Emily, why are you mad? Why would you want to serve this country? Y'all getting banned is a Victory for the Trans Community. You no longer have to fight for a country where the majority of the population hates you

And I'm sure with some people coming across the border. There may be a sense of entitlement, but I would think for the majority, it's a sense of hope.\n I wish we could embrace every person. That is good coming across that border with open arms and tell them Hey, it's gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay for you and your family. But unfortunately we can't. It's a hard pill to swallow and it's a final thing to watch. People have to struggle that world is a very cruel place for some. And for others it could be very easy in a sense. I think sometimes we have to have empathy for other people. And if we don't have that we're never gonna grow as a human race. Color should never, ever be a barrier. Language should never be a barrier. The only barrier that we have is hatred and just evil people and good. That is, the barrier that we should be looking at if we ever want to grow into what God created us to be eyes need to be opened. These people aren't coming over here and take what we have. You're coming over here because they want something better for their lives. They have struggled most other lives. I'm sure they have seen death. Famine pestilence, things that we have never seen in this country. Our generation.\n S are spoiled when it comes to things like that. We have to open our eyes a little further broaden. Our horizons and take a look at the situation at hand and not be objective. Be like the men of old and what they were put on this Earth to do is solve problems. That's what men are good for solving problems. And that's what the men of this manner should solve the problems. Use your heads think we can find a solution.

Why would anybody want to live in Trump's fascist police state?

That’s why, I left Canada in 2018. No disrespect to Indians, but if want to live among Indians, I would rather go straight to India and enjoy good weather, rather than going to cold Canada.

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

This brings so much joy to see all these would b illegals throwing adult temper tantrums becuz they cannot enter my country Illegally n collect a free financial ride. They r swarming n panicking like a bunch of rats they r. Trump warned them not to come n now they must turn around and come back the right way. Look at the way they r carrying on. Are these the type of people u want in our country

Canada is like an over priced 3 star hotel ?‍♂️ from rent, groceries, car insurance, and cold 7-8 months out of the year . Everything has just gone down hill health care , schools , over priced homes . Import the 3 world become the 3 world Canada relies on immigration with out it no one would want to live here. If you travel you realize there are better countries to live in other than Canada . This country is over hyped cars are being stolen. It’s just insane

That is so defiant why would you want people to like that that act like that to come over can you imagine what they will be like in America they are out of control that is scary

It is sooooo weird those creatures would want to openetrate an other country....why\nWhat do they want?\nWhat do they think they will get....besides even more misery\nSo delusional

yeah why would we say he wants to put people in camps. insane how trump supporters support this.

Good ole Ignorance. ? The BASE of the Republican Party. This ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED IF THE LYING REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WOULD HAVE SIGNED THE BORDER BILL !!! What kind of Suckers believe a PARTY that just LIES to them EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK. ? Republicans can say ANYTHING THEY WANT about a video, but REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE THE REASON THIS IS HAPPENING !!! They are LYING to your FACES PEOPLE. WAKE UP OR THEY’RE ABOUT TO STEAL EVERYTHING FROM YOU REPUBLICAN VOTERS !! You’ve ALL been WARNED !! Your Republican Lawmakers are about to DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND ROB ALL THE GOLD IN FORT KNOX !!! Among other things !!!

I think it depends on the individual . I'm no expert, but if a man or woman is fit to serve, and wants to serve, why limit yourself to just men ? If there were a draft, would you want your son serve because he was made to, or would you want someone that signed up because it's their dream to serve? I'd serve with Cmd. Shilling, over any maga so called normal person.

I wish the Dems would realize that illegal entry cannot stand. Trump needs to make a decree that makes it impossible to get anything from any level of government. That would stop the flow immediately. Most of these aren't people working toward a goal, they just want to escape their impoverished country. Stay in your own countries, stop voting in Socialists, and make your governments responsive to the common good. You can have what America represents to you with some work.

What does someone's genitals have to do with their ability to serve? Both men & women are able to serve. Why are trans people considered less than human? \n\nI don't understand why anyone would want to change their sex. It makes no sense to me. It's also not my business to judge any other person. They're not breaking the law or hurting anyone.

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)

People living in the US are in fear? Perahps the ones who have had foreign tourists come into their communities and never leave. I would not want a stranger shoving his way into my house and moving in either. What a horrible violation.

If they don’t want to be criminals then they should wait in line and go through the legal process. Jumping the fence and line, breaking into a country is called a criminal. If someone breaks into your house, it would be trespassing, which is a crime. Making that trespasser a criminal.

Seems like we would want to anyone who wants to serve their country. Unlike the current president who did NOT want to serve his country. And DEI and all of the other MAGA boogeyman concerns are miniscule. They are making a mountain out of molehill.

If anyone has seen a trans person who is going through any psychological stress or issues, you know that they can be some of the most viable and erratic people. You certainly would not want to give them an M4 rifle or anything of the sort. the fact is, they were given a slew of dangerous chemicals to try and let their bodies mimic being another gender. But they never were another gender and their psyche starts to scream out against themselves.

Why would he want to be a woman?

Transgenders qualification are not the issue, society is. I don't see Trump views are going to change any time soon. Why would you stay where you're not wanted? If the Military doesn't want you and your talents, find another career where you will be TRULY VALUED.

I guarantee most people have met a transgender and didn't even know it. I took a course at work and both instructors had transition from female to male. You would never know unless they told you. Im not sure why people want to fight people being who they want to be. They don't impact anyone eles and just want to live their lives. Stupid how Republicans have made this an issue. What about guns that are killing people every day?? What a waste of time going after trans people like they are killing people or something.

