This was during Sleepy Joe Biden’s presidency. He allowed this to happen. Actually, the whole democrat party did. During Obama’s time, they were cracking down on illegal migrants, even Hillary spoke against it. But when Biden got into office, he opened the border wide and said, “Come in. We welcome you.” And most of these migrants were not vetted, no paperwork, drugs flowed freely with them along with trafficked women and children. This was an allowed invasion to serve the political interest of the democrats. But glad to know President Trump has closed the border and deporting these illegals. 2025 is the time to get our country back.

Madness.... Thank God Trump won.... United states was really going stupid.. actually

these was actually over a year ago,\nNot on Trumps watch.\nLook at some of the comment date stamps.\nCNN doing what they do best at miss leading news.\nOr somebody posting it again trying to stir up shet.

just keep the americans scared and dumb. Elon musk and donald trump's plan is working way to easily. Too bad americans rather have tiktok instead of actually learning to read.

What the Colombian president did is he showed compassion and kindess to those undocumented immigrants to be treated like actual persons that's why he offered the Convicted Felon/president Trump for those people to be brought to Colombia using presidential plane.

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

I’ve been waiting for my husbands marriage visa for 14 months freezing the legal visa processes for Colombians who are married to a U.S. disabled veteran citizen born and raised in the Midwest is wrong. I pray the President restarts processing legal visas for this married to U.S. citizens \nI am not able to walk well and my only caregiver is my husband so I’m stuck in colombia until my husbands visa is approved. Most people here hate President Petro he has ruined the country and now he is ruining it more we can’t speak out against him but my husband and his family do not support the President of colombia and a ton don’t believe he actually won the election. Colombia has always been a close ally I hope the CIA and Delta Force can fix things in Colombia returning to Uribe and strong U.S. allies. Other countries aren’t U.S. friend but Colombians love the U.S. and please don’t punish the people for the actions of a terrible president who ruined the economy here and is only got 1 year left in office maybe the U.S. intel system and military can “handle” the problem of a president who doesn’t have the support of the people. All my neighbors love Trump.

Why do we have undocumented migrants in the country then cnn who is to blame for not doin there job enforcing border policy and actually vetting them in a orderly fashion this wouldn’t be a problem but instead of helping blame blame vote for us nothing trump does is a problem your news coverage are in accurate depictions of how the public feels

This is why Trump won. These people are truly mental. Why doesn't CNN do an interview live with a group of actual boarder agents on the frontline to allow them to express what they see everyday oh and ask them how many times the Biden administration made them stand down as they watched thousands enter illegally. I want that interview! Oh not to mention a momth ago biden administration sold huge piles of steel for literally pennies before Trump. Democrats claim to work for us and if that's true why are they going against these policies and trying to fight everything. The Democrats only like you if you vote for them. The American people have spoken Democrats! Listen and do your job.

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

Did you guys prefer he started an actual war like Biden, Obama, etc.? The Columbian president is already backing down so all this negativity is moot. Why won't you report that? A winning Trump doesn't fit your narrative?

Trump preferred to distract people from inflation with talk of adding Greenland to the United States or seizing the Panama Canal.\n\n“It’s catnip and it causes everybody to stop paying attention to their actual economic agenda, which has nothing to do with lowering costs and everything to do with rigging the economy to help the Mar-a-Lago crowd

For the troll Trump posters here. It was not resolved. As a matter of fact as of 3 hours ago us planes and Military pains are not permitted into Colombian airspace. There was no resolution in Columbia certainly did not crumble they'll be taxed in America you want the coffee from them you'll be paying for it and Trump with his cocaine addiction since 1991 is probably going to be itchy and antsy more than ever some people look at the TV sets you can tell when he's actually doing lines

I love how everything trumps doing is actually working !

Weren’t the people of Columbia rioting crying because of petro ? A rigged corruption election .. he speaks as he was actually elected by his people then he tweets back to Trump about freedom in Colombia … I thought they came to the USA and were seeking asylum can’t even make this up .. CNN is so lost .. u think the world is that dumb

Remember all this when America is isolated from the rest of the globe ! When a natural catastrophe happens in America and no one comes to our aide . Or North Korea decides to attack America . Along with Russia and China ! Who is coming to our aide ? Trump is actually isolating us from the globe ! And here , in America , we cheer for his spiteful ways . But what we are really cheering is the dangerous and dumb leadership of compromising OUR National Security , period .

So, trump hits american companies buying stuff from columbia with a tariff. Columbia does not pay the tariff and it is not going to affect anyone but the american consumer who the american companies, who paid the hidden tax he just imposes on us, the consumer, won't actually pay in the long run because that tariff just becomes part of their cost of goods that they will add to their sales prices.

