More BS from a supposedly neutral balanced media outlet. At least when the CBC have a panel they have one from each party. Here are the facts.
The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab is the current Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. She was appointed to the role in May 2025 by Prime Minister Mark Carney following the April 2025 federal election.
Her current activity is defined by a shift toward more restrictive and "talent-focused" policies. Here is the technical breakdown of her recent initiatives:
1. 2026 Express Entry Overhaul
On February 18, 2026, Diab announced significant adjustments to the Express Entry system. The primary objective is to transition from broad intake to "sustainable levels" while addressing specific labor gaps.
* New Categories: Streams were added for researchers, senior managers, transport occupations (pilots/mechanics), and foreign military personnel recruited by the Canadian Armed Forces.
* Medical Priority: A specific category was introduced for foreign medical doctors already possessing Canadian work experience.
* Tightened Requirements: She doubled the category-specific work experience requirement from 6 months to 12 months. This move is designed to narrow the candidate pool and prioritize those with deeper integration into the Canadian labor market.
2. Legislative Reform (Bill C-12)
Diab is currently championing a major immigration and border security bill (C-12), which is moving through its third reading in the Senate as of February 26, 2026.
* Executive Power: The bill grants the Governor in Council (acting on cabinet advice) broad authority to vary, cancel, or suspend immigration documents and applications in the "public interest."
* Asylum Restrictions: Diab has been vocal about curbing what she terms "fraudulent" claims. The legislation proposes making anyone who has been in Canada for over a year ineligible to claim asylum, and it restricts claims from those entering via land borders outside official ports of entry.
3. Shift in Strategy
The Minister’s rhetoric marks a pivot from previous Liberal administrations. Her current messaging focuses on "taking back control" of immigration levels. While she continues to promote the recruitment of "the best and brightest," she has explicitly stated the government's goal is to reduce the total annual number of both permanent and temporary residents.
Summary Table
| Focus Area | Recent Action |
|---|---|
| Express Entry | Increased experience threshold to 12 months; added military/researcher streams. |
| Asylum Policy | Supporting Bill C-12 to restrict claims made after 1 year of residency. |
| Staffing | Recently appointed Isaac MacDonald (former P.E.I. Liberal executive) as Director of Parliamentary Affairs.

Tyler, hi from Russia. I'm using a VPN to watch your video, but soon I won't even have that option. They're promising to shut down the internet in Russia on March 1st. Our government is doing it. We're already cut off from half the world. It's scary to live in Russia. We used to have peace, but now our country is restricting us. Goodbye, Tyler. 😢❤
Тайлер, привет из России, я сижу на vpn что бы увидеть твой ролик, но скоро у меня не будет даже такой возможности с 1 марта в России обещают отключить интернет, это делает наше государство, мы уже отрезаны от половины мира, (многое я не могу говорить) в России страшно жить, когда то у нас было спокойно, но теперь нас ограничевает наша страна, прощай Тайлер😢❤

Tyler, did you really have to make this video??? Isn't there enough hate in the world already? Seriously dont eat butter chicken anymore if you dislike the culture/people so much. You've no idea how much will power it takes for those indians to come to places like north america to earn money and give their family back home the lives they never had. It takes so much to be someone, especially if youre coming from a place where youre just one ordinary human among 1 billion others. People can hate all the want but its a free world. Territories came after humans.

