How exactly do you expect me to fit in? I've spoken English and lived here since the age of 2. I celebrate Halloween and Christmas but not Pride Month, and I don’t eat Canadian food regularly. If fitting in means doing all those things, then I have questions. I thought living here meant I could eat whatever I want and celebrate the festivals I like, such as Eid or Diwali, without anyone interfering. As long as I’m not causing trouble—which I never do—why should anyone dictate how I live?\n\nBeing '100% Canadian' is impossible for me because I prefer staying true to myself. This has been my country for a long time, so telling me to 'go back' makes no sense.\n\nAlso, let’s not forget how Canada’s history involves forcing European traditions onto Indigenous people. In the end, aren’t we all dealing with the same issues? For example, I’m not coming here telling anyone to convert to my culture, eat my food, or join my festivals. I respect others’ choices, and I expect the same respect in return.\n\nAnd by the way, if anyone feels 'forced' by certain communities, like Khalistanis, maybe that’s something to take up with your government—they brought those people here, not us. those are the the one in no fly list that your gov decided to take in and give them citizenship and causing trouble and being violent

It's easy to go back to their home country which is india not canada .

Canadian expat living in Asia. Just returned from a visit to Canada. While spending time with family and catching up with them was awesome, I couldn’t wait to be back in Asia. I’m enjoying a lifestyle here in a tropical beach that would be unreachable in Canada. Eating out all my meals, going out, attending cool events, flying frequently to nearby countries for a weekend or week or weeks at a time. Eating clean healthy food, meeting inspiring and friendly people. Typing this from the beach on a Sunday morning while enjoying my big freshly squeezed carrot juice cup that I paid 60 cents for! \n\nCanada only for visiting once a year. \n\nSave money, work remotely or better yet, learn a high income skill and live anywhere while making money online is the new FREEDOM PLAN. Get on it while you can!

‼️Take back Canada‼️Did you hear Hong Kong pathway policy? \nWe are local citizens. We are not satisfied with the hk pathway policy, why can they enjoy the same benefits as our locals ? \nIn the past, people who applied to become a PR had to wait at least two or three years. During this period, they had to pay international student fees and then transfer to a work permit step by step, or join the investing immigration program, and then start to enjoy the benefits after becoming a PR. However, as soon as the hk pathyway people landed, they enjoyed the same benefits immediately as the locals(liked free education, local student fee for university, Child care benefits) which the locals felt were unfair. The days they (hk pathway people)contributed in Canada are very short, and the benefits they receive are far greater than the taxes and contributions they pay. The locals just feel that the benefits they enjoy today are indeed the contributions they have made to society (including paying taxes) over the years. It is reasonable to get a reward for how much they have paid and contributed, but it is unfair for those Hk pathway people to enjoy the same benefits as locals. \n\nThe hk pathway temporarily policy need to be amended. They shouldn’t receiving full benefits as locals while waiting for PR, they should pay the international student fees. Also, too many hk people abuse this policy, use fake academic qualifications to study, and then their whole family receives CCB , also enjoy local students is unfair to our locals. By the way, most of them after getting the PR they will go back to Hong Kong,they have no intention of staying here and make contributions to our country.\n\nThe HK pathway is a temporary policy. The immigration policy can be revised at any time just liked study permit has mandatory amendments and additional condition recently . The Hk pathway can also be amended.

Lol he said if you weren't born here you are going back to your country you were born

Mexicans are funny, most of the western states were originally yours talking about take your country back ?Europeans are not from North America at all lady but Mexicans are. You're on the wrong side going against your own people.

Some of us are 6 th generation or more so don’t have the connection to the old country, this will happen to you also, your children will eventually integrate and not want to go back to the old country, be ready for that.

Us conservative's DO consider her American. This IS her country. And no- LEGAL immigrants are NOT going to be deported. They feel the same way about legal immigrants as they do illegal ones, yet both Trump and JD's wife's are legal immigrants? Lol. This comment section is laughable. Good for this lady for standing up for what is right regardless of who gets mad at her for it. She didn't turn her back on them; they stopped talking to her because she supports Trump and believes in following the law. Tgat's whats pathetic. ?‍♀️

