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.

Why are you coming here there is no hope here for future see house price when will a new landing immigrant be sble to buy a house

This is Bidens fault. Giving these people false hopes while breaking our laws. Yes, we are all immigrants but my ancestors went through rigorous screening. Mental and Physical health\n exams, documentation, literacy was required, no beggars. Everyone had to prove that they had a place to go and job skills. Better yet only a certain percentage of nationalities from every country was allowed. Country quotas were regulated. Meaning a variety of immigrants were coming here from around the world. The melting pot....NOT JUST LOW FUNCTIONING, LOW EDUCATED BROWN PEOPLE ..like the Democrats insist on today? And, drug trafficking, sex trafficking of children, weapons smuggling would have been grounds for life in prison or even execution. They still are everywhere else in the world.

deporting illegal immigrants but the American people can't identify a male from a female. stop stupidity if you are a male, you can't be a woman so come on.

There is no excuse for anyone to come here illegally and stay. Being poor or from a poor country doesn’t give you the right to come here illegally and stay. \nWe need to help our own countrymen first and the poor we have here.\nWe welcome legal immigrants.\nRight now it’s all shut down due to all the illegals Biden let come in so blame it on him if you had an appointment but it’s been canceled.\nAmericans are now coming first in our own country again and that’s how it should be.

You really are not allowed to be coming into this country. Birthright is for slaves and their kids slavery and their kids that they left here in the United States. Understand what that mean it doesn’t say anything in the fourth amendment about immigrants go read the fourth amendment you’re not allowed to be here there is no birthright for you all. It’s about the people of slaves their children.

If these immigrants do not recognize and respect our border laws, what makes you think they will honor or follow any other law in America. Wake-up! My Lord, have the American people in sanctuary cities lost their minds. What will it take for you to acknowledge this is a dangerous invasion! Nothing good can come from breaking US laws from the get go.

The Trump administration is trying to pass a bill through congress to stop this migration but now some Republicans as well as Democrats are trying to water down this bill for it to say state and local law enforcement have no authority to stop this. And worse at a later date immigrants can come back? Worse these tradors working for our government want to Rubber Stamp this bill in the Presidents name if it passes. Do Not say yes to this crooked bill.

I love immigrants as my parents are LEGAL immigrants that came here legally. I see every single person dressed so swell that I thought this was at some concert until the camera pannes out. Im sure they heard of all the FREE STUFF during Biden's open borders which is why every single one of them want to come here.

The last thing this country needs is more trash illegally coming into the US, stay in your own country , no one wants illegal immigrants here border is closed , thank you president Trump.

I am an immigrant from India so what i am going to say is a harsh truth. A lot of people come to Canada and then expect to do the same things they were used to do in their own countries. They forms groups, buy house in the same ethnic neighbourhoods as theirs. Because of this they do not grow. Lots of people who have been in Canada for decades cant speak english properly. They bring issues of their own country with them. They just don’t grow.

There not migrants there illegal immigrants period you come into anyone's country forcefully your illegal

Why are we protecting every other country's border but not our own. Why are you seeing this LMAO because Biden allowed this. Thank God Trump won. Biden said he couldn't do anything but Trump did the first day. These people infuriate me, you ask to come not demand it. Try do that in their country. This is going to stop thank God for President Trump. ? To you illegal immigrants.

45 screwed over all the people trying to come to the US legally. I would be pissed too. Now immigrants will come over illegally and the cartel will make money exploiting people.

But why & how they got the visa to come here in the first place ?? Our immigrations is the culprit to check !!

As someone who has done the immigration process legally, and know of people who have done it legally, I think it’s unfair that these illegal migrants can just come while I and those who done the process right had to pay a lot of money and wait a long time. People who are against this why don’t you understand? I have family who in their own country had to wait a LONG time for a visa just to visit the US and pay a lot too. I’m grateful for that Trump came into the office

And Mexico is like the immigrant super highway they just let them come in and go through they need to be sent back to Mexico and let them deal with it! Maybe then they'll close their southern border!

Why do immigrants think they can just come here?! Go hone and fix your own country!

Why does this only apply to certain people. I think everyone in America who was not born here should go as well. If you have parents that are not from the US that makes you associated, so you should go too. So raise your hand if you have immigrant ancestors. Come on don't be afraid. Come on Italians, Europeans, Asians, Africans, raise your hands. Then there would be no one left. You all need to stop the finger pointing, because this country belongs to none of us. REALLY!

