As a home owner (with a mortgage) and nearing retirement, my first reaction is that I want housing prices to remain high so I can get the most from my house when I downsize. \nHowever, my house sale is so I can downsize into a home that I can buy outright with the money I get from selling my bigger current house. If my house value goes down, I would be OK as long as the price that I would pay from a smaller home also goes down. I want to live in a home that would have no mortgage. I will only get the minimum income in retirement so I need to be in a home without a mortgage payment, if at all possible.

They don't want anything to do with Palestinians! Ok

Ok! Why so many wanting to come to the United States.

I'm watching a commercial about a lighter that the city wants to band because it has to much power. BUT AR 15's & AK 47 is ...?ok

Emily shilling wasn't open til 2021. So they're whole career before it was changed in medical books and ok'd in the military was as a male who was female-acting at home. Which wouldn't meet medical standards before. And now it's back to men and women and they are all crying... why? Your sexual preferences shouldn't be the important thing in the military or any job. Keep your private life private. No one said you have to stop believing your choices, just that we don't have to fake you are a woman. I respect my gay and trans family members. And if they wanted they could've petitioned to get their birth certificate changed.... this world is being torn apart by the loud left... and how dare anyone say anything against them.

I mean that’s wrong to say everybody’s fit to serve. It’s just when you’re going through surgeries like that and you’re taking hormones that are injections that are not naturally produced in your body then yeah it makes a lot of sense. Why you shouldn’t be in the navy I mean you gotta see it this way testosterone is 100% pure anger OK naturally produce testosterone. We are naturally angry all the time but someone who’s just getting injected with it and just now starting to become like one of us is going to have to realize that it’s not going to work the same way as it works for people who naturally produce it. Don’t get me wrong. Everybody deserves to be who they want to be, but at the same time we do have to look at the scientific things of it too. You don’t want a soldier going crazy.

Hi everyone, I'm just going to weigh in some experience here. These people have given up on their government to fix things. They had it good before when Venezuela was wealthy not so long ago. They want that back. Who wouldn't. They want a chance at a better life . They have in most cases already sold all possessions for traveling money and bribes or security. They are scared and tired of traveling. They got told to come to America by someone. I wish we could afford as a country to take them all and it be ok and they build a good life here. I wish it was like that. The system we have needs work for certain. The USA is being overwhelmed by too many coming. We have to slow the roll . But it's a bad situation for all involved. They will look for an illegal way if needed to make it. Hence the cartels step in and offer a way in exchange for money or drug smuggling and the trouble gets worse. There is no simple solution here. Rough on everyone.

You ruined Canada. No one wants you. You turned Canada into a sewer like your India. Crime, fraud, scammers. Indians have done NOTHING but suck this country dry. Like leaches. You love India so much, you Indians are the best, ok, GO BACK to India. The only thing you contributed to Canada is scamming.

I'm ok with everyone being whatever they want - stop pushing it down our throats and stop asking us to pay for it. It's too much we have our own hopes and dreams!~

Trump’s response will likely be “you want to retaliate by adding a 25% tariff? Ok, now we’re raising the tariff to 50%. How do you like them apples?”

Don’t let black women become presidents, Kamala deliberately made a fool of herself on tv while she knew the whole time trump was going to become president again, she was racist and sexist a few times on tv, she insulted black people herself by saying they don’t know what computers are, shes a fool.\nWhite women are far more educated then black women, I’m ok with having Barack Obama again but he’s not running again, so thats that, we don’t have any black men running for president anymore atm, if anything, we cannot let black women become president though, Hillary Clinton is anything else although but eligible to be our leader as shes evil, she wouldn’t take care of American’s, she would’ve only made Putin want to attack America so she’d not have control at all she’d be instead leading us to our deaths.\nAny other white woman but her otherwise mu suffice with being president next, but theres a lot of work needed to clear up atm anyways, with trump coming back once again, we can’t help it now, its to late to go back tk wanting Biden again as we can’t turn out trump for biden since trump won again, so thats just the game we’re playing here atm, we just can’t.

