Rules are rules and laws are laws . If New York wants to cater to those illegals. . I’m with President Trump to shut off N Y money so be it .

I don't think you're in NYC, I don't know a single person, w.e political side, that speaks positive of Addams. He allowed them in, he invited them in. Not because he's nice, but because he wanted to steal some funds for himself. He's scum, i don't want someone who uses their race as a get out of jail free card when confronted. Addams is bending over for the President, he could've done this YEARS AGO! \n\nAgain, I don't think your around actual New Yorker's, many are in favor for the deportation, but we also want the mayor gone.

the only ones wanting to help the migrants are NonProfit Organizations and their employees that are milking $ from the Govt. No more, Thank you President Trump!

Cash? You are causing the problem in New York. That's why New York is the way it is now. You say? New York is a sanctuary city. The immigrants are going to come. You are causing all those immigrants to come to New York and telling them that they will be taking care of and protected. You are causing New Yorker's to move out of their city that they love. You're the reason the Mayor of New York is pressured to step down. You're the reason people had to quit their city jobs. You are causing Soo many illegal immigrants to come to New York President Trump had to block them from coming. You won't stop telling illegal immigrants that New York is a sanctuary city. New York is terrible now. What more do you want Cash to happen to this city.

We're the worst country, we are wicked people, President Trump is a racist and the worst person in the world...yet everybody and their mother STILL wants to come here...\nMaybe its because the USA is the best country in the world with the best people and the most awesome President.

Personality you couldn't give me a new home or.a new condo for free last place on earth I would want to live you as Americans can thank your dictator president

With Trump running this country why would anyone want to even come here? I thought Canada was doing better at their borders as people I know going through their get such hassles. Weird. I only agree with one thing with this president not letting anyone here illegally, getting rid of the gangs and criminals and holding them accountable for their crimes.

I don't understand why any of the citizens of NYC would vote for this governer. Wake up people and remove her from office. Get ride of all those city coucils workers who want to make profit off of your lack of safety. What they are doing is pure evil. Even over here in upstate NY I feel unsafe going to the farmers market. I see a lot of foreign people getting aid to buy there. I don't know who they are or if they are good people. They could be dangerous criminals. Our past President just let everyone in. Pure evil! I want to see this governors funding removed and maybe some jail time. For sure loss of position.

Yeah!.. if it wasn’t for President Trump, our United States of America would be a Third World country in four years under Kamaltoe… it is despicable that these left states would take Americans taxpayer dollars to house, illegals and fancy hotels instead of taking care of our homeless, I want a refund for all my taxpayers that have been stolen and inappropriately disseminated

This womman applied and was granted a green card and followed the legal process to citizenship.\n\nShe is obviously law abiding and learned english because she truly wanted to assimilate to her new country. \n\nShe still sees herself as a hyphenated american but that's totally fine, because she wants to hold on to her mexican roots. \n\nShe is for what's right , and legal , and doesn't condone family members entering the United States illegally. \n\nAnd understands what President Trump is doing.

Here is a great irony. Cmdr. Shilling has served in the Navy for the last 20 years with honor and pride of country. I cannot see why the idiots in DC are making a big issue of her gender change. Does the fact that she is transgender make her any less of an officer and a pilot? And yet, President Trump (who never served one day in the military) feels that he is right in saying that transgender troops need to be medically discharged from active duty. If you want to see a nation that allows 100% of its population to serve in its military, just look at our friend Israel. Need I say more?

It says a lot about the mexican president when most mexican citizens wants to leave mexico

If Kamala would’ve been the president, this country would straight turn into a dump hole South American country real fast! That’s what the globalist dip shits want

If Kamala would’ve been the president, this country would straight turn into a dump hole South American country real fast! That’s what the globalist dip shits want

This is why Kamala wanted to be President. She knew this was going on

America went over to Venezuela and disrupted their economy and overthrew their president because the president at the time wanted to nationalize their oil reserves against American interest. America is reaping what it has sewn.

This mess is the fault of an incompetent president and his corrupt administration…. That administration used all those illegal aliens that’s all it was. They were using people they don’t give two squats about illegal aliens. They just wanted to cause chaos like Obama stated in one of his lectures if you want to destroy our society, you caused chaos.

