I don't understand why this is so controversial. Why should any of them be allowed to stay if they came in to the country ILLEGALLY? I was always taught as a child that when you do something bad, there are consequences that will follow. Are these people supposed to be exempt of that?

I have mixed feelings. There are people who are not criminals. \nUnfortunately, too many came against all terrible circumstances. \nHow is he going to know who is undocumented?\n\nUnless those people who came illegally have been processed into USA.how on earth will he know where to find these people. \nMany were bused and flown to cities all across the USA. \nI am in favor of criminals being deported, but if they came illegally, how did they even get here.\nAlso are they talking about people who have been here for decades. \nOther than hard criminals. Terrorists what will happen to these families when they are deported.Will they be killed?

Stupid people calling americans stupid for voting for the president they believe, this is utterly disgusting, Americans didn’t vote against themselves. The majority of the Americans voted against the stupid policies, Biden and Kamala Harris forced them to obey, they voted against the stupid war between Russia and Ukraine, that these poor people have to pay from their tax money they voted against all those illegal migrants who came to this beautiful country illegally and was benefiting from Americans tax money, this is not a warning. This should be called a celebration.

The poem First they came... was written by Martin Niemöller. It is a criticism of the way people in Nazi Germany did not stop the Nazi Party from treating other people poorly. \n \nThe poem is as follows:[1] \n \nFirst they came for the Communists, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Communist. \nThen they came for the Jews, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I wasn’t a Jew. \nThen they came for the Catholics, \nand I didn’t speak up, \nbecause I was a Protestant. \nThen they came for me, \nand by that time there was no one \nleft to speak up for me.

I went to McDonald's 6 months ago and there were at the drive thru 15 employees why ? And my big mack came out in 2 minutes who cooks a burger ? in 2 minutes i did not eat it .i was afraid.so why do we need these people to work the drive thru because are we laszy? ? Stop being lazy ?

It is quite crazy to see that immigrants themselves don't want to see other immigrants coming into the country to have a better life they once enjoyed when they came! What a hell is going on with people?

Thinking if they stop spending money on immigrants the govt will spend money on the people instead. No. The Gop will be cutting taxes and not investing in any infrastructure or social spending.\n\nThey literally forgot that cuban refugees received a lot of help when they came over in boats. They got theirs.

I can tell all the comments on this panel were made by President Trump's haters. Love all God's Creation, but, please, watch out for your neighbor. Help everybody you can, including the animals. All these people don't have to be in this Country. They have their own, why can't they make their country a much better place for them and their families to live. Look at the way they are acting. They came as guest, now they are acting like they are the owners. Are you so blinded by hate for this man who loves his Country so much, that you can't see the danger we are in with this illegals in our Country? What are you going to do when you won't have a place to live with your families or can't pay for your needs, because there are no housing or jobs, because everything that belong to you were given to them? What about the crimes they are doing in our communities. They are not here to HELP US, they are here to take what it's ours and replace us. There's not any worse than a blind, who don't want to see. These people are destroying our Beautiful Country and all we can do is hate this President, who the only thing he wants to do is save it for us. He doesn't need anything, we do need and we have to take care of what we have or we will lose it. Oh, by the way, we can't go to their Countries and live there, because they hate Americans. And we are a bunch of ingrates and don't appreciate the Blessings that God Almighty gifted us and President Trump is one of those Blessings, in Jesus Name, AMEN.

Itll be nice to have things for american citizens once again and nkt helping people who didnt earn nor deserve it and come to this country and rip off and free load and talk down on being here bc real immigrants who came here legally most agree this is indeed the best country in the world and opportunity and as a person of color making things happen instead of making excuses the dems downing of the american peopel got old of vote for me because we're the way is dead the in last 16 years 12 of those years have been ran by dems and only gotten worse as the year goes on im a pround California born and raised but left their bc of how bad its gotten happy where im at for sure god bless america and trump MAGA ?

