Why do they think they are entitled to push their way through our borders? We have a finite amount of resources and the number of homeless Americans are growing. We can’t support the world’s population so the number of people we let into the country has to be controlled. I hope the current administration can clean up the chaos caused by the previous administration.

They will over run Americans the same way...they think Americans are stupid.

Need to send more troops, these folks think we can support them and we can’t , we have homeless veterans living on our streets, not only other homeless families because of severe weather damage trying desperately to get help, sorry but AMERICANS first !

Better carry your paperwork on you if you have dark skin before name, you might find yourself being rounded up. One man was already picked up at a restaurant at work. He had a green card legally allowed to be here. Didn’t stop them from dragging away think about being held for 8 to 12 hours Being legally allowed to be here or being an American citizen and your family not knowing where you’re at the last time Donald Trump was in office. American citizens were deported south of the border and two were shot in the living room. One gentleman was deported an American citizen who had diabetes. They deported him yet no medication on him no money to country. He didn’t know he died on the streets. Please stop thinking it can’t happen to you Donald Trump right now is rounding up American Indians Navajo and Saint American citizens it’s time to call your son your senators your governors. It’s time to speak out. Stop standing there, thinking it won’t happen to you.

You’d think they’d be running the other way and it’d be like the south park episode with border agents patrolling for Americans trying to flee to Mexico the way the left paints it. Still curious why try to flood in now when it’s less likely you can hang around mooch off the taxpayers very long?

If CNN thinks it can survive now that the White House is opening its doors to more pod casters and YouTubers then it’s dead wrong. Very fake news, if a Democrat isn’t in office then they automatically go into defense mode. I support this, and majority of Americans do, Trump won.

You'd think right-wing Americans would be grateful there's still people willing to put their lives on the line for the country

If these immigrants do not recognize and respect our border laws, what makes you think they will honor or follow any other law in America. Wake-up! My Lord, have the American people in sanctuary cities lost their minds. What will it take for you to acknowledge this is a dangerous invasion! Nothing good can come from breaking US laws from the get go.

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 !

Your average soldier is not going to respect a leader or want to follow a leader who used to be a man and is now a woman and Vice, versa! I agree with Trump and Crenshaw even though I don't Crenshaw. There is no room in the military for this BS. I served 10 years and this BS is nothing more than a huge distraction. You have people who were going in just to get the operations. They spend 4 years in the military changing gender on tax payers dime. Out of the whole 4 years they may be deployable for about 6 months and that ain't all at the same time. When I was in this stuff was not an issue! They were not allowed to join and neither were gays.\n\n Think about it everyone is so bent out of shape over sexual assault well if you take a couple of gay guys and put them in an infantry unit they are going to look at all those men the same way a straight guy would look at all the girls if he was dropped off in an all girls collage. Nothing but problems and issues the military doesn't need!!! Seen it first hand back then when it was not allowed. Incase no one noticed military recruitment is down to dangerous levels! Doesn't anyone wonder why??? This post is why. No one wants to be part of a wishy washy military. It's to easy to get hurt or killed when things are running normal! Throw all the gay and trans BS in there and it just F**ks up everything!\n\nSo for 4 years they are almost always on lite duty, they are getting paid and getting the operations then at the end of their enlistment they walk out of the military the opposite sex they came in with and the American taxpayer is hundreds of thousands of dollars down for every one of these fools!!! This is what the democrats did!!! Join the Army and change your sex on us!!!\nNo place in the military for these fools. I feel that anyone who wants to change their sex is mentally ill!!! I have no desire to change into a woman and if I did I would think something was wrong with me and go get help!!!

THIS is why NONE of their country's are worth a PILE OF _ _ _ _,, NONE OF THEM think that their countries are even worth staying and FIXING.\n\n This is WHY they could NEVER be TRUE AMERICANS ... they haven't any BACKBONE to even fix their own country.

Wow Trump isletting us see the truth finally.mow maybe more Americans with Wakeup! Just look and hear them.look what \n JOE Biden' cabin has done to (these) people just think they were stull coming y'all. Thos is fear.....?

If Americans can’t get free money housing why do illegals think they can!!

Nope. Turn around don't drown. Seriously? Why do they think this behavior is OK for most Americans. Find somewhere else. There's Canada and Europe. Find help there. Our shelters and our patients is full and worn thin. You let all the bad eggs in Mexico. You keep these people ?

