPPER WE HAVE LEFT!!

People who do not know how the customs duty system works think that the customs duty is paid by the country where the goods are imported, but this is not true. The importer company pays the customs duty in the country that imports. The importer company collects the tax it pays from the people of that country by adding it to the price of the goods it sells in that country. Therefore, a 25% customs duty will cause the price of the products sold in the United States to increase. The increase in product prices will also cause inflation to increase. Inflation will cause the purchasing power of people in the United States to decrease.

Trump is a bully. He demanded 500 billion dollars from Saudi so they give 600 billions . Did that stop him . Noooo… He is asking now for a trillion! Other countries paid attention !

Tariffs will be paid by Americans NOT by the foreign countries.

Mexico gets paid by cartels. Tredau is a joke ???

don’t worry americans those tariffs will be paid by the imposed countries\nlike you think it works so there is no chance you will pay for the same things more from now on

The only reason Trump puts tariffs is to replace the taxes of the rich with import taxes that will be paid mainly by the poor. It is about pleasing the rich.

Cananda should have paid their 2% of GDP for NATO. Thats where all this started...

$36T debt going $37T this year. Another $1T debt interest to be paid. No budget cut, but more tax. Isn’t it the real reason?

Canada have been freeholders for decades, time they paid their way.

My vehicle is from Japan, gas is from North Slope, electricity is from Columbia River, for groceries I would never buy a BC greenhouse tomato, even if you paid for it. This is not my fight. Good luck, Canada should fold like a cheap suit in 60 days. Trudeau has bankrupted their credit.

Why does Canada bother with Tariffs on US goods?\nCost and CO2 pressures demand that Canada review its costs situation with energy and oil into the USA.\nMany costs have risen and they need to be passed on in a per mega Watt and Mega Barrel basis.\nFurthermore. Canada must step up its electrical and oil supply system maintenance to include twice daily stoppages to US bound energy so that system safety and performance is controlled.\nNext.\nCanada has a clear obligation to the USA to prevent a Russia/EU dependency occurring. So further stoppages to service delivery require urgent implementation.\nDo not worry. Emperor Trump will not sue. The US Lawyers know now they will not be paid by Trump.

Maybe I shouldn't like this but I do. Firstly, Canada has the luxury of not really needing to protect itself, they get to spend 3% what the US does on their military so they can focus on other things, like letting immigrants into the Country to price out the native Canadians and jailing people for misusing pronouns. Also, I want to see the US become slightly more isolationist, I'll happily pay more for US products. A tariff is paid buy the businesses who attempt to pass that cost down to the consumer. We need tariffs high enough that making things in the US makes more sense to these businesses.

Trump has already admitted: Tariffs do raise the US Cost of Living and that they are paid by US Consumers (including MAGA Consumers) NOT by the foreign country. He originally imposes a 25% Trump Tariff on Canada but only 10% on its oil and gad exports to the US. WHY?! Because he knows Tariffs will increase the Cost of oil imported to the US and therefore gas prices, and increase the Cost of Living to MAGA Consumers and decrease his political support. Trump is a grifter, so anything he proclaims is likely 10% truth and 90% Lies. Watch what he does and not what he says!

We’re thinking of you and standing with you through all challenges. Sending love and strength! ??❤️??

The greatest tariffs, fantastic tariffs, tremendous tariffs.? (don't tell the maga cult that tariffs are taxes paid by consumers)

Let the indians kids born into evergrowing debt by public servant terrorists leave this filthy country without judiciary or police or justice. Why get paid less for same work. Do anything, jump hoops to seek a place that respects you

We need to put a large tax on wire transfers of money out of the country. Billions flow out every year from illegals working here. The tax is paid at point of transfer, or it will never be collected.

We don't owe you wefare and foodstamps, go home and fix your own countries. No more taxpayer paid frre stuff.

Remember, folks were all Americans… all of us or our ancestors came from somewhere else… And some of us were robbed of our birth right & some of us were stolen and brought here to America… And we had to fight for the right to be considered a full human being… Let that sink in for just one second… Literally people in this country at one point in time were told, BY LAW, they could only be a fraction of a human being hence they couldn’t vote… GROW UR COMPASSION!! There’s blood baked into American soil so that you have the privilege of calling yourself an American… a 360 degree human being! Never forget how we got here & the price paid… never forget to show compassion for those who want to be seen as full human beings! Being acknowledged as a human being, with FULL UNIVERSAL RIGHTS out ranks being an American any day!

my guess is they were paid by the opposition

Why so you think indian visas are rejected ..... They don't know how to live in a community.\n\nWhen you get Visa for a country that country expects you to intergrade and live according to their standards...\n\nIrrespective of multicultural efforts paid for by governments indians live so dirty destroying the neiborhood...\n\nNever cleans after using a space\nNever care the time boundaries respected by others\nThrows garbage allover the place \nSteals \n\n\n\nThis is not for all Indians , I know some respectable indians too but majority is like this ...

They'll barge in here illegally, demand to have everything paid for, and then tell you how much they hate America. Border Patrol should've been deploying grenades

Soros or somebody's paid to make this happen. This is a publicity stunt. They KNOW our borders are closed now.

