They keep talking about losing a huge part of the workforce with mass deportations. So Americans aren’t looking for work? I’ve worked for Amazon for 3 and a half years now. I transferred from Va back home to ny last October. In va Americans are being hired. In ny Amazon is literally hiring nothing but Haitians. We hire a hundred and twenty people every year between July and January for prime and peek. I promise you without any iota of exaggeration, every last new hire is Haitian. I know of plenty of ppl who have applied to no avail. They really need to say if you’re American don’t apply. They get tax credits for hiring them. And because of this they do little to no work because they know nothing will happen to them. So all of the work falls on us . Out of the 120 new hires this year and last year 115 are under 27. They try to alienate us , intimidate us,and are extremely rude to anyone who isn’t Haitian. These are young people who are on straight gang time. I’m a black man telling you this and I’m from the street. It took me 6 years to finally make 20 dollars an hr, they come right over making the same as me while I’m working harder to accommodate their lack of productivity and at the same time hope I don’t lose my job for standing up to their rudeness and intimidation tactics. But the media will have ppl convinced that these are hard working meek and humble ppl just trying to make a better life for them and their families. I’m 45 years old and every year of my life we have always had a block party every summers end . For the last three years none. Because my neighborhood has been inundated with migrants who don’t care to assimilate.

Wowwww!! Clearly she has no idea about the laws and what happens after you’ve been deported. YOU CANT “COME BACK THE RIGHT WAY” for years… sometimes 15-20 years. And because of “quotas” and limits on population from countries, chances are they will never come back. This last sounds a lot like the wyt folx who say they did it “the right way” at Ellis Island etc. back when you just stood in line for a doctor to make sure you didn’t have cholera and other diseases or weren’t insane. I’d be v curious to know when this trader stood in line, and where she lives now.

I’m Native American and I say deport her. Yes, I’m entitled to my opinion. I’m a citizen and my people have been here for thousands of years. And, my people have been fighting for this nation even before we were considered citizens ourselves. We were employed by the U.S. Military to serve as Scouts (fighting against our own people to help the U.S. conquer-hint hint). Our languages were used to help win WWII and we have the highest enlistments by ethnic group. Most undocumented people I know are cool and they pay their dues and don’t want any problems. These ones that act high and mighty drain the life out of this country. I want to see this lady’s face when she finds out she is the wrong color according to some of her peers. Lol

I dont know a lot about trump ..i know before he seemed a little ridiculous but atleast if he was our president here maybe hed do some deporting here. The more i am hearing about trump lately the more im wondering if hes really all that bad vs. Justin.

She obviously doesn’t know that even naturalized Latinos with legal citizenship may be deported. This new administration’s evil doers are said to be going after Latinos who ARE citizens. They want a way to take away their naturalized status, (Stephen Miller is heading this effort.) This would include kids born in this country who’ve never known anything different but the US. I’d think that this could put HER at risk. Her cruelty and lack of empathy is disgusting.

She doesn't know it but her azz is going to be deported too! How stupid are these people?

I know I'll probably get flack for this,but if he's planning a mass deportation. Trump better round up the Asians', Europeans', and Blacks as well. Absolutely violent and sexual crimes committed by illegals should be automatic deportation.

Democrats in the 1800s: we need slaves for the economy you can't free them or everything will collapse\n\nDemocrats in 2024: you can't deport illegal immigrants or the economy will collapse.\n\nYou know illegals and the people who employ them don't pay taxes right? They are just basically used as cheap and next to free labor.

What a horrible woman. Can you imagine being in her family? \nLittle did she know when this was filmed that he’d actually win and now he’s going to do his level best to deport her ass too. Imagine being this dumb.

I don't think she knows how it works. I have a very strong feeling that, if deported, her family members wouldn't be given a chance to return as documented immigrants. If I was in her family, I wouldn't talk to her, either

Is the goal to deport every undocumented person or to destroy our economy? Seems they will achieve both at the same time. I wonder how many Trump supporters know that Trump properties still avoid hiring Americans. Even Truth Social outsources their coding to Mexico. Trump hates hiring American workers. MAGA is only for him, not you.

I don't know if you can apply if you've been deported.

Does she know she can get deported as well.

You know it going to take lots of money manpower and time to deported people out of this country and it going to cost Americans over a billion dollars and farmers are about to lose money, people in construction and hospitality is about to lose money

So sad. He also is wanting to deport her... she doesn't know she's supporting her own destruction ?

I hope she knows when they are deporting she might be one of them.

Mexican Repatriation??During the Great Depression over 1.8 million Mexicans was deported weather you where born here or not and they deported people who just merely look Mexican.\nNow if you didn't vote against CRT you would know that including Executive Order 9066

I hope her family knows she will give the brownshirts their names and addresses before they deport her.

