America has been invaded. We are going to have to end up doing the same as Poland is now doing to illegal immigrants, and also the politicians enabling this insanity must be tried for treason. As long as the entire world has American people to come take advantage of, they will never even try to fix their own countries.

We all observe the end of America. I guess it is clear now why Putin rooted for Trump. No need for nukes, Trump will destroy America much more efficiently.

You can't eliminate poverty in every form by 2030 if college graduates don't return home,if they don't want to help we can't. Poverty Doesn't end on America's welfare

I don't care where any illegal invader is from. Illegally entering America is illegal. End of story.

The US, other western countries and their companies should also leave Africa and Latin America alone and allow them live in their lands in peace amd see if illegal migration will not end.

Is DW the new CNN ? Illegal means just that .. if you entered this country illegally you committed a crime .. end of story . America wants its country back, it’s money back .. no more free hand outs while American citizens are homeless . If Europe wants them come get them .

I am so glad that America is not going to allow itself to end up like Germany.

As an Asian, I was a little surprised that there were transgender soldiers. in my country there are only male and female soldiers.\n\nWhy did Trump end this show so quickly? Let transgender people rule the army and all aspects of America.\n\n At least America has high military technology, but not its soldiers. to create world military balance.

Decay of America. God made man and woman. End of story

What America should do is end senseless wars allover the world...and most people will stay in their countries

Kiwis here I’ve got a question, what happens when they end up in America do they receive a welfare benefit or are they on their own once they get in?

Very good? By that you mean we have the absolute worst trade deals. Our Representatives has let the whole planet walk all over us when it comes to trade deals or anything that involves other countries and money from the United States or any country using the United States to make money for themselves. That's all ending now in America will actually start making money instead of our debt Clock going in reverse faster than an F1 car

I agree, why don't they rise against their own nations as a free people and take back their countries!!! They obviouslt have desires to elevate their lives in some way, we americans had to fight for our country and it wasn't exactlt easy, these people are weak and pathetic for running away from their problems only to bring our country more problems that we can't deal with ourselves, I say we just hand them all a surplus of guns and a campaign plan to take back their own country lol, as much as I hate seeing any human suffer aside from rapists and murderers and child sex abusers, we in America have too many problems ourselves, and I was always told if you can't fix yourself, or love yourself how can you ever hope to be and good for anyone else, and that rings so true with everything, these people need to stand on their own 2 feet and fight against whatever tyranny they have and become a free people, I know if they did that someday they would probably succeed, and perhaos if they did start fighting for their freedom and trying to take back their country, we Americans might help them succeed in those endeavors some way or another...Who knows, these people need to rush their own governments and plead with them or overtake them, they can bum rush our borders I see no reason why they're not capable of doing the same in their own country, massive numbers beats out a shaggy old military and corrupt government any day everytime, yes many lives lost, but the sounds of trumpets for victort will ring out loudly on the end, and the people can finally have the lives and country they desire, we ain't it right now folks so turn back around and take all this border crossing energy to fight against your own establishments

Why don’t we send money, skills, and resources to help assist these countries with becoming better places to live…so that they stop needing to come into America! We send billions+ to aid other countries that despise America why not start with the poorer countries connected to our borders…?\n\nJust food for thought…\n\nThis is sad on sooo many levels…So much to be said…yet in the end Border control is VERY necessary.

The world will turn on Trump and America if they are not careful. The world will not be bullied. Could this be the beginning of the end for the United States influence? ??

Before you deported anyone back to their origin, you need to negotiate seriously to benefic both side. You cannot flex your muscles and expect they bound-down to you without seeing that they will get some kind of benefits. The deportations may end up costing the U S billions if all the Central and South America Continent refuse to accept the deportees. All flights end up go back to the U S with full migrants on the planes.

And Colombia is hitting back. Remember Trump started a world trade war during his first term -- and the US got its butt kicked royally. South America stopped buying American produce and started buying from China. The EU stopped buying American steel and started buying from China. (US Steel ended up closing two American based plants as a result.) I see the same outcome during his second term.