Ok so, there's seemingly 1 success story. I'll give this man/woman the benefit of the doubt. But, ONE??? That proves nothing. I'm a vet, and I certainly would not want to serve under a freak show tranny.

I think trans when it comes to men in to women to serve to the military should be OK I feel like they still have all the mam traits but on the other hand I wudnt want a women's trans to a man having to watch my back in war??? HELLLL NAAHHH ??????

Ok let’s simplify this,,do we want to be known as the country with a trans army vs everyone else’s straight army? I don’t think so

This happened months ago. They need dates for when things actually happen for shorts. Lol yt sucks. How is it ever ok to break laws. Just like me growing up in a Border town I can't just go into Mexico and stay or do what I want when I want I have to follow mx laws lmao yt is a joke and sucks

You don’t want to meet our demands? Ok, we’re going to tax you 25%!!! Take that!!!! Boom, genius level!

Lol ok if Americans want to pay more for coffee then that's their problem

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

Don’t they realize we the Americans voted for this. This we don’t want them here. However they’re trying to storm through. I don’t understand storming through somewhere you’re unwanted you feel ok living here, and feel you’re not an issue. The entitlement is disgusting. I’m so tired of this.

and yet some politicians see this as ok is infuriating. You want to come to the US, no problem. Just do it legally. This is an invasion we're seeing.

I wonder what media outlet has been telling them that it is ok for them to come into illegally and the American people will take care of them? Who has been hounding a person who wants to keep US citizens safe and housed? I think it is you CNN!

As a Brit I know many decent integrated Indians here. But none of them are recent arrivals. Older immigrants were respectful and wanted to be British and adopt British ways. But newer immigrants act as if we owe them something while acting in disrespectful dirty disgusting ways. For example in India I have to use Indian toilets as Indians do. I don’t pretend I don’t understand how to use them, I don’t need instructions on the door and I don’t break the toilet by standing on it, shytting up the walls and all over the floor and leave it there like that’s normal. I’ve worked in offices where this was routine when Indian contractors were brought in. Integrated Indian men seem to take great pride in dressing smartly and smelling good. But it’s really common for Indians to smell REALLY BAD. Poor personal hygiene plus excessive amounts of Indian food (you’re abroad ffs try some different food!) creates a truly vile odour. Some Indian men also think it acceptable to stare at and harass British girls (although to be fair they do not have as bad a reputation as their neighbours) they are also rude and racist to white people especially women. Some Indians in 2025 still seem to think they’re living under the Raj and Britain is ‘oppressing’ them. They’re not and we’re not. The empire brought benefits to India and left peacefully over 70 YEARS ago. We don’t owe you ANYTHING. This victim mentality means India will NEVER be a proper first world country. You can flood the world with sheer numbers but you will never be respected or improve the world in any way, you will only ever leech off the invention of others. I do not mean to disrespect the many decent Indian people I’m just telling the truth. As a culture your presence outside of India is negative because of the way so many Indians act, trying to create India wherever they go. And they have the cheek to say this is ok because they got colonised. WELL SO DID WE! That is the truth.

It just goes to show they shouldn’t be here illegally. Why would we want criminals here when we already are dealing with our own issues in the US. Why the violence towards the US officers on the border if they’re fleeing their country why behave like this they just wanted the free handouts at Americans expense. I don’t know how the government thought this was OK to have all the people come over here illegally and pay for everything when there are homeless veterans and children that are US citizens. Take care of home first.

So why is this happening? Can’t just be Trudeau or the liberals. Don’t like the drug addicts, let’s decriminalize drugs. Don’t like the homeless ? Let’s criminalize that too and shove them into a prison - I’m ok with that. High RE prices ? Not sure why it’s happening but let’s ban foreign money and the idea of a second home/investment property. Like what else do yall want ?

