I live in germany and grew up here. I know racism since school. Even I have a German passport and speak fluently german, I will still be an immigrant for them. I have problems to find a good job. They always choose germans with blond hair and blue eyes over me. We immigrants know that they treat us differently. As always. I want to move away from this country.

Lower prices?! Of course that would be nice. Economically speaking, that means that a vast number of people want deflation. It could work in an economy not dependent on excess and consumerism, but the US economy is propped up on speculation and buying out of want rather than need. Deflation is considered an economic failure in this country. We target 2% inflation for fear that without it, people will buy less now and then there will be a downward correction on output and then jobs. \nIn any case, broad tariffs won’t be the answer to lower prices. A global economy is an efficient one, but often unfair or unkind in specific localities. The US has benefited from globalization and low cost labor elsewhere for decades. But the pendulum swung too far and now many Americans are feeling left behind. Tariffs could bring back jobs but on a 5 to 10 year timeline, not one 4-year presidential term, much less in a year.

The problem with here is also with Khalistan issue (of course not all Punjabis there want Khalistan and are absolutely chill people and people here in India, Punjabis, also don't want Khalistan, I have some close friends who are Sikh and are most Dildaar, Big-hearted, people I know). A lot of extremist groups which want, Khalistan ARE supported and protected by the Canadian government especially by Justin Trudeau and these people are committing nothing but violence and terrorism in the name of free speech. Indian government has issued many extradition requests, but the Trudeau government has done nothing about it and has protected these extremists. Over the years Indian government has warned Canadian government about this issue constantly and after years of housing these Canadian terrorists (because Canada calls them their citizens and protects them, what else can be the correct term for them and nothing like Khalistan exists) they've started to cause problems for the people already living there (like the terrorists Pakistan was housing are causing problems to them). They know they are not gonna get a Khalistan in India so where else are they gonna build it? Voila! Canada! This is the reason behind them not assimilating with the existing culture.Trudeau has even gone to lengths of calling Amit Shah (Home minister of India) and PM Modi (if you don't know what the heck are you doing here go study geopolitics a bit) unalivers of Hardeepsingh Nijjar WITHOUT any evidence (they just keep saying they have it but have shown nothing till now) and because of which Canada has worsened its relations with the Indian Government. They are even comparing India with the likes of North Korea in terms of threat. Indian Government in reply is giving Canada the same treatment it gives to Pakistan (a bit better of course, but the diplomacy has gone to sh it. And the reason why Trudeau is doing all this, yeah VOTES for sh itty domestic politics he's sacrificing long term GOOD relations with the Indian Government. Now, you may think that worsening relations with India is a good thing for Canada, yeah no, its not good because India has trade relations with Canada which may worsen due to this (yeah, great going for an economy which is already in shambles) and UK or US are not gonna do anything to India over Canada because India geopolitically has more significance than Canada (I'm not bragging, please don't misunderstand). This rant has gone to a very different tangent but yeah a lot of problems Canada is having is mainly due to their government. Any of Canadian friends (I have not reason to hate you) and Punjabi brothers/sisters (Yeah, unless you are some sh itty extremist you are a brother/sister to me) please don't take this offensively. Peace.

I'm a US citizen living in Honduras. I'm sorry, because this is unrelated, but I want to let people know..... Today I was condemned to fight cancer alone. When my cancer was discovered for the first time, it was because I had seizures. Because of this, I can't drive. Because I can't drive, I can't get a decent job in The US. For a spousal visa, you need to have a certain amount of money. I don't have it. No matter that we have it together - being the citizen, that responsibility is solely on me. A humanitarian visa is $730, and only good for one use. We can't afford that. We went for a tourist visa, with a emergency appointment. They approved the emergency appointment, then promptly denied my husband's visa, without even asking him WHY he wanted to go to The US. Fighting cancer alone is exhausting. Why is that not a good enough reason for my husband to go to The US with me? Only for my appointments. Why is that not good enough? I guess he'll meet my family at my funeral, but not before.

