I am a U.S. born Mexican-American. This woman disgusts me. My father was a decorated WWII veteran. He, too, was a U.S. born citizen, as well as my mother. We never had much. One thing they both taught me was to help people who had less than we did. I look mexican, yet when I open my mouth, I don't have the accent my parents had. I have been targeted by random people just minding my business running errands. I have on occasion stuck up for my fellow Hispanic when I have seen them ignored and mistreated. What the f is wrong with this person. Was she not taught anything about empathy and compassion? Isn't she at risk of being deported? The green card can easily be taken away. Honey, they don't want us here. Yes, I include myself in that. This woman is as racist as any skin head. They will turn on her in a second. What a fool. Even Mexico doesn't deserve for this woman to be tossed back to them.

The west needs to wakeup.. Europe with italy and germany as well USA with trump.. but needs more people to realize

This illegal immigrant knows she's damn well lying. So she claims she received her green card after waiting just a couple of hours and days, for the USCIS to begin the process with such an expedient turn around time. After her application was submitted, researched, investigated, approved and they also issued her a Green Card so effeciently. Get real, it's a government process in no way has any business being done with our government has ever ran that efficiently and swiftly.\nHer dumb ass will be round up with the rest of her own damn family.\n\n?She called herself a Mexican-American!?

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.

Oh well they gotta go it ain’t fair what Democrats have done to us Americans. Now it’s our Turn but like he said they gotta come back in Legally

The only thing about that is because it is going to be so much chaos just because of the way her name sound she as well could get caught up in this mess,you can best believe it will happen to a lot of innocent people ,she said that they been here 30 yrs ,she has no heart,when you think you are safe that is when the wall come crashing down.

If Trumps a wannabe dictator why didn't he support unconstitutional vaccine mandates and supports gun ownership? Also why wasn't he supported by warmongers like liz Cheney/bush as well??? None of you demorats can answer my question ?

Well I will say she is brave and honest. And she is a TRUE American. Regardless of what Trump wants, she’s standing on game! And I’m not going to mistreat every Hispanic I see because I know how it feels to be grouped in and stereotyped, trust me. Also no one’s getting deported..

Could backfire on her as well

So it’s now a goal ? Well it seems the switch that comes after the bait. So now it will narrow to criminals. Oh and here is self deportation MAGA you been had LMAO !!!! Now it won’t be deportation it is going to be business is going to do it or get fined ? WTF ? Where are the camps in Texas ICE all that stuff ?

First Trump's administration is going to be jacked up with little known outliers with controversial and radical ideas. That is what Trump is attracted to. His ideas of tariffs and mass deportations are deplorable. They both disadvantage the US instead making it better. However, the tariffs may as well be a scam to get companies profits as when Trump says 10% on item A, companies are going to raise the cost of item A 12 to 15% or so and blame the cost increase on tariffs. For deportation's, I hope most people realize that many working the fields as low wage labor are very well illegals, but they are hired because they keep food costs low. Raising all prices for the poor Republicans will not be beneficial because prices on goods can increase 15% or more but their employer is certainly not going give them a 15% raise to match the cost of living. So Trump has already made the business environment good for more profits by planning to make life more expensive for everyone so business can absorb the additional profits. Probusiness politicians help businesses make money and that money comes from households and the government. And making the government spend more means the government needs to tax more. But TRump is cutting taxes for the people that have the most money. And Trump raising prices with tariffs justs makes households poorer and business richer. Naturally, the stock market will record highs when all the indicators are that business will be making much greater profits from households when Trump takes office.

Helll communicate well with Biden.

This Senator is going to be in hot water with the GOP! He's calling for business owners to be held accountable for hiring illegal immigrants. This is not going to be accepted very well...

Well, there goes all the good authentic Mexican food damn’t. Mexican people take the amazing food you brought to this country with you because America does not deserve to live off your creation.

Hitler and Nazi Germany tried that 'mass deportation' thing... Didn't workout so well.\nNot going to work under Trump and Fascist America either.

Well, you could move to the USA. LOL! No background check , no screening! \nOpen boarders and free everything to illegal immigrants! Criminals welcome!

My family is immigranted and we all agree. Multiple times when elementary kindergarten kids were walking out of school buses im not lying everyone of them was brown likely indian. I barely see white people anymore and im asian its kinda annoying seeing someone asian as well on every corner. My math class people weere speaking chinese loudly. Eh i dont have any problem of that trust me just saying. When i was in elementary it was less common finding someone that was from my country so there was a big clear change

she will be deported as well!

