We dont want more people

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.

I just want to ask every black, Hispanic, and Muslims who voted to DONALD DUMP. Can you give me one (1) example of DONALD DUMP saying anything negative toward white people? He only wants one thing from ya'll. Your vote to help him stay out of jail.

Why do people even leave their countries to go and complain iñ other people's countries\nI'd never leave my home if I don't want to face challenges in other nations\nLet it be war home

If he wants to send immigrants back, he needs to send his wife back too...How the he'll did this happen.The only reason he ran for Presidency is to pardon himself from all the criminal charges against him.He don't give a damn about our country. He's caused more chaos to this country, to the House of Representatives, to the people in office, He's a TICKING TIME BOMB

“As a MexicanAmerican”One who wants to shut the door behind her. Even her accent is an offense to people who want mass deportation, they don’t consider you an American. Talk about voting against your own interest.

Good and I'm glad we r no longer giving them money I also hot a scam letter saying it's from ssa I know it's a scam cause they usually tell u how to appeal they are demanding money these illegals are free loading bums we want them out stop scamming people and expecting people to pay your way

I hope he deports all those Latinos back. Including the denaturalization. I am all in for the ride, Mr. Trump. Give the people what they want by voting for you even after you told them what you are going to do.

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. ?️

Democrats, if you're watching this don't be offended. Rather, learn from it. You may not agree with these people's opinions but this is what the majority of Americans think and that's why Trump won. They don't care about the insults that Trump keeps spitting out. They care about their own self-interests. Also, here's what Stephen A. Smith said: Immigrants who came here legally don't support illegal immigrants. Imagine yourself standing in line for an hour to ride your favorite ride at a theme park, only to have a group of people cut in front of you without waiting. You would be outraged wouldn't you? I would and this is how they feel. Bottom line: the majority wants a stronger border. America may be a country of immigrants, but now is not the time to take in more immigrants especially if they're here illegally. We are struggling; we can't afford to help outsiders at this time. It's time to help ourselves out before we help others. It's not selfish. The truth is, how useful can we be to others if we ourselves are bleeding?

15 mm people you dubiously claim you know the identity of, sorted by criminals or no, who by the way don't want to be caught and will actively evade or resist some unknown set of law enforcement assets that will forever be grossly outnumbered. Republicans, welcome to your new 50 year war on drugs plan. This fiasco will barely survive one presidential term and die under its own weight of stupidity.

I would deport a lot of people if I was U.S. president, but deporting Dreamers is a bad idea. There should be a bipartisan compromise: strict immigration enforcement combined with a path to citizenship for Dreamers (which is something that was unsuccessfully negotiated during Trump's first term). I'm not a Trump supporter, but I want to see Congress work together on immigration in a bipartisan manner.

Guess who will pay the 88 Billions a year to deport illegals lol those people are working jobs that Americans don’t even want to take. Grocery prices will go up and everything else. Good luck!

I glad he's going to get them out. They try to be slick,coming over here having babies and not become legal. Now they still have to go back and take their children. It's not that we don't want them over here just do it legal. Hell they put them in a 5 stars hotel and we American can't even take a vacation. Come on people WAKE UP.

Let him deport people who came illegally. What kind of citizen wants illegal immigrants in their country?

What Donald Trump doesn't realize it's there will be caravans.... And he says yes there Will be blood ....the barbed wire that killed as we watched recently.... But who knows the possibilities imaginable with his out of the box addressing of the border.... It must always be a delicate careful process..... If he waves his arms in the air as if swatting a fly.... There will be caravans.... People will even be trampled to death if someone sets off a firecracker or flash grenade..... Donald Trump does not want to ( work ) hard in a finessed way... Have to Be careful not to yell fire.....

You sure you want people who don’t know how the economy works in depth to make decisions at rallies?

I’m a Canadian citizen. I married a Jewish African woman. And helped her get her citizenship after we got married here in Canada. Then we stood outside in the -20 degrees c freezing cold in a long lineup of good people trying to get their citizenships like my wife, all legally obeying the laws of Canada. I’m white so it doesn’t mater our skin color or religion. Its about love and respect to the laws of our country. What I was talking about before is we here in Canada have been suffering from over taxation, extremely high rental rates, high food costs, greatly reduced medical care (My Mom died recently from lack of proper med care resources). They put her lonely dying body in the hallway where she was robbed of her cell phones, money, food and respect. Due to migrants and illegal immigrants overloading the beds and rooms pouring in from other countries. they drained our existing medical system resources and much more. Drug addicts who overdosed on Fentanyl they take first and push all other patients aside. Doctors take them first before helping a dying mother, father, brother or sister, infant and children pushed aside to save a drug addicts life first. I have been told many times this is also do to them taking care of the pouring in migrants and illegal immigrants using it all up. Where is love and justice? Yes, you failed us Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. You sold us Canadian citizens out and tossed us aside for your own agendas. You are a disgrace to Canada and we the people want you out of office.