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

After scrolling through all of those comments I saw everyone said that they were criminals so that they should be treated as criminals, well the PAB-trump is also a convicted FELON and he was never handcuffed or put in shackles. Instead his flotus elon paid so he could become the wannabe president and also his deplorable supporters couldn't see him going to jail and sooner or later they're gonna realize that their vote is gonna mess with their livelihood too. For me if they wanted to vote for him that was okay as long as what he wanted to do would only affect them, but of course not it affects the rest of us too and that's what pisses me off.

What is it about a criminal President wanting to imprison everyone he think is illegal .He should be in acell to.

Can you blame them. The previous administration offered a premium benefits package to any and everyone who wanted it. It was a literal freeforall. Now that a non globalist, non(I'm just going to say it)ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT administration is handling the border of the US, these people are stunned. They are pissed off that the free ride is over. Chances are, President Trump would love nothing more than to do business with the countries sending these people. He would love to make deals that would strengthen their economy, give people a reason to live there. Maybe these leaders should bring something to the table other than droves of their own citizens complaining about how bad the situation has become in their home countries. We've already got enough of those here as it is. Sorry.

We have had immigrants at our borders before. Don’t believe Felon president’s mass hysteria. I live in Texas. We’ve always deported illegals when caught and they are frequently deported. We have had border patrol and a wall for decades and decades . We have the military if necessary. Mexico has police on their side. \n\nThe felon just wants you to be distracted by this while he chips away at our democracy. \n\nThe real danger is the convicted Felon in the White House who broke our laws and thinks he is above the law!!!! Also that crazy billionaire who is collecting our data from the treasury. That’s not okay! He should be sued by the American people! I do not consent to Elon musk having access to any of my info!

If democrats dropped the trans agenda they would have won and trump wouldn’t be president.\n\nAnd the issue is whether men can become women. The answer is no. Identify how you want but sex and gender are different and this issue split the Democrat vote

Why treated as criminals? They only want a better life for their future, and U.S. allowed them before to work, Barack Obama, Biden are a compassionate president they never did this, they can relate life is hard for migrant workers so they allowed them to work, study, truly a racist president Trump he's ruthless, stern no compassion only for his rich gains and rich friends, cruel

If i wanted to go to any of their countries, id have to enter legally,it's the same in America now that we have a president that is not a vegetable !

If i wanted to go to any of their countries, id have to enter legally,it's the same in America now that we have a president that is not a vegetable !

Deport deport deport yes that’s what a majority of us Americans want ……… thank you president trump ????????????

The US wants to stop illegal immigration and the importation of drugs from Mexico.\nMexico does not care at all. (For decades)\nNow, a *US President with balls* , acting for his country, is doing something! \nThe same goes for China, which is the main chemical drug producer (Fentanyl) exporting to the USA.\nWhy blame a President who acts for his country?

First, the US sanctions Venezuela because they don't like their president. (Talk about election interference done subtly). Due to this, their economy collapses because being a small country in the American continent, they are way too dependent on the US for their import exports.\nA bad economy makes crimes sky rocket in Venezuela, due to which every family that cares for their children, want to leave and come to a safe nation like the US, where they are denied entry.

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games.

(Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

President Trump is acting on what the majority of America want. \nWe didn't have this transgender nonsense until the woke left hijacked America!\nI'm so proud that President Trump has the guts to end this abomination!\nI can't wait until CNN goes bankrupt!\nCNN will end!

By no means do any of them deserve to force their way into our country! This is what the democrats wanted to happen ! And they will blame it all on president Trump! They caused it to happen!

I hope Canada realizes the American public may have voted for the president by a margin of votes but not all Americans support the tarrifs nor are the tarrifs on Mexico wanted.

The best thing Trump has done for Africa is to frreze the Aid and return the illegal migrant even he wants he can return all the african . This can help the puppet irresponsible president to think. Trump and his NATO allies must think of removing their military basesfrom africa .\nTrump and his family including all the cau asian must be deported too America belongs to the native American Yes or No ?

