We shouldn't forget that 'CANADIAN' includes generations of Immigrants ! Whether you're a first generation or the 11th generation, you do deserve being called 'FOREIGNER' if there's absence of Inclusiveness. GIVE BACK Canada to INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES if you're really concerned. STOP spreading HATE due to Colour, think of proportional division of Immigrants/refugees based on the needs of provinces, residential education for international students ! Dividing people living in the country is not an option !

If rapists need to be deported, then Trump needs to go back to Germany, where his immigrant family came from. His illegal immigrant wife needs to go too.

Donald Trump is not going to deport any illegals. That was the selling strategy to get your vote. Donald Trump want illegals here he knows that America’s do not hold the economy. The economy is built off immigrants cause they will do it for cheap bettering the country bettering taxes and benefiting the country more Americans want too much for doing labor. He knows that illegal immigrants will do it for nothing notice how Trump always says we need to get the illegals out of here we want them to come in legally is because he knows that illegal immigrants benefit this country. He just wanted your vote?????

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.

We don't need more immigrants

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.

canada needs more immigrants

Almost 30 million applicants seeking to immigrate to the US. The US can choose those who qualify to fit the labor needs of Trump’s great America.

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.

Yes the immigrants must GO. They are illegal, some are criminal immigrants and they are killing Americans. The immigrants are draining our resources while Americans or having to do without. We have LAWS on immigration and they MUST be followed. NO exceptions! Our economy is terrible and people are struggling to buy groceries or get Meds. We have poor/middle class people suffering because of the Biden/Harris administration. There will be no assault - ya'll are comical. WE have people here at CNN that don't have clue but yet tell everybody what needs to be done. The bottom line is - Donald Trump is our president and he will make the decision and will handle in a professional manner the illegal immigration problem. Show President Trump some respect. I was raised to respect your elders - what has happened to that? Ya'll sit back watch - don't' worry about immigration and watch a pro git er done. God Bless the USA..........

Illegal immigrants can self deport now. We don't need 20 million here. ?

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.

Illegal immigrants can do the right thing and start leaving now. And everyone responsible for allowing them in needs to pay restitution back to the American people

If Trump supporters think tarrifs are good and they don’t need immigrants, they’re in for a rude awakening!!!! ????????

I support legally immigrants. But illegal immigrants need to be deported immediately.

Yes! You need to restrict employer and impost high penalty by removing their busiiness licence and restrict them to do business for certain period of time. This way they will learn and understand the consequences disobeying the law. Fo those illigel immigrant who marry to an american citizen, they can apply to be an immigrant and eventually be a citizen. They need to follow the rules and the system.

There needs to be a war on illegal immigration. Take the money that Democrats have to Ukraine and use it for deportations. Put the national guards on the border.

President-elect Donald Trump stated that all illegal immigrants need to leave and re-enter the United States legally.

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!

Well how many million of illegal immigrants do we need to help with businesses

BIDEN AND HARRIS'S ABSOLUTE LAWLESSNESS CONCERNING OUR BORDER LAWS ARE INFURIATING!! EVERY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT NEEDS DEPORTED NOW!! THERE HERE ILLEGALLY THAT'S IT!!! WE'RE SPENDING 451 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR OF TAXPAYERS MONEY TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS!! BULLSHIT!! ALL AMERICAN RESOURCES SHOULD GO TO AMERICANS!! NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS!! WE NEED MASS DEPORTATION NOW!! TRUMP/ VANCE PUTTING AMERICANS 1ST!! NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS!!SEMPER FI!!

What an a__. U.S needs immigrants cause citizens would rather not do certain jobs.. never mind that it is inhumane + your own pm ancestors came in uninvited. Such hypocrisy..

We must hold those foreign nationals who violated America’s immigration law accountable. Our immigration and border security law was largely written by our, Lion of the Senate, Ted Kennedy. He promised Americans said if his immigration law was enacted into law we would no longer need amnesty for those in the country illegally, and our borders would be secure. As Democrats, we must keep the promise made to the American people by the late senator Ted Kennedy.

