Another uninformed person, once deported, based on criminal status, you can't reapply legally as you say. Say your goodbyes now.

And this is what we call, a ladder puller. Now that she was able to become a citizen, rather than helping her family members to get their legal status, which can be difficult, tedious and very expensive, she could care less if the lives they have already spent decades on building here are completely destroyed. She seems to be fully aware that it can be a difficult process, and I personally have seen that it’s not exactly a fair one either. I have seen some people spend not only years waiting on a hearing or a determination, but spend thousands they scrape together on lawyers and obtaining records, while others submit minimal evidence and get a determination in weeks. Instead of admitting that there are problems with the system and vote for people who are actually trying to help, she wants the same system that made it a difficult process for her to stay the same for them. In fact she voted for someone who is going to make it harder if not impossible for them to come back the right way in the first place. Is she not thinking? If they get deported, that is going into immigration records and when that gets pulled up when they apply to come back it will likely cause any legally efforts to return to be rejected. And who knows how long that will stay in their system? Could be years, could be permanent. Biden’s idea to help those undocumented who are married to citizens to be able to apply and get a temporary visa to stay here while they wait so that families wouldn’t have to be broken up by having the applicant return to their country of origin. That was not just a great idea from a humanitarian point, but they could apply for a job that wasn’t going to take advantage of them by paying below minimum wage, with no rights if they are injured. That could help bring local wages up. They would start contributing back by paying their fair share of taxes, and do on. Republicans in red states stopped it though and are suing the Biden administration for trying to do what? Help people and fix some of the issues that our broken immigration system has caused? \nSorry lady, but you earned your family’s ire and whatever treatment you get from the administration you voted for.

How stupid can you get? Trump will do everything he can, legal or illegal, to keep non-European immigrants from entering the country legally or illegally. He's racist to the core and too stupid to understand how many jobs immigrants do that nonimmigrants don't want to do. And did she say she was a citizen? Because if she's not, she's not safe either.

but indians dont come on grants..they work hard and pay taxes... you should be worried about ill legal immigrants...

Exactly! As a Mexican American as well . I absolutely ? agree ? with you. There's a legal way this can be done period. I'm also ok if someone in my family is upset, not the end of the world. .

Father I am holding on my opinion on this kind of sweet crises. Let me talk here. For this new government they eliminate all illegal immigrants. Becouse the loves of heavenly father I will not move the illegal people in the US. Why. Is becouse of the word love becouse God made the world made the people he put the air in people to breath and live becouse of his loves. So my mission is under love power. So I'm not going to send the people away . What I will do is show them how they will become legal. And stay continue to work for living .

I feel for you guys. Most Western nations are experiencing this. The politicians are letting in people as if people are going to be sold out and no longer be available. You must vote for politicians that will take this situation seriously. \n\nI am an American and the only reason the USA is handling its legal and illegal immigration is because of how large we are. We can absorb it better than any other country. The USA also severely limits legal immigration and now with Trump, hopefully illegal immigration numbers go down too.

They know its wrong, they do it anyway, when they reach the border, the sob stories begin and the tears turn on like a faucet. My family immigrated from across the globe and came in through legal ports of entry. They didn't have to turn on the drama.

The question is , how did they survive for 20/30 years not legal ? You see what the sistem did , use them , slave them , then dispouze them atfer that ....use and dispoze , slavery sistem (SSES) .....

Part of me feels bad because I feel like she's so brainwashed, but the other part of me has no mercy. Because you can't be that ignorant at that age. Shame on you. But what she don't realize is. The she would be going with her family. Your daddy Trump doesn't care if you came here legally. His white supremest people he put in charge. Do not care anything about you. It's sad because when they come to get her family. They'll be putting cuffs on her too.

Im a legal immigrant. If I have to bring my family here illegally then they are NOT coming here at all. Its that simple.

