As a Canadian, I see the relationship with Trump as very toxic. Not long ago, we detained under house arrest Meng Wanzhou (Huawei exec) at the request of Trump. He used her as a bargaining chip for trade between the US and China. Remember that? Canada had to do it (to show others that we keep our word when it comes to treaties). In the end, he cancelled the request, after several years and 2 Canadians being arrested in retaliation by China. So we degraded OUR relationship with China... and for what? The whims of an Orange man. \n\nAnd now we are at it again. Trump is playing Canada against Mexico! I trust Mexico more than I trust Trump's America. And Mexico's incoming President is far more intelligent, and comes across with much more integrity than Trump ever will. WAKE UP, CANADA, US and MEXICO! Trump is running a great country into the ground. People of N. America, we aren't enemies. Bide your time. Don't fall for his trap. 4 years is not THAT long, is it? ?

Politicians sold their people out all across the west, I believe Australia just signed a deal with India for persons exchange as well.

It’s not just healthcare. Look up maternity and paternity benefits. Look up total life expectancy. It’s so many issues across the board.

This cycle is harmful to both India and host countries, and it needs to change. \n \nTake Canada, for example: diploma mills are issuing record numbers of student visas to Indian nationals (mostly from Punjab and Haryana), whose primary goal isn’t education but job. They use student visas as a pathway to work permits and eventual permanent residency. Many refuse to assimilate or respect Canadian culture and values, creating tensions with the Canadian public. This has led to growing xenophobia, political pressure to tighten immigration policies, and resulting in international students across the board facing deportation after their studies. \n \nIn Singapore (where I'm from), we’ve also observed a similar trend over the years. Individuals from India often enroll in short, diluted, and overpriced postgraduate diploma programs designed primarily to attract indian foreigners. These programs serve as stepping stones to secure student visas and, eventually, local jobs. While many return home after a few months without success, those who secure jobs often refuse to assimilate. Instead, they create workplace tensions to drive out the locals, and once they got onto managerial positions, often conduct preferential hiring towards people of their own ethnicity / village. \n \nThis trend must stop. \n\n1. Someone who has a desired skill, and are ready embrace other cultures, should apply work visa. \n2. Someone who is a scholar, or geniunely wishes to study in foreign university, should apply student visa. \n3. Someone who is a mediocre opportunist who wants a quick backdoor to a job or permanent residency in other country, should not disguise themselves as a student. \n \n\nNot that hard.

THE YOUNG INDIANS ARE EVERYWHERE IN CANADA... THEY WORK ACROSS CANADA ?? ? ? ? ... THEY ARE CHEAP AND RUDE ... NO RESPECT FOR THE OTHERS ...

Western countries should stop taken students from Asia , they have different culture the USA and Canada need to close the over population of Indian all I see across the USA are Indian nationals I don’t like them

The 14th amendment was created to protect post civil war blacks and ensure that they were recognized as American citizens!!! PERIOD!! How can some third world alien slither across our borders ILLEGALLY and demand citizenship for their progeny??? Soon there will be no more debating any of this nonsense and there will be civil war which will end all of the debating!!!

That born in US was written for slaves!! Not for illegals racing across the boarder pregnant with a welfare anchor baby! If an American goes to Paris pregnant that baby goes back to America with its mother!

That woman walked across the border like all of the other ones.

Well my family has been here since the 1800's so we arent going anywhere, read your history this is our land ,your family came from across the ocean we never crossed any boundaries this is our land .

you gotta understand tho.. the prices are not the same across canada... i spent 5 years in halifax and even tho i was born and raised in toronto...halifax to me was home... i payed $400/500 for my own apartment..but that was 15 years ago...halifax is cool man...i defantly wanna leave toronto...but its not easy for me to do..i came back to toronto to be with my mom..and it didnt work out..now i got lot of strings tied me to this city...and the city has alot of strings tied to me..like as much as i wanna go ..its like they have me locked up here for now.. so i more then understand you..good video and good luck to you

If You snuck across the boarder like a rat in the dark then what the fuuck did you think would happen ; just cause you made it across doesnt mean you can stay and fuuck all of you that think you can break the law. If you dont like it then change the law. The people want all undocumented people removed as the law states

I would be much more likely to move to holland, or New Zealand if I ever moved. Maybe even Germany. Absolutely never the states ? even tho I think OF the places to live in the states, Santa Cruz , Vermont, Seattle , Portland or near by, or maybe even Maine if they weee less expensive and more diverse Lolol might be places I’d be less averse to I guess but unfortunately they’re all still a part of the states as a whole so never and no thanks. ?. \nOh or maybe some of the Canadian border states areas that are very close and have similar beautiful geography with lots of cottage country like environment and run across the border distance to O Canada ??? is that cheating ?

