My heart breaks for those children. Having to be a part of this and being fearful of what’s happening. Ugh. Such a sad state of affairs that the want to be here so badly and of course now they are panicking. I’m not justifying it just saying it’s actually very sad.

I'm a homeless veteran caused by these aliens

I'm African and I endorse this move ???? Well done Trump

They’re more fit for it than me. I was born a woman, still a woman, and I can promise you I wouldn’t set foot in the military bc I don’t trust the people running it. I don’t fully trust the govt. I appreciate ANYONE willing to be more brave than the rest of us in order to protect us. I think I’m going to thank them for their service & pray God is loving on them too. Bc contrary to what comments say- God loves them just the way they are.

I’m black American and I’m extremely happy for this

I’m democrat I hate trump but I’m agree with him no trans in the army

Together let’s do something about it instead of leaving. Canada isn’t a country like China where no changes can be made by its citizens. I’m an immigrant, first arrived here in Canada in 2014. Once I heard the US wants to annex us I asked myself what can I do to help prevent this. I think the quickest way is we need a stronger military. I looked up the Canadian military website and found out me as a permanent resident can also be qualified to apply. Although the compensation isn’t that great, if the US really start being unwise I will definitely apply.

I'm here in legally and I'm not scared.

I'm so confused! Who is the victim? So I committed a crime and I have children, and the children were put in this situation of fear and uncertainty because it's government's fault that I committed a crime? Therefore, all those years they shut an eye letting people in illegally？ Aren't those thepeople who should share the responsibilities of causing all this painful situations???

I'm sure tear gas would have stopped

I'm sure if Trump wasn't afflicted with bone spurs, his military service would have totally crushed this Navy Commander's service.

Russia wants a regime change in Ukraine. A regime which is more friendly about Russian/Ukranian future relation. And yes also no NATO for Ukraine. This is what Russia is pushing for. I'm not sure which one of the directions would be good for Ukraine (in the long term)

I'm from Tanzania but my opinion America during the biden administration was a joke to the world and lost the common sense on the issue of transgender. Thank God for trump, Americans are lucky to have trump.

People don't understand we have too many immigrants, and many are criminals doing bad to our country. Many don't even like to work. I'm so sorry, but first, Us USA citizens. It's like entering a strangers house without his consent. You can't do that by force. You can get hurt. Try fighting for your rights in your country.

This is too much for me. I'm cool with women's rights, climate change, and gay rights, but I don't feel any need to hop on the trans train. It just doesn't affect me or many people that I know. There are bigger fish to fry on the federal level.

I'm so confused, she sound like a male, and he dresses like a woman, I am so confused, because she is confused.

Please come ICE arrest me I' m illegal from 1998.

I'm sick of their self righteous entitlement and refusal to assimilate.

I was in the Navy 1976-1996. I came in when women were looked down on by sailors. They had their reasons, but things changed in the 80s. Women served on ships, filled most rates, flew planes, captained commands on shore and at sea (surface and sub). There were issues with gays, and now there's this. I have always thought that as long as one can do the job and not discredit the Navy, have at it and I'm glad to serve with you. USN / USNR E-8 retired

Girl, you are amazing. I'm sorry the president of your country is ungrateful and doesn't appreciate your service. God bless you.

Ok. Which one is the trans one? Are they both trans? I can’t tell. I’m confused.

No way CNN has 17.5M subscribers. At least not real humans. ???

And imagine, if Biden was still president or if Harris could have won, as president, these immigrants would still be flooding into the USA at the same rate. I'm very happy Trump #47 was re-elected.

I'm surprised they didn't shut off the comment section

Dood I’m sorry but fukem. Do it legally like a normal person. Better yet take that energy amd put it into fixing your own country. We got enough problems of our own. Duh

I do know a transgender who dominates women’s softball at the highest level but he can’t compete with anyone on my men’s team , he just isn’t strong enough fast enough, sorry it’s just truths in the differences in the two genders, I’m not saying that trans poeple are bad not at all . These practices that the left keep preaching just won’t work

Dude needs mental health specialist. He's clearly delusional. I'm glad Trump is doing this.

