Still trying to figure out why other countries are responsible for the American border???? \nIt will be interesting to see what the independent free trade agreement between Canada and Mexico is going to look like...

Mexico has been imposing tariffs on Americans, and Mexican’s, for taking their cars over there for a long time. \n\nYou have to pay for a permit, along with a hefty deposit (depending on the vehicle year), to cross your vehicle into Mexico. You can cross into the border towns, but if you want to drive further in, you have to pay. \n\nThis is done to eliminate competition, instead of letting the market dictate the pricing. And if you don’t return your permit, you don’t get your deposit back and lose the ability to cross any vehicles for life. No, how is that fair?!\n\nAnd you STILL see Mexican nationals buying vehicles here, and just paying the hefty tariffs, just to legalize their American vehicles in Mexico. \n\nWe can just start there, and do the same thing to them. I don’t think they’d like that one bit.

So if Mexico and Canada somehow stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States \nis Trump in return going to bring in adequate gun control laws so that the flow of smuggled American guns into Mexico and Canada is stopped?\nMexico and Canada should demand that in return.\nSmuggled American guns are responsible for a huge proportion of the shootings and murders in Mexico and in Canada.\n\nAnd I doubt very much that there is significantly more fentanlyl entering the United States from Canada than is entering Canada from the United States.\n\nAnd completely stopping the flow of fentanlyl sounds like magic.\nIt's impossible.\n\nAnd the whole reason for the movement of fentanlyl is the demand in the United States \nso even if Mexico and Canada could completely stop the flow of fentanlyl \nthere will still be fentanlyl in the United States - either imported or produced in the United States.\n\nI don't believe that Trump doesn't really cares about fentanlyl addicts.\nHe just wants an excuse to be a bully and to express his xenophobia.\nWho believes Trump really cares about fentanlyl addicts? Nobody.

gee, mexico has an intelligent, rational leader. obviously most americans still think mexicans are all laying around in sombreros doing nothing. the reality is mexico has become quite an economic power house. the USA has become a joke.

Ok for those who don’t understand how tariffs work thats tax for American companies to import goods here ok and the other countries sale their products at the whatever cost they set, once Americans pay the tax tariffs then Americans companies increase their cost to recover ad make up their loss costing Americans higher prices. And for the idiots that think manufacturing companies would come back,they will not bc other countries good are going to still be cheaper and would not like to pay additional taxes or have their business growth collapse

Trump is a moron. He says things without any proof or facts or details. How is China ripping us off? We use them for cheap high tech labor to make our products and then American businesses profit off of them by selling the products to the u.s consumers for a huge profit. And even then we still pay a very reasonable price compared to if the product was made in the USA.

No African should be looking for reparation when their ancestors were heavily involved in the evil act of slavery. And before you say black Americans and Caribbean people have African ancestry (you know exactly what I mean). If you can show that between 1700-1900 your great- great - great grandparents resided in the USA or Caribbean and still carry their masters last names) I feel some of you folks are rewriting history, suggesting that they should be part of the reparations. Forget it!!!! I have personally heard Africans in particular Nigerians say with their own mouths that the Caribbean people and Africans Americans lack culture but theirs was intact because they were never enslaved. Forgetting that slaving was all about dismantling these people identity/dignity so they could be controlled. Now these people who looked down on their “so called brothers” are singing a different tune. No one should receive a penny especially if you cannot show any evidence how you are linked to the plantations in the USA or the LAC region.

Most of Zionists are just Europeans in the sand land. And Americans are just Europeans in America. So Europeans are having three extra continents and they still want more. What are they? Viruses on earth?

People still don't understand the problem of deporting migrants. If the neighboring country refuses to take in the migrants, you can't deport them there. People just don't think things through. They'll probably build camps and then keep the people there.\n\nThe purchasing power of illegal immigrants was more than $254 billion in 2022, and undocumented households had a total income of $330 billion - they paid almost $76 billion in taxes\n\nSometimes I wonder what level of education people have. What will happen when people stop working and the places are filled with Americans? Prices will go up. By the way, illegal immigrants are not entitled to social benefits but pay taxes, who do you think benefits?

