They are so heartless. Goes against all Christian teachings. And you think Americans are gonna say nothing when food costs skyrocket? And other sectors of activities? Also, I wish she would call out his lies!

Deporting undocumented immigrants will cause many small businesses to struggle. Who will do the work that most people don’t want to do—like agricultural jobs, dishwashing, and lawn care? Undocumented immigrants contribute more to this country than many realize, and they also pay taxes through their purchases. Food prices will rise if we deport them because most Americans won’t take these jobs for low wages. If Americans take on these roles, they are likely to demand higher pay, which would increase costs across the board. In the end, we would be hurting ourselves and our finances. It’s already challenging enough, with many Americans living paycheck to paycheck. I believe that a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants would be a serious mistake.

Canada does NOT need immigrants, she needs more homes, jobs and more English and French, not punjabi or mandarin, much less spanish. people from those areas contribute by and large, nothing and Canada appears to be adapting to immigrants , not immigrants not to Canada. Dont get me wrong, as an American I would be honored to move there and feel I would adapt to Canada 1984 quite easily. Trudeau, I mean Mr. Castro Jr. has to do SOMETHING to avoid an election.

Soon she will regret it! How ignorant can she be? I hope she’s sent back to Mexico by her favorite president just for being Hispanic. I’m Mexican American and would never vote for someone who hates me!!!

Shame on Dana !!!! All she cares about ILLEGALS and NOT the AMERICANS who were killed,raped or terrorized by them!!!! Maybe if it was someone she knew it would be different!!!!

Populist! As an American I would like how to do it his not telling us how to do it? They will go back by their own this just a BS.

who will clean the toilets and change the rooms in the high priced hotel rooms for 5$ hour. americans would have to live homeless on the streets on those wages and we know how republicans hate that. this will have a devastating effect on large business and food distribution chains. they were hiring illegals because they could ignore the laws regarding employees rights in working conditions and overtime. not just underpaying them but having them work under illegal conditions some using the field as their bathrooms. this will end badly and they will blame the other party for the fall out as usual. part of the minimum wage increase act was due to the fact the wages didn't match the cost of living. people couldn't afford to pay rent so they live in their car or on the streets and steal if necessary to make ends meet. these were americans doing this not illigals. people in the red states that voted for this will be the first to get burned as usual. it was the democratic party that offered the safety net for those red states.

American Action Forum, a conservative think tank, estimated arresting and removing all undocumented immigrants from the US would cost at least $100 billion and take 20 years.

As American citizen I move to Thailand 5 years ago, I legally came into this country, I have to report every 3 months to immigration, I have to show document that I have proof of income, I have to have sufficient income to live here, if not they would kick me out! There's no handouts here in Thailand, there's no crime, no racial tension! why a AMERICA can't do the same?

If the American people voted that you should defecate in your hand, would you do so?

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.

As first generation American all this endless whining is getting old. When my family came here, they all had to have a health certificate and a sponsor that guaranteed they would have employment and housing waiting for them when they got here. If not, they weren’t going to be allowed on the boat to start with. No free housing, health care, food or education. \n \n\n So what part of ILLEGAL ALIEN isn’t being understood. This kind of nonsense isn’t allowed in virtually any other country on the planet. Try to cross into Mexico or Canada illegally and see where you end up. The argument is Americans don’t want to do the jobs that the illegals do yet back in the day Americans did do these jobs. The problem is too many Americans today think jobs that require physical labor are beneath them and too many are getting paid way too much for what the job they’re doing entails. Sorry but flipping burgers and asking if you want fries with that IS NOT a job worth $15 or $20 bucks an hour.

15 million illegal immigrants can into the US under joe biden? That's bullshit. That's like saying there was no illegal crossing under Trump. What even crazier is most Americans those that say cost was the biggest issue will be shocked when the chickens to factory have to pay $20 an hour and the cost is passed on. Must people ignore the workers in the hotels or in the back of the kitchens, landscaping etc and would not be happy working for those wages. These people live a life most Americans could not fathom. Let's see how that goes.

