Definition of Maquiladora: A maquiladora is a manufacturing operation or factory in Mexico, typically located near the U.S.-Mexico border, that assembles goods for export, primarily to the United States. These facilities take advantage of lower labor costs in Mexico and benefit from duty-free or reduced tariffs under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), now succeeded by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Companies often send raw materials or components to these factories, where they are assembled into finished products, which are then exported back to the U.S. or elsewhere.\n\nThe maquiladora program was established to boost employment, attract foreign investment, and promote economic development in Mexico, especially in border regions.

Trump doesn't realize when you put tariffs on other countries they raise their prices which in turn affects the consumer price which is the citizens of this country because we have to pay more for the products we buy????

Is trump going to cause his new crush Elonia some grief ,he has a big factory and building a new factory for the batteries his car use in china. Musk get along of products from china ,,,wonder what trump does

Bravo to the Mexico's President. Canada's Prime Minister made similar statements. Plus he said Canada is concerned about the large number of illegal guns entering from the USA. He also said they would impose tariffs on the goods coming into Canada from the USA. Note Canada exports the following to the USA so imagine how a 25% tariff would increase the price of: Canada's main exports to the United States are:\n- Mineral fuels, oils, and distillation products: In 2023, this was the top export, valued at $128.51 billion\n-Vehicles other than railway, tramway: In 2023, this was valued at $58.21 billion\n-Machinery, nuclear reactors, and boilers: In 2023, this was valued at $33.75 billion \n- Other exports from Canada to the United States include: Baked goods, Canola oil, Beef and pork, Chocolate, and Frozen fries and other prepared potatoes

Ok for those who don’t understand how tariffs work thats tax for American companies to import goods here ok and the other countries sale their products at the whatever cost they set, once Americans pay the tax tariffs then Americans companies increase their cost to recover ad make up their loss costing Americans higher prices. And for the idiots that think manufacturing companies would come back,they will not bc other countries good are going to still be cheaper and would not like to pay additional taxes or have their business growth collapse

Trump acts like we make SOOOOO much here in the US that we can function alone. FALSE! We make damn near NOTHING here. We rely too heavily on other countries in every aspect of our lives; food, clothing/footwear, shelter/building construction material, automotive even down to hygiene products . These countries think he is a fool! Hike up tariffs for them and they will just take it out on us. Tariff is NOT going to control immigration. NO 1 president has ever 100% combated immigration. YES we need a tough stance on immigration & it will result in some casualties, let's be honest. However the way he is talking, he will screw his own people. I can't believe nobody on this team explains this to him.

Trump is a moron. He says things without any proof or facts or details. How is China ripping us off? We use them for cheap high tech labor to make our products and then American businesses profit off of them by selling the products to the u.s consumers for a huge profit. And even then we still pay a very reasonable price compared to if the product was made in the USA.

Buy your Tesla's. The rest of the world will enjoy the lower priced, better build and more economical Chinese products.

Mexico has NOT helped a lot. You live in a fantasy. The reality is everyone knows that the cartels run that country. Trump is right and we'll see how Mexico do when American's start boycotting Mexico products. They need us more than we need them. America First!

So why is being productive and being a good student make you an arrogant offensive person? Can't you be highly intelligent and get along with people? The whole idea is driven by pure envy and that's all there is to it. Shame on the whole bunch of them. If this is what Canada is about, don't go there.

I mean welcoming 180k PR from one country alone didn't help, and like half of temporary residents from one country, essentially low productivity labor too which killed the entire immigration system. Not only that it increased racism.

If you come here, don’t break the law, work and pay taxes like everyone else. Be a productive member of a society. Do it the right way.

Can’t just accept unqualified immigrants and refugees. Look at the gap in productivity per capita between US and Canada. Last decade, we’ve been going down the hill.

Excellent production value. I really felt the ending of this video mid-sentence added to the urgency of the news being delivered.

