These people are saying that they will support and defend these immigrants because this administration is dividing us? You people should be ashamed of yourselves, because if there’s someone really dividing this nation, it’s not the Trump administration; but you guys who choose to go against your own people, in favor of illegal immigrants. You are clearly the one dividing this nation. We were doing fine, until your party decided to overload us with all these illegal immigrants. \nDon’t get me wrong. I have no objection for any person to enter this country legally, but when you’re hurting our people, disobeying our laws, and even raping and killing US citizens; then I will not support that. If you want someone to blame, then you should blame Biden, George Soros, the U. N., and the far left radical woke party. They’re the ones responsible for this mess. Of course they will deny it, but that’s alright; because Trump it’s going to force the law on the books, and those who oppose them, will find themselves walking in hot coals. You know who I feel bad for? For the unaccounted children, that don’t know any better; and were sent alone by their parents or family members. What kind of parent will do this to a kid? Not a very good person, I’m sure. I pray that we do find these missing children, and that all those that are trying to make it legally into this country; will be accepted.

President Trump's administration should make a bigger Wall between Canada and the United States. Most criminals are entering from Canada.

I'm a Canadian and I had no clue that we had this issue... Most of our media is government funded and so they don't report wrong doings of the administration like they should, plus lots of censoring so this is the first im hearing of it. Crazy I had to hear from an American what's really happening at the Canadian border. Trumps tariff threats due to our lax boarder makes sense now

If you like or dislike Pres. Trump...just do a little research and see if what he is doing overall is common sense and towards more sanity or the reverse. My opinion: anybody with any common sense will see the light that MAGA is the way forward and that the previous Biden administration overall was the way to disaster.

Thank goodness for President Trump and his administration. \nThese criminals are not here for anything but freebies. These blue states should be cut off from any and all federal funding.

I hope the Trump Administration outlaws sanctuary cities!!!

You’re seeing this because the Trump administration is incompetent.

They didn’t come iillegaly the Biden administration allowed them in an let them stay in in hotels damn democrats wanted to swarm trump since they new they were gonna be the number one looser ???????

President Trump cleaning up this biden administration disgusting mess the invasion of our country

As always, because the libtards cannot create valid arguments, they are trying to baffle the people with bullshit.\n\nI don't like your mayor. I don't like him because he has a waffler and a weak man. Whether before or after you made this video, he got called to the governor's office for a spanking, and came back humming a different tune. He's weak. He's trying not to take a side, which is going to make both sides come after him until his career is over. \n\nBUT...\n\nHe got indicted by the Biden administration, over airline upgrades for Christ's sake, because he was taking a stand against illegal immigration. \n\nThat was his stance in the first place. That's what got him in this mess in the first place. \n\nSo to say that the fact that he wanted to work with the Trump administration to fight illegal immigration is a quid pro quo... That's just galactically stupid. \n\nThey are speaking to the ignorant with this. Unfortunately, the ignorant are a massive army.

Ummmm, maybe do some homework, Cash, or stop watching Fox News. Fewer then 2% of illegal immigrants cross the Canadian border into the US. As for fentanyl, your primary sources are Mexico, China and India with Canada so low down the list of sources we don't even register on the charts. Less then 1% (t's actually about 0.2%) of your fentanyl supply comes from Canada to the US. In fact, the reality is that far, far, far more migrants, fentanyl and--worse--illegal guns, cross FROM the US INTO Canada. On the other hand, you get 60% of your crude oil from us and in some areas of the US, 90% of the houses are constructed with Canadian soft wood. Don't get me started on the water!! Sensationalizing Trump disinformation is only going to fuel the very stupid decisions coming out of your White House right now. Far better you all take a step back, take a deep breath and learn how to use some critical thinking to fix what are truly the problems in America: the entire Trump administration and all of its supporters for a start, gun violence, fear, poor education, the right wing agenda, removal of social supports, justice and genuine human rights, just to name a few. Rome (the US) is burning and Trump is standing on the hill, playing his fiddle and it ain't migrants who are adding the fuel...