MAGA cult are the new Nazi Party. \n\nThe whole world, including half of America is telling Trump to f** off. \n\nUnite against the common threat. \n\nWe have common goals. We have common values. \n\nThe world has a common enemy and they are outnumbered. \n\nWhen was the last time the world united to neutralize a tyrant? [history lesson] \n\nThis is not going to end well for him. \n\nSic semper tyrannis

My neighbors are Chinese and they are laughing their azzes off. They just told me that by the end of this year Central and South America will be under 100% Chinese control. And damn they are right. Way to go carrot. ??????

Other countries are just figuring out how to make money without us. He’s hastening the end of America as an economic world power.

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

The irony here is that if roles were reversed and america was a crap country while venezuela and south america were great countries nd american citizens were trying to get into those countries, none of these ppl would say let americans in nd we would be either shot at by those countries govts or jailed and tortured nd eventually deported. Ive had enough of this nonsense. Main reason i voted for donald trump was to put an end to this bs. Sorry. Border closed!

Go america go Trump go Tom Homan america can't end up like European nations

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

I waited 7 years to bring my wife over here. We have a son and he is an Americsn citizen. My wife sees the degradation of our cities with so many immigrants coming over here and we try to avoid JFK and LAX like the plague. They will end up draining the limited resources that should be for the future child of Americans. My wife doesn't understand why America doesn't take care of it's own.. I agree with her 100 percent.

As a Canadian, I see the relationship with Trump as very toxic. Not long ago, we detained under house arrest Meng Wanzhou (Huawei exec) at the request of Trump. He used her as a bargaining chip for trade between the US and China. Remember that? Canada had to do it (to show others that we keep our word when it comes to treaties). In the end, he cancelled the request, after several years and 2 Canadians being arrested in retaliation by China. So we degraded OUR relationship with China... and for what? The whims of an Orange man. \n\nAnd now we are at it again. Trump is playing Canada against Mexico! I trust Mexico more than I trust Trump's America. And Mexico's incoming President is far more intelligent, and comes across with much more integrity than Trump ever will. WAKE UP, CANADA, US and MEXICO! Trump is running a great country into the ground. People of N. America, we aren't enemies. Bide your time. Don't fall for his trap. 4 years is not THAT long, is it? ?

America patriots will end illegal alien birthright citizenship one way or the other. Americans are done with the BS!!!

Trump yes do it Trump the best president of America the 2nd George Washington we can do it whith out emigrant will work and the fields will take 10 dollars and hours we don't need Mexicans who work for less wil clean restroom end and all the those jobs less then 10 dollar and hour.\nTrump is the man.

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

Australia ended it's birth right citizen in 1981. Now, the babies born here have to have at least 1 parent who is a citizen or PR, in order to be a citizen. If both parents are not citizens, the child automatically becomes a citizen when the child turns 10 and both parents become citizens too, but the parents have to have some kind of work visa, Student visa, or some kind of visa that allows them to stay and work here. Unless they have changed it. So, good for you America. Boris Johnson was born in the USA and grew up in the UK but the US gov wanted some of that tax money when he tried to sell his house in the UK.

This is just MF crazy man ?‍♀️? if we go their country we might be end up dead, kidnapped, our go to jail that’s why they tell US Citizens TO AVOILD ALL TRAVEL. If illegal immigrants comes to the US it’s all copacetic, the democrats let all the borders wide open for these criminals to come in, idk why the Venezuelan’s are crying for, coming into the US illegally that’s trust-passing. Having criminals coming here to destroyed America. Go home and fix ya’ll problems in Venezuela. ✌️✌️

Illegal aliens are not immigrants. LAWLESSNESS is a sign of the END of a CIVILIZATION. WAKE up AMERICA ??

Enough wi the fleecing of the American’s taxpayer monies and enough with the fleecing of America. Giving away our current monies away, and giving our future money away has got to stop. Hold these lawmakers and Dem people accountable and have them pay. Put it back on social security where it belongs. Enough with giving it away to illegals while we are having a hard time making ends meet.

