Open: This is "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Jan. 25, 2026

I don't know what to make of this thing... I mean, on one hand, it's super sad that some young guy lost his life and all, and we gotta figure out why it happened? But at the same time, can we even talk about how messed up our immigration system is without blaming each other for being too soft on border security? I mean, if we're really gonna fix this, we need to have some real conversations about systemic issues, not just throw more money at it and call it a day . And don't even get me started on the fact that Canada is like "Hey, let's just be friends and talk about stuff" while our own politicians are still fighting over who gets to control the narrative... Ugh, I'm all confused now

I'm tryin' to wrap my head around this whole thing... it's like, what's the right way to handle situations like this? The Border Patrol guy is clearly traumatized and his department should be supportin' him more, ya know? At the same time, you gotta have some level of accountability for these officers who are supposed to protect everyone, not just their own kind. It's all about findin' that balance, I think. And what really gets me is how this whole thing has become a political game... it feels like we're losin' sight of what's really important here: keepin' people safe and treatin' 'em with dignity. Can't we just have a calm conversation about this without it gettin' all heated?

just watched that episode and i gotta say, it's super disheartening to see a human life lost in a situation that could've been avoided . like, we all know immigration is a complex issue but does it really have to come down to guns & violence? i feel bad for the family of the young man who got shot... his life was just so senseless . and omg, the part where the Canadian ambassador is talking about diplomatic engagement is giving me LIFE . let's work together on this instead of tearing each other apart! we gotta do better than this

I'm so worried about what's happening with our border patrol agents... they're human beings too, right? My 17-year-old son is already talking about how he wants to join the military, but I don't want him to have to deal with all the trauma and stress that comes with it. What's going on is so frustrating - on one hand, you need border control, but on the other, you gotta make sure our officers are treated fairly and trained properly . I'm just hoping for some answers soon and a way to bring some peace back to this situation .
