I think if any TG meets the standards and those around them co-sign then we should honor that contract instead of just ending it especially for those who were TG before enlisting. Especially for those who have already sacrificed and served in a great way. Those should be grandfathered in… or grandmothered in… ?

If you have a penis but you believe youre a woman you arent a mentally stable person. Thie transgender were looked at as perverts. Now you get to choose your own pronouns and expect me to share in your delusion that you are a different sex than what youre born with. That you too as a transgender female can get periods or pregnancy. Its ludicrous. These people need mental health. Not cutting off perfectly healthy body parts. Sex change operations do not chane your gender. It's a dangerous game to play with the rest of your life . Nobody said puberty was easy but its part of the human experience. Becoming an adult has to happen.To take the poison of hormones you will become barren. For these kids cutting yourself uo seems to be ok. Its insanity. Only disturbed people cut off parts of their body. Especially the amount of men castrating themselves. WTF? This has gone to far and Im glad to see a change with Trump in office now

This shouldnt be an issue especially as its advocated by a draft dodger.

The mental and physical health of our military troops - especially its leadership - must be a top priority of The United States of America's military.

So well said. Especially the last part. People hating on transgenders as a community simply dont have the critical thinking to judge for themselves and more importantly most of those people simply do not know any transgender people.

As a MARINE CORPS veteran, I stand with President Trump! Enough is enough, there is no place for this in our military, ESPECIALLY the Marine Corps!??????✌️

Why are more Indian visas being rejected? Take a look at what's happening with Indians (mainly Punjabis) arriving in Canada since about 2022, especially on student visas, and you may find the answer to your question. It's been a disaster.

*Putting a dress on uncle Harry doesn’t make him my aunt. It only validates they are confused. No interest in playing pretend with them, especially in a military unit.*

Hello people hello world this is the Mississippi boy let me be very clear every black person minority person transgenders people that are in military they ought to resign just quit in the army armed forces whatever they are in position that they have taken in this country they do not need to work up under this administration to protect this country especially if you are black and minorities native Americans and other races here working and trying to protect this country they all should resign and quit and let Donald Trump send his family members and friends and these white privilege white supremacist people to war and let them defend this country not us as poor People's and these people don't care nothing about us but we will go out here and lose our life for protecting these white supremacist here in this country it's time to wake up America it's time to wake up people

They take away from so many homeless Americans, especially women. Enough is enough. There are so many in this video trying to get in. Imagine what would happen if they succeeded? Not to mention the ones that are already here. I don't feel bad for them. If they stick together, they can make their Mexico a great america, too.

For thousands of years indigenous peoples of the americas travelled up and down the coasts ......Just because you build a border that doesn't change that especially when there is suffering and poverty involved ??❤️?

I have a lot of sympathy for these people, especially considering many gave up everything they had to pay smugglers to get this far while our government was effectively letting everyone in while offering additional incentives such as money and temporary housing. That said, if we don't have borders we don't have a country. Add on the massive welfare state that they will all become burdens on, either immediately or eventually, and it becomes clear to anyone with a little bit knowledge and common sense that the policies of the Biden administration that allowed things to get this bad, if not stopped immediately, would mean the end of the middle class, the further impoverishment of the lower class and massive benefits for the wealthiest among us. And when I say wealthy I'm not talking about the guy making 7 figures. I mean those who control billions, either directly or indirectly. You know, the same people who have the power to influence political parties to enact such policies and push narratives by the corporate media that state anyone who questions the policy is racist, greedy, heartless, or xenophobic.

Finally, we have a safe border. We need to help American citizens first, especially military veterans, who are natural born citizens from day one. Repair America's infrastructure beginning with its actual citizens.

No one made the social net in Canada for us, we made it for each other. That's democracy. Having said, that, I use the healthcare system as little as possible while others are breaking its back with minor colds, especially since Covid. Fear of lack of healthcare was not the Canadian norm, but seems to have become that way resulting in people destroying a good thing and getting lazier about personal responsibility! So much talk about politics everywhere now and not much talk about responsibility for ourselves let alone our neighbours. Politicians are not gods!