Please stop criticizing every ranking, every index. Look at the amount of Indian illegal immigrants almost everywhere. UK reported 1lac of them in 2024. Why do you think any country wants this!! I mean Indians are ok to die and enter other countries illegally, drive cabs, become cleaners, earn below minimum wage than to live in India. Look at the people quitting Indian citizenship every year. Pls Palki, don't make it seem that India is amazing and all is the conspiracy of the West. High networth ppl have left India. Take some ownership. Criticism of your country for good doesn't make you bad. Waise bhi GDP me top bhi ho jaae aur per capita income low rahe toh koi danka nhi baj rha hai desh ka..

OK, let’s talk about it. First the visa scam that the Indians are doing (2) then playing the victim when it’s the Indians doing it to themselves. (3)Then not wanting to adapt to there new country and culture of the country. (4)Always staying within their own groups. (5) Not learning the language (English for example speaking little to no english) (6) Having poor hygiene (example body odour) (7) Taking no accountability for anything that was mentioned in the above statements.

❤❤❤❤It does not matter now the new India does not seek this luxury visa gateway anymore as India is much more matured in every way to make that luxury lifestyle here without those woke mindset’s ,grooming gangs and khalistani mindset here many foreigners launch multi million dollar startup’s and also middle class people earn millions via online just by launch business from home so we don’t need anymore visas for USA and those who need must be much more wealthy who want to expand business abroad and it’s ok as we can build much more income just by being here in India now . ❤❤❤❤

@3:30: Burkino Faso, Kosovo and Cuba have tiny populations. Even if their entire population migrated, the locals in the country receiving them would hardly notice any difference. Not so with India and its 1.5 billion population, many of whom want to migrate only because the neighbour's/aunt's/uncle's son also went abroad. Announce a liberal visa regime for Indians one day, and within a year, your country would start looking like Chandigarh or Ahmedabad. While most countries are ok with some diversity, no one wants to be overrun by foreigners, even if the foreigners in question are Indians who are generally law abiding and hard working. And then there are the 'smarter ' types who fake documents and produce bogus certificates to get visas and even pay human smugglers to take them abroad if their visas are rejected. It's for all these reasons why India's passport is ranked at 85. The only reason why India doesn't fall even further is because there are bigger basket cases like India's 'friendly' neighbors who are sitting tight below.\nIf India wants equitable treatment, it should first make itself the best place in the world for an Indian to live and work in. The more you rely on the others for visas, the more likely they are to refuse you.

Indians want to run away from VishwaGuru , earlier it was US & Europe, now they are ok with any country.

Australia has an almost identical situation as Canada. Ludicrously expensive housing, banking, cost of living, lack of competition in supermarkets/banks/airlines etc. \nI live in a OK-nice home in an OK area and my house would sell for $1.6M. If anyone young wants to buy now, they’d literally not be able to.

To build the wall is realistic but to deport these people is not, one can take out 100 persons as a great resounding demo but it won’t do any good. The resources are not going to be well spent. Trump is smart but this is like his brother Fred. He wanted to fly planes, just let him. It’s ok not to be a tycoon in real estate. I take community college classes with these children, they are decent, hardworking and respectful people, they are a plus and a bonus to America, they were raised seeing the struggle of their parents.

If Mexico wants to impose tariff on Mexican products them Mexico should impose any tariff on products coming from South Countries Countries, and eventually, the smart Trump supporters will pay more, but still will be ok with them !

Mexico wants to act tough? OK, stay third world then. You're done. The cartels run your shit anyway. I'd rather go overseas and be respected than to deal with Mexico next door and be disrespected.

I am definitely ok on cracking down illegal immigration and there should be criminal charges for employers that employ these migrant workers with slave wages. However with that being said to deport almost 20 million people that make up more than 50% agricultural workers in the country is a logistical nightmare. Once these migrants go these jobs will need to be filled presumably by Americans that command higher wages. I mean if Trump said he wanted to bring cost of groceries down this might not turn into a good plan.

