I have to say my son and daughter in law lived in a community just out of Houston. they loved it .They had veery good health insurance through my sons employer. their baby girl was born in Houston and they were very happy there. But they moved home when their girl was ready to go to school because of the school shootings.

This is how stupid this lady is ! I'm Mexican American i was born here ! She was not !

I'm born and raised in Toronto. I can't wait to get out of here

What do people really want in other people's country?\nWe are all born in our own country for a reason. Stay in your country and make it work for you. I love my country, Ghana, and i won't move anywhere else?? .

I am in Canada, born in India. I agree there are many Indian brown people here. It’s the govt that invited people, accepted them for the jobs they were unable to fulfill . These are highly educated, skilled and hardworking people. 25% all income from education comes from Indian people. Not to mention the high wages and high taxes they pay, inturn making Canada great. \nI also agree, there are some nasty people out there like any other race be it white, black, brown or purple. The bad guys need to be stopped. As for the rest of the people who don’t bother you, just live in harmony, work for prosperity and make Canada great for the future generations. \nWho you really gotta fight is the LQYZGBAlphabet cabal for humanity to thrive. \nLast but not the least, I sure as hell know the beautiful native Indian people of Canada and America, would have felt the same way seeing your ancestors! “You don’t belong here, there are too many of you, go back” \nBut here you are. \nAnyway, please live happily and let people live.

More Indians than there are born Canadians in that city. That's just crazy...

I work for an Canadian Indian trucking company in Texas and I have to say Indians are some of the most racist people I've ever met. Which is crazy because in my head I'm thinking didn't y'all invent Karma why are you just continuing the cycle of racism oh well maybe in their next life they'll have more darker skin so they can be hated even more so. Come on don't you want to be enlightened mentally and physically so that in your next life you're born with lighter skin you get it... enlightened. Indian people are gross the racist ones not all of them of course

She will be deported with her family according to Trump. As a Hispanic woman, born and raised in the US, but none of that will matter. I have already been discriminated by Trump supporters who know nothing about me. This woman is illiterate...blind to the fact that he doesn't care and his minions will back him up. It doesn't matter how long she stood in line. There is so much hate and ignorance in his Maga followers. ??? VOTE BLUE. ???

Trump only wants white-born Americans, and only white males to have any rights.

Trump said that he would deport them all and that means her she was not born here he said a massive deportation so sad that she is going to be on the same bus she has gotten over here and she thinks she is better

People born in Canada are just leaving and I don’t blame them. I have 3 neighbours in my neighbourhood that I was close to them but they left 1 put their house on rent and the other 2 sold there house just left the country. They all said the same thing Canada is to expensive and going down hill . High crime , high taxes you. You name it . The more you make the more you are taxed. I have a friend that left Canada for Ireland 3 years ago for a job in his field and was able to buy a beautiful house .

Have been saying it for years to many international students from India lived in qc there were so many international students coming from Punjab to qc. They will go just about anywhere in Canada if it means it will get them a PR wow left qc and moved to Ottawa so far have not seen so many international students . Even as a Born Canadian my parent came from India back in the 80s\nDon’t want to live with Indians . That came from India in 2024 they are rude to girls on the bus have no shame . Ben living in Canada for 40+ years only know there has been a. Influx of migrants from India. Before the people come they at least new basic English and got usto the way of living the new once they don’t even know basic English and don’t have any common sense how they pass is beyond me . Blame TRUDEAU for opening the flood gates. Indians that have been living in Canada for years were finally getting respected and it all went down hill .

She said she wasn’t born in America news flash lady they don’t like you either

Man are you brainwashed about the “great opportunities” in Canada. Nonsense. Far greater and more numerous opportunities elsewhere. Born in 1991, you could have been born in many countries and prospered.

I’m an American born Muslim

“From Everywhere?”\nBruh. I’m from Goa. TRUST ME WITH THIS - We are Taught ‘Manners’ right from the time we are Born. There are hardly 5-10% Goans who are classless. But, majority are taught ethics are MANNERS! Forget about Canada, these people have created a Ruckus in Goa as well. \nI got one question here. Aren’t these people taught manners and etiquettes, and ‘HOW TO BEHAVE’ when they go to others City/country or Town? If Not, PLEASE F-kin DO! PLEASE!

But the act of indians is also very much not good as to invite their ire and draw negative attention. \n\nThe guy in this video is a poor Canadian born and he is suffering un necessarily due to some indians immigrating to Canada for third rate education lessons and just to Stelle their at any cost.

