The key to addressing these issues isn’t for the government to simply 'deport' illegals; it’s to make life in the host country so dependent on legal status that it becomes nearly impossible for an illegal immigrant to prosper or live a normal life. What we see now is the opposite—some states don’t even require proof of legal residency to issue a driver’s license. When services like healthcare, education, and more are offered without any checks, why would anyone bother complying? A parallel society forms, where people learn to bypass hurdles with the help of others already entrenched in the system. The same applies to sending money back to their home countries.\n\nIf you impose harsh penalties—not just fines—on those who hire illegals, you’ll deter locals from exploiting their cheap labor. This would naturally lead to many illegals 'deporting' themselves in search of countries where they can blend in more easily. Furthermore, there’s a 'support system' that guides illegals on how to navigate life in the U.S. as undocumented residents, which should also be addressed. But instead, Democrats often seem to do everything possible to favor their presence, especially in certain cities.

People in the comments here failing to realize that this idea will not work. It's unfeasible. And as someone commented previously, if they ever wanted to do something they would just punish the employer or anyone that hires illegal immigrant services. But they won't!\nThe US hypocrisy of loving that cheap labor for menial services, but wanting segregation all together. Fencer Sitters!

Deporting undocumented immigrants could have significant economic consequences. Removing this labor force, which makes up the majority of farmworkers, would likely force farmers to hire American citizens at minimum wage or higher. This would drive up operating costs substantially and could lead to further increases in food prices. Additionally, the claim that undocumented immigrants are to blame for the country's economic woes is inaccurate. Many of the recent Latin American immigrants are fleeing economic collapse in countries like Venezuela, which has been exacerbated by U.S. tariffs and sanctions. As the world's reserve currency, the U.S. dollar gives the government significant power to influence the economies of other nations. Because of this BRICS was created. Several countries are trying to get a way from the dollar.

How do you screw up a great immigration process... You hire Justin Trudeau.

If trumo wants to play it smart deport the criminals and those 1.3M already on the deportation list \n\nThrn hire more staff to process the claims of the remaining 11M deporting those who fail and goving citizenship to those who succed \n\nIts a weak policy but one that will shine a good light on him without rinos stopping his policy plans

Trump has hired illegals, including his wives

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.

Yes, make it a federal offense to hire any illegal worker. Make the fine huge and have a 3 strike rule for company's. If a poultry farm uses illegals, then they deserve to lose it all for breaking the law.I never got a job without a SS Card/DL but these company's hire knowing they are illegals i hope lose it all.The Demoncrats wont be able to block anything btw.

Canada should take care of their homeless people first before accepting refugees from the United States since Trump won the election where he will deport any illegal immigrants. My question is: How did these illegals obtain jobs? I’m sure Trump had illegals working for him. Does Trump realize that businesses will suffer when these people are deported because there won’t be anyone hired to do their jobs? Sending these people back to where they came from will cost the tax payers millions because Trump certainly won’t be paying for their fares.

I have been working in Germany for a year. I have a Masters degree from the USA and I have a disability. I actually got hired immediately and I am “richer” here than I was in the USA.

I once hired some American laborers. Gave them a shovel to dig. They looked at me and said we don't do that. What!! Took them back home. Grabbed some Hispanic laborers the next day. No complaints got the job done. \n\nLet's see what's gonna happen in the next year

They keep talking about losing a huge part of the workforce with mass deportations. So Americans aren’t looking for work? I’ve worked for Amazon for 3 and a half years now. I transferred from Va back home to ny last October. In va Americans are being hired. In ny Amazon is literally hiring nothing but Haitians. We hire a hundred and twenty people every year between July and January for prime and peek. I promise you without any iota of exaggeration, every last new hire is Haitian. I know of plenty of ppl who have applied to no avail. They really need to say if you’re American don’t apply. They get tax credits for hiring them. And because of this they do little to no work because they know nothing will happen to them. So all of the work falls on us . Out of the 120 new hires this year and last year 115 are under 27. They try to alienate us , intimidate us,and are extremely rude to anyone who isn’t Haitian. These are young people who are on straight gang time. I’m a black man telling you this and I’m from the street. It took me 6 years to finally make 20 dollars an hr, they come right over making the same as me while I’m working harder to accommodate their lack of productivity and at the same time hope I don’t lose my job for standing up to their rudeness and intimidation tactics. But the media will have ppl convinced that these are hard working meek and humble ppl just trying to make a better life for them and their families. I’m 45 years old and every year of my life we have always had a block party every summers end . For the last three years none. Because my neighborhood has been inundated with migrants who don’t care to assimilate.

