under the Biden-Harris administration, business has been very good for the cartels. Wide open borders and catch-and-release policies have convinced migrants that there is a strong probability that coming to the United States illegally will pay off. As a result, record numbers of migrants have decided to take the trek, and if need be, pay money to the cartels. By the Department of Homeland Security’s own reckoning, upwards of 80 percent of them engage smugglers to get them into the U.S. because the journey itself is inherently dangerous, and because these criminal syndicates do not deal kindly with migrants who don’t pay for their services. \n \nAccording to the Washington Post, “With revenue estimated at $4 billion to $12 billion a year, the smuggling of migrants has joined drugs and extortion as a top income stream for groups like Mexico’s Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels, increasing their economic clout throughout the hemisphere.” In other words, the cartels have a vested interest in maintaining that sort of revenue flow. If keeping a lid on things in the months leading up to an election that will determine the sort of border and immigration policies the United States has for the next four years, they may see slowing the flow as a prudent business decision. From the perspective of the cartels, a U.S. administration that releases or paroles in the majority of migrants encountered at our borders, and issues them work authorization documents, is likely to provide them with a steady stream of customers for their services.\n\nSOURCE, FAIR US org

ICE Acknowledges that 647,000 Aliens with Criminal Charges or Convictions are Roaming Freely in the U.S. \n \nFAIR Take | September 2024 \n \nIn a letter released Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acknowledged that 425,000 aliens released into the U.S. have criminal convictions and another 222,000 aliens have criminal charges pending. The letter, written by acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner, was released by Texas Congressman Tony Gonzales, who received it in response to requests for information he sent the agency six months ago. \n \nThe criminal aliens that Director Lechleitner referred to in his letter – the vast majority of whom are in the country illegally – are on ICE’s non-detained docket. That simply means even though the aliens are deportable, they were released into the U.S. (either by Customs and Border Protection or ICE) while their cases are pending. Their cases may be resolved in several ways, such as being approved for asylum or receiving a final order of removal by an immigration judge. However, until their cases are resolved, ICE tracks these non-detained aliens. The number of aliens on ICE’s non-detained docket has tripled since Fiscal Year (FY) 2018, growing from 2.6 million to 7.4 million in FY 2024. \n \nIn the letter sent to Rep. Gonzales, ICE made several shocking admissions about aliens released into the U.S. as part of the non-detained docket. Over 13,000 aliens have convictions for murder. Another 15,000 have convictions for sexual assault. If that weren’t bad enough, ICE’s letter contained even more detail: 56,000 aliens on the non-detained docket have convictions related to dangerous drugs, 62,000 have convictions for assault; 18,000 have convictions for larceny (theft); 14,000 have convictions for burglary; 13,000 have convictions for weapons offenses, and 2,500 have convictions for kidnapping.\nSOURCE, FAIR US org

Anyone who crosses the U.S. border illegally has committed a crime which constitutes being deported .

Deport naturalized U.S. citizen Elon Musk.

I think Trump should also guard the u.s./Canadian border so migrtes cannot arrive in to our Canada. We have no more housing or employment for more illegal people.

I’m Native American and I say deport her. Yes, I’m entitled to my opinion. I’m a citizen and my people have been here for thousands of years. And, my people have been fighting for this nation even before we were considered citizens ourselves. We were employed by the U.S. Military to serve as Scouts (fighting against our own people to help the U.S. conquer-hint hint). Our languages were used to help win WWII and we have the highest enlistments by ethnic group. Most undocumented people I know are cool and they pay their dues and don’t want any problems. These ones that act high and mighty drain the life out of this country. I want to see this lady’s face when she finds out she is the wrong color according to some of her peers. Lol

No way she ACTUALLY thinks tRump isn't goig to send her ass back too, right after her family gets sent back. Nothing but Slugs voting for Salt!!\nI'm just curious how Melania was able to work in the U.S. illegally before becomig a ciizen, and nobody in tRump's cult cares about that. Very telling, lol.

When they talk about deporting illegals that's everybody from every country living illegally & working & going to school & not just those that came across the border. You are talking about tens of thousands of people who are contributing to our economy. Many of them are unskilled workers who works at low paying jobs that no U.S citizen would want. Who will replace them? Our economy will collapse once they're gone unless you pay $25 an hour with full benefits & hire legal citizens. ?

The Dems have trained these Illegals to try to use the U.S. Taxpayer like a cheap prostitute.

