It's never been about LEGAL immigration. They're going to learn the hard way. ?

That bill from the 1700's Trump wants to pass targets legal immigrants as well

Is this guy talking about immigrants or illegal immigrants? . it that trump said that he likes people coming into the country except those who are here illegally , we do love people come to our country too but much be legally if you are come here illegally just get the hell out . That is what the plan for those illegal immigration you have ears so you much hear the world ILLEGAL. We do care about immigration we jusg don't care about those illegal immigration that all .

Illegal Immigrants don’t belonging USA! Only legal immigrants ???

Let's see if he doesn't start immigration with them even if they are legal immigrants. They're all the same to him anyhow.

I honestly don't understand why both parties aren't on the same page regarding illegal immigration.\n\nI mean, what part of illegal is legal? ?

Itll be nice to have things for american citizens once again and nkt helping people who didnt earn nor deserve it and come to this country and rip off and free load and talk down on being here bc real immigrants who came here legally most agree this is indeed the best country in the world and opportunity and as a person of color making things happen instead of making excuses the dems downing of the american peopel got old of vote for me because we're the way is dead the in last 16 years 12 of those years have been ran by dems and only gotten worse as the year goes on im a pround California born and raised but left their bc of how bad its gotten happy where im at for sure god bless america and trump MAGA ?

I wonder if people actually believe that legal immigrants won't also be swept up in this huge deportation.

Illegal immigrants are going to start self deporting. If they’re caught in this country illegally in the first place they will never be allowed to become a citizen afterwards. They need to go home and apply to come to this country legally.

It's not the USs fault our immigration system is useless. Nor is it Trump's fault. The blame falls solely on the Canadian government and Trudeau and the woke LiberalNDP agenda. We should be doing the same. If they knew they'd be sent right back to where they came from they wouldn't even bother coming to Canada. Legal immigration is different. Opening your borders to anyone and everyone is an invasion. We have more than enough to worry about at home.

My immigrant wife is pissed that some immigrant come here illegally and bypass the legal system. We spent 2 years filling out papers .... legally!

It’s funny that she says “ take our country back” when the majority of white people don’t want her here whether she’s here legally or not l. they don’t like the color of her skin, her accent, nothing. If she got into an argument with some white guy at the local gas station, he would yell at her to go back to her country.. He would not care if she had papers or not. This is about racism, not immigration. DUH.

Illegal.**** undocumented immigrants are those who came here legally but still waiting for paperwork to be processed etc.

America needs immigration.... LEGAL immigration. \nFurthermore, the Oath of Allegiance to become a US citizen requires the new citizen to obey the laws of the United States: \nThe oath includes a commitment to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States, and to obey the laws that result from the democratic process established by the Constitution.\nIllegal immigration equals breaking the law to get here. Do you see the irony.

Trump will make a new legal immigrants LAW ....and he will mass deport the millions of illegal immigrants he promise ...or if he doesn't the Republican party is over ❗️

What did Trump accomplish on immigration in four years? No immigration legislation passed, no border fence built like he promised, no improvement to the long legal process of accepting/rejecting people, and no mass deportations.... He did nothing then and he will do nothing for the next four years. Gullible people.

I love immigrants, but the ones who do it legally, and not invade the country. If tax evasion is illegal, evading to follow immigration laws should be illegal too.

Yes. Clean our country from these non legal immigrants

I cannot see anything wrong with not allowing illegal immigrants into the country.? What is the point of entering legally if it is OK to just hop across the border?

Many people have expressed concerns about potential labor shortages if undocumented immigrants are deported. However, my uncle, who owns a large construction company and several auxiliary businesses in a blue state, has a different perspective. He hires only legally authorized workers, verifying immigration status, driver’s licenses, and conducting drug tests and background checks for all roles, including maintenance and cleanup. He says he pays his employees well and has never faced challenges in finding reliable workers

If you want to be a US citizen go there rightly ... that's legally or still there peacefully... immigration must be controlled... otherwise the nation is doomed.

