All these people are just like Trump. They only care about themselves no one else what you don’t understand is Trump’s a communist and so is our country now no more voting no more say so only what Trump says he watch how long it’ll be before Putin in our White House.

I don't think Dana understands what an illegal immigrant is. Her very questions show that she has no clue.

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.

I just don't understand how CNN and this lady are looking for reasons to justify illegal immigrants. It's not normal under any circumstance.

Doesn't she understand that being in this country illegally is a crime? Laws are not bad, people are bad, that's why we have laws. Furthermore she acts like she cares about these people when she quoted the gentleman on agriculture. They want these illegals so they can exploit them paying shit wages! Now who's unsympathetic to these people?

What a fatuous policy proposal. If this immigration policy happens, every American will regret voting for Trump. The loss of revenue from thousands of these people will cost the United States economically and socially. It's unfathomable how those who voted for Trump don't understand economics!

Too many people are so uneducated about what Trump is really going to do!! They do NOT understand how tariffs work!! Unlike Kamala’s plan to stop the price gouging in the grocery stores…the GOP will drive prices through the roof!!! Anyone who voted for Trump has a lot of moments ahead of finding out what he was claiming he would do that 1) either he can’t because he doesn’t have the authority to just play God or 2) he had not intended the results that people thought in the first place!! \nBut it is truly going to be a scary time as we watch unemployment start to skyrocket, especially as he gets rid of career government employees!! The unemployment numbers under Biden soon will be a distant memory!! After all, Biden has continued to drop unemployment numbers on a monthly basis, breaking all prior records of low unemployment on a monthly basis for the past 4 years!! The inflation rate which did not include costs of food, were also dropping consistently including this past month!! I believe it under 3% by close to 1/2 a percentage point!\nBut what will truly be frightening will truly be if he accomplishes his plan to get rid of SSI, Medicare & Medicaid as well as the Affordable Care Act!! I’m sure millions are also hoping the $35 cap on Insulin doesn’t just stop before they have to pickup their next prescription! \nBottom line: when in our History have we ever faced a more frightening future at the whim of the Dictator in the White House??

I don’t understand how the same people demanding reparations for descendants of slaves condone taking advantage of illegal immigrants for cheap sweat shop labor with no benefits or insurance. All of you businesses owners creating “success” on margins built on illegal immigration deserve a reality check.

This is going to tank GDP which will place the economy in a downward spiral which means a recession. I am amazed at the people that are in the different branches of government that do NOT understand Economics 101. This goes to show you that you do not have to have common sense to run for office. This is so dumb.

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.

Do those ignorant politicians understand there are MANY jods that Americans won't work because they are hard and dangerous with low pay. Many come into the US just for those jobs. Usually they will only stay a few years, until the saved enough, than go back to the homes. Already there are sooo many important and needed jobs that are short handed because of the racists politicians.

You got to understand. Illegal immigration’s is a number 2 business of United States. And war is a number 1.

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.

I don’t understand why illegal immigration isn’t a bipartisan issue

CNN lady doesn’t understand, he’s explaining it to her and it doesn’t compute. It’s a crime to sneak into any country. Bottom line.

It won't work. When the prices of groceries start to go up. People will truly understand.

its not hard to understand. Trump has been specifically saying for a long time he will do massive deportation. people voted for it. it’s not like trump just decided to do this.

People don't seem to understand that if you come into the country ILEGALLY (which is a crime), you will be deported. People who immigrate the right way, waiting for green cards and applying for citizenship, they will be fine.

There aren't going to be more jobs coming up here because of the tariffs that Trump is going to do in fact several companies are already canceling their Christmas bonuses for people because they are going to be pre-buying things they need to try to get ahead of the tariffs they know that are coming this isn't going to make businesses want to hire pay more money increase benefits or anything like that I don't understand why people think this is going to be some kind of economic Boone I don't understand how everyone's forgotten what happens with tariffs the first time he was in office and now he wants to do even more

There is immigration then there is illegal immigration. What don’t y’all understand? Why, old school Democrats used to be against illegal immigration. Caesar Chavez for one. Billy Clinton for another. And the list goes on and on.

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

And she doesn’t understand what it means to be deported. \n\nIf a person is deported there is no chance to re-apply for anything. \n\nThey can never return.\n\nLittle does she know they will probably be better off in Mexico than she’ll be in the US.

Don’t these people understand, they will be leaving bc of Stephen Miller only white in the USA, Project 2025 policy? \nIgnorance apparently won’t be bliss anymore.

