As an American, its wild to see how we seem to think this is some kind of revolution, while the rest of the world watches us erode our democracy faster than thought possible.

It decreased because those who were in favor for illegal immigration started to realize these people got to stay there at their cost. That's the thing about these massive supporters. They were all like, yes, let's welcome millions of these people in. It's morally the right thing to do, right? Yes, yes it is. Problem is these people now need resources allocated to them. Resources that previously were granted to you, so people started seeing that and are suddenly all like: Wait a sec, why is my life suddenly so much worse? Why can't i find a job? Why is my taxmoney going towards hosting illegals while i live paycheck to paycheck? Funny how as soon as it started to bite into their budget and quality of life their moral superiority seemingly just vanished.

It seems from your videos that anti immigration is prevalent worldwide

This just seems impossible for all the logistics involved

Coupled with the apparent tariffs that are in the pipeline it will be interesting to see what that might do to the prices of fresh fruit and vegetables. As the country would seemingly begin to lose the workforce that allows them to be artificially lower than might otherwise be the case as well as a shortage of those willing to undertake those jobs.

Seems to me that the definition of the problem is not clear. What is the problem that we are trying to solve? Clearly, if there are 11 million persons here illegally then there is an immigration problem. What can be done to prevent the number of illegal immigrants to grow? Deportations or mass deportations deals with those individuals that are actually here but does not address the root cause of the problem. The has to be some deportations... but those already exist and already take place. Seems to me that mass deportations is like going on a crash diet for a short time without really changing fundamental habits. The result is weight comes off in the short term but generally returns. So... what is the solution to solving the immigration system deficiencies that has led to the current situation?

There's a piece missing in the puzzle. Has anyone asked where's Mexico in all of this? everyone seems to forget that they're America's southern neighbor, and they're not helping with anything to mitigate the border crisis. Mexico has to be sanctioned, because they're not actively partaking in the protection of the shared border with the US, they're allowing immigrants to cross the border unchecked, sparing themselves the trouble of dealing with them. They're throwing the ball in America's court, making immigration America's problem. Since they share the border with America, they have an obligation to combat illegal immigrantion but they're not doing that. They want to get rid of their crimnals and the poverty in their country not by enforcing the law and trying to invest in their infrastructure to enhance the living standards of their people, instead they're encouraging them to move to America to find a better life. America doesn't have to pay the price of Mexico being a failed country. They're turning their backs on their own citizens and trying to get rid of them, obliging them to take the perilous journey across the border where they're prone to crime, drugs, rape, human trafficking, sex trafficking, child abuse and all sorts of tragedies but to them the ends justify the means, and they have the nerves to call America racist and inhumane for not rescuing them from the situation that they created for them in the first place. Since the vast majority of illegal immigrants came across the border with Mexico, they should be deported back to Mexico, and Mexico can take it from there, not our problem anymore

Going by all the comments it would seem most people are on his side

Since Reps are expected to also control House and Senate, it seems Trump shouldn't get any obstacles regarding the Insurrection act?

Is it just me or does this presenter always seem to have a bit of a bias...? All the others are clearly impartial, but every time I've seen her, she doesn't seem to be...

A lot of trumps controversial policies seem to be just enforcing the law and punishing criminals. I wonder who finds them controversial.

And this is what we call, a ladder puller. Now that she was able to become a citizen, rather than helping her family members to get their legal status, which can be difficult, tedious and very expensive, she could care less if the lives they have already spent decades on building here are completely destroyed. She seems to be fully aware that it can be a difficult process, and I personally have seen that it’s not exactly a fair one either. I have seen some people spend not only years waiting on a hearing or a determination, but spend thousands they scrape together on lawyers and obtaining records, while others submit minimal evidence and get a determination in weeks. Instead of admitting that there are problems with the system and vote for people who are actually trying to help, she wants the same system that made it a difficult process for her to stay the same for them. In fact she voted for someone who is going to make it harder if not impossible for them to come back the right way in the first place. Is she not thinking? If they get deported, that is going into immigration records and when that gets pulled up when they apply to come back it will likely cause any legally efforts to return to be rejected. And who knows how long that will stay in their system? Could be years, could be permanent. Biden’s idea to help those undocumented who are married to citizens to be able to apply and get a temporary visa to stay here while they wait so that families wouldn’t have to be broken up by having the applicant return to their country of origin. That was not just a great idea from a humanitarian point, but they could apply for a job that wasn’t going to take advantage of them by paying below minimum wage, with no rights if they are injured. That could help bring local wages up. They would start contributing back by paying their fair share of taxes, and do on. Republicans in red states stopped it though and are suing the Biden administration for trying to do what? Help people and fix some of the issues that our broken immigration system has caused? \nSorry lady, but you earned your family’s ire and whatever treatment you get from the administration you voted for.