People commenting here fail to realize that Latinos are arguably more conservative than the white men they love to hate. Those who voted for Trump did so because they are legal immigrants/citizens, aka, Americans. Aside deportation of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS benefiting them directly, they are also not down with the other Democrat platforms like Abortion and Trans/Gay advocacy. They are majority Catholics.\nThat voting block should never be majority Democrat in the first place, esp this current version of elitist Democrat party.

Now it’s being reported that legal us immigrants can now be denaturalized even if they came into this country legally and became naturalized US citizen can also be deported whether they have a crime or not. so, it isn’t just undocumented immigrants anymore…all immigrants can be deported

I was working DoorDash making about 300 and something dollars a day I was able to feed my family and pay my rent, then the legal immigrants came. They all had cars. They were all sitting inside of the parking lot waiting for orders and then I started to make about $60 for 12 hours of work I had to leave California and lost my place and could not afford anything!!! How did they get cars? How are they able to work here without proper documentation? Please get them out of here so I can get back to work. None of them could even talk to me and speak English.

Democrats should learn the difference between illegal and legal immigrants.

The claim that migrants are coming here as criminals is a lie. The fact is the majority of immigrants in United States legally are illegal do not commit crime. It is less than 1/10 of one percent so this is a lie that the Trump administration and Trump campaign pushed on the ignorant American people and they’re gonna find out these claims are complete BS.

Mexico #1 form of legal GDP is the money that legal and illegal immigrants send back to Mexico that money never returns to the USA economy. They also affect supply and demand. So things cost more because there is a higer demand with less supplies and thats simply based on population. I voted Blue , but things like this is why Democrats lose the election. They need to be honest about the long term affects of illegal immigration. And to bring up the cost as if we aren't sending hundreds of billions of aid and resources to other countries that frankly we shouldn't be doing at the rate that we are anymore because the world has benn mooching from Americans and their citizens good will and charity for too long. So this can be paid for without adding any debt. Trump is an idiot but he and Republicans are right on these issues. Democrats seen to treat this issue with kid gloves. The center Democrats like Obama have to return. He deported more immigrants than any president in history, quietly. He didn't start a war or send troops but he dropped more bombs than you can imagine...Quietly. Democrats should have learned a valuable lesson. The world isn't just rainbows and flowers so we cant treat every issue that way

I am for legal immigration but Maga supporters aren't going to be happy when food prices increase.

Wait until some of these legal immigrants who voted for him get rounded up and jailed, just like his last administration. And nobody will be there to help them.

What do you morons in the media not understand, the people want to know who is here illegally and for them to be removed. We have a legal system in place for one million legal immigrants a year, this is simple, if we need five million immigrants, let them in here through the legal process we already have in place. What is the reason for letting anyone come in here illegally other than to do harm to our American citizens, does CNN have any idea why the people are voting for law and order.

Yes I voted for putting people who came here illegally back to where they came from yes correct. What’s the issue myself and Trump as well said LEGAL IMMIGRATION is a welcomed and needed thing. But don’t try to calm any fears keep on fanning the flames.

To the immigrants legal or illegal immigrant just remember

Both legal and illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate that natural born citizens

What they should do is hit pause on immigration. I believe they should grandfather in those who arrived prior to a specified year.\n\nI’m sure the majority is ok with immigration. JUST DO IT LEGALLY and for the gov to stop over extending our taxes and money. \n\nAmerica should come first. Americans have been put on the back burner while illegal immigrants get way more help which in turn hurts the very people who were born and raised here. We got people and children starving in this very country yet have a helping hand for those who don’t live here, came illegally or even like us. \n\nSo put the pause on and help Americans then help others. Other countries have stricter policies than we do and they’re thriving. and I believe don’t have as many issues as we do. \n\nAmerica leaders need to look into how other successful countries are running things and see how they can implement or improve on those.

Legal immigrants from india china Japan phinllipens are the backbone of american economy. The whole country comprises of woke liberals in mass number therefore it is dependent on its right wing and immigrants.

Trump is talking to deporting her and legal immigrants

So sad she does not realize Trump was talking about her, just because she is Mexican. He loves European immigrants. He married two of them.\n\n This country needs immigrants because the birthrate is not keeping up with the demand the workforce needs. Without them prices will go up. It should be easier for them to come here legally. Why do these old immigrants blame new immigrants instead of corporations who exploit the illegal immigrants.

