I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Can Trump Become a Dictator Like Putin? \nTrump has authoritarian tendencies, but turning the U.S. into a full dictatorship like Putin’s Russia would be extremely difficult. Here’s why: \n1⃣ The U.S. Has Strong Institutional Barriers \nUnlike Russia, where Putin gradually dismantled democracy, the U.S. has checks and balances (Congress, courts, states, the military). \nTrump tried to challenge the system, but courts often ruled against him, showing that he doesn’t have full control. \nTo become a true dictator, he would need to take over the judicial system, military, and elections—none of which are fully in his hands. \n? Example: \nTrump lost multiple court cases on election fraud claims, proving he does not yet have absolute control. \n2⃣ He Lacks Full Control Over the Military & Law Enforcement \nPutin controls the Russian military and secret police, allowing him to silence opposition. \nIn the U.S., the military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not the president. \nTrump tried to use the military against protesters, but military leaders refused, signaling that they wouldn’t blindly follow him. \n? Example: \nOn Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged an attack on the Capitol, but the military did not intervene on his behalf. \n3⃣ American Democracy is Deeply Embedded in Culture \nUnlike Russia, where people are used to strongmen leaders, Americans are culturally resistant to dictatorship. \nU.S. citizens, journalists, and activists openly resist government overreach, making it harder for an authoritarian to rise. \nFree press and independent media make it difficult to spread unchecked propaganda the way Putin does in Russia. \n? Example: \nTrump was impeached twice, showing that Congress still holds power over the president. \n4⃣ Trump’s Path to Dictatorship Would Require More Control Over Elections \nPutin rigged elections, eliminated opponents, and rewrote laws to stay in power. \nTrump has tried to change voting laws and delegitimize elections, but the system still blocked him. \nIf Trump could fully control elections, he could remove opposition and rule indefinitely. \n? Example: \nHe’s trying to install loyalists in key election positions for 2024, but this does not guarantee full control. \n5⃣ Could He Still Try? Yes. Could He Succeed? Unlikely (For Now). \n✔ Trump has authoritarian instincts and wants more power. \n✔ He is trying to weaken institutions to increase control. \n✔ But the U.S. system makes dictatorship much harder than in Russia. \n✔ Unless he completely controls elections, the courts, and the military, he cannot rule like Putin.

Justin Trudeau is a clown take it from a Canadian who knows an idiot we he see one Justin Trudeau policies are failures leaving law abiding citizens defenseless against criminals but letting hard criminals out on bail and flooding our country with followers of Islam who hate west and the Christians Christians

Well, I was really interrupted, but my thing is with. Why does the taxpayers have to continue to keep paying out the government's debt? I don't understand these rich billionaires. Don't want to pay their taxes. And then you guys blamed the middle class and the average payers. It's time that the middle class and average payers start going after the government to change your laws or be able to take these people that don't agree with the people that they paid to take care of the United States to get to my office and put someone that does care about the people in. Our country, that's what my whole thing's about right now and Donald Trump don't care. He wants to become a dictator and keep telling you guys and his followers are doing the same. It's time to go after the Republican office that Donald Trump has put together even with Leona's and take all his contracts away from Leon musk and see where he goes now. Instead of charging Leah, unless the area says he uses about 10 times a amount of rental space to do his work. That's what I gotta say, because that's what you guys are doing to the average worker and middle class to pay your guys's b******* bill.\nAnd that's my opinion like it ornet you fucking thieves

Pardon me. Every country has the right to protect its borders and to ensure immigration laws are followed. When there’s a disregard for the rules everyone suffers unfortunately.

Rules have to apply same to everyone. If these fake students will get away with fraud, million more will come to try the same. They should have to follow immigration rules and law and if immigration tells them that they are not eligible, then they have to go back and prepare better or try somewhere else or work at home.

Shackled and shuffling. Illegal is illegal. Stay out and don't come back. Fix your own country, be proud, work hard, and follow immigration laws. Taking US jobs. Danger ahead⚠️

Immigration needs to be extremely limited. Germany should be for Germans, China should be for Chinese people, Kenya should be for Kenyans, etc. People should be able to visit whatever country they want if they follow the law, but we should preserve cultures. Globalism sucks.

People who came to the USA unlawfully will be deported. She followed the law and entered the country legally and is now an American citizen.

Anyone who thinks this is okay & feel that these people are just looking for a better life by breaking a US law the second they put their feet on American soil, think of your children, grandchildren, and all future relatives. If you can't sympathize for your own, then appreciate the Americans who do love their children and grandchildren and future relatives! I'm pretty sure my own ancestors didn’t live in poverty and work in the most dangerous jobs in order to make it easy for criminals who expect a hand out after breaking the law and cutting in front of the immigrants who are following the rules & laws! They are welcomed here! You criminals aren't!

