Imagine if 10 million Americans decided to all moved to, idk, say, Estonia, and do it in 4 years ??

You be surprised how many illegals don't report taxes or receive a tax refund ever year and that's a lot of money the government keeps in their pockets!??????

This was last year....

This was over a year ago under Biden Harris watch

This was two years ago..

And we are offering prison sentences to people helping immigrants to get here ????! Who's paying the £50000 a year to house them???? We bloody are!!!!!!! The government are just thick as s... deport deport deport!!!!!

Since large scale war is becoming increasingly likely in the next several years, purging the military now is CRAZY (whether it is due to politics, lack of support for Trump, transgender, vaccines, or whatever). If they are already trained & performing well, we should keep them.\n\nStalin made the same mistake before WW2, and it made the Soviet military much weaker in the early part of the war.\n\nBut if these people are forced to leave, i hope they all get the last laugh by getting contractor jobs for double or triple pay. ?

Nancy Pelosi with call this an insurrection and then they put all these poor people in jail for 20 years oh by the way Obama deported more illegal aliens and that Donald Trump when is first Administration did you know that you a bunch of cowardly lying hypocrites

20,000 people a year coming into Canada. The US has millions every year crossing illegally. Mexico needs to be held accountable for letting people pass through to the US

This happened for months in Germany and the government/Merkel did nothing against it. Actually it lasted years. Who arrived could stay and got money and shelter.

AM GONNA MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR DEMS TO UNDERSTAND. LGBTQ PEOPLE ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN 1 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION HOW CAN THAT 1 PERCENT GET YOU A WIN IN AN ELECTION. PEOPLE DONT WANT THIS SHIT IN THEIR LIVES AND DONT WANT THEIR KIDS LEARNING THIS IT WILL NEVER WORK. JUST PUTTING THIS ON YOUR SHOW YOU HAVE LOST MORE OF THE 99PERCENT OF THE POPULATION OF VIEWERS. THE DEMS HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED AND NOW HAVE PEOPLE RUNNING YOUR SHOW THAT SUPPORT THIS CRAP. YOUS WONT WIN ANOTHER ELECTION FOR A HUNDRED YEARS TILL YOUS GET RID OF THIS CRAP.

I'm so confused! Who is the victim? So I committed a crime and I have children, and the children were put in this situation of fear and uncertainty because it's government's fault that I committed a crime? Therefore, all those years they shut an eye letting people in illegally？ Aren't those thepeople who should share the responsibilities of causing all this painful situations???

Yes, and we are loving it, don't let the media fool you. I voted for Biden, then Trump after the worst 4 years of our life as Americans (the middle class, anyway). We don't want UNVETTED, UNFETTERED, MASS CRIMINAL IMMIGRATION WITH NO ASSIMILATION. We want controlled, vetted immigration and fair American wages.

Here’s the undeniable truth: People from Jordan are called Jordanians. People from India are called Indians. And people from Palestine are called Palestinians. Yet, the world continues to question their very existence.\n\nNow, the U.S. is telling Palestine to accept Israel’s apartheid system as if it’s a fair negotiation—when in reality, it’s a demand for surrender. Your government is offering Palestinians a mere 1% of their own land, while Palestine rightfully owns 100%. How is that justice?\n\nThe International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in 2024 that Israel’s 57-year occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank is illegal under international law. Yet, these violations continue with impunity.\n\nThis isn’t about politics. It’s about basic human rights, land theft, and the erasure of a people. The world must wake up.

The funny thing is everyone thinks that transgender just sprung up within the past 4 years. It was rendered not a mental illness decades ago. Transgenders have been throughout history; literally the first ideology of transgender is older than the bible as the bible is written on papyrus and Inanna was writen on Sumerian Clay Tablets.

My question is out of those 19 years of service. How many were served after the transition?

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

One party for 4 years has caused this mess by not follow the laws already on the books. Never again I hope

Entering a country illegal does not make you Legal, 4 years of being hunted.

The funny part is that 4 years ago, before Biden let 14 million illegal immigrants in US, US economy was one of the fastest growing in the world?‍♂️, but now all of a sudden it can't do without illegal immigrants Biden allowed in US?‍♂️...

We went through this 8 years ago! These people save lives and defend our citizens.. The new administration's silly arguments are wasting time, money, and energy (AGAIN) and it's insulting to the people who serve this country... Just another tactic to distract us

twenty years ago you couldnt enlist or get a commission as a Transgender so i wonder what sort of lies and bs he/she said to get in .... ???

These people use Trudeau's excuse as IS getting into Canada. I wish it was easy the way my family went through the eye of the needle to work with IRCC to become Canadian citizens, work and toiled to pay Taxes in this country for over 44 years! These people took a plane ride and demands to be better off than Canadian Citizens? 4:29

its like saying, a 13 year old can serve and sacrifice. There are limitations, and reasons for them. Originality.

Finally, a transgender women, who served in the military for 20 years, showed a lot of balls to talk about having to stay in the navy and military, rather than leaving the military and not join the military is not a good idea. They work hard for their service and they work hard on joining the military and fight for their country.