She’s right. Legal is legal. Illegal is a crime. If you can’t do the time (deportation), don’t commit the crime (illegal entry).

this lady has to be stupid and don't know\nunderstand where she lives. If her cousin is deported no way to come back legally in 10 years.

they way i look at this is sure they may get deported but if they choose to come back legally the country itself will be better i doubt even illegals want gangs and criminals

I am Cuban. I came to the US legally in 1967. My parents left their families and everything behind in order to give my sisters and me a better life in the freedom and democracy of the US. We flew out of Cuba the day after my 7th birthday. I was young but old enough to see the look on my mother’s face and my grandmother’s face to realize that they new they were never going to see each other again. We left a land ruled by an iron fisted dictator. It was the sacrifice of a lifetime for my parents to bring us kids here and now my sisters can’t understand why I don’t want to talk to them because they have voted for a man who wants to be a dictator, who disrespects women and took away their right to control their bodies(I have a college graduate daughter….what if someday she needs an abortion to save her life because the fetus did not develop right?), a man who is clearly a racist in every sense of the word, who only projects hate and division, but does everything he can for white billionaire men. This Mexican-American woman and my sisters disgust me. My sisters have betrayed my parents and the sacrifice they made.

Shes a true American citizen who is here legally, she believes people who are here illegally should have to leave, even her family. She’s actually only in the right. The illegal immigration needs to stop know matter who it is. Like thats only pure sanity, logicality, and realness. Know one should ever support illegal immigration no matter what nation you’re in, especially if its your home, each and every nation only has the resources to support its citizens, not billions of other nations citizens along with its own. America is the only nation with people who actually support illegal immigration, and thats sad.

Some Trump supporters think she should also be deported. I don’t want people like her deported but I know Trump supporters who want all Latino people deported regardless of their legal status.

Preach Senora❤❤❤ As a Filipino-American and A LEGAL RESIDENCE OF USA, ( Not a tourist using a tourist visa ) i have to go back and forth to the US immigration office in Philippines, i waited for months, stand in line for long hours a couple of times , interviewed by US immigration counselors, paid different kinds of processing fees, even had a seminar what to bring and not to bring in the USA,and a complete PHYSICAL CHECK UP AND VACCINATED TO PROTECT AMERICANS before getting in US soil..these happened not in one day only,takes months!! And i am proud AMERICAN ❤❤❤?

Once you are deported you will never get permission to re-enter legally. This woman has no idea.

LIKE COMING TO THE LAND OF THE FREE,AND HOME OF THE BRAVE SO,SO EASY?PLEASE,YOU'D BE TRYING FOR 100 YEARS...WAIT TILL HE TELLS YOU GO BACK TO YOUR PLACE OF BIRTH,A MAN MARRIED TO AN IMMIGRANT...THEY WERE SO LAZY TO APPLY TO BE LEGAL AFTER 30 YEARS? STANDING IN LINE IS ALL IT TAKES? DELUSIONAL!!! A BIG FUSS IN A LAND 92% EMPTY ..

Illegal is illegal. Come the legal way.

Yes, you can deport them but do you really want to?\nThe whole purpose of not legalizing them is because you need them to fill the jobs that no one wants to do ! \nYou can reduce the people who get welfare and housing for free,and that's all,but those are legal immigrants!

Cubans saying they came legally is the saddest part. ...

Does she not realize that Trump doesn’t care if they’re legal or not she will also get deported

Ask plenty of Latinos who are legally in the US and they will agree with this lady. Imagine busting your ass off to get a green card and citizenship the right way only for millions of people to cross through illegally expecting the same benefits

That lady Is so naive. Once deported its a Bear to get back legally specially with a 10 years bar of inadmissability.

Except that if you are deported for being in the US illegally, you are barred from immigrating legally.

immigration policy and only allowing people in legally is NOT the reason to despise Trump. There are a thousand other reasons, like a history of sexual abuse, a criminal record, not allowing women freedom of choice over their own bodies and just being bully with no manners are just a few...

No, he doesn't mean immigrants. He means illegal immigrants. Not legal immigrants and if he doesn't try to do that. I say good luck with that good luck with that.

Whos going to pay for this? All the administrative and legal fees, tranportation and so on?

I see lots of comments bashing these folks and I get it, sort of. Trump won by a landslide, and most of his supporters want mass deportation. I find that ironic insomuch as everyone here, other than Native Americans, are or are descendants of immigrants. Did they all come here legally? And for those whose ancestors did, how much easier was it way back then. Plenty of hypocrisy to go around.

