So I would like to see the database where we can look up every individual as they cross the border to see whether they have been convicted or whether the information they bring with them is even accurate or erroneous. There is no such database. Because we do not have that type of relationship with every countryin South America or Europe. So what is Plan B?

Trump is going to deport illegal criminals and Venezuela gangs. Why would we let those people into Canada? I read that you can’t seek asylum if you’re coming from a country that is considered safe, like the U.S.

The Americans were smart to vote the wokeness out after only one term, not like here where the Canadian society votes for wokeness time and time again, and would rather tax themselves into poverty in hopes of changing the weather

It’s funny that she says “ take our country back” when the majority of white people don’t want her here whether she’s here legally or not l. they don’t like the color of her skin, her accent, nothing. If she got into an argument with some white guy at the local gas station, he would yell at her to go back to her country.. He would not care if she had papers or not. This is about racism, not immigration. DUH.

I am sick to death of media cherry picking facts they want to share. Oh poor immigrants. I am sorry, if this harsh but America can't fix the world and we aren't responsible for those from other countries. It really annoys me that all we hear is poor immigrants and immigrants rights. Sice Biden has taken office the housing crisis has gotten out of the control. Why? Simple math, you move in billions of people, equal population what you already have, but can't increase housing, they have to go somewhere. With the government helping migraints, more is going to them than our own. What is happening is they are pushing out people in migraint held cities and displacing existing residents. So those disbled , elderly, veterans and drug addicted people who are being displaced are being forced to smaller communities that don't have the infrastructure in place to cope with so many displaced people. Then you end up with a huge issue of Homeless people trying to live in Tents in the middle of winter. j You have a vast number of elderly women taking to van life because they can't afford to live any other way. Would you like to your Grandma living in Van, constantly on the go? YOu are being UNAmerican in your news reporting, when you fail to give fair reporting and do equal amount of investigating into who this actually affects amount the American people. Far as I am concerned you need to be shut down, because you are enemy of the US.

I would like one leftie to tell me how it is wrong to deport illegal aliens ?

That Cuban woman describes a lot of minorities believe it or not. And it explains very well how even some slaves would cut deals with a plantation owner to snitch on plans to runaway etc. not because it meant they’d be free but simply cuz they’d maybe get to work in the house and not the field. \n\nA lot of people are very selfishly driven. And a lot of minorities have this crab in a barrel mentality, they will fight for scraps at the feet of white men who only want power for white, RICH men. Even poor whites think they’re gonna get in good with Trump, but Trump is a billionaire aligned with other billionaires like Musk and Murdoch and guess what, they have nothing in common with any common folk, black, white, Asian or Latino. Yet here we all are fighting like crabs in a barrel. Real dumb.

My fellow whyte peeps, just remember the folk you brought with you on that damn boat. We should be good, right? Citizenship wise i mean.....i would never want anyone to think that y'all actually like us and whatnot. I wont say nothing, wink if we're good....

What would Mass deportation look like it would look like the same thing as them coming in they will be at the border getting a boot in their ass going back

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.

Is there an antiTrump person here i can ask a few questions? Im not trolling, and im not looking to argu....im just very curious and would like to ask a few questions

I worked in Criminal Court (NYC Metro area) for many years. We always checked for Immigration Holds on those who were arraigned in our courts. How it plays out is that INS would take a long time to appear where detainee was. Court (local w/ separate budget) wants to process the case quickly just like the local jail want to discharge because it cost money to keep people locked up. If INS is not fast enough to appear the people are released.

Hey CNN how proud do you feel???? \nTrumps reelection is ALL on you!!! You had a job to do before trump was given this power!!!!\nGOOD F’N JOB CNN!!!!\n\nI hope trump does EVERYTHING he promised he would ‘do’ to you!!!!!\nGood luck Americans but your stupidity is overwhelming, and now the world is laughing at you!!!! We were laughing at you over the prospect of even having the likes of Trump even running for president but now he is your president/dictator!!!! Wow great job Americans!!!!!!!

So where do the undocumented immigrants (criminals or not) get deported to? Do you think that the countries that they came from are going to joyously repatriate them? Or accept them at all? Where will they end up if no country will accept them? Like most of the Trump policies, no one ever thought beyond a sound bite that would appeal to his base....

I guess you people didn’t learn did you? Mass Deportations best thing we have heard since yesterday when we were told trump won. If you cared about democracy like you claim, and you cared about American people like you claim, you would stand behind this deportation of illegal undocumented immigrants. They are here illegally. Keep up the good work your station will be shut down before you know it.

