Raising tariffs are effectively the same as raising taxes, which is something that Americans have been crying to do for years. Whether you are raising taxes on the rich or levying tariffs, at the end of the day, the cost will be passed down to the consumer. From the perspective of a producer, is there really a difference between a tariff and a tax?

Twelve days into the Trump Administration's second term and we are already at (tarrif) wars with Canada, China and Mexico. We have another 1,450 more days to go before this administration ends. God help us all ! ?

If Canadians thought times are tough now....wait a few days. It's about to get a lot a whole lot worse. Thanks, Justin. This is all your fault.

Skin color mean shyt to me . Illegal is illegal, deported has to be in many day so no one can come in future

How did she travel the world. I'm 61 now and made ok money but worked 12 -16 hrs per day 6 days per week. I could never afford to travel other than camping in Canada, BC. ,1 trip to Mexico and 1 trip to Hawaii. I did spend 80% of my money toward a house for the last 35 years. I guess we all determine our own destiny.

Let them serve. They should just serve but don't make a 'thing' about it. If you have a weiner, you stay in the weiner barracks. No questions, just do your work. That's what it is at the end of the day.

ore then Thousand Indian illegal entry from Canada and Mexico border every day

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

Remember, folks were all Americans… all of us or our ancestors came from somewhere else… And some of us were robbed of our birth right & some of us were stolen and brought here to America… And we had to fight for the right to be considered a full human being… Let that sink in for just one second… Literally people in this country at one point in time were told, BY LAW, they could only be a fraction of a human being hence they couldn’t vote… GROW UR COMPASSION!! There’s blood baked into American soil so that you have the privilege of calling yourself an American… a 360 degree human being! Never forget how we got here & the price paid… never forget to show compassion for those who want to be seen as full human beings! Being acknowledged as a human being, with FULL UNIVERSAL RIGHTS out ranks being an American any day!

Physical and mental health, as well as fitness for duty have nothing to do with gender identity. You can be healthy, unhealthy, or fit/unfit regardless of how you identify in any demographic category. Fit is fit and unfit is unfit. Give me a fit trans person over an unfit cis person any day.

Everyone needs to remember there is legal immigration and illegal immigration. President Trump’s wife is from Slovenia now a US citizen, while the Vice President Vance ‘s wife’s family would have originated from the Indian Sub Continent. American Nationality is a social construct you either qualify for it or you don’t. I don’t understand these individuals who enter a country illegally or legally and over stay the period stamped on their Passport. If you are stamped for 28 days you stay for no more than 28 days if on a 6 month visa you stay no longer than the visa. \n\nIt is what I would expert if I went to any other country, unless you are invading in the armed services of a country and you would be seen as an invader by that country, anyone who enters a country illegally or over stays their passport time is an invader and should be treated the same way and expelled.

At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They're allowed to take only a rucksack and a little cash with them, and even then, they're robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.

USA concerning themselves with homosexuality while China keeps getting richer by the day. No wonder China has grown faster over the years. They stick to real issues and not personal issues!

Trump needs put very large tariffs on Mexico. The Mexican government stood by until this March of people marched all the way there. It has taken them two days to get to the border.

God be with them all ??️Biden created this problem it should’ve not happened so glad that our president Trump had to clean up this mess no more free stuff from people that bust their ass to put food ? on their families while others sleeps all day and making babies so proud of President Trump he’s doing a great job for our country

If you're in America illegally get out. A lot of people are tired of the Nigerian scams. We're getting tired of your teenage crime. Finally we have somebody in Capitol Hill that will do something about you. The day when illegal immigrants will come to America and mock our laws are over with. Get out.

??, It seems Some people forget that America was built and still building on Immigrants Whether Voluntary or Forced, Whether Legally or Illegally, Some Laws need to be Added to stop the Abuse of the 14th Constitution, Some Laws need to be Added to Stop the abuses of Benefits by Healthy Able Bodies People WHO can work but whether abused the System from generation to generation to generation of Families Members, who never work a day in their life, etc like the timeless African Proverb said- If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem ??

Deporting 10.000 each day for 4 yrs is not enough.

Go back to your country and your country should take care of you because we have veterans here and homeless who need help and they should come first not you yes u deserve help also but how dare u think u can enter here illegally and take food and shejter from our veterans and our own citizens the countries of these people should treat them with great care so they don't come here by the thousands in a day

I hope this doesn't include Nigeria. There is a Nigerian princess who has written me and she will be bringing a trunk full of diamonds, emeralds and gold from her father's estate to share with me. I've sent her $5,000 to clear customs and she should be here any day now. Please let me Nigerian princess named 'Sha-nay-nay' stay in America with me!

Trumpinomics is already having a negative economic impact and it's only been 11 days..get ready for a bumpy ride!!

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

Stay tf in ur own country! U guys deal with ur problems, we will deal with ours. Freeloading scumbags. They should be at work mid day, instead of invading another country. Isn't it beheading o'clock in ur country?

Happy days are here again!

while all those walls are happening in the south borders.\nThousands a day of illegal Indians from India walk leisurely across the Northern boarders from Canada!\nNo walls to climb. No desserts to cross. And near public transportations.??????‍???

