I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

someone please ask that presidential lady in mexico if she knows how we might decide to hold her and her countrymen accountable for those 300,000 Americans we loved so very much! importing death in America and then talking tough is not acceptable..

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

And the slowing and progress of Bidens economy is undermined just like that. MAGA time. I didnt know the depression and ww2 were the great times Americans voted to come back. He's bringing back the depression and ww3 like he said he wouldn't but he always wanted. Trumps goal is to bring America to her knees so Putin can have her way with her.

In 1930 American politicians decided to significantly increase tariffs \nand 25 other countries immediately responded by imposing significant tariffs\non American products and the trade war made the depression significantly worse.\n\nTrump's trade war won't likely lead to a depression but it will make things \nworse for almost everyone.\n\nExpect higher inflation, economic stagnation and also economic disruption \nas American companies can't suddenly and magically create new production \nto replace imports and can't do it as cheaply or they would already have been doing that\nand American exporters are going to face tariffs and sanctions imposed \non their products by other countries.\n\nThe extremely integrated car manufacturing industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico could be thrown into chaos.\nAn average car part crosses a border about 8 times during production.\nHow the heck do high tariffs deal with that standard car production situation?\n\nTrump would know all this if he thought about history or\nabout how the North American economy works or thought at all\nbut thinking is not something that appeals to Trump.\nInstead he just spouts out whatever random idea pops into his head \nand calls it policy.

Many of these Mexican suppliers are USA companies. The tariffs will be paid by Americans, to the American government on goods sold in America. It’s a tax increase, usually on lower income earners- as we know wealthy people won’t notice

Even as an American, I fully support Sheinbaum on this. She shouldn't take this mess from Trump, who doesn't truly know the effects of these proposed tariffs. An American politician trying to play hardball with Canada and Mexico is some nasty work.

Trump fails to understand how many cheap good the United States imports across the Mexican border on a daily basis\nI know of two companies in my area that have manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labor\nIs Trump going to carve out an exception for American companies making cheap goods in Mexico? China? Etc?

You guys will listen to anyone , but while complaining about the border; you all know to well what cause the migrations. Stop sugarcoating go straight to the point. \nNo one wants to leave their homes land taking a long distance for another country. \nYou all know what force them outdoor. \nLet me give you an example. When California's while fires start. Animals like humans beings do they stay put or run for their lives?\nThe United states is a great country. No doubt about that. Even the so called enemy of the states knows that. But the foreign policy is not that is what force people to flee their home countries. Look what happened in Haiti for example just one small island. What do you expect those people to do ? If and when you only make a real meaningful change ; people will stop. As Americans we know better and we can and should do better ❤ I all

You can tell by the comments many Americans, specially Trumpers are so clueless & obviously dont read or bother knowing how things work. Truly poorly educated ?

MAGA Americans forgot DonOLD said “Trade wars are easy” during his first abysmal term. They aren’t, but he’s too stupid to know this.

More Fentanyl comes from India than from China and you know he’s not going to say or do anything to piss them off or do anything for the American people

Mexico need to call us Americans exactly what we are: dope fiends hooked on a product we know is killing us…..and the drug is stupidly laced with fentanyl ?‍♂️.

Well the president of Mexico should just have a coke a cola that most of their people have to have or they throw a fit and need four and and love our American mad clothing and shoes and or Ford trucks and love and adore our American made movies on DVD and ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT so my president elect DONALD J TRUMP is doing the right thing and if they don't like it and won't frickin pay them I know that my president elected DONALD J TRUMP is not heartless and probably send governor Abbott's and board control ECT a lot of Coke a cola that is American made and I hope their give it them with this statement just shut the fuck up iand get the fuck out of our country you sick people and happy travels

Mexico has NOT helped a lot. You live in a fantasy. The reality is everyone knows that the cartels run that country. Trump is right and we'll see how Mexico do when American's start boycotting Mexico products. They need us more than we need them. America First!

No African should be looking for reparation when their ancestors were heavily involved in the evil act of slavery. And before you say black Americans and Caribbean people have African ancestry (you know exactly what I mean). If you can show that between 1700-1900 your great- great - great grandparents resided in the USA or Caribbean and still carry their masters last names) I feel some of you folks are rewriting history, suggesting that they should be part of the reparations. Forget it!!!! I have personally heard Africans in particular Nigerians say with their own mouths that the Caribbean people and Africans Americans lack culture but theirs was intact because they were never enslaved. Forgetting that slaving was all about dismantling these people identity/dignity so they could be controlled. Now these people who looked down on their “so called brothers” are singing a different tune. No one should receive a penny especially if you cannot show any evidence how you are linked to the plantations in the USA or the LAC region.