A functioning immigration system must remove illegal aliens \n \nRecent disclosures by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that hundreds of thousands of criminal immigrants are at large in the United States raise the question of why the Biden-Harris administration isn’t doing more to remove them. Increasing deportations is a necessary part of fixing what Vice President Kamala Harris refers to as “our broken immigration system.” She is right to describe it that way. But the administration in which she serves was the one to break it, not least by impeding ICE deportations. \n \nCurrently, about 1.3 million aliens under final orders of removal — those who have received due process and been ordered deported — are on ICE’s “non-detained docket” of 7 million individuals. These individuals include criminal aliens, whom Congress has directed ICE to detain and remove. But ICE can’t remove many of them because they’re from so-called recalcitrant countries — nations that refuse to provide the U.S. government with the travel documents it needs to facilitate the return of their nationals. The Supreme Court has held that, with only narrow exceptions, even detained criminals due to be deported must be released after six months absent a “significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.” If ICE can’t get their travel documents, there’s no likelihood of removal. \n \nFortunately, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a tool to force recalcitrant countries to comply. Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration won’t use it. Under section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), once DHS notifies the State Department that a foreign country “denies or unreasonably delays” the return of its nationals, the secretary of state must “order consular officers in that foreign country to discontinue granting immigrant visas or nonimmigrant visas, or both,” to nationals of that country. The George W. Bush and Obama administrations used that authority sparingly, each restricting visa issuance to just one country in order to force compliance. As my colleague Mark Krikorian recently noted, “Trump made much wider use of it, and got results.”\nSOURCE, CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES

Well it's his woke and dei scheme that is hurting Canada and will continue to create a divide I'd hw is not removed...Canada...USA...Europe are mostly white nations and their traditions..way of live should be respected and assimilated by newcomers instead of changing its social cultural scape which I the end creates ghettos ( product of multiculturalism) instead of a true confederation. In no way is Canada ready to receive a way of welfare applicants although they will replace the international students not coming in duew to new changes. Will this never end...no more $ for foreign wars or immigrants doe the moment. Please use the money on real needs we fave now!..if we are the electors.. can't we also remove....?

We need Trump in England and New Zealand.as both countries have a scurge of immigrants. Deport all

we have a massive army just sitting there doing nothing. They, and all of their supporting equipment, are already paid for so declare Immigrants from 2020 through 2024 a national threat and produce the largest deportation of illegal immigrants. Once identified as such, there is no need for $10K in documenting any further, drive them to the border open the gate, push them through , close the gate. Once 8-10 Million have been deported, close the border completely and don't open it again until congress passes a comprehensive immigration plan to include visa overstays, path to citizenship, stronger penalties from illegal crossings, sponsorship programs and skills base requirements.

Why be pro immigrant? Your already here. Dont need anymore after me and my fam get in! ?

Let’s face it, homegrown Canadian professionals are leaving Canada for the U.S.A where pay is much higher. Canada needs high skilled immigrants.

The Canadian/US border needs a wall. No more illegal immigrants.

Illegal immigrants are going to start self deporting. If they’re caught in this country illegally in the first place they will never be allowed to become a citizen afterwards. They need to go home and apply to come to this country legally.

Immigrants are America. This decision is a disaster. Immigration is a big problem and needs to be addressed in a long term idea.

Canada desperately needs more immigrants.

$150.7 billion spent on illegal immigrants. The freebies need to end.

we need to stop all illegal immigrants coming into Canada. Let them apply and come in the front door. This is out of control.

