An illegal migrant living in Denver, Colorado, has pleaded with Donald Trump to "give papers to those who want to work", as the US President cracks down on the border crisis.
In Joe Biden’s four-year presidency more than seven million illegal immigrants entered the United States. It was the issue that defined the 2024 election, and was part of the reason Donald Trump won his second term.
Since Trump's administration took office, the President has called on the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to add at least 20,000 officers, as he pursues multiple pathways to force undocumented immigrants to leave the US.
Speaking to GB News, one migrant told reporter Steven Edginton that of the 77 million people who voted for the current President, "50 per cent of them regret it".

Asked by Steven if he has a message for Trump, the migrant told GB News: "My message to Donald Trump is please give papers to those who want to work."
Pressed by Steven on the demographic of Trump's voters, of which a high percentage included migrants and Latinos living in America, the migrant claimed that they were "children of Mexicans" who were born in the US.
He explained: "The ones who voted for him were the children of the Mexicans who were born here.
"And now they regret it because they were the first ones that were deported."

Highlighting the impact of the deportations on families in America, he continued: "It is their aunts, their uncles, their grandparents, all of them are being deported.
"They didn't think about what was to come because the first thing President Trump said when he won the Presidency, was that he would finish the wall with Mexico."
Hitting out at Trump, he declared: "Please, how could anyone vote for that man?"
Questioned by Steven on whether he was a fan of former President Joe Biden, the migrant admitted that although he wasn't "a fan" personally, his administration was "doing the right thing" on immigration.

He told GB News: "It's not that I'm a fan of President Biden, it's just that he was doing the right thing.
"He hadn't gone through this economy that Trump is going through now. He didn't have problems with other countries like Canada, Mexico and China."
He added: "And the deportations are now worse".
