Cry me a river about those illegals. My Black American slave ancestors were shackled, chained and weren't even considered human beings for 250 years in the United States.

CNN let illegal immigrants invade the United States\nCNN hates the American people \nCNN old videos show the truth

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

They are criminals they illegally entered the United States bye bye

My question is Who hired these workers? Are they being prosecuted as well? Did these illegal immigrants break any laws or commit any crime’s other than entering the United States illegally?

Criminals are Shackled In the United States whether you are legal or illegal. These people are illegal criminals and cannot be trusted

United States Constitution defines them as illegal aliens. Geneva convention could call them non-uniform enemy combatants infiltrating a country many of them are smuggling chemical weapons of mass destruction called fentanyl which has killed about 800,000 Americans in the past 5 years!

Some of these comments are disgusting. Have we really come to such inhumanity. The United States is crumbling very sad

Modi once introduced him as: President of ......uhh United States Of America. Mr. Do-Land Trump!????

United States is a basket case!

The United States is quickly making enemies instead of friends.

This is very incorrect way treated Indians and showing to world, super power. What the hell. Bullshit united states Americans policy.

The leading cause of children death in the United States for ages 1 through 17 as of 2020 is gun deaths look it up

Never would I become American the racism is horrible the guns and crimes are horrible I don't even like Landing in an airport in United States

So while they were here, what work did they do? Except by name brand clothing and Tennis shoes with our federal tax dollars to be shipped home. You shouldn't have listened to Joe Biden and Harris, and they lied to you. The United States is not a free ticket. You got treated better than their u. Citizens, you get a bus ride. For free.\nAnd to go home again, we're still paying for you

Start here to work hard and ma ke the ones more united states here in India,do not waste your,and our time for them.

To the clown that said that Canada should invite China to build a military base in Canada because of the tariffs being put on their unfair treatment of the United States !\n I guess we will have to wear masks again from all the smoke blowing down from our northern boarder. Good idea what a genius !

Interesting.\nHe definitely is not bullshiting\nIf you are not an American \nDASHBEDANYA...\n\nNot positive how the United States is going to retrieve weapons from Afghanistan..\n\n\nIts an idea but not logical \nTroops would have to go door to door \nSearching every dwelling to find weapons \n\nIf he greenlit the plan\nBest advice \nUse the elon musk Olympus robots to do the search \n\n\nFar more effective \nAnd far less deadly for \nAmerican service members

Those countries are at the brink of unleaching all their people at the United states at once, by the millions and see what Trump is going to do

The numbers being reported are wrong, there well over 15 million illegal aliens in the United States, and every single one is will be found and deported if they don't leave on thier own, this is the issue Trump ran on and won on twice and he is not messing around!

And nobody's talking about any other illegal immigrants in any other countries around the world except for the United States we are the only ones oh my God we must be bad people

Leftiesvare enemy of sovereignty in the united States

They don’t come here to live peacefully and become citizens and respect and love the United States and obey the laws. They come here to take, sponge, and trash our country and to spit on us. And then fly their country’s flag and burn ours. And speak their language out on public just down right un respectful

Another sad reality is, these people were invited here by the President of the United States! Joe Biden opened the southern border to all comers. So who are they expected to believe? President Biden, or President Trump? Illegal immigrants should be deported, but so should the traitorous Joe Biden!

The United States is better even though this person favors Canada

If US do not want immigration legal or illegal from other countries, United States of Terrorism should stop interfering in other counties and mind their own MOFO business. Let all countries progress on their own and stop creating conflicts so they can sell their weapons to feed the next generation of untied states of Terrorism.

What the hell does United States have that these people are so eager to go in?

