OMG it's sad and Biden/ Harris are responsible for all these confused people thinking they can just walk across our border and be handed everything free. I hope they can find better places to live in Mexico and not return to Venezuela

Hi I’m Newfoundland Canada and I lived in Las Vegas for 5 yrs and I’ve drove from Vegas to Newfoundland 3 times across the states. I liked the weather there but I missed my home so much. My ocean I’m back home now and I kissed the ground ??❤️??I payed for my own doctor I didn’t have insurance a 100$ to see my doctor every two weeks and it’s 20 yrs ago

They’re upset that they missed out on that Soros money. Not to mention the free healthcare, food stamps, monthly stipend, and a FREE plane ticket to anywhere in the country. Poland is currently being forced to use deadly force on the Muslim invaders into their country. If you forcefully push your way across a border, that’s an invasion and an act of war. Unfortunately it will end up being a reality on our border.

The cartels may be using people to draw boarder guards away from other areas so they can get their drugs across the border?? Because none of these people have luggage ?

Bet they didn't get across!

I'm a little surprised that these Abrahamic believers did not authorize their leaders to send these human beings across the seas shackled in the hulls of one of the shipping containers. Especially the ships that already travel between India and the U.S.. Did anyone check with Musk before this happened, it does not seem like they are watching their costs as opposed to what human beings needs? Did they check to see if they were the correct type of Abrahamic believers firstly? To me it just seems like something they would be okay with ...

My visa was not rejected. US officials across the US and during travel I met, all have been so nice. All you have to be normal, honest, and truthful before them.

What is happing with indian across the world is the outcome of what modi did in india

should have came across legally then.. ya jackasses

Nice try globalists. We know a false flag when we see it. Soros paid these people to bum rush the border knowing damn well they wouldn't get across. I feel sorry for all the pawns in this globalist chess game, which includes us American citizens.

Oooompa ooooompa oooompa de do not this time all ready have to many illegal ooompas putting a strain on us Americans who want to make America mexico saw one yesterday flying the mexico flag, disgraceful. Our forefathers fought and died for us and we are not going to have third world illegally come across and disrespect this anymore or ever again. A militia is the next strongest thing to a US Army if that's what it takes to over ride the illegal state of mind.

Its now happening all over the world. A phenomenon spreading quicly across all inhabited world.

The Democrats are gonna call President Trump racist because he's deporting all immigrants back across the border. It doesn't matter what nationality you are if you come over illegal president Trump score the deported over the border.

Poland has a good solution. Defend. Your. Castle. They KNOW the border is CLOSED, so they are INVADING ENEMIES. OPEN. ? That gets the message across loud and clear. Start at their heels, give them a running start. And no, it isn’t “cruel”. What is cruel is America having to waste our resources on their bullshit. If you have trouble wrapping your head around this principle, just picture this as YOUR front door.

If we were like Poland they wouldn't make it across the border without a hole in them then they put it in a bag and send it back where it came from

Trump Owns This !! Abbott needs to put these Venezuelans on planes ✈️ and deport them to the White House to get free meals. They are fleeing Venezuela since deranged Orangutan ? has puked ? racist rants at Latin American countries & Pontius Pilot Abbott has allowed smuggling of Guns to Latin America across the porous Texas border, left porous intentionally by MAGA to enable two way smuggling and feed their coffers for the next election ?️ vote buyout!

This is hilarious if they get across the border, they will wear their flags on their backs and laugh at us

Goes to show you how many South American countries are run by dictators and the average citizen I'm not talking about the criminal element who could also be women not just men are sent here. As I said before a man and his wife with children who want to come here legally to bring their trades with them and pursue the American dream and have their children enrolled in American schools work and whatever industry that they have experience with or schooling themselves are welcome. The individual very leery about just the men and just women coming across the border without family there's a subliminal message there very dangerous sorry to say and this is coming from a legally registered independent voter neither Republican nor Democrat

Mexicans Deported where, across from Texas

I immigrated legally 30 yrs ago , it was difficult with no internet as today & maintain ties with India. The people coming today are disgraceful / disgusting & give us a ver bad name The don’t integrate into society, talk loudly, shout across in stores, spit, sit with legs up in public, now many involved in crime as we see in news media. Come legally. It’s obvious from the clip from which states most are from ?

Paid for by the Democrat party. \n\n\nPeople forcing themselves across another nations sovereign border is the definition of an invasion. \n\nWe finally have a government who doesn’t simply sit back and quietly process them in, and this is what they do. \n\nIllegal is the perfect definition of these people.

If you were allowed to walk across that bridge under this administration what do you think you were going to get when you got here? There no funding or allocating money to anything for illegals. Your kid doesn’t become a U.S. citizen if it’s born here and if you get caught by ICE or any law enforcement officer you’re going back to Mexico. No sympathy. Go fix your own damn country.

American people are living in their cars they can't afford the high rent they don't get free food stamps and free medical and free everything they don't get free housing they live in their cars old people can't afford rent single parents can't afford rent and food for their kids but they can walk across the border and get everything like nothing free medical free food free housing play everything big big big big big big big checks it's got to stop Biden is out of office Trump is in now he's going to take care of he's going to take care of everything

We know there was many men that came across our border. Now We Want Them Out ♥️⭐️?

They need to examine carefully the airports across the US. They will find thousands of illegal immigrants working there

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.

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.

