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 ??

These immigrants have drained our economy with all the free money cards they were given the free housing clothing phones etc… \nGo back , want to come back … great get vettted be prepared to work hard and no freebies !!! Not. One. Dime. Oh and learn the language . All these things my grandparents and aunts did . They all\nBuilt a good life and contributed to our country

Once you move inside America, you want American politicians to care about people inside America rather than people outside America. The politician's first duty is towards his/her citizens. You cannot have homeless Americans while illegal immigrants are being put up in hotels. \nThe real question is, does the USA need more unskilled people, whose primary contribution is manual labor? More and more jobs are going to be lost to AI/Robotics. Think of the scenario where you will have vast swathes of the population unemployed or underemployed. Is that desirable? Think of the chaos that will cause. More doctors and scientists are always welcome to immigrate anytime, and such folks all do so legally. \nThere are enough people already in America to do what needs to be done. We need to first build infrastructure using existing citizens to enable the next wave of immigrants (several years later) to move here. You just cannot have more and more people put more pressure on an already crumbling and ageing infrastructure, driving up rents for low-income Americans.

Jesus Christ this is ridiculous. American food producers and farmers will have to pay an American citizen twice as much to do the same job an immigrant was doing. Their labor costs will skyrocket. Who is going to pay the difference? Not Trump. \n\nYou wanted affordable groceries. You morons went and voted for the exact opposite.

I'm so tired of hearing you have a mandate. Half the country disagrees. Ignoring them will put you on the receiving end of the feeling when voters wake up and realize what every economist has said ‐ his plans will cause inflation and cripple the economy. \nBusinesses are already closing because we can't find Americans who want to work. So let's take away more workers.\nAnd how anyone can talk about immigration issues with a straight face when trump was the one who called to kill the bill and all the Republicans bowed down to their god. No respect for any of them.

I don't think immigration will be a problem for much longer. Who wants to go to a country where racism is the norm and encouraged by the leaders. The place is turning into a cesspool. Very sad.

Good. Even the immigrants who came here LEGALLY want this to happen. I imagine they feel cheated by the system as much as everyone else does. Is CNN ever going to shape up?

I'm an immigrant, and here is my opinion: If something is illegal, then it should be prevented and fixed. If someone breaks the law, there must be consequences. If you don't like it and you want undocumented or illegal immigrants for any reason like economy or humanity, then change the law. But the law should always be abided by and enforced. You make a legal procedure and admit immigrants based on the needs of the country and the applicants' merits. And of course, some percentage for the refugees whose life is in danger.

Why are democratic governors and mayors trying to keep illegal immigrants, who have committed violent crimes against American women ,children and men from being deported? Why do they want these people to stay and continue to commit crimes against American citizens? Why continue to destroy America?

Trump won because us democrats not strong on immigration even latinos want open borders stopped, want a man leader (Newson would have won damn it), there is backlash against woke culture anti-man sentiment, looks at movies losses because of girl bosses, Democrats could have said DNA testing is supported to help with right to life. Democrats must vote not preselect there condidate. eg unfortunately Scaramuchi said point about anti-woke he's right its mens respect issue.

Same People who live in Gated Communities, and who do not Allow poor people to Live in their Big Homes Permanently, are the Same People who want to Flood Poor communities around America with Immigrants from Third world Countries.\nTheir Logic Borders Only for Us who Live in Gated Communities, and for everybody else specially you peasants you have to live with Third world Immigrants and enjoy Diversity.

How can it be controversial to want to get rid of illegal immigrants? People who literally broke the law coming here??? If Americans break the law we go to jail and can’t work and are a cost in the average tax payer by being in jail but they got no issue locking us up. But how dare we expect the same standard is held to NON citizens in this country.