You cant deport who is running the economy, because then u have to hire Americans that want to make 50 or 60 dollars an hour. How much do you that things are going to cost then

He said it right! Fine the businesses who hire illegals and the problem will take care of it self!

you may get legal PR/immigrant for example: investing ?200m and hiring ?10 employees over ?3 years... (the number changes)

He was in for four long years and all he done is hire and fired employees,he should take that time and build the wall he say Mexico was going to pay for,bubio you is an immigrant too

Jail the job makers for hiring illegals? Thoughts?

If business owners are threatened with 10 years for 1st offense and permanent loss of that business is the only way to ensure they will not hire illegals

There are a lot of Republican business owners who hire the hell out of illegals. What do those Republican business owners going to do when they can't find anybody to do the work?

When they talk about deporting illegals that's everybody from every country living illegally & working & going to school & not just those that came across the border. You are talking about tens of thousands of people who are contributing to our economy. Many of them are unskilled workers who works at low paying jobs that no U.S citizen would want. Who will replace them? Our economy will collapse once they're gone unless you pay $25 an hour with full benefits & hire legal citizens. ?

Is the goal to deport every undocumented person or to destroy our economy? Seems they will achieve both at the same time. I wonder how many Trump supporters know that Trump properties still avoid hiring Americans. Even Truth Social outsources their coding to Mexico. Trump hates hiring American workers. MAGA is only for him, not you.

This dude is not smart, he blind, mandate is mandate?. No, stupid, all big scale action has balance disruption of the system.. Of course, deport criminal is priority, they are prejudice to economy and well being of society. Take immigrants that work in farmer for example, and other fields that supply necessity to population. How farmers will deliver products if they dont have workers? How the business will survive? How will people that need good have them? Farmers will get nuts, nobody to harvest their products, who will do the job? Oh! Get all those brainless senators for work in sectors of emergency. IT will affect the common people that need basic goods. The business people will lose income because their products will perish before consumers can have them. They need hire other people that will impose different price in services, for high demand, cant enforce to pay. In some point they have fill up for bankrupt. Population will be lack of basic. Anybody of common sense, analyze all that effect. No one those senators are able to answers the questions she put for them. ( They just said stupid words, We won majority , people voted in us) but morons, you will make a mess, in months all medeo/small business owners would stand up) Just imagine that.

All those Florida people who have farms etc — who are they planning getting to harvest the food we need to eat. Not the senior farmer or the one farmer who hires migrants and immigrants. This is going to be a nightmare and Trump doesn’t care. He hires Eastern European immigrants. I mean when we have food shortages because there is no one to pick the oranges, strawberries, etc etc. I hope those who voted for Trump are the first with no food so they realize what they did.

Fine the companies that hire them and that fixes the issue without spending anything

New jobs created for Americans, to find illegal immigrants and deport them.TYSON FIRED AMERICANS TO HIRE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. SO NO THEY'RE NOT DOING THE JOBS AMERICANS DON'T WANT.

It’s simple, start hiring Americans or your business goes bankrupt.

All of the jobs she's talking about. Those people are here on worker visas. Most company don't want to hire Americans cause they don't want to pay more $. If workers are needed you can easily bring them here on working visas that's not an issue CNN wont stop lying.

So, people he has hired and are not legally qualified to be acting as boarder patrol!

Beeing a ex undocument imigrant from US, i desagree with the former director. You dont need to Chase down ilegals, you just have to shutdown their Bank accounts , requesting agencies to ask for proof of social securty number and and apply huge fines over companies that hire ilegals. Gradually, they wont be able to stay and leave. I am not saying i am in favor of mass deportation. I think there is a better way to fix the system and absorv their work force in to segments that demands their labor, but to deport them its not that complicated.

Do you remember Stephen Miller and what he did to asylum seekers’s children on America’s Southern border during the Trump administration?\n\n*Separating children and babies from their parents. \n\n*Detained in inhumane conditions. \n\n* Cellophane blankets, 24 hour lights,1 toilet for hundreds, little water, No hygiene products, rotten food, toddler’s alone drink rotten milk, etc. \n\n*Children being abused by their unqualified gov. Caretakers. \n\n*Children willfully beaten and abused with Bags placed on their heads while zipped tied in a chair, SR, dying from a common flu. \n\n*Has anyone asked if all the children been found?\n\n*USA gov. Under Trump paid unknown men $200 a day per child. \n\n*Trump is planning to build bigger camps. Don’t think they’ll be deported to Mexico when you can easily torture them in Texas and other Trump friendly states. \n\nMEANWHILE TRUMP HAS HIRED UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATIONS AND SUPPLIED THEM WITH FAKE GREEN CARDS AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.

