An immigrant from a nation created by immigrants has no right to judge on other immigrants! Is Trump from a family of the natives of the America? If not, then he is the grandson of immigrants! Legal immigrants to the community of illegal immigrants but illegal to the native community!

You better back down , you better surrender because trump is God's plans for this country. So why don't you scatter and run because your wicked plans to ruin this nation is over , your being exposed even the hunter Biden crap. Your gong to go to jail hunter , New evidence. Will open the case. You think you can mess with a prophet. You better back off . You barked up the wrong tree and then your Kamala toe came against the name of Jesus. Bad bad move . I would never curse my savior. You people have horror for eternity. You better surrender and give your life back to Jesus before it's too late. ?

What the United States ( the incoming Trump administration) needs to keep in mind is that Mexico is a sovereign nation, not Puerto Rico, Costa Rica or some other puppet Latin American country that the US controls. It is vital that the US continues to practice a good neighbor policy with Mexico because, Mexico, has the freedom to illicit and develop strong alliance(s) with countries that are considered political adversaries of the US, I cite the Cuban-United States history of 1959.

Trump about to make a nation bankrupt instead of his business again.\nTrump slogan should be make trump bankrupt again\nThe dollar will not be default trade currency under next administration. Maybe that is why crypto going up

Trump must be disqualified; Americans can't be that stupid! Individuals incarcerated with less severe sentences than Trump should be released from prison immediately, as the law should apply equally to everyone without exception. The justice system, including the Supreme Court, is fundamentally flawed, and this is just the beginning. Trump's actions threaten to fragment the USA, much like his questionable dealings; the evidence is clear. He lacks morals, having faced sexual accusations from 26 women, and his connections with Jeffrey Epstein, who preyed on underage girls, raise serious concerns about his actions. Additionally, he has deceived and exploited construction workers with his projects, launched a fake university, and filed for bankruptcy six times. His most notable act is the first insurrection in U.S. history. This con artist holds the worst reputation both nationally and internationally, while the justice system and government have consented to a reckless individual. America has lost credibility both domestically and globally—all of this for one unworthy old man. The government can only blame the electorate for choosing someone who should never have been permitted to run for the presidency!

This Is Trump's Objective And Plans All Along To War With Hispanic Countries Because Of So Called Invasion Of The United States By Illegals And Trump Is Using Same Tactic As Hitler Did To Gain The People's Support In Hating A Certain Race Be Aware Of Evil Murderous Governments That Seem To Cause Death Around The World And Seem To Want To Destroy The World. Evil Deceiving Lying Evil Powers Must Understand We The People Nation Under God In God We Trust Always was Always Will Be Power To The People'l Not To A Felon Criminals

JVL of the Bulwark pointed out that tariffs are the fastest way for a dictator to take over a nation's entire business community. Trump gets every CEO on bended knee, starting with Bezos. And in addition, tariffs are a huge personal revenue source for Trump, and don't imagine that he won't find a way to lay hold of that stream. Michael Cohen has pointed out how MBS modeled for Trump how to turn a national wealth fund into a personal income account, and tariffs check all the boxes for massive grift.\nFinally, tariffs rationalize the catastrophic tax cuts Trump is financing for himself and his friends, so they look good on paper. They ruin nationa and trade relationships, but hey. It's a win win win for Donald Trump, who won the election.

Watch everything Trump and his goons try to do within their 1st 6 months. The nation will be in horror and also laughing at how fucking bad they've made a mess of EVERYTHING. So then America may just say (GET THE FUCK OUT AND STAYOUT) and vote all blue?at the '26' mid-terms. And elect Gavin Newsome as our next 8 year (two-term) Democrat President

SO DO US ALL A FAVOR.............................STAY AWAY FROM TRUMP'S AGENDA TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN......................... WE SIMPLY DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE, YOUR INTERVENTION ON ANYTHING AND MUCH LESS YOUR ATTACK AGENDA TO THOSE WHO WANT TO BRING GOOD AND HELATHY THINGS TO OUR NATION. HIPOCRATS...

