Damn Shame. I get that immigration need to get under control, but this will strongly effect our economy along with Trump tax and tariff policies. Time to slow down your personal spending and prepare for the inflation.

Most republicans are lying to their supporters because we in reality need workers to work the farms since no americans is willing to do those back breaking jobs. I dont blame them because they dont pay enough and there is not benefits other than the pay you receive. Fk marco rubio. A hypocrite garbage who does not have a spine that he can not stand on his own just like Lindsye graham, they are both useless. I think people dont realize that those people that are here illigally it would be better for the government to issue work visas so they can track them and collect taxes. I understand that there is a lot of people that take advantage of the system and they should be pay for abusing the system.I did not vote for trump and i would not vote for him even if i was having a nightmare because we know who he is and stands for.

Even illegal immigrants paid 96 billion in taxes, got nothing in return. Trump's administration had more boarder crossings than now. ???

First Trump's administration is going to be jacked up with little known outliers with controversial and radical ideas. That is what Trump is attracted to. His ideas of tariffs and mass deportations are deplorable. They both disadvantage the US instead making it better. However, the tariffs may as well be a scam to get companies profits as when Trump says 10% on item A, companies are going to raise the cost of item A 12 to 15% or so and blame the cost increase on tariffs. For deportation's, I hope most people realize that many working the fields as low wage labor are very well illegals, but they are hired because they keep food costs low. Raising all prices for the poor Republicans will not be beneficial because prices on goods can increase 15% or more but their employer is certainly not going give them a 15% raise to match the cost of living. So Trump has already made the business environment good for more profits by planning to make life more expensive for everyone so business can absorb the additional profits. Probusiness politicians help businesses make money and that money comes from households and the government. And making the government spend more means the government needs to tax more. But TRump is cutting taxes for the people that have the most money. And Trump raising prices with tariffs justs makes households poorer and business richer. Naturally, the stock market will record highs when all the indicators are that business will be making much greater profits from households when Trump takes office.

Why should my tax dollars pay for criminals?

BREAKING NEWS:THE GOVERNMENT TAKES BILLIONS WITH A BIG B FROM CARTELS AND LATINOS DRUG KINGPINS EVERY YEAR..\nI BELIEVE IF YALL PUT THAT MONEY INTO DEPORTATION AND TAX MEXICO UNDER THE TABLE WE WILL HAVE PLENTY TO GET EVERY LAST IMMIGRANT OUTTA HERE.

The penalty for Illegals should be financial, not removal. I don't think we should limit the number of immigrants, full stop. Yes, they need to get paperwork to be here, and that should be part of the process. If you're illegal, come forward and get the paperwork to be here, then pay restitution by an added 5% tax every year moving forward for every year you were here illegally.\n\nRemoving even 5M undocumented citizens creates an employment vacuum that will hurt our economy. Why hurt our economy when you can boost our economy through billions of extra tax revenue.

The Institute for tax policy has calculated that undocumented immigrants bring in 97 billion in annual taxes.\nAlso it is estimated that deportation of 15 million immigrants will cost 80 billion

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?

Tax Dollars ?

So America tax payers are going to build the wall ? thought it was Mexico ?

Won't it cost to build camps to house them, who will feed all these people, will have to pay the gaurds who gaurd them, theyll need t-paper etc. Our workers will be gone, what will that do food will be scarce price will go up. They add millions to our budget, they can't file a tax return, they shop. A massive deportation is going to be a massive hit to the economy. Just sayin

How does the 30 verses in the bible tell us to deal with immigration. So in their theory violent criminals are just where roaming around . So is he talking about the people locked up? already? Their friends have the cost of groceries high .Walmart , Kroger. Etc are all republicans donors that overcharged Americans and took that same monies and donated to the party to keep tax cuts . Not looking at the crumbling infrastructure , transportation and deficit they are leaving this nation they say they love. The Americans have just been played yet again ?….

Only $10,900 to remove one vs give one $350 a week equaling at least $18,200 a year of our tax dollars. And continuing to increase our tax and property tax to support them. Deport them!

no thanks we got more than enough, send them home. our taxes are some of the highest in the world along with our housing prices and our free healthcare is already stretched so thin. make sure to vote conservative next year to end this madness

Could you imagine all the tax money freed up. After they GTFO.\nWe might be able to house all our homeless veterans.

