And another thing she don't realize is. They don't just come to your house and say okay. You guys get together and get your stuff. We're gonna put you in a bus and take you back to the border. No, they violently arrest you like your criminal. And throw you in jail for months sometimes years at a time waiting to be deported. And if you think you'll all be deported at once, you got another thing coming. The man might go and jump. The woman might go in July. The kids might go separately next year. If you don't believe me. I saw it with my own eyes in 2019. I was locked up in Colorado. I watched them raid construction sites hospitals. Numerous other businesses arresting hard work in Mexican people. Imagine all the nurses and workers at hospitals that are from other countries. I watched them arresting nurses. Arresting tab drivers Uber drivers. I watched them raid schools and arrest children. I watched them put these poor people in jails with real criminals. All the immigrants loved me. I was actually in a federal and ICE facility. So I literally saw all of the immigrants. I protected them from the racist white people. I'm from Tampa Florida, so I'm used to the jails and prisons being majority, black guys. But in Colorado, it's white supremace, gangs and Mexican gangs. What's even more sickening? Is people from Washington would come in and take some of the Indians out. And when they came back, I would ask them questions and they said that the government people would get information on their family back in India and see if they could pay 50k to stay in America. It was sickening. I found out that what they were doing was deporting. Poor people and the people that have money back in their country. They have their families send money and let them stay. I saw it with my own eyes.

How come nobody tells them the laws have changed? \n\nWhen she stood in line the laws were not the same as they are now. Her cousins wouldn't be standing in line for days they could be waiting for 20 years to get in.

So only now Canada is tightening up our border after 7 years after Trudeau tells immigrants to come to Canada our doors are open after letting in over 2-3 millions in the last few years ???

As a swede who lived in Munich for a year, not again thanks

Don’t worry, she’ll be singing a completely different tune this time next year when those P2025 measures begin to be implemented. It’s just too bad that people with common sense will be forced to suffer along side the people who voted for the chaos that is coming. \n\nI am also amazed by how many people voted, THEN decided to look up the candidates proposed policies. There was one woman who voted for Trump, and then said how excited she was because now, she could get the $25,000 down payment assistance for a new home. ??‍♀️ (For those who may not know, that was a Harris proposal). Take some time to look up all of the stories of people who are contacting state officials to find out how to change their vote…as if THAT has ever been possible. ?

Vacations once or twice a year? I definitely need to know this Canada you're talking about. I live here for 14 years and I never had that privilege... and like millions of qualified immigrants, I spend a lot of money and effort and life to come to this place that was never home. On the top, you're right. There's all this poverty going on like you're describing, but there's so much more than that... and it's going to get really worst after Trump gets back, next January. Oh yeah...

what was not mentioned in this short video that should have been is proof that immigration is not causing the housing crisis. That is that the housing crisis now extends to small towns and rural areas. It's almost as expensive to rent in those areas these days. I know this because I have been seeking to move out of Montreal to a smaller town for the past 3 years and cannot find anything in my price range (been looking at rural Quebec and Ontario). \n\nHere's the thing, immigrants come to major urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver and to a lesser degree, Montreal. They do not go to rural areas or small towns at least, not in the first few years they're here. Given that, why does the housing crisis extend to small town and rural areas if migrants are not coming to those places?

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.

Illegal immigrants are punishing legal immigrants , who apply through the regulations for ten+ years

So what.!!! He is doing what should have been done when reagan was in office. Our countries security has been ignored for over 40 years and all of you former presidents ignored americans security.

The likelihood of obtaining a green card after being deported is slim to none. As it is, the wait time for someone from Mexico can be significantly long, often exceeding 20 years, especially for family-based petitions like siblings of U.S. citizens. So… yeah. Add a deportation to their file and you’re basically never seeing them again. Immigration is not like it used to be—when she stood in line for a matter of days.

PUT A PER COUNTRY CAP ON IMMIGRATION. Start with India. As a matter of fact, stop the visa issuance to Indian citizens for a few years and do not extend the working visas of Indian international students. LOWER THE NUMBER OF INDIANS IN CANADA!

