American slavery was legal slavery in the United States from the 18th to the 19th centuries. Slavery originated in the early days of Britain's colonization of North America and was recognized by thirteen colonies in the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

This woman is seriously lowballing the illegal immigration numbers for the United States. Why?

The United States has been PAYING them to do this. So President Trump should STOP all of the money!

This is the look of freedom. This is the human spirit showing us that the will to live, to be free takes precedent over nationality, culture, etc. The United States NEVER stopped being an oasis in the world’s mind. It is an icon of breaking from from tyranny, oppression even if the USA doesn’t deserve that designation. Or, maybe the U.S. doesn’t belong to u.s. children if immigrants as we believe. Maybe, the U.S. really belongs to every tired and huddled mass yearning to be free. Who are we, Americans, to decide our legacy was over? Maybe, we ran into trouble when we forgot what we are, and why our own ancestors came here. The people of the world have spoken. We have no right to withhold safe refuge from those fleeing death and oppression. Instead of hanging with dictators, maybe our highest national “leader” should return to his original mantra of demanding other nations provide safety for their own, so that their own stop feeling the need to flee. This is the vast majority of migrants’ character. We can separate law breakers from the masses, without accusing the masses of criminality.

Okay if Trump the Imports everyone that's a immigrant there won't be nobody left to run the country who is he going to have run it robot Elon Musk Facebook inventor the rich he's going to put them in there with him to run the country and take care of the United States of America because Trump is going to send everybody back to their countries so who's going to run America because half of America is all immigrants their Heritage their families are all here without them America can't survive Aldi's American white uneducated hillbilly people that you're trying to put into the capital the White House the government are all losers sex offenders alcoholics crime criminals you release half of the criminals in prison so is that going to run the country maybe they might get mad and come up there and attack you have you ever thought about that for what you did to them with your lies you lied about winning the election and you lied about it and they all went to prison for you because you lied Mr President Trump you are you using Revenge well guess what Revenge will come back to you one day the criminals you left out are going to visit you surprise surprise????????????

I feel bad for many who want to come legally, but this mass attempt to force entry into the United States, this is not the right way.

If you want to know why they feel entitlement to the United States, it's because their pop culture is full of propaganda telling them being of the American continents means that they are indeed, Americans of the USA.\n\nSee the lyrics of America, by a commie band called Los Tigres del Norte. ?\n\nEff off Gimmiegrants.

You have been deceived by the United States for too long, it is time to rediscover China. China is not an evil country.

Why do our Canadian politicians refuse to establish a strategy to stop fentanyl at our borders as requested by Trump ?, a crisis that is destroying the United States. This situation stems from a lack of honesty on the part of Canadian politicians. The media doesn’t tell us this, but it’s for this reason that we are at war with the U.S. Think about it for a minute

Illegal is still illegal no matter WHAT COLOR OR WHAT COUNTRY they sneak into United States from!! If you break the law, you need to be stopped and punished! Race has NOTHING TO WITH IT!

Retaliation tariffs. That's a ridiculous idea. You don't win a tariff war when you're the country that has a trade surplus. In 2023, Canada imported approximately $431.2 billion worth of goods from the United States, while the United States imported approximately $354.3 billion worth of goods from Canada. That's going to hurt Canada a whole lot more than it'll hurt us.

If you're in my beautiful country United States of America without proper documentation you are a illegal alien and a criminal don't care what race or color you are if you're in the USA illegally you will be deported!!!!!!

United States doesn’t have allies, they force countries to be their allies. ?‍??‍??‍??\n\nIn other words, they don’t have really any allies. It’s an illusion they’ve created themself. They barely have unity in their own country. Why would we expect them to have outsider friends?\n\nThe US is losing respect from many of them right now. isolate yourself! ? \n\nIs your President always golf 18 like another great isolationist leader? \n\nI think most of American would believe it if he would say so. ??

Ask yourselves how the fuck all these dirt poor people they can’t survive in their continent and their area of the world got to the United States of America. That is an Arous long and expensive trip so exactly how did that happen? We need to look into that and get some trees and chargesfor people who brought those people to our country not just the NGO’s but definitely the NGO’s but the government officials who started it whose idea it was who inspired it.

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

A broader scheme is that United States wants to return to isolationism. I would love to see the country to completely pull back from global trade.

Congratulations, America! You might as well erase the word 'United' from 'United States of America.' And don’t forget who made this happen—your senator and your president!

In 2024, the trade deficit between the United States and Canada was $45 billion. According to recent data, Mexico's trade deficit in 2024 is reported to be around $8.2 billion. Let's fix that too.

Let them all come in; provide them housing, medical, education, jobs, and a monthly stipend. Why is the United States the only country that provides this?

Theodore Roosevelt. President Theodore Roosevelt believed that America's economic growth was due to the protective tariffs, which helped her industrialize. He acknowledged this in his State of the Union address from 1902: The country has acquiesced in the wisdom of the protective-tariff principle. 13 colony's ,lol tariffs from 1786 to 1909 built the usa . usa got worst when we stop tariffs in 1913 then went to a income tax's \nhow think we buy Alaska from the Russia , French... buy Alaska and The Louisiana Purchase was the 1803 acquisition of the Louisiana Territory from France by the United States with the income from tariff's. president Lincoln During the war, Lincoln implemented a 44% tariff to help pay for the war effort and to subsidize railroads. \nThe tariff remained at this level after the war.

