Bit misleading to suggest that Trump led Republicans in shooting down that bill like it was some form of sabotage. The democrats completely undid Trump's boarder policies prior to coming up with a plan, and the tried to pass that garbage bill after the fact.\n\nJust because the Democrats put forward a bill on immigration doesn't make it a good package that the opposition is obligated to back. They should have left his laws in place until they had something better and less partisan. Instead they brought on the collapse of our entire immigration system for several years. Also shame on the republicans for being self-serving RINOs without independent thought. Just following the flow of power for their own sake. Sucking up to the Democrats one day, and Trump the next.

It feels so foolish to keep trying bandaid solutions that harm the US labor pool. There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in regards to this. \n\n1. Most developed countries on earth are in the midst of or are preparing to deal with population crisis and depopulation. Strong immigration to the US stems this issue and is actually a huge advantage to the power and continuing visibility of the USA.\n\n2. Deportation and border control strike at the effect of immigration and leave the cause unharmed. People come to the USA because there's opportunities here, so why not make opportunities abroad?\n\nIf the USA were to remove benefits of dealing with china while offering massive incentives for moving manufacturing away from china directly to Latin America, not only would we be countering our Chinese dependency but we would also provide jobs at home and stem immigration. Not only that, but the businesses would be American and be controlled by Americans - a huge incentive to stay friendly to the USA.\n\nI don't know, just seems like our current policy and especially what Trump is suggesting are counter productive and stuck in a bygone way of thinking.

Trump has no immigration policy or plan; he will try to make one while stealing from the government

There is a very big problem with trump's xenophobic screed to create fear and hate of immigrants. Instead of addressing the need to fix the difficulties immigrants face to enter the country legally or how many legal immigrants we will need to grow the country - we have demonized immigrants for trying to make a better life in the US.?

this news channel can't help but show their anti trump bias. they try so hard, but they cant. whenever they talk about us politics its simply unwatchable

5:03 Trump yas wierdlly romantic interest with Insuraction act becouse he tries do that in times of George Floyd riots

The best way to stop immigration is to just let Trump at the economy. You won’t be able to stop people from trying to leave.

Not only she'll get deported too, but Trump is trying to destroy Obama care, and once she's screwed, she'll be alone!

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” !!!!!

Trump said if you are deported and try to come back you will be EXECUTED. What part of that does she not understand?

CNN as usual trying to lie!!! We’re all this numbers coming from??? What is the problem to deport all this people??? If Biden - Harris administration managed to bring 20 million people for 3 years, why Trump can’t do the same opposite??? We do not need detention centers!!! We need to speed up the process!!! Bring them to the border and let them cross back to we’re they came from!!! No bus, no train, no plane!!!

How sad is this? The cruelty is beyond belief and she isn’t even ashamed of herself. And to pretend that these people could just apply legally is ludicrous. When this lady came immigrants were still being welcomed. All you had to do was apply and wait. It’s not so easy now. Trump has spread so many lies and so much hatred that immigrants are hated. Regulations are draconian and will just get worse. Trump has said he will split up families and jail or execute immigrants if they try to get back to their families. That Americans accept this cruelty, has completely destroyed my respect for them. I used to think Americans had some bad people but the majority were good.even with the evidence that they refuse healthcare for all and decent gun control to protect children. I thought they just hadn’t realized how effective these policies are. But now it’s blatantly obvious that they don’t care about poor people or disabled or sick people. They don’t care about the elderly or the health and safety of pregnant women. They just want more for themselves and are too dumb to realize that the way to get more is to work together and help each other.

Lets not forget who started this.... Trump is only fixing the problem they created that they have tried to sweep under the rug.

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.

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!

