He didn't say legal, he said ILLEGAL immigrants. But I don't know who they think are going to take those underpaid slave-wage jobs? I guess everything will have to become automated. But the grocery prices will definitely not come down.

Here's a crazy idea say no vacancy we don't owe them anything especially screwing canada worse than Trudeau already screwed it up the rules of immigration is they have to apply for asylum in the first country they stepped foot in, turn them away or watch the end of canada entirely!

Economic indicators say the economy was good. The economy and GDP grew, but the working class didn’t think so. Well, when the number of illegal immigrants per year far exceeds the number of new jobs per year, then the wages of the working class people will not keep up with inflation. Under Biden, the new jobs each year was an average of 1.2 million, but the number of illegal immigrants coming in looking for jobs was over 2 million people. For comparison, under Obama illegal immigration was just 300-400K per year. So as you can now see, the border crisis was a much bigger issue than the Democrats cared to admit.

How stupid is Dana Bash? When they say deport every illegal immigrant, that means every illegal immigrant. How does this dumbass have a job?

I didn’t even vote for a republican, but saying illegal immigrants should stay in the country because they work for pennies is just ridiculous. Maybe those rich business owners should be paying Americans a fair living wage.. obviously.

15 million illegal immigrants can into the US under joe biden? That's bullshit. That's like saying there was no illegal crossing under Trump. What even crazier is most Americans those that say cost was the biggest issue will be shocked when the chickens to factory have to pay $20 an hour and the cost is passed on. Must people ignore the workers in the hotels or in the back of the kitchens, landscaping etc and would not be happy working for those wages. These people live a life most Americans could not fathom. Let's see how that goes.

Yep! Indians have taken over Brampton completely?. The Canadian born children can't even get Tim Hortons jobs coz they have been taken over by International Indian students. Even Canadian born indians can't find a job at a fast food restaurant...what you say to that?? All the altu faltu, khachras from India are messing up all of Brampton that it does not even look like Canada any more. It might be an amazing and amusing thing for you guys, but it's a VERY sad day for us Canadians and our kids the day Trudeau and his clonies allowed Indian students immigration to Canada!!??

So bizarre that these immigrants think they are safe because they voted for Trump....did they miss the part where he says EVERYBODY IS GETTING DEPORTED....lol. they think that they won't be made to leave...ha ha ha ...IDIOTS ?

It was announced today on the news that the Trump initiative to deport all illegal immigrants will cost up to $1 trillion dollars. That’s a lot of moolah. Which will come out of our taxes. And the tariffs that he went on and on about. Companies aren’t giving out bonuses to workers for end of year. Because they have to save money now because Trump will impose tariffs on incoming goods. The workers didn’t understand they assumed the cost would be paid by importers. In reality, it will trickled down to American consumers who have to pay for goods. Economists have been saying during the election this is a bad idea.Trump tried to do it the last time he was in office and it didn’t work. So people be aware you think you can’t afford things now wait you won’t be able to afford anything. PS the government has nothing to do with price gouging for food and they don’t set the price for gasoline or electricity, etc. ????

So this mass deporation will cost $100 bil to achieve (some estimates put it at over $300 bil) and those immigrants pay approx. $100 bil in taxes (including paying into SS, which they can't use) and many of them do menial jobs for low wages that citizens do not want to do (unless you pay them more, which raises prices)... combine this with potential tariffs and this sounds like a foolproof plan for a recession with stagflation. I want to say Trump voters can FAFO, but unfortunately they are going to bring everyone down with them

I just want to say the immigration didn’t start with Trudeau, I came to Canada when Steven Harper was in power , I went to lived in a neighborhood were the entire building was full with Colombians, the same with other buildings . I have to move out cause I felt that I was living in South America .

Never say 'irregular immigration; again

Who is not an immigrant in USA? You found native Indians and colonized their country yet you have the audacity to say you will send immigrants back to origin. Including most of you go back to Ireland, etc.

It’s funny that she says “ take our country back” when the majority of white people don’t want her here whether she’s here legally or not l. they don’t like the color of her skin, her accent, nothing. If she got into an argument with some white guy at the local gas station, he would yell at her to go back to her country.. He would not care if she had papers or not. This is about racism, not immigration. DUH.

Everyone that will try enter here know they are criminals and Trumps sending their butts back. Mark Miller already says we will have a “measured approach” \nSo hear me out. Is this why Trudeau and Miller were pretending that they were going to lower immigration targets in anticipation of a Trump win because now we are going to get millions from USA? And they claim asylum saying big bad Trump is sending my butt back to Venezuela and my life will be in immense danger there, we already know Libs luv thugs.