LIBERALS AND DEMOCRATS WOULD STILL BE HAPPY THAT ALL THIS PEOPLE ARE COMING LIKE THIS IN THE STAES KAMALA AND BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WAS WORST ON BASIS OF IMMIGRATION BELIEVE ME OR NOT IF YOU DONT BELEIVE THIS THING YOU ARE ANTI- AMERICAN PERIOD

I'm 45 and moved to China when I was 23. I'm still in China. Canada is waaaaaay too expensive, not much opportunity, different country now than when I was a kid. China is great! Don't believe the American propaganda.

I think this woman is having some mental issues been here for many years doesn’t make her an American you’re still a migrant like your family members and this is not your country period.

She's one of those that feels she's american and she's She's still mexican who happens to have naturalized (She's NOT mexican american). She's choosing a man that only wants her vote but will kick her on the butt straight out of this country.

Unfortunately this is one of does ridiculous people who think s her green car makes her american you still mexican no different than an unandocumented i am from Mexico so i can tell you that

One minute Trump is disrespecting My people calling them out of their name but yet want their vote and she said that Trump needs to take her country back is she serious she don't have a CLUE IN WHAT TRUMP IS GETTING READY TO DO TO THE BLACK HISPANCIS AND NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE REPRESENT THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL WE ARE THE TRUE ISRAELITES FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. I PRAY THE MOST HIGH WILL OPEN HER EYES AND SHE SEE'S THE TRUTH BECAUSE THIS UNITED STATES HAVE BEEN BUILT OF OF LIES AND DECEPTIONS AND THIEVERY BUT YET IN STILL THEY HAD THE NERVES TO SAY THE BLACK HISPANCIS AND THE NATIVE AMERICAN ARE LAZY WE NEVER BEEN LAZY WE WORKED COMING OUT THE WOMB IT THE WHITE MAN THAT DIDN'T WORK BUT STOLEN EVERYTHING HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON AND CLAIMED IT WAS HIS MY PEOPLE NEVER BEEN LAZY LIKE THE WHITE MAN AND I WILL STAND 10 TOES DOWN ON THAT WE ARE THE ONE THAT INVENTED THINGS AND THEY TOOK THE CREDIT FOR IT AND STOLEN IT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY THEY THINK EVERYTHING HOLD A PRICE TAG BUT GETTING INTO HEAVEN IS NOT ONE THREY ARE NOT WELCOME INTO THE KINGDOM BUT EXCEPT COMING IN AS SLAVES THE LOWEST OF THE LOW

So Mexico is still not paying for the wall, have they ever heard of tunnels? the American people didnt elect trump, that would mean all Americans voted for him and they didnt!

Illegals who come here and have a baby that baby is illegal to.if i go to visit legally in another country and go into labor my baby is still American citizen

How sad is this? The cruelty is beyond belief and she isn’t even ashamed of herself. And to pretend that these people could just apply legally is ludicrous. When this lady came immigrants were still being welcomed. All you had to do was apply and wait. It’s not so easy now. Trump has spread so many lies and so much hatred that immigrants are hated. Regulations are draconian and will just get worse. Trump has said he will split up families and jail or execute immigrants if they try to get back to their families. That Americans accept this cruelty, has completely destroyed my respect for them. I used to think Americans had some bad people but the majority were good.even with the evidence that they refuse healthcare for all and decent gun control to protect children. I thought they just hadn’t realized how effective these policies are. But now it’s blatantly obvious that they don’t care about poor people or disabled or sick people. They don’t care about the elderly or the health and safety of pregnant women. They just want more for themselves and are too dumb to realize that the way to get more is to work together and help each other.

And Trump’s eyes you’re still a Mexican so leave off the American??????????????????????????????? and you better hope they don’t find a way to send your ass back to Mexico??????????????family FIRST!!!!!!!!!

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.

Why is she still a MEXICAN American?\nMAGA doesn't stand for Make Mexico.....\nTrump folks hate hyphenated people. \nShe needs to tighten up her act if she's going to survive the next 4 years.

Trump does not care about you! given the chance he will deport you even if you were an American citizen for a 100Yrs Trump still doesn't consider you or see you as an American citizen your country will always be Mexico to him. And You will always be a Mexican to him who he hates!!!!! ????

