I don't think immigration will be a problem for much longer. Who wants to go to a country where racism is the norm and encouraged by the leaders. The place is turning into a cesspool. Very sad.

I don't think Dana understands what an illegal immigrant is. Her very questions show that she has no clue.

Economic indicators say the economy was good. The economy and GDP grew, but the working class didn’t think so. Well, when the number of illegal immigrants per year far exceeds the number of new jobs per year, then the wages of the working class people will not keep up with inflation. Under Biden, the new jobs each year was an average of 1.2 million, but the number of illegal immigrants coming in looking for jobs was over 2 million people. For comparison, under Obama illegal immigration was just 300-400K per year. So as you can now see, the border crisis was a much bigger issue than the Democrats cared to admit.

If Trump supporters think tarrifs are good and they don’t need immigrants, they’re in for a rude awakening!!!! ????????

Being respectful really you’re gonna throw out all these immigrants that do the crops so does that mean you Americans will roll up your sleeves and start doing the job that they were doing I don’t think so cause the majority of these people they’re rather go ahead and go on welfare than they actually really do a job and you know that’s a fact and that’s very true. Look at the unemployment.

THIS IS SO SAD, NOBODY IS THINKING ABOUT THOSE KIDS!! MAJOR COMPANY CLOSURES! LAYOFFS, BUT THE IMMIGRANTS VOTED HIM IN!! This is going to be a mess, people will die!

I see many of you are still struggling to understand how Trump won. It’s many fold, but I can some it up rather concisely.\n\nYour entire mantra was “Vote for us so we can have our way and do what I want or democracy dies”\n\nWhich is so ironic that the thing you think will happen is what that statement represents. \n\nAdd on that, you attacked your political opponent for 8 years with lies, rhetoric (which included degrading remarks about the general populace) and a weak economy and weak foreign policy with a severe influx of illegal immigration. \n\nYou did this to yourselves

Crops will rot in the field prices will rise inflation will skyrocket deficits will outpace GDP. I understand deporting criminals but why deport farm workers and service industry employees who have been here peacefully for many years. They are doing the jobs that many Americans do not want to do.\nIf you don’t understand that then you are not thinking about what is best for the country and hard working immigrants.

What about legal immigrants who had worked here for 30 plus years, will the U.S stop paying their social security benefits if they are deported for a crime?\nI don't think it is fair withholding their benefits though. It is Ok to deport them but we should not stop paying them since this is the only country they had ever worked for.

So bizarre that these immigrants think they are safe because they voted for Trump....did they miss the part where he says EVERYBODY IS GETTING DEPORTED....lol. they think that they won't be made to leave...ha ha ha ...IDIOTS ?

They'll all see, they don't speak like Trump, and their color isn't as white as Trump's beautiful white skin. He also said, papers or not, immigrants all go ?. Good luck to you all, in the USA. You certainly are proving, how dumb you are. Now live with your decisions. I don't think the world is gonna give 2 shits about any of you that voted for Trump. He told you all what he and his goons have planned for you. Smh in disbelief ??

And still there is no actual problem with immigrants. They pay in more than they cost.\n\nWeird how people think they cost too much, but will happily cheer for wasting millions times that much on pointless walls and deportations.\n\nThen the labor market will collapse, Americans can't work as hard as immigrants! See that every single day, just no actual problems with immigrants as a whole.\n\nThe power of churches and television, folks.

It was announced today on the news that the Trump initiative to deport all illegal immigrants will cost up to $1 trillion dollars. That’s a lot of moolah. Which will come out of our taxes. And the tariffs that he went on and on about. Companies aren’t giving out bonuses to workers for end of year. Because they have to save money now because Trump will impose tariffs on incoming goods. The workers didn’t understand they assumed the cost would be paid by importers. In reality, it will trickled down to American consumers who have to pay for goods. Economists have been saying during the election this is a bad idea.Trump tried to do it the last time he was in office and it didn’t work. So people be aware you think you can’t afford things now wait you won’t be able to afford anything. PS the government has nothing to do with price gouging for food and they don’t set the price for gasoline or electricity, etc. ????