I knew an undocumented young woman who was living with her 1 yr old baby and her undocumented husband in NC. He started beating her up really badly so she called the cops. The cops arrested them both, even though he was the clear aggressor. They sent the baby off to cps and cps sent the child back to her extended family in Mexico. She spent 3 years in the county jail, never having access to proper medical care, fresh air & greenery or money for commissary or phone minutes. She was still in the early stages of learning English so she was unable to properly advocate for herself before she made bilingual friends and she couldn’t even read the English books in the county jail. Last I heard, she had finally been transported to a huge ICE detention facility in Georgia, but her case was still in limbo and she still had not seen her daughter 4 years later?\n\nShe was such a sweet young woman and what happened to her was so cruel, inhumane and totally undeserved. People who advocate for mass deportation are asking for millions of more stories just like hers, but with even more violence, since Trump would have to use storm troopers to do raids and papers checks so they can kidnap the 20 million people they want to deport.

Not being born in America, this dumb ass would go back to Mexico under Trump. He only wants American born citizens. Im Hispanic and she's born Mexican we're different in our thoughts and believes. They are hard workers, but very funny. Like their here and don't help their race better themselves.

I don't think this lady realises that they couldn't apply to come back. Under Trump's ideas any immigrants would come from most likely Eastern Europe.

Lady your a just as much a maron as the rest of you cult followers and trumpsteers. You are filled of hate violenc and ignorance just like trump you would throw your family out for a jerk that dont g ive a crap about you. Your not a smart woman. And he wants to take away your rights. Wow lady your really something.

Her family would likely not be able to come back. After forced removal, most illegal immigrants are barred from entry again. I'm against illegal immigration too, but if I had family members in their situation, I'd question my loyalties.

just deceived by a new Indian immigrant, and it feels terrible. About 10 days ago, I posted an advertisement for a parking spot rental in front of my apartment condo. I then received a call from someone who said he had just moved here from India and needed a parking spot. I explained that parking spots here are rented on a monthly basis. He said that was fine, but he wanted to first pay only for the days from October 24 to October 31, and then he would pay for the following month. I thought that was acceptable, so I agreed.However, on October 31, he didn’t make the payment as expected. When I asked, he said he would pay on November 1. The next day, when I hadn’t received the payment, I followed up, and he promised to pay the following morning. By noon on November 2, I still hadn’t received the payment, so I messaged him again, but he didn’t respond. It was only later in the evening when he finally replied, saying he no longer needed the parking spot and that I could rent it to someone else. Then i asked how to deal with the rest of the payment of these days for the parking he already used, no reply anymore. At that moment, I really felt deceived. Why so much like getting smart with others?

Besides her political stance. Its so sad that ahe would alienate her own family like that. She is the kind of person that leaves this world alone. Why? She chose hate. It baffles me. If there is one thing I would do anything for it would be my family. God have mercy on her soul.

Hello sir doing (CSTN) computer system technician networking courses from a local college. I'm literally confused like what would be my future ? what should i do in my life to get pr to get settled. I've no idea what should i do please guide if you have any suggestion cause sometimes i feel like i'll do trucking or become a welder (19 year old) Kind of feel pressurized.

What is she talking about?! Hours and days standing in line for a green card?! The whole process takes 2-3 years of waiting. This is bizarre, is this lady lying??? How the heck did she stand in a line for a few hours or days ??‍♀️ and get a green card, was the immigration policy different when she applied?\n\nI imagine this woman hasn’t gotten along with her family far before she became a trumper, I don’t know if she would care if her family got deported before she became a red hat, it seems like joining the Trump effort helps her feel a sense of belonging and justify her dislike of her family. If they rejected her for one reason or another, it seems that being part of maga has given her a false sense of power.

that guy has what probably was the latest iPhone back then and can most likely buy this guy off and the indecent f*ck has the audacity to talk him down f*cking dog if he was in india he would know what anger really means you can see it on the delivery guys face how much he's holding back this guy wouldn't be alive to see the light of the next day if he was india

If only the Arab world stopped selling oil in the west, the west would stop sending funds and arms to israel. It was like King Faisal did in 1970, before he was assassinated. Today Arab leaders are cowards. They are afraid of death. Remember, Arab leaders are complicit in the killing of Saddam and Qaddafi.

I understand this woman’s position because she understands the situation unfortunately many people don’t and only focus on the sentimental part of it. Trump ones told his friends that if talking about him would get them hired he said go ahead and trash me and go make your money. Now that sounds like someone who cares even if they themselves come out looking bad and their character damage. People, family can truly be selfish in many ways, I’m more than positive is not easy for her to have this opinion yet she understands what is at stake. Nevertheless people will critic and condemn what they don’t understand in its fullness. Hint: if things continue the way they are their will be no US for anyone at least not the US that people are fleeting their countries to come to.

Hey your videos came up on my YouTube feed many times. I am Canadian born, will live my life here I imagine. I liked your sense of humour in your previous YouTube posts I have seen about describing your lives and I do learn alot from many different cultures, ethnicities. I have to thank you. This world is not the same as the 1960's, I am sure if I moved to another country it would be challenging.

Hi, I would like to discuss with you for a detailed clarification.

Her family members crossed illegally? And she knew? Thats being an accomplice, I would like to publicly report her. For KNOWING of that crime and not reporting to immigration department.

