It really isn't a difficult matter to solve. 1) Get the actual border under control. 2) Tell Mexico; and demonstrate it to them if necessary, that you'll close the border entirely if they don't get a grip on their own southern border. The result = Poof, goes the Mexican economy. 3) Round up the criminals.\n\nDo those 3 things and you'll bring some sanity back into the system which is all anyone really wants. It won't mean 11M get deported; perhaps 1-2M at most, but if there's a sense of order again, I can't see anyone caring. Then we can talk about a possible path to citizenship for the rest.

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.

This lady is Trump level stupid. They are talking about revoking her citizenship and deporting her too. They are calling it denaturalization. ??

Lets go after naturalized citizenship ? These dirty people voted for us White Folks to DEPORT THEM ALL! LETS GET BUSY TRUMp AND DEPORT ALL BROWN AND BLACK PEOPLE!!!

Stephen Miller plans on stripping naturalized citizens of their citizenship and deporting them. Next will be natural-born US citizens who are not white, Christian, or conservative.

She is as narcissistic as Trump. She ignores that Stephen Miller tweeted that they will turbocharge denaturalization process which means that a lot of people will have their US citizenship revoke and they will probably include this woman. This woman needs to get off her high horse because nobody is safe.

Sorry Guardian but no one that mentioned their degrees actually have any education or skills that Canadians are lacking, the SKILLED TRADES. The gov are just letting in people and students who are filling up a glut in the market of white collar jobs, none of these people at the Institute for Canadian Citizenship who mentioned their degrees actually have skilled trades, it's just more of the same. So more competition for white collar jobs while we're STILL not bringing in enough skilled trades people. This is a recipe to turn this country poor.

How exactly do you expect me to fit in? I've spoken English and lived here since the age of 2. I celebrate Halloween and Christmas but not Pride Month, and I don’t eat Canadian food regularly. If fitting in means doing all those things, then I have questions. I thought living here meant I could eat whatever I want and celebrate the festivals I like, such as Eid or Diwali, without anyone interfering. As long as I’m not causing trouble—which I never do—why should anyone dictate how I live?\n\nBeing '100% Canadian' is impossible for me because I prefer staying true to myself. This has been my country for a long time, so telling me to 'go back' makes no sense.\n\nAlso, let’s not forget how Canada’s history involves forcing European traditions onto Indigenous people. In the end, aren’t we all dealing with the same issues? For example, I’m not coming here telling anyone to convert to my culture, eat my food, or join my festivals. I respect others’ choices, and I expect the same respect in return.\n\nAnd by the way, if anyone feels 'forced' by certain communities, like Khalistanis, maybe that’s something to take up with your government—they brought those people here, not us. those are the the one in no fly list that your gov decided to take in and give them citizenship and causing trouble and being violent

She clearly doesn't know that Project 2025 contains a section that discusses 'Denaturalization.' Which entails revocation of citizenship of foreign born people without AND WITH a green card.\n\ni.e. — She may have voted to have 'herself' deported. The plan does not specifically focus on where you were born but, instead, where your grandparents were born.

It astonishes me just how F-ing stupid Trump voters can be !!! This DA woman thinks she is SAFE !!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!! Your Orange Jesus CLEARLY said that ALL…..ALL ….. ALL Hispanics are on the deportation list !!!! EVEN IF YOU ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS NOW ! Can’t wait to see her MAGA YEARS when she is in the line to be sent back !!! And does she have birthright children and grandchildren ?????? Looks like they may be on the list ???? ??? !!! He is getting ready to try to remove that that birthright citizenship clause too if he can ! But now that he will have total control on EVERY part of the government , like the song say …. “ Ain’t no stopping him now” !!!!!

Wow, who needs enemies with someone like her in your family! Doesn't care if anyone in her family are deported.. No wonder they don't talk to her because she voted for Trump.. I would laugh if they found a 'problem' with her citizenship & deported her too! Karma ?

Canada is the super wild West of the rich. Only the truly rich people can live and survive in Ontario and BC. Sad truth is most immigrants come to Canada to get the citizenship because they cant go anywehere else, esp the US ???

