Asylum is mean't for fleeing government persecution and you are supposed to claim asylum at the first safe country. It was never mean't for people to shop around and decide which country they want to live in. Now these other countries have helped their own citizens leave and taught them what to say at the port of entry. We have seen the pamphlets they passed out to their own citizens. You can't tell me that there is some leader in south or central america trying to murder all 20 million people that have come here illegally. I am fairly certain that the world would know about it by now. These people are lying and were taught to lie by the same people they claim are trying to kill them. We are 36 trillion dollars in debt. We are not rich and we have more homeless Americans than we have ever had in history

They should not blame America for the problems that they’re having in their own countries. America is just protecting their own citizens and if you break the law, you will be arrested. If you wanna come in to America, you need to come in through customs and then if they fit that you’re right, they will let you in.That is the law of America!

you cannot come here right now, we have people here who are struggling too. I’m sorry that your country isn’t safe or has a lot of problems, but people in the US can’t afford groceries either and the gov doesn’t help the homeless, disabled or elderly enough as it is. No one should be entering the country until every single homeless citizen has been given whatever appropriate help they need and a place to live. Until our own poor citizens have been given sufficient amounts for food. Some elderly US people get $23 in SNAP monthly and are expected to eat and survive on that, while illegals are handed cards with $800 on them to eat with. How is that ever ok? \nSome of us are existing on like $600 per month, we have veterans living on the streets. These things must change before we can help anyone else. I am not unsympathetic to your cause, but I see too many struggling citizens right now that I have to care about first.

lol sorry but all of my problems can be traced back to other citizens, not immigrants.

If they're illegal African trespassers they aren't USA citizens so send them back. ???

Where are the tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets that they use on us citizens?

Want border protection ?....we can help said 50 million armed USA citizens...

Japan, China or the Middle East can value their borders and the safety of their own citizens (something any country should do), why is it wrong when USA does the same thing ?

Therefore don't blame E US,as thy hv to tskes cares of their own citizens..\nInfact every Countryn their Government hv theur own probms..\nIts up to one individual whether one be Able to hlp.n upgrades oneSelf..n stop relying on others or their Govtmt.( cos its hopeless - sometimes)\nIts better to help oneSelf first.....rather than Go n rely n Ask helps from Others...\n\nIts

Its just tht thy dont want useless immigrants in their country...comè in as tourist Visa n doing illegal job or not on Work permit may cause alot of crimes in e country..\nAs these immigrants from their country..e Govtmt hv not provide their own citizens of any policies...\nThese immigrants - r thinking its akways greener on other side..\nBut it proves wrong..

Who decided America owes anything to the citizens of other countries?

They must take the illegal citizens here in South Africa ,i was shocked to hear there of them here illegally

That sound so good?can’t wait for them to start,Haitians need to go too,get em outta here.I’m a black US senior citizen and these people I just mentioned,walk around can’t speak a lick of English but think they’re better than everybody else

That is very good so that the African President can learn to put their countries in order without syphoning everything to themselves and leaving the common citizens on their own.

Ok.iff theyre not legal and contributing to society,eg working and paying taxes like the majority.charity should begin and end in any legal citizens own country.

When is Malaysia going to do the same?\nThere are so many citizens from Africa that one can't understand why they are here in the first place. Also many foreigners from Bangladesh, Indonesia n Myanmar, marrying here to get their children to have Msian citizenship. Look around n see how many of them are getting married, even to locals just to get privilages of their spouses bumiputra status. If a big country like America can implement rules to send all illegal immigrants back, how a small nation is unable to do the same, baffles us. Corruption is the main problem. We sell our souls to the devil to gain Earthly possessions n wealth on the aspects of destroying our country due to massive forms of greed n ignorance.\nIf these traits are not curtailed from becoming a huge loss for the country by prevention, than expect a No Cure situation that'll rob the Peace of a country.