Thanks cnn for exposing leftist racism on this thread. As a Hispanic I rarely see this done so openly. Illegal immigration doesn’t include just Hispanics. Saying all Hispanics including us citizens is not only completely false but a racist attack. CNN hosting these comments proves it is widespread. You can see it is. Hispanics are 43 percent Catholic and you guys choose abortion as your platform. It doesn’t take a genius to see it was a bad plan.

Many people have expressed concerns about potential labor shortages if undocumented immigrants are deported. However, my uncle, who owns a large construction company and several auxiliary businesses in a blue state, has a different perspective. He hires only legally authorized workers, verifying immigration status, driver’s licenses, and conducting drug tests and background checks for all roles, including maintenance and cleanup. He says he pays his employees well and has never faced challenges in finding reliable workers

I can see services and consumer products going up and of course you will have another liar in the WH press secretary room blaming the Biden administration for it. Same old story. It will probably be a story similar to the border wall, Mexico will pay for it. Where's the wall and when did Mexico pay for the part that was built? Ah, let's not mention that all those privately owned jails and detention centers (many owned by wealthy reps) will be ripping off the federal government/you the taxpayer. They will overcharge for lodging, food, blankets, you name it.  \nRemember, you might want deport all the illegal immigrants, but there are international laws as well. The countries that you might want to deport those immigrants might say, no. we don't want them. So, then, they become the responsibility of the US Government. Those people will be in limbo, meanwhile, we the taxpayers will paying for housing, feeding, clothing, them and their health care. \n\nOh, we haven't talked about climate change.... migration to the northern wealthier countries won't stop due to climate change. It won't stop here or in Europe. But, no many people are talking about it or preparing for it. \n\nNow the Reps have control of the executive branch, the congress (both chambers), and the Supreme Court is in his pocket. So, there will be no one to blame but themselves if they don't fix what they say they will fix: Immigration, ACA, the Economy, and more.

Illegal immigrants, not just people. The elections are over, CNN should learn to say the truth as it is

Quit spreading this crap already. he said he would deport ILLEGAL immigrants. That's it. Quit spewing your crap news. Obviously, the American people do not beleive a word you say..

It just amazes me how all right all these lefties were with all these illegal immigrants coming here even going to the point of inviting them and offering them Free housing free food free healthcare free education when people coming here the right way have been waiting years to become Americans working hard learning the language adapting to our customs and becoming Americans where these people can jump in line and just pass everyone up like it's nothing.... And now they're shocked that were actually going to send them back.... For those of you that say you voted for Trump now you get what you voted for..... That's kind of f****** the idea don't you think

As a trump supporter and I understand laws, am white Italian male from New York we need enforcement the laws deport illegals, great but he got a point, a live it by day mixed status families when I say mixed means your wife or husband are us.citizens and have American kids,children with husband or wife undocumented we should allow them to stay its around 500k people on this situation then the rest just deport them, my view is mixed status families is husband or wife are Americans born and have kids here they need to stay other mixed families like husband and wife are illegal and have kids they aren’t mixed status families because the father and mother didn’t born here no claim to stay here wait your kids be 18 them they apply for you to come back or the government consider them to stay here them they apply for numbers go to 5 million people and the rest send them home this is my 2 cents because in Europe if you are married to a European citizen you allowed to stay laws are different from country to country’s also trump mothers she was a illegal immigrate till she married trump fathers that’s fact google it ?

These simple minded individuals are not doing research\n\nHad she did research before Trump took office the first time she would have come across a video of Trump saying it would be nice to have a Country with just Blonde hair and Blue eyes People living in it \n\nWhen the Interviewer asked where would that Country be he replied why not America\n\nThat would leave her out \n\nHad she done her research she would know that \nChina has taken over Mexico as having the most immigrants coming into America \n\nI'm not against Chinese they have a right to come here \n\nMexican's aren't the problem Trump put fear into the minds and hearts of the simple minded Americans \n\nThis Country was built on the backs of Immigrants

Well we know she doesn't love her family. The way she says we need to take our country back makes me think she really believes Trump will accept her as an immigrant.

She does not even realize that she could be one of the many people Trump sends the national guard and US military after bc they would question the authenticity of her citizenship. I bet if she were sent to one Trump's Nazi concentration camps, she'd be singing a whole new tune about Trump. This just blows my mind! She obviously didnt listen any of the times Trump said that ALL illegal immigrants are criminals from drug cartels, MS-13, rapists, murderers, from insane asylums, Venezuelan gang members, etc., I didn't hear her say that her family members were any of those things but Donald Trump did.