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.

This protest is a joke! They know what they signed up for before coming to Canada. So,  they should work within the rules and find a way to legally settle (if they can) or leave. \n\n\nHowever, Canadians deserve to know more about this mess which is an outcome of aggressive marketing by Private colleges and the government's greed to get quick cash into the Canadian economy. Here are some clarifications to note:\n\n\n1. In the last six years, 1.5 million international students brought a minimum of $67,500,000,000 direct cash into the Canadian economy. (Assuming a min $40-45000 per student for 2 year diploma, between to $100,000 - 150,000 for undergrad, and around $50,000 for Masters degrees). Usually, international students have to pay most of this money before applying for the study visa. \n\n\n2. These colleges employ Canadians for their day to day operations. From cleaning, maintainance, administration to teaching, each college operates with approx 20-30million budget. So, more students lead to more employment for Canadians who further pay taxes.\n\n\n3. All students start work straightaway, pay taxes, and do not qualify for social security. They do not qualify for any student loans by Canadian govt or banks. So, they generate revenue for Canada through their work and taxes. The thing that govt LOVES.\n\n\n4. These students become new consumers and their expenditure generate revenues for local businesses.\n\n\n5. Most Colleges would not survive without international students. Which is good in the sense that only quality colleges will survive and other hanky panky colleges would shut down. However, such closures will lead to job losses, bankruptcy when the colleges won't be able to afford their expenses.\n\n\nSo, considering these factors it will be an industry collapse. Govt needs to control immigration. They need to introduce intelligent policies. The steps that current govt is currently taking are politically motivated not rational.

She missed the times Trump has said he’d deport legal immigrants and naturalized citizens too.

Token changes. The REAL legal immigration rate last year was 1.2 million -not 500,000, like they claim. Have you seen the staes of our highways and roads? Well, it wasn't like that when we were 20 - 25 million - a golden age in Canada,

Chile, you ain't stand in line for hours and days, stop the foolishness. I totally understand that ppl need to do things the right way but they are so many other reasons why ppl don't become legal right away. It cost lots of money, resources to learn everything they need to do to become legal. She was one of those who think they're better than any other immigrant.

This lady is willing to alienate her entire family for Trump. That’s some kind of new pathological low for sure. So she’s got a green card, Trump wants to get rid of legal immigrants too. Did you ever consider that?

In other words I got mine from the standpoint of I got mine??? he has no clue. He wants to deport legal immigrants as well or hasn't she been listening

WOW, JUST FCUKING WOW. idk which year she came to the US, but it takes years to get here legally bc of our immigration system, which definitely needs to be reformed. She should be ashamed, it's clear she thinks she's above her cousins who have been here for 20 YEARS. This is disturbing.

She has zero proof that is how she got into this country. Most south and central American immigrants whether legal or illegal don't want more to arrive.

This lady sounds like a total hater. Im also a mexican who immigrated legally. By the way how is this person mexican/american when she got a green card?

Not only does she throw her family under the bus, but she also doesn't understand that Trumps' border policy will include legal immigrants as well, unless you're European. He alienates her as well. The best well-known example would be how he has been alienating the Springfield Haitian community. They are all legal American citizens.\n\nThis clip underlines the danger of cultivation. At one point, the herd will, while clapping and singing, happily, joyfully, and gleefully walk into their own demise.\n\nNot only has this lady lost her family. If Trumps' project 2024 comes to fruition, she will wake up one day in either a penal camp to do some slave labour or in a bus next to the border on the verve of being deported.\n\nLet's hope there are enough smart enough American people left to save your country and it's people from otherwise very dark days ahead of you.

We don’t have an illegal immigration problem, we have a legal immigration problem. If you’ve been here 30 years illegally, the problem isn’t you, the problem is the insane system that is incapable of identifying and processing people that are a net positive to our country. There’s roughly 7.5 million workers in this country that are technically iillegal. To deport them as Trump and this lady want is to destroy our economy and in turn our country. Team MAGA seem to be clueless about what the state of immigration in America is, despite professing it to be their #1 issue.