Ohhh if it was her own child I’m sure she wouldn’t be saying that’s ok.., there are many like her out there. They get those papers and they think they work for the White House. If she would’ve visited Mexico and had a kid while visiting and didn’t have the money for a green card it would have been a completely different situation. For those just because you got your papers do you not think that there are people that came here as infants or kids to immigrant parents that came to work to provide for their kids it’s not that easy to get your green card it cost thousands of dollars. Many immigrants that I know and worked with including myself, I came here as a refugee. Immigrants are the hardest working people I know. Unfortunately a lot of the ones that came here as kids grew up in some neighborhoods that are not so great and mainly are kids that were born here that are in gangs or doing drugs or violent so don’t blame immigrants saying they bring all this with them it was already here … drugs gangs violence was already here. Gangs started in the White House with their red and blues. Then they say they are taking all the jobs.. the jobs have always been here but people that are citizens are too lazy to go get jobs or keep jobs ( not all citizens) but the ones that are complaining immigrants usually come from villages without any media or drugs or gangs ect. They simply come here for better opportunities or for jobs. They come to work not to freakin take your jobs… this country everyone is a damn immigrant this country was taken from the natives taken with violence by killing them , rapi!’ Them. And people sit here and say we are here to take back our country… ohhh please stfu!!!!! \nMajority of crimes were committed by our Americans but they look for immigrants and pin their crimes on them… Donald Duck is a damn immigrant he needs to stfu and go to sleep with his pu&@@@ grabbing tiny hands… shame on anyone that supports deportation..

What about Trump and Vance wifes they are immigrants as well and do they have to go back to their home country or they don't count because they're special

If she wants her country back she should go back to her country Mexico

Best of luck with that idiot. You will be taken apart . Go back to your own filthy Medieval country.

The system is skewed up . Trump is right on spot . Many come in on visitors visa work here as health aides go back to their origin country and come back and eventually claim fake asylum

I would love to see her face when she's told: go back to your country!! ?

NO SHARIA LAW IN CANADA..GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY IF U WANT SHARIA LAW❤❤❤

And anything she has going on should not be supported she should go BACK to her own country

Haha good. Get all the illegals out. You don’t belong here this is not your country. Go back to your own homeland and fight for your own rights. Don’t just assume you can come here and just get shit given to you. Thank god Trump won election. Democrats and liberals have ZERO spine when it comes to the border.

Their children eat free school meals and get valuable education dollars afforded to them in order to teach ESL English, where we cut music and arts budgets to our own, while their children smell like their weed after they drop them off at school in America, from their Escalade with shiny rims and their last name in old English printed on their back window of the fancy car they paid for with cash money they made by loitering in parking lots, only willing to hide under the radar and do cash-only work so they can continue having children for families that we feed, house, insure, provide dental and orthodontic care, social support, as they suck our local food banks of stock and take our local christmas tree programs for presents for all their kids, then send their cash back to more people in their country or give it to cartels for bringing them here. It's been going on for decades, and we are tired and broke and struggling ourselves. These people are professional public assistance fraudsters who float around under the radar, getting away with robbery. Get them all out!

There is NOTHING wrong with this. Why does she keep asking him the same thing over and over? They NEED to go back. They entered ILLEGALLY, why SHOULDN'T they get sent back? Come on, people. COME. ON! No other country is allowing them to just walk in this way, why should America do it? This is stupid for people to be pressed about this. They NEED to leave.

I am a double hater cant stand Trump and I am a farmer, i dont use immigrants because i just grow crops that can be mechanically harvested and I have a small farm, But in the past I used to manage large farms where we had a lot of immigrants most were illegal and people don't understand why they're illegal It's because there is an arbitrary cap on how many migrants can come from Guatemala and Mexico if they wanted to come legally just a normal worker They have a 60-year waiting list so it's just impossible to come here legally. Most of these people are very hardworking good people that come here to work for 5 to 7 years save up money and then go back to Mexico or Guatemala build a house and start a business in their own country. \n\nThis year i begrudgingly voted for trump because for me the biggest issue is with the federal and state regulations that make farming much harder than it needs to be especially regulations on diesel engine emissions that cost me tens of thousands of dollars a year and many months of not being able to use my equipment that I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on. And Kamala was the one who enforced the CARB emmisions standards that diesel engine manufactures have to comply with to sell into California which is the biggest consumer of these engines. \n\nLike right now I have my pickup truck that's been down for 6 months because of emissions problems and so many of the vehicles have emissions problems that the parts to fix it don't even have an ETA because they need to fix so many trucks and I have two other tractors broke down that I can't use all my friends that are farmers have a lot more and dems want to significantly increase emmisions standards in 2026. \n\nYou simply can't grow food at scale without reliable diesel engines There is no alternative The vast majority of food is planted and harvested mechanically in the US The bigger issue with food is not well illegals get deported It is will the diesel engines run to harvest 90% of the calories in plant them. \n\nWe have robots that can milk the cows most of the things that migrants harvest can be harvested mechanically and they are in other parts of the world It's just cheaper to do it with labor once that's not the case it will be mechanized. I would prefer to keep migrants here but give them legal working status if they have productive jobs and they pay tax.

