We the people TRUMP THE GOVERMENT. WE THE PEOPLE WANT THEM GONE. THEY CAN COME BACK. ONLY LEGALLY. LOOK THE GOVERMENT FOR PASS 4 YEAR CORRUP? SO WE THE PEOPLE SAY IT AND START WORKING FOR US. U ASS HOLES.

Come in LEGAL WAY!!\na lot of people dont know and don't understand hiw broken the immigration system is.\nI have seen they don't want to fix the problem and they use that excuse of come legally, but won't truly fix it.\nThey deny and deny when its done the legal way. So , by denying they keep those people away and so on and so on. \nYou have to be white and from an European country with lots of money to get in quickly. \nJust look at Melania how she became a citizen . ?

Wow the comments are really making me feel not alone. I came in Germany five years ago, learned the language perfectly, finished my Masters after dealing with unbelievable stress with Ausländeramt, got a job finally in a IT field, will receive my unlimited residence soon, and im looking forward to live in another country in Europe or in the world. Beyond good and evil, Germany (neither the state nor the people) will not reward you as an immigrant even if you do your best.

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.

And in 40-50 years, when the American boomers fade out, we can look back and be forever be thankful this spoiled, despicable, selfish generation is gone. Awful awful people (most of them) and history will remember them as such

If this is what it takes to teach these people who voted against their own friends and families, so be it. I have lost all sympathy for the right wing. They went full religiously driven nutty with an obsession with believing every little crazy story and never looked back. Every person I meet that give me cooky vibes or talks about Jesus or some sort of outdated fucked up thing is a Trumper and nothing will change their minds. Everyone now has at least one relative who, on the surface, would appear to be a perfectly logical person but ask them to justify why they love Trump so much and they give you some totally wacky fact or false claim about some sort of random thing in our world like social security or trans people or immigration and cant seem to wrap their minds around the idea that it isn't true and that those claims are being used to manipulate them.

Canada stopped being attractive to Western and Central Europeans about 15 years ago. Since about 2008, we've only been getting people from the developing world - China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, African states, Arab states, etc. And so today, Canada looks the way it does. And now it's not attractive to ANYONE. Even the Chinese and Indians have realized it's not worth coming over. A whole country destroyed over two generations. Well done, Harper and Trudeau. Well done! Papa Schwab is very proud.

See, I know this is wrong. But we have to be honest I am an Indian but moved to America. I stayed in New Jersey and the environment we created there is absurd. We made the place dirty, uncivilized behaviour and the list is long. This is happening in Canada too. Canadians identify everyone as Indians but the major problem they have is with Khalistanis. They have become a menace, gun violence, crimes and a shit ton of things done by these people. There is always a reaction and it is unfortunate that the innocent ones has to face the reaction. We Indians only look at the good ones as an example when it comes to Indian immigrants, but the chaos and misconduct is created by the rest of the uncivilized Indians who are huge in Numbers. My experience girlfriend was Canadian, her mother owned a departmental store she caught and called cops on many occasions were our peyare caught on camera stealing, damaging the store and also peeing right in the corner of the store. I saw all these footage. The major problem with Canada is most of the Indian immigrants that went there were uneducated and directly went to Canada from Indian villages, it's a cultural shock for them and during the initial period everyone behaved in a uncivilized manner. Please understand the root cause of the issue. If I am a guest at your house and keep on causing harm to your home and if this keeps on repeating you will end up frustrated.

Corrupt government, look at your people??

