America has been invaded. We are going to have to end up doing the same as Poland is now doing to illegal immigrants, and also the politicians enabling this insanity must be tried for treason. As long as the entire world has American people to come take advantage of, they will never even try to fix their own countries.

If they are that destitute, why are they laughing as they’re doing this??and why do they think , they have the right to bust into our home ? wonder what would happen, if a bunch of Americans would try to raid their borders ,and enter into their homeland. Probably get shot on site.

I have seen so many news organizations trying to garner sympathy for people here illegally being deported. It's not working! The majority of Americans voted for this. I don't know why that's so hard for them to comprehend.

Why wasn’t trump ready for this because he trying to put out good American who work hard now fox this you talk about Biden make it make sense

Thousands of immigrants have taken jobs and homes away from true Americans and legal immigrants.\nThat’s why you see so many people living in tents in the streets.\nAmerica is only trying to fix its own problems.

If thousands of Americans gathered on the Mexican border and tried to rush the border like that the Mexican Army would open fire with everything they had!

Because greed, power and money has made Venezuelan try to escape want America has done to their country. They’re over 500 American companies. America pays. $325 billion for oil products. Americans have invaded that country for profit. They just showed you what happens with power, greed, and money as their weapons!. As Americans, we must Unite as 1! Drop, your weapons of hate and ban together to take control of the dynamics that we live in! Or we can become and will spiral as next third world country!\n\n9.3 million Venezuelans are moderately to severely food insecure – one-third of the population. According to the United Nations, 7 million Venezuelans urgently need humanitarian assistance. More than 5.4 million Venezuelans have fled the country.

People trying for a better life..the old American story

Need to send more troops, these folks think we can support them and we can’t , we have homeless veterans living on our streets, not only other homeless families because of severe weather damage trying desperately to get help, sorry but AMERICANS first !

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. ??????

so let's pose a question to all those who seem to just hate the LGBTQIA+ community for whatever their reasons are....if someone who happens to be transgender saves your life, saves the life of one of their team members or perhaps leads an OP to a successful outcome, would you say that they were unqualified after the fact ? would you say that now as the regulations are being changed that they were never qualified to have performed those duties in the past ?? I've said this before, when you're downrange you don't give a damn if someone has a taco or a hotdog in their lunchbox, all that matters is that they've got your six and are willing to complete the directive as ordered. Every single one of you haters needs to realize that so many LGBTQIA+ service members have dedicated their efforts to keeping your asses safe in this country since the inception of the uniformed services were established. Should they not have done so ? Why does who they love, have sex with or how they dress actually matter to you as long as you're still able to go out and feed your fat ass an all American Cheeseburger under the watchful eye of the American Flag ?! And at the end of the day, all they ask is to be able to serve their country with dignity. It's disgusting that so many of y'all simply hate other folks this way and try to diminish the service of the LGBTQIA+ community.

You’d think they’d be running the other way and it’d be like the south park episode with border agents patrolling for Americans trying to flee to Mexico the way the left paints it. Still curious why try to flood in now when it’s less likely you can hang around mooch off the taxpayers very long?

Did this really happen, or is CNN simply trying to stir up Americans so they'll not care as much about deportations?

I am from Russia and tried to get a job at a Mexican restaurant, to which they answered me that they only hire their own. After i found another and they hired me to work at a restaurant where the owner was a white man. Thanks to the Americans for hiring me. And i came legally.

Hello people hello world this is the Mississippi boy let me be very clear every black person minority person transgenders people that are in military they ought to resign just quit in the army armed forces whatever they are in position that they have taken in this country they do not need to work up under this administration to protect this country especially if you are black and minorities native Americans and other races here working and trying to protect this country they all should resign and quit and let Donald Trump send his family members and friends and these white privilege white supremacist people to war and let them defend this country not us as poor People's and these people don't care nothing about us but we will go out here and lose our life for protecting these white supremacist here in this country it's time to wake up America it's time to wake up people

They take away from so many homeless Americans, especially women. Enough is enough. There are so many in this video trying to get in. Imagine what would happen if they succeeded? Not to mention the ones that are already here. I don't feel bad for them. If they stick together, they can make their Mexico a great america, too.

Stay in your own country and fight for your homeland like our forefathers did!!! Americans are sick of you trying to get a free ride off of our hard labor. Get your green card or come in legally......period!!!

