DON'T COME PLEASE DON'T COME ISN'T THAT WHAT HARRY SAID I MEAN KAMULA

Why do these people keep illustrating why Americans don't want them? Do they not realize this wild animal behaviour isn't helping their case?

No invasion… democrats say there isn’t a problem.

Sure this isn't black Friday at Walmarts

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

Isn’t this from 8 months ago?

Why isn’t Mexico stepping up to ensure a living wage, safe housing, clean water, stiff prison terms for crime? What is the Mexican Government doing to change the situation? They need to provide for their people! Do better Mexico!

This isn’t illegal immigration anymore, it’s a hostile invasion, treat it accordingly.

I'll tell you right now wait until Trump gets the military down there they won't pull that s*** again because they do they'll be fired upon because personally that there like I said on the other post that is a f****** invasion that isn't immigration

Don't care about Canada.... isn't that the very thing it supported Us in non western countries ....take a taste of what you facilitated...\nAll power to Mexico....give the bully a taste of his own medicine\nChina can handle its story\nGo BRICS

Isn't this an old video?

​​This isn't war, it's revenue policy. Tariffs up, income taxes and government spending down will work to Make America Great Again.

Isn't US responsibility to protect its borders?????? Why is Trump blaming other countries for nothing protecting US borders.

American here. Will be stepping up my purchase of Canadian goods. Canada isn’t a problem.

How can anyone say this isn’t a invasion

There's going to be pain on both sides, caused by one man. Canadians will have more resolve in this trade war than will the US counterparts. The whole of Canada is behind the leadership of the provinces Premier's and the Federal Government - regardless of party. Resolve isn't an issue.

This isn't about drugs crossing the border. This is about the US exerting dominance over their neighbors.

Why are reciprocal tariffs such a bad thing? If both sides use the same percentage, isn't that just fair? The era of 'free trade' is over folks.

Hey DW! Well done for managing to broadcast something that isn't about appeasing Putin.

Not a smart move by Canada and Mexico, Trump is holding all the cards, he prepared for this long ago, the plan is huge, I assume US Is just trying to force Canada to be the 51th state or go bankrupt which isn't a bad thing after all but, we will see if this if this is going to be a huge mess* or a huge succes

Isn’t Canada ultra expensive as is?… Trudeau didn’t think this thru… life in Canada just got waaayyy more costly \n\nAll trump wants is to secure your damn borders. Oh but wait that would actually cost you money. \n\nAnd for all the comments about oil/gas\n\nAmerica has our own.. we will be just fine

Why isn't Trudeau gone yet?

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

The US has a trade deficit around $1 TRILLION. So, this isn't anything personal against Canada; I think Trump wants to impose tariffs on ALL imports to encourage domestic manufacturing and flip the trade deficit. He's just using situations of importance to also gain political leverage.

$36T debt going $37T this year. Another $1T debt interest to be paid. No budget cut, but more tax. Isn’t it the real reason?

Isn't it ironic that Elon likes ketamine, which is an opioid just like fentanyl but trump is punishing Mexico, Canada and China when they demand guy sits beside him. Is that not hypocrisy.

Isn't illegal immigrants coming into the US the responsibility of US Border Service Land Sea and Air??\n\nIt's very clear that some of your border agents are on the take \n\nToo Funny

No that isn't why Trump has moved on tariffs. He has imperialist ambitions. He wishes to use economic power to make Canada part of the USA.

As an American, I welcome all countries being threaten by Trump and his version of America to fight back. Arguing and reasoning with the other half of America isn't working for us. But maybe, a reality check by hurting their wallets will. Do it--don't hold back. Don't bow down to this wannabe dictator. The other half of America can survive--those who voted for Trump will not.

I am not smart enough but I think if America keeps pushing like this globally then US de-dollarization isn't far.

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

why isn't stock in US car makers, home depot, lowes and thousands of other businesses tanking?

If this Administration (Trump) isn’t stopped, we will not be functioning long enough to vote again. That is the secret behind his comment. He said we won’t need to vote again. ???

The only problem is Trump behaves like a 4 year old. You can’t reason with them. Look what happens if you say no to a toddler. \nTantrum . This isn’t a regular bully, actually need the advisory of a phycologist on this one.

The U.S. government decided to deport illegal immigrants, though some may see this as a positive move.Apart from this, many other decisions have been horrific. Nobody anticipated that things would go this far, straining relations with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, consumers like us in the U.S. and Canada will have to bear the consequences.I am asking—who is ultimately going to suffer? What can the government really achieve in just four years? This seems like a systematic way to devastate the U.S. economy. What about us, the consumers? Nobody in the White House or any government office is addressing this. Why isn’t the President talking about the impact on consumers? Prices will skyrocket multiple times over, and we, the consumers will face unprecedented price hikes with no alternative .What a pityy that who all voted for this . .

The 1.6 billion dollars Trudeau said he “pledged” to border security is to be spread out over 6 years! Which basically at this point none of it has beeen spent. It is a laughable amount to try to appease trumps request and trump is smart enough to read the fine print in the border security bill o know that Trudeau isn’t taking border security seriously.

It's amazing that most Canadians have no clue that Canada has had tariffs of 300% on most US goods for ages. Adding 25% isn't going to do anything. This is a clear overreaction by Canada. So it's now 325% compared to 300%? Whut? Trump will now raise it to 50%. Look, if Trump raises tariffs to be equal to that of Canada, it's game over for Canada.

This retaliation means that Canada and Mexico could care less about illegals letting in Fentanyl into the US. THEY DON'T CARE, and neither do you in the comments until your family members are victims of fentanyl. Isn't Trudeau supposed to be resigning?

What part about if you're illegal, you will be deported isn't clear?\nThey are starting with violent criminals, a lot of which currently happen to be gangs and cartel members from Mexico and South America.\nBut yes, illegals from any part of the world. Africa, India, China, if you are illegal, your turn will come.

Girl there isn’t NO fear growing in the Black Community. Stop lying. Stop speaking for us.

“come into the US irregularly” what kind of mind game BS is this. Your not a news source, your here just to fulfill a narrative that isn’t based on truth

The united states isn't the world's piggy bank. AMERICA FIRST

We've got plenty of people that know how to do border work for years and years.... We don't need a loud mouth to plow drive theories that he's just grabbing out of the air..... If all we needed was a rich man to run the world.... Wait a minute isn't he the hypothesized bad guy?

This would be considered an invasion. \nIt isn't going to end well.

I'm sorry that you were lied to by Democrats who were planning on using you for votes. They are criminals, and your entry without permission is illegal. \n\nThey don't care about you. They ONLY want to use you so they can stay in power. However, their desire isn't to keep America the beautiful place it was created to be. They reject the Lord who inspired our FOUNDING FATHERS, and they want America to become a godless nation. \n\nWork on your own nations and build them into righteous communities that serve the Lord. This is the path to true prosperity and true wealth. \n\nYou DO NOT want to live in an America run by DEMOCRATS who owned slaves. You do NOT want to live in a godless nation, or a godless world!

You can tell Biden isn’t president anymore or they would have been standing there handing them debit cards and cell phones and sending them on through

This kind of migration isn’t regular for countries. There has to be a more appropriate way.??♾️?

if you need meds to live, you are undeployable...this isn't just working through the pain and gobbling motrin or sucking it up - even a woman on birth control can just stop and be ok.\ncastration without hormonal support will mess you up.

Well Canada isn’t a Muslim country so it makes sense for you to move to a Muslim country. Good luck.

A better life… meaning money? Let’s see their own country build up its economy and provide for its people. The grass isn’t always greener here. Many living in poverty.
