Blame trump for not securing their borders!

It' the MAGA mentality. In Canada over the last 2 1/2 years Pierre Poilievre has been blaming Trudeau for everything. Just like Trump blamed Biden/Harris for everything. But especially for immigration. Poilievre and Trump have blamed immigration for job loss, housing shortage, healthcare inefficiency, crime, urban decay. Poilievre and Trump don't try to differentiate between refugees/asylum seekers and legitimate immigrants. Canada's birth rate has been falling every year since the 1960s. Canada needs immigrants. Both the Conservative and Liberal governments supported immigration in the past. Poilievre is using immigrants to rile up the racists and the ignorant, for his own political gain.

There's two people we definitely got to blame for this mess and their names are Nicolas Maduro and Biden these two evil people allow thousands of thousands of third world country people to cross into the United States?? president Trump should Force Venezuela to Payback the billions and billions of dollars they spend feeding and housing these people not supposed to be here in the United States!

Lol, blaming Trump. Just blame there own corrupted country ! \nEurope is exact in the same problem, also needs more stricter restrictions!

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

According to statistics, there are over 10 million undocumented migrant within the u.s. border compared to just 30 thousand in Canada. Also, nearly all the guns used in violent crimes in Canada are registered in the u.s, and Trump said Canada is to blame for migrant and drugs. Something sounds fishy.

Trump and a lot of people blame it on Mexico don't stop drugs. White people are the ones who consume them. White people are the best consumers on all type of drugs. No wonder why they call them crack head. Fentanyl heads now. Why yall think white people moving to Mexico?

Trump strike me as the type of President that will use the military in an attempt to save money instead of paying 10900 per illegal immigration and in another attempt to bypass the court he can declare a state of emergency put us under martial law executive order to bypass the court keep us in a state of martial law until his deportation plan complete and blame the illegal immigrants for us being under martial law in the first place to create discontent and cooperation from all Americans who no longer want to be under martial law which will probably be everyone

Stop panicking: there’s a residential bubble because housing has some catching up to do, corporations gouged prices using propaganda to blame the government. Canada has gone through so much worse in the past, it doesn’t compare. You should understand what the pandemic has done and understand that getting back to normal doesn’t happen overnight. Just check that Canada has been ranked 3rd best country in the world after Switzerland and the US. We know that President Biden’s outstanding performance has pushed the US to that 2nd rank but let’s see how quickly it will go down under Trump. \nThe way to stop price gouging is to stop buying overpriced items, that’s all.

We are full too ???? if you can't protect your borders and secure them don't blame the Americans blame trudeau or that sad woke mayor in Toronto. Same as us !! We are fed up and that's why trump got in .

Trump is a dog that barks and doesn't bite, he likes to be a bully, in fact he is a pacifist, he will stop sending weapons to Ukraine so as not to attack his friend Putin, but there were enough threats and blaming Mexico for the addictions of Americans, our president Sheinbaum put it still, in fact U.S.A. created these synthetic drugs and their addicts, the laboratories and pharmaceutical companies created the substance of methamphetamines and fentanyl to treat diseases and ended up with their patients with side effects and addiction, the Mexican drug traffickers only took advantage of that new market created, they replicated the substance, that What happened to you for not creating an institution that studies and certifies each medication in search of side effects or that causes addiction as the institution does cofepris in Mexico and they still send weapons from the U.S.A. to Mexico to arm the cartels, every time criminals are arrested and their residences are seized, high-caliber weapons from the U.S.A. are found, and Trump says the guilt is Mexico only, since election campaign attacks to Mexico to get votes, enough of that sh*t

Have you guys ever met someone, who blames their failures on EVERYONE else??? It's never their fault, it's always someone else st fault!! They morally disengage from any accountability!! That's trump...

Mr Trump is going to bring you Americans to your knees,you have know one to blame but yourselves.And now the cases against him are now dropped,can you wonder why the rest of the is laughing at you.Get rid of your so called leader ASAP please.