I bet you there are paid instigators in the crowd that started all this, as for the people responsible it could be the cartels or even the democrats.

WHY HAS AMERICANS ENABLE THIS FOR YEARS?! You are your own biggest problem then you complain there is no job, pay is less and housing is high. Of course it’s going to be for you when these illegals get paid peanuts and take whatever jobs they can get and thousands of them need housing who’s chances are they taking for places to rent you think? What is rest skyrocketing and that affects the housing price u buy. First protect your borders don’t give False hope to these ppl coz they are fools who will make the long trip thinking they are in the promised land once they cross the boarder ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

How ignorant are you people? My grandad was paid to move to Canada due to having a masters in economics and most of his friends were lawyers, doctors and engineers- when convenient we are ok, else you turn and speak garbage. Bravo\n\nFYI Canada was built by British who stole and crippled then one of biggest economies and took money to England and go Canada, America and Australia to build it all up.\n\nPlease host, show some education- don’t add to the ignorance

Ponder this, if you could go to a boarder country and get paid 80 bucks an hour vs 35, wouldn’t you try to go. They also like to live with multiple people so things are cheaper, of course it does not improve our economy.

Fix their own countries lol that's not even a blip in their thought process, why would they want to fix something that they already ruined when they can just come ruin ours and get paid to do it. when you can make terrible places even worse imagine what they can do to our country in an extremely short amount of time

They don’t want fix their own country, they want free benefits paid by us

You get paid to be an Instigator.

I have an idea..Pay legal workers atleast minimum wage! They are hiding because they're illegal, and they're being paid under the table, not paying any taxes, and they're also sending most of their money to the country of their origins!

Alberta has provincially funded Islam schools and over half the restraunts sell halal. She just put in halal mortgage and is working with the communities to put together a plan for giving you your holidays paid off from work.\n\nSmith wants to talk to you and find out what she has to do to get you to live in Alberta.

SHE'S REMARKABLE AND HAS PAID HER DUES. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IF TRUMP DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING BUT HETEROSEXUAL MEN AND WOMEN THAN THAT'S HIS PERROGATIVE. PERIOD.

?(Cost MORE to house Troops in Guantanamo)? no No NO! The Troops get paid WHEREVER! they live! Get a Life which contains 'Common Sense'. Thank You

This is a direct message to the German People. \nI say this as a working-class Englishman. \nYou have paid your debt enough with your liberal bullying governments since WW2 \nYou are a proud race and a hard working one. \nIf you reject multiculturalism there is no need to be ashamed of your choice. \nWe working-class Brits have and want nothing to do with our liberal establishment. \nSO..My point is... '' We are in the same situation as you. Don't be fooled.'' \nHere is the Kicker. In 30 years time they will be the majority in my land. \nClose your eyes, and imagine what these people are capable of doing. \nThe very very sad thing here, is that we were the 99% Indigenous population of this great Land in 1948. \n Sadly the 1% Globalist Bilderberg liberal elite brought these people here without even asking us !! Imagine the sheer vulgarity of it all. \nTo this very day, they show us absolutely no sign of respect whatsoever.

Absolutely no US taxpayer money should be used for gender reassignment procedures. Any of these people that underwent gender reassignment surgery that was paid for by the military should be required to pay this money back with interest.

Troons are only joining the army to have their surgeries and hormones paid for

Who paid for the pee pee to get cut off??? Tax dollars should not be spent on people wanting to get a pee pee installed or a pee pee removed

My brother waited 15 long years and paid a lot of money

Learn what God did in Sodom and Gomora as part of God's judgement because of Sin, one of their wickedness is sexual immorality.. The only way you can escape the judgement of God because of sin is to put your trust in Christ finished work of Salvation at the cross, His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection for your Salvation. Trust/believe it with all your heart then you will receive the gift of God, the eternal redemption of your soul from hell by trusting what Christ did at the cross. Christ paid the full price of your Salvation but you can only receive it if you put your trust alone in Hid death, burial, and resurrection for your Salvation. Grace and peace....

And who paid for it?

CNN doesn’t tell us transgender ppl will use the military medical and not serving their job. They get paid with their job and don’t have to do it because they ask for transgender operation and it’s not fair for the rest of the other members of the military who has to do their job during their absent for up to 8 months during their time of abusing the system. They are unfit to serve

You don't become a she by wearing nails, long hair and makeup- nor do you become she by getting body parts exchanged. You can't change your entire body. Even if you changed everything the frame is still a he. You start with a he and you end with a he. \n\nNo trans person is signing up for cramps, menopause, premature gray, saggy breasts and a deflated stomach after childbearing. They want to wear heels and makeup and play dress up- so do the real women but many are busy juggling jobs, single parenthood, custody battles, managing budgets- all while trying to keep families glued together. Nobody is paying for them to get reconstructive surgery post childbearing so why do men who want to play dress up get to? I've met flat chested women that want or don't want larger breasts and insurance won't cover it but these clowns wanting to play dress up get it paid for? What a joke. Do you know WHY they get it paid for? Because the insurance companies identify them as men- if they were really identified as women than insurance won't cover it. Suck on that.

That's good to know about the actual down times! Although, I don't think gender affirming care should be paid for and prioritized with the same urgency as a soldier wounded in battle.
