They will find it unaffordable here just as those of us born in Canada do. They will be heavily taxed and struggle with their Walmart and Tim Horton's jobs to save enough for a down payment on a house that is only a small bungalow, yet costs half a million dollars. Maybe they haven't realized it's not all that great living in Canada.

Attention all illegals trying to get into the US. \nGOOD NEWS = The Trump Government is now offering you free plane rides home to visit your families. All paid for by American tax payers. \nThen you can come back again and again, with more free rides home each time you get caught . \nNow you have even MORE of an incentive to come to America illegally. \nYes, American Trump supporters are that stupid!!!

As far as healthcare goes the US is a 3rd world country, where, only the rich can afford to see a doctor, or visit a hospital. You have thousands of people living on the streets, with NO help, or concern. America is no different than Bangladesh, or Ethiopia, for having a part of your society living on the street, begging for food, or money. When the US starts caring for ALL of it's people, regardless of skin color, race, or background, and give them a hand up, like most CIVILIZED societies do, you'll always be a 3rd world country. America had a chance to elect a president that would have turned America into a first world power with Kamala Harris, and Tim Waiz, but, you blew it, you re-elected the worst president, EVER with trump, who will finish the job of ruining America, and make it totally poverty-stricken. WOW, you'd think Americans are all millionaires, the way they turned out, for trump! Did NONE of you listen to what Kamala was offering? Because this half blind, mostly deaf old Canadian heard every word, her promise of a bottom-up building more opportunities for poor, and working class families, new taxes on the rich, and corporations to pay for it. Kamala offered a GREAT deal, a more secure future, more OPPORTUNITIES,,,,, And you all turned her down. You voted for a stalker and rapist, a traitor, and criminal, with multiple convictions, a liar, and cheat, trump. I guess you get what you deserve.

Yeah they are 70 s so they will want to stay for free healthcare…. Seniors discounts and benefits and money from government that Canadian people paying taxes for them.

This ain’t good!!\nAs an American citizen that’s pays taxes I hornslty feel so bad for these people \nYet I would say the democrats r pure evil for allowing this happen and instigating this to occur- they wanted more iligals for more votes and u see this occur \nDemocrats should be dragged to the border and forced to watch the fruit of their policies \nYet I’m sure they r in Ghana or so where abroad

Ignorance and hate in these comments is depressing. Many of these people are escaping horrible, dangerous places. \nI see taxpayers, cleaning our rooms, harvesting our food, not criminals. \nThe Border Bill sunk by Trump last year would have dispositioned asylum seekers before they could enter. Any criminals would have been seen. \nWe will soon see food prices go up and taxes paid going down. \nUndocumented immigrants pay100 billion in federal and local taxes each year, and most will not be getting Social Security on these wages.

This is the United States problem why!? And these shitty ass country's are sending there worst people over here! These people got the idea in there head from the Biden administration that they can just come over here and we'll take care of them and they won't have to work, pay taxes, or do anything! There getting there wake up call. Go back to t he country your from. Were they lived there entire life! I honestly dont get what the problem is! These Lib's are either nuts or just absolutely hate our country! Or maybe both!

Im mexican n ill tell you i understand why they are coming but its bullshit. My family did it right they didnt sit n cry n bitch about shit for hand outs they worked multiple jobs to suport family pay taxes ect. These mfs just want free shit u can tell

It is insane. Me and my husband paid few hundred thousands on taxes the last year. For what ? To feed those people who commit crime? It is very simple for me- crossing the boarder illegally is a crime.\nMe and my husband both paid our immigration fees when we did our immigration. Why we have to support that nonsense ??

Canadian Government is sleeping unfortunately to welcome more refugees as guest and provide them facilites by using tax payers money. Such a shame on dumb politicians. Ruined our Canada

What do they expect? To be treated first class on a plane? Not paying taxes, getting jobs thats not for them. Its about time! I got no sympathy for the people who doesnt abide by the law of a host country. I wish canada will do the same

25% tax on cocaine

America..fuck yeah..coming again to tax the mutha fucking world yeah..trump has robbed the American taxpayer all his life..now it's the worlds turn

While I do not condone what she did I also do not agree that buying housing as an investment should be allowed either. If this country had a surplus of housing then investment could be allowed. However this is not and has not been the case. This is one reason why many Canadians can not afford to purchase housing. Invest in something that does not hurt the economy and those around you. If you invest in housing and loose don't come crying to me. You took the risk, like any other investor and lost. That's the game. Now you want my tax dollar to bail you out.

Make my coffee more expensive again kkk. Trump fools. More taxes, more inflation.

Dear tax payer. These flights which get turned around cost you...cost tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve nothing. \nWe're now effectively giving migrants free theme park rides lol

Its not retaliatory... are you guys slow or thinknyour viewers are? Its a retard tax because they refused to take back their own citzens... but guess what they ended up taking their criminals back now didnt they? Stop reporting dumb crap and trying to title it and spin it in a way itll feed the morons that watch you and let you form their opinions for them, oh wait thats the goal i forgot

Another similarity that can trip up first time visitors. The price you see is often not the price you have to pay. Both countries often add taxes to the purchases. That $10 item becomes $11 in the US or $11.50 in Canada. In most other countries taxes are included in the posted price.

