What do you mean by process no they have to go back where they came from.

I have cousins who are illegal immigrants, I’ve been trying to sponsor my wife to come here legally and it has been the most dreadful process I’ve ever been through. Meanwhile these guys are here already receiving food stamps and housing. I make 220k a year. I pay my fair share in taxes and don’t need any government assistance. I’m definitely for returning illegals that are jamming the immigration system.

Would now be a bad time to point out that there were at least two mass deportations done by the US in the last century targeting Hispanics? Both illegally deported American citizens. Neither bothered with due process.

you gotta go through the immigration process ,its there for a reason and it's the law .as an American, I cant just go to another country and be a citizen, theres rules .

Temporary protections and waiting for asylum processing are both legal recourses, i.e. the government actually can't do anything to kick them out because it's written in the law. To lump those people in with illegal immigrants is to believe the narrative that everyone outside the country migrating deserves deportation

I'd be positiely suprised if Trump stopped at illegals and didn't cause the economy to crash in the process.

How do you screw up a great immigration process... You hire Justin Trudeau.

My main concerners are human decency and the chance that a legal immigrant will get caught up in the mix.\n\nFirstly, i am concerned we will return to the concentration camps of the 1900s and the people in them wont have adequate supplies and support ehile they wait to be deported.\n\nSecondly my concern is for those on a green card or other form of legal immigration getting caught up in the mix and not being let go. I guess this also includes children of people here illegally who were born in America.\n\nFinally i think we need to stop thinking of asylum seekers as illegal immigrants. If you have come here and submitted the proper paperwork to be here then you should be allowed to stay until your paperwork has been processed.

Ok I have a question. Right now the unemployment rate is 4.1%, if 12M illegal immigrants get deported, who largely work in food processing, constructions, and healthcare support, who is going to take those jobs? We have 7M unemployed and if we deport 12M, that's 5M jobs at a minimum that will no longer be filled. You think food costs a lot now, what happens to the cost of food without them? Or the cost of building new housing, it certainly won't go down? Or the cost of taking care of granny in the old folks home, is she coming home to the family to provide round the clock care?

That is dishonest. It was not a bipartisan border bill that shit had $60 billion going to Ukraine, $14 billion going to Israel. It also legalized illegal immigration to something like a 5000 a week. It also altered the process to basically hand wave away a lot of the vetting process to just let them in. So to simply call it a bipartisan border bill is not telling the whole truth. It wouldn't have helped the issue, it would have swept it under the rug.

If trumo wants to play it smart deport the criminals and those 1.3M already on the deportation list \n\nThrn hire more staff to process the claims of the remaining 11M deporting those who fail and goving citizenship to those who succed \n\nIts a weak policy but one that will shine a good light on him without rinos stopping his policy plans

So its basically sonething of an National Registrar for Citizens programme in India. \n\nContext - It all began in Northeast India, a tegion which has been neglected by the Indian government for quite a long time. The region is populated by Hindus speaking Assamese (in Assam), Bengali (in Tripura) & Meitei (in Manipur), with a large significant population of Tibeto-Burmese tribal populations following either Christianity, their own folk religions or integrated with Hindus & a minority of Bengali Muslims (mostly in Assam). This area was conquered by the British in 1820s, & with the British came a lot of non-native peoples (mostly Bengali speaking people), thereby making the noatives absolutely hate their presence. Following the Partition of India, many Bengali Hindus fleeing persecution migrated to Northeast India, fuelling further unrest. Over time, a large number of Bengali Muslims from what is now Bangladesh illegally migrated into the Northeast & integrated themselves with the local Muslim population (settled by the British), thereby changing the regional demographics based on religion. In the 1980s the increasing number of Bengali Muslims in the Northeast Indian state of Assam sparked an insurrection, which was put down after the Indian government promised to identify & deport illegal immigrants. Similar rebellions also broke out in other states of Northeast India by the tribal population against the rise in numbers of Bengali Hindus seeking shelter from religious persecution by Muslims in Bangladesh. However, very little progress was made in identifying illegal immigrants in Northeast India. After 2011 census revealed that Muslims outnumbered Hindus in Assam (but the combined Hindu-tribal populated outnumbered Muslims), talks began about setting a registrar & tribunal to speed up the process of identifying & deporting illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. This picked up pace after the Hindu nationalist BJP party came to power in the union government in 2014 & in Assam's state government in 2016. Around 2018, the Assam government started the National Register of Citizens to register the names of all people of the state provided that they can show proof of their/their parents being present in the state before 1971, inabilty to do so would cause to stand trial before a Foreigners' Tribunal to prove their citizenship or face deportation. This exercise was fraught with allegations of xenophobia, with Bengali Hindus, Gorkhas (settled by the British from Nepal to serve in the army) & Austro-Asiatic tribals (settled by the British to work as labourers in tea gardens) being branded as illegal infiltrators alongside Bengali Muslims. Those who were unable to prove their citizenship ended up rounded in detention centres, eventually to be deported out, which at that time many in Europe & USA had compared with Nazi concentration camps. \nIt would be interesting to see whether this same Nazi analogy is drawn up in case of the Trump administration doing the same as what happened in India.

