No, they shouldn't be allowed here either. This isn't right. We've already had hundreds of thousands come here. Funny how this all happened when we were on lockdown from COVID?

America isn’t being held hostage! Take It Back To What? The Uneducated People Keep Moving On!??

Mass deportation isn't working as Trump promised. They will face the same problems Europe is facing The country of origin is not willing to take them back in large amounts, especially not the ones who got criminalized in the US. So it will end up in camps and that's going to be real costly. \nIt's all messed up anyway, if farmers complain exceptions will be made, and foreign criminals will always find a way into the country trough false documents or bribe. After the initial wave it will be all low tide again.

Even the Foreign Station is Blaming Biden for Kamala's Loss... get over Joe, the Cackler Lost on her own, she isn't qualified and can't handle the pressure

It’s just talk. Trump will not do shit but make excuses why mass deportation isn’t working

Anyone reading this that is planning on crossing the border. I'm gonna be frank with ya. Aside from the fact that you probably shouldn't be trying to circumvent our laws just to avoid a situation you don't like in the USA right now... you also shouldn't be trying to cross our border in what is becoming our winter season. \n\nThere are plenty who try, and many do meet a grim fate due to the elements they are just not prepared for. And even if you think you can do it, or prepare enough to do it, you still shouldn't. There isn't much you can do when you have fallen into one of the many sloughs that hide beneath the snow and ice during winter, waiting to make you a popsicle. And if you get out of that, you still have to somehow get warm again. But let's say you avoid that, what then? Well, we have these really cold biting winds that make the -30 temps feel like -40 or worse. But you came prepared, so let's say you can handle that for a bit. Well, you sweat. You will get damp, then wet, over time. Then your fancy clothing doesn't do much for you anymore. Ya dig?\n\nOh but wait, there's more. So we have this wildlife eh', and it likes to do this thing that wild life does... and it eats you. Coyotes are one such kind of wildlife. Bears are another. Both are prolific in certain areas, all the way down to the border in some cases. \n\nGranted, coyotes usually aren't a huge problem for us up here, but that's cause we know how to deal with them usually. Bears are another issue, that even we have problems with at times. You'll probably run into a black bear if you run into one. Grizzlies tend to be further north and to the west. You're gone too far somehow if you find Polar bears. \n\nThere are other critters to mention, but they're more active in the summer, like rattle snakes. (Yes, we have them)\n\nOkay, so you got past the border, and you actually somehow managed to survive the winter temps in your trek to some sort of civilization. Now you have to somehow find a place to live. This is of course assuming you decided to try to bypass all our border security of course. You could go to an embassy and declare asylum I guess. But right now, you're more likely to be given a ticket back to where you came from initially. So that's not something in the game plan for you. What then?\n\nWelcome to being homeless. Oh, and you're still having to deal with our winter temperatures. \n\nSuffice to say, right now is not a good time to be trying to ignore our laws just to do whatever you want. Consider this a fair warning, as this about all the F's I have to give over it all in regards to your safety. I just am dismayed that some of you mouth breathers are going to get your kids harmed because of it all as well.

These people will soon find out that having a visa to be here isn't going to matter. When the deportations start it will be up to those people to prove they belong including being born here. Not the other way around. They're not going to bother to sort out who stays and who goes. They'll all be deported and have to start all over. \n\n.

“Who knew mass deportation was so complicated” -Trump \n\nYou latinos that voted for Trump should realize that Trump isn’t encumbered by concerns about being re-elected. The voters have no leverage on him any longer. And he’s not big on laws or rules or nuance or details. And his SCOTUS just recently made him a King. So it’s gonna be much simpler to just grab people who look Latino and bus them to Mexico. Say what? You were born in the US and are a legal citizen? Well not anymore, birthright citizenship doesn’t count if your parents or grandparents can’t prove their legal status. Your “citizenship” is illegally predicated per new DHS secretary Stephen Miller. So you became illegal too when Trump won Pennsylvania. So sad. \n\nYou probably should have thought a bit more carefully before you put your trust in a serial liar and criminal. \n\nTa-ta.

So start with Donald Trump, who has been convicted for 34 felonies and is suspected of dozens more crimes including theft of classified documents and trying to steal an election. Isn't that the definition of illegal?

I finally understand all this support for Donald Trump. It took me a while. This isn't a small number, it's in fact now The Majority!! Hitler wasn't that popular at first either. Like in 1930s Germany and The Jews, illegals will be allowed to leave a while; then the Gestapo tactics can fully begin on those that didn't believe. I'm pretty sure many here are salivating already.

And they shouldn’t speak to her! She isn’t loyal to her own blood. Damn!

Isn't it common sense on the question what to do with the illegal immigrants. What does any normal human being do with anything that's illegal? Why is CNN always so surprised with this question. Go open up a dictionary and get a definition of illegal, then you will know what to do with them

deporting immigrants isn’t going to fix the economy.