My youngest son would not be alive today if he was born in the states. rare heart condition had multiple heart surgeries and spent 6 months in ICU at Children's hospital. My wife and I although working would have not had health care insurance. we did not have to pay a cent. Now as a family who makes a very good living 180k a year I am happy to pay high taxes to support families who are going through the same things

No other country in the world allows you within their borders for 20-30 years and not apply for citizenship or residency…

For everyone here blaming the government. Who rans the country is not just the PM but a bunch of them including the opposition.I am not defending anyone, I am just putting some light on the financial situation we are all in. NOW lets remind everyone about what everyone seemed to have forgot about it, which is our external debt and which is what has put our country in the situation we are now. By the end of the 2024-25 fiscal year, Canada’s total market debt is expected to surpass $1.4 trillion compared to the USA which is of 17 trillion In March 2024, don't think we are doing that bad.\nEvery day our debt grows by more than $100 million, and every second, Canada pays more than $1,200 in interest.\nThere is more that just paying taxes. WE HAVE A DEBT AND WE NEED TO PAY IT OFF.

One day... All this ego will vanish... Just wait 20 years... Ye ghamand lekar dubega tumlogoko...

So happy for America and am prouder to be an American than over 4 terrible years under the Biden/harris dictatorship! No more of the wokeness! America comes first period! Common sense won out this election! Democrats called fooled by the lies the BS fake news we’re telling them. Majority of Americans saw right through this fake crap!

Good you're about 6 years too late though.

I once hired some American laborers. Gave them a shovel to dig. They looked at me and said we don't do that. What!! Took them back home. Grabbed some Hispanic laborers the next day. No complaints got the job done. \n\nLet's see what's gonna happen in the next year

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.

Elon Musk will help Trump with the money he helped Trump with rigging the voting. This plan has been well thought out for some years

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.

Proud dual citizen Canadian here. Love the country, people and culture. However, the Liberal politics of the last 9 years have been a disaster, from high inflation, uncontrolled immigration, lack of pro business investments, homelessness, housing… this is to list just a few issues. The same thing has been happening in the US and Western Europe. Thank you God for helping elect Donald Trump. Many on this forum may not like the guy, but he was before, and will be good for the country, economy, overall people of the US and indirectly Canada. The Trudeau gang must go, a monkey could do a better job governing this beautiful Canada than that moron Trudeau. Do you all remember him saying…. “ the budget will balance itself”…. WTF… Really Justin???

Absolutely deplorable. She gave him an opportunity to say something nice like they won’t deport a 99 year old\ngrandmother who swam her from Cuba 50 years ago if she’s “one of the good one.”\n\nInstead he blamed the American people who gave them a mandate. You’re just a single issue voter who cares about their job or prolife, but you spoke loud and clear that they all have to go. Apparently it’s easy to find them even though they never did, and if you just ruin their life here then they will probably want to leave.\n\nAnd once they get rid of the illegals they can get to the bottom of why the police weren’t reporting that hundreds of thousands of Americans were being killed each year by border crossers because that’s what Trump said.

Canada stopped being attractive to Western and Central Europeans about 15 years ago. Since about 2008, we've only been getting people from the developing world - China, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, African states, Arab states, etc. And so today, Canada looks the way it does. And now it's not attractive to ANYONE. Even the Chinese and Indians have realized it's not worth coming over. A whole country destroyed over two generations. Well done, Harper and Trudeau. Well done! Papa Schwab is very proud.

If Kmart Harris was president she would allow more illegal immigrants in this country to get in like it's Disney World for the next four years. People need to WAKE UP!!! Stop voting based off of IDENTITY!!!

Someone has been living in the country for over 20 years or 30 years with no criminal records, working hard, and contributing to the economy and modern civilization as a whole and you think such a person is not worthy to remain in the country? And you consider such a person a criminal? What sort of people are these Trump Supporters for God's sake?!

What are horrible 4 years is coming to America I hope everyone's happy after the 4 years if he leaves !!!! ?

adios to the economy of usa example florida in sarasota county is garbich for all over the county ,, ellen and milton make this happen , and i think it will be like this all over next year 2025 ,,

Trump avoids prison and we're sentenced to four years..If you are Latino and voted for this Monkey..You will pay the price........América is Great!! The American dream..Get ready for Deportation Latinos..Latin America and Mexico....

Hours??? Bitch I’ve been waiting 20 years and I’m still here working hard, paying my taxes and doing my part. Typical idiot that got what they wanted and turn their back at their people. You will NEVER be white!! Stop trying so hard to fit in. .l. Pinche vieja pendeja

The new boarder zare was told it would cost 8 billion a year to send 1 million back He said he did not see how much but looked shocked So was I.

That idiot not even remember how long she has been in this country, I remember how long I have been here (43 years and 10 months)

You got 4 years Trump not 10….