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

TRUMP HAS AN AGENDA, FUCK THE COUNTRY OVER,HE HAS TO BLAME IMMAGRINTS, THE TARIFFS, WE WILL ALL SUFFER FOR THE STUPIDITY OF TRUMP. HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THE COUNTRY,WE THE PEOPLE WILL PAY, MAGA WILL ALSO PAY, THAT'S THEIR OLD MAN THAT THEY VOTED FOR, WELCOME TOTRUMPS HELL WERE ALL GOING TO PAY, FOR THE STUPIDITY OF MAGA VOTERS, FULL OF VENOM AND POISON RACE HATERS. THE DEMON IN THE WHITE HOUSE 666.THIS WILL BE HELL????????????

Trump must be disqualified; Americans can't be that stupid! Individuals incarcerated with less severe sentences than Trump should be released from prison immediately, as the law should apply equally to everyone without exception. The justice system, including the Supreme Court, is fundamentally flawed, and this is just the beginning. Trump's actions threaten to fragment the USA, much like his questionable dealings; the evidence is clear. He lacks morals, having faced sexual accusations from 26 women, and his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, who preyed on underage girls, raise serious concerns about his actions. Additionally, he has deceived and exploited construction workers with his projects, launched a fake university, and filed for bankruptcy six times. His most notable act is the first insurrection in U.S. history. This con artist holds the worst reputation both nationally and internationally, while the justice system and government have consented to a reckless individual. America has lost credibility both domestically and globally—all of this for one unworthy old man. The government can only blame the electorate for choosing someone who should never have been permitted to run for the presidency!

The lady thinks its ok to send heroine and fintanal to awer kids and thinks we will be ok she and every one that thinks that is dead rong we American people soport Awer president Trump big time on this how about we give her kids drugs and blame her kids if they take them and die .miss president anser me that ?

Just a matter of time until Trump blames Biden or Obama for his failed policies.

Where are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Why don’t they come to see all this? Biden and Kamala wide open the border to invite hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants to invade our country. Using our own tax payers money to fund the illegal immigrants. Why Kamala blames on elected President Trump for the border crisis????? This make me mad?????. These people should gather like that in their own country to put test with their corrupted government not in our southern borders. Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer need to be arrested for treason.

China is using Mexico to avoid paying the US to have their merchandise cross the border. China is sneaky..be careful with them.\nI dont support Trump but he is half right but so is the president from Mexico.\nTrump and Claudia need to sit down and have a productive conversation on how to resolve this issue. One of the things I would mention is to not have Chinese merchandise cross the US-Mexico border through Mexico, thats where I think the conversation should really focus on. I blame ex president Enrique Pena Nieto for this problem because he allowed China to use Mexico, corrupted president.

And trump stop the last bill written by republicans and democrats so he could blame Biden

Trump could have 20 years of presidency, and they would still blame every failure on a prior office.

One thing i know is that our president Claudia will not get intimidating by anybody including Trump. He will find out soon!! It's about time to stop depending on USA rules and policies that only apply to the rest of the world not to them. USA should do something about their drugs addiction population and stop blaming México for being USA drugs dealer ?

Now watch when trump supporters blame democrats cause tariffs raise prices. Not only does Trump want to climate migrant jobs, but he will eliminate all the money migrants and, yes, illegals spend on goods and services that greatly help our economy. We need Canada and Mexico more than they need us.

It worked last time, which is a big part of why we voted for Trump. Although, all of the CNN parrots here in the comments blame Trump for the inflation for 1/2 of Biden's Presidency. ??‍♀️

100% she is about to be blamed for any economic issues the US feels because of Trump.

Trump doesn't care about the results of his tariffs. He wll blame the destructive results on someone else. He is just eladed to know that he will not be held accountable and doesn't have to go to prison. He will spend his presidency golfing and attending rallies to get his dose of endorphins from his MAGA sycophants.

Hey everyone.. Blame Trump supporters for the idiocy that happens next.

The predator elect is a violent, sexual predator, blaming Latinos for it's violent foundation. The American landscape was built on the love for violence , guns, rape and grabbing pu..y. blaming every other country, but themselves. Just take a look at Trump's cabinet, how many are predators like himself.

