Oh Bullshit ! It’s Canada it won’t ever happen . Canada dose not have the balls and it’s liberal corrupt Goverment needs them here to vote !

We just had an election in the US and the number one concern was having an open border with all the attendant problems. Trump won the popular vote

Haaaaa. Hey Donald CBC network won't allow comments'. Stick it to Canada. You got my vote and I'm Canadian. And Irish. Love ya?

Donald Trump ran a campaign on authoritarianism, harsh politics and he won the popular vote plus the electoral college

I don't even expect Trump to even be inaugurated... If he does, he will have to hide from public. I would expect that you won't see him as much once he does these things. But that's just my prediction. After all.... Voters voted for this.

Well, this is what you voted for. A person mentally unstable, uncapable of even read in a correct way. Probably he never went to ring a bell of a door in a middle class neighborhood in his entire life. That is the real problem when you have millionaires pretending to be politicians and the worst of all is being a candidate with so many criminal records, found guilty and escape prison time just because you won an election by committing fraud in front of everybody.

1. Mexico doesn't have ANYTHING to negotiate with. Mexico needs the US WAY more than we need Mexico. 2. According to Democrats, Latinos are anti-women and won't vote for women. How did this female become President of Mexico?

Trump is the son of an immigrant and his first and current wife are both immigrants.\n\nIf people actually hated him for the right and true reasons instead of making stuff up and causing people to not believe when actual valid reasons to hate him are stated, he wouldn't have won twice.\n\nBlanketly denigrate the people that support him (I disagree even though I wouldn't vote for him) as moronic, but it's almost always the people making baseless statements about him that show their lack of awareness and education on who exactly Trump is and what he stands for.\n\nObama's father was African and his wife is African American. \nCalling Trump against LEGAL immigration is as ridiculous as calling Obama anti-Black.

Damn what do the Dems have to do with this story? I thought it was about Canada..... Plus y'all got your GOP in so you'll never have to vote again. Y'all just ain happy.... Ya won but ya still ain happy.... Smh....damn?????

Lol anything to criticise trump and his cabinet. Trump won by a landslide and will do everything he said he would. People voted him to get rid of illegals, do not tell me this will cause unrest. This has to be done, illegal immigrants are committing crimes and killing innocent people. Anyone against this you have blood on your hands

Is this how Trump got 60% of the hispanic vote this year? A bunch of people who think the leopard won’t eat their faces?

Get a grip CNN we voted we won majority rules in the. U.S of A\nI tool an oath to defend the USA against all enemies foreign and domestic. I willing to go back and help with the round up

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.

Obviously not controversial if he won the electoral college and popular vote

He won the popular vote, he isn't the controversial one now, you are.

The plan is not controversial. Trump won with an outstanding mandate. American voters want to end to government inspired and funded illegal immigration. The progressive deep state weasels want to disrupt and overturn Republican voting strongholds.

It's not controversial if the man won a landslide victory that the people voted for....

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.

This woman speaks as if she is not going to be herded back to Mexico with the rest of her relatives. It won't matter if she's here legally, she's trying to get in with a bunch of white supremacists who have happily used her for her vote. Oops!

Many people came to the US illegally. They got themselves sorted and now they hate immigrants. I'm an American they say. As they should. Though many can't even speak the queen's English properly like flotus-elect but their status is legal. Some of them will get the boot even with their legal status. Having voted for Trump won't save them. Sorry. One tar brush and a bucket of tar.

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.

I love how he thinks getting one percent more than the Democrats makes it a fucking mandate for them, but when Biden had more than 51% of the boat that somehow wasn’t a mandate, and they obstructed every single thing the Democrats try to do even though they won the vote.

The funny thing is that when the Rs destroy everything, they won't have dems to blame...they have all 3 branches....there are 3 things that are going to happen: 1- there going to try to take credit for JoBi economy (short term), 2- since they have no significant policies, nothing good will get done, economy is going to crash (mi-term) 3- there going to try to blame dems for there incompetencies (ever lasting). In all my years of following politics, i still don't get why people vote for Rs because there always in opposition and never propose solutions...there will always be a Dem to clean it up...

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.

Trump doesn’t have a mandate. He won 50.7% of the vote. That’s a squeaker, not a mandate.

Trump won cause Latinos 9men and women) voted in mass numbers for him. Now those same people are going to have family members deported cause of who they voted for. It's called 'you get what you vote for'.

