This is the look of freedom. This is the human spirit showing us that the will to live, to be free takes precedent over nationality, culture, etc. The United States NEVER stopped being an oasis in the world’s mind. It is an icon of breaking from from tyranny, oppression even if the USA doesn’t deserve that designation. Or, maybe the U.S. doesn’t belong to u.s. children if immigrants as we believe. Maybe, the U.S. really belongs to every tired and huddled mass yearning to be free. Who are we, Americans, to decide our legacy was over? Maybe, we ran into trouble when we forgot what we are, and why our own ancestors came here. The people of the world have spoken. We have no right to withhold safe refuge from those fleeing death and oppression. Instead of hanging with dictators, maybe our highest national “leader” should return to his original mantra of demanding other nations provide safety for their own, so that their own stop feeling the need to flee. This is the vast majority of migrants’ character. We can separate law breakers from the masses, without accusing the masses of criminality.

ATTEMPTED ?????? you are seeing this right now cause they just can't help themselves using these people as pawns to make Trumps policies look bad. Hoping for some front page pictures of poor little Migrants getting pepper sprayed.. when they are trying to enter illegally ! It's disgusting. When are you left braindead fools gonna wake up and see what they are doing?

Im all for migrant rights and path to citizenship but this is not the right way of doing it. This shouldn't have happened.

These migrants are so entitled. They believe they have the right to illegally enter a country and force themselves in. Thank God for Trump

I pray for these people, they need to understand they need papers to be legal here in the US and i hope they do, I'm sorry, no more illegal migrants I'm not racist everybody deserves a second chance in this life but The Right WAY! They are welcome. But come on do it right

As someone who has done the immigration process legally, and know of people who have done it legally, I think it’s unfair that these illegal migrants can just come while I and those who done the process right had to pay a lot of money and wait a long time. People who are against this why don’t you understand? I have family who in their own country had to wait a LONG time for a visa just to visit the US and pay a lot too. I’m grateful for that Trump came into the office

They are called ilegals for being undocumented... because if they were documented they will be called legal migrants, which they are not.. hence breaking the law for being ilegals..get it right news people...

This is the lesson that, a country should not be a shelter home for every migrant. Trump was right about that.\n\nColombia now don't want their people in the country. ??

Convicted Felon \n\nThe migrants are welcome and they will come back no matter if you like it or not. \n\nForget what the Criminal Felon says.\n\n\n****Anyone who respond to my comment will be talking to themselves. I never receive any notifications for comments so if you like talking to yourself, go right ahead.*****

I understand their right to do that if they voted for it but why does Trump keep saying that Canadians need to secure the U.S. border when less than 1% of the migrants come from Canada and less than 0.01% of the fentanyl comes from Canada but illegals are coming from the U.S. into Canada and 90% of the guns used in murders in Canada came from America! Also 80-90% of the narcotics comes through the U.S.

Stop whitewashing your wording. They are not undocumented migrants. They are illegal immigrants! I'm sorry that words hurt you guys and possibly the majority of your viewers but that's the truth! If someone wants to come here, I have no problem with that nor do the majority of Americans. This is an amazing nation. However, there are many legal ways to do it. I've served with several fellow Marines that did it the right (legal) way. And let's not forget, it's not only people from Central and South America that are pouring across that southern border. We've caught countless people on the terrorist watch list including people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the like pouring across the border because they know how easy it is. Everyone is just mad because we finally have leadership that is doing something about it. And apparently, the libtards are either simply naive enough to think bad people would not come across the border and all those caravans are full of innocent women and children or they are trying to bring about the downfall and collapse of the United States. This is all simply ridiculous!

The US can't treat Colombian migrants as criminals, what is that guy smoking and what is this reporter smoking for not correcting that absolute moron? It wasn't Planes full of migrants it was playing full of illegals you know people that come to America illegally as in snuck through our borders they are not here in a legal capacity whatsoever. And you do realize the Trump ordered the removal of all the dangerous criminals first right? All these people being taken back in these first few weeks weeks are all criminals with records murderers rapists drug runners gang members etc..

Ohhhh... So you mean those migrants really aren't valid asylum seekers since they're going right back home. EXACTLY what we thought.

It’s not “ undocumented” migrants. It’s ILLEGAL ALIENS get it right

What happens when SOUTH AMERICA as a TRADING BLOCK Tariffs the U.S. out of its inflammatory practice of...\n \nwanting migrant work for produce picking, packing/stocking....\n\nbut, swiftly penalizing them (migrants) when they try to get citizenship. So they can b ethically paid. Hv rights. Etc.\n\nWho will add to the U.S. exports, by doing the types of labor...\n\nAmericans hate & refuse to do......\nMigrant level Work for Migrant level Wages. Hmm?

