Every Spanish person I’ve ever met is an intelligent, hard working, decent person. I don’t understand why they can’t create awesome countries south of the border. Is is just the cartels or their governments? It seems like closing the border will cause the cartels to go broke and then people can get their country back.

Learn English first. Fix your own crappy countries ! Hispanics seem to have no pride! Why hang your flag when u come!?!! If your culture is so good then stay where it’s everywhere. We don’t need more baby poppers

They don't seem to like us....dont come here

Smiling in the video clean fades for haircuts fresh clothes seems like a cnn skit

I found that Christianity in the poorer places in Mexico seemed more legit than much of Christianity in the US. There are very good things about the Mexican people. Jewish genocide resulted from fear about the Jew. Do not become afraid. Love overcomes fear. Love your neighbor as yourself. Take up your cross. You died and your life is hidden in Christ.

Wow how low people have to go just for bare survival...seems like have to let go of dignity for bare minimum

No one made the social net in Canada for us, we made it for each other. That's democracy. Having said, that, I use the healthcare system as little as possible while others are breaking its back with minor colds, especially since Covid. Fear of lack of healthcare was not the Canadian norm, but seems to have become that way resulting in people destroying a good thing and getting lazier about personal responsibility! So much talk about politics everywhere now and not much talk about responsibility for ourselves let alone our neighbours. Politicians are not gods!

I used to think it was all a bit exaggerated \nI’m not American and don’t overly care\n\nBut it does seem like Donald Trump is losing his mind and it would appear he’s dismantling the north American empire \n\nand as someone who’s never liked America’s supremacy, it should please me\nDunno why, but it doesn’t. It’s not because people got wise and evolved.\nIt’s like they’re devolving. Idk what’s going on.

It has been mentioned that India has taken the top spot globally for scams, ranging from fake education credentials to unethical business practices, making Nigerians seem like saints in comparison within the world of scamming. Furthermore, Indians often resist integrating into and accepting the culture of host countries, which ultimately contributes little value to the global community.

Its crazy how all these wierd and evil events seem to happen when the eagle gets elected very wierd anything to tarnish ones reputation

Well dressed, clean stylish clothing and 1000$ cell phones, something seems off here.

WTH What us going on, they folks seem terrified ?????

Oh so seems like trump was right all along. This is terrifying

The reporter doesn’t seem to know how to talk ffs it’s like he’s singing

Using children as shields seems to be worldwide.

lol ? The comments seem to think we’re not enjoying this. Yes this is what we voted for, this is what we wanted! I’m happy!

Canada seems like the second Indian country!?

Seems like an invasion

The idiot still does not seem to understand that americans pay the tariffs.

Why would those planes with migrants even take off if the landing wasn’t previously pre-arranged with that country’s government? Seems foolish to say the least

Columbia's main export seems to be Criminals.

No, politics in Canada is not good. Just that comment referencing Republicans is an example in and of itself.\nHealthcare is good, used to be better, and is getting worse.\nCrime is rampant in Ont. \nHomelessness is high and rising with job losses, inflation, drugs. Foodbank lineups have more than doubled.\nThere are lots of police and they are armed.\nThey ate so busy with rising crime that they don't pursue other illegal crimes \nWhere is a lot of wonderful about Canafa, but it has gotten worse.\nWe are enjoying the end of the thread of beautiful Canada. But for future generations, Canadians seem to not care.

The largest population of illegal immigrants has been chinese, according to all media outlets during the presidential race. It seems hey used that to get votes, but no mention of them anymore ?

?? i don't know who's the bigger idiot?! #47 who seemingly believes the tariffs are bad for the countries he's putting them on or the idiots who applaud his actions seemingly unaware that they get to foot the bill! Dumb arses!

Denmark, EU, Kanada, Mexico, GB, Brasil, now Colombia. \nIncredible how fast you can make the world angry on one orange idiot. \nYeah, seems American products can easily be compensated.

Seems like the Colombian president is CEO of the criminal and drug syndicate in Colombia

He could have just called the columbia president! Why does he just put these “criminals” in jail? What makes these people criminals are they convicted? It seems so vague?

