He didnt ? answer any question. U wont finish the stupid wall in 4 years and u wont kick all immigrants from each state in 4 years. Wat u will cause is people of all states against gov in which people will win it!!!! Trump focus in whats most important not stupid things like wall etc. u will fail again trust me u will fail againnnnnnnnnnnnnnn??????

This is all the fault of the traitors who voted for Trump! It’s all on you for the horrible things that will happen in the next 4 years!!!

In response to the judging of immigrants. Interesting how we rarely see immigrants on our street corners asking for a handout. Instead they're at work making just barely enough to eventually have their own business in a few years. Latinos are a workforce and stimulate the economy because its a lot of hard work to maintain and sustain this country. Who's gonna do all that hard work when they're deported. Maybe our spoiled and privileged teens? All industries will suffer a void in their workforce causing products and service prices to increase. Billionaires like Corporations, Trump and Musk are the reason you are not doing well, not immigrants. Trumpism is fear, hate, blame and shame politics. Immigration has been a thing since a million years ago, and it will always exist. People migrate. Americans use 1,000 times the resources more than immigrants need. Immigrants don't even qualify to for well-fare assistance. When immigrants are gone and the borders are secured, who will be blamed next for America's problems. Instead of focusing on the greater good and progress for all Americans, Republicans can't help themselves to use their power to address their xenophobia, blame, hate without concern of who and what suffers, families of the working class suffer, and our economy, not billionaires. Mass change and reckless actions based on negative emotions and Ego based intentions of one man, is bad for everyone. Negative energy + negative actions amounts and results to nothing but negative consequences and repercussions. Trumpism is no bueno for America. His approach to fixing immigration will hurt and break America.

It will cost BILLIONS!!! that trump is not going to do a dam thing!!! He is on a cognitive decline!!!

Thing is i was too confuse to vote this time for trump or harris...

I am a double hater cant stand Trump and I am a farmer, i dont use immigrants because i just grow crops that can be mechanically harvested and I have a small farm, But in the past I used to manage large farms where we had a lot of immigrants most were illegal and people don't understand why they're illegal It's because there is an arbitrary cap on how many migrants can come from Guatemala and Mexico if they wanted to come legally just a normal worker They have a 60-year waiting list so it's just impossible to come here legally. Most of these people are very hardworking good people that come here to work for 5 to 7 years save up money and then go back to Mexico or Guatemala build a house and start a business in their own country. \n\nThis year i begrudgingly voted for trump because for me the biggest issue is with the federal and state regulations that make farming much harder than it needs to be especially regulations on diesel engine emissions that cost me tens of thousands of dollars a year and many months of not being able to use my equipment that I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on. And Kamala was the one who enforced the CARB emmisions standards that diesel engine manufactures have to comply with to sell into California which is the biggest consumer of these engines. \n\nLike right now I have my pickup truck that's been down for 6 months because of emissions problems and so many of the vehicles have emissions problems that the parts to fix it don't even have an ETA because they need to fix so many trucks and I have two other tractors broke down that I can't use all my friends that are farmers have a lot more and dems want to significantly increase emmisions standards in 2026. \n\nYou simply can't grow food at scale without reliable diesel engines There is no alternative The vast majority of food is planted and harvested mechanically in the US The bigger issue with food is not well illegals get deported It is will the diesel engines run to harvest 90% of the calories in plant them. \n\nWe have robots that can milk the cows most of the things that migrants harvest can be harvested mechanically and they are in other parts of the world It's just cheaper to do it with labor once that's not the case it will be mechanized. I would prefer to keep migrants here but give them legal working status if they have productive jobs and they pay tax.

So its a good thing Melania and her father got their papers due to her marriage to Trump already or they would be deported...such luck! How lucky she was to get in with an Einstein VISA even though she's dumb as a rock, allegedly, while undocumented workers and those who have filed for asylum or applied for a visa have to wait 20 or 30 years to get it, if they get residency at all after paying the last dime to the immigration lawyers who scam them.

This lady will be shocked, when she has to go, she's a Mexican, no such thing as a mexican-american in trumps definition. Bye, you get to reap the benefits of your choice?????

