thing is, Trump has the right idea about erasing the phony US-Canada border. What you do is look at all the resources, customs, inspectors, the massive amount from both sides on that border, ok?\nNow, it would be far FAR better than you take all of that and you now MOVE IT, all those choppers, people, money, time, resources along the North American border. the OUTSIDE perimeter of Canada and the outside perimeter of USA. \nNow, Canada does a far far better job stopping 1000s of Sikhs ad Chinese and whoever else before they GET INTO North American landmass. \n otherwise, yes it's difficult to stop once they are INSIDE Canada because that border is so long, so vast, so sparsely populated, wilderness forever, forests, it becomes extremely difficult by that time. \nErase the phony border.

Amazing! And for anyone complaining about the shackles, I’m sure they had a far more difficult journey when they entered the US illegally. The shackles are a cake walk in comparison to the treacherous journey they made when they decided to enter the country illegally.

I saddens me that ordinary citizens (not wealthy) are stuck in this incredibly difficult life. We all slug to keep the wealthy bathed in riches and the government assists them. It is crazy that Canada has been rated #1 to #3 of the best places to live in this world. Tells you how other countries are facing even more hardship than we are. The 'let them eat cake' faction has got to be put back in place.

It's not easy. Studying and working is very difficult and with a family is stressful.

When will the left wing learn the difference between legal and illegal? Why is it so difficult to grasp?

India makes their visas, oci cards etc very difficult. I don't think India are in a position to complain about other countries. Here in the UK do you know how many hundreds of thousands of illegal Indian immigrants that are here???? That's the reason.

Blah, blah, the conduct of Indians while they are on a visa in a foreign country has left an impression that will be difficult to erase. The biggest of which is overstaying their visa!

CNN you are seeing this because it the right thing to do your don’t understand how difficult life is right now for many Americans and I saying working Americans people that make 500 to 900 a week that can’t afford to pay they Rent and food but you don’t care about that

What Mrs.Palki Sharma won't talk about is that there are mass number of Indians abroad who find it very difficult finding jobs & there is also a rise in the issues of civic sense amongst many Indians abroad. Just because we're the 5th largest economy doesn't mean we out right deserve visas. Even those countries cannot afford everyone. The immigration policies of Western nations have actually become quite a burden for them, there's nothing wrong with restrictions, they're not rejecting everyone.

Indiana are very difficult nation to respect the rules and laws in the housing sector to during to jobs - and education. They don't want to learn the foreign rule except just want to make money by ignoring all rules. \nI rule said to allow the apartment to be sized and rules to all nations 2 people the indians will bring the same apartment 10-15 person minimum, damages within a days weeks, non-respect the rules they agreed to respect. \nWhen landlords are the same rules as all others indians think it's only for them, and cleanliness maintenance is the main issue. Before indians rented the buildings front, corridors, and inside all was super clean as soon Indians rented the apartment all the bags full of garbage, compost, dresses, and shoe food all in front and everywhere. The apartment and building itself are not livable and others are complaining threatening the landlord to quiet the building. For Indians tennats many landlords lost. their good respectable tenant, None want to stay with them, It's not about color or language its about cleanness and noise sharing s with many and inviting all friends which is allowed only in India, not other developed countries or Canada. U.S. If they can't respect the rules of law in Canada they should not come. Canad landlords will not allow 11/2 or 21/2 apartments with 10-15 peoples, who breaks all inside out crowd noise, deny damages, and blame Landlords.

Leg cuff is ok..hand cuff makes them difficult to use washroom..so not sure how they managed

They were unable to comprehend the reason why it harmed us. It will be difficult for them to have courage on their own........... dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is really sad becuase life after deportations is tough for somebody who was raised in USA. I was taken to the U.S. as a baby and grew up there, but at 19, I was sent back to Mexico—a country I had no memory of, no connections in, and barely spoke the language. My entire family had migrated when I was little, so I was left to figure everything out on my own.\n\nComing back felt like being thrown into an unfamiliar world. I wasn’t fluent in Spanish, had a weird accent, and my mindset was completely different from those who grew up in Mexico. I used to be outgoing and got along with everyone, but now I’ve become more introverted. I struggle to relate to people, have trouble socializing, and often feel like I don’t belong. I feel completely alone, with no one to talk to in person because everyone sees me as an outsider. Many even think I’m a terrible person for coming back after being raised in the very place they dream of moving to.\n\nMaking friends has been challenging too. Many assume that because I grew up in the U.S., I have more money, and friendships often come with the expectation that I’ll pay for everything.\n\nOn top of that, daily life is a struggle. Renting a place is extremely difficult because I don’t have a co-signer from Mexico, and they won’t accept one from the U.S. Getting legal documents like a passport is nearly impossible because my parents haven’t been in the Mexican system for over 19 years, and officials tell me they have no way to prove who I am. Unlike in the U.S., where there are laws against discrimination, I face rejection at every turn here.\n\nThis life is hard. I wish my family had never migrated—or at least had done so after I was old enough to understand the risks and what could happen in the future.

