Before you deport, look up to data how much they pay in taxes

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.

They keep saying: we’re going to deport every single one. They have never said how. \n\nThey need to detain them, have them processed then deporte them. I wonder how much would that be for 13 million people?

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.

Get them out, then they turn around and come back in illegally. Plus, where are they going to take them to? They gonna drop them off at the airport in their country are the countries gonna allow American planes to land there? There is so much more to it. What about abandoned properties and homes that people can’t afford to pay for because your family members are deported or cars that are left on the street because they’re deported jobs that aren’t filled anymore who’s gonna fill them because they’re deported there’s so much more to this what about just trying to make more people legal in America? We obviously need the workers because a lot of Americans don’t want to do what they do. There’s gotta be an easier way to do this.

Did... he just say that there are some 12 million illegal or otherwise undocumented people in this country but that they've never committed a crime here? Was he even listening to himself? Where does this dis-connect come from? As bad as Trump is, and I hoped he would not win last week, this is the 1 single thing that I agree has got to be done: If you are in this country illegally, you need to be deported no excuses no anchor-babies no nothing! You do not get to just waltz into my house sack out on my sofa decide you like living in my house and get to stay, that's not how this works! ps. I was not far from where the Mexican National Mass Shooter killed 5 of his neighbors here in Texas last year, he was previously deported 4 times and had come right back again, his wife was here illegally his best friend who tried to hide him from authorities was here illegally and 4 out of 5 of his victims were ALSO here illegally and you just cannot make this stuff up people! We have a problem in this country and it's not necessarily rooted in racism... who's fault is it that the vast majority of people in this country are of Hispanic ethnicity? It sure ain't my fault, I'm just against letting people who enter or are otherwise in my country illegally stay and I don't much care who they look like or where they came from!

Bill Clinton deported 11 million and Obama not a much but a lot. Where was the freak out back then.

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.

They will make noise but reality will dictate much smaller goals than they have. IT is just as practical if they say they will give every American 1 Million dollars so everyone is a millionaire. STUPID is as STUPID does. Mass deportation is a logical and resource nightmare. War is about resources and logistics and this war is not winnable on deportation, they will rely on terrorism and fear more than practicality.

Let’s be clear here, DJT has outlined a complete multi pronged attack righting the Constitutional Republic that is USAINC. Deporting Invaders is simply one prong of that plan. Canada must raise so much Hell and so loudly that Fidel’s Boy is Forced to an Election. Our next political strategy here is to use our midterms to cleanse the House and Senate of the ScumBag Club of RINO “republicans” and continue to flip seats until the postmodern marxists are fully irrelevant in our government.

“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.

How hard is it to deport and replace the illegals with legal immigrants if you care so much about jobs being affected also shame on you all for being pro slavery an racist for wanting the illegals to work on your farms like it's the slavery days. Yall are the white farmers that owned black slaves rn SICK!!!

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?????

There are about 800,000 police in the ENTIRE Country... If there are 16,000,000 illegals in the country, Each Police person would have to stop whatever they are doing and, on average, capture 20 illegals... Given that each of these captured people are entitled to plead their case before a judge, How many people will actually be deported before Trump exits??? How much will that cost??? and What happens to the USA while all the Police are engaged in doing Trump's wishes??? What they don't tell us about The Wall is that it's been breached more than 3,000 times and the climate in that area is already degrading the metal and concrete... Trump tried this before in his first term and could not get it done... What makes this Senator think it's going to work this time???

How much does it cost to deport people?

Option 1 we gonna SPEND a HUGE amount of money to deport millions of people. \nOption 2 we filter out high crime immigrants and filter those out, after we charge $20000 each illegal for a 2 year visa and work permit as a trial time, and see how they contribute to society. \n Do you have any idea how much money will come in?? It will close 1/4 of your countries deficit.\n Look I'm an immigrant myself, and I was brought in legally as a kid. However because of the difficulties or the bureaucracy I was left out of status. The company I worked for (a delaship) wants me back, customers reach out to me directly because they trusted me and were happy with my performance as their advisor. But guess what I can't work, but I also can't be deported because my country of birth is at war. And I dont want to go back quite frankly because it's back there I'm gonna be an alien more than I am here. I finished a degree and paid my way through collage here I grew up here, and even though because of the problems of the immigration system I was constantly limited with basic equal opportunities I still see this as my home, and actually appreciate this country more than some people I know that were born here. \n Now again - I suffered plenty with being limited as an immigrant here and I was forced to work shitty heavy labor for years and years, I worked overtime plenty with no overtime pay and such (y'all just have no idea what immigrants life is) and in my case - I got stuck in that status for 2 decades. Where I could have had a high degree by now, I instead have been just busting my ass for peanuts. I never asked for any help from the government here even when I could have, never filed unemployment. \nAnd after all this you gonna deport me? Great fucking plan. Land of brave and opportunity ??