Ah yes, the perfect man is going to fix everything. That's Trump's genius - that he can promise the world , fix nothing and convince people he did. Right now he's trying to fix the war in Ukraine and bring peace. Forgetting he's negotiating with a guy who doesn't fix things, he just breaks them and the last thing Putin is going to do is take Trump seriously. There's a a reason why Putin did not congratulate Trump -- he knows he's dealing with an idiot. \n\nTrump has surrounded himself with dunderheads just like him because competence makes him feel insecure. Intelligence gives him hives and common sense ED. \n\nHe got what he wanted from the elections now he wants to play golf and become the richest man in the world. All those grand plans and ideas except his retribution will have to wait because there's no money. It's all in his pocket. Try a mass deportation of millions when you have a no budget to work with. \n\nHe'll try to deport a few who have pissed him off but end up having it thrown out after the targets hire competent lawyers and sue him. The great legal minds will jump at the chance. Trumps lawyers haven't won a case yet. And so it will go until midterms swing the other way because Trump has accomplished zilch. Trump 2.0 The grand illusion or delusion. Take your pick.

Trump will hire officers .\nHarris defunded or tried to defund ice\nWhy would anyone in there right mind open borders during a time of holy war being allies to 2 country

Hitler and Nazi Germany tried that 'mass deportation' thing... Didn't workout so well.\nNot going to work under Trump and Fascist America either.

Dude tRump can’t “jump” anywhere. Have you seen his belt trying to straddle his fat into his pants? Dude.

Trump is a big fat bag of flatulence. \nHe's an expert at talking out his ass, and his supporters are dumb enough to believe him. \nBut we're here with a clown representing America because people didn't vote. \nIn 2020, Trump got 74,223,975 votes.\nBiden got 81,283,501.\n7+ million more than Trump. \nIn 2024, Trump got 73,494,503 votes, 729,472 less than he got 4 years ago.\nIn 2024, Harris got 69,174,894 votes, 4,289,607 less than Trump, and 12,108,605 less than Biden got 4 years ago. \nAmerican voters are why we're stuck with a narcissistic sociopathic liar and sex offender for president. \n12 million Americans, to be specific, who chose not to vote.\nTrump is a scam artist. \nHow many billions will Trump, and his family of grifters, steal from America? \nHow many asinine statements will Trump make? \nAnd how many rounds of golf is the flatulence king play on our dime? \nLast time it cost Americans $145 million. \nDo you think fatty ? can break his record? \nI bet he'll try.

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!

All lies and conjecture. An empty campaign promise that will never happen to the extent hes saying. Obama had the highest deportations so of course Trump will try to outdo Obama. Trump promise to eliminate taxes in favor of tariffs will never happen. Tariffs on foreign goods won’t make a dent in the amount taxes bring in. Once again lies! Ppl chose the wrong election to be ignorant.

At least we have Trump to try. Harris would do nothing.

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 ????

Haha, Dana is slipping she was trying to come up with a binary question and stuttered. They say if you say something long enough that's BS you start to believe it, but the Trump win has her questioning

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!!!!

It’ll never happen. Republicans loveee cheap non documented workers despite their phony outrage. You watch how many loopholes they’ll put in these bills to let their landscapers,painters,crop pickers,etc,etc get ‘exceptions’. E-Verify would solve the problem almost 100% percent but republicans keep pulling it out of legislation at last minute because it would prevent the real criminals ( multi billionaires) from making insane profits. Just try raiding one of trump’s golf courses and see how many you’ll find

Trump is going to deport 15 million immigrants as successfully as he tried to build that wall. \nTrump’s fat a$$ will be playing golf and missing meetings for the next 4 years. He’ll spend his days rage texting on X ???????

Try to understand that its cost the government more. When no plan is in place \nConsider the grants loans. Housing food clothing schools medical care medicine travel . TRUMP IS ONLY TRYING TO PUT IMMAGRATION IN A AFFORDABLE \nPLAN .\nIT IIS SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES AND A REWARDING LIFESTYLE IF RULES IS FOLLOWED. WHY RUSH TO DO WRONG COME IN LEGALLY ❤❤❤❤

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. ?️

Black People tried our best to stop this dehumanizing of people. This slavery and slave catching culture. Remember white people were the highest voter for Trump

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

I like how you're trying to act like this is Trump's fault. Why are we letting them in?! We don't have to. They are not refugees from the United States of America. If they're already illegal in America we don't have to let them in here. They can go to Mexico. I hear it's great this time of year.