There is something Canada and Mexico don't get, Trump put tariffs because of the illegal trade that comes across the borders, illegal immigrants, gangs and drugs and because he thinks, right or wrong, that Mexico and Canada don't do enough to stop it. Now Mexico and Canada put tariffs on the US, because the US puts tariffs on them, they don't even try to defend their position or debunk what trump is saying about the illegal goods coming in. Trump must be right then, no?

Same thing happens on canadian border. Massive influx of fake refugee who got rejected of their asylum application in the u.s sneak across the border into canada and claim asylum. They get 8000 canadian dollar a month paid by canadian taxpayer until their case finalize whether they are legit or fake

Long term solution for Canada will be to make alliance with Russia, India and China, which are the future. \nHaving Russia, across the Arctic, will help increase trade with Russia and India and China through it. \nLet USA worry about having Russia and China sitting at its whole Northern border.

Promises made promises keep. \n250 countries dump people across our borders.\nWe see how immigrationhas destroyed Europe.\n\nWe learnfrom uncontrollable immigration will bankrupt every country.\nPromise made to the American citizens promises keep for the American people.\n.

Why because they’ve been able to walk right across for the last 4 years.

Why because they’ve been able to walk right across for the last 4 years.

We need to do this in the UK many parts of our cities. You would honestly believe it was either Africa or Afghanistan or Pakistan not an indigenous white person to be seen and they’re still coming across the channel in their thousands every day and our traitorous government is allowing it.

I look across the river every morning to look at Michigan. I feel sorry for the guy who voted for Trump that’s now out of a job but elections have consequences. Funny, it only took Trump 11 days to screw the North American economy. It’s like we are casinos. Who looses money running a casino?

Buy ?? goods...? \n...and take a road trip across ??. Ftrump.

If Canada stopped the flow of oil across the Albertan border the US would invade so fast it would make Ukraine look like a backyard dispute over a fence placing

One guy screwing up the world economy another looser keeping a war( Putin) going ? trump has no respect for Trudeau ( neither have most Canadians). But yes lets where all if this is going . At this point it’s more a hype about what trump announces . We can only react to it when it happens . For sure is that canada put to many eggs in one basket . For us the transport is short across the border but Europe would definitely benefit from our resources. The challenge is that trump is only in for 4 years , after his departure prices will stay up ,as history has proven .

Well, I think Trump is right, TARRIF should be a two way system, if any country don't want to apply it is for their own good. Canada should realize how to protect itself and trade across the world. We have seen Trade Embargo how it works.

Traveling across 5 countries or an ocean to get free things in the USA does not make you a refugee or legal immigrant.

It's not just all the parties supporting Canada's counter tariffs. The Canadian people are in support, across political, cultural, economic and geographical lines. Canada has not been as unified about anything that I can remember (and I'm old). Plus, Canadians are a stubborn people with a more community oriented attitude than the USA and we don't like bullies. If we have to change brands of food, stop drinking bourbon and American beer, pay a bit more, even pay more taxes to cover the costs for people affected... so be it. BUT... when the tariff's are lifted, don't be so sure we'll just start buying American again. Stubborn also means we don't let things go easily.

most drugs snuck across the Canadian border are from Americans getting cheap prescriptions. There goes that!!

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.

Trump does NOT have the skills to negotiate he only bullies. Mr. Bone spurs is obsessed with making ppl fear him and his petulant need to come across as the big bad wolf is laughable considering he wears diapers!!! ?????. NEVER back down to a bully

Im a Canadian and only % of drugs or people go across our boarders so what Trump is saying is again not true. Americans kill Americans .... Canadians do not kill Americans. WE will not bow down to a bully. Trump cant manage his own drug problems so he has to blame others. Canadian will work hard and not buy American goods. We will do our part and stand with our governments decision on our Tariffs. Trump is a sick man and is acting like a spoiled child. He cant manage his own country so he attacks ours...Canada will be here standing strong long after Trump is gone.

Many immigrants I know are now realizing that you just can’t come here and live a life while sending money back home. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and they are finding out that this is not the land of milk and honey they thought it was. It needs to be understood across the globe that the United States is not the country you want to be in if you are trying to help your family back home. There cost of living vs the pay for most immigrants is proving that it’s not worth coming here anymore.

Who knows what Mexico and Canada should do? If they are smart, they should let the Chinese and Russians set up military bases across their country. This will put the USA in check.

Thank you president Trump. Not only Africans. But please get read of Hindus. We got millions of iligals. Taking over west states California primary … please deported back to India. They getting fake cdl. Trucking legally in USA not good buying business across USA. Enough

Trump's rationale of the border security issue to Canada is totally false as less than 1 percent of drugs and illegals come through Canada. Trump is just being a bully to try to get his way on tariffs for what he thinks is an economic decision to improve the USA. Unfortunately he is again wrong as Americans and Canadians will pay a lot more for goods and Trump will cause more inflation, ruin companies and many job losses across both nations.

Kaitlan comes across as ignorant.

Right now Canadaian borders are wide open, no one is actually running the country, same ppl who ruined the country are trying to get elected again without even an inch of remorse, it has become a breeding ground for terrorist supporting groups, foreign interference, everyone can do what evr they want without having to face consequences, smuggling hundreds of kilos of drugs easily across the borders...Canada is now a land that is imploding and a prime example of how to run a country to ruins in 9 yrs...