Stop whitewashing your wording. They are not undocumented migrants. They are illegal immigrants! I'm sorry that words hurt you guys and possibly the majority of your viewers but that's the truth! If someone wants to come here, I have no problem with that nor do the majority of Americans. This is an amazing nation. However, there are many legal ways to do it. I've served with several fellow Marines that did it the right (legal) way. And let's not forget, it's not only people from Central and South America that are pouring across that southern border. We've caught countless people on the terrorist watch list including people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the like pouring across the border because they know how easy it is. Everyone is just mad because we finally have leadership that is doing something about it. And apparently, the libtards are either simply naive enough to think bad people would not come across the border and all those caravans are full of innocent women and children or they are trying to bring about the downfall and collapse of the United States. This is all simply ridiculous!

They are coming to your country - America, and even the do not know English. What would they do there? Cocaine trafficking Human trafficking – 98 percent are criminals. What right does this Spanish-speaking have to speak about your president - a lot of mess is made by them - immigrants.

Don’t forget to mention that soon after the Colombian President offered to come and pick up the immigrants with his own plane. Now, that is Power! Go Trump!!!

It kills me that rather than these immigrants get together and stand up in their own countries to make their homelands better they rather come to the United States. The United States have fought wars on our homeland for our freedom and independence for our own ppl. War is bad but why not stay in your own country and fight for your land.

I'm an Indian american immigrant stood in line for over a decade to get USC. We as a country can give up bananas and whatever else comes from these countries, there is enough food here to survive etc, it is matter of month or so before the country realizes they can not survive but USA needs to be cleaned up from illegal immigrants period.

Why's MEXICO not take care of their people???.\nAll ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MUST GET back TO WHERE THEY COME FROM. \nMEXICO GOVERNOR MUST TAKE CARE OF THEM PEOPLE.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Where are the China tariffs, where most illegal immigrants come from? Oh, Trump only bullies the weak

They need to receive their nationals.. Petro its just looking any issue to get into an argument with Trump. All this mess is also Petro’s fault allowing people to cross illegally to other countries. If we are going to take care of the Colombian nationals that comes with a price tag.. sorry we already paid enough for illegal immigrants!!

Democrats lied to illegal immigrants. \nIt’s not a secret that it’s illegal to cross the border through non-legal means.\nBut Democrats are racist and they believe that poor brown countries are special because of skin color. \nThat’s racist , we have a front door through a legal process that every single country on the face of the planet walks through to become a citizen. \nMexico and South America can go through the same damn door. \nThis is Democrat’s fault for lying to them encouraging them to become criminals, breaking US law to come here illegally \nTrump is not separating families. \nDemocrats are separating families because of the lies and false promises that they had no authority to grant.

Don't fall for the emotional blackmail. Not undocumented, illegal immigrants. Come legally.

NOT UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS... ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! Come on CNN, you care about foreigners more than your own countrymen... Pathetic.

Imagine you have your family, including small kids and older parents in your home and had one extra room for rent, you put ads out in the paper and interview some people for the spot, but while you are doing that, someone walked in your door and put all their things in your the room and then expected you to totally be cool with it. Anyone in their right mind, would be frustrated, even if that person was really nice and and said they'd pay rent. Any sane person would say, leave, go through the interviews, background checks, and then we'll see if it works out. It's not that you don't want to help them, but you have an order and a procedure that is in place for many reasons. \n\nImmigration is the same. It's not that the administration is anti-immigrant. We welcome ANYONE to come, you just need to come through the approved channels.

Hey CNN. How come you don’t report on Colombian president rescinding his decision. Now Colombian president states he will take back his criminal illegal immigrants PLUS Columbia will send planes to pick them up. \n\nCNN. YOU ARE LOSERS??????

LMAO what a clown. Get ready for more expensive coffee and anything else coming from Colombia.\nRemember, Columbia does not pay the tariff, WE DO. Every product that Americans use that contains\ncaffeine will now go up in price so that importers can recoup the tariff the AMERICAN company had\nto pay to import it. So, your Starbucks coffee will go up, ground coffee, instant coffee, energy drinks, etc.\nwill ALL GO UP IN PRICE.\n\nThe Orange Traitor sticking it to Americans once again. He grifted off of MAGA for years and they\nvoted him back in. He's constantly signing illegal and unconstitutional executive orders, all of which\nare or will be challenged in court. And now he begins his dumbass tariff wars to skyrocket prices and\ninflation in THIS country.\n\nHey MAGA, when are you going to figure out this criminal president doesn't give a f*** about you. He \ndoesn't need your vote anymore, and he's a lame duck president. He's gone insane trying to use \nbully tactics to enact his racist immigration ideas. He's destroying the immigrant workforce in \nAmerica. Gas prices up, food prices up. Inflation up already. Violence up already. THIS is what you\nvoted for.

