The most unfortunate result of the presidential election is that Trump thinks he won because people like him and now has a mandate for his reckless policies. He doesn’t seem to understand that the only reason he won was because people don’t like Kamala Harris’s woke agenda, the problem with the border, Biden economics and her stupidity. America was forced to choose between two totally inept, incompetent idiots and chose what they perceived to be the lesser of two evils. Now we will see unreasonable chaotic lunacy unleashed. Congratulations to the irresponsible and incompetent morons who provided Americans with this disastrous election.

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

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

Yes they will never admit that they sold lots of weapons to the Sinaloa cartel and others so they can kill each other why they never talk about it? Because that's who they are terrorists since the beggining acquiring lands like half of mexico,Australia,Hawaii and numerous others that's how they make money like the wars right now in Ucrania and Gaza and they will use American contractors to become richer like black rock and Elon musk etc etc by the way why is a billionaire doing in his government? When he doesn't have any credentials besides being rich? There is lots of wisdom here will the racist of Fox someday admitted the real truth? I seriously doubt it

but, but, but, he. doesn't. care. All he wants is control, he wants to control every aspect of every former american citizen. I live in AZ. What are white people going to do when there are no nannies, maids, landscapers, construction workers, janitors, line cooks, farm labor, or anyone to work any other low wage position... white people are not going build their own block walls, or install their pools, cut their own lawns... we are just as addicted to paying people scraps to make our lives work as we are addicted the drugs that are sent north. this. is. insanity.

Is he going to charge tariffs to the cartels? Or maybe like he said, bring the manufacturing Companies here, American made, no more buying from other countries! Why doesn’t he offer that to the cartels and have them manufacture their drugs here?

Trump isn’t very Intelligent and acts like a Mobster. He doesn’t have any Critical Thinking Skills as he runs like a Wild Bull on the Plaines. Believing he’ll get kick backs on one or all of these so called Tariffs. It’s no different than what he did his first administration with many donations (kickbacks) from World Leaders! All of which weren’t reported and only recently documented. What’s happening in this new coming Administration will look like the biggest HEIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY, with the replacement of every government employee with (YES) Employees. Trump’s in debt for 2 Billion after the Election; so he’ll have to get his money back through every course possible! Which will lead to every American being put in the Poor House during his time in Office. People will have to remember his comments demeaning every American as losers as he Raises Taxes and Product Inflation go through the roof, while the wealthiest live TaX Free again within his Second Administration! “Sometimes in Life, you can’t see the Forest for the Trees.” It’s harder to see the TRUTH, by the amount of the LIES!???

I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

I’m an American and I’m so sorry to the other countries for having an ignorant president talking about issues he doesn’t fully understand.

Why should Americans care about what Mexico says if Mexico doesn’t care about the safety and welfare of America?

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.

If tariffs costs are not paid by the country they're placed on, then why would she care? It doesn't affect Mexico, it affects the US, so why not just say, go ahead you're not gonna hurt us in anyway and it's not gonna stop migrants or Americans from carrying drugs over the border. Trump needs to look at our laws if he wants to stop Americans from being drug mules..

Even as an American, I fully support Sheinbaum on this. She shouldn't take this mess from Trump, who doesn't truly know the effects of these proposed tariffs. An American politician trying to play hardball with Canada and Mexico is some nasty work.

I can’t understand why people in America can’t see that Trump is in the political game to meet his own needs and agenda!! In short he is the biggest and now the most untrustworthy criminal in the WORLD!!! He is going to destroy America and everything America stands for and he will do it with no considerations for the population!!! Why is one man, and a man with severe mental problems able to upend the total legal fraternity of a country and not be held accountable!!! The existing government can clearly see the dangers of this incoming administration but sit idly by and allow this corruption to manifest! Biden has the ability and powers of the presidency to stop Trump in his tracks, Why isn’t he? What is Biden afraid of? Trump is one man or is it the behind the scenes organisations that have installed trump and bought the presidency for him to serve their own agendas . With a total moron like Trump at the helm there are foreign adversaries that are going to complete the destruction of American institutions in a way that is going to severely damage Americas standing in the world!! The people that voted this evil man into office have no idea what hardships they are going to endure for the foreseeable future because a man like Trump doesn’t spend a minute of his day considering what’s best for someone else only his own interests!