Quit using the term Undocumented Immigrants. The correct Term is Illegal Aliens who have broken Immigration Laws by entering the Country illegally which is a is Criminal Act. I blame Both sides for using that Term and not Revising the Laws to Deal with the Problems. Immigration Laws need to be Revised and Enforced Period. Quit kicking the Can down the Road. Do your Damn Jobs Congress! No I’m not a Republican or Democrat. I’m an Independent Thinking American stuck in Between this Lunacy.

big shift needed in immigration , all illegal border crossers must be send back, fake media machine started again

Blacks need to stay vigilant !! Mass deportation is not possible, immigrants make up the backbone of manual labor jobs , I promise in 3.5 years they will have deport less than a few thousand.\n\nBut watch them drastically roll back alll civil rights,!!! Hate crimes against black lives will drastically increase as well.\n\nIdk about the dangers to women tomorrow but in the long future women’s rights have taken a large step back

Winter needs to get here quick. -40 and a few feet of snow is always welcome during immigration season. ?

America needs immigration.... LEGAL immigration. \nFurthermore, the Oath of Allegiance to become a US citizen requires the new citizen to obey the laws of the United States: \nThe oath includes a commitment to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States, and to obey the laws that result from the democratic process established by the Constitution.\nIllegal immigration equals breaking the law to get here. Do you see the irony.

not going to happen not true going cost millions..... deportation 20 millions of immigrants....who get in trouble going take from jail by ice... deportation.....we need the wall by Texas.. Arizona....new Mexico..only produce tooo much crime.... abusing.... falsifying. Immigrants like do toooooo much.....fake information.......

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.

Laken riley was murdered by an illegal immigrant, a 14 yr old girl was raped by an illegal immigrant, but Trump is bad, democrats need a reality check

How do people not understand that illegal Immigration is good for America. We need more immigrants. More people just means a bigger economy.

There are not Millions of Immigrants who are also Criminals.... They need to stop that narrative....Most of the Immigrants come here to work , and have a better life for themselves, and many send money back home to help their Family..... It is Sad that many Latino's who Voted for Trump, voted against their friends and relatives best interest.....

Mexico #1 form of legal GDP is the money that legal and illegal immigrants send back to Mexico that money never returns to the USA economy. They also affect supply and demand. So things cost more because there is a higer demand with less supplies and thats simply based on population. I voted Blue , but things like this is why Democrats lose the election. They need to be honest about the long term affects of illegal immigration. And to bring up the cost as if we aren't sending hundreds of billions of aid and resources to other countries that frankly we shouldn't be doing at the rate that we are anymore because the world has benn mooching from Americans and their citizens good will and charity for too long. So this can be paid for without adding any debt. Trump is an idiot but he and Republicans are right on these issues. Democrats seen to treat this issue with kid gloves. The center Democrats like Obama have to return. He deported more immigrants than any president in history, quietly. He didn't start a war or send troops but he dropped more bombs than you can imagine...Quietly. Democrats should have learned a valuable lesson. The world isn't just rainbows and flowers so we cant treat every issue that way

What we need is a for-profit deportation system. Perhaps pay citizens a bounty for turning illegal immigrants in. Start fining landlords, and business owners.

Like most of the media networks CNN has bitched and moaned, but never offerred any constructive criticism or plan for dealing with the problem.\nAll countries have border security and immigration laws.\nOur immigration laws ( responsibility of Congress) seem reasonable to me. I do think we need a better plan for dreamers.\nBorder security tho is a primary responsibility of the President. He is supposed to enforce our laws whether he likes them or not.\nThanks to Joe we have an additional 12 milliin more people here. One they criss iur border illegally, they are , by definition, criminals.\nBut they still need shelter , food, and medical care which we are paying for.\nWhat does CNN think should happen? Are you all inviting someone home with you ?

What do you morons in the media not understand, the people want to know who is here illegally and for them to be removed. We have a legal system in place for one million legal immigrants a year, this is simple, if we need five million immigrants, let them in here through the legal process we already have in place. What is the reason for letting anyone come in here illegally other than to do harm to our American citizens, does CNN have any idea why the people are voting for law and order.
