Every generation will have a very different life if they grew up in any metropolitan place. My grandfather came to Vancouver 1896. His family of five lived in garages while he built houses. No communication with the outside world. My father went to war in 1940's and experience things many will never see. He worked in Vancouver his whole life. My generation saw the first home computer, cell phone and color TV. and the internet was born. I was always taught hystory in school. My kids tell me , they don't know how people lived the last 100 years other than first nations people, and historical figures. Its not taught. They have no idea how people struggled to survive. My kids and their friends are fascinated by the pictures I have from the past 120 years in Vancouver. People now want everything. They are not willing to sacrifice life style. Even my own kids feel this way. Luckily i taught good values and work ethics to my 3 daughters , so they are very successful.

Why do these people think we have a open door to our country ?? This is ridiculous. And I dont want to hear from your liberal fucktards about “ everyone in America is an immigrant”. No , I’m not. I was born here. I didn’t come from somewhere else, neither did millions of others. You want to come that’s great, do the paperwork , get legal and pay the taxes. It’s really that simple.

You were born as a man and feel comfortable being a woman, it's the same as lying to yourself since birth, my friend. And you are a soldier, this is really crazy, I am a man and feel weird. WTF DUDE..

anyone who is messed up in the head enough to think they are a different gender to what they were born as is not sound of mind! and should not be in a powerful position, how the hell did he pass a phycology test if he thinks he is a woman???

WHAT ABOUT THEM WHITE PEOPLE THAT'S IN U.S.A THAT WASNT BORN N RAISED IN U.S.A CUZ TRUST ME THERE IS SOME WHITE PEOPLE THATS. WASN'T BORN IN U.S.A

Now let's pray AMERICAN BORN citizens can get the jobs these people have been taken for years

Trump is targeted all illegal immigrants it makes no difficulty on Africa Jamaica if you illegal you got the go I am black but I'm America black if I was illegal I would be hit to go to but I got a Social Security number I worked in United States on my line and I'm born here in legal I want people can't seem to get that you can't come here illegally from another country looking for a better life but you going to do it illegally you're going to look for a better life illegally How can you look for a better life illegally

Cry about it and get your papers I’m so tired of illegals thinking they have the right to break the law and think they have the same rights as US legal or us born citizens it don’t work that way better yet go make your country great ?‍♂️

ALL you Black people are also trespassing your only here because your people were brought to be slaves so don't be saying your here because you actually belong here. Don't even start because your people dont have papers so technically your don't either doesn't matter if you were born here your still trespassing so you got to go as well.

They were born too late. That’s all the fact. ? not lucky.

To all born African Americans or the one their fathers was slaved \n????Believe me, don't let them catch you or you gonna go back to africa as a mistaken of identity this happens often and Believe it, and this time, you gonna go back with the same chains you come with ???????

God created two genders, male and female, not transsexual. Any military that is filled with people perverse to the way God created them, is not a military blessed by God, and a military not blessed by God is a dangerously weak failure. This fallen world is our TEMPORARY HOME separated from God for a short time because of sin. Read the entire Holy Bible for yourself and the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ for yourself in the Holy Bible. Our eternal salvation is what matters. THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS) OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR --\n\n Jesus Christ came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation, and He lived on earth with us for over three decades, and He taught us about God and His eternal heavenly kingdom and repentance and how to live righteously and He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He gave His sinless life to ALL people from ALL nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to take the punishment for our sins for us so that justice was served, to defeat eternal death for us to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead to defeat death for us, He lived on earth for forty more days, speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven, and He is coming back again at the end of this world to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom, for all people who believe this and repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God.

While I want full immigration enforcement on all illegal immigrants, I also want to mention that immigrants who honorably served in the US military should be treated as if they were legally born on US soil. So I hope they don't mix those 2 together because there's a big big difference between those 2.

So long ! Us black Americans stand by this too if you aren’t born here we don’t share the same sentiments time to go

you know what this means, anyone dark will be stopped to be questioned. And then after that the Asians and after that anyone who looks Russian. So basically you better have proper ID on you even if you are natural born citizen.

I’m a black American born here mom, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother born in the US. Been here since the 1800’s \n\nI’m excited those people feel more entitled than Americans. Zero respect for white or black Americans. Yassssssss trump. I have only voted 3 times in my life all FOR TRUMP!!!\n\nByeeeee ✌️ ? ?

She’s a liar she crossed the border like everyone else did she didn’t do it the right way and really the way she’s acting im pretty certain she was born in the United States but still she has a black heart ?

American citizens who don't know what the word illegal mean than they need to be deported along side the illegal immigrants regardless of their natural born citizens or not America is better off without these dumb azz

repatriation drives,” a series of informal raids that took place around the United States during the Great Depression. Local governments and officials deported up to 1.8 million people to Mexico, according to research conducted by former California State Senator Joseph Dunn, who in 2004 investigated the deportations under President Herbert Hoover. Dunn estimates around 60 percent of these people were actually American citizens, many of them born in the United States to first-generation immigrants.\n\nU.S. Immigration Before 1965\n\n\n?? ? ? \nThe logic behind these raids was that Mexican immigrants were supposedly using resources and working jobs that should go to white Americans

They’re more fit for it than me. I was born a woman, still a woman, and I can promise you I wouldn’t set foot in the military bc I don’t trust the people running it. I don’t fully trust the govt. I appreciate ANYONE willing to be more brave than the rest of us in order to protect us. I think I’m going to thank them for their service & pray God is loving on them too. Bc contrary to what comments say- God loves them just the way they are.

If you can’t accept the way you were born then you probably can never accept the Truth…..

Stop arguing she was born with a penis and that's the fact.

