Deport them and bring them in legally. It’s not that hard. Should cost less than 10% of the amount Joe Biden Gave to Ukraine.

Dana Bash, you continue to be foolish. Stop that nonsensical questioning. They broke the law -- our law. They have to go back to their own country and deal with it LEGALLY.

He said they have to come back in legally.. some of them came in legally to begin with.. and the ones who voted for him… well I hope you’re happy, cause you voted for denaturalization of citizens

does dana listen to herself arguing that deporting illegals will hurt businesses maybe somebody should deport her!!! This is america if you dont come legally get out plain and simple!!! Like why is this even a discussion fact is illegals broke the law sneaking into our country and they need to go

If the priority is the safety of Americans then the focus has to be on dangerous criminals like the felon who ordered the kidnapping of refugee children and launched a months long coup attempt that involved lies, threats, fake electors, calls to assassinate Pence and attacks on the Capitol police.... Illegal is what the crime boss Don Trump has been but the Republican majority on the Supreme Court recently concluded despots cannot be prosecuted for crimes called official acts, echoing Chief Justice Taney's opinion that Americans had no rights rulers were legally bound to respect.

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.

You can be here legally and work

Just come in the legal way unless you gotta criminal background

Donald Trump is not going to deport any illegals. That was the selling strategy to get your vote. Donald Trump want illegals here he knows that America’s do not hold the economy. The economy is built off immigrants cause they will do it for cheap bettering the country bettering taxes and benefiting the country more Americans want too much for doing labor. He knows that illegal immigrants will do it for nothing notice how Trump always says we need to get the illegals out of here we want them to come in legally is because he knows that illegal immigrants benefit this country. He just wanted your vote?????

It’s funny how this punks say that all illegals need to get kicked out from America as if they’re the owners of America ?? last time i checked the only legal ones that could stay here are the indians that owns America and they don’t even say anything.

She Asked him how do you do it. And his answer is I don’t think it’s that complicated. I think they may end up sending legal immigrants back to their original homelands and that would be a crime. I mean look what they did to all those illegal immigrant children when they separated them from their families and too many of them just went missing. Did you people really forget about that? Of course you did since they weren’t your children you selfish a***s.

Applying to come the right way would be impossible for her family. Once you’ve been in the US illegally you forsake legal immigration for the rest of your life. This woman is ignorantly of what the law allows. She’s heartless. But these are Trump supporters for you.

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

Some people in their countries apply to come in legal. Pay money to USA immigration and they still refuse to give them a visa to visit It’s not as easy as she thinks.

Legal Latinos MAGA????

I met somebody that is here legally and got all papers but he’s not a citizen and got a criminal record. Is he in any danger?

This is great if it happens cause like he said come in legally, not illegally ? ? ? ?…

?????✊?✊?✊???????Bravo!!!!!That’s the truth of real American!!!!illegal should go home and come legally to our Country ,like everybody …who came to America !!!!✊?✊?✊???????

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.

My family eould agree! My family both sides emigrated legally! With no help from government.

Its sad, these people worked so hard to get here legally, just to watch people come in for free and get thousands and thousands of dollars. Its a slap in the face to them and all other tax paying Americans.

He didn't say legal, he said ILLEGAL immigrants. But I don't know who they think are going to take those underpaid slave-wage jobs? I guess everything will have to become automated. But the grocery prices will definitely not come down.

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 ??

Why do these people think that America can't have workers come in legally??

As American citizen I move to Thailand 5 years ago, I legally came into this country, I have to report every 3 months to immigration, I have to show document that I have proof of income, I have to have sufficient income to live here, if not they would kick me out! There's no handouts here in Thailand, there's no crime, no racial tension! why a AMERICA can't do the same?

Yes, illegal immigrant is an actual legal term. The fact that CNN and MSNBC will not use that term and yell at people for using that term is very telling.

But they came to America illegally. They shouldn't have come to the land like that in the first place. It was clear, people should come to a country legally. They were just used as pawns by the Democrats to gain votes. Poland was right. Most of them just cause trouble.

She has no idea what’s really going to happen. Trump’s likely to ignore the existing laws and remove legal Hispanic immigrants or make it very very difficult for them to remain here. \n\nHe’s going to escalate existing ethnic bigotry, among a host of other divisive tactics, and she’ll see—along with other Latinos who voted for him, what’s she really voted for.\n\nThere are ways to handle this humanely, but think of how a certain German, his idol—per Ivana, his first wife—handled his power, and you’ll get some idea of how bad this can, and very likely will, really get. \n\nThe only possible saving grace may be his early signs of dementia, but he’s putting in place a group of likeminded friends, so not a good time to be different in the US.

Deportation is a good sign that the United States has laws, if you want to become a US citizen, you have to go through legally, it does not burden taxpayer citizens.

Dana, if they are here on a Visa they are here legally they are not undocumented. Will you please correct yourself?.

If you did not come into our country the legal way, it doesn't matter what they have done since they've been here. They do not have the right to be here! They should have spent their time here working on becoming a legal citizen!!!

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.

The sad thing they may target legal and illegal Hispanics!,they are not the only illegal immigrants here!\nAlso legal people will be targeted and harassed!,at my work place a visitor told a house keeper stop coming across the border!

I know lots of people here on work visas legally that need jobs. They shouldn’t be cheated by those skipping the visa process!

Good. Even the immigrants who came here LEGALLY want this to happen. I imagine they feel cheated by the system as much as everyone else does. Is CNN ever going to shape up?

Look at this woman's face as she's asking the question about deporting legal immigrants as if it's some sort of a terrible thing to do .............. I just can't believe it's a taboo issue, this is exactly why the Democrats lost massively this election cycle

Trump said that he will definitely deport every legal and illegal immigrants his first day in office especially those who are eating cats and dogs ????

Legal immigration is important but the answer is to help legalize people who are already here, not deport them. Tf.

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

The American people have spoken get EVERY illegal out of this country ASAP then when we get our house in order and put AMERICANS FIRST we can start accepting LEGAL immigrants it’s very simple

I give it two weeks after they actually begin before we get reporting that they have deported a legal resident (3 days for it to happen, and the rest is for discovery and reporting).\nI give it one month tops before we find out they have deported actual citizens. I kind of hope I'm one to be honest. I'd love to reap the benefits of that lawsuit.

You Latinos who voted for Trump and think your safe. Think again, just cause you were born here doesnt mean everyone in your family was and are here legally. Triump has already said he will strip your citizenship away and send you back with them.

and then we'll start working on the legal ones

Legally ❤ Trump make America ?? Great Again❤

I'm an immigrant, and here is my opinion: If something is illegal, then it should be prevented and fixed. If someone breaks the law, there must be consequences. If you don't like it and you want undocumented or illegal immigrants for any reason like economy or humanity, then change the law. But the law should always be abided by and enforced. You make a legal procedure and admit immigrants based on the needs of the country and the applicants' merits. And of course, some percentage for the refugees whose life is in danger.

He kept screaming about the Haitians in Ohio…who were all there legally btw on work permits!! They need to be left alone!! They have gone through enough hell caused by his ridiculous lies “about the pets”!! Which has and had been debunked already btw!!

Some illegals been 10 years and think they are legal because they been here so long.

Listen, if a squirrel is removed for being illegal, and that squirrel is adding abundant joy, it was still murdered. So an illegal immigrant who is a nice neighbor adding something to the community, is still illegal. It’s insulting to legal immigrants who have done the entire process and cost and earned it.

I support legally immigrants. But illegal immigrants need to be deported immediately.
