Illegal is illegal. Send them back ALL and let them come in the legal way. Americans are tired of being drained by these people who have not contributed to our economy. They are taking bread out of our family's mouths. That includes the criminals and non-criminals alike. They are all criminals if they came in illegally. America is waking up. That is one of the reasons we voted for President Trump. Send them back.

America always try to bullying to get his way, I can't wait BRICS countries stand up to America

America imports 4M barrels of oil per day from Canada. If Trump would put a 25% tarrif on them and I was Trudeau, I would add an additional 25% export tax onto it. See what the American gasprices will do then. Tarrifs are not the way to go

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

I’m a proud citizen of the USA and a Republican no less. To the people of Mexico and Canada, please kick us to the curb. Our leadership has lost its way and is in desperate need for realignment. For the sake of all in North America, take care of this now, because apparently my fellow citizens cannot.

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

Wow - this makes me sick - bunch of entitled ass-wipes - and don’t come back at me - I’ve known hunger and poverty. Venezuelan people are hated in most of Mexico, Central and South America. They come from a communist country and they are used to getting free everything. They cross 7 countries to shop for the best country with the best benefits near them hence the U.S. Biden messed the U.S. big time by giving them each thousands each in an EBT card to buy their own food cuz they complained about the free food we provided and therefore they were given the money cards and free luxury hotels for housing, free medical, etc. So their people contacted their people over there that we give free luxury 5 star hotel living and money cards over here, open border, etc. We had some at my apt. complex - broken glass in the pool, loud music way past midnight cuz they didn’t have to work -went on for about three years till they were finally evicted. Rudest people i’ve ever met. SMH

I am an Indian from guyana.i am a citizen..you must come in the right way..I waited 10 long years to come here in America. All illigal must go...

I got no fawks to give.. they can turn 180 degrees n walk back the way they came from.. the only ppl with inherent right to cross that border to America are people born in America..just the way its gonna be..go home n make your native homeland great again just like we are

Go back and come in the right way because America has its own problems No country can survive letting everyone in !!! Be angry at the criminals who allowed this crap PINOCCHIO JOE BIDEN AND CRAP SALAD KAMALA HARRIS !!!

I'm Black American/FBA male. Out of all the African countries, Somalia tops the list!!!!! Well, Black Americans tried to warn them about America!!!!! Most African countries didn't care to listen. Instead, we got laugh at???????????????!!!!! Now that Trump is back in office, many African immigrants are very quit now!!!!! They thought we wasn't serious. Now Somalis and other Africans are being deported!!!!! You were warned!!!!! FBA all the way, everyday????????????????????!!!!! Akin?.

When since you Americans are barely surviving?..the way you are boasting about America we thought you all are rich...this is why those people wants to come there and experience some of the 'good' life you all claim to be having. America is not a nice place to live because the people there have no class morals, behavior and are crude and crass to other humans. I am Jamaican and would never live in THAT RAT HOLE called America ????

I say let them in and send them to Biden/ Harris house. Let them ask why they got invited over to America when this was already against the law to migrate this way. Harris had no process in place to handle the mass migration, no limitations. It was all open boarders leaving all the migrants we already had in America in limbo and giving thousands of dollars to all new migrants with no questions asked????

We can’t just keep letting people come in like before. It is not safe for the American people. These are law breakers. Trump is doing his best to stop law breakers from infiltrating Americas borders.there is a right way to enter any country.

Your more than welcome to come to America but the correct way not illegal

Obviously all these people from Bobo suelo did not know about the news about not coming to America can you imagine the way they're still coming how overly swamped we would have been when you offer free with everything free house free car free health free medical you're going to get a lot of blood suckers coming to our country because they want all that free stuff I don't want to pay for it anymore go back to your own country unbelievable that they have that kind of energy when they need to put that energy in their own countries

Go Go Mexico!!\nStay Strong !!\nCanada too will hit back hard with retaliatory tariffs.\nIf that’s the only way that America can learn\nThen let their pain begin\nIt’s time for countries to stand up to Trump and send a strong message that we will not be bullied!!

CNN is doing exactly what they have to do - mess with America the best way they know how. ?

