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.

I'm so overwhelmed at the audacity of sellout ? ? ? I hope gets deported.

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'm Hispanic, 3rd gen American. My great grandparents were born in Mexico, my grandparents were born in Texas in the 1920s. Anyway, I grew up an hour from the Mexican border. I don't know any family that lives in Mexico. IDK why these media pundits feel that because I'm Hispanic, I would want an open border. I'm as American as anyone else. There is a legal way to get into this country. Follow the law like this lady did.

I’m Hispanic born and raised here and voted for Trump !!! Get every illegal immigrant packing !!!MAGA !!!

I’m a Canadian citizen. I married a Jewish African woman. And helped her get her citizenship after we got married here in Canada. Then we stood outside in the -20 degrees c freezing cold in a long lineup of good people trying to get their citizenships like my wife, all legally obeying the laws of Canada. I’m white so it doesn’t mater our skin color or religion. Its about love and respect to the laws of our country. What I was talking about before is we here in Canada have been suffering from over taxation, extremely high rental rates, high food costs, greatly reduced medical care (My Mom died recently from lack of proper med care resources). They put her lonely dying body in the hallway where she was robbed of her cell phones, money, food and respect. Due to migrants and illegal immigrants overloading the beds and rooms pouring in from other countries. they drained our existing medical system resources and much more. Drug addicts who overdosed on Fentanyl they take first and push all other patients aside. Doctors take them first before helping a dying mother, father, brother or sister, infant and children pushed aside to save a drug addicts life first. I have been told many times this is also do to them taking care of the pouring in migrants and illegal immigrants using it all up. Where is love and justice? Yes, you failed us Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. You sold us Canadian citizens out and tossed us aside for your own agendas. You are a disgrace to Canada and we the people want you out of office.

Families of illegal immigrants are going to get exactly what they voted for. I’m sorry but they damned themselves. Also deporting those who contribute greatly in those jobs, trump just damned his own economy

You see how stupid politics work. The Republicans could've passed a bill under Biden but shut it down so they can pass it under trump so he can get the credit. Party before country, that's why I'm an independent.

Just think folks once all of the illegals are out of our country we can start helping our homeless citizens. I know imagine that happening instead of catering to these illegals like they're royalty. I'm not just talking about Spanish I'm talking about Haitians-romanians,Chinese,africans,indians,EVERYONE who is here that's not supposed to be here. The executive order must give police a direct order from the commander and chief of the USA stating the police are ordered to ask for identification on all people's in this country on spot without cause. If you're a citizen you don't have anything to worry about if you're illegal you get deported within 24 hours after arrest NO NEED FOR A COURT CASE they will be put onto busses in every city loaded to the gills driven to the boarder and yes folks the NATIONAL GAURD might have to be used to show everyone how fkn serious we are about taking our country back. Enough is Enough democrats have proven they can't be trusted to run our country. What a nightmarish mess President Trump has to clean up.

Anyone reading this that is planning on crossing the border. I'm gonna be frank with ya. Aside from the fact that you probably shouldn't be trying to circumvent our laws just to avoid a situation you don't like in the USA right now... you also shouldn't be trying to cross our border in what is becoming our winter season. \n\nThere are plenty who try, and many do meet a grim fate due to the elements they are just not prepared for. And even if you think you can do it, or prepare enough to do it, you still shouldn't. There isn't much you can do when you have fallen into one of the many sloughs that hide beneath the snow and ice during winter, waiting to make you a popsicle. And if you get out of that, you still have to somehow get warm again. But let's say you avoid that, what then? Well, we have these really cold biting winds that make the -30 temps feel like -40 or worse. But you came prepared, so let's say you can handle that for a bit. Well, you sweat. You will get damp, then wet, over time. Then your fancy clothing doesn't do much for you anymore. Ya dig?\n\nOh but wait, there's more. So we have this wildlife eh', and it likes to do this thing that wild life does... and it eats you. Coyotes are one such kind of wildlife. Bears are another. Both are prolific in certain areas, all the way down to the border in some cases. \n\nGranted, coyotes usually aren't a huge problem for us up here, but that's cause we know how to deal with them usually. Bears are another issue, that even we have problems with at times. You'll probably run into a black bear if you run into one. Grizzlies tend to be further north and to the west. You're gone too far somehow if you find Polar bears. \n\nThere are other critters to mention, but they're more active in the summer, like rattle snakes. (Yes, we have them)\n\nOkay, so you got past the border, and you actually somehow managed to survive the winter temps in your trek to some sort of civilization. Now you have to somehow find a place to live. This is of course assuming you decided to try to bypass all our border security of course. You could go to an embassy and declare asylum I guess. But right now, you're more likely to be given a ticket back to where you came from initially. So that's not something in the game plan for you. What then?\n\nWelcome to being homeless. Oh, and you're still having to deal with our winter temperatures. \n\nSuffice to say, right now is not a good time to be trying to ignore our laws just to do whatever you want. Consider this a fair warning, as this about all the F's I have to give over it all in regards to your safety. I just am dismayed that some of you mouth breathers are going to get your kids harmed because of it all as well.

