Seems like an attempted land invasion. They know theyre commiting a crime crossing illegally so they group up thinking force and numbers will allow them to commit the crime of illegally entering the country. If you call j6 an insurrection when nobody had a gun, then this is an attempted invasion of our country. Load up and let it fly

There is no country in the world that allows any foreign without papers... The US seemed to be the only one

Not an invasion the left says... we'll seems like an invasion to me.

Does he actually believe what he is saying. Seems to go against everything that America stands for. No more land of the free.

Poland seems to have cured this

Ok so, there's seemingly 1 success story. I'll give this man/woman the benefit of the doubt. But, ONE??? That proves nothing. I'm a vet, and I certainly would not want to serve under a freak show tranny.

Trump is targeted all illegal immigrants it makes no difficulty on Africa Jamaica if you illegal you got the go I am black but I'm America black if I was illegal I would be hit to go to but I got a Social Security number I worked in United States on my line and I'm born here in legal I want people can't seem to get that you can't come here illegally from another country looking for a better life but you going to do it illegally you're going to look for a better life illegally How can you look for a better life illegally

??, It seems Some people forget that America was built and still building on Immigrants Whether Voluntary or Forced, Whether Legally or Illegally, Some Laws need to be Added to stop the Abuse of the 14th Constitution, Some Laws need to be Added to Stop the abuses of Benefits by Healthy Able Bodies People WHO can work but whether abused the System from generation to generation to generation of Families Members, who never work a day in their life, etc like the timeless African Proverb said- If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem ??

The only reason you're seeing this right now is because the media was hiding or downplaying it the whole 4 years Biden was in office , and only a problem worth showing to make it seem like it's Trump's fault?

They don’t want to do anything for themselves. They seem to want a handout. Delusional!

Your news channel seems to be very leftist.

they seem so lawful tho

Seems they didn't get the memo

The media seems to not or REFUSE to understand that American tax payers r in debt due to Biden's RECKLESSNESS...!!.. we CANT help others if we cant help ourselves...!!... Y is this NOT sinking in...!!!.. STOP FEAR MONGERING... THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN..!!!

It sounds like this video is referring to people fleeing oppressive or difficult conditions in their home countries rather than staying and fighting back. If you’re talking about Venezuela and Hugo Chávez’s legacy, there are a few reasons why people might choose to leave rather than resist:\n\t1.\tGovernment Repression – The Venezuelan government, under both Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro, has cracked down on opposition, jailing political opponents, suppressing protests, and using the military to maintain control.\n\t2.\tLack of Resources – Many people in Venezuela are struggling just to survive due to hyperinflation, food shortages, and a collapsing economy. When basic necessities are scarce, organizing resistance becomes incredibly difficult.\n\t3.\tFear for Safety – Speaking out against the government or organizing opposition can lead to imprisonment, torture, or even death. Many people, especially those with families, may feel that fleeing is the only safe option.\n\t4.\tCorruption and Military Loyalty – The government has secured its hold by ensuring loyalty from the military and key institutions through financial incentives and control over resources. This makes any organized resistance much harder.\n\t5.\tHope for a Better Future – Many people feel they have a better chance at a stable, prosperous life by leaving rather than staying in a country where the political situation seems unlikely to change soon.\n\nFighting a government isn’t as simple as just deciding to resist—especially when the government has control over the police, military, and economy. For many, leaving is the only realistic option.

Sorry, this is a major fail CNN. Integrity of service does not seem to matter to these misfits. Go bring your transgender somewhere else, not in our US military please. FAR TOO MUCH CONTROVERSY AND AN ATTACK ON ESPIRIT DE CORPS

Thank you for speaking out loud! Nothing against Muslims or anything but it seems that our cultures cannot cohabit.. Nobody is winning in a scenario where you can't be yourself and we have to completely revisit our ways of living to accomodate yours. You have a beautiful family and deserve to live happy. May God be with you?✨

For you people who can’t seem to get your act together, it is an attempt at an invasion. But the border has stopped it so far.

It seem that the biggest issue on the planet is really trying to find solutions to an over populated burden that comes from the one nation that never stops the interbreeding of there own bloodlines.

This may be fake...idk...seems like a rouse for the T to look good.

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.

Seems like we would want to anyone who wants to serve their country. Unlike the current president who did NOT want to serve his country. And DEI and all of the other MAGA boogeyman concerns are miniscule. They are making a mountain out of molehill.

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

He seems to like Biden a lot….!

Conservatives: “Tax payer money can’t pay for this!”\n\nOK, well you don’t seem to complain when tax payer money funds Viagra for male veterans, or birth control for female veterans, which btw costs THE EXACT SAME as hormones for transition.

Benjamin seems to be stuck on Biden being president!?

