The libs cry that we are heartless when we say close the borders ? ? I have one thing to say to them......... Go to their country and try to force your way in, without being properly vetted and see how far you get!! I promise you, the US is a lot more merciful than any other country would be towards people trying to force their way in, or sneak in!!!!! You would be pew pewd on the spot or thrown in a prison you don't want to be in. And that's after they torture you. America has been weak, when it comes to illegals. And they see that. If you still think we are wrong for closing the border, to protect our country, you need to pack up and leave.... We do not know a thing about this people coming across, and you wouldn't let some stranger into your home, without first knowing who they are and what their reason is for coming in!! We need to be this way at every port of entry into this country.

*When will you all return to your respective homes of Europe and Africa and return all the land to its rightful occupants, the Natives ? Sick haters .. No one cares bc all the land is fn stolen. From North to South America, including the Caribbean. And whn the Europeans take over Africa, let's see how you Africans will take it .. Bc that's what happened to my ppl over here in the Americas . ?? You know it in your hearts .*

Why does this only apply to certain people. I think everyone in America who was not born here should go as well. If you have parents that are not from the US that makes you associated, so you should go too. So raise your hand if you have immigrant ancestors. Come on don't be afraid. Come on Italians, Europeans, Asians, Africans, raise your hands. Then there would be no one left. You all need to stop the finger pointing, because this country belongs to none of us. REALLY!

? 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 ?

One of the laziest groups of the most in Central America

And so China wins another key partner in Latin America . Seeing how the US is an unreliable economic partner, that threatens tarriffs over every little dispute, Columbia will most probably start seriously looking into establishing more reliable economic outlets, like China or even Europe for that matter. The only thing clown Trump succeeded in , was to push a crucial regional ally into the hands of a geopolitical rival of the US, sacrificing its long term geopolitical and economic influence over a single issue, not a very major one at that. Stupid, stupid , stupid. But boy is it sweet, to see the US self destructing.

The funny thing is you keep saying the phrase “US Allies “ when you should use “former US allies “ the US has no allies as it doesn’t want any .don’t act like you should be leaving America for your next vacation . No one else wants you to visit . Please stay home .

Hmm no one will want to trade with america if he does this to others

Many years America suck their blood as work force so let them free soon can't find any one working on farmland

Trump will cause more harm than good..watchout ..He thinks America can live without the support from one another ?..wenall need one another..All these is crazy ?

Hmmm, coffee from one country costing a little more or criminal “migrants” staying in America?

It’s funny how one political side in America expects us to give up sovereignty that nobody else would

Apparently no one there gives a crap about those children, jesus christ. If you wanted to solve the immigration issue, you fix the issue of why these people want to leave their own countries. The USA in Hollywood has said for as long as it's been alive that in America you can live the dream and that America is the best, so why are you surprised when these people show up wanting the same thing. If we didn't have asshole dictators, this likely wouldn't be a problem, but you know how power hungry greedy c##ts are.

Trump needs to learn the world is not at his knees. He is an obnoxious bully who thinks he and he alone can save the world. In less than one week he has insulted, threatened and lied so many times I lost count. Releasing convicted criminals who amongst other things, assaulted police officers. All this from a convicted felon! Well Donnie, go ahead and impose your tariffs on the world. America, because of you has become a pariah amongst the rest of the world.

COLUMBIAN PRESIDENTS MESSAGE TO TRUMP - I don’t like your oil, Trump. You are going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey—which I accept despite my gastritis—we can talk frankly about this. But it’s difficult because you consider me an inferior race, and I am not. Nor is any Colombian. If you know someone who is stubborn, that’s me—period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and arrogance, like they did with Allende, but I will die in my law. I resisted torture, and I resist you. \n \nI don’t want slavers next to Colombia. We’ve already had many, and we freed ourselves. You may kill me, but I will survive in my people, who were here in the Americas long before yours. We are people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and of freedom. You don’t like our freedom? Fine. I don’t shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA—at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from COVID. They are the United States, and before them, I kneel. Before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. Your blockade does not scare me because Colombia, besides being a country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty, as I do. Do not disrespect it, or you will lose its sweetness. From today on, Colombia is open to the entire world with open arms. We are builders of freedom, life, and humanity. \n \nI am informed that you imposed a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States. I do the same. Let our people plant corn—which was discovered in Colombia—and feed the world. And so now, less than one week into this, I say: We will stand firm. We will resist. We will thrive. \n \nThe president of Colombia does not want a U.S. military plane in his country—and fair enough. Instead, he brings his people home in style, aboard his presidential plane. It’s a statement of dignity, independence, and pride. Colombia stands firm, choosing its own path and honoring its people with the respect they deserve.