Wait a minute, these people have traveled all the way from Venasualea? Yet they have Cell Phones that are working? They have their nails and hair done? They are all wearing new clothes? I have seen people here in America living on the streets that are not as clean as they are to have traveled hundreds of miles through the Central America Countries and are still looking as fresh as the morning Sun! Are you kidding me or do you think that everyone who watches YouTube is an Idiot!

THIS IS THE WAY THAT AMERICA SHOULD BE. THIS IS WHAT 90% OF AMERICAN WANT AND VOTED FOR

Well the y are hostile and forcing their way into America illegally, so do what it takes to stop them the bullshit needs to stop , let them go home and fix their own damn country with all the drive they are showing to illegally enter America

They are just going to come here and wave their flag. Anyone who comes here their national alliance is to America. The way you get here is the way you keep marching. Forward with your old country behind you, not carrying it on your shoulders with pride. We have some Americans we can send with you!!!! There should be some kind of mass moving out since trump won. Politics ????? now the blue side or left side whatever it's called. They are trying to get people to swear in open court not to do the exact same things they have been doing. ??????

Poor people. America first let them know that you can enter then suddenly block the way.

We all need to stay in our own country, but if you came to America the right way then those people are safe..but if you snuck in our country..SHAME ON YALL..\nPRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS ,Y'ALL AIN'T GO TO GO HOME, BUT YOU GOT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF AMERICA

? What a pansiie..I guess their way is to defend America by scratches and pulling hair???

The USA has so much problems already. Immigrants, taxes, Inflation, and to top it off, it's infrastructure needs to be updated and improved. The UNITED STATES is collapsing. Of course the USA is always helping other countries but it needs to help it's own people first. People reading my message should look up China and watch how their country has improved in technology and infrastructure.... America is way behind.

I am a citizen of America and don’t have problem with who comes the legal way. My husband waited 2 years came here legally pays taxes and works legally. Same should be for them.

America will never be as good as it was before about 1990 when all the 3rd world people started coming in droves. there is a reason everything south of the border is the way it is, and it is not the government. it is the people. look at the inventions, scientific discovery, technology, medicine, that has come from our country, what have the done for the world in the countries below us? NOTHING. being from CNN they are probably happy about this.

As far as healthcare goes the US is a 3rd world country, where, only the rich can afford to see a doctor, or visit a hospital. You have thousands of people living on the streets, with NO help, or concern. America is no different than Bangladesh, or Ethiopia, for having a part of your society living on the street, begging for food, or money. When the US starts caring for ALL of it's people, regardless of skin color, race, or background, and give them a hand up, like most CIVILIZED societies do, you'll always be a 3rd world country. America had a chance to elect a president that would have turned America into a first world power with Kamala Harris, and Tim Waiz, but, you blew it, you re-elected the worst president, EVER with trump, who will finish the job of ruining America, and make it totally poverty-stricken. WOW, you'd think Americans are all millionaires, the way they turned out, for trump! Did NONE of you listen to what Kamala was offering? Because this half blind, mostly deaf old Canadian heard every word, her promise of a bottom-up building more opportunities for poor, and working class families, new taxes on the rich, and corporations to pay for it. Kamala offered a GREAT deal, a more secure future, more OPPORTUNITIES,,,,, And you all turned her down. You voted for a stalker and rapist, a traitor, and criminal, with multiple convictions, a liar, and cheat, trump. I guess you get what you deserve.

The libs cry that we are heartless when we say close the borders ? ? I have one thing to say to them......... Go to their country and try to force your way in, without being properly vetted and see how far you get!! I promise you, the US is a lot more merciful than any other country would be towards people trying to force their way in, or sneak in!!!!! You would be pew pewd on the spot or thrown in a prison you don't want to be in. And that's after they torture you. America has been weak, when it comes to illegals. And they see that. If you still think we are wrong for closing the border, to protect our country, you need to pack up and leave.... We do not know a thing about this people coming across, and you wouldn't let some stranger into your home, without first knowing who they are and what their reason is for coming in!! We need to be this way at every port of entry into this country.

Stay out of America UNLESS YOU DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.

We’re going into an era where we’re going to learn the hard way, the world don’t give a fuck about the US anymore. And those counties are going to turn to Asia and South America for leadership.

I'm sure(haha) these people WALKED ALL THE WAY from Venezuela South America to El Paso Texas North America.

There is a proper way to migrate to the U.S. and this is not it! America does not need more people who refuse to follow our laws.

