Good if you want immigrants coming into the US go to another country you don’t belong here you are not a patriot

The left has been doing this for my entire life, and I’m old. Put it this way the left has no respect for democracy or laws at all don’t let the fool you into believing otherwise. They hide their law breaking as a “human right” almost always. Like the current immigration debate and past as well. The reality of you look at the number’s is that their friends want slaves.

LOL. average of 3.3 million migrants last year.... 500 000 were illegal. You are worried about 13000 from the Canadian border. DOnald did nothing but move his mouth and made noise. His threats mean nothing. We already had border security addressed. We already are doing what we were doing and Donald did.... nothing.... same as Mexico....DOnald demanded 10 000 guards on Mexican border.... so Mexico took away 10 000 from the 20 000 they had at the border. Your leader is an idiot and you are believing him? Americans think this is a win.... but you did nothing but end free trade. Now your allies trade for FREE with the world.... You get no minerals, no energy, no oil.... because your leader negotiated by bullying..... and you cannot bully a country unless you want to start a war. Your leader is a moron... do not drink the kool aid.... because when the immigrants are gone.... who is next to blame for crime and housing crisis?

I sincerely don't understand why people have an issue with people who came here illegally getting deported. It's not at all racially motivated or discrimination. Whether they are serious criminals or just entered illegally - it is not right for them to be here, or be provided services paid for by tax paying Americans. As an educated American citizen, If I want to move to UK or European countries I have to jump through many hoops, prove I have my own money to support myself, and possibly meet a language requirement. Why is it that we just accommodate anyone who wants entry to USA? It baffles me. I have friends all upset about deportations and it's ridiculous. I can't understand why we bother to have any laws if we don't enforce them? I have 2 family members who immigrated here LEGALLY. That's the only way it should be allowed and we should up the requirements to gain entry as well.

New Yorkers want immigrants to replace black workers. It's simple. Most young New Yorkers are racist. Black Council members are uncle Tom's. All of them know that those same immigrants hate blacks. In Chicago, the immigrants bragged about taking jobs and money from blacks. The city council blacks know that.

Canada wants immigration but what we have is an uncontrolled invasion.?

Saudi Arabia doesn't want them,Egypt doesn't want them,Jordan doesn't want them,America doesn't need any more immigrants.

Please, stay in India, nobody in Canada wants, or asked for more of your scam entitled culture mass immigrating

Thought Musk wanted Indian immigrants because they 'work harder'

Despite being the 5th largest economy, India still faces significant challenges in wealth distribution and visa compliance. While economic strength is a factor in visa approvals, it is not the only consideration. One major issue is visa misuse and overstaying. With a population of 1.4 billion, even if 10% were to overstay in foreign countries, that would be 140 million people—almost half the population of the United States. This creates serious concerns for immigration systems worldwide, leading to strict visa vetting processes for Indian applicants.\nFurthermore, while India’s economy is large, the majority of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. A high GDP does not necessarily mean the average citizen enjoys financial security. Many people seek better opportunities abroad, sometimes through illegal means, which further justifies the need for stringent immigration policies.\nAnother issue that affects how Indians are perceived abroad is the behavior of some tourists. While not all are at fault, a growing number of incidents involving disrespectful behavior, disregard for local laws, and unruly conduct have led to Indian tourists gaining a negative reputation in some countries, including Nepal. This has made them among the least desired tourists in certain regions.\nUltimately, visas are not just about how much money a country has. Factors like overstays, illegal migration risks, and tourist behavior all play a role in shaping immigration policies. Respect and reputation are earned, not entitled. If you want to be welcomed and respected abroad, it’s essential to create a positive impression through responsible actions and cultural sensitivity.

Thank you God for our border patrols and I want them to know that they are sooo appreciated!!!!!! This is our country!!!!! We could not enter theirs without everything being legal and us paying our dues, so guess what you want to come to our country do it the right legal way,!!!!! Like other immigrants have done soooooo legally

I have a question for all ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS who want to enter the US: Okay, if the country opens the borders for you, what/how will you serve the country? With what resources? With what money? With what education/talent? And how can you be sure that you are BETTER than the people who are already there? I mean, there has to be a benefit to taking you in for FREE.

