Your number one concern as a member of the untied states armed forces is the safety of American lands and its citizens. If you go around telling people you are transgender, gay, straight…that in a sense becomes your number one concern. And people will see it! Keep it to yourself and you be fine. I think we got to the point with some transgender activist in the military is they became activist in the military. Instead of doing their job! Will anyone on cnn talk about that nope. Just poor they them cant express themselves at their job the way they want to.

We are finally taking care of our own?‍♀️. Cannot believe we spend millions of dollars on people that are not citizens of this country?‍♀️?. But tax, abuse, and mistreat our own citizens. America was the stupidest, illogical place ever. Our citizens are in debt from trying to better themselves from a country they are born, and raised in. Yet before you help them, you help an outsider before you help your own who is poor, and starving citizens, crying out for help, and many who are homeless, and starving in their own county! How backwards ?‍♀️?. Glad we are finally telling countries to take care of their own, and we will take care our own. You wouldn’t expect anyone to take care of your children, it is your responsibility. The same goes for citizens. We shouldn’t be funding everyone else life, and investing in them , while our own are hurting, and starving. Before you support freeloaders, look into your own life, and see if it’s something you need. It’s finally time we are focusing on our citizens, and trying to meet their needs. They are our responsibility. We should have never taken the focus off of them. Let that country take care of their responsibilities, and we take care of our because our citizens need help. There should never be a homeless, or starving American with all the money we give to other counties, instead of meeting our own needs. Take care of your own backyard first, and let them take care of theirs. It is their responsibility to take care of their own, and ours to take care of our citizens.

Hey! CNN, it's about time the liberal media stops lying about trump and his policies. TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE TRUTH.

It dehumanizes them. I am a conservative and I can tell you now. TRUMP is not a conservative. He is a populist nationalist who uses the imagery of the Reagans, almost like dress up. He makes people hyper focus on cultural issues such a transgenders and immigrants, so that you do not focus on him building a freaking oligarchy authoritarian regime that is breaking down the democracy of your country. He only rewards the elite loyal friends. He is building a protective wall of billionaires who are leading AI technology. He only awards the wealthy. Instead of the Jews he is focusing on Transgender people. He's not infaltrating education. He divides Americans. John McCain warned about his plans for years, the last years o his life he was warning people what Trump was up to, he saw right through Trump and that is why trump would say offensive things about McCain.

I’m Mexican American and voted for this it’s time the Democrats start to tell the truth , it’s not about race it’s about accountability and doing things the right way , Thank you president Trump ?? MAGA ??

This is very big deal for Trump, Deportations of Africans Citizens in America ,Africa is better,And i tell you ,believes on not,Americans living in Africa can attest that.

But when the come here all they do is talk about Mexico and wave their damn Mexican flags and tell us how this is their land. Look at them crying now!! Your free ride is over!! If you love your country that much why are you fleeing it to come here?I have yet to see a Mexican wave the American flag and learn to speak English and assimilate to AMERICAN culture! Time to go back home now!

Lol not a single one got through lol!!!!?\nThere's plenty of Americans who need government assistance too like wic, ebt cards, housing etc. Tell em to F OFF WE'RE FULL!

Hey CNN let me me tell you something that's not so secret that you assholes refused to accept no one wants to see a man in a ring beating the hell out of a woman no one wants open borders what don't you assholes get about it you were going to file chapter 11 defending things that make no sense at all to the majority of Americans

Trump Don’t punish Americans for the illegal stealing all the money , shelter and Resources HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE , cutting of ebt / food stamps ….BEFORE GETTING ALL THE ILLEGALS OUT , all these illegals are still LAYING IN SHELTER BEDS AND GETTING FOOD STAMPS, why single American mothers and kids and elderly and veterans and disabled people starve and freeze on side of road , call ur local hotline pretend ur homeless IF UR AMERICAN THEY GONNA TELL U , sorry no shelter available and put u on waiting list AS THEY CONT TO STILL SHELTER ILLEGALS, this is totally messed up !!!!!! GET ALL THESE ILLEGALS OUT AND GIVE THAT AID TO AMERICANS!!!! Why should WE suffer bc LAST ADMINISTRATION GAVE BILLIONS TO FAKE ASSYLUM SEEKERS????

Yet, We as Americans are supposed to feel sorry for them as they are being deported out of the USA …. Media telling us they are not illegals, not violent….. they look illegal and violent to me…. They need to come here legally and through the court system and get Citizenship.

This should tell you right\nOff, they are out to take\nSteal , spit, hurt, no matter\nWhat to force to what they\nDemand. No respect, \nPluse all the free stuff\nThey were giving them\nUsing our tax money. Screw\nThe Americans, just\nThe Biden government \nIs there savor. They are\nHooked, some will never\nGive those free things up. \nI pray for them to wake\nUp. It's now over, \nThere's a new President \nIn America.. go home....\nAnd make there country\nGreat now..

Imagine someone telling you to just let them in your home. \n\nI pray more people understand that it is not that Americans don’t want to help, it’s just we need to help ourselves and our families first. We have huge issues within and we can not be flooded with more problems.