It feels so foolish to keep trying bandaid solutions that harm the US labor pool. There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in regards to this. \n\n1. Most developed countries on earth are in the midst of or are preparing to deal with population crisis and depopulation. Strong immigration to the US stems this issue and is actually a huge advantage to the power and continuing visibility of the USA.\n\n2. Deportation and border control strike at the effect of immigration and leave the cause unharmed. People come to the USA because there's opportunities here, so why not make opportunities abroad?\n\nIf the USA were to remove benefits of dealing with china while offering massive incentives for moving manufacturing away from china directly to Latin America, not only would we be countering our Chinese dependency but we would also provide jobs at home and stem immigration. Not only that, but the businesses would be American and be controlled by Americans - a huge incentive to stay friendly to the USA.\n\nI don't know, just seems like our current policy and especially what Trump is suggesting are counter productive and stuck in a bygone way of thinking.

The land in the region belongs to the Hebrews, that is true, but who are the Hebrews? It was promised by God to the descendants of Abraham and Sarah and philistinism is what we call Iran all the way to Anatolia, in fact it is more similar.\nHowever, just like David's victory over the leader of the Philistines Goliath, philistinism today the Palestinians received a new king and were grouped in the region and remain there to this day.\nA war is a war and can, without a doubt, bring traumatic experiences, especially when civilians feel helpless in the middle of a war...\n\nWe cannot blame the consequences of a war zone when the name itself represents a challenging situation, so the most important thing is to first remove all the civilians left behind so that the fight against terrorism can be completed.\nExtremely irresponsible and the real crime is leaving innocent people in the middle of a war zone to be killed? No, we don't do that and neither does the Arab world, we are all human. If war is necessary, a war to end terror, or surprise attacks on Abraham's descendants, or hatred of members of the Abrahamic family, that is what we will do. We do not want terrorist attacks against Philistinism, Jews, Arabs or Christians either and we do not want to support any affiliation that wants to destroy, harm or denigrate our Abrahamic people on this planet.\n\n\nInstead of trying to bring assistance in the midst of a fight against humanity and the safety of the Abrahamic communities, we should remove them all, the innocent civilians, before we look to the next step or phase of a war, so that the fight cannot harm innocent lives. left behind, so getting people out of a war zone is our duty and responsibility in a war zone and at this time civilians have no choice but to wait for a safe place outside the region of deadly combat so that the Arabs and combing with the Jews can destroy the terror against the Abrahamic people, so if the enemy is still alive, we can only accept mercy. After the elimination of hatred and violence against humanity that was the reason for the start of the war on October 7, 2023 and several calls for the evacuation of civilians before the start of the war, everything that happens or has happened or is happening in Gaza It is justified as being a consequence of a war. A war that didn't start for nothing or out of nowhere or for no reason and the Jews are still waiting to have their families back in October 2023\nmainly that Israel is a region that does not exactly represent what the House of Judah is at the moment, it is not a land for the Jews, but rather a land named after one of the sons of Isaac, but like any other country it is giving rights in the region so that they are children who are born there or immigrate to the region, but it is not necessary for them to be Abrahamic. The State of Israel is just one part of the land promised to the dynasty of Isaac, the creation of a State is a great start to remind us of the importance of remembering that God promised the descendants of Sarah and Abraham a land between two rivers. The boundaries of the Promised Land run from the River of Egypt (Nile) to the Euphrates, so it is more complex than we can understand, especially since the region was also inhabited by pagan nations hundreds of years after Abraham, as well as by Arabs and Jews It can be a complex subject to explain. Those who cannot accept the blessing that God gave to the Hebrews may be serving their faith with a spirituality that is not the faith of the Hebrews or the Abrahamic religion.\n\nThe region has been inhabited for hundreds of years, but\nCanaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, but they are not the DNA of Abraham's descendants, they are ancient and came from the time of Noah. God promised that the land would be Abraham's land and his descendants would possess it. Knowing that it is complex to determine the timetable for the reestablishment of the real situation, first for what is the kingdom of Judah and we also want to preserve alive the state of Israel as the capital property of the Kingdom of Judah which lies between the Nile and the Euphrates.