As far as healthcare goes the US is a 3rd world country, where, only the rich can afford to see a doctor, or visit a hospital. You have thousands of people living on the streets, with NO help, or concern. America is no different than Bangladesh, or Ethiopia, for having a part of your society living on the street, begging for food, or money. When the US starts caring for ALL of it's people, regardless of skin color, race, or background, and give them a hand up, like most CIVILIZED societies do, you'll always be a 3rd world country. America had a chance to elect a president that would have turned America into a first world power with Kamala Harris, and Tim Waiz, but, you blew it, you re-elected the worst president, EVER with trump, who will finish the job of ruining America, and make it totally poverty-stricken. WOW, you'd think Americans are all millionaires, the way they turned out, for trump! Did NONE of you listen to what Kamala was offering? Because this half blind, mostly deaf old Canadian heard every word, her promise of a bottom-up building more opportunities for poor, and working class families, new taxes on the rich, and corporations to pay for it. Kamala offered a GREAT deal, a more secure future, more OPPORTUNITIES,,,,, And you all turned her down. You voted for a stalker and rapist, a traitor, and criminal, with multiple convictions, a liar, and cheat, trump. I guess you get what you deserve.

1- , 2 Colombian planes just arrived in the USA to take its deported citizens\n\n2- Venezuela doesn't allow deported Venezuelans from ANY country, NOT ONLY USA, a couple of S. American countries already tried\n\n3- If imported goods from Colombia become too expensive, then, that will benefit other countries like Ecuador and Peru that have the same type of goods that are imported from Colombia.. like coffee, flowers, tropical fruits, etc.\nAnd for those, like AOC, who think that they can't live without their Colombia coffee... well, they haven't tried Peruvian coffee, which is now considered among the best in the world \n\n4- The main reason why the Colombian government gave in to Trump's demands was not only bcz the tariffs but the fact that Trump threatened them with deporting and canceling all visas for all Colombian government members and their relatives........

I used to think it was all a bit exaggerated \nI’m not American and don’t overly care\n\nBut it does seem like Donald Trump is losing his mind and it would appear he’s dismantling the north American empire \n\nand as someone who’s never liked America’s supremacy, it should please me\nDunno why, but it doesn’t. It’s not because people got wise and evolved.\nIt’s like they’re devolving. Idk what’s going on.

Perfect example of sheer ignorance!!!!!!! Hello lady… you are NOT American!!!!! Just a Mexican w/a green card… What makes you think you are safe/exempted from deportation. Continue to speak with confidence until ICE comes for you… To mock families & friends with smug gloat is HEARTLESS!!!!!!

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

I wonder what they'd think if americans came to their country and they had to take care of us if the roles were reversed. i'm sure they'd want to secure the border too

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

Stop whitewashing your wording. They are not undocumented migrants. They are illegal immigrants! I'm sorry that words hurt you guys and possibly the majority of your viewers but that's the truth! If someone wants to come here, I have no problem with that nor do the majority of Americans. This is an amazing nation. However, there are many legal ways to do it. I've served with several fellow Marines that did it the right (legal) way. And let's not forget, it's not only people from Central and South America that are pouring across that southern border. We've caught countless people on the terrorist watch list including people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the like pouring across the border because they know how easy it is. Everyone is just mad because we finally have leadership that is doing something about it. And apparently, the libtards are either simply naive enough to think bad people would not come across the border and all those caravans are full of innocent women and children or they are trying to bring about the downfall and collapse of the United States. This is all simply ridiculous!

This fits Trump's narrative too well. CNN coverage has changed since ownership switched hands. We knew it would be gradual perceptive switch but it has indeed fallen from the standards of the past. Closer to a fox for the next caste up. You only know what you are shown. You work the same job and see the same people. If you watch the same news outlets you are exposing yourself to information crafted from the same perspective. My world is small vs reality and yours is too. Think about the decades of Americans trying to keep them out, investing money in walls and barriers and wire when we could have helped stabilize these countries to where these guys wouldn't feel like they HAD to come here to live with dignity. All To be treated like this. We have had decades to fix the problem acknowledge the root problem, but we spend our tax money, time, and efforts reapplying bandaids and barriers at the border.

You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

*The problem is that Trump never thinks anything through. You can’t just deport thousands of migrant workers who fulfill important jobs that Americans don’t want…jobs such as farming, agriculture, meats and poultry and other service jobs. I have a huge problem with indiscriminate deportation. There should be selective deportation, the illegals who are committing crimes…yes deport them. Most undocumented workers aren’t committing crimes, they commit crimes at a lesser rate than Americans. We need the hardworking migrants to support our economy. The prices of eggs are already high enough, this will only contribute to higher prices as many critical jobs will remain unfilled. This is another dumb move by Trump to give Americans the facade that he’s cleaning up the country.*

its funny that americans think that 25% tax is going to be paid by the exporting country hahaha..25% more tax when you buy those goods..your president is ripping you off ahaha

Bro is acting like Tariffs don't absolutely screw over Americans... Just think this is a single week into this nightmare and we have 4 more years of idiocy. I genuinely hope it leads to a revolution.

lol Americans are so uneducated and think the tariffs are going to help them reduce the cost of goods ??????