S, boss u r 101% correct. I completely agree with u. Wherever u b, our attitudes should b under limit, systamatic, good cultured. We should show to the world that they should feel about oh Indians are highly educated, deplomatic, very polite, good cultured etc. etc. India never learn this, that means we all are loosing golden opportunity being there and having good job becoz of few bloody Indians. It's not far away to do so, in US something wil happen soon, we are being driven out of the country, Trump is planning to drive us back to India. Only thing is becoz of Narendra Modi he is hesitating to do so as they are good friends. Since so many years I wanted to tel everything in mean our society, customs, government, administration, law and order etc.etc. no platform for me, I am kannadigas from Karnataka. Pls vairal this wat I am telling, pls anybody comefarward to contact me atleast by phone No. 94496 19343, I speak only kannada

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 is the problem people think the only people Trump is going to hurt is those who are doing the wrong thing. but his policies are also going to affect people economically, socially and emotionally. We will see if she's ok with that. and people Mexicans are not as United as we thought they were.

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.

There are 120,000 street gang members in Cook County Illinois who are not going to go along with Trump. The last thing Indiana wants to see some of them crossing the border to voice their objections to Trump deporting them.

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.

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

First thing in trumps bible,hate the neighbors,never turn the other cheek,and dont ever give a sucker a break,what a lovely bunch of bigots .

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

TRUMP WONT DO 1 THING AGAIN NO WALL NO MONEY FOOLS BELIVE HIS LIES DUM ASS POOR WILL GET NOTHING AND RICH WILL GET RICHER AND TRUMP WILL STEAL MORE THAN 600 MILLION THIS TIME

Trump is doing the right thing!! Bye Bye Cartels!!!

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. ?️

Trump ran on illegal immigrants and I hope he does the legal thing and corrects their crimes \nThe majority of citizens have spoken and deal with it

So for those with partners who are undocumented, you can expect one day that partner simply won't return home. Prepare for the worst. It is now a reality. Your partner leaves the house, goes to work at a factory or whatever job and the location gets raided. Even if that person is latino and 'legal', it will take time to sort out the confusion. That person may not be carrying documents showing permanent residency. It won't matter. Once you're on a truck, headed to some undisclosed location as an 'illegal', that's it. The drama doesn't stop there...Now the partner left behind may not have income. That 'illegal' may have been the only source of income in the household. How are families supposed to feed and clothe themselves without support? But hey, this is the new (racist/sexist America). Glad the world got a chance to see this. These Trump voters ain't thinking but they will be the first ones to complain when things don't happen as they expect.

Selfish Republicans don’t forget one thing, as a Trump said we gonna fight for ourself !

What threat is Trump enforcing? They are illegals and mant are ex cons. Trump is doing the right thing. Send them back.

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 can’t wait for things to go to hell when Trump becomes president because maybe then his cult will wake up and realize what a mistake they made !!!

they don’t have to do anything. trumps a lame duck. you can’t take back your vote. he can say he’s deporting millions without doing a thing beyond what’s already being done. maga will go along with any lie he choses to tell.

There could be a chance for more people. If we send everyone back and companies can request their workers back legally. Like the programs that already exist. There are other choices. What we don't want is people to just feel like they can come in with no consequences. There are illegals that have been here for 20+ years. That pay taxes as well. Which I feel need a chance. This subject is so broad... But I know Trump is a fair man. He will do the right thing

As an Independent voter, I voted against Trump, as I think he is simply too slimy to represent the USA. Having said this, I agree that ALL people living in this country illegally (men, women, children) need to be deported. Will this increase the price of goods? Probably. But, until we baseline things according to our rule of law, everyone against this policy is simply guessing.

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.

Mr Banks, you did a great job on Dana Bash! Congratulations on your win ! Now go out there and make beautiful things happen w Trump and the American people!

I see many of you are still struggling to understand how Trump won. It’s many fold, but I can some it up rather concisely.\n\nYour entire mantra was “Vote for us so we can have our way and do what I want or democracy dies”\n\nWhich is so ironic that the thing you think will happen is what that statement represents. \n\nAdd on that, you attacked your political opponent for 8 years with lies, rhetoric (which included degrading remarks about the general populace) and a weak economy and weak foreign policy with a severe influx of illegal immigration. \n\nYou did this to yourselves

Trump will be golfing. He’s lazy and dumb. They aren’t going to get things done.