I thought birth right was just for the military back in the day! I believe at least one parent has to be a US citizen for the new born to be a US citizen at birth. Just running across the US border and dropping a kid out should not be a US citizen.

Let's get real here, these international students do not contribute significantly at all to Canada's economy. They are a drain on food banks that locals need for survival. They are a drain on our economy because 90% of them are sending most of their paycheques back to family in India. They are taking jobs away from young Canadians trying to enter the job market while Canada's unemployment rate is high right across the country. The schools mostly are fraudulent diploma mills that are not providing any real world job skills that are useful to Canada or Canadians and 90% of Indian international students who enroll in these colleges do not even attend. They come only to work for dollars and send money back to India. Meanwhile the cost of living is extremely high due to the housing shortage caused by excessive Indian International students. It should be very clear now, Canada and Canadians want all these Indians to leave Canada and return to India as stated in the temporary resident visa. If not they will be cut off and deported also incurring a 5 to 10 year ban from Canada.

Her attitude is the same as the american Democratic party. Weak. They are all thinking they can reason with common sense and intelligence. \nTrump thinks hes now king and can just threaten people to make them fall in line.\nQuit it all of you leaders across the earth. Just sanction and ostracize the U.S. untill hes gone. Let him shut the U.S. off from everyone. Let americans experience the life THEY CHOSE.

What to do you mean no one wants to live in Canada? I do! Who wants to live in Toronto or Vancouver anyway? I live 100 km east of Vancouver, and I love it. Beatiful countryside, friendly people. If you make a living online, you're fine. When the gas goes up, I drive across the border to Washington state to fill up. Stop whining. Canada is the best country on Earth!

As an Indian living in India it disgusts me that my countrymen act as if India is heaven and then want to go to the west 'illegally'. These fools (mostly the dredge of society) sell their farms or take massive loans to spend 'crazy' amounts of money to do this. They can't even speak English properly, nor are they compatible with western culture, so if they're successful in making it across they end up in low paying menial jobs or just homeless.

Hello ma'am. Im coming across this late, in Dec. Is it too late for me to venture into it?

The entitlement is unbelievable! I've never been able to afford going half way across the world to study. Instead of paying for education here (aka thinking they were getting their ticket into PR), they could've just stayed home and invested that money in stocks or create their own business

Tariffs would collapse Mexico's economy. Watch Trump slap 100% across the board on Mexico. The peso would drop like a rock. No one would buy ANYTHING from Mexico. American companies IN Mexico would leave Mexico due to the fact Trump is dropping regulations which killed their businesses under the democrats so they would return. Also ending the reliance on foreign oil will drop the prices for consumers even more so American made products would be cheaper and better made again. Most of the industry is automated as well but American jobs would return so China and Mexico who work together would be kicking rocks. Trump is winning and he isn't even in office yet ?

Mexico should state that they will have bank's and border security against Don the con and give asylum to Americans who are enemies against a stalinski dictatorship across the border from the freedom Mexico and Canada still advocate. ?????

Well, she must be an awful president, that her people cant wait to get away from her.. What a bully she is... Guess what u*ly woman, we are about to tax the f**k out of every piece of everything that comes across our border. Mexican Americans AGREE... \nReply

Welcome to the Canadian Borders guy's - The United States (U.S.) - Canada border is the longest in the world, spanning 5,525 miles (8,891 km) across 13 U.S - come in guy's it's wide open?

Well, no surprise the brainwashed are here in a CNN comment section. The economy is shit under Biden and Kamela but you all think it is good, while millions die from drugs coming across the border.

The people of San Diego are already starving and across the United States and he wants to make taxes on incoming goods desperately needed at a low cost?

Why wasn't all of this said prior to the elections CNN you guys are the news outlet of the world supposedly why can't you guys report about all of this factually before elections instead of having Donald Trump and his cronies makeup lies about the amount of people coming across the borders everyday

Imposition of his tariffs will raise prices across the board. Canada tariffs will drive up gasoline prices to $8-10 per gallon. Mexican Coke will go from $3.60 per bottle to $6-7 per bottle. This will be the catalyst for worsening inflation worldwide. And, all this negativity will be evident by Summer. We are all going to starve by New Year’s 2025. You voted for this, enjoy poverty. Suckers and Losers, and now it will take down all of us

It's the scammers in India that promise the illegals a better life in the US. They sell everything they own and borrow money to pay the scammers not knowing what they are in for when they get across.

Punjabi & Gujaratis at work! Do not disturb! The most desperate community I have ever come across! Especially Punjabi, shitting everywhere in Canada & the US.

