Modi need to learn from Trump the art of deportation. Good work Mr Trump

India should shackle all those americans working in India and send them to the jails.

I remember in Matamoros 4 or 5 years ago a group of migrants stormed the bridge. I was crossing to work on a daily basis at the time and had to cross the BM Bridge because Gateway Bridge was where these clowns staged their protest. Barriers were erected, guns were locked and loaded and these scumbags put the CHILDREN in their group at the front, as some kind of shield. They disrupted the lives of a huge part of the city because so many of us cross on a daily basis, to school, work, etc. I've got several stories of how awful they were in the slum they set up in front of the bridge...

I am from Venezuela, we came in 1980, it took my parents 3 years to receive our green cards, my father used an attorney, we stood in line at the immigration office over and over multiple appointments, in regards to the lady saying she is from Venezuela my heart is with her because how bad Venezuela has become, but please everyone remember that we meaning US has been allowing them to come in this way, we been allowing it, it is completely wrong to do that, will you invite someone to your house unconditionally? No!!! Its by special invitation only!! Close the border and send everyone back where they came from, and this will stop!!!!!! Enough is enough!!!\nGod help all of our agents and military personnel who are working so hard to protect our nation!!! Bravo ?

I don't understand why my countrymen would spend so much money to get into the US illegally. To work menial/paid-by-the-hour jobs? I don't see the allure. They could've easily started lucrative businesses with all that money and live comfortably

Now you know how caste feels like. Aren't you guilty of disregarding universal rights and denying those in the lower caste to change their situation? If you want human rights then dont illegally enter other countries and dont trample on the rights of others if indeed you belive in human rights. Your police force alone is an embarrassment hitting people with batons for no reason. Work on your rights in your own backyard. You want your rights but dont respect the rights and laws of other countries. don't be one-sided

I work in corrections that is the way you transport people waist chains and leg irons

They need to know the country is not going to be a doormat anymore. And have they ever thought about working to improve things in their own countries because last I checked every other country is 100x more sophisticated than the US.

All your reasonings for Indian not getting visas are invalid or self serving for your Indian middle class Angrezi viewers. \n\nIndia, as U say, in the aggregate is indeed rising. But Indians — both padh and unpadh — have NOT risen and are NOR rising in tandem with India’s rise. \n\nWe see it all the time in places where Indians live in large numbers as in New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, the Bay Area… …\n\nMany Indians, even techies with all kinds of information on their finger tips when they sit in front of their computer screens, are unprepared on the local culture, ethos and traditions and history, just because thay have a loooong list buddies and relatives in their e-Rolodex on the day they land here. Their lack of curiosity in the local land is astounding. \n\nSecondly, getting rejected for visa is routine in many countries. They don’t haveto give you ANY reason why they reject your visa, no matter how well placed or well connected you are in India. \n\nIn my own case, I graduated from UC Berkeley, a premier internationally known school with in engineering with a PhD in 1984. Decades ago. \n\nMy education at Berkeley was ENTIRELY on scholarships and fellowships and fee waivers. \n\nMy family was not the so-called urban middle class living in 1, 2, and 3 BHK flats in urban India., or of land lords or of mid level bureaucrats, or judges or in the Indian corporate babudom . \n\nWe were from what is called in the US as working class. In India the terminology would be more offensive, “lower class.” \n\nFor my graduation, I applied for my mother’s visa (my mother, who became a widow at 39, raised us under great difficulties with a meager pension of INR 350. She had not gone to school beyond 5th grade and she had no ancestral property, not even a red brick in her ancestral home. \n\nMy mother’s visitor visa was rejected and to this day — I am in my 70s now — it hurts me that she was not present when I received my PhD at Berkeley, one of the top-rated int’l universities. They rejected her visitor visa probably because she had nothing to show as her assets in her application. \n\nBut later. with me getting a job here as a research engineer in a large corporation, my mother visited the US five times. \n\nNot only that, even my older brother and sister in law got a ten-year multiple entry visitor visa when the came for my daughters wedding. \n\nThe point I am trying to make to your mostly upper middle class internationally well connected viewers is that visas are ALWAYS a privilege, never a right, no matter how well placed and well connected in your home country. And how well versed you are in Angrezi and how good you are in your Angrezi accent, partly British and partly Amreeki. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman.

Wanted add here many foreign banks are coming in india and finding brilliant student thru camus hiring from this state only and using our bread and butter (our indian studant youth) for there work.\nInsted of they use, our indian government needs to find out and give opportunity for india success.

I enjoyed the USA when I lived and worked there, thanks for the memories. I returned for the wide open spaces.

The Australian government finally realize that majority of these visa enter in Australia are working in the 711 store and Petrol station ! own by their Indian Boss !

