I agree with Donald Trump deporting all immigrants however I don't agree that children born to immigrant parents in America should lose their citizenship

As a Canadian born person, work should be prioritized for Canadians. I am having a difficult time getting entry level jobs because of the competition not only from Canadians, but immigrants, international students and temporary foreign workers.

as a born Canadian that was essential too . Go home! make your country better from the education we allowed you to get.\n be grateful . if you cant follow the rules you are not welcome here.

Please leave our country if you are not a born Canadian. We do not have the means to help you.

Why are natural born Canadians lifes adversely effected by immigrants?\nI dont understand.

The majority are scammers and thieves. They come to Canada and gobble all the jobs in Restaurants, gas stations, Tims, Burger King, McDonalds, Wendys, Pizza Pizza, general labour factory, ttc jobs, cleaner jobs, even the average Canadian born in Canada is not able to find anymore jobs because of them.They'r really stealing jobs making money and never investing it here but sending it back home to india. Send them all back to their shithole india crap

I am sri lankan dude born and raised in germany. I work in a company where most are german. They are quite respectful , funny and quite sensitive in terms of racism, homophobia etc. I even hang up and party with them in freetime. The work life balance is insane , much better than USA. If u r sick u r sick , no one dares to question u. All that because of Young People they r different than the older ones in public services etc. . So if u get into a good company everything will be fine. I know its hard...but thats they key.

I can’t get it. He doesn’t care if you have citizenship or not. He deporting you. He also says that children who are born to people who were NOT born here, will be deported with their parents. What are they not getting. These people need to take off those red blinders. They will learn soon.

Yes, it is so sad us as Americans are born in this country and do we get free housing, free, healthcare and all the benefits they get NO that’s what the problem is. They need to keep these? immigrants far away from here.

WOW….. Trump is more important to her than her family.. I am assuming since they have been here for so long they probably have kids that were born here and are American citizens… That means they could lose their parents?

New 2025 ‘PR pathways’? Say one thing do another? Not covered by media or opp? Why not pgms incl education funding to help/incentivize Canadian citizens esp those born here to fill those jobs? Govt always talk thru both sides? No like most Cdns I’m not racist or anti immigration (good friends from other countries) we’re just saying enough.

I was actually born in quebec and i just got recommended this ???

Not only immigrants! But Canadian born too! My Canadian born children; both highly educated professionals, emigrated on permanent resident visas to the U.S. in 2016. Very happy living and working in Sunny, Silicon Valley, CA. Now U.S. citizens! Never to come back ! Only to visit their parents!

I am Punjabi, born in Canada, there are too many Indian people, bring the standard of our city down.\nIf you come to Canada for better life style - you should adapt to Canadian life.

I’m an American citizen who was born in the United States (Hawaii). Everyone has the right to support or not support President Trump’s plans for mass deportation. The interviewer asked this Mexican American woman her opinion and she’s entitled to her opinion. There are a lot of Hispanic people who agree with Trump. I don’t think she’s turning her back on her family by saying “it’s okay” if they get deported. I think she’s respecting and supporting the rules of Immigration laws to have legal documentation to live in the United States. Rather than disrespecting and ignoring Immigration laws the way her family did. I think in a way she’s saying “it’s okay” her family gets deported because they deserve to be penalized for breaking Immigration laws for entering and staying in America for 20 or 30 years illegally which is valid and understandable. It comes down to the phrase “You commit the crime you do the time” whether it’s family or not. I believe she has a leg to stand on because she followed Immigration laws, received her Green Card and is living in the United States legally. If a family member of mine committed a crime and were put in jail or deported back to their country I would say “it’s okay” too. You reap what you sow.

Canada is building a tonne of housing as is, a bit less than in the past, so yes, issues with the growth of red tape, zoning, development taxes, etc should be addressed, but the problem has mainly been that the population has been growing at an exponential rate, in the past decade. The construction workforce actually doesn't have that many immigrants - around 77% are Canadian born, compared to 73% of the overall workforce, and I suspect the 23% that are immigrants are probably mostly immigrants that have been here a while, with very few temporary workers (which are mostly in retail/commercial services, elder care, and agriculture). That means immigration has been a bigger problem for increasing housing demand, compared to any benefit to increasing the supply through increasing construction workforce, especially when you consider that the size of the construction workforce is proportional to the total population, while the housing demand is more correlated to population growth. \n\nThere is also the differentiation between expanding infrastructure/housing supply, vs improving/maintaining it. It would not be a bad thing if we were able to shift some of the construction workforce towards improving our stormwater infrastructure, fixing roads, and building transit alternatives (improves quality of life), rather than just building more and more new roads and homes just to keep up with population growth (maintains quality of life).

