It sounds like the video is referring to people fleeing oppressive or difficult conditions in their home countries rather than staying and fighting back. If you’re talking about Venezuela and Hugo Chávez’s legacy, there are a few reasons why people might choose to leave rather than resist:\n\t1.\tGovernment Repression – The Venezuelan government, under both Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro, has cracked down on opposition, jailing political opponents, suppressing protests, and using the military to maintain control.\n\t2.\tLack of Resources – Many people in Venezuela are struggling just to survive due to hyperinflation, food shortages, and a collapsing economy. When basic necessities are scarce, organizing resistance becomes incredibly difficult.\n\t3.\tFear for Safety – Speaking out against the government or organizing opposition can lead to imprisonment, torture, or even death. Many people, especially those with families, may feel that fleeing is the only safe option.\n\t4.\tCorruption and Military Loyalty – The government has secured its hold by ensuring loyalty from the military and key institutions through financial incentives and control over resources. This makes any organized resistance much harder.\n\t5.\tHope for a Better Future – Many people feel they have a better chance at a stable, prosperous life by leaving rather than staying in a country where the political situation seems unlikely to change soon.\n\nFighting a government isn’t as simple as just deciding to resist—especially when the government has control over the police, military, and economy. For many, leaving is the only realistic option.

Better carry your paperwork on you if you have dark skin before name, you might find yourself being rounded up. One man was already picked up at a restaurant at work. He had a green card legally allowed to be here. Didn’t stop them from dragging away think about being held for 8 to 12 hours Being legally allowed to be here or being an American citizen and your family not knowing where you’re at the last time Donald Trump was in office. American citizens were deported south of the border and two were shot in the living room. One gentleman was deported an American citizen who had diabetes. They deported him yet no medication on him no money to country. He didn’t know he died on the streets. Please stop thinking it can’t happen to you Donald Trump right now is rounding up American Indians Navajo and Saint American citizens it’s time to call your son your senators your governors. It’s time to speak out. Stop standing there, thinking it won’t happen to you.

Liberalism has permiated the world, and it is obvious the radicals like you, who should stick to covering your own country, are still having a hissy fit. Good! The days of the United States caving in to your BS is over. You better prepare, cuz there is a new sheriff in town here, and he is most definitely not playing around. People who think the US is going to continue to take everyone you can send here is over.\n Follow our laws and you are welcome. Ignore them and you are history.

Use its economic leverage, trade relationship better access, they rely on indian talent if they are so talented then why not use it in their own country, doesnt she know why US wont answer because she cant handle the truth, choose visa friendly nations like thai, vietnam and sri lanka really, cant because she is hosting a show, need a bit of common sense

Can you believe how sinful , crazy , sick , demented and corrupt this world and this country have become ? The Bible has told us how all this would happen in the Last Days . Better get right with God people . Jesus is coming soon ??

These people use Trudeau's excuse as IS getting into Canada. I wish it was easy the way my family went through the eye of the needle to work with IRCC to become Canadian citizens, work and toiled to pay Taxes in this country for over 44 years! These people took a plane ride and demands to be better off than Canadian Citizens? 4:29

Stay in your country and make it better stop coming over here ,,if you need to come , enter in the right way !!!!

this is our country and now the boarder is secure better run before the USMC comes in to secure our borders. They won’t have any forgiveness on the enemy.????

If they are are mentally and physically healthy then let them fight for the country. Its better to have the bigger army.

USA better stay out anybody country

Dood I’m sorry but fukem. Do it legally like a normal person. Better yet take that energy amd put it into fixing your own country. We got enough problems of our own. Duh

We are broke. Better go back and fix your own country.

This is sad but this is an invitation. They need to go back and hold their leaders accountable and fight for a better living in there country.

STOP ALL FOREIGN AID TO THESE COUNTRIES!!!!!!!!!! GET THE WATER HOSES READY. DEMANDING TO GET INTO THE USA, REALLY. WHY AREN'T YOU DEMANDING BETTER OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY. DEMAND OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY NOT OF THE USA!!!!!! FJB!!!!!!!!!

You know there's something SUS AF when even the country where these illegals are coming from dont' want them back. I don't like Trump, I think he's vile but I do agree with what he said about countries flushing their toilets on us. How better can you put it and confirm it when their own countries refuse to take them back.

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

Scum go home and make your own country better.

The amount of energy expended to gain illegal entry into the US would be better used to change their country of origin.

Trump has already negotiate a deal with El salvor.. regarding those countries that won’t take back their citizens… so shameful CNN that you cannot even deliver the full story ..do better !!!

It is time for the government to create opportunities for India’s foreign dream seekers and help them to find better paying jobs in India rather than blaming other countries for rejecting visa applications.

America needs to include tariffs on companies that outsource jobs to countries like India and the Philippines. Healthcare policies should be revisited to better serve American citizens. Taxpayer money should focus on domestic priorities rather than being sent abroad. Strengthening U.S. borders with a permanent military or National Guard presence is essential for national security. Additionally, we must reassess our involvement in endless foreign wars and critically examine the underlying dynamics of global control, power and wealth influence by Israel real agenda!

When ur own country doesn't want to take you back..I think that says something huge...all countries dumped their scum here. Made their countries better and destroyed our how selfish of those countries and now u refusing to take ur own people back...why? Why is that Colombia? They arw going back! They are your people!

