This is cruel and beyond that it's economically idiotic. Just wait until your grocery prices go through the roof. Farmers CANNOT find Americans to pick tomatoes, watermelons, etc. etc. American citizens just simply won't do the work.There are countless other industries that use undocumented workers. We are headed for a higher inflation again if this is implemented. How about immigration reform instead? How about work permits? How about paths to citizenship? We need the workers. Our legislators should do their job and come up with immigration reform rather than spend billions rounding up people and hamstringing our economy in the process. Maybe this move along with tariffs will help Americans realize that electing Trump was a mistake.

Time for us to do the same. UK has been doing deportation. Other European countries have been doing it. It's time to stop the issues surrounding national security and defence. Part of National defense is defending it's boarders. Trump is finally going to be a firm president that will defend his boarders. We don't have to fear this. We need to follow suit and do the same. This is a chance for us to work together to secure the boarders between us. We have refused to mand the boarder and actually more people cross the boarder to USA from Canada. So this is it. We refuse to deal with drugs, illegal immigrants and human trafficking. It's time to deal with it

Good luck punishing your donor’s companies for employing illegals??. Your contractor neighbor with a huge Trump flag on his truck is not gonna like having to either get rid of his 20 illegal Central American landscapers or being punished for having employed them. Good luck deporting 15’000’000 people. That’s 264 people every single day of the 4 years. Who’s going to pay for that? I have no issues deporting criminal illegals but it’s just unrealistic that you 1.) should or 2.) can deport everyone, including the ones contributing to local economies and taxes. There are more pressing issues for Americans. Getting the? !

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

Impose special tax on El8n Musk and MAGA who wanted Trump and give out subsidies to American people to buy groceries.

There are about 800,000 police in the ENTIRE Country... If there are 16,000,000 illegals in the country, Each Police person would have to stop whatever they are doing and, on average, capture 20 illegals... Given that each of these captured people are entitled to plead their case before a judge, How many people will actually be deported before Trump exits??? How much will that cost??? and What happens to the USA while all the Police are engaged in doing Trump's wishes??? What they don't tell us about The Wall is that it's been breached more than 3,000 times and the climate in that area is already degrading the metal and concrete... Trump tried this before in his first term and could not get it done... What makes this Senator think it's going to work this time???

The migrants by me have better principles and morals than Trump and his supporters. They are more of what I want in our country. I wish we could keep them and deport the people that hate and fear them.

REPUBLICANS ARE DISLUSIONAL...AND INHUMANE,,,,DON'T FORGET, EFFIN LIERS,,,THE SO-CALLED LATINO VOTERS, HAVE CREATED A PROBLEM FOR THEIR FAMILY, NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS,,,EFFIN CHALLENGED PEOPLE..TRUMP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON,,HE WANTS THE TRAPPINGS OF THE WHITEHOUSE,,ITS THE BEST SUPPLY FOR A NARSARRCIST..,, WE HAVE SÈEN THE REPUBLICANS IN ACTIONS,,DUMB AZZ'Z..KARMA PLEASE

There could be a chance for more people. If we send everyone back and companies can request their workers back legally. Like the programs that already exist. There are other choices. What we don't want is people to just feel like they can come in with no consequences. There are illegals that have been here for 20+ years. That pay taxes as well. Which I feel need a chance. This subject is so broad... But I know Trump is a fair man. He will do the right thing

Trump's goal is to lock people out and keep the American's in he hates to get his bloody justice against them.\nHis Reich is coming to America and his violent minion supporters are salivating to get on board to have that green light turned on by Trump so they can have their violent bloody revenge. That's what's gonna happen.

As an Independent voter, I voted against Trump, as I think he is simply too slimy to represent the USA. Having said this, I agree that ALL people living in this country illegally (men, women, children) need to be deported. Will this increase the price of goods? Probably. But, until we baseline things according to our rule of law, everyone against this policy is simply guessing.

???? nothing new… racist in Canada only comes up when Trump either running for election or elected… in 5 years, they will all slowly disappear. Trump is like a health potion for white people. ???? \n\nPeople of colour, just be patient, in 5 years this will be under the rug, it’s better to take note, who is racist or NOT, and make up your own judgement.

The illegal immigrant that contributes to society is not who Donald Trump is worried about. Donald Trump will get out the illegal immigrant that is a convicted felon the criminal out of our country. We don’t need them here to hurt our women our children. Donald Trump said he wants people to come into the country they need to come in legally but the criminal will pay Will be deported. And I am just confused. Why does the Democratic Party want illegal immigrants here on our streets hurting our American people someone makes sense to me. Why should we have them in America and I’m talking about the criminals not the hard-working illegal. immigrants I also have friends that came into this country legally, they worked very hard to get here. It’s not fair to them to have people into this country illegally it’s just not right.

