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.

I do believe there exists a proper and established route to enter this nation legally. Perhaps they feel they're above waiting in line like the rest of the law-abiding?

I feel bad for many who want to come legally, but this mass attempt to force entry into the United States, this is not the right way.

If you want to know why they feel entitlement to the United States, it's because their pop culture is full of propaganda telling them being of the American continents means that they are indeed, Americans of the USA.\n\nSee the lyrics of America, by a commie band called Los Tigres del Norte. ?\n\nEff off Gimmiegrants.

We didn't care how they feel. Keep your sexual proclivities out of our Armed Forces

The EU is next. How long have they been tariffing and banning US products? I feel the Americans are tired of paying for everything

Trump should explore all the avenues before deciding the tariff imposition.. talks must be open\n... if it fails then you should initiate action... Donald Trump behaves like a dictator than a man with democratic values... My personal feelings

I look across the river every morning to look at Michigan. I feel sorry for the guy who voted for Trump that’s now out of a job but elections have consequences. Funny, it only took Trump 11 days to screw the North American economy. It’s like we are casinos. Who looses money running a casino?

The last time Mexico tried to ignore president Trump's tariff threats Mexican farmers stood up against its own government for not listening to president Trump, let's wait and see how the people feel about this. ?

Keep noticing in the news. That it keeps coming from the angle how it's going to hurt American citizens. Never what it's going to do to Mexico or Canada. Just how bad it is for America. What about the other side? What will Canada and Mexico feel? What goods? Always from the angle of be scared America this sucks for you and only you.

insted of counter tariffs just up the price on anything usa puts a tariff on,.,.usa puts 25% on energy inported then up the price by 25% more ? Let usa pay the bill 50% extra.,.,. i mean if they can bump the cost on what Trump feels the normal american can aford THEN BUMP IT UP.

Canada should leave the Allied nations and join China and Russia, see how they feel. If it gets worst just ask the brics to station Russian missiles in the border.

Trump largely campaigned on the fact that grocery was cheaper during his 1st tenure. Majority of his supporters are soon going to feel the pain of this arrogance.

No big surprise, here. Trump announced 25% tariffs some time ago. Not much leadership, other than Captain Ford waving his new ball cap! Rich people can afford tariffs, we ordinary people are the one's to feel the pain. Nothing new again!

As an American I feel bad for Canada and Mexico... Prices will increase in the US, but people dont realize the US is the least dependent on trade of any country in the world. Trade makes up 17% of American GDP.

There’s nothing Canada can do when they have a surplus of 150 billion with US so if US put terrace at 25% and can put Terrace at 25% then Trump put it at 100 who’s gonna feel the pinch everything that has American they have gas they have wood they have all the minerals of Canada has they don’t need Canada for anything. And you think that I’m proud of American. I’m actually Canadian but I’m a realist needs America America doesn’t need Canada.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

Focus on making it affect Red States as much as possible, please. But, Blue States should feel some pain for putting such an unappealing candidate on the ticket. She was so poor of a choice that her message wasn't strong enough to beat one of the worst humans on earth. When will the Dems learn how to talk to the average unintelligent American? [rhetorical question]

As a New Zealander I am very proud of when we stood up to the US over using our waters to transport nuclear weapons. I think Canadians should feel the same pride that your standing up now. Don't let them bully you just because of there power, Canada has many true allies all over the world.

I support Canadian, mexican and US citizens in these horrible decisions by Trump. You will feel the effects shortly, i will feel it in a couple of months. This is utter nonsense - all because of one old angry inidividual who only has a few years left on earth. We, the citizens, must have more say in our future than Mr Trumps anger in his elder days!

BDS America and Americans!! They need to be made to feel the economic, social, and cultural pain of being a pariah State/people. Americans just voted Trump into office again, so they ALL carry the blame for Trump's actions.

As an American it feels a bit extreme, but all Canada has to do is attempt to fix their border, but your leaders would rather choose war. OK. 75% of Canadian exports go to the US while you only take 12% of ours exports. This will be a bloodbath. If Canada was a state in the USA, it would be the 4th largest economy. I have family that is from Canada, this makes me sad.

Justin Trudeau has got to be every bit as bad as Joe Biden and I feel sorry for the Canadian people all he needs to do is shut the freaking border.

Why do they feel entitled to our country!

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???

?????? Elections have consequences feel the pain

As an american devastated by trumps win, I wish the canadians & Mexico would increase the tariffs. This man is causing chaos. The republicans made this bed & we are all forced to sleep in it. As a mexican american & a woman, my feelings are evn stronger

Now you know what China feels

It's sad .. I feel for them but it's against the law

Trans are all about themselves and their feelings as well as relishing their perceived victimhood it me me me! that isnt the type of people the military wants. They want team members not self center people

If you are transgender, you are suffering under a delusion. A “woman” is an adult, female human. If you are XY, you cannot be a woman no matter how you feel, no matter what you believe. If your grasp on reality is this tenuous, you are not qualified to serve.

Too many Indian abroad\nThey have very bad attitude regardless of age, rank , tittle or foreign passport holders\nNZ, US, AUS etc\nMost are rude, loud and feel so enttiled\nThey cause drama in all places\nHotel, airport and planes etc\nThey are all over places and I wonder how they survive \nwhen most ONLY EAT VEGETARIAN\nStrictly Indian vegetarian*\nVery picky eaters and drinks alot opt beers and whiskey \nTHE ONLY COUNTRY WITH WAY TOO MANY WHEEL CHAIR users at the airport\nwhen they actually can walk

Crazy!! All the more reason to lock everything off, and deport!! The strange thing is, that they feel entiteled to it! ????

This new Trans movement? Where did that. Come from? It was a result of Social media grooming and brainwashing ,a home for confused kids and oppurtunists ,Activists sadly, and Ultra Progressives,piggy on the back of the LGB movement,I feel for the Actual Trans people and children should be left be left alone

At least it is not Poland, they are flat out shooting all the Muslims trying to break in and take over their country. You feel for these folks but go back and fix your country

Yea no, i think they feel entitled.

That’s not attempted mass entry \nIts an invasion of the entitled \nDeep down they knew how it was going to end \nI just feel for the kids wrapped up in all this.

I feel for alot of them. God damn Joe Biden.

French Canadians have always been treated like boat people by the Anglo Saxon racists.Don't feel bad it is the Canadian way.

It’s bad people who ruin it for others. US. Citizens should feel safe in their own country.

How do people not feel like an idiot? Even talking about something so stupid...

Ppl spewing hate in the comments… yall real mad UNDOCUMENTED people can turn a seed into a tree. Please feel free to read The US Constitution and learn basics on CIVIL and CRIMINAL offenses.

See how disrespectful they are? They don't follow the laws, they're just trying to push themselves into our country. Don't feel sorry for them. We can't support everyone. They need to fix the problems in their country.

I feel like most Africans can stay it’s the Hispanics that need to go . Africans work and don’t usually cause trouble

lol something tells me she probably is feeling very differently right now. she probably didn't think it would actually happen. what a rube.

The military should not dwal with this crap. Iis for fighting wars not making people feel good

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 ✌️ ? ?

As an American, what about how I feel about this situation ( illegal immigration? It’s been hard for me to feed my own family!! ?. Come legally, and my felling will be open arms.

these undocumented migrants they feel entitlement and gets so much benefit compared to those legal immigrants who's been busting their ass just to get by and could't even get any federal aide or even medicare

This is a direct reflection on Joe Bidens' immigration policy. The world feels entitled to our country.