I just wish democrats would just STFU for four years. We really had enough from your never ending BS. \n\nJust let this man work and let him be judged based on his unique methods’ outcomes. \n\nWe tried your methods and America realized it can have /do better. Just stop please stop you are tooooo annoying

So funny? Mexico has nothing over America any tit for tat ends in mexicos collapse far before America even feels it. Funny how cnn an other media company’s like to twist and control the narrative. Perhaps they think they are the sole source of information?

It's time our farmers will grow our own products and sell them to our own markets without competition. Bring back all Agricultural industry back. Make America great Again.\nThey have disrespected us and send migrants in.\n\nWe buy and buy and buy from them without them buying our goods now it's to put and end to it if they keeps on disrespecting our borders.

We don’t need Mexico we just use them cause there cheap. America can build and grow whatever they want. She should shut up and solve her own country’s crisis. There’s a reason her own people want to run to America. But the boot they will get if coming here illegally is their agenda. One day our army will probably have to swing in there for a solid week and end there crisis that they can’t handle themselves. & all these crybaby Americans over Kamala need to stfu and listen to the real adults. America will be America again. “Oh but we’re all immigrants” well I’m not I was born here. That happened years and years ago. You have better luck crying a river to a wall. Let’s go America let’s bring the real America back and make it strong again. F$$$ the haters and crybabies

Under the WEAK Biden presidency, Mexico governments were not informed and there was no communication between the two to take actions to prevent illegals and drugs and allow illegals and drugs to enter America soil. Now we have Trump as our President and the whole world leaders are all ears and want to work with America to end world problems. Lets pray together God will protect Donald Trump and end WARS and make America great again. AMEN!

Bit of a side note, but Latin American birth rates have dipped so low in recent years (Mexico's is now lower than that of the US), that long-term migration from Latin America will probably decrease, because young adults are the prime migrators. This is especially true given Venezuela and El Salvador will probably shrink as source countries (Venezuela because it literally had so much emigration already, that everyone who would leave, has left, El Salvador because of the recent improvements in its security situation). I'd also expect to see some Latin Americans head for Guyana instead given its oil boom. \n\nFor context, it's not actually out of the realm of current UN projections that Latin America and the Caribbean as a whole will go from having about 2x the population of the US at the moment, to it being about 1:1 by the end of the century. \n\nThat said, this could also all be counter-acted by the economic hardship aging populations in the region would bring.

There's a piece missing in the puzzle. Has anyone asked where's Mexico in all of this? everyone seems to forget that they're America's southern neighbor, and they're not helping with anything to mitigate the border crisis. Mexico has to be sanctioned, because they're not actively partaking in the protection of the shared border with the US, they're allowing immigrants to cross the border unchecked, sparing themselves the trouble of dealing with them. They're throwing the ball in America's court, making immigration America's problem. Since they share the border with America, they have an obligation to combat illegal immigrantion but they're not doing that. They want to get rid of their crimnals and the poverty in their country not by enforcing the law and trying to invest in their infrastructure to enhance the living standards of their people, instead they're encouraging them to move to America to find a better life. America doesn't have to pay the price of Mexico being a failed country. They're turning their backs on their own citizens and trying to get rid of them, obliging them to take the perilous journey across the border where they're prone to crime, drugs, rape, human trafficking, sex trafficking, child abuse and all sorts of tragedies but to them the ends justify the means, and they have the nerves to call America racist and inhumane for not rescuing them from the situation that they created for them in the first place. Since the vast majority of illegal immigrants came across the border with Mexico, they should be deported back to Mexico, and Mexico can take it from there, not our problem anymore

