When will Melania, Elona and Vance wife be deported???? I Know our taxpaying money will not be used to deported not even a dog...This expense is on dump trump and the billionaire...

This is the look of freedom. This is the human spirit showing us that the will to live, to be free takes precedent over nationality, culture, etc. The United States NEVER stopped being an oasis in the world’s mind. It is an icon of breaking from from tyranny, oppression even if the USA doesn’t deserve that designation. Or, maybe the U.S. doesn’t belong to u.s. children if immigrants as we believe. Maybe, the U.S. really belongs to every tired and huddled mass yearning to be free. Who are we, Americans, to decide our legacy was over? Maybe, we ran into trouble when we forgot what we are, and why our own ancestors came here. The people of the world have spoken. We have no right to withhold safe refuge from those fleeing death and oppression. Instead of hanging with dictators, maybe our highest national “leader” should return to his original mantra of demanding other nations provide safety for their own, so that their own stop feeling the need to flee. This is the vast majority of migrants’ character. We can separate law breakers from the masses, without accusing the masses of criminality.

It’s crazy, you can’t have mental illness or be dependent on medications and cannot have significant medical history in order to serve.\nTrans people shouldn’t be able to serve if most people with even a minor issue can’t serve. CNN needs to stop spreading bs ideologies and fake news.

Columbia don't even want their own people back?

Mexico has a female president? Hahaha, even Mexicans nowadays are less sexist and more progressive than Americans

How do these people even sneak in this country

We need to walk away from the USA. Canada needs to build a Canadian vehicle line rather than anything from the USA. We need our own micro chip factory. We need to partner directly with other trading partners, even if it’s at a cost

The US imports more than it exports so even if other countries put the same tariff % the US would still make money no? ?\nPeople saying 'we will stop buying US products' my question is what US products were you buying anyway? ?

People blaming canadian borders ? too funny.. they cant even figure out their own border and want to blame canada. How many people from america are running here? Trump be smoking fent.

Does Canada even have a military?

I mean really, if trump actually cared about drugs and illegal immigrants crossing our borders, why wouldn’t he actually try to work with Canada and Mexico instead of jumping straight to this? I mean sure, you could argue that Canada and Mexico didn’t help curb that stuff during bidens tenure. But this just seems like an unnecessary escalation that doesn’t even directly address the border issues. It’s all b.s.

Canada is a free loader cant even keep up with the nato budget. They should trade with Russia

Even if Canada cant win this, a response has to be given. Drumpf cant be allowed to think he can do what he wants to anyone without response.

I often wonder how individuals of such limited intellectual capacity manage to ascend to positions of elite power. Does Donald Trump even possess a functioning brain? His haphazard implementation of tariffs, left and right, raises the question: who ultimately bears the cost? Spoiler alert—it's the American people. In short, Trump is fabricating excuses to line his own pockets, masquerading as a so-called 'businessman' while operating more like a seasoned scammer. Cough Businessman? Hardly.

Should have thought that one through and actually negotiated with the businessman instead of causing his country more problems.....but we are talking about the dummy who used a mass shooting to ban more guns even though all the weapons used in that mass shooting were already banned. Have never seen any item that said made in Canada so all he's doing is hurting his own country....same with Mexico that lets itself be used as a highway.

Australian here. The US ranks alongside China as an unreliable trade partner, and I think it would be a huge risk for countries to assume that the US would honour any security pacts.\n\nAll branches of US Government are corrupted:\n\n1. Supreme Court - what would happen in your country if a justice of the highest court in your land was found to have accepted millions of dollars in financial benefits from a billionaire with business before the court.\n\n2. Whitehouse - a convicted felon is currently the President and he is supported by people who can’t even convince him the reality of who pays tariffs.\n\n3. House of Representatives - name one piece of legislation of significance that has emanated out of the House in 4 years? How many ridiculous fishing expeditions have they pursued for the sake of political gain. Responsible for withholding aid to Ukraine for months.\n\n4. Senate - confirmed the appointment of several cabinet members devoid of the requisite experience for their role, including an ex tv host to head up Defence who has issues for alcoholism, fidelity, was head of a veterans group charged with financial mismanagement, is accused of ra8e, and has white supremecy tattoos on his body.\n\nNot a country you can rely on.

No idea why this is even happening

Canada ?? strengthen even more the relationship with the EU ?? and remaining allies. We need to learn to not be overdependent on the USA at all levels! Then USA cannot moan that if it says to jump we don't ask how high!

