Because greed, power and money has made Venezuelan try to escape want America has done to their country. They’re over 500 American companies. America pays. $325 billion for oil products. Americans have invaded that country for profit. They just showed you what happens with power, greed, and money as their weapons!. As Americans, we must Unite as 1! Drop, your weapons of hate and ban together to take control of the dynamics that we live in! Or we can become and will spiral as next third world country!\n\n9.3 million Venezuelans are moderately to severely food insecure – one-third of the population. According to the United Nations, 7 million Venezuelans urgently need humanitarian assistance. More than 5.4 million Venezuelans have fled the country.

Why are you wasting your time CNN with this kind of non sense? Transgender seriously??? In military seriously?? Other countries are watching and laughing at you. CNN you should have realized this won’t work for America and you are still on the same path. They are only two Genders, male and female ( we have figured this out many years ago and we are done here )\n\nLet’s put our energy and focus on things that need to be figured out. God bless America and Trump !

America will never be as good as it was before about 1990 when all the 3rd world people started coming in droves. there is a reason everything south of the border is the way it is, and it is not the government. it is the people. look at the inventions, scientific discovery, technology, medicine, that has come from our country, what have the done for the world in the countries below us? NOTHING. being from CNN they are probably happy about this.

The tangerine scream throwing a tantrum like a big fat brainless baby. Well done, America, well done.

Thank god we got someone with a brain in the white house trump done more good for America in 4 days then brain dead Biden done in 4 years trumps good for his word maga

1000% support New tariff 25% Feb 1, 2025 for Colombia, New tariff 50% March 1, New tariff 75% April 1, 2025 May 1, 2025 Sanction Colombia President. June 1, 2025 stop wise done go back to stone age. Colombia you need great America more than we need you crown,. Go back to stone age. STOP aid to any country refusing to take back their illegal migrants.

4 years of this nonsense and chaos. I guess America needs to see just how bad it can be, to finally be done with Maga nonsense.

Good! America needs to start taking care of its it's people FIRST, we have citizens of all races and religious backgrounds and they matter! We can only do so much and it has to be done the right way! We cant open borders and continue to destroy our country!!!

This man been in office only 7 days and he's delivering most of his promises, ofc yet more to come but well done , let's go AMERICA ??

? Mexico escorting illegals by the tens of thousands to our border, that needs to stop today! Have all the faith in the world that our President will get it done ??America is done with the BS.?

and Petro backfired with tariffs. Well done Petro. Also, all countries in Latin America should request a visa to enter any Latin America countries to all USA citizens.

People dont want to mess with America. They will find out. America has had enough. The Bear is done being poked.

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS INCOMPLETE REPORTING: The President of Colombia clearly said he would accept deportees IF they arrive on a passenger plane as has always been done and which costs less than half of the expense of a military plane. The problem is the United State’s insistence on using military planes. I swear folks, it’s just getting started: threatening to invade Panama, the closest ally in Latin America, threatening the prime minister of Denmark, a historic ally. Anyone remember Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland?

Trump has done more for America and Americans in 4 days that Biden and the Democrats did in 4 years. None of this would be necessary if Biden had protected our southern border.

CNN already spreading leftist propaganda. Columbia has already folded and offered to fly them back with the President’s plane. Amazing what a President gets done when he puts America first and is not a weakling like our last one.

I dont live in America but well done Trump, if you are legal nothing to worry about so yeah amazing move . Wish we had him here

Canada needs to be done being polite!! Don't accept America's illegals! We need to band together so we can show these lawbreakers that the only place to go is BACK to where they came from!!

My mum was born in America British and Irish parents she is an American citizen. UK has done this for years glad Americans are waking up?

Yesterday, the President stated he would like to put the Stars and Stripes on the surface of Mars, so the first thing that needs to be done is for the Trump Administration to DECLASSIFY the currently-secret abilities of many U.S. aerospace operations and still-secret grid-scale electric power generation systems!\n\nWhy is Lockheed Martin’s 40-megawatts-in-a-home-fridge-sized FUZOR power generator technology still classified? Why is the 5000+ MPH-capable 1996-era “The Green Lady” ZIP-fueled (Boranes) hypersonic recon aircraft still secret? Why is the 2010-era 15,000 MPH capable Spearfisher hypersonic aircraft still secret? Why is the SR-75 (aka Brilliant Buzzard / Senior Citizen) carrier aircraft with its on-the-back Spaceplane still secret? Why are the wingless Electrostatics-based propulsion “The Silent Ones” spacecraft still secret and WHY is the GWASER-based (Gravity Wave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) cargo-carrying deep space-capable vessels still being kept classified from use by the American public and industry?\n\nDeclassify all the above and start with the technology that America already has so it can quickly commercialize currently-secret deep space transportation systems and space-ready habitation technology!