Well we will see where it takes us

It's always.. well... funny?... when rightwing-politicians sketch and communicate simple plans, which sound nice on the paper, but later it turns out that the world is much more complicated than the one-dimensional, simpleminded brains of these politicians. And that all these plans don't work? Or that these politicians know that it's not that simple but sell it to their constituencies as simple. That would be even more reprehensible.

NOW these ignorant repubs care about what the american people want???!!! ? O.k.!! Well we would like healthcare to be affordable.. to NOT gut social security/medicare..have term limits on the corrupt SCOTUS. let's start there shall we??!! Can you make any of those REAL issues better for us??!! Oh yeah..probably not..the Repugs are NOT the party of our for the people.. they are the party of corruption and chaos! YOU will fail!!! And fail ALL americans, but I have little sympathy for all those that voted for the convicted felon and his repulsive party!!! You WILL get exactly what you voted for..NADA!! Karma is a bitch?

Half of Punjab migrating to Canada is not good for country's well being!!! Studies r mostly scams! U ppl go there for nice car and nice house and freebies!!! Then ruin authentic Canada culture with blemished unruly punjabi culture and ppl originally from Canada can't voice protests because of woke trolls! Just admit study in canada is a front to immigrate there! Those crappy courses don't warrant travelling all the way to that country leaving home!!!!! Pathetic

The economy is not going to handle deportations + tariffs very well. Prepare yourselves, everyone.

Clueless! Who will work in agriculture, meat processing, housecleaning, landscaping, etc. ? \nThe wrongheadedness as well as the coldheartedmess of MAGA is breathtaking.

A Call to Unity Against Intolerance\n\nWe stand at a critical juncture in our nation's history. The incoming administration presents a unique challenge, one that demands a united front from all marginalized groups. A narcissist's playbook is well-known: isolation, manipulation, and a disregard for the needs of others. We cannot afford to be divided and fall victim to these tactics. \n\n\nOur Strength Lies in Unity\n\nTo counter this threat, we must prioritize community building. We must forge strong bonds across diverse groups, recognizing our shared experiences of marginalization and discrimination. A Shared Goal: Ending Intolerance While we may have different specific goals and agendas, we are united by a common purpose: to eradicate intolerance in all its forms. By marching together, we demonstrate the power of a diverse coalition committed to equality, justice, and human rights.  \n\n\nThe Inevitable Awakening\n\nAs the true nature of the incoming administration becomes increasingly apparent, we must be prepared to support one another. We will build a resilient network to guide our nation through the darkness and emerge stronger than ever. We need a coalition so strong that we can band together and bring power to our government that acts in the people's best interests.\n\n\nOur Time to Act\n\nThe time for passive resistance is over. It's time to take decisive action. Join a group or 2 fighting for your rights and stand with us Together, we will be the beacon of hope, love, and truth that pierces through the lies. This is more than just one March this is a movement and are marching orders are clear. We must stop intolerance by showing we are stronger together: our rights, our fight. Jan 18th is the People's March and the movement begins. Please share these words. Let us  build the movement.

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.

Well done Canada ?? the best thing to do right now, more I can say about my country got no backbone ?? won’t stop anything here gutless Traitors our government

Why do we need detention camps? Once an illegal gets caught by ICE, then bring them directly to the border and just send to the other-side of the border wall. That’s it. If this keeps going on, then numerous illegals will leave the country by their own. Also, ICE should raid the employment companies, stores, gas stations, and all possible illegal employment facilities very frequently to not only catch the illegals but also to charge a big amount of penalties to those employers. This will fund the deportation costs and tightening the illegal surviving in US will diminish this illegal flow. This process happened in past after the twin towers attacks. The republican administration knows very well how to push back the illegals.

Canadians are living there illegally? Oh well they get sent back to Canada.Whats the problem?

Oh yeah, the effective and well working Trump policies ... he already had 4 years, fixed nothing on the border ... you stupid people just tend to forget that.

I have to pay uscis thousands of dollars to bring my fiance here, so everyone else should have to pay as well, as a Democrat im disappointed in the Democrats and Republicans. America has voted for a convicted felon to run the free world, there is no such thing as morals here.

