Sad to say trump is right i have my reasons 1 come in legally its bad enough that the USA dont want to hire ppl from the USA but are quick to hire an imigrant for lower pay 2 its bad enough that this country is going to shambles and there is enough going on to worry about anyone other than the people from this country, 3 its illegal to do anything that is not right being an undocumented resident is illegal period so if an American cannot break the law no one that comes from another country without documents should be here period

Why is the media acting like this is a surprise? Its what Trump ran on and its what the American people WANT! How is this so hard for people to understand? This wasn't some hidden agenda or anything, it was very clear, and PEOPLE WANT IT. He won the popular vote and electoral college. We don't want illegals here, plain and simple. Look at Europe, Sweden is offering Immigrants $34,000 To Leave Country, they let them in, gave them housing, taxpayer money, realized the mistake and now offering MORE tax money for them to LEAVE!

Jobs were made by BIDEN and Harris....Trump will send 11 Million back...Jobs nobody wants to do... The economy will collapse...1930 all over again...and worse.\nTariffs will be paid by the Americans...Trump does not know how Tariffs work ...\nTrump cannot end a war in 24 hours like Ukraine - Russia...\nTrump has no knowledge of anything...we will see a clown cabinet....like Dana White, Lil Pump, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Joe Rogan...and the criminal Trump Family...\nThe End of America is near...?????????

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

I voted for this. I want this. This is long overdue. Come here legally like you have to do in every other country on the planet. American Sovereignty is restored.

Trump is going to do whatever the F he wants to do for the next 4 years . That’s what white nationalist and racist Americans want him to do . He doesn’t care and he’s going to be supported no matter what\nStop asking this guy questions you already know the answer to.

Deporting undocumented immigrants will cause many small businesses to struggle. Who will do the work that most people don’t want to do—like agricultural jobs, dishwashing, and lawn care? Undocumented immigrants contribute more to this country than many realize, and they also pay taxes through their purchases. Food prices will rise if we deport them because most Americans won’t take these jobs for low wages. If Americans take on these roles, they are likely to demand higher pay, which would increase costs across the board. In the end, we would be hurting ourselves and our finances. It’s already challenging enough, with many Americans living paycheck to paycheck. I believe that a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants would be a serious mistake.

And when you don’t have people to do the labor that non of the Americans want to perform; then don’t be complaining that the economy went to shit. The business, farmers and manufacture that voted for Trump without thinking on their own interested they are for an rude awakening. Watch and see.. I can wait for June 20 to see Doni in action..

Why don’t Americans want people from other countries to enjoy the “freedom” and “democracy” that the US has? Aren’t they proud of their country to want to share it with others? I’d say if people want to come to the US, they should have a background check and prove that they can be an asset to the nation.

These Racist Congressmen, are so ignorant about the Majority Reason, why people come to this country. The Majority come because, they want a better life for themselves, and their family. They don't leave their Native Country because they want to take a Vacation to the U.S. They have every Right, to Seek A Better Future. This Country is for Every Human Being! People from All Walks Of Life, are here to STAY! Everyone has come to USA, from around the World! The Only Native Americans, were the Indians, that were here, before Christopher Columbus arrived! Did they tell Cristopher Columbus, go back to Italy, you are not Welcome Here? No Ignorant People, they ateTHANKSGIVING TOGETHER! It seems, that many people didn't learned History in School. They just went to fool around, and stay dumb! It's Ashamed!

Trump won the popular vote of the entire country. Illegals are not wanted here, we want Americans helped. NOT illegals who came here illegally and want free everything. Not any other country does this. This is OUR Country, not the whole world’s country. Trump ??????

Remember those Puerto Ricans (American Citizens) and legal Haitians that Trump demonized and wanted to deport? Yeah, goodluck!

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.

the American people ????? not all the American people wants this sir

This Woman has NO idea what she's talking about. The American people can't control where these illegals run to. You don't want them in Canada? Ship them out

You may want to vet those already here but working instead of simply kicking them out. No American will work sun up to sun down picking crops, or working in a lot of these restaurants. If you think groceries and McDonald's is high now you ain't seen nothing yet.

You CNN liberals can't do shit, \nThe republicans has won the presidency, popular vote,senate, house, supreme court the power is too much for them that anything they want to do will go easily for them including mass immigration, the economy amd inflation it will shock the Americans people of what trumps first year will look like and the entertainment is gonna be real\nI can't wait to grab my popcorn for trump to lecture cnn reporters and this time his gonna take no shit

Impose special tax on El8n Musk and MAGA who wanted Trump and give out subsidies to American people to buy groceries.

