Did she REALLY say that Mexico has done a lot to help the Biden administration curtail illegal immigration and help with the security of the southern border? Lol!!!! Record illegal immigration happened during the first 3.5 years of the Biden administration, in great part helped by the Mexican government. The only reason that the Biden administration(and Mexico) increased border security is because it was election time and Biden knew that the American voters were pissed. It is amazing how dishonest the corrupt mainstream media is. Wow! It's a good thing that most Americans are now able to see through the mainstream media bullshit and were able to re-elect President Trump and the Republicans back to power.

Tariffs are important it saves jobs in America by not allowing countries to dump extra cheap products in the country to run business in America out of business like what just happened in Chicago with a tire plant cheap tires coming from China forced a sumitomo tire plant in Chicago to close and lay off American workers. Stop listening to these people on the media who gets their talking points from the same Globalist that is destroying America ?

Look how fast things what happens when you have a president that isnt actively trying to destroy the american people . Trump 2024

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STUPID TO VOTED FOR TRUMP, FOOD PRICES WILL SKY ROCKET HIGH, DON'T SAY A WORD, ITS HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

You guys will listen to anyone , but while complaining about the border; you all know to well what cause the migrations. Stop sugarcoating go straight to the point. \nNo one wants to leave their homes land taking a long distance for another country. \nYou all know what force them outdoor. \nLet me give you an example. When California's while fires start. Animals like humans beings do they stay put or run for their lives?\nThe United states is a great country. No doubt about that. Even the so called enemy of the states knows that. But the foreign policy is not that is what force people to flee their home countries. Look what happened in Haiti for example just one small island. What do you expect those people to do ? If and when you only make a real meaningful change ; people will stop. As Americans we know better and we can and should do better ❤ I all

We don’t need Mexico we just use them cause there cheap. America can build and grow whatever they want. She should shut up and solve her own country’s crisis. There’s a reason her own people want to run to America. But the boot they will get if coming here illegally is their agenda. One day our army will probably have to swing in there for a solid week and end there crisis that they can’t handle themselves. & all these crybaby Americans over Kamala need to stfu and listen to the real adults. America will be America again. “Oh but we’re all immigrants” well I’m not I was born here. That happened years and years ago. You have better luck crying a river to a wall. Let’s go America let’s bring the real America back and make it strong again. F$$$ the haters and crybabies

People still don't understand the problem of deporting migrants. If the neighboring country refuses to take in the migrants, you can't deport them there. People just don't think things through. They'll probably build camps and then keep the people there.\n\nThe purchasing power of illegal immigrants was more than $254 billion in 2022, and undocumented households had a total income of $330 billion - they paid almost $76 billion in taxes\n\nSometimes I wonder what level of education people have. What will happen when people stop working and the places are filled with Americans? Prices will go up. By the way, illegal immigrants are not entitled to social benefits but pay taxes, who do you think benefits?

Besides distinguishing between legal amd illegal immigration, it would be good to know the numbers behind the types of undocumented immigrants. Many of these 11 million plus people actually belong here in the US, such as the Haitians and the Deeamers (which y'all neglected to mention). But if your asylum claim has been rejected or if you've overstayed your visa (which accounts for many), then deportation is fair. But we need a grand compromise. A path to citizenship for Dreamers and people who are under special arrangements (again, like the Haitians), deportations for most others, with a new visa regime for people who have been working in parts of the economy that - to be blunt - Americans won't.\n\nAlso, most of the people here without proper documents are Mexican. And most came through Mexico. AMLO let that happen. Sheinbaum is going to need to address that. Many Mexicans are also greatly unhappy with what's been going on for the last few years.

I guess Americans don't understand how this affects inflation. Usually with virtually no unemployment the consequence is inflation(loo NAIRU). The main reason that doesn't happen in the US is those immigrants with low paying jobs. If those get deported prices will go up, either because they would have to pay more to American workers or, more likely, those sectors like agriculture would banished and importing good is more expensive.\nIn any case it will make the average citizen poorer

I love Americans. Although that's a general statement and just like Canada, there are jerks there just like here, for the most part I get along great with them. There are pros and cons to living in Canada and the U.S., For the most part, I believe Canada is the superior country. We have a superior healthcare system, superior banking system, superior snacks, and superior safety. However, Trudeau is killing that. He's destroyed our country to the point that one more term, and it may well be expedient to move to the USA. He's destroying our economy, our values, our culture. We have the resources to top the USA in every way, but we've never had leadership to make that happen. The U.S. has a superior economy, retail, and military. Although some may argue that the USA has superior freedoms, I'm not sure I agree with that. I know I don't feel freer when I travel there. I will definitely travel to the U.S. again. I have lots of friends there who I love and would love to see. However, it will take more Trudeau for me to want to move there. Since it looks like he's on the way out, I better just stay put at least for now.