Most of this is just wash-and-repeat old news ... Trump needs hate against migrants as red meat for the base and to draw attention to his bottomless ego pit. Tariffs act as a regressive national sales tax ... that raise, not lower, prices .... DUH! Apparently this isn't new to the low-information Trump voter.

Are you reporters on CRACK??? Get off of your talking points and look at what is already happening. Get behind President Trump and support our nation.

CLOWN tRUMP is going to lose his mind that a woman stood up to him and spoke intelligently with facts! It's the United States consumers that will pay these terriffs and tRUMP keeps waving them as though it was a cannon pointed at the opposing nation where in reality it's actually pointed directly at his constituency or citizens of the nation he is about to be the president of!\nLet the clown show begin!

Here’s an idea USA returns to a prime industrial nation that’s what made it the best country in the world in the first place. Trump has many flaws when it comes to tariffs but maybe the balance is that return to producing in the country.

All Mexico has to do is to secure their southern border and to ensure that the Mexican northern border is as secure as possible so that foreign nationals from all over the world, do not attempt to enter the United States.\n Trump will keep these for nationals from entering the United States, so Mexico is going to have to deal with them.

Trump blackmails sovereign countries. Mexico has a part of US economy on their territory, they control US factories and could nationalize them. Extremely dumb by Trump.

Trump likes to bully people into submission. If these targeted nations unite and come up with ways to circumvent the tariffs, they will have called his bluff.

Trump is only making the Brics movement gain momentum as the United States falls off track with the rest of the world, China and Mexico will tighten their bond and profit together along with every other nations collaborating.

These clowns on the other side of the borders will negotiate with Trump. Especially knowing that we are a top consuming nation. That will lose them billions of dollars. Seeing the liberals crying is so funny. Mexico will be the first to break and especially when the cartel doesn't make any more money. So many companies will move back to the United States to avoid the high taxes. These clowns on the panel are so dumb lmao.

They are deporting immigrants of other nationals to accommodate the migrants of Israel who are now fleeing hundreds of thousands from the apartheid regime of Israel. Trump's son in law is a secular jew and he himself is a Zionist.

Convicted felon Donald Trump's idiot nation....

Fleeing the states because of Trump means thier in that country illegally, its amazing how they think they can come to Canada your not our problem we don't want you don't need you or are you our responsibility so go back to your own country as a Canadian First Nation's that's how I feel

Well, Trump announced declaring a National Emergency, and Deploying the U.S. Military to help with mass deportation, so there is a very strong reason to believe they intend to do just that. If they see it as a credible threat as of being destabilizing, as is to one of the main reasons of restrictions on immigration in the first place, to avoid overpopulation, or population control. Fundamentally speaking, 7-8 Billion people cannot all live in the lower 48 states of America ??. You have to regulate immigration for fundamental reasons. It’s the responsibility of the government, and more specifically or in any immediate scenario the current administration’s responsibility to address the current immigration status, that’s why it changes from administration to administration, to address the current status on immigration. If mass deportation is what is required to stabilize the situation, then that’s what they will do, and they will do whatever they have to do to accomplish that, depending on the critical nature of it. If Trump announces a NATIONAL EMERGENCY ‼️, and Deploys the Military then it’s critical. Regardless of who is in the White House. Trump is just putting his twist on it as Trump, but the government as a whole sees , or the majority more specifically see it as necessary to correct the imbalance.

Our military today is a high-technology force with career professional officers and enlisted personnel. The U.S. military exists to defend the country in war or prepare for war against foreign threats. Trump could quickly hollow out the military as career experts leave. The military does not exist for civilian police functions. It is illegal and unconstitutional for the U.S. military to arrest civilians or enforce immigration laws. The American military is apolitical. No one swears an oath to any political leader but only to our Constitution. Mass deportations of undocumented people living in the United States won't be done with the help of the Army, National Guard, or other military services. The U.S. military does not have to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders. Military officers do not want to engage in civilian police functions or enforce immigration laws. Trump firing military officers would hollow out the military, likely destroying our readiness to fight future wars.