Migrants tou have a right to stay in America on the stolen land the American people stole from natives.

Stop treating migrants like criminals. Deportation flights shouldn’t be done like some ConAir. Dignity is a human right.

Breaking into this country is against the law. We will not be invaded at any border! You have NO RIGHTS in America as an illegal migrant.

Your editor needs to be fired! They are not migrants they are ILLEGAL ALIENS and you need to get it right because there is a HUGE difference!!!!!!!!!!! Migrants come the legal way and not sneaking thru Canada.

GUYANA is a right next door to Venezuela and because of oil is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. GUYANA ACTUALLY NEED MIGRANTS.

These illegal migrants invaders Indians should be removed and deported back to India. They have no rights to stayed in America. They are not refugees and cannot come to America for asylum seekers.

If Mexico wants to play hard ball, close the border, require passports to enter and leave. We offer some of the illegal emigrants and some of the migrants an opportunity. You take over the jobs that the Mexican were doing and we'll let you EARN American citizenship; Like speaking English and memorizing the Bill of Rights. You earn it and a few thousand illegal emigrants have the ability to earn American citizenship and can remain.

Trump is 1000% right. I say this as a Canadian. Mexico is dumping Honduran and Venezuelans from the south and East Indians are entering from the north. When they realize how expensive it is in Canada many will try and cross illegally. Trudeau accepted way too many migrants and there are no homes for all of them

Americans long for a better job a better life but they can’t afford it so they live on the streets. They don’t have the right to work if they are illegal. They are economic migrants and that is not a asylum claim

R u supporting ministers speech here? Its better u share your opinion based on analysis rather than translating that video. I have been watching your videos for many years and recently your opinions have been against indian immigrants. People who came to Canada before covid and easily got PR are acting axactly like u right now. This video of PM is criticized by many with rationality. Migrants are facing negative sentiments from citizens and its sad u being an immigrant originally not understanding them.

Mexico has been aiding & abetting illegal migrants/ drugs for years; it must stop. CNN context is: Abott & Hooman are right. Rpt. it All.. Thanks

The Biden administration deported more undocumented immigrants in 2 years than Trump deported in 4 years.\n\nThey did it without hate speech, without divisive hate, without lies, propaganda, and ignorant rhetoric. They did it without separating families, without inhumane conditions, and promoting an environment of fear. They did it without breaking any US laws, without breaking international laws, and without violating the Geneva Convention. They did it without violating the rights of asylum seekers.\n\nThey did it without forcing a government shutdown, declaring a fake national emergency, and using it to steal $15 billion from the defense/military budget for a wall Mexico didn’t pay for, to be built when a wall already stood. $15 billion for 54 new miles of fencing? What’s the art of THAT deal? That money, OUR money, the military’s money, could have hired a bunch of new border patrol agents, and implemented a TON of technology, drones, independent monitoring centers, flood lights, high quality cameras….but nope. We got more of the same sh¡t we’ve had for 30 years. Walls. If walls work so well, then why doesn’t the wall that already exists keep people out? Fu€|<ing stupid use of our money. I worked at the southern border for 10+ years. I once watched someone drive a truck over a border wall with two thick boards on each side, which they just kept there for next time. It took less than 5 minutes. Because walls aren’t magical.\n\nTrump plans to terminate programs like birthright citizenship, DACA, migrant visas, green cards, military service….and he’s planning to deport people who were born here, have citizenship, but their parents weren’t citizens at the time, so he’s deporting them. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. But neither does Trump. Who, BTW married TWO IMMIGRANTS who were undocumented at the time. 4 of his 5 kids were born to an immigrant. Melania’s parents are here through “chain migration.” But, he’s taking that away now, too. JD Vance’s wife is of Indian descent. These are the 2 men who want to kick out immigrants. Undocumented immigrants contributed nearly $100 billion to the economy & social security in 2022 alone. They pay the same sales taxes we do. But they don’t have access to the social programs they’re paying into & they don’t get tax returns. WE KEEP THEM. But sure, let’s kick them all out. Any ONE of trump’s plans is going to cripple our economy anyway. \n\nThings are going to get really, really bad, guys.

“Not all migrants are welcome.” (Minister of Immigration)\n\nSo that means, you guys are still going to let some of them in. Right. \n\n?

For once Trudeau show some backbone and refuse migrants. Canada needs to prepare by beefing up security and flatly refusing migrants. Come on Trudea do something right for a change you spineless ass !