Jim Banks is a mor_n. Either he has no idea that these mass deportations will cripple the US economy, or Banks knows this will crush the US economy and that's what his boss Vladimir wants.

I say give the latino community what they voted for even if it means getting rid of 100s of thousands of tax paying citizens who happen to be illegal immigrants who am I to tell the latino community what's best for them? Puerto Ricans were forced from their homeland due to Hurricane Maria and resettled in my home state of Florida they overwhelming voted for Trump in 2020 so I say let's help our fellow Americans by not complaining feeling bad or commenting on mass deportation they voted for it and they clearly know what's best for themselves

She is so gullable & very brainwashed, & she doesn't know yet does she, so she choose Trump over your own family, its so sad, FAMILY COMES FIRST & BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER. So she is okay if her own family is deported, how selfish she is. These trump supporters have a veil over their faces, & habe Sense of reality of what is really going on, WAKE UP.

I dont know if things changed, but as far as i know you can't apply for a green card after deportation. If you are illegal and you try to apply, they will tell you that you must leave voluntarily to be considered.

Wow!!! She has no problem voting for Trump to put him back in office fully knowing that Trump is going to do a mass deportation on steroids of immigrants which is her family members and friends ??? This is SICKENING who are these MAGA people so DEPLORABLE ???

Well I will say she is brave and honest. And she is a TRUE American. Regardless of what Trump wants, she’s standing on game! And I’m not going to mistreat every Hispanic I see because I know how it feels to be grouped in and stereotyped, trust me. Also no one’s getting deported..

Where was all of this collective outrage when Obama and the Democrats carried out the largest MASS DEPORTATION in American History? Why does everyone forget or not seem to know that he was the first President to separate families and build cages for kids? Hundreds of thousands were deported. Latinos were OVERWHELMINGLY racially profiled.

Dana, the look on your face reflects deep sadness and concern about the 15 million illegal immigrants facing deportation. You know, you can go down to the immigration office and file sponsorship papers for a couple of them and welcome them into your home if that would ease some of the pain you're feeling—but I have a feeling you won't.

You know that if Trump found a way to funnel undocumented worker pay to himself there wouldn't be any deportations.

Oh, Marco…can we deport all the Americans committing crimes. You know since we commit 10 times more crimes than migrants. Maybe we could use a break from American rapes and mass shootings…just, maybe. ??‍♂️

Trump will say China was scared of tariffs and never impose them. Then he will say the illegals left on their own so he doesn’t have to deport them. You know promises made promises kept. Then he will do nothing with health care and just rename it Trump care.

Ah yes, the perfect man is going to fix everything. That's Trump's genius - that he can promise the world , fix nothing and convince people he did. Right now he's trying to fix the war in Ukraine and bring peace. Forgetting he's negotiating with a guy who doesn't fix things, he just breaks them and the last thing Putin is going to do is take Trump seriously. There's a a reason why Putin did not congratulate Trump -- he knows he's dealing with an idiot. \n\nTrump has surrounded himself with dunderheads just like him because competence makes him feel insecure. Intelligence gives him hives and common sense ED. \n\nHe got what he wanted from the elections now he wants to play golf and become the richest man in the world. All those grand plans and ideas except his retribution will have to wait because there's no money. It's all in his pocket. Try a mass deportation of millions when you have a no budget to work with. \n\nHe'll try to deport a few who have pissed him off but end up having it thrown out after the targets hire competent lawyers and sue him. The great legal minds will jump at the chance. Trumps lawyers haven't won a case yet. And so it will go until midterms swing the other way because Trump has accomplished zilch. Trump 2.0 The grand illusion or delusion. Take your pick.

I have questions maybe some of you could answer 1. How is he going to locate these people? is it stopping people in the street? Is it going to be a national tip line? Is it door knocking? Is busting doors? 2. What organization is he going to use? Ice? Police? Military? National guard? All of the above? 3. Are they going to be issued a u must leave notice or arrested in handcuffs? 4. Which country are you going to send them to? Mexico? Their original country? 5. If it’s their original country are you gonna fly them there? On a boat? 6. If these illegals have family member who are legal is he gonna deport the whole family or just the illegal? Is he gonna separate legal children from illegal parents? Or illegal children from legal parents? 7. What is going to qualify as proof of citizenship or here legally ? Birth certificate, passport? Social security number? Green card? (Because we know he doesn’t trust birth certificates ?) if you believe in deportation or not these are the questions you should be asking

I hope all of you who support deportation know how to grow and harvest the food you buy at grocery stores ?

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.

We know that the Republican Party is not a good faith actor and if they were going to only deport criminals, not many would be deported, but they hide behind that to just discriminate against cultures and races that they don’t like.

