Segregation never ending the criminals were here before the immigration even started Trump did didn’t seem to have a problem with the immigrants when they built his empower They’re the ones who worked without contracts without green cards and some never received any paid yep, let’s make America great again Go right back where we started hope you don’t like french fries to go with those burgers because who gonna work the fields to bring in the potatoes to make the french fries

I am really frustrated that Americans seem to be ignoring this situation. Trump has cheated, and both he and Musk present a troubling example. It's hard to take America seriously when they are compared to Kamala. The election was compromised, and Trump is one of the worst offenders. If this continues, America will lose all its global respect. It's disheartening to see how Trump has managed to undermine 250 years of progress in such a short time, and the responsibility lies with those who voted for someone like him—a figure who has incited chaos and division. If he is given another chance at the presidency, it will reflect poorly on America, and it will result in lost cooperation from the international community.

The most unfortunate result of the presidential election is that Trump thinks he won because people like him and now has a mandate for his reckless policies. He doesn’t seem to understand that the only reason he won was because people don’t like Kamala Harris’s woke agenda, the problem with the border, Biden economics and her stupidity. America was forced to choose between two totally inept, incompetent idiots and chose what they perceived to be the lesser of two evils. Now we will see unreasonable chaotic lunacy unleashed. Congratulations to the irresponsible and incompetent morons who provided Americans with this disastrous election.

Guys, to be honest we know US makes the dollar worth whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want but that is not our fear, we truly want to be a strong region and if you look closely beyond the behavior of Trump and Sheimbaum it seems they truly want to cooperate, just remember the world is watching, when you have a good strategy you cannot disclose it, lets work together, we are not south americans weve always been in the region. Some of our most beloved mexican heroes where born in texas or other states when they were still Mexico for instance, we share the wild west stories, cowboys are not only americans they were also.mexicans for example, and box sport associations were made by US and mexican legends, plus we share commom values.

This Is Trump's Objective And Plans All Along To War With Hispanic Countries Because Of So Called Invasion Of The United States By Illegals And Trump Is Using Same Tactic As Hitler Did To Gain The People's Support In Hating A Certain Race Be Aware Of Evil Murderous Governments That Seem To Cause Death Around The World And Seem To Want To Destroy The World. Evil Deceiving Lying Evil Powers Must Understand We The People Nation Under God In God We Trust Always was Always Will Be Power To The People'l Not To A Felon Criminals

Ummmm. I respect Mexico’s President, but wonder where is this firm stance toward her citizens regarding them illegally crossing into our country?? The gangs??? Drugs ??? The other ills the American media touts about Mexico that the media seems to back pedal on in order to undermine Trump???

It seems that if Adlof Trump was even 1/10th as smart as the President of Mexico he would actually have a brain. Last time Adlof Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber the price of OSB sheathing went from 9 bucks a sheet to 56 bucks a sheet. That really taught Canada a lesson as we paid thousands more for each home that was built after that.

These two up top are trying to create controversy. The fact is everyone knows Mexico will lose in the end, this isn't a tit for tat endeavor, Trump means business, Mexico should have shut down their southern border to invaders long ago but sadly the cartels run Mexico not their president so when there's illegal money to be made their president it seems wears blindfolds !

It doesn’t seem like they’ve done a lot, and at the end of the day Mexico will end up losing More. Don’t get tough with Trump Claudia , you’ll come to regret it, like they’ve all have.

CNN reporters: Your mouths move. No one believes you anymore. CNN reports that there isn't a border problem. They report that the Mexican president is tougher than Trump and won't back down. Right. What they seem to forget is that Trump was POTUS before. CNN hasn't learned that we are so tired of them LYING on behalf of Democrats and being 100% negative against Trump on literally EVERYTHING. It's clear CNN won't change.

Funny to see some magats say Trump was a self made billionaire. Seems like watching fox news could lead to brain damage. Don't they know trump was born rich? His dad was a real estate developer. ?

With Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election, many Hollywood celebrities seem to be moving to Canada.

It feels so foolish to keep trying bandaid solutions that harm the US labor pool. There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in regards to this. \n\n1. Most developed countries on earth are in the midst of or are preparing to deal with population crisis and depopulation. Strong immigration to the US stems this issue and is actually a huge advantage to the power and continuing visibility of the USA.\n\n2. Deportation and border control strike at the effect of immigration and leave the cause unharmed. People come to the USA because there's opportunities here, so why not make opportunities abroad?\n\nIf the USA were to remove benefits of dealing with china while offering massive incentives for moving manufacturing away from china directly to Latin America, not only would we be countering our Chinese dependency but we would also provide jobs at home and stem immigration. Not only that, but the businesses would be American and be controlled by Americans - a huge incentive to stay friendly to the USA.\n\nI don't know, just seems like our current policy and especially what Trump is suggesting are counter productive and stuck in a bygone way of thinking.