CHEECH AND CHONG. BORN IN E.L.A.

This person was born a man and tried to change to a women. HE should be able to do what he wants in his personal life but not in the military. To actually go out and try to force your body to change to a women from man is not normal.

Born a boy, always a boy, period.

While I don’t agree with anyone entering the US illegally, those that are saying “fix your own country” is easier said than done, my response to that is “why don’t you fix the things you hate or complain about throughout your life”? Don’t worry I’ll wait ?\n\nA lot of these people are broke, have little to no education (partly because they were broke), and can barely make money to feed themselves. None of us get to write a wishlist as to where we are born or who our parents are. This is just part of an unfortunate circumstance. \n\nNow if you’re a criminal and want to commit crimes in the US, you don’t deserve anything in life.

I do not believe any trans gender should be in the military do to their real sex gender. If you are a woman n change your looks to be a man how can you protect another troop? You do not have the strength that a REAL MAN born a man has a woman cannot over power another man. Its ridiculous to think you can be what you were not born. You were born 1 gender EXCEPT it not change it.

There is no question anyone can be qualified to serve. My problem has to do with a society that feels entitled enough to fix nature’s alleged “mistakes”. There is no such thing as being born in the wrong body. That is a social invention. There always were effeminate men and masculine women. However, today we feel entitled to push the envelope because some plastic surgeons can make a decent looking pair of boobs but at the end of the day these gender transitions are social and medical experiments. A man who thinks he is a woman is like an anorexic woman who thinks she is fat. It is a mental disorder and should be treated as such. Offering gender affirming surgery to a person is like offering liposuction to someone suffering from anorexia. It is feeding a delusion. Our society is very sick and delusional.

I have many my stories I would like to tell you. Born in Toronto lived in Calgary and Vancouver

Man made lines don't mean anything we all born on this plant we should all share it if u brake a law in the area the ya jail but come on this is why we have so much problems it's all about control or our spiece

If you are sick enough to not know whether you were born with a penis or vagina than you have no business around weapons. Simple as that.

if u are born a woman if your born a man yer aan

Sorry, but allowing Trans people to serve does nothing for readiness or the Country. In fact the cost associated with making them acceptable by the BS training and complaints really isn't worth it. They account for .03% of the military, which comes out to be roughly 3900 people out of 1.3 million active duty. I keep hearing it would take 10 years to get back to operation readiness afforded by trans contributions? REALLY? Are you telling me that those 3900 are the backbone of military? Personally, I have nothing against these people and Shilling can still serve but as his born sex.

I was born in Canada. My parents immigrated here for a better life. I' now 38 with a great career, but I'm still single and I've all but given up on achieving the life I worked so hard for. Canada is no longer a land of freedom and opportunity.

am a transgender woman born hermaphrodites and the comments made me cry of hope because of all the support.

hormone replacement is not minor and the side effects are life long, nobody transitions, they are all mixed up. not having a balance with the gender your born with is a serious issue

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

I feel ashamed that CNN and Kaitlan Collins agreed to cover/advocate for it. *_THIS IS DISINFORMATION_*. \nTrump has fixed female sport. Trump is fixing sexual predators using female bathrooms and this also is a FIX. Period.\n\nIf the deaf and the handicapped don't complain about their military application being rejected, neither should some ADHD who have a mental incapacity to accept the gender they were born with, because they will stir commotion in a place where order is required.

Furthermore: experts estimate that up to 1.7 percent of the population are born with intersex traits.

If cows born with a virgin AND a penis its a STEER lets gets this clear it happen a lot on the farms

THIS PERSON WAS BORN A BOY HE IS STILL A BOY PERIOD

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!!!!!!

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.

What to do To be saved \nRomans 10:9-13\n9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.\n11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.\n12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.\n13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.\nJohn 3:5\n“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”\nJohn 3:16-17\n16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. \n17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\nJohn 9:31\n31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.\nActs 8:36-37\n36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? \n37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.\nActs 15:7-11\n7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. \n8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; \n9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. \n10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?\n11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.\nActs 16:31\n“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” \n1 John 1:9 \n9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.\n1 John 5:6,8\n6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. \n8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.\nRomans 6:23\n23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\nJude 1:23-25\n23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.\n24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,\n25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.\nRevelation 3:20\n“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” \n\n@jesuschristsaves392\n?“Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen\n\nWedding clothes\nhttps://youtu.be/f2Yx6PDBIpU?si=lLjrNdk-mgj1gfXf

You are not a woman, why can’t you serve as a man which you were born.

I don’t think this is political this is a moral issue and somebody has to put a stop to it. Why do you wanna be a dude if you’re born a female? You can still serve this country in the gender God gave you.

Yeah, uh, this WOKE nonsense is out of hand. It was getting to a point of no return. It is one of the reasons why he was elected. It will NEVER matter the makeup or what body parts are cut off. You were born a boy or girl. The end!

Just because people are born different, does not mean that they cannot be productive members of society, for we are all God‘s children, and individuals will always strive to be the best at what they do, regardless of sexual orientation.\nIt’s just another form of discrimination and in the future bigotry and all forms of discrimination have no place in society today or in the foreseeable future, we must all work to get along with each other and love one another as God intended his children to do so, and remember Jesus and all the angels in the heaven Also tells us that we should love one another for we are all brothers and sisters, just because someone is born different or with a handicap or a disability they still have the ability to contribute to society in a positive way.

It was above what all other women were doing because it's a MALE !! Put your metals against other MEN and it doesn't look as top tier as it would be against the same sex she was when she was born

Navy commander you were born a man i don't care how much you want to be a woman that's what's wrong with this world today people wanna be more than God.