I immigrated to Canada in 1981 because I married a Canadian I should say French Canadian girl and it was just a better place for her to continue on with her background. We relocated to Ottawa which is bilingual and made it very easy for both of us to assimilate together. I moved back to the USA in 2006 to help my sick brother and move back again to Canada in 2016. I came back for many reasons. The political Edge in the united states, the guns out of control, the increased crime rate daily, in just too many people everywhere. Now I was living in the Tampa Bay area and a lot of the people come from out of state and out of country especially in the winter to spend their cold months in the sunshine. Some things I miss in the United States comes usually down to the cost of living. Unless you get sick. And I miss living by the Gulf of Mexico. Except during hurricane season. I prefer living in Canada only because it's a slower easier paced social environment. It has nowhere near the political stress that the United States has where it can almost be violent. Actually, where it has been violent. Revisit January 6th. Out of control guns with hot-headed men mostly can force you out as well and back to Canada. Canada's social structure and environment supersedes the United States tenfold. And of course as we get older, Healthcare is a priority. I'm thankful there's a place like Canada close to where I was born or I can spend the rest of my life enjoying it as opposed to looking over my shoulder constantly. I also find that Canadians have a huge appreciation of warm months. So many people are outside even when they are eating at restaurants. Because of the warmer months are so short, Canadians really take advantage of enjoying it and those months are never taken for granted. Winters in Ontario, like here in Ottawa, can be very cold once January and February come around. But once you make it into the middle of march, you can almost smell spring in the air and somewhere on the way. But there are those dreaded 8 weeks of oh my God ?

These chicks are thinking with their heads on straight, and tackling subjects as a born white Canadian I’d be called racist over.\n\nIf we have to have immigration, let it be people like you two ladies that make the grade…this is a beautifully refreshing point of view and I agree with you on every point.\nMy love and respect from Calgary

I appreciate your take. I believe Canada's key issue is that it is facing a cultural decay, which is not exclusive to Canada. Many countries in the west are challenged by similar things such as aging populations and unaffordability. \n\nIt works in a cycle: governments and corporations take turns screwing over the general population and most people cannot afford anything. Corporation does A then government does B; government does X then corporation does Y. On the surface, government is _trying_ to do a good thing, but it backfires quite often, leaving the average person feeling scorned. \n\nChief among these corrective measures was mass immigration, and because there was already a climate of indignation, the introduction of too-many-immigrants was a huge slap in the face. Instead of making sure Canadians were better taken care of, the government responded to the corporations--not the people. \n\nGDP numbers mean nothing to the average Canadian person if their quality of life is in decline. The only people still in favour of mass immigration are those who do not have to confront it on a day-to-day basis. Even Canadian-born (or even Canadian Citizens of 5+ years) minorities, think the immigration problem is too much.

Your turdope invaded our country CANADA only WITH UBER DRIVERS, IMPORTED MIDDLE EAST BABY FACTORIES, INVASION NEW COMERS FROM INDIA, WHERE THE MIDDLE EASTERNS LIVING ON OUR PAYING TAXES WELFARE BREEDING DOZENS OF KIDS, THE ONES FROM INDIA TOOK ALL TIM HORTONS JOBS, ALL WALMART JOBS, AND DOCTORS SECRETARIES JOBS AND THE LIST GOES ON, THE BORNED CANADIANS ARE HOME WITH OUT JOBS, THE NEW COMERS SAYING WE TOOK THEIR JOBS BECAUSE CANADIANS DONT WANT YO WORK.. THATS NOT TRUE, IS BECAUSE ALL INDIA MANAGERES ONLY HIRES THEIR OWN AND NOT CANADIANS BORN EMPLOYEES...

Born and raised here and I'm planning on leaving. Reasons are the expensive living, people have become cruel, the crime rate is going up, little solidarity, just the whole shift in mentality. Not a good place anymore unfortunately.

Hmm, Im an American born. I carry my nations foresworn responsibility. I was born and bred to do it....TRY TO CONVICT ME...

Although i sympathise with people trying to better their lives (we do not choose to be born in privilege or poverty) I think people including Indians have become entitled and try every possible way to enter overseas countries instead of improving their lives where they are. Same goes for Hispanics and other nationalities.

Now i am a canadian citizen who is looking for a job and NOT getting any work... but so many migrants and international students have all the jobs! If i don't find work soon i am scared I'll end up a homeless young woman! How can canada create their fertile young women born here homeless!