Do they not understand that the illegals who came across the last 4 years are the ones he's actually concerned about because THEY AREN'T VETTED the ones here prior with actual paperwork if you were here during Trump and you weren't deported what does that tell you

I honestly don't understand why both parties aren't on the same page regarding illegal immigration.\n\nI mean, what part of illegal is legal? ?

The problem she can’t speak even a proper English and am sure she can’t even write her name!!!! Man I will never understand this nonsense

The 'no change' tactic – I've had a similar experience with an Indian guy. I understand the frustration, but not the behavior. My advice: go back to the store, get your change, skip the tip, and consider filing a complaint. Try to get him fired.

Imagine watching your loved ones get deported, then not understanding that you supported it...

Please deport them so next election cycle they don’t have any friends and understand how to vote for their own interest

I don't understand, is this guy concerned that he may be asked to be inhumane towards good valuable people without a piece of paper? Or is he saying he is concerned he needs a BETTER stronger way to to meet his numbers no matter what that means morally? I cannot read this man, is he going to Heaven or Hell. Make it simple for me

I dont understand why America and Canada dont come up with some form of agreement where somehow harmonize immigration and close all of North America to anyone showing up at any border. Turn them around without questions asked.

Yeah being here as an illegal means you might be deported. Every sovereign nation has the right to do so. Not hard to understand.

So now you are against your family for someone who doesn't care about you or your family. In time you will understand how many people from other countries that are here illegally will not be deported while your family will.

Now you all will understand The movie NO WAY OUT!!!

If you see this feel free to take this as a quick life long lesson. As a vet my drill sarn used to smoke us and we would have to yell this .\n\n The body will pay for what the mind doesnt comprehend. \n\nIf you dont have a full understanding of what your doing and who you are doing it for your body will pay with scars time, blood, emotions, maybe even to the point of insanity for a lesson you refuse to acknowledge and understand the consequences of your actions

Follow you just upset because you're losing your fellow voters do you know any of you understand why this happened it doesn't bother you that your votes going to be diluted if they stay how stupid are all of you

He clearly said come in LEGALLY. Twice. Not sure what lefties dont understand.

How do people not understand that illegal Immigration is good for America. We need more immigrants. More people just means a bigger economy.

I understand the criminal portion but, I find it ironic when they say criminals considering the current state of affairs. smh

I believe you made history because Elon helped you cheat, Don't understand why the democrats don't do a recount

I don't understand why they got to go to court they're not supposed to be here in the first place having said that hint the word illegal they're not supposed to be here so the court system shouldn't even have to tie into this I don't want anybody to say it would cost too much because it didn't cost too much when Biden was flying these said illegals into the United States

For all u those suburban people in america and those who voted for trump, get ready to go pick fruits and veg cause trump masive deportation will tilt the balance, i hope u all truly understand.

What do you morons in the media not understand, the people want to know who is here illegally and for them to be removed. We have a legal system in place for one million legal immigrants a year, this is simple, if we need five million immigrants, let them in here through the legal process we already have in place. What is the reason for letting anyone come in here illegally other than to do harm to our American citizens, does CNN have any idea why the people are voting for law and order.

I dont think the left understands we dont care about their families.

As a trump supporter and I understand laws, am white Italian male from New York we need enforcement the laws deport illegals, great but he got a point, a live it by day mixed status families when I say mixed means your wife or husband are us.citizens and have American kids,children with husband or wife undocumented we should allow them to stay its around 500k people on this situation then the rest just deport them, my view is mixed status families is husband or wife are Americans born and have kids here they need to stay other mixed families like husband and wife are illegal and have kids they aren’t mixed status families because the father and mother didn’t born here no claim to stay here wait your kids be 18 them they apply for you to come back or the government consider them to stay here them they apply for numbers go to 5 million people and the rest send them home this is my 2 cents because in Europe if you are married to a European citizen you allowed to stay laws are different from country to country’s also trump mothers she was a illegal immigrate till she married trump fathers that’s fact google it ?

So now innocent Indian students with students Visa understand the real position in canada, US, UK

Actually all consultant companies in india say , there are millions of jobs in Canada,so it is very is to get jobs in canada,so students joining universities, with bank loans and getting students Visa, after that searching jobs \n**** Perhaps now innocent Indian students understand problems

She's very selfish! I will never understand people who are against their own race! Trump refers to them as trash!!!! This lady is sad and pathetic!

Has Germany not considered a campaign to ask German people not being called back home rather, they understand the life & language better or making an effort to go to German speaking countries first to see if the are keen on being in Germany to fill the skills shortage quicker.

What this ignoramus does not understand is that before she stood in line like she said to get her green card, she was an illegal immigrant. She is wicked, come in and close the door behind you so others don't come in syndrome.
