Americans dont really do agriculture work. Their not going to sit their and pay the average american 20 to 25 dollars an hour and keep food prices the same. How are they going to round up 15 million illegals anyways? How are they going to find all 15 million illegals? Their not going to. People are complaining about the price of eggs and pork and i would love to see the price of these things when they have to start paying people 20 to 25 dollars and i almost guarantee people would stop eating pork or eggs.

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

Illegal means Illegal ! The laws don't bend for Americans, why should it be ok for Illegal immigrants that have snuck in ?????

Why those 14000 Indians ? were arrested at Canadian and USA borders ??, is it because America having to much ?Indian here already who took Americans jobs ???

Get Americans dream and now Americans Great from India

How many Americans who voted for Trump 3 times are, in fact, drug addicts?

100s of thousands of AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN died for this nation so that millions of ILLEGAL ALIENS could just put up their middle finger and say suck on this ???? Civil war inevitable and the targets won't be too hard to figure out.

100% healthier than American

I find it completely weird how much the American economy depends on exploiting so called illegal immigrants and yet so many act like that isn’t the case! It’s wild!

A lot of people are hating her because she did the right thing coming here legally the right way , Everyone in this country ancestors are Illegal Immigrants all europeans the ones who owns this lands Is the first nations the really true Native Americans.

Let american to do work into the dirty farm and let them work construction work

Lower prices?! Of course that would be nice. Economically speaking, that means that a vast number of people want deflation. It could work in an economy not dependent on excess and consumerism, but the US economy is propped up on speculation and buying out of want rather than need. Deflation is considered an economic failure in this country. We target 2% inflation for fear that without it, people will buy less now and then there will be a downward correction on output and then jobs. \nIn any case, broad tariffs won’t be the answer to lower prices. A global economy is an efficient one, but often unfair or unkind in specific localities. The US has benefited from globalization and low cost labor elsewhere for decades. But the pendulum swung too far and now many Americans are feeling left behind. Tariffs could bring back jobs but on a 5 to 10 year timeline, not one 4-year presidential term, much less in a year.

Does it take a woman from another country to take trump down while American men celebrate him . Go Claudia!!

Headline is Trump is lying to American people.

The only thing this stupid president is going to get is to make the American people's lives more miserable every day. I still think this election was a big fraud implemented by Elon Musk. Somehow, these elections were rigged. I don't think the American people is that stupid.

Sheinbaum has Constitutional Majority in Mexican congress Ahe can Make consitutional reforms that would criple all American Companies in Mexico territory.

Mexico or Canada's response to Trump tariffs mean nothing. Mexico and Canada will do what they're told or be completely cut out of the American economy. Mexico and Canada take orders they do not give them. Dollar for dollar free trade, after that 100% tariffs.

Donald Drumpf has never paid for a thing in his life, he has cheated his way through life and made other people pay. Does anyone believe he understands the implications of these tariffs on American citizens? American people and companies will pay the price for his bad, egotistical decisions.

cNN news are against the American legal citizens. Don't listen to this news channel. Support MR. Trump ????????

The reality is, the U.S. takes 50% of ALL THE WORLD’S immigrants, LEGALLY! That’s over 1 million per year! And honestly, we cannot afford it anymore.\n\nBut Biden, Harris, CNN and the rest of the mainstream media have promoted and HELPED 20 million illegal aliens entering the U.S. without proper vetting and CLEARLY AGAINST American law!\n\nNow CNN is supporting illegal immigration AGAIN!\n\nStop CNN! What a woke, lost channel. Notice I didn’t call than a news station. They’re not. Just massively biased op-eds.

American is about to be a third world country

Mexican government sold out their workers for $14 a day wages. Maquiladoras keep workers in life long poverty. American manufacturing jobs went overseas and caused homelessness and economic hardship for blue collar workers . Now Musk will plan to open a Tesla factory in Mexico and pay poverty wages.

Mark my words: mass deportations and tariffs are going to hurt us more than anyone. Trump’s antagonistic policies will not serve American in any way other than to keep us from moving forward. Drugs will continue to come in because demand won’t be solved. Inequality will increase because the poor will carry the expense of increased cost of goods. Infrastructure won’t get built and farms will lack labor because of lack of migration. People will remain undocumented because our immigration system sucks. Hateful people will become more hateful because they believed in lies and will seek a scapegoat.

All the knuckle draggers that voted for this bozo trump, I hope you enjoy the higher prices that will definitely come with these idiotic tariffs..Tariffs are a tax on Americans..

