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.

Shouldn’t you be speaking English since you’ve lived in the USA for years?

assuming those speaking to the news person are legal... its DISTURBING they are NOT speak ENGLISH!!!!!! SMH Business should be fined or held accountable for hiring un documented illegal workers!

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.

Thank you for speaking out loud! Nothing against Muslims or anything but it seems that our cultures cannot cohabit.. Nobody is winning in a scenario where you can't be yourself and we have to completely revisit our ways of living to accomodate yours. You have a beautiful family and deserve to live happy. May God be with you?✨

The first women to speak is also complaining about the temperature in the U.S.. You know where the weather is great? Central America.

Because these people have NO respect for anyone. They can't speak the language and don't even try to. Stay in India, you're not welcome or wanted.

Speak correctly is illegal, illegal means someone that broke the law! If you commit a crime you should face the consequences

Soldier not cookie cutter. If they from out of town, watch a movie, some might ask for possible military discount, some will not. My cousin, who a Marine, not into what he call 'he/she.' But. Maybe he no think Navy Cmdr. Shilling, 'cookie cutter' trans. A military, can find a place for everyone, like IDF find place for female tank brigade, kill 100 Hamas Oct 7, no casualty of their own. IDF kick our ass in conventional war, cuz 'warrior' interwoven way of life for Israeli. When we like, only so and so can defend our nation, like Shilling say, it will leave 'holes' in the armed forces. Some people like her, irreplaceable. Anyone, who speak civilly with Collins, no interrupt, compulsively, like all manner of powerful male who interviewed by her, not a male. The 'not knowing' to Congressman, the main issue he have. She a female? She not a female? In spirituality, 'not knowing,' as in experience of WHO you are, is where you want to be. Something 'known' and it time to move on. It like ask decorated Congressman about eye patch. Who dumb enough talk about something, not gonna get better?

Remember when most people speak thats whats happen. Good job DT

they should put a HUGE LOUD SPEAKER OUT THERE and PLAY ON REPEAT .. SHUT UP AND TURN AROUND YOU LUNATICS. WE NO SPEAK OH ESPANO.

Why is he speaking Spanish?

Restaurant cashier who can't speak English. ?

Note: Most of the speakers don't speak English in a country where English is the official language or least it used to be.

Main side point is once you’re in the active duty military, the Government pays all your medical expenses 100% through TRICARE. It is not the tax payers financial responsibility or the governments to continuously take on this private elected debt of one’s choosing. Trans have always found a way to get their gender changed in the private medical sector without adding to the already multi trillion dollar debt we are in. This is a logical and sound decision and it speaks the voice of over 70 million Americans who wanted it. No opinions on that. Facts. ?? stay straight

They cant even(or wont) speak english?

There are more than 10 countries they pass thru that actually speak Spanish before they get here. If it was about escaping Venezuela they could have stopped before hitting Ecuador.

Thank you Cmdr. Shilling for speaking out. It makes clear how personally hurtful and destructive Trump's trans ban is, while doing nothing to enhance military preparedness.

Nothing like seeing a woman speak like a man

The person that is speaking there, is that a man or a woman now ? How did you people get this crazy ??

Not American. But it is shameful to read how some Americans in here cant even respect someone wanting to serve their country and them. These ppl are ready to give their lives for the so-called 'freedumb' americans are always braggin about. And what they get in return is being reduced to something as primitive as genitals. Shame on anyone who has more an issue with what a fellow human identifes with than the mad tangerine in the white house that is actively destroying the US and democracy. Let's see how far these ppl are willing to serve their fellow citizens like trans soldiers do. Oh right... they dont. Cuz all they care about is themselves. Much respect to her for speaking out and wanting to serve her country. ?

Crenshaw is just jealous. I thank Cmdr Shilling for her service, and I'm glad she speaks out.

