My family came to Canada legally. It took years. We are 'people of colour'. It enrages me when people make this a race issue. You can be against illegal immigration and not be racist.

What do we legally import from Columbia?

Colombia does not have to accept these migrants legal or otherwise..trump thinks he can do something and everyone will comply...well the President of Colombia put a stop to that and all the tariffs that Trump puts on Colombia will hurt the american public more than anyone else..four yrs from now America will be in an economic disaster..

People are still talking about the American dream, while Americans are struggling? Come legally and welcome!

This is a much easier fix than what’s being portrayed. We need to make the ability to become a temporary citizen easier than it is. Background checks, usable skills, and political or criminal affiliation. If it’s not possible to access, so is your entry. I support my president and my nation completely and yet I still understand that the deplorable conditions of these broken nations is something I too would want to escape from. By making it so impossible to legally enter, we’re funding the criminals who will do so illegally. \n And can we talk openly about the real issue as well? It’s time for the U.S to clean house too. Government officials taking bribes from the Cartels and making it harder for us to put safety measures in place. We have to stop being in business with these criminal elements. I get it, the money’s being used to fund our military initiatives that tax dollars can’t, like in the 80’s with Contra, but how many U.S lives have to be lost to secure a foreign policy???

Our president of the United States Donald Trump is back. He’s a man of his word and he means what he says. If you’re legal you’re a citizen you’re not getting nothing from the government free he will not bother you but if you’re not, you better watch out cause he’s coming after you. He’s gonna look at after the US citizens, his families and their selves who’s worked all their life to make America a better place in a safe placeyou can best believe that

They look like a bunch of wild animals they must be stopped at any cost. Come in the legal way or don't come at all.

The system before Obama and Biden was a good one ,knock on our door and come here legally ,without the help of Biden crap games !

He wants to hit colombia? Legalize cocaine and drive prices down, not up

You know what I liked about Biden's Open Door Policy? It didn't exist. Truth is Biden's administration deported more illegals than Trumps first one, and Obama deported more than the two combined, but you didn't hear about them, why? Because they didn't take Victory Laps, they didn't use fear and hate as a political tool. Biden and Obama ran a Professional Operation, it wasn't half-assed, sloppy, or ham-fisted. And do you know what half-assed and sloppy creates? It creates Mistakes and breeds Escalation, that's what scares me the most. We've already seen the mistakes, legal citizens picked up, sooner or later, and probably sooner, the Escalation will come, somebody will do something really stupid and blood will start to spill.

Stay in Mexico\nCome in legally when it’s your turn.\nPeople Go Home we can not take in anymore people we do not have the resources.

Do we have legal criminals ?

Good. Keep them out. If they want to come here, do it legally. Period.

Any country refusing to repatriate citizens caught illegally in another should have an equal number of legal visas to enter revoked..

There is no such thing as an undocumented immigrant. There are only legal immigrants or illegal immigrants. This is more CNN bullshit words!

All this illegal immigrant mess has to stop. My question is.. why we do not take care of our homeless people, our veterans, the drug issue, mental health in our country and we let the other countries resolve their issues. We cannot use our tax dollars to fix other peoples problems we have our own. CNN, MNSN are so ridiculous and indecent with Americans.!! Why i dont see images of all the homeless people sleeping in the subway.. i guess there are no shelters, debit cars and meals for them!! Ahh and before you said anything im a Venezuelan legal migrant now proud american!!

Well ppl hve to come here legally thy hve to apply just like every body else has.

Democrats lied to illegal immigrants. \nIt’s not a secret that it’s illegal to cross the border through non-legal means.\nBut Democrats are racist and they believe that poor brown countries are special because of skin color. \nThat’s racist , we have a front door through a legal process that every single country on the face of the planet walks through to become a citizen. \nMexico and South America can go through the same damn door. \nThis is Democrat’s fault for lying to them encouraging them to become criminals, breaking US law to come here illegally \nTrump is not separating families. \nDemocrats are separating families because of the lies and false promises that they had no authority to grant.

Is Melania Trump a legal immigrant ?

?sounds good. If americans try to go to any other country illegally, what happens to them??? go home if you are not legal.

Don't spin it. It's ILLEGALS. SAY IT ,ITS ILLEGALS.. migrations is people who legally enter a country with proper process applying for work visas and have the qualifications and experience to get a visa to live in a country.

I wonder how many immigrants are petitioning the US for legal citizenship now!