So sad that even when coming from an immigrant background, only selfishly thinking about their own wealth and the illusion that the MAGA camp will serve that interest. Yes, misinformation and opportunism defeat education and moral values.

unbelievable!!! The man is a convicted felon, who said out his own mouth. He was gonna overthrow the government. It’s already been 500 years man. They still haven’t given the people who built this country anything what makes you think they’re gonna give you anything now! Unbelievable! Only in America!!!? wow!!!!!!!’ oh by the way, are you Trump people who want jobs that are already here you’re just not looking for the people that you’re trying to replace just keep one thing in mind when you replace those people pretty soon you’re worn out they’re gonna be replacing you too with another immigrant who wants your lifestyle and what you have they don’t want to give the people who are native here born here live here because they don’t want it. The land already belong to the natives and they took it and you wanna migrate over here and think you’re getting something better.

Thinking if they stop spending money on immigrants the govt will spend money on the people instead. No. The Gop will be cutting taxes and not investing in any infrastructure or social spending.\n\nThey literally forgot that cuban refugees received a lot of help when they came over in boats. They got theirs.

I think it is not people it is illegal immigrants ... There is a difference ....and not all immigrant - only illegal waiting in the border States

Can you imagine how much it’s going to cost and the fact that he’s going to get rid of so much of the labor force, the jobs that Americans don’t want to do. I don’t think he’s taken that into account about what’s going to happen? His hatred for immigrants does not have him thinking clearly.

Quit using the term Undocumented Immigrants. The correct Term is Illegal Aliens who have broken Immigration Laws by entering the Country illegally which is a is Criminal Act. I blame Both sides for using that Term and not Revising the Laws to Deal with the Problems. Immigration Laws need to be Revised and Enforced Period. Quit kicking the Can down the Road. Do your Damn Jobs Congress! No I’m not a Republican or Democrat. I’m an Independent Thinking American stuck in Between this Lunacy.

Do these immigrants think they not going to be deported ???

So let’s see immigrants walk into our country illegally not following the law of our land, Joe Biden and Camila Harris allow them to do it. They bus them to different cities to out the United States dump 30,000 at a time humans dump them in the small communities and the communities are suffering horribly And now the next president is going to come in put them all back on the bus and put them back over the border where they came from and somehow that’s a bad thing so it is a good thing breaking the law and it’s a bad thing in forcing the law I think you guys are really mixed up as to what you want for this country lawless or we’re all held accountable and have to operate under one set of rules except when you don’t like the rules, then we have to change the rules so that you don’t get sad and cry Sorry breaking the laws breaking the law and I think the Biden family is going to find that out because you guys have been hiding some really big secrets from your viewers did your viewers know that Biden was being impeached? Yep he is and it’s been going on now for three years so they have a pretty strong case you know with receipts meaning they have the evidence, not accusations not hearsay not basement hearing it was all open in public. If you want to you can actually go online and listen to the evidence America for yourself because this new station didn’t tell you about it it’s pretty good.

Lol, she has a point. As much as I dislike Trump (I'm a liberal), illegal immigrants cost the US more money than they pay in taxes. I still think Trump is a terrible president, but agree with conservatives that illegal immigration is a problem that should be addressed.

Anyone who thinks Trump is better on border security is a fool who’s fallen for a scam. He literally went to house Republicans, pressured them to tank their own gop created and endorsed immigration bill. For the soul purpose of claiming inaction on Biden. Anyone willing to block fixes to the border to create a campaign talking point, is not really a strong with that topic. Just shows how blind partisan the parties have become.

