In my country we call this singing for your supper. American foreign policy caused the migrant situation in central america when they supported dictators and oppressive governments. Its sad that Americans have bought into the trump rhetoric that immigrants are a threat to America.

Clearly the this comment section is full of the dumbest people.\n\nAll virtue-signaling and talking about how this woman is an evil person because she's standing for what it RIGHT, at the expense of her own personal interests.\n\nAs though that's not of far greater virtue than being in favour of the illegal immigration crisis that has caused ACTUAL, tremendous harm to the country.\n\nThankfully most Americans are much smarter than you clueless folks, so there's some hope.

This CNN lady must like acting stupid: we want ALL of the gone! Im hispanic american from legally immigrant parents.

It’s what the American people want. Not what Liberals want

Trump avoids prison and we're sentenced to four years..If you are Latino and voted for this Monkey..You will pay the price........América is Great!! The American dream..Get ready for Deportation Latinos..Latin America and Mexico....

Good that’s what we want, until no homeless Americans are on the street we don’t need any migrant criminals

They talk about immigrants being criminals and come here to commit crimes. Yet nothing is said about American born gangs that are here and actually commit crimes and are most likely the that distribute drugs Ike fentanyl here in the America. Is anything being dine about that.

This lady has lost her mind. She’s doesn’t get it! You can put on that Trump hat and think you’re mixing in with the white Americans, but in their eyes and Trumps eyes you’re just another Mexican, the “bad people”. I wish you get deported for being this ignorant.

Imagine the deportation of illegal immigrants who have entered a country illegally being given refuge in the sanctuary city, where they have been provided with free housing and credit cards , whilst American soldiers are homeless on the street, being a controversial thing?????\n\nThis is only controversial if you’re a vile left, leftist democrat, who despises their country

Finally listening to Americans!! Get the F out!

Where are the Native Americans at? Can they be the ones to decide who stays and who leaves their country? I’m just saying

CNN, American money you are eating. Not the illegals. Love American. crossing the border illegally, they know they are doing crimes. Crimes should be punished, not rewarded. Before crossing the borders, they should think about the family

Love your country. Love American people

This is not your country. You are not native. They are the real Americans.

The private sector detention center are going to make a lot of money. There are doing so good. It’s just going to be a large transfer of wealth. American people are going to pay a lot of in taxes. I promise it’s not going to be paid by the rich. Also be prepared to buy double for all produce and labor for construction projects.

Mexican American veteran here. If my family members did the crime, and they get caught, then they got to do the time! \nThis old lady thinks like a productive citizen of the United States, not like a criminal immigrant with a victim mentality❤

This woman knows nothing about American history. She thinks she got in because she stood I line . They would send her back to the Mexico in a heartbeat

All of the jobs she's talking about. Those people are here on worker visas. Most company don't want to hire Americans cause they don't want to pay more $. If workers are needed you can easily bring them here on working visas that's not an issue CNN wont stop lying.

This lady is a true American in America. I Love you mam I pray all immigrants were like you ❤ God Bless my fellow American

Americans will have to buy strawberries from Canada where a lot of pickers will have moved.

So you come here illegally but turn on others who have done the same and trying to save their money to become a citizen..Can somebody make this make sense!!! Narcissistic Sociopaths, Selfish, Dirty, Low Down, Back Stabbing!!! Yes, they have learned the American way.

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

You're not AMERICAN!!! YOU ARE MEXICAN WITH A GREEN CARD!!! LEARN ENGLISH A BIT BETTER!!!

People in general don’t understand, American themselves are struggling. Some worked 2-3 jobs to survive. The government cannot afford to provide housing, jobs and food. Even the American don’t get them easily. N they don’t know who is coming in the country plus there are escalated crimes and violence.

She waited in line for a green card???? I don't believe her story--it takes months to years to get citizenship, much less a green card! Personally, I think she married an American white man, and got in that way.

This illegal immigrant knows she's damn well lying. So she claims she received her green card after waiting just a couple of hours and days, for the USCIS to begin the process with such an expedient turn around time. After her application was submitted, researched, investigated, approved and they also issued her a Green Card so effeciently. Get real, it's a government process in no way has any business being done with our government has ever ran that efficiently and swiftly.\nHer dumb ass will be round up with the rest of her own damn family.\n\n?She called herself a Mexican-American!?

Those jobs will be replaced by African Americans that dont want to work ?

I think immigrants should do it the proper way. That has nothing to do w trump. It’s what I believe. To the woman: Lady he doesn’t want you or me here. I’m an American. ?

I am a second generation of Asian American family , my grandparents were legally entered but i would never have any of her arrogance & ignorance… no way to disrespect any of my family members and my ancestors.. yet definitely respect proud of my nationality!!

