It is a crime to enter any country illegally. I knew a girl that came into Canada illegally and she was arrested and thrown into jail with all the criminals and then deported. Why are these journalists acting like Trump is doing something wrong

Germany needs a Trump like politician

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

I just love it,,, i mean i just love it when we get a reality check,, i have been to 20 countries for studies, for work and as a toursit , i didnt face any visa rejection (maybe bcos my documents and funds were good) but boy o boy i just saw the behaviour of mostly hindi belt guys who go to Visa free countries like malaysia, bali, thailand and what horrible behaviour, they will spit around, drink pass lewid comments on foreigners and local ladies, try to bargain it was such an embarrassment, there were people chanting religious slogans near burj khalifa making reels, recently i visited georgia and some gujrati family was asking for seperate vegetarian cooked meals in an authentic georgian restaurant,, they were talking like they owned that place.\n\nI left india for studies in 2000 and came back in 2013, but during this time the indians were well behaved abroad and followed the rules,, maybe post smartphone era and the so called Godi media all have got a false feeling that we have become some vishwaguru just look at our comments on any videos on youtube instagram which are critical of us.\nThere was a news on one Lapdog Godi channel that Trump is crying infront of our PM that we help him in LA fires,, such shameless and bigoted lies will make any dimwit person think we are the greatest,\nIts high time we should start retrospecting our online as well as social behaviour.

Trump will fix this. He will show the world how you do a mass deportation. Illegal, is illegal, doesn't matter where you come from. He will be indiscriminate. Meaning they are all in the same boat. A man whose only intention is to protect his country at any cost. Anyone who acts like this, in a foreign country, should be deported. If they are shown to be a risk, out. Islamaphobic is a made up word from islam. Created to make you look and feel, racist. Wake up and stand up.

Trump is such a dumbass. He thinks the tariffs will be paid by exporting countries like Mexico, China, and Canada. The Trump tariffs will be paid by American manufacturers and American consumers. Everything is about to become a lot more expensive in the US, especially with a 25% tariff on the 4.5 million barrels of oil Canada ships to the US every day. At best, inflation becomes a bigger problem, and Americans lose their jobs. At worst, Trump's tariffs cause a made in America recession.

Really I'm Sorry about your situations as it seems a lot of peoples whom like you. I Believe when the beautiful hidden arrangements of destiny which is always surprising the clean people like you. That is why ? US President Mr. Trump has rise the right decision at right the time to involving Canada under the USA authority as new American State for rehabilitation the miserable situations available at the Canadian Nation which shocking me personally. As long as I'm was always dreaming to continue my higher educations at Canadine Academies due to the positive feedback of the educational system at Canada ? considered as one of the best in World. But It doesn't reflect to the Canadian nation as it should be. Once More sorry again and I hope US government expediting something to emerging Canada under it's Wings as this step should be done since old time back ago.

Shes playing the puppet role like harris and biden do too. Shes a lying president mexico let caravans go through there country for a few years now and did nothing so now you want to say you do because Trump will tax you all good pay the tax .

Mr. Premier Ford, sounds like you need to get the rental system in your province under control before you worry about Mr. Trump!!!!

yes Canada is becoming too much like the US, I hope it gets more distance now that The orange Turd is in charge. TRUMP 1946-2025 ☠☠☠☠

Will it be wrong to say we need someone like Trump in Canada to help with immigration polices and reforms ?

Trump ITS going to be in the history of the united states like the first idiot to be president

Why mark or mart sound like trump must be a huge fan

Whoa! President Trump never ever banned Moslems from entering the United States. President Trump banned the entry of citizens from specific terrorist states which were likely majority Moslem. The assertion that the ban was based on religion was a political grift promoted by the Democrat Power.

?hate and discontent. Sounds like trump. Not appealing

Getting same problem in uk least Trump is doing something not like the fool in power in the uk.If u dont do something now u funnished and us.