I'm a latino straight from South America and I'm very happy. I REALLY don't get what you american liberals think of us. The only reason we are willing to leave our countries to live in the US is because you have a country where we can thrive. In order to go to the US, we go through the process and apply for visas and the green card. That's being honest. We don't want the country filled with illegal immigrants who jump the border. We left our countries in an honest way and we want the borders strong, so we can still have a country where we can thrive. Is it really hard for you to understand that? We voted for Trump and we're proud of it, so we don't need your false pitty. You guys don't know reality, you're born in fantasy land and you aren't able to see the basic truth even if it's in front of you.

Amen! Use my tax money to deport illegals! I also think we need to put an end to this idea of duel nationality. That's part of the reason so many minorities still feel alienated. You're an American, not a Mexican American.

It’s amazing how rich white people who own all the groceries chain food stores who are price gouging the poor and working class Americans are still able to convince the same poor and working class that their hardship is caused by the other poor or immigrant population to astounding

Within 48 hours of TRUMP winning BEFORE HE EVEN GOT MOVED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. HE ALREADY CALLED TO STOP THE UKRAINE AND RUSSIAN WAR, Iran has AGREED TO CEASE FIRE, HE IS NOT GIVING ANY MORE MONEY TO ZELINSKY, AND INSTEAD USING WHAT WAS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO HIM FOR US. AMERICANS AND VETERANS WHO ARE HOMELESS, AND THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL, HES DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE MEXICAN CARTELS. DID I ALSO MENTION HE IS LOOKING INTO THE BLUE ACT WHERE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN LAUNDERING MONEY FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OT SHOWED THEY DONATED TO THE DEMOCRATS OVER 200 TIMES IN A YEAR WHEN THEY ARE SAYING THEYVE NEVER DONATED. YEAH.. HES INVESTIGATING THAT TOO. ALL WITHIN 48 HOURS… Do your own research and stop watching CNN if you are still a democrat

I see evidence of some people who think electing Trump will essentially rid this country of Hispanics, whom they are just so eager to be seen removed from here. That is both an extremely naive and very racist set of expectations. Many of the worst racists are going around telling random Latinos to pack their bags and some are telling Latino Trump voters like me that we're gonna get what we voted for. The ignorance is just astounding!\n\nNo, I'm not getting deported. I'm an American. Not legal not illegal. I'm from here. My family has called this place home for generations. If you think Trump will be deporting me just because of my surname, you're an idiot. Trump will be deporting ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. He will NOT be deporting Americans due to skin tone or surname. That's so ridiculous, you have to wonder how hateful you have to be to assume Trump will do that? Wicked.\n\nAfter the mass deportations, Hispanics will still be around in very large numbers to spook those idiot racists right out of their neighborhoods and I am glad. Many of us are from here and will be going nowhere. In fact, I hope they marry the racists daughters have brown children and then they will be forced to care about them and will eventually stop being such bigot POS.

Anyone with a modicum of sense will realise that what is proposed, or rather, what Trump promised his mad supporters, is impossible. I heard some MAGA clown claim that the plan was to remove 22 million people. Does he not realise the effort it will take to achieve. The ‘sermons’ he delivered were simply for effect. He must have known, even as the idiot he is, that the machinery does not exist to effect the policy. We had a similar experience in the UK over the decision to leave the European Union. The impression was given that, on the morning after a Leave vote, the matter was resolved. That was in 2016. We are now in late 2024 and many of the so-called problems caused by our membership of the Union still exist.\nThe American proposals were made by Trump, a liar. The most vociferous advocate for our Leaving was also a liar, Trump’s bosom pal (I get the impression he is closer to him than he is to the ex-call girl who is his wife) Nigel Farage.

EXACTLY WHY AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE SENDING TRUMP BACK...........THE AMERICAN STREETES ARE AMERICANS STREETS.....WE SENT TRUMP TO SAVE AMERICAN CHILDRENS DREAMS AND FUTURES...............YOUR KIDDING YORSELVES IF YOU THINK ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN..........................THEY ARE GOING TO BE REMOVED BOTTOM LINE............SANDWEG IS NO TRUMP HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING HE IS STILL ACTING LIKE ITS 2023 AND DEMS HAVE A WAY TO STOP IT AFTER THE MANDATE WE SENT TRUMP WITH..............THIS GUY THINKS THE GAME IS STILL THE SAME.............ITS A TOTALY NEW TRUMP ERA WITH 3/4 OF AMERICA STANDING BEHIND HIM..........DEMS FIGHT THIS THEY WILL LOSE NEXT ELECTION CYCLE BY SAME LANDSLIDE TRUMP JUST WON WITH................TRUMP WON WITH MAGA AND 2/3 EX-DEMS BACKING TO STOP THE INVATION AND REMOVE ILLEGALS........YOUR NOT ONLY FIGHTING TRUMP THIS TIME BUT AMERICAN CITIZENS ALSO.............................MAGA RULES THE FOOLS