Why not report the good that he is doing...pur constitutionsay to protectusa from invasion..all these ppl are invading the usa and i dont agree with and the democratic party wants votes...it a time to stop that and take care of usa citizens .. all eksr goodbye

TO INDIAN GOVT , JUST STOP VISA GIVING TO ANY MUSLIM KOM RIGHT NOW , NO MUSLIM SHOULDN'T ENTER INTO INDIA , ANY MUSLIM LEAVE INDIA CANNOT ENTER TO INDIA AFTER LEAVING , STRICT WARNING AURANGZEB/HITLER SILENTLY ON MOVE , DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ISI/ ISIS PLS , DON'T KEEP ANY LOOPHOLES IN POLICY & RULES REGULATIONS , SEE WATCH EUROPE IS LOOSING THEIR CITIZENS HELLO

They can shut down the African and India call centers that are scamming our citizens too.

Promises made promises keep. \n250 countries dump people across our borders.\nWe see how immigrationhas destroyed Europe.\n\nWe learnfrom uncontrollable immigration will bankrupt every country.\nPromise made to the American citizens promises keep for the American people.\n.

Who cares. The military literally denies people who have legitimate skills, no health issues, and are perfectly mentally stable. Having a simple cannabis charge, 94 Asvab. Qualify for any M.O.S. and the most you can do is clean a shitter or work with oil because you would be a security risk. Which makes no sense to be able to work with oil for vehicles when you could immobilize a shit ton of vehicles... What do you think Im gonna divulge top secret material to the chinese or russians for a joint?\nIf people get denied for something like this.\nWho cares.\nAfter these past 4 years and what society has become in the US. Not a single thing I would fight for in this country.\n\nAt this point the way the LGBTQ Gestapo has harrassed people these past 4 years. You all deserve this shit and I could care less. You maybe would have more people supporting you if you actually represented honesty, fairness, integrity, and acceptance. Yet that was all a front for a hateful, toxic, lying cess pool. Me personally the way I have been harrased and lied about for years since Biden got elected by the LGBTQ Gestapo all because of people lying about me. I could care less. Let this sink in too. I would have stood up for anyone 5 years ago. Now I'd rather leave this country. Once my dog dies, I'm gone. Not because Trump got elected or any politician, because the citizens of this country make it great and well what I've seen the past 4 years is nothing I want to be around anymore. Nothing I'd fight for. \nThe constitution and foundations of this country are awesome. Yet at this point who cares when the people here are pack minded, easily psyop manipulated, sheep, who cant critically think.\nLeaving this dump of a society seems much better than fighting for it.

Tariffs are consumer taxes on imports, collected from your own citizens, whenever they buy products or services from other countries. Trump said he would reduce taxes. He told voters other countries paid for Tariffs. They Don’t. They just lose sales, due to diminished demand. Tariffs are another way for the US government to tax its own people and reduce its trade deficit . It’s probably about time. USA has had a trade deficit every year, since 1970.

Canada should not respond with tariffs. That will just increase prices for Canadians. They should look for other markets.\nTrump promised to lower prices. This is a direct move to increase them! Trump and his millionaires won't be hurt by this. Only the millions of regular people that voted for him will suffer. This is a perfect example of how politicians go to war and the citizens pay with their blood. ?

Politicians have lost the plot and it’s the citizens who truly pay.\nThey let their egos and personal issues get in the way of running countries properly.

CANADA trying to make a quick buck off the backs of their citizens and telling them to stick together!! what a joke !!! Canada is already tax-gouging their citizens and now they want them to bend over for them!!!

Your citizens in United States have addiction for illegal drugs, why blame Mexico

As a US citizen, I have to wonder, if pushing our Canadian brothers and sisters is the best choice. Have we forgotten that the Geneva Convention is basically a list of Canadas Military achievements?

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

We as Americans can make the drug war go away. Just stop buying fentanyl and other poisonous substances. It’s supply and demand; if there is money to be made by fulfilling a demand, someone will provide. Don’t blame Canada or Mexico or China for our fentanyl crisis. We must support our citizens with the needed assistance to overcome addiction and offer assistance to prevent those not yet involved with fentanyl.

First “They” say that US Tariffs will hurt the US Citizenry.\nSecond “They” seek to impose Tariffs ON the USA to hurt the US Citizenry (apparently NOT “hurting” Their Own Citizens?) \nThe USA has Specific Goals behind the tariffs (Border & Drug Control) do Mexico &/or Canada have Specific Goals as well?\n\nPersonally, I think if the US Citizenry backs down on outright Consumerism, We’ll find there’s a lot We Don’t (and Never) Needed.\nIf this version of “War” continues long enough, We will find that We can fulfill pretty much ALL of Our Own Needs … if not “Wants”.