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

Why is the media acting like this is a surprise? Its what Trump ran on and its what the American people WANT! How is this so hard for people to understand? This wasn't some hidden agenda or anything, it was very clear, and PEOPLE WANT IT. He won the popular vote and electoral college. We don't want illegals here, plain and simple. Look at Europe, Sweden is offering Immigrants $34,000 To Leave Country, they let them in, gave them housing, taxpayer money, realized the mistake and now offering MORE tax money for them to LEAVE!

No one voted for the century initiative. We live in an authoritatian regime with controlled opposition. How dare we think we're better than Russia or China? If our polititians won't refuse bribes from evil people with infinite money, we need to refuse their rule.

Migrants immigrants etc have to have a job here in the US to survive. Question who hires them. The people that hire them should be fined heavily or given jail time this will stop illegal from staying in the US. Guess what the US won't fine or give jail time to those that hire the illegals. Funny those are the same people that voted for Trump.

“Who knew mass deportation was so complicated” -Trump \n\nYou latinos that voted for Trump should realize that Trump isn’t encumbered by concerns about being re-elected. The voters have no leverage on him any longer. And he’s not big on laws or rules or nuance or details. And his SCOTUS just recently made him a King. So it’s gonna be much simpler to just grab people who look Latino and bus them to Mexico. Say what? You were born in the US and are a legal citizen? Well not anymore, birthright citizenship doesn’t count if your parents or grandparents can’t prove their legal status. Your “citizenship” is illegally predicated per new DHS secretary Stephen Miller. So you became illegal too when Trump won Pennsylvania. So sad. \n\nYou probably should have thought a bit more carefully before you put your trust in a serial liar and criminal. \n\nTa-ta.

Trump won the popular vote of the entire country. Illegals are not wanted here, we want Americans helped. NOT illegals who came here illegally and want free everything. Not any other country does this. This is OUR Country, not the whole world’s country. Trump ??????

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.

If they actually do this, they'd best be prepared for the rise in prices that will follow. And they won't have Biden or Harris to blame for it this time, not that they were right to do that in the first place.\n\nI hope every MAGAt that voted for this is ready to find out what it is they think they wanted.

You CNN liberals can't do shit, \nThe republicans has won the presidency, popular vote,senate, house, supreme court the power is too much for them that anything they want to do will go easily for them including mass immigration, the economy amd inflation it will shock the Americans people of what trumps first year will look like and the entertainment is gonna be real\nI can't wait to grab my popcorn for trump to lecture cnn reporters and this time his gonna take no shit

Oh I can't wait for this to start... when veggies cost $5.00 for one apple, and an ear of corn is $10\n\nPeople living in cardboard boxes shaking a tin cup with a sob story I will simply say... I am going to tell you what my family told me when I was disappointed in Trump winning... GET OVER IT\n\nYou brought this on yourself and if you voted for him and end up in that box, I won;t help you by giving you a dollar I will piss in a bottle and say drink it, it's better than nothing.

Just wait.... blanket tariffs on imported foods, plus removal of nearly all our domestic agricultural production capability.\nYou voted for him because eggs are too expensive, well buckle up snowflake because all of us are going to be paying TONS more for ALL groceries once they start doing this. And you can expect most small and medium farms to declare bankruptcy within a year... and your eggs won't even be cheaper - much more expensive actually. Well done.

Trump won because us democrats not strong on immigration even latinos want open borders stopped, want a man leader (Newson would have won damn it), there is backlash against woke culture anti-man sentiment, looks at movies losses because of girl bosses, Democrats could have said DNA testing is supported to help with right to life. Democrats must vote not preselect there condidate. eg unfortunately Scaramuchi said point about anti-woke he's right its mens respect issue.

If the democrats filibuster the plan the majority of the people voted for then they are just doing more of the same. I voted for Kamala, but we lost, and by a large majority. The gaslighting has to stop, the majority wants a change this vote showed that they won fair and square its time to listen and try something else

I see many of you are still struggling to understand how Trump won. It’s many fold, but I can some it up rather concisely.\n\nYour entire mantra was “Vote for us so we can have our way and do what I want or democracy dies”\n\nWhich is so ironic that the thing you think will happen is what that statement represents. \n\nAdd on that, you attacked your political opponent for 8 years with lies, rhetoric (which included degrading remarks about the general populace) and a weak economy and weak foreign policy with a severe influx of illegal immigration. \n\nYou did this to yourselves

Keep an eye on your grocery bill, MAGA. \n\nCrops won’t be planted or harvested. Fields will go fallow. Meat packing plants shuttered. \n\nYou voted for it.