I am a U.S. born Mexican-American. This woman disgusts me. My father was a decorated WWII veteran. He, too, was a U.S. born citizen, as well as my mother. We never had much. One thing they both taught me was to help people who had less than we did. I look mexican, yet when I open my mouth, I don't have the accent my parents had. I have been targeted by random people just minding my business running errands. I have on occasion stuck up for my fellow Hispanic when I have seen them ignored and mistreated. What the f is wrong with this person. Was she not taught anything about empathy and compassion? Isn't she at risk of being deported? The green card can easily be taken away. Honey, they don't want us here. Yes, I include myself in that. This woman is as racist as any skin head. They will turn on her in a second. What a fool. Even Mexico doesn't deserve for this woman to be tossed back to them.

Yes but as you said you're into nature. Not everyone is so at least in the U.S. for example, there's plenty of nature but there's also plenty of exciting places to go otherwise. NYC, LA, Vegas, Chicago, Miami etc etc. Canada has nothing like those cities.

Question from Minorities that are U.S. Citizens born here…..are law enforcement officials going to be able to profile us because we are of Hispanic ethnic group? Will we be stopped because of driving while brown or will they have to have a justifiable reason? Will white looking individuals also be scrutinized as there are some who are also here illegally?

Be careful what you wish for...deporting EVERY illegal will make this nation's economy collapse. Who picks the fruit, works in restaurants, cleans hotels, stocks supplies in stores, drives trucks? The backbone driving the U.S. economy is undocumented labor. Wake up and realize it.

You are either in the U.S. legally or illegally and if illegally then you need to leave or be removed. There are of course legally authorized exceptions, like for work so Democrats need to stop with the nobody to work in the fields BS. It's anybody's guess as to why Democrats insist on breaking immigration laws by harboring illegal immigrants and by not cooperating with ICE, but at least now they know part of the reason why Trump won the election and why Republicans will control the House and the Senate. Maybe we could do this. For every illegal immigrant the Democrats let in, send a Democrat back to their country. This way it will all even out.

Republicans have absolutely no idea how to deport 15 to 20 million people. Between the mass deportation and massive tariffs the U.S. will be bankrupt within a year .

Furthermore, do all these deportations and inflation increases again. Add all these tariffs again get ready for more inflation. The deportations will cause significant increases in grocery prices. You made your bed U.S. now you will sleep in it. Enjoy the future price increases!

Spouses of U.S. citizens should not be deported!!

Trump is President-elect for two days:\n\n- Stock market hits record high\n- Migrant caravan at our border dissolves\n- Hamas calls for end to war\n- Bitcoin hits record high \n- Putin ready to end Ukraine war\n- Qatar kicks out Hamas leaders\n- EU will buy U.S. gas not Russian gas\n- Putin will sell oil in U.S. dollars\n- Zelenskyy phones Trump & Elon\n- NYC Mayor ends vouchers for illegals\n- Mexico to stop migrants at U.S. border\n- China wants to work peacefully with us\n- Big U.S. company to move out of China\n\nI repeat: Trump has been President-elect for two days.

Then Elon Musk will have to go also. He was in the U.S. on a student visa. He did not enroll in school but instead spent that time working on starting up a company. He later lied about this on immigration forms when applying for citizenship.

Millions want to go to NY from Texas. Millions! We will oblige them. We cant stop them. They are free to roam anywhere in the U.S. The gangs love NY!

People really dont study history. A notable example of mass deportation impacting the economy is the mass repatriation of Mexican immigrants during the Great Depression in the 1930s. The U.S. government deported or encouraged the departure of hundreds of thousands of Mexican immigrants (many of whom were legally present and even U.S. citizens). This policy was partly driven by the belief that these individuals were taking jobs that could go to American citizens during a time of economic hardship.\n\nEconomic Impact in the 1930s:\n\n1. Labor Shortages: The sudden reduction in the Mexican labor force left many industries, especially agriculture and infrastructure, with labor shortages. Mexican workers had been essential to industries like farming, railroads, and manufacturing, where they took on physically demanding jobs that other workers were less willing to perform. As a result, productivity in these sectors declined.

A green card, also known as a Permanent Resident Card, grants the holder the right to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely, but they are still considered noncitizens. 

Green card holders do not have the same rights as U.S. citizens, such as the right to vote, run for political office, or sponsor other family members for green cards. Hope she became a citizen. Hope she didn’t vote if she is not a citizen.

The new president of the U.S. is convicted felon. The world seeing the U.S. vulnerability!

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

If anyone asking “how they’re rounding up all of those people?” Think how the Nazis rounded up the Jews and how the U.S. rounded up the Japanese during world war 2.

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.

Canada braces for U.S. deportation under Trump, doesn't effect us.

Don't let them in you won't be able to send them back when you find out they're not admissible, they're in the U.S. illegally for some reason. We are full beyond capacity already, no more, we have no housing, no jobs for them, our hospitals are already at the breaking point, taxpayers are not paying for more people to live in hotels and feed and cloth them. We have Canadians living on the streets, they need to be our priority not anyone else.

