Some of the migrants in sanctuary city New York are already 'terrified' of being deported by Donald Trump - but others are convinced they'll be free from persecution because they aren't criminals.
At the The Roosevelt Hotel shelter, where many have been living for over a year, some say they feel 'traumatized' by Trump's repeated threats.
One mother was seen sobbing in the lobby after the Republican's win was announced early Wednesday.
Another said he is already planning to flee the US and go to Costa Rica, telling Daily Mail: 'I am a scared man.'
'I don’t want them to grab me and hold me in some immigration jail for who knows how long.'
Others, however, are confident they will be allowed to stay because they haven't committed crimes.
They support Trump's plan to get rid of violent criminals, and are not worried about being swept up in his plans to carry out sweeping deportations.
'[Trump] says he’s going to deport the illegal migrants which is not a bad thing. We came here to work and we’re not all the same.... We’re not undocumented,' Venezuelan Fernando Peralta said as he sold drinks from a cooler outside the shelter.
He is registered as an asylum seeker, which gives him hope he will be allowed to remain in the US.
'We’re gonna be fine cause the government should go after the bad guys,' he added.
Peralta claimed that he himself has fallen victim to criminal migrants who have been operating near the shelter and the Times Square area.
'Why would you come here and steal? One of them tried to rob me the other day and I punched him in the face,' an exasperated Peralta said.
'Look how we’re working here and they’re out there stealing.'

However, besides that, if you are caught driving without a license you broke the law and can be deported.
If you get work - you broke the law and can be deported.
If you used fake ID - you broke the law and can be deported.

The unemployment rate in Mexico was 2.9% in September 2021. Mexico has a $1.26 trillion economy, making it the 15th largest economy in the world. The country is experiencing a historic moment with the inauguration of its first female President, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.

You WILL be deported FERNANDO from VENEZUELA. An ‘asylee’ (haha, shoutout to AOC) goes to the first country to ask for asylum. You don’t get to pick the most profitable life you will have. You are an illegal IMMIGRANT and will be kicked out.
You are not wanted here.
I love the new nomenclature: migrants.
No, no, not illegal aliens. Migrants.
Poor innocent clusters of men, women and children with absolutely no business being in our country.
Tens of thousands of harmless military age men with Nikes and cell phones.
Migrants.
A generous welfare system is not compatible with an open border.
We must cut off the welfare, then many will self-deport.

That’s a great idea...take friends and strangers with you.
One of the BEST things the Trump admin can do at this point is to ALWAYS use the term illegal immigrants.
No more “migrants”, “undocumented” etc.. Force the press to quote all admin people calling them illegal immigrants.
Take back the language of the debate.
If that is your desire you're not helping.
They're illegal ALIENS, not illegal immigrants.
“ALWAYS use the term illegal immigrants.”
ALIENS ALIENS ALIENS
I would prefer “illegal aliens”.
Really make the presstitutes choke on it...
That term doesnt mean what you think it means...
They are not any type of IMMIGRANT
An IMMIGRANT is someone who IMMIGRATES
Illegal aliens do not IMMIGRATE
These are illegal aliens...
BTW as I sit here in my PJs I am an undocumented IMMIGRANT
No pockets...
A generous welfare system is also not compatible with a free society.
There are many reasons to cut off the 'gibsmedat'.
Trump is deporting no one. It is all a ruse.
I’m surprised the Daily Mail could find a lady illegal alien. All I see in raw footage from the border is invading male thugs.
'I don’t want them to grab me and hold me in some immigration jail for who knows how long.
That is something Trump should encourage in his deportation strategy. Set up policies that encourage the illegals to leave on their own.
It can save a lot of money if he can get them to leave on their own.
Give those who leave on their own the right to apply for reentry from their own country. Those who are deported are forever banned from reentry.
Why do you say that?
America is basically a big company- I call it âÂÂAmericorp.â No one is going to be deported. The merchants want the cheap labor without unions just as the merchants of old wanted slaves. Next come the robots. I wish I could proved wrong but itâÂÂs like going to Mars- we ainâÂÂt going to Mars and Hillary isnâÂÂt going to jail. Hillary is fine, sheâÂÂs on a beach somewhere. How I wish it werenâÂÂt so.
You can leave on your own terms or ours.