Us conservative's DO consider her American. This IS her country. And no- LEGAL immigrants are NOT going to be deported. They feel the same way about legal immigrants as they do illegal ones, yet both Trump and JD's wife's are legal immigrants? Lol. This comment section is laughable. Good for this lady for standing up for what is right regardless of who gets mad at her for it. She didn't turn her back on them; they stopped talking to her because she supports Trump and believes in following the law. Tgat's whats pathetic. ?‍♀️

Illegal immigrants are punishing legal immigrants , who apply through the regulations for ten+ years

Is Kamala here legally, she is of India descent?

I am Mexican, I went to College and worked legally in the US, and I am living in Mexico right now. I am totally against illegal immigration, but what I oppossed the most is the racism between Latinos. I can tell you that most of the people who treated me the worst were my own people. Latinos don't like other Latinos there and even less illegal immigrants, even if they were once illegal, 'cause they are not gonna take away what was so hard for them to get !! so so sad, I guess they are ashamed of where they come ???? and that's a big reason why they voted for Trump!!

PROOF it's a cult- 1) she dismisses family members getting deported. Cares more about loyalty to the cult leader. 2) Actually believes him that they can come back in legally once they are back in Mexico. Does ANYONE think ANYONE deported will EVER be allowed back in? No.

If you not here legally beat it..I can’t go over there and get the help they get .free ride is over scram get out

We the people TRUMP THE GOVERMENT. WE THE PEOPLE WANT THEM GONE. THEY CAN COME BACK. ONLY LEGALLY. LOOK THE GOVERMENT FOR PASS 4 YEAR CORRUP? SO WE THE PEOPLE SAY IT AND START WORKING FOR US. U ASS HOLES.

Come in LEGAL WAY!!\na lot of people dont know and don't understand hiw broken the immigration system is.\nI have seen they don't want to fix the problem and they use that excuse of come legally, but won't truly fix it.\nThey deny and deny when its done the legal way. So , by denying they keep those people away and so on and so on. \nYou have to be white and from an European country with lots of money to get in quickly. \nJust look at Melania how she became a citizen . ?

A Green Card is for Legal Permanent Residency - revokeable if one commits a crime.\n\nIt can be used to apply for American Citizenship. Therefore if this woman hasnt did so ( which involves passing a Citizen test), she's Not an American citizen, her nationality is Mexican.\n\nTrump stated that legals will be deported if they're have been on any type of long term claiming of various benefits - so no contribution from them to the US.

Who says, that you have a right to stay as legal immigrant? Donald Trump said Americans first, not including immigrants.

shes quite ignorant as well of you get deported i really dont believe they give you another chance to enter the country legally again

Legal or not they do not want you here honey. SMH ??‍♀️

Does she know he wants to get rid of people that have legal status too? I wonder if she'll change her opinion when her citizenship is stripped and she's sent packing ?

She needs to understand that tRump made it nearly impossible to gain citizenship legally. He enacted countless immigration laws that only added to the red tape in the already underfunded and inundated immigration courts.

This woman came here legally; if they came here illegally, they broke the law and should be sent back to their country and do it the legal way. There is a population of Americans that are just as lawless as the elites. This woman is absolutely correct; do it the right way by following the law period!

You're a despicable human being to sow discord with your family over a man who will not protect your legal status but will deport your azz even though you're here legally.

She doesn't realize Trump doesn't care she's here legally. He wants to deport anyone not born here.

I think it’s important to note that her choice of words implies a greater issue than just supporting Trump, lack of empathy. The bulk of people that vote for Trump have two mentalities: “if I had to do it, so do you” and “this doesn’t affect me personally so I don’t care”. It’s bizarre to me that people think we need to take America “back” as if this country isn’t made up of a majority of immigrants. Most of our ancestors did NOT come here legally. America is in dire need of education, not just about elections, but political theory in general. So many people think Socialism = Marxism and immediately write it off as diabolical to even mention. The truth is, more communal ideologies will boost the economy not hinder it. I was worried when Trump won, but now I feel like maybe we need to experience authoritarian regimes like his in order to actually wake up and see how our lack of knowledge and care is running the country into the ground.