I find it very difficult to feel any sympathy for these ILLEGALS resorting to doing ILLEGAL s h i t like this. This only goes to prove that placing an order to have them removed in the first place was and is the right and BEST decision made. Tired of them playing the victims. \n\nIF YOU BREAK THE LAW - YOU HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME... AND YES THAT MAKES YOU A CRIMINAL. \n\nIf you want to come here, do it the right and leg way. If not, dont get all a s s hurt about ICE detaining you and your family and deporting back to your home country. \n\nThis applies to ALL UNDOCUMENTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS...

Strictly avoid canada now. It's a very difficult situation there. No part time or full time jobs. Not for freshers. Everywhere experienced people required and preference given to Citizens then Permanent residences then at last to persons on TR visas. Even getting PR is very difficult now because getting off 1 year Tier 0/1/2/3 working experience is very very difficult. Even indian students on PGWP are not getting tier jobs hence doing odd jobs . AVOID AVOID and don't spoil your time and money .

And they say it’s so difficult to get US VISA

Indian ( new enter students & immigrants…seriously the truths..now Canada became to expensive,uncertain jobs.even citizens can’t gets jobs.seniors & retired persons …on governments aids by big finance every month..it’s very difficult to survives here.Indian parents..be careful to send yours child here.houses very expensive to buy or rental .far better or best to stay in India.believe me.iam old man 74+. why should I miss guide to any one…they are not my burdens..believe me once again requesting.

It is specially difficult to afford life in the coutry they are in when most of the money they are earning they send it all back to India . They live working and looking for money to make life better in India . Many Indians are not really settleling or planning a future in Canada or USA their country that they think of as home is India .

Nothing is hidden because of social media. Criminal activity like drugs , burglary and car hijacking is rapidly increasing.\nIt is not safe for local Canadians then think who will protect Indian immigrants.\nRise in Racism because of political instability is another reason to be worried about.\nIllegal immigrants and refugee without background verification are settled with govt monetary support. It is from the tax of the public they running such programs.\nI saw India girls are easily getting targeted for sexual favour and live in relationships as no relatives to look after.\nHigh Taxes.\nIf any parent deciding to apply for education loan please rethink current scenario is difficult later blaming kids is of no use…

India must be a miserable and difficult country to live in. Why do Indians immigrate at such high levels?

TIMES XP is absolutely correct. \nPlease spread this message among Indians. \nCanada ?? has become a very difficult place to make a living, especially for immigrants. \nIt is the same with countries like the UK ??, USA ?? , Australia ?? & NZ. \nBetter that Indian think a thousand times before migrating to these countries.

Congratulations on asking those difficult questions!

I could give 2 fucks about their situation & trauma's. Guess what the world is brutal, ruthless, unforgiving, & dangerous. USA is no better. We have our problems as well & it's not easy. If their so proud of their heritage, nationality, culture, & ethnicity. They should go & stay in their own country & fight for the rights. Don't flee as soon as something gets hard & difficult. Blaming others for their problems. Instead of trying to impede & illegally force your way into another country as if your entitled to it or as if the world owes you something. Nobody owes or has to give you shit. \nThis is unfair to the many legal immigrants & US citizens. Who had to wait years & decades just to get approved with sponsorships. Having to fight their way to get accepted. An these illegals come in like it's fun & games. Pulling the waterworks as if we have to succumb to their will. Were struggling to help ourselves & they want us to help them. This is utterly ridiculous.

I immigrated legally 30 yrs ago , it was difficult with no internet as today & maintain ties with India. The people coming today are disgraceful / disgusting & give us a ver bad name The don’t integrate into society, talk loudly, shout across in stores, spit, sit with legs up in public, now many involved in crime as we see in news media. Come legally. It’s obvious from the clip from which states most are from ?

People underestimate how difficult it can be to control people mid-flight if a situation occurs. The handcuffs are necessary to restrict movement. \nSecondly, they are criminals after all. No other country would tolerate illegal migrants. It is a crime globally.

Canada should reduce insurance, taxes , house price , grocery , Air Ticket , Gas price , food prices , vehicle prices , transportation, medical treatment less good talented Doctors , less jobs , no jobs , now difficult to get a job , all expensive now please make it less reduce God bless

Canada partner with Europe pls, help us during these difficult times

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..

Trudeau is a wise intelligent well spoken man....he has a good heart....he is humble and will not allow insults ridicule threats accusations to create division....Trump respects Trudeau...Trump would gladly hire Trudeau...knowing he is an honest truthful trustworthy man...Trudeau word is good and bond....Trump and Trudeau can work well together....Wise men create peace fools create war.....do unto others as you want done to you....is the golden rule....it never fails....in difficult situations good people will outlast fools...Love endures all things....Love never fails....There are bad people trying to control Trump....they are using him as a scapegoat.....

Only people with common sense should serve in the government\nPublic offices are for the mentally and physically healthy. Is that too difficult to understand?

It's a matter of practicality. It takes a lot of hormones to overwrite your natural body chemistry. Trans people deployed to the frontlines would have difficulty getting those hormones reliably and would probably have a breakdown when their natural physiology begins to reassert itself. Diabetics aren't allowed to serve in the military. The logistics for supplying artificial hormones would probably be twice as difficult and expensive as supplying insulin.

