I wasn’t excited when he got elected, look what his father did, spend, spend, spend

Because they know they will be told too? Shoot, this wasn't a setup for a joke...

Some rehtoric is even suggesting going after children born in the US of immigrants, legal or otherwise.\n\nDeportation of that scale would include myself, who's ancestor came to the colonies on a now illegal indentured servitude contract to a country that wasn't even America at the time.

the problem with deporting any illegal immigrant is any one can be an illegal immigrant.\nRecently an American citizen who was born in the U.S was passing into the U.S from Canada and was waved through by border security, so technically he entered illegal because he wasn't inspected, therefore entered illegally. According to the supreme court American citizens don't have standing to challenge immigration or customs decisions., so he is an illegal alien.

3:59\n\nThis news show is demonstrating their bias. It wasn't a border security bill, it was a mass amnesty bill.

It wasn’t a border security bill it was an amnesty bill that would allow up to 23.5 million then cutoff illegals arriving. It only included one thing about the illegal crossing

And this is what we call, a ladder puller. Now that she was able to become a citizen, rather than helping her family members to get their legal status, which can be difficult, tedious and very expensive, she could care less if the lives they have already spent decades on building here are completely destroyed. She seems to be fully aware that it can be a difficult process, and I personally have seen that it’s not exactly a fair one either. I have seen some people spend not only years waiting on a hearing or a determination, but spend thousands they scrape together on lawyers and obtaining records, while others submit minimal evidence and get a determination in weeks. Instead of admitting that there are problems with the system and vote for people who are actually trying to help, she wants the same system that made it a difficult process for her to stay the same for them. In fact she voted for someone who is going to make it harder if not impossible for them to come back the right way in the first place. Is she not thinking? If they get deported, that is going into immigration records and when that gets pulled up when they apply to come back it will likely cause any legally efforts to return to be rejected. And who knows how long that will stay in their system? Could be years, could be permanent. Biden’s idea to help those undocumented who are married to citizens to be able to apply and get a temporary visa to stay here while they wait so that families wouldn’t have to be broken up by having the applicant return to their country of origin. That was not just a great idea from a humanitarian point, but they could apply for a job that wasn’t going to take advantage of them by paying below minimum wage, with no rights if they are injured. That could help bring local wages up. They would start contributing back by paying their fair share of taxes, and do on. Republicans in red states stopped it though and are suing the Biden administration for trying to do what? Help people and fix some of the issues that our broken immigration system has caused? \nSorry lady, but you earned your family’s ire and whatever treatment you get from the administration you voted for.

Wow he must be felt that way like everyday. it wasn’t a good feeling, feel sorry for him & brainwashed was succeeded

Yall do know the undocumented wasn't out there voting right?

taxes in Canada are pathetic, everytime you turn around a new tax shows up that wasn't there a minute ago!

I truly think you're sick in the head ask a Mexican how in the hell do you speak that way you came over and people that's been there as long as you you say you don't care if they get sent back when they come knocking on your door I would be happy? because of your damn ass I can see someone else saying that that wasn't Mexican Mexican like you you are lucky to get your car to be over here can you talk that way about other Mexicans all the foreigners you are sick you are sick

You’re not Mexican American lady! You were born in Mexico. You are Mexican. That’s how you are listed on government documents. She doesn’t realize that they will never see her as a true American. She’s an embarrassment to the culture. I say this as true Mexican American with love for my people regardless of legal status. There wasn’t ever an actual line where you stand and wait. She’s a freaking liar. Bruja!

I wonder how many trump supporters are getting deported. If it wasn’t so said you’d laugh.

She ain’t no Mexican American she’s a Mexican who thinks she’s American just cause she got her citizenship & can speak some English, Gurl bye ? take back “OUR” country like she wasn’t born in Mexico this here is what you call a vende patrias

This is one dumb Mexican ... Trump don't give two shits about her legal or otherwise. His America includes only those that looks like him....period! She said take out country back...boo boo that slogan wasn't meant for YOU...

Doesn't she know that round up applys to her she wasn't born here .Unbelievable ? your not Mexican American Viejas Pendeja .Educate your self on his policy By felisha ?

What most MAGA supporters don't realize is that we're currently living in Trump's economy. The reality is that while he wasn't in office, he used the House as his own personal veto to block any substantial legislature from passing under Biden/Harris, so it makes them look incompetent. The economy bottoms out, countries go to war, the border explodes. I won't say it's all Trump's fault, however. As with the border, just like when Trump wanted to get rid of Obamacare but didn't have anything to replace it, Biden removed Trump's border policies with nothing to replace it. At least Trump didn't get rid of Obamacare without having something to replace it. Just too many mistakes on Democrats part, and too much interference from Trump from the outside. Now Trump will have unchecked power, just one step closer to a dictatorship.

I wonder if all her paperwork was 100% done correctly? The last Trump administration we deported veterans that were promised citizenship if they served because paperwork wasn’t done perfectly. Would you bet your life on 100% perfection and 100% proper record keeping? Heck the records of my parent’s divorce were lost in a fire so my mom had to ask my dad if he still had the paperwork 40 yrs later when she needed it for something.

If Trumps a wannabe dictator why didn't he support unconstitutional vaccine mandates and supports gun ownership? Also why wasn't he supported by warmongers like liz Cheney/bush as well??? None of you demorats can answer my question ?

Wasn’t the billionaire ELON MUSK an illegal immigrant ❓

Lmao, your kidding trump isn't going to be able to deport 1 million immigrants in a year? Does that mean we were lied to? I'm sure it wasn't a lie, though. I am sure it's only because he is busy with Zelensky & Putin now that he stopped that war in it's tracks.

