Public opinion has been changed by an aging populace that is in the thrall of Putin/Fox/Newsmax propaganda that makes them xenophobic. The vast majority of Migrants are peaceful, and law abiding, and contrubite greatly to our economy and GDP. When they are gone, you can blame Trumps policy on this, along with his idiotic tarrifs, for the high price of everything. If you dont like 3% inflation now, just you wait.

???IF YOU LIKE ILLEGALS SO MUCH WHY NOT OPEN YOUR OWN HOMES TO HOUSE THEM AND FEED THEM SINCE YOU CARE SO MUCH FOR THEM, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT U.S. CITIZENS THAT ARE HOMELESS IN YOUR OWN BACKYARDS EATING OUT OF CITY TRASH CANS, HOW ABOUT GIVE ILLEGALS MORE SNAP BENEFITS AND MORE MONEY DEBIT CARDS SO THAT THEY CAN SHOP AT WALMART ON A DAILY BASIS AND GIVE THEM FREE HOUSING AND 2 OR 3 SQUARE MEALS A DAY AND FREE TRANSPORTATION AND FREE MEDICAL. HOW MUCH BETTER CAN IT GET TO BE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN HERE IN AMERICA2024A.D.??? ITS BETTER TO BE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN THAN A U.S. CITIZEN-WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THAT AMERICA. ???I HOPE MR. TRUMP FIXES THE DAMN MESS. SO MUCH STUPIDITY2024A.D.???ITS =REDICULOUS

Not the DOD's problem, not even their damn remit.\n\nTrump is an active threat to the US constitution, and to defend the constitution against all threats foreign and domestic, that is the remit of the US Armed Forces.\n\nThe greatest irony here is that it may become necessary for the Joint Armed Services to stage a coup-like action to prevent a self-coup by the Trump administration.\n\nAnd yeah, some of y'all may want to read about what a self-coup is.

Immigrants are not the threat to America. Billionaires like Trump and Elon Musk are threats to America.

Our military today is a high-technology force with career professional officers and enlisted personnel. The U.S. military exists to defend the country in war or prepare for war against foreign threats. Trump could quickly hollow out the military as career experts leave. The military does not exist for civilian police functions. It is illegal and unconstitutional for the U.S. military to arrest civilians or enforce immigration laws. The American military is apolitical. No one swears an oath to any political leader but only to our Constitution. Mass deportations of undocumented people living in the United States won't be done with the help of the Army, National Guard, or other military services. The U.S. military does not have to follow illegal or unconstitutional orders. Military officers do not want to engage in civilian police functions or enforce immigration laws. Trump firing military officers would hollow out the military, likely destroying our readiness to fight future wars.

Small correction - After more votes have been counted it looks like Trump will not win a majority of the popular vote, it is down to 50.00% with still more votes to be added, and you should wait until all votes have finished being counted before stating that he won a majority of the popular vote.\n\n\nAlso I hope the other commenters realise that almost all people crossing the southern boarder are legal migrants claiming asylum legally. Anyone walking up to the US and claiming asylum legally must have their case judged and are legally allowed to remain in the US whilst that happens.

A billionaire like Trump will never reduce immigration, he just wants to silence immigrants to make it easier to exploit them

I don’t get why Europeans don’t get how this would be done. \nTHERE WILL BE NO DETENTION CENTERS. Meaning what Trump is tryna say , they will literally pick these people up. And drop them off at the border. Will human rights activists go to court over this? Probably. However, With almost all the Supreme Court appointees being republican, this seems like the method that would be used. It will most likely get a pass.

20 billion is nothing compared to the costs these migrants bring to their communities, Germany alone spends something like 100 billion on refugees and economic migrants, that's not even counting the crimes and lost wages on citizens, as well as healthcare costs and housing costs.\n\nin the USA the numbers are even higher and have been going up for decades.\n\nas for the law, the law is the law, it's simply not being enforced, if the US government simply continues to ignore it's own laws, it will create doubt in the legitimacy of the government itself, Trump was elected on this very platform and has a majority in most institutions of the US government.\n\nhell if the civil service sector won't work, they should be fired and if that takes too long Trump could set a presidential act to form militias or use the national guard to do it for him.

You forget, the president is now immune from illegal acts.\nThis will likely cause the collapse of America, like Roman Republic it's these checks to power that prolonged the system's stability.\nIf Trump removes the barriers to his power he will accelerate Anacyclosis.

Every major US city is struggling to budget for illegal immigrants. This is why trump has done so well in cities, poorer Americans find themselves in direct competition with illegal immigrants for government resources. If you looked at figures like the number of encounters at the southern border and the amount spent on illegal immigrants this would make it obvious why Americans are upset. Instead you just paint poor Americans as xenophobic and don't even give that view a fair representation. Classic elitist bias.

Like all things trump, it is gonna be an incompetent mess.

The fact that Trump along with the Republican Party blocked a bill which would have dramatically reduced immigration just so they can pretend like the Democrats weren't doing anything and stir up even more drama about is very telling.

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.