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

OMG, no housing no health care inflation is insane for Canadians. We do do not want or have room for any more so called migrants. They came by choice, send them packing. We can not and will not accept this. We as Canadians agree we can't afford 1 more, let alone thousands and thousands. We are not in a position to help even if they were truly in need of help and not just free handouts. This Government needs to stand up for the people who elected them. Trust me you will never get my vote again. Call an election and put an end to this madness.

Sad to say trump is right i have my reasons 1 come in legally its bad enough that the USA dont want to hire ppl from the USA but are quick to hire an imigrant for lower pay 2 its bad enough that this country is going to shambles and there is enough going on to worry about anyone other than the people from this country, 3 its illegal to do anything that is not right being an undocumented resident is illegal period so if an American cannot break the law no one that comes from another country without documents should be here period

Why do some people who go through hardships and overcome them, wish that others suffer too? Why not be a better person and work to make it easier for others? I see it everywhere: people who suffered from shitty bosses get promoted and make others suffer. People who had a hard time immigrating want it to be hard for others as well. Why not be a bigger person?

Give them what they want. They want this mass deportation let them have it. It’s going to cost a lot of money will likely control the house of representatives and the US Senate as well as the president go ahead and do it find the money pay for it do it. Now it’s going to be very weird when we try and figure out who’s going to do the jobs that these people are literally doing right now, but worry about that later. Right now do what you said you would do. Don’t take all day. Don’t slack off do it now. The man said on day one that’s what he would hold him to that. Give the people of America what they want give them those deportations give them those tariffs when the economic problems come with both initiatives. Let Republicans deal with it because this was the plan they proposed let them execute it.

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.

I just took a toll lady, and the only people that want more immigrants are immigrants

I mean you people wanting this problem to continue realize this only benefits the wealthy businesses so they can expand and negatively effects the middle and low income communities that will be fighting for housing, jobs and health care

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.

its funny when you start deporting these people back to their own countries, even their own government and people do not want them back. says a lot about the quality of these people coming into the US. its utterly pathetic.

I am from Europe. You won't find a single country in EU who will not deport immigrants that do not have legal documents. If they find them they will throw them out of EU and those persons will get 5 years ban for apply legally. So I do not understand one thing, if that is perfectly normal anywhere in the World why t f are making problem of it? \nAnd one more questions for those who are against that ... if someone enter your house through chimney, or some small window in the basement, will you let them stay in your house????? Because if you are against deportation of ILLEGAL immigrants than you have no rghts to be against people entering your house illegally if they want that. Otherwise you are hypocrit.

Its going to be funny watching them try to do this lol if by any chance they manage to do it businesses will collapse and the US economy will start to collapse. These are the slave people that do the work no one else wants to do or they wouldnt be here. I got the popcorn ready for this humanitarian crisis

It's insane to me that you vote for a president that lets 11+ million illegals in, have no cost plan to provide for them, yet when the next president wants to fix it, THE SAME PEOPLE TALKS ABOUT COSTS!\nAre you people completely brainwashed? Biden gave you cancer, Trump wants to fix it, and now you complain about costs? Wake up morons.

And when you don’t have people to do the labor that non of the Americans want to perform; then don’t be complaining that the economy went to shit. The business, farmers and manufacture that voted for Trump without thinking on their own interested they are for an rude awakening. Watch and see.. I can wait for June 20 to see Doni in action..

Why don’t Americans want people from other countries to enjoy the “freedom” and “democracy” that the US has? Aren’t they proud of their country to want to share it with others? I’d say if people want to come to the US, they should have a background check and prove that they can be an asset to the nation.

These Racist Congressmen, are so ignorant about the Majority Reason, why people come to this country. The Majority come because, they want a better life for themselves, and their family. They don't leave their Native Country because they want to take a Vacation to the U.S. They have every Right, to Seek A Better Future. This Country is for Every Human Being! People from All Walks Of Life, are here to STAY! Everyone has come to USA, from around the World! The Only Native Americans, were the Indians, that were here, before Christopher Columbus arrived! Did they tell Cristopher Columbus, go back to Italy, you are not Welcome Here? No Ignorant People, they ateTHANKSGIVING TOGETHER! It seems, that many people didn't learned History in School. They just went to fool around, and stay dumb! It's Ashamed!