I can't help but feel there is a entirely biased narrative going on here the problem with the pandemic is that it left people who had some mental issues. I bet too much time on the internet and unfortunately fell down the rabbit hole of a lot of Russian push propaganda and that's what I'm feeling here. You're talking about taxes and not benefiting yet. I'm sure you've gone to the hospital several times and are not $300,000 in debt from a month stay the part of having benefits like that. + A decent social net is paying taxes you can look at the Philippines as a place that's as corrupt and remove social services and can see what happens there when there is a disaster. The only aid that comes in is through international charities or expats donating you'll be moving to Bulgaria and you'll notice that European taxes are pretty much on par with Canadians You're far too young to be buying into Trump russian-backed propagandab and I'm hoping with whatever's happened you personally and proves so your judgment can as well too. I wish you well Cheers

We do not need illegal migrants, temporary foreign workers like reported in Newfoundland saying immigrants are leaving Newfoundland well good we dont need them this Country like other countries around the world are flooded with immigrants \nWe should be really encouraging born and raised Newfoundlanders outside Newfoundland to come back home and preserve our culture and heritage we are an island and it's very important we embrace that rather then encouraging illegal migrants, temporary foreign workers, into the island,what I don't understand is how come we don't encourage people born and raised Christians from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, New Zealand, wouldn't that make more sense and again preserve our culture and heritage, and I would challenge anyone on that and it's only a matter of time our following will get bigger and more Newfoundlanders will agree ,pkus with Trump in power and soon to be Poliveier we should take a stand snd KEEP NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR STRONG!! Let the immigrants go abd think more about Newfoundlanders that are wanting to go back home and work take the miney the Liberal government gives to the immigrants and put it back in the the ecoyto create more jobs and housing, KEEP NEWFOUNDLAND &: LABRADOR STRONG \nGOD GAURD THEE NEWFOUNDLAND!!

Just a reminder to everyone, Canada is not in US and trump is not their prime minister. The person making fun of the delivery guy is most likely not white either

That is what I would expect the security detail watching over the president of China to do. \n\nUnlike our US Secret Service, watching an armed person laying on a rooftop, pointing his rifle at President Trump, and firing off multiple shots before Secret Service reacts by shooting back. \n\nWe live in trouble times, where what it is and what it can be made to look like are very different, and the latter can be much more persuasive. Especially when the propaganda machine, aka mainstream American media CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS,...

the people who are leaving should leave immediately Canada has no jobs no affordable housing and offers nothing and I am saying confidently zero zilch even in bigger urban center's like gta and forget about it completely in other areas outside like n.b pei zero acceptance and zero jobs only white people who are increasingly weary of Indians bringing their filthy culture of strong smells and questionable hygiene to the country stay out for ever no one is waiting with open arms crack down should be like how trump has promised for u.s

videos like this fooled a-lot of Hispanics to vote for trump

These are not trumps words videos like this fooled a-lot of Hispanics to vote for trump

Come on there are millions in Canada . Reported Trudeau to pay 686 million paid to house , electric bills, clothing , travel , medical, hotels, food ,etc. Trudeau better deport ALL from at least 7 years back to now . Like TRUMP IS DOING , THIS IS JUST A SMALL, SMALL PORTION , they all need to go .

Like it or hate it, but Trump is the very best thing that has happened to Canada ?? in a long time! Along with Pierre! ❤

Trump is helping solve CANADIAN problems and BEFORE he even takes power, officially. That is incredible. \n\n\nNow we just have to pray that he doesn’t actually increase those tariffs, and it is very likely that he will. Trump has been very consistent over the years about wanting higher tariffs with all of his trading partners. Getting control over our borders and preventing terrorists from entering the country will help reduce them but not all the way I don’t think. \n\nWe’ll see if that prediction is correct.

The difference between Trudeau and Trump is like the difference between the a leader of a country working for the country and a leader of a country believing that the country is working for him.

So some Dumb MAGAT (MakeAmericaGreatAgainTrump) doesn't like Canada immigration policies TFB! I'm amazed at all the dumb Trump supporters on here.

