President Donald Trump has stated that he will improve the United States economy with massive deportation of undocumented migrants\n, layoffs of government workers , deep cuts in social security benefits for disabled citizens or the elderly , and reduction of medicaid . \n However , a significant number of Americans are unaware that Trump is also planning to reduce the taxes for the rich , and give billions of more money to Israel or engage in unwinnable wars in West Asia . It should also be noted that Trump's theories to make America great again will have a disastrous effect on the economy or on life in the United States, especially because he is also about to start a trade war by significantly increasing tarrifs or duties on imported goods and products from China, Canada and Mexico \nAs a result, the Trump plan for the next four years may simply make America poor again.

Well done!!??? Biden, Kamala,Mayorkas, so sad for immigrants and for American citizens.

On every corner is a homeless Citizen or a Veteran sleeping on the sidewalk unable to get any sort of assistance, housing is scarce and rent is high, while many working Americans can barely afford to put food on the table, keep the lights on and pay rent?? \nThis is NOT ok. We need to ramp up the border security. What makes them think they can avoid deportation long term?? What makes them think they deserve assistance while our own people are suffering and dying on the streets? Why should we care about immigrants when we can't help our own people??! Make it make sense!! I didn't agree to give illegals a free ride while working my a$$ off while the threat of homelessness or extreme poverty hanging over my head every effing day!!!

The Target is Illegal, the key word! IIlegal! Don’t matter who you are! How is that folks have a problem with this? If we as Americans citizens were in their country illegally, bet your ass! They would arrest us, jail us and deport our ass out of their country!

My wife came to America from Russia over 20 years ago.. It took her 3 1/2 years to get approval to come to America legally… she’s now an American citizen.. it’s people like her that are livid over this mess. I’m sick of these bleeding heart liberals acting like we’re supposed to let everybody in because they want a better life…. Fix your own country. Don’t be a drain on us.

This is very big deal for Trump, Deportations of Africans Citizens in America ,Africa is better,And i tell you ,believes on not,Americans living in Africa can attest that.

American citizens who don't know what the word illegal mean than they need to be deported along side the illegal immigrants regardless of their natural born citizens or not America is better off without these dumb azz

The entitlement from these Hispanics citizens from Latin American countries is astounding.

repatriation drives,” a series of informal raids that took place around the United States during the Great Depression. Local governments and officials deported up to 1.8 million people to Mexico, according to research conducted by former California State Senator Joseph Dunn, who in 2004 investigated the deportations under President Herbert Hoover. Dunn estimates around 60 percent of these people were actually American citizens, many of them born in the United States to first-generation immigrants.\n\nU.S. Immigration Before 1965\n\n\n?? ? ? \nThe logic behind these raids was that Mexican immigrants were supposedly using resources and working jobs that should go to white Americans

They not marching with a flag and crying and marching like another race who say they are American citizens, you are illegally here if you came not the legally way no matter what race you are

My goodness....\nThats alot of F-u-c-king illegally immigrants in America. How the heck did they enter into America in the first place. \nIm an American citizen and i cant even cross the borders of canada and united states in peace lol ?

And the American Citizens want them all out of our Country!

Better carry your paperwork on you if you have dark skin before name, you might find yourself being rounded up. One man was already picked up at a restaurant at work. He had a green card legally allowed to be here. Didn’t stop them from dragging away think about being held for 8 to 12 hours Being legally allowed to be here or being an American citizen and your family not knowing where you’re at the last time Donald Trump was in office. American citizens were deported south of the border and two were shot in the living room. One gentleman was deported an American citizen who had diabetes. They deported him yet no medication on him no money to country. He didn’t know he died on the streets. Please stop thinking it can’t happen to you Donald Trump right now is rounding up American Indians Navajo and Saint American citizens it’s time to call your son your senators your governors. It’s time to speak out. Stop standing there, thinking it won’t happen to you.

Yes. We voted for our nation leaders to protecting our safety, our economic policies, our national security. \nThey came with hidden agendas that not aligned with our traditional values. \nThey came working under-tables, not paying fair taxes, they laundering money back to theirs motherland, they took the benefits from our natural American citizens.

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 .

Start hiring Americans and pay them, there's plenty of citizens looking for work, PLENTY.

What makes the US such a Paradise is ALL those FREEBIES they are getting under the guise of SO MANY grants and fundings from the Federal Government put in places by the previous Administration. Most of these fundings are on hold by the current Trump Administration for reevaluation and reassessment. The thing that the Chicago Governor is talking about is that what US citizens are enjoying as benefits and services are the same thing that these illegal immigrants and migrants are getting. NOT FAIR to the American people. That’s why those findings needed to be put on hold. Our President Trump is PUTTING Americans first. Fixing United States of America first.