Keep noticing in the news. That it keeps coming from the angle how it's going to hurt American citizens. Never what it's going to do to Mexico or Canada. Just how bad it is for America. What about the other side? What will Canada and Mexico feel? What goods? Always from the angle of be scared America this sucks for you and only you.

WE ARE KINGS! ALL HAIL THE USA! \n\nUS citizens will pay less taxes if not none at all if trumps plan falls through! \n\nIf you want to send products here then you pay! ? \nIf not, then sell a lot less other places. If US citizens pay more for products than it doesn’t matter because we no longer pay income taxes! ????

This is a TRADE WAR that legally takes money out of the Citizen's pockets of Canada and the United States ... Mexico, is a PUPPET of China This is designed by the W.E.F..

Hurts the US citizens for US tariff imposed on Canadas exports to US. Canada's response: we, too, will hurt Canadians with tariffs imposed on Canada imports from US. Take that! Who pays? The people do. Who cares? Not the babies in charge.

I am American citizen, I will buy American goods.

US citizen here … I’m can’t believe a little more than half of my fellow citizens voted for this ?? I apologize for the ignorance of my countrymen ??? please know so many of us did not vote for this. Peace to all ☮️

No, you guys are not going to get out of paying your bills, if you balk, we will foreclose on Canada and you'll all become American citizens and you'll all have to start paying your bills. Or, you can pay us cash, right now for your share of defending Ukraine... your days of freeloading and spounging are over.

US .put 25% tariff on Imports from Canada.\nCanada put 25% tariff on Exports to US.\nBoth additional fee will be passed to American citizen to pay eventually.

Stop selling pharmaceutical to US citizens.

F that. Canadians don’t need to retaliate. Mr Cheeto is a crooked old schoolyard bully and I for one don’t want to play his game. We need to do what’s best for Canadians - find other trading partners, develop manufacturing within our borders, etc. and above all be smart. \nSomeone will benefit from trade wars and it’s not going to be regular Americans or Canadians. This is just another way to squeeze the life out of regular citizens while the rich get richer.

?? This has nothing to do with borders. This is simply a war using money instead of weapons making all citizens on both sides poorer. This a question of power, of dominance not borders.

So if America sold a massively addictive drug to your countries you would be ok with that killing your citizens. ???????? Really mabey ask yourselves why is trump doing this.

I support Canadian, mexican and US citizens in these horrible decisions by Trump. You will feel the effects shortly, i will feel it in a couple of months. This is utter nonsense - all because of one old angry inidividual who only has a few years left on earth. We, the citizens, must have more say in our future than Mr Trumps anger in his elder days!

This was the correct decision because the US wants bring jobs back to the USA. Jobs in Mexico vs USA trump will choose jobs in the US; Politely subsidized lumber from Canada vs lumber from the USA easy decision; Dairy from Oh' Canada , a short term squeeze. On behalf of all US citizens I would like to thank the people of El Mehico and Oh' Canada for the help in the disentanglement.

I am a citizen of both Canada and the EU. I hope Canada will soon consider strengthening its economic relationships with the EU, especially as the southern neighbour becomes increasingly aggressive and unpredictable.

Did you see what they did ? another sneaky trick for the rich to screw the citizens

EVERY MEXICAN POLITICIAN HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CARTELS!\nTRUMP is trying to use TERRORISM to get other countries to do what AMERICA CAN'T,,,,,,,,HOLD THEIR OWN CITIZENS (Americans) to the rule of law. Why doesn't AMERICA stop the USE OF DRUGS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Because they can't, they cannot control their own people.

Maybe just control the border instead of trying to act tough. As a dual citizen I can say Canada needs to learn its place.

Yes, let Canada defend itself because America will withdraw its defence. The Canadian president is trying to act tough to the detriment of his citizens.

I'm a US dual citizen. I live abroad, in Asia, so I'm not affected but this is just so dismaying. There is utterly no reason for starting this chaos. The American people voted for Trump (who knows why) and thus chaos and suffering is what people get.
