5:00 Jim, sometimes I am ready to take a $hit when I sit ... doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

Undocumented workers paid 96 billion dollars into Social Security and Medicare through the INT. They are not eligible to collect from those programs but there work help sustains them. They do work Americans do not want to do. Hotels hire them, farmers hire them, meat packing plants hire them, construction companies hire them. Removing them will be a disaster. Banks says the American people have spoken for it, I didn't. Only 51 percent of uneducated voters for Trump wanted it. We Democrats understand they are needed here. Republicans in the red state on Welfare won't go to work and do the jobs immigrants do. What will happen is Trump will cut the taxes for the rich, raise our taxes and do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other needed social programs like CHIP, Meals on Wheels, School lunch programs etc... America will suffer and end up losing our allies and pulled out of the NATO agreement, which Russia wants us to do. Trump is friends with our enemies. He is a traitor to America and proved it when he stole top secret documents and refused to return them and showed them to people who had no clearance to do so. Dumb Americans voted him in after every warning from generals and all his staff to his own VP said he is not fit to sit in the oval office. Now all of America and our Allies will pay the price.

The day he is sworn in. Every citizen should sit at home, dont watch it on tv, or media! Don't go work, stack up, and dont spend any money. We can crash our own economy!

Amerikkkans wanted fascism. I didn't vote for Trump. I'm going to sit back and watch this shit show.

At this time in history its time for CNN to sit down and shut up. Morons.

Sitting here watching prophecy being fulfilled! The Elders would say, the white man will destroy himself if he believes he is destroying black people!\nLOL, what fools! \nQuestion for Republicans: \nWho are you going to get to do the work of the immigrants you deport? \nHow are you going to replace the spending dollars these immigrants put into the economy?\nGetting popcorn ready!

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

wouldnt have this problem if it wasnt for the two goofs sitting in the whithouse now so suck it up buttercup

Yes the immigrants must GO. They are illegal, some are criminal immigrants and they are killing Americans. The immigrants are draining our resources while Americans or having to do without. We have LAWS on immigration and they MUST be followed. NO exceptions! Our economy is terrible and people are struggling to buy groceries or get Meds. We have poor/middle class people suffering because of the Biden/Harris administration. There will be no assault - ya'll are comical. WE have people here at CNN that don't have clue but yet tell everybody what needs to be done. The bottom line is - Donald Trump is our president and he will make the decision and will handle in a professional manner the illegal immigration problem. Show President Trump some respect. I was raised to respect your elders - what has happened to that? Ya'll sit back watch - don't' worry about immigration and watch a pro git er done. God Bless the USA..........

Give them what they voted for. Black women, I mean black women ,we showed up and did all we could. Let's sit back, adjust our crowns ? let the women who abandon their rights in droves figure things out for themselves. We are on hiatus!

Its not as simple as deporting all illegals, All those who complain about inflation, now get ready for for the unseen/ unsaid issues th at come along with this way of doing things, it is tied into the economy and will have enormous impacts of pricing and manufacturing. If you thought it is inflation and the caused by the last admistration, tou are sadly mistaken. Those who do the job for products and farm the food you eat will now no longer exist, and the americans who do no not want to do those jobs, no have no one to do them, and hence chaos will ensue, just like how majority of american manufacturing....ie Snapon, Briggstraton. Etc has all gone over seas to make the easy money out of greed and now puts blame on china as they knew making pennies on the dollar is profitable, but not realizing the consequences of doing so as you lose control of what American made product and now in the hands of foreign countries to do whatever they want and there is nothing you can do about it, as its happening right now in china with companies as Apple, etc are finding out it may be profitable but comes at a price when you do business on foreign soil and you have just lost control. Those who dont know why the border must have a swinging door which swings both ways, as All companies take advantage of south of the border because of vheap labor and laxed regulation so they can get away with what they can get away on us soil. Now you get someone like chump who has zero tolerance and no political experience run it like a business with out understanding of the consequences that comes with actions done with out beabke to compromise. You all complain about inflation, now get ready in your everyday lives, from manufacturing, to groceries, to dining out, and be prepared to pay alot more because now, no one is going to do thise jobs as the so called americans didnt want to do those jobs, as its always gone unspoken that hey they are doing it, and reeps the fruits of the laborors and could care less until it got out of hand as of today. Look what happen when chump when to tax steel and pork for china, its get s aunforseen blow black that you dont see right away. Same now with border. Now you have a Grossly unfit, Unqualified, W'reckless and dangerous individual who has zero clue/experience about politics on a path of ignorant destruction under the cloat of misguided senses it will fix a major problem that has gone on for decades. Is there a . Is chump qualifed to doa and fix it, absolutely not. It has bees just 4 years, as serious as pandemic, look at how he grossly mishandled the situation. Now get ready for more of the same and worst. Its not about politics, its also about right and wrong, good and bad and be able to compromise those complicated issues for a decent medium. Now it will be a total fuck up and get ready for all sensless nonsenses to take place and be ready for the once great United States to fall into despair. This is what all the voting who'ha was about. Now you get to live it and hope in the 4 years the damage wont be soo extreme that we cant go back and unfuck it. Some very dark times are ahead for this country at the helm of a lunatic. After the 4 years, chump will be 82 and could careless the carnage he left behind, as that the way he is a a person who has been taught to have no empathy and to win at all cost despite the consequences. Now, on the world stage where all look to the US, it will be a sad gloomy time with all madness we are about to enbark. This country needs to1st get off its ass and do the work and stop sitting on their asses to complain about it as they do that so well, so now get ready to lie in the bed youve made. Huh! maga?, watch as the US comes apart and divided under chump. The inflatiin you all complain about is now going to be far worst..and every and anything which is mostly will be affected substantially. You are mad about pricing now, people will now have to worry even more...and it will get out of hand. The crime and thieving will now be even more pronounced. When was the last time you had an American pick and facilitate your groceries, or do the cheap paid jobs?. Now you all have to do this youselves. So if you thought it was bad before you are sure in for a rude awakening...as now you have a sitting president who is not a convicted felon, but one who has been given immunity to consequences and no compromise which is a recipe for disaster