After deporting the criminals, why not offer those, especially in the workforce, work permits that can some how over time lead to proper citizenship and also maybe some kind of penalty fee for entering illegally. We need the workforce and additional tax base instead of some giant expense of a physical wall. Instead of spending on a physical wall, spend on more people to officially deal with the entering of migrants to reduce the illegal entries and potential criminals.

Another uneducated Trump supporter and like all uneducated Trump supporters we the tax payers will end up paying for all this

Honestly I think the real problem is a smooth path to residency/citizenship. \nIllegal immigrants want to do it right but the system sucks and takes way too long. I’m talking more than 5, 10, 15 years. \nPeople act like you can get it done like going to your local Starbucks. Illegal immigrants pay taxes just like everyone else and don’t receive a lot of benefits.

The problems Canada is facing are government policies based on a socialist ideology, which will stagnate economic activity and result in a loss of billions of Dollars due to rising taxes and red tape created by a huge government.

The reality is Trump will deport the dangerous criminals. And give a moratorium to those illegals who work for low wages, with no criminal record, who support the elites and far left's business empires and property portfolios.\n\nAs a businessman he will weigh up the enormous cost of deporting the insane number of illegals Biden/Harris deliberately let in, with the value some may have in staying as long as they contribute, pay tax, and stay out of trouble. But the criminals, the gangs, and the sleeper terrorist cells must be deported to protect America and Americans.

New York is worst, Every month $2000 EBT free food, free insurance Medicaid, free school meals, yearly children tax credit $20,000, with cash job. Wake up America, Trump will do in good, if not your tax money will be run out in Bankruptcy USA. How much you earn and pay tax.

No Ty I ain’t gonna pay tax for illegal aeriens

With millions of jobs not being done the economy will immediately crash.\nAlso millions of taxpayers (sales and income taxes) not paying taxes paid public services will slow or halt.\nLike it or not this huge workforce has become an integral part of our economy.\nThen consider the cost of rounding up, housing and transporting these millions at a projected cost of over $10,000 each.

If anyone here is against deportation, right your name here so they can assign one illegal in your house to take care of so we dont have to give our taxes to them.

Let me get this straight ! Trump's going to do away with inflation and Tax with Tariffs ... You do know Tarrifs are paid by the importer to the government = you pay them. LMAO !

Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

Should they be here illegally....no, but:\nA. Deportations on the scale he's talking about, is not logistically feasible.\nB. If implemented, it'll most likely cripple the economy.\nC. These people are paying millions in taxes, and we'll lose that revenue.\nThe Trump cult rodent, is a dastardly, ignorant beast!

“We’re going to do what it takes” means we haven’t thought that far ahead. Once again the GOP makes bold claims in an election, and just like before, they don’t really intend to do much of what they’ve promised (if anything). Tax cuts for corporations are guaranteed. Everything else optional.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Deporting all “illegals” means eliminating about 7.5 million jobs the economy absolutely requires, which nobody else will do. And going after employers does that job even faster. Losing 7.5 million jobs is economic suicide, couple that with outrageous import taxes (ie tariffs) that will skyrocket costs, and we have another Great Depression. And that’s what these clowns are promising to do on day one. When someone tells you they hate government like Republicans do, maybe we shouldn’t be shocked when they suck at running it. Buckle up, America.

Yall Know under Donald Trump Taxes on Everything is going up right! All Companies world wide that Export to U.S are preparing to collect when importing into the U.S. All US companies and buissnes are preparing to raise all their prices on us. Then we Will lose 15 Million workers/ Farmers Groceries will be Affected worse than you’ve seen!!! All thanks to Trumps Tariffs

Kick out working immigrants, tariffs on all imported goods and decrease taxes on the wealthy. Sounds like a great recipe for an economic meltdown.

Illegals are not welcome, and one of the basic requirements of a country is to protect it borders. My wife and my son-in-law are immigrants..... legal. They have earned educations and professions, the contribute to the tax base and society, and they appreciate what they have earned. Immigration is a cenetrpiece of this country, when done right. If Canada wants the illegals, I'm sure the US will be happy to deliver them. But I believe most Canadians don't, and we are only hearing a few airheaded corner cases, similar to what is being deleted from our national consciousness right now.

