Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

is the maga deportation gestapo also going to arrest the amurrikkkan owners of the businesses and corporations that hire illegal immigrants to keep labor costs low and increase profits? they have hired millions of illegal immigrants for decades and created the demand for these illegal immigrants to come here in the first place. i hope that some maga fascist orange messiah cult member can answer my question. thanks.

If they all get deported, we will not have workers. Our country will go belly up if we lose those workers. We don't have the money to find and send all the illegals back. He didn't build the wall in 2016, how is he going to build the wall this time? I hope he builds a border wall on the Canadian border as well. We have a lot of illegal White folks coming from the Canadian border. Trump hires all foreign people for his companies by using H-1B Visas, too.

They shouldn't rely on undocumented workers. Period. Pay people and hire Americans.

Penalties for businesses that hire illegals are white business owners and white farmers. You will be hurting your own people.

Wait till be finds out that its trunpers that hire the most illegals

Please do,,,Texas the biggest whiner about illegals economy would fall apart without them. Their own AG in 2021 put a report that a minimum of 12% of their work force(1.2M people )are 100% known to be illegal. Tx has individual state laws for it being a crime to hire illegals, they never enforce it b/c the business owners that donate to them would have a fit. They also have a law about it being a crime to rent to illegals, again not enforced b/c their supporters would be upset losing rental income. Tx loves illegals, their economy was built on it for decades, they just want a certain amount they can exploit. Tx has a 7.25 min wage for a reason and illegals may get paid even less than that b/c they have no recourse. Other states that love to complain about them, while loving to exploit them. 19 red states have 7.25 min wage, they don't want to pay US workers a real wage so they use illegals.

I remember back in the 60s , illegals were hired and if/when caught the employers kept wages,it was profitable for them

There are many ways those companies could sponsor and bring workers legally. Just hiring an illegal resident is just easier and cheaper for employers…. But not the correct way. Hopefully the system works

Fine businesses that hire illegal immigrants!

The 87,000 Fully armed IRS agents Biden hired to go after US citizens that didn't pay taxes on their tips can now go after actual criminals that broke FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS.

There are incentives for americans companies that hire illegal immigrants? How are you taking them away? Are they ready to shut down the poultry industry and charge them millions in fines?

It's the white business owners who have houesd and hired them so it's your fault

So HIRE MORE PATROL!!!!!! Canadians needs jobs, hire them!!!!!

You know what businesses hire undocumented immigrants?? ALL OF THE DAMN FARMS ACROSS AMERICA. It going to tank the economy. You think eggs and groceries are high now! Just wait!!

Hire more Border Patrol Officers, if we have millions to give to other countries, we can surely employ more Canadians. The Resources are there!!!!!

Sad to say trump is right i have my reasons 1 come in legally its bad enough that the USA dont want to hire ppl from the USA but are quick to hire an imigrant for lower pay 2 its bad enough that this country is going to shambles and there is enough going on to worry about anyone other than the people from this country, 3 its illegal to do anything that is not right being an undocumented resident is illegal period so if an American cannot break the law no one that comes from another country without documents should be here period

I think what they need to do is make it a crime to hire these illegal and a huge fine for each one hired! Years ago, we passed a proposition like that in California, but the California courts overturned it. That would stop the flow.

Jim banks, had you went to your backyard and pluck your own veggies yet or you hired an illegal to do that for you.

Ma'am advise some illegal immigrants from Mexico to go back in the line!! As a asian woman, I'm tired of these illegal immigrants coming here and feeling intitled.I stood in the line for hours to come here the right way.and Also, Trumph needs to hunt these factories, hiring illegals,and make them pay a hefty fine!! This lady is telling the truth.Put the wall.

And aren't prices for the goods being made by the companies that will no longer be able to hire immigrants going to skyrocket?

I am guessing 5 million Indians will march towards Canada and it is safe to presume that Immigration India formerly known as Immigration Canada is gearing up to accept all these as permanent residents namely the ones with diapers over their heads and I presume Transit companies, municipalities, hospitals, schools, banks, etc.. across Canada are gearing up to hire them right on the spot. Thanks to the Liberals, Canada is now run by the Prime Minister Of India. Happy new India for the illegal Indians. Canadians are complaining about shortage of housing, jobs etc...well that would be the least of your worries because there will soon be shortage of food, diapers, gas, cars and a lot more. If Canada is blessed the Conservatives win a whopping majority to clean all this Indian mess. The solution to these illegal immigrants is super easy and will not cost the government a penny. All the government has to do is give these pricks a 3 months grace period after which anyone overstays gets added to a Black list which means no permanent residency even if they spend the rest of their lives here and any child born to these pricks does not qualify for automatic citizenship plus fines for every day of overstaying with no maximum limit and denial of acceptance even if they leave at a later time and apply from overseas including family reunions. Conservatives will assemble a legal committee to revoke the status of anyone who switched from visitor, fake student etc... to permanent resident and order them deported. Trump is not joking and he will kick out millions in just 1 year because he has robust means and eager sheriffs to round them like chicken and ship them out.

