transition period. is it one year? is it two years? that remains to be seen. but immediately people are not going to lose their insurance. >> reporter: democrats picked up a few seats in the house and senate, but not enough to block repeal. senator elizabeth warren told a union group today she is gearing up for a new reality. >> we will stand up to bigotry. no compromises ever on this one.

some of what president-elect trump promised to do he can do with his own pen. deporting illegal immigrants, for example. but other priorities such as repealing obamacare will require congress. like president obama eight years ago, the people who put him in office have great expectations. and here's mark strassmann. i ever had after it was over with but -- >> reporter: we sat down with three trump voters at the minute grill, where diners have chewed over politics since 1963. >> if donald duck had been running against hillary, i would have voted for donald duck. >> reporter: harold martin is retired navy. joe may is a soybean farmer. they're both lifelong democrats. not this year. how can donald trump make dublin great again? >> by helping the economy.

i mean, money -- the money is everything. >> reporter: was that your big issue, jobs? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: trump's message of america in decline resonated in dublin, georgia, population 16,000. this mid-point between atlanta and savannah was once a manufacturing hub. on election night america's rural areas voted overwhelmingly for trump. urban areas were clinton country. she won 81% of georgia's metro vote. the trump vote in dublin's laurens county mirrored much of rural america. he won almost 2-1. >> if i could be anybody, i'd want to be donald trump. >> reporter: lance hooks is a 39-year-old registered republican. hooks remembers when trump campaigned in rural georgia back in february. >> he was smart enough to come rally his base. and you know what his base was? it was the working-class america. and that's the reason he got the electoral vote he got. >> reporter: what hit you when

>> reporter: hundreds of people here work in three foreign-owned factories. scott, trump won counties like this one because many working-class americans believe, despite trump's anti-free trade stance, that this country needs a ceo. >> about 60 million of them. mark strassmann, thank you very much. the trump election, however, sent shivers through mexico's economy. mexico's foreign minister said today that she is willing to modernize the north american free trade agreement, nafta, but not renegotiate it. manuel bojorquez is in mexico city. >> reporter: in this working-class neighborhood some fear the effects of a trump administration. >> that your life will change. why? >> reporter: "because mexico's economy is so tied to the u.s.," says sonia diaz.

he just talks about hating people. >> reporter: aside from insulting national pride, trump has threatened to tear up the trade agreement between the u.s. and mexico, putting millions of jobs at risk. he has also vowed to build a giant border wall and make mexico pay for it. claudia ruiz-massieu is mexico's foreign minister. >> we would not consider paying for any wall that puts barriers between our integration and our competitiveness. seems to be putting up a fight, is mexico ready to fight back? >> well, mexico is ready to protect our people, but we are also ready to work with the next american administration. >> reporter: mexican senator armando rios piter isn't taking any chances. he's drafted a law that would stop mexico from using public funds to pay for a border wall. he also said mexico could retaliate by revising security agreements with the u.s.

have been taken in terms of protecting the united states. >> it sounds almost like a threat, some would say. >> no. the threat is what trump is doing. >> reporter: the nation's central bank believes mexico's economy is strong enough to weather through the peso's drastic drop. but scott, today it remains at its lowest level in more than two decades. >> manuel bojorquez in the mexican capital. manuel, thanks. some who've made it here from mexico and central america are now agonizing over their future. carter evans has that. >> reporter: immigrants are determined to keep president-elect trump from following through on his campaign threat to deport millions, like yamilex rustriam. >> if i get deported the day after tomorrow, i have nowhere to go. i have nowhere -- i obviously have family, but i would feel lost. >> reporter: she's afraid her family will be ripped apart, as

the u.s. government forced out immigrants en masse. >> it's a tough feeling, not to know the person that was your father. this is my father. >> reporter: former u.s. congressman esteban torres's father was one of an estimated 2 million immigrants who were shipped out of the country as part of a government campaign to save american jobs during the great depression. it was called "mexican repatriation." >> they just rounded them all up. >> rounded them all up and shipped them back to their home >> reporter: just 3 years old, torres was allowed to stay in the u.s. with his mother because he was born here. but roughly 60% of those sent across the border were american-born children. >> it was rough. i remember living in shacks, you know. my mother couldn't afford anything better. >> reporter: and it all happened again in the '50s during "operation wetback" when another quarter million immigrants were sent back across the border. ucla professor raul hinojosa-ojeda.

these round-ups did capture -- break up families that have consequences even today. >> reporter: torres never saw his father again. >> it left me with a taste of how cruel authorities can be. >> reporter: he just hopes president trump doesn't repeat history. carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. well, today we caught a glimpse of the candidate who won the popular vote but lost the election, and from the looks of it not running for president is good for the soul. a hiker, margot gershener, and her daughter phoebe ran into secretary clinton in the woods near her home in chappaqua, new york. god only knows how many times clinton smiled for the cameras on the campaign. but this one seems to be just for her. still ahead, meet the incoming lady of the house.

>> reporter: one thing in common -- both will have raised young children in the white house. 10-year-old barron trump will be the youngest boy in the executive mansion since jfk jr. white house spokesman josh earnest. >> mrs. obama has talked before publicly about the stresses and anxieties of moving to a new place, living inside a fish bowl, living inside a museum, and raising her family there. feeling many of those same anxieties. >> reporter: and mr. trump's children from his first wife are among his closest advisers, especially daughter ivanka, who has championed a proposal for paid family leave. scott, she is expected to have a key role. >> margaret brennan at the white house for us tonight. margaret, thank you.
