Shameful India did not push back on the military flight and send their own. Even tiny LATAM countries have done this. Shame on the Indian government.

Nothing new, especially from CNN(Clinton news network), who really hates President Donald Trump. These Indian illegal aliens are no different from Central and South American illegal aliens who were deported the same ways. These Indian illegal aliens committed crimes when they crossed the US border illegally, and just like anyone that were deported using military planes, these illegal aliens would be transported on shackles and cuffed. It's the standard procedure applied to all, even for American citizens. If the Indian government is upset about the whole thing, then they can send private planes to pick up their uninvited citizens back to their country. Plain and simple!!

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.

There was no need for chains,all they wanted was a better life,it it is also India's fault where are the job's here, desperation drove them there we are law abiding even in u k we indians dont steal a safety pin SHAME on trumph??

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.

Many many many Indians (even doctors are leaving the UK as they just cannot afford decent housing)!!

I have no problem with illegal immigrants being sent back—law is law. But what about the highly trained doctors, engineers, and CEOs who got their IIT/AIIMS education using Indian taxpayers' money, only to flee abroad for better salaries? If they want to stay in the USA, fine—that's their choice. But they shouldn't be allowed back in India when it suits them, nor should their relatives be allowed to demand their presence when needed. Instead, the Indian government should video-call them regularly, showing them all the new facilities and opportunities being created here, even planning a new city just for their return! Let’s see if they really care about India or just enjoy foreign comforts while pretending to miss home...

Many students leaving Canada came without proper research, seeking only white-collar jobs but ending up at Tim Hortons. Nursing, constrution jobs, rulal jobs, has no issues here, and there’s no need to go back. Still, many Indian parents only want to say their child is an engineer or doctor, not a nurse or construction worker—despite these jobs being well-paid and in demand. Canada is more than just Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary—there are entire provinces most international students don’t even know exist. Move there early, not at the last minute! Change your mindset, be flexible, and you will succeed!

She's making observations about Indians in Canada while\nshe doesn't even live in Canada ???

This is not just affecting indians even canadians are suffering. We are living on the edge. You live here to pay mortgage and die...and your kids have to continue to pay. Ridiculous. Don't come here. You not living. You running around and come home to sleep, not family live.

Not only indian even canadian cannot find job they give way to filipinos?????\n｛

The problem is throughout the Anglo World, USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, we are allowing millions of immigrants from the third world, when in fact if AI is going to take 70/80pct of jobs in the future we do not need immigrants from the third world at all. The fewer people we have, the more wealthy we are. The other problem is allowing immigrants from non-compatible cultures of people who do not share our values, culture, religion, or way of life, they generally live in their own areas, speak their own language, and do not/cannot integrate into society, most consider themselves as Indian, not Canadian because like for instance in the UK where we have similar or worse problems, they can never be English, or Scottish, or Welsh or Northern Irish. We are not and never have been nations of ''communities'', we are Canadian, American British, and Australian, but we are all connected in our Judeo-Christian roots, values, culture, and way of life, the vast majority of these third-world immigrants can never be part of what we are. That causes resentment, even jealousy, and one day it will end badly

West will answer & it boils down to conduct and behaviour.... Economic leverage ? People will understand that it's a Farce...wait and watch...\nEvery one wants others to invest in their country - that's how revenue is generated based on Tourism.\nBut many Indians don't conduct themselves respecting other countries ethos.\nRecently some gang of people were Chanting Jai Shri Ram in their Train...some set of people were peeing in open see - detained by their Police...\nBargaining in their market as their birth right - not welcome in their society.\nOf all the way Indian men look at Foreign women ... totally unacceptable by their society.\n\nThey can't tolerate these conduct even at loss of revenue...they have other foreign countries who can bring in the requisite income to sustain their Tourism...\n\n\nThe reason why Goa lost its Tourism and the reason why Passport lost its value - purely on inability to conduct oneself respecting others to support others.

I feel sorry for the Indian guy. He is still calm even though he was racially abused. I give my full respect. I hope he will be successful someday.

good thing is that even UAE is denying Indians visas as they come on visit visas & start looking for jobs illegally; stop abusing other country laws!!!!

Those r not Indians those r North Indians… south Indians r highly educated n work there through company transfers… even in south India North Indians r not welcomed… we never even rent our houses to them… but my pity u gave ur entire Canada to them…. I lived in Canada for 4 yrs… one thing I realised ur system is so full of loop holes… make visa interview a mandatory like US so that these Hindi speaking ppl don’t enter ur country.. I refused to be there because it’s just north India… ?