Ohhh so to let all of those immigrants come through their country was fine and dandy but now that they sending them back they wanna close doors?Great job

Trump showing the world he ain't f*cking around when it comes to illegal immigration and deportations. Either cooperate or we'll hit you where it hurts. Unfortunately for Mexico, they are going to learn the hard way.

You don t come to USA if you don t know where to leave period .It has been like that for years.Normally from the airport you have to fill the adress of who will host you or the person who sponsored you.\nAnd by immigration standard you should not come here to be a charge and take advantage of the welfare system .From the USA ambassy where you postule for a USA visa everything is designed to avoid those kinds of situations .If you dont have a place to stay then ICE has to send you back to where you came .USA has been almost like that for years???.\nIf you cross the border illigaly you have to be detain and expulse automatically.\nSeeking asylum don t mean it as to be in USA only .There are so many countries crossed by those migrants that could and should take them as asylum seekers unless those countries did not sign the asylum seekers international treaty.

Seems like Columbia change their mind their own plans to come unpack about from the United States to take care of their immigrants????

Clearly Trump saw this coming, as he’s sending troops in. I have to believe that the people coming to the border now already know they won’t be eligible for immigration. The only thing that will occur is that people will get hurt. Biden encouraged this for four years.

This issue caused by Democrats administration, they give illegal immigrants a hope then they come but they can’t help them ?

Close it and lock it up. Let them stay on that side and see how they like it. I haven’t heard about any of our border agents, being injured or killed, I truly hope it does not come to that. If it does, we should take another look at this immigration and find another way to deal with it. If it can’t be done safely, let them stay on the other side

0:50 Federal immigration law ?, seriously! Comming to the US illegally. Is Global News trying ? play politics or they're d---- and not know why those deportees were deported? So you're telling me Canada isn't deporting anymore who comes into their country illegally, or what? ?

So ICE needs a warrant to go into a place of business but an immigrant can come into this country illegally with no papers and reap the benefits??? Morals I swear…

This is addressed mainly to the ugly Indian: My generation came to the racist west and built a golden reputation. We worked hard, assimilated, paid our taxes, and obeyed the laws. We were humble. We celebrated our native cultures within the confines of our communities. While it was frustrating to be invisible in white culture, we never sought to conquer them with our culture. We were ethical to the hilt. Our generations were poor -- yet we struggled to help others in India and in the west. We were NEVER on the dole. Personally I think it is rude to enter a nation (in the west or anywhere in the world) with naked opportunism. Speaking for myself -- despite neocolonialism, I admired western civilization, especially its older forms. \n \nBut the ugly Indian who comes now is loud, brash, socially irresponsible, exploitative, money-hungry, opportunistic, and arrogant beyond belief (full of the hubris that comes from sudden new wealth). They look down on us who have been here a while. They are used to a servant-culture and look down on white working class people, as if they are servants. As for second generation Indians in the west, they can be racist towards us first generations. But the opposite is true as well. Indian newcomers see them as an alien species. Indians do tend to hire their own and stick to their own identities -- I do not mean the Indian identity, but their native state identities. All this feeds into the primary and secondary forms of western racism that are already simmering beneath the surface. This new genre of Indians is destroying the goodwill we have built. I have personally witnessed arrogant young Indian students cutting the line to reach the front desk. No manners, no ethics. As a first generation Indian immigrant I get annoyed. So why shouldn't native born westerners (who are already racist)? \n \nBut to complain about how they smell is rude beyond belief. This must stop.

yep issue here is housing, to many people coming in not enough housing that is affordable for Immigrates and Canadians which has cause a rise in Homeless, lack of job increases and failure for new businesses to start up, low spending doesnt help it, low income less money going out, less sales. It been very unbalanced.

Canada allowed so many students to come, charging $40-50k on average, and kept bringing in more. Now they're claiming that the number of students and their dependents is the problem? IRCC marketed the pathway to PR after studies like cheese on a mousetrap. And now, with elections approaching, they've started the blame game. It's utterly idiotic. In this advanced world, do you really think the government didn’t realize how many people were immigrating here?

Wasn't the complaint immigrants coming into the usa from Canada? Huh im confused

More illegal guns, drugs and immigrants come to Canada from the USA. Do Americans not know how to fact check?

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money
