United States of America is closed. We must take care of our American citizens first.

So many people don't fundamentally understand how tariffs work. America is one of the largest consumer markets in the world with the strongest impact on the global economic scale. Every country NEEDS their goods sold to the United States and tariffs make them pay more to get there goods here giving us a cash influx. while also dramatically increasing the competitive edge for domestic companies to compete against foreign slave markets.

Thank you president Trump hold firm stand strong and stand up for the United States of America

My goodness I hope that the president of the united state of America thinks his next big idea better then something like other countries just denying the Americans to land in there countries!!!!

WE THE PEOPLE of The United States of AMERICA back OUR PRESIDENT to do WHATEVER necessary to RESTORE OUR SAFETY & SOVEREIGNTY by Capturing & Deporting ANY & ALL ILLEGAL MIGRANTS back to their countries. If Columbia continues to behave this way its gonna get REAL F'UGLY. ?

Trump is awesome! Illegal immigrants are not welcome in the United States of America ?

A losing president of the United States America

America, wake up. The only Emergency there is: Donald Dump. This Unelected Bum is a Squatter in the White House. He is Guilty of Treason, Espionage, and Insurrection. Not to mention all of his crimes against the People of the United States.

What would he do if colombia refused to import goods to the united states. Does this remine anyone about what happen in 2017.-2018 in america.

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS INCOMPLETE REPORTING: The President of Colombia clearly said he would accept deportees IF they arrive on a passenger plane as has always been done and which costs less than half of the expense of a military plane. The problem is the United State’s insistence on using military planes. I swear folks, it’s just getting started: threatening to invade Panama, the closest ally in Latin America, threatening the prime minister of Denmark, a historic ally. Anyone remember Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland?

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

No health care never would I to the United States ?? of America ??

They are not trying to do mass entey into the United States, they are trying to invade. Treat them as enemies and protect America, by any means

Love to see it, all of it. United States is just one country in dozens in all of the Americas. Absolutely have the right to flee and avoid prosecution but you don’t have the right to pick and choose and make America be the only country you’re willing to go to

???My heart is with the immigrants. I am also an immigrant since here in 1991 I was also running away from violence and from the fact that in Mexico in the 70s, 80s and 90s they were killing homosexuals who could not be in the closet like others who could hide their homosexuality. I was able to immigrate because I had a lot of courage, a lot of fear and most of all, helplessness against the country that gave me life, Mexico, where society and presidents always had some double standards, it is unheard of. I owe my life, my dignity and my prosperity to this country, the United States of America. Of course I have not stopped working since I arrived. I am not a rich person but I am an American citizen. I have managed to be part of this beautiful nation, but we cannot demand that this nation give us something where our own country was denied us dignity, to be treated as first class citizens like us in my country and we could not be given that. But well, I hope that these immigrants find the light very soon and that they talk about how badly their own country is treating them, that they say what is happening. Because that is what they should fine or do something so that their own country's government gives them a better life!???

I cannot understand why the only country to request asylum is the United States? Is it the only country that exists in Latin America? If they are fleeing from something to request asylum, why don't they request it in any other country on the continent?

He is also getting rid of legal ways for asylum seekers to get into the country , which isn’t the win y’all think it is. \n\nThe United States created those problems in Latin America that people are fleeing from. \n\nFrom Los Angeles in the Pacific to New York City in the Atlantic, an iron curtain of tyranny, ignorance, and oligarchy has descended across the continent.

I pray for them and My heart hurts for them but immigration needs to be applied for properly and legally and I thank Good we have a President and Vice President and proper Government officals in office again??I pray for every soul who wants to come into country but they must abide by law and do it properly! My life was threatened by an illegal I was working with and when I report nothing was done?We need law and order in our country again and the attacks coming from the criminals and terrorists The Biden admin let in are immenant???Pray they do not blow whole country up as there is 60 thousand pounds of missing fertalizer .That's what was used in Oklahoma City. I believe we must pray hard for the safety of our country?May God Bless and keep our United States of America safe from the terrorists allowed in by Biden Administration????I pray constantly for safety of our Beautiful Country

Making fun of our president and claiming violence on our president of the United states of America Mr. DONALD TRUMPis wrong

Trump is going to transform Mexico into a prime destination for immigrants, not only from Central and South America but also from Africa and Asia, thus Mexico, not the United States, will be the new land of opportunity.

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.

God bless America and protect the people \nPlease com to the United States the right way please

The United States don't want any of these Invaders to come to America! FO!