Attention all illegals trying to get into the US. \nGOOD NEWS = The Trump Government is now offering you free plane rides home to visit your families. All paid for by American tax payers. \nThen you can come back again and again, with more free rides home each time you get caught . \nNow you have even MORE of an incentive to come to America illegally. \nYes, American Trump supporters are that stupid!!!

1- , 2 Colombian planes just arrived in the USA to take its deported citizens\n\n2- Venezuela doesn't allow deported Venezuelans from ANY country, NOT ONLY USA, a couple of S. American countries already tried\n\n3- If imported goods from Colombia become too expensive, then, that will benefit other countries like Ecuador and Peru that have the same type of goods that are imported from Colombia.. like coffee, flowers, tropical fruits, etc.\nAnd for those, like AOC, who think that they can't live without their Colombia coffee... well, they haven't tried Peruvian coffee, which is now considered among the best in the world \n\n4- The main reason why the Colombian government gave in to Trump's demands was not only bcz the tariffs but the fact that Trump threatened them with deporting and canceling all visas for all Colombian government members and their relatives........

If these people showed this much determination to find themselves something into there own country they wouldn't need to come here. We are trying to make our own country better for Americans and they should carry the same energy within their own borders

These are Americans trying to get the hell out of Donald Trump's America!?

Can you imagine if that was a huge mob of Americans trying to get into Mexico?

This absolutely must stop! Americans themselves have great difficulties just trying to survive!

PREDICTION: The rise of international tariffs will ultimately uncover a huge underbelly of unemployment ironically in the USA and create a wave of an unexpected underbelly of poverty unseen by America in many years. USA will suffer in the next 4 years due to tariff wars and causing its international allies work in new relationships with its unexpected competitors such as China. The EU will learn how to live without relying on the USA - as is the same with China and other countries. America will have to self-rely on itself - causing it to recycle its own money over and over again to try and create home-grown industries that will initially be very expensive to run. \n\nCompetitive countries will strike deals with American allies and form new relationships that the USA hadn't foreseen - and the era will illustrate an international 'Us' vs US mentality. Countries will turn their back on America, knowing they can work well together than rely on the USA. \n\nThe average US citizen will be receiving tax rise after tax rise, causing more poverty within states and due to the 'xenophobic tariff mentality' - will find the middle income earner slip down to a lower grade, and ripple this effect. Medical aid will only benefit the rich while everyone else will pay for minimum service but premium for medication. \n\nThe price of food and transport will quadruple over the next 4 years, not because of the natural progression of price rise, but immediately due to tariff wars. \n\nAmericans, ultimately pay for tariffs - bullying words of 50 percent tariffs on another country means a surge in prices for everyday goods Americans take for granted. The only winner is the Government - which means it chooses what to spend on. \n\nA recession will hit hard....AGAIN -- on the USA.

Liberals are giving away our country for free and trying to kill Americans. Never vote Democrat again.

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!

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

This fits Trump's narrative too well. CNN coverage has changed since ownership switched hands. We knew it would be gradual perceptive switch but it has indeed fallen from the standards of the past. Closer to a fox for the next caste up. You only know what you are shown. You work the same job and see the same people. If you watch the same news outlets you are exposing yourself to information crafted from the same perspective. My world is small vs reality and yours is too. Think about the decades of Americans trying to keep them out, investing money in walls and barriers and wire when we could have helped stabilize these countries to where these guys wouldn't feel like they HAD to come here to live with dignity. All To be treated like this. We have had decades to fix the problem acknowledge the root problem, but we spend our tax money, time, and efforts reapplying bandaids and barriers at the border.

Hey, yankies. Tariffs only hurt the American people, not Trump. So, are the UNITED STATES OF TERRORISM gearing up to try and destroy yet another SOVEREIGN government? Like they have around the world and most recently in Ukraine. ????\nThe world is wise to you yanks now. YANKS, NO THANKS. STOP THE ISRAELI/ US OCCUPATION OF GAZA. FREE PALESTINE ????????????????????????