we have a massive army just sitting there doing nothing. They, and all of their supporting equipment, are already paid for so declare Immigrants from 2020 through 2024 a national threat and produce the largest deportation of illegal immigrants. Once identified as such, there is no need for $10K in documenting any further, drive them to the border open the gate, push them through , close the gate. Once 8-10 Million have been deported, close the border completely and don't open it again until congress passes a comprehensive immigration plan to include visa overstays, path to citizenship, stronger penalties from illegal crossings, sponsorship programs and skills base requirements.

It's just a matter of time for Latinos to feel what's coming to them, you voted for him just sit and wait it's coming! Blacks are alone through his term as president, thanks for going against the grain y'all,blacks will be fine through these tuff times we built America ????

We are many people. Why are we allowing this to happen. Why don’t we ourselves stand up against this. You don’t need a president to make this wrong a right. We should not just sit and talk. We need to stand up for what we want and believe in in the name of freedom. If China and other countries can do so can we.

I was working DoorDash making about 300 and something dollars a day I was able to feed my family and pay my rent, then the legal immigrants came. They all had cars. They were all sitting inside of the parking lot waiting for orders and then I started to make about $60 for 12 hours of work I had to leave California and lost my place and could not afford anything!!! How did they get cars? How are they able to work here without proper documentation? Please get them out of here so I can get back to work. None of them could even talk to me and speak English.

And the problem is?? Why is it so hard to get through people's head that there is a percentage of these people coming into this country that intend harm. \n\nImagine just opening the doors of your house to anyone and saying please come in and eat my food and sleep in my bed and sit at my dinner table. 100% OF YOU , will decline. I don't want to hear it. \nThere are people who have come into this country that do not belong. I will not just allow anyone into my house. \n\nPERIOD.

You know what CNN, sit the next 2 years out. Let Trump do whatever, make no comment about it and whatever happens to the economy, our jobs, inflation, housing etc. So be it. Then after it all unfolds, you can do focus groups for all the people who voted for Trump saying how do feel about your vote NOW!!!

She better start talking to them because she might be sitting next to one her family members during deportation ?

A Canadian guy sitting next to me on the airplane said: Half of my family immigrated to Canada and half to the USA. It seems they gave (the US ones) them some pills at the border, bcs now they are all crazy.

They just don’t know that he wants All of them gone! He’ll try to send blacks back to Africa if he could but we’re too deep. The blood of blacks, brown, and yes there were white slaves to who built this country from scratch. Mara log o may be sitting on top of a slave graveyard. Send him back to his European decent. And lady your so crazy wanting to send your own people back when Mexico sold America pieces of their land, so yeah I’m with you do it the right way but don’t downplay your culture for someone who doesn’t give 10 tihs’s about you whether you’re legal or not! ??‍♀️

Other than protesting and sitting outside loafting with your friends and setting up tents everywhere go and volunteer somewhere, make yourself useful!\n\nI'm putting this note here at 11:43 pm Diwali nite. Fireworks are strictly prohibited in Brampton but clearly some of you can't read nor respect bylaws. The whole neighbourhood has to be disrupted this hour because of your ignorance!??

I am a German born, Germany raised second gen immigrant. I am almost 30 now. To this day, I do not feel as part of this country. Why? Constant discrimination, being treated extremely poorly, lower chances at anything really, bullied and abused since infancy. I am very highly educated and skilled throughout various domains and tried to achieve the best I can. If I work in Germany, less skilled people will do everything to sabotage me, due to jealousy. People just waste your energy and time constantly for their own insecurities. I have left some years ago and will never come back. Germany will end itself and I am sitting to watch it!

Why is immigration blamed while government corruption runs rampant? \n \nWe’re sitting on wealth, but idiotic policies hold us back. \n \nImmigrants are exploited, milked for their money, taxed hard as soon as they arrive, and blamed for every problem. \n \nRefugees? They’re handed instant permanent residency with no fees and given allowances—no questions asked!