They keep talking about losing a huge part of the workforce with mass deportations. So Americans aren’t looking for work? I’ve worked for Amazon for 3 and a half years now. I transferred from Va back home to ny last October. In va Americans are being hired. In ny Amazon is literally hiring nothing but Haitians. We hire a hundred and twenty people every year between July and January for prime and peek. I promise you without any iota of exaggeration, every last new hire is Haitian. I know of plenty of ppl who have applied to no avail. They really need to say if you’re American don’t apply. They get tax credits for hiring them. And because of this they do little to no work because they know nothing will happen to them. So all of the work falls on us . Out of the 120 new hires this year and last year 115 are under 27. They try to alienate us , intimidate us,and are extremely rude to anyone who isn’t Haitian. These are young people who are on straight gang time. I’m a black man telling you this and I’m from the street. It took me 6 years to finally make 20 dollars an hr, they come right over making the same as me while I’m working harder to accommodate their lack of productivity and at the same time hope I don’t lose my job for standing up to their rudeness and intimidation tactics. But the media will have ppl convinced that these are hard working meek and humble ppl just trying to make a better life for them and their families. I’m 45 years old and every year of my life we have always had a block party every summers end . For the last three years none. Because my neighborhood has been inundated with migrants who don’t care to assimilate.

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.

I think ill swap and head south. Because Canada is an absolute mess. Even the thought of bringing anyone else into this country is insane right. Tent cities everywhere while migrants are living in hotels for free.

That’s why Trump targeted all uneducated people because he sounds good in talk but doesn’t do anything either. I wish we could start again like 20 years ago because now some illegal migrants that have been here for 5-20 years think they have American rights they are still illegal and have no American rights. All criminals, people collecting federal/ state benefits are anyone coming over here pregnant should be consider illegal. I’m willing to pay to clean up our country then paying to support these illegal migrants. If they own a home they should be deported too because I’m sure they lied or committed fraud to even buy a home. We all work our life to obtain our dream but they are given preference instead of veterans, our homeless and American people.

We can’t save the world ?… there is a process for migration ?…just as ancestors fought wars for democracy —the migrants ought to have gathered their millions and stood for their rights in their country. Their corrupt governments thrive because the “millions” that left did not fight and stay in their lands ?. It seems easier to escape. Unfair to the people that have waited months and years to come here, also those that could be waiting to legally arrive have contributions to the USA… a lot have not practiced “planned parenthood”~~culturally have large families and continue to make babies when they can’t even feed the ones they have ?. We have enough uneducated, homeless and impoverished populations through out America. It is time to take care of our disaster victims, veterans, seniors, mentally ill, and homeless ?…Our towns are flooded with helpless humans and stray animals .,

conveniently misnaming illegal migrants as refugees just to implement the soros plan. illegal migrants have no rights to any country except their own. period. take them back, let them apply through the proper channels for whatever they want to apply for. from their own country. it used to take the canadian authorities 3-4-5 years to grant temporary resident visas. I wonder how much those at the top received from soros to throw those rules into the bin and let anyone and everyone into canada without any vetting whatsoever.

NO MORE SERVICES AND AID FOR MIGRANTS!! THEY ARENT CITIZENS, THEY DO NOT HAVE RIGHTS TO THIS COUNTRY.

F**k the international human rights obligations. If this government lets is these migrants from the US, they are finished. Most of them came through a safe first country: Mexico. This is not Canada's problems. Perhaps the bleeding hearts should join them on their journey to Mexico.

TRUMP IS RIGHT THO THEYRE LETTING CRIMINALS INTO OUT COUNTRY I BEEN NOTICED THEY HAD TO GTFOH MONTHS AGO LOL AT FIRST I HAD NO ISSUE BUT WHEN I COULDNT GET HIRED FOR MONTHS IN MY OWN COUNTRY CAUSE ALL THEY DO IS HIRE MIGRANTS OOO NAH BYE BYE MIGRANTS BACK TO YOUR SAND HUTS

IM BLACK AND MY OTHER BLACK COWORKER IN TEXAS TOLD ME BACK IN MARCH 2024 NOT TO TRUST THESE MIGRANTS THEYRE NOT COMING HERE FOR A GOOD CAUSE AND SOMETHING IS DEF UP AND I FEEL HES RIGHT BUT HE WASNT BEING FULL FORWARD WITH ME ABOUT WHY NOT

Canada will have to allow all migrants to enter.\nIt is a human rights abuse to ensure they are not criminals or terrorists.

Remain in Mexico applies to arriving aliens applying for asylum, not asylum seekers who have already been admitted. The latter contravenes federal immigration law, and that's something that a President can't do via executive order. As well, if we deport asylum seekers to a different country, or make asylum seekers wait in another country as their asylum cases are adjudicated, the US government is STILL responsible for providing essential resources and ensuring their safety (this includes providing migrant centers) and the US cannot impede on their right to counsel - and by virtue of making them stay in another country that doesn't HAVE US immigration attorneys, this DOES impede their access to legal council, which is an immediate infringement on civil rights and a key reason why Remain in Mexico was challenged up to the Supreme Court and was kept from fully going into effect.