This admin has let in over 10 million people, mostly not vetted and now they are trashing trump asking how he’ll fix this situation Biden and Harris created…. Btw family and friends in CBP, customs and ice have already came out saying they were instructed not to do their jobs in securing the border and enforcing the law…

There not in the U.S. to commit crimes, dont even make sense, why would a person go to the U.S. to work want to commit a crime? and then be deported, they came for work, instead of migrant, the U.S. needs to go after Americans who are the vest majority of criminals and gangs in gangland U.S.A, your deporting hard working mostly decent people and family's, they just exaggerate as to make stupid people believe these people being deported are real criminals, dont even try to deport criminals American to Mexico

It’s all a corporate governmental banking and human trafficking scam. Every person the government brings in, the government can borrow from the bank in the form of a bond! Once your visa expires, then you have to leave. And the company that brokered you to get you here requires a fee, plus they get a fee from the government as well. And the company that hires you gets a subsidy from the government. The company won’t tell you that there are limited jobs or housing. They won’t tell you that you can’t use your degree if you have one, when you come here. You have to go threw all the associations and organizations to be qualified to practice your trade.And that costs more money! Back in the 70’s and 80’s people came from many other countries, and within a week or so, you’d have money in your pocket from working a basic job. Now once you get off the plane, you are at least over $40.000 in debt. Your education cost double, housing is limited and expensive along with the hi cost of food and fuel for that expensive used car. Then you find out that you’ve been lied too by the brokers that got you here. And soon as you get your landed status, you get hit with the taxes! And if you have any children during your 5 years, the government tells you that you have to register them, so the government can create another bond, so they can borrow more money from the bank! The government gives you a birth certificate, but they own your children until you go to a court of law to get a certificate of custody! Because if you decide to leave after getting your landed status, the government may not allow you to take your children with you! Look up family court and custody law, once you get here, the government manages you on behalf of those who own you! You need to look it up for yourselves and understand that any western country that you goto is ruled by Rome. And if you came from a country that was once a colony of the British empire, you will get here a little easier, it’s a simple transfer because they have your record on file in the city of London. The place that is 1 square mile within London itself! That place that Rome controls! Yes! It’s a big scam and you are the product!

I came to Germany in December 2022.\nI work as an unskilled worker.\nI graduated from university, but I did not apply for a qualified occupation because my German is not B2 or higher.\nFor the first 6.5 months I shared a room.\nDuring those 6.5 months I applied for apartments and collected money. I found an apartment with the help of the application.\nI was separated from my family for 14 months, but we managed to reunite. We also found a place for our son in kindergarten.\nMy German level is A2. When I needed to, I used the English language in government offices as well. People also understood my level of German. None were angry that my language level was not higher, but I managed to finish everything so far.\nI can say that all my experiences so far have been positive, I tried to respect my appointments.\nIn perspective, it would be beneficial for Germany to use English more because a qualified worker, if he has to choose between a country with English or Germany with German, will choose English first.\nThe German language is wonderful, but the world simply works in English and that's how it is.\nAlthough it would also be useful for those of us who came to Germany to learn more German for better business opportunities. Investing in knowledge and openness is beneficial for all parties.

Yes I voted for putting people who came here illegally back to where they came from yes correct. What’s the issue myself and Trump as well said LEGAL IMMIGRATION is a welcomed and needed thing. But don’t try to calm any fears keep on fanning the flames.

What they should do is hit pause on immigration. I believe they should grandfather in those who arrived prior to a specified year.\n\nI’m sure the majority is ok with immigration. JUST DO IT LEGALLY and for the gov to stop over extending our taxes and money. \n\nAmerica should come first. Americans have been put on the back burner while illegal immigrants get way more help which in turn hurts the very people who were born and raised here. We got people and children starving in this very country yet have a helping hand for those who don’t live here, came illegally or even like us. \n\nSo put the pause on and help Americans then help others. Other countries have stricter policies than we do and they’re thriving. and I believe don’t have as many issues as we do. \n\nAmerica leaders need to look into how other successful countries are running things and see how they can implement or improve on those.

If you came here illegally, you are out of here. She has the balls to speak the truth, and people don't like the truth.????

I still can't understand Hispanic people who support Trump. To him EVERYONE with an accent is an illegal that needs to go back where they came from. I'm from an area with an ass load of Puerto Ricans. And a nonzero number of them love Trump for some reason.

It's amazing how easily people forget where they came from..disgusting ?

I PRAY THAT THIS LADY WILL NOT REGRET TURNING AGAINST HER PEOPLE. ITS NOT WORTH IT AT ALL. PLEASE STOP TALKING LADY AND TRY TO REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM. NO MATTER HOW YOUR FAMILY CAME HERE THEY STILL ARE YOUR FAMILY.