Don't fall for the emotional blackmail. Not undocumented, illegal immigrants. Come legally.

Is there such a thing as a legal criminal? Is that what Trump is?

These are legal are illegal immigrants?

Well… is it allowed that a country not allow their own citizens to enter their country!!! Anti human rights… if the USA evacuated those illegals “it’s legal” but Colombia not to receive them “it’s illegal” they r their citizens!!!

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!

Yes and we are Winning as Americans. Trump listens to the legal Citizens. Those of you that wish to be a Citizen of America you need to follow the process. Follow the process or pay the price. How Dumb do you have to be?

So the migrants interviewed told you that without a legal method of seeking asylum in the United States, they would not attempt to enter. Sounds like some big bad criminals to me.

'Undocumented gives legal immigrants a bad name.

CNN spreading their fearmongering again. Oh no avacados and now bananas and coffee gonna be more expensive. We get those items from other compliant countries also.\n\nWe need to get these people out, they were never supposed to be here to begin with. These are not US citezens nor are they legal residents, it is the resposibility of their home countries to take them back. If the don't comply with our immigration laws then all should be denied access and a travel ban to and from their countries should be enstated.

How are you going to tariff something that doesn’t come into the country through legal means? Nobody wants their nose candy taxed.

This is sad, I came to USA as student, and legally got my job after college, just to be a permanent resident, we have to deal with so many things legally.\n\nAnd here you just cross the border and boom, all those human rights and asylum loop hole they use is so wrong.Anyone can cross those broder Chinese, Indians, Latin Americans and so on and on. \n\nWhere is the border security?\n\nYou come legally via airport and you have to go through those many securities and stuff and here we have open border.

Stand Tall Colombia, most Americans stand with you. Trump has no legal right to take many of these people out of America.

He should put tariffs on the drugs that get smuggled instead of legal goods ?

Come the legal way

No more handouts. America is for Americans and LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. We no longer need this bullshit. We are not a charity.

If you get deported as an illegal immigrant, you should be able to take your children with you. What about us who came here legally and we paid to get our citizenship and went through so much processing to get here legally while others can just cross the borders illegally and get citizenship somehow. They were not screened if they have criminal records and they didn't go through a health inspection like we did. The law is law and it should always be implemented, no exceptions. I have met someone who was not a U.S. citizen but she gave birth on an airplane above the U.S. territory and her son became an automatic U.S. Citizen. I thought that was weird. The children should maintain the same citizenship as their parents so they will not be separated. Birthright citizenship has divided and dislocated families. This law meant that the U.S. government will take the baby away from the parents because they have no citizenship and put their children in the Foster Care Home Systems? That doesn't even make sense to separate a family, this law is a home wrecker. It needs to be abolished ASAP.

and yet some politicians see this as ok is infuriating. You want to come to the US, no problem. Just do it legally. This is an invasion we're seeing.

The American dream for hard workers has never ceased. Just enter the country legally. All this charade gets you nowhere.

Finally finally action not words. What's so hard to figure out get at the back of the line and come and legally.

Im spanish and i lived here legally ... Ughh this pisses me off

USA freaking ows me 16k for visa application. Even my STUDENT visa was rejected in spite of having my course started online, all my legal docs and education scores on point. For no reason it was rejected and reason also not shared. If the purpose is not met why use people's money? Utter nonsense visa process and fees.

Nope it's time to enter this country legally.

Legal is legal. Illegal is illegal. Trump is correct, if you love your country, protect from illegal. If they want to then process thru legal documents.. so that America government can have proper data and deal what would be the best. Otherwise it would mess up because uncontrollable...

19.9 million more to go .. come here Legally and with a trade .. if you can't support yourself or you're family don't come .. America First .. TRUMP 2025 FREEDOM !! STRENGTH !! PROSPERITY!!

This is attempted breaking and entering, not attempted mass entry. they're already breaking the law and Americans do not want any more criminals, we have enough criminals. If you can't wait and enter legally then stay in your country.

Hey it’s JAN 6 don’t worry it’s LEGAL ???

Why is it a problem entering the U.S. legally? \nDoesn’t anyone respect the U.S. law? Every country has laws.\nThe U.S. citizens don’t take things for granted. That’s why the U.S. is trying to enforce the U.S. law and stop the forced entry. The invasion is taking the U.S. for granted. If they don’t respect the law what makes you think forced entry is going to abide by the law.

I agree coming to USA legally