As a indian my self i found saying "proud canadian " from a indian is really weird cringy they are not even inviting you and all of they just tryn hard to associate with them either make india better or live here there is no need to move out
HIndus are already started birthcontrols
being aware is just all we need thats it
i think whites or native people are right because no one likes sudden changes !!
I am also capable of moving out but i will not i think i can do something better here i can make my community better .
Indians also have this some kind of invisible competetion between there extended fam. or neighbourhood which is the one of the shittiest reason of indian leaving india they think washing dishes is better then a business or farmer here .
I know we have multiple problems but leaving them would not give any solution to them ,we are actually growing it takes time to be like any europian country but im sure we should not have to like them we can be better in our own we are not in a race of living better all we have to do is making our living standards better
Rule No 1
Never make more than 2 children
Dont do something uncivilied thing in front of them
We are really good in cleaning our houses but focus on streets too( ofc this is not for all many of us are actually doing this)
Dont give shit about politics too much your control should be in your hands
Practice religion very well , Dont cutt off from roots
Dont beileve in pathetic rituals Rivers are water sources respecting them means keep them clean as possible thats all
Work on esthetics of your streets
try to make your house lil similar to all
and dont think of job either you can make jobs
THATS ALL.
In this case like if we say we dont want to tolerate illegal bangladeshis same as they NO nation wants too much people from a particular country it obviously feels like invaded
Anyhow To all white people reading this May be you can found us problematic in some way but most indian are really sweet and kind by heart .

I was not raised to be racist but at 67 and my family has been in Canada since 1536 , I can now say that I am racist. I do not agree with melding pot beliefs. the people being brought in to my country are NOT TRYING TO MERGE OR ADAPT “OUR” way of life.
Better Rules for coming to this Country need to be implemented.
like No banking outside of our banking system. no owning property until they have been in Canada for 15 years and have proven that they Support Canada not the country they Left and didn’t bother to try and work on.
Dictator or Religious fighting needs to be addressed by THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY.
Maybe take some Taxes from the 1% and have them give support to the starving countries instead of the struggling people having to struggle more because of slack immigration laws. ENOUGH ALREADY. I am tired of being scammed by people with no morals towards others humans .

1) Canadian politicians are running a Ponzi scheme - just keep bringing in more foreigners to pay for everybody else they already brought in
2) This immigration game was started after DeGaulle sparked Quebec separatism, and neither Ottawa nor Washington knew how to deal with this, other than to mass-import lots of foreigners in order to dilute the Anglo-French divide that was quickly turning toxic. Washington was not going to allow a new country to form on its northern frontier, potentially creating a new geopolitical fault line which could be exploited by the Soviet bloc. Therefore all the stops would be pulled out to rearrange the demographics of the suddenly fragile Canada.
3) This immigration game is just a human trafficking operation. Canada itself has been reduced to a human trafficking operation, originally to counter Quebec separatism, and then later the politicians just plain got addicted to importing new voters, rather than solving the problems of existing voters through good governance.
4) We're all up the creek without a paddle. Neither do I have any solutions to the current mess, nor do the people who made this video have any solutions. It's now like the weather - we can complain about it, but can't change it. Maybe Trump can solve it by breaking up Canada and turning pieces of it into new American states. I know - it's blasphemy - but...
5) *_I too am of Indian heritage,_* and have been a Canadian for over half a century.

canadians and her multicultural ways simply can not compete against india, africa, south asia and various latin american countries because of 1 thing - birth rates.
and when i say the canadian way and what 'used' to be a balanced multicultural way of life - is now being completely replaced by, majority led, india and a select handful of a few other nations - philippines, nigeria, bangladesh and some middle eastern nations.
most of these nations - minus the philippines - have very different values and laws from the west. gender inequality, caste systems and not to mention religious / secular conflicts. racism is also incredible in those nations - again, minus the philippines. the only reason i include the philippines on this list as well is because their numbers are also very high in terms of the recent immigration scams but still not as high as india - who by large is the biggest scammer by a mile.
these nations export canadian capital to their home nations and recycle the cash and bring in more of their own people. it is blatant soft power take over of canada without firing a single shot.
canadians need to wake up and bring back balanced immigration. i will never accept sharia law, caste systems of gender inequality in canada but it is already here and their population is hundreds to thousands of times more than canada and they are already establishing incredibly strong roots here.

1. It's not just a right, rather it's a GOD given right. 2. The Government is not just selling the country out, rather, they already sold the country out.