Some people say that immigration has helped the economy grow, but do they have any evidence?\nGermany has continued to accept immigrants but has hardly grown its economy.\nAnd the best ones go to the US, and all the losers come to Canada, don't they?

just deceived by a new Indian immigrant, and it feels terrible. About 10 days ago, I posted an advertisement for a parking spot rental in front of my apartment condo. I then received a call from someone who said he had just moved here from India and needed a parking spot. I explained that parking spots here are rented on a monthly basis. He said that was fine, but he wanted to first pay only for the days from October 24 to October 31, and then he would pay for the following month. I thought that was acceptable, so I agreed.However, on October 31, he didn’t make the payment as expected. When I asked, he said he would pay on November 1. The next day, when I hadn’t received the payment, I followed up, and he promised to pay the following morning. By noon on November 2, I still hadn’t received the payment, so I messaged him again, but he didn’t respond. It was only later in the evening when he finally replied, saying he no longer needed the parking spot and that I could rent it to someone else. Then i asked how to deal with the rest of the payment of these days for the parking he already used, no reply anymore. At that moment, I really felt deceived. Why so much like getting smart with others?

Government should have done this much earlier , yes Canada may need immigrants but not those who can’t follow the rules of this land and the ones who thinks that they are still in there home country and don’t want to change them self . Rather I would say Canada should stop immigration completely from some specific country who are creating problems here .

I came to Germany in 2008 to do my Bachelors and later did my masters and working for 10 years now. Got my citizenship 5 years ago. Lets say i have to travel a lot due to my work.. If i move out of Germany, it would be only because of insane tax . I expected even a colder or harsher condition but since my expectation was soo low, it was all good.. At my work place, the working language is only German. I knew that before so it was not a hard time when i was thinking from time to time regarding the difficulty.. \nOne thing and most important thing, Even after getting your citizenship in Germany you are not automatically a German. You are just a paper german ( Even though i dont hold other passport ). I knew this before and it was not hard for me but for many immigrants who become german citizens, they will still be seen as an Ausländer .. Thats the reality which will take another decade to change.

The united states should send you guys all the illegal immigrants from Mexico then you could build more houses just saying

To hear the heartless words of this woman to say her family can be deported back is very cold. The same family members you would need as you get older who probably won't be there for you now. SMH. ?. To really think that man care about you. Every chance he gets with every nationality he wants to disrespect call names and that is not the American way. He talks about the immigrants in a very bad way lady I hope your vote wasn't cast yet ?

Imagine if she get caught up in all the deportation and she say I vote for you. The immigration issue need to be fixed while at the same time treat people with dignity.

What about the illegal immigration? People come to Canada under visitor visa and they can even work unionized, open bank account, get a credit card, build credit score, financing a car, open a company. Its crazy! How can it happens? \n\nThousands of YouTube channels (in many languages) teaching what to say, how to behave, how to lie to immigration officers at the airport when getting in Canada. Also teaching tourists how to get jobs, open bank account, etc. (how I said above).

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.

Only qualified people get employment in Canada. Young Canadians do not like to do low-paying jobs, so immigrants do more of those jobs and young Canadians do not have as much skills as immigrants have for high-paying jobs. Immigrants have no option to get success without hard work and skills. Therefore, immigrants work harder to get skills and success than the privileged native Canadian youth. So it would not be right to say that immigrants are taking away their jobs.

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.

Immigration is ongoing Colonization. And Canadians are MAD, because you have allowed for people from countries with HIGH RATES of pro-sexually violent cultural views, and low standards of hygiene and politeness into our country. And you let them come here as students and take up first world spots for first world Canadians. And FYI, there is tons of sexual violence on university campuses…so that tracks. \nYou let these people who are anti-dark skin into the country, and then you say because they are “racialized” they can’t be racist. That’s not how racism works, and I want my racists to be domestic, because then at least we share a cultural thread of unity: Canadian born and raised. Why are we being subjected to this B.S?? \nGOC has not created a way for us to report immigrants who are rude or abusive to Canadians, and who have over-stayed their visas. DEPORT THEM. When they commit crimes, instead of deporting them, you let them stay. They’re old women are also crooks and in on it. Imagine bringing the people who call and scam from Indian and Nigeria to Canada so they can just do it from here. Wild. And the Chinese (not Asians, I mean the Chinese)…are the colonizers of their part of the world, AND they cheat in schools. So you’re giving graduates spots to cheaters, liars, anti-Canadian, and racists. Canada never had a diversity problem, we had a supremacy problem, and we still do. And Canadian DOES NOT MEAN WHITE. So stop making this a race thing. \nYou let them snap up our houses and our land and jack up the prices, and force us into homelessness and prostitution to pay rent, and into drug addictions because of a lack of purpose. So the GOC literally just implemented the same strategy they used to place indigenous people onto reserves, but now it’s for all Canadians. And make no mistake: high rents for bento-box “luxury”/rat infested housing are min-reserves that are not built for Canadian bodies or our aging/disabled population. \nDEPORT THEM AND REFRAIN FROM GIVING THESE ANCHOR BABIES CITIZENSHIP. If they come here to have their babies, instead of giving them a Canadian birth certificate, you should be getting that certificate from their consulate. Cause at this point that’s just trafficking and financial fraud/abuse. We all know they come here to get the benefits and the domestic tuition, and a lot go right back to China. And it does seem to be the Chinese, Indians, and Nigerians (a lovely EDI mix) of thieves. \nCanada has spoken, we don’t want them, we don’t like them; and they do not like us, they want us out of our own country. This isn’t a racial issue; this is a cultural issue. You cannot have these anti-West people in our western nation. They gotta go. And who cares about the international students anymore or the money “they bring in”. Universities are registered not-for-profits in Canada, so the for-profit argument can’t track. \nCanada needs a RICO law so we can more easily seize their assets and expel them, and hold universities to the fire for this crap, and the government officials getting kickbacks. The GOC is the largest human trafficking pimps, and the universities are bottom bi***es. And don’t think we don’t know that the 30% cap DOESN’T apply to companies like Navitas who recruit for the universities, are housed in the universities, but are separate, private companies.