Absolutely NO immigrants from muslim countries. \nIts too much of a security risk and any country with high muslim population makes the country less safe for everyone, especially girls and women. \nThis is a GLOBAL STATISTICAL FACT.

I don't agree with the invasion at all and it should be stopped. However! Have some compassion people, some of these comments are heartless. Who knows what some of these people have been through in their misguided journey. The women and children especially.

I’m sorry we simply do not have the resources they think we have. Especially housing and safety??‍♂️. Also, I’m a democrat.

What's wrong with these people? Money isn't growing on the trees in America. Stay in your country instead of being in miserable situation. Especially the Afghans who don't love their country to rebuild it. I don't think these people will due of starvation if they return to their countries.

Donald Dumb is destroying American economy though, tariifs won't work especially if you're putting tarrifs to countries like China, India, Canada, Japan , Taiwan and S Korea

This is what happens when you elect democrats to a higher office. Especially when you elect a Democrat who is got Alzheimer’s. I want to know who was really running the country because Biden wasn’t.

Colombia has taken so many evil people and poor destitute people from Venezuela as refugees and it can’t absorb them but Colombians normally come legally to the USA and make great Americans my family in law for example are good conservative people who support Trump and I’d like to have my family in the USA all in one place especially is colombia will turn into Venezuela under a corrupt regime who has ruined everything and hurt most of the citizens idk how he won if he did even win but the USA came into Colombia before to stabilize it and it worked for a long time and there are 30,000 U.S. expats here or people with family ties or like me who happened to marry into a Colombian family. Not long ago I saw Trump with former President Duque and their wives and there was a beautiful relationship and colombia was booming in one year the USA must put back the former establishment and restabilize the mess that has been made under this communist guerrilla member and I hope saying this doesn’t bring lash back to me or my family here in Colombia. But my husband and me want to come home to the USA as soon as possible he isn’t a criminal his father is a Pastor at a small countryside church they don’t deserve this.

Ask any U.S. Government employee about all the immigrants that are in high GS positions they are not qualified for. I’m thinking Nigerians especially. Been going on for decades. And we are worried about these people.

USA!USA!USA! #1! God bless us! Wait for all of this to hit our pocketbooks….. especially after we launch tariffs on China! And of course, watch retaliatory tariffs from China hit US exports.

I like to see them try that in Korea.I like to see them try that in China.And I'd love to see them.Try that in russia and especially poland

Well Colombia was not even in the picture but if they insist, Trump will be happy to let them know that you cannot oppose to USA but especially to Trump. Hopefully they will understand soon or pay the consequences

Everyone here should read a little bit of history, especially about the war between Mexico and the US in 1846 -1848, then talk about who crossed the border first

This is not good for anyone especially small business and consumers here. \nBut you have to ask why don't they want their people Back?

We as colombians know which product will cross the border without tariffs and its what most americans use, especially the hollywood industry ?

The world should give USA a 25.% tariffs on 100% of all exports. Especially teslas and all cars made in USA. Do not wait. Isolate this maga government.

Making trade enemies is not a good idea, aggressive negotiations is not a good idea. Especially over a few thousand people, when the decision negatively affects millions of people. Strengthen methods preventing illegal entry. Don't make enemies of our trade partners over this. ??‍♂️

If that does not work, targeting remittances would be the coup de grâce. President Petro needs the foreign exchange to keep his economy going especially since he is facing a new insurgency. The business community in Columbia is very sophisticated and there will be tremendous pressure on Petro to relent.

My only question is, especially with the Trump regime in power, why would you want to?\n\nThe second you get caught, you're getting sent back anyway. Im sorry folks, but theres nothing here for you

I'd rather pay more for bannanas than to have 20M unvetted immigrants. Especially considering that round 1 are criminals. Even though CNN failed to mention that aspect, the subjects in this story are probably criminals, which is why Columbia doesn't want them.