This politician is such a simpleton.\n\nIf by miracle the Republicans remove all so-called illegal immigrants, Republicans better get ready for severe push back from growers who have no one harvesting their crops, hotel owners who have no one to clean their hotel rooms and cater to guests etcétera.\n\nThe list is endless of the trickle down effect of mass deportation is going to play on the economy and in turn, the cost of goods and services.\n\nWay to address the concerns (the economy) of your constituents (voters) Republicans.\n\nIt's ok since in two years the House will be back to a majority blue and ready to impede Trumps' right-wing agenda.

Hi. My five times great grandfather jumped ship from the British navy… can. I be considered illegal and deported? This place is a effing mess and four years under Trump was more than enough

Seriously ? the USA ?? is no longer safe for natural citizens.\nImagine 4 years of it’s mouth?!\nI had a hateful, racist, disgustingly insane, narcissistic owner of a shop.\nI rented off of and he was psychotically, mentally depraved with these Jim Jones like rants.\n? ALL day long.\nCouldn’t wait for him to leave for the day, just to turn the television OFF!\nJust because you are mentally obtunded do NOT assume everyone else is as psychotically depraved as you are.

Fuck CNN and mainstream media. Here’s the scoop Democrats have lost the black vote. They have kept blacks on the plantation in your own neighborhoods shut the fuck up except for every two and four years when we need your vote oh and here’s some food stamps and welfare.now that the brown is the black. Eat shit fake news and Democrats. Hope to see you in military tribunal soon.

By voting in a fascist criminal, this generation has forsaken and forfeited 248 years of democracy. Something we have fought multiple enemies and wars to preserve. The amount of disrespect for that, and for all who sacrificed, is staggering. \n \nThis version of America is a self centered embarrassment. It doesn't deserve the sacrifices made to retain our freedoms and will go down as the worst generation in our history. \n \nRIP America.

This is like the people who hate student loan forgiveness because they had to eat ramen for 30 years while the govt charged them up to 8% interest- except way, way worse.

She waited in line for a green card???? I don't believe her story--it takes months to years to get citizenship, much less a green card! Personally, I think she married an American white man, and got in that way.

This is Insane!!! What The Hell People?!?!?! I hope that the people on Social Security/Disability & Medicare are prepared for your benefits to be slashed or nonexistent, because MILLIONS of those illegal immigrants are what's allowing you to receive your benefits. Illegals pay in around $96 Billion Dollars into Social Security and Medicare yearly... even though they cannot receive any of those benefits. I know if my benefits change, I'm going to be PISSED!!! It's hard enough to live as it is. We are in for some really dark times people!!!

QUE???? I’m a Mexican American too. This lady reminds me of one of my tias who basically gave away that she also voted for trump. How could you do that to your own family? It literally takes YEARS, DECADES for so many people to even get citizenship. But this lady is okay deciding the lives of other people because for her, getting her citizenship was easy. It’s not easy for most people. And so many people die trying to do it legally. And our government demonizes them for it.

Democrats will not be in power for another 75-80 years

20-30 years and still no citizenship, she must know how long it takes. “They don’t talk to me now.” I wonder why.

Waiting for hours and days is not long. I am married to a man from Haiti whose family had to wait 11 years. They should all wait in line, but if they are already here and working without a criminal background, they should apply. You should not skip the line because you are next to the US. But her putting her family under the bus is crazy.

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.

I don’t believe her. I have lived at the border for 30 years - most at her age got amnesty from Regan. I was a young adult at that time. It was a REALLY big deal with most Americans- and not in a positive way. Voted Blue ????

Did... he just say that there are some 12 million illegal or otherwise undocumented people in this country but that they've never committed a crime here? Was he even listening to himself? Where does this dis-connect come from? As bad as Trump is, and I hoped he would not win last week, this is the 1 single thing that I agree has got to be done: If you are in this country illegally, you need to be deported no excuses no anchor-babies no nothing! You do not get to just waltz into my house sack out on my sofa decide you like living in my house and get to stay, that's not how this works! ps. I was not far from where the Mexican National Mass Shooter killed 5 of his neighbors here in Texas last year, he was previously deported 4 times and had come right back again, his wife was here illegally his best friend who tried to hide him from authorities was here illegally and 4 out of 5 of his victims were ALSO here illegally and you just cannot make this stuff up people! We have a problem in this country and it's not necessarily rooted in racism... who's fault is it that the vast majority of people in this country are of Hispanic ethnicity? It sure ain't my fault, I'm just against letting people who enter or are otherwise in my country illegally stay and I don't much care who they look like or where they came from!