This guy is so full of it!!! Right here where i live in NYC we have illegal migrants here who HAVE committed crimes, were arrested and thanks to the Radial LEFT DA they were let back out on the streets! Some of them are part of Tren De Aragua So to say ICE will get them etc is BS as NY is a sanctuary city and ICE and our local Police aren't allowed to communicate regarding Illegals This is one of MANY reasons Trump will be back in the White House on January 20th

Apart from the huge deportation project being inhumane and fascist, why is nobody even mentioning the political prerequisite of readmission agreements? You cannot just dump thousands of migrants back on the countries they came from, especially if these are countries that are classed as dangerous and unlivable. Generally they do NOT take them back and even if there is a readmission agreement they will invoke other reasons not to admit them. Immigrants or refugees can also lawyer up and show that they will face prison, torture , persecution, war or starvation in their country of origin which makes it a human rights offence to deport them. I know this because I often interpret EU meetings on migration and asylum. Most immigrants can never be returned and would rather die or abscond than to return as a failed emigrant or be imprisoned, tortured, persecuted, die fighting or of starvation.

The kind of deportation Trump has been talking about has gone beyond people that are here illegally. Trump has expanded it to include what he calls 'undocumented' migrants. That group includes people waiting for their asylum hearings, DACA recipients and protected status migrants/refugees, and people that have already had their asylum hearings, but are awaiting their citizenship hearings. \nAs for the narrative about 'murderers' and 'violent/horrible' criminals being in our country, it's like....wait...what??? Now, if you KNOW a person is a convicted murderer or horrible criminal, WHY would you allow them into or allow them to stay in this country to begin with? And, you'd kind of have to allow them to stay, otherwise, how the hell would you know how many of them are here?? Or who they are?? You can bet your butt that Pres. Biden didn't allow any people like this, that weren't in our prison system, yet 'known' to remain on US soil. That's not how it works! Not to mention, a large portion of the 13 to 15,000 number that Trump and the Right keep tossing out there, are from when Trump was in office! NOT during Pres. Biden's administration! \nIt's all been a lie manufactured for one purpose: to scare monger Trump's base. And it worked. Now Trump 'has a mandate' to put on an insane, cruel, probably hugely illegal 'show', of him rounding up large numbers of people and shipping them off to who the hell knows where..... whether they were here illegally or not. (he's already vowed to deport the 20,000 Haitians in Springfield, even tho they entered the country, LEGALLY, while TRUMP was president! HE is the one that signed their protected status into law!) Trump's deportation extravaganza is going to be ugly, brutal, bloody, grim and senselessly cruel, to a great many people that more likely than not, have no reason to be deported.

That's the result for being abuse their rights as migrant today they speak racist

How is it migrants get paid to move here? They also get healthcare,ebt and housing. All be while citizens pay taxes, slave to even in food on the table and go in debt. We also have a homeless crisis. Millions of American citizens have been waiting years for housing. Seniors Ave disabled are dying on the streets right now while migrants get the very help that is should have gone to the Americans. This is a shameful country and this government is doing nothing!!!!

Stop pressuring countries to let migrants in when they have made the informed decision it’s not for them. They have autonomy and a right to refuse migrants, especially when they are responsible for housing and feeding them, they don’t have those resources to do this for long and it’s a drain on the economy.

Dear Hind Hassan why I never seen any of your videos on topics like criminality in Europe caused by immigrants? Drugs, rapes, religion based assaults, homophobic or xenophobic attacks, violence and sexism against females?! Hm ? You always just advocates for this poor immigrants who try to flee war zones!! Where in the heck is war in Afghanistan now? Isn’t status of war refugee obtained by the law that they can apply for asylum in first safe country? If they doesn’t do ir then they are not refugees, they are economic migrants and therefore without right to demand the entry to Europe!! Me as well as European citizen if I want to go out of EU and we have no free visa policy with that country I need to apply for Visa, I do not go simply to the border with that country and requesting the entry out of nowhere!! There are certain legal procedures what applies even to us westerners and we need to follow them as well!!!

Immigration is fine, but need to be a bit more selective though. It appears as there is only one country that is supplying immigrants to Canada currently, India. Which is not fair to anybody as it defeats multiculturalism. Why there is only one race dominating? So many Indians everywhere. \n\nBring migrant from all over the world instead, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, why just India. Something is not right.