You would figure someone would tell Tump what happened to William McKinley the 25th President of the United States when he imposed tariffs on the American people.

DEMOCRATS ARE TELLING THEM TO NOT STOP TO FIGHT BECAUSE AMERICAN'S ARE WEAK

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

? lmao is there finally someone standing up to trump. Hahahaha. Trump is getting humbled by other countries. Because we America can't ?what a darn moron. Tariffs cost America alot more money on goods when those countries just bring up the price for Americans so they can pay those tarrifs. It's been proven already with Mexico.a civic built in Mexico use to cost Americans 20k now its up to 40k because of dumb ass donald bringing tariffs. Bro no one cares about your threats trump there just empty when those countries tell u go f yourself. What a darn idiot.this is what you voted for ?

Migrants from China lol... anyone who has been to China would know immediately that the Chinese are more than fine , they are not fleeing the mainland, they believe in their country just as the USA believes in their country, common guys don't do this, just say it how it is , the American people deserve at least that, they have had enough of being in the dark ? tell them the truth

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

Invade their airspace and have the migrants parachute back into their nations. What does that tell you if these unstable Latin American nations refuse their own citizens?

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

Please tell this idiot the F’ing American people pay the tariffs!!!

? u guys haven't changed. F Colombia and anything from Columbia Americans don't need or want their products! CONSUMERS DON'T CARE! and they don't have a monopoly on bananas lol. America is back and we don't want these socialist communist countries products. And that goes for China. They don't have a monopoly to tell us what they will n won't do! We tell them what we'll accept. Don't like it? Too bad SO SAD! Get a clue CNN

Who the fuck does Trump think he is?I hope every Sth American country tells him to fuck off.Whats he going to do.Take on the world?

American consumers pay the tariffs. The companies pay the import tax and then pass the cost to the consumer. Why do people try to manipulate and tell folks something different.

Trump is such an idiot!!! Coffee and other items prices will shoot through the roof ?. He is a sick man that is abnormal. I hope colombia joins the BRICS organization on trading. So trump can then jack up the tariffs to 100% as he is doing to the BRICS partners. That organization will have their own trade and currency! The dollar value is due to drop drastically due to the universal currency that they will rather use. Cuba was the latest to jump on board. Now 56 % of the population will get their traded goods through this organization. I predict Canada to be the next one to jump on board. Trumps mental disorder is isolating America, and has lost the American influence. He treats this situation as it were his business. We all know how many bankruptcies he has had! And no one around him has the balls to tell him that he is wrong! Because he hand picked them to do his malicious works. USA is failing the customer will pay the price on all these tariffs. He still hasn't brought down the prices of eggs yet, what a liar! Hold on to your seats and I hope that we can survive at least until the midterm elections so that he can be impeached! The guy is not all there!!!

He is an IDIOT! Could someone tell him that tariffs cost Americans!!!\nIt doesn't affect the countries that Trump thinks he is punishing.\n\nCOUNTRIES ARE LAUGHING AT HIM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR ANERICANS TO LIVE!\n\nTrump thinks he's being a tough guy. Wow 25% up to 50% against the countries. WRONG STABLE GENIUS WE, AMERICAN PEOPLE, PAY THAT 25% TARIFFS.\n\nCan someone send him a book explaining who actually pay tariffs!!!!

REVENUE DOESN'T THIS MAN KNOW THAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY THESE TARIFFS ??WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE ACTUALLY TELL DONALD TRUMP TO WAKE THE HELL UP!!!??

I tell you now.... \nHes already making the American people suffer \n\nColombia probably end up with brics\n\nStupid...\n\nI swear ... Trump \nIs Nero all over again \nHe's gonna burn down his own kingdom

This is why CNN is failing. Tell it like it is. The title of the video should be Trump hits Americans with additional tarrifs on Columbian imports.

I wonder what media outlet has been telling them that it is ok for them to come into illegally and the American people will take care of them? Who has been hounding a person who wants to keep US citizens safe and housed? I think it is you CNN!

In the us they are lying about the immigrants are doing jobs Americans don’t want. The lies they tell!!! The jobs want to hire immigrants to pay them less money. Lots of jobs are lowering the starting pay and hiring immigrants. Some jobs aren’t hiring Americans. A lot of jobs are laying people off and I know it’s to hire immigrants

Someone should tell them we the American people are tired of this\nDid they not get the message that we are not giving them everything free again?\nThey’re gonna come into this country with nothing and then rob us because we’re not gonna give them anything so wrong they don’t need to be here \nJust saying

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money

That's funny, a German news agency telling Americans how to treat people. I guess you've forgotten your history.

Its sad when your family members are hit by cars driven by illigals with no vehicle insurance, and the illigals walk away with no cosiquences , they are breaking our laws. Stop giving us all their stories, tell the stories of the americans that were hurt by illigals.

As a Canadian we are NOT the friendliest I have been in USA and I’ve met more nicer people here than in Canada.\nIn Canada there’s this “we are better than Americans” or “at least we aren’t American”.\nBut, really no Canadian has ever talked to me in the line at Safeway to ask how my day is going or a waitress hug me at ihop (that was odd I’ll give you that) but never in Canada have I had people genuinely be nice.\nThat whole “Americans” are rude is a lie that Canadians tell ourselves.