Put Chan to Indian even feets is wrongs, there's poor Indian was poor life in India, sho they came America Illegal way to make Some money ?, what was the wrongs, even American Military have base all the world ?

I want our Canadian stores to voluntary withdraw ALL AMERICAN GOODS ASAP and replace them Canadian or international replacements be it European, Chinese, Australian, Brazilian, African, Indian or even Mongolian! Economic boycotts and voting with our wallets is the only thing that will make psychotic authoritarian despots think twice and make no mistake he is!

The indieans to be blamed. Why? Because if you have an indian manager that manager will hire the indian over other race of people even if that indian is not qualified that is why we seeing indian all over the place in gas stations, subways, factories every working place. This is not right. This is just discremination and alot of indians are scammers just like nigerians

Palki Sharma is the very example of just because you can speak well doesn't make you smart. Wasn't she just making bs claims in Oxford that Indians were flaunting their passports and the immigration officer was a fan of India. Like seriously. Where does she even come up with these thoughts? Instead of reporting on real and prevalent issues around the country and making people aware of them, she's always concerned talking about others. A typical neighbour aunty. She probably lives in a bollywood script inside her head where she is the nationalist protagonist keeping the country together lol.

indians has bad reputation even here in Australia?

Funny how, you ban the best-possible immigrants you can have. They would even ignore the economic performance of these immigrants. The west has a habit of doing things upside down. Whatever is happening in Canada should not be blamed on the entire Indian-origin diaspora. It should be placed on Trudeau and JS's favorite migrants.

Don’t Indians have life?! Even rich come here. Despicable.

I may not understand people that transition but I respect them. Just because I’m not gay nor am I transgender I have respect for them as long as they’re good people but that goes for straight people too!\nI hate when people discriminate based on not understanding or respecting others. It goes even deeper than that. Disabled people are discriminated against, women, black people, Hispanic people, Asian people, Indian people,immigrants, and the list goes on and on.

Just Imagine, Biden and Harris Administration had the border completely opened for them!\nI mean, just imagine these people demanding to enter America illegally and demanding to get everything free! \nI’d difficult for me to even support my family let alone these people!\nI’m an Apache Indian, my ancestors have been here for Hundreds of generations and THIS IS what we had been fighting against! Stopping These Masses From Crossing!

I think there is one crucial thing that need to highlight, it is about behavior. Not even in western countries but in some Asian countries, Indian already known for disrespecting to local and do not obey the rules of the country that they visit. If you ask the hotelier, driver, tour agent or even attraction/tourism spot staff they already have a signal among each other if there is tourist from India coming. In many cases, alot of provider don't accept their booking due to the previous experiences from Indian customers. \n\nSo, it is not about economic power or purchasing power but more into how Indian carry their self when they come to other people land.

Indians will invade Canada ??. No one can count Indian. So many Indian , even Chinese, Pakistanis and Bangladesh together couldn't match their numbers.??

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

Even Bangladesh also rejects Indian visa

It's not even their country it belongs to the indigenous Indians

Thats it? Half of Canada is east Indian.. They should go back home to India. Canada has no room even for Canadians

I was in a flight from Doha to New York , 95% passengers are Indians that I even asked the cabin crew if the flight is bound to America or India ? Also, when I went to canada as if I’m in India ?

Good, stop making it sound sad cause canada does NOT want indians in Canada u guys are dropping out living standards to dirty streets to getting people sick by working in fast foods to even taking jobs from future kids

North Indians are dirty. Even we don't want them in Maharashtra also.

fake papers, fake diplomas, bad behaviour, does not integrate in any culture. Entitled , no manners, bad hygiene. I had visited many countries from southeast asia, UK, Europe, Canada, USA. Indians attitude still teh same opportunistic, liars, does not even queue in lines. bad bad bad people. Even locals in any country had the same impression with them.

Wasn't Palki the one saying how she personally experienced how Indian passport was being respected and revered all across the globe and even the immigration officer in Britain feeling a sense of awe and pride when dealing with Indian travellers? ??\nWhat a joke.