Yeah, she’s so in the Cult of Personality AND hopelessly retarded that she LITERALLY Common Sensed/Gut Instincted/Prejudiced it’s fine if HER FAMILY MEMBERS get deported, seemingly just because it was DONALD FUCKING TRUMP WHO SAID OR DID IT!!!! ??? it is interesting that Trump never actually crushed the free press, so ALL the retarded stuff said both in support and attack of him is recorded for posterity. ??

The other side always seems greener in reality it is not so

When MAGA says, take our country back, that means for whites. She doesn't seem to understand that.

This is my first time watching your content. It saddens me that you've come to feel as you do. I'm 72 YO and had the good fortune to be born among people who had survived a world war. They knew bullshit when they heard it. I served in the Canadian Army 1968-74. Like you, I've been a lot of places, and seen a lot of things. I do casual work at McMaster and interact with a lot of people. It feels like somebody else's country. Everyone seems so ignorant of our history. Worse, my Jewish friends no longer feel safe here. The Canada that I served so proudly as a soldier no longer exists. We could liquidate and leave, but these colours don't run.

Canadian leaders are weak and seem to be living under a rock. They are going to get across the border. Mark my words.

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.

Real estate agent in a storage facility but still finds funds for a rolex seems like bad financial habits

I have no issue with an immigrant keeping their traditions. However, some immigrants seem to feel that once here that Canada owes them every single thing that they want. Immigrants forget that they chose to come here. Instead it feels like now instead of becoming part of our society, many come here and want to change our way of life to suit them. It's not right.

Yeah , Those people are not from families who immigrated in the last couple generations.\n Seems to me the Russian social media campaign that influenced American politics is taking hold in Canada. \n Time to regulate social media

She seems to believe that they just need to leave and then can come back being able to get the needed documents. That would just be a complicated form of legalization procedure. I doubt that this is the intention of the MAGA.

Americans only seem to care when it affects them.. I had to do this, I want this, I , I ,I \nCount the i's .. that's what's wrong!

If this is what it takes to teach these people who voted against their own friends and families, so be it. I have lost all sympathy for the right wing. They went full religiously driven nutty with an obsession with believing every little crazy story and never looked back. Every person I meet that give me cooky vibes or talks about Jesus or some sort of outdated fucked up thing is a Trumper and nothing will change their minds. Everyone now has at least one relative who, on the surface, would appear to be a perfectly logical person but ask them to justify why they love Trump so much and they give you some totally wacky fact or false claim about some sort of random thing in our world like social security or trans people or immigration and cant seem to wrap their minds around the idea that it isn't true and that those claims are being used to manipulate them.

lmao its hard to have sympathy for these minority groups because they only have themselves to blame for this mess. Meanwhile 92% of black women seem to be the most intelligent population in America right now, and don't go asking them for provisions and rations when everything goes to hell... that would be considered socialism, which you voted against.

I dont know a lot about trump ..i know before he seemed a little ridiculous but atleast if he was our president here maybe hed do some deporting here. The more i am hearing about trump lately the more im wondering if hes really all that bad vs. Justin.

Canada has its share of white trash, hillbilly rednecks, but the US clearly seems to have cornered that market. ?

since money is the only thing some understand, let me put it this way ... how much did the american govt. pay last time they put the masses in holding centers ??? $700 a day per person. OK, so how much did the spend per person per day ???? Humm that seems like someone got wealthy off of the misery of . others, appearing to look like some kind of useful program. a govt program designed to milk money from the gove to whose pockets ????

Is the goal to deport every undocumented person or to destroy our economy? Seems they will achieve both at the same time. I wonder how many Trump supporters know that Trump properties still avoid hiring Americans. Even Truth Social outsources their coding to Mexico. Trump hates hiring American workers. MAGA is only for him, not you.

The Republican Party is a terrorist organization. The goal is cruelty. \nTrump will destroy America. \nThey gave him the green light to do whatever they want. Well, 25% of the country are racists who elected a rapist. So, this all seems fair right?

