Headlines today 11/28/2024: Claudia Sheinbaum and Trump Agree to Stop All Immigration in Mexico.\n\nBiden should have left the Trump policies for the border in effect. Mexico was keeping the illegals in Mexico and helping the U.S. control the border, but the Biden administration cancelled the policies and decided to flood the U.S., hoping they would get enough democrat voters before the election, but it failed. All the Biden administration accomplished was putting us in deeper debt, worsening our economy, disrupting our healthcare system, housing, more crime, etc. Biden went as far as using taxpayer money to fly illegals to the U.S., bringing in gang members, murders, rapist, and all manner of corruption. We read about crimes the illegals commit everyday in the news, of course not on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC or any of the other leftist outlets. CNN & MSNBC’s ratings are in the dumpster. Anyone who watches or listens to them on full time basis, you will be the part of the misinformed.\n\nTHIS COMMENT IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, PER YOUTUBE POLICY.

Trump knows the trade war will hurt America. Trump's plans are simple: forcing us companies to build products in America, and Trump's tax cuts will help the businesses so they can start building factories and warehouses in America. That's one reason why many Americans voted for Trump.

Okay, but why? What is the purpose? We should be paying Mexico every month! A big check to help us on the border. I just don’t get it. But it’s over my head. As long as he doesn’t ruin our relationship with Mexico! ??

she will not help to stop her people from getting into the US. impose tariff on Mexico now

Canada needs more refugees!!!!! By taking care of them will help Canada solving all the problem!!!!!\nTo every country in the world: If you are poor, come to Canada! we will provide you free meals and 5 star hotel for thereest of your life!!!Don't worry about us, our country is rich and fetheral government have abundant money to feed you all, because that's how we treats the world!!!! Nice, Ehhhhhh????

Trump knows nothing! Whatever he says are lies. He just loves to treath whoever is in his sight.\nImmigration and drugs problems are of the US because its own needs of cheap labor and huge numbers of drug users. It’s so misleading to just declare that it’s other countries, and not the US responsibility. That media treats trump’s sayings with real significance is astonishing…, as if it’s not clear what djt is all nonsense. Precisely this 2024 US border crossings are at its lowest, yet ignorants, only as USers can be, voted for trump because of his lies, not because reality. That sick it is…FYI: Americans are all those born, or naturalized, in any country in the American continent, not only the US. Argentinians, Guatemaltecans, Mexicans, etc. (looking at a map may help understand how many citizens in this continent are indeed Americans.)The only crack in the continent is man made, by USers of course, the Panama Canal. America, as the continent was named before USers settled in this side of the ocean, is a nice one piece of wonderful land, where the US is occupying only a small piece in the northern side of the continent, that is, of America. US greed and ignorance can’t continue to define the world…

What has Mexico done to “control the migrants?” We have millions of people who crossed over into the USA. We are seeing it in our cities and feeling it in our pocketbooks! Just more lies. Someone has emboldened that Mexican President to think she can lie about how she has “helped stop or slow the migration into the US” when she knows dang well what she is doing (or not doing) and who she is doing it for. Your average Americans are not that gullible and we know exactly what is going on. And CNN needs to stop the lying too! Have you guys learned nothing?

Mexico and South America thought them productions was gotten be reestablished to them.. and tax US as the middle man with the help of china billion dollar import in Peru, and choke hold on them minerals within the Caribbeans… it looks like a transfer of wealth was cooking up with the full support from the ?donkey party.

“Mexico has done a lot to help the Biden administration control the migration coming into the US Boarder” is the funniest thing and also the biggest lie ever told on national television.

CNN how can you say Mexico has done ALOT to help with migration??? You can’t trick people anymore. Mexico is warning the US????‍♂️

Maybe the tariff will reshape Mexico's willingness to help us stop the illegals from coming over the border.

