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.

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.

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..

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

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! ?

What a bunch of fear mongering. I'm blown away people still religiously soak in whatever these garbage news (tabloid) stations spew.

Can somebody tell me what the receiving country have to have some sort of agreement with the US government? You can’t just fly a plane in with people and just offload them like that? So what are they going to offer the receiving country to take these people back because I’m sure they’re not gonna do it for nothing.

If they come here I’m willing to move to USA legally. We cannot allow more people here we are overwhelm. Go back to ur country and fight for ur country.

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!

Deporting 15 million people means deporting 10000 people every day, day in day out, for the coming four years. Last year the US deported around 1.1M people which is about 3000 people daily.

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.

I`m actually a bit amazed by the simplicity the repuplicans throw around the word depotation. wonder where they are going to deport these people to. If a country will not accept the deported people, you can`t really force them. why should mexico accept immigrants from south america into the country.

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!

As a Canadian, veterans son, I'm sure I can find enough people to keep our borders from letting in illegals into Canada. Freeland will be in first seacan to ukrain with other illegals

I'm moving to Canada ... somewhere. It's very confusing. \nWhat would be nice would be a check off list for each territory (you could do it FIRST) with features. \nAccess to water within 10 miles \nCity library \nMuseum \nSnow removal \nGood schools \nPastry shops (I know this isn't a priority, but if you make the system easy enough people will do it for you.) \nRental prices more than 2,000 \nRental prices more than 1,000 \n \nGet the idea? \n \nI'm retired, financially well off, love reading, no kids (or grandkids) does Canada want me to move in, spend my money? Then make it easier. \n \n!I could click off my choices and have a list of small towns / villages.\n\nI have 6 pages of scribbled notes so far

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.

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.

Option 1 we gonna SPEND a HUGE amount of money to deport millions of people. \nOption 2 we filter out high crime immigrants and filter those out, after we charge $20000 each illegal for a 2 year visa and work permit as a trial time, and see how they contribute to society. \n Do you have any idea how much money will come in?? It will close 1/4 of your countries deficit.\n Look I'm an immigrant myself, and I was brought in legally as a kid. However because of the difficulties or the bureaucracy I was left out of status. The company I worked for (a delaship) wants me back, customers reach out to me directly because they trusted me and were happy with my performance as their advisor. But guess what I can't work, but I also can't be deported because my country of birth is at war. And I dont want to go back quite frankly because it's back there I'm gonna be an alien more than I am here. I finished a degree and paid my way through collage here I grew up here, and even though because of the problems of the immigration system I was constantly limited with basic equal opportunities I still see this as my home, and actually appreciate this country more than some people I know that were born here. \n Now again - I suffered plenty with being limited as an immigrant here and I was forced to work shitty heavy labor for years and years, I worked overtime plenty with no overtime pay and such (y'all just have no idea what immigrants life is) and in my case - I got stuck in that status for 2 decades. Where I could have had a high degree by now, I instead have been just busting my ass for peanuts. I never asked for any help from the government here even when I could have, never filed unemployment. \nAnd after all this you gonna deport me? Great fucking plan. Land of brave and opportunity ??

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??

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't too many people who will work replacing roofs and other dangerous jobs for ten dollars an hour. But apparently the republicans have good supply of people standing by.

I'm ashamed of all the Latino/Hispanic people who voted for trump, they're all pathetic ?

Well, this is why we’re in the situation that we’re in. She said it, she just doesn’t care. WOW, I’m sorry but I don’t see anything Christ-like in that. Yes, it’s illegal but based on their circumstances and situation, maybe it’s also warranted. Regardless, she doesn’t seem to care.\n\nSo, we can have a CONVICTED FELON as President elect and the people are willing to forgive that but not anyone else?????

nice lady- he can offend my people all he wants as long as I'm dandy? just goes to show you the absolute selfishnes that has taken over american culture. Me first. and dont give a $hit about ANYONE else? sad bleak outlook

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

This is so selfish. It’s very much, “I’m a citizen so no longer my problem.” The truth is both citizens and non-citizens will likely be rounded up in the confusion. Just shows how selfish people are.

