i'm happy there are people here who agree, but having your voice heard only as a youtube comment is not the answer. do you know how countries in europe managed to get ahead in healthcare? patients went to the press with recorded videos about their experience. and yes, initially the journalists dismissed this as non news, but it only needed one to go with it. and it made waves. now a 2hr wait in the ER in europe is met by the tv crew. \ncanadians refuse to do it. when i came to canada 25 years ago a 2hr wait was normal. now it's 9hrs and still no discontent voices. no politician is running on healthcare, but on cutting taxes and on giving back a few hundred dollars a year back to the families. and most are eating it up! \nbecause healthcare is public, doctors and their union have 0 incentive of allowing more professionals into the system, because they all share the same pie. there are families who do not have a family doctor and are forced to use clinics, even with newborn babies. my family doctor works a regular job, doesn't answer the phone after 3:30 (even though they are open until 4), has 2-half days (one is a golf day btw) and overall couldn't give a F about patients. on that high salary in any other industry, you'd be on call 24/7. \nand then there's housing, jobs, the education system is a mess - more and more people are worried about what these kids are learning and there is 0 incentive from any of the politicians to address the issue.\nand, of course, there is forced immigration. when we came it used to be a merit system, you had to bring in money to prove you won't be a burden to welfare for at least a year. it's definitely not the case now. \npeople look at PP as some kind of saviour, but he's not going to fix anything. usually conservatives are good for corporations, whilst liberals balance their policies with the needs of the common folk. how far they've fallen.

The US went from 90% white to 55% white in just a few decades. No wonder people want to end this.\nAlso, it should be common sense that if you want to live there, you need to get a visa.

I don;'t see anything controversial about deporting immigrants who break the law. If I went to Saudi Arabia and smoked weed, being sent home would be the least of my problems.

It’s crazy how you went from talking about illegal immigration, to talking about legal immigration. They’re not the same thing

The number went up because republicans are screaming all day that the border is wide open on the news.

My Nani died longing to go back to her haveli in Rawalpindi. She used to burst out in tears and blamed Jinnah and Gandhi for separation from her homeland. It was really sad to hear her stories. They lost everything. She lost two of her daughters on the way up the riots. They went searching for them but never found anything. I can’t imagine hungry, exhausted, homeless mother dealing with loss of her children when still frightened that Muslim mob will rape or burn them any day. People say it both sides. But it’s evident from history Dr Ishtisk Ahmed quotes it was Muslim who started the riots first in bihar, bengal and Jinnah originally supported uprising in parts of Punjab, he wanted to show that we can’t live together to justify for separate state. Sadly now we have more Muslims in India then Pakistan and they live happily in our own neighbourhood. We attend each others functions and study in same schools, sit on same benches, use same school bus. It was all to fulfil Jinnahs desire to be supreme leader of Pakistan.

Come to Surrey BC! I've lived here all my life, and live about 7km's from the house I was brought home as a baby, so I've never left this city, and I, like that gentleman and lady you talked to, often feel like I am the only Caucasian in Surrey! Go by any elementary school, and you'd find it difficult to see any hair colour than straight black! Like when I went to school, so many now are driven to school by parents or grandparents that where brought over to Canada as well, so traffic around schools very often is chaotic at best! The once peaceful sound of birds singing, is now taken up with sirens, from ambulance and fire trucks, it's hideous! I too would love to move, but we keep asking, 'where'...as we'd like to be in an area with just caucasians, to feel 'at home' again! It's not that I don't like the people, but most in Surrey, are much more well off than the average Canadian, driving high end cars, and even their teenage kids have high end vehicles. So, like many Canadians, I'd just like to see normalcy & common sense once again, and a complete end to immigration, until ALL of our crisis's are taken care of!

I am Mexican, I went to College and worked legally in the US, and I am living in Mexico right now. I am totally against illegal immigration, but what I oppossed the most is the racism between Latinos. I can tell you that most of the people who treated me the worst were my own people. Latinos don't like other Latinos there and even less illegal immigrants, even if they were once illegal, 'cause they are not gonna take away what was so hard for them to get !! so so sad, I guess they are ashamed of where they come ???? and that's a big reason why they voted for Trump!!

If we went to there country we would have to accept there's why should it be different here. Of course they should just like we would have to.

I certainly would have to change my ways if I went to their country ?