There's a reataliatory clause saying such actions would force the US to hike the tariffs even higher

Way to leave the guy unable to even communicate that he can't communicate becoz you took his translator off him!!\nYou would think that these idiots would know WHO is going WHERE, and that they would be assigned to their own sele ted groups of officials such that they at least have a rough visual idea of what they all look like.\nThis is lacking even the most basic of protocols...

This good reporting Dennis...but it's true both Zelensky and Putin are Dictators.... Zelensky has been brutal on freedom of assembly speech and has banned religious groups..Putin we can't even talk about it...they have both committed war crimes...there is no law that allows war crimes coz you defending your self...

THE WORST THING YRUDEAU DID TO CANADA. NOW WE ARE GOING TO SUFER EVEN MORE! TRUDEAU HAS TAXED YOU EVEN MORE. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT TERAFFS WILL DO TO YOU THAT TRUDEAU HAS JUST DONE? NOW YOU WILL PAY EVEN MORE FOR EVERYTHING!

The Americans will soon be poorer and more isolated than ever. Trump wants to make America great again? He is going to piss everybody, even the few nations that had kept good relations with US.

Elon and Trump is reverting income tax to consumption tax, destroying Tesla competition and resurrecting fascism at the same time, thats impressive even for people that expected the worst.

Great, now the fentanyl will be made in USA and even easier to get. Trump might be the stupidest person on earth.

Their children can have all the benefits that even my kids never can have… US has humongous debts; I have no extra taxed money to benefit those undocumented immigrants

Back in 2016, Trump introduced 25% tariffs on China 301-classification imports that severely damaged my business. For whatever reason, he then exempted the tariffs, but the public still assumed that they were in place. It was a perfect Trump win-win move to make the voters think that he was acting tough, while actually exempting the tariffs for us importers. Unfortunately, Biden got into office and immediately took away the exemptions and screwed us. I mention all of this in order to exemplify how nothing is as it seems when it comes to Trump. Sometimes you have to let this stuff play out before overreacting. I think that Canada made a mistake by overreacting so quickly. This will force Trump's hand to pursue the trade war, even if it was not his actual intention.

No can do. Our own citizens can't find affordable housing, and struggle just to afford prescriptions and food. We sadly are in no position to bring in millions of dependents who can't even support themselves right now. We're barely surviving ourselves. \n\nThey're willing to sink us, but its up to us to keep them out or we could all go down with the ship.

Canada fails to stop illegal immigration? How TF does that even happen when Canada is hemmed in by USA? The Greenlanders/Icelandics going to US to look for jobs?!? *Insert confused Jackie Chan picture here*

trump lies to his nation and others nations too. fentanyl is not even a real issue. theres like 1 percent of usa fentanyl coming from canada. i hope americans will get rid of him. this is an unjustified tariff against an ally country and its unacceptable. usa are responsible to take care of their own borders in the first place.

The best thing you can do if you're not an American citizen or even if you are an American citizen not to buy any American products. This would include subscriptions to places like YouTube and Facebook American software food items cars etc.

It's only a matter of time before America pushes every country right into arms of The BRICS Nations. You can BET THE FARM if Canada and Mexico join BRICS China, Russia, and other countries will be invited to set up shop right on the Rio Grande in the South and Niagara Falls on the Northern border of the United States. America will LITERALLY BE SURROUNDED. If Panama feels threatened they will join BRICS for protection as will Greenland and every other nation on earth INCLUDING other international port locations. This is a disaster of BIBLICAL proportions to the US economy if the US loses the privilege to be served at just a couple of the strategically placed locations. This will hyper accelerate the balance of WORLD POWER from America to The BRICS GLOBAL MAJORITY and completely dismantle the influence of the UN. THEY WILL SANCTION AMERICA!!! Even Israel would abandon America once that happens because the money source would dry up in less than a couple years. BRICS now OUTGUNS America in GDP, PURCHASING POWER, AND MILITARY STRENGTH! They're are nearly 70% of the WORLD POPULATION (and growing) which means a draft is virtually GUARANTEED if ww3 erupts. China has just PUT THE WORLD ON NOTICE they are AHEAD BY GENERATIONS in AI, EV's, and technology FULL STOP! Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, etc... have to be asking themselves is it worth it being Americas FOOLS???

Canada is not ready for this tariff war, and it is all due to the 10 years of Trudeau government. Justin promised help to people, but the only help that can be provided is in printed money, which will put Canada into even deeper depression. It may take 2 generations for Canada to recover from what Justin did to Canada.