That means Mexican president has better strategi to solve the problem not speaking nonsense like Trump does

Trump should worry more about them drug lords here in the USA and them gun lords that are just living their lives like nothing is happening…trump likes to point fingers but he’s just a phony old fart that just sh!t’$ trough his mouth every time he speaks ?….

Look T the policy's Biden is pushing after they lost is crazy giving away money to his friends non profits trying selling the border wall putting a green energy policy in place that they are trying to Trump proof if you lose the election u shouldn't be allowed to do anything like that this country is broken and needs major reform. The democrats are literally like idc what the people want screw them wow what a kick in the face. They've been screwing the public for decades when's the last time are government wasn't against the poor and middle class just look at the stock market manipulation they change rules on the day to hurt people and change orders and halt stocks but allow backedup orders look at what they pulled with gamestop i cant believe the crsp I've seen these past years since cv19 and before that its blatant theft we can do anything at anytime for any reason that's communist worse actually cause at least the communist admit they are corrupt the lying crap is way worse no its not rigged no we ain't stealing well why did u rig it then and steal from people then why can't any politician explain why they are making 20 x there salary a year why don't they have to show where they got it from why does the irs not care why is the fbi stealing treasure finds from people and lying about it after they get caught why is it are whole country has turned to such garbage now dam straight we don't trust a bunch of lying crocks that literally get away with everything when we can't even get a a single thing its just so much its unreal I can go on and on while I'm talking im positive another politician just stole another 1 million dollars like its picking up a dollar off the ground

I’ve held my tongue on this long enough, but the writing’s on the wall — Canada is cooked.\n\nOur finance minister calls it a “vibecession”, as if we’re imagining the economy sputtering. But here’s the reality: GDP growth at 0.1%, per capita GDP down 0.5%, and youth unemployment at 13.5%.\n\nThere’s the recent bait-and-switch $250 stimulus cheque — an ill-disguised vote buying grift. It was scrapped when the government realized it would add $4.6 billion to an already projected $60 billion deficit. \n\nThrow in a two-month sales tax holiday announced without thinking about the logistics, leaving businesses scrambling. Some aren’t even participating because it’s not worth the headache.\n\nHousing starts are at a 10-year low, the housing accelerator fund has delivered zero new homes, housing prices have left wage growth in the dust, and immigration has blown past what our infrastructure can handle. \n\nMeanwhile, the CBSA isn’t bothering to track expired international student visas. After all, someone has to keep the for-profit diploma mills thriving and the service industry fully staffed.\n\nCanada Post is falling apart under strikes, crippling small businesses, and 47% of job growth in the last five years has come from the public sector while our capital markets and innovation stagnate. \n\nThe $CAD is currently plummeting against the $USD, as the Bank of Canada scrambles to firefight the government’s incompetence with two jumbo 0.5% interest rate cuts.\n\nAnd let’s not ignore the trade war brewing with our historical ally, the U.S.. Trump has made it clear he’ll punish our abysmal border policies, which have allowed fentanyl to flood into America unchecked, with a 25% tariff on Canadian exports.\n\nIf you’re trying to get ahead — building jobs, working for yourself, pooling capital to invest, why bother?— the proposed 66% capital gains inclusion rate over $250,000 punishes you for taking risks and succeeding.\n\nAsk yourself: are you happy with the state of Canada right now? Honestly. Because it doesn’t feel like the same country I grew up in, went to school in, worked in, served in, and built a business in.\n\nI’m done. For once in my life, I don’t want to be Canadian anymore.

Like Donald Trump MAGA group of people we should have MCGA Groups of Canadians, Makes Canada Great Again! K

She love trump but trump doesn't like her ????????????

Donald TRUMP is every day insulting and Spitting on the Prime Minister of CANADA Trudeau but looks like Canadian Main Focus is on Khalistanis Welfare ????