Let the family ripping begin some of these immigrants think they Whyte anyway and voted for him still if you don't have your papers your illegal do what you have to do Trump rip them apart then a lesson will be learned. Watch who you support. The warning was already sounded

I think the Dems should start listening: The majority of Americans don’t want open borders, unchecked immigration, lawlessness, and transgender policies!!

I have a feeling that undocumented immigrants who don't bother anyone will be among those who will be deported. I don't think Trump and his team thought this through, especially about how huge an undertaking this would be. Those immigrants don't scare me. I'm more scared of some of my fellow Americans.

Cubans think theyre white. People who hate on immigrants the most are immigrants that made it :/

Illegal immigration is costing Americans 450 billion dollars a year. Just think of all the good Americans can do with that money, after they get rid of these freeloaders.

Like most of the media networks CNN has bitched and moaned, but never offerred any constructive criticism or plan for dealing with the problem.\nAll countries have border security and immigration laws.\nOur immigration laws ( responsibility of Congress) seem reasonable to me. I do think we need a better plan for dreamers.\nBorder security tho is a primary responsibility of the President. He is supposed to enforce our laws whether he likes them or not.\nThanks to Joe we have an additional 12 milliin more people here. One they criss iur border illegally, they are , by definition, criminals.\nBut they still need shelter , food, and medical care which we are paying for.\nWhat does CNN think should happen? Are you all inviting someone home with you ?

It just amazes me how all right all these lefties were with all these illegal immigrants coming here even going to the point of inviting them and offering them Free housing free food free healthcare free education when people coming here the right way have been waiting years to become Americans working hard learning the language adapting to our customs and becoming Americans where these people can jump in line and just pass everyone up like it's nothing.... And now they're shocked that were actually going to send them back.... For those of you that say you voted for Trump now you get what you voted for..... That's kind of f****** the idea don't you think

So where do the undocumented immigrants (criminals or not) get deported to? Do you think that the countries that they came from are going to joyously repatriate them? Or accept them at all? Where will they end up if no country will accept them? Like most of the Trump policies, no one ever thought beyond a sound bite that would appeal to his base....

The problem is already horrible, and no offence to anyone but I think deportation is our only option, I am 17 and I literally won’t be able to own a house, I am a Canadian and a citizen and yet we are getting replaced by all these immigrants, people are starting to call my city Mumbai India.\n\nI think when I turn 18 or 19 I might move to rural Canada because I know lots of Canadians and my buddies are there, I don’t know what else to do at this point

When she started with 'we need to take our country' back, I began to think she meant Mexican-Americans need to take back their country that was originally part of Mexico but was taken from them by the United States. eg Texas and other border states. Isn't that what the immigration north is all about? Taking back country? Of course the people who should really have the right to take back their country are the Indian Nations. They would be justified in deporting any families whose ancestors were illegal immigrants and did not get the equivalent of a green card from the original owners. I find it fascinating that descendants of illegal immigrants are so antagonistic to more recent illegal immigrants. 'We were illegal first! So we have the right to stop you illegals now!' ?

Once , my cousin and his friend had an roommate who’s an Indian immigrant. That Indian guy caused trouble to my cousin and his friend. He borrowed their stuff with out asking them. And the Indian dude don’t know how to use the bathroom properly. He uses toilet paper after using the toilet. But he threw them in the garbage instead of the toilet. And there was toilet ppr with shit showing in the trash. And then my cousin and his friend got into an argument with the Indian and my cousin and his friend complained to the land lady and the landlady kicked out the Indian guy evicting him. It a problem that there are too many Indian ppl in Canada. U Indians are always into other ppl face! Thinking that this country is like India!

Well we know she doesn't love her family. The way she says we need to take our country back makes me think she really believes Trump will accept her as an immigrant.

Mexi sn anerican a d came to this country 29years ago.she think she is not immigrant ??????

