Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit crimes at a lower rate than natural-born US citizens. That is a statistically proven fact, and it makes sense considering that if we speed, we could get a ticket. If they speed, they might get deported. That's a fine to pay versus a potential death sentence... most people who immigrate here are trying to escape the very things they get accused of doing. Look, I'm not saying that people coming in illegally is a good thing, that every one of them has good intentions, or that border security is acceptable as it is. I just wish we put this much attention on those at the top of the income chain committing white-collar crime instead of something like this and fix the immigration situation without policies that will flip our already jacked up economy upside down for the sake of votes.

Pack your bags everybody you’re all going to be deported because Trump loves deportation, and he only loves the people that will get under his desk

Why do these people insist on gaslighting Americans & keep lying about violent crime? Crime is the lowest its been in 50 years, why do they lie about the crime rates? Why can't they focus on actual problems Americans are dealing with like Inflation, groceries & gas prices why are they huper focused on a national massive deportation & not any other polices?

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.

The sad reality is that if Trump follows through with his plan, he will only be deporting those people on the list he already has; that is, the list of people who came here legally. Ironic!

The thing is his maga people think that they are free of his deporting orders and like all Americans will be the ones paying the millions of dollars it will take to do that. It will be another fail like his wall.So is he going to send the Americans back to America who have illegally entered other countries especially his good pal Musk who entered on a student visa and within months chose to break the laws America had in place to stop laws being broken

i agree with deporting illegal migrants, however cost of certain labour jobs will go up and the people will pay, these are good people who do hard work and it will be a rude awakening for americans if they’re all mass deported— i do think a Harris presidency overall would have been better. but only time will tell, i hope the level of discourse and overall temperature of the USA can remain calmer than previously seen. ❤??

When Joe Biden was elected and allowed millions of illegals in the country without vetting them, the left did not warn him. Now, Trump got the mandate from the people through a landslide victory to deport, the left now is warning. Hypocrisy.

This is so crazy, i'm for deporting criminals and people who just got here but if you've been here for some time you should pay a fine and become a citizen

Mass Deportation is the right of American People not your corrupt crooked wicked anti-people CNN, Dana.

Deport people to a place that will not allow entry? Dream on trump.

Opinion: \nMASS deportation is not going to happen. Increase in legal & fatal accidents will. Sad that people of minority races will be most affected...many because of racial profiling and will involve legal Americans & illegal immigrants.?

Trump won cause Latinos 9men and women) voted in mass numbers for him. Now those same people are going to have family members deported cause of who they voted for. It's called 'you get what you vote for'.

What's wrong with you people. Trump and his mega cronies said they're going to rip families apart and they're going to deport them all. Old young children whatever they don't care. They believe they have a mandate. Go ahead keep having your little news discussions like it's just no big deal. The media better wake up and start telling the people what it's going to be like, you already blew it pre-election.

Why would anyone think Trump cares about ripping families apart? He ripped his first two families apart by cheating on Ivana and then dumped Marla and Tiffany. Ya think that did not rip his own two families apart? \nWhy would anyone think Trump has any intention of deporting people legally? Surely he could find enough armed Proud Boys etc., have them grab people off the streets, shove them on helicopters that could briefly cross the border at night and force the people off at gunpoint. Or load them onto small boats, get close to shore in Baja, and force the people at gunpoint to swim to the beach?\nGetting SCOTUS to deny immigrants/migrants due process should be a cinch with the current group of injustices that granted him immunity for criminal acts.

This is just sad and beyond pathetic. She's putting Trump first before her very own blood and family. Trump will soon end up deporting her as well. These people are completely ignorant.

We the people made it clear we support mass deportation !

So are we deporting polish, russian, greek, and italian immigrants too? Just curious. If they're here illegally, but they're as white as the people in the video, are they also getting deported? ?

“As a MexicanAmerican”One who wants to shut the door behind her. Even her accent is an offense to people who want mass deportation, they don’t consider you an American. Talk about voting against your own interest.

Increase vetted temporary workers with temporary cards. Open US citizenship for skilled people we need. Illegal immigrants must be deported. If they are from Venuesela or cuba, then send them to Africa.

I hope he deports all those Latinos back. Including the denaturalization. I am all in for the ride, Mr. Trump. Give the people what they want by voting for you even after you told them what you are going to do.

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

I would deport a lot of people if I was U.S. president, but deporting Dreamers is a bad idea. There should be a bipartisan compromise: strict immigration enforcement combined with a path to citizenship for Dreamers (which is something that was unsuccessfully negotiated during Trump's first term). I'm not a Trump supporter, but I want to see Congress work together on immigration in a bipartisan manner.

Guess who will pay the 88 Billions a year to deport illegals lol those people are working jobs that Americans don’t even want to take. Grocery prices will go up and everything else. Good luck!

We cannot comply with this sick evil plan of Trump. States need to exert their rights. Deporting so many people would result in the violation of their human rights.

The economy would crash if they took all these people out of the country! Like they aren't deporting the criminal element already!

Its a mandate. The people have spoken. Deport,deport,deport.

Let him deport people who came illegally. What kind of citizen wants illegal immigrants in their country?

No illegal immigration, done, simple, we should follow suit and deport illegals. There are enough people following the rules and jumping through the hoops to come to Canada legally.