First Trump's administration is going to be jacked up with little known outliers with controversial and radical ideas. That is what Trump is attracted to. His ideas of tariffs and mass deportations are deplorable. They both disadvantage the US instead making it better. However, the tariffs may as well be a scam to get companies profits as when Trump says 10% on item A, companies are going to raise the cost of item A 12 to 15% or so and blame the cost increase on tariffs. For deportation's, I hope most people realize that many working the fields as low wage labor are very well illegals, but they are hired because they keep food costs low. Raising all prices for the poor Republicans will not be beneficial because prices on goods can increase 15% or more but their employer is certainly not going give them a 15% raise to match the cost of living. So Trump has already made the business environment good for more profits by planning to make life more expensive for everyone so business can absorb the additional profits. Probusiness politicians help businesses make money and that money comes from households and the government. And making the government spend more means the government needs to tax more. But TRump is cutting taxes for the people that have the most money. And Trump raising prices with tariffs justs makes households poorer and business richer. Naturally, the stock market will record highs when all the indicators are that business will be making much greater profits from households when Trump takes office.

This Senator is going to be in hot water with the GOP! He's calling for business owners to be held accountable for hiring illegal immigrants. This is not going to be accepted very well...

Going to be a disaster. So who will do the tough jobs?? This economy will implode. I’ve been saying for years penalize the companies hiring them. Do that first and back they go simple. Been saying it for 20 years. Trump hired illegals all the time. Funny how that changed. This guy is a joke. Mandate my ass

Ah yes, the perfect man is going to fix everything. That's Trump's genius - that he can promise the world , fix nothing and convince people he did. Right now he's trying to fix the war in Ukraine and bring peace. Forgetting he's negotiating with a guy who doesn't fix things, he just breaks them and the last thing Putin is going to do is take Trump seriously. There's a a reason why Putin did not congratulate Trump -- he knows he's dealing with an idiot. \n\nTrump has surrounded himself with dunderheads just like him because competence makes him feel insecure. Intelligence gives him hives and common sense ED. \n\nHe got what he wanted from the elections now he wants to play golf and become the richest man in the world. All those grand plans and ideas except his retribution will have to wait because there's no money. It's all in his pocket. Try a mass deportation of millions when you have a no budget to work with. \n\nHe'll try to deport a few who have pissed him off but end up having it thrown out after the targets hire competent lawyers and sue him. The great legal minds will jump at the chance. Trumps lawyers haven't won a case yet. And so it will go until midterms swing the other way because Trump has accomplished zilch. Trump 2.0 The grand illusion or delusion. Take your pick.

Trump will hire officers .\nHarris defunded or tried to defund ice\nWhy would anyone in there right mind open borders during a time of holy war being allies to 2 country

Oh, do those include the businesses of rich Trump donors or just little guys like contractors who need help on farms,roofers,and yard workers. Trump hired thousands of undocumented workers at his golf courses, hotels,and casinos.Biden and Obama deported 3 X more than Trump did. Stop letting them get away with false narrative.

If the goal was to stop the illegals, we would actually punish those that hire them. tRump had to do some reorganization when promoting this Border issue back in 2016.

So Trump hired illegals

“We should put penalties on people who hire illegals” Lol this man never worked a hard day in his life

How about charging all the companies and rich people who gladly hire illegal workers?

All illegals out. Hire Americans instead.

Dana Bash is a typical liberal who supports Harris, and her open border policy. Businesses shouldn't hire these illegals to begin with.

You can end illegal immigration tomorrow. Order all employers to get all illegals a visa or lay them off and hire a US citizen and give them 45 days to do that. If the employer does not do it heavily fine them. Employers who hire them are criminals.

Put the pressure on those who hire illegals... ok farmers in CA, TX, AZ, OR, WA, AL, FL, MI etc you are on notice.

Ex-ICE Official my Ass! GOYA FOODS is Hiring...

Contributing to society? They're here illegally. If others have come to America the right way, how is it ok to skip the rules. Best statement: it's not that complicated. Employers: hire Americans!

Yes yes please ? president trump need to start hiring 100k ice create laws people’s been lying about asylum

♥️?? America Can Hire Poor White People & Black Men....Fake Liberals Media Stop The BS.