Went on a work lunch with a Hindu (born in Canada) coworker and was surprised to see him actually eat steak! He mentioned that the first time he tried beef was when moved out of his parents house. Initially he wanted to throw up after trying beef but after a few more tries he liked it and almost always orders it when he eats out at a restaurant.

I'm Latino from Texas that voted for Trump and I'm not ok with this approach of deporting people that have been in the US for 15-30yrs. I'm here because of Ronald Reagan, went to college have been contributing over half a million a year and paying taxes and my family have never asked for any money from the US. There are many like myself that have family members that will continue to contribute to the US.

I've been replaced 4 times by foreigners. I worked at Amazon and the entire huge warehouse of hundreds of people was only East Indians with only me and 3 other white people. I worked at Ballard and the entire production floor could not speak English at a elementary school level and was replaced by a guy from Iran who had never been to Canada and was in the country for 1 month. All the shift mangers were from Iran and my section was only Iranians, East Indians and Chinese. I was the top production worker by far doing the work of 4 other workers proven by the actual numbers in an attempt to keep my job but still got removed of course to make way for more Iranians because it was obviously a way to bring their people here. Zero locals were in the entire production floor. I can not have the dignity to own my own home and never will be able to even though I grew up here went to collage and university and worked hard. Rent is beyond insane and they raise it the maximum legal amount every year which is huge. All my life I had to bow down to foreigners. The locals have lost their homes and can not buy another house or could never buy one and never will be able to. All are slaves to foreigners who think they are superior and treat them like garbage. The foreigners get help from the government somehow and get loans they never should be able to get because they have crooked contacts in the Chinese owned financial institutions. They then build 5 to 10 unbelievably horrible illegal suites and that is where most of the locals now have to live in. The neighbourhoods went from a very low population of Chinese and East Indians to insanely high levels such as 98 percent. There is no sense in complaining to any government body because the Chinese and East Indians have infiltrated those key positions and always side with their own kind. The legacy news/media is fully aware but are owned by foreigners and never will talk about these issues. Canada has for sure been invaded and taken over and is lost. No one is bringing it to light and worst is no one is trying to fight it. Any attempts you are labeled as a horrible racist.

Why do Americans feel that foreigners should do only manual jobs? All my relatives went to Americans educatwd and they've never done manual jobs. I saw a documentary where Nigerian people are increasing in the neducal field as doctors and Kenyans as nurses

What if the shoe was on the other foot ? What a foolish selfish woman. I wouldn't speak to her ass either.Why not when she went to get her green card why didn't she grab at least ONE of her family members. What goes around tramp come around

If this is what it takes to teach these people who voted against their own friends and families, so be it. I have lost all sympathy for the right wing. They went full religiously driven nutty with an obsession with believing every little crazy story and never looked back. Every person I meet that give me cooky vibes or talks about Jesus or some sort of outdated fucked up thing is a Trumper and nothing will change their minds. Everyone now has at least one relative who, on the surface, would appear to be a perfectly logical person but ask them to justify why they love Trump so much and they give you some totally wacky fact or false claim about some sort of random thing in our world like social security or trans people or immigration and cant seem to wrap their minds around the idea that it isn't true and that those claims are being used to manipulate them.

See, I know this is wrong. But we have to be honest I am an Indian but moved to America. I stayed in New Jersey and the environment we created there is absurd. We made the place dirty, uncivilized behaviour and the list is long. This is happening in Canada too. Canadians identify everyone as Indians but the major problem they have is with Khalistanis. They have become a menace, gun violence, crimes and a shit ton of things done by these people. There is always a reaction and it is unfortunate that the innocent ones has to face the reaction. We Indians only look at the good ones as an example when it comes to Indian immigrants, but the chaos and misconduct is created by the rest of the uncivilized Indians who are huge in Numbers. My experience girlfriend was Canadian, her mother owned a departmental store she caught and called cops on many occasions were our peyare caught on camera stealing, damaging the store and also peeing right in the corner of the store. I saw all these footage. The major problem with Canada is most of the Indian immigrants that went there were uneducated and directly went to Canada from Indian villages, it's a cultural shock for them and during the initial period everyone behaved in a uncivilized manner. Please understand the root cause of the issue. If I am a guest at your house and keep on causing harm to your home and if this keeps on repeating you will end up frustrated.