People still don't realize the tanked economy that was handed over to Biden. Now Trump's going to do it again and several different Fashions to where he leaves this office 4 years later with such a f***** up economy and a f***** up deficit. That's too tanked economies handed over by Republicans to Democrats to where the Democrat had to eat it all and eat all the unjustified opinions from the American public and the Republican Party. The cruel strategy of the Republican party has hurt every American in this country for the past 15 years because they want power back so much that they'll hurt the previous administration and American citizens on purpose. It's on record

That’s why Trump targeted all uneducated people because he sounds good in talk but doesn’t do anything either. I wish we could start again like 20 years ago because now some illegal migrants that have been here for 5-20 years think they have American rights they are still illegal and have no American rights. All criminals, people collecting federal/ state benefits are anyone coming over here pregnant should be consider illegal. I’m willing to pay to clean up our country then paying to support these illegal migrants. If they own a home they should be deported too because I’m sure they lied or committed fraud to even buy a home. We all work our life to obtain our dream but they are given preference instead of veterans, our homeless and American people.

Hey Democats!! The recent election had NOTHING to do with race or gender. Your hatred based on dishonesty creating division only turned the people away from your side. It is about honesty, morals and freedom. It was about the economy that your side only seems to want to make things worse. It was about representatives should be looking out for our country and our citizens. America first is the only way any of our representatives should think!!! They still don't get it. The American people aren't falling for your lies anymore!!

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

I glad he's going to get them out. They try to be slick,coming over here having babies and not become legal. Now they still have to go back and take their children. It's not that we don't want them over here just do it legal. Hell they put them in a 5 stars hotel and we American can't even take a vacation. Come on people WAKE UP.

Your snivelling whining duplicitous nasty malfeasance created tte outcome! \n???????? \nYou’re still talking down to Americans \nYou’re still lying \nYou’re still communists \nYiu know the 2010 election was rigged Biden was NEVER a legitimate president and thus will be exposed! \nYOU liars will be exposed! \n\nYou will be losers for a very long time

we thank the coperate press and news networks like CNN,for all the hatred and division they have planted into American hearts all because of one man-TRUMP\nEven after the elections,CNN is still trying to tell the world that black and hispanic people that voted for Trump have voted for a doom day for their children.\nI can only imagine how much division that news networks like CNN will bring to this country now that Trump is president.\nInstead of analyzing the Truth why American people overwhelming voted for Trump and trashed the current administration,CNN wants Americans to hope that Trump is coming for everyone.\nTHIS NATION WANTS TO HEAL AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITH DAILY DIVISION AND HATRED COMING FROM THE PRESS EVEN AFTER THE ELECTIONS.THEY ARE NOT EVEN READY TO GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE EVEN AFTER 80% OF THE COUNTRY HAS CHOSEN HIM.

As a non American it’s hilarious to see how stupid these news outlets are. They are so full of their wokeness that they defy all logic and not focused on addressing the problem. They still don’t see that the people have voted for this in majority. God just saved America.

And still there is no actual problem with immigrants. They pay in more than they cost.\n\nWeird how people think they cost too much, but will happily cheer for wasting millions times that much on pointless walls and deportations.\n\nThen the labor market will collapse, Americans can't work as hard as immigrants! See that every single day, just no actual problems with immigrants as a whole.\n\nThe power of churches and television, folks.

Woman,you 're pathetic,you still can't speak English very well\nYou're a Mexican, you aren't American, you're naturalize\nYou forgot your root\nYou disgust me, hypocrite

It's not just Cubans. Anyone running from Communism gets helped out. Venezuelans get the same treatment. But what younger people don't know, the U.S. failed to defend Cuba from the communists. They were, as Kennedy was, betrayed from within. It cost thousands of Cuban lives. Cuba was an American territory for centuries, while still under Spanish control. And so America has always given them assistance when fleeing the communists. There's a responsibility there.\n\nThese are the children and grandchildren of that effort. They are definitely displaying American arrogance, not Cuban. Communists aren't allowed arrogance. \n\nBut this is a human nature problem. Even the Arab has an attitude, and his history is not Cuban.\n\nBut, yes, South Florida Cubans vote for trump. They're mortified of ANYTHING that smells of socialism. And Kamala and Walz reeked of it.