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.

Asylum was supposed to be at the first safe country. They are not Asylum seekers they are economic migrants . I'm not blaming them for wanting to come here, but if they are not legitimately in danger in their present location then we would be retarded to allow them in. We have enough people of our own that need housing and jobs. This lifeboat is full.

I wish there could be more discussion about how understaffed everything has been since Covid It's a huge issue\nin my town and I have the impression it's pretty much everywhere.\nIt seems like we NEED people.....??? And how will Trump manage at Mar-a-lago where he FAMOUSLY hires undocumented\nimmigrants. I'm sure we won't hear anythng about that.\nHere we go...for a long ride downhill.

There's no way this is gonna work. They have been trying this before I was born, and I'm 48 years old. Funds? Temporary Housing? Medical care while being confined? Not enough ICE officers?? Who's gonna do the jobs that they were doing? Americans commit more crimes than these people and there are way less boarder crossings. Give it a break.

I'm native Mowhawk my people are furious, sorry beyond furious!

This guy is an idiot. The same policy with these immigrants, like the Haitians, the Trump administration also had them, but he had these knuckleheads believe and they was here illegal, and I'm talking Ohio, and no one is being put up in luxuries, hotels, a lot of veterans are sleeping under the bridge, and Most of the ones people on their birds are dealing with mental issues. I was dealing with you depression, I'm PTSD myself. He played another con game on america again

All the lies Trump told you and you believed him you will find out soon. Im seventy three years old and I'm still bewildered how stupid people are.

Trump may have won the 2024 election, will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2025 to become the 47th U.S. President, but Trump isn’t my president. Allow me to explain. There are certain attributes that define a U.S. president. A U.S. president places the citizens of this country ahead of his own personal interests. Trump doesn’t do that (hasn’t done that). Trump is self serving. On Jan ’21, Trump became an insurrectionist. Many citizens and police officers were injured and one police officers lost his life. According to the Constitution (the Supreme Court disagrees with me), Trump incited citizens to overthrown the certification of the 2020 election. Insurrection is one of the lowest acts any American can do, let alone a U.S. President. Trump states that the “insurrection” falls under immunity for “official acts”. Since when is “insurrection” an “official presidential duty”? Trump is a known Master Liar. This is beyond a moment when a president estimates, guesses and exaggerate numbers, figures and facts. Trump just lies – over 2k+ lies. Trump cannot be trusted in telling Americans the truth. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a lie flies out! Trump doesn’t appear to be able to help himself. One lie after another. Spreading the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” and not providing legal evidence is an unforgivable act that Americans should #NEVER forget. MAGA, selected GOP, Christian Nationalists don’t appear to be troubled that Trump cannot tell the truth. To me, the truth strengthens the bond of trust – I have NO Trust for Trump! MAGA, Christian Nationalists and some selected GOP – I may use big words that you don’t comprehend such as: Liar, Convicted Felon, sexual misconduct, Insurrection, Fraud, election interference, Unauthorized Possession of classified documents. These are some, not ALL, of the words that defines Trump and his actions. These things do NOT appear to cause any concerns with the 71.2m people who cast their vote in the Nov 5th ’24 presidential election. Trump had unauthorized possession of classified material. (I am not certain what Classified Material Trump possessed, but if these documents would put my friends, my family and I in harm’s way – it’s a problem.) Again, those who voted for Trump, the 71.2m people, #NEVER thought about this. If they had, Trump would #NEVER have received their vote. America has a short attention span. How quickly have we forgotten that Trump’s inaction of Covid-19 could have prevented many from becoming ill and millions losing their lives. (If one of your loved ones have passed due to Covid-19, you will remember Trump’s inability to deal and handle the situation. It is something you will #NEVER forget.) I will not write a book here, but the listed reasons above is why Trump may be the 47th President of the United States, but he isn’t my president. My president would have #NEVER done these things to an American.