20 billion is nothing compared to the costs these migrants bring to their communities, Germany alone spends something like 100 billion on refugees and economic migrants, that's not even counting the crimes and lost wages on citizens, as well as healthcare costs and housing costs.\n\nin the USA the numbers are even higher and have been going up for decades.\n\nas for the law, the law is the law, it's simply not being enforced, if the US government simply continues to ignore it's own laws, it will create doubt in the legitimacy of the government itself, Trump was elected on this very platform and has a majority in most institutions of the US government.\n\nhell if the civil service sector won't work, they should be fired and if that takes too long Trump could set a presidential act to form militias or use the national guard to do it for him.

Their is difference between immigration and illegal migration, Any responsible nation will do everything possible to stop illegal undocumented migration, that's what Trump policy is

So its basically sonething of an National Registrar for Citizens programme in India. \n\nContext - It all began in Northeast India, a tegion which has been neglected by the Indian government for quite a long time. The region is populated by Hindus speaking Assamese (in Assam), Bengali (in Tripura) & Meitei (in Manipur), with a large significant population of Tibeto-Burmese tribal populations following either Christianity, their own folk religions or integrated with Hindus & a minority of Bengali Muslims (mostly in Assam). This area was conquered by the British in 1820s, & with the British came a lot of non-native peoples (mostly Bengali speaking people), thereby making the noatives absolutely hate their presence. Following the Partition of India, many Bengali Hindus fleeing persecution migrated to Northeast India, fuelling further unrest. Over time, a large number of Bengali Muslims from what is now Bangladesh illegally migrated into the Northeast & integrated themselves with the local Muslim population (settled by the British), thereby changing the regional demographics based on religion. In the 1980s the increasing number of Bengali Muslims in the Northeast Indian state of Assam sparked an insurrection, which was put down after the Indian government promised to identify & deport illegal immigrants. Similar rebellions also broke out in other states of Northeast India by the tribal population against the rise in numbers of Bengali Hindus seeking shelter from religious persecution by Muslims in Bangladesh. However, very little progress was made in identifying illegal immigrants in Northeast India. After 2011 census revealed that Muslims outnumbered Hindus in Assam (but the combined Hindu-tribal populated outnumbered Muslims), talks began about setting a registrar & tribunal to speed up the process of identifying & deporting illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. This picked up pace after the Hindu nationalist BJP party came to power in the union government in 2014 & in Assam's state government in 2016. Around 2018, the Assam government started the National Register of Citizens to register the names of all people of the state provided that they can show proof of their/their parents being present in the state before 1971, inabilty to do so would cause to stand trial before a Foreigners' Tribunal to prove their citizenship or face deportation. This exercise was fraught with allegations of xenophobia, with Bengali Hindus, Gorkhas (settled by the British from Nepal to serve in the army) & Austro-Asiatic tribals (settled by the British to work as labourers in tea gardens) being branded as illegal infiltrators alongside Bengali Muslims. Those who were unable to prove their citizenship ended up rounded in detention centres, eventually to be deported out, which at that time many in Europe & USA had compared with Nazi concentration camps. \nIt would be interesting to see whether this same Nazi analogy is drawn up in case of the Trump administration doing the same as what happened in India.

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.

I feel for you guys. Most Western nations are experiencing this. The politicians are letting in people as if people are going to be sold out and no longer be available. You must vote for politicians that will take this situation seriously. \n\nI am an American and the only reason the USA is handling its legal and illegal immigration is because of how large we are. We can absorb it better than any other country. The USA also severely limits legal immigration and now with Trump, hopefully illegal immigration numbers go down too.

It’s very sad the opinion of this lady. After she climbed the ladder she removed it, so other people cannot climb it. Probably she came illegally to this country. In few months she will regret her actions, being that Trump will bring “chaos” to our nation.

Stop talking about it just do it in silence, media gossips too much , President Trump , with GOP Senate, House Republicans, Judicial Branch must enforce immigration laws especially in sanctuary cities, towns , counties, across fifty states are nation is bankrupt.

The surge of immigrants to the U.S. is expected to add $8.9 trillion (or 3.2%) to the nation’s GDP over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Republicans are pennywise but pound foolish. Just look at their record of deficits under Reagan, Bush and Trump.

