They keep talking about losing a huge part of the workforce with mass deportations. So Americans aren’t looking for work? I’ve worked for Amazon for 3 and a half years now. I transferred from Va back home to ny last October. In va Americans are being hired. In ny Amazon is literally hiring nothing but Haitians. We hire a hundred and twenty people every year between July and January for prime and peek. I promise you without any iota of exaggeration, every last new hire is Haitian. I know of plenty of ppl who have applied to no avail. They really need to say if you’re American don’t apply. They get tax credits for hiring them. And because of this they do little to no work because they know nothing will happen to them. So all of the work falls on us . Out of the 120 new hires this year and last year 115 are under 27. They try to alienate us , intimidate us,and are extremely rude to anyone who isn’t Haitian. These are young people who are on straight gang time. I’m a black man telling you this and I’m from the street. It took me 6 years to finally make 20 dollars an hr, they come right over making the same as me while I’m working harder to accommodate their lack of productivity and at the same time hope I don’t lose my job for standing up to their rudeness and intimidation tactics. But the media will have ppl convinced that these are hard working meek and humble ppl just trying to make a better life for them and their families. I’m 45 years old and every year of my life we have always had a block party every summers end . For the last three years none. Because my neighborhood has been inundated with migrants who don’t care to assimilate.

I pledge alegence to the flag of the United States of America.\nAnd to the republic for which it stands \nOne nation under God \nIndivisible \nWith liberty and justice for SOME.\nYou're not his kind lady, he'll snatch your green card and deport you as well, you fell for the banana in the tailpipe.

You’re not Mexican American lady! You were born in Mexico. You are Mexican. That’s how you are listed on government documents. She doesn’t realize that they will never see her as a true American. She’s an embarrassment to the culture. I say this as true Mexican American with love for my people regardless of legal status. There wasn’t ever an actual line where you stand and wait. She’s a freaking liar. Bruja!

What kind of a human being is this? Your own very family? What's this hatred all about? That heart must be really dark indeed! People circumstances are DIFFERENT. Not everyone will have the luxury, the time, the money, the health etc to stand hours on a line and wait (for GOD knows when or afford to pay) in order to come in legally. Are we not all human beings? There ought to be a place for empathy, mercy, understanding and tolerance for the weak and less misfortune in life. I'm deeply sadden by the old woman's words.

When you break the law and disown your family members for upholding the law! \n\nThis lady is so sweet and soft-spoken yet so TOUGH with her attitude! I have so much respect for her being so honest and respectful of what our country stands for!!! We need more people like her. \n\nShe should report these losers in her family to ICE then! They’ve already drained too much from our country, it’s time to stop their milking our hard-earned money!!!! \n\nIf not, Mr. Homan and Mr. Miller will get it done! ??????????????

Clearly the this comment section is full of the dumbest people.\n\nAll virtue-signaling and talking about how this woman is an evil person because she's standing for what it RIGHT, at the expense of her own personal interests.\n\nAs though that's not of far greater virtue than being in favour of the illegal immigration crisis that has caused ACTUAL, tremendous harm to the country.\n\nThankfully most Americans are much smarter than you clueless folks, so there's some hope.

I wouldn't talk to u either, she is really hating on her own people because they didnt have as hard of a time getting here as she did. So since they didn't stand in line she wants them to go back so they could stand in line for days too.

This kind of person wants to stand out amongst her family that she is better than they. They are born with loose screws hence the blood disconnect. Sad!

She might be standing on a line again, alongside those angry family members..that will be a sad day, of course. This political campaign has divided.. The question is, will it conquer?

she’s a liar. ?? what line did she stand at for hours? people like her make stuff up for no reason. she’s a hater & of her own kind. that’s sad and crazzzy

This dude is not smart, he blind, mandate is mandate?. No, stupid, all big scale action has balance disruption of the system.. Of course, deport criminal is priority, they are prejudice to economy and well being of society. Take immigrants that work in farmer for example, and other fields that supply necessity to population. How farmers will deliver products if they dont have workers? How the business will survive? How will people that need good have them? Farmers will get nuts, nobody to harvest their products, who will do the job? Oh! Get all those brainless senators for work in sectors of emergency. IT will affect the common people that need basic goods. The business people will lose income because their products will perish before consumers can have them. They need hire other people that will impose different price in services, for high demand, cant enforce to pay. In some point they have fill up for bankrupt. Population will be lack of basic. Anybody of common sense, analyze all that effect. No one those senators are able to answers the questions she put for them. ( They just said stupid words, We won majority , people voted in us) but morons, you will make a mess, in months all medeo/small business owners would stand up) Just imagine that.

Why is she still a MEXICAN American?\nMAGA doesn't stand for Make Mexico.....\nTrump folks hate hyphenated people. \nShe needs to tighten up her act if she's going to survive the next 4 years.

I can’t stand her, she is so bios !

Trumps wife didn’t stand in no line… and she probably isn’t here legally.

I am so proud of her for standing up for what's right.