My Heart ❤️ breaks ?,,,, No Empathy for children, Elderly, Americans are Racist, God Would not be ok with this… Such a UGLY MANDATE

We must hold those foreign nationals who violated America’s immigration law accountable. Our immigration and border security law was largely written by our, Lion of the Senate, Ted Kennedy. He promised Americans said if his immigration law was enacted into law we would no longer need amnesty for those in the country illegally, and our borders would be secure. As Democrats, we must keep the promise made to the American people by the late senator Ted Kennedy.

It was announced today on the news that the Trump initiative to deport all illegal immigrants will cost up to $1 trillion dollars. That’s a lot of moolah. Which will come out of our taxes. And the tariffs that he went on and on about. Companies aren’t giving out bonuses to workers for end of year. Because they have to save money now because Trump will impose tariffs on incoming goods. The workers didn’t understand they assumed the cost would be paid by importers. In reality, it will trickled down to American consumers who have to pay for goods. Economists have been saying during the election this is a bad idea.Trump tried to do it the last time he was in office and it didn’t work. So people be aware you think you can’t afford things now wait you won’t be able to afford anything. PS the government has nothing to do with price gouging for food and they don’t set the price for gasoline or electricity, etc. ????

It's interesting how these people who wear flag clothes don't know the Flag Code and how disrespectful this is to the American Flag.\n\nMaybe some of these people will be on the deportation lists. That would be fun.

the comment section are so brainless. If they voted for this, they are American citizens. How would they be deported?\n\ncan yall use your brains and think before commenting?

They’re not going to deport those people- Republicans just use that as a talking point for elections to gin up their racist base. News flash: the shadow, black market, undocumented labor force is integral to the American economy. Without that cheap labor the cost of everything would increase exponentially…

You do realize it’s not just Latinos that would be getting deported. Mass deportation also includes Africans, Haitians, Arabs, Egyptians, etc. Do you think an ICE officer will cares enough to differentiate between a Black American born in the US and say a Black Honduran ?? What about families who are mixed race and one parent is US born while the other isn’t? Then what? I’m immensely disappointed by Latinos voting for this man, but mass deportation isn’t “cut and dry” where it’s only going to effect one group. It’s going to impact TONSSS of people across the board.

There not in the U.S. to commit crimes, dont even make sense, why would a person go to the U.S. to work want to commit a crime? and then be deported, they came for work, instead of migrant, the U.S. needs to go after Americans who are the vest majority of criminals and gangs in gangland U.S.A, your deporting hard working mostly decent people and family's, they just exaggerate as to make stupid people believe these people being deported are real criminals, dont even try to deport criminals American to Mexico

The Americans were smart to vote the wokeness out after only one term, not like here where the Canadian society votes for wokeness time and time again, and would rather tax themselves into poverty in hopes of changing the weather

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.

Trumps America ?? would rather have FAT WHITE LAZY AMERICANS than hard-working immigrants....This idiot is an ignorant woman, no idea what she's in for ?

Trump may have won the 2024 election, will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2025 to become the 47th U.S. President, but Trump isn’t my president. Allow me to explain. There are certain attributes that define a U.S. president. A U.S. president places the citizens of this country ahead of his own personal interests. Trump doesn’t do that (hasn’t done that). Trump is self serving. On Jan ’21, Trump became an insurrectionist. Many citizens and police officers were injured and one police officers lost his life. According to the Constitution (the Supreme Court disagrees with me), Trump incited citizens to overthrown the certification of the 2020 election. Insurrection is one of the lowest acts any American can do, let alone a U.S. President. Trump states that the “insurrection” falls under immunity for “official acts”. Since when is “insurrection” an “official presidential duty”? Trump is a known Master Liar. This is beyond a moment when a president estimates, guesses and exaggerate numbers, figures and facts. Trump just lies – over 2k+ lies. Trump cannot be trusted in telling Americans the truth. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a lie flies out! Trump doesn’t appear to be able to help himself. One lie after another. Spreading the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” and not providing legal evidence is an unforgivable act that Americans should #NEVER forget. MAGA, selected GOP, Christian Nationalists don’t appear to be troubled that Trump cannot tell the truth. To me, the truth strengthens the bond of trust – I have NO Trust for Trump! MAGA, Christian Nationalists and some selected GOP – I may use big words that you don’t comprehend such as: Liar, Convicted Felon, sexual misconduct, Insurrection, Fraud, election interference, Unauthorized Possession of classified documents. These are some, not ALL, of the words that defines Trump and his actions. These things do NOT appear to cause any concerns with the 71.2m people who cast their vote in the Nov 5th ’24 presidential election. Trump had unauthorized possession of classified material. (I am not certain what Classified Material Trump possessed, but if these documents would put my friends, my family and I in harm’s way – it’s a problem.) Again, those who voted for Trump, the 71.2m people, #NEVER thought about this. If they had, Trump would #NEVER have received their vote. America has a short attention span. How quickly have we forgotten that Trump’s inaction of Covid-19 could have prevented many from becoming ill and millions losing their lives. (If one of your loved ones have passed due to Covid-19, you will remember Trump’s inability to deal and handle the situation. It is something you will #NEVER forget.) I will not write a book here, but the listed reasons above is why Trump may be the 47th President of the United States, but he isn’t my president. My president would have #NEVER done these things to an American.