Been saying that the democrats don't care about our country or the American people. They only care about money and power to rule over the American people. They see illegals as future voters for them. That's why they let them in and supporting them with OUR tax dollars. Traitors is a great word for them. Consequences for their treason??? Nothing has been done yet. But I'm hopeful that the Trump administration will start making them accountable after they repair the worst cases of intentional destruction that the democrats have put into motion. ??

? It was never an “asylum crisis”. It was a national security crisis, national sovereignty crisis, a public safety crisis, a deadly drug flow crisis, a human trafficking crisis, a seggs slavery crisis, and a financial crisis - all actively facilitated by a corrupt government and supported by an anti-American leftist ideology. \n\nThanks to the Trump administration for performing their Constitutional duties to protect our country and enforce our laws. States like NY that refuse to abide by federal laws should suffer consequences. They are creating a Constitutional crisis, essentially engaging in nullification. If they won’t recognize federal laws they shouldn’t receive federal funds.

The Trump Presidency is a monument. His Administration is fighting for American citizens….Tom Homan is incredible….

Thank God for President Trump. The last administration was trying to destroy our country for sure. Democrats are so damn evil.

Biden administration did all this mess lock his a.. up Americans can't get nothing and this federal government is handing these illegals migrants all the goods while Americans are suffering stop giving them shelters and money Trump needs to cut them off of assistance they will stop coming

I very much appreciate your reporting of the seeming cognitive dissonance of the pro immigration stance of activists which is the general narrative nationally, in mainstream media, and even the Trump Administration BUT the elixir to break the spell of the cognitive dissonance is to call this whole situation EXACTLY what it is: the anti-Constitutional Republic of America / pro-socialist march towards communism. People in this country need to wake the hell up and understand what is at stake here and stop buying into a deliberately distracting narrative that masks the relentless efforts to destroy our Constitutional rights and way of life!!!

This is old news; not under Trump administration. Whatever CNN.

I can envision a situation where Trump targets Australia next with his aggressive policies. In response, we should consider implementing a boycott against American products and establish tariffs on imports from the United States. It's essential that we stand firm and refuse to let Trump and his administration intimidate us into submission. Australia deserves to protect its interests and maintain its sovereignty in the face of such bullying tactics.

I feel for these people. When one is desperate one will do desperate acts. They may have spent life savings just getting over to the border. I don’t blame these folks.\n\nI blame Biden and the last administration. The enabled this to happen. They allowed criminal activity of entering this country with no legal entry. \n\nDon’t blame Trump for enforcing the law. \n\nBlame Biden for setting these people up for tragedy.

lol I love how CNN is like “why is this happening?” This was in the middle of the Biden administration and how they handled the border. It’s looking a lot different under trump!

Deportation will cost Trump administration billions thanks to Biden and his Wokeness.

The Trump administration needs to hire the American people to report while they deport.

I have no doubt that this current administration is funding these sick escort services that are victimizing these poor people for political reasons. Look at them. They are devastated. Anyone who can trick them and bus them around while legally waiting for a hearing would do anything to try to get that damn wall built because Trump’s OCD needs it to be done. Where are our investigative journalists these days?

As an Indian who worked in US legally for 6 years, I would like to thank Mr Trump & his administration for doing the right thing.\nThese guys only understand this language.\nThey have not only broke US laws but Indian too.\nThese people are black spot on Legal Indian Migrants in US and elsewhere.\nGodspeed President Trump.

Very good deed by Trump administration

100% agree with the Trump administration on this.. men need to be strong smart loyal and not be thinking about wearing a dress and trying to to be something he is not

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

PROJECT 2025 is real and being put into place - Please America - READ the document that is the blueprint for your country under Trumps Administration. Google the highlights and understand - you are not part of the elite - you do not matter - and you will suffer as a fascist and authoritarian dictatorship get put into place.

Utterly disgraceful to see that humans are treated like this by Trump administration despite Indian govt. completely collaborating with undocumented migrant transfer. Completely racist and inhuman treatment.