I am a double hater cant stand Trump and I am a farmer, i dont use immigrants because i just grow crops that can be mechanically harvested and I have a small farm, But in the past I used to manage large farms where we had a lot of immigrants most were illegal and people don't understand why they're illegal It's because there is an arbitrary cap on how many migrants can come from Guatemala and Mexico if they wanted to come legally just a normal worker They have a 60-year waiting list so it's just impossible to come here legally. Most of these people are very hardworking good people that come here to work for 5 to 7 years save up money and then go back to Mexico or Guatemala build a house and start a business in their own country. \n\nThis year i begrudgingly voted for trump because for me the biggest issue is with the federal and state regulations that make farming much harder than it needs to be especially regulations on diesel engine emissions that cost me tens of thousands of dollars a year and many months of not being able to use my equipment that I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on. And Kamala was the one who enforced the CARB emmisions standards that diesel engine manufactures have to comply with to sell into California which is the biggest consumer of these engines. \n\nLike right now I have my pickup truck that's been down for 6 months because of emissions problems and so many of the vehicles have emissions problems that the parts to fix it don't even have an ETA because they need to fix so many trucks and I have two other tractors broke down that I can't use all my friends that are farmers have a lot more and dems want to significantly increase emmisions standards in 2026. \n\nYou simply can't grow food at scale without reliable diesel engines There is no alternative The vast majority of food is planted and harvested mechanically in the US The bigger issue with food is not well illegals get deported It is will the diesel engines run to harvest 90% of the calories in plant them. \n\nWe have robots that can milk the cows most of the things that migrants harvest can be harvested mechanically and they are in other parts of the world It's just cheaper to do it with labor once that's not the case it will be mechanized. I would prefer to keep migrants here but give them legal working status if they have productive jobs and they pay tax.

I bet she came here illegally too. Nobody stands in line and gets a green card. ?

I am proud of her to stand for the right way.

SUCH D--B A--ES!! WTF SHE HAS A MENTAL F'N PROBLEM. SHE DRANK THE KOOLAID AND SHE'S GOING TO BE SHOCKED WHEN HE THROWS HER ASS AND OTHER MEXICANS IN THE SAME TRASH BARREL HE'S PLANNING ON THROWING EVERYONE ELSE IN. TRUMP CANNOT STAND HISPANICS, BLACKS, ASIANS, ETC. HE'S EVIL AND DOES NOT CARE FOR ANYONE THAT CAN'T SERVE HIS PURPOSES. LOOK FOR IT YOU FOOLISH WOMAN HE'S COMING FOR YOU. I DON'T BLAME YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO CAN'T STAND YOUR KOOL AID DRINKING ASS.

Canadians stand guard at our borders.

Well I will say she is brave and honest. And she is a TRUE American. Regardless of what Trump wants, she’s standing on game! And I’m not going to mistreat every Hispanic I see because I know how it feels to be grouped in and stereotyped, trust me. Also no one’s getting deported..

Most republicans are lying to their supporters because we in reality need workers to work the farms since no americans is willing to do those back breaking jobs. I dont blame them because they dont pay enough and there is not benefits other than the pay you receive. Fk marco rubio. A hypocrite garbage who does not have a spine that he can not stand on his own just like Lindsye graham, they are both useless. I think people dont realize that those people that are here illigally it would be better for the government to issue work visas so they can track them and collect taxes. I understand that there is a lot of people that take advantage of the system and they should be pay for abusing the system.I did not vote for trump and i would not vote for him even if i was having a nightmare because we know who he is and stands for.

God has the final answer. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

Trump wouldn't be president without CNN, they never stand up to the lies!

Okay. Want to send them and their kids back to Mexico and such? Fix the cartel problem the US has created first and then you'll have a leg to stand on. You don't get to create the problem and then pretend you're not responsible for fixing it.

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?

You don’t “stand in line for hours and days” to get a green card. You have a sponsor apply for a visa, wait until you are called for a visa interview. When that gets approved, you come to the US on a flight. Then when eligible, your sponsor files an adjustment of status. That requires another interview, which you are notified of time and date. When that gets approved, your green card can be issued. The green card is then mailed. The process takes years.

You know what the R stands for before a politicians name? Racist or Rapist take your pick.

Native Americans stand up and take your country back from these greedy people who stole it in the first place

EXACTLY WHY AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE SENDING TRUMP BACK...........THE AMERICAN STREETES ARE AMERICANS STREETS.....WE SENT TRUMP TO SAVE AMERICAN CHILDRENS DREAMS AND FUTURES...............YOUR KIDDING YORSELVES IF YOU THINK ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN..........................THEY ARE GOING TO BE REMOVED BOTTOM LINE............SANDWEG IS NO TRUMP HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING HE IS STILL ACTING LIKE ITS 2023 AND DEMS HAVE A WAY TO STOP IT AFTER THE MANDATE WE SENT TRUMP WITH..............THIS GUY THINKS THE GAME IS STILL THE SAME.............ITS A TOTALY NEW TRUMP ERA WITH 3/4 OF AMERICA STANDING BEHIND HIM..........DEMS FIGHT THIS THEY WILL LOSE NEXT ELECTION CYCLE BY SAME LANDSLIDE TRUMP JUST WON WITH................TRUMP WON WITH MAGA AND 2/3 EX-DEMS BACKING TO STOP THE INVATION AND REMOVE ILLEGALS........YOUR NOT ONLY FIGHTING TRUMP THIS TIME BUT AMERICAN CITIZENS ALSO.............................MAGA RULES THE FOOLS

The ones most urgently running away are the ones with a spotty past and they know they will not stand a chance and would be deported. Canada can't allow these individuals to be here either and must deport those with criminal records.