Good luck getting your avocado toast without Mexican avocado ? ? as a serious note, I invite everyone to read Sheinbaum’s letter, it’s very helpful to understand how the US and Mexico need each other

Now watch when trump supporters blame democrats cause tariffs raise prices. Not only does Trump want to climate migrant jobs, but he will eliminate all the money migrants and, yes, illegals spend on goods and services that greatly help our economy. We need Canada and Mexico more than they need us.

Mexico is big daddy full of goodies,,, it would help and give a hand out to the usa ?? but once it stops good luck lol, for us will be eating cheese and bread

The reporter lied. Mexico is not helping us. We have massive fentanyl massive illegals, sanctuary cities. Democrats don’t care about border security. They don’t give a fuck

HELP me to MAKE SINCE of this.( HOW IN THE WORLD ? IS a CONVICTED FELON is the United States ?? President) I guess Trump is above the law and he will never be held accountable for the Federal Crimes that he has committed! May the Lord up above HELP US ALL!✝️????

Far more drugs, weapons and people are smuggled into Canada from the US than the other way around. I hope Canada stops being such a reliable neighbor. They send help after every hurricane, blizzard or forest fire at no cost to the US. I hope Canada stops helping.

There are about 2 million estimated Americans living in Mexico currently. They may be forced out too in response. President Sheinbaum just met with China's president last week as well. not to mention China's in-roads and developing relations with so many central and south American countries. Not to mention Brazil is the B in BRICS which is now roughly 1/2 the world's population and produce more GDP than the G7 for the first time ever. God help us is Saudi joins them. That is where most of oil prices are determined also since our refineries are not setup to refine domestically produced oil (it is the wrong type) and it would take decades and billions to convert. Not to mention costly and owned by multi-national corporations. And forcing them do so amounts to semi state-control and is a communist ideal. They are capitalist institutions and are only beholden to shareholders. And those shareholders are not voting to take a loss.

No Mexico ?? did not help the US… it’s so bad during the Biden Administration… We all know that… CNN stop the fake news!!

Mexico has no leverage, they are over run with cartels, and they will need us to help them rid themselves of the cartels, maybe not right now, but at some point they will need our assistance, so Mexico is really not in a position to play hardball.

Mexico has NOT helped a lot. You live in a fantasy. The reality is everyone knows that the cartels run that country. Trump is right and we'll see how Mexico do when American's start boycotting Mexico products. They need us more than we need them. America First!

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.

Funny how u & the white people u talk to can’t talk honestly about their self distructive behavior choices. The people u spoke to were all drug addicts & from the looks of them they have been in the drug culture for a good 20 yrs, they made those choices way before those Indians went to Brampton. The only one that had a home was the French lady, also a foreigner, but she looks white enough, u didn’t have a problem with her. Here is the real problem your ignorance is showing first of all Indians were a British colony so they all speak English. Their culture values education so many of them already come to Canada with a high level of education and they are getting degrees in order to work in Canada. They believe in working & don’t expect the government to provide them with housing and all their needs like the white people sitting around in tents. Another difference is that family and kinship is valued so Indians work together to build themselves up. They may have to live in crowded housing but they r working to save to be able to buy their own homes. The problem with White people is they don’t have family unity, they view having children and inconvenience. They don’t realize that those children will become their safety net as they get older. Family helps each other out, those Indians would do anything to keep a family member from living in the streets. This would put their family in shame in their community. Canadians have something to learn from the Indians. By the way their religion disapproves of alcohol & drugs so they don’t have that problem. The working Indians r paying more taxes and supporting those drug addicts, if the Indians were not there Brampton would be a dying city. Greeting from the US.

You guys saying we should learn German to help us integrate - no problem, we’ll just leave then ? aren’t you the ones who need US?

Come to CA! I have illegals in CA who sued my city collected 190k in litigation for violating santuary city ordinance. Help us deport them and confiscate money.\nNon compliant politicians ahould be held accountable. The governor is the first to go.

hi guys, come to Taiwan. People are superbly friendly and helpful, even if many don't speak English. I am on a fellowship and attending some courses at NCCU where I help MA students with their course works which gives me a lot of joy, I was once very surprised when a student brought me some gifts to thank for helping him. And he is not a freshman but a civil servant, doing a degree to advance his career. That shows not just people are smart, hard-working but value education and appreciate us, the foreigners.