Firstpost does not know the illegals are from 192 countries, of all skin color and ethnicities just like the U.S.\n\nI am thinking this video post at YouTube is deliberately inflammatory meddling in U.S. internal affairs.\n\nBiden administration deliberately worked to economically destroy the U.S. His own motivation could be limited to his criminal enterprise, nevertheless it is what he and his administration did.\n\nIn fact, he spent as fast as he could spend when he was not going to hold on to power himself or with his VP Kamala Harris, his Secretary Yellen announcing Trump would have no money Day 1.\n\nHow did that work out for these criminals? It is what they are, audit reveals.\n\nTrump promised economy, and that meant audits to these villains.\n\nThis is why participants put up their big smoke screen attacks on Trump and supporters, and even anyone who voted for him the first time and the next.

They aren’t doing this under Trumps administration ?‍♂️??‍♂️

Can you blame them. The previous administration offered a premium benefits package to any and everyone who wanted it. It was a literal freeforall. Now that a non globalist, non(I'm just going to say it)ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT administration is handling the border of the US, these people are stunned. They are pissed off that the free ride is over. Chances are, President Trump would love nothing more than to do business with the countries sending these people. He would love to make deals that would strengthen their economy, give people a reason to live there. Maybe these leaders should bring something to the table other than droves of their own citizens complaining about how bad the situation has become in their home countries. We've already got enough of those here as it is. Sorry.

The greatest n best step undertaken by trump's administration...

Excellent, trump administration is protecting America from illegal migration

The only people who are here illegally should feel uneasy. You’re breaking the law by crossing ILLEGALLY into the US. This would be no different if I was to cross into another country illegally. They would have the right to remove me from their country and face legal charges for breaking their laws. Unfortunately illegal immigrants were getting away with it under the Biden administration which has caused chaos in the US. Now Trump is having to clean up the mess it’s caused and hold people accountable for breaking the law. I have friends and a wife that all went through the legal process to become a US citizen. It’s not fair to the people who are going through the legal process by letting them get away with it and giving them VIP treatment for breaking the law. This is absurd!

Does any country in Africa accepts illegal migrants in their country. Why we have pre visa approval in African countries for foreign countries entry. Lets face reality and not complicate Trump administrative duties.

Im at the point to where I wish the Trump administration would just say, ya know what, I dont give a shit what you think! Im so sick of these ppl acting like they don't have common freaking sense!

Trump administration also cut funds to South Africa.

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games.

Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

Is the Trump administration going to Deport Ukrainian people that Joe Biden Brought to America

It's a sad situation but there are laws that illegal immigrants need to obey. What doesn't make sense to me is that everyone is blaming Trump for this move but not the previous administration for allowing illegals to come in at will. It's crazy. If that would've been handled correctly from the beginning we wouldn't be here

Why Trump administration? It s LOW!!! We are country of immigrants, but we also country of LAW and ORDER!! Come here legally, and you will be more then welcome.

…..there are 700,000 illegal Indians in USA and not a single one is being deported……..Trump administration has no courage to expel these illegal Indians back to India……..

Trump is actually helping Canada with this move. Governments have to fight tooth and nail these days to get protectionist laws passed and protect their industry but here Trump just made Canada do it. The Trump administration knows what they are doing.

Have you noticed during Biden administration there were minimal catastrophe but as soon as trump becomes president the lefties are doing everything to sabotage his administration with first it was covid lockdowns, now fires in California just happened after the eguraration and now planes collision. I wonder what other curve balls and disasters Biden elites will do next to Trump to complicate his administration terrorism? Mass shootings?The lefties love revenge,chaos and death

The trouble with political commentators is they try to think like a politician? Trump is not a politician! So think like a businessperson, its the deal and what is the best deal for the USA. At present he is the catalyst for many things and the most worried are the politicians and a lot of their lucrative deals they have made, in most cases not to the benefit of the country! In fact, it does America a favor, so if it becomes cheaper to make it at home, guess what? That's what they'll do, create investment, employment, greater wealth etc! And like most media outlets, they like to mix facts up, its not drugs from the north thats the problem. What Trump is implying is that Canada is aiding and abetting illegal immigration to another sovereign country via government policies! Plus the Trump administration is transporting illegals back to their country of origin rather than to the last country that harbored them! And the common theme is, the people suffer for what?

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

It's sad that facts have no place in trump's administration.

Trump's malignant narcissism has been projected onto MAGA, and the USA administration. The USA is clinically ill.