I stand behind my President. If Trump wants to make his point, I trust him to do the right thing. I will gladly pay whatever cost that comes with that point he is making.

Fentanyl, Madame President, All ears in the US to hear how we would address the flood of Fentanyl across our southern border. Mexico is corrupt, Cartels are more powerful than the government and military. Madame President doesn't want to Expire to soon by saying anything against the Cartels.

Anti-Trump is Pro-American. This corrupt president is against the people. Tariffs combined with his other tax cuts are a plot to shift more tax burden off his oligarch cronies and onto the poor and middle class despite the out-of-control wealth inequality destroying our democracy. Don't forget that he never closed tax loopholes (carried interest for example) exploited by the rich like he promised. He wants to distract while he robs and enslaves us. It is sad that it has come to this. I just ask the allies of the American people to please look for ways to specifically punish the oligarchs and politicians responsible rather than the many American people who are on your side.

Don’t let black women become presidents, Kamala deliberately made a fool of herself on tv while she knew the whole time trump was going to become president again, she was racist and sexist a few times on tv, she insulted black people herself by saying they don’t know what computers are, shes a fool.\nWhite women are far more educated then black women, I’m ok with having Barack Obama again but he’s not running again, so thats that, we don’t have any black men running for president anymore atm, if anything, we cannot let black women become president though, Hillary Clinton is anything else although but eligible to be our leader as shes evil, she wouldn’t take care of American’s, she would’ve only made Putin want to attack America so she’d not have control at all she’d be instead leading us to our deaths.\nAny other white woman but her otherwise mu suffice with being president next, but theres a lot of work needed to clear up atm anyways, with trump coming back once again, we can’t help it now, its to late to go back tk wanting Biden again as we can’t turn out trump for biden since trump won again, so thats just the game we’re playing here atm, we just can’t.

The best decision ever made by a President. Go back to your own country. We don’t need you here if you don’t want to be legal.

I’m glad we have a president that’s actually doing something about this. My parents cam here legally busted their butts off working minimum wage to make a better life for our family. If you want to come here do it legally!!!

They can cry and whine all they want trying to get forgiveness from us. No pity no forgiveness, we voted for this change thank God for the president of strength.

Seems like we would want to anyone who wants to serve their country. Unlike the current president who did NOT want to serve his country. And DEI and all of the other MAGA boogeyman concerns are miniscule. They are making a mountain out of molehill.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins looks also as transgender. so, two transgenders who disagree with the president of the U.S. (as well as Commander-in-Chief). the tail wants to wag the dog?How will this end? Nothing good for sure.?

I hope Columbia will ban everything from coming into their country from the United States. And Columbia should not allow anything to come in from their country from the United States. Trump will take this country broke and he will put this country into another depression . Thank MAGA for putting this idiot back into the United States . Expect all prices to go up because other countries will put their own Tariffs on the United States just because Trump is a idiot and will always be a idiot. What a ass hole we have as a President if you want to call this ass hole Trump a President.

Thank you president trump for protecting the USA and its people from those 10 years ago on lists of mentally challenged disturbed unfit individuals who think being a woman or being a man is a feeling a costume you can wear and force others to participate in the delusion the democrats lost the elections and somehow want the newly elected president to implement their agenda ITS OVER respect the voters you lost will the media stop the propaganda

Is he currently active? He can not, by law, undermine the president. He sits there, in violation of his oath, and he expects to continue to serve. He wants the navy to serve him.

Why do people care if they want to serve give everyone the chance it is patriotism more than what can be said of the current president who never served in the military

Promises made, promises kept. Thank you President Trump. America wants its country back.

I served 4 years during the Vietnam War. And when anybody wants to serve, in light of the fact that very few American men want to serve, I say more power to them. American men are just a bunch of pansies. And that includes the president.

The Trump administration is trying to pass a bill through congress to stop this migration but now some Republicans as well as Democrats are trying to water down this bill for it to say state and local law enforcement have no authority to stop this. And worse at a later date immigrants can come back? Worse these tradors working for our government want to Rubber Stamp this bill in the Presidents name if it passes. Do Not say yes to this crooked bill.