If they don’t take care of the cartel, their drugs goes to show you they’re sold out to the cartels and they say it’s Trump‘s problem and send the US military thank you forces to take out every cartel in Mexico New Mexico favor we got over 300,000 missing children from our southern border The cartels dropped them off at our border. Some of them went into sex trafficking. Someone went into slavery I don’t wanna talk about what happens to the others just children a lot of them where Guatemalan after Kamala Harris with Guatemala Guatemala radio was telling kids how to get to America I wish people would study into what exactly going on in our country instead of leaving the propaganda resent our kids off to college to be a doctorate by college professors to believe is the right way to go things are gonna change and change your abruptly. We’re going back to the constitutional Republic, the deep state, a.k.a. the corporation one world order is getting out of Dodge. I just hope they leave quietly and there’s no lost life by pushing Putin into doing something stupid and vaporizing, cities and country folks dying of slow death of radiation for evening Joe Biden said he would do everything in his power to keep Trump out of the lighthouse Jamie Raskin wanted to talk democrat said he would rather create a civil war to keep Donald Trump out of life. The red and Chuck Schumer has almost cost us the life of the Supreme Court, Justice woke his no more and I can’t wait for the new beginning to start.

The US don’t need these people because they have been nothing but troublemakers in the US. They are trying to get in because Canada is chasing them out. We we don’t want you, go home. You are a burden.

As a Canadian I applaud the Mexican President. If the US wants tariffs. Canada and Mexico can impose tariffs on the US too. ??

CNN NEWS - YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR STATION HAS NOTHING GOOD TO BRING TO AMERICA BECAUSE YOU DEMONSTRATED TO ALL OF US THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT ALL YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WELL (FOR MONEY) IS TO BRING TO US HATE, CHAOS, DRAMA, LIES, BIAS REPORTING AND DIVISION. SO DO US ALL A FAVOR.............................STAY AWAY FROM TRUMP'S AGENDA TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN......................... WE SIMPLY DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE, YOUR INTERVENTION ON ANYTHING AND MUCH LESS YOUR ATTACK AGENDA TO THOSE WHO WANT TO BRING GOOD AND HELATHY THINGS TO OUR NATION. HIPOCRATS...

If US want tariff, mexico is no match to US. Mexico would tank right up when it play against US. Look at china now when US pull out. Trump only need mexico to stop the illegal and do some show and you will be safe from Tariff. Trying to act tough is not going to do wonder to mexico.

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

I'm old. You know how I know that for sure? I remember Laugh-in and I keep hearing Sock-It-To-Me, Sock-It-To-Me, Sock-It-To-Me. Tariff's arent' going to strengthen our trade negotiations with China. Quite the opposite. They'll just cut a better import deal with other countries. And it's not COUNTRIES that are ripping us off - it's CORPORATIONS. Trump wants you to believe it is countries so he can give tax cuts to corporations and dumb people won't know how badly that is screwing us over. It's like 'Over here is the REAL evil', not over there! Trust me! I'm your protector!!'

The US is much more economically stronger than Mexico so the US would prevail. Also, what case does Mexico have? They don’t want to stop drugs or illegal entry into US? This will piss off Americans and they will vacation elsewhere- Mexico would not be able to weather a decrease in tourism or stopping the flow of American dollars sent home from illegal immigrants.

We have a lot of farm land and rivers and oceans on both sides we should not allow anything coming in why are we making other countries rich and make our medicines we need to build hotter refineries to my synthetic resources and products so we are not slaves or dependant on any country so we can start reopening our factories and any company getting other countries to make their products kick them out and send them to that country its now america first and only the hell with the world and we if we want to trade we trade in our hemisphere and if they get their products from the other hemispheres we can them and not allow to enter if you want to trade making us American slaves then move to that hemisphere you traitors we must become fully self sufficient and independent depending on no other country for resources and parts and products and medical equipment and medicines and fuel and oil in case of world war and a catastrophy and plaque and anything

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.

