Mexico needs the US way more than the other way around. \n\nMexicos cartels are a threat to the American people and the Mexican president will do nothing about it.

So CNN where was this information about how well the the Biden administration was controlling the border during the election. Hummmm playing both sides of the fence. If you have the facts let the American people hear.

I work at Spanish grocery store, I have never seen a container of strawberries before $2.99 or 2 for $5.00, now almost $9.99 container.\nTo the people who voted for this clown, predator, thief, liar, the list goes on should have voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz ? they actually cared and a heart for the American people, this scum bag and his cabinet imps is all about is their millions. Put your trust in God, He will never fail.

Look up the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930. American Republicans have tried this already during the Great Depression and it only made the Depression worse for them. When people don't learn from history, it comes back to bite them hard. Good luck!

I can’t understand why people in America can’t see that Trump is in the political game to meet his own needs and agenda!! In short he is the biggest and now the most untrustworthy criminal in the WORLD!!! He is going to destroy America and everything America stands for and he will do it with no considerations for the population!!! Why is one man, and a man with severe mental problems able to upend the total legal fraternity of a country and not be held accountable!!! The existing government can clearly see the dangers of this incoming administration but sit idly by and allow this corruption to manifest! Biden has the ability and powers of the presidency to stop Trump in his tracks, Why isn’t he? What is Biden afraid of? Trump is one man or is it the behind the scenes organisations that have installed trump and bought the presidency for him to serve their own agendas . With a total moron like Trump at the helm there are foreign adversaries that are going to complete the destruction of American institutions in a way that is going to severely damage Americas standing in the world!! The people that voted this evil man into office have no idea what hardships they are going to endure for the foreseeable future because a man like Trump doesn’t spend a minute of his day considering what’s best for someone else only his own interests!

It’s the American people that will be paying tariff… not Mexico, why do they care. If USA not buying them, they’ll just make the deal somewhere else and then increase the price when US wants to deal again.

9 million Americans are employed for companies that produce products for Canadians. Canada should stop buying those products and put those 9 million people out of work.... They can thank Trump.

Shows you how simple minded the American right is buying Orange man’s rhetoric - doesn’t take a rocket scientist to google the basic workings of tariffs and how it actually affects people …. So given the fact that it is very easy to research this stuff it shows you how lazy and dumb the American right is

You guys will listen to anyone , but while complaining about the border; you all know to well what cause the migrations. Stop sugarcoating go straight to the point. \nNo one wants to leave their homes land taking a long distance for another country. \nYou all know what force them outdoor. \nLet me give you an example. When California's while fires start. Animals like humans beings do they stay put or run for their lives?\nThe United states is a great country. No doubt about that. Even the so called enemy of the states knows that. But the foreign policy is not that is what force people to flee their home countries. Look what happened in Haiti for example just one small island. What do you expect those people to do ? If and when you only make a real meaningful change ; people will stop. As Americans we know better and we can and should do better ❤ I all

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

The American people voted for unmitigated incompetence at every level of government, this destructively naive vulgarian party, this rapist cult of leaders to represent American values, this is no longer an effective democracy, normal folks can’t combat lobotomized masses.

Trump made this to be an issue, it is terrible to lie to the American people. FAFO Mexico is not playing Trump games…

this is becoming suicidal! ...Americans will pay the price of their idiotic vote! installing recipe for misery on your own allies and people..oh wait the people wanted it! at this point, putin would nuke America and some of us would clap!, its how far empathy is for Americans as we will all pay and only trump and his ogliarchs will cash in... frustrations are running high, we got screwed by the gullible

More Fentanyl comes from India than from China and you know he’s not going to say or do anything to piss them off or do anything for the American people

When will you support the American people cnn

do we all understand that the american people pay these tariffs so inflation will rise and stuff were use to will be way way more expensive.. is that what you voted for? its not what i voted for...\njust round up the illegals and leave the economy alone... maybe go after price gouging... but no to tariffs and no to more billionaire tax breaks.

So if old fatty starts a trade war again like he did the go around will Americans have to bale out farmers again,that will piss a bunch of people off, farmers stand on your own two feet!

No point talking about Trump’s tariff threat now! Damage is done! Stupid American people have voted, now deal with it!