I think if he makes Canada and Mexico states this can stimulate the economy even more, this equals to more people traveling and spending money in USA. Trump is a good negotiator and good businessman, we need someone like that in the world, and Claudia is also a good negotiator as well, she can get paid too... We need some gold to build the Temple of God and USA has plenty of Gold, trading would bring this about... And he can negociate with other countries and of course, Mexico gov't and his Gov't would get paid too, for his work and services that sounds fair, and our people would get what they desire as well,as long as it is a good desire stipulated in psalm 37 and everyone involved wins...

Segregation never ending the criminals were here before the immigration even started Trump did didn’t seem to have a problem with the immigrants when they built his empower They’re the ones who worked without contracts without green cards and some never received any paid yep, let’s make America great again Go right back where we started hope you don’t like french fries to go with those burgers because who gonna work the fields to bring in the potatoes to make the french fries

To build the wall is realistic but to deport these people is not, one can take out 100 persons as a great resounding demo but it won’t do any good. The resources are not going to be well spent. Trump is smart but this is like his brother Fred. He wanted to fly planes, just let him. It’s ok not to be a tycoon in real estate. I take community college classes with these children, they are decent, hardworking and respectful people, they are a plus and a bonus to America, they were raised seeing the struggle of their parents.

This level of entitlement is getting annoying. We need a Trump-like approach in ramping up mass deportation ASAP! Trudeau's weak, stupid leadership caused all this!

And they claim it's the left that suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome? This woman is soooo Trump Deranged that, for him, she's willing to watch her own family with 20+ years of American roots be deported. It's no wonder they don't like her.

Canada is the best country in the world. If you don't like it move to Trump's USA.

Like trump said he loves the poor and uneducated.

Don't be so quick to speak so good about the new Mexican female president REMEMBER THAT IT'S GOVERNMENT IS VERY CORRUPT and evil always trys to portrait its self as good and nice. If there's weapon being sent to Mexico HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON AND WHY THE FREAK HAS BIDEN NOT BEEN ASKED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT SINCE HE OPENED THE BORDER!!!!!! NOW IT'S GOING TO BE THROWN AT TRUMP'S FACE LIKE IF THOUGH HE ALLOWED IT!!!

If PP has a brilliant idea how to do this, why doesn’t he reveal it??\nHe will only “save us” if he gets elected??\nLet me guess, like Trump on health care……..he has nothing!!

I am really frustrated that Americans seem to be ignoring this situation. Trump has cheated, and both he and Musk present a troubling example. It's hard to take America seriously when they are compared to Kamala. The election was compromised, and Trump is one of the worst offenders. If this continues, America will lose all its global respect. It's disheartening to see how Trump has managed to undermine 250 years of progress in such a short time, and the responsibility lies with those who voted for someone like him—a figure who has incited chaos and division. If he is given another chance at the presidency, it will reflect poorly on America, and it will result in lost cooperation from the international community.

Just Do As You Please Trump ,Just\nGo Into Mexico And Take Care Of\nBusiness Cartels\nAnd Immigration\nAre First Priority\nI Can See Now She\nIs Working With The Cartel's And \nShe Doesn't Want\nThe U.S. To Secure\nThe Border Because It Will Have A Serious\nAffect On The Cartel's Finance's\nIf She Refuses To\nBe Reasonable And\nStill Acting Like A\nTerrorist Sympathizer Than\nI Am Sure The U.S.\nWould Be More Than Happy To\nEscalate The Situation

Americans are themselves illegal immigrants, by Trump logic this continent belongs to native indians. Democracy failed in 2024 USA. Degenerate influences like Joe Rogan,Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones and Putin effectivelly brainwashing huge masses

Trump only knows how to issue threats like a convicted felon that he is.

In the end these 3 countries (Canada, Mexico and China) will do whatever is possible to control their borders, reduce Fentanyl & derivatives movement - basically give in to what Trump is aiming for just to maintain their own economies & interests. Its like the adults will give in to the tantrums of a spoiled brat in order to have a bit of peace and quiet. So in that way, despite the bully tactics and erroneous economic or diplomatic approaches, Trump will get what he wants!
