Trump is doing things right for America!! Please don't feel sorry for the illegal immigrants...they have never paid Fed and or State taxes. And Plus America never stopped them to come through the right way into the country. They are letting the millions of legal Immigrants in shame with all the hardships and struggles.

What do they think Donald Trump‘s gonna put a 25% terra tax on Canada if they don’t quit letting illegals cross the border and go into New York. Trump will most definitely send ice to New York and get rid of everyone of them. He also said that anybody that harbors Illegal immigrants. It’s a crime and they will be removed from office and put in prison. I think that’s a good idea. He’s going to put an into immigrants coming into our country and freeloading off the American people. I don’t blame him. I feel the same way. Get them the hell out of our country.???‍♂️?‍♂️?

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

This criminals terrorised our country and economy, I would suggest to Donald Trump to force air India to repatriate their criminal citizens or deny them to come here. The U.S. airlines don’t fly there and we shouldn’t allow them to come either.

BUH BYEEEEE.. NEVER come back please.... GO Trump GO! Doing EXACTLY what we ALLLLL voted for. (In just 5 hours FLAT LOL)

Good don't come here illegally good job president Trump keep it up!!!????

I knew those walls and barbed wires wouldn't and couldn't hold them back. They are a living tidal wave that will keep on coming no matter what Trump puts up.

Trump created a hostile environment where people of color gonna have to tighten up their gonna come and believe their white privilege will save them from reckoning coming

The Democrats are gonna call President Trump racist because he's deporting all immigrants back across the border. It doesn't matter what nationality you are if you come over illegal president Trump score the deported over the border.

I dont see South Africans on the the list? . Trump hates us coz we not as crazy about his America as he'd like us to be. Come home Africans ❤

How trump one a take on the\nwhole world. It will soon crush hell out a him\nTime trump! Time. Your time soon come\n God a God, he never sleeps

Coming into America illegally is a felony! Trump still hasn’t deported as many illegal immigrants as Obama has. But only trump is bad? Find something else to cry about!

Donald Trump u must first come to Africa n take your garbages before u start cleaning your house. Your people's are everywhere first call them home to u before u start sending African to Africa

As one of the world leaders, President Trump should also order the deportation of White land thieves in South Africa & Australia back to Europe (they stole the land from Blacks), & for Christopher Columbus, who supposedly 'discovered' America in 1492, though he found 112 MILLION BLACKS & RED INDIANS living in peace, but MASSACRED 106 MILLION of them in order to settle Whites from Europe (these people r so heartless), to be charged posthumously for GENOCIDE & ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE, & for DECEIVING billions of people for more than 500 years regarding the fake 'discovery'. This should duely be followed by RETURNING the land of America back to its owners; Blacks & Red Indians. Meaning that Trump too, should be deported back to Germany or Scotland, where his ancestors came from. No double standards. If one's history is fake, it sure has to change when TRUTH comes out.

Trump isn't deporting based on nationality. What you are suggesting is profiling, and this isn't the case here.\nThis is blatant misinformation! He made it very clear ALL serious criminal illegal criminal cases first, no matter where they come from. And if anyone else that isn't a criminal but still illegal get's detained and deported then oh well, they got to go, too.

Illegal means illegal no matter what part of the world they came from. Biden-Harris let in anyone, unvetted & unchecked. That proved both dangerous & expensive to our citizens & Biden-Harris also were giving illegals OUR taxpayer monies for shelter, food, medical & other things. That wasnt their monies to give & we now have a president looking out for American citizens. So, just an fyi. If you are caught by I.C.E. it could mean a permanent ban from this country. Go on your own & you could come back legally at some point. Right now all incoming is paused while Trump-Vance clean up Biden & Harris's mess!

What I don’t get is America isn’t against immigrants coming to America (the legal way) but people want to protest coming here illegally and are upset people are getting deported because they didn’t come the legal way. I work with a ton of guys that came to America the legal way and are all for deporting the illegals back to where they came from. The legal immigrants work hard and pay taxes and illegals don’t pay taxes they get benefits and haven’t paid their dues like the legal immigrants had to do to get in. Taking care of illegals takes away from Americans getting the help they need and we have to pay taxes. They protest and wave the Mexico flag holding signs saying “Immigrants built America” and $hit on the things America has done for them. If they built America and are so proud to be from Mexico then why don’t you build Mexico up like you say you did in America. If it’s so great why are you coming to America illegally and running from your country. Do you think protesting and blocking streets and highways is going to get you anywhere with Trump and do you think your going to win the American people over by pissing them off doing stupid things like blocking highways and Streets. You don’t win people over by pissing them off and you don’t win Americans over Shitting on America waving your flag when this country has done more for you then your own country. If you came here illegally and broke the law then you should’ve thought about that before doing it and being put on the ICE list.Go back and by all means come back when your legally allowed and while you wait for that to happen and the papers to go through build up your own Country!