Ask plenty of Latinos who are legally in the US and they will agree with this lady. Imagine busting your ass off to get a green card and citizenship the right way only for millions of people to cross through illegally expecting the same benefits

Canadian Citizenship is handed out far too freely . If they want to come to Canada , welcome , BUT it should take 8 years to qualify to EARN Citizenship . Merit Points Earned , be taking after hour studies in Canadian History , Politics , and learning either or both of the founding languages French or English . By participating in proper pronunciation Classes . And NO Criminal records ,! or affiliations with groups that are a threat to Canada , or it's Allies C A McLean

She’d be no different from the illegals if Trump gets his way with naturalization and birth right citizenship. And many of those self hating hispanics fail to see that lol

Now that she has citizenship, she thinks she’s too good for her family members and feels superior what a pendeja.. vieja estúpida y ignorante.

No one is talking about birthright citizenship. Is that an issue? Would any change require an amendment?

Much love to this woman. Thank you for coming over here THE RIGHT WAY. Very happy to have her and i hope her life over here was everything she hoped it would be and more. It makes me sad that her family wont talk to her because shes in support of following the law to keep the opportunities of citizenship equal as possible

Project 2025 will deport her even if she has US citizenship ?? she has no idea what Steven Miller meant America' is for Americans only ? white nationalist ? ay que pendjeda she was used for her vote ? now she will be deported and now her family will laugh at her in old mexico

No other country in the world allows you within their borders for 20-30 years and not apply for citizenship or residency…

A Green Card is for Legal Permanent Residency - revokeable if one commits a crime.\n\nIt can be used to apply for American Citizenship. Therefore if this woman hasnt did so ( which involves passing a Citizen test), she's Not an American citizen, her nationality is Mexican.\n\nTrump stated that legals will be deported if they're have been on any type of long term claiming of various benefits - so no contribution from them to the US.

This is getting ready to be the equivalent of the Germans hiding Jewish people. So I guess this is gonna be a police state with ICE having the power to ransack law abiding citizens homes? Get ready for more rioting when they have gone to wrong addresses and used deadly force. I guess im the only one that sees the whole picture. Yes they shouldn't have come illegally but the horse is out of the barn already. Give them temporary citizenship and deport the lawbreakers.

Does she know he wants to get rid of people that have legal status too? I wonder if she'll change her opinion when her citizenship is stripped and she's sent packing ?

She needs to understand that tRump made it nearly impossible to gain citizenship legally. He enacted countless immigration laws that only added to the red tape in the already underfunded and inundated immigration courts.

This after already giving Canadian citizenship to designated criminals and te rrorists who fled from India. And also letting their representative become part of Canadian Parliament.

What people don't understand is that you can't just start a process in any country unless you have and meet the grounds for starting a process. Each process has its own regulations. Example: For asylum to take place, you have to prove you have a well founded fear of persecution from your home country due to your race, religion, or political opinion. Most of the illegals claiming asylum base on economic hardship, or violence from local gangs, will not win an asylum case. Wanting a better life for your family is not considered valid grounds. The same with legal status: You have to first become a resident which means you have to be petitioned by an immediate family member ( A Parent or sibling with a legal status in the US). Depending who petitioned you, it can be a very lengthy process, up to 26 yrs if your sibling submitted the application! Process is much faster for spouses and kids of US Citizens. Only after several years as a legal resident can you apply for Citizenship. Spouses married to US Citizens is 3 yrs, IF you know english. If you don't you might have to wait till you are 65, when you qualify for the test to be in your native language, but only if you have been a resident more than 20 yrs and so forth. As you can see doing it legally, is a lengthy process, but all these caravans think they can just march in and let the countries accept them without going thru the process and it has caused major problems all the way around. That's why the laws must be enforced to eliminate these invasions!

The fact that we have so many people in the US undocumented and living here for decades tells us that our legal process is not sufficient for allowing people to come legally. Having that many people tells us we need to treat this as a policy problem, not an individual-making-bad-choices problem. And spending billions of dollars on border patrol tactics that still allow for so many illegap immigrants tell us that our resources are grossly misspent. Plus we treat legal asylum seekers as if they were illegal (depriving people of food, keeping them from crossing in the first place) so people will choose whatever method will get them here. People can be here legally for well over a decade before getting a green card and then even longer to get citizenship.

Learn english and pass your citizenship test.

She ain’t no Mexican American she’s a Mexican who thinks she’s American just cause she got her citizenship & can speak some English, Gurl bye ? take back “OUR” country like she wasn’t born in Mexico this here is what you call a vende patrias

Maecos Rubio is a son of 2 cuban imigrant aliens, what are we talkig about? Take his citizenship away from him too.

