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.

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..

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.

What a mess the republicans have to clean up. Trump will get blamed negatively for this and the costs but who let it happen and how much has it cost Americans already? Get the violent criminal first. Something lacking in the current admin. Just making the situation much much worse.

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.

Americans, gets ready there's wills be know more peaces, it's will be know getting alone New York, gots tires of Trumps, we wills to.

Dana has no idea what the small American communities have gone through with illegals moving in and Americans losing jobs to the new imports. America elected Trump, and he will not fail.

How will they round them up? How will they transport them for trial? How will they house them waiting for their trials. Where will they get the lawyers and judges and house them? How will they deal with family separations? Where will they send them if they don’t know where they are from? Who will do the work as Americans don’t want to do it? Lastly crime by illegal immigrants will not go down under Trump’s presidency.

Some Latinos, Hispanics some Arabs, Mexicans that voted for White Conservative Donny Trump, did so because they know that in America, if you want to be in, you act like, think like, and vote like Conservative White Americans. The aforementioned groups are cognizant that White males control America, and Conservative, more prejudice, bigoted White males are the more successful of Caucasian. And the more light to white skinned of the aforementioned ethnic groups have a arrogant sense of privilege because of the color of their skin, they feel more white than the darker shades of their race. These passing-for-white ariodites love to converse with Conservative white citizens and make it clear to them that they agree with their grievances of ethnicity, race, religion and political ideology, even to the point of degradation of their own kind. They were told of the American Drean even before their people came to the United States, and the modern catch phrase of that dream is MAGA!

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?

Trump is a big fat bag of flatulence. \nHe's an expert at talking out his ass, and his supporters are dumb enough to believe him. \nBut we're here with a clown representing America because people didn't vote. \nIn 2020, Trump got 74,223,975 votes.\nBiden got 81,283,501.\n7+ million more than Trump. \nIn 2024, Trump got 73,494,503 votes, 729,472 less than he got 4 years ago.\nIn 2024, Harris got 69,174,894 votes, 4,289,607 less than Trump, and 12,108,605 less than Biden got 4 years ago. \nAmerican voters are why we're stuck with a narcissistic sociopathic liar and sex offender for president. \n12 million Americans, to be specific, who chose not to vote.\nTrump is a scam artist. \nHow many billions will Trump, and his family of grifters, steal from America? \nHow many asinine statements will Trump make? \nAnd how many rounds of golf is the flatulence king play on our dime? \nLast time it cost Americans $145 million. \nDo you think fatty ? can break his record? \nI bet he'll try.

Fascinating that he thinks, because Americans believed Trump's lies, that there is a genuine desire to spend billions to decimate our work-force.

In 2017 -18 trump had the house and senate didn't pass an immigration law and won't this time because it's been their piss n moan issue every election And the wall he had 4 years and added the amazing 52 miles of new wall What American is going to bend over and pick fruit and veggies for minimum wage like the imagrants do now

The American people were swindled by Trump. And he will hurt this economy. And we will deserve it for our stupidity.

The reality is Trump will deport the dangerous criminals. And give a moratorium to those illegals who work for low wages, with no criminal record, who support the elites and far left's business empires and property portfolios.\n\nAs a businessman he will weigh up the enormous cost of deporting the insane number of illegals Biden/Harris deliberately let in, with the value some may have in staying as long as they contribute, pay tax, and stay out of trouble. But the criminals, the gangs, and the sleeper terrorist cells must be deported to protect America and Americans.

EXACTLY WHY AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE SENDING TRUMP BACK...........THE AMERICAN STREETES ARE AMERICANS STREETS.....WE SENT TRUMP TO SAVE AMERICAN CHILDRENS DREAMS AND FUTURES...............YOUR KIDDING YORSELVES IF YOU THINK ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN..........................THEY ARE GOING TO BE REMOVED BOTTOM LINE............SANDWEG IS NO TRUMP HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING HE IS STILL ACTING LIKE ITS 2023 AND DEMS HAVE A WAY TO STOP IT AFTER THE MANDATE WE SENT TRUMP WITH..............THIS GUY THINKS THE GAME IS STILL THE SAME.............ITS A TOTALY NEW TRUMP ERA WITH 3/4 OF AMERICA STANDING BEHIND HIM..........DEMS FIGHT THIS THEY WILL LOSE NEXT ELECTION CYCLE BY SAME LANDSLIDE TRUMP JUST WON WITH................TRUMP WON WITH MAGA AND 2/3 EX-DEMS BACKING TO STOP THE INVATION AND REMOVE ILLEGALS........YOUR NOT ONLY FIGHTING TRUMP THIS TIME BUT AMERICAN CITIZENS ALSO.............................MAGA RULES THE FOOLS

All Democratic loving Americans should go on strike January 6th and send a message to these Republicans and Trump that you will be heard you will not be silenced❤ pass this on

Americans should be beyond fing scared after that interview! They truly believe Americans gave Trump a mandate to do anything & everything (all the cruelty and vengeance) he said on the Campaign trail! Brav fuc*king o for reelecting a convicted felon rapist Dictator and good luck with your new authoritarian regime by electing that monster! America, you reap what you sow. A dark sad day for that country ?????