First of all this lady sounds bias as hell how does she know how much money it will cost and how much the US has to spend they're already throwing money away and Ukraine billions of dollars each year so that's money they gonna stop immediately. American people have already spoken. Congress is controlled by the Republicans. I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be too difficult passing any laws or restrictions to get rid of these immigrants

Does she know how much it costs American taxpayers to deport one illegal immigrant? Any clue?

Knowing that ALL white, black and asian people in the USA are IMMIGRANTS that replaced the ENORMOUS diversity of native Americans, this is HILARIOUS

Wow Mexican-American would rather support an idiot who is getting ready to Deport her very own family and she is ok with that! It goes to show how mindless his supporters can truly be! F my family Trump is the one for me! How do that work?? Wow what a sheep she is! I can see her helping whomever leads the way on these deportations by show then where he family is to help get em deported man if this is not the Devil workings I don’t know what is!

Over $50 for a case of Molsen cans is all I need to know. I am married to a Canadian (about to be American) and I really do not even wish to visit her hometown anymore. Just breathing the air is subject to tax up there. Outdoor cards for tourists just to purchase a ridiculously-priced license for fishing? The whole damn country is a racket.

Come on my land with that attitude. Texas, figure out the you're own boarder. Awwww, Texans are too lazy to do it they want the fed, awwww. Texas can remember the goddamn Alamo, but they can't remember to fix their own shit, yeah, for a state Missouri sure did get in their way of Texas plans huh. So who's sleeping with the cartel? Big Pharma, or Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Somehow, the cartel's are getting American weapons, now, imagine that. Sounds like the Southwestern boarder got a big addiction problem to feed they're fix. You know Texas, for a state that flies it's flag as high as the our American Union flag you sure do act redneck retarded with a side of incest. The southwestern states need to fix they're own boarder but, seems like they to high on drugs are simply they don't care unless it's last minute, or they don't care at all.

Don’t the Americans know their entire existence is to do with immigration we all know Americas belong to the indigenous community

She will find out soon. She's next on the list and don't even know it. She's not a Mexican American. She's an immigrant

My buddy is Native American \nHe wants to know when you All are leaving

NO MORE FREE ANYTHING! GO BACK HOME AND TRY COMING HERE THE LEGAL WAY!!! No more free money, debit cards, licences, healthcare, housing. You want to come here legally & struggle like everyone else that's fine. The American dream is no longer being given away for doing things illegally. Work for it like everyone else. Just know this. The American dream is dead for Americans. Go back home and protest the bullshit in your own country and try to make a change there.

It feels so foolish to keep trying bandaid solutions that harm the US labor pool. There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in regards to this. \n\n1. Most developed countries on earth are in the midst of or are preparing to deal with population crisis and depopulation. Strong immigration to the US stems this issue and is actually a huge advantage to the power and continuing visibility of the USA.\n\n2. Deportation and border control strike at the effect of immigration and leave the cause unharmed. People come to the USA because there's opportunities here, so why not make opportunities abroad?\n\nIf the USA were to remove benefits of dealing with china while offering massive incentives for moving manufacturing away from china directly to Latin America, not only would we be countering our Chinese dependency but we would also provide jobs at home and stem immigration. Not only that, but the businesses would be American and be controlled by Americans - a huge incentive to stay friendly to the USA.\n\nI don't know, just seems like our current policy and especially what Trump is suggesting are counter productive and stuck in a bygone way of thinking.

Love listening to non-Americans talk about our problems like they know all and know best ? and don’t get me started on them saying, “undocumented migrants” instead of saying, “illegal aliens.” Deport them all

As an American we are very relieved, here in NYC about 500,000-750,000 people are here illegally (that we know about) and they take jobs, resources, and money from actual citizens. For example they cut our schools budget to fund hotel rooms for these people. Gave them debit cards, free phones, and a whole lot more. I hope Trump does it and removes all of them, for America's sake. I say this as a 25 year old former democrat. Mass migration is a detriment to any society. Not to mention the crime and resource problems that come with it.

