Why can't africa take care of their people they send them to all the other countries but will tell everyone that africa is the best and doesn't need america?

If you have broken the law you need to go in your country..is so simple........

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

Nobody has a right to illegally enter any country. It's illegal. It's criminal act. Law is law. There is no excuse of asylum. USA is already over crowded. They need to all go back or sent back. ❤❤

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.

1. This is absolutely invasion of the US \n2. They need to work together and improve their own country \n3. They don't know Trump froze the federal funding for all programs ?

It is very sad to see all these people in need in their own country rejecting them meaning the country that they came from. American can only do so much America needs to take care of its own first if America had been doing that all along we would have had the strength to take in more immigrants from all over the world

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.

We all need to fix our own countries. \n\nI came to the west, I got my Bible and I'm going to leave now

Well the y are hostile and forcing their way into America illegally, so do what it takes to stop them the bullshit needs to stop , let them go home and fix their own damn country with all the drive they are showing to illegally enter America

Americans need help too get yourselves and your own country back together you've used all of our resources

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.

Venezuela ?? needs to get Chavez out so people can live in their country at peace. Such a tragedy for the venezuelan people.

Americans are struggling why should we put immigrants before us..no we need to fix our country an put Americans first

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.

They need to fight for change in their own countries. They need to learn to vote differently. We saw the kind of voting they were doing here and it was destroying our country. They try to migrate here to escape their failed country, but then they keep voting for the same awful socialist policies that ruin our economy. They need to stay the f out and fix their homeland. So sick of the entitlement

Mexico needs to fix their country because they gotta stop running to USA

Many European countries need a man like Donald Trump.

so let's pose a question to all those who seem to just hate the LGBTQIA+ community for whatever their reasons are....if someone who happens to be transgender saves your life, saves the life of one of their team members or perhaps leads an OP to a successful outcome, would you say that they were unqualified after the fact ? would you say that now as the regulations are being changed that they were never qualified to have performed those duties in the past ?? I've said this before, when you're downrange you don't give a damn if someone has a taco or a hotdog in their lunchbox, all that matters is that they've got your six and are willing to complete the directive as ordered. Every single one of you haters needs to realize that so many LGBTQIA+ service members have dedicated their efforts to keeping your asses safe in this country since the inception of the uniformed services were established. Should they not have done so ? Why does who they love, have sex with or how they dress actually matter to you as long as you're still able to go out and feed your fat ass an all American Cheeseburger under the watchful eye of the American Flag ?! And at the end of the day, all they ask is to be able to serve their country with dignity. It's disgusting that so many of y'all simply hate other folks this way and try to diminish the service of the LGBTQIA+ community.

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.

Surely, a country has the right and responsibility to control its border entries. If the US needs immigrant Ag labour, it should provide an immigration status for temporary Ag work.

Great job President Trump, we need “real” service men and women to protect our country. CNN are still upset about the election and will do anything they can to throw a wrench into the wheels of your administration.

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

Why are you wasting your time CNN with this kind of non sense? Transgender seriously??? In military seriously?? Other countries are watching and laughing at you. CNN you should have realized this won’t work for America and you are still on the same path. They are only two Genders, male and female ( we have figured this out many years ago and we are done here )\n\nLet’s put our energy and focus on things that need to be figured out. God bless America and Trump !

They need to deport 90% of the ones are in Canada. They are destroying the country

Invasion into another country like this is n9t going to go over well. They need to go about this the legal way.

Stay in your country and make it better stop coming over here ,,if you need to come , enter in the right way !!!!

There Country needs to step up and take if their iwn people. This is sad. They need a TRUMP Valenzuela President!!

We all need to stay in our own country, but if you came to America the right way then those people are safe..but if you snuck in our country..SHAME ON YALL..\nPRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS ,Y'ALL AIN'T GO TO GO HOME, BUT YOU GOT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF AMERICA

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.