Trumps deportation plan will cost the US billions if not trillions of dollars to deport illegal immigrants.\nMore people are needed to speed up the immigration processing.

Tldr: it's going to be a horrible annihilation of human rights and basic dignity which will be worse than operation wetback because a certain percentage of the country wants as many brown people as possible gone and doesn't much care how inhumane the process is

they will do like Eisenhower did but the ilegals only will be the targeted i think those whom paying tax and had already processed will be i think speared as i speculate but we will wait what will they do or plans

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.

Hi. Please is there a part in the process you\nPick the province you want to go to or Canadian just put you in a province themself?

She is as narcissistic as Trump. She ignores that Stephen Miller tweeted that they will turbocharge denaturalization process which means that a lot of people will have their US citizenship revoke and they will probably include this woman. This woman needs to get off her high horse because nobody is safe.

All immigrants support trump. Illegal aliens arent immigrants, as they havent done the immigration process. The liberals just created their made up term to blur the lines vetween propaganda and reality.

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 ❤❤❤?

Good morning,,my name is Peterson ,,I tried but I got some one name Quynh she is asking for money to process my job

There are a lot of scammers around the world. It is in your duty to identify them and never fall as prey. It's not Canada's fault that you are getting deported for false information. Scammers are getting better every time. It is your duty to do your own research so you won't get involved into this mess. Yes Canada immigration also needs to screen the application very carefully so this type of nonsense will not come to pass. If you fall prey to scammers that is your own fault for not doing the right thing or even following the right process. You guys like it easy then Canada will make it also easy for you. DEPORTATION. I am an immigrant myself and we followed every single steps to become an offcial canadian citizen. It took me years to become a citizen. And I am not just talking about 3 or 4 years later, but 10 years later coming from a skilled worker.

Ah, Steven Miller has stated that they will turbocharge the denaturalization process meaning that they will also deport US citizens.

True story:\nMy sister-in-law is a Mexican citizen. A beautiful, kind and intelligent woman. She is college graduate with a productive career and is a home owner. She has been trying to get her visa to VISIT the United States since my 10 year old daughter was a baby. Her next appointment is in 2025. It can be a very long and tedious process.\nPeople make it sound so easy. “Just do it the right way!” They have no idea what they’re talking about.\nMy sister-in-law doesn’t even want to move here, she just wants to visit her nieces and nephews and they make her jump through so many hoops.\nAt her last appointment, she answered a question honestly when they asked why she wanted to visit the United States, she said, “to visit my family.”\nThe interviewer told her, “ok, that is fine, but do NOT ever mention this again in any other interview. Say that you want to go to Disneyland or the malls or something. Do not let them know that you have family there, or they will think that you will try to stay!”\nThey have a script that you need to follow. They’re not looking for honesty.

She thinks that the immigration process is way more simpler than it is because she came at a time when it was. What an embarrassment

Well if your end game plan was too be a permanent resident of this Country. Then why didn't you go through the process of that instead of coming here as a student. Oh wait!!! That's right, coming here too study was a lie & a scam to get your foot in the door so you can't leave! (borrowed)

Trailers, processing, seriously??????

Dang the amount of hate in these comments is insane, i thought you people were supposed to be loving and tolerant ? I've never seen such toxic behaviour and language before. Shes spot on , there's procedures to this stuff, do the process legally! If you don't do it, its illegal, if its illegal then you shouldnt be rewarded for it.

Zero chance she came here through the legal process. AND, my people do not claim her.

What people don't understand is that you can't just start a process in any country unless you have and meet the grounds for starting a process. Each process has its own regulations. Example: For asylum to take place, you have to prove you have a well founded fear of persecution from your home country due to your race, religion, or political opinion. Most of the illegals claiming asylum base on economic hardship, or violence from local gangs, will not win an asylum case. Wanting a better life for your family is not considered valid grounds. The same with legal status: You have to first become a resident which means you have to be petitioned by an immediate family member ( A Parent or sibling with a legal status in the US). Depending who petitioned you, it can be a very lengthy process, up to 26 yrs if your sibling submitted the application! Process is much faster for spouses and kids of US Citizens. Only after several years as a legal resident can you apply for Citizenship. Spouses married to US Citizens is 3 yrs, IF you know english. If you don't you might have to wait till you are 65, when you qualify for the test to be in your native language, but only if you have been a resident more than 20 yrs and so forth. As you can see doing it legally, is a lengthy process, but all these caravans think they can just march in and let the countries accept them without going thru the process and it has caused major problems all the way around. That's why the laws must be enforced to eliminate these invasions!

The fact that we have so many people in the US undocumented and living here for decades tells us that our legal process is not sufficient for allowing people to come legally. Having that many people tells us we need to treat this as a policy problem, not an individual-making-bad-choices problem. And spending billions of dollars on border patrol tactics that still allow for so many illegap immigrants tell us that our resources are grossly misspent. Plus we treat legal asylum seekers as if they were illegal (depriving people of food, keeping them from crossing in the first place) so people will choose whatever method will get them here. People can be here legally for well over a decade before getting a green card and then even longer to get citizenship.