Because they're sitting around blocking sidewalks with their ebikes.. start sending them home there's no way we can continue to pay for their wellbeing.\n\nThis moron talking about how bringing these beings here somehow stopped a recession? Come on Canada our country is as polluted with shit as the great lakes are

Winter, oh yes, be prepared.\nAt the start of winter add blankets or sleeping bags to your car. Carry extra food and drinks.\nMainly outside of GTA however if you are travelling any major highway, accidents occur where you may sit for several hours. Not common, but it does happen. Or you could slide off the road, more so in the country, and no one can see you from the road.\nA man slid off the road just east of Oshawa. It took a week before a train driver saw the car. He had died.\nAlso carry a couple of flashlights. You may need to assist others. Definitely have snow tires.

This is what started this whole mideast conflict, Israel is sitting on stolen land..this land was not empty land when the zionists self- declared Israel a state in 1948 but this land was occupied by Arabs that the zionist Jew forcibly displaced and killed and made life miserable for any Arab remaining..read quotes by Ben Gurion the first PM of Israel who even admitted that the Arabs should be angry as their land was stolen from them

Terrorist lover Trudeau should consider giving citizenship to Hamas and hisbollah people fleeing after Israel retaliation. They can sit side by side with the turbaned khalistani terrorists in Canadian parliament so that terrorist lover Trudeau can listen to them all the time ?

where is evidence shame india if canada has evidence and if not than shut ur mouth and sit down justin

Terrorists are sitting in the Canadian parliament thanks to this Justdustbin

That first woman is an idiot !!!? When they come for immigrants and she is screaming I am an American she will sit there and wonder why she will living the rest of her life in Mexico! \n\nWAKE UP!!!

Please extradite the 26+ people wanted by India. Why has the RCMP and Canadian Govt. been sitting on that request without any action? This govt. took no action and is now conveniently shifting the blame. You'll probably get cooperation from the Indian govt. if you take the hate speech occurring on our soil here in Canada more seriously!

Just sit in your golden RR and enjoy your life..

I am Indian also, living abroad! I am pleased to hear journalist asking valid questions! Because they are not students but blackmailers!!! I came as a student, if I had not found a job after graduation, I would have gone back as well! If they were not sitting here but upskilling themselves they were not in the situation!!!

Every Punjabis sitting in India should see this video and knownfor themselves what value have they brought by their actions. They ruined their own state in all this.

They did that random dude dirty when the realtor said there's poverty around and they just showed that dude sitting there for no reason ?

You voted for it. STFU and sit in it.

Interestingly there was similar spike in homicide rates in U.S. To 7.5 in 2922 the year you referenced. Now sitting at 5.8. Canada's rate is much less negligible.

Why anyone would want to sit themselves in the minds of a billion country people is beyond my understanding

Everyone is saying it's not their jurisdiction to build houses, but we all know someone has to do it. Selling houses that look like birdhouses for a million dollars and renting them out for 90% of people's income is unsustainable. The Canada we knew is different now. Provincial conservative governments and city mayors are playing politics with people's lives. The federal government should take a more aggressive approach.\n\nAdditionally, houses are being treated like stock market assets, with bidding wars and corporations holding onto properties instead of people living in them. New apartment developments are sitting empty in cities across Canada, being used as assets to trade. Homes should be for living in, not trading. The government needs to look into this issue more closely.

Starmer won't sit down with the ayatollahs he'll kneel.

Hopefully the US will not copy what Canadians are doing, canadians became at ease at money that the students are giving them, esp. Indians, they favor them, they become just sit in the office without knowing indians are taking over their country already, most of their officials are indians, police, business owners, and i dont know if its good

I see a lota comments saying this is one-sided. I cant speak for anyone else but this has been my experience as well... I've been to the Indian Embassy in Wellington, Nz multiple times to submit my applications passport renewal, police clearance etc and girls at the counter were unnecessarily rude & very unhelpful.. I've never received this sort of treatment from kiwis in Nz especially those sitting at customer service desks. I'd worked in Customer service for 7+ years and its very sad to see Indians (not all; some are good but very rare) are the worst and rudest to deal with. Because of this Indian generally have a very bad reputation in Nz; and by the looks of it, in Canada & Australia too..

Oh please do sit there and wait for the authorities to deport you. Take JT and Singh with you!

This is the problem with you guys… if you are offer to sit you demand for a bed to lie down! Be grateful for the Canadian education and experience!

As an Indian from India don't demand for sleep to a place given to sit .

Its not only students or temporary workers. Most of Corp in Canada are immigration hubs. I was working for Rogers but my job is taken by indian and I can't get anything since they are sitting everywhere. They openly practice discriminiation.\nFurther, I don't know what work to use for the PM, he was brutually humilated in India twice. Indian PM refused to met him but he is still hanging around them. Please also note this guy Jagmit Singh is a crooke/black mailer.

Well when you sit back and allow Israeli to commit genocide this is to be expected.

I've lived in Canada all my life I haven't had a doctor in 2 years. In my 60s I now have to go and sit in emergency every month to refill my prescriptions. I often spend 12 to 14 hours a month because there are no doctors in Alberta! These people should go home we don't have the room and we have enough Truck drivers!