That's, mine She wasn't came legale olso

I love how he thinks getting one percent more than the Democrats makes it a fucking mandate for them, but when Biden had more than 51% of the boat that somehow wasn’t a mandate, and they obstructed every single thing the Democrats try to do even though they won the vote.

Didn't the wall get built and wasn't it paid for by Mexico??? That's what trump promised in his first term, correct? \n\nDidn't he also promise to repeal Obamacare with a better and cheaper plan?

Until they come to take her granddaughter and grandson who wasn’t born here away or until its a problem with citizenship because ice found out the parents snuck in this country to just have that baby thinking it would be ok…\nPEOPLE LIKE HER WILL FIND OUT THE HARD WAY GET READY BECAUSE ITS COMING… \nYou think the republican party wants you here??? When the majority already feel like its to many of you?? \nLatinos will be begging dems to let them back in after this 4 years is up… watch and see

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

LOL!! I can’t help but notice this lady says “we need to take back OUR country” AFTER she’s secured her “GREEN CARD”!! Not sure if she realizes that many Americans consider people not born here as “outsiders” whether you have a “green card” or not!! SHE IS VERY LUCKY SHE ALREADY HAS HER “GREEN CARD” OR she’d be one of the many going back to their own country soon! \n\nPretty sure TRUMP views ANYONE who wasn’t born here doesn’t belong here, EXCEPT HIS & J.D. VANCE’s SPOUSES OF COURSE! But I think he may be concentrating on people that came in under Biden’s Administration for now??

This man said that once the illegal people are out, violent crime will come down ? do he know american on American crime is higher than illegal people committing a crime, are they going to sent the Americans out the country also.Last time I seen it wasn't illegal immigrants shooting up Schools ,groceries stores ,at former presidents

Why is the media acting like this is a surprise? Its what Trump ran on and its what the American people WANT! How is this so hard for people to understand? This wasn't some hidden agenda or anything, it was very clear, and PEOPLE WANT IT. He won the popular vote and electoral college. We don't want illegals here, plain and simple. Look at Europe, Sweden is offering Immigrants $34,000 To Leave Country, they let them in, gave them housing, taxpayer money, realized the mistake and now offering MORE tax money for them to LEAVE!

I finally understand all this support for Donald Trump. It took me a while. This isn't a small number, it's in fact now The Majority!! Hitler wasn't that popular at first either. Like in 1930s Germany and The Jews, illegals will be allowed to leave a while; then the Gestapo tactics can fully begin on those that didn't believe. I'm pretty sure many here are salivating already.

So the bill Republicans helped write wasn't going to do that? Where will they go? To starve? Skeletons dead up against the fence?

Wasn’t Bash’s ex husband one of the 51 intelligence officers who said the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation? ?

People and companies who hire should always have been prosecuted. It wasn't done because so many businesses do it, they need the cheap labor. Deport those cheap workers and see what happens to prices in the USA

? weren't the pilgrims illegal. Wasn't America built on, immigrants ?.

The poem First they came... was written by Martin Niemöller. It is a criticism of the way people in Nazi Germany did not stop the Nazi Party from treating other people poorly. \n \nThe poem is as follows:[1] \n \nFirst they came for the Communists, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Communist. \nThen they came for the Jews, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Jew. \nThen they came for the Catholics, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I was a Protestant. \nThen they came for me, \nand by that time there was no one \nleft to speak up for me.

She wasn’t even born here… Lord have mercy!

Wasn't that his job?

Harper said it best in 2015: “Trudeau isn’t ready.” He wasn’t ready then and he isn’t ready now. He has been an utter failure as a PM and as a Canadian.

I especially love the way CNN loves to trash Miami Cubans. It’s like their favorite pastime. The only difference is this time. It’s not our fault completely that the orange won is it? I think there was a red wave all across the country wasn’t there so you can’t blame it on us sweetheart

Trump knows he can weild a magic wand to make sweeping changes. The Us government operates within set systems and precdures that will take years and much resistance to overturn. But again, he wasn't campaigning to enlightened minds. His bogus promises were enough for them to jump.

So, she stood in line and waited, wasn’t she supposed to apply first?

I remember a lot of promises in 2016, but we got something much different, and it wasn't better.

Thank you CNN for this amazing moment in history. It wouldn’t have been so sweet if it wasn’t for you and your fellow mainstream subversive news network failing so miserably ???

To all the Latino small businessman in their community just know you reap what you sow You're talking about the economy is not working for you ? now you just voted to disrupt and have your own business file for bankruptcy or closure. Because all the people that supported you in your community that wasn't legal is now going to be moving to safer place or be deported and your business is going to crash like a runaway car.

If that immigrant wasn’t here, issues avoided. Simple solution.

Why wasn't Trump able to close the border completely when he was the president in 2016-2020.

Fail to see what was racial. Customer was upset because the delivery guy wasn't going to give him his change.\n\nI do think he over reacted, but to call this racial is in fact false victim-hood and for anyone that isn't stupid (yes, a lot of stupid comments), can see exactly what's happening here.

To hear the heartless words of this woman to say her family can be deported back is very cold. The same family members you would need as you get older who probably won't be there for you now. SMH. ?. To really think that man care about you. Every chance he gets with every nationality he wants to disrespect call names and that is not the American way. He talks about the immigrants in a very bad way lady I hope your vote wasn't cast yet ?

She’s not Mexican American, she wasn’t born here in the US. She’s straight up Mexican. She’s a naturalized US Citizen.