Why is anybody surprised at her being ok that her relatives are being deported. She is not only influenced by Trump she is Trump. Not unlike him she is only concerned for her wellbeing devil may care for her relatives. This is who we are becoming as a nation. Unfortunately.

How much do you want to bet that Trump's people won't care if she is legal or not? She will probably be one of the first to go simply because of her nationality, legal or not!??

Did... he just say that there are some 12 million illegal or otherwise undocumented people in this country but that they've never committed a crime here? Was he even listening to himself? Where does this dis-connect come from? As bad as Trump is, and I hoped he would not win last week, this is the 1 single thing that I agree has got to be done: If you are in this country illegally, you need to be deported no excuses no anchor-babies no nothing! You do not get to just waltz into my house sack out on my sofa decide you like living in my house and get to stay, that's not how this works! ps. I was not far from where the Mexican National Mass Shooter killed 5 of his neighbors here in Texas last year, he was previously deported 4 times and had come right back again, his wife was here illegally his best friend who tried to hide him from authorities was here illegally and 4 out of 5 of his victims were ALSO here illegally and you just cannot make this stuff up people! We have a problem in this country and it's not necessarily rooted in racism... who's fault is it that the vast majority of people in this country are of Hispanic ethnicity? It sure ain't my fault, I'm just against letting people who enter or are otherwise in my country illegally stay and I don't much care who they look like or where they came from!

This guy is in fantasyland. Notice how he says we’re going after the criminals 1st. That’s because the 15 million who have come through the caravans ARE NOT ILLEGAL. They have legally asked for asylum and they are awaiting their asylum hearings in immigration court. TRUMP can’t touch those. In Texas, many of these people have their 1st immigration court hearings in 2027 & 2028!! It usually takes at least 2 years to get to “trial,” then if you lose, you have 2 appeals and each appeal can take 2-3 years.\n\nEven the criminal aliens they pick up will be entitled to have their day in immigration court. This is nothing new. Bush and Obama deported millions of criminal aliens!! Criminal aliens have always been deported. This has never stopped, regardless of who’s the president. Look up ICE detention facilities. You have 2 big ones in California, Otay Mesa & Calexico; in Arizona it’s Florence & Eloy; in Texas it’s Harlingen. They’ve been operating before & during the Biden administration.\n\nAnd wait till businesses & employers start complaining. ?. Stephen Miller could’ve gone after the slaughterhouse meatpacking industry illegals during the pandemic. They were easy targets because they were the only ones working and ICE had the manpower to do it. Did he do it? Of course not!! America would’ve starved to death. \n\nMAGA nation has been played.

While it MAY be expedient to target criminal aliens first, President Trump MUST make good on his promise to deport ALL illegal aliens as a matter of national cultural security as well.\n\nAdditionally, the wall, a closed border (initially, and without regard to trade), and a permanent enforcement and surveillance regime developed AND deployed are ALSO campaign promises.\n\nTHAT…is the mandate.\n\nDo NOT shirk, sir.

Local law enforcement is not going to follow Trump's deportation orders in Blue States. If you want to bring on a Civil War, when Blue State National Guard and other law enforcement take on Trump's goon squads of Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and 3%ers trying to round up aliens, Trump's going to find out the hard way he's in the wrong!

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!!!!

Trump is 100% right. Deport deport deport. This is an invasion orchestrated by globalists to destroy nations.

As a trump voter, I would like to say this guy is nuts!!! If this is the real trump policy, it will end the GOP. People have lived here for years and have American kids who are college grads. Export these people, the nation will erupt In outrage. This is the type of rhetoric that gets nothing done.

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

I voted Trump. But I don’t want unchecked powers, like we are two different countries. We voted for a chanting the economy. But if these men and women think they will just do as please, we will start flipping seats. We are a nation of laws, fairness, and orders. No one is above the law, and that goes for everyone.

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

Time for us to do the same. UK has been doing deportation. Other European countries have been doing it. It's time to stop the issues surrounding national security and defence. Part of National defense is defending it's boarders. Trump is finally going to be a firm president that will defend his boarders. We don't have to fear this. We need to follow suit and do the same. This is a chance for us to work together to secure the boarders between us. We have refused to mand the boarder and actually more people cross the boarder to USA from Canada. So this is it. We refuse to deal with drugs, illegal immigrants and human trafficking. It's time to deal with it

They will burn our nation to the ground and take the money and run. Mark my words. Trump is for trump.