Only the criminals are going to be deported. From there cooler heads will prevail. Trump said as much. CNN saying all the things they do is a threat to Democracy. Trump has the popular vote, all the swing states and yet CNN is trying to delegitimize Trumps victory. Think about it, this constant attacks on Trump is CNN's own Jan 6th. Using Think and CNN in the same sentence is a oxymoron though.

Hey Banks America has violent criminals as well stupid. And as far as the deportation, riddle me this idiot, How are you going to find the ones that the idiot Gov of Texas transported to cities around America on buses and planes? Dana asked you twice, How are you going to do it?? all I heard was the same rhetoric and stupid BS answer. America voted for hate and stupidity because that is what they want, then later they can cry wolf. Trump supporters are stupid, gullible and have no sense of understanding much less direction.

How much will it cost each American per illegal deported?

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

And still there is no actual problem with immigrants. They pay in more than they cost.\n\nWeird how people think they cost too much, but will happily cheer for wasting millions times that much on pointless walls and deportations.\n\nThen the labor market will collapse, Americans can't work as hard as immigrants! See that every single day, just no actual problems with immigrants as a whole.\n\nThe power of churches and television, folks.

Trump says he's going to deport 11 million people and he doesn't care how much money is going to cost taxpayers

I don't think these latinos realize how much many liberals support border control, deportation and denaturalization. They will be running back to the Dems in 2028 with their tails between their legs.

Latino brother's and sisters hide your wife and hide your kids! Hide your uncles and aunties too. Oh yea, hide your brother and sisters! Definitely hide your cousins and friends! Hate black people so much voted to have your own families split. I voted for kamala but for women rights. If you are naturalized and harboring an illegal you can go to prison and loose your rights here and be deported as well. So long suckers, next election the latino vote will be compromised because millions of you are about to be split and the rest will hate you. In fact, you will hate yourselves while we laugh at you. 20% of black men voted for trump to get you out because they believe you were stealing their jobs. ? Now the black community gonna watch and laugh as you have been trumped! We have endured more as black people here and have more protections! Not so fun when the rabbit got the gun! So long!

How much is mass deportations going to cost?? We did not hear anything about it.

get there families deported and see if they still support the president they admire so much

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.......

Trump will deport the undocumented immigrants in the past 3 years plus. I don’t believe that Trump won’t bother much to do anything with the ones who have been in the US for more than a decade.

? fake news is lying once again Trump said he wants to deport illegal aliens in this country why does blue hate the law so much ?

Where is Trump going to send them ? If Mexico, Cuba, or any other country won't accept them...what will he do? Do any of you know how much it will cost ? To deport 1 million illegals, it is estimated to cost billions ! It's not enough. Trump left the office after adding 7 trillion to the deficit?

They never should have been here in the first place. They have already cost us too much get them out! Mass deportation sounds great.

She’s going to b deported first. A lot of immigrants think now that I’m here don’t allow anymore. She is clueless as to how much she’s hated in real life.

Wow! Trump has brainwashed these Hispanics. Trump will put Hispanics in camps. They cannot deport all those people so they will be put in camps like what Hitler did. What makes this woman think Steven Miller will not deport her. MAGA is an alt right white Christian cult, if you are not white, able bodied, non Christian you will be brutally suffer. Trump calls Hispanics vermin just like Hitler brainwashed Germans to believe Jews carry disease. Trump has even used that fear mongering. Women will die because of not getting life saving D&Cs from miscarriages. D&C is what abortion is. These extreme zealot evil faux Christians are not pro life when women and children have no longer access to Obgyns. Obgyns are leaving US and med students refuse to become one because too much risk of going to jail for 20 years to save a woman and baby’s life. These MAGA are ignorant and uneducated. Trump loves the ignorant. He uses them and despises them at the sane time. He is a Putin’s friend and has ties to the Russian mafia and KGB going back to the 80’s.

FREEZE IT and DEPORT many, Reduction won't do very much. People in power are so clueless

Trudeau’s fault. Like his dad he takes in too much immigration but not like his father who deported criminals to Florida

Too many in already, the question is how many are actually helping Canada grow or just squatting or causing headaches for locals? Have they started deporting undesirables? Majority could not afford housing, too expensive. High cost of living is too much for people getting base pay. Trudumb caused this disaster. The government needs to be revamp.