Well the president of Mexico should just have a coke a cola that most of their people have to have or they throw a fit and need four and and love our American mad clothing and shoes and or Ford trucks and love and adore our American made movies on DVD and ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT ECT so my president elect DONALD J TRUMP is doing the right thing and if they don't like it and won't frickin pay them I know that my president elected DONALD J TRUMP is not heartless and probably send governor Abbott's and board control ECT a lot of Coke a cola that is American made and I hope their give it them with this statement just shut the fuck up iand get the fuck out of our country you sick people and happy travels

@davidyoung8875 \n0 seconds ago \nI don't think people realize that Canada has the MOST FRESH WATER ON THE PLANET. GOOD LUCK WORLD!!! \n \n \n \nReply \n \n \n@davidyoung8875 \n5 minutes ago (edited) \nheres an idea lets charge americans 3x the amount for fresh water. or better yet let's just cut the U.S. off of fresh water.

Trump is the son of an immigrant and his first and current wife are both immigrants.\n\nIf people actually hated him for the right and true reasons instead of making stuff up and causing people to not believe when actual valid reasons to hate him are stated, he wouldn't have won twice.\n\nBlanketly denigrate the people that support him (I disagree even though I wouldn't vote for him) as moronic, but it's almost always the people making baseless statements about him that show their lack of awareness and education on who exactly Trump is and what he stands for.\n\nObama's father was African and his wife is African American. \nCalling Trump against LEGAL immigration is as ridiculous as calling Obama anti-Black.

No African should be looking for reparation when their ancestors were heavily involved in the evil act of slavery. And before you say black Americans and Caribbean people have African ancestry (you know exactly what I mean). If you can show that between 1700-1900 your great- great - great grandparents resided in the USA or Caribbean and still carry their masters last names) I feel some of you folks are rewriting history, suggesting that they should be part of the reparations. Forget it!!!! I have personally heard Africans in particular Nigerians say with their own mouths that the Caribbean people and Africans Americans lack culture but theirs was intact because they were never enslaved. Forgetting that slaving was all about dismantling these people identity/dignity so they could be controlled. Now these people who looked down on their “so called brothers” are singing a different tune. No one should receive a penny especially if you cannot show any evidence how you are linked to the plantations in the USA or the LAC region.

This lady deserves every single thing that is coming to her. As a Mexican American woman I am appalled at her lack of empathy and compassion for her own people. These people make me sick because they refuse to see that he would deport them in a blink of an eye just by their color of their skin. SMH

First of all this lady sounds bias as hell how does she know how much money it will cost and how much the US has to spend they're already throwing money away and Ukraine billions of dollars each year so that's money they gonna stop immediately. American people have already spoken. Congress is controlled by the Republicans. I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be too difficult passing any laws or restrictions to get rid of these immigrants

Oh Lord. That man is pregnant. Ignorant people. The Mexican American lady feels superior. She does not care for her family.

Sent them up north or to the empty countries that need people.\n\nSend Trudeau with them and those who support them.\n\nGet Europeans in this country like Americans, Aussies, and UK that love this country.

My husband and I are engineers from the US and Mexico and have lived in Germany for 15 years. Both speak fluent German and have raised three kids here. Yes, many people are racist. But if you learn the language well it’s not that hard to integrate and then things get much better. Germans can be the best friends you’ve ever had, much better than superficial Americans, but it can be hard to break through the shell. We have always loved it here. But to be honest with the steadily declining economy, massive scarcity in housing, and no salary increases in years, we are considering leaving as well. The outlook isn’t good for the Automotive industry and we could make double or triple the salary elsewhere. It would be very difficult to pull up our roots now gs better get better quick or we won’t stay much longer.

As a native 68 yrs old Texan latina , she is an embarrassment to my people who are the real Americans. Go back where you came from a dictator.\nWith that accent she'll be deported ??

Is this fake news??? Biden-Harris and the Democrats wouldn't do anything to help President Trump or the American people.

So sad. This woman is suffering from a type of Stockholm Syndrome. She's under the illusion that those white Christian nationalists think of her as a real American. There seems to be so many people who immigrated legally and illegally to the United States who have accepted the denigration and internalized it to a point of self-loathing. They have split from the reality of their roots and feel superior to other immigrants and entitled. So sad that chronic xenophobia has destroyed their empathy. They're in for a very rude awakening when they find out that a large percentage of white America hates them as much as they hate current immigrants.

Take our country back? This coming from a Mexican-American? What country are you talking about? Get out of America if you don't love our country. America is already great, it doesn't need ignorant people like you in it.

Omg so ignorant? Trump Hate Foreigner people Trump Racist his Wife was Ilegal she is not American??

Knowing that ALL white, black and asian people in the USA are IMMIGRANTS that replaced the ENORMOUS diversity of native Americans, this is HILARIOUS

I agree with all you said. I left Canada in 2018 after struggling there for 20 years. I am fortunate to also have American citizenship. Unsure why I held out in Canada as long as I did. So much easier to live in the USA. One thing you missed were the lockdowns. It caused massive disruption to people’s lives and many friendships and families were destroyed. My mother left in 2022 for exactly those reasons. Many others that she’s met now in her current country of residence left for the same reasons. Trudeau. What can I say…??

