Secure the border? Yes. Prioritize deporting those who have committed crimes? Yes. But remember that the American economy relies heavily on foreign labour so the process of dealing with illegal immigrants needs to include dramatically increasing the number of immigration officials to get the productive, employed illegals some kind of legal status. The import tariffs are going to cause inflation. Taking away productive workers will further inflate prices.\n\nThen, of course, there’s the illegal immigrants who are entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. Washington Post reports, and Elon’s brother confirmed, that they entered the US illegally although they do now have legal status in the US. Elon had a student visa to do graduate studies at Stanford but he never signed up for a single course. Instead he created a startup. So he didn’t comply with his student visa and he was working illegally. Quite the hypocrite. Should Elon Musk be deported for his illegal entry back in the 1990s? There’s no evidence he committed any other crimes so perhaps not. But if not, then just treat all the illegals with the same consideration.

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?

What's quiet about pack up your going home. But trump is wrong ice is a targeted org they just can't go ask for paper ? they need warrants

What about all the jobs that illegals do plus all the money they spend? They need to figure out a way to help them become legal citizens or go home...I only worry about the criminals here.

Won't it cost to build camps to house them, who will feed all these people, will have to pay the gaurds who gaurd them, theyll need t-paper etc. Our workers will be gone, what will that do food will be scarce price will go up. They add millions to our budget, they can't file a tax return, they shop. A massive deportation is going to be a massive hit to the economy. Just sayin

All who have visa and over staying here to need for go away from here to.

If you broke the law, you will suffer the consequences of your actions. I know thats a really hard concept for some to understand. We dont need to rely on illegal aliens for cheap labor. Plenty of Americans that are able go to work. Yes all illegal alien needs to go, and because they came illegally, never allowed to legally enter again.

These republicans are clowns. They have no plans to deport these people because these people are needed in agriculture. Not going to happen and Rubio knows this. This is why he wants to categorize removal. These republicans are scared that Trump will tank our economy.

these gangs are going to fight. they have guns, this is what Biden cause. We will need the Army to fight this invasion.

Canada Chor pro terrorist country hai, no need to waste money to go there.

People need to look at the bigger picture. This is the lack of critical thinking. Poor management. When grocies and goods go up, dont cry this is what you voted for.

Come on men we aren't going to make a better name for ourselves by attempting to defend the actions of Epstein, Elon Musk, Putin, or Trxmp. They're the worst of us. We shouldn't be dragged through their shxt every time we show our faces or dare to want anything but we don't need to defend _them._ We definitely don't need to give them access to power.

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.

Don’t come to Canada we have our own high cost of living here and need government change too! Go to Mexico cheaper.

I actually agree that this needs to to happen. But if you put on your tin-foil hat, you could imagine that the infrastucture and procedures to make this happen could easily be used on political enemies if Herr Trump decides to go full on dictator and bring America into martial law.

LOL!! I can’t help but notice this lady says “we need to take back OUR country” AFTER she’s secured her “GREEN CARD”!! Not sure if she realizes that many Americans consider people not born here as “outsiders” whether you have a “green card” or not!! SHE IS VERY LUCKY SHE ALREADY HAS HER “GREEN CARD” OR she’d be one of the many going back to their own country soon! \n\nPretty sure TRUMP views ANYONE who wasn’t born here doesn’t belong here, EXCEPT HIS & J.D. VANCE’s SPOUSES OF COURSE! But I think he may be concentrating on people that came in under Biden’s Administration for now??

If they can’t fire everyone of these people at ICE, they need to banish to a boring powerless position in the basement. Make ICE great again ?? USA. ?? Does this guy know he’s going to not have job for much longer? You can’t have ICE ran by a guy who’s going to make it intentionally difficult\n\nAnd yes they shouldn’t get “due process” because if you take away the very weak standards they had to let people in in the first place and pass their court hearing, they shouldnt get past.\n\nDid you know legal immigrations have to pass a physical and they require a whole host of vaccines and even - so far - 2-3 shots of a covid vaccine depending on type. They even require a yearly flu shot! I hope they take that requirement away soon. No one is talks about mandating LEGAL immigrations have to get the covid vaccine. But the point is ILLEGAL immigrants aren’t expected to any of these. \n\nNot to mention that legal immigrants, but presumably not TRUE Asylum seekers, have to pay THOUSANDS of dollars to get a green card. \n\nGee I wonder why so many legal Latino immigrants would be pissed that the had to work so hard and pay so much, and these assholes let millions of the 3rd world in with so little requirements that tens of thousands of violent criminals were let in. So much so that Venezuelan gangs were able to take over multiple apartment blocks and hold the occupants hostage and demand “rent” from them.

I wish Canada would build a wall at our southern border, keep out the 75 million maga people unfortunately both America and Canada need each other but your orange con artist is going to try hard to disrupt the long good relationship we have had it’s to bad hopefully we can make it through the next 4 years

This guy talking will have to wait and see if it’s possible or not to deport that many people. I say they won’t get them all but at least 60% of them NEED to go home.