So we say were going to send our military to the southern border, but the flow of migrants swells to an enormous crowd, I blame Mexico send those assholes back to their country Mexico is COMPLICIT AND THE SOONER WE GET MEXICO TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BETTER, NOW MEXICO MAY WANT TO LEARN THE HARD WAY, WE PREFER THE EASY WAY EITHER WAY MEXICO YOUR GOING TO FEEL THE HEAT

Why don’t we send money, skills, and resources to help assist these countries with becoming better places to live…so that they stop needing to come into America! We send billions+ to aid other countries that despise America why not start with the poorer countries connected to our borders…?\n\nJust food for thought…\n\nThis is sad on sooo many levels…So much to be said…yet in the end Border control is VERY necessary.

Its a clear message for immigrants the world is economically shrinking instead of going abroad to make career it's better to make a career in its own country. For this one has to relocate him/her self within the country that's in a new city then go for it.

Nah, Americans voted. The free ride is over mfers. If your country is so shit, take all that energy and make it better. There are more of you than them. Yea people gonna die. But it's about making your county better for your kids. Get tha f outta here with this crap. America didn't get where it's at from hand outs when it started. We fought to have what we have.

This President thinks everyone will just bow down to him. Now it's his headache where to drop these migrants. Such a big mansion in Florida can't even share it to someone who are struggling to put food in the table. Thanks to the Colombian President. Imagine watching your family members shackled in that plane. Sir these migrants have hopes in their hearts that life would be better as soon as they reach your country but no sending them back like all of them are criminals. They don't look like you convicted of some sort of crimes.

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

All countries besides the usa should not trade nothing with the usa...then watch trump give up and treat other countries better...

Well looks like the usa better start building mega prisons to hold all those immigrants thats being deported. It would be more money for the usa if we just set them free and put those immigrants to work and start building production lines and sell those products to other countries to build our economy back

It kills me that rather than these immigrants get together and stand up in their own countries to make their homelands better they rather come to the United States. The United States have fought wars on our homeland for our freedom and independence for our own ppl. War is bad but why not stay in your own country and fight for your land.

Go home and make your country better. If that means you have to fight for , then fight for it.

Do they think they can run this country better?

Pixel brained Trumpers: Your orange dictator better watch it, or he will have no allies. We are not afraid of this bully, and collectively, countries are uniting. Have fun with the tariffs, because you reap what you sow. CNN you suck. Almost as bad as Fox.

Sort out your own countries.\nElect politicians with the will and resources to defeat the criminal elements within your country.\nEveryone wants a better life.\nNot everyone can have one.

Not necessarily the Colombians that were returned to Colombia are bad people! Many do not find opportunities in their country and leave it to look for work, and better ways to live. And many Colombians are very well welcomed IN USA!

It's amusing that your site has zero videos of Donald Trump absolutely schooling Karen Bass during that live TV Friday night. Not a single clip from CNN either! And yet, you report this without mentioning that the Colombian president has already Folded like a lawn chair. Plus, you conveniently skip over his attempt to retaliate against Trump with tariffs. Spoiler alert: we’ll just get our coffee from Brazil, which is way better anyway! president petro is not winning any popularity contests in Colombia, and sacrificing his country's economy for the sake of the optics involving violent criminals being airlifted is just plain reckless. That's downright crazy.!

The President of the United States has great influence over the United States. If such a president were given legitimate influence, power, and authority over all other countries, that person would be called the President of the World or like maybe, Jesus Christ. Thus, it is a great thing to focus mainly on what we can directly affect and have authority over, as all else might just be a indication of ego and blustering wind. It's better for everyone to see you as having the wisdom of Solomon and making great journeys to hear your ideas, than it is for you to foist your ideas as though you could display your Solomon like wisdom and make yourself seem a source of wisdom.

Better stock up on pain meds, computer and gaming stuff, and other regular things cuz they are all made outside the country

China the only country don't care about tariffs ?. Other countries better learn to build their own.

Latin country better act right because all hell going to rain

My goodness I hope that the president of the united state of America thinks his next big idea better then something like other countries just denying the Americans to land in there countries!!!!

Ahhh Yes, let it all begin!!! Its only been a week & Trump has done more than Biden / Harris did in 4 years. Love it absolutely love it, enough is enough & about time every country realizes they arent/cant keep sending their problems & illegal immigrants to our border to cross in / enter the U.S illegally! Hopefully Trump sticks to it & sends back as many of them as physically possible! Time to focus on making our country great again, eliminate the nonsense & ? show Biden/Harris created and allowed! All the south american and central american counries better wake up n deal with their wonderful citizens because its not the U.S job or obligation to just allow and accept them. If they want to do it legally and right way, sure im all for it, but enough is enough! How about we start sending all of our criminals etc to their countries on a free for all and thousands of them at a time not just a couple!?! Pretty sure the majority of U.S citizens have had enough & 99% are glad Trumps a man of his word & does what when & how he says it!

So everyone better go buy there coffee NOW!! Listen everyone if you voted for this idiot you will REGRET IT!! Trump will ruin our country like ALL HIS BUSINESSES!!

So how's that strong man bullying working out for you tRump? Are crops are going to waste in the field because you're scaring people and you're not even deporting as many people as Biden did without all the drama! You know you could actually work with some of these countries and get a much better return.

I don't understand!?\nWhy can't you stay in your country to help build it to become a better place.

Sad. But not our problem or responsibility to take care of them. There’s so many other countries out there. They won’t let them all in. It sucks to have to be tough sometimes, but it is necessary at this point. Our own people are suffering and if the media showed more of that and less of this type of stuff, it might be better.

The best these countries could. Do is to help. Install better governments in these troubled nations

go back and make your country better

America please stop destabilizing the region with USA policies that’s why you have all these migrants trying to come in for a better life \nStop sponsoring opposition when you don’t support a government or get your way cause other countries can’t tell you what to do.