Nope I’m\nNot hiring anyone not from this country

To Michael Marsh, Hire Americans.

TRUMP IS RIGHT THO THEYRE LETTING CRIMINALS INTO OUT COUNTRY I BEEN NOTICED THEY HAD TO GTFOH MONTHS AGO LOL AT FIRST I HAD NO ISSUE BUT WHEN I COULDNT GET HIRED FOR MONTHS IN MY OWN COUNTRY CAUSE ALL THEY DO IS HIRE MIGRANTS OOO NAH BYE BYE MIGRANTS BACK TO YOUR SAND HUTS

Answer to her question. Hire Americans.

in the meantime.. no free school allowed for illegals, no free health coverage, penalties to whoever hire illegals

Migrants immigrants etc have to have a job here in the US to survive. Question who hires them. The people that hire them should be fined heavily or given jail time this will stop illegal from staying in the US. Guess what the US won't fine or give jail time to those that hire the illegals. Funny those are the same people that voted for Trump.

Trump hired foreign workers for his hotel to save money before! now, he better starts to hire American workers and pay them properly!

Why not go after the businesses that hire said illegals? Oh wait, donors are businesses so that won’t happen. Come on, man.

Whilst in principle it seems reasonable to deport illegals, with certain caveats, there will be an economic affect. He talked about pressurising businesses who hire illegals - who will backfill those jobs - and at what cost? How many citizens are prepared to become fruit pickers for a pittance?

Hire temporary Mexican workers leagally

Didn't Trump's businesses hire illegal immigrants

Genius politicians, sanctions, to who hire them, starting with contractors, construction companies, huge agricultural companies, cut the bullshit about illegal immigration, you know the solution, but this economy need, them, and you politicians, republicans and democrats just use this to get electoral votes in your favor every election the same bull

who will clean the toilets and change the rooms in the high priced hotel rooms for 5$ hour. americans would have to live homeless on the streets on those wages and we know how republicans hate that. this will have a devastating effect on large business and food distribution chains. they were hiring illegals because they could ignore the laws regarding employees rights in working conditions and overtime. not just underpaying them but having them work under illegal conditions some using the field as their bathrooms. this will end badly and they will blame the other party for the fall out as usual. part of the minimum wage increase act was due to the fact the wages didn't match the cost of living. people couldn't afford to pay rent so they live in their car or on the streets and steal if necessary to make ends meet. these were americans doing this not illigals. people in the red states that voted for this will be the first to get burned as usual. it was the democratic party that offered the safety net for those red states.

All those Rich Republicans that owned businesses that hire illegals....? Yeah buddy... It's like the blind leading the blind

Hear me out CNN not all employers that hire illegals are good people a lot of them use them for FREE labor after the job is done they tell them to kick rocks and guess what they can’t do anything about it

The concept is a good idea, with deterring businesses from hiring undocumented immigrants and tougher entry requirements etc., but we all know the execution of this policy is going to result in instances of inhumane conduct and will give permission to radical racist organisations who think they have Authority to take matters into their own hands and calling it civil duty.

That guy is so naive! Punish companies that hire, so now these immigrants become homeless. Crime will increase. And then crackdown on all these miserable people and throw them out by loading planes and flying them home? Other countries won’t accept them. \n\nJust sounds like total chaos. \n\nYou can’t violently move millions of people without incredible misery and strife.

Take away all the free benefits, don't allow businesses to hire any of them, tell them all to leave on their own and apply the right way, the ones that don't leave they will be deported and never again have the option to apply for citizenship again

Does this man not understand that Donald main hiring practice was illegal aliens

The farmer will cry if they penalize companies that hire illegal! Who gonna slaughter the cattle? No one who is American born wanna do that

Idiots like GA did few years ago oulawed hiring illegal federal fugitives 187,000 left in weeks.

This senator elect is ignoring the fact that Republicans blocked the creation of a federal visa status checking system and imposing stiff penalties on employers for hiring undocumented immigrants. This is such BS, they’ll deport the convicted immigrants and call it day.

So we’re gunna penalize trump roght? because he hired undocumented workers….

every GOP supporter that I know that had a business hires illegals in order to save on payroll.. there will be a lot of agri/construction jobs unfulfilled, and prices will raise.

People and companies who hire should always have been prosecuted. It wasn't done because so many businesses do it, they need the cheap labor. Deport those cheap workers and see what happens to prices in the USA

If they wanted to stop illegals from being hired all they have to do is start locking up the boss when they pick up the aliens

They're not going to do anything. Just some show round ups... They like the chaos on the border... And most all the businesses that hire them, construction, agriculture, healthcare, food processing are all republican businesses...they have never done that. Gonna be a shit show IMHO. Since Trump and Republicans are incompetent managers...

BS rinse, repeat. Always how trumps sycophants answer questions. Dana asked you HOW it will be done. Not WHY you want it done. trump has been one of the worst offenders of hiring (and not paying) undocumented workers.