Besides distinguishing between legal amd illegal immigration, it would be good to know the numbers behind the types of undocumented immigrants. Many of these 11 million plus people actually belong here in the US, such as the Haitians and the Deeamers (which y'all neglected to mention). But if your asylum claim has been rejected or if you've overstayed your visa (which accounts for many), then deportation is fair. But we need a grand compromise. A path to citizenship for Dreamers and people who are under special arrangements (again, like the Haitians), deportations for most others, with a new visa regime for people who have been working in parts of the economy that - to be blunt - Americans won't.\n\nAlso, most of the people here without proper documents are Mexican. And most came through Mexico. AMLO let that happen. Sheinbaum is going to need to address that. Many Mexicans are also greatly unhappy with what's been going on for the last few years.

To all those supporting the cracking down on these ‘illegals’ there’s something I need to know. Tell me, if they folks had an option to immigrate legally, would they? Do you think it’s some kind of malicious effort to come here against the law, or are they coming here out of desperation? Many of these people come from places like Haiti, Colombia, or Guatemala. Places that the CIA and American tax dollars destroyed. Illegal immigration wouldn’t be a problem if we didn’t make the situations of many of our southern neighbors unlivable.\n\nI’m a Floridian white dude who was comparatively born with the silver spoon in my mouth, I understand America is at a point economically where the last thing we need is to be spending money on non citizens, sending billions in foreign aid abroad or on undocumented immigrants. But I also think we need to take some level of accountability for why this is even an issue. I speak Spanish as a second language, and ever since I got to communicate with many of these ‘illegals’ and got to hear from an older Guatemalan gentlemen of his time living through the American backed “Silent Holocaust” my opinion has change completely.

All I want to know is, when there are no more immigrants to do the jobs we don’t wanna do, who’s gonna replace them? Regular Americans don’t want construction, field/ crops/ farming, sanitation jobs. Jobs the government pays Pennie’s for immigrants to work. Are you gonna do it? Is your favorite congressmen gonna do it?? A lot of small business owners and ppl who like easy cheap labor is gonna be pissed so they are gonna push back.

I’m an American who voted for Harris. You just simply need to know who is entering your country and to be able to control it.

I love Americans. Although that's a general statement and just like Canada, there are jerks there just like here, for the most part I get along great with them. There are pros and cons to living in Canada and the U.S., For the most part, I believe Canada is the superior country. We have a superior healthcare system, superior banking system, superior snacks, and superior safety. However, Trudeau is killing that. He's destroyed our country to the point that one more term, and it may well be expedient to move to the USA. He's destroying our economy, our values, our culture. We have the resources to top the USA in every way, but we've never had leadership to make that happen. The U.S. has a superior economy, retail, and military. Although some may argue that the USA has superior freedoms, I'm not sure I agree with that. I know I don't feel freer when I travel there. I will definitely travel to the U.S. again. I have lots of friends there who I love and would love to see. However, it will take more Trudeau for me to want to move there. Since it looks like he's on the way out, I better just stay put at least for now.

Shes a true American citizen who is here legally, she believes people who are here illegally should have to leave, even her family. She’s actually only in the right. The illegal immigration needs to stop know matter who it is. Like thats only pure sanity, logicality, and realness. Know one should ever support illegal immigration no matter what nation you’re in, especially if its your home, each and every nation only has the resources to support its citizens, not billions of other nations citizens along with its own. America is the only nation with people who actually support illegal immigration, and thats sad.

SHE IS SO STUPID AND SO FULL OF SELF HATRED! AND THE HYPOCRISY FOR ME IS BEYOND ME YOUR NOT A MEXICAN AMERICAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GREEN CARD! SO NOW SINCE YOU HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDENCY YOU THINK THAT YOUR BETTER THAN THE OTHER MEXICANS AND OTHER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! YOU KNOW WHATS IT’S LIKE TO BE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT BUT NOW YOU WANT TO SEND THEM BACK BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENCY DUMMY YOUR JUST FULL OF SELF HATRED! ALL OF YOU TRUMP VOTERS ARE GOING TO REGRET IT ESPECIALLY THE LATINO VOTERS THAT VOTED FOR THE DUMB CONVICTED FELON! ALL ARE A BUNCH OF SELF HATRED DUMMIES!