It's a problem and the only way to not see it as one is to remove your head.\n\nI'm down to seeing whatever measures needed to get rid of all if not most illegal aliens. The Democrats have been wrong at every step on this issue and have done but incentives people to come at great peril (Democrats are the ones if who have treated these poor people as political pawns).\n\nThey are also WRONG about it being geopolitical issue in South America. Most people entering the US illegally have not even been from Central or South America (if they are from Mexico they don't even get let in). But from China, Turkey, Ukraine, Pakistan, (not exactly countries that loves us).\n\nThese people have to make it through the Darien Gap and then fend off cartels from ripping them off. I also want to see Trump go after people who helped these illegals get here–not just cartels.

this news channel can't help but show their anti trump bias. they try so hard, but they cant. whenever they talk about us politics its simply unwatchable

This news broadcast is misleading as the mp said some would not be granted entry. The real issue is why are refugees always from the same countries. Then you have the west trying to help and most of them are stuck in their culture way of living, which negatively impacts our economies. This is not sustainable, and we should not have to sacrifice our quality of life for people who don’t like us.

There's a piece missing in the puzzle. Has anyone asked where's Mexico in all of this? everyone seems to forget that they're America's southern neighbor, and they're not helping with anything to mitigate the border crisis. Mexico has to be sanctioned, because they're not actively partaking in the protection of the shared border with the US, they're allowing immigrants to cross the border unchecked, sparing themselves the trouble of dealing with them. They're throwing the ball in America's court, making immigration America's problem. Since they share the border with America, they have an obligation to combat illegal immigrantion but they're not doing that. They want to get rid of their crimnals and the poverty in their country not by enforcing the law and trying to invest in their infrastructure to enhance the living standards of their people, instead they're encouraging them to move to America to find a better life. America doesn't have to pay the price of Mexico being a failed country. They're turning their backs on their own citizens and trying to get rid of them, obliging them to take the perilous journey across the border where they're prone to crime, drugs, rape, human trafficking, sex trafficking, child abuse and all sorts of tragedies but to them the ends justify the means, and they have the nerves to call America racist and inhumane for not rescuing them from the situation that they created for them in the first place. Since the vast majority of illegal immigrants came across the border with Mexico, they should be deported back to Mexico, and Mexico can take it from there, not our problem anymore

Canada is often perceived as a land of opportunity and comfort, but my personal experience told a different story. After living there for over a decade, I made the difficult decision to leave for several reasons, each of which compounded my struggles and ultimately led me to seek a better quality of life elsewhere.\n\nThe Incident That Sparked the Change\nIn 2017, I was attacked in Toronto, leaving me with a broken nose. It was a traumatic experience, but the frustration didn't end there. When I reached out to my doctor to fix the injury, I was placed on a waitlist. For years, I followed up, hoping for progress, but by 2023, I still hadn’t received a call for the surgery. Each time, I was told the same thing: a shortage of doctors meant they couldn’t help. This highlighted a stark reality of the Canadian healthcare system—while it is publicly funded, it is often overwhelmed, leaving people waiting for years for essential treatments.\n\nThe Harsh Reality of Living Costs\nLiving in Canada became increasingly unsustainable for my family and me. Despite working hard and earning less than $100,000 annually, the cost of living pushed us into a debt of over $70,000. The financial strain was immense, forcing us to sell our home just to clear the loan. Even with this sacrifice, our lifestyle remained stagnant. We hadn’t taken a vacation in ten years because there was simply no room in the budget. Owning a home or enjoying basic luxuries felt like an unattainable dream, and I realized that continuing in this cycle was not a viable option.\n\nChallenging Weather Conditions\nCanada’s harsh weather was another factor that wore us down over time. The long, freezing winters and short, unpredictable summers made it difficult to enjoy outdoor life or maintain a consistent routine. The mental toll of enduring such extreme weather year after year contributed to the decision to seek a more temperate and enjoyable environment.\n\nA Need for Change\nAfter ten years of struggle, it became clear that the current conditions in Canada were not conducive to a fulfilling life. The combination of healthcare delays, skyrocketing living costs, financial stress, and unforgiving weather made me question the sacrifices I was making. Life is short, and the realization that there are other places in the world with better systems and opportunities prompted me to take action.\n\nWhile Canada has its merits, it’s important for people to reassess their priorities and make decisions that align with their well-being. For me, leaving was a step toward reclaiming my life and creating a future where I could thrive, rather than just survive.