Stop!! This is propaganda! Canada was asked back in 2016 to spend 5% on their defense spending and they are still at 1%. Also, Canada already charges us 25% tariffs. \nTrump wants fair trade and Canada to step up defense. They have let some of the top terrorists through to the United States.\nWe also aid Canada with money each month.\nTrudeau is a liar and a performer who stiffs his own people with some of the highest taxes.

This Old-Senile-Demented-47-criminal wants to start World War 3. Oh yes 47 is a jerk idiot, that’s why I’m supporting Canada. ???.Trudea wants to save life,but this American Con-artist wants to destroy life to keep his money ( read what the holy scripture said about the love of money ) money and power. I hope you Americans are happy. If you want soldiers to go and kill other mother’s children for this despicable criminal, not my friends, families or fellow Christian. If y’all want slaves , you voted for this criminal, so you go slave for him (47). I’m already mourning for those innocent who will get killed. Read : 1 Timothy 6:10 and Matthew 26:14,15. Like I said, you Trash-republicans and maga morons created this con artist, you take care of this mess. As for me I support Canada and all those other countries that this American Con Artist tried to Bully At?????

I still can’t for the life of me understand why we went through a version of this once already and somebody here still keeps wanting more. Why? Why keep aligning with a “President” who seems hellbent on revenge and throwing us all overboard unless you’re at least a millionaire? The kinds of people placed in control right now are the very ones we all have been and should be fighting against still! Rich people have no interest in the issues and problems facing anybody with a net value of less than $1,000,000. We are just pawns for them to use in their pursuit of further wealth!

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

I saw recently where Trump said exactly why he's doing this, he said he has to in order to pay for the tax breaks he wants to extend to the wealthy 1 %, that's the real reason, I already knew what he was up when he started down this road. Fact check me, it's out there somewhere. MAGIT (More Allies Got Indicted Today) will be held accountable along with Trump when the Lord our GOD deals with this.

Even before now less than 1% of fentanyl came across the Canadian border. Canada has had a trade imbalance with us in our favor. Canada last year had already agreed to beef up border security by $1.3 billion. Canadian troops have fought alongside US troops in several wars. As recently as a few weeks ago Canadian firefighters were helping put out fires in the US. Dumbest tariffs doesn't begin to describe it.

COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Trump is sending busloads of illegal immigrants from NYC and dropping them off at the Canadian border because that's cheaper than legally deporting them. This clown has them going the wrong way. They are counting the illegal immigrants Canada caught and is sending back to NYC by bus. MAGA idiots trying to make Trump the Frump look good.\nWhat these American geniuses should be looking at is:\nD. J. Trump has been a valuable asset to the Russian services for 40 years?\n\nAccording to former Soviet agent Yuri Shewrew, who moved to the U.S. in 1993 and obtained U.S. citizenship, Donald Trump was classified by the KGB as valuable services for forty years. Szłowie, former KGB Major, is currently one of the most important sources in Craig Unger’s book. “The American Comsar.” In addition to this thread, the book examines the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a U.S. financier, who died in 2019.\n\nUnger claims that Trump first interested the Russians in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. At that time, he became the target of a spy operation supervised by Czechoslovak intelligence in cooperation with the KGB. Three years later, when Trump opened his first major Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City, he bought 200 TVs from Siemon Kislin, a Soviet immigrant who co-owner of the electronic company Joy-People at Fifth Avenue. According to Szedema, Joy-People was controlled by the KGB, and Kislin worked as her agent and selected Trump, a young, growing businessman, as a potentially valuable intelligence.\n\nWhen in 1987. Trump and his wife visited Moscow and Leningrad for the first time, the future president held many business meetings, including KGB officers. According to the Sędzim, Russian officials who perfectly identified the narcissism of the interlocutor and his psychological and intellectual weaknesses led a real “offensive of charm”, flattered him and emphasized that his personality made a huge impression on them. They suggested that such a man should deal with politics, that only people like him can change the world. According to Szbla and Unger, Trump was the perfect target for recruitment in many ways, especially because of vanity and narcissism.\n\nTrump almost immediately “entered” a new role, i.e. “joyfully parroted anti-Western propaganda.” Shortly after his return to the United States, he began his efforts among the Republicans to nominate for his candidacy for president, and even organized an election rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On September 1, 1987, he published a full-page ad-icing in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, in which, among other things, he accused the Alliance of the U.S. and expressing his skeleticism to the U. According to Trump, America should stop paying to defend countries that can defend themselves. Such actions caused real euphoria in the USSR. Trump has already made the same the same theses as president.\n\nTrump's victory in the 2016 election. The Russians accepted with satisfaction. Special investigator Robert Mueller did not detect a conspiracy between members of the Trump staff and the Russians, but revealed at least 272 contacts and 38 meetings with people linked to Russia. The storm told The Guardian that he was disappointed with the investigation because there were no counterintelligence aspects of Trump’s relations with Moscow. According to Unger, Trump was definitely an asset to the Russian services, and his book “will start where Mueller ended.”\n\nSource: The Guardian of 29.01.2021.\n\nMelanija Knavs [now Melania Trump] was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970. Her father Viktor Knavs first worked as a chauffeur, and he eventually sold car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, the national communist party.\n\nWhy do you think Trump is so anti-Ukraine? Putin also has sex tapes showing Trump with adolescent girls in Russia, and Trump also owes Putin billions of dollars.