I see many of you are still struggling to understand how Trump won. It’s many fold, but I can some it up rather concisely.\n\nYour entire mantra was “Vote for us so we can have our way and do what I want or democracy dies”\n\nWhich is so ironic that the thing you think will happen is what that statement represents. \n\nAdd on that, you attacked your political opponent for 8 years with lies, rhetoric (which included degrading remarks about the general populace) and a weak economy and weak foreign policy with a severe influx of illegal immigration. \n\nYou did this to yourselves

We the people did NOT send a mandate to remove undocumented immigrants.\nFACTS MATTER\nExit polling shows that:\n55% wanted undocumented immigrants to have a path to citizenship\n36% want all undocumented immigrants removed immediately\nDONT TELL US WHAT WE SAID\nEven more to the point there are at least 335m Americans\n1/5 of them were able to and voted for trump, 1/5 of them voted for Harris, and 1/5 did not vote. The other 2/5th weren't eligible to vote\nIf you want to talk about a MANDATE tell us why trump got 2% fewer votes than he did in 2020\n20% of Americans do not a MORAL mandate form

What happened to pro business not when it comes to immigrants.\n\nGet rid of shareholder profit as #1 priority or convert immigrants into citizens if you don't want businesses doing it.

Will that include Europeans who came in with a visa and now they stayed illegally????? If you will deport illegal immigrants, then send them to their countries. Why do you want to send them to México???????

People are gonna need clarification on the deportation of illegal Immigrants. Because she asked him specifically if legal immigrants will be included and he purposely did not answer. They want to revoke birthright citizenship. what's does this mean in very specific terms? you will deport anyone who was born in US to a country they never lived in before ? make it make sense!

Crops will rot in the field prices will rise inflation will skyrocket deficits will outpace GDP. I understand deporting criminals but why deport farm workers and service industry employees who have been here peacefully for many years. They are doing the jobs that many Americans do not want to do.\nIf you don’t understand that then you are not thinking about what is best for the country and hard working immigrants.

The reality is that these immigrants, illegal or not, do work that many others don’t want to do. There could be a solution to make them permanent citizens, but to just deport them will have massive consequences that will impact everywhere, Trump voters too. Remember that when the prices go up and some things aren’t available

Well, it’s obvious Dana Bash wants to keep illegal immigrants here in the country. Thanks CNN!

So in Florida, Palm Beach county where I live, only immigrants work agriculture, landscaping, construction that no one else wants to do. These immigrants are the wheels of the economy. Even Trump has immigrants in Maralago doing his landscaping and housekeeping. Cheap labor for him but if you ask him he claims the 5th.

cnn listen !!! you are focusing to illegal immigrants who killings American. not to a person wants to protect Americans. !!!;

If you really want more immigrants, make it easier to become a legal immigrant, but don't allow unvetted illegal immigration

They want the money that they spent in immigration spent in USA but when you asked for something is socialism

Murderer from Colombia Released Into U.S. by ICE After Crossing Border Illegally \nMay 22, 2024 \n \nThe recent arrest of Efrain Vidales Vargas, a convicted murderer from Colombia, is another example of the perilous consequences of the Biden administration’s failure to secure our borders. \n \nVargas, who entered the U.S. illegally near Yuma, Arizona, in November 2023, was initially detained but subsequently released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). \n \nVargas is wanted in Colombia on charges of aggravated homicide, aggravated theft and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was convicted and sentenced to 17 years in prison on September 29, 2016. \n \nICE knew about Vargas’ murder conviction in Colombia and extensive criminal history. An ICE officer on December 11, 2023, even noted his conviction in Columbia, but two days later, he was released with a notice to appear and allowed to roam freely in the United States. This was apparently due to a “national bed space shortage caused by the Southwest border surge.” \n \nThis incident is a glaring example of how the current administration’s open-border policies jeopardize the safety of Americans and undermine the rule of law.\nSOURCE, FAIR US org

This Democratic administration let millions of immigrants into the US, they created the mess, now they don’t want to clean it up.

Anytime something happens they want to blame immigrants. it happened in the great depression, we were blamed for taking jobs and they deported many mexican Americans that had to be later repatriated same crap again immigrants being blamed for stuff and again mass deportation, I want to see white children working the fields and the service jobs

These so called immigrants have NO idea how their decision will effect OTHER Latinos in America. They don’t see the bigger picture. \nAnd Trump in the White House will hit the finances. Just wait and see. Their taxes will go up. Gas will go up. Want to come which will NOT e good for ALL Americans. Time will tell people. Remember history DOES repeat itself.

