Here comes the era of. \n\n$25.00 head of lettuce.\n$10-12 dollar tomatoes\n\nAvocados that are $10 - $15ea. with the terriffs that he is promising to add to EVERY imported item.\n\nChevrolet and Ford cars will now be at the cheapest $100,000 because many interior parts and many other exterior parts are made in Mexico.\n\nOur heavy duty trucks (think Peterbilt and Kenworth as well as Freightliner will now be $250,000 already a new tractor is about $150,000 because many of the parts are hecho en Mexico (made in Mexico). \n\nStaying at any hotel will now triple in cost because there will be an enormous pay hike for those that are documented and are U. S. citizens as well as the promise of huge fines for those using undocumented workers! \n\nThen we are going to have to pay for the labor force housing and health insurance for those that are rounded up and awaiting trials by law until we are sure they are actually illegal we have to keep these individuals healthy or risk being sued by all whose rights are being neglected and will necessitate stop and question anyone who the police think could be an illegal going back to the days of stop and frisk and the days of having to carry your papers with you! \n\nThis is surely going to lower inflation!\n\nWonderful!\nGood going all who voted for Trump!

She has no idea what’s really going to happen. Trump’s likely to ignore the existing laws and remove legal Hispanic immigrants or make it very very difficult for them to remain here. \n\nHe’s going to escalate existing ethnic bigotry, among a host of other divisive tactics, and she’ll see—along with other Latinos who voted for him, what’s she really voted for.\n\nThere are ways to handle this humanely, but think of how a certain German, his idol—per Ivana, his first wife—handled his power, and you’ll get some idea of how bad this can, and very likely will, really get. \n\nThe only possible saving grace may be his early signs of dementia, but he’s putting in place a group of likeminded friends, so not a good time to be different in the US.

Oh I can't wait for this to start... when veggies cost $5.00 for one apple, and an ear of corn is $10\n\nPeople living in cardboard boxes shaking a tin cup with a sob story I will simply say... I am going to tell you what my family told me when I was disappointed in Trump winning... GET OVER IT\n\nYou brought this on yourself and if you voted for him and end up in that box, I won;t help you by giving you a dollar I will piss in a bottle and say drink it, it's better than nothing.

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 ❤

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

Why does this butthead soon to be senator think the GOP has some huge mandate. Trump only got 50.7% of the popular vote, which means 49.3% voted against him and his ideas. If Trump had gotten 65 or 70 percent of the vote, that’s called a mandate. I think as soon as police and government officials start asking everyone who looks or sounds foreign for their papers to prove they are citizens multiple times every day there is gonna be a huge cry from the Hispanic and people of color that voted for Trump.

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 voted Democrat but I will support President Trump to deport now. They voted republican now pay. Cancel, all their asylum too. \nI will be clapping and cheering for busses. Let the latinos feel it. Easy to vote difficult to bear the burden.\nSame with women abortion rights. 46% women voted for Trump. They didnt support their own cause. Why should we worry. Made a fool of all liberals

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 care anymore. A lot of Hispanics voted for trump so you get what you voted for. If your family members are deported ok. Nothing can be done because they chose to be ignorant. All I know is that black people will not be picking anything. We are the only group of people that voted for democracy

55% of Latino men voted for Trump to deport Latinos. You cannot fix stupid.

LOUD .& CLEAR MANDATE on this issue !! The voters VOTED for MASS DEPORTATIONS for illegals who came via Southern Border and END to SANCTUARY city in California / blue state. To business who employ illegals , you can always pay a heavy fine if you want illegals to stay.. Obama and Trump have no problem deporting illegals from Southern Border.

Stock up on KY and bend over America. Trump and the banana republicans are about to push the US back to the stone age. Don't forget he did say you would never have to vote ever again. Phew, right?\n4:29 Banks says the American people deserve it. You do.

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.

Life long Democrat here. I could never accept a man going into the same bathroom as my two young daughters and wife. I am their father, their protector. I had no choice to protest and vote for Trump.

You Latinos who voted for Trump and think your safe. Think again, just cause you were born here doesnt mean everyone in your family was and are here legally. Triump has already said he will strip your citizenship away and send you back with them.

As a dual citizen in lsrael who voted Trump. ShaIom, its really great at garbage island this time of year..