You people are just ungrateful. Try being born in a 3rd world country with a shitty economy and/or a dictator for the president, with an economy so shitty that you wouldn't know the cost of bread for the following day, no security, no freedom of speech. You guys are just joking with life

she is NOT a Mexican-American, she was born in mexico.

When their fellow India born Canadians who have been here longer are saying it's been too much, you know it's a big problem.

I was born,raised and live in Ontario ??

I'm an immigrant who came here with my family on a sponsorship program in 2008. Never got in trouble, worked two jobs and busted our asses off to get the citizenship in 2014. What has happened to Canada under Trudeau's incompetent government with his mass immigration policies and taking in low-class South Asians who do nothing but scam their way to the top is nothing but a tragedy. Canadian-born citizens are waking up and hate is brewing against Indians and Muslims.

Guys, to be honest we know US makes the dollar worth whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want but that is not our fear, we truly want to be a strong region and if you look closely beyond the behavior of Trump and Sheimbaum it seems they truly want to cooperate, just remember the world is watching, when you have a good strategy you cannot disclose it, lets work together, we are not south americans weve always been in the region. Some of our most beloved mexican heroes where born in texas or other states when they were still Mexico for instance, we share the wild west stories, cowboys are not only americans they were also.mexicans for example, and box sport associations were made by US and mexican legends, plus we share commom values.

yes homelessness and \\all the handouts are bad at least where i live and work as a security Guard in the lowermnainland of British columbia I barely make it and the homeless people seem to have more rights and in some cases have moer money then I do working as security . as for the racism I cant speak of that living on the west coast I have had the rascist card thrown at me many times for just eplaing to a person tha tthey are on prvate property and need to leave or the biggest time was I was working at a UBC football game and a black peron was on a part of the football feild where knowone should be with out p[roper ID so I walked over and this person started to freak out calling me a racist becsaue I asked for his ID he then shows me his superbowl ring telling me that gives him pecial priliedges whiuc hit doesnt I was alway calm speaking with him and plite as he was spitting at me trying to cause more attetnion then needed . at the end of the game his friend who also had a ring and him were together as he was pointing at me calling me a racist but his friend said the only racist thign he seen was him calling me a racist . I could have had him cuffed and removed put in jail for manyu thigns but I didnt . many people screeam racism and like I said it isnt that common accept people calling me a rqcist for just doing my job and they dont like it when told they need to leave or cannot do something on prvate property ith out permission. \n that hiring part think is totally wrong all my life I have had issues being hired as a Canadian born here but other people from other countries are brought in trained and schooled her and are hired before I am .\nalso yes housing is crazy xpensive this falls on the goevernment letting people from other countrys buy up all the lands then build a few homes then hold on to them makign the market prices climb and now with all the crazy imagration and many of those imagreants pretty much going to colledge and university for dirt cheap or free and also given home also droive up the prices.\nour healt hsystem is probably one of the best in the world the reason why our txes are so high is becasue of the health system and the reason why we seem to be short on doctors is becasue imagrants and other people running to the emergency for runny noses and also bring in there whole famil;y of brothers sisters cousins doesnt help backing up the system but als othe ageing poulations that needs to be in hospitals.

Thank you so much for this. In spite of being born in Ontario, I learned a lot about Canada! My entire family was born and grew up either in Toronto or in the then-small towns closeby. My father moved us to upstate NY in 1957 when I was 9 years old, me kicking and screaming all the way. I was devastated to be leaving Canada, and now at 77, I've decided this life-long yearning to return to my birthplace has to become reality. I've started the process, hoping I may gain some points because I'm a former citizen :) . I still have lots of family in several provinces; people I haven't seen since we were children, and some of us are great-grandparents now. I feel strongly that I need to leave this world in the place where I began :) Thanks again for the great video!

I'm born in the Quebec province.

illegal alien is illegal alien. \nif they want . to emigrate to the USA. go home and apply at the US embassy in your country. then wait till your number is called.\nthen denounce ALL ties to where you weee born.

As an immigrant myself, I think you should adapt to the place you move to. I dont think Canadian born are annoyed by skin tones or even releigion being different, its the resistance to leave their culture and their intention to live like they are back home that is not seen well.

What she does not understand is if you weren’t born here, then you too can be deported.

I would *never* live in Alberta (and I was born there). Disgusting conservative govt has ruined that province.