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

The so-called Trump voters who said they are regretting voting for Trump are crazy. I don't understand why they should be regretting? Everybody knows what Donald Trump's intentions are. For example, the 100% rise on tariffs on imported goods, which Trump had tried during his first term and it backfired. Majority of Americans electorate are not just that rational. They make decisions based on emotions. Trump just kept on invoking emotional mantra like the migrants are invading American, woman is not strong and smart enough to be the president of US, a black woman from black immigrant family are not smart enough to be the president of US - old stereo type that have torment America from slavery. It doesn't take rocket science to understand why Trump played on the emotions of Americans. Trump knows that, that is why he kept repeating those emotional mantra, and not talking about the issues. Trump - bonefide conman - and his advisers understood this very well and used to con Americans to vote for him. Good con-job Donald. Kudos.

Trudeau trying to blame Trump after his win saying migrants are going to invade canada in large numbers. he will do anything to excuse his failure to govern

Trudeau trying to blame Trump after his win saying migrants are going to invade canada in large numbers. he will do anything to excuse his failure to govern

We don't have enough low-income housing NOW, which is what refugees will be looking to rent. So what happens to Canadian-born natural citizens who already do not have enough of this kind of housing!?? We just cannot house EVERYbody, esp. when Trump is trying to mske our housing situation even worse than it already is!!! We just cannot do it!!!

Unbelievable she would throw her family and relatives under the bus. When Jews tried to excape Hitler, those who were able to find safely and solace through the help of other Germans, they had a new chance at life. Not this woman - like Trump, she'll toss her own family out the door to fend got your own life & save her own.

So start with Donald Trump, who has been convicted for 34 felonies and is suspected of dozens more crimes including theft of classified documents and trying to steal an election. Isn't that the definition of illegal?

We tried to help you guys but for the second time you didn’t listen. Don’t come crying when you get sent back to your “shit hole country”-Donald trump.

There are about 800,000 police in the ENTIRE Country... If there are 16,000,000 illegals in the country, Each Police person would have to stop whatever they are doing and, on average, capture 20 illegals... Given that each of these captured people are entitled to plead their case before a judge, How many people will actually be deported before Trump exits??? How much will that cost??? and What happens to the USA while all the Police are engaged in doing Trump's wishes??? What they don't tell us about The Wall is that it's been breached more than 3,000 times and the climate in that area is already degrading the metal and concrete... Trump tried this before in his first term and could not get it done... What makes this Senator think it's going to work this time???

Congratulations to yall immigrants that voted for Trump they are going to drive the US Debt higher and higher and thanks to yall Republicans on the future recession that is to come. Also thanks Ms Harris for trying to warn everyone.

Trump will have a big talk with this fool. This is NOT Trumps plan AT ALL. Listen to Trumps speech after he won the election. He has been VERY clear on helping illegals without criminal records who want to work find a pathway to citizenship. This is in no way representative of Donald Trumps plan. Trump and most Americans want to deport the illegals with criminal records. Even if he tried there is no way to deport all illegals.

Only the criminals are going to be deported. From there cooler heads will prevail. Trump said as much. CNN saying all the things they do is a threat to Democracy. Trump has the popular vote, all the swing states and yet CNN is trying to delegitimize Trumps victory. Think about it, this constant attacks on Trump is CNN's own Jan 6th. Using Think and CNN in the same sentence is a oxymoron though.

I'd love to see the Trump administration try to do this. They could barely pass a tax cut.

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.

There aren't going to be more jobs coming up here because of the tariffs that Trump is going to do in fact several companies are already canceling their Christmas bonuses for people because they are going to be pre-buying things they need to try to get ahead of the tariffs they know that are coming this isn't going to make businesses want to hire pay more money increase benefits or anything like that I don't understand why people think this is going to be some kind of economic Boone I don't understand how everyone's forgotten what happens with tariffs the first time he was in office and now he wants to do even more

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. ????