All of these people that are trashing this seemingly inarticulate woman for putting herself and her family first are a bunch of HYPOCRITES! I can honestly tell you that I have spent the majority of my 47 years of life helping people, doing favors for people, helping the homeless, feeding and rescuing stray dogs, lending money I didn’t have, an in essence helping my fellow neighbor. It is in my nature to think of others before myself, but guess what? Guess where that got me? No favors returned, the money is never paid back, when I needed a favor, no one was available, and when I rescued the dog, no one can help me find a home. so I think the lesson here is help yourself as in the flight attendants say before you can help your fellow neighbor if you don’t believe me question yourself how many people have you helped in your life returned the favor? SLIM TO NONE. if you don’t believe me, go ahead and ask people around you to help you pay your rent next month and see the turnout you get. This is your responsibility. Nobody is going to come save you

Saddest part of this is that most of what they’ve been told about immigration is either straight out lies or deeply embellished. If they feel they are making a valuable contribution then why don’t they think new immigrants will? They seem happy to accept the lies about how dangerous their kinfolk are.

You made your bed Americans. Plus, Canada only seems to let in Indians ?

People seem to believe tRump isn’t going to ,or be able to deport 10-15 million undocumented people. ??‍♂️??‍♂️

So it’s now a goal ? Well it seems the switch that comes after the bait. So now it will narrow to criminals. Oh and here is self deportation MAGA you been had LMAO !!!! Now it won’t be deportation it is going to be business is going to do it or get fined ? WTF ? Where are the camps in Texas ICE all that stuff ?

Where was all of this collective outrage when Obama and the Democrats carried out the largest MASS DEPORTATION in American History? Why does everyone forget or not seem to know that he was the first President to separate families and build cages for kids? Hundreds of thousands were deported. Latinos were OVERWHELMINGLY racially profiled.

I hope that none of you will ever have to run from your home to another country. Selfish set of people you are. It seems as if you were the ones that created Canada. Canada is NOT HEAVEN

Does anyone else find bizarre that Trump literally told his voters at a rally last year this:\n“ I don’t need your votes this time. We got plenty of votes. Don’t worry about voting “. ? ???????\nGiven his shady connection with seasoned election fraudster Putin and Mr. Technology Elon Musk, and what is at stake, do you think those 11mln blue votes from 2020 disappeared for a reason? \nIt seems hard to believe with all the excitement for Kamala( which Biden was never even close to), she got 11 mln votes FEWER?\nA malignant narcissist like Trump would want to leave the election to stay out of jail to …chance?!?\nI am not buying it. Also , a malignant narcissist always tells on themselves. A little hint here and there… ?\n“ I DONT NEED YOUR VOTES THIS TIME. WE GOT PLENTY. DONT WORRY ABOUT VOTING “. ????

Racist much! everyone one of color be prepared to be racially profiled and treated like Shit . Let’s see how many lawsuits and how much money this will cost every State . It’s 2024 but definitely doesn’t seem like it . For some reason the white skin colored people always get treated as if they’re better than others. Jesus is watching

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 .,

That’s literally impossible. They’re gonna have a big wake up when these executive orders get strike down by courts. People seem to not know this that Joe Biden has appointed over 200 federal judges to the bench.

Hey Democats!! The recent election had NOTHING to do with race or gender. Your hatred based on dishonesty creating division only turned the people away from your side. It is about honesty, morals and freedom. It was about the economy that your side only seems to want to make things worse. It was about representatives should be looking out for our country and our citizens. America first is the only way any of our representatives should think!!! They still don't get it. The American people aren't falling for your lies anymore!!

??? open your eyes dude. You seem to forget the economy depends on illegal immigration

It seems to me the only reason why the left wants illegal immigrants here is because they want to have slaves who would do the dirty jobs for them for an inhumane salary. Way to go liberals!

Seems very hypocritical when they're families came here as immigrants. Very selfish to not want other immigrants to have the same opportunities.

Seems Funny how people R Complaining about how much this will Cost!!!! BUT IF USA ALREADY SPENT BILLIONS ON THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS??? N WE(AMERICAN TAXPAYERS) SENT BILLIONS TO OTHER COUNTRIES TO FIGHT THEIR WARS????? Y NOT INVEST IN MAKIN OUR COUNTRY SAFER N GET THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ALL OUTTA HERE!!!! This way these business owners will have to pay tge correct wages for American Citizens to work 4 them.

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

OMG your country, lol. It seems shame is dead, GOP has to many snakes in the grass, not many like Reagan that's for sure. So different there should be a new colour how about the purple party to differentiate it from the old GOP. I would say Good luck USA, but no, ha-ha.

You should say, Canada is, and has been, bracing for an invasion allowed by Justin Trudeau. You all do your part to make it seem normal, that we have to allow ourselves to be invaded.

We are full to capacity. I know canada is seemed as a peaceful and welcoming nation but their are limits to our country, and we hit them years ago. You need to find another place to stay.
