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

If you came to America illegally, you committed a crime, and you need to go, PERIOD! Respect America and take all the LEGAL steps to be here. No other country allows this! They get free medical, housing, EBT cards, and IPhones! Americans are struggling, losing jobs, their cars, and houses, and many can barely feed their kids. We are tired of our tax dollars going to support immigrants. Take care of home first!

God Bless You Mr President Donald J Trump. Good job Mr President Donald J Trump. All illegal immigrants please send back. America First. MAGA Mr President Donald J Trump!!!

This isn’t illegal immigration anymore, it’s a hostile invasion, treat it accordingly.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.. stop telling lies

South Africa should also depart the illegal immigrants, we know who, that have stolen people’s lands and jobs.

If they came in illegal, they should be. Legal immigration exists.

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.

It has nothing to do with illegal immigration or drugs into the US. The Canadian border is only responsible for 1% of illegal immigration into the US. As for fentanyl, the problem is not coming from Canada.

We’ve been watching our country being flooded with illegal immigrants ever since Reagan did the first amnesty bank in the early 80’s, so there’s not much sympathy left.

Hallelujah get them all out of here all the illegal immigrants out

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.

Illegal immigrants!!! Must go. \n( Color not included)

What happens to Europeans/Whites Illegal immigrants no deportation for them?

There are so many barely making it in the US. already. Having illegal immigrants would just make it worst.

Canada here,,the only reason any of this is happening is numbnuts is n't doing his part to deal with illegal immigrants at the borders,,that is what Trump wanted, that is why,

If they are non citizens, send them to their home country. Its nothing to do with race, it illegal immigrants.

Stop drugs flowing ? Nope. Trade war. \nStop illegal immigrants? Nope. Trade war.

one of the stated reasons for Trumps tariffs is to get Canada and Mexico to stop illegal immigration and to stop drug trafficking into the US

I don't think the average viewer knows why the US is doing this. They're trying to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl as well as Mexican compliance with the drug cartels.\n\nThe reason tariffs are being used is because America is in a very powerful position when it comes to trade. The american economy doesn't rely on trade like Canada (67%), Mexico (73%) and China (37%). American trade accounts for only 24% of its massive GDP. if you removed all trade from america, it would still have larger economical output than china, mexico and canada COMBINED. yes. Combined. \n\nFurthermore, Canadian trade with america account for almost 80% of all trade in canada. A 25% increase would be absolutely devastating to canada. In america its about 13% so a 25% increase would cost more but it wont have any significant impact.\n\nNo doubt this tarrif war will cause far more problems for canada mexico and china than america. By a LOT. \n\nI dont think america is being selfish either. China does nothing to protect america from sending precursor chemicals to america to manufacture fentanyl. Canada facilitates illegal immigration and fentanyl into america with no accountability. And mexico is illegal immigrants by the MILLIONS and is literally working with the drug cartels. If they sort out those issues the trade war ends. \n\nI think america has every right to go to war to protect its sovereignty and its people.

There are more than only a 1000 illegal African immigrants

México is at fault by letting the illegal immigrants cross their southern border. The level of corrupted politicians in Mexico is higher and higher every new term! And I am Mexican.

Amazing both Canada and Mexico prefer tariffs instead of curtailing the drug and illegal immigration. \nWe are with President Trump.

13 million illegals led into this country by the Biden dictatorship. That’s 13,000 fentanyl pushing immigrants from Canada and they don’t think it’s anything Trump and America should worry about. Maybe Trump should take those 13,000 drug dealers and ship them back to Canada? You deal with your own trash Canada, tariffs are being imposed because you expect America to continue to pay for you and fix your mistakes. Unlike what media is telling you Trump does have the full force of America on his side.

I mean really, if trump actually cared about drugs and illegal immigrants crossing our borders, why wouldn’t he actually try to work with Canada and Mexico instead of jumping straight to this? I mean sure, you could argue that Canada and Mexico didn’t help curb that stuff during bidens tenure. But this just seems like an unnecessary escalation that doesn’t even directly address the border issues. It’s all b.s.

Poland has the correct response to illegal immigration!

If you want to stop illegal immigration require employers to have an ID on file for anyone they hire and confiscate any business that fails to do so. If you want to stop opiate overdoses, stop pharma companies from bribing doctors to prescribe then. If you want to stop your economy just keep on Trumping.

It's illegal African immigrants, don't be fake news like CNN

Most people in the comments section are delusional. Trump is removing the illegal immigrants. I mean try illegally entering my country you will be slapped out of it. America tolerating this kind of nonsense for so long has washed off it’s public of common sense and rational thinking.