That woman is a typical example she reached her status so it’s time to pull up the ladder for anybody else. I’m okay so why should I worry? I hope she doesn’t get picked up by mistake by the ice. Then she will have to prove her American she is

Yes now its canada turn now so much complaint over and the crimes and bad rep the immigrants are getting. Now i'm not saying all cause i'm sure there are good ones but like always the good ones are in small numbers vs the loud and annoying ones. But man they really need to make a land for the refugees i swear cause again we are already having this issue and now actually doing another election.

The illegal immigrant that contributes to society is not who Donald Trump is worried about. Donald Trump will get out the illegal immigrant that is a convicted felon the criminal out of our country. We don’t need them here to hurt our women our children. Donald Trump said he wants people to come into the country they need to come in legally but the criminal will pay Will be deported. And I am just confused. Why does the Democratic Party want illegal immigrants here on our streets hurting our American people someone makes sense to me. Why should we have them in America and I’m talking about the criminals not the hard-working illegal. immigrants I also have friends that came into this country legally, they worked very hard to get here. It’s not fair to them to have people into this country illegally it’s just not right.

I give it two weeks after they actually begin before we get reporting that they have deported a legal resident (3 days for it to happen, and the rest is for discovery and reporting).\nI give it one month tops before we find out they have deported actual citizens. I kind of hope I'm one to be honest. I'd love to reap the benefits of that lawsuit.

I voted for Harris and despise Trump, however, I'm hoping Repubs do exactly what they've been wanting to do for YEARS, which is to finish their fence/wall along the ENTIRE border, deport ALL illegal/undocumented migrants, many of them Trump supporters, and shut about the stupid border already!! Americans are exhausted with the topic!!! I live in Arizona, I know of some illegal migrants close to me, they support Trump, and I'll be calling ICE on them on Jan 21st and will demand they get deported, and will work to find ALL migrants who supported Trump, and get them out of here!! Trump will crash the economy again, of course, so Dems will have to come in and clean it up again, as they always do after Republicans.

Too many people are so uneducated about what Trump is really going to do!! They do NOT understand how tariffs work!! Unlike Kamala’s plan to stop the price gouging in the grocery stores…the GOP will drive prices through the roof!!! Anyone who voted for Trump has a lot of moments ahead of finding out what he was claiming he would do that 1) either he can’t because he doesn’t have the authority to just play God or 2) he had not intended the results that people thought in the first place!! \nBut it is truly going to be a scary time as we watch unemployment start to skyrocket, especially as he gets rid of career government employees!! The unemployment numbers under Biden soon will be a distant memory!! After all, Biden has continued to drop unemployment numbers on a monthly basis, breaking all prior records of low unemployment on a monthly basis for the past 4 years!! The inflation rate which did not include costs of food, were also dropping consistently including this past month!! I believe it under 3% by close to 1/2 a percentage point!\nBut what will truly be frightening will truly be if he accomplishes his plan to get rid of SSI, Medicare & Medicaid as well as the Affordable Care Act!! I’m sure millions are also hoping the $35 cap on Insulin doesn’t just stop before they have to pickup their next prescription! \nBottom line: when in our History have we ever faced a more frightening future at the whim of the Dictator in the White House??

They managed to find a way to get them in with financial resources, hotel housing and airfare, I’m sure they can figure out how to reverse engineer.

He said he was going to do it and they voted for him any way so I'm adopting the IDGAF anymore attitude concerning whatever is coming. Y'all get what you get.

