I am totally agree USA border need to secure to stop illegal immigrants and I support America first agenda but I don't understand how tarrif gonna help American economy.Just Imagine when we put tarrif on trade that means US importer going to pay that or find alternative in short period of time this is going to increase inflation in USA.Once prices up it's very hard to bring it down we already seen in pandemic.We gone through pandemic inflation increase and then Ukraine war increase gas prices and inflation went up and now trade war with biggest trade partners this is going to be another economic damage and this is big one.

This is why America loves and supports President Trump, he means what he says. FAFO ?

Your fault Trump for not clearing all flights first. Just because you ordered it in America, does not mean other Countries are going to bow down to your wishes.... your Vendictive like a child... you don't care for others....

he so dumb..he acts without looking into anything..costing tax payers millions to use military for deportation...you wanted him now ull pay for it..tarriffs means tarriffs right back at you..america will suffer more than colombia w tarrifs

Congratulations America electing Trump means you won’t have any country working with you on any level. \n\nNo one like a bully

People emigrate from columbia to the US because the US is wealthier. The tariffs will make Colombia poorer meaning more people trying to migrate to America

Our president of the United States Donald Trump is back. He’s a man of his word and he means what he says. If you’re legal you’re a citizen you’re not getting nothing from the government free he will not bother you but if you’re not, you better watch out cause he’s coming after you. He’s gonna look at after the US citizens, his families and their selves who’s worked all their life to make America a better place in a safe placeyou can best believe that

So every time Trump doesn’t get his way he takes it out on the American people. I guess that’s what America first means.

Democrats lied to illegal immigrants. \nIt’s not a secret that it’s illegal to cross the border through non-legal means.\nBut Democrats are racist and they believe that poor brown countries are special because of skin color. \nThat’s racist , we have a front door through a legal process that every single country on the face of the planet walks through to become a citizen. \nMexico and South America can go through the same damn door. \nThis is Democrat’s fault for lying to them encouraging them to become criminals, breaking US law to come here illegally \nTrump is not separating families. \nDemocrats are separating families because of the lies and false promises that they had no authority to grant.

So what that means is the people are being sent on purpose to destabilize America.

People don’t understand tariffs. It hurts the foreign country far more. It means American companies will not buy from them leading them to lower prices or not do business with America. which is catastrophic for them.

I mean, we can do America First, but man, oh man, is it going to push our historical allies into the arms of others. China is loving this right now.

This is an INVASION! This means WAR!......as any other country would consider this kind of crap!\nRubber b*llets? Mass pepper spray? Tear gas? Shock b*mbs? \nGET OUT OF MY COUNTRY! You bring NOTHING good to America! A herd of toxic violence. \nTHIS BEHAVIOR PROVES WHY NO COUNTRY WANTS this kind.\nHigh voltage electric fencing 4 feet wide, with water 1 foot below the fence! Problem solved.?

Just because you want to come to America doesn't mean you get to. It is a privilege not a right. You must be able to support yourself and your family and not be a burden to Americans. We can't save the whole world. We need to take care of our elderly, homeless and veterans first.

Must everybody live in America ? Are they not aware that many Americans are homeless and in need of jobs and means of sustainable livelihood

That just makes america a little bit better not great, great means we will have the buying power we had before when america was truely great

They are not trying to do mass entey into the United States, they are trying to invade. Treat them as enemies and protect America, by any means

Is it so hard to just migrate legally? I mean, all u have to do is go through the necessary steps and they’ll be able to live in America as an actual citizen. Then they wouldn’t have to worry about something like this.

Just because you waited in Mexico? That doesn’t mean they grant you entrance! Living in America is not a human rights! But a privilege!

As a country there is nothing wrong with Mexico and many Americans retire there. I dont understand why people can't migrate there? I mean they are already there, and living well why do they need to proceed to America?

There are enough Indians all over Europe, Americas and Australia. Many of them specially in the USA and Canada are illegal in high numbers. In Canada and USA, Indians have ruined their own reputation by getting involved into fraud activities, breaking laws of the host countries by bringing people from India and making them work illegally. So, naturally, the rejection rates are much higher for tourist visa and not for business visas as such. The solution is India should build infrastructure inside the country so that people don't need to rush abroad for a better life. Equality doesn't mean providing access to anyone who can potentially misuse the resource of a country.