I’m not a financial expert but it strikes me that placing a tariff on every country of the world (especially major trading partners like china and Canada) will only harm the US and therefore US citizens.

Some countries don't want to be seen as receiving kidnapped people especially those that are not from Colombia & are definitely not Colombian citizens... this was nit deportation this was stalk,capture, transport & abandon... only show slaveship tactic uses planes instead of boats

As a Brit I know many decent integrated Indians here. But none of them are recent arrivals. Older immigrants were respectful and wanted to be British and adopt British ways. But newer immigrants act as if we owe them something while acting in disrespectful dirty disgusting ways. For example in India I have to use Indian toilets as Indians do. I don’t pretend I don’t understand how to use them, I don’t need instructions on the door and I don’t break the toilet by standing on it, shytting up the walls and all over the floor and leave it there like that’s normal. I’ve worked in offices where this was routine when Indian contractors were brought in. Integrated Indian men seem to take great pride in dressing smartly and smelling good. But it’s really common for Indians to smell REALLY BAD. Poor personal hygiene plus excessive amounts of Indian food (you’re abroad ffs try some different food!) creates a truly vile odour. Some Indian men also think it acceptable to stare at and harass British girls (although to be fair they do not have as bad a reputation as their neighbours) they are also rude and racist to white people especially women. Some Indians in 2025 still seem to think they’re living under the Raj and Britain is ‘oppressing’ them. They’re not and we’re not. The empire brought benefits to India and left peacefully over 70 YEARS ago. We don’t owe you ANYTHING. This victim mentality means India will NEVER be a proper first world country. You can flood the world with sheer numbers but you will never be respected or improve the world in any way, you will only ever leech off the invention of others. I do not mean to disrespect the many decent Indian people I’m just telling the truth. As a culture your presence outside of India is negative because of the way so many Indians act, trying to create India wherever they go. And they have the cheek to say this is ok because they got colonised. WELL SO DID WE! That is the truth.

Range of responses here is just astonishing. The basic fact is that no one gives a shit about Indians especially Western countries. They'll stay racist as long as it suits them. And the thing about indians misbehaving, that is just contextual. That's not part of the larger problem. Larger problem is the government itself-if it cares enough for its people then it needs to do right by them.

It really sucks that the people just looking for asylum in another country is so opposed. Especially when it’s the drug problem in the U.S. that also fuels the cartels in Central and South America.

Make sure they don’t flee up to Canada!!!! Especially Tren de Aragua!!!! We must secure our borders.

This is addressed mainly to the ugly Indian: My generation came to the racist west and built a golden reputation. We worked hard, assimilated, paid our taxes, and obeyed the laws. We were humble. We celebrated our native cultures within the confines of our communities. While it was frustrating to be invisible in white culture, we never sought to conquer them with our culture. We were ethical to the hilt. Our generations were poor -- yet we struggled to help others in India and in the west. We were NEVER on the dole. Personally I think it is rude to enter a nation (in the west or anywhere in the world) with naked opportunism. Speaking for myself -- despite neocolonialism, I admired western civilization, especially its older forms. \n \nBut the ugly Indian who comes now is loud, brash, socially irresponsible, exploitative, money-hungry, opportunistic, and arrogant beyond belief (full of the hubris that comes from sudden new wealth). They look down on us who have been here a while. They are used to a servant-culture and look down on white working class people, as if they are servants. As for second generation Indians in the west, they can be racist towards us first generations. But the opposite is true as well. Indian newcomers see them as an alien species. Indians do tend to hire their own and stick to their own identities -- I do not mean the Indian identity, but their native state identities. All this feeds into the primary and secondary forms of western racism that are already simmering beneath the surface. This new genre of Indians is destroying the goodwill we have built. I have personally witnessed arrogant young Indian students cutting the line to reach the front desk. No manners, no ethics. As a first generation Indian immigrant I get annoyed. So why shouldn't native born westerners (who are already racist)? \n \nBut to complain about how they smell is rude beyond belief. This must stop.

