Hello smarty pants, why do you think they're called Illegal Aliens. ?

Why is your executive order? Should be elected officials that are making the laws is it because they don’t have any backbones. Or they think more of their jobs and their money they’re making.\nNever give up Jim Acosta, shame of seeing their stockholders and their supervisors and their management my opinion and I hope they read this

The fact they think they’re entitled and don’t have to go thru any process like everyone else is enraging.! Stop cutting corners and causing mass chaos wtf

Dummycrats think this country sucks. You would think they're would be Dummycrats at the border talking these people out of crossing

If they are that destitute, why are they laughing as they’re doing this??and why do they think , they have the right to bust into our home ? wonder what would happen, if a bunch of Americans would try to raid their borders ,and enter into their homeland. Probably get shot on site.

They already made it out of their country to Mexico what's wrong with staying there ? they think they can just come cry to us and we're going to let them in ??we don't know you

And I'm sure with some people coming across the border. There may be a sense of entitlement, but I would think for the majority, it's a sense of hope.\n I wish we could embrace every person. That is good coming across that border with open arms and tell them Hey, it's gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay for you and your family. But unfortunately we can't. It's a hard pill to swallow and it's a final thing to watch. People have to struggle that world is a very cruel place for some. And for others it could be very easy in a sense. I think sometimes we have to have empathy for other people. And if we don't have that we're never gonna grow as a human race. Color should never, ever be a barrier. Language should never be a barrier. The only barrier that we have is hatred and just evil people and good. That is, the barrier that we should be looking at if we ever want to grow into what God created us to be eyes need to be opened. These people aren't coming over here and take what we have. You're coming over here because they want something better for their lives. They have struggled most other lives. I'm sure they have seen death. Famine pestilence, things that we have never seen in this country. Our generation.\n S are spoiled when it comes to things like that. We have to open our eyes a little further broaden. Our horizons and take a look at the situation at hand and not be objective. Be like the men of old and what they were put on this Earth to do is solve problems. That's what men are good for solving problems. And that's what the men of this manner should solve the problems. Use your heads think we can find a solution.

I'm reading.\n Some of the comments. I know my opinion may not matter. But it may eh inside some people. I hope I guess the way that I would look at this is being in their shoes. It's completely different than ours. We are given opportunities from birth. Basically to common deer, the life that we would like to have well, at least most of us are. In the United States, people from degrading. Or degraded countries are not giving those opportunities. So I would imagine over the years. Any type of hope that they had for a great country is depleted. Solidarity in countries like that is not accepted it would be suppressed. It would be stormed on and smashed out by the you. See an opportunity to better your life and your children's life. And it's the fourth quarter and there's 2 seconds on the time clock. And you've only got one play to make. We all go for what the big hell, Mary and I think that's what these people are doing and God bless every one of them. That are good people. I feel sorry for this situation. I wish the world was a better place, but unfortunately it's not all we can do is pray for these individuals that hope that they find solace in what they're looking for. And we have to prefer ourselves also and pray that God takes care of our country.And theirs god bless everyone in this world

What's happening because they're trying to invade and they think they can do it

You're going to come here thinking we have golden roads and we don't. You'll end up living in gang infested neighborhoods, broke and now without the support of your family. Stay home. \nIt's not that great here.

They’re more fit for it than me. I was born a woman, still a woman, and I can promise you I wouldn’t set foot in the military bc I don’t trust the people running it. I don’t fully trust the govt. I appreciate ANYONE willing to be more brave than the rest of us in order to protect us. I think I’m going to thank them for their service & pray God is loving on them too. Bc contrary to what comments say- God loves them just the way they are.

They're trained to think it's okay to storm the border. Rude awakening. Yay!

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.

No need to make up a story about how cold it gets in Canada. It's nowhere near what you think and indicated like as if you were trying to chase people away from there. Get it right, don't just make up whatever you're trying to do to chase people away and then you pump up the good ol USA. Your narrator is exaggerating along with his wavering voice up and down on who's best.

Just imagine the time and money that has gone into training all these service people. And, you're going to cut them loose. Shows just how juvenile Trump is. You would think he wouldn't care who's risking their lives as long as it's not him.

We're not responsible for the world !! Take care of your own ! We owe you people nothing, no matter what Biden and the Democract party think !!!