1. Britishers belonged to Britain yet they captured america, killed natives and put a name Canada.\n2. The same British invaded already oppressed Indians for centuries and looted our country.\n3. Due to colonialism we learned English and now trying to overcome our poverty (created by British) by finding opportunity and living peacefully.\n4. You should be rather happy that Indians are living here. Not cruel and terrorising muslims. They have option to go back to homeland given oppression.\n5. As an Indian i will never live elsewhere only if i had to feed my family then might else never! So be grateful and remember your past!

I wish it was the 1 million Indians who steal Billions from Americans (and others) using online scams who were in shackles, but unfortunately those Indians are already in India, and they're sponsored by the Indian government. 100 Criminal Indians exported, unfortunately, makes little impact when their government is sponsoring their crimes and they can do their crimes from India. You're basically just changing their base of operations to their own country. No one should be too upset, as the Indian government is so corrupt they'll be walking the streets in freedom in India, as they love their criminals that make money for them by stealing from other countries' citizens.

not good,these will translate to ,revenge on Americans later.
\nwhy would they do that?they are already inside a plane, just free them in the plane,no need to be escorted. just let their arrival country,receive them,without those cuffs or shackles,there will be revenge back to Americans in Indian prisons,and might do the same in counter revengeand Americans overseas will never be safe.its like we are making another september 11 , or making more people becomes terrorists to Americans, there are more than 1 billion Indians around the world. its like Americas is expoinentiating haters or terrorists,its ok if they would just do it to Trump, but i doubt it, peaceloving Americans abroad are on the risk of revengeso my best advise is stop doing this way,just deport them the right way, send them without those shackles , and cuffs,its not neccessary.

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

\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“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.

\nClaudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s president, said her government will provide more details on the retaliatory tariffs she ordered on US goods on Monday. 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.

\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.

\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.

If you have watched for the past 4 years this is how they did it. They let all the thugs and military style men and the prisoners from other country's in . Not to many family's came usual singles in groups dragging children through the gap.few women they rated and tortured the girls and little boys. Now these people are coming in massive amounts. 1 million was on back log already approved just had to get an appointment date. It was cut off from these ppl and they are mad because they gave up or sold everything based on Joe Biden And Kamala lies and treason selling out our country to the UN. The UN gave these ppl thousands to come .single men were told they were going to be soldiers when they got here. But UN stop reloading their visa cards with so much money. It gives on and on. Trust they will continue to take over. American best wake up and stop letting the communist Marxist Democrat devide us. Jeffries said today they will take the fight to the street. AOCdid too last week in a post on X. Do you think any of those rich democrats going to help.DjT gave 24 million to help hurricane victims on the coast. Nancy P has 300million do you think she would give 25.million to Cali. Heck no. Her and Newsom ripped billions off. Only Jesus Christ ?.