My family has been here for many many generations and some of them were native Americans. Now I am in my 70's and cannot stretch my social security to last 4 weeks. But the past biden regime gave the invaders millions and refused to give the senior citizens a survivable raise and it is our own money. LBJ stole from ss and all the other government thieves stealing from the tax payers to support the invaders. The invaders spread the word that the U S A will make them rich so here they come. Deport all of them and close the border. I am sick and tired of supporting all of these other countries.

Not American. But it is shameful to read how some Americans in here cant even respect someone wanting to serve their country and them. These ppl are ready to give their lives for the so-called 'freedumb' americans are always braggin about. And what they get in return is being reduced to something as primitive as genitals. Shame on anyone who has more an issue with what a fellow human identifes with than the mad tangerine in the white house that is actively destroying the US and democracy. Let's see how far these ppl are willing to serve their fellow citizens like trans soldiers do. Oh right... they dont. Cuz all they care about is themselves. Much respect to her for speaking out and wanting to serve her country. ?

They muchachas are rushing to pop out a couple of american citizens. Then they can eventually be legal. What a scam

Illegal Immigration cost 120 billion last year. Meanwhile of you would give every American citizen 200k a year it would cost 40 billion. ?

Finally, we have a safe border. We need to help American citizens first, especially military veterans, who are natural born citizens from day one. Repair America's infrastructure beginning with its actual citizens.

and how many of these want to do harm to American citizens?

1- , 2 Colombian planes just arrived in the USA to take its deported citizens\n\n2- Venezuela doesn't allow deported Venezuelans from ANY country, NOT ONLY USA, a couple of S. American countries already tried\n\n3- If imported goods from Colombia become too expensive, then, that will benefit other countries like Ecuador and Peru that have the same type of goods that are imported from Colombia.. like coffee, flowers, tropical fruits, etc.\nAnd for those, like AOC, who think that they can't live without their Colombia coffee... well, they haven't tried Peruvian coffee, which is now considered among the best in the world \n\n4- The main reason why the Colombian government gave in to Trump's demands was not only bcz the tariffs but the fact that Trump threatened them with deporting and canceling all visas for all Colombian government members and their relatives........

BOTTOM LINE- If you care more about illegals than your fellow American citizens you are a TRAITOR!!

They are not American citizens. They have NO rights here!

This is an invasion! We need to deploy more military at the border. We cannot take care of the world. Americans are tired of seeing our own as second class citizens. What we are spending on illegals should be spent on Americans in need. This is the fault of the Democratic Party attempting to build a permanent voter base. In doing so, they have shown contempt for Americans.

This ain’t good!!\nAs an American citizen that’s pays taxes I hornslty feel so bad for these people \nYet I would say the democrats r pure evil for allowing this happen and instigating this to occur- they wanted more iligals for more votes and u see this occur \nDemocrats should be dragged to the border and forced to watch the fruit of their policies \nYet I’m sure they r in Ghana or so where abroad

A giant step forward on securing US borders and keeping American citizens safe! We are so grateful!! ?

as per capita canada has more guns per citizen then the americans.

WHO does the tariffs hurt? AMERICAN CITIZENS!\n\nA 5th grade Civics student knows more about tariffs than the President of the United States!

These are human beings. Mostly hard-working human beings. Humans that would cherish a life in this country so much, they will do nothing wrong to protect that opportunity. There are plenty of people we shouldn’t be deporting. Unfortunately, most our US citizens. Thugs sucking away American taxpayerseither in prison or on welfare staying home eating buckets of chicken while collecting a check because they don’t want to go to work.

How'd this end for you guys? If you are in the Country Illegally, you have committed a crime. Go back to where you came from and make it a place you'd like to live. Run for politics, start a business. You do not have a right to affect American Citizens and ruin the economy. Grow Up Y'all.

NO. Go back home\n Go home. Americans will no longer allow these illegals to drain our taxes that takes away from the ones who have suffered worked, done without all our lives. F these criminals! GO HOME, MAKE your Home Great. Stop stealing from our country. After all your leader will protect their citizens. \nMAGA??????????

America needs to include tariffs on companies that outsource jobs to countries like India and the Philippines. Healthcare policies should be revisited to better serve American citizens. Taxpayer money should focus on domestic priorities rather than being sent abroad. Strengthening U.S. borders with a permanent military or National Guard presence is essential for national security. Additionally, we must reassess our involvement in endless foreign wars and critically examine the underlying dynamics of global control, power and wealth influence by Israel real agenda!

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.

Here it is again my fellow Americans. Another bumbling democrat mess Trump has to clean up. Putin only invades and destroys ukraine when democrats are in charge. 2014/obama2022/biden. There is a correlation between democrats/putin and ukraine getting invaded and destroyed. Not me, not Trump. democrats and their vote. Dont worry my democrat friends. Trump will clean up the democrat ukraine mess, Trump will clean up the bumbling democrat california mess, the democrat Gaza mess, the millions of foreign citizens democrats flooded into the USA mess., The price of eggs mess, Americas enemies on the march all over the world mess. What a bumbling democrat joke on the American people. The American people are back in charge now. We will clean up the bumbling democrat mess.