American has spoken \nWe want great economy \nGreat border \nGreat education \nGreat job \nGreat interest \nGreat health\nGreat gas prices \nDemocrats still don’t get it using the race card ????

https://youtube.com/shorts/bC8k6CWx28E?si=YSgtZVmWjU7vuQxL\n\nTheres no Question ☝?with Differences with the Future Candidate \nonly illegal Mind mob Attitude And Fake News Fanatics that got Brainwashed will still crying and frustrated but American need some Changes on creepy policies and bring back the respect to American Constitutions and give Justice to life that lost killed by illegal criminals and put American Homeless & veteran back to their real homes not in the streets .??

UK will be forced to deport our illegals by the people here, who are protesting at the destruction of our nation. How would Americans feel if flying their great flag were fine £1000 for show their flag? That's what we have here in England ! Some of u are still sleeping.

UNBELIEVABLE, CNN THE FAKE NEWS STILL DOESN'T GET IT! AMERICA / AMERICANS FIRST ...MAGA U IDIOT'S

Note: If older Americans decide to move to Canada, and even take Canadian citizenship, they still get U.S. social security checks.

Apparently they're drawing back on Americans wanting to leave the US because of trump derangement syndrome\nThey will still allow those who wish to participate in our welfare program

American and Europe are the reason why the world is still going on because they benefiting from it

What upheaval???? Theyre being decimated. Majority of the humans in that space are women and children.. at least the ones left. Im disgusted as a native american whos families overcame a similar genocide. We are still here and we recognize they are still there! Quit killing. End the occupation. Grow a backbone.

The grass is always greener. We are not the US thank god. Greed over benefits over better education and in general a greater social safety net. The large centres in Canada have had there real estate exploited by big business and wannabee real estate tycoons it like the many other schemes that came before are looking to exploit working class people and that has made more difficult for people that doesnt mena Canada doesnt have opportunity. Those who leave are all looking for the brass ring it doesnt mean the US is the answer for some people it is. Funny we all expect what we need should be ours for the taking and we think if we dont grt it thay we are being cheated. The US is a larger market and if you have what they need you are likely to get more for it because of quality competition is high. It is here too just not as much choice. No one is holding you here things go in cycles eventually the real estate will find a level and people will start in better positions. Running to something may benefit you but running from life here is not gurantee of better things giving up is when you start to fail it isnt our governmemt the people or the country its in each of us as to what we want and weather they want to be in Canada or they don't its not the fault of tue country itd still top 5 on the planet peoples expectations are kust greater doesnt mean succesd is on the American side.

Like I explained, to those who say this will sour the us and canada's relationship. Americans don't care because even though Canada is less than 50% white, in they minds its still a majority white nation. That's why you don't see the BUILD A WALL etc, like you see with mexico, because even though the majority of immigrants crossing into the us from Mexico, might have been Mexican in the early 2000's, now that's not the case, 300k Colombians in one years, 175k indians, 75k turks, 150k, from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, 500k from Russia and Ukraine since the war began, 200k from ecuador, 75k Chinese per year etc etc. And they scream, build a wall, and make mexico pay for it. Because mexico is less than 20% white. At this point with all the immigrants canada gives citizenship too, mexico is probably more white than canada at this point or will be in the near future. But y'all don't see as that, like i said y'all still think canada is a majority white nation when it's not, and mexico is a amarindiean majority nation when with all the immigrants canada has now, sorry, new Canadians mexico is probably just as white or even more so than canada. And for those that think I'm exaggerating, read the comments or the lack thereof, and the ones that do comments completely overlook the fact that they can use and are using canada to reach the us, and completely want to change the conversation to the ones crossing from Mexico, why? Are there or are there not using canada to cross into the us, and the thing is this people pick which country to use, as we choose which restaurant to eat at!!!!!!! Well, I like.... I would prefer..... today the majority choose mexico. Tomorrow as you just saw will be canada, will y'all also scream build a wall???
