I understand them wanting to come here,bbbuutttttt... How about ..take that energy and put it all back into your OWN country and make it to where you WANT to stay..

Sorry, guys, but I do agree with Donald Trump. We need to do something about everyone coming into our country. Illegals into our country and I did say. Illegals, we should be supportive and even whenever they come into our country. They should have a job they should pay for their own food. Nobody gave me a handout. I want to know why I have to pay for them a hand out. American people are sick of it are just d*** right sick of I say send them back. Where they belong, we can't afford to get our own homeless off. The sthree we should be working on earth. Not anybody else but us. And I'm talking about no other country. We should be working on getting our homeless office. Detroit built more housing for our homeless people. Are homeless are poor people that need jobs too

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.

That is wrong what they doing I only know what they don't want us here you cannot go to any country crossing llike this I really don't blame the Americans no one should blame the Americans if they don't want us here what these people do in it is wrong now they want to come to this country by force Shane on all of them

Want to come to this country? We will let you in with open arms IF you do it legally!!!

Trump to recognise Somaliland soon. Somaliland people want their sovereignty over their country back from illegal Europe, China, Russia and Arab people denial of our right.

May be because, they were not Khalistani terroridts. Canada and the UK want only terrorists, rap*sts etc in their countries.

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

Do people realize they are doing this ILLEGALLY?! There’s a reason why they want to leave their own country but they need to do it LEGALLY! That’s all Trump and every other Republican wants.

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

Good point, why they want to stay in a racist country?

This is what trump is talking about they come in drives and their countries have plenty of America's money and resources and I've visited these places their beautiful and cheap to live in they want to come here to rob steal and kill them they go back to their homeland and start missing in action their definitely not poor, period and Americans can't move over in their countries illegally period, Amen

And the American Citizens want them all out of our Country!

Try pulling this in any other country in the world and see what happens. Just try to switch citizenship without income anywhere in the world. You just can’t do it. It’s not the land that they want (back) it’s the free resources and money at the expense of the current inhabitants…which is theft in many respects. We all want the hope for a better life, free from persecution. Give them the land, it won’t make a difference without the free stuff. AND they’re Venezuelans here, not Mexicans…so really, whose land are they looking for actually?

Trump wants the country to be majority white, not fake white like latins, lite Indians etc. Anglo Saxton white.other than white people he wants it to contain only former slaves, and few few few others

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

At this point we need to lock our borders to ndia. They.are.EVERYWHERE\nThey need chinas one child policy and to stay in their country \nThe west needs to have more kids unless they want every one to look like jeets

Together let’s do something about it instead of leaving. Canada isn’t a country like China where no changes can be made by its citizens. I’m an immigrant, first arrived here in Canada in 2014. Once I heard the US wants to annex us I asked myself what can I do to help prevent this. I think the quickest way is we need a stronger military. I looked up the Canadian military website and found out me as a permanent resident can also be qualified to apply. Although the compensation isn’t that great, if the US really start being unwise I will definitely apply.

Kind of out of touch with reality. In the next decade there’s gonna be people transferring into Furrys. Trans are going to be nothing in comparison. We should let anyone do whatever we want that’s what being an American should be being free. If you wanna go serve the country you should be able to go. Serve the country as long as you fit enough to do it and mentally able to do it.

These Indians have some nerve to protest in Canada, they should go to India and protest their government, they come to other countries and don't want to follow the country laws, they are very bold face .

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 !!!

we are happy to see losers leave. we want winners who fight back and make this a great country once more

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 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.

If you want to live in any country it has to be done with proper documentation and screening.

Are these the people we want to come in our country?

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

Thanks to Biden who wanted to take this country down that’s how all these trans people moved up. They can’t serve. CNN is a disgrace

If she served her country and did the job well then I respect her for her service just like everyone else. Everyone is an individual and not a group idenity. Isn't that what we accuse Democrats of doing? We want a merit based America, and it looks like she has the merit.

Canada and Canadians first...Canadians don't care what you want or think...our country time to go...

