she stood in line for hours and days to get her green card, if only it were that easy these days!

I bet she came here illegally too. Nobody stands in line and gets a green card. ?

This is awful, an old woman shaming his own blood line in public. This is disgusting.

Waiting for hours and days is not long. I am married to a man from Haiti whose family had to wait 11 years. They should all wait in line, but if they are already here and working without a criminal background, they should apply. You should not skip the line because you are next to the US. But her putting her family under the bus is crazy.

WHAT LINE DID SHE STAND IN FOR ĤOURS AND DAYS?

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

I have questions maybe some of you could answer 1. How is he going to locate these people? is it stopping people in the street? Is it going to be a national tip line? Is it door knocking? Is busting doors? 2. What organization is he going to use? Ice? Police? Military? National guard? All of the above? 3. Are they going to be issued a u must leave notice or arrested in handcuffs? 4. Which country are you going to send them to? Mexico? Their original country? 5. If it’s their original country are you gonna fly them there? On a boat? 6. If these illegals have family member who are legal is he gonna deport the whole family or just the illegal? Is he gonna separate legal children from illegal parents? Or illegal children from legal parents? 7. What is going to qualify as proof of citizenship or here legally ? Birth certificate, passport? Social security number? Green card? (Because we know he doesn’t trust birth certificates ?) if you believe in deportation or not these are the questions you should be asking

These ppl don't understand how things work, trumped just gave America to be there worst selves. Even the ppl who lost houses and life savings behind his trump Soho scams. Hate will override common sense and details! Trump supporters holla about policies but can't tell you nothing about them, just repeat what they here on fox news and CNN. I care about this country so I hope and pray he does a good job, I hope he has someone on his staff with a good mind, if you are the smartest person in the room, than you need to change the room. Somewhere down the line we started to believe that bigotry and hate is strong qualities to lead a country. No wall ever saved a country or empire. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

You don’t “stand in line for hours and days” to get a green card. You have a sponsor apply for a visa, wait until you are called for a visa interview. When that gets approved, you come to the US on a flight. Then when eligible, your sponsor files an adjustment of status. That requires another interview, which you are notified of time and date. When that gets approved, your green card can be issued. The green card is then mailed. The process takes years.

America needs to call a self harm prevention line. Lol

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 entered the country illegally. We will remove them. They skip the line and expect a free pass paid for by the American people. Once they are home, they can try to come back here again the legal way.

A silver lining. ?. Turd has destroyed our once true north strong and free.

Dumb broad is just pissed off that she stood in line for hours and days. Those others just crossed rhe Chihuahuan desert with littl to no food and water, faced venomous animals, and risked crossing the paths of roving bandits and murderers.\nYeah old broad really sacrificed.

She thinks because she stood in line for a few hours and got her Green card legally that she's able to stay here and that the other family members just ran across the border but some people are running away from the cartel or gangs and don't have the time or the money to wait for years for their paperwork to get processed! Let's see what happens to her when she takes all that Trump stuff off and start speaking Spanish

Asylums is from a war-torn region to the first safe country not the 40th down the line and we're not second or third pick Canada has done its part now we have to take care of our own people our own children deserve houses jobs being able to go to a doctor being able to go to school

What is wrong with deportation of immigrants that didn't want to stand in line and seek asylum legally

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

She suffered so much standing in line for days...?

We know Obama gave him a great economy. Can't wait to see how he doesn't what a bad economy. Legacy on the line but I'm sure he going to fumble the ball.

Ma'am advise some illegal immigrants from Mexico to go back in the line!! As a asian woman, I'm tired of these illegal immigrants coming here and feeling intitled.I stood in the line for hours to come here the right way.and Also, Trumph needs to hunt these factories, hiring illegals,and make them pay a hefty fine!! This lady is telling the truth.Put the wall.

The American tax payer thier should be a hot line to where can report these people and if you don't speak English that a dead give away

Time to tie up the immigration office's phone lines and hack their online system down. More econo-migrants get to come into this country when our economy is in tatters like this and it's just one more crime to add to the list against the government of Canada and the immigration bureaucracy.

Stood in line for hours and days to get a green card? Where?

It's not that we don't have empathy. It's about many doing the line and due process legally while seeing others cut line illegally in front of you and they are getting lots benefits, free housing, free food and many things that the one thay did everythinf legally dont get. Nobody in this chat is going to be happy with that. That's the bottom line, so stop ur fake virtue signaling because you know, you'de feel the same way.

Good to see illegals not jumping the line. I have been in the US legally from last 7 years, last year i payed 24000$ in taxes and it would take me 8 years just to get Green card. People breaking law should be punished not incentized.