Don’t they understand that being in the USA illegally could land them in Guantánamo Bay Cuba for cruel and unusual torture by the USA? Why on earth would they want to come into a country like the USA which is declining? There is no freedom or liberty here. The USA is still a master and slave economy just in different ways with white supremacist British Americans leading the master and slave relationships.\n\nThey should really stay in their countries and force renewal of those countries \n\nBut the US is dying, and the end of the USA is approaching. Clearly the British Americans, who are in charge see this and will either commit suicide of the country or commit mass genocide of the Americans while the British Americans escape. \n\nThe USA is no great place to be \n\nThe conversation in the USA is strictly between the white masters excuse me, the British ethnic white masters and their black slaves, who are basically wage slaves. \n\nThree chairs to the Mexican border patrol, and Mexican police trying to contain this massive crowd. \n\nI strongly suggest that businessman who are Mexican citizens who can manage soccer stadiums filled with these illegal immigrants help to contain this population of liberation seekers, and two persuade them into becoming citizens of central or South American countries or of other countries, such as Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and such where they probably would have a better Sense of stability, especially in mainland, Europe, but not the United Kingdom, which is the troublemaker behind each of their countries problems

I haven’t been working my ass off all my life in the US to pay for illegal immigrants. Keep them out. If they want to cross legally…so be it. But no more illegals. Period!

Migrants or immigrants whatever you call them i want them all out including those dirty turbans and sandals they wear

I find it very difficult to feel any sympathy for these ILLEGALS resorting to doing ILLEGAL s h i t like this. This only goes to prove that placing an order to have them removed in the first place was and is the right and BEST decision made. Tired of them playing the victims. \n\nIF YOU BREAK THE LAW - YOU HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME... AND YES THAT MAKES YOU A CRIMINAL. \n\nIf you want to come here, do it the right and leg way. If not, dont get all a s s hurt about ICE detaining you and your family and deporting back to your home country. \n\nThis applies to ALL UNDOCUMENTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS...

Democrats are clueless, housing costs are nuts and mass immigration is ONE of the reasons why. Yet they want more illegals.

What you don't understand you not wanted , illegally enter and get hunted down and deported then your identity keep on file for never getting legal immigration for your attempt to enter illegally.

All they want to do is abuse our social systems we cannot afford the housing for everybody that doesn't pay into our system come into the country legally the legal way I will support you with immigration I will help you if you are weak I will use my tax money to make sure that your family is safe but please come to this country the legal way we are a melting pot we always have been immigrants have made this country the way it is we are all immigrants we took this land from the indigenous people That's all long said and done now we have a government and a society that works with working people helping each other out come in the legal way and you are welcomed with open arms You come in illegally and abuse our system and don't want to assimilate to our country and make us assimilate to you absolutely not hell no

All you Trump supporters refused to comprehend that only people who are black and bronwn being deported. Immigrants come from all over the world. You don't see any white person being stopped and asked for an I.D. or paperwork. But, hate is the only thing people see and want against those from other race that are not white. Maybe other countries should not allowed anyone from the U.S. to enter their country in retaliation.

When we look at Trump's view, he looks like to be right because he wants to send immigrants, such as Indian and Pakistani, back to their countries to remove those who have committed or may potentially commit crimes. However, he does not implement this decision in a way that aligns with human rights. Therefore, he should solve this immigration problem in a way that respects human rights.

I am indian if they are illegal they need to be kicked out nothing wrong in this just like in our place we want to kick out bangaladesi illegal immigrants......??????

But who wants to immigrate to this country!?

Lol\n\nDeports illegal immigrants from US but wants the native Palestinians to give up their country to the illegal immigrants from Europe. \n\nThe Zionists terrorists atheist group

Who cares? Nobody wants illegal immigrants in the USA. Why did they come in illegally? Because Biden let them.

Well nothing like that, I live in Canada and can verify that. Problem is quality of immigrants, especially student is trash in Canada, Australia and Europe. They come to shady universities for studies, work full time both legally and illegally rather than studying and at end of their education, they have a fake degree with zero value. Just like most of the new graduates in India who have a degree with no practical value. \nIf you have a good degree, right skills in tech and some experience, there are tons of opportunities in Canada. I cuss Canada everyday but that's because I lived 10 years of life - studies and work in USA. So whether I move to Canada or any other country in the world, I would do the same as US has no equal in the world. I lived in US for 10 years, then India for 3 years and came to Canada 3 years back. I would still move to India after getting Canadian citizenship, but not because Canada has something bad or India has something exceptional to offer, but because I want to live with my parents in India. Thats the reason I left US but came to Canada to get a backup.