IF THEY CAN COME 2 GETHER LIKE THIS.....WHY THEY CAN DO THAT. N THEIR OWN COUNTRIES.... BECAUSE THEY R SCARED....IF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS HARD ON LAWS LIKE RUSSIA AND POLAND....THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT AT ALL

⁠We “Black” Indigenous American-Indians are STILL HERE in America. We were NOT killed or poisoned. Black” Aboriginal Indigenous American Indians (Aboriginals, Amerindians) were captured and ENSLAVED (American Indian Slavery) in OUR OWN LAND, America (millions)….while millions of others remained as the Free People of Color while living on and off “Black” American-Indian reservations throughout the Southeastern United States. \n\n“Black” Aboriginal Indigenous American Indians (Aboriginals, Amerindians) are NOT FROM AFRICA (>98.8%).

I don’t think a 14 year old is fit to be the future “Go—-Vernor” of the 51st. State of the United States of America ??

I’ll say this Mass Deportation in The United States of America ?? beings January 21st at 12:01 AM.

issuing VISA is sole discretion of Indian government, so no use crying. And best wishes to governor of 51st state of United States of America

The US government is actually using the name of the continent to its citizens and country. We are US citizens and citizens of the United States. Everyone in North America Central America South America the Americas the American continent is an American like Asia are Asians Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans.Europe has 50 countries Asia has 51 countries Africa has 54 countries Oceania has 14 countries and America is not a country America is a continent of 35 countries in total. ....

How do people think that all immigration law in the United States doesn’t exist. This is crazy. Americas population small compared to globe. Not everyone’s had 6 kids each and wants ti live like sardines

Thrump brandishes the threat of force and puffs out his chest\n\nAfter having lunch with Sarah Netanyahu in his private club in Florida yesterday, December 4, 2024, Thrump, the next president of the world's leading power, made a thunderous statement; threatening those who hold Israeli hostages and their sponsors with terrible reprisals. We know him well enough and we predict a chaotic and catastrophic mandate worse than the first. But this overly muscular statement helps us predict what the foreign policy of this contested and protesting president will be. He who - during his election campaign - made it known that he is against the war in Ukraine and against war in general, we do not understand how he is going to free the Jewish hostages held by Hamas without resorting to the exaggerated deployment of force? But the most serious thing is that during his next term, he would very much risk leading humanity adrift. How can he not learn the lesson of the student movement that shook America at the very beginning of 2024? And how will he dare to swim against the current? Knowing that American youth have clearly become aware of the Palestinian tragedy, firmly opposing their country's strange foreign policy and vigorously condemning the Zionist takeover of their state affairs? Thrump would do well to take into account the cardinal changes that have taken place in the unanimous awareness of international public opinion; otherwise he will be grilled alive. It is not a single man - even if it means being the President of the UNITED STATES of America - who will stop the inexorable march of history. The Palestinian cause obeys this logic of evolution and what has been imposed by force of arms for 75 years has reached its fateful deadline. Today's world is no longer the world of yesterday and Thrump has an interest in drawing the necessary conclusions. The war of liberation will continue with or without him. Israel will be forced to fear international law and Netanyahu will have to serve his sentence emanating from the International Court of Justice incessantly. This is the common sense of history and this is what will drastically comfort international public opinion.

I’m an American citizen who was born in the United States (Hawaii). Everyone has the right to support or not support President Trump’s plans for mass deportation. The interviewer asked this Mexican American woman her opinion and she’s entitled to her opinion. There are a lot of Hispanic people who agree with Trump. I don’t think she’s turning her back on her family by saying “it’s okay” if they get deported. I think she’s respecting and supporting the rules of Immigration laws to have legal documentation to live in the United States. Rather than disrespecting and ignoring Immigration laws the way her family did. I think in a way she’s saying “it’s okay” her family gets deported because they deserve to be penalized for breaking Immigration laws for entering and staying in America for 20 or 30 years illegally which is valid and understandable. It comes down to the phrase “You commit the crime you do the time” whether it’s family or not. I believe she has a leg to stand on because she followed Immigration laws, received her Green Card and is living in the United States legally. If a family member of mine committed a crime and were put in jail or deported back to their country I would say “it’s okay” too. You reap what you sow.

This is the Biden's fault. Trump is try to fix his problem. If United States goes down due to migration, so as Mexico. Mexico should not let the migration to United States if they treat United States as business partner. These migrates came from South America through Mexico, so this is direct problem of the Mexico let it happen. CNN is fade news and try to ruin America.