People still don't realize the tanked economy that was handed over to Biden. Now Trump's going to do it again and several different Fashions to where he leaves this office 4 years later with such a f***** up economy and a f***** up deficit. That's too tanked economies handed over by Republicans to Democrats to where the Democrat had to eat it all and eat all the unjustified opinions from the American public and the Republican Party. The cruel strategy of the Republican party has hurt every American in this country for the past 15 years because they want power back so much that they'll hurt the previous administration and American citizens on purpose. It's on record

I am sooo looking forward to watching the trump regime trying to deport ALL illegal immigrants. And then all the MAGA criminals will be filling the jobs that the immigrants now have vacated….NOT ???. The US economy will collapse because there will be no one filling those necessary and useful jobs. Watch a MAGA idiot desperately looking for strawberries at the grocery store …..or any other US grown veggies or fruits. The non US grown produce will be exorbitantly expensive due to trump tariffs, and American grown stuff will be rotting in the fields ????

That’s why Trump targeted all uneducated people because he sounds good in talk but doesn’t do anything either. I wish we could start again like 20 years ago because now some illegal migrants that have been here for 5-20 years think they have American rights they are still illegal and have no American rights. All criminals, people collecting federal/ state benefits are anyone coming over here pregnant should be consider illegal. I’m willing to pay to clean up our country then paying to support these illegal migrants. If they own a home they should be deported too because I’m sure they lied or committed fraud to even buy a home. We all work our life to obtain our dream but they are given preference instead of veterans, our homeless and American people.

Trump sold most selfish Americans a dream. Groceries are not going down, immigrants will not stop coming in and inflation will not go down much. Americans basically just helped keep him out of jail.

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…

Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

Well there’s a choice and there’s a price and freak don’t understand that his actions will come with price and price you can’t predict through fortune telling or AI intelligence, you can sense through vibe of life and I know soulless people don’t sense that and he is soulless because that will do very bad for America and American people!!!\nIf trump kept his promise to build the wall and Mexico will pay for it that we wouldn’t have those problems and actually that migration to America by disrespecting law and order of the nation has begun when he was in office and he was letting them into the country but keeping their children from their parents!!!\nMonster that covers up in religion trying to get back thanks to religious manipulation of weak man!!!!

American needs Trump more than ever!

When they say 15 million, they mean the 11 undocumented workers and the 4 million American citizens whose parents are in the later category. They’ve said they want to deport American citizens and stripe naturalized citizens of their citizenship. Also, don’t forget Trump promised to deport all Haitian immigrants, Ukrainians, and Afghanis under TPS. Vance especially hates the Afghans even though they helped us for 20 years when we occupied their country and would be died because they helped our troop. But no. Screw them.

WE LIVE IN COUNTRY OF IDIOTS TRUMP KILLED PEOPLE LAST TIME AND RUINNED ECONOMY AND WILL JUST STEAL AGAIN AND STUPID AMERICANS WILL PAY FOR IT

People people that voted for Trump, obviously are American Citizen, they are here legally!.

This isn't controversial at all. In fact polls say Americans want it and Trump ran on it and won by a landslide. \nDo you have to point out how much you are out of touch with every segment?

You'll be surprised of how many Mexican Americans voted for Trump because a lot of them have a sense of self-entitlement that they came here 20/30 years ago when it was better to come to the United States they turned their backs on their own whether your family or not!

I think we should also be bracing for a stream of American Democrats and liberals moving north. Trump 2.0 isn't the same as 1.0. That time it was I'm leaving because. . . This time its I'm leaving because I might not be welcome here anymore. Although highly unlikely because of our close proximity one could even argue that an American brain drain might also happen as scientists move north to continue their research free of government interference. Remember Einstein read the room in the 1930s and left Germany for America. This could now happen to America as scientists read the room and walk away with their research saying let those Christian Nationalist deal with nuclear fission with just God's hands.

Profuga del metate thinks she’s is accepted by MAGA just because she voted for Trump… rude awakening she will get soon. Her type of Mexican-American is the worst… Mexicans don’t claim this sellout.

What's a green card? Lol just kidding. If she came here and has a green card, she's not Mexican American. She's just an immigrant. Not a good example. Not all Rodriguez, Diaz, Lopez, Perez, Gutierrez are immigrants. Dont go by last name. My last name tells you Im Latina but this Latina was born n raised in NYC. From parents who came to this country through legal channels and met here. Worked here, died here. Same as Mr Trump who is a Queens, NY boy. It's not rocket science. You are here illegally then go back to your country of origin and reapply. Come in the right n legal way. There is nothing wrong with that. Welcome people who obey laws. Who obey immigration laws. Those are the people who will be productive here. You coming in like a bandit, with no papers, no documents, no sense of direction then that's cause for concern.