Every student who comes to USA for M.S. graduate studenfrom India pay only 1semister fee to colleges but they apply for 2 year tuition in Indian banks \n\nWhat is happening is colleges collect 1 semester fee and after 1st semester.\n\n students work part time at restaurants, gas stations, Motels grocery stoes. Mostly at non chain stores. \n\nLegally they are suppose to work on campus but they work off campus and earn and then pay for college. And some send to India they their friends illegally.\n\nThey travel up to 50 miles around to work. \n\nThese students work for cash and work for $7 to $8 per hour or even less.\n\nStore proprietors / owners tell these students if anyone comes for raid they will tell that they are working on voluntary basis and taking salary. So like this millions of students work illegally.\n\nAfter student comes out of college during OPT and stem OPTA they continue to work and approach consulting companies to generate payroll / trainee for no r a son just to give them status. \n\nDuring OPT these employers collect money to pay taxes and generate payroll and keep them to put them to work and maintain their status.\n\nThis does not stop here.\nH1-B workers who come from India on lottery 80% do not have clent jobs but they use back door and show that they have jobs and continue to pay taxes to show on paper that they are still working with a hope that they get jobs in future. And do part time work at restaurants, grocery store etc..\n\nStudents also stay in apartments in groups of 5 to 6 in 2 bed room unit and share and save money actual apartment lease is on only 2 people remaining people stay illegal.\n\nLandlord cooperation is there. \n\nthis situation is causing so much trouble to American citizens. Most Americans do not get a job even if they get paid low wages due to these unauthorized workers.\n\nCreate a department to report every local illegal student workers or H1-Bs or OPTs to ICE and disqualify them and cancel their visas.

Just want to say here something. I am from third world country too and came here few years back. Give an India a office job and pay them $12 per hour they would be very happy and give them $35 an hour and ask them to work outside they won't do it, because it is shame for them.

Its corporate greed which has trickled down into all areas of life. Rents, property values etc etc. No government can fix it in a democracy because capitalism gives greed the platform. Record profits during covid says it all. Recessions give a partial temporary reboot and depressions are devastating and take a long time to recoup from. I live in a rural small town, retired, own my house and debt free . Low property tax and affordable housing and rents but in the Maritimes. Cities are the worst to survive in. I feel for all that are struggling but Canada is a great country and better than most but one must be willing to relocate to areas that they can afford to live in and still have steady work.

In yellowknife Muslims are working all over yellowknife under Justin Trudeau corruptions power

Dear here only labour oriented jobs are available.even if u work 200 years u will still struggle. Pls don't expect heaven in canada

Haha, about time. They bring one person up as a case for all trans. No doubt given awards others weren't because of being trans we know how DEI works . One person doesn't make a case.

It can work for TransWorld Airway? Wait, it's extinct.

I worked in a slaughter plant way back in 2009 almost all the workers were from Ethiopia, Africa and Middle Eastern countries. They had signs that said no washing your feet in the toilet ?. It's was gross because it's where alot of your food comes from. I can almost guarantee there will be no more workers doing all the crappy jobs that illegals do. I wonder what the plan is going to be when Farm's can't pickup their crops inthe summer and meat packing plants don't have the man power to cut and pack all the chicken and beef we Americans eat daily.

Goes to show you how many South American countries are run by dictators and the average citizen I'm not talking about the criminal element who could also be women not just men are sent here. As I said before a man and his wife with children who want to come here legally to bring their trades with them and pursue the American dream and have their children enrolled in American schools work and whatever industry that they have experience with or schooling themselves are welcome. The individual very leery about just the men and just women coming across the border without family there's a subliminal message there very dangerous sorry to say and this is coming from a legally registered independent voter neither Republican nor Democrat

The Bible explains that there is a government that can and will solve all economic problems, including inequality. It says that “the God of heaven will set up a kingdom,” a single government to administer all of earth’s affairs. (Daniel 2:44) Under that world government, no one will be forgotten or left behind. (Psalm 9:18) God’s Kingdom will ensure that its citizens have what they need to be happy. All will be able to enjoy a good reward for their hard work.—Isaiah 65:21, 22.

What if they're from Nigeria, been on a work visa 6-8 years and found a American woman to marry them? Not right, they should have to get legal outside of marriage.

FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY be with guide and protect, those who are working to protect America and its people ??????⚖️?? and save the souls of the lost ??????????

Its just tht thy dont want useless immigrants in their country...comè in as tourist Visa n doing illegal job or not on Work permit may cause alot of crimes in e country..\nAs these immigrants from their country..e Govtmt hv not provide their own citizens of any policies...\nThese immigrants - r thinking its akways greener on other side..\nBut it proves wrong..