Didn’t some Indian billionaire have a huge weeding in India way can’t he spread his wealth around ? we don’t need more Indians in Canada we have more then enough already my parents came to Canada in the 70s for there dr degree and had good jobs know people coming to study don’t really study just us it as a loop hole that’s the real problem. And they all go to Brampton Trudeau messed up immigration big time. The numbers of immigrants coming in is to high. They should have did this 10 -20 years ago to little to late. We don’t need more Uber drivers. It’s going to take years for the numbers to go down the houses are still to high things are to expensive

Elon Musk should be sent back too. He's a South African born immigrant and came here on a student visa which he later ditched to start his first company. He was here illegally!! Many people don't know that. Fucking hypocrites!!

So here is how things will move on going from here, and this goes for people reading the comments. And full disclaimer I live in Victoria, BC so I can share my POV from the Canadian side:\n\nThere's toomuch of low skilled cheap labour coming in from Punjab and other countries like Nigeria, Philippines, etc. Its gotten sooo bad now that even Indians living in Canada are feeling like this is not what we came for.\n\nI can't even start with how bad the immigration has gotten, people can barely and I mean barely speak English and they are working for all possible low skilled jobs. Tim Hortons, Uber delivery, Uber Cabs, Petrol pumps I mean what is going on.\n\nRight now its getting to Canadians, and you need to understand that Canadians need these low skilled jobs for themselves too but employers are finding extremely cheap labour from other places to replace Canadians.\n\nSo if you ask me this move is good, it will surely hurt the skilled labour class too but its needed. Imagine have a million immigrants coming in with a country that has a population of 40 million.\n\nThe infrastructure comes to a stand still, housing is ruined, food inflation begins. \n\nHonestly thanks to Diploma mills, Asylum seekers and gangs from Punjab, its honestly gotten bad from the Indian perspective. Now add to this others coming in from Africa and South East Asia and you can see this country get worse honestly.\n\nThis isn't hate against anyone, its just facts.

He's gonna deport people who came to the USA illegally. That's not ok.\n\nWe need to let all people in, regardless or the crimes they commited and if they went through the immigration process.\n\nThat's why you should vote for Kam.

She wants to take this country back. She's an immigrant. This is not her country.??? This is the type of people we do not need in this country. When she came to this country she stood in line for her green card. Meaning she came here illegally and then applied for a green card. I'm not sure who she thinks she's fooling, other than herself

I also came to Canada in 2006 as an immigrant with my 2 bags and started my new life with empty handed which almost all Indians had started on their time. Yes it’s very hard to adopt other cultures 100% for first generation. But have you think how this new immigrants have their own house and good jobs or business. Why their kids achieved higher education without any loan because their parents worked 7 days without looking around so called culture. They believe in work hard and focus on their family and kids and in extra time visit temple or Gurudwara just to keep live their believes. Do you know how many places where you find 3 times free hot food for everyone in Brampton at Gurudwara and Temple without looking at his originality. \nDon’t think the immigrants are coming here are poor in their country or helpless like refugees. Most of are millionaires in India but in Indian culture the stupid thoughts is to earn for next 7 generations so because of that greediness they work here 7 days and that’s why they are not homeless. As they have some values of their Indian culture they have not drug addictions.\nNot 100% Indian are good and loyal or honest. There are few which you can find in any culture or religion.\nSo in bottom line immigrants are here because of govt policies and invitations. They are not came as refugees. You can’t forced anyone where they have to stay and in how many percentage. Many people don’t live in GTA or ran away from GTA because they can’t afford house and can’t stand in competitive market. Government should skilled own citizen or make more powerful before invite highly skilled immigrants from other countries otherwise new immigrants will take jobs from original and that will be continued with us too.

I know a lot Mexican people like her, she is only supporting him out of fear, or think they are white...she must have forgotten why She came to the United States.Vieja sin verguensa ! Que piensas que trump te va llevar Al Cielo con ESA cara de NOPAL. ? (What are you thinking trump is gonna take you to the sky ?... With that cactus face). ?

Oldy lady calling canada Home when That Land Is truly based on native People this oldy Great Grandfather came Keeled those native people steal their lands now living freely, then bark at indian who came legally in canada

This guy is right for the most part. A gov't telling the world to come in and not integrate or learn English is a big part of the problem. Then there are Indians who exploit Indians overseas. The thing too is the bad people coming now get so much free stuff. The rest of the immigrants who built this country had no programs yet have to pay for the newcomers who are changing the country. So some things aren't the Indians fault. The rest of us who came and adapted now face discrimination from newcomers and our own people who say Canada has no culture. I come from a time when foreigners got along for the most part. Now so many groups that all hate each other. We came here to get away from the crappy people in our country but now they have followed us here and turn the good land bad.