True story:\nMy sister-in-law is a Mexican citizen. A beautiful, kind and intelligent woman. She is college graduate with a productive career and is a home owner. She has been trying to get her visa to VISIT the United States since my 10 year old daughter was a baby. Her next appointment is in 2025. It can be a very long and tedious process.\nPeople make it sound so easy. “Just do it the right way!” They have no idea what they’re talking about.\nMy sister-in-law doesn’t even want to move here, she just wants to visit her nieces and nephews and they make her jump through so many hoops.\nAt her last appointment, she answered a question honestly when they asked why she wanted to visit the United States, she said, “to visit my family.”\nThe interviewer told her, “ok, that is fine, but do NOT ever mention this again in any other interview. Say that you want to go to Disneyland or the malls or something. Do not let them know that you have family there, or they will think that you will try to stay!”\nThey have a script that you need to follow. They’re not looking for honesty.

Everyone says we need a stop to qll immigration, my question is why is our government not doing what the people they work for want? The insanity of even suggesting that any immigration is ok when rent is like 2k a month for a small one bedroom apartment is something else.

Until they come to take her granddaughter and grandson who wasn’t born here away or until its a problem with citizenship because ice found out the parents snuck in this country to just have that baby thinking it would be ok…\nPEOPLE LIKE HER WILL FIND OUT THE HARD WAY GET READY BECAUSE ITS COMING… \nYou think the republican party wants you here??? When the majority already feel like its to many of you?? \nLatinos will be begging dems to let them back in after this 4 years is up… watch and see

This is why you should not watch CNN or any of the legacy media. These people don’t have a clue. They distort the facts, they are hypocrites on their policies . They don’t want fair and equal justice. They are ok with corrupt government and elections, high crime, high taxes, high inflation. They love the deep state and they are terrible liars.

Ok now you want to do something on the border. Unbelievable.

Dont forget my no income tax please. Pay for this where ever you want. Tariff is ok. Dont raise my taxes and actually remove income taxes like you promised. No lying no backsies. ?

Trump wants to end the present practice of bringing one's family to the USA. The Cuban woman with the MAGA hat doesn't give a shit about other people as long as she is ok. These are truly ignorant immigrants.

It is so selfishness. She said I don't care as long as I'm OK. These people are foriginals, but they don't want the other people to get what they get. This is very sad.

Wait, so _why_ would she be ok with his plans?? She just said reasons why she should _not_ be ok with them. She waited forever for her card and he wants to send legal _and_ illegal immigrants out… after all the trouble she went through…?

Ok good should be higher. Nomore we must adapt and heal to want has happen to canada. Now kick out all illegals. Properly come or stay out.

Ok but still what if some of them want to leave and go to Saudi Arabia would they about them\nLike if I would be living there I would want to just move out of there and into a quiet place with no wars\nI actually thought that this was the question

We’re bringing to many people into this country. Why is not ok to want to live in country that’s not overpopulated.

Why is it ok to move Syrians but not Palestinians? I'm sure they didn't want to leave their homes either.

