How much money did he cost the taxpayers to turn this guy into someone who looks like a woman. How many psychological tests, surgeries and other costs has the taxpayer had to pay for,, and will have to pay for, the rest of this person's life because of her G.I. benefits.

Let them in. All our costs will drop. Who do you think works in the kitchens of your favorite restaurants and in the fields picking our produce for slave wages without benefits? Do you think they are taking away jobs from lazy, self-entitled Americans ? No fkg way !

Imagine being too dumb to realize this is what cost you the election? Keep playing that tiny violin, sure seems to be working great for you?

Actually to tell you the truth, the cost of housing is about equivalent or a little cheaper when you do the currency conversion, in Canada and the United States. Toronto and Vancouver (which seems to be the primary examples here) are significantly cheaper than New York but the most expensive in Canada. This post is way over the top, exaggerating the situation in Canada.

the fact is that those who transition have to take hormonal treatments for the rest of their life. regardless of the qualities someone who is trans may have placing them in military units create problems. in addition there is the fact that transitioning may have other long term health effects that would raise the cost of medical benefits for our soldiers and veterans. this is not the simple issue of discrimination based on sexual identity that CNN wants to portray it as. whether we have a tax based economy or a tariff economy in the future up until now it is the American taxpayer that has had to fund military expenses including health care for our soldiers and veterans.

I don’t believe the taxpayers should cover the cost for transgenders. Pay for it yourself

CNN call for the Grounding USAF F35 Program January 28th 2025 at Eielson Air Force Base > 100 Million Dollar USAF [ F-35 CRASH ] Will Now Exceed $2 Trillion As the Military Plans to Fly It Less. he F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter is the Department of Defense’s most ambitious weapons program and plays a crucial role in DOD’s ability to meet current and future U.S. national security goals. At the same time, the F-35 has been plagued by mounting costs and delays resulting in what some have called a staggering price tag of more than $2 trillion over several decades. \nDOD is pursuing a $16.5 billion modernization effort that will provide the F-35 with new capabilities through both hardware and software upgrades.

It cost 700k dollars to deport 80 immigrant let that shink in?

This gonna cost fortune for usa?

Why even try for the visa to apply it costs u a lot n that money goes to them west n euro n fails u that's another scam business for them west n euro

I’m from Vancouver bc and it upsets me that this site keeps saying oh we need skilled workers not labourers I’m a skilled worker born and bred in bc 10 years experience painter can’t get a job unless I get 10$ less per hour than 2014 and carpentry same thing. The employers want only Indian and Mexican workers because there cheap. This Friday I’m going homeless with my dog because I can’t find work or affordable housing. Government saying we need skilled workers is a scam they want cheap workers no sense of safety or Canadian culture. How did the government let this happen we’re fucked also how did wages not go up when cost of living doubled I don’t care about being able to buy a 1.5 million dollar house but the locals should be able to get by

This is sick stop them at all cost,stop having babies you idiots,

I would not pay anything for the trip. This is a US decision. They did not ask if other countries would accept the cost of it, or would take the transportation by their own.\nUSA is showing abusive again. !!!!!

Good. Now Americans can pay $50 for a tiny bag of coffee. Good going, jerk! Trump's an idjit. Blame him when a personal Coca-Cola costs $10 a bottle.

They will find it unaffordable here just as those of us born in Canada do. They will be heavily taxed and struggle with their Walmart and Tim Horton's jobs to save enough for a down payment on a house that is only a small bungalow, yet costs half a million dollars. Maybe they haven't realized it's not all that great living in Canada.

Illegal Immigration cost 120 billion last year. Meanwhile of you would give every American citizen 200k a year it would cost 40 billion. ?

They'll get off the plane, and go right back to the US and try again. \nIn fact. MORE will now attempt it seeing that if they get caught, they'll simply get a free plane ride home. \nHell, if I was one of them, I'd be doing it as well!! This is good news for illegals. \nAnd just look at the number of people in here supporting this ridiculous strategy from Trump. \nLol, you idiots are dumb as dirt to think this will help stop illegals coming into your country. \nIt's going to INCREASE it. And it will cost you millions every year without end. \nLive and never learn.

My quandary is before Trump initiated this action for Ice, to start cracking down on immigration, why in the hell did we keep all these agents on the payroll. prior to this recent enacted legislation, all presidents to include Trump before and since Biden’s? administration never were tough on immigration, so what was this wasteful government organization doing all these years, while immigrants were having free reign? This is only one of many government agencies formed, that do nothing but cost taxpayers money from their paychecks?

Wtf they think they’re gonna find here ? Even in the cheapest places, the wages are low in the US so you may be making 15 bucks an hour but it’s gonna cost you 1500 in rent. They need to understand coming here is not the answer.

Protect the Border at all costs!

Hope ppl know that no matter is happening for us american ppl, prices will only go up! They might drop the cost of gas for a few months to make u feel good and than shoot back up with everything else at a higher rate than today! Its been happening for longer than i been alive

Everybody has some sort Internet connection. They need to look up what Tariffs are. When Trump was campaigning he said he was going to put a 25% tariff in China and all of his supporters cheered and clapped ! I’m sitting here going don’t they know that that increase cost is going to be pushed down to the consumer?!?!! It’s the everyday American who is going to end up paying that 20% 25% increased in cost!!! it’s going to affect our living standards and not in a good way! Not the wealthy people in this country who Trump says he’s going to protect because they’re his friends! I don’t get it! Trump is sitting here, threatening to put tariffs on all the countries that’s not doing what he wants them to do! And people cheer! Unless you’re the wealthy, you’re gonna be screwed with the cost-of-living that’s gonna be reflected in those tariffs!!