Charge $10,000 dollars for every illegal they allow across their borders into America. American tax payer tired of footing the bill

Do anyone knows the reason why Mexico allows millions of illegal people to enter and travel across the country to enter the US and the government never stop those people? Let's say that Haiti has border with the US and the U S allow millions of Haitians to cross the country in their way to the Mexican border and the US doesn't try to stop them . I don't think Mexico will like that. Am I missing anything?.

the problem is that leaders prefer to deal with larger business owners\nsince that is a lot easier to talk to a single individual person\n\nso what that means is big business can deal with those changes\nhowever all of the other small medium sme landscape suffers a lot more\n\nfor a strong and healthy economy you need a broad variety of business\nacross diverse sectors types but also different sizes for different purpose\n\nsmaller businesses creates new wealth generation new opportunities\nit is the mechanism of entrepreneurship and narrow the wealth gap rich vs poor\n\nsmaller business also is the place where innovation occurs new products\nalso entire new markets and opportunities to improve the society local cities\n\nbig business doesnt like threats coming up from smaller companies\nso there is an inherent tensions here that is self destructive to usa economy\n\nneed protect sme business against fallout from tariffs below certain size\nthat then is complex across different sectors materials products to waive that\n\nthe implications was to focus only on the top n number of sectors by revenue\nfor example raw materials metals, building materials affects both large + small\n\nso that is why the dynamic tariffs idea as a tool for negotiating other nations\nwhich is also hideously complex, so its all a lot of unnecessary beuraucracy added\n\nwhich is then against the drive to simplify government those initiatives conflicts\ndont make all your sme business rising stars pay for that --> future big business\n\nthey will remember your policies and become another anti-government all again\nthat is bad ways

The news is concerning as interpreted by CNN. Far from the truth of what was said by Mexican president. I feel the response is normal and correct for any leader. The two nation would have to work together. Only issue of this scale will make those nations wake up and demand cooperation across borders.

Every border has two sides. The police forces on both sides of the border should prevent illegal activities. And Mexico does nothing! I lived on the border of two European friendly countries long time ago, and it was a lot of respect for security from both sides, the constant traffic across the bridges was well controlled, but all illegal activities could be met with deadly force!

Trump is madly out of his mind, too theatrical and bluffing to be credible, the country shall be governed by intelligence rather than impulsive messages. On top of controlling the drug coming in across the borders, it is quite obvious that domestic drug addicts will need to be weaned off the drug and to be rehabilitated, nobody is talking about this aspect at all. Otherwise, it is simply the law of demand and supply, short supply will push up the price, therefore making it more profitable for smugglers to figure out creative ways to get it in, at this rate, it will be hopeless.

Bullshit on CNN, I live on the southern border of Texas and CNN is full of it as usual…I can see what is happening snd Mexico has done nothing helping to curb the illegals come across the border from Mexico .\nThat’s absolutely BS.

Ohh. Scared CNN. A narco state threatening us. Because they are way richer than the US right? ?. That’s why their people scurry across the boarder on mass. Because it’s a great country! You woke idiots are great. Just like “Kamala was going to win because of the of joy. CNN never lies! It’s a truth show ?

Charge $10,000 dollars for every illegal they allow across their borders into America. American tax payer tired of footing the bill for 20 million illegals.

Trump fails to understand how many cheap good the United States imports across the Mexican border on a daily basis\nI know of two companies in my area that have manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labor\nIs Trump going to carve out an exception for American companies making cheap goods in Mexico? China? Etc?

More fake cnn news. Nobody coming across border. There must be a lot of people wanting to hear lies or they just talking and nobody listening. As for Mexico, they will stop the border crossings just like they did last time.

Put tariffs on Mexico and she is going to send more people across our Southern border.

No wandering people coming across the boarder is down because they all are here already. She can stop it at her boarder if she would but they don’t want to

What if Mexico really sent millions across the border,

that woman is smokin crack if she believe her report,, the Mexican government not only allowing these imgrnt but helping all the way across there country,, wake up liars

tRump supporters voted to put stupid back in the White House. Time to apply import tariffs across the board. I can’t wait for those cost (higher prices) to be pass to them. I can’t wait!! ??

It’s just going to inflate the price of cocaine and every other drug coming across the border. The focus will shift from the West Coast to the East; distributors will use markets in Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Until we focus on harm reduction and mental health to reduce the demand, this won’t do anything but make it harder for us. Other countries remember things, y’know? You can’t just bully people and expect that they’ll help you later. We’re learning that now.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened to retaliate with her own tariffs against the United States, after President-elect Trump suggested he would impose a 25 percent tax on imported goods from Mexico if her country did not stop the flow of drugs across the border. \n \nIn remarks on Tuesday, Sheinbaum said that drugs were a U.S. problem, not a Mexican problem, and suggested they could harm U.S. automakers with plants on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

India is truly halfway across the world. Why are they wasting their money by coming here illegally?