I have no problem with illegal immigrants being sent back—law is law. But what about the highly trained doctors, engineers, and CEOs who got their IIT/AIIMS education using Indian taxpayers' money, only to flee abroad for better salaries? If they want to stay in the USA, fine—that's their choice. But they shouldn't be allowed back in India when it suits them, nor should their relatives be allowed to demand their presence when needed. Instead, the Indian government should video-call them regularly, showing them all the new facilities and opportunities being created here, even planning a new city just for their return! Let’s see if they really care about India or just enjoy foreign comforts while pretending to miss home...

Even them the African countries you cannot enter their countries as you like and as you wish without proper documents. I usually watch Itchy Boots that lady Noraly criss crossed Africa and those officials of immigration wanted her to show them papers border to border..there is nothing special and new. Law is Law and every country is SOVEREIGN...

We Americans want every single illegal immigrant deported like yesterday. We the tax payers have had enough. All choices have consequences.

Malayalam language movie called C.I.A. promotes illegal immigration to USA. In that a Christian boy takes help of Marxist politicians in Kerala and Mexico (because Marxist everwhere are like a clan) to enter USA on foot. While walking to USA the hero also find a good Malayali girlfriend. What more you want! Perfect advertisement for illegal immigration.

If US do not want immigration legal or illegal from other countries, United States of Terrorism should stop interfering in other counties and mind their own MOFO business. Let all countries progress on their own and stop creating conflicts so they can sell their weapons to feed the next generation of untied states of Terrorism.

We have had immigrants at our borders before. Don’t believe Felon president’s mass hysteria. I live in Texas. We’ve always deported illegals when caught and they are frequently deported. We have had border patrol and a wall for decades and decades . We have the military if necessary. Mexico has police on their side. \n\nThe felon just wants you to be distracted by this while he chips away at our democracy. \n\nThe real danger is the convicted Felon in the White House who broke our laws and thinks he is above the law!!!! Also that crazy billionaire who is collecting our data from the treasury. That’s not okay! He should be sued by the American people! I do not consent to Elon musk having access to any of my info!

America is basically made up of immigrants, but in the past they were willing to do it legally, and if they want to come over, continue to do it legally or not at sll

Legal immigration could help the USA......Bring back some of jobs most people who live in the USA don't want to do.... increase our tax base. Lower our food prices.... Help build more houses. Factories jobs will not pay a lot for manual labor again, those days are over ... but we will still need engineers.... computer IT people.ect..If young people don't get an education or get into a trade you will be out of luck.

What I don’t get is America isn’t against immigrants coming to America (the legal way) but people want to protest coming here illegally and are upset people are getting deported because they didn’t come the legal way. I work with a ton of guys that came to America the legal way and are all for deporting the illegals back to where they came from. The legal immigrants work hard and pay taxes and illegals don’t pay taxes they get benefits and haven’t paid their dues like the legal immigrants had to do to get in. Taking care of illegals takes away from Americans getting the help they need and we have to pay taxes. They protest and wave the Mexico flag holding signs saying “Immigrants built America” and $hit on the things America has done for them. If they built America and are so proud to be from Mexico then why don’t you build Mexico up like you say you did in America. If it’s so great why are you coming to America illegally and running from your country. Do you think protesting and blocking streets and highways is going to get you anywhere with Trump and do you think your going to win the American people over by pissing them off doing stupid things like blocking highways and Streets. You don’t win people over by pissing them off and you don’t win Americans over Shitting on America waving your flag when this country has done more for you then your own country. If you came here illegally and broke the law then you should’ve thought about that before doing it and being put on the ICE list.Go back and by all means come back when your legally allowed and while you wait for that to happen and the papers to go through build up your own Country!

I could give 2 fucks about their situation & trauma's. Guess what the world is brutal, ruthless, unforgiving, & dangerous. USA is no better. We have our problems as well & it's not easy. If their so proud of their heritage, nationality, culture, & ethnicity. They should go & stay in their own country & fight for the rights. Don't flee as soon as something gets hard & difficult. Blaming others for their problems. Instead of trying to impede & illegally force your way into another country as if your entitled to it or as if the world owes you something. Nobody owes or has to give you shit. \nThis is unfair to the many legal immigrants & US citizens. Who had to wait years & decades just to get approved with sponsorships. Having to fight their way to get accepted. An these illegals come in like it's fun & games. Pulling the waterworks as if we have to succumb to their will. Were struggling to help ourselves & they want us to help them. This is utterly ridiculous.