CNN news story video request: \nThe Department of Homeland Security widened its investigation into migrant children found cleaning slaughterhouses and is now working with the Justice Department to examine whether a human smuggling scheme brought migrant children to work in multiple slaughterhouses for multiple companies across multiple states, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the investigation. \n\nIt’s no secret that billions of individual animals will be killed this year to satisfy America’s dairy and flesh addictions. At the slaughterhouse, they’re often scalded to death or dismembered while they’re still conscious. Because slaughter lines move quickly and many workers are poorly trained, stunning animals with a captive-bolt gun often fails to render them unconscious. As one slaughterhouse worker charged with cutting off the legs of conscious cows explained to The Washington Post, “They die piece by piece.”\n\nWorkers often become sick or are injured because of the unsafe and unsanitary working conditions of these gruesome facilities. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) records show that about 17 “severe” accidents occur each month in U.S. slaughterhouses. Approximately two slaughterhouse workers have a limb cut off by slaughterhouse machinery each week. It’s not uncommon to hear of workers losing an eye, fracturing their fingers, or suffering from head trauma.\n\nOSHA indicates that U.S. slaughterhouse employees are 3 times more likely to sustain a serious injury than the average American worker. People who work in pork and beef plants are nearly 7 times more likely to develop repetitive strain injuries. According to news reports, two-thirds of workers on Upstate New York dairy farms have reportedly sustained at least one workplace injury, and many say they’re told to work through illnesses and injuries. An Oxfam America report reveals that chicken plant workers fear that they’ll be fired if they take “unscheduled” bathroom breaks, so many wear diapers.\n\nWe can all help stop the abuse and exploitation that occur in slaughterhouses simply by going plantbased and speaking out against all the cruelty and injustice of animal slave farming industries.

Wow finally Canadians are speaking up about this disrespect from the India community. Took you long enough

There are a lot of decent countries that speak the same language and have very similar cultures between Venezuela and the US. It would make starting your life over so much easier so that really begs the question why are they making that dangerous journey to the US? Seems really odd to me. Almost like there's something else going on.

One question go or no go! Do you speak English? I know It sounds absurd, but it is a beginning in the search for chaos!

Still didn't learn English... Wtf were they thinking can't speak the language of the country

I don’t ever wanna hear “ y0u eH SpeAk eH sPaniCh?” ever again.

We will be isolated from BRICS within a few years because the Authoritarian regime of America is racist. Oops, sorry to future American commissars for me dissidence. I didn't really mean to speak my mind.

Why is no one speaking about Columbia's requirements to accepting immigrants into their country. Give the WHOLE STORY CNN

If these migrants are a benefit to the diversification of a society then we are granting Mexico a gift that will keep on giving. Mexico is obviously ok with letting them across THEIR southern border so they MUST be cool with having them stay longer. This is Mexico’s big opportunity to reinvigorate their culture with a diversity of Latino cultures. Plus, most already speak the language- win! Viva La Mexico!

Sooo funny, the president of Colombia already told Trump he'll use his own Jets and fly his criminals back home, because when Trump speaks the rest of the world listens...

I was just reviewing speeches made by various politicians and presidents at funerals in the U.S. I was thinking that no one could speak at Trumps funeral so it should be a short one when the day comes.

I’ve been waiting for my husbands marriage visa for 14 months freezing the legal visa processes for Colombians who are married to a U.S. disabled veteran citizen born and raised in the Midwest is wrong. I pray the President restarts processing legal visas for this married to U.S. citizens \nI am not able to walk well and my only caregiver is my husband so I’m stuck in colombia until my husbands visa is approved. Most people here hate President Petro he has ruined the country and now he is ruining it more we can’t speak out against him but my husband and his family do not support the President of colombia and a ton don’t believe he actually won the election. Colombia has always been a close ally I hope the CIA and Delta Force can fix things in Colombia returning to Uribe and strong U.S. allies. Other countries aren’t U.S. friend but Colombians love the U.S. and please don’t punish the people for the actions of a terrible president who ruined the economy here and is only got 1 year left in office maybe the U.S. intel system and military can “handle” the problem of a president who doesn’t have the support of the people. All my neighbors love Trump.