Stop it Selena You have lots money inflation housing crisis community resources human trafficking drugs and every other problem everyday Americans face due to the cost of ILLEGALS ILLEGALS ILLEGALS may not be affecting you IT IS EVERYDAY AMERICANS. Where are the tears for Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nugarary ????? AMERICAN’S SLAIN . Where are the tears for our children being left behind in education and health ????

Labour market need? Just driving down wages with an influx of cheap labour. And driving up housing costs. The government should have never let it get to this point.

THIS KIND OF MAYHEM IS EXACTLY WHY THEY CANNOT BE IN OUR COUNTRY !!!! THEY'RE UTTERLY UNCIVILIZED AND SO UNHINGED. THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT OUR SAFETY OR THEIR OWN CHILDREN'S - THEY'RE LIKE WILD FEROCIOUS ANIMALS!!!!!! NOOO!!! WE NEED TO STOP THEM AT ALL COSTS, THEY'RE ASKING FOR IT!!!!

CNN doing more sane washing of trumps disputable actions!!!\nCNN why are you not correctly reporting WHY Columbia refused the MILITARY planes!!!\nThis photo opp stunt cost Americans almost $900,000.00!! Also this stunt could be ILLEGAL!!! Oh I forgot laws don’t matter when it comes to the MIST CORRUPT PRESIDENT in US history!!!\nTrump could care less about the cost to you ignorant Americans!!!!\nBut hey keep cheering for this vile conman!!\nAmerica is turned into a cesspool over night with this fasist vile criminal as your president!!!\nWow how dumb are Americans?? Apparently EXTREMELY dumb! You voted for THAT thing not once but twice!!!!\nBrain dead Americans!!!!\nGood job you fricken idiots!!! You got exactly what you voted for! He told you all what he was going to do but I guess you thought being apart if trumps cult would protect you!!! ???? it’s not! Trump could care less about you! He chewed you up and is now spitting you out with a huge smile on his face!!! Good job American imbeciles!!!!

? lmao is there finally someone standing up to trump. Hahahaha. Trump is getting humbled by other countries. Because we America can't ?what a darn moron. Tariffs cost America alot more money on goods when those countries just bring up the price for Americans so they can pay those tarrifs. It's been proven already with Mexico.a civic built in Mexico use to cost Americans 20k now its up to 40k because of dumb ass donald bringing tariffs. Bro no one cares about your threats trump there just empty when those countries tell u go f yourself. What a darn idiot.this is what you voted for ?

stop them at all cost

Yeah he’s gonna cost thousands of dollars good on you Americans

Stop them at all cost

Interesting how CNN and MSNBC NEVER reported on the border invasion for the past 4 years under Biden regime who opened borders and even flew illegals into our country without any vetting. This is why we have more crime and also the cost to taxpayers to feed house educate and provide healthcare to them. Funny how they are showing it now. CNN was part of the problem covering up for Biden mafia.

Dear tax payer. These flights which get turned around cost you...cost tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve nothing. \nWe're now effectively giving migrants free theme park rides lol

MEXICOS FAULT!!! TRUMP needs to CHARGE Mexico for the billons it's costing the US to control our borders!!

I don't get why Colombia won't take their own citizens. They'd rather US go to the trouble and cost of incarceration. \nNot doing their citizens favors because they probably would not be in jail in their home country.

Tarrifs affect the American consumer and businesses with higher costs not the country of origin.

The fine columbian is gonna cost a whole lot more, ?

Fail to negotiate: prepare to fail. Coffee will cost 25% more now on the US.

8ball gonna cost you junkies 800 now lol

The two flights to Mexico that got turned away carried less than 100 migrants cost US taxpayers $900,000! CNN might want to mention that. Drumpf used expensive military jets because he just couldn't wait for CBP jets (because he wanted a photo shoot!). He should have to pay for the extra cost out of his pocket, not ours. What will it cost to take migrants back to China? Tax cuts for the billionaire broligarchs cost US money. Using C-130 aircraft is overkill and affects military readiness. Threatening tariffs on our allies is going to spark trade wars. He's a moron.

USA should build prisons in Salvador I bet president Bukele would go for it and the USA can put the unwanted immigrants in prison at a very lower cost.

Politicians don’t care if the cost of bread doubles. They’re rich. It’s not them that feel it. They are not for the people. But for their ego and pocket!

Hey Don Jr, your cocaine is going to cost alot more now that Daddy acted out. MAGA, hope you like tea, because you won't be able to afford coffee anymore.

Hmmm, coffee from one country costing a little more or criminal “migrants” staying in America?

All countries in the world should deny all the American deportation planes landing rights.\nAfter all, in those tarrifs , the American population will bear the extra cost, the coffee you love so much, will skyrocket.

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

Coffee will cost more than cocaine. Thanks Trump.

LOL, so what’s going to happen? The cocaine coming into the USA is going to cost 25% more. What a joke.

Trump preferred to distract people from inflation with talk of adding Greenland to the United States or seizing the Panama Canal.\n\n“It’s catnip and it causes everybody to stop paying attention to their actual economic agenda, which has nothing to do with lowering costs and everything to do with rigging the economy to help the Mar-a-Lago crowd

He has no clue, that the tariff, put on Columbian goods, would be a cost to USA consumers. Many businesses in America, remain dependent on Columbian immigrants. Food supply chains, would be interrupted.

Ha ha, what a joke this is… MAGA, about to get some serious cost increases in food ???