It's Not enough and this was Not Fair! We came here in this country and vetted for 6 years by Immigration and all proper education requirements met. My mom worked so hard to be able to come into this Country when I was 14yrs old, there were Rules and Criteria. Now, it's all a Joke. People can come into Canada without proper oversight and Money works. As long as you have huge sums to pay, they let you in, easily, 3months you get Permanent Resident status, we worked hard for 6 years, even doesn't matter if you're a criminal from back home, they let you in, as long as you have money. No proper Vetting process! What has this Current government done to this once great country? They ruined this whole Canadian immigration dream for everyone. My family feels angry and cheated on! I worked 3 jobs since I came here young upto this day 26 years later, pay my taxes and these 'cheaters' get paid social assistance. Very Shameful Canada!

Lady do you think you’re special because you came here legally? Trump is a bigot who only wants white people in our country. MAGA is the latest iteration of the KKK.

Yes, white people came to the new world and conquered the natives. For the next few hundred years they built western society as we know it. They were immigrants from different places, but they were mostly homogeniously white, and more importantly, they had commonality in their social norms, holidays, cultures, laws and religion. Mostly English, Irish, Scottish, French, German, polish, etc. -- they blended well and eventually created their own unique shared identities in Canada and United States. Things were stable and people were happy. Immigrants continued to flow, but in smaller numbers over greater lengths of time. This allowed time for integration, learning the common language, finding decent employment and housing, ect. Then Immigrants from vastly different cultures started arriving and in greater numbers, and greater rates... Job availability, housing, educational/medical services, travel infratructure could not keep pace with the sheer speed and amount of people flooding in. Therefore, everything and everyone suffered, and it isn't stopping.

Honey, if you are visibly and audibly Latino/Mexican (you are), you will be targeted somehow under Trump. Even if you don't get deported, you will be harassed by white people telling you to go back where you came from. I guarantee it.

That old lady is absolutely and outright lying. First off, she stood in lines for hour or days to get her green card? That means she came at a time when immigration was much easier and wanted, to increase gdp and to do the jobs normal Americans didn’t want to. Now, immigration takes forever, many years in fact, because the older republican white generation figured out that they yet again the minority, which has never actually changed. But republicans now use the immigration card because it’s literally their only option, why do you think Trump stopped the bill. He would be losing so much support. Also, for that old Mexican lady to say those things about her own family, tells me, she is not someone who cares for others or may even care at all. She became a racist just like the republicans and her family should be ashamed of her. Lastly, different times of immigration, this time around, those leaving other countries are trying to save their families lives, having to deal with authoritarian dictators, drug cartels and corrupt governments. She may have had some of that, but I doubt it, she just wanted to move here and make a better life for herself, screw her loved ones. She is an abomination and one of the reasons this country has lost itself, if a Mexican immigrant cannot feel sympathy or empathy for those people in a very similar situation than that person has truly been corrupted by the republicans “all about me” mantra.

Exactly one of the people latino that comes over and forgets the troubles and struggle to get threw , once they here , fuck everyone else , just like this lady right here , she saying it's ok , cause hating on her own family , sell out! To her family sell out to all Mexicans that are here and still helping out this county , ND these people sadly are in my family too , sometimes i gotta show them old ass pics how they look before they came here all chunty AF nd now they go wit mamadas like this Kamala 2024

Please consider that anyone can become a refugee, stop telling people to go back where they came from. There are so few cultures already that are welcoming of neighbors in a crisis. Stop speculating who is legal or who shouldn't be, it's honestly evil.

Some people came to canada some years ago , killed the natives, captured the land and now asking to go back to the people who came here lagally and became citizens.

F*ck me and this lady is heartless! This is a true cult at this point! My grandma came to a country legally but always taught us to have empathy…. Makes me literally feel sick!\n\nPlease people vote Harris who will support all sides rather than Trump who will only support people that give him something in return. \nIm shocked and disappointed at this point.

Good, stop it all together. Its affecting everything!\nSo many africans and south asians came to the country its like if the agents at the head of these immigration centers were basically from these countries and got all their people in.\n\nI havent seen any French, Turks, Greeks come into the country even jf they have a rough economy. But we got a influx of the areas I named above.