I am a Christian and I voted for Harris. When I die God is going to hold me accountable for my sins. Not someone else's.Thou shalt have no other God but me thus saith the Lord. Trump will never be my God. My God is The God Of The Holy Bible. Not The Trump Bible.

Trump won because us democrats not strong on immigration even latinos want open borders stopped, want a man leader (Newson would have won damn it), there is backlash against woke culture anti-man sentiment, looks at movies losses because of girl bosses, Democrats could have said DNA testing is supported to help with right to life. Democrats must vote not preselect there condidate. eg unfortunately Scaramuchi said point about anti-woke he's right its mens respect issue.

I voted for Trump because I care about you and your families, I am sorry if that offends you.

This is bs. There are many people that voted for Trump that is against mass deportation of law abiding illegal immigrants, but are for deporting violent criminals and securing the border and keeping illegal immigration out. What about the dreamers? They should be exempt from deportation. They speak English, they've assimilated into American culture, they own businesses and most importantly, being deported back to Mexico is technically being deported to a foreign country they have never lived in.

Trump got fewer votes than he got in 2020. He’s still unliked.

That’s funny a Greek restaurant next to my house both owners voted for trump and they forgot he’s employees are illegals ?

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!

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.

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??

Russia helped Trump win with bomb threats and cheated by Elon giving money illegally to get votes. Why are the democrats letting this happen like they are a part of this. Seems all set up to happen and screw the American people.

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 is the exact reason I vote for Trump and Republicans.

When the pain hits ALL AMERICANS, feel it even those that voted for trump

Imagine if you voted Trump and then get deported because of your ignorance?

I see many of you are still struggling to understand how Trump won. It’s many fold, but I can some it up rather concisely.\n\nYour entire mantra was “Vote for us so we can have our way and do what I want or democracy dies”\n\nWhich is so ironic that the thing you think will happen is what that statement represents. \n\nAdd on that, you attacked your political opponent for 8 years with lies, rhetoric (which included degrading remarks about the general populace) and a weak economy and weak foreign policy with a severe influx of illegal immigration. \n\nYou did this to yourselves

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.

Stop complaining, Trump was voted in to rid the country of illegals, this is the People's choice not yours alone so expect it

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

I hope that the USA gets exactly what they voted for! I hope that Trump keeps all of the promises that he made.

Why were 13 million democrats purged from voter rolls? Why did trump tell people not to vote he didn't need the votes? Why was Musk running and swing states paying voters to register and how any new voters are linked to those payouts and were any illegals?

All the latinos that voted for trump! MAGA thinks you are all illegal no matter what your status or even born here! And you mach latino men vored for it FFS

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.

as soon as he win he talks about sending you back, you P-R voted for him, I know that was a slap in the face?‍♂?Trump don't care about how hard they work, he just going to make the B men do what they used to do and paid them less the same way he treated them people he deporting, is the same way he going to treat the Blacks but worst back to slavey unless you rich as hell,

Trump is taken a aways our right it unfair they now remove married paper wow just wow I am Latino American I born here too good thing I didn’t vote for him he not my president

Hey Hispanics, you voted for Trump loud and clear. Now look at what he’s going to do to your people. \nExcellent work????\n??

Good for you guys in the Republican party now the Hispanic and the black business owners will feel the pain of their vote for trump ! you reap what you sow.

A SIGNIFICANT percentage of those who voted for Trump work in industries that are being held up by undocumented work. The construction industry, for example, will CRUMBLE without these workers. The economy will collapse over night. And those that voted for him in these industries will suffer the most. 2026 midterms will be devastating for Republicans should they actually carry this out. If I were the Democrats, I would let these guys dig their own graves, politically speaking.

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.

Cool. A well thought out plan. So, when you start deporting workers who work in agriculture and meat processing, and the only solution is to raise wages or slow production, this is going to be immediately inflationary. In about a year, the prices at the grocery stores and at fast food restaurants are going to be significantly higher. Combined with the inflationary tariffs, this will cause a recession. \n\nIf you voted for Trump because of high inflation, the next few years are going to be confusing.

This Latinos that voted for Trump are going to be sorry they did because they are going to see their family members or themselves deported.

I'm ashamed of all the Latino/Hispanic people who voted for trump, they're all pathetic ?