I am totally agree USA border need to secure to stop illegal immigrants and I support America first agenda but I don't understand how tarrif gonna help American economy.Just Imagine when we put tarrif on trade that means US importer going to pay that or find alternative in short period of time this is going to increase inflation in USA.Once prices up it's very hard to bring it down we already seen in pandemic.We gone through pandemic inflation increase and then Ukraine war increase gas prices and inflation went up and now trade war with biggest trade partners this is going to be another economic damage and this is big one.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Canada and Mexico will be hitting the USA with 25% tariffs. EU and China will hit the USA with 25% tariffs soon after. South America like Brazil are likely to follow. MAGA USA is doomed. It's one thing to talk tough, it's another to stay alive while doing it.

Remember all this when America is isolated from the rest of the globe ! When a natural catastrophe happens in America and no one comes to our aide . Or North Korea decides to attack America . Along with Russia and China ! Who is coming to our aide ? Trump is actually isolating us from the globe ! And here , in America , we cheer for his spiteful ways . But what we are really cheering is the dangerous and dumb leadership of compromising OUR National Security , period .

Congratulations America electing Trump means you won’t have any country working with you on any level. \n\nNo one like a bully

Won't cost more to america, colombian product would be so expensive that is not gonna be able to compete so no one is gonna buy it and they'll lose his biggest market

For what Hey Dumpy Trumpy no one Actually likes you,And your going to hurt America But that's right you're a billionaire and you don't care!

America stands as the last empire on Earth, remaining the only one that dominates every corner of the globe and can reach any land or sea with remarkable speed. Most Americans are hardworking individuals living paycheck to paycheck, and about 80% lack a passport because they cannot afford to travel abroad. These individuals are loving, caring, and humble. America is already great enough, yet everyday folks never truly experience that greatness. Why does Mr. Trump strive to make America even greater? Because the American ruling elites suffer from a brain virus known as «hubris»!

Not a leader, nothing has changed. Unfortunately a full fledged Bully. How dumb must one be not being able to figure this out. America has a problem Creator and Chief.?

????. He’s a fcuking lunatic and CNN are supporting his agenda to destroy America…he is now THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS. Has no one in corporate media any self respect, integrity or decency…this applies to all the reporters. You have no honour.

So many people don't fundamentally understand how tariffs work. America is one of the largest consumer markets in the world with the strongest impact on the global economic scale. Every country NEEDS their goods sold to the United States and tariffs make them pay more to get there goods here giving us a cash influx. while also dramatically increasing the competitive edge for domestic companies to compete against foreign slave markets.

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!!!

What an idiotic move! In only one week, the demon has made America the enemy of the world.

Gustavo Petro is one of the most popular presidents in the americas, because he stands firmly against the monster in the middle east.

America is a 3rd world country no health care no livable conditions and a felon as a president burning this country down while every one watch

No one in South America is an enemy of the USA! The Republican party needs to contain President Trump's aggressive actions because people are suffering violence on planes by Guards.

jusftified- if these illegals committed crime on U.S. soil and colombia does not take them back - than why should america bare the burden of this. Lets have a pissing contest colombia - ill bet my house that trump wins that one. Lets Make America Safe Again

CNN already spreading leftist propaganda. Columbia has already folded and offered to fly them back with the President’s plane. Amazing what a President gets done when he puts America first and is not a weakling like our last one.

Americans choked in unison on your words, 30%. Are you joking? I don’t think anyone in America who’s not a part of the one percent pays less than 50 or 60% of their income towards housing. That’s the best case scenario most people are paying closer to 70 to 80%.

Look at how they are dressed. The one females hair is clean and styled she even has ear rings in they are getting help getting to our border!! They think they can just invade America, and the government will give them everything they want free. Thank you, President Trump and our law enforcement, for guarding our CLOSED boarder

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

My lord ….why people don’t understand about rules . Did everyone are forgetting about 911 !?!?? Do the right thing for better future nature. But !?The problem this society social media, make people jealous about life things, materials things, make people do bad things . For that !? We are destroying the world ? . I remember when the dollar was less than 2 reais, Brazilian currency . The time was the President George W. Bush family . I never forget the tragedy on the 911 . I remember The US , send Military to find the responsible the 911 , lots money was involved to support the soldiers .Lots country the time was not involved in the 911 . But did get the chance pays all the bills too “ because the money was going down quickly , gave one good opportunity to payback he United States money ?. Then thought The Americans never get back after, 911 !? Americans are amazing people, because they’re responsible pay for their own taxes , to support the country . Resume :::::::1= pays the bills to the United States of America, so the people from another country don’t live , to come to America ??. 2= make the money universal : if don’t “ the war will getting worse . The president the United States of America , Trump deserves respect ?? if you don’t . Bad times come true , to kip the American save . So much things to do with this planet ?, but people’s always want burn ? petroleum, for not being productive enough to care about the environment planet ?. We must use more Electric ⚡️ cars , to have better chance future rainy . ?