Anyone that wants to serve this country is a great thing. That does not matter. They should not be able to participate in sports.

Someone who is willing to serve in the United States military will always have my support. I don't care if you are a male, female, transgender, or want to be called a tree. If you are willing to literally die for our country, who am I or anyone else to stop you?

People mad that we are going to tariff (tax) other countries who benefit from doing business with the U.S. but okay with the government placing tarrifs on our own peoples income for working and contributing to the local economy through commerce. Tariffs seem more fair. At least if they want to reduce the spending they do less business with the U.S. we have to work for an income to even live here. We have zero choice about income tax and in fact, can be jailed for being unable to pay it.

This is the Military, a lethal fighting force to protect your country and for war. There is no place in the military for these types of people and or behaviors. There is no place for specific gender flags and all this crap in what is meant to be the most lethal fighting force on the planet. It has no place at all within the walls of the military, and you do not want other countries to see you as weak, because it upsets these types of people who have spread like ants since dumb joe ruined the country over the last 4 yrs.

This is not the behavior our military wants or needs. Other countries look at transgender as weakness and craziness, and this position is harmful to our country. This is now what Trump is making decisions about, and the voters have spoken. We don't want tax dollars spent on anything trans.

???? EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM DESTROYED THEIR COUNTRY AND NOW WANT TO COME OVER HERE AND DESTROY OURS! NO THANK YOU!

I don't want that Man in charge of security for our country! He doesn't know what he has in his underwear! If he can't tell a penis from a female he isn't fit or Qualified to serve!

lgtb + are more patriotic than a guy no go to war becouse the food, sex abuse or a fraud bank, or have sentence od crimes, sexual asault or ha guy sexual abuse a ex a wife for exemple.\no listing a guy talk so bad a military members bud the family was reject from other country becouse dont want go to war . that is all

Ok let’s simplify this,,do we want to be known as the country with a trans army vs everyone else’s straight army? I don’t think so

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.

I have Indian friends who support these rejections, as they themselves admit that Indian people often lack discipline and proper manners when travelling abroad. They criticise India for its poor reputation, blaming the behaviour of its citizens. They understand why some countries no longer want to accept more Indians, as they do not want to import poor behaviour or unhygienic practices that conflict with local social norms. The reality is that the Western world is changing and, at last, becoming less politically correct. The next country likely to face scrutiny will be Pakistan, due to the violence associated with its citizens. You may call us racist, xenophobic, or worse, but Westerners no longer care. We want cleanliness, security, and respectful social behaviour in our communities. If you don't want to adhere to these norms and values, then FUCK OFF!

Not American. But it is shameful to read how some Americans in here cant even respect someone wanting to serve their country and them. These ppl are ready to give their lives for the so-called 'freedumb' americans are always braggin about. And what they get in return is being reduced to something as primitive as genitals. Shame on anyone who has more an issue with what a fellow human identifes with than the mad tangerine in the white house that is actively destroying the US and democracy. Let's see how far these ppl are willing to serve their fellow citizens like trans soldiers do. Oh right... they dont. Cuz all they care about is themselves. Much respect to her for speaking out and wanting to serve her 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.

Ya feminize your military. Can't have toxic masculinity in the army. A lot of girly men defending your country is exactly what your enemy wants.??

My daughter went to WestPoint, got top grades in geophysics, did two tours of duty in Iraq. And she changed her gender to male . He isn’t interested in dating anyone, he just wants to do a good job in the reserves. He is a major now….was that all for nothing? Trumps hate and paranoia is ruining this country.

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

Kick themback into Mexico. Mexico wants them since they let them cross their country.

Can't you tell we need workers in the US. And they want to work or get their drugs across, go back and fix your country sorry

Because Biden told them to surge the border and they forgot a new commander in chief has taken over! His name is Trump and he stands on his word. Those wanting to come into our country must come legally or face the consequences.

? ?? Mexicans come into Latin America when they want it belongs to them, this is the Hispanic side of the world ? This is Cartel Country ???
