A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

I always come to CNN to see libs cry

Canadians are pretty surface level, the venom they maintain in their hearts for Americans is coming out for all to see.

I see a 50 tariff coming real soon ?????

Bring out the pop corn. Interesting to see who comes on top!!!

Trump must be trembling with the new counter tariffs - he ddin't see that coming right..?

how dead do your brain cells have to be to think that doing something like this will immediately solve the problem. If there wasn't a demand there wouldnt be anyone trying to fill the demand. Purdue Pharma also helped create the demand by pushing highly addictive opioid drugs and lying about it to people. Those people they hooked didn't suddenly disappear. It created a chain that we are still seeing today. They would rather put a bandage on the bleeding wound than cough up the money and the actual will to start solving the crisis that is driving people into drugs. Like lack of affordable housing, once people lose that safety and are on the street drugs end up providing a relief from their situation. Lack of any meaningful mental health care, or any health care at all. There are underlying things that aren't getting solved, people will always find new ways to find or make drugs whether those drugs come from other countries or just created inside the US.

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

It’s wild all I see is democrats wanting to leave America and for some reason all these people want to come in. Is America horrible or the best place in the world?

A large number of people have been coming into this country for a long time. This should have happened a very long time ago. You see illegal immigrants every day, but you don't know who is who.

I am for this deportation 1000%. See brampton, this city turn into indian all where you turn its indian in jpbs, gas station all commercial paces all in banks. Damn! All over is indians and middle east people. That is madeness. How are all these people coming into canada so easily and black people trying to come here is a hard situation. They need to send back all these indian people too many in canada

Several thousand service members he wants to eject. You're seeing the stupidity of bigotry. It's highlighted in a lot of these comments. Most transphobia coming from sacks of meat who don't have the balls to serve themselves. Lmao

Our sons and daughters spilt their blood to raise this country up. I don’t see them banding together dying for their country, and if they come into ours ILLEGALLY disrespecting our country, then they certainly aren’t the type to DIE for it either!

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

They want to come to America and spray paint graffiti and wave their flags and speak their own language... You see how Poland is going.. A war will be here soon. Bunch of freeloaders. USA government bends for them. 1950s there was 86% White race. Look at American now. The USA government gives money to the poor and they multiply while the people who have to work do not have big families.

They should put a mine field up. Then let’s see them try and come over

Those who are constantly adding strain to the U.S. economy, jobs, infrastructure, schools, social security, civil workers, health care, resources, water, power, energy, and crime. I can't imagine how many federal judges and fellow legal representatives America needs to hire for everyone of these illegals. \nSecondly, they must respect the country, is no country on earth with such open boarder policy. Then, the result as you see, 20% of Americans are homeless, living under harsh means. No one can afford Marriage no more. Housing is nearly about half a million dollar for just a house. Food is hell high!!! Stop it right now. Turn back and move on where you came from. And never come back!

Canadians have been dealing with the exact same issues these immigrants are dealing with, but nobody cared. Suddenly we bring in 5 million people on top and think it’ll work? Now Canadians are seeing immigrants complain about the lives we were already living and struggling with. They are complaining about how we have to live while choosing to come here and make it harder for all of us. They are literally just living a life as a normal Canadian and seeing it’s not fun and complaining. Canadians are silenced lately and can’t call it out due to people thinking immigration and race and culture are all more important than living lives that we can help others and ourselves first

This brings so much joy to see all these would b illegals throwing adult temper tantrums becuz they cannot enter my country Illegally n collect a free financial ride. They r swarming n panicking like a bunch of rats they r. Trump warned them not to come n now they must turn around and come back the right way. Look at the way they r carrying on. Are these the type of people u want in our country

Love seeing people on here who didn’t speak English. Yeah you guys come here illegally and don’t bother speaking the language? It’s honestly laughable that they’re complaining

Each must give an account of himself to God. He has given us His law as a mirror into which we may look and discover the defects in our characters. We are not to look into this mirror for the purpose of seeing our neighbor’s faults reflected, of watching to see if he comes up to the standard, but to see the defects in ourselves, that we may remove them.\n\n\nAmend your ways and your doings Jer 7:3 read the Great Controversy book by EGW

But when the come here all they do is talk about Mexico and wave their damn Mexican flags and tell us how this is their land. Look at them crying now!! Your free ride is over!! If you love your country that much why are you fleeing it to come here?I have yet to see a Mexican wave the American flag and learn to speak English and assimilate to AMERICAN culture! Time to go back home now!

According to Biden, Harris and the entire Democrat Party, \nwe are a racist white supremacy patriarchy fascist country ?\n\nYet, all these people of color are demanding and begging to come in. ?\n\nLiar ? (Biden) liar ? (Harris)\nLIARS ?? (Democrats) \npants on fire ? \n\nThe United States of America ?? \nis an amazing country and the whole world knows it. \n\nI never see ?\nMILLIONS and MILLIONS of people voluntarily trying to get into Mexico, Central America, South America, Africa, Russia, \nMiddle East, China, Japan, etc.,

Why are you coming here there is no hope here for future see house price when will a new landing immigrant be sble to buy a house

They will be deported then NOT allowed back in. They will make the legal route too hard. This is easy to see coming.

The shame falls on any anyone who voted for Joe Biden. You could see this coming long before that election.

