I'm a Latino preparing for Trump's mass deportation of migrants | Close Up

Jorge Rayes Paz arrived in the US as an undocumented child. Now 23, and a permanent resident, he fears for some of his relatives, as President-elect Donald Trump pledges to deport up to 12 million undocumented immigrants. “I have someone really close to me that is undocumented and I might lose her because of Donald Trump,” Jorge says.

Watch our latest Close Up episode Trump’s Deportation Nation to see how community members like Jorge are preparing for Trump to take office.

Imagine living in France, Italy or Germany as an American and refusing to learn to speak the language of that country but insisting that you're a citizen.

[arlinenivens]

No one asked you to cross illegally. We have laws

[thomaslemon]

I’m sorry but how do people STILL not understand the difference between “legal immigrant” and “illegal immigrant”? It’s really not that hard of a concept

[sheilawilliams]

If you come in illegally that's breaking the law, it's a crime.

[dnarroyo]

I have no sympathy for these people in the documentary. My family came to the USA the “legal” way and became citizens.

“When immigrants are under attack, what do we do? Fight back!”

Where was this enthusiasm for the fight and the struggle when they were back home?

We fought and died for this country and it’s our country and Americans are struggling.

We’re having a hard time right now with our finances, crime and illegal migrants, I’m sure you understand, if things get better, maybe *we’ll call you and invite you to come over*.

[marden]

just imagine breaking into a house without the homeowners permission? then having the audacity to ask for a free room to sleep & free food. 😂 the balls.

[stevenjackson]

This sense Of entitlement is amazing and then you break our laws and then use our humanity against us

[jibin]

There are people waiting for decades who came in legally for a Green Card. Stop cutting lines, we all have difficulties in our lives in one way or other

[adrienebailey]

Homeless Americans sleeping in the streets begging for food while these ppl brought their whole family to live in 5 star hotels.

[RestorationPHX]

Its not hate is financial burden - abuse of the system

[Crusoe]

The entitlement is disgusting. You entered as country illegally and then demanded the citizens if that country to pay for you. No illegal immigrant is a New Yorker, I am a New Yorker. I grew up in New York, I worked and paid taxes in New York. They shouldn’t dare to call themselves New Yorkers. And if they don’t families separated, it’s simple. Come legally or don’t come at all.

I don’t think a channel run by Qatar is really the place to stand up about immigration rights.

[Dademuzic]

Why even give these folks a platform too talk about what they feel. Ain't nothing to talk about. Go home

[bandersnatchful]

We don't see how YOU don't see that not EVERYONE can come to America. Especially the way dementia Joe has allowed it.

[MichaelObray-qkcb]

my god these people are delusional they almost believe their own

[drugoviic]

You don't get to just walk into another country otherwise everyone in the third world would just move to europe, asia and the us

[JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

It’s ironic because there are so many Latinos who are actually US Citizens that do support Trump

[Omartinez]

So the guy recommends for people to marry US citizens for benefits and not love.

[Scott-ksdp]

If you don’t have a green card or a work visa and in the country illegally. Get out!