PREDICTION: The rise of international tariffs will ultimately uncover a huge underbelly of unemployment ironically in the USA and create a wave of an unexpected underbelly of poverty unseen by America in many years. USA will suffer in the next 4 years due to tariff wars and causing its international allies work in new relationships with its unexpected competitors such as China. The EU will learn how to live without relying on the USA - as is the same with China and other countries. America will have to self-rely on itself - causing it to recycle its own money over and over again to try and create home-grown industries that will initially be very expensive to run. \n\nCompetitive countries will strike deals with American allies and form new relationships that the USA hadn't foreseen - and the era will illustrate an international 'Us' vs US mentality. Countries will turn their back on America, knowing they can work well together than rely on the USA. \n\nThe average US citizen will be receiving tax rise after tax rise, causing more poverty within states and due to the 'xenophobic tariff mentality' - will find the middle income earner slip down to a lower grade, and ripple this effect. Medical aid will only benefit the rich while everyone else will pay for minimum service but premium for medication. \n\nThe price of food and transport will quadruple over the next 4 years, not because of the natural progression of price rise, but immediately due to tariff wars. \n\nAmericans, ultimately pay for tariffs - bullying words of 50 percent tariffs on another country means a surge in prices for everyday goods Americans take for granted. The only winner is the Government - which means it chooses what to spend on. \n\nA recession will hit hard....AGAIN -- on the USA.

Colombia has taken so many evil people and poor destitute people from Venezuela as refugees and it can’t absorb them but Colombians normally come legally to the USA and make great Americans my family in law for example are good conservative people who support Trump and I’d like to have my family in the USA all in one place especially is colombia will turn into Venezuela under a corrupt regime who has ruined everything and hurt most of the citizens idk how he won if he did even win but the USA came into Colombia before to stabilize it and it worked for a long time and there are 30,000 U.S. expats here or people with family ties or like me who happened to marry into a Colombian family. Not long ago I saw Trump with former President Duque and their wives and there was a beautiful relationship and colombia was booming in one year the USA must put back the former establishment and restabilize the mess that has been made under this communist guerrilla member and I hope saying this doesn’t bring lash back to me or my family here in Colombia. But my husband and me want to come home to the USA as soon as possible he isn’t a criminal his father is a Pastor at a small countryside church they don’t deserve this.

American citizens are struggling. We can’t support the entire third world so democrats can win future elections.

You know what’s gonna happen? US applies tariffs on literally the whole world and the whole world doesn’t feel a thing except American citizens feeling the pinch and then Donald Trump takes credit for reducing the country’s debt from making their citizens poorer.

The American billionaires are exactly those people who import narcotics for sale to their own citizens!

I had supported the deportation of undocumented people with criminals records back to them own country, but Mr T is deporting undocumented people who are working in industries that many Americans will never work, and treating them as criminals, placing them in airplane chained and hand cuffed. Also, a interesting fact is, he is only targeting people from Central America, Brazil, but a lot of undocumented immigrants are from Europe, Asia…maybe because they are not “brown people” like he once said, let us see what will happen when the prices of some services and products start rising, how citizens will react.

i get it... i do... but man its so hard to see. those aren't terrorists! they're obviously people seeking a better life! is it possible to legally immigrate here? absolutely. my cousin did it. but its not easy. most american citizens wouldn't be able to pass that test, and its an expensive and lengthy process. i do feel so bad for these people. =(

Is that the kind of American citizen you want to share your country/home with? NOT ME. SCREW THAT!

I can't believe that so many young children can be seen here! That's such a dangerous situation for parents to put them in! Apply for citizenship the right way so you can bring your family safely! Then, when your family is here with proper documentation, you'll be able to raise them in security without fear of deportation. I hate to see children going through this. They're at the mercy of their parents' judgement & things could be so much better for them if they weren't dragged through traumatic situations like this, just so their parents can cut corners. Why in the world can't you apply for citizenship the proper way? If your criminal record is the reason that you can't, well that's on you. If there are records of you pulling crap like this, you'll probably never be able to get here the proper way. Instead of choosing to be an actual American citizen, you'd rather choose to live your life as a fugitive & force your kids to live that way too? Give your family a real chance here by following the proper process to become citizens. You'll get a very different reception here.

Not so sure the American dream is to break into the United States by sneaking over the border illegally and taking benefits in an unlimited way. How about congress starts taking a serious approach to creating an immigration policy codified in the form of a constitutional amendment that provides protections and benefits to the American citizens while simultaneously making the process more efficient and transparent. At the same time pass a law that requires the federal government and border states to cooperate and be funded to make the border airtight.

How soon before people realize that other countries dont pay tariffs and they get passed on to american citizens?

Thank you Colombia for respecting human rights.\n\nTariff war is senseless , American citizens will pay the tarrif any way eventualy reduced supply of coffee means price increase for the American citizens.?

American citizens are the ones that are going to pay for the tariffs