I think the trans issue has a lot of complications that really don't need to play out in the military. I accept the body God gave me and I can't imagine what people go through who can't. It's concerning though that while they're fighting their internal fights it may project on to others. Just because this one man didn't doesnt mean everyone is like him. Should be a case by case basis and not a blanket policy.

As a retired Marine, we do not need transgender's in the military. He is a NOT a she, regardless of what it says. Don't ask, Don't tell was bad enough, but it worked because this type of immoral behavior wasn't blatant as it is now in our military. There are 2 sexes or genders just as GOD made them. They join the military thinking they will get free surgery. If you believe you re something different, it is perversion and nothing else. PRAISE and GLORIFY GOD in ALL YOU DO, that behavior does NOT PRAISE OR GLORIFY GOD!

Kind of a stupid argument to say that we’re at low levels of recruitment and then think that this somehow is going to hinder recruitment levels when people like this person being interviewed make up 0.000001 one percent of the overall population

I don’t think this is political this is a moral issue and somebody has to put a stop to it. Why do you wanna be a dude if you’re born a female? You can still serve this country in the gender God gave you.

Republicans are too obsessed with transgender... They're making me think about it way too much

Why would I want someone who’s mentally unstable enough to think they’re not their biological gender, who’s also undergoing hormone treatment to carry a weapon next to me in service to my country?

To think they used to lock people up for thinking they were God, JC or Napoleon. What's wrong with a man thinking he's a woman, or a kangaroo for that matter.\nAll it takes is a wig, some fake boobs and a little lipstick, and bingo. Wallace Berry is suddenly Marilyn Monroe.\nNow all you hafta do is re convince yourself after that wakeup call every time you go to the can.

Reading comments about transgender service people vs anti-vaxxers:\n\nBeing transgender doesn't increase the risk of spreading a powerful virus. This will not prevent service members from doing their job. \n\nNot having a vaccine greatly increases the probability of spreading a virus. This can prevent service members from doing job by needing to recover themselves or their close proximity loved ones. \n\nYou have no idea wtf you're actually thinking about when making these loose connections.

THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY THINK THEY'RE HOLIER THAN THOU AND THAT THE ? WORLD HAS TO BOW DOWN TO THEM BECAUSE SODOM AND GOMORRAH IS THEY WAY THANGZ SHOULD BE NOW=NOT!! WHAT ARE THEY GONNA WANT NEXT=TO SHUT CHURCHES DOWN AND HAVE THE HOLY BIBLE BANNED TOO=NOT ???

Do they think we really want that in our country they're not making it any easier for themselves come in the right way I'm sick of watching this nonsense unbelievable

Thank goodness for the Red Wave…so sick of them thinking that they’re entitled to use our tax dollars to pay for their medical expenses and house them. America first ??

As far as healthcare goes the US is a 3rd world country, where, only the rich can afford to see a doctor, or visit a hospital. You have thousands of people living on the streets, with NO help, or concern. America is no different than Bangladesh, or Ethiopia, for having a part of your society living on the street, begging for food, or money. When the US starts caring for ALL of it's people, regardless of skin color, race, or background, and give them a hand up, like most CIVILIZED societies do, you'll always be a 3rd world country. America had a chance to elect a president that would have turned America into a first world power with Kamala Harris, and Tim Waiz, but, you blew it, you re-elected the worst president, EVER with trump, who will finish the job of ruining America, and make it totally poverty-stricken. WOW, you'd think Americans are all millionaires, the way they turned out, for trump! Did NONE of you listen to what Kamala was offering? Because this half blind, mostly deaf old Canadian heard every word, her promise of a bottom-up building more opportunities for poor, and working class families, new taxes on the rich, and corporations to pay for it. Kamala offered a GREAT deal, a more secure future, more OPPORTUNITIES,,,,, And you all turned her down. You voted for a stalker and rapist, a traitor, and criminal, with multiple convictions, a liar, and cheat, trump. I guess you get what you deserve.

Wtf they think they’re gonna find here ? Even in the cheapest places, the wages are low in the US so you may be making 15 bucks an hour but it’s gonna cost you 1500 in rent. They need to understand coming here is not the answer.