They aren’t slashing they are making a small cut. It’s not going to be enough to make a difference and allowing any amount of people in is only going to make things worse. A Trump election win and his promise of mass deportation is going to bring a flood of asylum seekers that will make what we have seen so far look like nothing. They plan to go after the criminals first so they will be in the first wave. Crime is going to get so much worse that there won’t be any point in even keeping track.

I was shocked when this lady said some of her family have been here for years yet instead of her wanting them to have the chance to become citizens she'd rather they get deported! Has she listened to Trump say round them up by any means necessary even if you have to shoot them? Does she dislike her family this much that she don't care about their lives because she feel they are illegal? I believe in following the law but some laws are wrong and need to be changed! She shows no love or empathy for her family!

1.) the bureaucratic red tape to get into the country “legally” is so much more than it was 30-40 years ago (not to mention the Mexican government being even more corrupt). If it was so easy to get in “legally” (just waiting days in line), don’t you think people would just do it?\n2.) if you’re deported, if often comes with a ban on returning (or even applying to return) of 15-20 (even longer?) years. Any family members of hers that are deported would, effectively, never be allowed back again.

He will deport her also, she is guilty from having contact with criminal, sheltering them, thats illegal with that breaking a law, means she will be deported also, if deported they will not be elligable to apply aga8n, so she stands to just go ahead and move back to mexico without the husband probably who paid her way? Yes i am bias, on a immagrant not watching how Trump works, and feel she is deserving yet others not so much, goodbye you arevnot American madem or qualified, sell out

She will be deported with her family according to Trump. As a Hispanic woman, born and raised in the US, but none of that will matter. I have already been discriminated by Trump supporters who know nothing about me. This woman is illiterate...blind to the fact that he doesn't care and his minions will back him up. It doesn't matter how long she stood in line. There is so much hate and ignorance in his Maga followers. ??? VOTE BLUE. ???

I am an Indian. I just want t ask did Canada's Government call Indian students for killing ?? \nAs Indian students spend too much money by selling their properties. If you people deport them Then their parents and whole family will commit suicide. There are so many poor families who can't bear this huge loss. In COVID-19 Indian students pay huge amount of money to built Canadian Economy . If youdeport the All Indian students then Millions of families will commit suicide. I request the Canadian people please don't deport Indians. We are not terrorist. We came here because of your govt. We Indians are not your enemies.

Deport them !! They’re asking too much now ????

I strongly believe that the government of Canada will never deport that much people, trust me! At the end of the day, the government will create a new immigration regulation to accomodate international students, just wait and see!

Nothing to worry much by the end of 2024, 130000 work visa immigrants will be deported back because of there visa getting expired.

Deport them asap . These guys are causing so much trouble for Canada and US.

Canada took in too many. It’s cost us too much money and too many jobs and made life here worse. Time for the government to admit it didn’t work and change course.\n\nThere should be a major political party campaigning on large scale deportations

Immigration is literally the root of all issues we are having today. I will go as far as saying that it has been bad even before Trudeau, but Trudeau made it much worse 1000 times over. We should only bring immigrants in that: 1) Will assimilate and truly want to be Canadian. Adopt our values and traditions and speak our language. 2) Have something to offer to Canada, either fill jobs that Canadians can't fill, or have a degree or specialty that will help the country. 3) Should be from multiple countries, not just India or Philippines. 3) Should not be from a third World Country or be poor. They should have the same values as Canada to start. Otherwise they will cause trouble and crime here. \nAnything short of that should not be allowed in or should be deported. We need to control our border to protect against invasions.

As much as it is a Canadian issue, India and its ultra-nationalistic media need to ponder this. With all this GDP narrative of Indias being bigger than than many of the developed nations and how India is being projected as the next superpower, what is the need for legal and illegal migrants to take such a step. What is the pressure for such a large number of people to take such a risk, when most, if not all, will be deported back to India. I have the same question to China as well. Their state controlled media is naming and shaming US, Canada snd some European nations, while their migrants legal/illegal are pouring into US through Mexico. This is a fact that over 100 Chinese illegals were deported in a large charted flight back to whereever they came from as recent as last week of June 2024. I know I'll get a lot of nationalistic chest beating bots denying this, but it's not like the US/Canadian citizens are entering countries illegally in such numbers.