Wait did he just say business were asking for workers after Covid? Okay so fire ppl who don’t conform, then say we have an employment shortage and increase immigration. Businesses get tax cuts for employing immigrants, and schools can charge them whatever they want for tuition. Yeah that was a slight miscalculation. Ooops.

This is Canada In a nutshell someone comes to someone house “can I come in “. Sure put we are to to full\nBut I am sure we can stick you somewhere “ oh and here is a paper you have to pay taxes between 20% to 53% the more you make the more taxes you pay so if you make say 100k you pay 9.15% if you make 120K to 150K 11.16% if you make 150K to 220k 12.16% so you will never get ahead no matter how much you make lots of people find out how living in Canada is really like all they see are the mountains , rivers. That’s how they get you . Preety soon Canada will have 1 billion people ??. People that work on minimum wage don’t know how they are affording things ?. We need to cut immigration

It's not putting it on the backs of the immigrants. It's putting it on the back of TRUDEAU-Liberals. If your helping the immigrants. Help the canadians who have lived here our whole lives. Stop saying putting it on the back of immigrants- such a cop out.

Too late to change it’s too far gone as they say too little to late Canada will never be the same once those immigrants have babies and bring more in tooooooo late glad relieved I’m an expat for 25 years

I was called racist bigot for saying too many immigrants are coming in our country like 3-4 yrs ago from liberal friends on FB..and the thing is my parents, aunts and uncles cousins are all friggn immigrants who came here to the Peg from indonesia in the 60s ffs..

I know I shouldn't say this but every time I go to Calgary NE Costco, I feel like I was in another country. Many of them would randomly stop in a middle of moving traffic or cut into my path regardless of my existence... I feel I need to constantly dodge in order to avoid collisions. I am an immigrant too but I always observe my surroundings and try not to cause others to slow down because of me. If I need to take a break or stop, I park my cart in a non-busy spot... these should be common sense which is what the people are severely lacking in my opinion.

Trudeau is threatening India. Liberal is saying no more India immigrants

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

Y’all hating on this lady because she said her family should do it right. I’m not a trumper (definitely going to be voting Harris/walz) but I agree with her. I wouldn’t expect to immigrate to a different country illegally why would I think that was ok for others to do in my country? I don’t think she’s wrong for saying they should apply to do it legally like she did. -an Alaskan native

Her sound.\n Selfish, I got everything in the United States. Nobody should come work like she does. I don't even know if she's working just selfish. Trump, don't give you no respect. He said Mexican are rapers draggist called your roots. All kind of don't care about you. Are you still Mexican? Your country is Mexico. He doesn't care about you.\n I've been in United States over 30 years. I will never disgrace any immigrant like he did. You just selfish that's all I can say

Trump did not fix the immigration problem. His plan for fixing it, is to round up all the mexicans and immigrants snd ship them out. He doesn't want black and brown people in America. He never says anything negative abour white immigrants.

As an Indian origin person, I can say those students who have come in the last decade have arrived on dubious grounds. They just ask for education consultants to send them to Canada to anywhere possible, thus they go to substandard colleges and do low demand courses, like global business, culinary skills, pastry making, short bookeeping courses. These lead to nothing in the job market. Plus, they hardly study are working at labour or low end jobs. Then resort to “copying” and boasting about it. These students are well aware of all of this and further exacerbate the immigration issue here.

This woman is nuts to follow a man who says immigrants are poisoning the blood of this country, Trump is basically talking about her and I think she is wrong to be so unfeeling about her family.