I am surprised that someone like Palki is asking this question. The West won't answer that? It's because of our behaviour, our fake documents and the scams that we pull. Why does the Indian government not address the fact that India has been running the world's biggest immigration scam? Punjab, Gujarat (emphasis on the rat), Haryana, Delhi, etc - the biggest scam running ever. 95% of them do not know how to behave in public and will gather enmass, no doubt a posse of fellow fraudulent immigrants with their fake scores and IELTS documents all paid for and forged by their fraud agencies, and then they make a mess in the foreign country that they go to. Start a F*cking chat counter and lay those stupid cots all over the parking area and then bring their entire family, who can't speak English or the language of that land and then roam around. Possibly even peeing and shitting on the street! Like they do back in India. They basic courtesy that the West take for granted, these country baboons cannot try to emulate, but they will act out the dumb dancing & acting tough of their fool actors in their favourite nonsensical Bollywood movie. The music, especially Punjabi music (those annoying repetitive tinga tinga tinga torture that they pass for music), their dumb chole batture and all sort of BS. These morons possibly want Hindi & Punjabi to be adopted as the new national languages of the West. Being Indian myself I would reject everyone. Or do interviews that check for so many things and then only accept them. We are now universally hated! Congratulations!!

you are kind of discriminatory while you make this video..There are bad people here from every country , china, middle east, africa, mexico and even europe. Even the whites here are not all original, they migrated and did shameful things to Indigenous people. There are Indians who have assimiliated here well including Ministers, Police, Scientists, CEO’s. All over in US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia..Yes you can make a video to request fellow people to stop doing such things. But that doesn’t mean you can shame us or type cast anyone. There is trash of every colour.

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

As an Indian Immigrant who left recently, here are few tips for Canadians:\n\n1. Not every brown person is Indian, I knew people from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka identifying themselves as Indians.\n\n2. Its not entire India but two major states, Punjab and Gujarat, with majority of aggressive actions coming from IMMIGRANTS from Punjab and not native Punjabis who are born and brought up here.\n\n3. Immigrants can’t vote, so majorly its not your fault and so is not immigrants fault but the Government that the CITIZENS elected brought immigrants for boosting their dead economy.\n\n4. Controversial but I will say it, Canada is a FRENCH country with English as its second major language. No others language is as prominent, So if you are sure that a brown person is an IMMIGRANT and they can’t even speak ENGLISH properly let alone French, 99% chance he/she is a problem in your country and does labour work.

Hundreds of thousand have come to U.S in last few years illegally or claiming asylum. U.S cities are unrecognizable. And india is not even a conflict zone. It’s just because they don’t ‘like’ living in India. They worship their ugly ass pm and bark all over the internet ‘India superpower 2020’ ??. So just stay there. In 80’s 90’s you see a shabby brown guy and guess it’s Mexican. Now you think it’s Mexican, turns out to be Indian.

Its because of how most of the indians who visit to western countries (in fact even thailand) behaves. Stealing hotel toiletries, towels arrogant. I heard one tourist yelling at a restaurant in lake district UK as he is a <<caste name>> and won't bow down. Poor intern student english guy didn't get what he meant. Reputation is very bad for most of the countries to be honest.

Indians need to learn to adapt and assimilate to culture and norms of the country they travel to. Even if just a tourist visa or for business, it still maters.

Exactly a point of media advertising. The prinary reason for us being shunned is very high even in countries that she mentioned are friendly clou tries the locals there look down on Indians as we are considered messy and ones who cant keep our garbage in our pockets

What is the point you get visa even when you don’t follow the law of land !! It will be unlikely that developed countries allow Indians. Don’t fool people by giving false information. Things of changed because of inflation and no country is ready to accept the illegal migration.

Indian seeking asylum ? How does that even work. Who are you running from, poverty ? It's absurd. Their country is safer than the whole african continent and half of the Middle East. I am in hyderabad now, i should seek asylum here and see if the Indian government will give me shelter and citizenship lol i highly doubt

This is just stupid journalism and very biased views coming from a respected journalist... Poor home work... \nWhy haven't you talked about the number of scam agencies in India (some not even having a proper license to run as an agency), why haven't you talked about the Indians who cheat, forge, and falsify their documents to enter the aforementioned countries, why don't you mention the number of indians who marry a white just for a visa or residency and divorce them, why don't you mention the numerous amount of chapris who go abroad and in every way possible just ruin the name of other honest hard working indians, why don't you mention about uncivilized behavior when Indians are abroad.. like have u ever entered a hotel room after another Indian has left that room.. even an animal cleans up their crap better after their done...

I am surprised. Here she talks about visa rejections and how India's passport raking has been falling. \n\nIn lecture given by her at Oxford Union she was all gung-ho on how Indian passport is now respected across the globe. And how even British bow to Indians and how other countries are welcoming Indians with folded hands.

These reasons may be applicable for few. But in general even if the visa applicant is educated and valid reason to travel, the visa gets rejected and no valid reason is given. \n\nEducation and civic sense issues are there, but not everyone is from that class, so cannot generalise. \n\nWe as Indians must learn to talk well about ourselves.
