You see how stupid politics work. The Republicans could've passed a bill under Biden but shut it down so they can pass it under trump so he can get the credit. Party before country, that's why I'm an independent.

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 have a little friend who is an elderly Cuban lady, has been in this country since she was young, and is a Democrat! She recognizes how awful trump is. I haven't talked with her since the horrible election, but I'm sure she's worried for our 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!

I finally understand all this support for Donald Trump. It took me a while. This isn't a small number, it's in fact now The Majority!! Hitler wasn't that popular at first either. Like in 1930s Germany and The Jews, illegals will be allowed to leave a while; then the Gestapo tactics can fully begin on those that didn't believe. I'm pretty sure many here are salivating already.

I'm terrified of Donald Trump.\nThe exchange rate Canada/U.S. will make my money worth more.

Obama first term 3.2m deported.. trump first term 2m... Stop the nonsense

Hes right. America voted. They want a mandate. They should do everything Trump wants. Then see what happens. Let them eat cake. What a bunch of fools America is. This is all because the Democrats failed the middle class and the poor so badly. I'm disgusted with all of it.

Both Canada and US doesn't need anymore illegal immigrants.\nI'm glad Trump is the new President elect and the US 47th President on the US side he's on the right track.\nNext for Canada its time for Trudeau to go and not be a PM anymore and remember a win for Trump as US President is a loss for Trudeau as Canada's PM.

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.

I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction of Trump supporters when prices go up exponentially in the wake of mass deportations and tariffs???

So, wait, you are going to locate the undocumented criminals and deport them first, so can you explain to me like I'm a 5 year old child, if you know they are undocumented, and you know they are criminals, and you know where they are, then why are they just roaming around out there? Of do you mean they are criminals like Trump who have not ever been brought to account?

TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP!!! ? You guys lost and I'm loving every second of it.

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.

If Donald Trump and his supporters think that they’re evil behavior is godly behavior, then I’m better off worshiping the devil!

I voted for Harris and despise Trump, however, I'm hoping Repubs do exactly what they've been wanting to do for YEARS, which is to finish their fence/wall along the ENTIRE border, deport ALL illegal/undocumented migrants, many of them Trump supporters, and shut about the stupid border already!! Americans are exhausted with the topic!!! I live in Arizona, I know of some illegal migrants close to me, they support Trump, and I'll be calling ICE on them on Jan 21st and will demand they get deported, and will work to find ALL migrants who supported Trump, and get them out of here!! Trump will crash the economy again, of course, so Dems will have to come in and clean it up again, as they always do after Republicans.

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??

Pro Trump Dana Bash I’m not interested. She’s a traitor. And CNN is a treasonous news station.

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

This is so mind-boggling. I'm not against immigrants coming legally, but being ok with someone being offensive to your ethnicity is crazy. That is your heritage and where you come from. Trump doesn't care ANYTHING about you or your family. \n\nWe're all buckling up for what's to come. So, get ready for what you all have asked for. When you have these racist Trump supporters who come in your direction, they're not going to see that you voted for Trump. Guess what? All they're going to see is an immigrant, even though you're a citizen. \n#Godisstillincontrol

This is the right way to go. I’m proud of this American Mexican lady. Support Trump Border Policy. ???

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

I'M A BLACK MALE, ADOS, NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP --- BUT THE MAJORITY OF WHITE WOMEN AND HISPANIC MEN DID, ABOUT 45% OF LATINOS VOTED FOR THIS SHIT --- I'M JUST GOING TO MIND BY OWN BUSINESS AND SAY, Y'ALL GET WHAT YOU VOTED FOR.

LEGAL IMMIGRANTS FOR TRUMP! MAGA ❤❤❤❤❤! I'm also a LEGAL IMMIGRANT!

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.

These comments are ridiculous, do you think all Latinos are illegal??? The ones that voted for Trump want the illegals deported to because they are Americans! Sheesh!! I'm black and if they start deporting illegal Africans it ain't no skin off my back! My family will stay here with me! Wow!

Well I’m not a trump voter but kinda wanted him to win just to see how much better we will be , he didn’t do much in 4 years , I’ll wait and see

I'm moving there to get away from dictator Donald Trump

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.

I voted for Kamala but now I’m rooting for Trump’s successful implementation of mass deportation and ACA repeal. Go MAGA!!

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

Well, I'm pretty sure you should talk to Trump about this.

I'm confused. Why are these news talking heads talking about the future? Talking about restructuring their party. They told us for 4 years, if Donald Trump won it was the end of Democracy. That he would change the laws and become a dictator. \n\nSo you lied to us? You made all of that up? \n\nYou said the uneducated supported Trump but in truth the uneducated believed the non stop lies you morons spewed.

Kinda disagree in a sense , because President Trump is not deporting them to Canada !!! Hello I’m sure their point of origin is not The Good ol Maple Leaf ?

I'm not Cuban. I'm from the good ol' south. I can tell you US southerners don't care if you're legal or not. They don't want to see you one way or the other. But keep voting Trump. Thank you.

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.

I'm not glad Trump won, it was expected. Biden has been a disaster. I have no regrets for supporting Jill Stein. We have huge issues that Biden and Democrats just refused to address. Thank you democrats for the lgbtq rights. Now I can move away from you and vote the way I want without fear of losing my rights. Bye! ?

All of these millions and millions and millions of illegal immigrants in this country now I'm curious how many of them voted for Donald Trump and did they vote for him hoping that he would change his mind about the deportation

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.

Lol, she has a point. As much as I dislike Trump (I'm a liberal), illegal immigrants cost the US more money than they pay in taxes. I still think Trump is a terrible president, but agree with conservatives that illegal immigration is a problem that should be addressed.

I have a feeling that undocumented immigrants who don't bother anyone will be among those who will be deported. I don't think Trump and his team thought this through, especially about how huge an undertaking this would be. Those immigrants don't scare me. I'm more scared of some of my fellow Americans.

I'm sure that if Trump puts someone in charge of Government Efficiency, there will be numerous amounts of money that can be reallocated, to fund a big chunk of this, there is an abundance of wasteful spending and redundancy in Government, that can and should be trimmed. Government needs to work within a budget, and do the things it is required to Constitutionally, and nothing more, and that will free up alot of money. Just as all of us as families or businesses, we have to operate within a budget, and prioritize, and our Government should be held to the same standard, especially when it's our money, that we are entrusting them with, to do their required job.

Trump doesn’t care about due process, he doesn’t even care about loyalty. He locked up his own lawyer because his lawyer decided to use something called the first amendment. His lawyer, what makes you think he’s going to care about some voter he’s never met before!? I’m fifth generation Irish American and even I’m concerned about getting deported.

They need 100,000 ICE officers to even begin this plan.\n\nIf you voted for Trump, start sending in your applications. I'm _sure_ you all will meet the physical and mental requirements ??.\n\nHave fun risking your lives on a lie just like the Border Wall. I'm sure you'll get at least 6% of this plan done just like that one, and it won't totally be a waste of time, money, and human lives.

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

They should start with the 45% of Hispanics that voted for Trump. Those should be the first to go. I’m all for that. And that should be enough.?

So it seems that even though the country sent a message that its' done with the liberal lies & racism, CNN is still at it. While I'm happy to watch the liberals twist in the wind with the Trump victory, I don't look forward to 4 more yrs. of media propaganda. Someone make it stop!

I’m in agreement with Trump !!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Trump commit crimes, perhaps he should be deported?

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