You people will never get it will you. There is a process. Respect the process!!! It’s a slap in the face for those who went through all the proper procedures and payed a lot of money to do so. Ask south side Chicago how they like their public parks and buildings being used for illegals. Total disrespect. That is why you lost. You’re all brainwashed and have lost all sense. You don’t know what a dictator is obviously. Completely out of touch with reality. It’s sad really. Get well soon.

I lived in Canada all my life and still under dressed enough to experience hypothermia. I was so cold my tongue went numb and I lost the ability to speak clearly.

Your story sounds really relatable. I was in the best shape of my life earlier this year before I went through a very intense mental health battle and gained weight and fat. I'm now ready to get on track again, but need some motivation, so this video was perfect. I don't know what you went through, but I'm glad you're able to focus on your health again. \n\nI'll look into it now, but I'd love to know how to plan my calorie deficit so I'm making progress to getting back to seeing my abs again.

That includes Elon Musk then, since he illegally applied for a student visa but never went to classes but instead built a business illegally? And then he apparently lied about it all when applying for his citizenship. So, as an illegal immigrant, he should also be deported.

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

So you - an Australian immigrant - are trying to say that your population went up by 2.5% and for that reason alone your country fell apart?\n\nYou do know you can regulate tenancies, blacklist landlords and demand occupancy caps ? Or ban tenant discrimination? Or restrict visas & weed out diploma mills? Or jack up minimum wages and fine the shit out of exploitative employers? But no, that’s hard. Better to shit on immigrants.

There will be WAR, mark my words. No one to work the fields, prices for an apple will be $10.00 ea. You get what you vote for, but I went ?????????

If I went somewhere illegal I would feel like they have the right to send me back ?

I bet some of them went by boat illegally

no new imiigrants and send the ones we have home.. no need for them here is all they do is perpuate the same stuff they did in thier home land.. there is ZERO reason for them to come here illegally. and zero right for them to come here without plan! if we went there we had to adapt to thier laws and ye we bend ours for them...

Jim banks, had you went to your backyard and pluck your own veggies yet or you hired an illegal to do that for you.

The best way to get the immigrants to go back.... Is to stop giving them free s***.... I know an immigrant who went to Canada and don't get nothing.....then he came to America and got everything?

This is polarizing for two reasons. The obvious being that ? man is a con who probably won't achieve any of those things; but more importantly, notice these people aren't spewing racism and hate. This video is a stark contrast to the narratives you like to push about these people and shows a trend that went ignored during this election

These have got to be the dumbest most delusional people on earth, it is not about legal or illegal status !!!! It has everything to do with their color !!! If it was thousands of folks from Greenland or Sweden or somewhere with white folks he wouldn’t even mention a border or illegal immigrants, when are people gonna stop being so stupid, Spanish people really screwed themselves big time with this one , especially for a man that hates them with such a passion. Remember last time when he was president and Puerto Rico had a hurricane and when people were asking him what he was gonna do to for them and he said that their own government needs to help them out because he did not know that he was their president as well and asked if they could trade Puerto Rico for Greenland ??? and than still blocked aid from them and said he did not want to give them handouts so they could lay around and be lazy, than when they finally said he needed to go because it didn’t look good , he went and stood there and just threw rolls of paper towels at them.

Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Legal immigrants have earned that privilege. Genuine refugees deserve a fair chance at getting that privilege too. Illegal immigrants switching between countries pretending to be refugees don't qualify. These are the same people who went to the US illegally in the first place, then hope to come to Canada illegally when it's bad in the US, and then will return to the US illegally when things will get better there.

And when you don’t have people to do the labor that non of the Americans want to perform; then don’t be complaining that the economy went to shit. The business, farmers and manufacture that voted for Trump without thinking on their own interested they are for an rude awakening. Watch and see.. I can wait for June 20 to see Doni in action..

These Racist Congressmen, are so ignorant about the Majority Reason, why people come to this country. The Majority come because, they want a better life for themselves, and their family. They don't leave their Native Country because they want to take a Vacation to the U.S. They have every Right, to Seek A Better Future. This Country is for Every Human Being! People from All Walks Of Life, are here to STAY! Everyone has come to USA, from around the World! The Only Native Americans, were the Indians, that were here, before Christopher Columbus arrived! Did they tell Cristopher Columbus, go back to Italy, you are not Welcome Here? No Ignorant People, they ateTHANKSGIVING TOGETHER! It seems, that many people didn't learned History in School. They just went to fool around, and stay dumb! It's Ashamed!