It makes me sad that these folks are this desperate. Especially the women and children. I don't know the answer - I know I don't want criminals coming over, but these folks are incredibly desperate. ? If they make it here, they will learn that our country is just as phucked up as their country - and getting worse, actually.

I don't understand why India has to be so reliant on foreign countries. Especially with so many young and talented kids joining the workforce. Indians are smart people, and are bright and talented, and should focus on making work/life conditions better in their own country and focus on the growth of their own country. It's not like we lack intelligence, or culture, or values. I don't like this constant feeling of rejection if visa gets denied to move to a foreign country. Oh we can quadruple our income in a foreign country and send money home. Make changes in India to facilitate that, and not have to feel reliant on a foreign country to make that happen. It's time to make other countries want to come to India for a better future..

I am surprised that someone like Palki is asking this question. The West won't answer that? It's because of our behaviour, our fake documents and the scams that we pull. Why does the Indian government not address the fact that India has been running the world's biggest immigration scam? Punjab, Gujarat (emphasis on the rat), Haryana, Delhi, etc - the biggest scam running ever. 95% of them do not know how to behave in public and will gather enmass, no doubt a posse of fellow fraudulent immigrants with their fake scores and IELTS documents all paid for and forged by their fraud agencies, and then they make a mess in the foreign country that they go to. Start a F*cking chat counter and lay those stupid cots all over the parking area and then bring their entire family, who can't speak English or the language of that land and then roam around. Possibly even peeing and shitting on the street! Like they do back in India. They basic courtesy that the West take for granted, these country baboons cannot try to emulate, but they will act out the dumb dancing & acting tough of their fool actors in their favourite nonsensical Bollywood movie. The music, especially Punjabi music (those annoying repetitive tinga tinga tinga torture that they pass for music), their dumb chole batture and all sort of BS. These morons possibly want Hindi & Punjabi to be adopted as the new national languages of the West. Being Indian myself I would reject everyone. Or do interviews that check for so many things and then only accept them. We are now universally hated! Congratulations!!

Thank God we have our border back! No more funding illegals, especially while our veterans and tax paying citizens are struggling. We’re back on the road of common sense!

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

My wife works at different hospitals traveling and the Hispanics tripled in numbers in alot of states especially small towns you not getting rid of them its to late Americans better focus on making money because our country been keeping that border open to generate money are debt is so high we need help paying it back because they kieep giving billions to Israel and the UK

India's economy has stalled. India also has the rare distinction of being a potential economic powerhouse that won't deliver for its citizens, so its citizens want to upend their lives and move abroad . . . by any means necessary, especially visa fraud - by pretending to be students and working full-time (in violation of student visa requirements), by engaging in sham marriage for sole (and unlawful) immigration benefit, just to name a few outrageous things Indians do. I'm a foreign national of Indian origin, and I support these rejections. Every sovereign country makes it owns decisions as to who is and isn't allowed to enter their country; India is no exception, given its history of refusing visas (many a times, for political reasons). Aap karo to sahi, aap par aayi to mirchi lagi? Oh, and companies abroad get Indian IT talent not because it is good, but because it is cheap (and eventually delivers projects) - big difference. If Indian IT was so dang awesome, you'd think they'd be visionaries in the field, but nope, by and large, Indians consume; they do not invent, but rather implement existing technologies, and have little to offer to the world in terms of scientific and technological breakthroughs at present - with some exceptions.

As an Indian i support rejection because mostly Filth is going abroad and those who fo being utter shame to india especially Andhra,punjab, haryana, and north indians

Deport ALL OF THEM! Especially those from Punjab and Gujarat. So much trash from those two shithole states.

Canada have the habit of listening to citizens of other countries, especially from Africa who lie and accuse their home government of a lot of BS, just to seek asylum and you let them in.\n\nMost time your government do not bother to verify asylum seekers stories. \nMany are mostly wanted in their home countries for one crime or the other.