What line did she stood in to get her green card? I as a citizen filed for my mom and she waited in the comfort of her country until the process was completed. \nThe willful ignorance of some of these supporters make me cringe ? smh ?‍♀️ ?

Are we talking about a mass deportation of people who came into this country illegally? The funding and the resources are the problems. Trump is not going to be able to deport as many as he proposes. If some of them have been here and started an American-born family, then they should get special consideration, but if it's decided they get deported it's really not the fault of the government, it solely rests on the shoulders of those who come in our country and break our laws. If the idea is to become an American Citizen breaking the law is not the first thing to do to swear allegiance. It's confusing. My hope is that we get this issue behind us with fairness and compassion, without sending the message that you can just come here without due process.

CNN as usual trying to lie!!! We’re all this numbers coming from??? What is the problem to deport all this people??? If Biden - Harris administration managed to bring 20 million people for 3 years, why Trump can’t do the same opposite??? We do not need detention centers!!! We need to speed up the process!!! Bring them to the border and let them cross back to we’re they came from!!! No bus, no train, no plane!!!

I came here last 2019 legally and it is not an easy journey(the money through out the multiple process 1,2,3,4 and so on,the lawyer fee and time plus the stress both me and my husband and in God's time sooner the final application for naturalization.So for the democrats to just let the illegals come that easy and got free food,shelter and etc is so wrong.

Wait until people realize what they've done. Just freaking wait. All hell is going to break loose in our country. The GOP is going to show us chaos... Ripping people away from their families again!!! No more due process for immigrants.

A one-time operation to deport these immigrants would cost at least $315 billion, broken down as follows: \nThe government would have to spend $89.3 billion to conduct sufficient arrests. \nThe government would have to spend $167.8 billion to detain immigrants en masse. \nThe government would have to spend $34.1 billion on legal processing. \nThe government would have to spend $24.1 billion on removals

Go through the legal process and follow our laws or stay out. If Americans break the law while their children are present police separate them too. It’s not an issue it’s the law.

Something trump supporters and everyone needs to understand is that there is NO application to just apply and come here legally! That’s why her family has been here for 20 something years. Only people that can “apply” are asylum seekers. Anyone from any other country there is no such application. There would only be an “application” is there was an immigration reform that would allow people that want to come or have been here to apply. There has not been immigration reform/amnesty in decades. \n\nI urge everyone to YouTube or go on the uscis website and find this so called application. The only way is either 1. You were born somewhere else and your parents are citizens 2. Enlist in US military 4. Marriage with a us citizen. So it’s not as easy as just applying, if it was there wouldn’t be so much illegal immigration. \n\nNo excusing or saying it’s okay to come illegally, just saying the reason people do it that way is because there hasn’t been and there currently is no process to do it legally.

You people will never get it will you. There is a process. Respect the process!!! It’s a slap in the face for those who went through all the proper procedures and payed a lot of money to do so. Ask south side Chicago how they like their public parks and buildings being used for illegals. Total disrespect. That is why you lost. You’re all brainwashed and have lost all sense. You don’t know what a dictator is obviously. Completely out of touch with reality. It’s sad really. Get well soon.

Cubans need to stfu about immigration. They all get an automatic asylum. Only country in the world we do that with. There are zero illegal Cuban immigrants in the US. They are completely disconnected from what a real immigration process looks like

She probably will turn her family in to immigration. A very despicable human being. She needs to understand and learn her history about the Mexican repatriation act of the 1930s. Thousands of Mexicans and US citizens were deported forcibly to Mexico without due process. One day she’ll be walking down the street and immigration will pick her up and send her right across the border because of her accent and skin color.

We should all be worried when they use the word “processed.” Illegal aliens should be arrested and deported immediately!

The optics of rounding up migrants en masse are incredibly bad... Then there's the reality that many will evade, escape, and some will even fight bitterly. Lives will be lost.... Children will be harmed or worse. I hope we'll be able to keep our lunch down during the process of making America great again.

Illegals should not have rights to due process……

Process ? How about a walk them back ?\nGet the F out !

Why would America worry if illegals are, lawfully, removed? Cotton didnt stop getting made in the South after the slaves were set free. Tough example, and complicated discussions, but we got to reset the immigration process or look at how states ignored the homeless/drug issues? They just got to be out of control. We following the law or not here??

That women’s statement is NOT true,immigration has NEVER been a process of just waiting in line. This is MISINFORMATION.

This illegal immigrant knows she's damn well lying. So she claims she received her green card after waiting just a couple of hours and days, for the USCIS to begin the process with such an expedient turn around time. After her application was submitted, researched, investigated, approved and they also issued her a Green Card so effeciently. Get real, it's a government process in no way has any business being done with our government has ever ran that efficiently and swiftly.\nHer dumb ass will be round up with the rest of her own damn family.\n\n?She called herself a Mexican-American!?

Ya because immigration is like a super fair process that never gets disrupted or becomes ridiculously difficult and expensive.