Can anyone imagine the circumstances and fate of those people in the aeroplane, like no country wants them, Shit ! that's bad, seems like they are gonna be in aeroplane on air for a very very long time. Thats what happens when you start to measure and compare your dick,. somebody else suffers.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Ask any left winger why they have a problem with the US sending back illegal immigrants? they never seem to give an answer that makes sense, lots of emotion but no logical answers.

Seemed to resolve quickly and in our favor, so...

It seems like the president is placing an emphasis on national security, protecting our citizens \n\nCan’t imagine how anybody can have a problem with this

Oh my, a few wenches seem to be in the works... I wonder what products I buy that are imported from Colombia?

So I pay an extra $1 for a mango, for every 10 Columbians that lose their job? Seems like an efficient use of my taxes. I approve!

It sure seems like this report is far more concerned about Colombia‘s autonomy and their ability to refuse an American military plane to land then they are with the United States’ ability to refuse illegal immigrants

When is this goon going to fix the inflation issue? You Incompetent MAGA's care to answer that? Trump seems to love you uneducated losers.

The President of the United States has great influence over the United States. If such a president were given legitimate influence, power, and authority over all other countries, that person would be called the President of the World or like maybe, Jesus Christ. Thus, it is a great thing to focus mainly on what we can directly affect and have authority over, as all else might just be a indication of ego and blustering wind. It's better for everyone to see you as having the wisdom of Solomon and making great journeys to hear your ideas, than it is for you to foist your ideas as though you could display your Solomon like wisdom and make yourself seem a source of wisdom.

seems to have worked perfectly good job president trump

Seems cocaine and crack will become a bit more expensive to buy.Its users will be all over in protest

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

So if the c-17's are 3 times the cost of civilian airliners, just send them back on civilian airliners, what's the problem there? Seems an easy fix and I as a tax payer don't want to pay 3 times more when it can be done cheaper. I Thought Trump was a businessman and knew about economics? I guess he's not interested in keeping it cheaper for us citizens. Furthermore if he tariffs China we are all in big trouble.

I see Project 2025 is in full effect. A lot of these people who voted for him don't have a clue, while the others are silently kicking themselves in the butt. It all seems like a bad movie. People are going to have a history lesson in this term. There will be a movie 10-20 years from now, and I want to see it.

How the world has changed. As a Business Major in the 90s, the WSJ was the guardian of Conservative thinking and held steadfast against any kind of Liberal ideas as cuckoo. Now the WSJ is basically in full agreement with Democrats, and against most Trump policies. Honestly, as someone that just watches the freak show, as George Carlin so famously said, I'm left wondering who is right or wrong. Also, where is this going? It seems almost all Conservative support is now with Fox News and podcasters. Hardly any networks or newspapers, no news agencies (as we know Fox isn't a news agency).

All the energy that is going to deporting people. Hopefully someone will do the cost-benefit. Seems like a major waste of time. Imagine if the Border Bill had been passed in 2024 and by now we could have had this all under organized control without all of this spending so much money, time and effort in rounding people up and deporting them. Add to all of that the cost of tariffs that Trump is putting on Columbia and I expect others in the coming weeks and months. What a waste. Trump also not getting this whole thing organized which is the major direction we have to go in the final analysis.

So, should we be worried about a military draft? Trump seems intent on causing a war.

And, it seems as though Trumps policy is having an affect on undocumented citizens

you dont seem to be highlighting that trump is increasing inflation and is going to push his uneducated maga supporters into poverty. CNN failing again, are you really that scared of him?

Seems that the only ones bending down to kiss the trump ring are the Republicans and billionaires.

Columbia already folded to Trump and agreed to take them back. There's a REAL President that knows how to get things done! Seems like this comment section and CNN doesn't keep up to what's actually happening

Save Jim Acosta. CNN— and the rest of legacy media are killing free speech and the 4th Column at large. The battle cry of all — including Faux — seems to be “Resistance is Futile!” Fuck you, CNN. Save Jim Acosta.