If you are mad about illegal aliens getting deported, you are mad about lower prices for American citizens. If you call someone a traitor for voting for trump you are a traitor yourself. They are illegally coming into our country. If you US citizens illegally go into other countries you will probably die or be held for ransom. Why are y’all so happy and ready to pay for other people when we have families veterans homeless to feed the government uses illegal immigration as an excuse to spend government funds as an excuse to rebuild America for Democratic party votes That is absurd and insane. If you support this, you are a threat to democracy and a traitor to the US the Democrats committed treason over the last four years and if you look back in history, it goes on and on They have never helped the American people for American people. They aren’t for us. Wake up, realize who controls the media realize who is trying to consistently brainwash you realize who doesn’t want our country where our bills say in God we trust to no longer be a Christian country. Let’s go back to a wireless and Affordable country. Let’s not instigate fuel support and fun wars across the world let’s tax other countries and receive money from other countries rather than take from American citizens that can’t afford to be taken from. in God we trust God bless America

Well, if you look Hispanic, You should be worried about MASS Deportations = get a Good Lawyer You may need one, since the Golden Grifter-in-Chief is talking like He wants ONLY WHITE People in the USA!

This guy talking will have to wait and see if it’s possible or not to deport that many people. I say they won’t get them all but at least 60% of them NEED to go home.

Deportation means sending them home, not sending them to Canada. We can't handle anymore people, especially illegals.

Sorry but all my life (60 years) illegal immigrants were always deported..I’ve seen it happen in the 70s,80s,90s,00s,10s..I’m Irish and I know at least 12 people who were deported (my brother was prevented from entering the USA in the 80s…US immigration authorities have always been active..

Obama deported 2.5 million people, nothing new..!

trump can not and will not deport millions of people ive worked to hard for this organisation to allow such lunacy. globalists unite marxism foreverrrrr

Man these Latinos just don't get it. America is systemically racist it's in its roots. The whole MAGA and build that wall montra was about white people being replaced and last I checked y'all ain't white. Ask Steven Miller who vows to not only deport all of you but start changing amendments in the constitution. Jan 20th be ready.

Trump said he's deporting 18 million illegals so is Trudeau just gonna let all those peoples come into Canada now?

These idiots have no idea what the ramifications of deporting so many people will be. Fining employers is not even the tip of the iceberg. They have no idea. Just imagine the cost of housing and the increase this would lead to. They have literally no idea.

I'm a Democrat and I think anybody that came here illegal should be deported my family came here legally. I don't think we should build a wall and burn up all of our money I think we need to put in more people and drones and helicopters give people a job. And a retirement

Give them what they want. They want this mass deportation let them have it. It’s going to cost a lot of money will likely control the house of representatives and the US Senate as well as the president go ahead and do it find the money pay for it do it. Now it’s going to be very weird when we try and figure out who’s going to do the jobs that these people are literally doing right now, but worry about that later. Right now do what you said you would do. Don’t take all day. Don’t slack off do it now. The man said on day one that’s what he would hold him to that. Give the people of America what they want give them those deportations give them those tariffs when the economic problems come with both initiatives. Let Republicans deal with it because this was the plan they proposed let them execute it.

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

Oh great! Canada has already done it's part. No more! We're full of freeloaders as it is. Anyone who sneaks in...........no free meal ticket; put them to work in agricultural and construction jobs to earn their benefits until we can find a way to deport them humanely. Go to the GTA some time and watch the people showing up to the food banks in their Mercedes and Audis.

Another topic that most Americans are clueless about. Well, here's some info that I'm sure you don't know. My ex-husband was from Central Ameri, a and I've known hindreds of people who have come here illegally throughout the years and NEVER until this past year have I known of anyone being deported without a court date first. Well, an ex family memeber of mine got caught at the border twice (once in 2023 and once in 2024) and was deported twice with NO COURT DATE! So, whatever people THINK is going on, they're wrong. But hey, if Trump says it, it MUST be true! ?

Yes, deport EVERY illegal migrant. The people who voted for this should feel the impact of this completely. Increasing the penalties on business who employ them will ALSO be a great tactic. YES... destroy the domestic food supply chain, and many manufacturing supply chains, that relies overwhelmingly on migrant labor. We voted for this. Let's get it done.

OMG as a Filipino American, she mirrors the voices of a good number of Filipinos who voted for Cheetos…appalling and they call themselves Catholics and Christians, no care or heart for their family who might get deported…. These people set foot in America, and now are self righteous and perfect….my conscience is clear I did not vote for a con man without a heart?

This is the stupidest thing ever, when they deport people they send them back to where they came from, how many “illegal” Canadians are we worried about here? \n\nLegacy media doing its part to stoke the fires of idiocy and ignorance as per usual.

It’s unfortunate for the millions of decent people who entered illegally. Without deportations and border closure they’ll keep coming. The blame falls solely on democrats for luring them here. Shame on them.

Pakistan just deported millions of people in a matter of weeks. Don't tell me the US can't do it.

These people are crazy. We have a economic crisis in Canada right now we need to deport our illegal immigrants why would we take on people who didn’t immigrate properly in the first place there not victim they over stayed there visas or illegally crossed the border