I'm moving to Canada ... somewhere. It's very confusing. \nWhat would be nice would be a check off list for each territory (you could do it FIRST) with features. \nAccess to water within 10 miles \nCity library \nMuseum \nSnow removal \nGood schools \nPastry shops (I know this isn't a priority, but if you make the system easy enough people will do it for you.) \nRental prices more than 2,000 \nRental prices more than 1,000 \n \nGet the idea? \n \nI'm retired, financially well off, love reading, no kids (or grandkids) does Canada want me to move in, spend my money? Then make it easier. \n \n!I could click off my choices and have a list of small towns / villages.\n\nI have 6 pages of scribbled notes so far

Who will be working at the turds golf resorts? I scared myself when my mind went to assignments of some being deported or blacks ? The text going around to students and many others may have used plantation instead of golf courses. It’s the people still in the dark that backed this, Elon isn’t alone. Which corporations donated. What about the rich people in the room that day he asked for money and promised them tax cuts. Personally I think with help from foreign tech they managed to cheat. Democrats have to investigate

I'm starting to think of leaving the place just isn't what it used to be

I'm for Democrats. However, I don't understand why illegal migration is supported by CNN. I mean why do we even have a law that calls them illegal immigrants if the law isn't being enforced?

Doesn't Donald Trump wife meets that mandate the last time I checked isn't she Russian?

As first generation American all this endless whining is getting old. When my family came here, they all had to have a health certificate and a sponsor that guaranteed they would have employment and housing waiting for them when they got here. If not, they weren’t going to be allowed on the boat to start with. No free housing, health care, food or education. \n \n\n So what part of ILLEGAL ALIEN isn’t being understood. This kind of nonsense isn’t allowed in virtually any other country on the planet. Try to cross into Mexico or Canada illegally and see where you end up. The argument is Americans don’t want to do the jobs that the illegals do yet back in the day Americans did do these jobs. The problem is too many Americans today think jobs that require physical labor are beneath them and too many are getting paid way too much for what the job they’re doing entails. Sorry but flipping burgers and asking if you want fries with that IS NOT a job worth $15 or $20 bucks an hour.

It's funny how he said if businesses would stop hiring illegals, SIR, it's probably YOUR company that's hiring them. Smh how foolish. So don't get mad when you don't get the same level of service as you were getting because the elites kicked all the illegals out. Definitely deport the criminals but the hard workers isn't right.

I don’t understand why illegal immigration isn’t a bipartisan issue

Not a single coherent response? This is who we elected for senator?\n\nTell them the sheriffs are gonna ask for passport at every point. Those who can’t produce it will be put in deportation proceedings. All ages all genders will be treated equally. Isn’t that what 72 million Americans voted for?

She keeps asking questions but isn't hearing his answer... THEY DO NOT CARE!!!

According to a CBS poll, the majority of Americans (60%) are in favor of Mass deportations including 45% of Latino voters. This isn’t a controversial issue. If someone breaks into a country, they should be kicked out. Why can’t Democrats say this?

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

Looking at the general state of the States, the future isn't going to get better. it is GUARANTEED to get worse. A lot worse.

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.

Here's a clue. Any money that isn't spent overseas or on immigration won't be funneled your way it will be used to give Billionaires tax breaks. So will Social Security and Medicare when it's gutted. Have fun with that.

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

Alex Garland’s Civil War posed the question: “What KIND of American are you?”\nIf Trump’s wannabe Brown shirts realise expelling immigrants isn’t fixing the price hikes Putin’s war and COVID and now Middle East tensions have foisted upon the entire globe , do these people imagine it won’t be them that get pointed at next?\nGot to feel bad for them because MAGA really doesn’t give one wafer thin sliver of a $#1t about them

After CNN has been controlling the narrative. Orange man bad! Guess he isn’t as bad as your authoritarian cult controlling party said he is. America first then allies. Not propaganda and agenda and illegal imagination first then America!

They'll all see, they don't speak like Trump, and their color isn't as white as Trump's beautiful white skin. He also said, papers or not, immigrants all go ?. Good luck to you all, in the USA. You certainly are proving, how dumb you are. Now live with your decisions. I don't think the world is gonna give 2 shits about any of you that voted for Trump. He told you all what he and his goons have planned for you. Smh in disbelief ??

I know this video is old but I think you should know the little ding you use is INCREDIBLY distracting. I can’t more than 3 minutes into this video because I cannot stand it interrupting. \n(This isn’t a hate comment I’m trying to help viewer retention)

This isn’t ignorance. It’s sheer betrayal and stupidity.

She isn`t contributing anything good to this planet.

Try to see the glass as half full for these woman … sure , they didn’t vote as you would have liked them to but , at least they are woman and they will now get to fulfill a promise made many times during this campaign. They can see what can be , unburdened by what has been…. And in the grand scheme of things , isn’t that a little victory for Harris in all this? ?

You do realize it’s not just Latinos that would be getting deported. Mass deportation also includes Africans, Haitians, Arabs, Egyptians, etc. Do you think an ICE officer will cares enough to differentiate between a Black American born in the US and say a Black Honduran ?? What about families who are mixed race and one parent is US born while the other isn’t? Then what? I’m immensely disappointed by Latinos voting for this man, but mass deportation isn’t “cut and dry” where it’s only going to effect one group. It’s going to impact TONSSS of people across the board.