???♥️ Thank you ice and Trump doing a beautiful job please deport All immigrants and gang members back to they country they only come here to cause trouble and please secure the border thank you ???♥️

Why bother to come in, knowing that Trump going to keep deporting them anyway. This is not a solution for them. We are not their problems solvent.

They leave their country, go to Mexico then try to illegally come into the USA. Why not stay in Mexico. The US can't even take care of its own. Trump needs to do more to protect the borders. \n The illegals that are here get more money from the government than us veterans. I can barely pay my mortgage with my social security and it's a low mortgage.

Come in the LEGAL way and you are welcome here in the USA ??! I am a 1st generation Ethiopian?? immigrant to the USA and came here legally. Legalized processes allows the US to vet each candidate ensuring safe potential immigrants. I fully suppirt this. Thank you, President Trump.

CNN said Trump ruined America, so why do they want to come?

Please come to buffalo ny these Africans and Arabs here act like they grew here and we flew here Africans here is waaay too arrogant like Americans is in their way interfering with their resources while on us soil Donald trump please come sweep buffalo ny in a hurry the immigrants needs to gtfoh using all the resources we hv

Cry your illegal eyes out boo hoo hoo. Americans are sick of you coming here and just taking and taking. Go back and make your countries better. Thank you ICE and President Trump! ??♥️??

ould it be because of Trump and his tarrif and panic set in thinking big changes are coming from Trump we better get in now. I wish them well.

“Illegal’. Is the key word. It doesn’t matter what country you came from. As President Trump has made very clear, coming to this country illegally is illegal. Hence the word illegal. \nWe actually have A LAW against it. \nIt’s the same in other countries. I’ve been to Africa and I can guarantee you I would never have been able to stay there without the legal process that Africa requires.

Dear Mr Trump when you’ve finished in the USA can you come to UK and do the same please !!!

Trump immigration law , come all

Trump your deportation day will come if people believes in the mighty spirit \nThen they must also believe that, That day nigh,

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games.

Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

There is something Canada and Mexico don't get, Trump put tariffs because of the illegal trade that comes across the borders, illegal immigrants, gangs and drugs and because he thinks, right or wrong, that Mexico and Canada don't do enough to stop it. Now Mexico and Canada put tariffs on the US, because the US puts tariffs on them, they don't even try to defend their position or debunk what trump is saying about the illegal goods coming in. Trump must be right then, no?

It's a sad situation but there are laws that illegal immigrants need to obey. What doesn't make sense to me is that everyone is blaming Trump for this move but not the previous administration for allowing illegals to come in at will. It's crazy. If that would've been handled correctly from the beginning we wouldn't be here

Okay if Trump the Imports everyone that's a immigrant there won't be nobody left to run the country who is he going to have run it robot Elon Musk Facebook inventor the rich he's going to put them in there with him to run the country and take care of the United States of America because Trump is going to send everybody back to their countries so who's going to run America because half of America is all immigrants their Heritage their families are all here without them America can't survive Aldi's American white uneducated hillbilly people that you're trying to put into the capital the White House the government are all losers sex offenders alcoholics crime criminals you release half of the criminals in prison so is that going to run the country maybe they might get mad and come up there and attack you have you ever thought about that for what you did to them with your lies you lied about winning the election and you lied about it and they all went to prison for you because you lied Mr President Trump you are you using Revenge well guess what Revenge will come back to you one day the criminals you left out are going to visit you surprise surprise????????????

Why Trump administration? It s LOW!!! We are country of immigrants, but we also country of LAW and ORDER!! Come here legally, and you will be more then welcome.

