Wow, imagine being in a foreign country illegally, of course you should be scared.

Exaggeration, scaring people instead of realising ICE agents actions are only now being followed/ recorded/ reported. There hasn’t been a massive increase as yet. It is increasing but will be costly and will take time.

Oh but they were not scared crossing illegally ?

Go ram your government you’re too scared and too sorry do what we did stay in your own country. Do some about them people where you live at if y’all can ram the border, y’all can get them together in your country. I don’t understand what’s the problem we got killed and everything else but we stood fast try it and see what happened. Maybe you can change some stuff in Mexico.

I would be scared if I broke the law of another country too ? Note to self: DON'T BREAK LAWS OF OTHER COUNTRIES ?

Thats a sorry of a joke barrier. Trump needs to pull US funding and stop playing around. Its obvious the Mexican government is scared of the cartels.

How you going to tell somebody what to do and your ass was scared to go to the damn service because you had a bad toe scariest A$$?????????????????

A drag commander.bet the enemy is scared ?

Trump shut up already. You were to scared to serve. the only thing you can serve would be jail time

All the scared little men in the comments are so pathetic. Almost 20 years... 2 tours and 60 combat missions but all you care about is genitalia. Its sooo creepy.

He must have scared the pants off of our enemies???

But but Trump scared them away and they're not trying to get in. LOL

Trump has scared people, they probably wouldn't be doing this so aggressive if they weren't really scared

Oh look - Trump being a leader , getting the job done . Just imagine - Trump wins the 2020 election - a secure border , almost zero illegals. Trump tells Putin the way it’s going to be , bullying him or otherwise , who cares - no Ukraine conflict - no million dead - no ruin of large parts of Eastern Ukraine , and a lot of scared , undertrained young Russian conscripts still alive . Just think , in 2020, Trump bullies Iran , a terrorist rogue state - he DOES NOT end their trade embargoes like Biden did , he does not gift them billions of dollars like Biden did , and he does NOT turn a blind eye to them breaching the limits placed on their nuclear program. The result - a broke Iran , no WMD, NOT selling Trillions of dollars worth of oil to China - and in no position to attack Israel via its proxies. Imagine that . Imagine then , the previously vibrant U.S oil and gas industry , making the U.S self-sufficient , not in the current position where the U.S is on it’s knees , begging the Saudis to sell supplies the U.S. THAT , is about to change. Like him or not -Trump gets it done . He was brokering peace deals in Ukraine and Palestine - even as Biden was authorising the firing of U.S missiles into Russia - you know just provoking some crazy megalomaniac to start a nuclear exchange . Pitiful Biden , weak , demented , corrupt and criminally irresponsible.

Haha! Columbia is scared! Winning that keeps winning!

just keep the americans scared and dumb. Elon musk and donald trump's plan is working way to easily. Too bad americans rather have tiktok instead of actually learning to read.

Hahaha so scared of trumps Tariffs..NOT!! American coffee drinkers enjoy your very expensive morning beverage ?

Nice to see we are caving to the pressure from the united states. Thank god. And the canadian media still tries to tell you america is scared of our retaliation tariffs lol what a joke.

Trump scared them shitless. 30 minutes later another W..: I wonder why democrats liked there dementia patient so much!? poor Dems

Only the republicans are scared of trump

Trump is acting like the Cowardly Lion. He’s swinging in all directions and everyone around him and not scaring anyone.

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this. But it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. I don’t shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA—at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From today on, Colombia is open to the entire world with open arms. We are builders of freedom, life, and humanity. \n \nI am informed that you imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

The tariff scared the Colombians our planes are going to land and they can have all their illegal aliens back

It’s funny the reporter says Biden send more deportations than Trump but people loved travelling to US when Biden was there and now they are scared when Trump is there haha

You know what I liked about Biden's Open Door Policy? It didn't exist. Truth is Biden's administration deported more illegals than Trumps first one, and Obama deported more than the two combined, but you didn't hear about them, why? Because they didn't take Victory Laps, they didn't use fear and hate as a political tool. Biden and Obama ran a Professional Operation, it wasn't half-assed, sloppy, or ham-fisted. And do you know what half-assed and sloppy creates? It creates Mistakes and breeds Escalation, that's what scares me the most. We've already seen the mistakes, legal citizens picked up, sooner or later, and probably sooner, the Escalation will come, somebody will do something really stupid and blood will start to spill.

?president Trump if he keeps this up I'm scared he's going to make us have a wor over here. We don't need this. He need to talk to a doctor because he's needing it.

So tariffs cost more for Americans explain why Columbia is scared of them?

Will CNN follow up on this? No..... they want the scare to be in place.\nPresident of Columbia already back tracked and offered to send his own plane for pick up instead.

They scared of they own criminals ?

Good for you trump !!! How is it wrong to send back criminals back to country of orgin . Yes raise tariffs !!!! They need us more then we need them !!! Others countries will fill the void !!! Stop being scared of tariffs when you run the show you control the long game .

Lmao Columbia got scared and caved in immediately hahaha let’s go\nTrump. No country is going to test trumps Gangster. He’s valid

yeah, tariffs on colombian goods, that'll get them scared, lol

Ohhhhhh... They're so scared!

Columbia is joining BRICS, they're aren't scared ?

you dont seem to be highlighting that trump is increasing inflation and is going to push his uneducated maga supporters into poverty. CNN failing again, are you really that scared of him?

So how's that strong man bullying working out for you tRump? Are crops are going to waste in the field because you're scaring people and you're not even deporting as many people as Biden did without all the drama! You know you could actually work with some of these countries and get a much better return.

That’s right, Trump starts it all off by picking a fight with perhaps the weakest of his new adversaries. This is the example that I guess is supposed to scare everyone else.

The world is not scare of the crazy orange man, good for all country leaders standing up to the beast.

Thank you. I've trapped myself in my house. Now I'm trapped myself in . scared. Can someone can help me??????????????

They need to employ the lead law.. they won't stop trying and coming until they are scared instead of waiting for a free hand out.. they need woke up

Just tell them how racist America is. That should scare them away. Get Obama to warn them.

Not a fan of trump but this has to happen it’s so rampant. Canada will fall victim next, in fact we are in the midst of it with student visas that expire and asylum is then requested, but we are too scared to do anything and would rather see our country slowly die for fear of speaking up.

Donald Trump is doing what no President has ever done or scared to do!

They are scared of President Trump??????????

How bad is Canada? Is Mexico better than Canada? Because I’m in Mexico and is difficult too but is cheaper, I will move to Canada to study practical nursing and I’m a permanent resident there but I’m scared if I’m doing the correct

Blessings to the scared and running who only wish to have a life of peace and contribution free from violence, persecution, and poverty.

Why do the racist people always get brave with Muslim women and not the men shows there scared of the consequences as that attitude would not be tolerated he would have got put in hospital long time.

They don’t have to give up hope, just have to come in the correct way. This is a chance to work there, save money so they can take of themselves once they get here instead of being a burden on us. Strange how they are afraid for their children being left after school but not scared of them drowning or being eaten by some jungle animal getting here.

This is mad. This lady here goes down to the Oxford union debate in the UK and she said that indians globally are flaunting their passport, and now she is telling indians are being rejected by visa due to some bullshit reasons. The hard fact is that Indians are so fed-up with their country that they go to any where illegally and countries are scared of them, tbh that's what indians are doing as there is no jobs no opportunities here for them. The Henley pasport index ranks countries passports based on how many visa free visits are allowed for a countries passport and has nothing to do with paper works and racism. Such an hypocrite she is.