I see a lot of (what I assume is MAGA) crying about confusing illegal and legal. Clearly this video was mostly about illegal. But the few charts with legal immigration data included show that there is a turn against both legal and illegal immigration (see chart on left at 1:50 ). Seems like MAGA victimhood seeking, as per usual ? Also note the massive run-up in Trump's 1st term in encounters (tripled from 2017-2019) ? He was only saved by COVID collapsing the economic drive for illegal immigration. And even then, most of the run-up post COVID lockdown was in place by Jan 2021 ( 3:30 ). So he does not have a great 1st term record, despite the hot air. Let's see this time, will be interesting to have the massive military deployment needed to detain, intern and eventually deport the 12m or so total ? Note again how that number has been basically constant over very slightly declining since 2005 see at 4:15 . Hmm, manufactured crisis? ???? Can't wait for the induced Trump inflation. ? Anyway, all hail glorious leader! One land, One people, One leader!

I don’t get why Europeans don’t get how this would be done. \nTHERE WILL BE NO DETENTION CENTERS. Meaning what Trump is tryna say , they will literally pick these people up. And drop them off at the border. Will human rights activists go to court over this? Probably. However, With almost all the Supreme Court appointees being republican, this seems like the method that would be used. It will most likely get a pass.

Since Reps are expected to also control House and Senate, it seems Trump shouldn't get any obstacles regarding the Insurrection act?

A lot of trumps controversial policies seem to be just enforcing the law and punishing criminals. I wonder who finds them controversial.

Yeah, she’s so in the Cult of Personality AND hopelessly retarded that she LITERALLY Common Sensed/Gut Instincted/Prejudiced it’s fine if HER FAMILY MEMBERS get deported, seemingly just because it was DONALD FUCKING TRUMP WHO SAID OR DID IT!!!! ??? it is interesting that Trump never actually crushed the free press, so ALL the retarded stuff said both in support and attack of him is recorded for posterity. ??

If this is what it takes to teach these people who voted against their own friends and families, so be it. I have lost all sympathy for the right wing. They went full religiously driven nutty with an obsession with believing every little crazy story and never looked back. Every person I meet that give me cooky vibes or talks about Jesus or some sort of outdated fucked up thing is a Trumper and nothing will change their minds. Everyone now has at least one relative who, on the surface, would appear to be a perfectly logical person but ask them to justify why they love Trump so much and they give you some totally wacky fact or false claim about some sort of random thing in our world like social security or trans people or immigration and cant seem to wrap their minds around the idea that it isn't true and that those claims are being used to manipulate them.

I dont know a lot about trump ..i know before he seemed a little ridiculous but atleast if he was our president here maybe hed do some deporting here. The more i am hearing about trump lately the more im wondering if hes really all that bad vs. Justin.

Is the goal to deport every undocumented person or to destroy our economy? Seems they will achieve both at the same time. I wonder how many Trump supporters know that Trump properties still avoid hiring Americans. Even Truth Social outsources their coding to Mexico. Trump hates hiring American workers. MAGA is only for him, not you.

People seem to believe tRump isn’t going to ,or be able to deport 10-15 million undocumented people. ??‍♂️??‍♂️

Does anyone else find bizarre that Trump literally told his voters at a rally last year this:\n“ I don’t need your votes this time. We got plenty of votes. Don’t worry about voting “. ? ???????\nGiven his shady connection with seasoned election fraudster Putin and Mr. Technology Elon Musk, and what is at stake, do you think those 11mln blue votes from 2020 disappeared for a reason? \nIt seems hard to believe with all the excitement for Kamala( which Biden was never even close to), she got 11 mln votes FEWER?\nA malignant narcissist like Trump would want to leave the election to stay out of jail to …chance?!?\nI am not buying it. Also , a malignant narcissist always tells on themselves. A little hint here and there… ?\n“ I DONT NEED YOUR VOTES THIS TIME. WE GOT PLENTY. DONT WORRY ABOUT VOTING “. ????

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

So what happens to Elon having been an illegal immigrant before he became legal? Does he owe any money?\nAlso Mr. Banks doesn't seem to have thought much about the ramifications of his hatred. \n As well just how did he know that Trump knew he was going to win and that he had known for a long time he was going to win?

Russia helped Trump win with bomb threats and cheated by Elon giving money illegally to get votes. Why are the democrats letting this happen like they are a part of this. Seems all set up to happen and screw the American people.