The globalist ordered them to over run it for political reasons. Because it was heavily organized when, scheduled caravan from mexico. They don't care if they get hurt spiritually or bodily. The globalist need to be held accountable for ordering this. Racketeering invasion. Ngos handle these people. Those people are given false promises. Their handlers are illegal and the immigrants also are willing to be illegal. God speaks about the lawless ones in the bible having a hard road.

They are coming to your country - America, and even the do not know English. What would they do there? Cocaine trafficking Human trafficking – 98 percent are criminals. What right does this Spanish-speaking have to speak about your president - a lot of mess is made by them - immigrants.

Now you americans realize that NOT EVERY ILEGAL IN USA WHO SPEAKS SPANISH IS MEXICAN?? Colombia is in southamerica! People from centralamerica (costa rica, panama, guatemala, honduras, el salvador) and southamerica (colombia, venezuela, peru, argentina, brasil, ecuador, etc) have always crossed the border ilegally, and you've always believed that they are mexicans just because they speak spanish ??

I will speak on Greenland , he is saying he will take over Greenland to get the European army now at the Russian border to leave so Russia can take over Ukraine

It speaks a lot to the country of Venezuela that they do not receive its own people back home. They know the caliber of the majority of these people and do not want them to be returned.

I am so glad those countries are standing up to this bully and his fascist party. I am also glad he is putting tariffs on them which means things over here will become higher for all of us. Yes the good is going to have to suffer with those that wanted to see how it feels to have this country ran by the lawless, no morals racists people in this country. To have rapist, drunks and traitor to this country in charged. And those White people that voted for him they are going to feel it to maybe even more because he takes his money right out of their account every month and they can not stop it. They need to listen to Billy Graham sermon called Choices. Please do not never think Franklin Graham is like his father he is not he is like the father that Christ speaks about in John 8 verse 44 and all those that voted for Trump and helped spread or spreading his lies. The word called them oligarchies and Trump calls them his people but the bible calls the MAGA party, the false men and women that help spreads his lies and those that worship Trump an Idolater. All of them are from Franklin Graham to the proud boys. These so call men and women of their god have deceived many for him. Those corrupted judges or no different than the proud boys. The whole MAGA party is no different than the proud boys. These people are no different than the racists proud boys, 700 club, TBN, Jentezen Franklin, Donnie Swaggart, John Hagee, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee, Paula White. No different just different level in life but in God's eyes they all on the same worshipping a man. And to the rich read about the rich man that went to hell, and about the rich man that built his barn. We only make them strong they can only do what we allowed them to do. There are more good in this country than those evil people. I hear a man say you can take 100 evil people and make millions fall in line and do what they say because they fear what the evil people can do. One thing I do know for sure God and me are enough... but God and me and millions more of children we will do just fine in the next two years and more.

This is your Captain speaking . Welcome on board your Con Air flight to\n Bogota....! ??

Weren’t the people of Columbia rioting crying because of petro ? A rigged corruption election .. he speaks as he was actually elected by his people then he tweets back to Trump about freedom in Colombia … I thought they came to the USA and were seeking asylum can’t even make this up .. CNN is so lost .. u think the world is that dumb

Canadian speaking: The Americans might find their early victories bitter-sweet once the emotional bank of the rest of the world has been exhausted and there's no goodwill left for the isolated U.S.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.\n\nThen they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.\n\nThen they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.\n\nThen they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.\n\n—Martin Niemöller

CNN liars speak. Still don’t trust u people

Holy Mother hears others speak on holy ground, APL LOGISTICS & Dow Global sheep are in the spirit to raise a banner- \nSTRIKE! \nIT'S MY LIFE!

He's out president reporter needs to acknowledge this when speaking about president Trump

Are these deported people being returned to home countries or simply countries that speak the same language

US can absorb 25%- 50% retaliation Tariffs but How Colombia absorb 25%- 25% Tariffs?\nEconomically speaking they will collapse.\n\nUS has leverage in buying those goods in Vietnam or the Pacific or Argentina

Trump is sending Don Jr. to speak to the Columbians. He deals with Columbians all the time, ask his nose...?