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

the American people ????? not all the American people wants this sir

These people did not want to come to Canada in the first place they only coming in now because America dont want them .Some coming in have various crimes drug dealers, murders rapers crime is very bad now in Canada all the residential places now are seeing high rates of crime ,the bus stops now in clean residential areas have human poo,the streets are dirty,people on the streets Canada now is like some poor Carribean countries some part now dirty 2lCanada is big but it is not rich like England and America they dont have the money to accommodate so much people cime is out of control Canada dont have the resources people are suffering no good jobs

This Woman has NO idea what she's talking about. The American people can't control where these illegals run to. You don't want them in Canada? Ship them out

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.

Why Demos worry about short of labor force in agricultures? Remember people can apply for WORK VISAS if they want to work in the US. They can do legal way.

It is extremely prejudiced and disgusting to say we want to keep a labor force because they are willing to work for cheap, how about you pay people a living wage. ??‍♀️

They are pretending we are bad people because we want our laws followed, like all other countries do?\n\n\nJust another Democrat feed.

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

Impose special tax on El8n Musk and MAGA who wanted Trump and give out subsidies to American people to buy groceries.

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

The illegal immigrant that contributes to society is not who Donald Trump is worried about. Donald Trump will get out the illegal immigrant that is a convicted felon the criminal out of our country. We don’t need them here to hurt our women our children. Donald Trump said he wants people to come into the country they need to come in legally but the criminal will pay Will be deported. And I am just confused. Why does the Democratic Party want illegal immigrants here on our streets hurting our American people someone makes sense to me. Why should we have them in America and I’m talking about the criminals not the hard-working illegal. immigrants I also have friends that came into this country legally, they worked very hard to get here. It’s not fair to them to have people into this country illegally it’s just not right.

So I know several people from my childhood, still know them today, and they were brought here when they were less than 3 years old. Fast forward 25+ years and they are some of the most hard working, tax-paying, kind hearted people I know. And they just want to stay where they have always lived and worked. Is there room for compassion? I guess time will tell.

Option 1 we gonna SPEND a HUGE amount of money to deport millions of people. \nOption 2 we filter out high crime immigrants and filter those out, after we charge $20000 each illegal for a 2 year visa and work permit as a trial time, and see how they contribute to society. \n Do you have any idea how much money will come in?? It will close 1/4 of your countries deficit.\n Look I'm an immigrant myself, and I was brought in legally as a kid. However because of the difficulties or the bureaucracy I was left out of status. The company I worked for (a delaship) wants me back, customers reach out to me directly because they trusted me and were happy with my performance as their advisor. But guess what I can't work, but I also can't be deported because my country of birth is at war. And I dont want to go back quite frankly because it's back there I'm gonna be an alien more than I am here. I finished a degree and paid my way through collage here I grew up here, and even though because of the problems of the immigration system I was constantly limited with basic equal opportunities I still see this as my home, and actually appreciate this country more than some people I know that were born here. \n Now again - I suffered plenty with being limited as an immigrant here and I was forced to work shitty heavy labor for years and years, I worked overtime plenty with no overtime pay and such (y'all just have no idea what immigrants life is) and in my case - I got stuck in that status for 2 decades. Where I could have had a high degree by now, I instead have been just busting my ass for peanuts. I never asked for any help from the government here even when I could have, never filed unemployment. \nAnd after all this you gonna deport me? Great fucking plan. Land of brave and opportunity ??

Oh please, in Canada all Pakistani Indian Chinese and all African people are loved by Trudeau. Canada just doesn't want Latinos. They do not fit the liberals agenda.

Once you move inside America, you want American politicians to care about people inside America rather than people outside America. The politician's first duty is towards his/her citizens. You cannot have homeless Americans while illegal immigrants are being put up in hotels. \nThe real question is, does the USA need more unskilled people, whose primary contribution is manual labor? More and more jobs are going to be lost to AI/Robotics. Think of the scenario where you will have vast swathes of the population unemployed or underemployed. Is that desirable? Think of the chaos that will cause. More doctors and scientists are always welcome to immigrate anytime, and such folks all do so legally. \nThere are enough people already in America to do what needs to be done. We need to first build infrastructure using existing citizens to enable the next wave of immigrants (several years later) to move here. You just cannot have more and more people put more pressure on an already crumbling and ageing infrastructure, driving up rents for low-income Americans.