Anyone reading this that is planning on crossing the border. I'm gonna be frank with ya. Aside from the fact that you probably shouldn't be trying to circumvent our laws just to avoid a situation you don't like in the USA right now... you also shouldn't be trying to cross our border in what is becoming our winter season. \n\nThere are plenty who try, and many do meet a grim fate due to the elements they are just not prepared for. And even if you think you can do it, or prepare enough to do it, you still shouldn't. There isn't much you can do when you have fallen into one of the many sloughs that hide beneath the snow and ice during winter, waiting to make you a popsicle. And if you get out of that, you still have to somehow get warm again. But let's say you avoid that, what then? Well, we have these really cold biting winds that make the -30 temps feel like -40 or worse. But you came prepared, so let's say you can handle that for a bit. Well, you sweat. You will get damp, then wet, over time. Then your fancy clothing doesn't do much for you anymore. Ya dig?\n\nOh but wait, there's more. So we have this wildlife eh', and it likes to do this thing that wild life does... and it eats you. Coyotes are one such kind of wildlife. Bears are another. Both are prolific in certain areas, all the way down to the border in some cases. \n\nGranted, coyotes usually aren't a huge problem for us up here, but that's cause we know how to deal with them usually. Bears are another issue, that even we have problems with at times. You'll probably run into a black bear if you run into one. Grizzlies tend to be further north and to the west. You're gone too far somehow if you find Polar bears. \n\nThere are other critters to mention, but they're more active in the summer, like rattle snakes. (Yes, we have them)\n\nOkay, so you got past the border, and you actually somehow managed to survive the winter temps in your trek to some sort of civilization. Now you have to somehow find a place to live. This is of course assuming you decided to try to bypass all our border security of course. You could go to an embassy and declare asylum I guess. But right now, you're more likely to be given a ticket back to where you came from initially. So that's not something in the game plan for you. What then?\n\nWelcome to being homeless. Oh, and you're still having to deal with our winter temperatures. \n\nSuffice to say, right now is not a good time to be trying to ignore our laws just to do whatever you want. Consider this a fair warning, as this about all the F's I have to give over it all in regards to your safety. I just am dismayed that some of you mouth breathers are going to get your kids harmed because of it all as well.

“Who knew mass deportation was so complicated” -Trump \n\nYou latinos that voted for Trump should realize that Trump isn’t encumbered by concerns about being re-elected. The voters have no leverage on him any longer. And he’s not big on laws or rules or nuance or details. And his SCOTUS just recently made him a King. So it’s gonna be much simpler to just grab people who look Latino and bus them to Mexico. Say what? You were born in the US and are a legal citizen? Well not anymore, birthright citizenship doesn’t count if your parents or grandparents can’t prove their legal status. Your “citizenship” is illegally predicated per new DHS secretary Stephen Miller. So you became illegal too when Trump won Pennsylvania. So sad. \n\nYou probably should have thought a bit more carefully before you put your trust in a serial liar and criminal. \n\nTa-ta.

Remain in Mexico applies to arriving aliens applying for asylum, not asylum seekers who have already been admitted. The latter contravenes federal immigration law, and that's something that a President can't do via executive order. As well, if we deport asylum seekers to a different country, or make asylum seekers wait in another country as their asylum cases are adjudicated, the US government is STILL responsible for providing essential resources and ensuring their safety (this includes providing migrant centers) and the US cannot impede on their right to counsel - and by virtue of making them stay in another country that doesn't HAVE US immigration attorneys, this DOES impede their access to legal council, which is an immediate infringement on civil rights and a key reason why Remain in Mexico was challenged up to the Supreme Court and was kept from fully going into effect.

Why wouldn’t we deport them? Deport the whole Biden/Harris cabinet as well for helping to cause this disaster.

Throw out the “asylum seekers” as well! Let them deal with their own problems!

Well ypu can say goodbye to coming here at all. Yall are being sent back as soon as he's in office. And its crazy how they are so selfish to want to be here but not want it for others.

Prices of fruits and vegetables will be reduced under President Trump immigration reform... Americans will have more jobs and also the energy and gas ⛽ Prices will reduce as well ? lets go Trump

They won't be comming here,Canada will be deporting many as well

When veggies end up costing loads of money oh well

He said they have to come back in legally.. some of them came in legally to begin with.. and the ones who voted for him… well I hope you’re happy, cause you voted for denaturalization of citizens

Well Americans did it to themselves by voting for Donald Trump.

Hahahaha. You foolish people when businesses close down because they have no one picking fruit and vegetables. Well you were crying over eggs and gas. I guess your kids will not be eating fruit and vegetables. But wait RFK Jr. Will fix that with no vaccinations

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 ❤

All I can say is goodbye and good luck!! They got what they wanted so oh well!!

75 million Americans want this as well

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

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.

He now has to deal with a female president of Mexico as well.. and we know that women are stronger than man. Trump is making a lot of friends in the world right now and it’s gonna get complicated for him and with the American people.