This is why Trump won. These people are truly mental. Why doesn't CNN do an interview live with a group of actual boarder agents on the frontline to allow them to express what they see everyday oh and ask them how many times the Biden administration made them stand down as they watched thousands enter illegally. I want that interview! Oh not to mention a momth ago biden administration sold huge piles of steel for literally pennies before Trump. Democrats claim to work for us and if that's true why are they going against these policies and trying to fight everything. The Democrats only like you if you vote for them. The American people have spoken Democrats! Listen and do your job.

Americans cant buy food.....they taxed to death to support the people were trying to support! Do some research and leaen how things work

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

It's not scary to have a trade embargo. Columbia? Idon't understand how they have a person on CNN trying to convince people that Latin American country is better than the United States. There is no Latin American country better than the United States.

Man that sucks, all the FINE Colombian women trying to migrate to the U.S., come on Mr. Trump, I’m a Passport Bro! I rather date Colombian Women than American Women.

Trump's ego is uncontrollably. He made no effort to work with Columbia at all. Not only has Columbia retaliated but more importantly trump has been seen trying to push a South American nation around instead of working any diplomacy. Not a good visual donald.

Just remember folks, President Trump does not care about the American people. President Trump is more focused on Greenland and Canada instead of fixing the high cost of inflation. Shame on you President Trump. You ran on fixing the economy. Not trying to acquire Greenland and Canada. Shame on you, President Trump what a waste of a vote.

I don't understand the point the Colombian president was trying to make. It doesn't matter what kind of planes are used to transport them, those people broke the law and their actions are costing American tax payers thousands of dollars. Why did it take tariffs for him to offer his own plane?

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

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

No country is going to negotiate with him!!! What an idiot!!! He is hurting Americans ?. So where are they going to do with all the people they're trying to deport if Mexico and Columbia are not allowing them to land???

American consumers pay the tariffs. The companies pay the import tax and then pass the cost to the consumer. Why do people try to manipulate and tell folks something different.

Hopefully this sets a standard for South American countries. If we’re gona do that over 2 planes imagine what we would do to Venezuela if they actually try to take PR

?sounds good. If americans try to go to any other country illegally, what happens to them??? go home if you are not legal.

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

LMAO what a clown. Get ready for more expensive coffee and anything else coming from Colombia.\nRemember, Columbia does not pay the tariff, WE DO. Every product that Americans use that contains\ncaffeine will now go up in price so that importers can recoup the tariff the AMERICAN company had\nto pay to import it. So, your Starbucks coffee will go up, ground coffee, instant coffee, energy drinks, etc.\nwill ALL GO UP IN PRICE.\n\nThe Orange Traitor sticking it to Americans once again. He grifted off of MAGA for years and they\nvoted him back in. He's constantly signing illegal and unconstitutional executive orders, all of which\nare or will be challenged in court. And now he begins his dumbass tariff wars to skyrocket prices and\ninflation in THIS country.\n\nHey MAGA, when are you going to figure out this criminal president doesn't give a f*** about you. He \ndoesn't need your vote anymore, and he's a lame duck president. He's gone insane trying to use \nbully tactics to enact his racist immigration ideas. He's destroying the immigrant workforce in \nAmerica. Gas prices up, food prices up. Inflation up already. Violence up already. THIS is what you\nvoted for.

Trump thinks him spitefully putting Tarifs on these countries because they aren’t bowing to to him . Trump i keep saying he doesn’t care for humanity he out of anger and him being a narcissist and no empathy behind doesn’t care if we the people are negatively affected. No but his supporters this is who they wanted. Y’all tried to hurt those Americans who are your color but you hurt your own selves.

Omg the media is reporting news! Except they have that nasty bias and negative vibe bc they have TDS stage 5! Just be honest snd report the facts no need for the negative spin. Americans voted for this. We are happy no matter how you try to spin it. So STOP!

These Liberal Pinheads keep pushing their BS . Tariffs don't affect USA Consumers . Most Countries around the World have had Tariffs against the USA for Decades on certain Goods . It's a Protectionist Tool to keep USA Goods out of their Countries . The EU has had Tariffs against USA Cars for Decades now . Trump has railed against that for Years . USA Consumers will buy what they want or can Afford . If Countries that are Tariffed try to Raise the Prices of their Tariffed Goods to bet aroud the USA Tariffs , Trump could either reject their Goods with Sanctions , OR American Comsumers just won't buy them simple as that . The USA doesnt need alot of Products from other Countries Really . Those Countries need the USA Market More so they will comply with USA Demands eventually