I can't wait for the failure from this. Funny thing, the Trumps employ them also, do they get fined?

The reality is that these immigrants, illegal or not, do work that many others don’t want to do. There could be a solution to make them permanent citizens, but to just deport them will have massive consequences that will impact everywhere, Trump voters too. Remember that when the prices go up and some things aren’t available

That's the stupidest thing I've EVER heard!!!\n\nPlus, Donald Trump EMPLOYED undocumented immigrants at his hotels and other businesses!

Trump is taken a aways our right it unfair they now remove married paper wow just wow I am Latino American I born here too good thing I didn’t vote for him he not my president

Trump better get on his knees and pray he is going to answer to God for all of the evil things he has done to hurt people of color this country doesn’t belong to rich white peoples

When that mass deportation starts tax payers will be footing the bill and it's not going to go the way you think because it's going to affect a whole lot of people. Always remember Trump is not God and man is failing and God is unfailing and when you lift up a man more than God things is going to start happening because God said there will be no other God besides Me and I am a jealous God. Be bless

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. ????

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

unbelievable!!! The man is a convicted felon, who said out his own mouth. He was gonna overthrow the government. It’s already been 500 years man. They still haven’t given the people who built this country anything what makes you think they’re gonna give you anything now! Unbelievable! Only in America!!!? wow!!!!!!!’ oh by the way, are you Trump people who want jobs that are already here you’re just not looking for the people that you’re trying to replace just keep one thing in mind when you replace those people pretty soon you’re worn out they’re gonna be replacing you too with another immigrant who wants your lifestyle and what you have they don’t want to give the people who are native here born here live here because they don’t want it. The land already belong to the natives and they took it and you wanna migrate over here and think you’re getting something better.

Am latina for Trump. I voted for him so that he deports all illegals that TRAITORS party deliberately invited to my neighbourhood and destroyed America (my country). Any thing less than that is not acceptable! A country is a country only if it has secured borders!!!

I can tell all the comments on this panel were made by President Trump's haters. Love all God's Creation, but, please, watch out for your neighbor. Help everybody you can, including the animals. All these people don't have to be in this Country. They have their own, why can't they make their country a much better place for them and their families to live. Look at the way they are acting. They came as guest, now they are acting like they are the owners. Are you so blinded by hate for this man who loves his Country so much, that you can't see the danger we are in with this illegals in our Country? What are you going to do when you won't have a place to live with your families or can't pay for your needs, because there are no housing or jobs, because everything that belong to you were given to them? What about the crimes they are doing in our communities. They are not here to HELP US, they are here to take what it's ours and replace us. There's not any worse than a blind, who don't want to see. These people are destroying our Beautiful Country and all we can do is hate this President, who the only thing he wants to do is save it for us. He doesn't need anything, we do need and we have to take care of what we have or we will lose it. Oh, by the way, we can't go to their Countries and live there, because they hate Americans. And we are a bunch of ingrates and don't appreciate the Blessings that God Almighty gifted us and President Trump is one of those Blessings, in Jesus Name, AMEN.

When the people I know who voted for Trump, start feeling the sting of their choice and complain about it. I will gladly serve them the biggest, “SHUT THE F**K UP YOU STUPID SOB!”, I can muster up from deep inside my soul. It’s the only thing I have left to look forward to.

Itll be nice to have things for american citizens once again and nkt helping people who didnt earn nor deserve it and come to this country and rip off and free load and talk down on being here bc real immigrants who came here legally most agree this is indeed the best country in the world and opportunity and as a person of color making things happen instead of making excuses the dems downing of the american peopel got old of vote for me because we're the way is dead the in last 16 years 12 of those years have been ran by dems and only gotten worse as the year goes on im a pround California born and raised but left their bc of how bad its gotten happy where im at for sure god bless america and trump MAGA ?

The first thing Trump is going to do is stop all benefits to illegals. If we stop giving them benefits, they will turn around on their own and leave. It’s pretty simple.

When I think about it can't be mad with Trump they did this to themselves good luck the next two months because once Jan 6 come things gonna get real

Trump knows all about doing things legally ???
