You are either in the U.S. legally or illegally and if illegally then you need to leave or be removed. There are of course legally authorized exceptions, like for work so Democrats need to stop with the nobody to work in the fields BS. It's anybody's guess as to why Democrats insist on breaking immigration laws by harboring illegal immigrants and by not cooperating with ICE, but at least now they know part of the reason why Trump won the election and why Republicans will control the House and the Senate. Maybe we could do this. For every illegal immigrant the Democrats let in, send a Democrat back to their country. This way it will all even out.

He sounds like a man with only a “concept” of a plan. This is going to backfire on Trump and the Republicans because they can’t govern. Just making general statements without specifics will not work. Campaigning is vastly different than actually governing.

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.

Trump had Republican controlled Congress from 2016-2018 and did nothing but tax cuts for the rich

Mass deportation means there will not be anyone to harvest our produce, so we will have massive food shortages and dramatic increases in inflation. The Republican Party used the border security lie to scare people into voting for their racist ideology. They despise non-white people, even the ones our economy depends on. Everyone should prepare for a major recession and dramatic increases in inflation. These Republican policies are going to crash the US economy. This is what you get when you vote for a convicted felon who is a prolific liar and racist named Donald Trump.

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

If you dont think Trump’s rhetoric is not pissing off the cartel, in my opinion, he has already. Not only the republican young men lone wolf but i imagine the iranians and now i bet the drug cartel. I feel we are going to have s repeat of the assassin of John f kenedy. Trump has it coming tho, i hope not but if it does, may God have mercy on us

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

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.

It’ll never happen. Republicans loveee cheap non documented workers despite their phony outrage. You watch how many loopholes they’ll put in these bills to let their landscapers,painters,crop pickers,etc,etc get ‘exceptions’. E-Verify would solve the problem almost 100% percent but republicans keep pulling it out of legislation at last minute because it would prevent the real criminals ( multi billionaires) from making insane profits. Just try raiding one of trump’s golf courses and see how many you’ll find

Yes... the republicans will have ALL 3... President, Senate, House... NO EXCUSES... the republicans will OWN the destruction they bring. Dems cleaned up the mess after Reagan/Bush 1... Bush 2 and Trump 1.0. We will once again have to clean up their mess.

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. ?️

Selfish Republicans don’t forget one thing, as a Trump said we gonna fight for ourself !

Trump has never completed anything in life other than a rape scam or bankruptcy. A true failure great job morons of America. These people will continue hurting themselves and others. Spreading lies and hate nothing more that's the Republican party.

You see how stupid politics work. The Republicans could've passed a bill under Biden but shut it down so they can pass it under trump so he can get the credit. Party before country, that's why I'm an independent.

I think the people of the United States should have lawsuit against Biden and Garland . They knew trump broke the law by organizing a coup on Jan 6th . Why did Biden not make garland prosecute trump. Biden and Garland ran a fraud on the American people we were fighting for democracy with our hands tied behind our backs because Biden and garland had control of the whole election if he would have been held accountable for his for the coup trump did on Jan 6th. Biden has the power to over ride this and can not be prosecuted for his actions Biden and Garland gave out democracy away we need to arm ourselves because our country was taken from us illegally someone an attorney someone had to help us or the blood will be on Biden and Garlands hands I am not willing to have my democracy taken illegally. Biden is not a hero he and Garland are traitors. It is the truth and I am not going to get assaulted by Republicans because Garland did not do his job. Send the mob to the person that let the country be taken from us. They came on tv we must save democracy when you already have it to them. I will never quit hopefully someone will be with me .

Republicans are such ultra hypocrites!!!....Fiscal responsibility only to cut funding of things that actually help people!!! BTW, Trump said at the beginning of his 2024 campaign that the wall was built and that he built more wall....So why are republicans going to give money to build the wall???

Republican law makers are clearly as dumb as the people who voted trump in.

Republicans are the party of Hitler, Mussolini and now Putin and Trump. They just want chaos and death and then steal everyone's hard earned money!

from this point on, there is no excuases, Republicans control the House of Rep, The Sanate, the supreme court....when you F*ck up this country the only person you can blame is Trump...Remember today, cause tomorrow you will be eating Trump Diarria ....

If the priority is the safety of Americans then the focus has to be on dangerous criminals like the felon who ordered the kidnapping of refugee children and launched a months long coup attempt that involved lies, threats, fake electors, calls to assassinate Pence and attacks on the Capitol police.... Illegal is what the crime boss Don Trump has been but the Republican majority on the Supreme Court recently concluded despots cannot be prosecuted for crimes called official acts, echoing Chief Justice Taney's opinion that Americans had no rights rulers were legally bound to respect.

You CNN liberals can't do shit, \nThe republicans has won the presidency, popular vote,senate, house, supreme court the power is too much for them that anything they want to do will go easily for them including mass immigration, the economy amd inflation it will shock the Americans people of what trumps first year will look like and the entertainment is gonna be real\nI can't wait to grab my popcorn for trump to lecture cnn reporters and this time his gonna take no shit

There is no plan it's all hogwash. This is a foundational aspect of republican populism that unfortunately has worked to put Trump back in office.

REPUBLICANS! we won, we won, we WON, we win, we are the winners. It's so beautiful. It's a beautiful day. Right now. Yes, now. Praise Trump. WE WON.