Trudeau can stop it, if he wanted to. Trudeau needs to go, then we can be safe again.

No sure if the country is aware that Trump needs to bankrupt the country first before all gets better. Buckle up it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

If you a rat catcher, always gonna be a rat, who smart. And. You can go after it and he/she outsmart you and you lose sleep, OR you can identify that it an unusually 'gifted' rat, with purer survival instinct, and you turn a blind eye to whatever it do or when you see it. It gonna be this way, with deporting. That why, this senator not president, at this time. WHY Trump wanna race into the White House and start signing executive orders, like this guy describe? Trump smarter this time, and he not above using illegals for his personal gain. If Trump in a rush, he still in trauma about legal issue. He need to show his confidence right away, by taking his time. Walk back into his old office, set up PS5 Pro fo son, when he on vacation. Check it some of the changes he made in White House, unchanged. Change them back. This the last term.

Ma'am advise some illegal immigrants from Mexico to go back in the line!! As a asian woman, I'm tired of these illegal immigrants coming here and feeling intitled.I stood in the line for hours to come here the right way.and Also, Trumph needs to hunt these factories, hiring illegals,and make them pay a hefty fine!! This lady is telling the truth.Put the wall.

Lock down OUR border.\n\nWHERE do you think all the TREN de ARAGUA members in NYC are gonna go, before/when the hammer falls in the US ?\n\nBack to Venezuela ???\n\nDoes Montreal and Toronto need to go thru what NYC is going through right now .... to GET it ?\n\nAre we that pathetic that we cannot learn from other peoples bad experiences ?

Here an idea how about we just dont let the ppl try to flee here in send them back to where ever courty of original came form cause we dont need the ppl just going to mess up the courty more and get suckerd into vote for li earls and ndp and we dont want that we try to get them out of the office and goveremnt there bad for canada and we also dont need more ppl fleeting here

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.

These have got to be the dumbest most delusional people on earth, it is not about legal or illegal status !!!! It has everything to do with their color !!! If it was thousands of folks from Greenland or Sweden or somewhere with white folks he wouldn’t even mention a border or illegal immigrants, when are people gonna stop being so stupid, Spanish people really screwed themselves big time with this one , especially for a man that hates them with such a passion. Remember last time when he was president and Puerto Rico had a hurricane and when people were asking him what he was gonna do to for them and he said that their own government needs to help them out because he did not know that he was their president as well and asked if they could trade Puerto Rico for Greenland ??? and than still blocked aid from them and said he did not want to give them handouts so they could lay around and be lazy, than when they finally said he needed to go because it didn’t look good , he went and stood there and just threw rolls of paper towels at them.

This has been going on for years. Also used and abused by thousands of Indians. That needs to end . No more welcome mat.

all these illegals need to go back to there own country

This is idiotic, Undocumented Immigrants paid $96 million in taxes in 2022. 50% of our agriculture workers are undocumented immigrants. Who is going to replace that workforce? Something needs to be done but this is not it. They have no plan to collect and hold the immigrants. Local Police and Sheriff departments are not equipped to nor allowed to (in some states)go chase illegals. Similar bills have been attempted before as an effort to have Police arrest illegals but it was messy and got put on hold for several reasons. No discussion of potential civil rights violations or the question of it being unconstitutional also opens the door for racial profiling. Any person of color would targeted. Most of the immigrants are not from Mexico why would any country accept them? This is the dumbest plan for immigration ever and it won't work.

I think the people of the United States should have lawsuit against Biden and Garland . They knew trump broke the law by organizing a coup on Jan 6th . Why did Biden not make garland prosecute trump. Biden and Garland ran a fraud on the American people we were fighting for democracy with our hands tied behind our backs because Biden and garland had control of the whole election if he would have been held accountable for his for the coup trump did on Jan 6th. Biden has the power to over ride this and can not be prosecuted for his actions Biden and Garland gave out democracy away we need to arm ourselves because our country was taken from us illegally someone an attorney someone had to help us or the blood will be on Biden and Garlands hands I am not willing to have my democracy taken illegally. Biden is not a hero he and Garland are traitors. It is the truth and I am not going to get assaulted by Republicans because Garland did not do his job. Send the mob to the person that let the country be taken from us. They came on tv we must save democracy when you already have it to them. I will never quit hopefully someone will be with me .

Business Republicans are going to go nuts. They need cheap labor, plus Americans don't want those jobs

Don't come here, don't want them, don't need them, we have enough that we want gone and not our responsibility, go back to were you came from. I'm Canadian First Nation's

The illegals and those harboring/protecting them! Family, Businesses, Sanctuary City Politicians + Many Democratic party members... California, Chicago, NYC + all border states need to be cleared. No Non English speaker should be able to benefit here ?? Lets Go DT ??✊?✌?