And who is going to pay for that ???? You really think prices going to go down after that? And border crossing were higher at the end of Trump first term not lower .....wake the hell up people

These people need to learn what denaturalization is. They'll see what will happen under Trump. As my father used to say, if you dont hear, you must feel.

You people forget that D.J.T is gonna be serving his second term aka Trump the 2nd, whether he fulfills his campaign promises or not won’t matter to the American people since he won’t be seeking your appointment again as PoTUS

They will not do nothing as it has happened before because they don't have even an idea of what kind of people. Trump will be worthless!!!

Wait until the deportation starts. Folks that only know this country will be dumped off in a country they know nothing about g about. You folks are in for a big surprise. You have been listening to the wrong people. Trump lies

how will they identify the illegals? what happens to the businesses who lose employees? employment rates are high in the US. we have high employment in australia with many businesses who cannot find people to work in their businesses how will they identify the violent criminals? will they increase the police forces/army? will the costs of doing this outweigh the benefits? what are the benefits of getting rid of these people beyond some 'trumped up' idea they are somehow a threat??

Adam McKay — who directed the 2018 Dick Cheney biopic Vice — is encouraging voters to abandon the Democrat party in the wake of Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump, calling out Democrat elites for their lies and shenanigans, including hiding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline from the American people.

Why does this butthead soon to be senator think the GOP has some huge mandate. Trump only got 50.7% of the popular vote, which means 49.3% voted against him and his ideas. If Trump had gotten 65 or 70 percent of the vote, that’s called a mandate. I think as soon as police and government officials start asking everyone who looks or sounds foreign for their papers to prove they are citizens multiple times every day there is gonna be a huge cry from the Hispanic and people of color that voted for Trump.

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..........

Alas the big money people that support trump will be at logger heads soon over this deportation plan

All these people are just like Trump. They only care about themselves no one else what you don’t understand is Trump’s a communist and so is our country now no more voting no more say so only what Trump says he watch how long it’ll be before Putin in our White House.

I don't care anymore. A lot of Hispanics voted for trump so you get what you voted for. If your family members are deported ok. Nothing can be done because they chose to be ignorant. All I know is that black people will not be picking anything. We are the only group of people that voted for democracy

Stock up on KY and bend over America. Trump and the banana republicans are about to push the US back to the stone age. Don't forget he did say you would never have to vote ever again. Phew, right?\n4:29 Banks says the American people deserve it. You do.

Greetings from Europe. Trump will start a fight on all fronts and people will soon be exhausted.

I know a lot of orchard owners that are going to be just as screwed as they were during Covid, when they didn’t have the labor to get the fruit picked!! The \nPeople who have been coming here have been doing it for years!! The economy will suffer seriously with their loss!! The pickers go home each year, but they buy groceries, gas, fast food and you would be amazed at the amount of older vehicles that get sold at the end of the picking season!! But the local people don’t apply for the jobs in the orchards or even in the packing plants!! They feel that is beneath them and it doesn’t pay enough! So it will be a huge loss that Trump will be directly responsible for because he stokes false dystopian fear convincing the unaware of the truth!! Remember “caravans” lie?? It was just another scare tactic!!

This is bs. There are many people that voted for Trump that is against mass deportation of law abiding illegal immigrants, but are for deporting violent criminals and securing the border and keeping illegal immigration out. What about the dreamers? They should be exempt from deportation. They speak English, they've assimilated into American culture, they own businesses and most importantly, being deported back to Mexico is technically being deported to a foreign country they have never lived in.

Deporting 15 million people is beating Hitler, the ultimate goal of Trump… concentration camps are going to be built ? Where? How? With illegal workers probably?

What a fatuous policy proposal. If this immigration policy happens, every American will regret voting for Trump. The loss of revenue from thousands of these people will cost the United States economically and socially. It's unfathomable how those who voted for Trump don't understand economics!

He now has to deal with a female president of Mexico as well.. and we know that women are stronger than man. Trump is making a lot of friends in the world right now and it’s gonna get complicated for him and with the American people.

Too many people are so uneducated about what Trump is really going to do!! They do NOT understand how tariffs work!! Unlike Kamala’s plan to stop the price gouging in the grocery stores…the GOP will drive prices through the roof!!! Anyone who voted for Trump has a lot of moments ahead of finding out what he was claiming he would do that 1) either he can’t because he doesn’t have the authority to just play God or 2) he had not intended the results that people thought in the first place!! \nBut it is truly going to be a scary time as we watch unemployment start to skyrocket, especially as he gets rid of career government employees!! The unemployment numbers under Biden soon will be a distant memory!! After all, Biden has continued to drop unemployment numbers on a monthly basis, breaking all prior records of low unemployment on a monthly basis for the past 4 years!! The inflation rate which did not include costs of food, were also dropping consistently including this past month!! I believe it under 3% by close to 1/2 a percentage point!\nBut what will truly be frightening will truly be if he accomplishes his plan to get rid of SSI, Medicare & Medicaid as well as the Affordable Care Act!! I’m sure millions are also hoping the $35 cap on Insulin doesn’t just stop before they have to pickup their next prescription! \nBottom line: when in our History have we ever faced a more frightening future at the whim of the Dictator in the White House??