Left Canada about 10 month ago, raised and born. Never going back, the country is in a complete decline, the climate is horrible, in Quebec the taxes are insane and the service is 0. RIP

No one noticed migration has slowed down for the past year, because no one’s life is affected by immigrants. \nImmigrants have been part of more culture and economic development, since most of us have been born. \n\nIt has only been a problem, because the radical right wing has been making it a problem. \nThey always need something to bitch about.

What immigrants fear most is working in the United States but getting paid the standard wages in their country of origin, and the difference between native American citizens and those born in the United States, whose wages are according to American standards. I believe that immigrants are returning to their home countries, because the wages for working in America are the same as the wages for working in their home countries. ?

Mexicans are the second largest ethnic group in the United States behind whites. there is approximately 40 million Mexicanos living in the U.S. legal or illegal including those born here as well.

Trump has Robbed The United States for at least 60yrs. 2018/2019 Trump only Paid $700 Dollars in each of these Year. Claiming a $50 Million Parking Loan and Trump Claimed it 3 yes in a Roll Illegal, It was a Fraudulent Loan Because There Is No Such Company and the Trump just pulled a Name of someone out of Thin Air. And that there is No Business is and That the $50 Million Dollars Loan was Claimed on trumps 3 Time of a Fraudulently Claimed and Never was a Loan and trump should be No Where Near The Whitehouse because Time After Time After Time Trump has Proven that He Is a BORN CRIMINAL AND IS STILL A WALKING Crime Wave.

Trump knows nothing! Whatever he says are lies. He just loves to treath whoever is in his sight.\nImmigration and drugs problems are of the US because its own needs of cheap labor and huge numbers of drug users. It’s so misleading to just declare that it’s other countries, and not the US responsibility. That media treats trump’s sayings with real significance is astonishing…, as if it’s not clear what djt is all nonsense. Precisely this 2024 US border crossings are at its lowest, yet ignorants, only as USers can be, voted for trump because of his lies, not because reality. That sick it is…FYI: Americans are all those born, or naturalized, in any country in the American continent, not only the US. Argentinians, Guatemaltecans, Mexicans, etc. (looking at a map may help understand how many citizens in this continent are indeed Americans.)The only crack in the continent is man made, by USers of course, the Panama Canal. America, as the continent was named before USers settled in this side of the ocean, is a nice one piece of wonderful land, where the US is occupying only a small piece in the northern side of the continent, that is, of America. US greed and ignorance can’t continue to define the world…

I guess she didn’t read project 2025. You are not a natural born citizen, you stand the chance of deportation as well. That same sentiment she has for her family is held for her as well. Write your own ticket??

Funny to see some magats say Trump was a self made billionaire. Seems like watching fox news could lead to brain damage. Don't they know trump was born rich? His dad was a real estate developer. ?

Does she not know that Trump plans to reverse citizenships of persons that were not born in this country? FAFO

We don’t need Mexico we just use them cause there cheap. America can build and grow whatever they want. She should shut up and solve her own country’s crisis. There’s a reason her own people want to run to America. But the boot they will get if coming here illegally is their agenda. One day our army will probably have to swing in there for a solid week and end there crisis that they can’t handle themselves. & all these crybaby Americans over Kamala need to stfu and listen to the real adults. America will be America again. “Oh but we’re all immigrants” well I’m not I was born here. That happened years and years ago. You have better luck crying a river to a wall. Let’s go America let’s bring the real America back and make it strong again. F$$$ the haters and crybabies

As a Canadian born Indian since 1995 this country has obviously let in too many immigrants since 2020 and Trudunce got into power, I dislike them just as much as the rest of us we are born here speak better English and have more cultural connection to Canadian values then any immigrant no matter the country they come from. and we are having our image distorted by their ignorant behavior when we have nothing in common with these immigrants either.

“The Oppressed Becomes The OPPRESSOR”? Her warped mindset can be a self-esteem issue borne of her own oppression — perhaps a belief that oppression of others is a sign of her strength & creates a feeling of false power, through her assimilation?. She drank the KOOK-AID?‍?, believing her 1 vote put her above her own family members? She thinks she’s now on equal par w/??45/47/MAGA/Program 2025/white ppl?? I hope she doesn’t turn her family in to get a pat on the back from the right wing extremists nuts that still hate her existence on earth as a Mexican; that’s Dehumanization 101‼️They’ll deport her first, & let her figure out how the hell she can come back to America. She may need a serious wake-up call like that to remember who she is, w/PRIDE, not w/HATE. Unconscionable & a Total Disgrace is this female???

Donald trump is a liar and a criminal and his mom and his wife didn’t born hear in the USA ?? they were migrants so how Donald trump forgetting about it ‼️