I have a feeling that undocumented immigrants who don't bother anyone will be among those who will be deported. I don't think Trump and his team thought this through, especially about how huge an undertaking this would be. Those immigrants don't scare me. I'm more scared of some of my fellow Americans.

Since Trump made his intentions clear, during his first terms, and Americans re-elected anyways, it would appear that this is what Americans want, despite the inevitable problems it will cause for all Americans.

Quit spreading this crap already. he said he would deport ILLEGAL immigrants. That's it. Quit spewing your crap news. Obviously, the American people do not beleive a word you say..

UK will be forced to deport our illegals by the people here, who are protesting at the destruction of our nation. How would Americans feel if flying their great flag were fine £1000 for show their flag? That's what we have here in England ! Some of u are still sleeping.

Who will pick the crops to will help feed Americans....who will help maintain homes that are in need of repair or fixes\nAmericans if that was totally they would not have been here from the start

Hey CNN how proud do you feel???? \nTrumps reelection is ALL on you!!! You had a job to do before trump was given this power!!!!\nGOOD F’N JOB CNN!!!!\n\nI hope trump does EVERYTHING he promised he would ‘do’ to you!!!!!\nGood luck Americans but your stupidity is overwhelming, and now the world is laughing at you!!!! We were laughing at you over the prospect of even having the likes of Trump even running for president but now he is your president/dictator!!!! Wow great job Americans!!!!!!!

I hope he starts with the Latin American men who voted for him. That would be amazing and he'd have my full support.

America... It is disgusting that so many Americans would throw away their 200 year old Constitution for Republican's project 2025 communist manifesto-! America is now a new Russia with the Trump crime family in charge. Clearly the election fraud is on the part of the Republican cheats-! Those Americans who voted Trump a Convict sex-offender in Office deserve every hardship that Trump's disaster economic plan brings down on them. What side will Trump defend if the EU and NATO engage Russia in a full scale war or nuclear war-? Would it be Russia-? Or will it be NATO and EU-?

I guess you people didn’t learn did you? Mass Deportations best thing we have heard since yesterday when we were told trump won. If you cared about democracy like you claim, and you cared about American people like you claim, you would stand behind this deportation of illegal undocumented immigrants. They are here illegally. Keep up the good work your station will be shut down before you know it.

She's a liar no TRUE Mexican American would do that to their own family ?

These simple minded individuals are not doing research\n\nHad she did research before Trump took office the first time she would have come across a video of Trump saying it would be nice to have a Country with just Blonde hair and Blue eyes People living in it \n\nWhen the Interviewer asked where would that Country be he replied why not America\n\nThat would leave her out \n\nHad she done her research she would know that \nChina has taken over Mexico as having the most immigrants coming into America \n\nI'm not against Chinese they have a right to come here \n\nMexican's aren't the problem Trump put fear into the minds and hearts of the simple minded Americans \n\nThis Country was built on the backs of Immigrants

When she started with 'we need to take our country' back, I began to think she meant Mexican-Americans need to take back their country that was originally part of Mexico but was taken from them by the United States. eg Texas and other border states. Isn't that what the immigration north is all about? Taking back country? Of course the people who should really have the right to take back their country are the Indian Nations. They would be justified in deporting any families whose ancestors were illegal immigrants and did not get the equivalent of a green card from the original owners. I find it fascinating that descendants of illegal immigrants are so antagonistic to more recent illegal immigrants. 'We were illegal first! So we have the right to stop you illegals now!' ?

