Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

Should they be here illegally....no, but:\nA. Deportations on the scale he's talking about, is not logistically feasible.\nB. If implemented, it'll most likely cripple the economy.\nC. These people are paying millions in taxes, and we'll lose that revenue.\nThe Trump cult rodent, is a dastardly, ignorant beast!

Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, commit crimes at a lower rate than natural-born US citizens. That is a statistically proven fact, and it makes sense considering that if we speed, we could get a ticket. If they speed, they might get deported. That's a fine to pay versus a potential death sentence... most people who immigrate here are trying to escape the very things they get accused of doing. Look, I'm not saying that people coming in illegally is a good thing, that every one of them has good intentions, or that border security is acceptable as it is. I just wish we put this much attention on those at the top of the income chain committing white-collar crime instead of something like this and fix the immigration situation without policies that will flip our already jacked up economy upside down for the sake of votes.

Why do these people insist on gaslighting Americans & keep lying about violent crime? Crime is the lowest its been in 50 years, why do they lie about the crime rates? Why can't they focus on actual problems Americans are dealing with like Inflation, groceries & gas prices why are they huper focused on a national massive deportation & not any other polices?

The thing is his maga people think that they are free of his deporting orders and like all Americans will be the ones paying the millions of dollars it will take to do that. It will be another fail like his wall.So is he going to send the Americans back to America who have illegally entered other countries especially his good pal Musk who entered on a student visa and within months chose to break the laws America had in place to stop laws being broken

What's wrong with you people. Trump and his mega cronies said they're going to rip families apart and they're going to deport them all. Old young children whatever they don't care. They believe they have a mandate. Go ahead keep having your little news discussions like it's just no big deal. The media better wake up and start telling the people what it's going to be like, you already blew it pre-election.

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

I’m a Canadian citizen. I married a Jewish African woman. And helped her get her citizenship after we got married here in Canada. Then we stood outside in the -20 degrees c freezing cold in a long lineup of good people trying to get their citizenships like my wife, all legally obeying the laws of Canada. I’m white so it doesn’t mater our skin color or religion. Its about love and respect to the laws of our country. What I was talking about before is we here in Canada have been suffering from over taxation, extremely high rental rates, high food costs, greatly reduced medical care (My Mom died recently from lack of proper med care resources). They put her lonely dying body in the hallway where she was robbed of her cell phones, money, food and respect. Due to migrants and illegal immigrants overloading the beds and rooms pouring in from other countries. they drained our existing medical system resources and much more. Drug addicts who overdosed on Fentanyl they take first and push all other patients aside. Doctors take them first before helping a dying mother, father, brother or sister, infant and children pushed aside to save a drug addicts life first. I have been told many times this is also do to them taking care of the pouring in migrants and illegal immigrants using it all up. Where is love and justice? Yes, you failed us Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. You sold us Canadian citizens out and tossed us aside for your own agendas. You are a disgrace to Canada and we the people want you out of office.

Give them what they want. They want this mass deportation let them have it. It’s going to cost a lot of money will likely control the house of representatives and the US Senate as well as the president go ahead and do it find the money pay for it do it. Now it’s going to be very weird when we try and figure out who’s going to do the jobs that these people are literally doing right now, but worry about that later. Right now do what you said you would do. Don’t take all day. Don’t slack off do it now. The man said on day one that’s what he would hold him to that. Give the people of America what they want give them those deportations give them those tariffs when the economic problems come with both initiatives. Let Republicans deal with it because this was the plan they proposed let them execute 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.

With a PM like Dustbin ,the education must be like Dustbin only ?.\nDont know why people paid so much money for Dustbin education?

As a trump voter, I would like to say this guy is nuts!!! If this is the real trump policy, it will end the GOP. People have lived here for years and have American kids who are college grads. Export these people, the nation will erupt In outrage. This is the type of rhetoric that gets nothing done.

I'm looking forward to this country imploding. American people? Maybe the ignorant people. We see what ills the people, and it's racism, misogyny they are not like us!

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.

This is a pyramid scheme, only benifiting those who organized it. The government has betrayed its people. Healthcare is either too slow or nonexistant. None but the rich can afford houses (and they usually own multiple and rent them out), jobs are all oversaturated. None of the political parties will stop this as it is too profitable. Indians are not bad people, but the sheer numerical growth is a sick joke on us. I feel like an abused animal in my birth country.

Doesn’t she know Trump is going to DEPORT people like her :(

I was out of work once with a machinist background applied at a meat packing plant the never. Called so I called them they said people like you don’t make it here good day!

Like they're gonna deport 11 million people. That's hilarious.

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!

She doesn't realize he means take it back from you and people like me...

I feel sorry for anyone related to people like this. Its so sad and diluted

Old girl didn't read Project 2025. The plan from Traitor Trump and the lying RepubliCONs is to denaturalize people like her and send her back, too. She wont be lonely. At least she'll have family members to be with her for the trip back to her native land.

Good luck punishing your donor’s companies for employing illegals??. Your contractor neighbor with a huge Trump flag on his truck is not gonna like having to either get rid of his 20 illegal Central American landscapers or being punished for having employed them. Good luck deporting 15’000’000 people. That’s 264 people every single day of the 4 years. Who’s going to pay for that? I have no issues deporting criminal illegals but it’s just unrealistic that you 1.) should or 2.) can deport everyone, including the ones contributing to local economies and taxes. There are more pressing issues for Americans. Getting the? !

They are pretending we are bad people because we want our laws followed, like all other countries do?\n\n\nJust another Democrat feed.