I pray for them and My heart hurts for them but immigration needs to be applied for properly and legally and I thank Good we have a President and Vice President and proper Government officals in office again??I pray for every soul who wants to come into country but they must abide by law and do it properly! My life was threatened by an illegal I was working with and when I report nothing was done?We need law and order in our country again and the attacks coming from the criminals and terrorists The Biden admin let in are immenant???Pray they do not blow whole country up as there is 60 thousand pounds of missing fertalizer .That's what was used in Oklahoma City. I believe we must pray hard for the safety of our country?May God Bless and keep our United States of America safe from the terrorists allowed in by Biden Administration????I pray constantly for safety of our Beautiful Country

This is absolutely ridiculous!! It is not a RIGHT to come into our country. It is something that legal immigrants spend months to years and a lot of personal money to do. Just like most of our ancestors. We have lost a family member and a friend to fentanyl. I support closing the borders and deportations after that clown of a job the Biden admin has done these past four years. Our country has never been weaker than one day ago. So grateful we finally have a president that is pro-America. That is how it SHOULD be. If a country’s leaders aren’t doing their job to follow the governments laws and they aren’t making their own country safe for their citizens that is on them. Not the USA to allow anyone and everyone in. Crime is rampant. Drugs are flowing across the border. This is needed and you are manipulating truth.

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

Let them go. What country does what the America has done. It illegal to come into this country without permission.

We have Unemployment and Homeless issues here in North America. Why should we make the problem worse by opening up our borders to Illegal Immigrants who are practically invading our Country and taking away from our Citizens who are already paying the price for damage done by our own Government.

?? America needs to impose tariffs on Mexico!!! I’m 1000% for it. It cost way more to pay for illegals once they’re here. They haven’t done anything to stop the flow of illegals. ❤ Straight Arrow News, no censorship like other media.

America patriots will end illegal alien birthright citizenship one way or the other. Americans are done with the BS!!!

I’ve held my tongue on this long enough, but the writing’s on the wall — Canada is cooked.\n\nOur finance minister calls it a “vibecession”, as if we’re imagining the economy sputtering. But here’s the reality: GDP growth at 0.1%, per capita GDP down 0.5%, and youth unemployment at 13.5%.\n\nThere’s the recent bait-and-switch $250 stimulus cheque — an ill-disguised vote buying grift. It was scrapped when the government realized it would add $4.6 billion to an already projected $60 billion deficit. \n\nThrow in a two-month sales tax holiday announced without thinking about the logistics, leaving businesses scrambling. Some aren’t even participating because it’s not worth the headache.\n\nHousing starts are at a 10-year low, the housing accelerator fund has delivered zero new homes, housing prices have left wage growth in the dust, and immigration has blown past what our infrastructure can handle. \n\nMeanwhile, the CBSA isn’t bothering to track expired international student visas. After all, someone has to keep the for-profit diploma mills thriving and the service industry fully staffed.\n\nCanada Post is falling apart under strikes, crippling small businesses, and 47% of job growth in the last five years has come from the public sector while our capital markets and innovation stagnate. \n\nThe $CAD is currently plummeting against the $USD, as the Bank of Canada scrambles to firefight the government’s incompetence with two jumbo 0.5% interest rate cuts.\n\nAnd let’s not ignore the trade war brewing with our historical ally, the U.S.. Trump has made it clear he’ll punish our abysmal border policies, which have allowed fentanyl to flood into America unchecked, with a 25% tariff on Canadian exports.\n\nIf you’re trying to get ahead — building jobs, working for yourself, pooling capital to invest, why bother?— the proposed 66% capital gains inclusion rate over $250,000 punishes you for taking risks and succeeding.\n\nAsk yourself: are you happy with the state of Canada right now? Honestly. Because it doesn’t feel like the same country I grew up in, went to school in, worked in, served in, and built a business in.\n\nI’m done. For once in my life, I don’t want to be Canadian anymore.

Anyone here that has done this. What do u expect America to do for u when u come here illegal ? N this many ?\nWhat do u expect to be done ?

She has integrity and her family members have been ?? America long enough to have done the paperwork ? for a Greencard..if they drivers license ? they should have GreenCard

It's crystal clear that immigration is the number one concern in Britain, Canada, America, and all over the west.\nSecuring the borders is the one thing that the people want.\nAnd it's also the one thing the ruling class will NEVER allow. Just look at what they have done to this world. We ain't gonna vote our way out of this, hope you all realize that.