Shows you how simple minded the American right is buying Orange man’s rhetoric - doesn’t take a rocket scientist to google the basic workings of tariffs and how it actually affects people …. So given the fact that it is very easy to research this stuff it shows you how lazy and dumb the American right is

Why doesn't CNN talk about how tariffs raise prices for Americans??? Seriously, a lot of the problems we are facing now, is because media like CNN, isn't telling what exactly this stuff does, they normalize and that's why Americans are unaware of what tariffs really do. Also, Mexico has said they'll deport Americans that are there as well.

Take our country back? This coming from a Mexican-American? What country are you talking about? Get out of America if you don't love our country. America is already great, it doesn't need ignorant people like you in it.

This Mexican American is a bloody ass spewing pure crap she certainly doesn’t wish anyone any good as if anyone is really listening poor fool

I guess Americans don't understand how this affects inflation. Usually with virtually no unemployment the consequence is inflation(loo NAIRU). The main reason that doesn't happen in the US is those immigrants with low paying jobs. If those get deported prices will go up, either because they would have to pay more to American workers or, more likely, those sectors like agriculture would banished and importing good is more expensive.\nIn any case it will make the average citizen poorer

She ignorant. She refuses to look at all facts; 11 undocumented workers vs 300+ million Americans? The math doesn't add up. The problem is the top 10 percent of the wealthiest Americans and corporations hogging all the wealth and depriving the rest of Americans.

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.

As a Mexican American she’s a sellout to her own community. So much for the party of family values when they’re so quick to turn on their own. If MAGA had the chance they’d deport her to with her broken English. MAGA doesn’t like you!

You’re not Mexican American lady! You were born in Mexico. You are Mexican. That’s how you are listed on government documents. She doesn’t realize that they will never see her as a true American. She’s an embarrassment to the culture. I say this as true Mexican American with love for my people regardless of legal status. There wasn’t ever an actual line where you stand and wait. She’s a freaking liar. Bruja!

This lady has lost her mind. She’s doesn’t get it! You can put on that Trump hat and think you’re mixing in with the white Americans, but in their eyes and Trumps eyes you’re just another Mexican, the “bad people”. I wish you get deported for being this ignorant.

Wake up history is repeating again doesn't anyone remember when after the Japanese war. When government rounded up American Japan and put them in camps and. Deported them. And any actors that was on there side got blacklisted. ?

Doesn't she know that round up applys to her she wasn't born here .Unbelievable ? your not Mexican American Viejas Pendeja .Educate your self on his policy By felisha ?

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.

Sadly, DT's policies will affect every American, including his base. He plans to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, the PACT Act (a Veteran benefit), the CHIPS Act, and the list goes on. Trump will take credit for all the good that Biden did, the same way he did after Obama. These ignorant people voted for hate to continue, and that's all they'll get for their vote. And now, they'll find out how much they're hated. He told them he doesn't care about them, just their vote. Only the rich will benefit.

I am a U.S. born Mexican-American. This woman disgusts me. My father was a decorated WWII veteran. He, too, was a U.S. born citizen, as well as my mother. We never had much. One thing they both taught me was to help people who had less than we did. I look mexican, yet when I open my mouth, I don't have the accent my parents had. I have been targeted by random people just minding my business running errands. I have on occasion stuck up for my fellow Hispanic when I have seen them ignored and mistreated. What the f is wrong with this person. Was she not taught anything about empathy and compassion? Isn't she at risk of being deported? The green card can easily be taken away. Honey, they don't want us here. Yes, I include myself in that. This woman is as racist as any skin head. They will turn on her in a second. What a fool. Even Mexico doesn't deserve for this woman to be tossed back to them.

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 think immigrants should do it the proper way. That has nothing to do w trump. It’s what I believe. To the woman: Lady he doesn’t want you or me here. I’m an American. ?

Lady, take it back from whom? Most of the southwest belonged to MEXICO before the Mexican-American War. The North American land mass belonged to NATIVE AMERICANS before European settlement. Geez, she doesn't even know her own Mexican history! What a dumbass!

It's time to get LEGAL AND PAY TAXES ALSO OR LEAVE. They are GIVING billions of taxpayers dollars to illegals who come here and strain our systems while AMERICANS ARE LOSING OUT. We need our manufacturing back in our own countries. And our own farmers can handle our food. Our farmers are under fire. They need our support. And we have always had WORK VISAS for seasonal workers for AG. That doesn't mean they can come here illegally and DRAIN OUR RESOURCES . This isn't even remotely logical. You cannot have a successful economy or a secure safe country WITHOUT LAWS to govern immigration.