It's called initial posturing. Mexico's done it before but they caved in big time and gave Trump what he wanted. The last thing Mexico wants is 25% tariffs on the goods they sell to the US.

Simple solution if you guys don't like this, don't trade with America. Us here in Australia will. But if the U.S. ain't good enough for you guys to trade with, don't be trying to trade with us down here in Australia. Our natural resources are for those we deem worthy, and if the U.S. isn't trading with you, you ain't worth our time. We can make trillions without you guys, by all means, go trade with China, they won't want anything, except for big chunks of land and big chunks of natural resources.

Let him make sure he doesn't violate Mexico's territorial integrity,they don't even fear their own Army,mind you half of the belonged to them,you don't wanna stir that hornets' nest,Latin America loves The US,you don't want open up that pandora's box...

Biden and Harris made a mess at the border and of course the hard-core liberal Mexican president wants to continue with the US border being open for illeggals. Trump is going to fix it like it or not. That is why the democrats lost badly not by a little but by a lot.??

If tariffs costs are not paid by the country they're placed on, then why would she care? It doesn't affect Mexico, it affects the US, so why not just say, go ahead you're not gonna hurt us in anyway and it's not gonna stop migrants or Americans from carrying drugs over the border. Trump needs to look at our laws if he wants to stop Americans from being drug mules..

People don't understand, when we buy their goods it grew their economy because our currency is higher then the rest of the world, if they want to buy from us they spend millions on it that is why they trade with Chinese in buying. Currently, they spend their money on cheap fake good that lasted only for a mouth or weeks from China. \nShe thinks she can grew our economy with their little money. It's time we forecast on our farmers instead of this so called traitors who buys Chinese good and sell their product to us

America has an insatiable demand for drugs and cheap labor while having the audacity to blame everyone else for those problems. Mexico should shrug and let China build what it wants in response. Why leverage your economic future on an unstable US ally who flips personalities every election?

I want to hear the lady from Mexico one year from now tell us what she is going to do .

Whatever, look at the condition all these well spoken elite leaders have put us in. The election shows everyone wanted something different.

Good luck US you wanted this lunatic now enjoy the fruits

Trump is making enemies with our allies! And if he removes the United States from nato, be will just isolate the United States ?? making us weak! Thats exactly what putin wants! Trump is not trying to benefit the United States! Trump is just trying to benefit himself financially! I dont trust trump! I dont like trump! And i know he doesn't have the United States in his best interest! Trump will destroy the United States from the inside out just like he does to all his corporations! People say he's a great business man? Well all of his businesses have mostly gone bankrupt!!

It’s the American people that will be paying tariff… not Mexico, why do they care. If USA not buying them, they’ll just make the deal somewhere else and then increase the price when US wants to deal again.

These countries believe the weaker we are, the more life they can suck out of us. It’s wrong. They intentionally want to hurt us. Time for all of us to tighten our belts. They are poisoning us, they are poisoning our children. Allowing terrorists in. Allowing rapists in who rape and murder our daughters. Tariffs shouldn’t even be a question. The first question we should all ask before each Tarif should be, what’s the price of life? What’s the price of life for each innocent American they have “Indirectly” killed?

trompas only see one thing, mexicans are awake, and we see everything, and since, trompas wants to talk about , getting ripeoff, check this out, it goes like this.,!! estados unidos mexicanos, oaxaca, estado soverano de mexico, , was first , then united state of america, now who is the ripeoff, _________, there is only one civilization with a culture and is not US ., so i call it USAR of mexico.? , so trompas tariff this nuts while you re at it? , lets not forget the sence of humo, ???? nuts,?????

The majority of countries hate the US, Trump wants to make sure the rest of the world hates them too. Trump still thinks Russia is the only friend it needs, I got news for you MAGA nut jobs, Russia hates America too.