Going back to a country with Law and order and a respected border. If you come to the United States illegally you will NOT be allowed to stay. No Exceptions!!!

“Our country,” lmaoooo okay. They have told you and people who look like you that it isn’t your country! An indigenous person posted years ago when a Trumpie told them to go back. They were here first!

We are in debt we have our own Citizens going with out and the illegals getting everything get rid of the trash and start taking care if our own back yard but states don't have to support seeing how is federal and illegals can go any where in the country just means more ICE against in sanctuary states to focus on driving offenses seeing how illegal can get license in some states and so on so forth

Get them out, then they turn around and come back in illegally. Plus, where are they going to take them to? They gonna drop them off at the airport in their country are the countries gonna allow American planes to land there? There is so much more to it. What about abandoned properties and homes that people can’t afford to pay for because your family members are deported or cars that are left on the street because they’re deported jobs that aren’t filled anymore who’s gonna fill them because they’re deported there’s so much more to this what about just trying to make more people legal in America? We obviously need the workers because a lot of Americans don’t want to do what they do. There’s gotta be an easier way to do this.

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?

People still don't realize the tanked economy that was handed over to Biden. Now Trump's going to do it again and several different Fashions to where he leaves this office 4 years later with such a f***** up economy and a f***** up deficit. That's too tanked economies handed over by Republicans to Democrats to where the Democrat had to eat it all and eat all the unjustified opinions from the American public and the Republican Party. The cruel strategy of the Republican party has hurt every American in this country for the past 15 years because they want power back so much that they'll hurt the previous administration and American citizens on purpose. It's on record

How Trump going to get their country to take them back? It is going to cost. He doesn't care it's spending tax payer money. Joe let them in Trump kicks them out. ???

Do they really expect people to go back to their countries on their own?? It's not gonna happen. They WILL have to spend billions of dollars to deport them.

If they all get deported, we will not have workers. Our country will go belly up if we lose those workers. We don't have the money to find and send all the illegals back. He didn't build the wall in 2016, how is he going to build the wall this time? I hope he builds a border wall on the Canadian border as well. We have a lot of illegal White folks coming from the Canadian border. Trump hires all foreign people for his companies by using H-1B Visas, too.

The thing is his maga people think that they are free of his deporting orders and like all Americans will be the ones paying the millions of dollars it will take to do that. It will be another fail like his wall.So is he going to send the Americans back to America who have illegally entered other countries especially his good pal Musk who entered on a student visa and within months chose to break the laws America had in place to stop laws being broken

Cut off all the welfare and free housing immediately then start a go back to your country program. Once they get cut off from all the free stuff they will want to go back to their country! Joe biden and Kamala has destroyed this country and CNN knows it too ? Allegedly

Human right obligation? What about our human rights? They shouldn't have been let into Canada in the first place without due process. They weren't coming in because their country was destroyed. We already had too many homeless citizens here because of Trudeau and the Feds and their policies and mandates, which the people of Canada will change very soon. Sending our manufacturing overseas and making business and people's lives unaffordable and funding Wars. The people can go back home and fix their own Countries, then will talk.

I wish the native of this country would tell all the white Europeans to go back to Europe and come back legally!!! those white European ancestors came to this country on ships committed genocide, grape and tortured. The native of this country. Donald Trump ancestors are the criminals that invaded this country that he was talking about doing his campaign…. Every time does White European accuse someone it’s always a confession.?

Tell them to go back to their country

What's a green card? Lol just kidding. If she came here and has a green card, she's not Mexican American. She's just an immigrant. Not a good example. Not all Rodriguez, Diaz, Lopez, Perez, Gutierrez are immigrants. Dont go by last name. My last name tells you Im Latina but this Latina was born n raised in NYC. From parents who came to this country through legal channels and met here. Worked here, died here. Same as Mr Trump who is a Queens, NY boy. It's not rocket science. You are here illegally then go back to your country of origin and reapply. Come in the right n legal way. There is nothing wrong with that. Welcome people who obey laws. Who obey immigration laws. Those are the people who will be productive here. You coming in like a bandit, with no papers, no documents, no sense of direction then that's cause for concern.

LOL!! I can’t help but notice this lady says “we need to take back OUR country” AFTER she’s secured her “GREEN CARD”!! Not sure if she realizes that many Americans consider people not born here as “outsiders” whether you have a “green card” or not!! SHE IS VERY LUCKY SHE ALREADY HAS HER “GREEN CARD” OR she’d be one of the many going back to their own country soon! \n\nPretty sure TRUMP views ANYONE who wasn’t born here doesn’t belong here, EXCEPT HIS & J.D. VANCE’s SPOUSES OF COURSE! But I think he may be concentrating on people that came in under Biden’s Administration for now??