Preach Senora❤❤❤ As a Filipino-American and A LEGAL RESIDENCE OF USA, ( Not a tourist using a tourist visa ) i have to go back and forth to the US immigration office in Philippines, i waited for months, stand in line for long hours a couple of times , interviewed by US immigration counselors, paid different kinds of processing fees, even had a seminar what to bring and not to bring in the USA,and a complete PHYSICAL CHECK UP AND VACCINATED TO PROTECT AMERICANS before getting in US soil..these happened not in one day only,takes months!! And i am proud AMERICAN ❤❤❤?

She's one of those that feels she's american and she's She's still mexican who happens to have naturalized (She's NOT mexican american). She's choosing a man that only wants her vote but will kick her on the butt straight out of this country.

I once hired some American laborers. Gave them a shovel to dig. They looked at me and said we don't do that. What!! Took them back home. Grabbed some Hispanic laborers the next day. No complaints got the job done. \n\nLet's see what's gonna happen in the next year

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.

Why not ask Trump to spend a couple days to work on these farms that requires manual work like picking vegetables, I bet that he wouldn't last an hour, and the majority of the American people don't want to do that back breaking work for little pay, so if he reports all these illegal immigrants whats going to happen? I don't think there is a bigger fool in America than shit for brains DONALD TRUMP.

What happened to appreciating the immigrants who built this country...use us and then send us back...we should have sent Europeans back before they took advantage of native Americans...Hello..we wouldn't be in this mess if they would have \n stayed in their own land...

And what happens when they accidentally deport legal American citizens?

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

How many of the IGNORANT Latinos who want to be MEGA White was around when BUSH's Housing Crash Happened and Damn Near KILLED The WORLD ECONOMY ? ? ? MASS Deportation Jumping Food Prices and TARIFFS Killing CORPORATIONS and People Losing Job ----- MEANS ---- HOUSE PAYMENT DO NOT GET PAID . = ((( CRASHING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY ))) Into the WORST DEPRESSION THE WORLD WILL EVER SEE . ------------------ AND IT IS ALL ON THE IGNORANT LATINOS WHO WANT TO BE MEGA WHITE .

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.

15 million is a generous estimate. Probably mich higher tbh. Americans really are blind to whats really going on. Thousands per day. There's an app, illegal app I might add, that the illegals were using that was set up by the crooked Biden Administration and was used for coning into America. The illegals were shipped into all the swing states. Why? Because they were expected to vote Democrat. What happens when swing states now potentially have hundreds of thousands of new Democrat voters? They turn that swing state into a democratic state, solidifying their inevitable win. So, what happened, why didn't they win you ask? Because they didn't expect the massive turnout at the voting machines. They didnt count on the amount of democrat voters in 2020 to open their eyes and switch to republican because it's obvious the country was turning into absolute garbage. People should be thanking their Almighty God that Kamala didnt win. Trust me when I say that. There would never have been another real election if they had 4 more years. It would've overwhelmingly been a one party nation from now on. We would only be voting for WHICH democrat we wanted to be the puppet of the mega rich: Bill Gates, etc.... People need to open their eyes and stop believing EVERYTHING they see on the news. Dont you know by now that the news only echoes what the democrats want them to say. Just like Biden and Kamala. They only read the teleprompters, pay attention. Kamala stumbled on repeat mode for several minutes each time there's an error on her teleprompter. WAKE UP AMERICA. THIS AINT SOME CONSPIRACY THEORY. ITS LITERALLY HAPPENING RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES!!

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

They already did something like this in America and it failed miserably. It happened in 1954, and it was called “Operation Wetback”. Some American citizens were deported because it was such a flawed idea and carried out so poorly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback\nWhen racists, like the smooth-brained Senator-elect in this video, are motivated by hate, this is crap they come up with as a solution.