THIS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS, THIS ARE FREE LOADERS.\n\nREAL ILEGAL IMMIGRANTS COME THROUGH DESERTS, AND RIVERS.\n\nTHEY COME QUIETLY; TRYING TO BE INVISIBLE.\n\nWHEN THEY ARRIVE, THEY SLEEP IN A PARK OR UNDER A BRIDGE, NEXT MORNING THEY LOOK FOR WORK TO BE ABLE TO EAT.\n\nTHEY DON'T ASK FOR ANYTHING, THEY ARE AFRAID TO BE CUT AND DEPORTED.\n\nTHIS CARAVANS, ARE COMING TO GET EVERYTHING FOR FREE, THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK, THEY DEMAND GOOD FOOD, AND A LUXURY PLACE TO STAY.\n\nWHILE AMERICANS, VETERANS, AND POOR PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY STRUGGLES TO KEEP A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS, AND FOOD ON THEIR TABLE.\n\nI HAVE EMPATHY, BUT NOT FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO WORK !

She didn't push him hard enough. How will they find undocumented? How will they identify the ones just living quietly in neighborhoods? He says it'll be easy. How? How can they tell who is here illegally? They're gonna stop anyone who looks Hispanic and in some areas, Asian. In other areas, black people who may be of Hisanic descent. They’re going to be making unlawful discriminatory stops.

Look at these people turn against their own people how they going to work for anybody else this is a damn shame she's racist against her own people

I am a U.S. born Mexican-American. This woman disgusts me. My father was a decorated WWII veteran. He, too, was a U.S. born citizen, as well as my mother. We never had much. One thing they both taught me was to help people who had less than we did. I look mexican, yet when I open my mouth, I don't have the accent my parents had. I have been targeted by random people just minding my business running errands. I have on occasion stuck up for my fellow Hispanic when I have seen them ignored and mistreated. What the f is wrong with this person. Was she not taught anything about empathy and compassion? Isn't she at risk of being deported? The green card can easily be taken away. Honey, they don't want us here. Yes, I include myself in that. This woman is as racist as any skin head. They will turn on her in a second. What a fool. Even Mexico doesn't deserve for this woman to be tossed back to them.

Mexican Repatriation??During the Great Depression over 1.8 million Mexicans was deported weather you where born here or not and they deported people who just merely look Mexican.\nNow if you didn't vote against CRT you would know that including Executive Order 9066

You wait when she goes out after he gets into office. Does she not realize that they will not know whether she is legal or not. Her accent and her looks. She got hers and she is so selfish she wants to hurt them by voting for him. I bet she attends church regularly. Well, lady Jesus would be crying. Unfortunately i have met people in Arizona that think the same way. They don't want to share. She had better wear all the trump gear after he is in office. She might be rounded up first.

Makes me wonder if any Ellis island lineage is in that parade of hate. Now that she has her papers she feels above everyone else migrating to the country, I think the Latino/hispanic community makes fun of people like her. She is literally the Tia that doesn’t get invited to the cook out. Look at her nose in the air as she has no regard for the children that are caught in the system and have no home to return to. Shame.

“Our country,” lmaoooo okay. They have told you and people who look like you that it isn’t your country! An indigenous person posted years ago when a Trumpie told them to go back. They were here first!

This makes us look so soft if it was the other way around they would Open fire on us so we need to be more serious with these people

I am a Documented Legal Alien and married to an American citizen. I choose at this time to not apply for my citizenship as i dont want to have to apply to my own country of birth to enter again should i need to visit relatives there. However i have lived happily now for 20 years in the USA and have never looked back. We did our immigration LEGALLY and as much as i dislike D Trump. I do agree that undocumented Aliens who live here and married to an American' should not be here. We have the same issue in the United Kingdom and its far harder to deal with there, and there is an Ocean surrounding it. If you want to live here, learn the language, (English, even though America has no definitive chosen language) become a legal Immigrant and most of all contribute to America, its people etc and stop using it for your own selfish gains.

This is what a cult looks like! People who would eat their children for their cult god.

Now you Show what people are actually saying. It looks like people are tired of being lied to.

You want to talk about mass deportation. Then literally look at a President Obama. He deported more people than Trump. He literally got rid of wet feet dry feet Cuban policy before leaving office. But he did it quietly so nobody talk about except for the Latino community that still remembers.\n\nYou guys think President Trump will beat President Obama’s record this second time around? I mean statically since we have an open boarder it looks likely.\n\nAt least this time we see it coming versus the last time with President Obama.