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?????

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.

Deport millions of illegal immigrants is a goal. However, many of them are working in farms or constructions. Without them, we may face a big shortage of labors. And, those industries may suffer because most of the Americans don't want to do this kind of works.

Trump will have a big talk with this fool. This is NOT Trumps plan AT ALL. Listen to Trumps speech after he won the election. He has been VERY clear on helping illegals without criminal records who want to work find a pathway to citizenship. This is in no way representative of Donald Trumps plan. Trump and most Americans want to deport the illegals with criminal records. Even if he tried there is no way to deport all illegals.

Not every US American voted for Trump! He is only focused on what 50 percent of US Americans who voted wanted!

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.

Jesus Christ this is ridiculous. American food producers and farmers will have to pay an American citizen twice as much to do the same job an immigrant was doing. Their labor costs will skyrocket. Who is going to pay the difference? Not Trump. \n\nYou wanted affordable groceries. You morons went and voted for the exact opposite.

I'm so tired of hearing you have a mandate. Half the country disagrees. Ignoring them will put you on the receiving end of the feeling when voters wake up and realize what every economist has said ‐ his plans will cause inflation and cripple the economy. \nBusinesses are already closing because we can't find Americans who want to work. So let's take away more workers.\nAnd how anyone can talk about immigration issues with a straight face when trump was the one who called to kill the bill and all the Republicans bowed down to their god. No respect for any of them.

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN doesn't understand how this will implode the economy.\nTHE AVERAGE AMERICAN doesn't understand what a 2 TRILLION DOLLAR hole in our GDP looks like.\nTHE AVERAGE AMERICAN who voted for this, must want $20 bananas, $30 buckets of strawberries. \nHave fun with that.

75 million Americans want this as well

Why are democratic governors and mayors trying to keep illegal immigrants, who have committed violent crimes against American women ,children and men from being deported? Why do they want these people to stay and continue to commit crimes against American citizens? Why continue to destroy America?

As first generation American all this endless whining is getting old. When my family came here, they all had to have a health certificate and a sponsor that guaranteed they would have employment and housing waiting for them when they got here. If not, they weren’t going to be allowed on the boat to start with. No free housing, health care, food or education. \n \n\n So what part of ILLEGAL ALIEN isn’t being understood. This kind of nonsense isn’t allowed in virtually any other country on the planet. Try to cross into Mexico or Canada illegally and see where you end up. The argument is Americans don’t want to do the jobs that the illegals do yet back in the day Americans did do these jobs. The problem is too many Americans today think jobs that require physical labor are beneath them and too many are getting paid way too much for what the job they’re doing entails. Sorry but flipping burgers and asking if you want fries with that IS NOT a job worth $15 or $20 bucks an hour.

I voted for Harris and despise Trump, however, I'm hoping Repubs do exactly what they've been wanting to do for YEARS, which is to finish their fence/wall along the ENTIRE border, deport ALL illegal/undocumented migrants, many of them Trump supporters, and shut about the stupid border already!! Americans are exhausted with the topic!!! I live in Arizona, I know of some illegal migrants close to me, they support Trump, and I'll be calling ICE on them on Jan 21st and will demand they get deported, and will work to find ALL migrants who supported Trump, and get them out of here!! Trump will crash the economy again, of course, so Dems will have to come in and clean it up again, as they always do after Republicans.

How can it be controversial to want to get rid of illegal immigrants? People who literally broke the law coming here??? If Americans break the law we go to jail and can’t work and are a cost in the average tax payer by being in jail but they got no issue locking us up. But how dare we expect the same standard is held to NON citizens in this country.

Jim Banks I hope you are ready to have white Americans to get down on their knees in hot, unbearable weather to pick the nation's fruits and vegetables, work in low paying hospitality jobs and many others no one wants. All these barbaric policies are going to come back and bite many many people who voted for Trump in the ass! Let's see content the country is after 18 months of Trump and his minions.

That’s what Americans want

There is already plenty of jobs American's are lazy and don't want to work those jobs.

