if the republican run congress gave more funding for additonal ICE agents,and agree on the bipartisan effort to put forth laws that speed up deportation.

Republicans are such ultra hypocrites!!!....Fiscal responsibility only to cut funding of things that actually help people!!! BTW, Trump said at the beginning of his 2024 campaign that the wall was built and that he built more wall....So why are republicans going to give money to build the wall???

I work way too much and have way too many stresses. There’s not enough emotional capacity left to spend this much time obsessing about immigrants. \n\nChina and Russia are buying up real estate in our backyard, and hacking our networks, and Republicans are worried about brown people in flip-flops climbing a fence.

What they apparently don't know is that time and again historically Republicans have blocked any legislation to fix our broken immigration system. They don't want to fix it because employers like having cheap labor & that they can threaten to call ICE when undomented workers complain of unsafe working conditions or low wages or no benefits.

Just so people understand, it’s not criminals that the Republicans are talking about. It’s legal immigrants staying in U.S.

Republican law makers are clearly as dumb as the people who voted trump in.

Republicans do everything you want. Just so we can all be proven right that this is some DUMBSHIT

Sitting here watching prophecy being fulfilled! The Elders would say, the white man will destroy himself if he believes he is destroying black people!\nLOL, what fools! \nQuestion for Republicans: \nWho are you going to get to do the work of the immigrants you deport? \nHow are you going to replace the spending dollars these immigrants put into the economy?\nGetting popcorn ready!

Republicans are the party of Hitler, Mussolini and now Putin and Trump. They just want chaos and death and then steal everyone's hard earned money!

These Republicans are going to get an earful from the businessmen/women that funded their seats when they kick out the workers those businesses need.

They won’t do any of this because they’ll have nothing else to run on because Republicans DON’T GOVERN. No real bills put forward in the House during this entire session.

The Nazis never had any intention of murdering millions of Jews at first but then, faced with the exigencies of war and logistics, they decided at the Wannsee conference that the expedient thing to do would be to enslave the able bodied and kill the rest. \n\nTrump and his Republican thugs are already planning giant detention camps. What will they decide to do when detaining millions of people becomes too difficult and expensive for their taste?

Who’s going to do all the Republican’s yard work?

Hispanics wanted this so it's not my fight as a Democrat. In my eyes go ahead republicans do your thing.

from this point on, there is no excuases, Republicans control the House of Rep, The Sanate, the supreme court....when you F*ck up this country the only person you can blame is Trump...Remember today, cause tomorrow you will be eating Trump Diarria ....

Genius politicians, sanctions, to who hire them, starting with contractors, construction companies, huge agricultural companies, cut the bullshit about illegal immigration, you know the solution, but this economy need, them, and you politicians, republicans and democrats just use this to get electoral votes in your favor every election the same bull

To Republicans who want to use the word “illegal” to describe undocumented immigrants, please put “immigrants” after that. Calling them “illegals” or “aliens” is dehumanizing and tells me that you don’t think they are people. Please, PLEASE, stop using the word “illegals.” It is insulting, and I hate it.

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.

If the priority is the safety of Americans then the focus has to be on dangerous criminals like the felon who ordered the kidnapping of refugee children and launched a months long coup attempt that involved lies, threats, fake electors, calls to assassinate Pence and attacks on the Capitol police.... Illegal is what the crime boss Don Trump has been but the Republican majority on the Supreme Court recently concluded despots cannot be prosecuted for crimes called official acts, echoing Chief Justice Taney's opinion that Americans had no rights rulers were legally bound to respect.

I am not democrat or republican I am an independent so I don’t have any loyalty to any party just the constitution. With that being said deporting citizens spouses is insane the people voted to secure the boarder and to stop incentivizing illegals to come in and giving them the people’s money with no contribution. What people didn’t vote for is denationalization and ending birthright citizenship. How you pro life and say you have to protect the unborn but also taking there constitutional birthrights away. Make it make sense??‍♂️??‍♂️

All those Rich Republicans that owned businesses that hire illegals....? Yeah buddy... It's like the blind leading the blind

IM NOT ILEGAL IM A CITIZEN BORN HERE PARENTS BORN HERE AND I WANNA LEAVE HERE YOU RACIST REPUBLICANS GAVE ME THE INCENTIVE AND I DONT TRUST THIS ELECTION MUSK WAS INVOLVED IT WAS HACKED NO WAY ITS THAT MANY RACIST

You CNN liberals can't do shit, \nThe republicans has won the presidency, popular vote,senate, house, supreme court the power is too much for them that anything they want to do will go easily for them including mass immigration, the economy amd inflation it will shock the Americans people of what trumps first year will look like and the entertainment is gonna be real\nI can't wait to grab my popcorn for trump to lecture cnn reporters and this time his gonna take no shit

Republicans won’t deport illegals, the very companies and corporations that pay for their campaigns use illegals for work

There is no plan it's all hogwash. This is a foundational aspect of republican populism that unfortunately has worked to put Trump back in office.

REPUBLICANS! we won, we won, we WON, we win, we are the winners. It's so beautiful. It's a beautiful day. Right now. Yes, now. Praise Trump. WE WON.