If you are mad about illegal aliens getting deported, you are mad about lower prices for American citizens. If you call someone a traitor for voting for trump you are a traitor yourself. They are illegally coming into our country. If you US citizens illegally go into other countries you will probably die or be held for ransom. Why are y’all so happy and ready to pay for other people when we have families veterans homeless to feed the government uses illegal immigration as an excuse to spend government funds as an excuse to rebuild America for Democratic party votes That is absurd and insane. If you support this, you are a threat to democracy and a traitor to the US the Democrats committed treason over the last four years and if you look back in history, it goes on and on They have never helped the American people for American people. They aren’t for us. Wake up, realize who controls the media realize who is trying to consistently brainwash you realize who doesn’t want our country where our bills say in God we trust to no longer be a Christian country. Let’s go back to a wireless and Affordable country. Let’s not instigate fuel support and fun wars across the world let’s tax other countries and receive money from other countries rather than take from American citizens that can’t afford to be taken from. in God we trust God bless America

And Canada should greet those asylum seekers with a 1 way ticket back to their county of origin. It's not like Trump is going stage a coup in the next 4 years so it's the perfect time for them to take their countries back!

Try it and see what happens. They never actually planned to do it and have no coherent plan. Are you going to air drop them over a country that doesn't want them back?

We should NoT let anyone in Canada they should all go back to their own countries

Mass deportation isn't working as Trump promised. They will face the same problems Europe is facing The country of origin is not willing to take them back in large amounts, especially not the ones who got criminalized in the US. So it will end up in camps and that's going to be real costly. \nIt's all messed up anyway, if farmers complain exceptions will be made, and foreign criminals will always find a way into the country trough false documents or bribe. After the initial wave it will be all low tide again.

Why do we need detention camps? Once an illegal gets caught by ICE, then bring them directly to the border and just send to the other-side of the border wall. That’s it. If this keeps going on, then numerous illegals will leave the country by their own. Also, ICE should raid the employment companies, stores, gas stations, and all possible illegal employment facilities very frequently to not only catch the illegals but also to charge a big amount of penalties to those employers. This will fund the deportation costs and tightening the illegal surviving in US will diminish this illegal flow. This process happened in past after the twin towers attacks. The republican administration knows very well how to push back the illegals.

Can somebody tell me what the receiving country have to have some sort of agreement with the US government? You can’t just fly a plane in with people and just offload them like that? So what are they going to offer the receiving country to take these people back because I’m sure they’re not gonna do it for nothing.

all these illegals need to go back to there own country

If they come here I’m willing to move to USA legally. We cannot allow more people here we are overwhelm. Go back to ur country and fight for ur country.

No. \nNo housing, health care is down to a crawl, the blatant disrespect towards Canada from immigrants. \nNo more.\nOur own goof of a PM admitted they made a bit of a mistake. He’s underplaying it. \nThat administration decided it was better to bring in countless immigrants with no plan for housing. \nNow I get 3 bags of groceries for over $200, rent is ridiculously high, water, heat, electricity, the list goes on.\n\nPeople that come from other countries also have the audacity to burn the Canadian flag and demand the government do something to help out their mother country. Want to do something for your past country? Go back there and volunteer your time or donate your money to relief organizations. Why is it the Canadian governments responsibility to help out a country before helping its own people!\nEnough is enough

I think the people of the United States should have lawsuit against Biden and Garland . They knew trump broke the law by organizing a coup on Jan 6th . Why did Biden not make garland prosecute trump. Biden and Garland ran a fraud on the American people we were fighting for democracy with our hands tied behind our backs because Biden and garland had control of the whole election if he would have been held accountable for his for the coup trump did on Jan 6th. Biden has the power to over ride this and can not be prosecuted for his actions Biden and Garland gave out democracy away we need to arm ourselves because our country was taken from us illegally someone an attorney someone had to help us or the blood will be on Biden and Garlands hands I am not willing to have my democracy taken illegally. Biden is not a hero he and Garland are traitors. It is the truth and I am not going to get assaulted by Republicans because Garland did not do his job. Send the mob to the person that let the country be taken from us. They came on tv we must save democracy when you already have it to them. I will never quit hopefully someone will be with me .

I don't suppose he's going back to Europe and leave the country to the native Americans.

Answer the Question ❓ are you going to knock on doors ? break down doors. Have Deportation plans ?? What happens if the country does not except people back ???

if the US deports, they will go back to their country of origin, not just shuffled up to canada. \nthis is such a fearmongering title. but such is the media these days. \n\noh no, it's the end of days! /s