You CNN liberals can't do shit, \nThe republicans has won the presidency, popular vote,senate, house, supreme court the power is too much for them that anything they want to do will go easily for them including mass immigration, the economy amd inflation it will shock the Americans people of what trumps first year will look like and the entertainment is gonna be real\nI can't wait to grab my popcorn for trump to lecture cnn reporters and this time his gonna take no shit

There could be a chance for more people. If we send everyone back and companies can request their workers back legally. Like the programs that already exist. There are other choices. What we don't want is people to just feel like they can come in with no consequences. There are illegals that have been here for 20+ years. That pay taxes as well. Which I feel need a chance. This subject is so broad... But I know Trump is a fair man. He will do the right thing

That guy is so naive! Punish companies that hire, so now these immigrants become homeless. Crime will increase. And then crackdown on all these miserable people and throw them out by loading planes and flying them home? Other countries won’t accept them. \n\nJust sounds like total chaos. \n\nYou can’t violently move millions of people without incredible misery and strife.

???? nothing new… racist in Canada only comes up when Trump either running for election or elected… in 5 years, they will all slowly disappear. Trump is like a health potion for white people. ???? \n\nPeople of colour, just be patient, in 5 years this will be under the rug, it’s better to take note, who is racist or NOT, and make up your own judgement.

I would have said the same thing. I don’t like these people

But they came to America illegally. They shouldn't have come to the land like that in the first place. It was clear, people should come to a country legally. They were just used as pawns by the Democrats to gain votes. Poland was right. Most of them just cause trouble.

Delusional, hypocritical lefties. Deporting illegal immigrants is like driving people trespassers in our houses

All these people are just like Trump. They only care about themselves no one else what you don’t understand is Trump’s a communist and so is our country now no more voting no more say so only what Trump says he watch how long it’ll be before Putin in our White House.

This all sounds familiar so they have armed police kicking on peoples door and taking them from their homes in the middle of the night ? tell me that doesn’t sound like 1930s Germany

Doesn't she understand that being in this country illegally is a crime? Laws are not bad, people are bad, that's why we have laws. Furthermore she acts like she cares about these people when she quoted the gentleman on agriculture. They want these illegals so they can exploit them paying shit wages! Now who's unsympathetic to these people?

Well, hopefully the people that live off the government, the American people and the majority of white people starting to go to work that’s a good thing. All the workers we see basically Mexicans and I’d like to see the white Americans to take the Mexican jobs. It’s gonna be very amusing no more food stamps.. work work work will be available. Those are low paying job, but at least they are jobs.

Canada doesn’t operate by refugee or migrant labor. It’s perfectly fine. They charge us higher, but the country is safe and has law and order. Using cheap labor as an excuse to allow migrants who break the law to enter the country is ridiculous. We won’t like squatting in an occupied house, and then be forced to take care of our squatters. How about you sanctuary city people take migrants and have them live inside your home without vetting who they are and have an open door policy on your home. We don’t, because it’s ridiculous.

If CNN wants to once again become America's source for news, they need to get rid of people like Dana Bash.

They don't care about no one Trump is crazy and antitchrist people what you need to know all those people are racist just like Trump God has planned for America

we thank the coperate press and news networks like CNN,for all the hatred and division they have planted into American hearts all because of one man-TRUMP\nEven after the elections,CNN is still trying to tell the world that black and hispanic people that voted for Trump have voted for a doom day for their children.\nI can only imagine how much division that news networks like CNN will bring to this country now that Trump is president.\nInstead of analyzing the Truth why American people overwhelming voted for Trump and trashed the current administration,CNN wants Americans to hope that Trump is coming for everyone.\nTHIS NATION WANTS TO HEAL AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITH DAILY DIVISION AND HATRED COMING FROM THE PRESS EVEN AFTER THE ELECTIONS.THEY ARE NOT EVEN READY TO GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE EVEN AFTER 80% OF THE COUNTRY HAS CHOSEN HIM.

Why do people act like it's a bad thing to not want illegals here? If they're such decent people why don't they go through the proper channels instead of coming illegally??

Trying to do this will not only cost taxpayers but it’s going to create chaos and hell with lots of violence and is so anti American, stopping illegal migration is like trying to stop all crime \nIt’s futile but stupid people learn the hard way \n2025 the beginning of a 4 year hell on earth

You want to bet he's going to implement the same laws that the bipartisan agreement was on what he's going to do is just more chaos calamity it's going to be a total madhouse who the f*** is he kidding yeah it's going to go real smooth about as smooth as any of his f****** goddamn businesses like he said he loves the ignorant but not the poor not the needy not the sickly the most unchristian piece of s*** walking on this Earth ? and to top it off he's not really that f****** sharp I mean if you f****** read what he says you got to scratch your head if you see his actions you see how incompetent he is I've been watching this full since his father was in business back in the seventies another f****** piece of s*** turd goddamn slumlord racist piece of crap if Nixon told you to clean up your act you know there's something not right there blatantly they always were to find always acting like they did nothing wrong seems to have worked for him he's got these morons convinced years ago he made the statement City people are too slick country people are too slow like the song says blinded by the light shaking that shiny thing in front of them

Brexit was an interesting experiment. British will do the jobs pf polish or spaniards....then companies suffered as it was not true. I think these 4 years ahead of us we will see ugly rich insensitive people nehaving badly and likely many isa citizens and elsewhere we will suffer.

its not hard to understand. Trump has been specifically saying for a long time he will do massive deportation. people voted for it. it’s not like trump just decided to do this.

What country is going take 15 million people from the United States into their borders. That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard. And no one‘s gonna fight back. Now we get to see what moron leadership is like.

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

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

These fake news anchors look like they’ve been going through it. The people have spoken. Suck it up

It does not sound like a great long term plan?? \nI looks over growning the city.\n\nIt is oke to say no to people. \nYour country/ ciry will fall down soon