Hi CNN let me explain why Democrats lost. When you insult straight white men by calling them racists and misogynists for 4 years because they disagree with you, they won't vote for you. I was a dem voter until you insulted me to the point that you pushed me right. War on white men is not a winning strategy and today's culture demonizes men for simple existing. Not very smart.

So bizarre that these immigrants think they are safe because they voted for Trump....did they miss the part where he says EVERYBODY IS GETTING DEPORTED....lol. they think that they won't be made to leave...ha ha ha ...IDIOTS ?

As a black woman I won't cry over spilled milk. This is the government people voted for. It is what it is. Take care of your families.

Didn’t happen in 2016 won’t happen in 2024. Also nobody want to come to CANADA. Just the ones being paid to vote for liberal politicians

I'm not glad Trump won, it was expected. Biden has been a disaster. I have no regrets for supporting Jill Stein. We have huge issues that Biden and Democrats just refused to address. Thank you democrats for the lgbtq rights. Now I can move away from you and vote the way I want without fear of losing my rights. Bye! ?

Trump may have won the 2024 election, will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2025 to become the 47th U.S. President, but Trump isn’t my president. Allow me to explain. There are certain attributes that define a U.S. president. A U.S. president places the citizens of this country ahead of his own personal interests. Trump doesn’t do that (hasn’t done that). Trump is self serving. On Jan ’21, Trump became an insurrectionist. Many citizens and police officers were injured and one police officers lost his life. According to the Constitution (the Supreme Court disagrees with me), Trump incited citizens to overthrown the certification of the 2020 election. Insurrection is one of the lowest acts any American can do, let alone a U.S. President. Trump states that the “insurrection” falls under immunity for “official acts”. Since when is “insurrection” an “official presidential duty”? Trump is a known Master Liar. This is beyond a moment when a president estimates, guesses and exaggerate numbers, figures and facts. Trump just lies – over 2k+ lies. Trump cannot be trusted in telling Americans the truth. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a lie flies out! Trump doesn’t appear to be able to help himself. One lie after another. Spreading the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” and not providing legal evidence is an unforgivable act that Americans should #NEVER forget. MAGA, selected GOP, Christian Nationalists don’t appear to be troubled that Trump cannot tell the truth. To me, the truth strengthens the bond of trust – I have NO Trust for Trump! MAGA, Christian Nationalists and some selected GOP – I may use big words that you don’t comprehend such as: Liar, Convicted Felon, sexual misconduct, Insurrection, Fraud, election interference, Unauthorized Possession of classified documents. These are some, not ALL, of the words that defines Trump and his actions. These things do NOT appear to cause any concerns with the 71.2m people who cast their vote in the Nov 5th ’24 presidential election. Trump had unauthorized possession of classified material. (I am not certain what Classified Material Trump possessed, but if these documents would put my friends, my family and I in harm’s way – it’s a problem.) Again, those who voted for Trump, the 71.2m people, #NEVER thought about this. If they had, Trump would #NEVER have received their vote. America has a short attention span. How quickly have we forgotten that Trump’s inaction of Covid-19 could have prevented many from becoming ill and millions losing their lives. (If one of your loved ones have passed due to Covid-19, you will remember Trump’s inability to deal and handle the situation. It is something you will #NEVER forget.) I will not write a book here, but the listed reasons above is why Trump may be the 47th President of the United States, but he isn’t my president. My president would have #NEVER done these things to an American.

Trump said he wants to start with the thousands of illegals that are known criminals. You clowns still don’t get it - your lying does not work and the people that voted should be legal citizens so they have nothing to worry about?? Right?? Trump won big time LOL!! Go hug your support pony and get over it!!

They need 100,000 ICE officers to even begin this plan.\n\nIf you voted for Trump, start sending in your applications. I'm _sure_ you all will meet the physical and mental requirements ??.\n\nHave fun risking your lives on a lie just like the Border Wall. I'm sure you'll get at least 6% of this plan done just like that one, and it won't totally be a waste of time, money, and human lives.