The problem is poverty and the lock of respect for other people jobs and liveley wood u cant go to roame a d change rome u do what the roman do u can put people out of the job mashing up there lively wood and u are from a diffrent continent not because your parent give birth to you in canad that doesn't mean you have continental right to AMERICA INDIANA DISTROY CANADIAN ECONIMY BUY PUSHING CANADIAN OUT OF THERE JOB NOT SMART! U SET UP YOUR COMMUNITIES TO BE HATE BUY EVERY OTHER RACE

Idk i think you need to realize that we also have our bias in addition to you having yours. Meaning, to most of us , excepting the most left leaning socially progressive pockets and contexts , which even then wouldn’t be viewed that way to us just acceptable lol ?\n\nOur baseline/political middle in Canada is A LOT more left leaning than the baseline normal/political middle in the states. So while people tend to equate your democrats to our liberals or our NDP , and equate your republicans to our conservatives. It’s just not accurate. If you throw our span of parties and American span of parties on the SAME spectrum /polarity line. You might be surprised to realize how shifted left our systems range politically is from the American one. \n\nThis hugely impacts the average normal expectation , what we clutch our pearls at hearing coming out of the mouths of the general public , and our range of what we expect to not hear or see ranted about unless they’re to our view , extremely right leaning politically /social values. \n\nFor us this means that actually genuinely , a lot of America does get experiences by us as bat shit crazy racist homophobic immigrant intolerant culturally and religiously ignorant , and somewhat backwards in larger or smaller amounts ? I know that’s not fun to hear but. Being the most diverse country based so much on immigration means. What is normal and known /familiar and normal so we aren’t ignorant to , is completely different. \n\nFor us we have our pockets usually in more rural less populated areas further away from larger cities where there is more diversity but that’s the same often in many countries that you will find some of the louder racist homophobic intolerant voices typically in places that truly are unfamiliar and ignorant to the experience of growing up with and around much of any diversity of varying kinds. So it’s not to say we don’t have racism and intolerance of course like anywhere we do. It’s just contained and the range and frequency and intensity is MUCH different. We distinguish nuances of diff cultures and religions more easily and in larger numbers we’re more familiar with diff ways of life , language , food, dress , holidays , values and used to a much less segregated way of existing even when we are differnt from each other as the NORM. My parents were both born in the states and my older brother was born there but they moved up here when he was a baby. So nearly all my extended family lives down there and I’m a duelly. And my experiences discussing things with my cousins or visiting absolutely could be described as culture shock at times. The insane things that came out of my own cousins mouths when they hear our friends or partners of various cultures , our not understanding how big a deal and incredibly insulting apparently it is to have assumed someone American was lgbt lol the list goes on. Like I don’t think our most intolerant Pockets can hold a flame to even ur closet to middle a bit intolerant places and contexts in America. Quite honestly. \n\nI think the absolute undying favourable passionate upholding and support of nationalistic, capitalist, hyper individualistic mentality about society as a whole (from my Canadian born and bred perspective lol) makes the differences even more glaring blaring and hard to swallow for us lol. I think more Canadians would feel exactly how that comment stated , that you felt was not fair for us to experience America as. I think the truth is a lot of Canadians are being too polite to let you know that’s exactly how a lot of America comes off to a lot of Canada ?

Thrump brandishes the threat of force and puffs out his chest\n\nAfter having lunch with Sarah Netanyahu in his private club in Florida yesterday, December 4, 2024, Thrump, the next president of the world's leading power, made a thunderous statement; threatening those who hold Israeli hostages and their sponsors with terrible reprisals. We know him well enough and we predict a chaotic and catastrophic mandate worse than the first. But this overly muscular statement helps us predict what the foreign policy of this contested and protesting president will be. He who - during his election campaign - made it known that he is against the war in Ukraine and against war in general, we do not understand how he is going to free the Jewish hostages held by Hamas without resorting to the exaggerated deployment of force? But the most serious thing is that during his next term, he would very much risk leading humanity adrift. How can he not learn the lesson of the student movement that shook America at the very beginning of 2024? And how will he dare to swim against the current? Knowing that American youth have clearly become aware of the Palestinian tragedy, firmly opposing their country's strange foreign policy and vigorously condemning the Zionist takeover of their state affairs? Thrump would do well to take into account the cardinal changes that have taken place in the unanimous awareness of international public opinion; otherwise he will be grilled alive. It is not a single man - even if it means being the President of the UNITED STATES of America - who will stop the inexorable march of history. The Palestinian cause obeys this logic of evolution and what has been imposed by force of arms for 75 years has reached its fateful deadline. Today's world is no longer the world of yesterday and Thrump has an interest in drawing the necessary conclusions. The war of liberation will continue with or without him. Israel will be forced to fear international law and Netanyahu will have to serve his sentence emanating from the International Court of Justice incessantly. This is the common sense of history and this is what will drastically comfort international public opinion.