I repel the “well this is what they voted for” mentality. It’s an excuse to not fight. You’re essentially telling what could be the 21st century Japanese internment style victims, well, this is what you voted for. As though there isn’t a multibillion dollar brainwashing and propaganda industry being blasted in their ears 24-7. This is victim blaming, and it plays right into the hands of the real criminals. Your mightier than thou stance is a squandered opportunity to stop an unprecedented crime against humanity in the making.

Ahhhhhhh, your life isn't gonna be better. Not only are you an immigrant, you're a woman. Geeez you people just don't get it. All he care about is himself. Ya'll are gonna be crying in 6 months or maybe sooner.

Harper said it best in 2015: “Trudeau isn’t ready.” He wasn’t ready then and he isn’t ready now. He has been an utter failure as a PM and as a Canadian.

A $15.00 minimum wage was fine for back when they started the push - in about 2015, - but today to make that same amount of money we'd need to up that to around $28.00 per hour..\n Delays aren't helpful.\nWe needed Biden to do it by executive order, but he's no champion of the working classes.\nNeither is Bernie, who chickened out of the presidency TWICE!\n\nTrump isn't going to help at all.. Hell, he'll probably drop it to whatever your employer is willing to pay.. Tips?. Yeah, working for tips as a wage..\n\nTrump's voters can kiss my ass.\nI'm selling my house in spring and moving to Sweden..

We don't even have a border patrol ffs. The cbsa only works at ports of entry. The rcmp isn't visible in Ontario & Quebec.

Oh, here come all the WARNINGS ? just like in 2016 when they WARNED us the economy was going to crash and we’d be in WW3. In actuality, w head a booming economy and no wars. So this deportation plan will be great for the country. Trump isn’t even in office yet and stocks and 401ks are way up! And Hamas wants the war to end. Russia wants a reset with America. The next 4 years will be amazing! You’re welcome, democrats.

Trudope isn't ready for anything m

My town just got 2.5 million the other week for roads n bridges. To say money isn’t getting spent here is not true.

Mass exodus or deportation whatever term you choose. If your bloodline isn’t 100 years old with a US census paper trail

I moved here from France in 2000. It was always multicultural. But now its overun by Indians. We have china town in Toronto, but damn Brampton isn't little India, excpet it is because of the mass population of indians completly NOT multi-cultural.... Not to mention the lack of houses and jobs and we're supoosed to be happy that this is hapening?

Who are these fools going to blame when their finances don’t get magically better, gas isn’t one dollar a gallon, and there are still conflicts around the world? Trump?

Trump may have won the 2024 election, will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2025 to become the 47th U.S. President, but Trump isn’t my president. Allow me to explain. There are certain attributes that define a U.S. president. A U.S. president places the citizens of this country ahead of his own personal interests. Trump doesn’t do that (hasn’t done that). Trump is self serving. On Jan ’21, Trump became an insurrectionist. Many citizens and police officers were injured and one police officers lost his life. According to the Constitution (the Supreme Court disagrees with me), Trump incited citizens to overthrown the certification of the 2020 election. Insurrection is one of the lowest acts any American can do, let alone a U.S. President. Trump states that the “insurrection” falls under immunity for “official acts”. Since when is “insurrection” an “official presidential duty”? Trump is a known Master Liar. This is beyond a moment when a president estimates, guesses and exaggerate numbers, figures and facts. Trump just lies – over 2k+ lies. Trump cannot be trusted in telling Americans the truth. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a lie flies out! Trump doesn’t appear to be able to help himself. One lie after another. Spreading the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” and not providing legal evidence is an unforgivable act that Americans should #NEVER forget. MAGA, selected GOP, Christian Nationalists don’t appear to be troubled that Trump cannot tell the truth. To me, the truth strengthens the bond of trust – I have NO Trust for Trump! MAGA, Christian Nationalists and some selected GOP – I may use big words that you don’t comprehend such as: Liar, Convicted Felon, sexual misconduct, Insurrection, Fraud, election interference, Unauthorized Possession of classified documents. These are some, not ALL, of the words that defines Trump and his actions. These things do NOT appear to cause any concerns with the 71.2m people who cast their vote in the Nov 5th ’24 presidential election. Trump had unauthorized possession of classified material. (I am not certain what Classified Material Trump possessed, but if these documents would put my friends, my family and I in harm’s way – it’s a problem.) Again, those who voted for Trump, the 71.2m people, #NEVER thought about this. If they had, Trump would #NEVER have received their vote. America has a short attention span. How quickly have we forgotten that Trump’s inaction of Covid-19 could have prevented many from becoming ill and millions losing their lives. (If one of your loved ones have passed due to Covid-19, you will remember Trump’s inability to deal and handle the situation. It is something you will #NEVER forget.) I will not write a book here, but the listed reasons above is why Trump may be the 47th President of the United States, but he isn’t my president. My president would have #NEVER done these things to an American.