I used to think it was all a bit exaggerated \nI’m not American and don’t overly care\n\nBut it does seem like Donald Trump is losing his mind and it would appear he’s dismantling the north American empire \n\nand as someone who’s never liked America’s supremacy, it should please me\nDunno why, but it doesn’t. It’s not because people got wise and evolved.\nIt’s like they’re devolving. Idk what’s going on.

If all these people could get together in their own country they can make a major difference why in the world do these people think we're supposed to babysit them place to live food to eat schooling medical surgery on the taxpayers dime

Do you think that you're going to be rewarded for saying that? in times of scarcity, due to the lack of workers, there will be no food production; only wealthy individuals will be able to stock up on food for themselves and their families, while the poor will be left with nothing.

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.

lol ? The comments seem to think we’re not enjoying this. Yes this is what we voted for, this is what we wanted! I’m happy!

Stop hating on other people suffering. If you idiots want to hate anyone hate on the billionaires who are hoarding wealth and refusing to raise the minimum wage and who are brainwashing you into thinking other people who are suffering are your enemy when they’re not.

You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

There have been migrations and pogroms throughout, even Biblical history. What did Trump think he could do differently, that all of humanity couldn't stop since ancient times ? Everyone who's reading this, is a product of migration, either recently or 500 or more years ago. What makes you think yhat you are that much more special than the recent migrants, that you are allowed in, but they're not. Even Jesus was a product of migration, and he lived in a land, conquered and occupied by Romans; they were migrants from Europe.

The Bonehead-in-Chief still thinks tariffs are a hammer. They're a boomerang.

CNN nobody thinks you’re credible anymore ???

We're seeing it because they think they're entitled to come on in uninvited.

Sir, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. There is no trade war\n\nWe are just sending their people back to their country

an example of how the foreign policy and immigration policies are colliding. It sounds more like they're converging together as a single cohesive policy. Do you think you can just turn everything around and that makes sense

Why should this surprise us? That’s what a convicted Felon who is president of the United States is going to do. He’s an authoritarian and he thinks everything needs to be done his way. Well now we’re going to pay the price here come the tariffs.

so we're all mostly in agreement here... WHAT A FUXING MORON!!!! does he really think that threatening tariffs is going to make the government accept immigrants??? I mean this is NEXT LEVEL STUPIDITY... as they would say in Latin countries.... QUE TONTISIMO!!

Columbia, they're your people. You'd deny the entrance of your own people? You SHOULD be sanctioned and tariff'd. And to you folks who think this means you're going to pay more? Don't buy those products. There's nothing that Columbia produces that we either can't get elsewhere, produce ourselves, or do without.

You're a real bad businessman trump, do you know how many businesses now will shut down because of coffee that will cost us instead of $4 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks it will now be 15 think about what you've done you really need to stay out of business because you suck at it

I have not seen one comment that thinks we should just let them come. We love pay check to pay check we are not going to support you any longer. You have phones clothing you’re well fed. What do you want from us? You’re not coming for us for needs you’re coming us for greed

Why Venezuela think they’re entitled to go to USA they have to fight for take maduro out , they are so young with no education or skills what they going to do .Sorry

Why do these bottom feeders think they can just barge into our country? They have no rights. They don't belong here, we don't want them here. They have nothing, will only drain taxpayers. No skills, don't know the language, only want the things free that we Americans have had to work for, and now we're supposed to work to give these things to them? They come from violent places, diseased places, and many of them have and will commit horrendous acts against Americans. Thank God for President Trump and Tom Homan.

If you are thinking about entering the United States illegally at the cost of your child's safety and your safety is it really worth it to be pimped out by the cartel that is the sad reality you or your baby will go through do not send your baby alone that is the most messed up inhuman thing anyone who has sent their baby alone is a monster because you don't even care what's going to happen to that baby you just care that one day they can send you money that is greed that is of greed sad reality you send your baby over the border illegally and it gets traffic there's not going to be no money sent home to Mommy and Daddy because either they're going to get murked before they're able to work or probably turn into drugs in their adult age because of all of the trauma do not send your women alone the cartel will pimp them out if you go through the wrong way do not trust people that say that they can get you in they are most likely the cartel planning to hurt you go storm your own capital you guys are taking away our housing it should be first for the people that were born here I have no bias against you because you're from another country but I have every bit of biased towards your behavior you guys have shity behavior that are crossing over illegally and at first I was for the families but now I'm not sure