See, I know this is wrong. But we have to be honest I am an Indian but moved to America. I stayed in New Jersey and the environment we created there is absurd. We made the place dirty, uncivilized behaviour and the list is long. This is happening in Canada too. Canadians identify everyone as Indians but the major problem they have is with Khalistanis. They have become a menace, gun violence, crimes and a shit ton of things done by these people. There is always a reaction and it is unfortunate that the innocent ones has to face the reaction. We Indians only look at the good ones as an example when it comes to Indian immigrants, but the chaos and misconduct is created by the rest of the uncivilized Indians who are huge in Numbers. My experience girlfriend was Canadian, her mother owned a departmental store she caught and called cops on many occasions were our peyare caught on camera stealing, damaging the store and also peeing right in the corner of the store. I saw all these footage. The major problem with Canada is most of the Indian immigrants that went there were uneducated and directly went to Canada from Indian villages, it's a cultural shock for them and during the initial period everyone behaved in a uncivilized manner. Please understand the root cause of the issue. If I am a guest at your house and keep on causing harm to your home and if this keeps on repeating you will end up frustrated.

And America has Tom Homan...and true patriot that will end this illegal border crossing end. Of course we aren't going to deport every one...but start with the felons, criminals and gang bangers and anyone that commits a crime here.

Wait until no one is cleaning the bathrooms, picking the crops and cleaning their hotel rooms. Do it PLEASE. I thought MAGA would be ended with this election. Let them implement their 2025 agenda and in 2026, there will be the biggest WAVE ? America has ever seen if Donnie and Elon haven’t figured out how to truly implement a rigged election. I am sure they and their main buddy Putin will show them how to do it.

The problem is dems complain about trump lying on buying a mile long of cheeseburgers and never complain about the 20m unknown people dems just let in that broke the law and ARE TAKING YOUR BENEFITS! After is all set and done this mess will costs us close to a trillion. Any state that wants to be a sanctuary for ilegals DO NOT ASK FOR FEDERAL FUNDS( you are breaking the law by not following it or ignoring it) go explain the citizens you represent that you feel illegals are more important than US citizens. Gop please end the filibuster and change America forever, Democrats cannot be trusted ever again. Never ever again

America has chosen fascism. From a historical perspective this will always have a very dark ending. People will suffer

In the end hate and violence destroy everything... sooo much of both in America.

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

Jobs were made by BIDEN and Harris....Trump will send 11 Million back...Jobs nobody wants to do... The economy will collapse...1930 all over again...and worse.\nTariffs will be paid by the Americans...Trump does not know how Tariffs work ...\nTrump cannot end a war in 24 hours like Ukraine - Russia...\nTrump has no knowledge of anything...we will see a clown cabinet....like Dana White, Lil Pump, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Joe Rogan...and the criminal Trump Family...\nThe End of America is near...?????????

When produce prices jump in the stores because a lack of labor? When building contractors lose a portion of there labor building houses?? When the meat processors like tyson meats and others have illegals working through labor contractors!!!! Yes those of you who say how can they work? Well \nThe corporations give lip service but use contractors to avoid legal issues and inturn labor contractors uses temps lol and other modes!! \nWe are short of labors in these fields of employment. \nId like to see our MAGA voters go out and hoe weeds ???? Or harvest lettuce or tomatoes or bell peppers or plum on 8 foot ladders all day\nOr pore foundational cement for houses? This field has tons of illegals!!!!\nYou think you just experienced inflation!!!! Ha ha. Hold on to your hats because with the extremes in weather in the produce growing areas and labor shortage reducing yield further!!!! Prices in the stores will jump!!! That house may take 6 to 8 months to move in with a 10 % jump.in the price!!!\nAnd if trump put troops on the border the new president in Mexico has stated she will close the borders. So all of those parts and components produced needed for final assembly were stop.\nUnemployment will rise as companies get smaller profits add trumps tariffs. Youll add a trade war!!!!\nPrices go up because tariffs are a tax!!!! Consumers alway get those fees back on to the end user!!!! I give it 12 to 14 months. This economy will spiral downward. By the way, Europe and China have stated they will increase tariffs on items imported from America!!!!\nSo you will have a full blown trade war and products stop being sold!!!! Come folks figure it on out!!!! This is high school basic macro economic models !!!!!!!! Not rocket science here\n,,, your angry because you just experiencedthe back side of a pandemic . Now you want to have trump give you a 1930 solution froM MR. HOOVER. !!!! REMEMBER THE DEPRESSION!!!!