I can tell you one of the major reasons. It is the fact that these immigrants from India do not want to assimilate into Canada. Instead they bring their ways with them into Canada and some of those “ways”, are not acceptable in Canada. One example of that is the whole using the bathroom on the beach. But one that hits hard for me is the insane amount of immigrants that are harvesting spawning salmon with nets, without any of the properly paperwork that is needed to fish salmon with a rod. Using a net is illegal, I know they know it because when I catch them doing this. They become quiet and all of a sudden, after hearing them just speaking English, they pretend they do not know English… I can tell you this is all true. The other thing I have seen with my eyes is shop lifting from the local grocery store. I have never seen that before, not ever in all my years living here. It would be somewhat different if they were stealing essential items and essential foods. But they are not doing that, they are stealing all the luxury items. I am a white Canadian and I am proud of it, but guess what. I am also proud of the fact that I have a doctor that came from India and his family is thriving here. It makes me proud that he chose our country try to come to, with his educational background, it also makes me proud that he and his family have taken the time to try and assimilate into our culture. When I say assimilate by the way, I do not want them or and immigrant to completely abandon their cultures, I just would prefer it if they assimilate to the point where we can have a healthy community instead of all these separate cultural areas in our towns and cities. I love the fact that you spoke some harsh truths here sir, much respect to you and your family sir. I hope you can continue making such informative videos for people to learn from. The other thing I have to add is that the word racism is thrown around too much and too easily in our current woke cultural climate here in Canada and this is just making the immigration issues worse because it produces a culture of fear for those Canadians that would like to help educate those immigrants that need help. But they do not do so because they are afraid of being labeled a racist or some other word and having their livelihoods and overall lives ruined. I am in a position in life where I do not care if people want to say such things about me. I am also well educated and in the position to come up with well articulated arguments in my defence. My main issue with immigration that bothers me more than the rest not only affects us Canadians but also affects the immigrants as well. Ok so before mass immigration was a thing here in Canada our healthcare system that we all used to be extremely proud of the as showing too many cracks and we knew it was falling apart. You think the government would place more funding into the healthcare system. Well that has not happened and if anything they have taken more funds away from our healthcare system than any other time in our country’s history. So before the mass immigration begun we had a major issue with having way too many patients and not enough medical staff to adequately treat everyone in a timely and healthy manner. So now think about that, the healthcare system was already stressed with the current population before mass immigration. How do you think adding waves and waves of more people every year via mass immigration is affecting that system? The answer is this… if the system was stressed beforehand, it is collapsing now. I am one of the lucky few that has a family doctor right now. It takes three months the just for me to see her… If I have an emergency and have to call 911, the ambulance will take me up to the local ER and then I will be wheeled out to the waiting room, which defeats the purpose of me calling 911 for a ambulance. I have waited two days at the local ER just to see a doctor. So here is where it affects the immigrants coming in. If a Canadian that was here before you is already having major issues with the healthcare, then I can only imagine how hard it will be for a new citizen to our country, nuff said really… the local er near me had a person die in the waiting room this past January. Add to this fact that I am actually pretty sick at the moment and so are my parents and you can understand why I am upset about our failing healthcare system. The politicians do not have to worry about our such issues though because they can afford to pay to go outside of Canada and pay cold hard cash for medical treatment. That is why they do not mind removing funds from our healthcare system, it will not affect them and they get to line their pockets with more of our tax money… I honestly place most of the blame for what is going on right now on Trudeau’s government and not the immigrants. The immigrants could help make this crappy situation a lot better for both of our parties though if they tried a little harder to adapt to our ways of life here. When in Canada try to live like a Canadian, I do not think that is asking much. Again, as for racism, I believe in judging a person by their actions and not by the colour of their skin. Racism is such an antiquated way of thinking… Our skin colours maybe different, just like our cultural backgrounds, but after all is said and done we are all members of the human race. Cheers all!!!?\n\nP.S. There is one other reason that hatred towards member of your country is going up and it is simply because our hatred for our own government is so high right now and we are all only human. Some of us lash out at people that do not deserve it when we are really upset. That doesn’t make it ok. But I know that the fact that we Canadians hate our government more than ever right now, is due to the simple fact that our own government is not listening to our issues and what we want done with our country. Then that same government will labels us as right wing extremists simply for the fact that we no longer support our current government for example. Canadians are more angry now than they have ever been. The RCMP have been advised about this across the whole of Canada, so you know it is a real issue. I can control myself and will never snap at others due to how frustrated I am, so I would like to apologize to those of you that may have a bad experience with another frustrated Canadian. This is really not our normal behaviour. We’re are all stressed out and being called the bad guys by our own government just exacerbates the whole issue. Again, cheers to you all!!!

Dude actually expects services in his language or what? Learn the language before you go there. You don't go to china and expect everyone to speak english either, right? For vacation ok, but if you want to live there, do something before you get there.

ok fact 1 india is known as the most racist country in the world. Fact 2 indians want canadians to hire them but any other race be it white black asian etc try to get hired by them not gonna happen i have experienced it myself. They say hell no we wont go i say hell yes go in mass!!