They increased 500% and decreased 20% what a joke… stop it already 12 millions people came to Canada since liberal NDP Trudeau Jagmet

we don't need that many people because newly graduate Canadians don't have job for very long time and lot's of criminals came thru

It doesn’t matter to him whether you came here legally or illegally - he said you are “poisoning the blood of our country”. He only wants white people from Norway and such. You are immoral. The Bible clearly teaches to love your neighbor (not only if they are “legal”) and welcome the stranger and the refugee. There are no illegal people in God’s eyes - only human beings deserving of a better life - just like the one you came here for, and the one my Irish ancestors came here for.

This arrogant fool does not even know what his role is ??. He like to act like a spoil child well he must of be one since all he does is disrespect anyone who calls out the Liberals corruption. Let me guess it's the provinces fault that we have so many immigrants that they brought to support their next election. Do the math people it takes 3 years for them to get citizenship for anyone who came to the country in 2021? And we are having an election in 2025 it's all the time they need to gain voters, why the narcissist Trudeau just showed his back benchers he doesn't care what they think cause he is hoping for those new Canadians to back him up next year.

Yeah, because you’re a heartless b****. Good grief. The envy these people have is disgusting. She doesn’t even realize she’s amongst people who would tell her to “go back to where you came from”, when not wearing their Trump costumes to identify themselves. What an idiot.

I live in the United States and I’ve met lots of Canadians who visited the US have come down to live here\n\nI have to admit I’ve only been to Canada twice in my life\n\nI have immigrant family, who lives in Canada and my European Background mothers family came from Montreal to the US over hundred years ago\n\nNeedless to say, I’m familiar with Canadians that I meet here in the US\n\nI am aware that many Canadians superficially to Americans look like Americans, but aren’t and I know from Canadians that they find the lifestyle in parts of the United States, a little bit too intense and experience and expectation\n\nWhat you will find if you look at Canada’s past, history is a trail of Canadians. Who’ve had to come down to the US for employment opportunities as Canada has time not being able to provide the opportunity and sustenance for their population.\n\nI would have to say that perhaps maybe prior to the 2010’s Canada was doing very well and providing quality life for their population and their citizens and the residence\n\nWhat you find out personally is that is being mismanaged when it comes to immigration capital investment in industries And worst of all, not being able to ride housing in a place where exposure to the elements could be certain death for some people\n\nThere user based national health system seems to be freeing and not being able to provide the services that they once provided, which is also something that’s really troubling\n\nAnd now I hear that they have problems providing food at an affordable amount\n\nI wish you well and fighting a place that gives you better comfort and opportunities to grow and affordable lifestyle\n\nI can’t say in the United States you’re gonna find better you’ll find certain cost of living items a lot more affordable, but we do not have a safety net when it comes to healthcare

Ask this Karen to go back to her country. Every one is an immigrant in Canada, tell her to read some history. French /British/Dutch/ Spanish came as invaders and destroyed the natives and rest of the world immigrated over centuries because British wanted people to settle in there to create an economy.

The way she said “I want you to go back” with full confidence as if she’s queen elizabeth lol. She should be the first one to go back then because she came to indigenous people’s land.

. Canada relies on immigration for pretty much everything 1) colleges make money 2) landlords make money 3 ) government makes money from more taxes 4) banks make money from more mortgage applications 5) realtors make money . And they know majority of international students goal is to later. Buy a house Punjabi people own more real estate then most people in Canada combined. Canada government just uses the taxes the more people\nCome the more taxes people\nPay . Don’t forget Canada was not a white man land it belongs to the indigenous people . We are all immigrants from somewhere people get scared of what they don’t understand. Every community has their far share of bad apples. As I agree we do need to have a a tighter immigration system it’s not good when there are to many people\nComing from the same country . And the things the new comers do just make the community look bad People that came to Canada -30 years ago have gotten respect know all that went down the drain .?‍♀️

She selfish ,,, she came here suffer and \nWill to see her fellow people deported ??

I’m an immigrant and a woman. Where I came from there is no democracy. I know what dictatorship looks and sounds like. Those people who forgot how dictators emerge nauseate me! \nAlready voted - all BLUE! ????

Wow that lady……I have no words for her. She came here illegally and was able to get a green card and now is voting to have her family deported. What is wrong with people? Glad her family has abandoned her for being a cult member.