NO PRICE TAG TO RETURN THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN!!!! \nIT’s One Millions time BETTER THAN NO PRICE TAG TO TAKE CARE THEM ALL FOR YEARS AND YEARS!!!!!??‍♀️\n( So No free Medicare, Housing, No special help $$$ with housing, Schools with free lunch and free breakfast, legals fees, transportations, and many more. Our taxes are not for that, instead the benefits should go back to the taxpayers who are entitled to receive them!!! )\n\nGoing back and Complete all the paperwork, come here legally and don't be a criminal from day one with come here illegally. \nAustralia has a special visa for farm workers from 18-35, come legally, registered and checked with a clean record, really want to work, and not be a parasite here!??\n\nAs US citizens, that's what we want!\nRespect and obey the rules, no special reasons and special treatment!\n\nJUST COMMON SENSE!???

Yet he made it difficult to get citizenship for those who want it…but will deport them even while waiting for an approval. We have criminals here too. Stop using ‘immigration’ as a political stunt…these are innocent people. United States is built on immigration!\n\nWhy not help those countries who are suffering?, god knows we have a lot of money. Yet we will only help when they are in their own country, but be degraded if coming to the US!

That bill from the 1700's Trump wants to pass targets legal immigrants as well

So this mass deporation will cost $100 bil to achieve (some estimates put it at over $300 bil) and those immigrants pay approx. $100 bil in taxes (including paying into SS, which they can't use) and many of them do menial jobs for low wages that citizens do not want to do (unless you pay them more, which raises prices)... combine this with potential tariffs and this sounds like a foolproof plan for a recession with stagflation. I want to say Trump voters can FAFO, but unfortunately they are going to bring everyone down with them

Also, Canada never had job opportunities.. canadian public colleges just collide with indian immigration agents (who gets commission ₹1.5 lakhs for every single student visa they send to canada) by showing you false hopes and dreams and fake job opportunities If they have any few job opportunities that is for labour jobs, that’s it. They wanted modern day slaves \nThis is all a scam!

It is quite crazy to see that immigrants themselves don't want to see other immigrants coming into the country to have a better life they once enjoyed when they came! What a hell is going on with people?

I just want to say the immigration didn’t start with Trudeau, I came to Canada when Steven Harper was in power , I went to lived in a neighborhood were the entire building was full with Colombians, the same with other buildings . I have to move out cause I felt that I was living in South America .

If this is what “they” wanted you’re claiming that illegal immigrant’s chose this. Therefore they voted for trump?\n\nOf course trump voters want mass deportation of illegal immigrants. Your first act in this country cannot be breaking its laws I’m sorry try again.

unbelievable!!! The man is a convicted felon, who said out his own mouth. He was gonna overthrow the government. It’s already been 500 years man. They still haven’t given the people who built this country anything what makes you think they’re gonna give you anything now! Unbelievable! Only in America!!!? wow!!!!!!!’ oh by the way, are you Trump people who want jobs that are already here you’re just not looking for the people that you’re trying to replace just keep one thing in mind when you replace those people pretty soon you’re worn out they’re gonna be replacing you too with another immigrant who wants your lifestyle and what you have they don’t want to give the people who are native here born here live here because they don’t want it. The land already belong to the natives and they took it and you wanna migrate over here and think you’re getting something better.

She is so naive. He's not stopping at illegal immigrants, he wants all non white people gone. She will find out.

Trump wants to end the present practice of bringing one's family to the USA. The Cuban woman with the MAGA hat doesn't give a shit about other people as long as she is ok. These are truly ignorant immigrants.

Can you imagine how much it’s going to cost and the fact that he’s going to get rid of so much of the labor force, the jobs that Americans don’t want to do. I don’t think he’s taken that into account about what’s going to happen? His hatred for immigrants does not have him thinking clearly.