Why doesn’t dumpster fire just say what he really means, “make America white again”

Wow strawberries from Mexico during the winter the year 2024 16.oz $8.00 per pint and my boss at the bakery where I work at is not going to be happy in the year 2025 when Mexico signs in the teriffis against the United States of America and when Trump signs 25% treiffis on Mexico that means my boss will pay $10.00 dollars 16. oz per pint of strawberry's during the winter of 2025 ? sad when Americans will lose their jobs

The Mexican president can either get on board and they actually police their side of our border and help stop the fentanyl, cartels and illegal migrants or Trump will send in special forces to deal with cartels after they make the terrorist list. Far as the mass deportation? Buckle up buttercup because its coming i don't think Trump would care if they all get dumped out at air strips in Central America i mean they got themselves there to come up and cross illegally here so they can find their way to where they came from from there.

Simple solution if you guys don't like this, don't trade with America. Us here in Australia will. But if the U.S. ain't good enough for you guys to trade with, don't be trying to trade with us down here in Australia. Our natural resources are for those we deem worthy, and if the U.S. isn't trading with you, you ain't worth our time. We can make trillions without you guys, by all means, go trade with China, they won't want anything, except for big chunks of land and big chunks of natural resources.

Dear maga believing zombies. The real world is going to greet you very soon. I advice you to watch news channels that are not based in your country. Also, do not watch new of countries from dictatorships like; russia, iran, nort korea, china. It's a small group (dictators) who all behave the same... The world is reacting on your choice to pick a small spoiled child who ruined all his father his money and legacy. Hold on tight for some racism from other countries denying and ignoring you. You choose for a dangerous man to lead your country while he talks about the weirdest things that you see in a SCI-FI or weird fetish movie. Real world is coming to greet you, your wallet, your home, your neighbours, your future plans, EVERY THING. You will cry. Cry. Cry. We (europe) are thinking you (america) is living in this big brother episode... It's weird that 60% of your country never had a mother teaching them how to be a good person?.. What is love and what is hate? I mean, basicss.... America needs education but happily, drump is saying out loud, that he wants to defund education.... Now wonder why.... wonder why? Russia 2.0 :)

America! .... she must be deported because she aided and abetted illegal immigrants. Her attempt to disassociate herself means her family will return because she's still in OUR COUNTRY.

Is anybody that surprised? I mean look at the people Latin America have elected into their positions of power ???‍♂️

Many, many Americans make a distinction between legal immigration and illegal immigration. The center and right are supportive of LEGAL immigration, as it is part of the unique fabric of our country - but are against ILLEGAL immigration. The American left tends to purposefully muddy the waters on this issue, so they can make anyone opposing illegal immigration look like they oppose ALL immigration.\n\nThis is also a distinction that is often muddied or glossed over by Europeans when they try to understand American politics. In Europe, being opposed to immigration, generally means you’re opposed to all of it, legal or illegal. So many Europeans incorrectly view the America center-right as being anti-immigrant. That’s not the situation, at all, in the US.

There's a piece missing in the puzzle. Has anyone asked where's Mexico in all of this? everyone seems to forget that they're America's southern neighbor, and they're not helping with anything to mitigate the border crisis. Mexico has to be sanctioned, because they're not actively partaking in the protection of the shared border with the US, they're allowing immigrants to cross the border unchecked, sparing themselves the trouble of dealing with them. They're throwing the ball in America's court, making immigration America's problem. Since they share the border with America, they have an obligation to combat illegal immigrantion but they're not doing that. They want to get rid of their crimnals and the poverty in their country not by enforcing the law and trying to invest in their infrastructure to enhance the living standards of their people, instead they're encouraging them to move to America to find a better life. America doesn't have to pay the price of Mexico being a failed country. They're turning their backs on their own citizens and trying to get rid of them, obliging them to take the perilous journey across the border where they're prone to crime, drugs, rape, human trafficking, sex trafficking, child abuse and all sorts of tragedies but to them the ends justify the means, and they have the nerves to call America racist and inhumane for not rescuing them from the situation that they created for them in the first place. Since the vast majority of illegal immigrants came across the border with Mexico, they should be deported back to Mexico, and Mexico can take it from there, not our problem anymore

Unbelievable! People are just so ignorant. Trump's new Border czar, Tom Homan said on CBS 60 Minutes, 2 days before the election, that he'd deport illegal immigrants AND legal immigrants AND those born in America who have illegal parents or grandparents. That means mixed-status families would all get deported AND today said the administration would conduct workplace raids!!!! Nothing else to say.

I don't think she understands that a green card does not mean she is a citizen of the United States of America. She is not an American. She is going to be surprised. Poor lady.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Deporting all “illegals” means eliminating about 7.5 million jobs the economy absolutely requires, which nobody else will do. And going after employers does that job even faster. Losing 7.5 million jobs is economic suicide, couple that with outrageous import taxes (ie tariffs) that will skyrocket costs, and we have another Great Depression. And that’s what these clowns are promising to do on day one. When someone tells you they hate government like Republicans do, maybe we shouldn’t be shocked when they suck at running it. Buckle up, America.