Mexico isn't your backyard-it's your trade partner.\nThis relationship isn't charity; it's mutually beneficial. Blaming Mexico for substance use issues ignores your responsibility as the largest demand drivers. Treat Mexico like a partner, not an incompetent employee, and take responsibility for your share of the problem. Blaming Mexico for the fentanyl issue is like an alcoholic blaming the bottle shop, even junior is an coke addict Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than Donald Trump. It's about time someone stood up to n Trump and promised him a dose of his own medicine. Well done Mexico. Trump claims to be a gifted negotiator, but all he is is a self-glorifying bully. Claudia Sheinbaum has more balls than\nDonald\nTrump. But it is not Mexico and Canada who has a drug problem. It is America:) Americans don't realize how much they have advanced and grown, and know nothing of their marvelous culture. My president is an award winning environmental scientist with MULTIPLE degrees. We got it right!\nViva Mexico ??

If Trump’s a fighter, he’s just telegraphed all of his punches. ?\nGiven China, Mexico & Canada enough warning for them to collaborate against America. \nWell done, MAGA morons.\nTrump has to wait until January 20th.\nXi, Sheinbaum & Trudeau, meanwhile, can ready their attack today. ?????????

Did she really just say Mexico has done a lot to help the Biden administration control the flow of migrants into America? That is the most laughable and ridiculous thing I’ve heard on CNN to date.

Let me get this straight it’s ok to tax our own (rich Americans) but completely not ok to tax other countries? A yes you may think if supply decreases a demand stays the same that prices go up but if done right we pick up that supply here in America making us stronger.

I got a box of something that a factor ??a fact a serious box is a fact ????yes sir CNN ?I got this 20sq.feet to sure tell you right now man what's up now Department of Defense. A fact ???yes sir right now man a fact because who over us and who under us a factor ?yes sir man is there a bunker for United States of America right now we can get in to save our lives from the treason he doing right now because we sure looking for several ?yes hurry up and get us a place to get in right now ?hell yes facts because what he done did is straight up treason.

Lol MEXICO NEEDS US. Trump should tear up NAFTA Deal. America is done be taking advantage of.

It's a problem and the only way to not see it as one is to remove your head.\n\nI'm down to seeing whatever measures needed to get rid of all if not most illegal aliens. The Democrats have been wrong at every step on this issue and have done but incentives people to come at great peril (Democrats are the ones if who have treated these poor people as political pawns).\n\nThey are also WRONG about it being geopolitical issue in South America. Most people entering the US illegally have not even been from Central or South America (if they are from Mexico they don't even get let in). But from China, Turkey, Ukraine, Pakistan, (not exactly countries that loves us).\n\nThese people have to make it through the Darien Gap and then fend off cartels from ripping them off. I also want to see Trump go after people who helped these illegals get here–not just cartels.

Canada is meant for hunters only. I give it 50 year tops, and it will be deserted. It should go back to the natives.\n\nOnce America falls, Canada is done. Then Mexico will be the Eldorado.\n\nThe mighty BRICS is going to crumble the West, including the Canadian wasteland . \n\nSorry, nothing goes on forever.

Why did Canada's a lot illegal immigrants have been pouring into canada for years? This non's arrogant, American foolishness that everybody's only come to America is not true. A lot of foreigners use America as a stamping Stone to go to Canada, there's videos and proof on it. Just like in Europe has the same migration problem. It's because of the West and what England has done to all these countries hundreds of years ago they're paying the price now.

****Oh, the liberal tears. Illegal immigration and its ramifications - at its current pace - will eventually bankrupt this country. It has done just that to California. Then, they stick out their hands to the federal government to bail them out. Think of what it takes to house, educate, incarcerate, deal with medical costs...etc. just ONE illegal alien. Then multiply that times untold MILLIONS, then you have a disaster. America is set to become just like the country from which they fled!

See, I know this is wrong. But we have to be honest I am an Indian but moved to America. I stayed in New Jersey and the environment we created there is absurd. We made the place dirty, uncivilized behaviour and the list is long. This is happening in Canada too. Canadians identify everyone as Indians but the major problem they have is with Khalistanis. They have become a menace, gun violence, crimes and a shit ton of things done by these people. There is always a reaction and it is unfortunate that the innocent ones has to face the reaction. We Indians only look at the good ones as an example when it comes to Indian immigrants, but the chaos and misconduct is created by the rest of the uncivilized Indians who are huge in Numbers. My experience girlfriend was Canadian, her mother owned a departmental store she caught and called cops on many occasions were our peyare caught on camera stealing, damaging the store and also peeing right in the corner of the store. I saw all these footage. The major problem with Canada is most of the Indian immigrants that went there were uneducated and directly went to Canada from Indian villages, it's a cultural shock for them and during the initial period everyone behaved in a uncivilized manner. Please understand the root cause of the issue. If I am a guest at your house and keep on causing harm to your home and if this keeps on repeating you will end up frustrated.