Deporting 10000 per day is only 3.6 million per yr still fall short

God created two genders, male and female, not transsexual. Any military that is filled with people perverse to the way God created them, is not a military blessed by God, and a military not blessed by God is a dangerously weak failure. This fallen world is our TEMPORARY HOME separated from God for a short time because of sin. Read the entire Holy Bible for yourself and the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ for yourself in the Holy Bible. Our eternal salvation is what matters. THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS) OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR --\n\n Jesus Christ came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation, and He lived on earth with us for over three decades, and He taught us about God and His eternal heavenly kingdom and repentance and how to live righteously and He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He gave His sinless life to ALL people from ALL nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to take the punishment for our sins for us so that justice was served, to defeat eternal death for us to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead to defeat death for us, He lived on earth for forty more days, speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven, and He is coming back again at the end of this world to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom, for all people who believe this and repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God.

Trump is setting an example to the world of what a leader can do and change can happen on day 1. Voted for Trump. I know he will clean up the house. I didn’t know I would see it in a day. beyond my expectation ?

We are losing our humanity more and more each day.

Free healthcare ? Free rent ? Free food ? $224 dollars a day ? More money than someone who is a legal Canadian , this is a CRIMINAL!!!!!! Deport NOW !

CNN is becoming less credible day by day

Good ole Ignorance. ? The BASE of the Republican Party. This ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED IF THE LYING REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS WOULD HAVE SIGNED THE BORDER BILL !!! What kind of Suckers believe a PARTY that just LIES to them EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE WEEK. ? Republicans can say ANYTHING THEY WANT about a video, but REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE THE REASON THIS IS HAPPENING !!! They are LYING to your FACES PEOPLE. WAKE UP OR THEY’RE ABOUT TO STEAL EVERYTHING FROM YOU REPUBLICAN VOTERS !! You’ve ALL been WARNED !! Your Republican Lawmakers are about to DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND ROB ALL THE GOLD IN FORT KNOX !!! Among other things !!!

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.

THE U.S.A IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. \n\nHave a nice day ?!

Another day, another psyop

Pease freeze on spending on Meals on Wheels for 2.2M seniors. They/ seniors throw food a way. Meals are not healthy and cheap. Not fresh veggi. and most child care programs for illegal people: Do you know how much delivery baby and care cost fr Hospital < $180 K. Illegal mother put her child to free day care (child care programs) to go college (free). Illegal are free every things in USA and wait to get citizenship then vote to Democrat (system).

Dear CNN, you think you would learn from 2016 with your ignorance and BS but since your ratings are dropping day by day I guess you haven’t learned a thing???

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

I am Australian trans and I never changed my job I still drive semi trucks and excavators every day so if you’re good at that you do it doesn’t matter ❤❤❤

I dont care where you are from. You have no right to invade the borders of a sovereign nation in a day and age of t*rrorism and take money, jobs and opportunities created by an entirely different nation of people FOR THEMSELVES and their children. Its funny when it comes to trees or fossil fuels or ozone, name it, liberals think we have limited resources but when it comes to land, housing, jobs, welfare etc. those resources are UNLIMITED for illegal criminals so some useless lib loser can virtue signal.

What a wonderful person! Those who say she's not fit to serve, should be ashamed of themselves. \n\nShe trust her to protect my country every day.

so let's pose a question to all those who seem to just hate the LGBTQIA+ community for whatever their reasons are....if someone who happens to be transgender saves your life, saves the life of one of their team members or perhaps leads an OP to a successful outcome, would you say that they were unqualified after the fact ? would you say that now as the regulations are being changed that they were never qualified to have performed those duties in the past ?? I've said this before, when you're downrange you don't give a damn if someone has a taco or a hotdog in their lunchbox, all that matters is that they've got your six and are willing to complete the directive as ordered. Every single one of you haters needs to realize that so many LGBTQIA+ service members have dedicated their efforts to keeping your asses safe in this country since the inception of the uniformed services were established. Should they not have done so ? Why does who they love, have sex with or how they dress actually matter to you as long as you're still able to go out and feed your fat ass an all American Cheeseburger under the watchful eye of the American Flag ?! And at the end of the day, all they ask is to be able to serve their country with dignity. It's disgusting that so many of y'all simply hate other folks this way and try to diminish the service of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Only Venezuela +Mexico + Colombia +republic+cuba = and what’s up with Jamaica in Connecticut why day not ice pick the up.

There is no question anyone can be qualified to serve. My problem has to do with a society that feels entitled enough to fix nature’s alleged “mistakes”. There is no such thing as being born in the wrong body. That is a social invention. There always were effeminate men and masculine women. However, today we feel entitled to push the envelope because some plastic surgeons can make a decent looking pair of boobs but at the end of the day these gender transitions are social and medical experiments. A man who thinks he is a woman is like an anorexic woman who thinks she is fat. It is a mental disorder and should be treated as such. Offering gender affirming surgery to a person is like offering liposuction to someone suffering from anorexia. It is feeding a delusion. Our society is very sick and delusional.