The younger generations see war as a wasteful destructive endeavour. There really is NO reason in this day and age for wars to even exist. It comes down to crappy men, deluded by power, who are desperate to leave some mark on the world. It’s stupid, it’s wasteful, and against everything a Christian is supposed to stand against according to their faith. THOU SHALL NOT KILL. The second you break that one, you don’t get to go to heaven, ever.

What to do To be saved \nRomans 10:9-13\n9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.\n11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.\n12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.\n13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.\nJohn 3:5\n“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”\nJohn 3:16-17\n16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. \n17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\nJohn 9:31\n31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.\nActs 8:36-37\n36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? \n37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.\nActs 15:7-11\n7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. \n8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; \n9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. \n10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?\n11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.\nActs 16:31\n“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” \n1 John 1:9 \n9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.\n1 John 5:6,8\n6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. \n8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.\nRomans 6:23\n23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\nJude 1:23-25\n23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.\n24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,\n25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.\nRevelation 3:20\n“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” \n\n@jesuschristsaves392\n?“Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen\n\nWedding clothes\nhttps://youtu.be/f2Yx6PDBIpU?si=lLjrNdk-mgj1gfXf

It seems to me all the resistance and cruelty to transgender people comes from a lack of grit and ability to see and acknowledge difference. It's not strength to reject difference, it's weakness. It's simply people chosing to judge something they do not want to understand. And what's sad, is this movement is threatening to turn back the cultural clock to a time where fundamentalism and black and white thinking rules -its sad times indeed. I'm a veteran btw.

When it comes to United States, they can get away with a lot of stuff and some people come to United States illegally but do right and then some people come to United States and do to United States and event benefits that American people should have. This is sad to see everybody deserve a chance at life, but that’s their countryshould be doing better towards them. We are all human beings and deserve a chance at the decent and for Black people we went through torture, but we didn’t ask to come over here. They brought us.

I love immigrants as my parents are LEGAL immigrants that came here legally. I see every single person dressed so swell that I thought this was at some concert until the camera pannes out. Im sure they heard of all the FREE STUFF during Biden's open borders which is why every single one of them want to come here.

Your seeing this because the last administration let the 3rd world countrys know come on in knowing trump was getting elected in 2024 so this would happen when trump gets into office

Wow Trump isletting us see the truth finally.mow maybe more Americans with Wakeup! Just look and hear them.look what \n JOE Biden' cabin has done to (these) people just think they were stull coming y'all. Thos is fear.....?

I live north of El Paso, due north in New Mexico. Don’t kid yourself, this crowd will get much worse. I live in a big town and you used to stop at a traffic light and they tried busting your window to grab your purse. Then, it was under Biden, they finally moved them into shelters, hotels, churches and paid them money (on debit cards) and gave them free medical care along with their free housing.\nEven then one young guy took his revolver in to rob the waitresses of their tips as a pizza place was closing. The owner came out to see what was happening. The guy shot him point blank 9 times. He was arrested but we never knew what happened. In this blue state, I doubt he is even in jail now. Do you really think that those coming in don’t expect all the hand outs? We can’t just keep being so nice, there is going to have to be physical consequences.

They'll get off the plane, and go right back to the US and try again. \nIn fact. MORE will now attempt it seeing that if they get caught, they'll simply get a free plane ride home. \nHell, if I was one of them, I'd be doing it as well!! This is good news for illegals. \nAnd just look at the number of people in here supporting this ridiculous strategy from Trump. \nLol, you idiots are dumb as dirt to think this will help stop illegals coming into your country. \nIt's going to INCREASE it. And it will cost you millions every year without end. \nLive and never learn.

People can start coming now...because they see me as the friendly one...joe biden Jan 2021

Why are we protecting every other country's border but not our own. Why are you seeing this LMAO because Biden allowed this. Thank God Trump won. Biden said he couldn't do anything but Trump did the first day. These people infuriate me, you ask to come not demand it. Try do that in their country. This is going to stop thank God for President Trump. ? To you illegal immigrants.

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

What do you expect, when you see Indians going abroad on tourist visa, and then overstaying and doing cheap labour. Indian tourists go to developed countries with zero civic sense, complete ignorance of the local culture and norms, the people there will obviously feel disgusted, 5th largest economy my ass. Look at the gdp per capita dear Palki. Nationalistic pride is good, but when you have nothing to show for it, empty pride doesn’t get you anywhere. Most people try to go in as tourists and never come back, then how do you expect them to give visas to Indians.

Watching from Finland ??and its refreshing to see America be sensible again. CNN is still pressing the leftist angle in their news, even though it looks like it will be bad for business in the coming years.

Coming to see the comments, this is the closest I've come to watching CNN in years!

Everywhere I See indian how come they are everywhere

All you have to do is come to CNN comments to see how many Americans had America.

Also, Chairman World Human Rights Organization. The subject is a request to see the human rights violations in Bangladesh from 5th August 2024 till now and take necessary measures. Mr. Sabinoy, I request that the amount of human rights violations committed by Dr. Mohammad Yunus government and his colleagues from last 5th August 2024 till now, there is enough doubt whether it has happened in any civilized country of the world or not. Therefore, I request you to come to Bangladesh and take necessary measures.

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.

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

The only way they can see if they are Columbian citizens is to let the plane land. Then its too late to turn them back. Comes down whether you trust the US. Personally I don't. Trust is important. Sorry you guys cant see it.

Wait. He didn't see this coming?\nPresident Wile E, Coyote

We're seeing it because they think they're entitled to come on in uninvited.