Yeah this is what happens when you have a leader that actually has a backbone that walks his talk. Took less than an hour for Colombian president to recognize Trump ain't Biden and start actin right and accept those planes lol.

No. Military planes is threatening to any country!Colombia doesn't like the president sending them on military planes. He said he will accept the colombians if they are transferred in the normal planes migrants have always came back on. Actually the military planes cost us tax payers 20,000 a flight per hour. The traditional planes cost 8000. So just stick to the normal planes and everyone wins. It really is,all silly. Stupid news. Let's put some regulations on real estate market. So tired of drug money laundering used to buy homes and I cannot afford a home. This is just trump tv unnecessary drama!

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

CNN, as usual, distorting the facts in an effort to manipulate/brainwash their viewers. There was NOT 271,000 deportations by ICE under Biden in 2024. That figure reflects the people who were already AT the border, and then detained/sent back. The figures Trump's Admin released are the number of illegals that ICE actually rounded up within the US... and the reason there were so many illegals AT the border under Biden is because under his pathetic Administration the border was wide-open. That's NOT the case under Trump, who immediately shut down the border. CNN is pure GARBAGE. They, like all the illegals, should be deported as well!!

UPDATE: After President Trump SLAMMED Colombia with sanctions, Colombian President Gustavo Petro now says he will be sending the presidential plane to pick up deportees from the US, per CNN\n\nThat didn’t take long! ?\n\nTHIS is what strong leadership looks like. America is back. Let that sink in! Other counties actually respect strength and not just a “don’t” ??‍♂️?

If you have brains, and you stop and actually think about what Pres. Trump has done, and what he plans on doing; all of his actions make sense and are totally justified. You just have to have a non- partisan mindset.

He is an IDIOT! Could someone tell him that tariffs cost Americans!!!\nIt doesn't affect the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing.\n\nCOUNTRIES ARE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR ANERICANS TO LIVE!\n\nTrump thinks he's being a tough guy. Wow 25% up to 50% against the countries. WRONG STABLE GENIUS WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAY THAT 25% TARIFFS.\n\nCan someone send him a book explaining who actually pay tariffs!!!!

REVENUE DOESN'T THIS MAN KNOW THAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY THESE TARIFFS ??WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE ACTUALLY TELL DONALD TRUMP TO WAKE THE HELL UP!!!??

My parent are from Colombia. They voted in an actual marxist as president. I voted for Trump.

Trump is actually stupid

I know most of y'all's hate for Trump will not make you see the good thing in what he's done. You just going to keep talking about Colombian coffee costing more, even though Trump's strategy actually worked and the Colombian President used his plane to welcome his people

How embarrassing for CNN that they actually released this video after the Colombian President caved to President Trump demands and even offered planes for deportations.?

So trump thought it was that easy. People actually voted for the doche. The idiots ?

I wish President Trump would learn how tariffs actually work.

So how's that strong man bullying working out for you tRump? Are crops are going to waste in the field because you're scaring people and you're not even deporting as many people as Biden did without all the drama! You know you could actually work with some of these countries and get a much better return.

Columbia already folded to Trump and agreed to take them back. There's a REAL President that knows how to get things done! Seems like this comment section and CNN doesn't keep up to what's actually happening

It costs 60,000 an hour to operate one military cargo plane.8,000 dollars an hour for a civilian aircraft capable of carrying 5X the passengers. These flights were already happening, trump trying to make a scene by switching to military aircraft, Unfortunately, these countries won’t let military aircraft land. Nothing to do with actually refusing returning nationals

Too little too late. Trudeau and previous governments have destroyed Canada. I doubt this country will recover. Unless we get a trump that enforces mass deportation and starts plane loads going home everyday the wages are destroyed now and skilled workers are already leaving the country. The majority of immigrants we are getting now are permanent generational welfare/child tax benefits and elderly immigrants now. Without actually requiring immigrants to have skills, speak the language, and work to support themselves Canada will be bankrupt soon enough.

Because of the Tariff ..Canada is actually knew the Problem and now it is clear they are part of the Problem..we love Trump

This is actually truly a lullaby invasion that is difficult for many to see. They don't know the country is 75% invaded already. Something heavily historic has to be done and Trump might be the last hope!

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money

Wow, who would’ve thought we can actually protect our border. Too bad it took trump threatening our economy to actually do it

I am a Canadian. Moved to Houston and lived there for eight years....there is nothing pleasant about living in the United States. Sorry but you guys fail even the basic courtesies of life. Was relieved to get back to Canada and get rid of my sidearms! Hospitals and clinics in the U.S. want proof of insurance or they can refuse to even look at you! In Canada no clinic or hospital can turn you away....and we have the Good Samartan law here...meaning you can't be sued for helping someone in an emegency. I actually knew a person in Houston who made her living suing people and companies just because it was easy money....try that here...lmao. To sum it up....living in Canada has the most appeal for me. Now, 2025, I would not even cross the border...too dangerous...trump tards everywhere and who knows when you will be on thier target list.