If 95% of the migrants are from ONE country, it won't work well.

They need to examine carefully the airports across the US. They will find thousands of illegal immigrants working there

If you are a Canadian but move to the USA and work there then you are not paying taxes in Canada so you are no longer able to be covered by our Canadian Universal health care, so that people that had podiatry care in Canada would have to pay for that!

I just watched a YouTube video of a young Serbian musician girl flying 14 hours to Jakarta just to visit the U.S. embassy for an interview to get her working visa. In her vlog, she was so happy that she was approved, and she plans to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music.\n\nShe is coming to the U.S. the RIGHT way…LEGALLY.

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

This mass deportation is only going to start the famine! people fail to realize the us has always benefited off immigrants will to work the jobs all the whites don’t want to work ?

Mr Trump is working For his country

more work making it work spent on this here than any other (close your eyes while i swamp). you still cant make what is AINT. FROM SHOULDER TO SHOULDER.

Ok.iff theyre not legal and contributing to society,eg working and paying taxes like the majority.charity should begin and end in any legal citizens own country.

It’s way more than a thousand African immigrants nobody must have taken a count of the numbers in Maryland it’s at least that many working as correctional officers

I am an Indian in America and Indians need to develop India ??, 1) Ending the Caste System 2) Industrializing the country such as Manufacturing, Logistics and energy India has a lot of Natural Resources such as coal and Iron 3)Establish trading Partners with US, Germany and UK, Brazil. They are very strong and smart countries with a lot of great companies that could be advantageous. 4) India needs to be more capitalistic to avoid a brain drain. 5) Indians need to eat more meat and work out more, you look at the Brazilians and Nigerians they are great MMA fighters. The Andrew Tate model is important.

All I see is a sea of working aged young men. A few women and children. My God when is enough is enough. These young ppl should know how to take care of their selves. Have they no shame. Why do they not fight for their own country there’s plenty of young men running to our border they can fight for their own country.

​​This isn't war, it's revenue policy. Tariffs up, income taxes and government spending down will work to Make America Great Again.

Work with Asia. Like China Taiwan Japan. There is no real friend in the world. Trump will cry once everyone work with China. He is pushing friends to the opposite side.

it worked the first time he instituted these tariffs in 2016, I suspect it will work again, because Canada and Mexico have no real leverage. they can say they will fight back with their own tariffs but its a losing game for them because, they are a luxury for us. we dont need them. they need us far more than we need them. and thats why despite grumbling they caved in last time. they will do the same, you just have to let them get it out of their system like a toddler and try and save face for a bit.

I don't think the average viewer knows why the US is doing this. They're trying to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl as well as Mexican compliance with the drug cartels.\n\nThe reason tariffs are being used is because America is in a very powerful position when it comes to trade. The american economy doesn't rely on trade like Canada (67%), Mexico (73%) and China (37%). American trade accounts for only 24% of its massive GDP. if you removed all trade from america, it would still have larger economical output than china, mexico and canada COMBINED. yes. Combined. \n\nFurthermore, Canadian trade with america account for almost 80% of all trade in canada. A 25% increase would be absolutely devastating to canada. In america its about 13% so a 25% increase would cost more but it wont have any significant impact.\n\nNo doubt this tarrif war will cause far more problems for canada mexico and china than america. By a LOT. \n\nI dont think america is being selfish either. China does nothing to protect america from sending precursor chemicals to america to manufacture fentanyl. Canada facilitates illegal immigration and fentanyl into america with no accountability. And mexico is illegal immigrants by the MILLIONS and is literally working with the drug cartels. If they sort out those issues the trade war ends. \n\nI think america has every right to go to war to protect its sovereignty and its people.

Its quite sad that they allowed this celebrated military personnel become a guinea pig to proove their cause and now he is forced to become the spokesman for why DEI can work in the military. Sad.

I mean really, if trump actually cared about drugs and illegal immigrants crossing our borders, why wouldn’t he actually try to work with Canada and Mexico instead of jumping straight to this? I mean sure, you could argue that Canada and Mexico didn’t help curb that stuff during bidens tenure. But this just seems like an unnecessary escalation that doesn’t even directly address the border issues. It’s all b.s.

There is a Chinese proverb - enemy’s enemy is my friend. Now China, Mexico, Canada should work together for cooperation and isolate the U.S?

don’t worry americans those tariffs will be paid by the imposed countries\nlike you think it works so there is no chance you will pay for the same things more from now on

As an American, I welcome all countries being threaten by Trump and his version of America to fight back. Arguing and reasoning with the other half of America isn't working for us. But maybe, a reality check by hurting their wallets will. Do it--don't hold back. Don't bow down to this wannabe dictator. The other half of America can survive--those who voted for Trump will not.