What we need to do is pass a law if you're here in United States illegally you can't do a damn thing you can't run a house you can't get a driver's licence work you can't go to the hospital you can't go to school I mean absolutely nothing

What are they running from?,oh God!,I don’t know what to say!,some genuinely need help some just going to go!?

We shouldn’t be preparing for an influx we need to prepare to close our borders. No more asylum seekers into Canada. Our resources are for the people that pay for them not for those who come here to benefit from our better standard of living. Fix things back home and then immigrate through the proper channels. We don’t need tent cities full of asylum seekers. For those that want to let all those people in then they have to go sign up to take responsibility for them with consequences if they don’t. I would bet the lineup for that would be very short.

When produce prices jump in the stores because a lack of labor? When building contractors lose a portion of there labor building houses?? When the meat processors like tyson meats and others have illegals working through labor contractors!!!! Yes those of you who say how can they work? Well \nThe corporations give lip service but use contractors to avoid legal issues and inturn labor contractors uses temps lol and other modes!! \nWe are short of labors in these fields of employment. \nId like to see our MAGA voters go out and hoe weeds ???? Or harvest lettuce or tomatoes or bell peppers or plum on 8 foot ladders all day\nOr pore foundational cement for houses? This field has tons of illegals!!!!\nYou think you just experienced inflation!!!! Ha ha. Hold on to your hats because with the extremes in weather in the produce growing areas and labor shortage reducing yield further!!!! Prices in the stores will jump!!! That house may take 6 to 8 months to move in with a 10 % jump.in the price!!!\nAnd if trump put troops on the border the new president in Mexico has stated she will close the borders. So all of those parts and components produced needed for final assembly were stop.\nUnemployment will rise as companies get smaller profits add trumps tariffs. Youll add a trade war!!!!\nPrices go up because tariffs are a tax!!!! Consumers alway get those fees back on to the end user!!!! I give it 12 to 14 months. This economy will spiral downward. By the way, Europe and China have stated they will increase tariffs on items imported from America!!!!\nSo you will have a full blown trade war and products stop being sold!!!! Come folks figure it on out!!!! This is high school basic macro economic models !!!!!!!! Not rocket science here\n,,, your angry because you just experiencedthe back side of a pandemic . Now you want to have trump give you a 1930 solution froM MR. HOOVER. !!!! REMEMBER THE DEPRESSION!!!!

If people need workers their going to have to pay more. No more cheap labor

CNN-DNC's absolute meltdown has been amazing to watch. And yes lady - every ILLEGAL immigrant needs to go.

These Republicans are going to get an earful from the businessmen/women that funded their seats when they kick out the workers those businesses need.

It’s not only the illegals . We need to stop importing doctors and IT workers from India and giving them the best jobs and pay, while our kids have to pay a fortune and get in debt for life for going to colleges for the same jobs and then having to lose their jobs to these ppl, most of which speak a broken English . America first everywhere!

Illegal mmigrants supply a workforce in: construction, agriculture and healthcare major industries that need hardworking employees. Sounds like a country that wants to go down at least a half a point in GDP growth. \n\nNothing about this makes sense.

does dana listen to herself arguing that deporting illegals will hurt businesses maybe somebody should deport her!!! This is america if you dont come legally get out plain and simple!!! Like why is this even a discussion fact is illegals broke the law sneaking into our country and they need to go

This is cruel and beyond that it's economically idiotic. Just wait until your grocery prices go through the roof. Farmers CANNOT find Americans to pick tomatoes, watermelons, etc. etc. American citizens just simply won't do the work.There are countless other industries that use undocumented workers. We are headed for a higher inflation again if this is implemented. How about immigration reform instead? How about work permits? How about paths to citizenship? We need the workers. Our legislators should do their job and come up with immigration reform rather than spend billions rounding up people and hamstringing our economy in the process. Maybe this move along with tariffs will help Americans realize that electing Trump was a mistake.

Time for us to do the same. UK has been doing deportation. Other European countries have been doing it. It's time to stop the issues surrounding national security and defence. Part of National defense is defending it's boarders. Trump is finally going to be a firm president that will defend his boarders. We don't have to fear this. We need to follow suit and do the same. This is a chance for us to work together to secure the boarders between us. We have refused to mand the boarder and actually more people cross the boarder to USA from Canada. So this is it. We refuse to deal with drugs, illegal immigrants and human trafficking. It's time to deal with it

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?????

ignoring capture costs, court costs, and shipping out costs, it costs about $65,000 a prisoner in this country. so You're looking at just 1 billion dollars on housing them.\n\nOur prisons are over crowded at 1.2 million prisoners and you want to up it to 16.2 million? How much will it cost to build those new prisons? Hint: A lot more than right now because the work force you need to build those prisons are the same people your going to put in them.

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.