This woman has no idea how messed up our current immigration system is. The fact that she thinks her deported cousins could successfully reapply or that she said “I stood in line for hours and days to get my green card” just shows how out of touch she is. She thinks that Trump sees her as an equal when he doesn’t. He doesn’t care about the difference between “illegal” or “legal” immigrants… he said non white immigrants are “poisoning the blood of America.” \nAnd as a Mexican born immigrant, she should never forget that the only thing protecting her is a green card, which can be revoked at any time. She is selfish and deluded. I am a daughter of a Taiwanese immigrant who watches Fox News every night and it drives me crazy. Y’all are no better than any illegal immigrant. We need more of them to sustain our low birth rate. Immigrants are awesome and there’s absolutely no good reason to inhumanely and violently deport immigrants. I have heard stories from friends of how inhumane the ICE detention centers are. They treat you like animals, worse than they treat US citizens who are murderers.

They won't be her family for long when Harris wins and regularised their immigration status. To think that she was prepared to watch her family members of 30 year or so in the US result in deportations, to where? its really cold!!!

It is perfectly fine for a citizen to speak against illegal immigration but it is stupd to think that Trump will fix it for them ?

I think there should be ethics and manner test in the immigration system before they land. People from third world country have no manners and ethics in general.

I don't think this lady realises that they couldn't apply to come back. Under Trump's ideas any immigrants would come from most likely Eastern Europe.

Don't know why you feel Canadiens hate you, that's BS. What we do hate is the fact that Canada is in big trouble, being run by a criminal government making Canadians look for food in garbage bins. Yet India thinks coming here will ne a better life but instead immigrants by coming here takes away what we don't already have. We hold YOU responsible for ignoring our suffering and not stopping your own people from coming here and making things worse. WHY? Because you don't care when you should

Need to stop immigration from\nIndia. Thses people are insane thinking just enrolling in a college will\nGive them permanent residency ?‍♀️

Government should have done this much earlier , yes Canada may need immigrants but not those who can’t follow the rules of this land and the ones who thinks that they are still in there home country and don’t want to change them self . Rather I would say Canada should stop immigration completely from some specific country who are creating problems here .

I came to Germany in 2008 to do my Bachelors and later did my masters and working for 10 years now. Got my citizenship 5 years ago. Lets say i have to travel a lot due to my work.. If i move out of Germany, it would be only because of insane tax . I expected even a colder or harsher condition but since my expectation was soo low, it was all good.. At my work place, the working language is only German. I knew that before so it was not a hard time when i was thinking from time to time regarding the difficulty.. \nOne thing and most important thing, Even after getting your citizenship in Germany you are not automatically a German. You are just a paper german ( Even though i dont hold other passport ). I knew this before and it was not hard for me but for many immigrants who become german citizens, they will still be seen as an Ausländer .. Thats the reality which will take another decade to change.

Why do Indians prefer to live anywhere but India. If you think about it…it’s really sad. Imagine not wanting to live in or contribute to your own country. I’m referring to the talented immigrants. The Lawyers, Physicians, Politicians, Businessmen, Tradesmen and the like. Why not take what you’ve learned and put it into practice for the people of India instead of people in America/Canada/Pretty much everywhere in the world but India. It’s a damn shame because if anyone has seen videos of the true India, its landscape and geography…wow OMG! India is a stunningly beautiful countryside.

To problem kya hai??? Bc bhr se log aake bheed bakri ki tarah wahan pde rhte h, aadhe logo ko naukri ni milti, overstay, crime… itne problem create krte h, also unke jo apne locals hai unko jobs ni milti, why does everyone think ki developed nations are bound to take immigrants. Trudeau is an ass but if his govt is doing this for immigration vo galat ni h. Overall u all want ki hm chutiya h lekin chutiya hm internationally banenge, bhai vo sirf quality ko rakhna chahte h to kya dikkat hai.

She’s going to b deported first. A lot of immigrants think now that I’m here don’t allow anymore. She is clueless as to how much she’s hated in real life.

She's one who thinks illegals are below her, sad! She needs to read and comprehend what frump policy is on immigration!