Trudeau was warned months ago by Trump. Stop the drugs & illegal immigration

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

lmao watch how this plays out my bet is canada and mexico folds its not a hard request by trump, stop illegal flow of illegal immigrants into the us from the canadian and mexican borders \nlets see got my popcorn here

The trouble with political commentators is they try to think like a politician? Trump is not a politician! So think like a businessperson, its the deal and what is the best deal for the USA. At present he is the catalyst for many things and the most worried are the politicians and a lot of their lucrative deals they have made, in most cases not to the benefit of the country! In fact, it does America a favor, so if it becomes cheaper to make it at home, guess what? That's what they'll do, create investment, employment, greater wealth etc! And like most media outlets, they like to mix facts up, its not drugs from the north thats the problem. What Trump is implying is that Canada is aiding and abetting illegal immigration to another sovereign country via government policies! Plus the Trump administration is transporting illegals back to their country of origin rather than to the last country that harbored them! And the common theme is, the people suffer for what?

I‘m sure there will be other countries that can replace Canada and Mexico imports. It’s an opportunity really. Canada and Mexico just need to stop the fentanyl and illegal immigrants, or are they saying they can’t manage these.

I dont rhink we said we r deporting Mexicans only .we said we will be deporting all illegal immigrants in this country .

Isn't illegal immigrants coming into the US the responsibility of US Border Service Land Sea and Air??\n\nIt's very clear that some of your border agents are on the take \n\nToo Funny

Illegal immigrants causing problems wherever they go

TBH, drugs and illegal immigrants come through these two countries into the US, so without really thinking Americans shouldn't find this move wrong. The economy will be fine.

Canada and Mexico have no commitment to reducing Illegal immigration,fentanyl smuggling, and human trafficking. They are corrupt as China and Russia.

Mr trump on his first day said that he is a peacemaker and want the world to stop the fight. He will stop russia ukraine war etc \n\nSo then he chose to put tariffs on canada and at the end who is going to get sufffer Americans what a joke of a person trump is then saying something and creating problem for own people.\nThe reasons that he is giving of putting tariffs has no relation to tariffs.\nIf he geniunely wants illegal immigrants n drugs to stop in US then rather working on border or asking canadins ministers to put xtra protection on borders \nHe choses tariffs\nTotally nonsense person

The story told by DJT is all BS. Less than 1% of illegal immigrants and fentanyl come from Canada\nInto the US.

Canada fails to stop illegal immigration? How TF does that even happen when Canada is hemmed in by USA? The Greenlanders/Icelandics going to US to look for jobs?!? *Insert confused Jackie Chan picture here*

The U.S. government decided to deport illegal immigrants, though some may see this as a positive move.Apart from this, many other decisions have been horrific. Nobody anticipated that things would go this far, straining relations with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, consumers like us in the U.S. and Canada will have to bear the consequences.I am asking—who is ultimately going to suffer? What can the government really achieve in just four years? This seems like a systematic way to devastate the U.S. economy. What about us, the consumers? Nobody in the White House or any government office is addressing this. Why isn’t the President talking about the impact on consumers? Prices will skyrocket multiple times over, and we, the consumers will face unprecedented price hikes with no alternative .What a pityy that who all voted for this . .

Hmm, well canada can stop the illegal immigration coming through into the US. Trump will drop the tariffs. So simple. But they ignore the main point

Canada and Mexico need to do a better job at controlling illegal immigration and stopping drugs from entering America

Canada and Mexico were BOTH warned about the tarriffs because of illegal immigration and drugs entering the States BECAUSE OF CANADA AND MEXICO.. it is no wonder that USA are doing this to you, quit complaining and learn that you CANNOT comply with illegal behaviour!

For a start I'm thinking of all that farmland in CA that will have water and a good reason to grow crops now because of Trump and the increase of jobs when we have to make our own stuff.\n However, I am in favor of letting Canada sell their goods in China or Russia since that is likely where all the fentanyl and illegal immigrants are coming from and I know 1% doesn't sound big when DW says it but with an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in America from the Biden admin alone that would be 150,000 from Canada.

Its a bit of a headscratcher why US is imposing heavy handed tariffs on Canada if illegal immigration and drug trafficking from Canada is not that high. Almost seems like a personality issue - Trump doesnt like Trudeau bcoz he made fun of him or something..

What did Canada do wrong? Did trump want them to build a border wall to keep Americans from immigrating to Canada illegally?

Drug trafficking and illegal immigration a. re not the reasons. Less than 1% of immigrants and drugs enter through Canada. He's just crazy.