I mean I have mixed feelings about the trans movement. But here is how I feel about this subject and always have. There needs to be one standard. It needs to be the highest standard in the world. and if any man, women, or trans person can't hack it then they do not serve. If they can hold up to the standards they should serve. I am a veteran that serve with a group of people in the Navy that demanded the highest standards. I would serve with man, woman, or trans person that can pull their weight. It is their country. Let them serve if they wish.

dont need her/him in battle. we need men nothing else fighting for the country

First let me say that I fully support anyone who is fully physically capable of doing whatever job that they are either enlisted to do or has been assigned to do within the military. \n\nIn a time where special forces doesn't mean bulked up freakishly high endurance or specific physical requirements are necessary.\nSpecial ops nowadays is also about mental acumen and ability to assess the entire picture and it is absolutely well known that certain physical factors are required to be on the front lines but to remove a very capable force that is a force multiplier in a time where it's absolutely needed and cannot be replaced quickly or even adequately is doing a massive disservice to our military and the citizens of this country just for the sake of a small group of individuals with small minds that couldn't step into that vacant position and adequately fill it with the same caliber of talent regardless of how they identify themselves!\nBeing the most lethal fighting military requires many talents and to remove those talents from the soldiers they support is absolutely hurting our military in ways that will take decades to rectify!\nThat soldier on the ground calling in drone strikes to get his or her soldiers out of the danger isn't going to care if they are trans or identify as LGBTQ only that they are able to safeguard their soldiers in whatever way they have been trained to do..\nOur military needs to be the most diverse in order to be the most lethal in the most diverse situations throughout the worlds stages!

Hello people hello world this is the Mississippi boy let me be very clear every black person minority person transgenders people that are in military they ought to resign just quit in the army armed forces whatever they are in position that they have taken in this country they do not need to work up under this administration to protect this country especially if you are black and minorities native Americans and other races here working and trying to protect this country they all should resign and quit and let Donald Trump send his family members and friends and these white privilege white supremacist people to war and let them defend this country not us as poor People's and these people don't care nothing about us but we will go out here and lose our life for protecting these white supremacist here in this country it's time to wake up America it's time to wake up people

The USA has so much problems already. Immigrants, taxes, Inflation, and to top it off, it's infrastructure needs to be updated and improved. The UNITED STATES is collapsing. Of course the USA is always helping other countries but it needs to help it's own people first. People reading my message should look up China and watch how their country has improved in technology and infrastructure.... America is way behind.

India should issue condoms immediately and reduce its population. It's putting a lot of pressure on global immigration lines. If the country can't provide for its citizens with jobs, security and good living conditions it should reduce the population. Most countries including the US will be willing to donate condoms if needed, because it has become a headache to most of the world.

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

People act like going back to their home country is a one way ticket to a crime against humanity. If their home country is so bad, we need to blame their home country and make it known that their country is enacting crimes against humanity.

Sorry about the tears but they need to fix their own country and stay over there. America has enough problems.

This is why this has to be top priority to be finished. This is a stampede! Total chaos no order. There needs to be really barriers.. barbwires or electric fences. \n\nThese people clearly do not respect the laws of this country to come in legally.

Indians need visas to enter foreign countries and overstay their visa, that is the actual reason for visa rejections.

They need to know how to behave if came to other countries

Search people have nothing to contribute other than they need food they need money they have no job no nothing just like in their country they want to do the same thing here these people will never help America they will destroy America

Deploy military and all necessary resources to stop ILLEGALS like this from invading the U.S. Legal immigration is perfectly fine - need to find out who we are letting into this country. Block those who wish to do ill will against Americans and only allow those who 100% support our constitution and will assimilate into American culture and contribution to that culture instead of isolating themselves from it.

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 agree with some comments here need to stand together and fix your own Country and Government Mexico good example

Mexico needs to held accountable for letting so many people into their country just to let them attempt to cross illegally into the US

Learn English first. Fix your own crappy countries ! Hispanics seem to have no pride! Why hang your flag when u come!?!! If your culture is so good then stay where it’s everywhere. We don’t need more baby poppers

These people were given orders to charge the boarder by Soros and Obama - they have sleeper cells all over the country and will provoke each one on command. Why is this reporter surprised? Does she not know about Benghazi? Come on lady - wake up! Soros and Obama need to find another job - they are washed up and pathetic.
