Standing up to the Bully. Canada too. Love it. Don't love Trump! Can't even look at him without wanting to throw up. A rapist and felon to be our President is repulsive, I don't care what anyone says. It's the truth. He's rotten to the core.

“Trump says Mexico has been taking advantage of a very unbalanced trade agreement, in his first term. Biden did a review on Trump’s tariff and decided not to reverse that.” Booyah! As always, look at the substance of his policies. You all should know even my Mexican friends know that their corrupt govt bureaucrats keep all the USforeign aid money to enrich themselves. It doesn't trickle down to its people.

Trump has no clue and I’m guessing no one around him will enlighten him. I’m looking forward to an increase in prices isn’t everyone? ?

Canada, <sigh>. I was born in the English part of Quebec. My wife and I left Canada for the United States when the rest of Canada let Quebec destroy our English communities. I never looked back until Trump won in 2016. Now, in 2024 I'm looking for a new place. Maybe New Zealand?

Look it freekland kissing Trumps ass.

The conservatives are looking to mandate harsh jail terms for such fraud. Pierre and his Conservative party are going to clean up immigration fraud in Canada just as Donald trumps conservatives are about to do in two months.

People like her need to get a clue. Trump called your Mexican rapist, drug dealers and murderers. He looks down on them and she is good with that.

??A WISE PERSON ONCE SAID.\nBE GOOD TO THE ONE YOU MEET GOING UP, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME ONE YOU WILL MEET GOING DOWN.\nNEVER EVER FORGET YOUR ROOTS NO MATTER HOWE RICH YOU ARE.....\nIDIOT IN TRUMP EYES YOU ARE A MEXICA ,HAVE YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR.????

Very dumb Mexican woman. There’s an article back in the 90’s where Trump said if he ever ran for president. He’d run republican, because they’re DUMB! Look it up. Google??

Small correction - After more votes have been counted it looks like Trump will not win a majority of the popular vote, it is down to 50.00% with still more votes to be added, and you should wait until all votes have finished being counted before stating that he won a majority of the popular vote.\n\n\nAlso I hope the other commenters realise that almost all people crossing the southern boarder are legal migrants claiming asylum legally. Anyone walking up to the US and claiming asylum legally must have their case judged and are legally allowed to remain in the US whilst that happens.

Every major US city is struggling to budget for illegal immigrants. This is why trump has done so well in cities, poorer Americans find themselves in direct competition with illegal immigrants for government resources. If you looked at figures like the number of encounters at the southern border and the amount spent on illegal immigrants this would make it obvious why Americans are upset. Instead you just paint poor Americans as xenophobic and don't even give that view a fair representation. Classic elitist bias.

Look at those flags, hats, shirts, etc, pretty right? Hell, NO. THOSE ARE THE SAME IDIOTS WHO CAN'T AFFORD EGGS ! Look at the beer bellies. Can't afford milk but can buy beer, right? My taxes go to help pay for your health care. Why do you need it since you don't give a damn about your health to begin with! Oh yea, like trumps non-existent exercise program, the body's strength only has a finite limit it can handle.

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” !!!!!

This woman and Latinos like here are delusional. For MAGA, it is not really about how they got here, right or wrong, it is simply about “numbers”. They don’t understand that Donald Trump. Steven Miller, Elon Musk, and MAGA, wants to see LESS PEOPLE WHO LOOKS LIKE HER ! \n\nTHEY WANT YOU “GONE” !

Bye,,,if these immigrants are illegal. That's a huge number (11,000,000), so what's really going on...Good job! Moreover, if Trump is successful, there will be more supplies and jobs for blacks! I didn't vote for Trump, but I do support border patrol/control. Hell even Latinos voted for trump. Black ppl can't look out for each other, but always worried about other races. JUST STOP!!!! Hell, I want some border patrol/control in GA, this should be a mandate for each STATE! is this in project 2025???

Don’t worry, she’ll be singing a completely different tune this time next year when those P2025 measures begin to be implemented. It’s just too bad that people with common sense will be forced to suffer along side the people who voted for the chaos that is coming. \n\nI am also amazed by how many people voted, THEN decided to look up the candidates proposed policies. There was one woman who voted for Trump, and then said how excited she was because now, she could get the $25,000 down payment assistance for a new home. ??‍♀️ (For those who may not know, that was a Harris proposal). Take some time to look up all of the stories of people who are contacting state officials to find out how to change their vote…as if THAT has ever been possible. ?

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.

Hunger Games. I can see Trump riding by looking at you.

We the people TRUMP THE GOVERMENT. WE THE PEOPLE WANT THEM GONE. THEY CAN COME BACK. ONLY LEGALLY. LOOK THE GOVERMENT FOR PASS 4 YEAR CORRUP? SO WE THE PEOPLE SAY IT AND START WORKING FOR US. U ASS HOLES.

She's obviously have been brainwashed to believe the false narrative that's spewed by Trump. She doesn't even realize that the overwhelming majority of immigrants come here authorized just like she did. She also don't realize that he's not just going after immigrants who are here unauthorized but authorized as well. When she's profiled based on what she looks like and is shipped to the border to get deported despite being here authorized, she'll regret these words.