REPUBLICANS ARE DISLUSIONAL...AND INHUMANE,,,,DON'T FORGET, EFFIN LIERS,,,THE SO-CALLED LATINO VOTERS, HAVE CREATED A PROBLEM FOR THEIR FAMILY, NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS,,,EFFIN CHALLENGED PEOPLE..TRUMP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON,,HE WANTS THE TRAPPINGS OF THE WHITEHOUSE,,ITS THE BEST SUPPLY FOR A NARSARRCIST..,, WE HAVE SÈEN THE REPUBLICANS IN ACTIONS,,DUMB AZZ'Z..KARMA PLEASE

I'm loving this new Republican i hope they keep their words..i will continue voting Republican from now on if they keep their word

It's interesting how Republican politicians rely on their uneducated ill-informed constituents to tell them what to do, like they are Rice Krispies talking in God's voice. Sometimes, as a lifelong politician who should be an expert at understanding international policies, sometimes you have to 'splain something to the unwashed, if it's going to hurt them. It's your job to protect them, not do everything they want you to do. If you see them pushing for something that will hurt them, it is the Republican politician's job to inform their constituents that they are doing something harmful to themselves. Have a spine. Oh wait, I'm talking to a Trumper Republican.

Republicans, like the Democrats they replace, are stupid. https://youtu.be/ljvq2WZYNlY?si=Xy0izgOcVOM2zKmy. This mass deportation will f up our economy in a MAJOR WAY. That and the Tariffs. We are all F ed now. Idiots have taken over from the incompetent Democrats.

Republicans like this are Duh duh duhmb. Living in cloud cuckoo land.

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.

Who all has read the Washington Post study about how illegals are supporting the dairy industry? Who is going to work split shifts, 8 hours apart for 3-4 hours each shift, walking in hip-deep mud and cow sh_t in knee-high boots, on cow farms, away from actual cities? I think every Republican who's on about this should go work on a dairy farm. They are clueless about reality and the economic repercussions of it. No one wants to pay $30 for a gallon of milk.

What happened?! CNN is asking republicans real questions and for detail in follow up questions. That's truly bizarre.

Remember. REPUBLICANS WON THE MAJORITY and everything else. You have no mandate. The ppl want what Trump wants

Obama tried to do this but Republicans screamed crulety!

So the bill Republicans helped write wasn't going to do that? Where will they go? To starve? Skeletons dead up against the fence?

I voted Democrat but I will support President Trump to deport now. They voted republican now pay. Cancel, all their asylum too. \nI will be clapping and cheering for busses. Let the latinos feel it. Easy to vote difficult to bear the burden.\nSame with women abortion rights. 46% women voted for Trump. They didnt support their own cause. Why should we worry. Made a fool of all liberals

I'm so tired of hearing you have a mandate. Half the country disagrees. Ignoring them will put you on the receiving end of the feeling when voters wake up and realize what every economist has said ‐ his plans will cause inflation and cripple the economy. \nBusinesses are already closing because we can't find Americans who want to work. So let's take away more workers.\nAnd how anyone can talk about immigration issues with a straight face when trump was the one who called to kill the bill and all the Republicans bowed down to their god. No respect for any of them.

This Republican Doesn't know what he's talking about. Nothing what h's saying will happen. so, GET the hell off

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Despite all the rhetoric on immigration, the truth is that Republicans love slave labor and that's why they have scuttled efforts whenever it came to actually halt illegal immigration. \nIt is also why they are opposed to abortion, homosexuality, contraception, sex education, education in general - because none of these activities add to the population. Educated people tend to have fewer children. Uneducated people will have more children, will be more economically oppressed, and are less aware of their rights as citizens.

Every other industrialized country is short off labor. America recovered quickly from the pandemic because it had a workforce. The “violent criminal” trope is the new bullshit trope by republicans just like Reagan’s “welfare queen”. When states have cracked down on illegals before, produce rotted in the fields. This is a) a load of shit only created to fuel fear and anger and b) a recipe for disaster.

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.

They will deport every illegal except the ones working in these Republicans homes and businesses .

when chicken is 15-20 dollars a pound, how much chicken you gonna eat republicans. HOPE YOUR WALLET MATCHES YOUR HATE M O R O N S

listen to that b.s. from the typical republican! the jerry springer show is now the trump show!

This senator elect is ignoring the fact that Republicans blocked the creation of a federal visa status checking system and imposing stiff penalties on employers for hiring undocumented immigrants. This is such BS, they’ll deport the convicted immigrants and call it day.

I voted for Harris and despise Trump, however, I'm hoping Repubs do exactly what they've been wanting to do for YEARS, which is to finish their fence/wall along the ENTIRE border, deport ALL illegal/undocumented migrants, many of them Trump supporters, and shut about the stupid border already!! Americans are exhausted with the topic!!! I live in Arizona, I know of some illegal migrants close to me, they support Trump, and I'll be calling ICE on them on Jan 21st and will demand they get deported, and will work to find ALL migrants who supported Trump, and get them out of here!! Trump will crash the economy again, of course, so Dems will have to come in and clean it up again, as they always do after Republicans.

Yeah no, no republican will pick their own oranges. And since they also want tariffs, they won't even import them either. Well done!