Lower, lol, needs to completely stop and all those they already let in need to be sent back immediately or this country is doomed forever. We need a trump and mass deportations immediately.\nCanada has an obligation to Canadians not anyone anywhere else on earth, Canadians, that’s it, that thinking is why we are ruined. Soon there will be more Brian’s here than actual Canadians, this has to immediately stop. Go somewhere else it’s a big world

Trump is helping solve CANADIAN problems and BEFORE he even takes power, officially. That is incredible. \n\n\nNow we just have to pray that he doesn’t actually increase those tariffs, and it is very likely that he will. Trump has been very consistent over the years about wanting higher tariffs with all of his trading partners. Getting control over our borders and preventing terrorists from entering the country will help reduce them but not all the way I don’t think. \n\nWe’ll see if that prediction is correct.

Look T the policy's Biden is pushing after they lost is crazy giving away money to his friends non profits trying selling the border wall putting a green energy policy in place that they are trying to Trump proof if you lose the election u shouldn't be allowed to do anything like that this country is broken and needs major reform. The democrats are literally like idc what the people want screw them wow what a kick in the face. They've been screwing the public for decades when's the last time are government wasn't against the poor and middle class just look at the stock market manipulation they change rules on the day to hurt people and change orders and halt stocks but allow backedup orders look at what they pulled with gamestop i cant believe the crsp I've seen these past years since cv19 and before that its blatant theft we can do anything at anytime for any reason that's communist worse actually cause at least the communist admit they are corrupt the lying crap is way worse no its not rigged no we ain't stealing well why did u rig it then and steal from people then why can't any politician explain why they are making 20 x there salary a year why don't they have to show where they got it from why does the irs not care why is the fbi stealing treasure finds from people and lying about it after they get caught why is it are whole country has turned to such garbage now dam straight we don't trust a bunch of lying crocks that literally get away with everything when we can't even get a a single thing its just so much its unreal I can go on and on while I'm talking im positive another politician just stole another 1 million dollars like its picking up a dollar off the ground

Trump offered to turn Canada into the 51st state of the USA. Most are not actual asylum seekers.

Why Colombian farmers choosed to grow coca plants? They grow like a weed. Why they choose to process the plant and sell the paste? Is easy to do it, and easy to stored. The best thing for them is that the cartels just go to pick up a little bag that weighs 3 ponds and pay a nought money to the farmers to support their families, right there in the spot!!. If the farmer's cultivate vegetables, plantains, or any other produce, is no way for them to move their produce out of their farms. Is not an infrastructure of roads or any other system that is helping them to get their products out from their farms and the worse is that they do not get paid a fare price for their products. You know who is going to pay for their product right there in the spot with out to go through so much misery? For pennies? The cartels!!!! Two pounds of paste feed their family for a couple of weeks. Those two pounds translate in to a couple of millions after delivery. Where are this cartels delivering it?\nYou guess right! USA!!! \nDid Trump actually have a plan to CLEAN AMERICA TO MAKE IT GREAT AGAIN, WITH OUT ADDICTION ?\nNo Trump and Harris actually had a plan and how they are going to deal with addiction to drugs in this country!! \nWHY??

It’s sad that the people in the US are so desperate to stay on top that voted for Trump. Like he’s foolishness and lies going to do a miracle. Come to Mexico and listen to the actual president every morning. Not like the news in the US who always have to guess what went on in a phone call. The US needs to understand that Mexico is No longer the US back yard

The Mexican Senora actually thinks she can mess with Trump? Lmao!!!!!

If your business actually reported the Unbiased, Independent, Honest News, Trump would not won.\nYou normalised,9 yrs of promoting Lies, Racist Speech etc, You Never Called Them Out, Or Told the audience that they were FALSE there and then \nThe only Real News was on line which was Both side of the Reports. \nBe a real news Broadcaster, Indepth Independent Unbiased Reporting

Looks like Trump's tariff threat actually worked on Mexico. Dems and respondents below don't understand the power of deterrence and the leverage of using the US economy. Masterful job by Trump in getting Mexico to curtail illegal immigration, drug use, and human trafficking. There will be no tariff on Mexico

What did he say? Hhhhh actually Mexico is not the main problem but the main platform causing the problem and altought they could close the border properly they never did and therefor shoulld pay npt that Trump cares about them anyway. Good hit. Canada, Mexico and China in one shut. Good start as usual .