The fact that u have people on here thinking that trump won just goes to show the stupidity. The reason why Colombia refused the planes was because they were on military planes never in history America has ever used military planes to deport people they put them on regular planes. And who u think is going to pay for the tariffs American consumers people and meanwhile Colombia put a 50% tariffs on America. U have some Americans so deep in the cult that they can’t see that this crap is going to make it bad for the economy right now u have eggs at $9 and this clown have only been in office for a week.

Americans are the most erigant idiots in this world. to think that you can just insult all countries and not pay a price for that is foolish, but then again look at who you elected, and the world will make you pay. the price of eggs is nothing compared to whats coming. Buckle up Morons.

Us Americans always think were untouchable! such arrogance is dangerous, we need the world more than the world needs us, were only 4.22% of the worlds population and only 6% of the wrolds land mass, BRICS is only getting stronger and is going away from the Dollar, do your research people, what good is producing products if the rest of the world doesn't want to buy them... lets treat humans as humans not like animals lets show some respect!

This orange idiot is determined to ruin the lives of all Americans, not make them better. Republicans elected a selfish conceited idiot into the office of President and this is only the beginning. If you think last week was crazy, wait until this week is over with Pete Hegseth in charge of the Department of Defense.

Don’t come to this country thinking the grass will be greener. You all will suffer here and treated like crap. The American dream has become the worse nightmare even for citizens of the country. Many homeless and mentally ill people that get no assistance plus crime everywhere. Don’t waste your lives here.

His plan to tariff every country is well underway. If anyone that voted for him thinks that any of this will translate into lowered prices for Americans,…which is why many voted for him,….they are in for a rude awakening.

I would ordinarily be defending the USA. But this is Trump. And it’s being pushed without setting it up. They want to know what is going on. Naturally ! But Trump doesn’t think anyone or any Government can oppose him. The South American countries are dog walking our corrupt Leader. He’s a disgrace to America

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

Can you guys report that this was a loss for Trump because the Colombian president said that he has no problem putting a tariff right back onto us. And then got his way by having the Colombians deported in a more humane way. Maga, it’s going to think this is a victory when it’s not and really, it’s just hurting the American people.

Colombia does not have to accept these migrants legal or otherwise..trump thinks he can do something and everyone will comply...well the President of Colombia put a stop to that and all the tariffs that Trump puts on Colombia will hurt the american public more than anyone else..four yrs from now America will be in an economic disaster..

They think all Americans have money trees growing in our backyards.

This is bullshit!!! I'm tired of other countries thinking all Americans are rich and that we deserve to be taken advantage of. It's simply not true and it's not right!!

Who the fuck does Trump think he is?I hope every Sth American country tells him to fuck off.Whats he going to do.Take on the world?

I think we Americans can boycott bananas and tropical fruits for a while... Plus other countries have coffee.I know hawaii does too...

What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

These countries are so used to paying off DC to screw Americans over they think they have the upper hand

It really sucks to see an american president stand up for its own country.! This channel sucks balls! I think I will go watch spongebob. ???

President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do on the campaign trail. The majority of Americans are thrilled. This is what the majority voted for. One would think a non biased media ownership would have gotten the message? I guess once you have dug your own grave deep enough there is no climbing out for CNN. What a shame!

My goodness I hope that the president of the united state of America thinks his next big idea better then something like other countries just denying the Americans to land in there countries!!!!

I think you mean, Trump hits American companies who import goods from Columbia with tariffs so they can pass those costs down to American consumers. REPORT THE NEWS CORRECTLY or don't report it at all, ffs. Smh

All of this is going to hurt Americans more than the countries he thinks he's punishing. What an idiot.

He is an IDIOT! Could someone tell him that tariffs cost Americans!!!\nIt doesn't affect the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing.\n\nCOUNTRIES ARE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR ANERICANS TO LIVE!\n\nTrump thinks he's being a tough guy. Wow 25% up to 50% against the countries. WRONG STABLE GENIUS WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAY THAT 25% TARIFFS.\n\nCan someone send him a book explaining who actually pay tariffs!!!!