Canadian already can't afford anything. Everything already too expensive! \n \nNow Trump make it even worse! ?

25% tariffs against billions of dollars worth of goods was announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier today. Billions Dementia Donald. For the simpletons, that means most everything you buy from Canada will be 25% more expensive, even toilet paper.

Thousands came illegally and thousands need to be deported. No sympathy or support for ANY illegals no matter where they fled from. The all need to be deported, even if it takes 10 years

Sounds great to me!\nThat's why we elected him.\nStart with the Mauritanians.......those people have no concept of hygiene, much less even know how to use flush toilet.

I have 2 brothers that live in the US and they both enjoy living there. Yes, the medical is expensive and not as good as Canada's medical plan. But it's also true that you could get in fast all in the US. Hospitals pill to getting in to Canadian hospitals for appointments. For\n Myself, I love, the US has lot of nice cultures. And I Love all the theme parks that you guys have down there like Disneyland and hollywood theme park as well and even Hawaii.

Why do those of us on the political left keep allowing those on the political right to dictate the terms of public conversations, even when we have the facts on our side? It is estimated that 1.7% of the world population is biologically intersex. That's roughly the same as the percentage of the world population that is naturally redheaded. Trump's executive order states that the US government only recognizes two biological sexes.  This means that as far as the US government is concerned, biologically intersex people don't exist. This is analogous to having an executive order saying redheads do not exist.  It's nonsense.  So, why aren't biologists from all over the country pointing this out? The percentage of the world population that identifies as transgender is at most 0.6%.  So why are we talking about transgender people when there is a larger group of people that Trump's executive order discriminates against?  Here's why: because folks on the left insist on allowing those on the right to set the terms of almost every debate we have in this country and folks on the right are happy to ignore intersex people (whose existence conclusively establish that their views are false) and those of us on the left stupidly follow their example in doing so. If we are serious about protecting trans people, we need to be smart about this. Let us reframe the public debate to focus on intersex people.  This will make exposing the lunacy of Trump's executive order much easier when engaging a general public that is too ignorant, lazy, and indifferent to educate themselves about trans people. So, let's help out the lazy ignorant masses by adopting a simpler (and more science-based) approach to the debate over whether there are two biological sexes by making the simple, scientifically sound observation that biological sex is bimodal, not a binary.  And not amount of executive orders can ever change that fact.

At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They're allowed to take only a rucksack and a little cash with them, and even then, they're robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.

Palki Sharma is the very example of just because you can speak well doesn't make you smart. Wasn't she just making bs claims in Oxford that Indians were flaunting their passports and the immigration officer was a fan of India. Like seriously. Where does she even come up with these thoughts? Instead of reporting on real and prevalent issues around the country and making people aware of them, she's always concerned talking about others. A typical neighbour aunty. She probably lives in a bollywood script inside her head where she is the nationalist protagonist keeping the country together lol.

Why do a piece like this when it is clearly obvious when you interview actual servicemembers past and present about the importance of military camaraderie and mental fitness. If somebody is confused about their sex or gender, that is a mental illness which excludes such people from serving in the United States military branches. CNN gets it wrong, on the wrong side of history even after such extreme ratings losses and audience. Kaitlin is not helping AT ALL.

Shut up with all the abnormal human behavior! Trans can't even live in their own bodies and minds! Defund CNN!

Who gives CYA don’t see any other army even having this in question. It’s about time america starts to grow tf up again

The USA is a country of crazies. There is surely a mental disease epidemic happening there. Imagine this crap even mentioned in a mature country like Russia or China. God surely gave them over to deprived mind. I used to admire America in all my life, but in the past 20 years it has changed and for me, the USA is now synonymous to leprosy.

if you need meds to live, you are undeployable...this isn't just working through the pain and gobbling motrin or sucking it up - even a woman on birth control can just stop and be ok.\ncastration without hormonal support will mess you up.

They don’t even try to assimilate when they get here! They treat our cities and neighborhoods just like they do in their home country! They could care less about our way of life. This is an invasion!!

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.

There are millions of these people. If they can come to the biggest military in the planet and try to over run us, why don't they get together and fight for your own country. You have assets that you don't even understand. Fight for Your Land. Hell I'll fight with you....

America has been invaded. We are going to have to end up doing the same as Poland is now doing to illegal immigrants, and also the politicians enabling this insanity must be tried for treason. As long as the entire world has American people to come take advantage of, they will never even try to fix their own countries.