This is so mind-boggling. I'm not against immigrants coming legally, but being ok with someone being offensive to your ethnicity is crazy. That is your heritage and where you come from. Trump doesn't care ANYTHING about you or your family. \n\nWe're all buckling up for what's to come. So, get ready for what you all have asked for. When you have these racist Trump supporters who come in your direction, they're not going to see that you voted for Trump. Guess what? All they're going to see is an immigrant, even though you're a citizen. \n#Godisstillincontrol

He most likely won’t get them all out. The cayotes ( human smugglers) are going to go back to their old ways of bringing ppl in under trains , tunnels, etc. and watch how hard for the “no tax on overtime” ?? I’m a trump supporter but you’d be stupid to think a president can come in and start just doing everything he says. The only one who loses in all this is us people who pay taxes, fight each other over a man made system of drama and politics that at the end of the day doesn’t matter because we aren’t moving forward

I'M A BLACK MALE, ADOS, NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP --- BUT THE MAJORITY OF WHITE WOMEN AND HISPANIC MEN DID, ABOUT 45% OF LATINOS VOTED FOR THIS SHIT --- I'M JUST GOING TO MIND BY OWN BUSINESS AND SAY, Y'ALL GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR.

You do realize it’s not just Latinos that would be getting deported. Mass deportation also includes Africans, Haitians, Arabs, Egyptians, etc. Do you think an ICE officer will cares enough to differentiate between a Black American born in the US and say a Black Honduran ?? What about families who are mixed race and one parent is US born while the other isn’t? Then what? I’m immensely disappointed by Latinos voting for this man, but mass deportation isn’t “cut and dry” where it’s only going to effect one group. It’s going to impact TONSSS of people across the board.

I'm moving there to get away from dictator Donald Trump

I'm curious if any of the immigrants are going to try to hide so they won't get deported

I came in legally but I'm undocumented I'm I still going to get deported?

That’s what the American people want. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of them. I think you gotta be a racist pig act that way.

It is so selfishness. She said I don't care as long as I'm OK. These people are foriginals, but they don't want the other people to get what they get. This is very sad.

Trump doesn’t care about due process, he doesn’t even care about loyalty. He locked up his own lawyer because his lawyer decided to use something called the first amendment. His lawyer, what makes you think he’s going to care about some voter he’s never met before!? I’m fifth generation Irish American and even I’m concerned about getting deported.

They need 100,000 ICE officers to even begin this plan.\n\nIf you voted for Trump, start sending in your applications. I'm _sure_ you all will meet the physical and mental requirements ??.\n\nHave fun risking your lives on a lie just like the Border Wall. I'm sure you'll get at least 6% of this plan done just like that one, and it won't totally be a waste of time, money, and human lives.

That guy gets it. Also can we can we hire more people for the backlog. I'm tired of my immediate family being separated even though everyone one of us should be legal. But the government is being unfair. We are supposed to have rights. I did my part. i voted for Kamala. Come on, Biden please let my family reunite. I don't feel good being separated now that Trump has won the presidency

I’m not gonna lie! That’s one thing I do agree on because it so many of them and we are taking care of them better than our own people here! They get all of our resources!

They voted for their trail of tears. I hope they get it 10 fold. I’m all for them being shipped out of here. You get what you vote for. ??‍♂️

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.

I’m sorry that she doesn’t get who Trump really is. Definitely not Latino lover.

While I respect her for doing it the right way, as everyone should, her lack of empathy for her family members is terrible. I’m not even talking about her voting for Donald. I’m talking about her thinking she is colonized now that she has become a citizen. \n\nI never, ever understood why certain Hispanics and Latinos do this. They want to be “white” so bad, they don’t even hear what’s being said about them to their faces. This lady thinks wearing MAGA gear will get her a pass. I want to see her WITHOUT the MAGA gear and see what happens. Then again, she would make an excuse for that!

All this because people want to move to find a better life for themselves. One of the most beautiful feelings in life is being able to afford everything you need in life. I have tasted what it means to be b r o ke and I can tell it’s not something you wish for anyone get some ass i st ance. Thanks to Larysa Caba, I don’t have to experience that kind of life anymore. I’m grateful and I will always be.

I'm in Law clerk program\nShould I go for job in this field or should I go for construction jobs when I get my work permit??? ???

Hello sir doing (CSTN) computer system technician networking courses from a local college. I'm literally confused like what would be my future ? what should i do in my life to get pr to get settled. I've no idea what should i do please guide if you have any suggestion cause sometimes i feel like i'll do trucking or become a welder (19 year old) Kind of feel pressurized.

I can't believe this lady likes trump ??when Trump doesn't even like her. He's just saying stuff just to get her vote. I cannot believe she is even sacrificing her loving family to support a person that lies. Thank God I'm not related to her.