This all nonsense of immigrants trying to enter US illegally has to STOP!!!! THE PROBLEM IS THAT IS MANY THAT COMES TO DESTROY SO IS BETTER TO COME LEGALLY!! UNITED STATES NEEDS TO BE CLEAN AND RESTORE BC THE LAST ADMINISTRATION CREATED chaos

How did they get into the united states from Africa

The first thing I learned about refugees was that the country taking you is supposed to be a country that borders you we don’t border Venezuela so why would the United States be the ones taking those refugees? I don’t recall the US pledging to take Venezuelan refugees. I know we did for Ukraine because of war time.

I think that instead of deporting these immigrants, America should force them all to work for free for three or four years to build infrastructure and build houses and a whole city for other immigrants, and then give them a multi-year residency and then give them permanent residency. In this way, other lazy immigrants who intend to take advantage of the comfortable life in America will forget about entering the United States illegally.

Maybe Canada would be better off actually becoming the 51st state of the United States. ?

Venzuelans should fix their own country instead of coming to the USA to create more of what they left. Go away. Go to Brazil, it's closer. Go to Columbia, your neighbour. Go anywhere except to the United States. We don't want you.

Capricorn Queen Boss, yes, they need go back to Africa, everyone need be back in their own country. Truth. Time that everyone need be out of the united States, they override our system, abuse system.

ANYTIME U GOT ILLEGAL AFRICANS N THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....THAT COUNTRY..... AFRICA GOTTA ALOTTA CORRUPT LEADERS ...AND PLENTY OF CHAOS AND DESTRUCTIONS

Take it as a sign. Go back home. Fix your own country and problems. Tired of paying for everyone’s freebies. I am beyond frustrated. You come to the United States illegally. Majority want to wave your own country’s flag. Disrespect our way of life. Don’t conform. Nope. Be proud of where you come from. And fix it. We are Not here to fix your issues. Still overcoming ours. But I love my America!! God Bless Her

Democrat ideology has made them think they have the right to freely enter the United States and there's no border at all.

President Trump, please don't use Army plane to deport illegal immigrants. It's too expensive. Please use commercial flights to deport them which will cost 30% of Army plane. These deported illegals are millions of. May even use ship. United States is in a huge fund crisis secretly engineered by the Khazarian Rough Mafias stooges Biden and others. Each and every expenditures should be carefully done, the most minimum.

So what if they're from Africa. If they are here illegally, they have to go to. Now President Donald J Trump has to stand on his word and get rid of all illegals, that looks like him my skin color,race shouldn't mean a thing get rid of them. All of those people here from the Ukraine here that are receiving a social security check and our Medicare system along the ones from all around the world and is a drain on our economy have got to go. It's all about the United States of America that matters . President Donald J Trump if you are a man of your word, keep your foot on the gas. They all have to go, no more time to waste.

If you are not legally here in the United States, You need to be Deported!!

There is some entity spreading propaganda.\n To this particular country. Telling them encouraging them and funding them to come to the united states

Who in their right mind brings a baby, riding on an adult’s shoulders, to a push and shove protest, trying to break into a country? The United States is a sovereign nation. Knock on the door and politely request admittance, going through the legal process.

If you are deported for being illegal you cannot re enter the United States for 10 years.

Ur country is beautiful work and get it together so y'all can stay there! United states is a mess right now!!!

DEPORT THEM ALL!!! Every NOT nationalized of the United States.

They are thinking that the OLD ADMINISTRATION is still in power, AND THEY THINK THAT A MASS OF THEM CAN JUST PUSH THEIR WAY IN into the United States like they were doing before it’s not gonna happen

I don't understand, in this particular move by Trump, why he is being vilified for removing illegal immigrants! They should not be tolerated in the United States. \nBut the Tarrifs and Trump's other disastrous, destructive and illegal moves will ruin America.

Almost ALL our illegal guns, drugs and illegal border crossings come from the United States! Not the other way around. It sucks being beside a country in collapse with a failed democracy run by foreign government lobbies and wall street/tech oligarchs

They going back to a better place than united state i know they are happy Africa is the best place to be in the world....???

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.