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.

LOL!! I can’t help but notice this lady says “we need to take back OUR country” AFTER she’s secured her “GREEN CARD”!! Not sure if she realizes that many Americans consider people not born here as “outsiders” whether you have a “green card” or not!! SHE IS VERY LUCKY SHE ALREADY HAS HER “GREEN CARD” OR she’d be one of the many going back to their own country soon! \n\nPretty sure TRUMP views ANYONE who wasn’t born here doesn’t belong here, EXCEPT HIS & J.D. VANCE’s SPOUSES OF COURSE! But I think he may be concentrating on people that came in under Biden’s Administration for now??

If you are mad about illegal aliens getting deported, you are mad about lower prices for American citizens. If you call someone a traitor for voting for trump you are a traitor yourself. They are illegally coming into our country. If you US citizens illegally go into other countries you will probably die or be held for ransom. Why are y’all so happy and ready to pay for other people when we have families veterans homeless to feed the government uses illegal immigration as an excuse to spend government funds as an excuse to rebuild America for Democratic party votes That is absurd and insane. If you support this, you are a threat to democracy and a traitor to the US the Democrats committed treason over the last four years and if you look back in history, it goes on and on They have never helped the American people for American people. They aren’t for us. Wake up, realize who controls the media realize who is trying to consistently brainwash you realize who doesn’t want our country where our bills say in God we trust to no longer be a Christian country. Let’s go back to a wireless and Affordable country. Let’s not instigate fuel support and fun wars across the world let’s tax other countries and receive money from other countries rather than take from American citizens that can’t afford to be taken from. in God we trust God bless America

The so-called Trump voters who said they are regretting voting for Trump are crazy. I don't understand why they should be regretting? Everybody knows what Donald Trump's intentions are. For example, the 100% rise on tariffs on imported goods, which Trump had tried during his first term and it backfired. Majority of Americans electorate are not just that rational. They make decisions based on emotions. Trump just kept on invoking emotional mantra like the migrants are invading American, woman is not strong and smart enough to be the president of US, a black woman from black immigrant family are not smart enough to be the president of US - old stereo type that have torment America from slavery. It doesn't take rocket science to understand why Trump played on the emotions of Americans. Trump knows that, that is why he kept repeating those emotional mantra, and not talking about the issues. Trump - bonefide conman - and his advisers understood this very well and used to con Americans to vote for him. Good con-job Donald. Kudos.

That woman is a typical example she reached her status so it’s time to pull up the ladder for anybody else. I’m okay so why should I worry? I hope she doesn’t get picked up by mistake by the ice. Then she will have to prove her American she is

Trump is going to do whatever the F he wants to do for the next 4 years . That’s what white nationalist and racist Americans want him to do . He doesn’t care and he’s going to be supported no matter what\nStop asking this guy questions you already know the answer to.

The 1980's use to have Immigration sweeps through neighborhoods and Americans could call Immigration to report locations illegals were dwelling and working at. they aren't difficult to get out if they're only choice is to pay a consequence for entering illegally or leave on their own so it doesn't cost the Tax payer.

He doesn’t understand the agricultural labor crisis. This will cause American farmers to suffer and face major crop losses because they won’t have the labor to harvest. That will hurt the farmers and the people who buy food at the store.

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN doesn't understand how this will implode the economy.\nTHE AVERAGE AMERICAN doesn't understand what a 2 TRILLION DOLLAR hole in our GDP looks like.\nTHE AVERAGE AMERICAN who voted for this, must want $20 bananas, $30 buckets of strawberries. \nHave fun with that.

Lol this is going to be a shocking rude awaking for maga and the rich idiots ,you think Americans are going to pick food or stay ina job that doesn't pay enough to survive or clean a motel room lawn wk daycare on and on .people need a reality check and about to git one Americans are entitled people .good luck yall voted for him the tariffs alone is bad enough but take away the workers .keep up the good wk

These losers don't like competition that's all lying lady she came across like everyone illegally lying sack and all these illegals alot of them paying there taxes unlike losers already here not paying finding ways to lie on taxes to not pay plus lady trump doesn't like u at all ur one of the first regardless of being a citizen wholly get tossed out by him he hates all Mexicans and Mexican Americans they don't see u as a Mexican American they see u as a beaner retarded dumb lady

Civil Asset Forfeiture doesn't matter if your are legal or otherwise. Do not go to the United States unless you are a citizen. There are a million ways these Evil Americans will target you. Particularly Texas.