Did... he just say that there are some 12 million illegal or otherwise undocumented people in this country but that they've never committed a crime here? Was he even listening to himself? Where does this dis-connect come from? As bad as Trump is, and I hoped he would not win last week, this is the 1 single thing that I agree has got to be done: If you are in this country illegally, you need to be deported no excuses no anchor-babies no nothing! You do not get to just waltz into my house sack out on my sofa decide you like living in my house and get to stay, that's not how this works! ps. I was not far from where the Mexican National Mass Shooter killed 5 of his neighbors here in Texas last year, he was previously deported 4 times and had come right back again, his wife was here illegally his best friend who tried to hide him from authorities was here illegally and 4 out of 5 of his victims were ALSO here illegally and you just cannot make this stuff up people! We have a problem in this country and it's not necessarily rooted in racism... who's fault is it that the vast majority of people in this country are of Hispanic ethnicity? It sure ain't my fault, I'm just against letting people who enter or are otherwise in my country illegally stay and I don't much care who they look like or where they came from!

This guy is in fantasyland. Notice how he says we’re going after the criminals 1st. That’s because the 15 million who have come through the caravans ARE NOT ILLEGAL. They have legally asked for asylum and they are awaiting their asylum hearings in immigration court. TRUMP can’t touch those. In Texas, many of these people have their 1st immigration court hearings in 2027 & 2028!! It usually takes at least 2 years to get to “trial,” then if you lose, you have 2 appeals and each appeal can take 2-3 years.\n\nEven the criminal aliens they pick up will be entitled to have their day in immigration court. This is nothing new. Bush and Obama deported millions of criminal aliens!! Criminal aliens have always been deported. This has never stopped, regardless of who’s the president. Look up ICE detention facilities. You have 2 big ones in California, Otay Mesa & Calexico; in Arizona it’s Florence & Eloy; in Texas it’s Harlingen. They’ve been operating before & during the Biden administration.\n\nAnd wait till businesses & employers start complaining. ?. Stephen Miller could’ve gone after the slaughterhouse meatpacking industry illegals during the pandemic. They were easy targets because they were the only ones working and ICE had the manpower to do it. Did he do it? Of course not!! America would’ve starved to death. \n\nMAGA nation has been played.

How does the 30 verses in the bible tell us to deal with immigration. So in their theory violent criminals are just where roaming around . So is he talking about the people locked up? already? Their friends have the cost of groceries high .Walmart , Kroger. Etc are all republicans donors that overcharged Americans and took that same monies and donated to the party to keep tax cuts . Not looking at the crumbling infrastructure , transportation and deficit they are leaving this nation they say they love. The Americans have just been played yet again ?….

Trail of tears… these people aren’t to be looked up to… not my kids

If they look for people with violent crimes, they should start with the Insurrector. The hypocrisy in that is astounding

Trump u are a legend .straight talking man he looks after his own people .Biden and Harris should be jailed ..

People need to look at the bigger picture. This is the lack of critical thinking. Poor management. When grocies and goods go up, dont cry this is what you voted for.

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.

Wow that pendeja\nneeds to part the veils of illusion, she’s a disgrace to humanity and all people of color! Pinche bofa look in the mirror you ain’t whyte tonta and never will be…\nSMFH!

Hey Democats!! The recent election had NOTHING to do with race or gender. Your hatred based on dishonesty creating division only turned the people away from your side. It is about honesty, morals and freedom. It was about the economy that your side only seems to want to make things worse. It was about representatives should be looking out for our country and our citizens. America first is the only way any of our representatives should think!!! They still don't get it. The American people aren't falling for your lies anymore!!

If they were viable options for legal immigration particularly for people of color, the US border would look very different

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. ?️

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!