I agree, Biden did not give them a very bright future, Biden only cared about Biden, Trump will give everyone a chance and make their lives a whole lot better. I mean a whole lot better everyone’s life in America will be a whole lot better cause Trump actually cares about the country and how to protect it and protect the people. Biden didn’t give a damn.

So let’s see immigrants walk into our country illegally not following the law of our land, Joe Biden and Camila Harris allow them to do it. They bus them to different cities to out the United States dump 30,000 at a time humans dump them in the small communities and the communities are suffering horribly And now the next president is going to come in put them all back on the bus and put them back over the border where they came from and somehow that’s a bad thing so it is a good thing breaking the law and it’s a bad thing in forcing the law I think you guys are really mixed up as to what you want for this country lawless or we’re all held accountable and have to operate under one set of rules except when you don’t like the rules, then we have to change the rules so that you don’t get sad and cry Sorry breaking the laws breaking the law and I think the Biden family is going to find that out because you guys have been hiding some really big secrets from your viewers did your viewers know that Biden was being impeached? Yep he is and it’s been going on now for three years so they have a pretty strong case you know with receipts meaning they have the evidence, not accusations not hearsay not basement hearing it was all open in public. If you want to you can actually go online and listen to the evidence America for yourself because this new station didn’t tell you about it it’s pretty good.

How do people not understand that illegal Immigration is good for America. We need more immigrants. More people just means a bigger economy.

It means TRUMP LIED to the dumbest population of America AGAIN! No surprise!

Did she just say, “We have to take back our Country!?” She is so clueless!? Trump’s MAGA doesn’t want you in the country either!? Smh! When that guy at Trumps Rally said America is for Americans ONLY!? He didn’t mean Yellow, Brown, or black!

I wanna ask you why not move back cause you see black Americans moving there or it’s the high rent price cause Chicago is high as heck too the same prices as Toronto in about being super rich is a stereotype meaning white peoples when they are not the only ones rich I’m just saying no disrespect i will be visiting there hopefully to see for myself cause America is horrible to my community I’m tired of being treated like a freaking slave period smdh

I mean the native tribals must be arguing that the great continent their ancestors knew back 400 years ago is not feeling whatever they called it back then. Funnily enough I have a deep sympathy about the immigration crisis in UK and all of Europe. But this is weirdly hillarious. Sorry I know I don't understand the issue enough. But isn't canada a country made up by immigrants just like USA. Its not like you actually got mixed with natives like Portuguese and Spanish colonisers did in south america. And canada has what? 20 million people for all that land. Bro it is inevitable people coming to these lands wont be lily whites like you hope to. I agree that all people being from India is very suspicious and I feel there might be some invincible hand behind this. Can the central government intervene if proved there is something fishy going on. I mean concentrating in a single city instead of spreading in the country to find job oppurtunities doesn't make sense from my POV.

guys chill. i'm indian. there was fever of going to north america during 2000-2018. when in college many students harboured that ambition. now no more. with explosion of internet in india after Jio advent, we see how life is not so glossy in west. ( i love western ppl.) but we dont want to go to those countries who cant decide who is male or female. indian maybe dirty n poor. but 3 decades later, it will be first world country.(whatever the Fck that term means).

If those living in poverty and poor countries especially south america, woumd stop having aommany children it woukd lessen the burden. They wanna have one person working, be stay at home wife who sells treats on the side while having 3+ kids. They do same even once in america its a reoetitive cycle. Conditions are better here yes, but having 5 kids means you likely wont reach that better life the way you wanted. End up working laborious jobs for life

It’s just such a massive wave of people. I mean look at the population if india. Dunkin Doughnuts applications are going to go through the roof in America

This is phuckin wild!!! The border is completly out of control & it's nothing but mad chaos heading our way!! I mean just look at how they are acting here!!! Smfh they think America is sooooo good but honestly we are struggling to survive over here our damn selves so they are gonna be sadly mistaken once they get here & them funds run out! Great job at the birders right now Kamala ? Biden ? thank you! It's a madhouse & the illegals are acting like wild animals to get over here! wtf

If they keep pouring in like this that means end of America ?? for Americans. ?

they are not indian indian are hindus jains buddhists. and good for the punjabis they will demonstrate to you what your colonial AlieNs have been doing for the last 347 years in KANATA towards native canadian indians from KANATA and what your AlieNs have been doing in america for the last 500 years since 1492 towards the native american indians.and yes i spelled it correct it wasnt canada it was actually KANATA a native word meaning village by native indians.