Alex Garland’s Civil War posed the question: “What KIND of American are you?”\nIf Trump’s wannabe Brown shirts realise expelling immigrants isn’t fixing the price hikes Putin’s war and COVID and now Middle East tensions have foisted upon the entire globe , do these people imagine it won’t be them that get pointed at next?\nGot to feel bad for them because MAGA really doesn’t give one wafer thin sliver of a $#1t about them

I can tell all the comments on this panel were made by President Trump's haters. Love all God's Creation, but, please, watch out for your neighbor. Help everybody you can, including the animals. All these people don't have to be in this Country. They have their own, why can't they make their country a much better place for them and their families to live. Look at the way they are acting. They came as guest, now they are acting like they are the owners. Are you so blinded by hate for this man who loves his Country so much, that you can't see the danger we are in with this illegals in our Country? What are you going to do when you won't have a place to live with your families or can't pay for your needs, because there are no housing or jobs, because everything that belong to you were given to them? What about the crimes they are doing in our communities. They are not here to HELP US, they are here to take what it's ours and replace us. There's not any worse than a blind, who don't want to see. These people are destroying our Beautiful Country and all we can do is hate this President, who the only thing he wants to do is save it for us. He doesn't need anything, we do need and we have to take care of what we have or we will lose it. Oh, by the way, we can't go to their Countries and live there, because they hate Americans. And we are a bunch of ingrates and don't appreciate the Blessings that God Almighty gifted us and President Trump is one of those Blessings, in Jesus Name, AMEN.

Trump may have won the 2024 election, will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2025 to become the 47th U.S. President, but Trump isn’t my president. Allow me to explain. There are certain attributes that define a U.S. president. A U.S. president places the citizens of this country ahead of his own personal interests. Trump doesn’t do that (hasn’t done that). Trump is self serving. On Jan ’21, Trump became an insurrectionist. Many citizens and police officers were injured and one police officers lost his life. According to the Constitution (the Supreme Court disagrees with me), Trump incited citizens to overthrown the certification of the 2020 election. Insurrection is one of the lowest acts any American can do, let alone a U.S. President. Trump states that the “insurrection” falls under immunity for “official acts”. Since when is “insurrection” an “official presidential duty”? Trump is a known Master Liar. This is beyond a moment when a president estimates, guesses and exaggerate numbers, figures and facts. Trump just lies – over 2k+ lies. Trump cannot be trusted in telling Americans the truth. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a lie flies out! Trump doesn’t appear to be able to help himself. One lie after another. Spreading the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” and not providing legal evidence is an unforgivable act that Americans should #NEVER forget. MAGA, selected GOP, Christian Nationalists don’t appear to be troubled that Trump cannot tell the truth. To me, the truth strengthens the bond of trust – I have NO Trust for Trump! MAGA, Christian Nationalists and some selected GOP – I may use big words that you don’t comprehend such as: Liar, Convicted Felon, sexual misconduct, Insurrection, Fraud, election interference, Unauthorized Possession of classified documents. These are some, not ALL, of the words that defines Trump and his actions. These things do NOT appear to cause any concerns with the 71.2m people who cast their vote in the Nov 5th ’24 presidential election. Trump had unauthorized possession of classified material. (I am not certain what Classified Material Trump possessed, but if these documents would put my friends, my family and I in harm’s way – it’s a problem.) Again, those who voted for Trump, the 71.2m people, #NEVER thought about this. If they had, Trump would #NEVER have received their vote. America has a short attention span. How quickly have we forgotten that Trump’s inaction of Covid-19 could have prevented many from becoming ill and millions losing their lives. (If one of your loved ones have passed due to Covid-19, you will remember Trump’s inability to deal and handle the situation. It is something you will #NEVER forget.) I will not write a book here, but the listed reasons above is why Trump may be the 47th President of the United States, but he isn’t my president. My president would have #NEVER done these things to an American.

Trump doesn’t care about due process, he doesn’t even care about loyalty. He locked up his own lawyer because his lawyer decided to use something called the first amendment. His lawyer, what makes you think he’s going to care about some voter he’s never met before!? I’m fifth generation Irish American and even I’m concerned about getting deported.

Sounds remarkedly like rounding up the Jews and loading them on the trains, in the second world War. He needs to be careful that this doesn't bite him on the bum. These people are the low paid workers, the tax payers, the non union workers who do the jobs that Americans don't want.