Pay attention USA. This will be you in a few years time if Trump gets his way.

Well her pension will become nothing. She better retire and get her 17 years worth of service before Trump messes that up. ?

CNN just can't accept they suck, Trump crushed them like the bugs they are, and just accept it, and stop trying to get people on the smallest of sentences or words where they say 1 thing wrong. Kaitlan collins specializes in asking irrelevant questions to anyone she interviews who is republican, to try and catch them out on the smallest detail she can find about absolutely anything. Whilst for 4 years the dumb democrat absolute scum of the earth party has ruined the country. CNN must be the most delusional news station to exist. I hope Trump takes action against CNN heavily in the coming years.

As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, multiple times, I completely agree with the president’s anti-trans policy in the military. Soldiers have a hard enough job as it is much less stacking on some DEI nonsense. That’s only gonna take time away from their training and ultimately DEI is going to 100% negatively affect the mission and their safety. Of personally over a 10 year period served with a couple gay and lesbian Service members and never once was what they did in the privacy of their own bedroom ever an issue or counter to the mission but this new age woke DEI nonsense is completely counterproductive, dangerous, And disrespectful to the non-DEI service members. The simple act of picking an unqualified, military leader, who’s responsible for the care and lives solely on the gender, ethnicity, religion, or pronoun, and not on merit, experience, competency, or any of the other real requirements for a military leader is literally the most irresponsible, dangerous, and disrespectful thing you can do to the men and women who have literally dedicated their life for years in service of our country! There’s absolutely no excuse on this planet that would make it ok. Being a service member in combat is already the most stressful job on the planet, but to make them take their focus off of the immediate threat to focus on political correctness or someone’s magical mystery pronoun while trying to prioritize and mitigate threats and combat is the most asinine and literally dangerous Nonsense I’ve ever heard!??????

Gay people don’t need years of surgeries and medications that make them ineffective and non-deployable. We don’t let with adhd join at all, because they might have to take a pill everyday… how can we allow someone to join and immediately become a human paperweight for 18 mon

The man been in the military for 19 1/2 years, he joined as a man and now he has a problem because he can’t look like a woman

He joined the Navy as a man.. 20 years later, still a man pretending to be a woman.

Pull this crap, years old

The military was infiltrated you think we have this 20 years ago 50 years ago 100 years ago no we did not.

In America the need for them has diminished by over 600,00 jobs lost in the last two years. More job losses in their chosen fields are coming too. I confess not suffering through the entire presentation but 2025 is bringing a lot of unemployed technical people from entry-level to senior positions in America. It would be great if everybody had a very good job but those days are over for a while. The usual human activity of debt and destruction accumulates to the point where too many people run out of money and the economies run out of steam.

UNSUBBED YEARS AGO WHY HASNT CNN BEEN BOY COTTED YET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The media just can’t help itself…it has to lie…using a 10 year old survey by UCLA for the “15,000 transgenders” number when a more recent study done in 2021 shows only 1900 individuals received any care related to being transgender through the DOD and a January 2024 estimate by the RAND Corporation estimated 1320 to 6630 transgenders serving. And the overwhelming Amorite are support roles, not combat or front line. And yes, I’m a veteran.

And let me be very clear let the Republicans and the Republican party family members friends and loved ones let them strap up their boots and weapons and go fight and protect us what we have been doing for hundreds of years losing our families fathers and mothers cousins and uncles to protect these white supremacists and these people don't care nothing about us it's time to wake up my brothers and sisters and see the light resigned quit your jobs right now before it's too late it's time to wake up and see the light people let them send a white privilege Elon musk and all of these billionaires and their family on the front line

Recruitment hot rock bottom when the military went all in on WOKE. We trained WOKE warriors for the past several years. End this nonsense.

2 million in a week!! This just shows you on the numbers that have more than likely crossed over the last 4 years

The huge mistake of 4 years of Biden's era. Today this sad story must end. People who voted for President Donald Trump must understand the thoughts of the president and those who are on duty on the southern border. There is no division or separation here, but national security must be put first

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

And American is now awake! Thanks Trump…finally people realize who just ran this country into the ground for the past four years!!!!!!!!

They need to apply before they can get into the Unit States. We waited for five years. It wouldn't be fair for those people who are still waiting to get in.

Ha I got one for you a company has 4 East Indian non related immigrant employees about 2 years now and suddenly they all leave to go back to India but as a vacation for 8 weeks. Sounds crazy they are truck drivers …. Wait is this another catch 22 and they know the flaws in the system and will be back on another work visa? Yup…oh Canada your screwed

This is why I felt that the U.S. should have forced Maduro out last year. Even if we can keep Venezuelans out, they will destabilize our neighbors.

Surprised me to see CNN covering this after they lied to the American People for years ?? saying that their wasn't a problem at the border

This is not current. Comments on this go back to over a year ago.

These people, once here, will get welfare, food stamps, medical for free.. and have been for over at least 20 years

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