Canadian born have lived cheque to cheque forever. This is a given.

Maybe Canadians should only be those actually born here. Then, they’re working with a clean slate.

People who believes a politician's word without proof are either chum or born yesterday. They have their own political drives for votes that motivates them to even skewer the truth for their own benefits.

BBC is a racist News channel.\nWe Sikhs hate Khalistani Terrorists like Nijjar & parmar who killed 300 innocent passengers of a plane.\nJustin Trudeau is a clown & a idiot born with a silver spoon or golden spoon. He supported Khalistani sikh terrorists like Jagmeet singh and destroyed India relationship by the lying about Indian government.\n\nUSA is keeping SFJ Terrorists. Shameless fellows.\n\nEven UK has Khalistani Terrorists.

I'm an immigrant as well, but not from India. I experienced culture shock when I arrived in Canada, but I managed to adjust to the “Canadian ways.” While I haven't fully adapted since I wasn't born and raised here, I've been living here for years. It's important to respect and be polite to Canadians. It feels like they are welcoming us into their home, so we should be respectful, mindful, and considerate. Most Canadians I've met are very nice and polite.

Where was your great grandma born, lady??

Thank the governments for the immigration thats fuckin people over born in this country

I see some people commenting that the women is right and that people shouldn’t settle abroad but racially abusing someone like this (and the guy didn’t settle here, he was born here[edit: he wasnt born here] and by law he IS a Canadian). This lady has no right to tell him to get out of canada

As an Indian, I agree with her, my only issue is where were her ancestors born? In Canada? Nah ?

she must remember that was born in Mexico and the only thing that holds her here is a green card which can be taken away if they decide to do so.

I am German and was born in Germany, I left that country about 4 years ago because of political, economical, tax, bureaucratic, etc. reasons. I totally understand why others leave. I would never return myself.

I have had five open heart surgeries, a latarotomy, two c-sections, a diaphragm plication... I have all left heart heart defects. I was born with heart defects. I can't afford to live in the States! I think that's THE reason why we don't want to live there.

everything is alright just stop saying canada is your home. you didn't born in canada. also, the problem is that there are so many refugess from your country, ukraine, that is causing the decline in quality of life in canada.

Canada is still better than India in many aspects, more safe for women, healthcare is free, clean country with low pollution, lots of beautiful parks, most people are tolerant, crime rate is low, multicultural, standard of living is high, Canadian passport allows you to travel easily, gov pension, lots of opportunities, i was able to change my career at 50 and became a private investigator, i was born and raised in India.

Come to London Ontario to do a video next. \nWe have a 5-8 year waiting list for subsidized housing and our own citizens are having to compete with in Huge increase of people from India who come on a student Visa and then drop out and just stay. They are buying up entire subdivisions and businesses. There is not one Subway in London that is not Indian run and if you order any food or package it is guaranteed an Indian is delivering it. And when they buy these businesses they change the food menus to better suit their tastes and Only hire other Indians. If white people did that it would be considered racism and highly illegal. \nThey also go out in large groups of only young men, of course, and do not care about our culture whatsoever and are entitled and Extremely rude. I guess they feel they Can be like this because they will soon outnumber Canadian born citizens. \nIt’s a disgrace that the Canadian government has Sold Out Canada and our Canadian values. \nI’m sure in time we will no longer Be Canada, they will change the name appropriately to India 2.

I'm a German born in South Africa and speak the language fluently. I immigrated to Germany for 13 months, hated it and went back to South Africa?

The fact that you are highly educated and earn less than when you worked for Singapore Airlines tells you that this country, ' where i was born ' is descending into a socialist hell, all by design and still people have illusions this will get better however bankruptcies are rising and the middle class is struggling. Maybe the immigration officers should be up front with potential immigrants and show them the real facts about what this country has to offer.

They all have to leave Canada there's no place here for them they weren't born or raised here and they are trying to control our province we won't let that happen and Pierre our next PM will not let it happen

Born there, raised there. Now posting from Brasil where I have moved to. Canada's issues are all of what she mentioned, and then some. At least, if the entire world goes to shit, in Brasil I can walk to the beach, afford to eat, and own a home on 25% of what I earned in Canada. It's almost impossible to get into Brasil as well, another nice benefit !!

Born in Germany, this young man. Representing the most powerful of the pro-western Arab nations. Just bcs he's not wearing a suit and tie, doesn't mean he isn't a slippery capitalist diplomat with blood on his well manicured hands.