I want to see if they're going to do this to any European countries... Really ironic how his wife was an illegal immigrant... Wonder if they're going to start talking about how Mexico is deporting Americans. Things are getting crazy right now

Its just tht thy dont want useless immigrants in their country...comè in as tourist Visa n doing illegal job or not on Work permit may cause alot of crimes in e country..\nAs these immigrants from their country..e Govtmt hv not provide their own citizens of any policies...\nThese immigrants - r thinking its akways greener on other side..\nBut it proves wrong..

And the settlers are removing them and will never show them Peace..you mix immigrants with people that don't want them here..what did you think would happen.

Lets keep i real. The desire that most immigrants have is homeostasis which is the familiar. All humans do this. Individually indians are usually smart and decent people. But in groups ( and this doesnt just include indians) you get this group thinking that is prejudice against anyone who isnt one of their own. Im fairly certain its a good demonstration of what a different culture would experience in their own country. This is especially noticeable in markem with the Chinese population. \n\nLet me say this loud and clear. We didnt let you come here so you could start your own countries inside of our country. And beleive me, your gunna get rocked and put in your place if you guys keep coming here and being disrespectful. That goes for the any culture who is putting themselves first at the expense of other Canadians, and im not talking about white canadians im talking about all Canadians from anywhere. We re all equal and you will not be allowed to position your selves in a way that gives you immunity to these values. \n\nIm getting really tired of going into business like tim hortons and knowing what the nationality of the owner is by just looking around at the staff who work in fhe business. We let you have a seat at our table to break bread with us in a mutually benifital relationship. But what is pretty evident is that a lot of these people dont like us and if it was up to them we wouldnt exist. They fail to behave in a way that acknowledges the truth. That the family whos heritage is of this land, built this house that your living in. With our low corruption goverments , our clean drinking water, our free health care and education system, with our opportunities that make it possible through merit and hard work that it doesnt matter what family or where you were born. These are attractive features of canada that play a role in why people want to come here. And leave where they were. Its it logical to think that you have more to learn about us then we do of you? Not being on some selfish punk shit is canadas greatest strength. Its that same inclusives mentality that keep the government corruption very small which empowers the citizens to make them successful and able to contribute more back into this system. The very nature of hoarding resources for ones family, same culture, etc are the same oppressive situations many of these people left their countries to seek better opportunities. But once given those opportunities and a chance to decide for themselves, a lot of these people use their liberties to create exclusion and hostility toward out groups. The indians do this in a very overt in your face way, the chinese are more polite about it but both have this way of looking out for their own and not being concerned with anyone else. As far as im conerned you should all be split up and dispersered to live in different provinces and cites. I know this isnt realitic but it would save them from what a lot of them are gunna end up be exposed to which is experiences with native born Canadians who are going to very rudly show you what happens when you disrespectf someone in their own home. \n\nThe party is over. You people need to start being Canadian and care about Canadians like you care about your own culture or get the fuck out!

What is wrong with these people? We don’t want all this nonsense, legal immigration is good. But, this is just nonsense. I am not okay with wasting American tax dollars on illegals when our people are suffering! Or not suffering.

Yup I work with a bunch of African immigrants! Some are okay but most I can just sense this entitled attitude from and they need to go ! They don’t want to assimilate

They being rejected because they get in and do not want to leave”.\nIndians want to live outside India because they can succeed with n caste system in their way. \nIn the U S Indians can achieve high educations, own business or create wealth for themselves and live in big houses, have $ to have family live very well .\nThe problem is that Indians overstay their visa’s and they have also entered the U S illegally by way of Canada & through Mexico.\nThere are entire Indian communities in America, restaurants, clothing shops , synagogues and many businesses that cater to Indian culture. \n \nIn the end, many are residing in America illegally and they have violated U S immigration laws.\nTrump peas elected by the vote , will of the American people, and Americans want people here Illegally removed.

More ethnic restaurants are popping up because more ethnic immigrants are coming in and they want their food

More ethnic restaurants are popping up because more ethnic immigrants are coming in and they want their food

The US wants to stop illegal immigration and the importation of drugs from Mexico.\nMexico does not care at all. (For decades)\nNow, a *US President with balls* , acting for his country, is doing something! \nThe same goes for China, which is the main chemical drug producer (Fentanyl) exporting to the USA.\nWhy blame a President who acts for his country?

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

This mass deportation is only going to start the famine! people fail to realize the us has always benefited off immigrants will to work the jobs all the whites don’t want to work ?

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games.

Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.