Why would America want delusional people in the military?

If a man takes estrogen and testosterone blockers to become a woman, he literally becomes weaker and may not be able to pass the fitness standards. Why would we support doing something that makes a service member weaker. However, if trans men want to take a lot of testosterone shots and become as strong as natural men, I’d say that’s a win.

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.

We are born with our sex, nothing can change that except in their minds! Im former military and I would not want a trans guy in my bunk, or shower area!!!!!!

Our military has enough problems.Why would they want this one???? Seems like everybody just wants to make the world more complicated.....

If you deny the gender you were born as you need to seek mental care. IMHO you are not fit to serve. Unfortunately we have brainwashed these unfortunate souls. They are so confused they are not capable of defending our great nation. I would not want to be rooming with one of these individuals.

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!!!

Why would u want ppl who go a week without hormone treatments going into mental meltdown around a bunch of Weapons and Ammo and shyt ..... ?

Omg . Why would they want to serve our country.. We are an embarrassment right now. And it's between her and God how she lives here life . God bless her and everyone else who risked their lives.

This is a matter of our military not doing their part in conducting proper mental health sceenings. How can someone with a psychological disorder be allowed to serve? When I was at MEPS, I was denied my request to be an MP because of a low credit score, and yet we have individuals in service that are not mentally fit. I do not wish any of them ill will. But just like most can agree, they wouldn't want a racist cop. We would not want someone who could snap while they are being depended on in a critical situation. This is evident as the left likes to point out the high suicide rate with transgender and homosexual individuals

On one hand i get it from a mentally fit state. One the other hand if a trans wants to die for his or her country why prevent em. Never understood why whites were so against blacks joining the army as well. When it would mean less white soldiers being killed.

Why would I want someone who’s mentally unstable enough to think they’re not their biological gender, who’s also undergoing hormone treatment to carry a weapon next to me in service to my country?

I think this transgender issue is terrible and sad. On the other hand I would like to ask this transgender women, why you want to fight or give your life to a country who hates you? This country does not deserves your dedication and sacrifice. I wish you all the luck of the world.

As much as the repubiklans hate this 1% of the population, you would think they would want them to be killed ?

Finally found something I agree with Crenshaw on. Shilling is a great example of why Trans have to go - I would never want to serve with a dude like this and neither it seems, would 99% of the rest of America’s potential fighting force. He’s a recruitment killer.

I wonder who paid for her transition? oh wait that would be our tax dollars! People wanting to be in military are being rejected for various health issues. Can't go to battle on the front line in some other Country when you require medication on a regular basis, it may not be available for weeks or even months. So do we pull people off the battle field and send them home because for whatever reason they can't get their meds? That's why it isn't acceptable

Why would u want someone confused on who they are in command of a unit? That does not inspire confidence, no matter how confident they may be.

We don't want you here. Why would you wanna come to the US when you know you're not wanted.

Why would they want to come here where they’re hated.

It's sad that this Earth is like this. We all would do better to repent of our sins except the sacrifice of Jesus. Keep His commandments Love God with all our heart mind soul and strength, love our neighbors as ourselves and treat others as we would want to be treated. Be water baptized and receive His Holy Spirit. The world would be a better place then we wouldn't have to fight over borders or housing or money instead we'd all be working together.

So let me get this straight you've destroyed your own country's economy but now you want to come here and you are all supposed to do these great big wonderful things??? Yeah right the only thing that these people will do is work on ruining our economy next and if you haven't noticed lately our economy is bad enough without letting these clowns have a crack at it. Everybody down the list all of them that voted for Biden are responsible for this mess Joe Biden and all of his followers should be ashamed of themselves which is why he wanted to pardon all of his people because personally if I was the president everyone that helped that man do this would be held accountable

Wth, why would they want to be here! Our freedom is in jeopardy! ?

The libs cry that we are heartless when we say close the borders ? ? I have one thing to say to them......... Go to their country and try to force your way in, without being properly vetted and see how far you get!! I promise you, the US is a lot more merciful than any other country would be towards people trying to force their way in, or sneak in!!!!! You would be pew pewd on the spot or thrown in a prison you don't want to be in. And that's after they torture you. America has been weak, when it comes to illegals. And they see that. If you still think we are wrong for closing the border, to protect our country, you need to pack up and leave.... We do not know a thing about this people coming across, and you wouldn't let some stranger into your home, without first knowing who they are and what their reason is for coming in!! We need to be this way at every port of entry into this country.

If they don't want tariffs, they need to take their own people back. Would they prefer Rwanda?

This ain’t good!!\nAs an American citizen that’s pays taxes I hornslty feel so bad for these people \nYet I would say the democrats r pure evil for allowing this happen and instigating this to occur- they wanted more iligals for more votes and u see this occur \nDemocrats should be dragged to the border and forced to watch the fruit of their policies \nYet I’m sure they r in Ghana or so where abroad

These are human beings. Mostly hard-working human beings. Humans that would cherish a life in this country so much, they will do nothing wrong to protect that opportunity. There are plenty of people we shouldn’t be deporting. Unfortunately, most our US citizens. Thugs sucking away American taxpayerseither in prison or on welfare staying home eating buckets of chicken while collecting a check because they don’t want to go to work.

Can we not talk about how enormously expensive these military flights are compared to civilian charter flights? Can we talk about how Trump likely knew Colombia would protest a US military plane just doing whatever it wants in its airspace?? Do your damn job!!!

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.