Adams stance is this: He wishes for the law to be enforced, because he knows the damage it has caused to the city of NY, which he was elected represent, and the citizens whom he has the charge and duty of safety and maintenance. But he's been ham-strung because of the leftarded Governor, Hochul. He wants to follow the desire of his constituency, but cannot because the Sanctuary City Status is out of his control, because of Hochul. Tom Homan stance is this: If that's truly the crux of the situation, then you will do everything within your power to assist the Federal Government Law Enforcement Efforts. To hinder any effort would be seen as a criminal act, and he would be the first to feel the axe. Hochul is next. So, yeah...whether he's cooperating because he truly wants Law and Order, or to save his own arse. I care not, either way, so long as the job is done.

Any New Yorker that wants illegals in nyc can invite them to live with them in their own homes and pay for them. Good Luck\nWe have immigration laws that need to be followed. \nSame like stopping for a red light not shoplift or commit violent crimes. We have laws we follow.

The progressives need to find a different country to live in. Their hope is to destroy America. American citizens need to pushback and stand for things that are right and good for all. Illegals do not have a right to be here and take our resources for free. Follow the federal laws of the land. Those harboring illegals will be arrested and put in jail. It is the law.

New Yorker’s we need to take back our state. Stop\nvoting Leftist Democrats in our state. It will never change if we don’t. \nHochul needs to be fired, along with James and Bragg, Dem legislatures and city council members who are leftist need to go as well. We need good governance from Republicans that will clean up crime and our cities from corruption and follow Federal laws about immigration. Bring back wealth.

It sounds like the bus companies are not following the laws of our land. They are abetting criminals while in the commission of a crime. Why are criminal charges not being brought against the bus companies?

We need a task force to focus on the taxi drivers and bus drivers who are picking up the illegals at the border. Also we will have to charge some politicians for not following federal law.

If NYC cannot follow federal law (no one is above the law, remember) then NYC does not get federal monies. EZ clap.

It’s about time, we need to do better! We can do more and continue to be diligent! This is just one of the many reasons we need to do more to improve the immigration system. NYC council needs to follow the law and drop this crusade of allowing illegals in without doing the proper steps! Hopefully POTUS can lead the charge to overhaul the immigration system and make it work better!?

I am always amazed at how these poverty stricken people have so much funds to enter the US illegally but somehow don’t have the funds to follow immigration laws, complete the documents and pay the filing fees. People can come from all over the world to enter illegally yet how many Americans can afford to travel to a foreign country?

Follow the money. Local NGOs & the private sector “service provider” networks are raking in those millions. ALL services provided illegals are funded by local, Federal tax payer funds. For Community non profit agencies, Faith based organizations, advocacy groups Its all about the Benjamins…not about altruistic do gooders. If the vast amounts of money wasn’t available these “Sanctuary Cities & services would disappear. Follow the money. Cut it off. Anyone aiding, abetting illegal alien activities using Fed Funds are violating Federal laws. Shut down these criminal operations. Book em Danno. Perp walk, mug shot em, lock them up. Deport illegal aliens. “No one is above the law”. ~IMHO

This womman applied and was granted a green card and followed the legal process to citizenship.\n\nShe is obviously law abiding and learned english because she truly wanted to assimilate to her new country. \n\nShe still sees herself as a hyphenated american but that's totally fine, because she wants to hold on to her mexican roots. \n\nShe is for what's right , and legal , and doesn't condone family members entering the United States illegally. \n\nAnd understands what President Trump is doing.

Every other country Canadians have to follow immigration rules. They are breaking law. Nothing wrong with their country. We are they all coming here. 2 million going to food bank. They should be deported

Wonderful News because they really don't follow other country's laws and customs They're also dangerous people something the media doesn't show much. USA has already deported millions of migrants and revoking visas as well, Canada needs to do the same as well.

It's Sad that Thier mentality thinks strongly arming thier way through our border by force is OK if they can't follow one simple law to enter legally they won't follow any of our laws.

No more Indians to Canada! Go to USA! Indians don’t follow the laws! Canada should deport illegal Indian immigrants as USA.

Good!!!! Follow the law!

Follow the rules and immigration laws to become a citizen! Millions before you all have done it so can you!!

They Omega as student or on visit visas overstay & work which is outrageous & illegal. It is definitely a crime. Wake up Canada & do as our great American President Trump has dome. All other Countries should follow suit. I'm not being biased as I'm Indian origin too but it's not right to break the Country's law. That is a criminal act.