Give money to immigrants,where I wanted..\nSo are blind..Are idiots

Trudeau won’t stop this invasion we the Canadians that didn’t want mass immigration or asylum en mass because of Trudeaus insanity will be in greater danger from these invaders

SO CANADA WILL BE TAKING IN ALL THESE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THE USA???!!!! HEY LIBERAL MPS ELECTION RIGHT NOW!!! PROVE YOU WANT TO MAKE CANADA BETTER, VOTE OF NON-CONFIDENCE IS A MUST!!

If this is not controlled, as in, not allowing them in because we have no room, it's because Trudeau wants it to happen. The ones here already get more money a month in assistance than a Canadian who has paid taxes all their lives... and that right there should make you livid with the Liberals... how many homeless immigrants do we see in the thousands of encampments in Canada ??? If they come in Roxham Rd. put a legit facility there to turn them away instead of RCMP carrying their belongings into Canada..... SORRY >>>> NO VACANCIES

We don’t want them! Theres major problems here with immigration. Canadians are fed up with this immigration incompetence the liberals have created. Canadians come first not immigrants.

It’s funny that she says “ take our country back” when the majority of white people don’t want her here whether she’s here legally or not l. they don’t like the color of her skin, her accent, nothing. If she got into an argument with some white guy at the local gas station, he would yell at her to go back to her country.. He would not care if she had papers or not. This is about racism, not immigration. DUH.

Yeah and yet they are about to be deported too and probably sent to Mexico because now the cops will get a greenlight to act as immigration agents and as always treat immigrants as animals, no documents to show, maybe show a fkn Star to represent citizenship or always have to carry your naturalization documents, or passpoets, but regardless even if you had them...they will still carry theirasses to Mexico. Because his idea is to rid of any non-white or anyone with none white sounding names. Chaos will ensue and their idea of family separation will be even crazier since they will end up separating real US citizens from their children and ship them out to another unknown to them country. Meanwhile their kids sent to either juvenile jails or adoption to possible child abusers or molesters or pedephiles....yay.....that is what you wanted...

I am sick to death of media cherry picking facts they want to share. Oh poor immigrants. I am sorry, if this harsh but America can't fix the world and we aren't responsible for those from other countries. It really annoys me that all we hear is poor immigrants and immigrants rights. Sice Biden has taken office the housing crisis has gotten out of the control. Why? Simple math, you move in billions of people, equal population what you already have, but can't increase housing, they have to go somewhere. With the government helping migraints, more is going to them than our own. What is happening is they are pushing out people in migraint held cities and displacing existing residents. So those disbled , elderly, veterans and drug addicted people who are being displaced are being forced to smaller communities that don't have the infrastructure in place to cope with so many displaced people. Then you end up with a huge issue of Homeless people trying to live in Tents in the middle of winter. j You have a vast number of elderly women taking to van life because they can't afford to live any other way. Would you like to your Grandma living in Van, constantly on the go? YOu are being UNAmerican in your news reporting, when you fail to give fair reporting and do equal amount of investigating into who this actually affects amount the American people. Far as I am concerned you need to be shut down, because you are enemy of the US.

So let’s see immigrants walk into our country illegally not following the law of our land, Joe Biden and Camila Harris allow them to do it. They bus them to different cities to out the United States dump 30,000 at a time humans dump them in the small communities and the communities are suffering horribly And now the next president is going to come in put them all back on the bus and put them back over the border where they came from and somehow that’s a bad thing so it is a good thing breaking the law and it’s a bad thing in forcing the law I think you guys are really mixed up as to what you want for this country lawless or we’re all held accountable and have to operate under one set of rules except when you don’t like the rules, then we have to change the rules so that you don’t get sad and cry Sorry breaking the laws breaking the law and I think the Biden family is going to find that out because you guys have been hiding some really big secrets from your viewers did your viewers know that Biden was being impeached? Yep he is and it’s been going on now for three years so they have a pretty strong case you know with receipts meaning they have the evidence, not accusations not hearsay not basement hearing it was all open in public. If you want to you can actually go online and listen to the evidence America for yourself because this new station didn’t tell you about it it’s pretty good.