I want to both keep my culture, but also teach others about it. And I'm thankful to live in a country that affords me that opportunity. And that's the glue that binds us together, and helps make immigrants accept the core values of the society they are entering (which, note, doesn't necessarily mean that people should have turkeys on thanksgiving... why not chicken korma, or sarma?)

They think just because they from Valenzuela and they're being all beat up or whatever try to use that as an excuse a word from Venezuela we're from Venezuela you have to help us the only?????

She thinks she’s better than her family members now smh!! These people don’t even like her,dont even wont her language spoken her. I had asked a coworker one time to help me translate and she said no because if they live in the US they should speak English smh

Proud dual citizen Canadian here. Love the country, people and culture. However, the Liberal politics of the last 9 years have been a disaster, from high inflation, uncontrolled immigration, lack of pro business investments, homelessness, housing… this is to list just a few issues. The same thing has been happening in the US and Western Europe. Thank you God for helping elect Donald Trump. Many on this forum may not like the guy, but he was before, and will be good for the country, economy, overall people of the US and indirectly Canada. The Trudeau gang must go, a monkey could do a better job governing this beautiful Canada than that moron Trudeau. Do you all remember him saying…. “ the budget will balance itself”…. WTF… Really Justin???

Yes, illigal immigrants should be deported. Not only because of criminal activities, but they siphon US resources intended to help US citizens. They came illegally, yet they are rewarded for their illigal activity.

Hahahahahah if it goes well we all are gone ...they want to take naturalization from us so this lady when we all go back she has no body over there to help hahahaha they will laugh at her

For us to believe this all occurred because these people are 'criminals' is naive. Decades have passed and corporations and government alike had little problem with them contributing and helping the economy. Now that the average citizen is so mad ? over a situation that took over 50 years to arrive at you have to wonder how easily manipulated the average American is.

Stupid idiots. A wall?? It wont be finish in 4 years so it be a waste of time intead of helping us all citizens to do better. How stupid and waste of money is this. Money from my pocket

I am a U.S. born Mexican-American. This woman disgusts me. My father was a decorated WWII veteran. He, too, was a U.S. born citizen, as well as my mother. We never had much. One thing they both taught me was to help people who had less than we did. I look mexican, yet when I open my mouth, I don't have the accent my parents had. I have been targeted by random people just minding my business running errands. I have on occasion stuck up for my fellow Hispanic when I have seen them ignored and mistreated. What the f is wrong with this person. Was she not taught anything about empathy and compassion? Isn't she at risk of being deported? The green card can easily be taken away. Honey, they don't want us here. Yes, I include myself in that. This woman is as racist as any skin head. They will turn on her in a second. What a fool. Even Mexico doesn't deserve for this woman to be tossed back to them.

Where is the deterrence if you're telling millions of these people we are beefing up our capacity to help you all? We don't have jobs, housing and healthcare for our own people. God help us

Lady first of all, MAGA wants the country back from people like you, you are a tool to help them further their agenda. Second, racists and stupid people like this woman ignore the fact that the US has its hand in the conditions then make people flee their homes from climate to CIA assassinations. Third, racist and stupid people like this woman ignore the fact that if businesses were held accountable for employing undocumented workers, border crossings would stop tomorrow. Stop vilifying poor people and hold businesses and government accountable.