Canadians should not be surprised if Americans under President Trump decide to force Canadians to get visas for future travels. \n\nCanadian generous refugee policy has allowed millions of criminals/terrorists into the country and most of them once they obtain the Canadian passport aim to move to US and Americans are aware of this scam. Canada also has many who would like to harm North America due to their affiliation with terror organizations. It’s not going to be easy for Canadians who plan to visit US.

I worked with a woman like this. Nobody in her family likes her, including her daughter and she doesn’t understand why. And she was like this before Trump was even in office. Some people are just sad.

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.

Look at those flags, hats, shirts, etc, pretty right? Hell, NO. THOSE ARE THE SAME IDIOTS WHO CAN'T AFFORD EGGS ! Look at the beer bellies. Can't afford milk but can buy beer, right? My taxes go to help pay for your health care. Why do you need it since you don't give a damn about your health to begin with! Oh yea, like trumps non-existent exercise program, the body's strength only has a finite limit it can handle.

Mexico will close their border on Jan. 20 2025. Canada should like wise. Trump might have a problem with those illegals that have guns and will be fight to stay in the US. Either way it makes great news.

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.

In his first term, Trump initiated plans to denaturalize people like her and will ramp up that effort in a second term. I would LMAO if he started with her.

It astonishes me just how F-ing stupid Trump voters can be !!! This DA woman thinks she is SAFE !!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!! Your Orange Jesus CLEARLY said that ALL…..ALL ….. ALL Hispanics are on the deportation list !!!! EVEN IF YOU ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS NOW ! Can’t wait to see her MAGA YEARS when she is in the line to be sent back !!! And does she have birthright children and grandchildren ?????? Looks like they may be on the list ???? ??? !!! He is getting ready to try to remove that that birthright citizenship clause too if he can ! But now that he will have total control on EVERY part of the government , like the song say …. “ Ain’t no stopping him now” !!!!!

Wow, who needs enemies with someone like her in your family! Doesn't care if anyone in her family are deported.. No wonder they don't talk to her because she voted for Trump.. I would laugh if they found a 'problem' with her citizenship & deported her too! Karma ?

This woman and Latinos like here are delusional. For MAGA, it is not really about how they got here, right or wrong, it is simply about “numbers”. They don’t understand that Donald Trump. Steven Miller, Elon Musk, and MAGA, wants to see LESS PEOPLE WHO LOOKS LIKE HER ! \n\nTHEY WANT YOU “GONE” !

Every country doesn’t have the PM like Trump. ??‍♀️??‍♀️

aged like milk- latino voted 42% for Trump. They aren't stupid- without a border we have no country.

Vacations once or twice a year? I definitely need to know this Canada you're talking about. I live here for 14 years and I never had that privilege... and like millions of qualified immigrants, I spend a lot of money and effort and life to come to this place that was never home. On the top, you're right. There's all this poverty going on like you're describing, but there's so much more than that... and it's going to get really worst after Trump gets back, next January. Oh yeah...

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...

She's going to regret voting for Trump before it's over with. When those tariffs go into affect and she like the rest of us have to pay more for every day goods.

SHE IS SO STUPID AND SO FULL OF SELF HATRED! AND THE HYPOCRISY FOR ME IS BEYOND ME YOUR NOT A MEXICAN AMERICAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A GREEN CARD! SO NOW SINCE YOU HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDENCY YOU THINK THAT YOUR BETTER THAN THE OTHER MEXICANS AND OTHER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! YOU KNOW WHATS IT’S LIKE TO BE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT BUT NOW YOU WANT TO SEND THEM BACK BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENCY DUMMY YOUR JUST FULL OF SELF HATRED! ALL OF YOU TRUMP VOTERS ARE GOING TO REGRET IT ESPECIALLY THE LATINO VOTERS THAT VOTED FOR THE DUMB CONVICTED FELON! ALL ARE A BUNCH OF SELF HATRED DUMMIES!

Trump likes to kill and torture Christians and their families on the border.

Perfect example of a Latino Trump\nSupporter!! They think they’re white. She said she was born in Mexico but thinks she Mexican American! Not.. lady you are 100% Mexican and if Trump wants he will deport your ass too just like your relatives!

the MAGAS are composed of SOCIOPATHS totally lacking in EMPATHY, MORALS and ETHICS just like Trump.\nand since she is NOT a White European, those people around her, Trump and Elon etc do NOT think of her as ONE OF THEM

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!!

No Trump is coming in, how comes Canada pretty much all of a sudden acts like this about mirgrants? Could be very different story if Harris won. Is it fear?

I don't think Trudeau and Trump feel the same way about each other as they did 7 years ago. Seven years ago was a different energy and now its a new energy between them. I also don't think it's nice that people run away from a citizen of their country that was newly elected as President. Donald Trump is human with feelings. We shouldn't do unkind acts towards him. Running to a different country to show President Donald Trump you don't like him is a HUGE act of unkindness that everyone sees.

