This is a good news for the future of my children. Trump is a true leader. Yes, TRUE.

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

New York is worst, Every month $2000 EBT free food, free insurance Medicaid, free school meals, yearly children tax credit $20,000, with cash job. Wake up America, Trump will do in good, if not your tax money will be run out in Bankruptcy USA. How much you earn and pay tax.

Trump will end the war in Ukraine. Ukraine is losing land to Russia and Putin will attack the next neighboring state. Georgia is next. The children were abducted from Ukraine to Russia. It doesn't matter, Putin is a good friend

That’s why Trump targeted all uneducated people because he sounds good in talk but doesn’t do anything either. I wish we could start again like 20 years ago because now some illegal migrants that have been here for 5-20 years think they have American rights they are still illegal and have no American rights. All criminals, people collecting federal/ state benefits are anyone coming over here pregnant should be consider illegal. I’m willing to pay to clean up our country then paying to support these illegal migrants. If they own a home they should be deported too because I’m sure they lied or committed fraud to even buy a home. We all work our life to obtain our dream but they are given preference instead of veterans, our homeless and American people.

I voted against trump….but if they deport one they should deport all….it was the Hispanics that voted for trump that helped trump get elected, it was their self hatred that made them vote for trump now they should feel the results of what they did…in fact trump and his people should go also for the Hispanics that entered this country illegally and later became citizens through any kind of means such as marriage, or being sponsored by their own kids….that includes musk and melania according to reports they entered this country illegally…..and what about the Asians? there are more Asian illegals than Hispanics in this country they voted for trump now they should also be deported….Muslims are another group….trump should follow his son’s in law advice annex the Gaza Strip to Israel “ it is a good beach property”….now let’s speak about women, abortion and other rights like the right to vote….I don’t care if trump takes all of their rights away this is what they voted for…finally blacks they also voted for trump knowing that white supremacists would be free to do what they dreamed of doing…they should go for their wildest fantasies ….when blacks voted for trump they forgot about blm….I guess that is what they wanted….when blacks come out in the streets to protest the way they are treated we should leave them alone….same with Mexicans and Palestinian Americans, women….you all are on your own…

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.

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. ?️

Good work Canada. next Australia then USA with Trump in charge followed by UK all will keep on doing this while government instead of increasing jobs, salaries and basic rights will do rallies for next state elections.??

The so-called Trump voters who said they are regretting voting for Trump are crazy. I don't understand why they should be regretting? Everybody knows what Donald Trump's intentions are. For example, the 100% rise on tariffs on imported goods, which Trump had tried during his first term and it backfired. Majority of Americans electorate are not just that rational. They make decisions based on emotions. Trump just kept on invoking emotional mantra like the migrants are invading American, woman is not strong and smart enough to be the president of US, a black woman from black immigrant family are not smart enough to be the president of US - old stereo type that have torment America from slavery. It doesn't take rocket science to understand why Trump played on the emotions of Americans. Trump knows that, that is why he kept repeating those emotional mantra, and not talking about the issues. Trump - bonefide conman - and his advisers understood this very well and used to con Americans to vote for him. Good con-job Donald. Kudos.

Good job trump!!

Less war... more of a backbone?\nHypocrite.\nGet Educated. Giving thousands and thousands of dollars to immigrants. What a joke! This country is really nieve... as long as I am good screw everybody else. Trump will show you what he's capable of. As long as my life is better.....ha! Good luck Trumpers!!

Good. Then we can start by them showing integrity for once by investigating Melania and Musk first. \nHers was expedited on fraudulent grounds because Trump’s friend backed her for his business. \nAnd Musk overstayed on a Student Visa.

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

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? !

As an Independent voter, I voted against Trump, as I think he is simply too slimy to represent the USA. Having said this, I agree that ALL people living in this country illegally (men, women, children) need to be deported. Will this increase the price of goods? Probably. But, until we baseline things according to our rule of law, everyone against this policy is simply guessing.

Good job Dana and CNN For helping elect Trump.

She has no idea what’s really going to happen. Trump’s likely to ignore the existing laws and remove legal Hispanic immigrants or make it very very difficult for them to remain here. \n\nHe’s going to escalate existing ethnic bigotry, among a host of other divisive tactics, and she’ll see—along with other Latinos who voted for him, what’s she really voted for.\n\nThere are ways to handle this humanely, but think of how a certain German, his idol—per Ivana, his first wife—handled his power, and you’ll get some idea of how bad this can, and very likely will, really get. \n\nThe only possible saving grace may be his early signs of dementia, but he’s putting in place a group of likeminded friends, so not a good time to be different in the US.

I see cnn comments full of stupid democrats, they still don’t get the message! Well, good think majority of the country is smart enough to vote for Trump ❤

OK, Liberal women are Protesting Trump by nolonger having sex, that means no more Liberals will be born ?Heck Yeah ? My the future is Looking good ?

Thanks to CNN’s merciless attack on Biden’s debate performance and the political and Hollywood elites calls for Biden to step down, we now have a second Trump term. Biden had a better chance of beating Trump. Harris was never a good candidate, but she was rammed down our throats without any discussion.

Well, some of Trump's supporter's relatives are going back to their native countries. Good for you for supporting this fake savior!?

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

Trump is taken a aways our right it unfair they now remove married paper wow just wow I am Latino American I born here too good thing I didn’t vote for him he not my president

Good for you guys in the Republican party now the Hispanic and the black business owners will feel the pain of their vote for trump ! you reap what you sow.