Its not as simple as deporting all illegals, All those who complain about inflation, now get ready for for the unseen/ unsaid issues th at come along with this way of doing things, it is tied into the economy and will have enormous impacts of pricing and manufacturing. If you thought it is inflation and the caused by the last admistration, tou are sadly mistaken. Those who do the job for products and farm the food you eat will now no longer exist, and the americans who do no not want to do those jobs, no have no one to do them, and hence chaos will ensue, just like how majority of american manufacturing....ie Snapon, Briggstraton. Etc has all gone over seas to make the easy money out of greed and now puts blame on china as they knew making pennies on the dollar is profitable, but not realizing the consequences of doing so as you lose control of what American made product and now in the hands of foreign countries to do whatever they want and there is nothing you can do about it, as its happening right now in china with companies as Apple, etc are finding out it may be profitable but comes at a price when you do business on foreign soil and you have just lost control. Those who dont know why the border must have a swinging door which swings both ways, as All companies take advantage of south of the border because of vheap labor and laxed regulation so they can get away with what they can get away on us soil. Now you get someone like chump who has zero tolerance and no political experience run it like a business with out understanding of the consequences that comes with actions done with out beabke to compromise. You all complain about inflation, now get ready in your everyday lives, from manufacturing, to groceries, to dining out, and be prepared to pay alot more because now, no one is going to do thise jobs as the so called americans didnt want to do those jobs, as its always gone unspoken that hey they are doing it, and reeps the fruits of the laborors and could care less until it got out of hand as of today. Look what happen when chump when to tax steel and pork for china, its get s aunforseen blow black that you dont see right away. Same now with border. Now you have a Grossly unfit, Unqualified, W'reckless and dangerous individual who has zero clue/experience about politics on a path of ignorant destruction under the cloat of misguided senses it will fix a major problem that has gone on for decades. Is there a . Is chump qualifed to doa and fix it, absolutely not. It has bees just 4 years, as serious as pandemic, look at how he grossly mishandled the situation. Now get ready for more of the same and worst. Its not about politics, its also about right and wrong, good and bad and be able to compromise those complicated issues for a decent medium. Now it will be a total fuck up and get ready for all sensless nonsenses to take place and be ready for the once great United States to fall into despair. This is what all the voting who'ha was about. Now you get to live it and hope in the 4 years the damage wont be soo extreme that we cant go back and unfuck it. Some very dark times are ahead for this country at the helm of a lunatic. After the 4 years, chump will be 82 and could careless the carnage he left behind, as that the way he is a a person who has been taught to have no empathy and to win at all cost despite the consequences. Now, on the world stage where all look to the US, it will be a sad gloomy time with all madness we are about to enbark. This country needs to1st get off its ass and do the work and stop sitting on their asses to complain about it as they do that so well, so now get ready to lie in the bed youve made. Huh! maga?, watch as the US comes apart and divided under chump. The inflatiin you all complain about is now going to be far worst..and every and anything which is mostly will be affected substantially. You are mad about pricing now, people will now have to worry even more...and it will get out of hand. The crime and thieving will now be even more pronounced. When was the last time you had an American pick and facilitate your groceries, or do the cheap paid jobs?. Now you all have to do this youselves. So if you thought it was bad before you are sure in for a rude awakening...as now you have a sitting president who is not a convicted felon, but one who has been given immunity to consequences and no compromise which is a recipe for disaster

We the people did NOT send a mandate to remove undocumented immigrants.\nFACTS MATTER\nExit polling shows that:\n55% wanted undocumented immigrants to have a path to citizenship\n36% want all undocumented immigrants removed immediately\nDONT TELL US WHAT WE SAID\nEven more to the point there are at least 335m Americans\n1/5 of them were able to and voted for trump, 1/5 of them voted for Harris, and 1/5 did not vote. The other 2/5th weren't eligible to vote\nIf you want to talk about a MANDATE tell us why trump got 2% fewer votes than he did in 2020\n20% of Americans do not a MORAL mandate form

Crops will rot in the field prices will rise inflation will skyrocket deficits will outpace GDP. I understand deporting criminals but why deport farm workers and service industry employees who have been here peacefully for many years. They are doing the jobs that many Americans do not want to do.\nIf you don’t understand that then you are not thinking about what is best for the country and hard working immigrants.

we thank the coperate press and news networks like CNN,for all the hatred and division they have planted into American hearts all because of one man-TRUMP\nEven after the elections,CNN is still trying to tell the world that black and hispanic people that voted for Trump have voted for a doom day for their children.\nI can only imagine how much division that news networks like CNN will bring to this country now that Trump is president.\nInstead of analyzing the Truth why American people overwhelming voted for Trump and trashed the current administration,CNN wants Americans to hope that Trump is coming for everyone.\nTHIS NATION WANTS TO HEAL AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITH DAILY DIVISION AND HATRED COMING FROM THE PRESS EVEN AFTER THE ELECTIONS.THEY ARE NOT EVEN READY TO GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE EVEN AFTER 80% OF THE COUNTRY HAS CHOSEN HIM.