Stop whitewashing your wording. They are not undocumented migrants. They are illegal immigrants! I'm sorry that words hurt you guys and possibly the majority of your viewers but that's the truth! If someone wants to come here, I have no problem with that nor do the majority of Americans. This is an amazing nation. However, there are many legal ways to do it. I've served with several fellow Marines that did it the right (legal) way. And let's not forget, it's not only people from Central and South America that are pouring across that southern border. We've caught countless people on the terrorist watch list including people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the like pouring across the border because they know how easy it is. Everyone is just mad because we finally have leadership that is doing something about it. And apparently, the libtards are either simply naive enough to think bad people would not come across the border and all those caravans are full of innocent women and children or they are trying to bring about the downfall and collapse of the United States. This is all simply ridiculous!

Get the troops. No way. America 1st.

I agree, why don't they rise against their own nations as a free people and take back their countries!!! They obviouslt have desires to elevate their lives in some way, we americans had to fight for our country and it wasn't exactlt easy, these people are weak and pathetic for running away from their problems only to bring our country more problems that we can't deal with ourselves, I say we just hand them all a surplus of guns and a campaign plan to take back their own country lol, as much as I hate seeing any human suffer aside from rapists and murderers and child sex abusers, we in America have too many problems ourselves, and I was always told if you can't fix yourself, or love yourself how can you ever hope to be and good for anyone else, and that rings so true with everything, these people need to stand on their own 2 feet and fight against whatever tyranny they have and become a free people, I know if they did that someday they would probably succeed, and perhaos if they did start fighting for their freedom and trying to take back their country, we Americans might help them succeed in those endeavors some way or another...Who knows, these people need to rush their own governments and plead with them or overtake them, they can bum rush our borders I see no reason why they're not capable of doing the same in their own country, massive numbers beats out a shaggy old military and corrupt government any day everytime, yes many lives lost, but the sounds of trumpets for victort will ring out loudly on the end, and the people can finally have the lives and country they desire, we ain't it right now folks so turn back around and take all this border crossing energy to fight against your own establishments

Amazing how these fine people who should remain in America (according to some) were not wanted back by their own country. When they were willing (for about an hour, LOL) to have a trade war because that's how badly they did not want them back, it goes a long way to prove that Trump is right.

President trump i was your fan,and im still your fan now and u will succeed its my own personal beliefs on you definitely will succeed, unfortunately not everyone going to fell the same good feelings for you, you cant win over every single human beings on this entire world,you can try harder anyway you can but i do apologise every body cant love you,good way not wad way why? You have give everything to others to make them smile? You are totally right about everything i do love your mentality keep giving, keep giving why? not keep receiving im sorry i changed the system completely i do apologise its new system's no moore extra help others every body is dead may true god be your side i know you believe in you own god jegus Christ its beautiful to believe in great lord jegus Christ easy rules, welcome to United States of America difficult to get there

Well, good that South America is having a Latin summit. Hope they can talk about how they can make South America better. That way citizens dont have to risk their lives crossing through Mexico.

Trump will lose you cannot bully your way world wide. Trump has NO negotiating skills he just short pays contracts locally America is doomed with the orange ? at the helm

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

THAT'S BIDENS AMERICA!!! THAT LOSER LOOKED THE OTHER WAY... INSTEAD OF DOING HIS JOB!! LOSER

Good job CNN in contributing to the missinformation by ommiting the reason they rejected the planes, it's not that they aren't and won't be accepting their people. that's illegal under general international law, Colombia is rejecting the inhumane conditions in which america has decided to send them that's why they even offer their own planes to do it the right respectful and diplomatic way.

Good for Columbia. Stand proud and stand tall 60% of America is behind you all the way. The tariffs won't affect your country just makes prices higher for us which is what trump wants to do to keep all of us suppressed as all dictators do!!

So every time Trump doesn’t get his way he takes it out on the American people. I guess that’s what America first means.

My neighbors are Chinese and they are laughing their azzes off. They just told me that by the end of this year Central and South America will be under 100% Chinese control. And damn they are right. Way to go carrot. ??????

This way America can port a lot of CIA agents and spies to other countries. And it's not worth it.

Good! America needs to start taking care of its it's people FIRST, we have citizens of all races and religious backgrounds and they matter! We can only do so much and it has to be done the right way! We cant open borders and continue to destroy our country!!!