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........

A disaster from day 1 is no surprise. The Trumpet executive ordered the halt of railroad project funds on his first day in, subverting our democracy. Those funds had already been approved and allocated by Congress. That is not the purpose of executive order to serve the interests of your petroleum company buddies or for over-ruling Congress with a defacto retro veto.\n\nTo be Constitutional, executive orders have to be within presidential jurisdiction. For example, while a president cannot force Congress to de-illegalize cannabis at the federal level, the president could executive order (has far more weight than an instruction or directive that might be defied) that DEA, ATF, DOJ, FBI, and any other agency under executive department (i.e. the office of the president) jurisdiction to not participate in investigation or prosecution of any person or persons solely on grounds of violating federal and state cannabis restrictions but are to maintain a priority focus on investigation and prosecution of the manufacture, distribution, and sale of toxic narcotics and other aspects of organized crime.\n\nGot notice last week of $20 per month food stamp reduction (per person in the household!) in February that is second cut this year and IT'S STILL JANUARY!\n\nReducing food stamps while food prices are still rising is a purposeful plan to increase crime.\n\nDisaster from day 1.

And this is exactly what's happening!!! Bible prophecy verses Donald Trump is a wild task to research when you realize the truth.. 5? the Jews have already prepared everything for the 3rd temple to be built .. the bible tells you how to make everything the temple needs.. they have already made the curtains and benches and tables and alters and priest clothing and they already have the red cow heffer ready for the 3rd temple sacrefice.. people don't realize that the muslims knew the red heffer sacrifice was coming and they knew the Jews would try to take over the temple mount so that's exactly what causes Hamas to attack isreal.. this is t just some weird rivalry.. this was biblical ❗ the muslims tried to stop the red heffer sacrifices but I believe those sacrifices was already done ❗❗ that's why u don't hear about those red heffer anymore.. they had a time limit on that red heffer sacrefice.. they would have neverrrrr missed that chance that they been waiting 2000 or 3000 years for❗ they said trump is leading them to the red temple rebuild they call him king Cyrus ❗ they also already made the temple coins..they already put trump's face on their new temple coins.. google it !!! Do research ❗6? trump was given the crown of Jerusalem in 2023 look it up on YouTube or Google it he's live one stage7?trump was given the Jewish menorah with a plate that said king of peace on it in 2024 google it or YouTube it he's live on stage accepting it8 ? ? trump made a DNA manipulating vaccine the fallen angels did the same they changed DNA in Noah's days and God sent the flood Jesus had to cover us with his blood DNA cuz of corruption and sin9?the bible speaks about a priest that puts blood on his ear thumb and foot as a ritual & its same thing trump did when he was shot MAGA IS THE NAME GIVEN TO THE HIGHEST PRIEST IN SATAN WORSHIP??10? Listen to English translations of Hilters speeches he talks about making Germany Great, his speeches were very inspiring, this is wat the bible says, AntiChrist will rise speaking GREAT THINGS ❗11?Elon is who makes the beast system he accompanies the ANTICHRIST Elon said perhaps AI is the new God now and laughed like Noah's days with fallen angels who brought technology to earth to deceive12?aliens are fallen angels they was swept into the ocean in Noah's flood. this is why they are coming out of the ocean. they are shapeshifters they can look like a flying moose if they saw fit13? they are shapeshifters they are demons they are known as frog like beings in the bible fallen one Satan shapeshifted in garden of Eden as a snake.. this is how they decieved the world14?seek Jesus Believe have faith that is unmovable!! .. no vax.. no chips in hand arm or forehead.. no government tattoos or marks of the beast.. IN JESUS CHRIST NAME HAVE SUPERNATURAL FAITH ?I've seen 3 dif kind of cancer in one person's body healed at once I've seen 2 blood clots disappear on mriI've seen someone on their death bed be fully restored.. there's nothing God can't do ❗❗❗ I've had God send angels in times of need..