In Canada, there is not enough housing and jobs are scarce, especially for anyone at the entry level or basic wage. We've been absolutely swamped. This is not the fault of the immigrants or the students, it's the fault of our extremely stupid and short sighted government. Most of those immigrants I encounter are good people, polite and considerate. But some, well I understand where the complaints about rude and inconsiderate behaviour come from, because it only takes a few bad experiences to get people angry. I've experienced it myself, but most of it (from my experience) seems to be from students who are very loud and impolite on public transit. The housing situation here is INSANE, prices are sky high and very little to choose from. A lot of seniors now can only afford to rent a room (after having worked all their lives and very little to show for it), and prices are up about 50% from only 5 years ago. The government says inflation is a fraction of what it is in real life, and living expenses have exploded. As I understand it, some people made a lot of money offering services to bring students and low wage workers in, with no consideration to the damage they were doing to all of us who were born and raised here - they wanted to make their million dollars. Another problem is that once someone arrives here, what they find is NOT what they were led to believe. What students and immigrants are told they need to live here is an absolute lie, living here in Canada has become very expensive. Many workers are severely under paid, and never even see the legal minimum wage, and the problem with that is, almost no Canadian will be hired on to those jobs - the reasons are that imported foreign workers will work below minimum wage because they are trapped here, and the Canadians already know that they will only struggle if they take jobs that pay so poorly. So yes, a lot of Canadians are VERY angry, and you really can't blame them. Once again, the Canadian government is responsible for much of this, and crooked employers who are willing to take advantage of low wage labour. It's an absolute mess.

If you weren’t born here, you’re an immigrant. You ARE NOT Canadian.

not just canada it's every christian western country multiculturalism is ok in small doses, but its become overwhelming and the natural born citizens are getting treated like 3rd class citizens.

Arab countries denied citizenship to Palestinians even if they are born in other Arab country because they want to keep them as permanent refugees for political issues

Finally, Canadians will be able to get a job. Enough fighting for a minimum wage job, as a Canadian born and university graduate. This should've been considered long time ago.

The truth is, that when you immigrate to canada. you are one in a giant bowl of people that roughly have the exact same qualifications as you. For one entry level tech job, over 600 people applied, 580 were of Indian immigrants, 10 Asian, 5 natural born Canadians, and 5 african. The people who get hired are not the 580 who all have the same qualifications and resumes, whos second language is english or french. Its the 5 canadians who were born here. Thats just a fact and a hard one for the huge number of immigrants to learn after they get here.

I am so sorry, as a native Canadian, that Indians are feeling attacked. It is difficult, no matter your ethnic background, if you are not Indian to even acknowledge these issues because people are afraid of being labelled as racist so I thank you for bringing this topic up. Please understand this is the result of runaway immigrations with no real screening. The government quadrupled immigration, hundreds of percents increase in students, asylum seekers, and illegal entries, even though there was already a housing crisis, and a completely predictable doctor shortage due to aging out. Covid was just starting to get under control but many still needed treatment and BOOM, the population went from 30 million in 2014 to over 40 million in a decade, most of it in the last 3 years. We native Canadians are scratching our heads, we don't understand what the Liberals are trying to accomplish but to create suspicion and racism between groups of people -- divide and conquer? Maybe...but ultimately it is a complete lack of planning! Still 99 percent of Canadian born do not blame Iindividual ndians for this. I've lived and worked with Indians my entire life of over 60 years. There are now Indian gangs, particularly Punjabi gangs because of lack of oversight, and while they are small they are constantly committing crimes, selling drugs, shooting people all in the last few years. I hear gun shots nightly in my ethnically mixed neighbourhood, and we are all afraid to walk at night. Unfortunately the people arrested are mostly from continental India. Some have a political agenda that has to do more with India than Canada, so they recruit young Indo-Canadian children from good families and tell them they are being oppressed, and next thing these kids are acting as drug mules and enforcers, being told that they are fighting systemic racism. As for dancing and music, I love the cultural events, we are happy to see and even take part in Indian cultural events. IWhen I do hear people blaming India and Indians it breaks my heart too! Hopefully together we can fix this. Our governments are at odds, and I hate this -- they need to respectfully talk and work this out. You are good neighbours, good people, you are welcome here and have helped build Canada in so many positive ways. ?