\n\nTherefore, the preservation of the Jews and the fight against discrimination and terrorism and surprise attacks on civilians are essential, especially since they host Abramham's DNA. The focus at this time is to protect the integrity of all Abrahamic people, which includes Arabs, Jews and Christians, and to not just stop but exterminate hatred against people and learn how to respect each other first.\n\nIt is essential that, after the mission of eliminating any possibility of discrimination or attacks against Arabs, Jews and Christians, we create a state country for the Palestinians who, since the loss of the battle of Goliath, have had to be under the House of David and our duty is to guarantee the integrity of their needs, their future and also the lineage of the barbarian warriors of the region and so all Palestinians across the planet will have to return and must return to the State and not for long will they be able to try a new colony in other regions of the planet, otherwise the punishment will be applied because they will have their own land and if they decide not to return or return they will never be able to return to the new Palestine which will be land donated for the formation of their own country, the individuals who choose to abandon the Palestinian homeland will have to abolish the word itself, they will not be able to be called Palestinians or identify themselves as such in any society other than their own. Otherwise, the new Palestine will have to embrace a new identity, culture and habits of a civilized world that refers to humans as human beings and cannot express hatred against others because of their genetic identity, or just because we have different opinions, That is why they must remain in their own territory, New Palestinian Land and not allow themselves to live in another land only in isolation in New Palestine. \n\n\nThe land of New Palestine will be a one-size-fits-all piece of land, not in multiple locations or in different locations. It will be a region that will have a wall of 4 meters around it. The wall will be built and the border and isolation border for the country and will give them the piece of independence they need and not let others tell them what to do and so they will be isolated from the rest of the planet because they deserve to own their barbarian identity of primitive warriors and protect their warrior genetic dignity and maintain their own values, common in the new Palestine, but they are no longer welcome in civilization outside their region, only if they decide to erase their historical connection with the concept Palestinian or identify as a Palestinian.\n\nI believe that Sir Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud was sent to look after the needs of the family in Palestine and just fight for their integrity and safety and to preserve them together, safe and united in New Palestine, only thanks to Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and he must be the guardian of the descendants of the Hittites in the region, with the Arab world being the only community to associate and interact with.\n\nNew Palestine must be a land with its own unique sovereignty and whether the region is right, probably the entire West Bank and Gaza will no longer exist as an inhabitant community and will be transformed into a demilitarized zone that will be rebuilt as an industrial complex as an evacuation port for production for import and export of products that use the maritime route as well, however a percentage of all commercial transactions produced will be reallocated to a credit portfolio where all Plaestine will benefit and receive a monthly financial resource for the maritime activities that are taking place in Gaza and in the demilitarized region where there is no same region, you cannot live there, you just work. Until everything is in place, we need to protect the integrity of the human beings who were left behind in Gaza to face a tragic moment in a war against terror and seek to understand how difficult it can be for someone to leave their region and have to leave their homes to keep their lives alive, this also happened to many Jews in Europe during World War II. The most important thing to highlight is the crime of leaving innocent people in the middle of war, that is a war crime, the crime was leaving innocent people in the middle of war and leaving them there to die or to face a war zone, therefore, We must remove all civilians in that region to a safe place in the region, otherwise they will end up being victims of the war itself.\n\nThose who want to continue to face the war in Gaza will be responsible for their own lives and will not have the right to complain if they are willing to die or risk dying in the war in Gaza, the place that has been at war for over a year .\nIf a crime has to be investigated first, it is irresponsible action on the part of the local Palestinian administration to leave people vulnerable in the middle of a war zone and this is the biggest war crime. Therefore, we are looking forward to the returning of the hostages and the stop of chasing the Jews.\n\nThank you \nFaisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud

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.

Nothing wrong with keeping your traditions, as long as you don't try to force them on anyone else. Muslims can't eat pork, I don't care. But when you have groups in the UK advocating that pork products be banned from office, you have taken it too far.

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.

I've been replaced 4 times by foreigners. I worked at Amazon and the entire huge warehouse of hundreds of people was only East Indians with only me and 3 other white people. I worked at Ballard and the entire production floor could not speak English at a elementary school level and was replaced by a guy from Iran who had never been to Canada and was in the country for 1 month. All the shift mangers were from Iran and my section was only Iranians, East Indians and Chinese. I was the top production worker by far doing the work of 4 other workers proven by the actual numbers in an attempt to keep my job but still got removed of course to make way for more Iranians because it was obviously a way to bring their people here. Zero locals were in the entire production floor. I can not have the dignity to own my own home and never will be able to even though I grew up here went to collage and university and worked hard. Rent is beyond insane and they raise it the maximum legal amount every year which is huge. All my life I had to bow down to foreigners. The locals have lost their homes and can not buy another house or could never buy one and never will be able to. All are slaves to foreigners who think they are superior and treat them like garbage. The foreigners get help from the government somehow and get loans they never should be able to get because they have crooked contacts in the Chinese owned financial institutions. They then build 5 to 10 unbelievably horrible illegal suites and that is where most of the locals now have to live in. The neighbourhoods went from a very low population of Chinese and East Indians to insanely high levels such as 98 percent. There is no sense in complaining to any government body because the Chinese and East Indians have infiltrated those key positions and always side with their own kind. The legacy news/media is fully aware but are owned by foreigners and never will talk about these issues. Canada has for sure been invaded and taken over and is lost. No one is bringing it to light and worst is no one is trying to fight it. Any attempts you are labeled as a horrible racist.

It will never be a doable thing to remove the productive residents for a non productive interest. We don’t eat money or technology to live. We don’t manufacture enough weapons and high tech to trade for food and supplies. It’s not how the world works. Trump is all talk and will get no where but add another 8 trillion into America’s debt. 4yrs is just a brief passing by moment. A country is not a company. We do have 47% citizens with democracy at hearts. All will be fine!

Illegals will be here with Trump without Trump with Kamala or without Kamala the backbone of America is going to be in trouble but so will America with production !!!!! ?

Mr. Rou is a product of extreme blessings from his loved ones, an action taker with faith n expected the outcomes to work out for him, and an indefeasible Go getter spirit n soul.\nThis is called living the life in a fast lane. Everyone should live their lives to the fullest like him..

Put real pressure on all the employers in dairy production and all the farm employers as well as meat production employers, they have almost 100 percent of illegal workers. Please do. they are millions \nAnd don’t forget landscaping employers. Those jobs will very easily replaced.

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.

Energy production is at an all time high, facts still matter.

Mexican American veteran here. If my family members did the crime, and they get caught, then they got to do the time! \nThis old lady thinks like a productive citizen of the United States, not like a criminal immigrant with a victim mentality❤

In response to the judging of immigrants. Interesting how we rarely see immigrants on our street corners asking for a handout. Instead they're at work making just barely enough to eventually have their own business in a few years. Latinos are a workforce and stimulate the economy because its a lot of hard work to maintain and sustain this country. Who's gonna do all that hard work when they're deported. Maybe our spoiled and privileged teens? All industries will suffer a void in their workforce causing products and service prices to increase. Billionaires like Corporations, Trump and Musk are the reason you are not doing well, not immigrants. Trumpism is fear, hate, blame and shame politics. Immigration has been a thing since a million years ago, and it will always exist. People migrate. Americans use 1,000 times the resources more than immigrants need. Immigrants don't even qualify to for well-fare assistance. When immigrants are gone and the borders are secured, who will be blamed next for America's problems. Instead of focusing on the greater good and progress for all Americans, Republicans can't help themselves to use their power to address their xenophobia, blame, hate without concern of who and what suffers, families of the working class suffer, and our economy, not billionaires. Mass change and reckless actions based on negative emotions and Ego based intentions of one man, is bad for everyone. Negative energy + negative actions amounts and results to nothing but negative consequences and repercussions. Trumpism is no bueno for America. His approach to fixing immigration will hurt and break America.