THIS WOMAN IS SO FULL OF S***, NOBODY ELSE GIVES A F*** ABOUT MEXICO EXCEPT THE UNITED STATES! And America might still have a drug addiction after we shut the border down. BUT WHAT WE WON'T HAVE IS THE MAJOR ISSUE WE HAVE TODAY, WITH THESE DAMN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATS SNEAKING OVER HERE UNDER THE COVER OF NIGHT...LIKE SOME DAMN COCKROACHES!

Intelligently worded letter. I think women have been completely shortchanged in the United States. What countries like Mexico and Argentina saw in this gender was hidden to the supposed “almighty America’. WAS!!!

Hey Mexico don’t send us water America gotta remember that they are reliant on Mexico for their food and first hand necessities. Im Mexican American America first but at the same time this is stupid. The United States cannot feed or support itself. ✡️ let them know Shienbam

One reason people are coming to the United States of America is Mexico has cheap labor with no ? health insurance or workers compensation. When it comes to payday/payroll owners/bosses hid so they don't have to pay their workers! Production workers earn little to none so their bosses take their money ? earned.

What immigrants fear most is working in the United States but getting paid the standard wages in their country of origin, and the difference between native American citizens and those born in the United States, whose wages are according to American standards. I believe that immigrants are returning to their home countries, because the wages for working in America are the same as the wages for working in their home countries. ?

Wow strawberries from Mexico during the winter the year 2024 16.oz $8.00 per pint and my boss at the bakery where I work at is not going to be happy in the year 2025 when Mexico signs in the teriffis against the United States of America and when Trump signs 25% treiffis on Mexico that means my boss will pay $10.00 dollars 16. oz per pint of strawberry's during the winter of 2025 ? sad when Americans will lose their jobs

Even if you're the United States of America, you have to be an idiot if you think you can hold other countries hostage. It's all supposed to be give and take for partners.

trompas only see one thing, mexicans are awake, and we see everything, and since, trompas wants to talk about , getting ripeoff, check this out, it goes like this.,!! estados unidos mexicanos, oaxaca, estado soverano de mexico, , was first , then united state of america, now who is the ripeoff, _________, there is only one civilization with a culture and is not US ., so i call it USAR of mexico.? , so trompas tariff this nuts while you re at it? , lets not forget the sence of humo, ???? nuts,?????

I got a box of something that a factor ??a fact a serious box is a fact ????yes sir CNN ?I got this 20sq.feet to sure tell you right now man what's up now Department of Defense. A fact ???yes sir right now man a fact because who over us and who under us a factor ?yes sir man is there a bunker for United States of America right now we can get in to save our lives from the treason he doing right now because we sure looking for several ?yes hurry up and get us a place to get in right now ?hell yes facts because what he done did is straight up treason.

The fastest way to get your ass kicked in Mexico is to blame Mexico for the drug problem in the United States. Because the Mexican people firmly believe, and this is 110% true, it is actually the drug addicts in America that destroyed Mexico. I used to live there and I know what I'm talking about - an instant argument will break out if you say anything about Mexico drowning America with drugs. Because it's like - what came first - the drugs or the drug addicts? Mexicans just can't figure that one out. Yeah, and this goes back a hundred years or more too.

F that. Stan in Mexico was far more help. How about we focus on America first and stop exporting to Mexico. We are the United States of America they're Mexico. I don't think it's going to set anyone back immensely to just not get any goods from Mexico.

So sad. This woman is suffering from a type of Stockholm Syndrome. She's under the illusion that those white Christian nationalists think of her as a real American. There seems to be so many people who immigrated legally and illegally to the United States who have accepted the denigration and internalized it to a point of self-loathing. They have split from the reality of their roots and feel superior to other immigrants and entitled. So sad that chronic xenophobia has destroyed their empathy. They're in for a very rude awakening when they find out that a large percentage of white America hates them as much as they hate current immigrants.

This lady don't know it yet but she's next to be kicked out of the united states'of America. ?????

If you don't respect our president your not welcome in our country as well, you do the same as you guy's say? don't try to cross in the united state or else explode your brainless?he make america happy again, byeeeeeeee haters !

There are so many hungry and homeless Americans that need attention here in the. United States of America.

How do we explain to our children that you can be a felon, a liar, ruthless, and still be there the president of the United States of America?