They would lose LOTS of business as US buys a ton but we also produces it’s our own. Why they already backed down in under 1 hour. \n\nTariffs are used as a weapon, not a tax, because people will stop buying and buy elsewhere. Ultimately it becomes cheaper or the same to buy US made items meaning more U.S. workers.

Well india now has more than 1 billion middle class people looking to travel abroad. Lots of countries cannot handle the sheer number of indian tourists. India gets more than 70% of the usa H1B Visas so it's already getting most of the world's Visas. Maybe Indians should stay home and support states like Goa that are suffering from a lack of tourists

They don't even follow road rule. Look at Bronco hockey team got killed by one of those so called driver. Our roads are more dangerous than before. Class 1 driver for sale from those particular group instead of really learn to become a real driver. Those people make our country weak and become disorder by their corruption and we simply have to accept for their demand? It is true not all of them are bad, but one bad apple in the whole bushel of apple is already bad. Sent them home and clean up those mess.

Palli, do some basic research, call educated indians in Canada/US/AUS to get their feedback. They will say: \n\nYes, countries should REJECT, and only select highgly -qualified and work-experience proven people. Reject people that sjow money (black money from cheating indian-tax). If they already have job-offer guaranteed for 1 year, or got M.S with scholarship, -- allow.\n\nIf indians shit in public beaches, they can't even follow western rules -- FOCUS ON TRAINING INDIANS IN INDIA. Rather than threatening other nations to give visa.

You can find illegal India people with temporary Visas at 7 11 stores working at gas ⛽ stations too in America or bringing females from India so business men can use them for india sex for other men. Some already have been caught. . In India 18 million homeless, China over 3 million homeless, America has over 1 million homeless.. people gave up their Homes for RV life cause they cannot pay house payments NO more.. so WHY should America bring in illegals and migration when America already has enough problems?! Harris and Biden should be Jailed for causing more problems!! ?

Donald Trump is exhausting, he is the most obnoxious man-child ever and will not shut up for one hour! How can anyone require so much attention! I’ve never despised anyone as much as I do Trump, he is painfully stupid. Can he think for 1 second before opening his mouth? STFU already!

Republicans have 3 categories of immigrants: 1) white immigrants who can stay 2) the first black/brown immigrants to deport and 3) the rest of the black/brown immigrants to deport. They do not care to differentiate between illegal or legal immigrants. Hence why they are also discussing denaturalizing already legal immigrants who did what they were supposed to do. They. Do. Not. Care.

Bit of a side note, but Latin American birth rates have dipped so low in recent years (Mexico's is now lower than that of the US), that long-term migration from Latin America will probably decrease, because young adults are the prime migrators. This is especially true given Venezuela and El Salvador will probably shrink as source countries (Venezuela because it literally had so much emigration already, that everyone who would leave, has left, El Salvador because of the recent improvements in its security situation). I'd also expect to see some Latin Americans head for Guyana instead given its oil boom. \n\nFor context, it's not actually out of the realm of current UN projections that Latin America and the Caribbean as a whole will go from having about 2x the population of the US at the moment, to it being about 1:1 by the end of the century. \n\nThat said, this could also all be counter-acted by the economic hardship aging populations in the region would bring.

Deporting all illegal Immigrants will collapse the Agriculture Industry that's already under heavy pressure.Food prices will Skyrocket.\nNot to mention the Human suffering they will cause,looking how they handled the Pandemic where over 1 Million Americans died.\nKids in Cages or whatever horrifying Camps they come up with.