This is what happens when you change the laws to make it unnecessarily difficult to get into the country and then pretend there's a migrant crisis even though you yourself created the crisis by changing the laws

Not very good reporting, as the host only presented one side of the story. Give me one country which doesn’t love tourists’ money (maybe Spain)….. If the host cares to think about the underlying reasons, it is not that difficult to figure out why the rejection rate is so high. Sorry to say, but it totally makes sense.

Too many people to accept. Very Difficult for the US to accommodate so many.

It sounds like this video is referring to people fleeing oppressive or difficult conditions in their home countries rather than staying and fighting back. If you’re talking about Venezuela and Hugo Chávez’s legacy, there are a few reasons why people might choose to leave rather than resist:\n\t1.\tGovernment Repression – The Venezuelan government, under both Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro, has cracked down on opposition, jailing political opponents, suppressing protests, and using the military to maintain control.\n\t2.\tLack of Resources – Many people in Venezuela are struggling just to survive due to hyperinflation, food shortages, and a collapsing economy. When basic necessities are scarce, organizing resistance becomes incredibly difficult.\n\t3.\tFear for Safety – Speaking out against the government or organizing opposition can lead to imprisonment, torture, or even death. Many people, especially those with families, may feel that fleeing is the only safe option.\n\t4.\tCorruption and Military Loyalty – The government has secured its hold by ensuring loyalty from the military and key institutions through financial incentives and control over resources. This makes any organized resistance much harder.\n\t5.\tHope for a Better Future – Many people feel they have a better chance at a stable, prosperous life by leaving rather than staying in a country where the political situation seems unlikely to change soon.\n\nFighting a government isn’t as simple as just deciding to resist—especially when the government has control over the police, military, and economy. For many, leaving is the only realistic option.

Stop going into a country illegally why is it that difficult to understand? You should be in fear for being there illegally

I find it incredible it took another nation to light the fire what the citizens have been asking from out politicians....when Canadian got fed up with vehicle theft, our Politicians said...oh we're meeting with the manufacturers.....not one piece of legislation was passed forcing car makers to make auto theft more difficult....and if you are caught, you are released on bail and the thief is out stealing again.

I think everybody is missing a point here if you went in and you had already transitioned.I don't think there should be any problem with serving your country as I am a former veteran. I think what they are saying is that transitioning while you are in the service and taking time away from being readily available for a chosen procedure, it is not military readiness. How is this difficult to understand?

He canot serve as a woman, because he is man. It is not difficult logic.

Just Imagine, Biden and Harris Administration had the border completely opened for them!\nI mean, just imagine these people demanding to enter America illegally and demanding to get everything free! \nI’d difficult for me to even support my family let alone these people!\nI’m an Apache Indian, my ancestors have been here for Hundreds of generations and THIS IS what we had been fighting against! Stopping These Masses From Crossing!

Please don't bluff so much and potray picture of indian citizen's as anti-social elements, thts why countries are making immigrations more difficult for indians....!!!!(as if indians are spreading terrorism....BS)\nWHAT RUBBISH.....DISGUSTING.....!!! \nbetter get updated with latest geo-politics with authentication.....!!!!\nSTOP RUINING IMAGE OF INDIANS....!!! WORLD WANTS INDIAN'S. SHOW SOME RESPECT TO FELLOW CITIZEN'S.....!!!!\nSTOP LYING BLUFFING and spread wrong news.....!!!!

If you come here to have kids, so they birthright citizenship, just keep in mind you have entered our country illegally and therefore subject to deportation. You created the situation you are in. Your kids may be citizens, but you are not. You may be forced to make a difficult decision. Leave without your kids or take them with you.

I love it when CNN *pretends* to be a news network. They waste time reporting on fantasy scenarios that *never* happen. There is not a tariff war with Colombia. Trump was merely negotiating with the Colombian president using hardball tactics. Why is that so difficult to understand? These talking heads aren't real journalists.

President trump i was your fan,and im still your fan now and u will succeed its my own personal beliefs on you definitely will succeed, unfortunately not everyone going to fell the same good feelings for you, you cant win over every single human beings on this entire world,you can try harder anyway you can but i do apologise every body cant love you,good way not wad way why?

You are totally right about everything i do love your mentality keep giving, keep giving why? not keep receiving im sorry i changed the system completely i do apologise its new system's no moore extra help others every body is dead may true god be your side i know you believe in you own god jegus Christ its beautiful to believe in great lord jegus Christ easy rules, welcome to United States of America difficult to get there

Evil men make it difficult by complicating and twisting truth leaving deception and men confused deception makes it difficult because people are left confused to understand  but the wise will understand to discern the wolves at the gates who seek harm to the sheep we have real Islamic jihad enemies who make things difficult by being a thorn to the way to life bringing destruction upon their own selves

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this. But it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. I don’t shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA—at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From today on, Colombia is open to the entire world with open arms. We are builders of freedom, life, and humanity. \n \nI am informed that you imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Well, I need to stock up on coffee. It's going to be difficult to stock up on bananas though ?. Don the Con still hasn't lowered grocery prices infact they're going up. You are a bully and a liar Don the Con ?.