WHAT A WONDERFUL MEXICAN-AMERICAN NAZI SHE IS! SHE WOULD DESTROY HER FAMILY MEMBER'S LIVES & IS FINE WITH THEM LOSING EVERYTHING THEY HAVE EVER OWNED & WORKED FOR! THIS IS THE KIND OF NAZI BITCH YOU COULDN'T TELL THAT YOU WERE HIDING ANNE FRANK! THIS PERSON IS NOT DOING WHAT JESUS SAID TO DO, TO WELCOME THE REFUGEES. JESUS & MARY, & JOSEPH WERE REFUGEES! JUST WAIT TILL SHE FINDS OUT SHES GETTING DEPORTED TOO!

Not being born in America, this dumb ass would go back to Mexico under Trump. He only wants American born citizens. Im Hispanic and she's born Mexican we're different in our thoughts and believes. They are hard workers, but very funny. Like their here and don't help their race better themselves.

My family is Mexican-American. We have been here for generations. We were legalized also generations ago, but we would never wish for deportation on anyone. That'd be scary af, and to listen to this lady is just disappointing.

In Trump’s eyes, she’s not Mexican American, just Mexican, and he would happily send her back to Mexico. She’s dreaming if she thinks Trump is for her.

To hear the heartless words of this woman to say her family can be deported back is very cold. The same family members you would need as you get older who probably won't be there for you now. SMH. ?. To really think that man care about you. Every chance he gets with every nationality he wants to disrespect call names and that is not the American way. He talks about the immigrants in a very bad way lady I hope your vote wasn't cast yet ?

Our country back??....They would put your behind on a bus in a minute...and I thought Mexicans were Americans. Your a ? coconut

Not realizing that AS SOON AS she opens her mouth and her accent is revealed--Ma'am, you would be deported with them without time to prove your American status. Unreal.

I bet if this reporter was to dig into her past, she's here illegally with her fake papers. \nI am a 2nd generation American who is also a Mexican. I do not understand why any of my ppl would vote for that thing. Those that do, are in for a violent awakening if he should win. I don't think he & his administration would stop with just illegals. Their dream is of an all white Nation. \nI pray democracy wins ?????

WOW! This lady would be ok being deported as well, not just her family members, but herself. Is she one of the ones coming from an asylum in Mexico, or from a jail? Could she be one of the criminals, rapists, poisoning the blood of Americans, that the orange rapist said they were? ROACHES FOR RAID!

Stupid woman doesn't understand she would be in the group to be deported. American visa or not, she's from Mexican heritage and colored thus the Draftdodger won't give anything about her. Sorry dear, you're the wrong race and wrong color.

That old lady is absolutely and outright lying. First off, she stood in lines for hour or days to get her green card? That means she came at a time when immigration was much easier and wanted, to increase gdp and to do the jobs normal Americans didn’t want to. Now, immigration takes forever, many years in fact, because the older republican white generation figured out that they yet again the minority, which has never actually changed. But republicans now use the immigration card because it’s literally their only option, why do you think Trump stopped the bill. He would be losing so much support. Also, for that old Mexican lady to say those things about her own family, tells me, she is not someone who cares for others or may even care at all. She became a racist just like the republicans and her family should be ashamed of her. Lastly, different times of immigration, this time around, those leaving other countries are trying to save their families lives, having to deal with authoritarian dictators, drug cartels and corrupt governments. She may have had some of that, but I doubt it, she just wanted to move here and make a better life for herself, screw her loved ones. She is an abomination and one of the reasons this country has lost itself, if a Mexican immigrant cannot feel sympathy or empathy for those people in a very similar situation than that person has truly been corrupted by the republicans “all about me” mantra.

New American citizen here\nVoted for Kamala/Walz in NJ yesterday.\n\nThis woman is a disgrace! Trump would deport you just by looking at you and hearing your last name. Shame on you!