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.

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.

Opinion: \nMASS deportation is not going to happen. Increase in legal & fatal accidents will. Sad that people of minority races will be most affected...many because of racial profiling and will involve legal Americans & illegal immigrants.?

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.

As an American I sympathize with you bc we know full well what happened here. We've spent billions and cannot sustain the illegal immigrants. Be ready for the possibility of criminals and drugs and trafficking.

What do you think was going happen when you give migrants resources over passing American citizens.

I am Mexican American (Chicago). In all honesty the worst thing that can happen to a Mexican is another Mexican.. a very ? culture, the wrong mix of envious distrustful Spaniard and servant, paranoid Indian blood. ?

Thank you Black and Hispanic and white and all American family oriented Christian valued for helping save our children from putred Ideologies that this infiltrated Dem society tryed to make happen. Together we have our families back forever on earth and in Christ

Can’t wait for after these mass deportations happen, that “Americans” will work in their place accept working for less than minimum wage.

Trump's goal is to lock people out and keep the American's in he hates to get his bloody justice against them.\nHis Reich is coming to America and his violent minion supporters are salivating to get on board to have that green light turned on by Trump so they can have their violent bloody revenge. That's what's gonna happen.

Mas deportation will not happen Mexican Americans have been here for a long time got to get rid of the Venezuelans and shut down the border first

What happened to Mexico paying for the WALL? Non-existent. They will stick the American taxpayer with the bill. And deportation! Get ready to pay $7.00 for an avocado ? if that happens besides adding 450 million to the deficit!

The billions of dollars spent on illegals could have helped a lot of Americans. It is wrong what is happening to our tax money.

Yes the immigrants must GO. They are illegal, some are criminal immigrants and they are killing Americans. The immigrants are draining our resources while Americans or having to do without. We have LAWS on immigration and they MUST be followed. NO exceptions! Our economy is terrible and people are struggling to buy groceries or get Meds. We have poor/middle class people suffering because of the Biden/Harris administration. There will be no assault - ya'll are comical. WE have people here at CNN that don't have clue but yet tell everybody what needs to be done. The bottom line is - Donald Trump is our president and he will make the decision and will handle in a professional manner the illegal immigration problem. Show President Trump some respect. I was raised to respect your elders - what has happened to that? Ya'll sit back watch - don't' worry about immigration and watch a pro git er done. God Bless the USA..........

What a dim bulb...\n\n$11,000/per person to deport - - umm, no, 11 million Americans (or whatever imaginary number the that is spewed) is definitely not going to happen.

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!

Can any MAGAs clarify how food prices will not skyrocket if you just kick out a large amount of farms labor? Do you really think it just won’t happen or that Americans will happily accept picking crops in sweltering heat for 7.25 an hour with no benefits?

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.

