If we don't control our borders and the people that enter a country, then what is the point of having borders? Why is it that only the US and Europe are criticized for wanting to control their borders? I know the answer, but I'm hoping to inspire others to ask the same questions.

The 11 Million figure way underestimates the true figure. 67 Million speak non-English in their home settings. I guarantee 11 Million is wrong. The percentage of foreign born is so high that there is no question it is way underestimated.

Your commentary is lopsided. You are creating content to earn money from YouTube. \nYou are asking questions to drug addicts, alcoholic Caucasian men. Crime is from drug addicts not students. You are daft.

The question is , how did they survive for 20/30 years not legal ? You see what the sistem did , use them , slave them , then dispouze them atfer that ....use and dispoze , slavery sistem (SSES) .....

And another thing she don't realize is. They don't just come to your house and say okay. You guys get together and get your stuff. We're gonna put you in a bus and take you back to the border. No, they violently arrest you like your criminal. And throw you in jail for months sometimes years at a time waiting to be deported. And if you think you'll all be deported at once, you got another thing coming. The man might go and jump. The woman might go in July. The kids might go separately next year. If you don't believe me. I saw it with my own eyes in 2019. I was locked up in Colorado. I watched them raid construction sites hospitals. Numerous other businesses arresting hard work in Mexican people. Imagine all the nurses and workers at hospitals that are from other countries. I watched them arresting nurses. Arresting tab drivers Uber drivers. I watched them raid schools and arrest children. I watched them put these poor people in jails with real criminals. All the immigrants loved me. I was actually in a federal and ICE facility. So I literally saw all of the immigrants. I protected them from the racist white people. I'm from Tampa Florida, so I'm used to the jails and prisons being majority, black guys. But in Colorado, it's white supremace, gangs and Mexican gangs. What's even more sickening? Is people from Washington would come in and take some of the Indians out. And when they came back, I would ask them questions and they said that the government people would get information on their family back in India and see if they could pay 50k to stay in America. It was sickening. I found out that what they were doing was deporting. Poor people and the people that have money back in their country. They have their families send money and let them stay. I saw it with my own eyes.

Hope she always carries her papers, with that accent ICE will send her back in a heartbeat. (If she runs across the wrong agent, even with valid documents, she can be scooped up because they “question” validity of her papers.)

How exactly do you expect me to fit in? I've spoken English and lived here since the age of 2. I celebrate Halloween and Christmas but not Pride Month, and I don’t eat Canadian food regularly. If fitting in means doing all those things, then I have questions. I thought living here meant I could eat whatever I want and celebrate the festivals I like, such as Eid or Diwali, without anyone interfering. As long as I’m not causing trouble—which I never do—why should anyone dictate how I live?\n\nBeing '100% Canadian' is impossible for me because I prefer staying true to myself. This has been my country for a long time, so telling me to 'go back' makes no sense.\n\nAlso, let’s not forget how Canada’s history involves forcing European traditions onto Indigenous people. In the end, aren’t we all dealing with the same issues? For example, I’m not coming here telling anyone to convert to my culture, eat my food, or join my festivals. I respect others’ choices, and I expect the same respect in return.\n\nAnd by the way, if anyone feels 'forced' by certain communities, like Khalistanis, maybe that’s something to take up with your government—they brought those people here, not us. those are the the one in no fly list that your gov decided to take in and give them citizenship and causing trouble and being violent

Canada should take care of their homeless people first before accepting refugees from the United States since Trump won the election where he will deport any illegal immigrants. My question is: How did these illegals obtain jobs? I’m sure Trump had illegals working for him. Does Trump realize that businesses will suffer when these people are deported because there won’t be anyone hired to do their jobs? Sending these people back to where they came from will cost the tax payers millions because Trump certainly won’t be paying for their fares.

“How do you think they’d feel…” how do you think WE feel should be the question. How do we feel about $500 billion being spent on illegals, how do we feel about crime and disease brought in with illegals, how do we feel about the apartment shortage because of 10 million extra people?

I wish I was interviewing him. I wouldn’t let him get away with skirting around the questions.

A better question for her would have been what does she think about Trump's policy as it concerns children born in this country.

Its a fun question to ask people “what does it mean to be canadian?”