Maybe you should check on Elon Musk, he & his brother were born in South Africa, went to Canada, came to America, worked illegally on a J1 student visa, his first sponsor wouldn't fund him until he sorted his status, what about Melania & her family?... hypocrits

Who will be working at the turds golf resorts? I scared myself when my mind went to assignments of some being deported or blacks ? The text going around to students and many others may have used plantation instead of golf courses. It’s the people still in the dark that backed this, Elon isn’t alone. Which corporations donated. What about the rich people in the room that day he asked for money and promised them tax cuts. Personally I think with help from foreign tech they managed to cheat. Democrats have to investigate

She Asked him how do you do it. And his answer is I don’t think it’s that complicated. I think they may end up sending legal immigrants back to their original homelands and that would be a crime. I mean look what they did to all those illegal immigrant children when they separated them from their families and too many of them just went missing. Did you people really forget about that? Of course you did since they weren’t your children you selfish a***s.

MAGA-NAZBOL Political Party ☠ Ghetto camps were specially selected areas where minorities were forced to live; where they were segregated, controlled, and dehumanized. Some ghettos had walls built around them, whilst others were marked out by barbed wire and electricity. They were nearly always in the poorest areas of town and desperately cramped with poor sanitation. As time went on, food restrictions were introduced and terrible conditions led to hundreds of thousands dying from disease or malnutrition, or the casual executions carried out by the Nazis.

Jesus Christ this is ridiculous. American food producers and farmers will have to pay an American citizen twice as much to do the same job an immigrant was doing. Their labor costs will skyrocket. Who is going to pay the difference? Not Trump. \n\nYou wanted affordable groceries. You morons went and voted for the exact opposite.

There was a major housing shortage and we added 25 million people. Rents doubled car insurance has went up because of illegals poor driving skills and our neighborhoods are unsafe. So to judge from your Park Ave penthouse well....

Illegal Alien Released Into U.S. Allegedly Pulls Girl Into Van and Sexually Assaults Her \nMay 10, 2024 \nr \nIn another case of a horrifying and preventable crime, an illegal alien in Florida is accused of grabbing an 11-year-old girl, dragging her into a van and sexually assaulting her. \n \nThe incident unfolded when the victim’s mother noticed her daughter was not inside the home and went outside to look for her. \n \nWhile walking around outside, the mother noticed a van with her daughter inside. That’s when she banged on the van and asked the man what he was doing inside with her daughter. The suspect, Marvin Perez Lopez, then apologized and asked for forgiveness as he ran out of the van. \n \nThe girl told investigators that the suspect grabbed her and told her to get into the van, where he abused her. She says she tried to get out of the vehicle, but Lopez grabbed her again and pulled her back in. \n \nPalm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says the illegal alien suspect confessed to the sexual assault and will face trial in the U.S. before he can even think about being deported. \n \nAccording to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Lopez is from Guatemala and entered the United States illegally as a single adult male in January 2024 after crossing through Mexico. He made it to Palm Beach County later in January. How Lopez trekked from the southern border to Florida is unclear. Did an NGO facilitate his travel? It’s a question that should be answered. \n \nLopez, like so many illegal aliens entering the country under President Biden’s de facto open-borders policies, willingly turned himself into Border Patrol, likely with the expectation he would be released with a court date years in the future. He was given a notice to appear in 2027 and released on his own recognizance. \n \nThe United States has a full repatriation agreement with Guatemala, and Lopez could have been sent back. Instead, he was free to roam in the United States for five years. \nSOURCE, FAIR US org

I wouldn’t feel bad if she went back with them lol

These people are selfish! The immigrants who founded this country, definitely went back and got their homies! You dig a hole for one, you better dig two.

The second dude actually had a point. Nobody hates illegal immigrants more than legal immigrants. It's just painful that you were some kind of elites back in home country, went through a hell of a process and paper work to get yourself citizenship, and other under-educated can just come here legally, spend your tax money and get it? By the way, as someone may argue, they went through the documents, so they would not be deported by denaturalization.

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. ????

Cuban went they get to USA illegally they get around 1,500 months. ????

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 ?

Wow!!! I’m a Latina female and I’m shocked that Latinos went ahead a voted for this moron!! Are you serious?!!!????‍♀️ wow!! The stupidity!!!?

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 .

Exactly! Common sense and not intellectual arguments. I am an immigrant went through the process. Every immigrant should go through the process. It can’t be a free for all!