American's are not well liked around the world. I have been to a few countries and when I'm asked if I'm American, I tell them I'm Canadian. Their attitudes change toward me immediately. Until then, they don't really give much respect or treat me very well. This is very unfortunate and says a lot about American's.

⁠”Black” Indigenous Americans are wealthier than these Indian Immigrants. You people use OLD FAKE data which FAILS to include the HIGH incomes, wealth, net worth, LAND and properties of “Black” Indigenous American Sportsmen and women (millionaires and billionaires) along with “Black” Indigenous American Celebrities (millionaires and billionaires) along with “Black” American Business Owners and CEOs, “Black” American Doctors, Lawyers, Judges, Politicians, Leaders, Pastors, Activists, Teachers, Authors, Scientists, Singers, Actors, Actresses, Dancers, Performers, Comedians, etc. You looked on the (Du@MB) Internet and took “OLD” out-dated, FAKE and racists data of “ Black” American wealth at $53,000 per year And even less for women?? Your data SUCKS because OUR TOP “Black” Indigenous American’s WEALTH, completely CRUSHES Indian Immigrant”s cheaply earned “tech” wealth! Our “Black” Indigenous American Football and Basketball Players make more than your ENTIRE Indian Immigrant population wealth! \n\nBTW….Your “Black” Indigenous American US Census population data is FAKE also….OUR US Population is greater than (>42%), while the LEGAL Indian/Asian Immigrant US Population is less than (<5%). \n\nIt BUGS me when FOREIGNERS come to OUR “Black” Indigenous American country and try to tell Us OUR AMERICAN HISTORY! We have HISTORICAL RECORDS, FAMILY GENEALOGY TRACKING AND INDIGENOUS AMERICAN DNA! \n\n\nPlease include your IMPOVERISHED fellow Indian-Countrymen when you’re BRAGGING about your UNDERPAID “Tech” hourly wages (with ZERO benefits).

Jesus Christ and his parents was immigrants when God told them to flee to Egypt because King Herod was gonna kill Jesus. Good thing Egypt didn't deny Joseph & Mary and Jesus to not come into their country. Today immigrants are asking other immigrants to leave. Will the real owners, Native American tell the land stealing theives that God own the earth and you immigrants have not been paying your tithes and offering. God created the Heaven and Earth. And man been given a less than a 120 years lease and you have polluted the land etc. Repeat after me God is the owner of Heaven and Earth.

Takes a American wit sanity to tell the Canadian govt how inept they are.

canadians do not want usa traffic either. i do understand what tom homan is saying, but they have no business telling canadians what to do. did not realize that there was actually 2 way illegal traffic both ways. i need to see the stats. on that, since the s. border is being looked after already by mexico. cooperation is one thing...bullying is quite another. i do believe that canada has terrorists & both borders need to be addressed. canadians do NOT want americans crossing illegal borders. thanyou mr. homan for being decent about this.

Living with Americans for five years I really saw the differences. One is they will tell you their life stories within minutes of meeting them!

Go ahead and put 25% tariff.??? americans are crying about inflation now.? You will def find out soon how your savings will be gone. I have bn to mexico this year and I can tell you that mexico will become a lot better.\nCheaper food, financial assistance to elders, better economy, better pay and cheap living. NOT IN THE U.S.

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

You can tell by the comments many Americans, specially Trumpers are so clueless & obviously dont read or bother knowing how things work. Truly poorly educated ?

Why doesn't CNN talk about how tariffs raise prices for Americans??? Seriously, a lot of the problems we are facing now, is because media like CNN, isn't telling what exactly this stuff does, they normalize and that's why Americans are unaware of what tariffs really do. Also, Mexico has said they'll deport Americans that are there as well.

Everyone here hates Canada, it’s so sad to see, I’m an American who used to live in Compton USA, and let me tell you the gang violence was very real my uncle Rick was killed by a drive by incident while buying a pack of cigarettes and he wasn’t even the target. He walked right into a gang war, because of this we left and moved to Canada, best decision of my life because now I live in Mississauga, and here I don’t have to worry about the gang violence and drive by shootings, I can raise my two girls here in safety. I love America and I am a proud American but I would never ever want to live there after everything me and my family went through. F*%c that. I’m happy living in Canada. Best country in the world. But that’s just my opinion. You don’t have agree with me

As an American, I can tell you the primary factor for many has been the cost of caring for the illegal aliens. A large number are receiving social services benefits greater than Americans in need, which has led to resentment.\n\nIn addition, some have argued (often disingenuously) that deporting illegals will help relieve our affordable housing crisis.\n\nAs the son of a (Finnish) immigrant, I'm 100% for legal immigration. However, one has to question the wisdom of accepting those whose first act on American soil is to commit a felony.

As a Mexican American woman and was born and raised here in the US, her accent tells me she’ll be deported too. Trump said he would deport people that legalized here too, I guarantee she was not born here.