Dear, you are trying to bring humanity into this conversation. You wont find it. He is right. The American people vote for inhumanity. They want this.

cnn listen !!! you are focusing to illegal immigrants who killings American. not to a person wants to protect Americans. !!!;

Murderer from Colombia Released Into U.S. by ICE After Crossing Border Illegally \nMay 22, 2024 \n \nThe recent arrest of Efrain Vidales Vargas, a convicted murderer from Colombia, is another example of the perilous consequences of the Biden administration’s failure to secure our borders. \n \nVargas, who entered the U.S. illegally near Yuma, Arizona, in November 2023, was initially detained but subsequently released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). \n \nVargas is wanted in Colombia on charges of aggravated homicide, aggravated theft and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was convicted and sentenced to 17 years in prison on September 29, 2016. \n \nICE knew about Vargas’ murder conviction in Colombia and extensive criminal history. An ICE officer on December 11, 2023, even noted his conviction in Columbia, but two days later, he was released with a notice to appear and allowed to roam freely in the United States. This was apparently due to a “national bed space shortage caused by the Southwest border surge.” \n \nThis incident is a glaring example of how the current administration’s open-border policies jeopardize the safety of Americans and undermine the rule of law.\nSOURCE, FAIR US org

America has Spoken. We want them Deported. American Citizens are the government Priority not illegals.

nice lady- he can offend my people all he wants as long as I'm dandy? just goes to show you the absolute selfishnes that has taken over american culture. Me first. and dont give a $hit about ANYONE else? sad bleak outlook

Anytime something happens they want to blame immigrants. it happened in the great depression, we were blamed for taking jobs and they deported many mexican Americans that had to be later repatriated same crap again immigrants being blamed for stuff and again mass deportation, I want to see white children working the fields and the service jobs

People keep using fear mongering by talking about denaturalization and how it can strip your citizenship and depot you against your will. And while that may be true, that only applies to those who got their citizenship through naturalization....and there are many other ways to get a citizenship lol. Granted I don't agree with his massive deportation stance at all. I just also don't want everybody to freak out without knowing the facts. I saw U.S born citizens (I am speaking about other races that white people) freaking out that they may lose their citizenship ?. Which is hilarious, because you CAN NOT lose your citizenship if you were born here unless you decide yourself to get a citizenship in a different country lol. So to all the latino, asian, african american, indian, etc people that were BORN in the united states.....please stop freaking out. Denaturalization isn't going to affect you lol.

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.

I can tell all the comments on this panel were made by President Trump's haters. Love all God's Creation, but, please, watch out for your neighbor. Help everybody you can, including the animals. All these people don't have to be in this Country. They have their own, why can't they make their country a much better place for them and their families to live. Look at the way they are acting. They came as guest, now they are acting like they are the owners. Are you so blinded by hate for this man who loves his Country so much, that you can't see the danger we are in with this illegals in our Country? What are you going to do when you won't have a place to live with your families or can't pay for your needs, because there are no housing or jobs, because everything that belong to you were given to them? What about the crimes they are doing in our communities. They are not here to HELP US, they are here to take what it's ours and replace us. There's not any worse than a blind, who don't want to see. These people are destroying our Beautiful Country and all we can do is hate this President, who the only thing he wants to do is save it for us. He doesn't need anything, we do need and we have to take care of what we have or we will lose it. Oh, by the way, we can't go to their Countries and live there, because they hate Americans. And we are a bunch of ingrates and don't appreciate the Blessings that God Almighty gifted us and President Trump is one of those Blessings, in Jesus Name, AMEN.

These comments are ridiculous, do you think all Latinos are illegal??? The ones that voted for Trump want the illegals deported to because they are Americans! Sheesh!! I'm black and if they start deporting illegal Africans it ain't no skin off my back! My family will stay here with me! Wow!