She obviously doesn’t know that even naturalized Latinos with legal citizenship may be deported. This new administration’s evil doers are said to be going after Latinos who ARE citizens. They want a way to take away their naturalized status, (Stephen Miller is heading this effort.) This would include kids born in this country who’ve never known anything different but the US. I’d think that this could put HER at risk. Her cruelty and lack of empathy is disgusting.

Wow! Now that Trump won, I would love to see her face when they knock on her door, revoking her Citizenship, sending her back to Mexico. She is in for a very hard slap in the face from her beloved Orange Idiot Dictator!

First God forgive for talking like that and probably ( I hope) she doesn’t mean it .\nShe doesn’t realize ( how?) that rules to get citizenship when she came were probably ( very likely) different than now. \nAt some point 80s you just needed to stay in the country five years to get the residence.\nNow is virtually impossible less you met a USA citizen and fall in love, etc etc but otherwise , by one self is very hard .\nThe way this woman is talking is too harsh with family that’s been in USA for decades . \nShe hates all of them? She sounds miserable. \nShe is not the only one like that so is that only politics?\n\nDoes she know how long may take so they can apply again and IF they give it the visa , probably not.\nThis woman really sounds very very bitter.

For the record..............\nThere is almost no possibility of coming back to the USA legally once u have been deported, unless u have proof of US citizenship.\nIf u have a green card, it will be canceled. \nIf u have no paperwork and leave the US, u are subject to a (likely) 10 year BAN from entering the US or applying for a visa or paperwork (Republicans in Congress passed that law - IIRAIRA in 1996) \nAnd if u apply for a US visa at any consulate outside of the USA after the ban has expired, u need a WAIVER for being in the US illegally (which is separate from the visa application) or ur application will be denied on the spot.

Gurl you dont get it, your family wont get to apply but you go on believing that. She also doesnt realize that they are evaluating immigration citizenships too

Newsflash, lady. You will be deported, as well. Any naturalized citizen will lose their citizenship and be deported immediately. Project 2025 calls for denaturalization.

In South Asia Bihari Indian migrants has over flooded Nepal and now falsely and shamelessly pose as Nepalese encouraged and helped by Indian government. We will soon revoke their citizenships and deport them. Major source of headaches for Nepal since their arrival.

He plans to take away birthright citizenship from immigrant kids. But not from his son if you read the tea leaves his son was born before Melania got her citizen so if he wants to take away some kid citizenship he may want to start with his 18 years old son.

Yea she is not all there. I agree with immigrants coming here legally but for everyone that is already here and had kids and a life established, pay taxes, and the whole 9.... they should not get deported. Doesnt makes sence. Now if they want to apply that moving forward to any one that ogers over the boarder and even if they arrive pregnantnd give birth her. Kids shouldnt have citizenship in that case. \n\nAnd for us that did come here legally, well we shouldn't be touched either. doesnt mkae sence.

Just a doubt did you guys leave your citizenship after bitching a lot about Canada ?

I wonder is she read about Project 2025's denaturalization proposal where her citizenship can be taken away and she could be sweet away with the rest of the trash. Do she think she's excluded with a name like Rodriguez?

Only the illegals that are receiving freebies and criminals will have to go. Other illegal immigrants who have jobs and work towards getting citizenship will not get deported.

The people like Miller are already talking about taking away citizenship from people who aren't born here. So good luck to this uninformed and frankly much deserved voter who thinks it won't be her.

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

A green card is NOT the same as citizenship! You can still be deported. Also, I wouldn’t put anything past this administration to deport as many migrants as possible….starting with those easiest to round up and can be identified…like green card holders and asylum seekers. They are the easiest to locate and identify to satisfy MAGA. He WILL make that a priority.

She came to this country n took someone who had full citizenship JOB . Now she is collecting someone else benefits probably. Why she still here deport her n family. TRUMP ??? we pull the Trojan ? on her now her and family adiós!

She doesn’t understand that her ass will be deported too. It’s called Decentralization idiot. Just because you got your green card or citizenship you can be deported. You have to be born here that’s the only way you will be safe. Do your research on Project 2025

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

I hear this story from immigrants here in the Netherlands as well. They had to go to a difficult period to get citizenship in the Netherlands, and so must everyone else. The pure selfishness of it all. ??

I wonder if all her paperwork was 100% done correctly? The last Trump administration we deported veterans that were promised citizenship if they served because paperwork wasn’t done perfectly. Would you bet your life on 100% perfection and 100% proper record keeping? Heck the records of my parent’s divorce were lost in a fire so my mom had to ask my dad if he still had the paperwork 40 yrs later when she needed it for something.