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 goal of the orange turd and his cult enablers in office should be to do what's best for the entire country in the way of strengthening the economy, creating jobs, reducing inflation, making the rich abd corporations pay their fair share of taxes, and controlling guns. But, as usual, they are still chasing headlines for a problem that is largely nonexistent. In doing so, they will destroy the economy, even more than they have already.

Legacy media sane washing trumps insanity didn't help...all media is owned by rich assholes who get huge tax breaks from 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

This where Canada good at, giving freebies for refugees and asylum seekers, while the economy facing crisis.. We citizens pay huge taxes for this, Wow.. im not against it.. but they should have control… government should let the temporary foreign workers and international students to stay,, they contribute more for the economy unlike on this refugee and asylum seeker

No Vacancy! We have no jobs and no place to live. Put more Border Partol on Canada's borders. Didn't they hear the news, we put a cap on legal immigration, why would we take in illegal immigrants! Trump wants to deport them, its on their tax paying dollars, not ours! Keep them out! Canada do your job, enough is enough!

Canada is a complete joke. Most unaffordable place on earth. If you are a weak woke liberal that wants to be taken care of this is the place for you. If you want to work hard start your own business to be successful, good luck. Trudeau’s dictatorship has destroyed us, no freedoms of speech, criminals get released immediately, immigration is out of control. And immigrants have more rights than tax paying citizens. Also drug addicted lunatics roam the streets and cause havoc with our open drug using policies and criminal catch and release systems. Oh yea, and our medical system is a complete joke, takes hours to get an ambulance and even longer wait times in hospitals. Oh yes we also allow open drug use in hospitals…. It’s a complete joke.

They have no claim as they came into US illegally and their home countries aren’t at w@r .Truduh is about to welcome 20 million and give them $4000 dollars of our own tax money all for votes ?

whoa, we still have asylum seekers living in our hotels because we don't have housing for them. Affecting our economy be cause they can't work and pay taxes. Use common sense Canada

This is why you should not watch CNN or any of the legacy media. These people don’t have a clue. They distort the facts, they are hypocrites on their policies . They don’t want fair and equal justice. They are ok with corrupt government and elections, high crime, high taxes, high inflation. They love the deep state and they are terrible liars.

This is idiotic, Undocumented Immigrants paid $96 million in taxes in 2022. 50% of our agriculture workers are undocumented immigrants. Who is going to replace that workforce? Something needs to be done but this is not it. They have no plan to collect and hold the immigrants. Local Police and Sheriff departments are not equipped to nor allowed to (in some states)go chase illegals. Similar bills have been attempted before as an effort to have Police arrest illegals but it was messy and got put on hold for several reasons. No discussion of potential civil rights violations or the question of it being unconstitutional also opens the door for racial profiling. Any person of color would targeted. Most of the immigrants are not from Mexico why would any country accept them? This is the dumbest plan for immigration ever and it won't work.

WE DONT WANT THESE PEOPLE, I AM SORRY I DONT WANT TO GIVE MY HARD EARNED TAXED MONEY GOING TO THESE PEOPLE AGAIN, NO OFFENSE BUT WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

Good to see illegals not jumping the line. I have been in the US legally from last 7 years, last year i payed 24000$ in taxes and it would take me 8 years just to get Green card. People breaking law should be punished not incentized.

According to the Pew Research Center, as of 2022, undocumented workers and their households pay $79.7 billion in federal tax contributions and $41 billion in \nstate and local tax contributions. These households hold $314.9 billion in spending power and hold eleven million jobs and are 4.7% of the workforce. California experienced \na decrease in undocumented workers 2020-2022. Crime was at a twenty year low up to 2024 as was inflation for September end it was 0.2% and over the last twelve months 2.4%\ninflation finally under control.

ALOT of HOMELESS are American citizens, and yet look at them lol. A lot of AMERICANS get welfare, and where does this money come from!!??? US tax payers. And yet, there is a lot of IMMIGRANTS that do good and would love to trade places with them and have legal states?‍♀️ how much money has gone to the homeless and yet you don’t see progress or is even worst!!??‍♀️

Those that are working and contributing to society and taxes should get references from employers. Hopefully they can fall in line right after those who have legal immigration in process. It’s sad. But illegal is illegal. That is why we have laws. The left does not care for laws. Unless they they are trifling to prosecute political opponents.

I assume tax hikes so government will have money to accommodate these people to please UN etc?