Ohhh if it was her own child I’m sure she wouldn’t be saying that’s ok.., there are many like her out there. They get those papers and they think they work for the White House. If she would’ve visited Mexico and had a kid while visiting and didn’t have the money for a green card it would have been a completely different situation. For those just because you got your papers do you not think that there are people that came here as infants or kids to immigrant parents that came to work to provide for their kids it’s not that easy to get your green card it cost thousands of dollars. Many immigrants that I know and worked with including myself, I came here as a refugee. Immigrants are the hardest working people I know. Unfortunately a lot of the ones that came here as kids grew up in some neighborhoods that are not so great and mainly are kids that were born here that are in gangs or doing drugs or violent so don’t blame immigrants saying they bring all this with them it was already here … drugs gangs violence was already here. Gangs started in the White House with their red and blues. Then they say they are taking all the jobs.. the jobs have always been here but people that are citizens are too lazy to go get jobs or keep jobs ( not all citizens) but the ones that are complaining immigrants usually come from villages without any media or drugs or gangs ect. They simply come here for better opportunities or for jobs. They come to work not to freakin take your jobs… this country everyone is a damn immigrant this country was taken from the natives taken with violence by killing them , rapi!’ Them. And people sit here and say we are here to take back our country… ohhh please stfu!!!!! \nMajority of crimes were committed by our Americans but they look for immigrants and pin their crimes on them… Donald Duck is a damn immigrant he needs to stfu and go to sleep with his pu&@@@ grabbing tiny hands… shame on anyone that supports deportation..

Now you know how the Native American felt when the White Man came.????

They keep talking about losing a huge part of the workforce with mass deportations. So Americans aren’t looking for work? I’ve worked for Amazon for 3 and a half years now. I transferred from Va back home to ny last October. In va Americans are being hired. In ny Amazon is literally hiring nothing but Haitians. We hire a hundred and twenty people every year between July and January for prime and peek. I promise you without any iota of exaggeration, every last new hire is Haitian. I know of plenty of ppl who have applied to no avail. They really need to say if you’re American don’t apply. They get tax credits for hiring them. And because of this they do little to no work because they know nothing will happen to them. So all of the work falls on us . Out of the 120 new hires this year and last year 115 are under 27. They try to alienate us , intimidate us,and are extremely rude to anyone who isn’t Haitian. These are young people who are on straight gang time. I’m a black man telling you this and I’m from the street. It took me 6 years to finally make 20 dollars an hr, they come right over making the same as me while I’m working harder to accommodate their lack of productivity and at the same time hope I don’t lose my job for standing up to their rudeness and intimidation tactics. But the media will have ppl convinced that these are hard working meek and humble ppl just trying to make a better life for them and their families. I’m 45 years old and every year of my life we have always had a block party every summers end . For the last three years none. Because my neighborhood has been inundated with migrants who don’t care to assimilate.

? There's something really wrong with them trump supporters especially the ones who are P.O.C., deep down inside they know that trump his family/friends and white supporters don't like them so why are they supporting him? What's the reason? As an American of Mexican descent I don't understand that.

In 1955, thousands of disoriented people roamed the city’s streets as the sun bore down on them. They had just been dumped there by American immigration officials—snatched from their lives and jobs in the United States, and thrown into a city where they didn’t know anyone. Knowing as Operation Wetback

Such an evil woman though...full of envy. ??‍♀️??‍♀️She came and prosper so she's afraid that they will prosper too. ? She knows very well they cannot just apply to come and live there. That's not how it works. You will always be a foreigner, a Mexican with residency status !!! You are NOT an American.

I’m Native American and I say deport her. Yes, I’m entitled to my opinion. I’m a citizen and my people have been here for thousands of years. And, my people have been fighting for this nation even before we were considered citizens ourselves. We were employed by the U.S. Military to serve as Scouts (fighting against our own people to help the U.S. conquer-hint hint). Our languages were used to help win WWII and we have the highest enlistments by ethnic group. Most undocumented people I know are cool and they pay their dues and don’t want any problems. These ones that act high and mighty drain the life out of this country. I want to see this lady’s face when she finds out she is the wrong color according to some of her peers. Lol

I just can't believe that he's here again.I know that Americans are stupid,but I've never expected to be this stupid ???

CNN, American money you are eating. Not the illegals. Love American. crossing the border illegally, they know they are doing crimes. Crimes should be punished, not rewarded. Before crossing the borders, they should think about the family

Doesn't she know that round up applys to her she wasn't born here .Unbelievable ? your not Mexican American Viejas Pendeja .Educate your self on his policy By felisha ?

Is the goal to deport every undocumented person or to destroy our economy? Seems they will achieve both at the same time. I wonder how many Trump supporters know that Trump properties still avoid hiring Americans. Even Truth Social outsources their coding to Mexico. Trump hates hiring American workers. MAGA is only for him, not you.

This woman knows nothing about American history. She thinks she got in because she stood I line . They would send her back to the Mexico in a heartbeat