1600 people that are willing to speak with you. Where do you find these people , the way you ask the question .......... I got to stop myself there is no point on venting here. I wish there was a way to keep ctv and the like of my feed

Canada is often perceived as a land of opportunity and comfort, but my personal experience told a different story. After living there for over a decade, I made the difficult decision to leave for several reasons, each of which compounded my struggles and ultimately led me to seek a better quality of life elsewhere.\n\nThe Incident That Sparked the Change\nIn 2017, I was attacked in Toronto, leaving me with a broken nose. It was a traumatic experience, but the frustration didn't end there. When I reached out to my doctor to fix the injury, I was placed on a waitlist. For years, I followed up, hoping for progress, but by 2023, I still hadn’t received a call for the surgery. Each time, I was told the same thing: a shortage of doctors meant they couldn’t help. This highlighted a stark reality of the Canadian healthcare system—while it is publicly funded, it is often overwhelmed, leaving people waiting for years for essential treatments.\n\nThe Harsh Reality of Living Costs\nLiving in Canada became increasingly unsustainable for my family and me. Despite working hard and earning less than $100,000 annually, the cost of living pushed us into a debt of over $70,000. The financial strain was immense, forcing us to sell our home just to clear the loan. Even with this sacrifice, our lifestyle remained stagnant. We hadn’t taken a vacation in ten years because there was simply no room in the budget. Owning a home or enjoying basic luxuries felt like an unattainable dream, and I realized that continuing in this cycle was not a viable option.\n\nChallenging Weather Conditions\nCanada’s harsh weather was another factor that wore us down over time. The long, freezing winters and short, unpredictable summers made it difficult to enjoy outdoor life or maintain a consistent routine. The mental toll of enduring such extreme weather year after year contributed to the decision to seek a more temperate and enjoyable environment.\n\nA Need for Change\nAfter ten years of struggle, it became clear that the current conditions in Canada were not conducive to a fulfilling life. The combination of healthcare delays, skyrocketing living costs, financial stress, and unforgiving weather made me question the sacrifices I was making. Life is short, and the realization that there are other places in the world with better systems and opportunities prompted me to take action.\n\nWhile Canada has its merits, it’s important for people to reassess their priorities and make decisions that align with their well-being. For me, leaving was a step toward reclaiming my life and creating a future where I could thrive, rather than just survive.

True story:\nMy sister-in-law is a Mexican citizen. A beautiful, kind and intelligent woman. She is college graduate with a productive career and is a home owner. She has been trying to get her visa to VISIT the United States since my 10 year old daughter was a baby. Her next appointment is in 2025. It can be a very long and tedious process.\nPeople make it sound so easy. “Just do it the right way!” They have no idea what they’re talking about.\nMy sister-in-law doesn’t even want to move here, she just wants to visit her nieces and nephews and they make her jump through so many hoops.\nAt her last appointment, she answered a question honestly when they asked why she wanted to visit the United States, she said, “to visit my family.”\nThe interviewer told her, “ok, that is fine, but do NOT ever mention this again in any other interview. Say that you want to go to Disneyland or the malls or something. Do not let them know that you have family there, or they will think that you will try to stay!”\nThey have a script that you need to follow. They’re not looking for honesty.

Take America back? Begs the question, from who? People on the political left are American too. Nobody, and especially MAGAts, have the right to take my home and country from me. You can see just by the language these folks use just how deluded and selfish they are.

Horrible question ...great answer

That Maga will throw family under the bus is no surprise. My question is how do the men of Maga look forward to their precious porn being illegal?

It's absolutely imposible. It would destroy the economy.. Who Will replace so many workers with better salaries? Not to talk about the international image of the country and the humanitarian questions...

Trump is going to overdo it. BUT: CNN did not press their journalistic ability to question and pressure Biden, and the Democrats to enact common sense protocols at the border. So we swing to the extreme left right left right left, right.

he never answered the question where is is getting the replacement workers? black people wont go into the fields and pick nothing!

You should be ashamed of working for cnn all your question is like you want to hear if they will deport children as soon someone makes a mistake paff you jump on it. Shameful media.

Yet, there are Latinos with questionable legal status that voted for Trump think that only criminals will be deported???

He quickly said the American people instead of answering the question

She might be standing on a line again, alongside those angry family members..that will be a sad day, of course. This political campaign has divided.. The question is, will it conquer?

He didnt ? answer any question. U wont finish the stupid wall in 4 years and u wont kick all immigrants from each state in 4 years. Wat u will cause is people of all states against gov in which people will win it!!!! Trump focus in whats most important not stupid things like wall etc. u will fail again trust me u will fail againnnnnnnnnnnnnnn??????