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.

I'm proud of these people?

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!

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.

It's odd to think there are still people on Earth that are still hunter - gatherers, with no other human contact. What's more amazing is no one has stuck their noses in it m

These simple minded individuals are not doing research\n\nHad she did research before Trump took office the first time she would have come across a video of Trump saying it would be nice to have a Country with just Blonde hair and Blue eyes People living in it \n\nWhen the Interviewer asked where would that Country be he replied why not America\n\nThat would leave her out \n\nHad she done her research she would know that \nChina has taken over Mexico as having the most immigrants coming into America \n\nI'm not against Chinese they have a right to come here \n\nMexican's aren't the problem Trump put fear into the minds and hearts of the simple minded Americans \n\nThis Country was built on the backs of Immigrants

As a Mexican American woman I'm embarrassed of people like her..Que Verguenza gente racista con nuestra propia gente..Proud of all our hardworking immigrant people..

I still can't understand Hispanic people who support Trump. To him EVERYONE with an accent is an illegal that needs to go back where they came from. I'm from an area with an ass load of Puerto Ricans. And a nonzero number of them love Trump for some reason.

You should do more expert interviews, and less internet searches for your researches. When it comes to macro scale, the cost of things (or concentration) is at a scale that feels very off for normal people. Many numbers cited are just dumb...5 big banks are most of financial industry is absolutely normal globally (as far as banking goes). And thay is NOT the reason for anything. High wage, cost of money, regulatory cost is probably the reason. You can check their net profit / net margin to see if it in fact squeezes high interest on consumer or not. I'm pretty certain it won't be different from global mean.

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.

It’s been truly enriching to learn about your thoughts on Canada, your experiences, and the journey of your life—from childhood, youth, and up to the present day. You’re one of those inspiring people who generously share their experiences with others, and I’m grateful that you’re doing so. We’re all learning from one another through this exchange.\n\nPersonally, I love to travel and prefer learning through experience over reading books. Observing the world is my way of gaining knowledge. Your videos, journeys, and travel experiences have taught me so much. I extend my warmest wishes to you—life has no fixed destination; the journey itself is the most beautiful part, and it should always continue. With heartfelt good wishes, salaam!

Why do Indians prefer to live anywhere but India. If you think about it…it’s really sad. Imagine not wanting to live in or contribute to your own country. I’m referring to the talented immigrants. The Lawyers, Physicians, Politicians, Businessmen, Tradesmen and the like. Why not take what you’ve learned and put it into practice for the people of India instead of people in America/Canada/Pretty much everywhere in the world but India. It’s a damn shame because if anyone has seen videos of the true India, its landscape and geography…wow OMG! India is a stunningly beautiful countryside.

They just don’t know that he wants All of them gone! He’ll try to send blacks back to Africa if he could but we’re too deep. The blood of blacks, brown, and yes there were white slaves to who built this country from scratch. Mara log o may be sitting on top of a slave graveyard. Send him back to his European decent. And lady your so crazy wanting to send your own people back when Mexico sold America pieces of their land, so yeah I’m with you do it the right way but don’t downplay your culture for someone who doesn’t give 10 tihs’s about you whether you’re legal or not! ??‍♀️

Vieja. Bruja! What an ill soul, I hope karma finds her… I’m mighty grateful that I was one of the beneficiaries of the amnesty Immigration program in the 80’s , I wish that all those peoples in search for a better life have the same opportunity as myself!!

She wants to take this country back. She's an immigrant. This is not her country.??? This is the type of people we do not need in this country. When she came to this country she stood in line for her green card. Meaning she came here illegally and then applied for a green card. I'm not sure who she thinks she's fooling, other than herself