Those that are working and contributing to society and taxes should get references from employers. Hopefully they can fall in line right after those who have legal immigration in process. It’s sad. But illegal is illegal. That is why we have laws. The left does not care for laws. Unless they they are trifling to prosecute political opponents.

Jamal is actually a brilliant man but I don’t think he chose the right line of employment. Cam’s father is a preacher also.

Line the border with our idle federal troops. They are there to protect us and our borders aren't they?

When she said she stood in line for days to get a Green card.\nThat's a lie back in the day it was easier.

Kyle Rittenhouse committed a violent crime. He should be the first person in line, to kick out of this fucked up country. If violent crime is the top reason.

She too can be revoked,none of us is special these people need to realize that standing in line 30 years doesn’t mean nothing ?‍♀️

That’s right mam, you said it perfectly. We have to take our country back. I stood in line for a long time to come here the right way. If my family is here wrongfully then they will have to go back. They must follow the rules.

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..........

Too many people are so uneducated about what Trump is really going to do!! They do NOT understand how tariffs work!! Unlike Kamala’s plan to stop the price gouging in the grocery stores…the GOP will drive prices through the roof!!! Anyone who voted for Trump has a lot of moments ahead of finding out what he was claiming he would do that 1) either he can’t because he doesn’t have the authority to just play God or 2) he had not intended the results that people thought in the first place!! \nBut it is truly going to be a scary time as we watch unemployment start to skyrocket, especially as he gets rid of career government employees!! The unemployment numbers under Biden soon will be a distant memory!! After all, Biden has continued to drop unemployment numbers on a monthly basis, breaking all prior records of low unemployment on a monthly basis for the past 4 years!! The inflation rate which did not include costs of food, were also dropping consistently including this past month!! I believe it under 3% by close to 1/2 a percentage point!\nBut what will truly be frightening will truly be if he accomplishes his plan to get rid of SSI, Medicare & Medicaid as well as the Affordable Care Act!! I’m sure millions are also hoping the $35 cap on Insulin doesn’t just stop before they have to pickup their next prescription! \nBottom line: when in our History have we ever faced a more frightening future at the whim of the Dictator in the White House??

HOLD THE LINE!

America you better get in line\nYou're about to get the Full Monty \nYour eyes will burn for a time\nBut, this is what you wanted..\nYou put the world's greatest power\nInto the hands of a simple tool\nWho trampled on our finest hour\nDriving to the house with your wool

This guy is delusional and will send America into abject poverty between this and their tariffs America will be totally impoverished and starving. Senior, disabled, veterans' poor women and children they don't care about anybody. In 2019, under tRump more illegals came in then during Obamas entire terms, the lines were longer creating health and sanitation issues on both side of the border, the wall is useless waste of time and money! God help save our planet!

CNN lady doesn’t understand, he’s explaining it to her and it doesn’t compute. It’s a crime to sneak into any country. Bottom line.

Do these people ever ask themselves who stands on a line and guts chickens 8-12 hours a day?

Canada can not accept illegals.\n\nLike it use to. Make immigration policy tight. \n\nRequire \nUniversity degree or skills education in a sector that requires workers.\n\nHave a job lined up\n\nHave enough funds to rent transport and min of 20k

No place for ILLEGAL and No more Illegal come to USA, please!!!\n\nIf you are in the US with a Valid Visa and comply with your Visa, then you are OK.\n\nIf you are a green card holder, then you are OK.\n\nOur family came here LEGALLY, from the front door, obeyed the law, paid taxes since the first year, never overstayed even 1 day!\n\nReceived our citizenship after 10 years!!!\n\nWhat makes others more special than us that they are allowed to cut lines?☝️ No No

What does she means she stood in line for days to get green card? That means she came to USA here illegally.

You think he care about that you standing in line waiting to vote you Go to.

Thing is these people pay taxes. Between 6 to 12 Billion a year. They pay into Social Security but don't get to take it out. SO if you get rid of these people where is that money going to come from? That's why Economists say in 6 years the SSI fund will be insolvent which means no money for seniors. And who exactly are going to go into the fields to pick the fruit and vegetables in pouring rain or 100 degree temperatures? I highly doubt Americans will be lining up to fill those positions! Seem the lunatic gets these great ideas without any thought of what the ramifications are. Not exactly a good trait in a President lol

Welcome, pick out your tent and the food bank line is over there.

What worries me is where are they going to get the money? They aren’t going to raise taxes on the wealthy. They need to fund the military in order to keep the population in line. They might take it from my social security or Medicare.

The territories, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands were put in the front line for the US too bad that they didn’t get a chance to vote because they can’t but I’ll tell you one thing if they did vote Trump would not be in office

He must got a new job lined up?

They shouldn’t have been allowed to cut the the line, break the law and bypass legal ports of entry in the first place.