We don’t want you here. Follow the laws get out

Stupid politician's statement that USA and Europe should allow Indians to live there without a visa is quite unrealistic. Every country has its own immigration laws and regulations, and it's standard practice to deport individuals who don't have proper documentation or visas ¹. \n \nIn fact, even India has its own set of rules and regulations when it comes to foreign nationals living and working in the country. It's not uncommon for countries to take action against individuals who violate their laws and regulations. \n \nThe concept of visa-free travel is not entirely unheard of, though. There are currently 16 countries that offer visa-free travel to Indian citizens, including Thailand, Mauritius, Nepal, and Bhutan. However, these countries still have their own set of rules and regulations that visitors must follow. \n \nIt's worth noting that the US government has been deporting illegal immigrants, regardless of their nationality, and it's not something that the Indian Prime Minister can simply override. \n \nRather than criticizing the politician's statement, it's essential to understand the complexities of international immigration laws and regulations. It's crucial to respect the rules and regulations of other countries, just as we expect foreign nationals to respect India's laws.

They are literally saying Indians are not obligated to follow the law just because they are Indian?????????????????????

This is the story not only for Indians but for all illigal immigrants. \nThe law of land follows.

Trump should be stopped- he has no respect. Trump Elon and the Maga cult are the ones who should be shackled as Trump is a convicted felon and insurrectionist and with his cult is dismantling the Constitution of the US and destroying democracy… he is following Hitler… this is how fascism works - please read History of Germany through the 1930s. This is shocking and a shame. A felon and insurrectionist does not follow the rule of law and hence the madness of what is happening to so many people there. May God save America and democracy from autocratic oligarchy.

It’s sad, but you have to follow the law

Why do they think they can cheat the system that they are owed this American life. You come here legally and you follow the laws!!

My parents came to this country legally from India. They followed the laws and worked hard, everything done LEGALLY. You come to this country illegaly you have committed a crime, you will be treated like a criminal.

How can anyone just assume they have the right to cross a border. I am an immigrate as my parents came here in the late 50's. But they followed the U.S. law.

Why is ok that some of us have to follow laws but others don’t. If you go to college should some people not have to attend class and just get a passing grade ? We have laws to keep things civil. She’s a law abiding citizen and she expects others to abide by the laws too.

We need to deport more. They don't want to assimilate nor follow laws.

I'm not sad at all. When do i get help as an American. I work, I pay into the system, I follow the law, where is my help.

This is what happens when you ask people to follow the law. Because punishment for an evil deed does not quickly come to bear, the hearts of the people are fully set to do wickedness. Remember smash and grab after they allowed up to $900 worth of theft before prosecutions kicked in? Why doesn’t Mexico object to their trespassing even though it’s temporary. People are still dying and getting raped it their country.

Call them INVADERS!\nImmigrants follow laws, INVADERS crash borders\n???????

Truth is , ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL ... NO MATTER WHAT . EVERY COUNTRY HAS IT'S OWN IMMIGRATION LAWS TO FOLLOW AND EVERYONE SHOULD FOLLOW . OUR WORLD IS GUIDED BY RULES OF LAWS .

?? What's dummier is claiming other nations, raising a different nations flag, following other nation laws on UK soil. \n In the past, and present. When nations go to war, in protest, it's what you do, you fly a different nation, to claim the territory. \n If you truly love this land, fly the UK flag, and be sincere in leaving the other nation, to become a UK citizen. SHOW THE LOVE!!!???It's called positive change

Gotta send some national guard there. People know the rules yet decide not to follow! I do construction in San francisco and many Ukrainians work with me yet every single of them went thru Mexico thru port of entry. Every single came legally. If these people don’t care about US law now, what makes anybody think they will care about it later?

They refuse to follow the laws is their dumb choice.....Lord help the Agents to keep the protection and hold the line STEADY......they must go back or follow the rules and regulations.....

The armed forces is not a democracy you know this eufaula rules in the army forces it's always been that way and it always will be that way that's the way it should be the army the Navy the Air Force is not a democracy and you follow it is a dictatorship when you're in the military you know this you have to follow the law of the military it's not a public service I'm glad he did two three tours I respect them for that but it don't give him the right to try to force his views in the military that has no nothing to do with being in the military it makes us look weak around the world you know this I know this the American people know this we need this stuff out of the military plain and simple

Nobody can visit and stay in other countries as they wish. That's breaking law. Simple. \nHere, the president sends those people back. Simple.\nThis is something supposed to be done many years back and should each an every country follow.

Clearly they did not think this through! How easy would it be to simply follow the law

Go home people. I am sorry you have been lied to by the media, cartels, NGO’s. Follow the law. Maybe now the liars will tell you the truth. ???