REPUBLICANS ARE DISLUSIONAL...AND INHUMANE,,,,DON'T FORGET, EFFIN LIERS,,,THE SO-CALLED LATINO VOTERS, HAVE CREATED A PROBLEM FOR THEIR FAMILY, NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS,,,EFFIN CHALLENGED PEOPLE..TRUMP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON,,HE WANTS THE TRAPPINGS OF THE WHITEHOUSE,,ITS THE BEST SUPPLY FOR A NARSARRCIST..,, WE HAVE SÈEN THE REPUBLICANS IN ACTIONS,,DUMB AZZ'Z..KARMA PLEASE

Congratulations to yall immigrants that voted for Trump they are going to drive the US Debt higher and higher and thanks to yall Republicans on the future recession that is to come. Also thanks Ms Harris for trying to warn everyone.

Remember. REPUBLICANS WON THE MAJORITY and everything else. You have no mandate. The ppl want what Trump wants

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

I'm so tired of hearing you have a mandate. Half the country disagrees. Ignoring them will put you on the receiving end of the feeling when voters wake up and realize what every economist has said ‐ his plans will cause inflation and cripple the economy. \nBusinesses are already closing because we can't find Americans who want to work. So let's take away more workers.\nAnd how anyone can talk about immigration issues with a straight face when trump was the one who called to kill the bill and all the Republicans bowed down to their god. No respect for any of them.

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

listen to that b.s. from the typical republican! the jerry springer show is now the trump show!

I voted for Harris and despise Trump, however, I'm hoping Repubs do exactly what they've been wanting to do for YEARS, which is to finish their fence/wall along the ENTIRE border, deport ALL illegal/undocumented migrants, many of them Trump supporters, and shut about the stupid border already!! Americans are exhausted with the topic!!! I live in Arizona, I know of some illegal migrants close to me, they support Trump, and I'll be calling ICE on them on Jan 21st and will demand they get deported, and will work to find ALL migrants who supported Trump, and get them out of here!! Trump will crash the economy again, of course, so Dems will have to come in and clean it up again, as they always do after Republicans.

They're not going to do anything. Just some show round ups... They like the chaos on the border... And most all the businesses that hire them, construction, agriculture, healthcare, food processing are all republican businesses...they have never done that. Gonna be a shit show IMHO. Since Trump and Republicans are incompetent managers...

That is the exact reason I vote for Trump and Republicans.

Trump is just spouting populist rhetoric. Why didn't he do that in his first term in office when the Republicans had control of both houses of Congress before the 2018 midterm elections. In fact, no president has ever deported more people than Obama did.

What about the illegals that came in under Trumps watch, also its all republicans that are hiring the folks because they work really cheap

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

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

At this point , you could just tell , that this is not about democrats vs republicans, this is Democrats vs Trump. They don't want to admit it . They hate trump so bad they rather have a zombie as a president , aka Biden and dumb ass lady kamala, like really . Come here legally like I did .

Trump failed the first time, why do republicans think that’ll change now?

Jesus! Why is he able to even RUN for election again? Look into interference of this election! Trump claims fraud until he wins. Milwaukee had trouble with open doors on machines for 30k ballots. Wisconsin also had several distractions like bomb threats (FBI confirmed they were Russian sourced) to the polling stations. There were hundreds of ballot boxes on fire, intercepted ballots and a senior home for Russians had forged signatures on their ballots. Why are we letting this man be president with 34 felonies? Other felons aren’t allowed to vote. What does he have on the rest of his flying monkeys to keep them in place? Why didn’t the Republican party nominate a better candidate?

I support Donald Trump ? percent I support the Republican movement ? percent. Let's go Donald Trump 2030 ✊?✊?✊????????????

I think most people in this chat dont really understand what the Democratic party has done to this country in the past decade. We are far worse off then most because of the policies that have been approved through Obama to now.\nI have been a democrat my whole life and recently have opened my eyes to all the deceit they have been peddling. Not that the republican party is better,just that Kamala and Joe have done a terrible job with everything,that even Trump is a better decision at this point

It appears that the typical Trump voter is selfish. I still think the Republicans cheated with Russian help. Too many mail in ballots to mess with. Someone will confess or brag.

Trump 2024 Republicans own everything democrats cant stop the wall this time

Trump will make a new legal immigrants LAW ....and he will mass deport the millions of illegal immigrants he promise ...or if he doesn't the Republican party is over ❗️

The Democratics tried to get something done on the border. A bipartisan deal was stuck under a year ago that Trump blew that s*** outta for the optics of something to run on. The exact thing the average Trump supporter was supposed to have despised about the government and just another in the example in the long line of hypocrites of your average Trump voter. Several prominent Republicans quit the party that day, including Romney.

You let trump and Stooges talk voter fraud for 6 yrs!!! not on peep from the republicans.....gotcha dems!!!!! Idiots...hahaha????

Anyone who thinks Trump is better on border security is a fool who’s fallen for a scam. He literally went to house Republicans, pressured them to tank their own gop created and endorsed immigration bill. For the soul purpose of claiming inaction on Biden. Anyone willing to block fixes to the border to create a campaign talking point, is not really a strong with that topic. Just shows how blind partisan the parties have become.

last time Trump was in the office and as a way to thank Jesus, Trump did make it so 1M died by defunding healthcare and say covid was just a myth and later sade it was just a mild flu. Then loved America so great he started tradewars with everyone and crashed the economy. But who cares if one can just hand over the problem on the next president and blame the inflation on Biden that had not even moved in to the white house yet. While why not blame leaving afganistan on him also even though Trump did sign the order. one can think adults stands for what they do, but one can also vote to not fix the border problems as Trump and the Republicans have done. This even when it is their own legislators that writes the proposed fix to the problems.