Little does she know the Trump presidency is also going to look for every excuse they can to also get rid of legal immigrants. Don't cry to me when that happens. She voted for it. She can deal with it. ?

She ain’t American trump looks at her like the Help! How do you turn on your family and race for Hitler 4.0! Dang idiots she needs to be deported! God said love our neighbor! All these religious folks being racist and inhumane! God should destroy there homes and let’s see how fast Cheese head help them!! Talking about she Mexican American HA! What a joke!

Hey. Where are all the California and Texas Trump loving Mexicans and Latinos. You used to post your love for Trump every day. LOL. Donald is looking for you to deport on Jan 20. Mark it on your calendar. You can run, but you can hide. Your voter registration has all your information. Pack your bags. Good bye suckers.

If this is what it takes to teach these people who voted against their own friends and families, so be it. I have lost all sympathy for the right wing. They went full religiously driven nutty with an obsession with believing every little crazy story and never looked back. Every person I meet that give me cooky vibes or talks about Jesus or some sort of outdated fucked up thing is a Trumper and nothing will change their minds. Everyone now has at least one relative who, on the surface, would appear to be a perfectly logical person but ask them to justify why they love Trump so much and they give you some totally wacky fact or false claim about some sort of random thing in our world like social security or trans people or immigration and cant seem to wrap their minds around the idea that it isn't true and that those claims are being used to manipulate them.

Trump looks at his followers as a means to an end. How ironic.

This is one dumb Mexican ... Trump don't give two shits about her legal or otherwise. His America includes only those that looks like him....period! She said take out country back...boo boo that slogan wasn't meant for YOU...

Trump is going to deport all of you. If you are hispanic, ICE is coming for you. Trump administration see you all the same and you gave him another opportunity to deport you. His cabinet is looking to set a record good, bad, otherwise will not matter to ICE. Also immigrants can get benefits without a ssn. You have to be a citizen to be provided an ssn. Dis-information has help your deportation happen. 1 million will be gone before the mid terms.

Looks like after 2028 Trump is adding more lawsuit on him after his Presidency again.

She thinks she's better than her relatives because she did it the right way. Typical. She looks down on her relatives. Just a mean person and in that case not surprised at all she's for Trump

What most MAGA supporters don't realize is that we're currently living in Trump's economy. The reality is that while he wasn't in office, he used the House as his own personal veto to block any substantial legislature from passing under Biden/Harris, so it makes them look incompetent. The economy bottoms out, countries go to war, the border explodes. I won't say it's all Trump's fault, however. As with the border, just like when Trump wanted to get rid of Obamacare but didn't have anything to replace it, Biden removed Trump's border policies with nothing to replace it. At least Trump didn't get rid of Obamacare without having something to replace it. Just too many mistakes on Democrats part, and too much interference from Trump from the outside. Now Trump will have unchecked power, just one step closer to a dictatorship.

You wait when she goes out after he gets into office. Does she not realize that they will not know whether she is legal or not. Her accent and her looks. She got hers and she is so selfish she wants to hurt them by voting for him. I bet she attends church regularly. Well, lady Jesus would be crying. Unfortunately i have met people in Arizona that think the same way. They don't want to share. She had better wear all the trump gear after he is in office. She might be rounded up first.

Within 48 hours of TRUMP winning BEFORE HE EVEN GOT MOVED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. HE ALREADY CALLED TO STOP THE UKRAINE AND RUSSIAN WAR, Iran has AGREED TO CEASE FIRE, HE IS NOT GIVING ANY MORE MONEY TO ZELINSKY, AND INSTEAD USING WHAT WAS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO HIM FOR US. AMERICANS AND VETERANS WHO ARE HOMELESS, AND THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL, HES DECLARED WAR AGAINST THE MEXICAN CARTELS. DID I ALSO MENTION HE IS LOOKING INTO THE BLUE ACT WHERE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN LAUNDERING MONEY FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OT SHOWED THEY DONATED TO THE DEMOCRATS OVER 200 TIMES IN A YEAR WHEN THEY ARE SAYING THEYVE NEVER DONATED. YEAH.. HES INVESTIGATING THAT TOO. ALL WITHIN 48 HOURS… Do your own research and stop watching CNN if you are still a democrat

I am a Documented Legal Alien and married to an American citizen. I choose at this time to not apply for my citizenship as i dont want to have to apply to my own country of birth to enter again should i need to visit relatives there. However i have lived happily now for 20 years in the USA and have never looked back. We did our immigration LEGALLY and as much as i dislike D Trump. I do agree that undocumented Aliens who live here and married to an American' should not be here. We have the same issue in the United Kingdom and its far harder to deal with there, and there is an Ocean surrounding it. If you want to live here, learn the language, (English, even though America has no definitive chosen language) become a legal Immigrant and most of all contribute to America, its people etc and stop using it for your own selfish gains.