Did you noticed she said as a Mexican-American? She said she came here and got her papers by waiting for a long time but that means she was an illegal alien. My goodness there are so many like her that try too hard to denounce their heritage to the point to have her family members deported? You can not make this sh— up!! She better run when they send immigration officers cause she does look Mexican ? pinche coconut (white inside-brown outside)

QUE???? I’m a Mexican American too. This lady reminds me of one of my tias who basically gave away that she also voted for trump. How could you do that to your own family? It literally takes YEARS, DECADES for so many people to even get citizenship. But this lady is okay deciding the lives of other people because for her, getting her citizenship was easy. It’s not easy for most people. And so many people die trying to do it legally. And our government demonizes them for it.

Americans know what is good for them, do you think the presence of millions of illegal migrants is good for america?

So embarrassed to be an American right now….

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

I am truly disappointed in a lot of immigrants who after becoming citizens have that tupe of attitude . They’ll charge them rent to sleep on the back porch. Even in the dead of winter. But they’ll have to go else where for bathroom facilities and eats. They have to sit outside till the owner gets home to open the gate so they can get around to the back porch. I was shocked to see a family sleeping together one Christmas on a concrete floor between 2 sheets the children 2and 4yrs old between them to keep them warm. Unbelievable !! I took them home with me.I am American born.

I see evidence of some people who think electing Trump will essentially rid this country of Hispanics, whom they are just so eager to be seen removed from here. That is both an extremely naive and very racist set of expectations. Many of the worst racists are going around telling random Latinos to pack their bags and some are telling Latino Trump voters like me that we're gonna get what we voted for. The ignorance is just astounding!\n\nNo, I'm not getting deported. I'm an American. Not legal not illegal. I'm from here. My family has called this place home for generations. If you think Trump will be deporting me just because of my surname, you're an idiot. Trump will be deporting ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. He will NOT be deporting Americans due to skin tone or surname. That's so ridiculous, you have to wonder how hateful you have to be to assume Trump will do that? Wicked.\n\nAfter the mass deportations, Hispanics will still be around in very large numbers to spook those idiot racists right out of their neighborhoods and I am glad. Many of us are from here and will be going nowhere. In fact, I hope they marry the racists daughters have brown children and then they will be forced to care about them and will eventually stop being such bigot POS.

MAGA Trumpist idiots will hand ower Ukraine to Putler. will hand ower Taiwan to china, will sunk USA in a swamp of corruption and idiocy!\ngreat job americans ....

You made your bed Americans. Plus, Canada only seems to let in Indians ?

I am an African-American male and I'm just disgusted about what I just saw I'm truly shocked put I got some African-American blacks that makes me want to throw up also including my uncle I'm shocked

Most republicans are lying to their supporters because we in reality need workers to work the farms since no americans is willing to do those back breaking jobs. I dont blame them because they dont pay enough and there is not benefits other than the pay you receive. Fk marco rubio. A hypocrite garbage who does not have a spine that he can not stand on his own just like Lindsye graham, they are both useless. I think people dont realize that those people that are here illigally it would be better for the government to issue work visas so they can track them and collect taxes. I understand that there is a lot of people that take advantage of the system and they should be pay for abusing the system.I did not vote for trump and i would not vote for him even if i was having a nightmare because we know who he is and stands for.

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.

Anyone with a modicum of sense will realise that what is proposed, or rather, what Trump promised his mad supporters, is impossible. I heard some MAGA clown claim that the plan was to remove 22 million people. Does he not realise the effort it will take to achieve. The ‘sermons’ he delivered were simply for effect. He must have known, even as the idiot he is, that the machinery does not exist to effect the policy. We had a similar experience in the UK over the decision to leave the European Union. The impression was given that, on the morning after a Leave vote, the matter was resolved. That was in 2016. We are now in late 2024 and many of the so-called problems caused by our membership of the Union still exist.\nThe American proposals were made by Trump, a liar. The most vociferous advocate for our Leaving was also a liar, Trump’s bosom pal (I get the impression he is closer to him than he is to the ex-call girl who is his wife) Nigel Farage.

I don’t believe her. I have lived at the border for 30 years - most at her age got amnesty from Regan. I was a young adult at that time. It was a REALLY big deal with most Americans- and not in a positive way. Voted Blue ????

Just wait ans see how Americans are treated in other countries from here on in. They all already walk around in other countries saying they are Canadians when on vacation. lol

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. ??‍♂️

Farms set up legal work visa's with Central American governments. I tried to get farm work. No Americans allowed.

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.

As an American with Mexican background it’s family members like her that we hate, that we despise, unfortunately and this is true your own family will throw you to the fire before anyone else does and family like this lady “chanclas miadas “ do exist. This lady is an example of why sometimes is best to divorce your unloyal family members

The truth is American people already made their division so democrats need to listen to them instead of lecturing them. Our society needs immigrant but our society resource is limited, we can’t accommodate every illegal immigrate without hurting our own communities, especially when so many American citizens are struggling for affordable house and increasing living cost and so many legal immigrants are waiting in the queue many years waiting the government to process their case.

Americans likes to go on vacations all these other countries should stop them from visiting there islands same way.