If i was still in the military I'm sorry but no matter how hard i tried i would not be able to take a biological male posing as a female serious. Thank god the unit i was in would never have had that issue, it couldn't happen. And forget about a biological female posing as a male, 98.9% of them couldn't make it, not without lowering standards, sorry it's just a fact, reality does not care about feelings

I’m 60, I remember when the whole debate started about Gays serving in the military, my thoughts were and still are, if they want to risk their lives defending me they can have at it.

Gtfo. No more free sh!t. I'm tired of paying for your lazy a$$e$

I'm no Egyptologist, but I have to pee and these hieroglyphs are super confusing ??

Think I’m going to puke.

I’m confused. Is that navy pilot a man or a woman?

This news anchor needs a touch of lipstick ? You are on TV! Looks like she just woke up and said, I'm ready for work

I'm no Trump supporter whatsoever I honestly think the man is Despicable but what Democrats need to realize is this was one of the main reasons they lost the election there's a lot of people that just don't agree with trans or lgbtq plus issues they don't they don't say anything because they don't want to lose their jobs or be ostracized but to be honest most people don't agree with this stuff

I’m a veteran and I praise President Trump for this action.

All this interview does is let us know that he is a male. They promoted a man in a dress. That's all. We all know about DEI promotions. If you are a male and you think you are a female; you are mentally unstable. I'm also wondering if my tax dollars paid for this guy's surgery?? Insurance shouldn't even pay for it. It's elective.

The media just can’t help itself…it has to lie…using a 10 year old survey by UCLA for the “15,000 transgenders” number when a more recent study done in 2021 shows only 1900 individuals received any care related to being transgender through the DOD and a January 2024 estimate by the RAND Corporation estimated 1320 to 6630 transgenders serving. And the overwhelming Amorite are support roles, not combat or front line. And yes, I’m a veteran.

Crenshaw is just jealous. I thank Cmdr Shilling for her service, and I'm glad she speaks out.

Caitlin looks ĺike a man prove I'm wrong

I'm sick of hearing Republicans rant about 'their freedoms' while doing this at the same time.

I'm not mad...

I’m from Vancouver bc and it upsets me that this site keeps saying oh we need skilled workers not labourers I’m a skilled worker born and bred in bc 10 years experience painter can’t get a job unless I get 10$ less per hour than 2014 and carpentry same thing. The employers want only Indian and Mexican workers because there cheap. This Friday I’m going homeless with my dog because I can’t find work or affordable housing. Government saying we need skilled workers is a scam they want cheap workers no sense of safety or Canadian culture. How did the government let this happen we’re fucked also how did wages not go up when cost of living doubled I don’t care about being able to buy a 1.5 million dollar house but the locals should be able to get by

I'm throwing the bullshit flag! This is DEFINITELY FALSE! I have family there & my cuz is Border Patrol in El Paso! Not true whatsoever!

This is old news..\n\nI’m seeing comments from 5 months ago

Say what you want to say but I'm thankful Trump is in office doing something about this. Absolute mess Biden left him.

I'm sorry they're all dressed perfectly they don't look like refugees to me. To answer the reporter's question we're seeing this right now because of the democratic incompetent government that has been running this country allowed it and even promoted it!

I'm with you cuz whose money are they giving to these immigrants but ours none of it belongs to the politicians we pay they get money from US ! ?

I'm so frustrated that I don't want them treated badly. But these people act like we owe them something. The hell with them, we can't enjoy our own country. We are not going to feed, house, and give them free medical care. Cut everything off. We need to care for our own citizens.?

I’m a Canadian I will never live in the USA I love my country we don’t have to worry about getting sick and having to mortgage our house to afford it. So no I would never ever live there. Besides that I can’t stand your president and his yes boys or his nazi musk