Trump is stupid. The taxes is not going Columbia . Trump voters your food is going up not down as you voting for

This fits Trump's narrative too well. CNN coverage has changed since ownership switched hands. We knew it would be gradual perceptive switch but it has indeed fallen from the standards of the past. Closer to a fox for the next caste up. You only know what you are shown. You work the same job and see the same people. If you watch the same news outlets you are exposing yourself to information crafted from the same perspective. My world is small vs reality and yours is too. Think about the decades of Americans trying to keep them out, investing money in walls and barriers and wire when we could have helped stabilize these countries to where these guys wouldn't feel like they HAD to come here to live with dignity. All To be treated like this. We have had decades to fix the problem acknowledge the root problem, but we spend our tax money, time, and efforts reapplying bandaids and barriers at the border.

If we’re expected to care for another nations citizens, then it is certainly fair for us to tax them

The two flights to Mexico that got turned away carried less than 100 migrants cost US taxpayers $900,000! CNN might want to mention that. Drumpf used expensive military jets because he just couldn't wait for CBP jets (because he wanted a photo shoot!). He should have to pay for the extra cost out of his pocket, not ours. What will it cost to take migrants back to China? Tax cuts for the billionaire broligarchs cost US money. Using C-130 aircraft is overkill and affects military readiness. Threatening tariffs on our allies is going to spark trade wars. He's a moron.

Americans cant buy food.....they taxed to death to support the people were trying to support! Do some research and leaen how things work

You don’t want to meet our demands? Ok, we’re going to tax you 25%!!! Take that!!!! Boom, genius level!

Great. We can cancel income taxes in the united states, and repay the national debt, end the drug wars, and deport criminals. Sounds like this is good. CNN is biased and really wants to manipulate this to be s bad thing.

lol all the tariffs is just tax on us Americans to fund government craziness and deficit.

good luck taxing coke lol?

What’s the nightmare? There just be returned home. If they had been smart. They would have brought good things to the table, pay their taxes and give back to the community.\nIce without a warrant? That’s a laugh, this is Federal,

Keep them OUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. Im tired od my tax $$ being given to them when our own Sr Citizens cant afford yo but goid or medicine. KEEP THEM OUT!!!!

I was born and raised in America on 56 years old and I can't even get an apartment and hear they're giving these immigrants 68,000 and 6 months to live on just handed to them for free. And I can't even get my tax refund that they owe me from 2018 $5,000 because I have to prove that it's me and they're giving me such a hard time they keep saying no it's not you answer these questions wrong. Whatever freaking Biden Harris just destroyed this country in 4 years

Columbia will never pay anything. WE WILL PAY THIS TAX! Idiocracy!

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

He taxing that ass lmao I ain’t mad.

its funny that americans think that 25% tax is going to be paid by the exporting country hahaha..25% more tax when you buy those goods..your president is ripping you off ahaha

CNN Let ask you how much is the tax payer paying per person that broke the law to get here

How is it a tariff on Columbia its a tariff on the American people because it is they who will pay the tariff a tax on American people You still buy bananas and coffee and Columbian oil causing inflation and higjer prices on the American people?

Please research what a tariff is before commenting. It's not a tax other countries pay to us.

I don't understand the point the Colombian president was trying to make. It doesn't matter what kind of planes are used to transport them, those people broke the law and their actions are costing American tax payers thousands of dollars. Why did it take tariffs for him to offer his own plane?

We let this shit happen that when you want to give free money housing health able to pop out 10 kids and pay for everyone , while we the tax payers have to eat it and stay quiet . We the legal business owner have to settle for what ever we are offered for a job to get by cause there is always someone gonna do it for 10 times less when it could be paid to the people the holds licenses. We don’t get money in the back or a card every month for food we are denied , am vets a getting the bear minimum, and the piece of food is not changing ,

At this point put 1000% tax on all the world Donald

oh yeah tax them big

If i was trump i will have mercy on undocument immigrants and make a deal for tgem to work and pay tax but the border i will close.

Glad I don't drink coffee.\nCocaine or remaining the same price it's not taxed anyway

The administration should be taxing all the non being sent from here to other countries

he so dumb..he acts without looking into anything..costing tax payers millions to use military for deportation...you wanted him now ull pay for it..tarriffs means tarriffs right back at you..america will suffer more than colombia w tarrifs

Wrong! It doesn’t cost Americans more when a tariff is placed. It forces the incoming product manufacturer to lower its costs so people will still buy, and if people still buy, the percentage of tariff will fund the us government vs our income taxes. If they don’t lower their costs, they risk people not buying which hurts their business and hurts the country they are in because they don’t make as much money to send taxes to their country’s government

Churches do not pay taxes, that includes import taxes like terriffs. I have a strong feeling a whole bunch of religions are about to popup in America.

High Tariffs mean my federal taxes will be lowered :)

People, Tariffs on imported goods is a tax on us.

This is a much easier fix than what’s being portrayed. We need to make the ability to become a temporary citizen easier than it is. Background checks, usable skills, and political or criminal affiliation. If it’s not possible to access, so is your entry. I support my president and my nation completely and yet I still understand that the deplorable conditions of these broken nations is something I too would want to escape from. By making it so impossible to legally enter, we’re funding the criminals who will do so illegally. \n And can we talk openly about the real issue as well? It’s time for the U.S to clean house too. Government officials taking bribes from the Cartels and making it harder for us to put safety measures in place. We have to stop being in business with these criminal elements. I get it, the money’s being used to fund our military initiatives that tax dollars can’t, like in the 80’s with Contra, but how many U.S lives have to be lost to secure a foreign policy???