Did they just forget when Donald Trump‘s GOP started rounding up foreigners who pay their dues here? I guess I’m the only one? Haitians and Mexicans getting deported under Trump.

I understand this woman’s position because she understands the situation unfortunately many people don’t and only focus on the sentimental part of it. Trump ones told his friends that if talking about him would get them hired he said go ahead and trash me and go make your money. Now that sounds like someone who cares even if they themselves come out looking bad and their character damage. People, family can truly be selfish in many ways, I’m more than positive is not easy for her to have this opinion yet she understands what is at stake. Nevertheless people will critic and condemn what they don’t understand in its fullness. Hint: if things continue the way they are their will be no US for anyone at least not the US that people are fleeting their countries to come to.

I’m moving into a bachelor with my two teen kids, a boy and a girl. With no kitchen. Hey it has a wet bar ? I didn’t get to look at the place I just can’t get there from where I’m staying. Im desperate. I’ve been looking for 3 years and homeless for one

I have seen a plethora of them on Canadian pred channels getting caught out there scouting and preying. I'm just saying!

C this is what I’m talking about when I say Trump supporters are a bunch of solace puppets. How you can be OK with losing majority of your family as if getting back to this country is the easiest thing much less getting citizenship is beyond me. You still have your green card because getting citizenship in this country takes 15 to 20 years, I don’t understand what kind of flex you think you have why saying you have a green card.S

“M. Singh and L. Singh” and they were never to be found again. There is a thing about it being a false flag operation as well. Maybe or not. But there was an Indian diplomat who behaved suspiciously before the flight took off. It will make for interesting research…\n\nIndian Consul general Surinder Malik pulled his wife and daughter off that flight before it took off. \n\nThere is a book called Soft Target by McAndrew and Kashmeri that is banned in India for obvious reasons. \n\nA similar event was an explosion in the luggage compartment of a plane in Madras airport that was blamed on the LTTE to justify IPKF operations against the Tamils, eventually culminating in Rajiv Gandhi’s assasination. \n\nBefore any “patriot” gets excited about me being a separatist, I want to clarify that I am against people hating at each other. Just putting stuff forward that is already available and there are always two sides to a coin.?

7:15 ?? This is exactly the reason Immigration has to stop!!! We Canadians have paid into the system our entire lifes! These immigrants come here and have exactly this mentality!!! (We've come here and put 3 or 4 years into the system). Your entitlement is absolutely sickening!!! You want country that resembles yours? Get back on the plane! Stop complaining about our traditions! Stop rioting about problem's happening in your country in our country! Our country was a much better place before this immigration mess took place. I'm not racist by any means. There's people that come with a suitcase and thrive and work there balls off to make something of themselves and rely on themselves and embrace this country and are so appreciative for the opportunity our country has given them as a second chance, and are amazing additions to our country!. Then there's this.....

Hi sir, i have enrolled in an immigration agency, I'm getting afraid while the process going on for PR through them. I want to consult with you whether can we trust them or not. What can we ask them to trust if they don't have ircc license?

There should be zero immigrants coming to this country right now. This government needs to help the sick, disabled, addicted Canadians befire any other people. There are Canadians living on the streets while they watch immigrants stroll into hotels & get new phones & money for just about everything. \n\nThis is more smoke blowing! Nope! I'm not falling for the Liberal/NDP b.s. ever again! Our services are destroyed. Fix those first! Help Canadians first! Our tax $$ have been going to foreign countries & immigrants for too long.

Seniors are forced to work long past 65 because we can't afford to stay in our apartments or our homes because of this true liberal communist government is more event on stealing taxpayers dollars to give themselves than to help the people of this great country I'm 68 years old I can't quit I owe the government money every year cuz they say I make too much so if 38,000 is too much that I don't know what is seniors should not be taxed at all. On our payroll checks they're already screwing us every time we go to the pumps every time we go to the store we still get screwed on taxes that we pay more than any other country in the world pays

The interviewer should have framed his question regarding terrorists coming into Canada and how it effects Canadians.. Instead he had to specify the Jewish community. I'm tierd of Canada being split into communities... We need to all be represented under one community and stop all this divisive grouping. If we are going to be a multicultural society that lives in harmony.. We need to get back to being Canadian first. Your ethnic religious and or race identity should not enter into politics as it relates to being Canadian! Our laws and rights are to be provided to everyone without prejudice.