Personally, I understand where Trump is coming from in the context of deportation. However, there is a slight error in the entire scenario.\n\nThe law enforcements are picking up both documented, and undocumented immigrants, and that basically translates to something sinister attached to the whole thing.\n\nI would do it differently (Treat Each Case Separately) because not every foreigner in America is undocumented, and illegal. The records are there. America is good at keeping records.

25% is outrageously high. When it comes to the world economy, you don’t make waves. 10% should be max to start off with. I can agree with many of the changes Trump is making, but not this one.

Trudeau has resigned, and soon he is leaving. So what will be his last gift?\nHe is leaving the coming government in an economic fight of retaliation. \ninstead of leaving them on a negotiation table on how to resolve the illegal immigrants problem and fight against fentanyl drugs. \nI would prefer to find solutions on these two issues because there won't be any tarrif or money involved. but if they are starting a fight with Trump. It might involve a lot of things.\nJust look at how he frozen the federal government funds, so pick up a retaliation fight and see where it will end. \nLearn from the Colombian President. What do you have to lose? \nI FORESEE CANADA AND MEXICO ECONOMIES COLLAPSING. YOU WILL TELL ME I WAS RIGHT. DON'T FIGHT TRUMP WITH STUPIDITY OF RETALIATION.

Next is a transportation tax on all vehicles from Mexico and Canada coming into the States. TRUMP DOESN'T LOSE

Omg. Retaliation!! Retaliation!!! ?? This is what happens when people get use to getting their way. In this case countries like Canada, China and Mexico. They act like entitled children. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure President Trump saw this coming. He’s 3 steps ahead of y’all if you haven’t figured it out already. President Trump is a chess master. He’s applying the same methods that made him a billionaire on a global scale. Mark my words. Got my popcorn ready to go ??

Canada is making a huge mistake , if you guys really think Trump didn't expect canada to respond you guys have a rude awakening coming .

And duped MAGAs believe Trump!!! No duped MAGAs 90% of fentanyl comes from Americans!

Dont blame Trump for all this. Blame President Lincoln, Wilson, Taft for creating taxes. Roosevelt for enacting a bill into law for charging taxes to the American people for social security, Reagan for shutting down factories in US & leaving US to foreign Countries for cheaper cost. Bush, Obama, Biden for bad foreign trading policies & bad spending usage, budgeting of our tax payers money that put US in dept by the trillions. These past Presidents were running our Country into the ground at our expense. President Trump is getting back our Country out of Debt. Alot of reforms needs to happen. Decrease taxes on everything, make startup business easy to survive & sustain. Enact bills into laws to control all Corporations from overpricing their goods to consumers. Lower all consumer goods. Give tax breaks to all business. Taxes should come from other Countries & zero from the American peoples pockets, end to taxing the American people. ✊️

Canada needs to get all new trading partners, they need to look to Europe, Asia, and other countries. There are other markets out there, especially in the EU, where they are no longer getting energy from Russia. If Canada shows any weakness Trump will hit Canada even harder, the only why Canada stays strong and comes out ahead, is to be strong. Canada will suffer for a while, but with new trade partners, Canada will be much better off.

Imposing tariffs means ordinary Americans pay more, reducing their disposable income. And then there comes the tax cut, which disproportionally benefits the rich. This is essentially socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor. Trump knows how to make Billionaires even richer.

We here in Canada don't care about the tough times that are coming, its not the first time we have been in tough times and we are not going to bend for the united states and Donald Trump, we're taking you Americans down with us

Illegal is illegal. Send them back ALL and let them come in the legal way. Americans are tired of being drained by these people who have not contributed to our economy. They are taking bread out of our family's mouths. That includes the criminals and non-criminals alike. They are all criminals if they came in illegally. America is waking up. That is one of the reasons we voted for President Trump. Send them back.

Come on Mexico 25 % on USA ..narcissist racist ...Trump will look so weak when needs to removes them

Canada is depedent on usa. Usa isnt on canada. So canadians stop ur bulshit talk now and come to terms. Your economy will collapse soon. Trump knows that. ???

I will stop buying American goods, including the Bourbon I always used to buy, until Trump (and those who voted for him) comes to his senses.

There are about 11 million undocumented immigrants illegally in the U.S., many did come here legally on Visas but overstayed the Visa. Trump is also taking away programs that allowed people to be in the U.S. Legally and will be deporting them too. Obviously, anyone in the U.S. illegally is subject to deportation, but make no mistake, this is a Hate Campaign