The GOP will tank the economy and blame it on Biden…and those idiots will believe anything Trump says

The media loves Trump cuz he gives them news. Stop it with this tariff crap, Trump must be loco but he isn't stupid. He's not going to do shit just like his great and beautiful wall and how Mexico was going to pay for. Trump know knows the U.S isn't in no position to be messing with our great economy right now. Trump knows that he needs to ride Biden great economy for as long that he can in order to look good. Trump knows he doesn't have no pandemic to blame now and he's expecting to govern with normality. Mexico isn't scare of the U.S threats cuz Mexico has plenty of leverage and the new Mexico president isn't going to take shit from Trump.??‍♂️

Well, duh. Blaming the victim is how America/Trump rolls.\n\nBy the way, Trump now IS America, in the old monarchical sense of the word. You did this to yourselves.

Trump will fail at this endeavor like he failed at all his businesses. Supporting him is like letting your dog drive you to the airport. It is impossible to round up that many people in the time he has allotted. He won’t do it, and you suckers will still blame Biden. Everyone likes to blame immigrants for what is going on in society. I am poor. Must be the landscaper’s fault. I still living with my parents. Must be that Mexican’s fault. Wake up!\n\nWatch a few sobering realistic videos by Richard Wolff and perhaps you might realize that illegal immigrants are the least of our problems.

Public opinion has been changed by an aging populace that is in the thrall of Putin/Fox/Newsmax propaganda that makes them xenophobic. The vast majority of Migrants are peaceful, and law abiding, and contrubite greatly to our economy and GDP. When they are gone, you can blame Trumps policy on this, along with his idiotic tarrifs, for the high price of everything. If you dont like 3% inflation now, just you wait.

Absolutely deplorable. She gave him an opportunity to say something nice like they won’t deport a 99 year old\ngrandmother who swam her from Cuba 50 years ago if she’s “one of the good one.”\n\nInstead he blamed the American people who gave them a mandate. You’re just a single issue voter who cares about their job or prolife, but you spoke loud and clear that they all have to go. Apparently it’s easy to find them even though they never did, and if you just ruin their life here then they will probably want to leave.\n\nAnd once they get rid of the illegals they can get to the bottom of why the police weren’t reporting that hundreds of thousands of Americans were being killed each year by border crossers because that’s what Trump said.

What is wrong with this woman she really think Trump gives two shit about her I don't blame her family for not talking to her what is her problem

Blame the Obama-Biden-Harris regime!! Praying for Trump and his administration for God's Widom to do what they need to do to get America back on it feet!! ??✝️?

I don't blame her family for not speaking to her anymore. How selfish and ignorant she sound. Trump doesn't care about any ppl of color whether they are citizens of the US or not. She'll find out. Smh

In response to the judging of immigrants. Interesting how we rarely see immigrants on our street corners asking for a handout. Instead they're at work making just barely enough to eventually have their own business in a few years. Latinos are a workforce and stimulate the economy because its a lot of hard work to maintain and sustain this country. Who's gonna do all that hard work when they're deported. Maybe our spoiled and privileged teens? All industries will suffer a void in their workforce causing products and service prices to increase. Billionaires like Corporations, Trump and Musk are the reason you are not doing well, not immigrants. Trumpism is fear, hate, blame and shame politics. Immigration has been a thing since a million years ago, and it will always exist. People migrate. Americans use 1,000 times the resources more than immigrants need. Immigrants don't even qualify to for well-fare assistance. When immigrants are gone and the borders are secured, who will be blamed next for America's problems. Instead of focusing on the greater good and progress for all Americans, Republicans can't help themselves to use their power to address their xenophobia, blame, hate without concern of who and what suffers, families of the working class suffer, and our economy, not billionaires. Mass change and reckless actions based on negative emotions and Ego based intentions of one man, is bad for everyone. Negative energy + negative actions amounts and results to nothing but negative consequences and repercussions. Trumpism is no bueno for America. His approach to fixing immigration will hurt and break America.

No surprise people are blaming Trump for something that hasn't happened.

The Trump administrations immigration policy is actually less strict than Australia's. Who are not having to do mass deportations because their President did not encourage millions of people to just walk into the country. Blame Joe Biden and his corrupt media for these deportations, not the people having to do them. It should have never come to this.