We here in Canada don't care about the tough times that are coming, its not the first time we have been in tough times and we are not going to bend for the united states and Donald Trump, we're taking you Americans down with us

As an American, I have been paying exorbitant prices for everything since 20 January 2021. At least now when I pay a premium, The United States will benefit and not every other country but the United States. So kiss my a$$ Justin.

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..

Think of the United States as if it were the Titanic. If we let these people in, we are going to sink, and there aren't enough boats.

Good, now we need to stop sending every country foriegn aid. We hired President Donald Trump to do these things. This will hurt Mexico and Canada far more than it will the United States. It is very hypocritical for other country's that already have tariffs on American made products to say that it is wrong for the United States to tariff their products. We do not care that it will crush your economies because we are done with propping up your economy at the expense of American workers and jobs. It is absolutely amazing that fair trading has practices are scaring your country's.

The fact is that .2% of the fentanyl coming in to the United States comes from Canada. .2%. point two percent. And this warrants tariffs??

People who do not know how the customs duty system works think that the customs duty is paid by the country where the goods are imported, but this is not true. The importer company pays the customs duty in the country that imports. The importer company collects the tax it pays from the people of that country by adding it to the price of the goods it sells in that country. Therefore, a 25% customs duty will cause the price of the products sold in the United States to increase. The increase in product prices will also cause inflation to increase. Inflation will cause the purchasing power of people in the United States to decrease.

everything is so politicized now. for those how dont know ancient Greece was probably the first nation to use tariffs to protect their own products... to keep their own farms and pottery industry healthy and not rely so much on outside countries for staple goods Alexander Hamilton adopted this approach for America \nHamilton's goals for tariffs: \nRepay the country's foreign and domestic debt \nMeet the government's operating expenses \nPromote manufacturing in the United States \nFulfill the goals of his Report on Manufactures \nmind you there were NO INCOME TAXES... that's right.. absolutely NONE! the entire nation ran on funds from tarrifs!

This will continue until the United States military stops this.

The dumbest president the United States has ever elected

What about all of the guns that are flowing into Mexico from the US? I think until that is addressed Mexico should impose increasing tariffs on the United States

We were planning a family trip to the USA next month. Instead we are going to Dominican Republic. That's 8000$ not going in the United States economy. Oh well.

So in other words mexico and canada are saying to the united states that they don't care how many people die of fentanyl. They just want.\n Retaliatory tarrif. Trump should raise the tariff to fifty percent immediately

Haha, the US puppets suddenly realized who they were dealing with. And when the United States humiliated other countries, Canada was happy to help them in this. Karma?

? China has raised(9%-13%) prices on its exports to the United States. Decoupling... \n 2024 — China to reduce or cancel export tax rebates for various products , effective from Dec. 1.

Neither Mexico nor Canada can win a trade war with the United States.

When the United States has a trade advantage, it will sign a contract with you. But when American trade is not in an advantage, it will choose to punish you and ignore the previous contract.?

United States of OCEANIA

Many immigrants I know are now realizing that you just can’t come here and live a life while sending money back home. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and they are finding out that this is not the land of milk and honey they thought it was. It needs to be understood across the globe that the United States is not the country you want to be in if you are trying to help your family back home. There cost of living vs the pay for most immigrants is proving that it’s not worth coming here anymore.

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

3k a month for a apartment? What the hell, I’m in the United States we all know Cali is expensive but it ain’t 3k a month for a one bedroom, I’d be. Good there but only because I own an American trucking business that’s nuts

Sounds like United States lol

This is the consequence of depending on one country in everything. Diversify Canada. We love United States and we hope things gets resolved

When are these two countries going to realize the United States doesn't need either of them and that they depend on Americans to survive

Canadians fail to realize the Cost of Transporting Goods to Countries outside of North America. Currently Canadian Goods are Trucked or Railed into United States Daily whereas Cargo Ships would be Required and take weeks/months for Delivery to Asia or Europe.

Game on. Time to bankrupt Mexico. It is a failed narco state. Canada? Nice people, but their woke leaders have neglected their responsibilities to the point over half of Canadians want to join the United States. I think the Canadian political class has lost control of their country, and like the US Democratic Party, they are out of touch with the common sense citizen who just wants to work, take care of their families and live in peace with their neighbors.

Canada needs to cut power to the United States and close the St. Lawrence Seaway to American shipping immediately. Period.

The regular people will suffer. Canada and Mexico will suffer more. The US economy is very big and dynamic. It will absorb tariffs. Trump's foreign policy is going to be very predatory. These trade wars have the potential to spill into other areas: Diplomatic and military in which Mexico and Canada cannot match the United States. The next four years are going to be turbulent.

Trump loses support and trust from allies.If other countries follow, this will be a serious crisis of the United States.