I am a double hater cant stand Trump and I am a farmer, i dont use immigrants because i just grow crops that can be mechanically harvested and I have a small farm, But in the past I used to manage large farms where we had a lot of immigrants most were illegal and people don't understand why they're illegal It's because there is an arbitrary cap on how many migrants can come from Guatemala and Mexico if they wanted to come legally just a normal worker They have a 60-year waiting list so it's just impossible to come here legally. Most of these people are very hardworking good people that come here to work for 5 to 7 years save up money and then go back to Mexico or Guatemala build a house and start a business in their own country. \n\nThis year i begrudgingly voted for trump because for me the biggest issue is with the federal and state regulations that make farming much harder than it needs to be especially regulations on diesel engine emissions that cost me tens of thousands of dollars a year and many months of not being able to use my equipment that I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on. And Kamala was the one who enforced the CARB emmisions standards that diesel engine manufactures have to comply with to sell into California which is the biggest consumer of these engines. \n\nLike right now I have my pickup truck that's been down for 6 months because of emissions problems and so many of the vehicles have emissions problems that the parts to fix it don't even have an ETA because they need to fix so many trucks and I have two other tractors broke down that I can't use all my friends that are farmers have a lot more and dems want to significantly increase emmisions standards in 2026. \n\nYou simply can't grow food at scale without reliable diesel engines There is no alternative The vast majority of food is planted and harvested mechanically in the US The bigger issue with food is not well illegals get deported It is will the diesel engines run to harvest 90% of the calories in plant them. \n\nWe have robots that can milk the cows most of the things that migrants harvest can be harvested mechanically and they are in other parts of the world It's just cheaper to do it with labor once that's not the case it will be mechanized. I would prefer to keep migrants here but give them legal working status if they have productive jobs and they pay tax.

you voted for Trump despite Kamala's warnings. Now you're crying that you're going to pay more for products and that you're going to be deported. ??Leave now and don't come back.

Good idea. There will be 10 million available jobs in agriculture, construction, hotels, cleaning, painting, plumbing, Uber, slaughter Maybe Rubio can bring more Cubans to fill the gap or bring people from Canada or Europe legally. I don't think those 10m are unemployed. Good opportunity for MAGAs to find work. Salaries will double, production will be increased, and the price of vegetables will be cut in half.

Do you remember Stephen Miller and what he did to asylum seekers’s children on America’s Southern border during the Trump administration?\n\n*Separating children and babies from their parents. \n\n*Detained in inhumane conditions. \n\n* Cellophane blankets, 24 hour lights,1 toilet for hundreds, little water, No hygiene products, rotten food, toddler’s alone drink rotten milk, etc. \n\n*Children being abused by their unqualified gov. Caretakers. \n\n*Children willfully beaten and abused with Bags placed on their heads while zipped tied in a chair, SR, dying from a common flu. \n\n*Has anyone asked if all the children been found?\n\n*USA gov. Under Trump paid unknown men $200 a day per child. \n\n*Trump is planning to build bigger camps. Don’t think they’ll be deported to Mexico when you can easily torture them in Texas and other Trump friendly states. \n\nMEANWHILE TRUMP HAS HIRED UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATIONS AND SUPPLIED THEM WITH FAKE GREEN CARDS AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.

She is delusional. They will NEVER get back into the country. She bought the bullshit. If someone has been here for 10, 15, 20 years and been a productive member of society they should have a path to citizenship.

Secure the border? Yes. Prioritize deporting those who have committed crimes? Yes. But remember that the American economy relies heavily on foreign labour so the process of dealing with illegal immigrants needs to include dramatically increasing the number of immigration officials to get the productive, employed illegals some kind of legal status. The import tariffs are going to cause inflation. Taking away productive workers will further inflate prices.\n\nThen, of course, there’s the illegal immigrants who are entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. Washington Post reports, and Elon’s brother confirmed, that they entered the US illegally although they do now have legal status in the US. Elon had a student visa to do graduate studies at Stanford but he never signed up for a single course. Instead he created a startup. So he didn’t comply with his student visa and he was working illegally. Quite the hypocrite. Should Elon Musk be deported for his illegal entry back in the 1990s? There’s no evidence he committed any other crimes so perhaps not. But if not, then just treat all the illegals with the same consideration.

People really dont study history. A notable example of mass deportation impacting the economy is the mass repatriation of Mexican immigrants during the Great Depression in the 1930s. The U.S. government deported or encouraged the departure of hundreds of thousands of Mexican immigrants (many of whom were legally present and even U.S. citizens). This policy was partly driven by the belief that these individuals were taking jobs that could go to American citizens during a time of economic hardship.\n\nEconomic Impact in the 1930s:\n\n1. Labor Shortages: The sudden reduction in the Mexican labor force left many industries, especially agriculture and infrastructure, with labor shortages. Mexican workers had been essential to industries like farming, railroads, and manufacturing, where they took on physically demanding jobs that other workers were less willing to perform. As a result, productivity in these sectors declined.