SUCH D--B A--ES!! WTF SHE HAS A MENTAL F'N PROBLEM. SHE DRANK THE KOOLAID AND SHE'S GOING TO BE SHOCKED WHEN HE THROWS HER ASS AND OTHER MEXICANS IN THE SAME TRASH BARREL HE'S PLANNING ON THROWING EVERYONE ELSE IN. TRUMP CANNOT STAND HISPANICS, BLACKS, ASIANS, ETC. HE'S EVIL AND DOES NOT CARE FOR ANYONE THAT CAN'T SERVE HIS PURPOSES. LOOK FOR IT YOU FOOLISH WOMAN HE'S COMING FOR YOU. I DON'T BLAME YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO CAN'T STAND YOUR KOOL AID DRINKING ASS.

Most republicans are lying to their supporters because we in reality need workers to work the farms since no americans is willing to do those back breaking jobs. I dont blame them because they dont pay enough and there is not benefits other than the pay you receive. Fk marco rubio. A hypocrite garbage who does not have a spine that he can not stand on his own just like Lindsye graham, they are both useless. I think people dont realize that those people that are here illigally it would be better for the government to issue work visas so they can track them and collect taxes. I understand that there is a lot of people that take advantage of the system and they should be pay for abusing the system.I did not vote for trump and i would not vote for him even if i was having a nightmare because we know who he is and stands for.

What a mess the republicans have to clean up. Trump will get blamed negatively for this and the costs but who let it happen and how much has it cost Americans already? Get the violent criminal first. Something lacking in the current admin. Just making the situation much much worse.

First Trump's administration is going to be jacked up with little known outliers with controversial and radical ideas. That is what Trump is attracted to. His ideas of tariffs and mass deportations are deplorable. They both disadvantage the US instead making it better. However, the tariffs may as well be a scam to get companies profits as when Trump says 10% on item A, companies are going to raise the cost of item A 12 to 15% or so and blame the cost increase on tariffs. For deportation's, I hope most people realize that many working the fields as low wage labor are very well illegals, but they are hired because they keep food costs low. Raising all prices for the poor Republicans will not be beneficial because prices on goods can increase 15% or more but their employer is certainly not going give them a 15% raise to match the cost of living. So Trump has already made the business environment good for more profits by planning to make life more expensive for everyone so business can absorb the additional profits. Probusiness politicians help businesses make money and that money comes from households and the government. And making the government spend more means the government needs to tax more. But TRump is cutting taxes for the people that have the most money. And Trump raising prices with tariffs justs makes households poorer and business richer. Naturally, the stock market will record highs when all the indicators are that business will be making much greater profits from households when Trump takes office.

I do not blame Trump, he is looking out for HIS country, not a business deal here. I say respect him and perhaps reach out for help with some of our issues if willing. Make that our trade.

this plan of Mr. Trump will be wholly legal and wholly accepted by 'most' US citizens as it will be passed by a Rep controlled congress. \n\nE-Verify will be a centerpiece of it, significant financial penalties and prison time for those who attempt to skirt around it including homeowners looking for day labor at a Home Depot. \n\nSecondly the fed. dollars will no longer flow into states who do not enforce this mandate. \n\nThirdly 'zero' remittances can be sent unless the sender can prove US citizenship or green card status.\n\nLastly a $5000 a head bounty for illegal aliens brought into collection centers nationwide putting countless folks into moon lighting which will have the effect for 'most' folks of this being wholly legitimate. \n\nSadly illegal aliens were buffaload into believing citizenship or a green card awaits them if they criminally cross the US' southern border by Mr. Biden and his leftist followers, illegal aliens will have 'no' one else to blame when they're walking 'back' across that southern border.\n\nThe final chapter has yet to be written...

Fvck CNN! You are to blame. You completely failed the country by sane washing Trump and with your false equivalency BS.

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. ?️

Something to think about. Biden and Harris put our safety at risk when they decided they needed more democratic voters and opened those borders wide and unchecked. Americans DIED. Alot of them. Especially women who you say you care so much about. Americans voted what they wanted which is no more open border with no real vetting. Now President Trump has to fix an issue that Biden/Harris created. But keep being unfair and blaming him or grow up and be realistic. Your choice.