I wish there could be more discussion about how understaffed everything has been since Covid It's a huge issue\nin my town and I have the impression it's pretty much everywhere.\nIt seems like we NEED people.....??? And how will Trump manage at Mar-a-lago where he FAMOUSLY hires undocumented\nimmigrants. I'm sure we won't hear anythng about that.\nHere we go...for a long ride downhill.

So it seems that even though the country sent a message that its' done with the liberal lies & racism, CNN is still at it. While I'm happy to watch the liberals twist in the wind with the Trump victory, I don't look forward to 4 more yrs. of media propaganda. Someone make it stop!

Trump won popular vote, house and senate. Be honest… the one group most happy now are the drug suppliers for the left. The Dnc cannot accept that their nasty Hollywood American vision is unacceptable to the majority of Americans. We believe in Gd, family and country . Lying , hate, race baiting , and socialism is offensive how we were raised. Latinos blacks muslims women all seem to agree. Go if you dont like America

These are the kind of people supporting Trump. They seem warp-minded and uneducated on what this man is all about. She’s entitled to think however way she wants but when it’s an injustice to someone else, that’s where I draw the line.

What is she talking about?! Hours and days standing in line for a green card?! The whole process takes 2-3 years of waiting. This is bizarre, is this lady lying??? How the heck did she stand in a line for a few hours or days ??‍♀️ and get a green card, was the immigration policy different when she applied?\n\nI imagine this woman hasn’t gotten along with her family far before she became a trumper, I don’t know if she would care if her family got deported before she became a red hat, it seems like joining the Trump effort helps her feel a sense of belonging and justify her dislike of her family. If they rejected her for one reason or another, it seems that being part of maga has given her a false sense of power.

On the other hand, American community, which seems more aware & evolved, has a different view on indinn community. They like us (See Nate Friedman's video on Indian voters in Jersey n the comments section). \nEven Donald Trump has praised indian community. I think Canada lacks visionary & powerful leader thst can bring reforms in immigration. While i acknowledge thst some of us are embarrassing the entire community, an ignorant n narrow minded society generalize the entire community which is very sad & heartbreaking.

We don’t have an illegal immigration problem, we have a legal immigration problem. If you’ve been here 30 years illegally, the problem isn’t you, the problem is the insane system that is incapable of identifying and processing people that are a net positive to our country. There’s roughly 7.5 million workers in this country that are technically iillegal. To deport them as Trump and this lady want is to destroy our economy and in turn our country. Team MAGA seem to be clueless about what the state of immigration in America is, despite professing it to be their #1 issue.

She doesn’t understand…. Trumps policy includes her …….she seems to think that because she’s for him he won’t deport her too……Look what has happened to everyone around him …. They are in jail paying fines, lives ruined

The one thing trump has brought out is the cruelty of his supporters they seem to forget they will meet their maker and have alot to answer for

Does he have the same affliction as Donald Trump does? Perhaps a little bit of dementia He seems to be lost not as usual emperor self

Trump made it seem ok to show your hate in public.

Bunch of BS. 13,000 in a day ??? Even with open boarder without boarder security, immigration check points it is impossible. It is a republican propaganda. This guy's followers seem to be all Trump supporters , read the comments below.

Have you stopped to think that the NYC policies are actually the cause for the crisis? And it is the State of Texas that has closed the southern border along its border with Mexico not the Federal Government.\n\nDeclaring yourself a sanctuary city was a noble, selfless, generous, magnanimous deed. And then the illegal aliens showed up. Yep, you sure showed President Trump who was boss when it came to immigration matters when you refused to cooperate with the Customs and Border Patrol and the INS when it came to deportations and immigration holds. And now you are complaining about the number of illegal aliens showing up? Please make some sense as it sure seems that you are not making one iota of sense.

We need to elect Trump and invade and take over Canada it seems.

South Asian Indians are fourth generation Canadians and are educated, successful and have assimilated with the European culture. The french lady should see Montreal, it is cool to see Indians, Chinese speaking French. Do you ask why there are too many Chinese in Chinatown? Sadly the new immigration are bad Trudeau policies that India wanted deported back. Others are temporary honest Indian students that are being ripped off by Canadian wrong policies of shameless cash grab. Assimilation for new immigrants could be something in common e.g. free classical piano lessons for everyone in school. Music and language is a great first step in communication. The drug problem has nothing to do with immigration, it is the result of their own culture of drug abuse and bad Canadian policies. I think it is sad that the woman seems to be so negative without realizing the she has to care and use her power for good by demanding that no Canadian should be on the streets, this is why ALL Canadians (especially include South Asian Indians) pay taxes. where is our money going? is not the Canadian Government responsible for the welfare of ALL Canadians? we were the peacekeepers. Canada is a puppet to western primitive thinking foreign policy in a proxy war to destroy beautiful Christian Russia?? Trump has outsmarted Trudeau on every agreement. Canadians are paying double to a country that wants our water!!! I wish Senior Trudeau was here to protect Canadians.