We would be on deep ? if Mexico just let everyone that wanted to cross the border into the US. You have to work with other countries, especially the ones that you share a border with.

When he almost said 79% want higher prices....he was close. 49% have basically voted for us all to get higher prices but refuse to realize it.

this is becoming suicidal! ...Americans will pay the price of their idiotic vote! installing recipe for misery on your own allies and people..oh wait the people wanted it! at this point, putin would nuke America and some of us would clap!, its how far empathy is for Americans as we will all pay and only trump and his ogliarchs will cash in... frustrations are running high, we got screwed by the gullible

Mexico didn't take American jobs, American companies wanted cheaper labor and cheaper taxes and built their factories in Mexico. Mexico didn't build their factories in the US. They have it ass backwards!

Mexico president is weak. She’s going to learn the hard way.? eventually she will bend and give Trump what he wants? the updated news is saying that Mexico’s president states, the migrant caravan will not reach the US Mexico border?

Trump wants to isolate the US and become like Russia.

Canada is not a great country. Indians think they're going to come here and strike gold. The truth is Canada is a shell of what it used to be. If Indians want what made Canada and the USA great, then turn to the God of the bible. Prophecy tells us we're near the end of the rope. If you turn to Jesus today, you will be successful in everything you do, no matter where you live. Time is short. God bless India.

It's time for us to take our country back and then people from other countries want to come here they need to come the right way we need to bring the Love Back to America

If you want to see immigration reform join us at Liberal Party USA! ?? ? We are the ONLY unapologetically pro-immigration political party!

Boy, some people would cut off their nose to spite their face. Let's hope your doctor is not an immigrant that gets deported. You want the immigrants gone, yet you whine about the wait time for doctors and medical services, many of which are provided by new comers to Canada and the United States. Canada and the US do not have a monopoly on brilliant people. They exist in every country around the world. To not recognize that does everyone a great disservice.

The American people want the invaders out. Reducing their burden on the US will instantly fix many problems we currently have

So.. lets be clear.\n\nThe amount of administration that would be needed is insane. Trump suggested he wanted to remove legal migrants as well as people who were in the US when born but their parents arent mirgants. \n\nIt would be unprecedented level of moving people and would likely result in huge amounts of death and rape. \n\nThen while I find a worse argument the economy would collapse. A lot of illegal immigrants do work under horrific conditions, still pay tax, and get paid less than minium wage. \n\nWe saw this in florida.\n\nIf this goes ahead which I think it is reasonable to suggest it will not. A lot of people will die and literally no one stands to benefit

Why would anyone in the right state of mind would want to go to Canada . US is way better option.

Loggers? Please tell me you're joking...this is gut wrenching to even see...we are monetising these powerful, self actualised people who want nothing to do with us...instinctively, they know that truth.

CA alligned with US, lol, no, Trumb doesn't want mass invasion of US while turd overwhelms the country with third world

I just see many illegal immigrants wanting to live in the US but not be part of it like learning the language and american customs. That makes me feel that my sympathy is being taken advantage of.

Like why us, this pisses me off to watch, we’re more educated than these people but they won’t give us good jobs, they only give us the jobs that they don’t want to do and we still get treated like this, it’s not fair man

So sad that we are here again. Scapegoat immigrants all you want but no number of deportations is going to undo an economic system rigged against you, which continues to siphon off an increasing amount of our collective resources at the detriment of our society. The rich and powerful are laughing at us, as we misdirect our anger at those exploited just as much, if not more, than we are.

if ye really want to solve the migration issue the first step should be to repel the 14th amendment.\nAs long as US citizenship is granted based on the principle of Jus Soli rather then on the more common jus sanguinis immigration will remain an unsolverble problem

We don’t want Trump to ever visit us here and Country,

The US went from 90% white to 55% white in just a few decades. No wonder people want to end this.\nAlso, it should be common sense that if you want to live there, you need to get a visa.