There you go That’s an American People make their choices you don’t wanna get deported Apply for citizenship properly and become a citizen of this country if not leave. Don’t steal the benefits from people that I pay tax dollars with their whole life working in this country you don’t deserve opportunity you haven’t earned it

She supported Trump because mexican american think they are white and plays up to white people they don't even like you and mexican don't like black people that's why she voted for Trump all you people can do is keep wearing your tan colors

First, this is NOT your country, it belongs to Native Americans. If your azz isn't a Native American, you are an Immigrant! You people are as ignorant as it gets, along with that thing you all are worshipping and if not careful, gonna lead you all straight to hell! This country belongs to Native Americans, go back to where you came from and THEN maybe this country will be GREAT AGAIN!

Gross! Since Donald Trump has become the president elect, I have seen so many Hispanic Americans that were once themselves “illegal immigrants” make the statement that they would have no issues with family members and friends who are currently illegal, be deported?! The hypocrisy and complete disregard for others that are literally in the same position that they once were, is almost unimaginable! I was born and raised in this country, as were my parents, their parents, and their parents parents however, I have compassion for those people that have been discarded by their own families and friends for reasons I don’t fully comprehend ??‍♀️

The American people want the invaders out. Reducing their burden on the US will instantly fix many problems we currently have

People need to remember that your new nation and its culture should be 100% of your focus. If your ties to the old country are that important, then stay there. Canada is for Canadians, America is for Americans and Japan is the Japanese.

I don’t understand some of you people. If they show a Gallup poll that shows American sentiment against immigration is rising why be mad about it?

We spend billions of dollars on them that's insane we have veterans in our own American people over here living in the streets and we're not helping them so no time to sweep off the front porch go Trump go

Immigration is a propaganda based, old American slavery. If this country, that much prosperity, Why can not the residents, having more children's. People can not affordable children. They always projected number of jobs, available. The foolish, promises of fools paradise to make more arctic land filling with human beings. No more human trafficking. Why did , I scrapped PR from Canada . Because of real Hell in the world. Our India well superior than Canada.

If Trump is serious, he'll crash the economy. Deporting useful people is a HUGE drain on the economy. We'll have to work overtime just to maintain the SAME quality of life. We need to banish a lot of unproductive Americans before we worry about those who bent over backwards just to come to our country.

And these are the people my people have been fighting for to come here? BLACK AMERICANS LISTEN TO HER YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR PEOPLE WHO WILL ALWAYS BE AGAINST YOU THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN A BLACK AND BROWN FRIENDSHIP THEY HATE US JUSY AS MUCH AS THE OTHER GROUP!

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

This isn't about Trump, or anyone else. This is an American issue. 95% of illegals are from south of the border. Americans fight for their country. Black people fought and died for their freedom, equality and rights. If you have your own country fight for it!

People still don't understand the problem of deporting migrants. If the neighboring country refuses to take in the migrants, you can't deport them there. People just don't think things through. They'll probably build camps and then keep the people there.\n\nThe purchasing power of illegal immigrants was more than $254 billion in 2022, and undocumented households had a total income of $330 billion - they paid almost $76 billion in taxes\n\nSometimes I wonder what level of education people have. What will happen when people stop working and the places are filled with Americans? Prices will go up. By the way, illegal immigrants are not entitled to social benefits but pay taxes, who do you think benefits?

If the democrats listened instead of ignoring the american people and allow it to get worse, they might have had a chance at the elections.

It feels so foolish to keep trying bandaid solutions that harm the US labor pool. There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in regards to this. \n\n1. Most developed countries on earth are in the midst of or are preparing to deal with population crisis and depopulation. Strong immigration to the US stems this issue and is actually a huge advantage to the power and continuing visibility of the USA.\n\n2. Deportation and border control strike at the effect of immigration and leave the cause unharmed. People come to the USA because there's opportunities here, so why not make opportunities abroad?\n\nIf the USA were to remove benefits of dealing with china while offering massive incentives for moving manufacturing away from china directly to Latin America, not only would we be countering our Chinese dependency but we would also provide jobs at home and stem immigration. Not only that, but the businesses would be American and be controlled by Americans - a huge incentive to stay friendly to the USA.\n\nI don't know, just seems like our current policy and especially what Trump is suggesting are counter productive and stuck in a bygone way of thinking.