I just noticed ... after writting two lengthy comments ...that this site of propaganda ..... is 7 years old .... God help us !!!!

my family and I, as Venezuelan immigrants who came LEGALLY in 2007, do not condone this behavior. this is unacceptable. I understand that the regime in Venezuela is inhumane and has been like this for many years and I have family that has been affected by it, but if the US lets this type of behavior slide, the problems of Venezuela will likely become US issues. Many people, including my family, left Venezuela because of gangs such as Tren de Aragua, but this border legislation is letting many of those same gang members in. I hope the next president is able to get the border under control and help the individuals who genuinely want a better life get a chance to enter legally. Most people don’t wanna leave Venezuela anyway, and would go back in the blink of an eye if Maduro accepted defeat. Pray for the restoration of peace in the US and Venezuela?✝️

First Trump's administration is going to be jacked up with little known outliers with controversial and radical ideas. That is what Trump is attracted to. His ideas of tariffs and mass deportations are deplorable. They both disadvantage the US instead making it better. However, the tariffs may as well be a scam to get companies profits as when Trump says 10% on item A, companies are going to raise the cost of item A 12 to 15% or so and blame the cost increase on tariffs. For deportation's, I hope most people realize that many working the fields as low wage labor are very well illegals, but they are hired because they keep food costs low. Raising all prices for the poor Republicans will not be beneficial because prices on goods can increase 15% or more but their employer is certainly not going give them a 15% raise to match the cost of living. So Trump has already made the business environment good for more profits by planning to make life more expensive for everyone so business can absorb the additional profits. Probusiness politicians help businesses make money and that money comes from households and the government. And making the government spend more means the government needs to tax more. But TRump is cutting taxes for the people that have the most money. And Trump raising prices with tariffs justs makes households poorer and business richer. Naturally, the stock market will record highs when all the indicators are that business will be making much greater profits from households when Trump takes office.

Illegals don't pay any tax. They get money from the Biden/Harris administration, costing billions to the average US taxpayers. They contribute next to nothing and take enormous amounts.And some have ordered American children and raped hundreds .\n\nYes many are economic migrants are just looking to improve their lives , but even they put enormous pressure on school places, waste deposal, rent prices, and wages, but they help multi nationals, and millionaires with huge property portfolios more than they do the average American.

Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

When they say 15 million, they mean the 11 undocumented workers and the 4 million American citizens whose parents are in the later category. They’ve said they want to deport American citizens and stripe naturalized citizens of their citizenship. Also, don’t forget Trump promised to deport all Haitian immigrants, Ukrainians, and Afghanis under TPS. Vance especially hates the Afghans even though they helped us for 20 years when we occupied their country and would be died because they helped our troop. But no. Screw them.

im sick of canada acting like they wana help everyone but dont help there own country problems .if they come here we will have the same problems that they had with it so makes no sense.and the lady saying canadians will choose who comes in .r they guna ask us .its insane really

I’m a Canadian citizen. I married a Jewish African woman. And helped her get her citizenship after we got married here in Canada. Then we stood outside in the -20 degrees c freezing cold in a long lineup of good people trying to get their citizenships like my wife, all legally obeying the laws of Canada. I’m white so it doesn’t mater our skin color or religion. Its about love and respect to the laws of our country. What I was talking about before is we here in Canada have been suffering from over taxation, extremely high rental rates, high food costs, greatly reduced medical care (My Mom died recently from lack of proper med care resources). They put her lonely dying body in the hallway where she was robbed of her cell phones, money, food and respect. Due to migrants and illegal immigrants overloading the beds and rooms pouring in from other countries. they drained our existing medical system resources and much more. Drug addicts who overdosed on Fentanyl they take first and push all other patients aside. Doctors take them first before helping a dying mother, father, brother or sister, infant and children pushed aside to save a drug addicts life first. I have been told many times this is also do to them taking care of the pouring in migrants and illegal immigrants using it all up. Where is love and justice? Yes, you failed us Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. You sold us Canadian citizens out and tossed us aside for your own agendas. You are a disgrace to Canada and we the people want you out of office.