There are people who entered this country over 30 years ago. They know no other country this America. They are hard working productive citizens.It's inhumane to send them back to a country that they know nothing of. They deserve a path to citizenship and should be allowed to stay if they are law abiding and people trying to make a living.

Wait until the price of produce products go up. You really think Americans are going to pick fruits and vegetables for the wages paid to immigrants? Just like the proposed tariffs, the consumer is going to pay, NOT China!

What's a green card? Lol just kidding. If she came here and has a green card, she's not Mexican American. She's just an immigrant. Not a good example. Not all Rodriguez, Diaz, Lopez, Perez, Gutierrez are immigrants. Dont go by last name. My last name tells you Im Latina but this Latina was born n raised in NYC. From parents who came to this country through legal channels and met here. Worked here, died here. Same as Mr Trump who is a Queens, NY boy. It's not rocket science. You are here illegally then go back to your country of origin and reapply. Come in the right n legal way. There is nothing wrong with that. Welcome people who obey laws. Who obey immigration laws. Those are the people who will be productive here. You coming in like a bandit, with no papers, no documents, no sense of direction then that's cause for concern.

Let’s turn it into a positive! Lets invest in small business and local production. New people is only a problem if we run our country the way corporations want us to. Let’s build infrastructure for a booming economy here and stop shipping off our RAW resources!!

The Democratic plan was to allow the illegals to vote in city county and state elections to build their base. Even though they can't vote in the presidential elections they have a lot of power at the city county and state level. How many times have you heard all elections are local. Democrats have been doing this for the last 20 years and for the very reason I said what I said. Democrats don't love illegal immigrants they are simply a product they can use to Garner more democratic votes. And the reward for those votes is we will make it easier for the rest of your family to get into America. That's the Democratic proposition for 2025 they want a total lockdown on this country that can never be challenged. Now you know and it doesn't matter what they say or how they deny it.

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

Each year, undocumented workers pay $59.4 billion in federal tax contributions and $37.3 billion in state and local tax contributions. Contrary to the false narrative about immigration reform harming the economy, an earned path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living and working across the United States would boost American economic growth, increasing U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), raising wages, and creating new jobs. Moreover, immigrants, regardless of their legal status, are a boon for the solvency of Social Security and Medicare. Indeed, the trustees who are charged with overseeing the Social Security and Medicare programs estimate that high-immigration scenarios lead to higher solvency for the programs

Good luck getting your farm products picked and to your kitchen tables !

When the courts overturned RvW (in Biden's face), it only made me wonder why America would need so many people in 30 years. \nAs a Canadian, I think about the fresh water and the north passage opening due to warmer weather and the enivitable fight for control. \n\nMass deportation atleast gives me hope that it's production and workforce preparation .

Paying crappy wages to Mexican and other labourers has always been the US way for making low cost food products.?

This is gonna have a trickle down effect on everything from house construction to food production. A lot of these businesses voted for him and he’s about deport their workforce or make you pay a fine

When produce prices jump in the stores because a lack of labor? When building contractors lose a portion of there labor building houses?? When the meat processors like tyson meats and others have illegals working through labor contractors!!!! Yes those of you who say how can they work? Well \nThe corporations give lip service but use contractors to avoid legal issues and inturn labor contractors uses temps lol and other modes!! \nWe are short of labors in these fields of employment. \nId like to see our MAGA voters go out and hoe weeds ????

This is Dem scare propaganda. Yes, there will be mass deportations of illegals, but it will be of criminals and various ne'er-do-wells. Productive and honestly employed people should be allowed to stay. If we were given a crate of apples, anyone in his right mind will pick out the good ones before tossing the rest.

I think it was on NBC where they interviewed an immigrant family who came here illegally, but were given citizenship under Reagans amnesty program. The whole family, parents and kids voted Trump and support his deportation policy. When ask they admitted they had several relatives in the states who are here illegally, but they dont think Trump will deport them because they work and are productive. ?

This is going to be a made-for-TV production.