Great send back to India free living on American taxpayers money

Charge $10,000 dollars for every illegal they allow across their borders into America. American tax payer tired of footing the bill

I have huge respects for Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo the President of the United States of Mexico ?????? she has valid points. I hope both countries can work together EQUALLY (key word) for the best of both countries. As an American (love Mexico ??) I will acknowledge and call out the US for being BULLIES (don’t get me started with how exactly this country was founded ?….the US Government has a lot of innocent blood ? on their hands)….again it’s about RESPECT which I hope Trump will do(but let’s be real ….i doubt)

It’s sad that I’m outwardly hoping other world leaders school OUR OWN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. Pres Sheinbaum has made a great start of it.

America is showing their weakness...being uncompetitive on the world stage. Ill boycott any American goods and buy local thank you very much!

Trump through strength and never give up will kick ass on his promises. Thank god you Americans voted him in.

Seems like all countries will do tariffs on American goods

I can't take CNN advertisement, I instantly click away, Asi sse it as an insult to my intelligence are you actually trying to make American people dumb, and stupid ?\nAnd you can't live in USA unless your sick and have a condition that require a pill from pill TV ? \nAre people really this dumb that they can't see what takes place. Something are very wrong when American people can't point out USA on a world map ? instead of tarifs maybe you should try education

It's called a trade war for a reason. Time for Americans to have some skin in the game. It's a small price to pay for long-term gain. The whiners were always gonna whine anyway.

And they all expect the American taxpayer to bankroll their entire “ American dream”, while we struggle and fall behind.

Wow! As an independent black, female who voted Trump as POTUS I am unhappy a black woman is not a cabinet nominee! I think a black female SBA head would have been great - if married I want her to have a black male spouse - to exemplify black essence and love. I do care if picks reflect Caucasian, African and Asian Americans with a sprinkling of other cultures. The need for all racial groups to be represented and have unique economic and basic needs addressed by cabinet picks is fundamental to unify our country!

It’s crazy how many Americans just are trying to fight all the time some people are just mad because they don’t know how to read

“Mexico and other Central American countries” MEXICO IS NOT CENTRAL AMERICA! For fucks sake!

Trump knows nothing! Whatever he says are lies. He just loves to treath whoever is in his sight.\nImmigration and drugs problems are of the US because its own needs of cheap labor and huge numbers of drug users. It’s so misleading to just declare that it’s other countries, and not the US responsibility. That media treats trump’s sayings with real significance is astonishing…, as if it’s not clear what djt is all nonsense. Precisely this 2024 US border crossings are at its lowest, yet ignorants, only as USers can be, voted for trump because of his lies, not because reality. That sick it is…FYI: Americans are all those born, or naturalized, in any country in the American continent, not only the US. Argentinians, Guatemaltecans, Mexicans, etc. (looking at a map may help understand how many citizens in this continent are indeed Americans.)The only crack in the continent is man made, by USers of course, the Panama Canal. America, as the continent was named before USers settled in this side of the ocean, is a nice one piece of wonderful land, where the US is occupying only a small piece in the northern side of the continent, that is, of America. US greed and ignorance can’t continue to define the world…

What has Mexico done to “control the migrants?” We have millions of people who crossed over into the USA. We are seeing it in our cities and feeling it in our pocketbooks! Just more lies. Someone has emboldened that Mexican President to think she can lie about how she has “helped stop or slow the migration into the US” when she knows dang well what she is doing (or not doing) and who she is doing it for. Your average Americans are not that gullible and we know exactly what is going on. And CNN needs to stop the lying too! Have you guys learned nothing?

I think the President has very limited power to affect prices most Americans are concerned about. The Justice Dept can prosecute price fixing, Commerce can go after monopolies but President cannot snap his fingers and lower the price of eggs or your rent. He has no power over interest rates. Unfortunately the President can raise inflation with dumb policies.

News readers are a funny bunch... he was about to say most Americans want price rises, and only just caught himself....!

The people want lower prices, but they hired the candidate that cares the least about the lives of the average American workers.

As long as Americans supply cartels with american made Guns...america will always have drugs..america loves drugs..??

Read the full letter CNN! Must of the killing I'm Mexico is due to the illegal guns by Americans into Mexico. We have drug problems here but Mexico where the drugs are coming from don't. Sounds like we have bunch of junkies in America.

Time to start boycotting all American consumer goods, what say you the world?

Well, she is writting to an idiot the thing is this is united states policy and this is the fact the American people are very stupid.

someone please ask that presidential lady in mexico if she knows how we might decide to hold her and her countrymen accountable for those 300,000 Americans we loved so very much! importing death in America and then talking tough is not acceptable..

The end result of all those new tariffs is you the American people will pay those tariffs & you wanted this idiot running the country. Especially when you want cheaper prices.?