Its not as simple as deporting all illegals, All those who complain about inflation, now get ready for for the unseen/ unsaid issues th at come along with this way of doing things, it is tied into the economy and will have enormous impacts of pricing and manufacturing. If you thought it is inflation and the caused by the last admistration, tou are sadly mistaken. Those who do the job for products and farm the food you eat will now no longer exist, and the americans who do no not want to do those jobs, no have no one to do them, and hence chaos will ensue, just like how majority of american manufacturing....ie Snapon, Briggstraton. Etc has all gone over seas to make the easy money out of greed and now puts blame on china as they knew making pennies on the dollar is profitable, but not realizing the consequences of doing so as you lose control of what American made product and now in the hands of foreign countries to do whatever they want and there is nothing you can do about it, as its happening right now in china with companies as Apple, etc are finding out it may be profitable but comes at a price when you do business on foreign soil and you have just lost control. Those who dont know why the border must have a swinging door which swings both ways, as All companies take advantage of south of the border because of vheap labor and laxed regulation so they can get away with what they can get away on us soil. Now you get someone like chump who has zero tolerance and no political experience run it like a business with out understanding of the consequences that comes with actions done with out beabke to compromise. You all complain about inflation, now get ready in your everyday lives, from manufacturing, to groceries, to dining out, and be prepared to pay alot more because now, no one is going to do thise jobs as the so called americans didnt want to do those jobs, as its always gone unspoken that hey they are doing it, and reeps the fruits of the laborors and could care less until it got out of hand as of today. Look what happen when chump when to tax steel and pork for china, its get s aunforseen blow black that you dont see right away. Same now with border. Now you have a Grossly unfit, Unqualified, W'reckless and dangerous individual who has zero clue/experience about politics on a path of ignorant destruction under the cloat of misguided senses it will fix a major problem that has gone on for decades. Is there a . Is chump qualifed to doa and fix it, absolutely not. It has bees just 4 years, as serious as pandemic, look at how he grossly mishandled the situation. Now get ready for more of the same and worst. Its not about politics, its also about right and wrong, good and bad and be able to compromise those complicated issues for a decent medium. Now it will be a total fuck up and get ready for all sensless nonsenses to take place and be ready for the once great United States to fall into despair. This is what all the voting who'ha was about. Now you get to live it and hope in the 4 years the damage wont be soo extreme that we cant go back and unfuck it. Some very dark times are ahead for this country at the helm of a lunatic. After the 4 years, chump will be 82 and could careless the carnage he left behind, as that the way he is a a person who has been taught to have no empathy and to win at all cost despite the consequences. Now, on the world stage where all look to the US, it will be a sad gloomy time with all madness we are about to enbark. This country needs to1st get off its ass and do the work and stop sitting on their asses to complain about it as they do that so well, so now get ready to lie in the bed youve made. Huh! maga?, watch as the US comes apart and divided under chump. The inflatiin you all complain about is now going to be far worst..and every and anything which is mostly will be affected substantially. You are mad about pricing now, people will now have to worry even more...and it will get out of hand. The crime and thieving will now be even more pronounced. When was the last time you had an American pick and facilitate your groceries, or do the cheap paid jobs?. Now you all have to do this youselves. So if you thought it was bad before you are sure in for a rude awakening...as now you have a sitting president who is not a convicted felon, but one who has been given immunity to consequences and no compromise which is a recipe for disaster

Mr Banks, you did a great job on Dana Bash! Congratulations on your win ! Now go out there and make beautiful things happen w Trump and the American people!

Anytime something happens they want to blame immigrants. it happened in the great depression, we were blamed for taking jobs and they deported many mexican Americans that had to be later repatriated same crap again immigrants being blamed for stuff and again mass deportation, I want to see white children working the fields and the service jobs

Better than to set around and have americans killed and raped what the heck i rather fight than set around and watch kids and women get raped its not like its not happening its true this is disgusting to even let happen be a different story if it was harris or bidens kids getting killed or do we forget how she acted when texas started bussing them people to her town

Itll be nice to have things for american citizens once again and nkt helping people who didnt earn nor deserve it and come to this country and rip off and free load and talk down on being here bc real immigrants who came here legally most agree this is indeed the best country in the world and opportunity and as a person of color making things happen instead of making excuses the dems downing of the american peopel got old of vote for me because we're the way is dead the in last 16 years 12 of those years have been ran by dems and only gotten worse as the year goes on im a pround California born and raised but left their bc of how bad its gotten happy where im at for sure god bless america and trump MAGA ?

Can you imagine how much it’s going to cost and the fact that he’s going to get rid of so much of the labor force, the jobs that Americans don’t want to do. I don’t think he’s taken that into account about what’s going to happen? His hatred for immigrants does not have him thinking clearly.

I am sick to death of media cherry picking facts they want to share. Oh poor immigrants. I am sorry, if this harsh but America can't fix the world and we aren't responsible for those from other countries. It really annoys me that all we hear is poor immigrants and immigrants rights. Sice Biden has taken office the housing crisis has gotten out of the control. Why? Simple math, you move in billions of people, equal population what you already have, but can't increase housing, they have to go somewhere. With the government helping migraints, more is going to them than our own. What is happening is they are pushing out people in migraint held cities and displacing existing residents. So those disbled , elderly, veterans and drug addicted people who are being displaced are being forced to smaller communities that don't have the infrastructure in place to cope with so many displaced people. Then you end up with a huge issue of Homeless people trying to live in Tents in the middle of winter. j You have a vast number of elderly women taking to van life because they can't afford to live any other way. Would you like to your Grandma living in Van, constantly on the go? YOu are being UNAmerican in your news reporting, when you fail to give fair reporting and do equal amount of investigating into who this actually affects amount the American people. Far as I am concerned you need to be shut down, because you are enemy of the US.