Who do they think they are, people need to tell them to keep their law's in their country and if they were born here they need to be reminded they are not in a Muslim country,we are British and won't have their evil law's over here, and if they don't like it they can leave it be deported

The Israelites exited the Gaza in 2005. Not one remained. The people there received hundreds of millions of dollars from many sources to help them form a reliable government. They elected Hamas, a group that the US has designated a terrorist organization. What did Hamas spend money on ? Weapons, building tunnels, etc. All to harass and kill and maim Jews.. 20% of the population of Israel is Arab. They have jobs, land , representative government etc. They live in peace in Israel. How do they do it ? What he really means is he won't be satisfied until every Jew is banished from biblical lands. Lands they have lived in for thousands of years. Moses was a Jew. He was born circa 2300 B.C. Mohammed was born circa 630 A.D. How can it be said that Jews should be there. You can't have peace with people who will not compromise.

?Why world says it started on October7? It started 75 years back. Hamaz resistance group was born in “refugee camps” just in 1988 after tolerating oppression & occupation for 48 years. Israel supported hamaz to create internal fights & suppress freedom resistance just like CIA created Taliban to fight Russia. Why Palestinians living in refugee camp in their own country long before hamas born? Why killing Palestinians & demolishing their houses in West Bank where there is no hamaz? When u treat other humans as animals for decades, one day they will revolt as animals, that’s hamas did (though I condemn any violence). \n\nAnd why is it called war not genocide? War shud be between states that have its own military, missiles, bombs. But here Palestine state’s existence itself is denied, they can’t even have airport, water & electricity facilities, their daily movement is controlled by Israel checkpoints, Zionist settlers burn olives ? & snatch homes of Palestinians daily. Isn’t it hypocritical to claim to support 2 state solution when only 1 state is recognised by supplying genocidal weapon and other is occupied?\n\nIf you love Zionists, give 1 of the state in US. You conducted holocaust & Palestinians pay the price just because they gave shelter when no other country accepted these zionists?\n\nAs per UN charter, armed resistance against occupation is legal, then isn’t Hamas resisting as per same law against illegal occupation by illegal apartheid state? If you don’t like Hamas, world shud take responsibility - end occupation, implement UN & ICJ’s judgement & arrest Netyanahu immediately. Or ICJ/UN is to serve west interest only? Occupation can’t give peace, FREE PLESTINE.

I was born, educated, and brainwashed in the USA (without my consent). I moved to Canada for a career opportunity in 1972. Best life improvement I ever made. There isn’t any way I would even consider going back to the USA. Too dangerous, much less freedom, too many ignorant, rude people.

I am a born and raised Canadian and have seen my country go downhill for at least the last couple of decades.\nHealth Care: doctors and nurses are moving Stateside in droves. No, the US doesn’t have universal health care but there are insurance plans and the care is enormously better. My girlfriend had 4th stage throat cancer. In Calgary the doctors at some point told her there was nothing more they could do for her and to get her affairs in order. Her father sent her to the Anderson Clinic in Houston - yes it was expensive but they treated her, saved her life and that was 24 years ago. \nIt’s common in our emergency rooms to wait up to 12 hours to be seen. \nOur system isn’t progressive and doctors and nurses don’t get paid near as well as in the States. That being said, I am happy that I don’t have to pay to see the doctor or have a stay in the hospital. \nCost of Living: Once upon a time it was good - housing was cheap and many companies had the full range of benefits and salaries were equal to the cost of living. Now these same companies have stripped the benefits by hiring people under contract so they don’t have to give them benefits. \nRents are through the roof and in Calgary there are no rent caps. Buying a decent house in a decent neighbourhood is impossible unless you inherit or make a six figure income. This, in no small part, has created a homelessness crisis that never had been seen in such numbers before. Crime also is getting worse by the day. Canada was once known as a safe country. This is no longer the case.\nEverything is very expensive and the tax very high. Plus, we have to suffer winter! Where I live, the joke is that we have two seasons - July and winter!\nI still like my city (not love) but I am retired and own two houses - one inherited and the other bought when it was affordable (32 years ago). Calgary would not be a place I would live if I was a newcomer. Vancouver is beautiful but you really pay for it. \nTrudeau has helped make a big mess of things with immigration and lax criminal laws. My beef is not with immigrants I must state - it is with the lack of jobs for them when they come, thereby forcing bad living conditions and an over reliance on the social systems. I add that the immigration population is much more willing to work in jobs they have to take (despite a high education) than our natural and bloated citizens.\nSo yes, Canada has increasingly gone downhill. On a positive note, hand guns at least are not legal and our country has beautiful natural land.