I’m telling you here: Trump mass deportation is not gonna work. It will fall. I know it for sure..

Once you commit a felony your automatically deported ??? and this guys in the senate he makes laws and doesn’t know the law

Dont worry, he wont, he'll deport thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands and say he deported millions. We know his game. Maga will fall for the Trump show and be estatic, then be wondering why all those brown people are still at their Walmart ??

I voted against trump….but if they deport one they should deport all….it was the Hispanics that voted for trump that helped trump get elected, it was their self hatred that made them vote for trump now they should feel the results of what they did…in fact trump and his people should go also for the Hispanics that entered this country illegally and later became citizens through any kind of means such as marriage, or being sponsored by their own kids….that includes musk and melania according to reports they entered this country illegally…..and what about the Asians? there are more Asian illegals than Hispanics in this country they voted for trump now they should also be deported….Muslims are another group….trump should follow his son’s in law advice annex the Gaza Strip to Israel “ it is a good beach property”….now let’s speak about women, abortion and other rights like the right to vote….I don’t care if trump takes all of their rights away this is what they voted for…finally blacks they also voted for trump knowing that white supremacists would be free to do what they dreamed of doing…they should go for their wildest fantasies ….when blacks voted for trump they forgot about blm….I guess that is what they wanted….when blacks come out in the streets to protest the way they are treated we should leave them alone….same with Mexicans and Palestinian Americans, women….you all are on your own…

What I would like to know is who is going to fill the jobs left unfilled when all these deportations happen? Jobs that most American citizens do not want to do. I would also like to hear how grocery prices will go down when all these agriculture and manufacturing jobs done by immigrants suddenly become vacant with no one to fill them.

The ones most urgently running away are the ones with a spotty past and they know they will not stand a chance and would be deported. Canada can't allow these individuals to be here either and must deport those with criminal records.

Little Marco is full of you know what. If you’re an illegal and you’ve committed a crime in this country you’re automatically on a plane to deported. They are the ones that are always deported first. The idea that Biden is housing a bunch criminal illegal Aliens is a bold face lie.

I hope she doesn't get deported by mistake I know friends who were deported because they didn't have documents on their person true story.

Sorry but all my life (60 years) illegal immigrants were always deported..I’ve seen it happen in the 70s,80s,90s,00s,10s..I’m Irish and I know at least 12 people who were deported (my brother was prevented from entering the USA in the 80s…US immigration authorities have always been active..

Well, they’re already talking about the mass deportations just wait until you know they don’t meet with Trump considers to be a white person or an American and they’re rounded up and put into a concentration camp waiting to get the ported. Let’s see how they feel about their vote then, anybody that is of color other than white it is gonna be bleak and rough for y’all but you know hey when he wins with every single demographic in the United States y’all get what you voted for I guess

Another topic that most Americans are clueless about. Well, here's some info that I'm sure you don't know. My ex-husband was from Central Ameri, a and I've known hindreds of people who have come here illegally throughout the years and NEVER until this past year have I known of anyone being deported without a court date first. Well, an ex family memeber of mine got caught at the border twice (once in 2023 and once in 2024) and was deported twice with NO COURT DATE! So, whatever people THINK is going on, they're wrong. But hey, if Trump says it, it MUST be true! ?

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.

Just think folks once all of the illegals are out of our country we can start helping our homeless citizens. I know imagine that happening instead of catering to these illegals like they're royalty. I'm not just talking about Spanish I'm talking about Haitians-romanians,Chinese,africans,indians,EVERYONE who is here that's not supposed to be here. The executive order must give police a direct order from the commander and chief of the USA stating the police are ordered to ask for identification on all people's in this country on spot without cause. If you're a citizen you don't have anything to worry about if you're illegal you get deported within 24 hours after arrest NO NEED FOR A COURT CASE they will be put onto busses in every city loaded to the gills driven to the boarder and yes folks the NATIONAL GAURD might have to be used to show everyone how fkn serious we are about taking our country back. Enough is Enough democrats have proven they can't be trusted to run our country. What a nightmarish mess President Trump has to clean up.

Mass Deportation? That is why we wanted him! The fact that there are people here who assume if you're hispanic, you are either illegal or know an illegal. Which is MORE racist when you think about it

Doesn’t she know Trump is going to DEPORT people like her :(

There is nothing illegal about a precious 5 year old child brought to and raised in this beautiful country. Deporting kids who’ve grown up here, who know nothing but America, just because their parents didn’t file the right paperwork? Really? \nI bet over 80% of Americans are descendent of ancestors who didn’t have to file any paperwork to get to these shores. \nAmericans confusing the absolutely legitimate fight against crime, cartels, and violence with an absolutely unnecessary fight against immigration is just painful to watch.