Each year, undocumented workers pay $59.4 billion in federal tax contributions and $37.3 billion in state and local tax contributions. Contrary to the false narrative about immigration reform harming the economy, an earned path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living and working across the United States would boost American economic growth, increasing U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), raising wages, and creating new jobs. Moreover, immigrants, regardless of their legal status, are a boon for the solvency of Social Security and Medicare. Indeed, the trustees who are charged with overseeing the Social Security and Medicare programs estimate that high-immigration scenarios lead to higher solvency for the programs

IT'S A LOGISTICAL PIPE DREAM, money and morals not withstanding:\nThere are about 800,000 law enforcement personnel in the entire U.S. from local to Federal level, incl. FBI, DEA, etc. There is NO way of deporting 11,000,000 people. It takes 4-6 law enforcement officers to make 1 regular felony arrest, more if there is more danger (i.e. SWAT, etc.). One would have to ask every single officer from local to Federal to essentially arrest and deport 12-13 people EACH - and stop doing all other law enforcement work to do that. And here's the other thing: \n\nU.S. citizens do MORE crime per capita than ANY immigrant community, be it legal or illegal. This is conveniently not mentioned by the MAGA and the right. It's just racist bullshit in fake patriotic clothing.

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

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!

Restrict Asylum and increase immigration of friendly nation's engineers and scientists. Increase U.S. educated foreign engineers and scientists immigration.

The creation of a new CBSA branch dedicated to physical border surveillance has become necessary given the unique challenges posed by the world's longest undefended international border. While the RCMP struggles to maintain this surveillance alongside its many other responsibilities, a specialized unit could focus exclusively on this mission, with appropriate expertise and equipment. This new branch would also allow for better coordination with U.S. Border Patrol to counter the increase in irregular crossings and illegal trafficking, while complementing CBSA's current work at official ports of entry.

Because that will bring prices down on bacon and eggs? Abd will be swell! Lol the amount of resources and money that this will drain. This alone would put a dent on our economic recovery. President Cheeto is inheriting a thriving economy. \n\n\nRepublicans are going to run through the U.S woth F's to give. Elections can have severe consequences.

A mandate is a mandate but it’s ok to try to overthrow the U.S. Govt

Then they can come back into the U.S. Legally and get their job back

What about legal immigrants who had worked here for 30 plus years, will the U.S stop paying their social security benefits if they are deported for a crime?\nI don't think it is fair withholding their benefits though. It is Ok to deport them but we should not stop paying them since this is the only country they had ever worked for.

What an a__. U.S needs immigrants cause citizens would rather not do certain jobs.. never mind that it is inhumane + your own pm ancestors came in uninvited. Such hypocrisy..

Better deport Malania, then. Melanija Knavs, was born in Slovenia (then part of Yugoslavia) in 1970. She started her career as a model, which took her to cities around Europe before she eventually moved to the United States in 1996. Melania met Donald Trump at a party in New York in 1998, and they began dating. They married in 2005, and she became a U.S. citizen in 2006, the same year their son Barron was born.\nHer path from Slovenia to the U.S. and eventually to becoming the First Lady of the United States is a unique one, shaped by her career and her relationship with Trump. By THEIR definition.

A functioning immigration system must remove illegal aliens \n \nRecent disclosures by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that hundreds of thousands of criminal immigrants are at large in the United States raise the question of why the Biden-Harris administration isn’t doing more to remove them. Increasing deportations is a necessary part of fixing what Vice President Kamala Harris refers to as “our broken immigration system.” She is right to describe it that way. But the administration in which she serves was the one to break it, not least by impeding ICE deportations. \n \nCurrently, about 1.3 million aliens under final orders of removal — those who have received due process and been ordered deported — are on ICE’s “non-detained docket” of 7 million individuals. These individuals include criminal aliens, whom Congress has directed ICE to detain and remove. But ICE can’t remove many of them because they’re from so-called recalcitrant countries — nations that refuse to provide the U.S. government with the travel documents it needs to facilitate the return of their nationals. The Supreme Court has held that, with only narrow exceptions, even detained criminals due to be deported must be released after six months absent a “significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.” If ICE can’t get their travel documents, there’s no likelihood of removal. \n \nFortunately, Congress gave the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) a tool to force recalcitrant countries to comply. Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration won’t use it. Under section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), once DHS notifies the State Department that a foreign country “denies or unreasonably delays” the return of its nationals, the secretary of state must “order consular officers in that foreign country to discontinue granting immigrant visas or nonimmigrant visas, or both,” to nationals of that country. The George W. Bush and Obama administrations used that authority sparingly, each restricting visa issuance to just one country in order to force compliance. As my colleague Mark Krikorian recently noted, “Trump made much wider use of it, and got results.”\nSOURCE, CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES

Illegal Alien Released Into U.S. Allegedly Pulls Girl Into Van and Sexually Assaults Her \nMay 10, 2024 \nr \nIn another case of a horrifying and preventable crime, an illegal alien in Florida is accused of grabbing an 11-year-old girl, dragging her into a van and sexually assaulting her. \n \nThe incident unfolded when the victim’s mother noticed her daughter was not inside the home and went outside to look for her. \n \nWhile walking around outside, the mother noticed a van with her daughter inside. That’s when she banged on the van and asked the man what he was doing inside with her daughter. The suspect, Marvin Perez Lopez, then apologized and asked for forgiveness as he ran out of the van. \n \nThe girl told investigators that the suspect grabbed her and told her to get into the van, where he abused her. She says she tried to get out of the vehicle, but Lopez grabbed her again and pulled her back in. \n \nPalm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says the illegal alien suspect confessed to the sexual assault and will face trial in the U.S. before he can even think about being deported. \n \nAccording to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Lopez is from Guatemala and entered the United States illegally as a single adult male in January 2024 after crossing through Mexico. He made it to Palm Beach County later in January. How Lopez trekked from the southern border to Florida is unclear. Did an NGO facilitate his travel? It’s a question that should be answered. \n \nLopez, like so many illegal aliens entering the country under President Biden’s de facto open-borders policies, willingly turned himself into Border Patrol, likely with the expectation he would be released with a court date years in the future. He was given a notice to appear in 2027 and released on his own recognizance. \n \nThe United States has a full repatriation agreement with Guatemala, and Lopez could have been sent back. Instead, he was free to roam in the United States for five years. \nSOURCE, FAIR US org

Murderer from Colombia Released Into U.S. by ICE After Crossing Border Illegally \nMay 22, 2024 \n \nThe recent arrest of Efrain Vidales Vargas, a convicted murderer from Colombia, is another example of the perilous consequences of the Biden administration’s failure to secure our borders. \n \nVargas, who entered the U.S. illegally near Yuma, Arizona, in November 2023, was initially detained but subsequently released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). \n \nVargas is wanted in Colombia on charges of aggravated homicide, aggravated theft and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was convicted and sentenced to 17 years in prison on September 29, 2016. \n \nICE knew about Vargas’ murder conviction in Colombia and extensive criminal history. An ICE officer on December 11, 2023, even noted his conviction in Columbia, but two days later, he was released with a notice to appear and allowed to roam freely in the United States. This was apparently due to a “national bed space shortage caused by the Southwest border surge.” \n \nThis incident is a glaring example of how the current administration’s open-border policies jeopardize the safety of Americans and undermine the rule of law.\nSOURCE, FAIR US org

People keep using fear mongering by talking about denaturalization and how it can strip your citizenship and depot you against your will. And while that may be true, that only applies to those who got their citizenship through naturalization....and there are many other ways to get a citizenship lol. Granted I don't agree with his massive deportation stance at all. I just also don't want everybody to freak out without knowing the facts. I saw U.S born citizens (I am speaking about other races that white people) freaking out that they may lose their citizenship ?. Which is hilarious, because you CAN NOT lose your citizenship if you were born here unless you decide yourself to get a citizenship in a different country lol. So to all the latino, asian, african american, indian, etc people that were BORN in the united states.....please stop freaking out. Denaturalization isn't going to affect you lol.

u.s. get. FEMA. camp. in. u . s. ?

If she turns her back on her own family, I wonder what will it take for her to turn her back on the U.S. or her higher power.

It's not just Cubans. Anyone running from Communism gets helped out. Venezuelans get the same treatment. But what younger people don't know, the U.S. failed to defend Cuba from the communists. They were, as Kennedy was, betrayed from within. It cost thousands of Cuban lives. Cuba was an American territory for centuries, while still under Spanish control. And so America has always given them assistance when fleeing the communists. There's a responsibility there.\n\nThese are the children and grandchildren of that effort. They are definitely displaying American arrogance, not Cuban. Communists aren't allowed arrogance. \n\nBut this is a human nature problem. Even the Arab has an attitude, and his history is not Cuban.\n\nBut, yes, South Florida Cubans vote for trump. They're mortified of ANYTHING that smells of socialism. And Kamala and Walz reeked of it.

Trump is going to deport illegal criminals and Venezuela gangs. Why would we let those people into Canada? I read that you can’t seek asylum if you’re coming from a country that is considered safe, like the U.S.

There not in the U.S. to commit crimes, dont even make sense, why would a person go to the U.S. to work want to commit a crime? and then be deported, they came for work, instead of migrant, the U.S. needs to go after Americans who are the vest majority of criminals and gangs in gangland U.S.A, your deporting hard working mostly decent people and family's, they just exaggerate as to make stupid people believe these people being deported are real criminals, dont even try to deport criminals American to Mexico