The problem is dems complain about trump lying on buying a mile long of cheeseburgers and never complain about the 20m unknown people dems just let in that broke the law and ARE TAKING YOUR BENEFITS! After is all set and done this mess will costs us close to a trillion. Any state that wants to be a sanctuary for ilegals DO NOT ASK FOR FEDERAL FUNDS( you are breaking the law by not following it or ignoring it) go explain the citizens you represent that you feel illegals are more important than US citizens. Gop please end the filibuster and change America forever, Democrats cannot be trusted ever again. Never ever again

I promise you it will get done regardless of what the lefties think. The lefties have had it for 4 years and did nothing. On top of that making America pay for war. Causing everything to go up. What has happened is people are tired of it. You got nobody to blame but the Democratic party

Not sure why she keeps doubting this plan but what if they do it in the right way and America becomes better. We will never know because it's never been done at this scale but im behind it because things need to change asap.

Once you move inside America, you want American politicians to care about people inside America rather than people outside America. The politician's first duty is towards his/her citizens. You cannot have homeless Americans while illegal immigrants are being put up in hotels. \nThe real question is, does the USA need more unskilled people, whose primary contribution is manual labor? More and more jobs are going to be lost to AI/Robotics. Think of the scenario where you will have vast swathes of the population unemployed or underemployed. Is that desirable? Think of the chaos that will cause. More doctors and scientists are always welcome to immigrate anytime, and such folks all do so legally. \nThere are enough people already in America to do what needs to be done. We need to first build infrastructure using existing citizens to enable the next wave of immigrants (several years later) to move here. You just cannot have more and more people put more pressure on an already crumbling and ageing infrastructure, driving up rents for low-income Americans.

This man is a liar!!! These people are destroying NYC!!Even the kids are criminals!!! This very same America Mr destroyed poor families on drugs but want to talk about separation of illegals……Trump won for that reason and he will get the job done!!! Wait for it!!

The rest of the planet rolls it's eyes, well done America the majority of you are dumb turkeys that just voted for thanksgiving. The rest of you have our deepest sympathies.

May the will of American ancestors be done . God bless America ??

Trump may have won the 2024 election, will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2025 to become the 47th U.S. President, but Trump isn’t my president. Allow me to explain. There are certain attributes that define a U.S. president. A U.S. president places the citizens of this country ahead of his own personal interests. Trump doesn’t do that (hasn’t done that). Trump is self serving. On Jan ’21, Trump became an insurrectionist. Many citizens and police officers were injured and one police officers lost his life. According to the Constitution (the Supreme Court disagrees with me), Trump incited citizens to overthrown the certification of the 2020 election. Insurrection is one of the lowest acts any American can do, let alone a U.S. President. Trump states that the “insurrection” falls under immunity for “official acts”. Since when is “insurrection” an “official presidential duty”? Trump is a known Master Liar. This is beyond a moment when a president estimates, guesses and exaggerate numbers, figures and facts. Trump just lies – over 2k+ lies. Trump cannot be trusted in telling Americans the truth. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a lie flies out! Trump doesn’t appear to be able to help himself. One lie after another. Spreading the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” and not providing legal evidence is an unforgivable act that Americans should #NEVER forget. MAGA, selected GOP, Christian Nationalists don’t appear to be troubled that Trump cannot tell the truth. To me, the truth strengthens the bond of trust – I have NO Trust for Trump! MAGA, Christian Nationalists and some selected GOP – I may use big words that you don’t comprehend such as: Liar, Convicted Felon, sexual misconduct, Insurrection, Fraud, election interference, Unauthorized Possession of classified documents. These are some, not ALL, of the words that defines Trump and his actions. These things do NOT appear to cause any concerns with the 71.2m people who cast their vote in the Nov 5th ’24 presidential election. Trump had unauthorized possession of classified material. (I am not certain what Classified Material Trump possessed, but if these documents would put my friends, my family and I in harm’s way – it’s a problem.) Again, those who voted for Trump, the 71.2m people, #NEVER thought about this. If they had, Trump would #NEVER have received their vote. America has a short attention span. How quickly have we forgotten that Trump’s inaction of Covid-19 could have prevented many from becoming ill and millions losing their lives. (If one of your loved ones have passed due to Covid-19, you will remember Trump’s inability to deal and handle the situation. It is something you will #NEVER forget.) I will not write a book here, but the listed reasons above is why Trump may be the 47th President of the United States, but he isn’t my president. My president would have #NEVER done these things to an American.