Why help Canadian citizens when we can just import more replacements? I'm convinced this is Trudeau's mindset. I've never seen a leader of a nation that seems to despise his fellow citizens as much as him. Utterly disgraceful. Say what you will about Trump, but he gives a shit about Americans and doesn't want to tax them into perpetual poverty

it seems Trump had a point

I used to spend 6 months a year during the winter in US. While in the US I had a stroke... two days in the hospital would have cost me $25,000 but luckily my Canadian insurance covered it. Everyone in the south seemed to own a gun, and they couldn't conceive of the idea that I didn't want one... I didn't need one... I didn't want to see theirs. The day Trump got elected we put a FOR SALE sign on our trailer and never went back. I would rather spend winters in Mexico... I feel safer there and the medical system is affordable.

You're a good guy, Tyler...and very brave to take on such a dicey subject as comparisons between Canada and The United States. We are two distinctly different cultures. Currently, America is more than frightening. The political system has really become a total mess. A two-party system (basically YES or NO) does not cater to the many grey areas of politics. The choice right now seems to be Fascist or Liberal. That's it! It was not like that during most of my professional life. Thanks to my job, I had a Green Card. But, I also could travel with little difficulty...especially in the South and Mid-West. Why? Well, because I had blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. I never got used to states where everyone was walking around with a gun. It scared the hell out of me. As a commercial film director and writer, (unique services - hence the Green Card) I worked just about everywhere in the US. The North East is the most similar to Canada. But get down south, and people were literally walking around with holsters and revolvers on their hips. I never felt completely safe. But America is also a great country full of opportunities and if you are educated and a professional, the money is also great. All Canadians love their Healthcare and Social Safety Net. Generally, I think Canadians are more socially evolved and better educated. Your educational system is awful. And the Bible Belt States are anything but Christian. It's hate and fear-based. But the past 7 years have been the worst since the Trump Cult era began. Trump and his Mega Cult could destroy what was once a wonderful country.

I'm not even American but when people mocked Trump on this particular issue,I laughed. Seems people got too comfortable under his leadership

I would never even consider it... any country that could elect Trump is not a place I could ever live. I refused to even visit while he was president. The gun culture is terrifying. The health care system seems unaffordable. I might visit again someday, but not to the southern states where women's rights seem to be going down the toilet...I love Canada!

EU here : naaaaa healthcare insanity. Racism although seems better than 30 yrs ago in the south, is still obviously big. Also this little (big) thing that 80 mil. still would vote for Trump is just beyond anything. Sure so many places are stunning and millions of beautiful people, we will just visit.

The exact words I was thinking:\n\nThere is not a chance in hell of me ever moving to the United States.\n\nReasons.\n#1. Gun culture.\n#2. Health Care.\n#3. Christian Theocracy.\n#4. The Sheer Near Total Insanity of the Republican Party. This includes the state of the Supreme Court, and the current barbaric handling of abortion.\n#5. The racial issues... that are still today influenced by the history of slavery.\n#6. The Issues around the Electoral College that allow a candidate to become president while losing the popular vote. Also the lack of an independent body to oversee elections. That is sheer madness.\n#7. Denser populations, and, as a related issue, greater pollution.\n#8. The Presidential Pardon... which is a concept that seems designed to facilitate the abuse of power.\n#9. Fox News, and the rest of the deeply manipulative right wing media... which I should have put much higher on this list.\n#10. Military spending... which also should probably be higher on this list.\n#11. The myth of American exceptionalism.\n#12. American ignorance of the rest of the world, in general.\n#13. The Criminal Code including the Death Penalty, which was eliminated in Canada many years ago.\n#14. Education.\n#15. The drastically increased potential for political violence ever since Trump entered the political arena. This one also should be higher on the list. The United States could not even get through a transfer of power without violence. This is beyond pathetic. The peaceful transition of power is the #1 job of first-world democracies.\n#16. Attitudes toward social problems such as poverty and drug addiction. \n\nNotice that #4 - #7 could be subdivided into more than one reason.\nI thought this list was going to have 5 or 6 items on it.

Not Canadian but... back in the 80s and 90s America seemed like the coolest place ever, cosmopolitan and progressive in a way the UK wasn't. Then I grew up. The Internet got invented. I got to talk to Americans, hear US news and politics that never made it to the UK. Then Trump and Qanon happened. Now there is no way in hell I'd want to live there. Bankruptcy inducing healthcare, religious fanatics everywhere and the risk of getting shot on the daily? No thanks.