Welcome to the United States of Russia. Good job CNN good job Latinos good job Arab Americans good job Hispanics. Good job white man you just made Trump a king. Might be the last time you got vote.

I hate say it good luck not getting deported don't matter to trump that you have a green card

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

Good! If they are not here legally, they need to go back home! As a Cuban-American I say, Trump must do what he promised! ?

They'll all see, they don't speak like Trump, and their color isn't as white as Trump's beautiful white skin. He also said, papers or not, immigrants all go ?. Good luck to you all, in the USA. You certainly are proving, how dumb you are. Now live with your decisions. I don't think the world is gonna give 2 shits about any of you that voted for Trump. He told you all what he and his goons have planned for you. Smh in disbelief ??

It was announced today on the news that the Trump initiative to deport all illegal immigrants will cost up to $1 trillion dollars. That’s a lot of moolah. Which will come out of our taxes. And the tariffs that he went on and on about. Companies aren’t giving out bonuses to workers for end of year. Because they have to save money now because Trump will impose tariffs on incoming goods. The workers didn’t understand they assumed the cost would be paid by importers. In reality, it will trickled down to American consumers who have to pay for goods. Economists have been saying during the election this is a bad idea.Trump tried to do it the last time he was in office and it didn’t work. So people be aware you think you can’t afford things now wait you won’t be able to afford anything. PS the government has nothing to do with price gouging for food and they don’t set the price for gasoline or electricity, etc. ????

Good luck Latino who vote for Trump

NO ONLY THE PERSON ------ BUT HIS FAMILY ALSO = US CITIZENS . ---------- MY Father was a Victim of the OPERATION WET BACK in the 1950's and Early 1960's . and He was a CITIZEN . ((( HE WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN ))) They Took them to the DESERTS Near the Border and Just Dumped them ((( NO WATER , NO FOOD ))) Most DID NO LIVE . ------------------- NOW Up To 60% Of LATINO Voted for TRUMP , ******* SAY GOOD BY TO YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS ********* They will NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN .

When I think about it can't be mad with Trump they did this to themselves good luck the next two months because once Jan 6 come things gonna get real

We love the 47th president Donald Trump and Elon Musk and everyone in the four years of the presidency will always take care of America remember don't forget to always take care of yourself please do a good job everyone is doing a great job.???????????????????????????????

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.

There's a good example from Nazi Germany: Victor Klemperer (a Jew) was married to a German woman. So he survived the war - and wrote the book Lingua Tertia Imperii (Die Sprache des Dritten Reiches), explaining how the Nazis distorted the German Language to include new (and destructive) meanings of ordinary phrases. Look out for that in official documents given out by the Trump administration.

They are going to find out Trump and his people are racist and don’t care if they are here legally or not. Canadians will not be on the deportation lists. Trump is not a law and order guy—he talks about having good genes, not being a good citizen.

That Cuban woman describes a lot of minorities believe it or not. And it explains very well how even some slaves would cut deals with a plantation owner to snitch on plans to runaway etc. not because it meant they’d be free but simply cuz they’d maybe get to work in the house and not the field. \n\nA lot of people are very selfishly driven. And a lot of minorities have this crab in a barrel mentality, they will fight for scraps at the feet of white men who only want power for white, RICH men. Even poor whites think they’re gonna get in good with Trump, but Trump is a billionaire aligned with other billionaires like Musk and Murdoch and guess what, they have nothing in common with any common folk, black, white, Asian or Latino. Yet here we all are fighting like crabs in a barrel. Real dumb.

They have a few more good months and then better put on seatbelts when Trump is in.

Good. This is what we voted for. TRUMP 2024!!!

When Polivierre gets elected he better have a damn good plan to evict and get together with President Trump to see that they are all ejected.

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

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

Good interview. It adds clarity and grounds the discussion, but is anyone in MAGA listening? Trump and his sicophants just want to hear 'smack' talk, because that requires no thought. The stupidity is already starting, and it's only been 24 hours since he eas elected.

Both Melania Trump and Elon musk were here on expired visas. But they are white... so they're good right?

I guess you people didn’t learn did you? Mass Deportations best thing we have heard since yesterday when we were told trump won. If you cared about democracy like you claim, and you cared about American people like you claim, you would stand behind this deportation of illegal undocumented immigrants. They are here illegally. Keep up the good work your station will be shut down before you know it.

This woman has no idea how messed up our current immigration system is. The fact that she thinks her deported cousins could successfully reapply or that she said “I stood in line for hours and days to get my green card” just shows how out of touch she is. She thinks that Trump sees her as an equal when he doesn’t. He doesn’t care about the difference between “illegal” or “legal” immigrants… he said non white immigrants are “poisoning the blood of America.” \nAnd as a Mexican born immigrant, she should never forget that the only thing protecting her is a green card, which can be revoked at any time. She is selfish and deluded. I am a daughter of a Taiwanese immigrant who watches Fox News every night and it drives me crazy. Y’all are no better than any illegal immigrant. We need more of them to sustain our low birth rate. Immigrants are awesome and there’s absolutely no good reason to inhumanely and violently deport immigrants. I have heard stories from friends of how inhumane the ICE detention centers are. They treat you like animals, worse than they treat US citizens who are murderers.