This idiot does not even know what he is talking about. They couldn't build that stupid wall last time because of how grossly expensive and impossible it is. Just as it's economically and fiscally impossible to deport 11 Million people. Trump is going to give the keys to Wormbrain RFK Jr, Spaceman Musk, and a host of other clowns in this circus to do whatever they please to run our government into the ground while he plays golf. And this MAGA moron senator will help dig the hole.

Russia helped Trump win with bomb threats and cheated by Elon giving money illegally to get votes. Why are the democrats letting this happen like they are a part of this. Seems all set up to happen and screw the American people.

Jim Banks I hope you are ready to have white Americans to get down on their knees in hot, unbearable weather to pick the nation's fruits and vegetables, work in low paying hospitality jobs and many others no one wants. All these barbaric policies are going to come back and bite many many people who voted for Trump in the ass! Let's see content the country is after 18 months of Trump and his minions.

Mr Banks, you did a great job on Dana Bash! Congratulations on your win ! Now go out there and make beautiful things happen w Trump and the American people!

Stop complaining, Trump was voted in to rid the country of illegals, this is the People's choice not yours alone so expect it

We the people did NOT send a mandate to remove undocumented immigrants.\nFACTS MATTER\nExit polling shows that:\n55% wanted undocumented immigrants to have a path to citizenship\n36% want all undocumented immigrants removed immediately\nDONT TELL US WHAT WE SAID\nEven more to the point there are at least 335m Americans\n1/5 of them were able to and voted for trump, 1/5 of them voted for Harris, and 1/5 did not vote. The other 2/5th weren't eligible to vote\nIf you want to talk about a MANDATE tell us why trump got 2% fewer votes than he did in 2020\n20% of Americans do not a MORAL mandate form

They don't care about no one Trump is crazy and antitchrist people what you need to know all those people are racist just like Trump God has planned for America

To be fair people sent Trump back to Washington to reduce the price of bacon as well, mass deportation will be at odds with that, no?

Where is Trump your beaurltiful project 2025 . People implement it as they cant wait.

This man is a liar!!! These people are destroying NYC!!Even the kids are criminals!!! This very same America Mr destroyed poor families on drugs but want to talk about separation of illegals……Trump won for that reason and he will get the job done!!! Wait for it!!

Why were 13 million democrats purged from voter rolls? Why did trump tell people not to vote he didn't need the votes? Why was Musk running and swing states paying voters to register and how any new voters are linked to those payouts and were any illegals?

we thank the coperate press and news networks like CNN,for all the hatred and division they have planted into American hearts all because of one man-TRUMP\nEven after the elections,CNN is still trying to tell the world that black and hispanic people that voted for Trump have voted for a doom day for their children.\nI can only imagine how much division that news networks like CNN will bring to this country now that Trump is president.\nInstead of analyzing the Truth why American people overwhelming voted for Trump and trashed the current administration,CNN wants Americans to hope that Trump is coming for everyone.\nTHIS NATION WANTS TO HEAL AND WE CAN'T DO IT WITH DAILY DIVISION AND HATRED COMING FROM THE PRESS EVEN AFTER THE ELECTIONS.THEY ARE NOT EVEN READY TO GIVE TRUMP A CHANCE EVEN AFTER 80% OF THE COUNTRY HAS CHOSEN HIM.

as soon as he win he talks about sending you back, you P-R voted for him, I know that was a slap in the face?‍♂?Trump don't care about how hard they work, he just going to make the B men do what they used to do and paid them less the same way he treated them people he deporting, is the same way he going to treat the Blacks but worst back to slavey unless you rich as hell,

Trump is just spouting populist rhetoric. Why didn't he do that in his first term in office when the Republicans had control of both houses of Congress before the 2018 midterm elections. In fact, no president has ever deported more people than Obama did.

15 million illegal immigrants can into the US under joe biden? That's bullshit. That's like saying there was no illegal crossing under Trump. What even crazier is most Americans those that say cost was the biggest issue will be shocked when the chickens to factory have to pay $20 an hour and the cost is passed on. Must people ignore the workers in the hotels or in the back of the kitchens, landscaping etc and would not be happy working for those wages. These people live a life most Americans could not fathom. Let's see how that goes.

Hey Hispanics, you voted for Trump loud and clear. Now look at what he’s going to do to your people. \nExcellent work????\n??

How do you round up, intern, and eliminate 11 million people? Look at history. Stephen Miller is Himmler. Mike Davis is Beria. Trump Stormtroopers by volunteer, draft, or conscription.