I don't know whey they leave their country instead of make their country great ... Every one should boycott America to visit and consume american products then they know there value... We make America high and we make America down

Love to see it, all of it. United States is just one country in dozens in all of the Americas. Absolutely have the right to flee and avoid prosecution but you don’t have the right to pick and choose and make America be the only country you’re willing to go to

That's why we need Donald Trump. I wish we had a few more of Donald Trump in America. One is not enough.

There's no economy growth here for the millions of ppl the govt are pure in the country c.a not even have a trillion dollar company in the country, America has give trillion dollar company, that's why America so powerful and can do what they want, I'm saying what or these millions of ppl going to lived on live in the country food prices or through the roof right now it causing one person at least $300 a month so my question is where they going to livd under bridge the govt not building apartments building for the average ppl to lived so what going to happen to the average workers in Ontario, a one bedroom apartment is for $2500 plus light no average ppl can afford it. What even make it worse the govt give apartments owners the right to rase rent $60 a month when no employer paying the average workers $120 a month in Ontario that's why ppl or run out the the apartments building because its impossible for dem to keep up to that kind of rent.

They brought this hardship on themselves not President Trump, it has never in human history been cruel to send people home. They have nothing to offer America, those corporations who have a voracious appetite for cheap labor have fueled this migration by lobbyist working with Dems and Republicans to replace American workers with cheap unskilled labor from around the world while putting the.cost of feeding, sheltering, educating and medical treatment for this cheap labor on us the ones who have been put out of work by the cheap labor imported by elected leaders.

What kind of American democracy is this , one man show , discarding existing system of rules without proper discussion of prose and conse in the senate of such haphazard action , which will impact on many human lives . Legal and illegal is a system of paper slavery , humanity is core character of civilised society , it should be based on humanism not only on documentation , which America is famous for !?

Yesterday, the President stated he would like to put the Stars and Stripes on the surface of Mars, so the first thing that needs to be done is for the Trump Administration to DECLASSIFY the currently-secret abilities of many U.S. aerospace operations and still-secret grid-scale electric power generation systems!\n\nWhy is Lockheed Martin’s 40-megawatts-in-a-home-fridge-sized FUZOR power generator technology still classified? Why is the 5000+ MPH-capable 1996-era “The Green Lady” ZIP-fueled (Boranes) hypersonic recon aircraft still secret? Why is the 2010-era 15,000 MPH capable Spearfisher hypersonic aircraft still secret? Why is the SR-75 (aka Brilliant Buzzard / Senior Citizen) carrier aircraft with its on-the-back Spaceplane still secret? Why are the wingless Electrostatics-based propulsion “The Silent Ones” spacecraft still secret and WHY is the GWASER-based (Gravity Wave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) cargo-carrying deep space-capable vessels still being kept classified from use by the American public and industry?\n\nDeclassify all the above and start with the technology that America already has so it can quickly commercialize currently-secret deep space transportation systems and space-ready habitation technology!

One might think that the countries loosing millions of their doctors, lawyers & astronauts to migration would be complaining that their best and brightest are leaving their home countries, but strangely it seems like things are only improving in south and central America. It's so very strange....

This is absolutely ridiculous!! It is not a RIGHT to come into our country. It is something that legal immigrants spend months to years and a lot of personal money to do. Just like most of our ancestors. We have lost a family member and a friend to fentanyl. I support closing the borders and deportations after that clown of a job the Biden admin has done these past four years. Our country has never been weaker than one day ago. So grateful we finally have a president that is pro-America. That is how it SHOULD be. If a country’s leaders aren’t doing their job to follow the governments laws and they aren’t making their own country safe for their citizens that is on them. Not the USA to allow anyone and everyone in. Crime is rampant. Drugs are flowing across the border. This is needed and you are manipulating truth.

Definitely fair stop it day one not raisist but rather a reset. These folks need to realize the fast lane is closed now you will have to do it like everyone else is waiting years and longer. Mexicans force the jobs to be cheap being the rates down way down not just in America but in Canada making the Americans and Canadians homeless job less the last 10 years was a big blow to so many people but no one is talking about it. Deport reset restructure point blank.

What did they expect? Really ……….American’s voted and said enough…. Come legally. Get vetted, Get a social number and pay taxes from day one. Then hey welcome to America.

CnN its been going on but your discusting channel has refused to show it! Daily for 4 years! CNN is a disgrace to America! Your channel finally woe up to talk about! CNN shut down no one watches your lieing news anymore! Smfh!

?.... after one year Canada census show Toronto and surrounding boundaries gain over 3 million people, the # 1 influx of people in all of North America.\nSo let me get this straight your view of Toronto is different from millions and they're still coming?\nHow I gauge if Toronto is changing for the bad is simple.\nI walked a two mile radius of my home and what I see is improvement after improvement. And if I see dumping for example I call 311 and within 48 hours it's gone.\nOne thing I find very odd...for a country and city where cost of living the highest ever....why is everyone spending money improving their property...none are rundown.