Jim Banks didn’t answer any of her questions or address any concerns “a mandate is a mandate.” ?‍♀️

This dude is not smart, he blind, mandate is mandate?. No, stupid, all big scale action has balance disruption of the system.. Of course, deport criminal is priority, they are prejudice to economy and well being of society. Take immigrants that work in farmer for example, and other fields that supply necessity to population. How farmers will deliver products if they dont have workers? How the business will survive? How will people that need good have them? Farmers will get nuts, nobody to harvest their products, who will do the job? Oh! Get all those brainless senators for work in sectors of emergency. IT will affect the common people that need basic goods. The business people will lose income because their products will perish before consumers can have them. They need hire other people that will impose different price in services, for high demand, cant enforce to pay. In some point they have fill up for bankrupt. Population will be lack of basic. Anybody of common sense, analyze all that effect. No one those senators are able to answers the questions she put for them. ( They just said stupid words, We won majority , people voted in us) but morons, you will make a mess, in months all medeo/small business owners would stand up) Just imagine that.

Was it just me, or did he not answer one single question??

Question from Minorities that are U.S. Citizens born here…..are law enforcement officials going to be able to profile us because we are of Hispanic ethnic group? Will we be stopped because of driving while brown or will they have to have a justifiable reason? Will white looking individuals also be scrutinized as there are some who are also here illegally?

If Trumps a wannabe dictator why didn't he support unconstitutional vaccine mandates and supports gun ownership? Also why wasn't he supported by warmongers like liz Cheney/bush as well??? None of you demorats can answer my question ?

Hi Dana, where were these questions during the campaigns?

All of these people that are trashing this seemingly inarticulate woman for putting herself and her family first are a bunch of HYPOCRITES! I can honestly tell you that I have spent the majority of my 47 years of life helping people, doing favors for people, helping the homeless, feeding and rescuing stray dogs, lending money I didn’t have, an in essence helping my fellow neighbor. It is in my nature to think of others before myself, but guess what? Guess where that got me? No favors returned, the money is never paid back, when I needed a favor, no one was available, and when I rescued the dog, no one can help me find a home. so I think the lesson here is help yourself as in the flight attendants say before you can help your fellow neighbor if you don’t believe me question yourself how many people have you helped in your life returned the favor? SLIM TO NONE. if you don’t believe me, go ahead and ask people around you to help you pay your rent next month and see the turnout you get. This is your responsibility. Nobody is going to come save you

this girl bash or what keep asking every republican dumb question

That has to be the mkst stupid question ever...\n\nHow does it work..!!..\n\n\nHow did Obama do it..?\n\nCNN is as dumb as ever..!!...

One simple question: deport them to where? And how?

So i got a question lets say a family is waiting for court case will they be deported even if they came in through biden?

Dana, I have a question. Is this deportation just for the brown and black people, or are the Republicans including the white people that come here? Asking for a friend.

I have questions maybe some of you could answer 1. How is he going to locate these people? is it stopping people in the street? Is it going to be a national tip line? Is it door knocking? Is busting doors? 2. What organization is he going to use? Ice? Police? Military? National guard? All of the above? 3. Are they going to be issued a u must leave notice or arrested in handcuffs? 4. Which country are you going to send them to? Mexico? Their original country? 5. If it’s their original country are you gonna fly them there? On a boat? 6. If these illegals have family member who are legal is he gonna deport the whole family or just the illegal? Is he gonna separate legal children from illegal parents? Or illegal children from legal parents? 7. What is going to qualify as proof of citizenship or here legally ? Birth certificate, passport? Social security number? Green card? (Because we know he doesn’t trust birth certificates ?) if you believe in deportation or not these are the questions you should be asking

Taking our country back\n?\n\nA Mexican/ American \nDay's take our country back ?\nAnd just one other question \nWho in the hell got this country ???\nWho got it?!?

If a felon can become president take the question off of all job applications.

Everyone says we need a stop to qll immigration, my question is why is our government not doing what the people they work for want? The insanity of even suggesting that any immigration is ok when rent is like 2k a month for a small one bedroom apartment is something else.

My question is what about the people who came thru asylum from Mexico and their cases are in process are they going back too?

Question how did Trump knew he was going to win this does not sound right?

These journalist keep asking question. Of course if you marry legal immigrants the spouse will become legal too.

Don’t they get it, the message is clear she keeps on repeating the same question and the guest should have emphasized that doing things illegally have consequences and should not be encouraged.

Haha, Dana is slipping she was trying to come up with a binary question and stuttered. They say if you say something long enough that's BS you start to believe it, but the Trump win has her questioning

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

The real question is: How badly will Trump F up the economy this time?!?!

That's rich, coming from someone who has questions to answer over the Cold-Blooded Murder of a Saudi Journalist within the grounds of the Saudi Embassy in Turkey !