THE NEED TO BE DEPORTED WE AS CANADIAN NEED STAND AND PROTEST THE I WANT ALL OUT OF MY COUNTRY ASAP AND CLOSE THE DOOR

She keeps standing up for these farmers and business to pay illegals slave wages. Also, once we can get a count proper and the illegal immigrantion under control, would that just incetivise work visas anyways? Her point is useless.

What is wrong with deportation of immigrants that didn't want to stand in line and seek asylum legally

Democrats, if you're watching this don't be offended. Rather, learn from it. You may not agree with these people's opinions but this is what the majority of Americans think and that's why Trump won. They don't care about the insults that Trump keeps spitting out. They care about their own self-interests. Also, here's what Stephen A. Smith said: Immigrants who came here legally don't support illegal immigrants. Imagine yourself standing in line for an hour to ride your favorite ride at a theme park, only to have a group of people cut in front of you without waiting. You would be outraged wouldn't you? I would and this is how they feel. Bottom line: the majority wants a stronger border. America may be a country of immigrants, but now is not the time to take in more immigrants especially if they're here illegally. We are struggling; we can't afford to help outsiders at this time. It's time to help ourselves out before we help others. It's not selfish. The truth is, how useful can we be to others if we ourselves are bleeding?

What part she's are not under standing he said he's going to do a massive deportation including her and her family and friends

She suffered so much standing in line for days...?

She talks like a child...can't stand her...

I cant stand trump voice

OMG, no housing no health care inflation is insane for Canadians. We do do not want or have room for any more so called migrants. They came by choice, send them packing. We can not and will not accept this. We as Canadians agree we can't afford 1 more, let alone thousands and thousands. We are not in a position to help even if they were truly in need of help and not just free handouts. This Government needs to stand up for the people who elected them. Trust me you will never get my vote again. Call an election and put an end to this madness.

A Call to Unity Against Intolerance\n\nWe stand at a critical juncture in our nation's history. The incoming administration presents a unique challenge, one that demands a united front from all marginalized groups. A narcissist's playbook is well-known: isolation, manipulation, and a disregard for the needs of others. We cannot afford to be divided and fall victim to these tactics. \n\n\nOur Strength Lies in Unity\n\nTo counter this threat, we must prioritize community building. We must forge strong bonds across diverse groups, recognizing our shared experiences of marginalization and discrimination. A Shared Goal: Ending Intolerance While we may have different specific goals and agendas, we are united by a common purpose: to eradicate intolerance in all its forms. By marching together, we demonstrate the power of a diverse coalition committed to equality, justice, and human rights.  \n\n\nThe Inevitable Awakening\n\nAs the true nature of the incoming administration becomes increasingly apparent, we must be prepared to support one another. We will build a resilient network to guide our nation through the darkness and emerge stronger than ever. We need a coalition so strong that we can band together and bring power to our government that acts in the people's best interests.\n\n\nOur Time to Act\n\nThe time for passive resistance is over. It's time to take decisive action. Join a group or 2 fighting for your rights and stand with us Together, we will be the beacon of hope, love, and truth that pierces through the lies. This is more than just one March this is a movement and are marching orders are clear. We must stop intolerance by showing we are stronger together: our rights, our fight. Jan 18th is the People's March and the movement begins. Please share these words. Let us  build the movement.

You lost contact with your family over trump so sad family is forever trump will never stand behind you

The latino community voted overwhelmingly to have their families torn apart. Who are you to stand in their way?

U.K. should now distance itself from this nasty facist government. We need to be back in the EU to create a trading block powerful enough to stand up to this nasty administration. Let’s hope Trump doesn’t wreck the US too much before he dies or is unelected.

Impact who gives a darn about an impact?Trump can achieve anything and real Americans that Love this country stand behind him

Absolutely delusional. Keep them all out. We are sinking as it is, even the Liberals admitted to oulling in too many people too fast, and niw they're entertaining the idea of 100,000's to millions if unvetted illegals? \n\nEnough is enough. We need to stand for ourselves here.

Listen up Liberals, this is why Repubs win. Because Repubs take action. Dems and Biden just stand there and poop their pants.

American is standing up to save the country

For the law to have authenticity it must be carried out to the letter of the law. No exceptions. We are a society, sympathetic to the woes of others, but must stand firm in our beliefs and reapect for the rulw of law. Men, women, children. There can be no differentiation unless the law were to change.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't too many people who will work replacing roofs and other dangerous jobs for ten dollars an hour. But apparently the republicans have good supply of people standing by.