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

Democrats, if you're watching this don't be offended. Rather, learn from it. You may not agree with these people's opinions but this is what the majority of Americans think and that's why Trump won. They don't care about the insults that Trump keeps spitting out. They care about their own self-interests. Also, here's what Stephen A. Smith said: Immigrants who came here legally don't support illegal immigrants. Imagine yourself standing in line for an hour to ride your favorite ride at a theme park, only to have a group of people cut in front of you without waiting. You would be outraged wouldn't you? I would and this is how they feel. Bottom line: the majority wants a stronger border. America may be a country of immigrants, but now is not the time to take in more immigrants especially if they're here illegally. We are struggling; we can't afford to help outsiders at this time. It's time to help ourselves out before we help others. It's not selfish. The truth is, how useful can we be to others if we ourselves are bleeding?

LOL!! I can’t help but notice this lady says “we need to take back OUR country” AFTER she’s secured her “GREEN CARD”!! Not sure if she realizes that many Americans consider people not born here as “outsiders” whether you have a “green card” or not!! SHE IS VERY LUCKY SHE ALREADY HAS HER “GREEN CARD” OR she’d be one of the many going back to their own country soon! \n\nPretty sure TRUMP views ANYONE who wasn’t born here doesn’t belong here, EXCEPT HIS & J.D. VANCE’s SPOUSES OF COURSE! But I think he may be concentrating on people that came in under Biden’s Administration for now??

Something to think about. Biden and Harris put our safety at risk when they decided they needed more democratic voters and opened those borders wide and unchecked. Americans DIED. Alot of them. Especially women who you say you care so much about. Americans voted what they wanted which is no more open border with no real vetting. Now President Trump has to fix an issue that Biden/Harris created. But keep being unfair and blaming him or grow up and be realistic. Your choice.

Out for number 1. Very patriotic. ?? un-American. Now I can see why Trump says they aren’t sending their best people.

Dummies first day trump win black Rock visit Claudia 260 CEO Rich Latin American slim Claudia need one million worker projects inter ocean shipping connection half world need build new shipping area 500,000 trains projects build one million homes Mexican Americans send 1,200,000,000,000 pesos year vote dummy

If you are mad about illegal aliens getting deported, you are mad about lower prices for American citizens. If you call someone a traitor for voting for trump you are a traitor yourself. They are illegally coming into our country. If you US citizens illegally go into other countries you will probably die or be held for ransom. Why are y’all so happy and ready to pay for other people when we have families veterans homeless to feed the government uses illegal immigration as an excuse to spend government funds as an excuse to rebuild America for Democratic party votes That is absurd and insane. If you support this, you are a threat to democracy and a traitor to the US the Democrats committed treason over the last four years and if you look back in history, it goes on and on They have never helped the American people for American people. They aren’t for us. Wake up, realize who controls the media realize who is trying to consistently brainwash you realize who doesn’t want our country where our bills say in God we trust to no longer be a Christian country. Let’s go back to a wireless and Affordable country. Let’s not instigate fuel support and fun wars across the world let’s tax other countries and receive money from other countries rather than take from American citizens that can’t afford to be taken from. in God we trust God bless America

TRUMP will do it, Dana..don't worry. These rich businesses need to put out the money to pay LEGAL Americans to do these jobs! And NO ONE has mentioned the 325,000 children that are MISSING from the border..Where did you Democrats put them?!

We need to institute a remain in America policy while we process actual asylum claims. This is an American made problem under the Biden, Harris administration. It should not become our problem under the Trump, Vance administration.\nIMHO

This is one of the many reasons Trump was voted in, get the illegals out and if we need more than the million, we bring in legally, then bring in more through the legal process. This is only hard for a liberal to figure out, but legal is the only way to be safe from people that want to harm Americans. All countries require everyone to have proof of citizenship, Dana is an airheaded moron.

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!

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

I get it that illegal criminal immigrants need removing. I do NOT agree with Trump attacking American democracy or jailing his political opponents !

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

The so-called Trump voters who said they are regretting voting for Trump are crazy. I don't understand why they should be regretting? Everybody knows what Donald Trump's intentions are. For example, the 100% rise on tariffs on imported goods, which Trump had tried during his first term and it backfired. Majority of Americans electorate are not just that rational. They make decisions based on emotions. Trump just kept on invoking emotional mantra like the migrants are invading American, woman is not strong and smart enough to be the president of US, a black woman from black immigrant family are not smart enough to be the president of US - old stereo type that have torment America from slavery. It doesn't take rocket science to understand why Trump played on the emotions of Americans. Trump knows that, that is why he kept repeating those emotional mantra, and not talking about the issues. Trump - bonefide conman - and his advisers understood this very well and used to con Americans to vote for him. Good con-job Donald. Kudos.