SUCH D--B A--ES!! WTF SHE HAS A MENTAL F'N PROBLEM. SHE DRANK THE KOOLAID AND SHE'S GOING TO BE SHOCKED WHEN HE THROWS HER ASS AND OTHER MEXICANS IN THE SAME TRASH BARREL HE'S PLANNING ON THROWING EVERYONE ELSE IN. TRUMP CANNOT STAND HISPANICS, BLACKS, ASIANS, ETC. HE'S EVIL AND DOES NOT CARE FOR ANYONE THAT CAN'T SERVE HIS PURPOSES. LOOK FOR IT YOU FOOLISH WOMAN HE'S COMING FOR YOU. I DON'T BLAME YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO CAN'T STAND YOUR KOOL AID DRINKING ASS.

Nothing is going to happen, look what happened to 17-21. Nothing happened! Trump will be stopped in this bullshit ass deportation

You want to talk about mass deportation. Then literally look at a President Obama. He deported more people than Trump. He literally got rid of wet feet dry feet Cuban policy before leaving office. But he did it quietly so nobody talk about except for the Latino community that still remembers.\n\nYou guys think President Trump will beat President Obama’s record this second time around? I mean statically since we have an open boarder it looks likely.\n\nAt least this time we see it coming versus the last time with President Obama.

CNN trying to make Trump and Republicans look look bad on massive deportation ? cnn we dont care send them all back like yesterday.

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.

I do not blame Trump, he is looking out for HIS country, not a business deal here. I say respect him and perhaps reach out for help with some of our issues if willing. Make that our trade.

When Trump rounds up her family for deportation she might get caught up too. He won’t be able to tell the difference. They all look alike to him.

this plan of Mr. Trump will be wholly legal and wholly accepted by 'most' US citizens as it will be passed by a Rep controlled congress. \n\nE-Verify will be a centerpiece of it, significant financial penalties and prison time for those who attempt to skirt around it including homeowners looking for day labor at a Home Depot. \n\nSecondly the fed. dollars will no longer flow into states who do not enforce this mandate. \n\nThirdly 'zero' remittances can be sent unless the sender can prove US citizenship or green card status.\n\nLastly a $5000 a head bounty for illegal aliens brought into collection centers nationwide putting countless folks into moon lighting which will have the effect for 'most' folks of this being wholly legitimate. \n\nSadly illegal aliens were buffaload into believing citizenship or a green card awaits them if they criminally cross the US' southern border by Mr. Biden and his leftist followers, illegal aliens will have 'no' one else to blame when they're walking 'back' across that southern border.\n\nThe final chapter has yet to be written...

I am sooo looking forward to watching the trump regime trying to deport ALL illegal immigrants. And then all the MAGA criminals will be filling the jobs that the immigrants now have vacated….NOT ???. The US economy will collapse because there will be no one filling those necessary and useful jobs. Watch a MAGA idiot desperately looking for strawberries at the grocery store …..or any other US grown veggies or fruits. The non US grown produce will be exorbitantly expensive due to trump tariffs, and American grown stuff will be rotting in the fields ????

Trump u are a legend .straight talking man he looks after his own people .Biden and Harris should be jailed ..

Keep spewing that rhetoric, Banks. You know who else will be leaving the country? A lot of educated folks who do not want to be part of your BS. Look at the brain-drain which happened to Russia 2 yrs ago or South Africa in the early 2000s. Look at them now. 3rd world Trump will have his 3rd world sh***ole right on his doorstep every morning.

I hate to say it, I want trump and all his supporters to get EVERYTHING he wants. Then look back at USA and say it is a shine bink on the hill. Smh support your own destruction.

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. ?️

The far right canadians that wanted trump to win, look at you now! you'll be paying for them??

If you are mad about illegal aliens getting deported, you are mad about lower prices for American citizens. If you call someone a traitor for voting for trump you are a traitor yourself. They are illegally coming into our country. If you US citizens illegally go into other countries you will probably die or be held for ransom. Why are y’all so happy and ready to pay for other people when we have families veterans homeless to feed the government uses illegal immigration as an excuse to spend government funds as an excuse to rebuild America for Democratic party votes That is absurd and insane. If you support this, you are a threat to democracy and a traitor to the US the Democrats committed treason over the last four years and if you look back in history, it goes on and on They have never helped the American people for American people. They aren’t for us. Wake up, realize who controls the media realize who is trying to consistently brainwash you realize who doesn’t want our country where our bills say in God we trust to no longer be a Christian country. Let’s go back to a wireless and Affordable country. Let’s not instigate fuel support and fun wars across the world let’s tax other countries and receive money from other countries rather than take from American citizens that can’t afford to be taken from. in God we trust God bless America

Why is the media acting like this is a surprise? Its what Trump ran on and its what the American people WANT! How is this so hard for people to understand? This wasn't some hidden agenda or anything, it was very clear, and PEOPLE WANT IT. He won the popular vote and electoral college. We don't want illegals here, plain and simple. Look at Europe, Sweden is offering Immigrants $34,000 To Leave Country, they let them in, gave them housing, taxpayer money, realized the mistake and now offering MORE tax money for them to LEAVE!