She's obviously have been brainwashed to believe the false narrative that's spewed by Trump. She doesn't even realize that the overwhelming majority of immigrants come here authorized just like she did. She also don't realize that he's not just going after immigrants who are here unauthorized but authorized as well. When she's profiled based on what she looks like and is shipped to the border to get deported despite being here authorized, she'll regret these words.

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.

She ain’t American trump looks at her like the Help! How do you turn on your family and race for Hitler 4.0! Dang idiots she needs to be deported! God said love our neighbor! All these religious folks being racist and inhumane! God should destroy there homes and let’s see how fast Cheese head help them!! Talking about she Mexican American HA! What a joke!

Fix the wall first because we send them back and they are right back over here again. It sounds like Trump administration is going to be tied up with court with the Supreme Court having the final say and Trump wins.

I like what he say indocumented oropel pay in taxes 97 . Billón dólar a year waoo como te quedó el ojo mister Trump i tu vas a sacar sacar a estas personas estás loco tu i todos los que te dieron el voto ahora que se vayan todos ellos son campo a pizcar tomate lechugas chiles campana aver quien va lo que veo es un colapso en el economía americana Dios les bendiga

Anyone that doesn't like trump?We want you out of the country anyway, so just leave

I'm Latino from Texas that voted for Trump and I'm not ok with this approach of deporting people that have been in the US for 15-30yrs. I'm here because of Ronald Reagan, went to college have been contributing over half a million a year and paying taxes and my family have never asked for any money from the US. There are many like myself that have family members that will continue to contribute to the US.

One minute Trump is disrespecting My people calling them out of their name but yet want their vote and she said that Trump needs to take her country back is she serious she don't have a CLUE IN WHAT TRUMP IS GETTING READY TO DO TO THE BLACK HISPANCIS AND NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE REPRESENT THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL WE ARE THE TRUE ISRAELITES FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. I PRAY THE MOST HIGH WILL OPEN HER EYES AND SHE SEE'S THE TRUTH BECAUSE THIS UNITED STATES HAVE BEEN BUILT OF OF LIES AND DECEPTIONS AND THIEVERY BUT YET IN STILL THEY HAD THE NERVES TO SAY THE BLACK HISPANCIS AND THE NATIVE AMERICAN ARE LAZY WE NEVER BEEN LAZY WE WORKED COMING OUT THE WOMB IT THE WHITE MAN THAT DIDN'T WORK BUT STOLEN EVERYTHING HE COULD GET HIS HANDS ON AND CLAIMED IT WAS HIS MY PEOPLE NEVER BEEN LAZY LIKE THE WHITE MAN AND I WILL STAND 10 TOES DOWN ON THAT WE ARE THE ONE THAT INVENTED THINGS AND THEY TOOK THE CREDIT FOR IT AND STOLEN IT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY THEY THINK EVERYTHING HOLD A PRICE TAG BUT GETTING INTO HEAVEN IS NOT ONE THREY ARE NOT WELCOME INTO THE KINGDOM BUT EXCEPT COMING IN AS SLAVES THE LOWEST OF THE LOW

Why not ask Trump to spend a couple days to work on these farms that requires manual work like picking vegetables, I bet that he wouldn't last an hour, and the majority of the American people don't want to do that back breaking work for little pay, so if he reports all these illegal immigrants whats going to happen? I don't think there is a bigger fool in America than shit for brains DONALD TRUMP.

once they deport millions of illegal immigrants, I hope that she, Donald Trump and all of his followers are willing to do all of the undesirable jobs that pay next to nothing that they leave behind. I wonder how good are her apple picking skills in scorching heat. Or maybe working in a sweatshop 16 hours a day with no air conditioning would be more to her liking. those geniuses don't have a clue about what they voted for.

Proud dual citizen Canadian here. Love the country, people and culture. However, the Liberal politics of the last 9 years have been a disaster, from high inflation, uncontrolled immigration, lack of pro business investments, homelessness, housing… this is to list just a few issues. The same thing has been happening in the US and Western Europe. Thank you God for helping elect Donald Trump. Many on this forum may not like the guy, but he was before, and will be good for the country, economy, overall people of the US and indirectly Canada. The Trudeau gang must go, a monkey could do a better job governing this beautiful Canada than that moron Trudeau. Do you all remember him saying…. “ the budget will balance itself”…. WTF… Really Justin???

Trump would send her back to Mexico in a heartbeat all he wanted was that dumb ass’ vote. She is one of those ignorant or even stupid people who dismissed all off trump’s criminal charges. The border czar would deport her ass like lightning.

Trump send them home..there is NO place like home....

If this is what it takes to teach these people who voted against their own friends and families, so be it. I have lost all sympathy for the right wing. They went full religiously driven nutty with an obsession with believing every little crazy story and never looked back. Every person I meet that give me cooky vibes or talks about Jesus or some sort of outdated fucked up thing is a Trumper and nothing will change their minds. Everyone now has at least one relative who, on the surface, would appear to be a perfectly logical person but ask them to justify why they love Trump so much and they give you some totally wacky fact or false claim about some sort of random thing in our world like social security or trans people or immigration and cant seem to wrap their minds around the idea that it isn't true and that those claims are being used to manipulate them.