Why is the media acting like this is a surprise? Its what Trump ran on and its what the American people WANT! How is this so hard for people to understand? This wasn't some hidden agenda or anything, it was very clear, and PEOPLE WANT IT. He won the popular vote and electoral college. We don't want illegals here, plain and simple. Look at Europe, Sweden is offering Immigrants $34,000 To Leave Country, they let them in, gave them housing, taxpayer money, realized the mistake and now offering MORE tax money for them to LEAVE!

nonsense, just people who wouldn’t be content anywhere. As far as people leaving ,the population grew from approximately 38 and a half million to over 42 in just over three years contributing to a housing shortage. Definitely people who expect a life of luxury handed to them on a silver platter without working for it should look elsewhere. Just click bait.

These have got to be the dumbest most delusional people on earth, it is not about legal or illegal status !!!! It has everything to do with their color !!! If it was thousands of folks from Greenland or Sweden or somewhere with white folks he wouldn’t even mention a border or illegal immigrants, when are people gonna stop being so stupid, Spanish people really screwed themselves big time with this one , especially for a man that hates them with such a passion. Remember last time when he was president and Puerto Rico had a hurricane and when people were asking him what he was gonna do to for them and he said that their own government needs to help them out because he did not know that he was their president as well and asked if they could trade Puerto Rico for Greenland ??? and than still blocked aid from them and said he did not want to give them handouts so they could lay around and be lazy, than when they finally said he needed to go because it didn’t look good , he went and stood there and just threw rolls of paper towels at them.

I'm looking forward to this country imploding. American people? Maybe the ignorant people. We see what ills the people, and it's racism, misogyny they are not like us!

These people represent the worst of us. Repeating trump talking points that are lies. USA has a backbone, $ has always been consistently distributed for USA issues. I look forward to seeing if and when their lives get better than it is right now because of Trump. Their lives will only get better because of their own hard work, not him. \n\nSad!

this issue could have been wrapped up in the 1990s and look what we got now. everyone let it get this bad and now it's got a cheeto in the white house with millions of people who would have never ever showed up if we just put our foot down and fixed this shit 30 years ago. enjoy the next 4 years because yall played around.

“Who knew mass deportation was so complicated” -Trump \n\nYou latinos that voted for Trump should realize that Trump isn’t encumbered by concerns about being re-elected. The voters have no leverage on him any longer. And he’s not big on laws or rules or nuance or details. And his SCOTUS just recently made him a King. So it’s gonna be much simpler to just grab people who look Latino and bus them to Mexico. Say what? You were born in the US and are a legal citizen? Well not anymore, birthright citizenship doesn’t count if your parents or grandparents can’t prove their legal status. Your “citizenship” is illegally predicated per new DHS secretary Stephen Miller. So you became illegal too when Trump won Pennsylvania. So sad. \n\nYou probably should have thought a bit more carefully before you put your trust in a serial liar and criminal. \n\nTa-ta.

You would think that they would know what a tyrant looks like and acts like coming from a country like Cuba and other Latin countries. I'm not sure if these people can vote, but if they voted for trump, they just contributed in screwing over our country!

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

It’s really telling that the people who are supportive of immigrant rights are not people who say ‘I’m just looking after myself and my peers’. Ok. Noted.

You CNN liberals can't do shit, \nThe republicans has won the presidency, popular vote,senate, house, supreme court the power is too much for them that anything they want to do will go easily for them including mass immigration, the economy amd inflation it will shock the Americans people of what trumps first year will look like and the entertainment is gonna be real\nI can't wait to grab my popcorn for trump to lecture cnn reporters and this time his gonna take no shit

ignoring capture costs, court costs, and shipping out costs, it costs about $65,000 a prisoner in this country. so You're looking at just 1 billion dollars on housing them.\n\nOur prisons are over crowded at 1.2 million prisoners and you want to up it to 16.2 million? How much will it cost to build those new prisons? Hint: A lot more than right now because the work force you need to build those prisons are the same people your going to put in them.