Jim Banks I hope you are ready to have white Americans to get down on their knees in hot, unbearable weather to pick the nation's fruits and vegetables, work in low paying hospitality jobs and many others no one wants. All these barbaric policies are going to come back and bite many many people who voted for Trump in the ass! Let's see content the country is after 18 months of Trump and his minions.

we thank the coperate press and news networks like CNN,for all the hatred and division they have planted into American hearts all because of one man-TRUMP\nEven after the elections,CNN is still trying to tell the world that black and hispanic people that voted for Trump have voted for a doom day for their children.\nI can only imagine how much division that news networks like CNN will bring to this country now that Trump is president.\nInstead of analyzing the Truth why American people overwhelming voted for Trump and trashed the current administration,CNN wants Americans to hope that Trump is coming for everyone.\nTHIS NATION WANTS TO HEAL AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITH DAILY DIVISION AND HATRED COMING FROM THE PRESS EVEN AFTER THE ELECTIONS.THEY ARE NOT EVEN READY TO GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE EVEN AFTER 80% OF THE COUNTRY HAS CHOSEN HIM.

What has WHITE MALE Prez Trump achieved in his first term?? National debt increased from 19 to 28 Trillion USD., No border wall, illegals did not stop, ..covid jokes.. Putin's puppy, Xi's chicken...\nWhat has WHITE MALE VP Mike Pence achieved in 4 years? He spoke to Jesus Christ.\nBLACK FEMALE VP Harris. achieved much more in 3 months of as a substitute campaigner for Prez Joe Biden. \nVP Harris was much better qualified than traitor Trump who provoked attacks and ransacking of US capitol and psycho Pence's antics... \nVP Harris lost 2024 due to racism and sexism with American voters. \n God bless VP Kamala Harris and her family.

This will make our food prices go up. Food will rot in the fields as no one will be around to pick them. Who going to make beds and clean hotel room including resorts. Who is going to mow your lawn and trim your trees? Who is going to clean your tables and wash your dishes in the restaurants? Who is going to pave the streets and roads etc. Our food prices will go up, and businesses will be hurt. Our Gross National Product will decline. Tariffs will increase the price we pay for clothes, shoes, etc. Inflation will rise, unemployment will rise, and we will be headed into a recession according to experts. Of course, the uneducated does not listen to experts, only Donald J. Trump. Worst American President in history. ☹☹

A functioning immigration system must remove illegal aliens \n \nRecent disclosures by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that hundreds of thousands of criminal immigrants are at large in the United States raise the question of why the Biden-Harris administration isn’t doing more to remove them. Increasing deportations is a necessary part of fixing what Vice President Kamala Harris refers to as “our broken immigration system.” She is right to describe it that way. But the administration in which she serves was the one to break it, not least by impeding ICE deportations. \n \nCurrently, about 1.3 million aliens under final orders of removal — those who have received due process and been ordered deported — are on ICE’s “non-detained docket” of 7 million individuals. These individuals include criminal aliens, whom Congress has directed ICE to detain and remove. But ICE can’t remove many of them because they’re from so-called recalcitrant countries — nations that refuse to provide the U.S. government with the travel documents it needs to facilitate the return of their nationals. The Supreme Court has held that, with only narrow exceptions, even detained criminals due to be deported must be released after six months absent a “significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.” If ICE can’t get their travel documents, there’s no likelihood of removal. \n \nFortunately, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a tool to force recalcitrant countries to comply. Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration won’t use it. Under section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), once DHS notifies the State Department that a foreign country “denies or unreasonably delays” the return of its nationals, the secretary of state must “order consular officers in that foreign country to discontinue granting immigrant visas or nonimmigrant visas, or both,” to nationals of that country. The George W. Bush and Obama administrations used that authority sparingly, each restricting visa issuance to just one country in order to force compliance. As my colleague Mark Krikorian recently noted, “Trump made much wider use of it, and got results.”\nSOURCE, CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