Obama deported more than any other president, including Trump. So, how come deporting criminals, in this case, seems to be a problem?

If you have a penis but you believe youre a woman you arent a mentally stable person. Thie transgender were looked at as perverts. Now you get to choose your own pronouns and expect me to share in your delusion that you are a different sex than what youre born with. That you too as a transgender female can get periods or pregnancy. Its ludicrous. These people need mental health. Not cutting off perfectly healthy body parts. Sex change operations do not chane your gender. It's a dangerous game to play with the rest of your life . Nobody said puberty was easy but its part of the human experience. Becoming an adult has to happen.To take the poison of hormones you will become barren. For these kids cutting yourself uo seems to be ok. Its insanity. Only disturbed people cut off parts of their body. Especially the amount of men castrating themselves. WTF? This has gone to far and Im glad to see a change with Trump in office now

It seems wrong a draft dodger makes a decision on a true warrior.

These seem like civil people, come on in…

People mad that we are going to tariff (tax) other countries who benefit from doing business with the U.S. but okay with the government placing tarrifs on our own peoples income for working and contributing to the local economy through commerce. Tariffs seem more fair. At least if they want to reduce the spending they do less business with the U.S. we have to work for an income to even live here. We have zero choice about income tax and in fact, can be jailed for being unable to pay it.

You have got to have a clear mind and no mental issues to be in the army this guy seems to be mentally ill

When this person is addressing this is issue it seems to be normal. Can women serve in the military? Yes! The deal is transgenderism. Who voiced this stupidity of gender transition in children? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. Who advocates for children using puberty blockers? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. Who is advocating for bathroom use? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. Who is advocating for drag queens reading for your children and elementary school, some books that are like a molestation towards a child? Transgenders advocates just like this “commander”. What he can or cannot do in an airplane is not my concern at this time. My concern is many of the problems we have today is not coming from those who conform but from those who wants to flip things over. Thanks for your services but take a leave and please don’t come back “commander”.

Imagine being too dumb to realize this is what cost you the election? Keep playing that tiny violin, sure seems to be working great for you?

Actually to tell you the truth, the cost of housing is about equivalent or a little cheaper when you do the currency conversion, in Canada and the United States. Toronto and Vancouver (which seems to be the primary examples here) are significantly cheaper than New York but the most expensive in Canada. This post is way over the top, exaggerating the situation in Canada.

Our military has enough problems.Why would they want this one???? Seems like everybody just wants to make the world more complicated.....

I don't think any amount of pleading is going to have any effect. He seems to have made up his mind.

It seems to me all the resistance and cruelty to transgender people comes from a lack of grit and ability to see and acknowledge difference. It's not strength to reject difference, it's weakness. It's simply people chosing to judge something they do not want to understand. And what's sad, is this movement is threatening to turn back the cultural clock to a time where fundamentalism and black and white thinking rules -its sad times indeed. I'm a veteran btw.

CNN hosting a transgener person seems to be a last ditch effort to strattle the line of right, freedom, humanity and respect and absolutely wrong in bias, spin and trump coddling

what is the opposite of anti woke & anti Transgender ideology? it almost seems like a crime if you're normal.

anyone that confused doesnt seem to have their priorities straight....

Finally found something I agree with Crenshaw on. Shilling is a great example of why Trans have to go - I would never want to serve with a dude like this and neither it seems, would 99% of the rest of America’s potential fighting force. He’s a recruitment killer.

Thank you for advocating for our community. I’m 71, transgender, and this administration’s rhetoric is deeply troubling to me. I can only imagine how a young transgender person or those who are serving our nation must be feeling. I have a YouTube channel, and up to now I receive very little attention about who I am. I’ve been growing my channel and enjoy making videos about “what’s next” None of them have to do with my gender. My subscribers /viewers seem to like my content despite my being transgender my comments are very respectful and supportive of my content. I hope that trend continues. People fear what they don’t know.

Never heard about this Qardun coin until Trump endorsement but seems like it has some utility at least

These people are part of the reason why we lost to the election. Every time that they are highlighted, you irritate the other voters that are now happy with their vote. Even though that vote is tearing the rest of their lives apart. This country is so divided for so many crazy reasons. It seems like a new reason.Pops up everyday

Why all of a sudden all these Venezuelan people coming to the USA? I’ve never seem so many people desperately coming in to our country like this. I feel bad but it’s waaayy to many of them

There are a lot of decent countries that speak the same language and have very similar cultures between Venezuela and the US. It would make starting your life over so much easier so that really begs the question why are they making that dangerous journey to the US? Seems really odd to me. Almost like there's something else going on.

This seems to be deliberate from the side of the leaders in those countries. How can any leader of any country subjects their citizens to this level of humiliation.

I seems Venezuelan population includes people from every central and south American country. They all say they are from Venezuela ?