For those of you saying she shouldn't talk she's from Europe would that mean Europeans have the right the object to the mass migration taking over their countries like in Sweden, Germany and the UK? Should Brits object to the fact that London is now minority English?

As a korean immigrant, we respect the law in canada and stay quiet. I know punjabs want to show off what you guys have but pls obey the law here. Idk if you guys think cool driving dodge and mustang and bursting loud weird indian music in the streets is a cool thing. Idk why you guys put weird black balls infront of your car bumper too. Have you seen any other immigrants here putting stickers of their country in your car hood or on the side? It would be funny if i put big ass “Korea” sticker on my car. honestly its just funny and cute to watch trying to show off. If you have time like that go work for your family and try to invest time for yourself.

Only qualified people get employment in Canada. Young Canadians do not like to do low-paying jobs, so immigrants do more of those jobs and young Canadians do not have as much skills as immigrants have for high-paying jobs. Immigrants have no option to get success without hard work and skills. Therefore, immigrants work harder to get skills and success than the privileged native Canadian youth. So it would not be right to say that immigrants are taking away their jobs.

I would be ashamed of calling someone like her family. And this is also something I don't understand from many immigrants. As soon as they get a green card, they don't care about the needs or wellbeing of other immigrants.

I heard on my visit to Canada earlier this year for vacation the same thing, BUT you talked to Canadians who were obviously unemployed/with no skills and homeless (at least it seemed like that, my apologies if that was not the case. All immigrants should respect the local law and do not impose their culture in adopted land. I believe that Indians come to Brampton because they find their own kind of people there and feel that they will not feel any racism, mind you it happens everywhere. Racism in parts of Canada is very much there. \nI stayed in Toronto with a friend and noticed almost 99% of tenants there were chinese, and no one was speaking English. Would like you to interview there as well.

That old lady is absolutely and outright lying. First off, she stood in lines for hour or days to get her green card? That means she came at a time when immigration was much easier and wanted, to increase gdp and to do the jobs normal Americans didn’t want to. Now, immigration takes forever, many years in fact, because the older republican white generation figured out that they yet again the minority, which has never actually changed. But republicans now use the immigration card because it’s literally their only option, why do you think Trump stopped the bill. He would be losing so much support. Also, for that old Mexican lady to say those things about her own family, tells me, she is not someone who cares for others or may even care at all. She became a racist just like the republicans and her family should be ashamed of her. Lastly, different times of immigration, this time around, those leaving other countries are trying to save their families lives, having to deal with authoritarian dictators, drug cartels and corrupt governments. She may have had some of that, but I doubt it, she just wanted to move here and make a better life for herself, screw her loved ones. She is an abomination and one of the reasons this country has lost itself, if a Mexican immigrant cannot feel sympathy or empathy for those people in a very similar situation than that person has truly been corrupted by the republicans “all about me” mantra.

This woman isnt wrong to want her family to gain legal status. I dont think voting for Trump would make that better. He won in 2016 and never did anything about it. \n\nPeople are allowed to disagree with her. But she has her reasons. If you want her and others like her. Be patient. Speak with them, hear their concerns and express your own understanding of how those concerns can be addressed in the democratic party. \n\nTrump doesnt have a chance in spite of the political climate, he has a chance exactly because of it. If this was 2000 and Trump was trying to run, he wouldnt even have been considered by the members of the Republican party.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for cutting immigration. Just before Trump is elected and all the US liberals decide to come to Canada. The likes of Whoopy (I don't know what that means) and Joy, whom I haven't seen joyous since I have been watching the view. Okay, I have not been watching the view, maybe never. And, of course, Mika and Joe from MSNBC, can't forget Velshi, I'm pretty sure he is Canadian, okay, he can come home. And the CNN folks, we could take a few from there, CBC would hire them. BUT THAT'S IT. Thank you again, Mr. Trudeau.

That magic number that Canadians would like to get to is ZERO. We've already taken in more than we're equipped to deal with and need a complete halt to further immigration. If your kitchen sink was overflowing, the first thing you would do would be to turn off the taps and then deal with the problem.

US seems like a better option. Why would anyone come to canada though?

And the Saudis dont want Palestinians in their country because they’d take over just like Hezbollah did Lebanon just the same as they have tried to do in other countries. That would be the end of the Saudi ruling class.

I would never vote for Pierre and his 50's makeover stances, but Trudeau effed Kitchener up, big time. Just like Doug Ford. Shame. Vote Green.

How demeaning . I never faced such humiliation in UK. I am back in lndia for good.\nIf anything like this happened l would have packed my bag and come back the next day. \nWhy is he saying he is Canadian. He must be so desparate to convince that lady. Pathetic.

She's like a Jew who voted for Hitler. They thought they would be ok. Because they were against labor.

i say shut down the borders but only have them open to transport of goods NOT PEOPLE God i wish i could run for prime minister There would be massive changes and change for the people NOT the government. They have become greedy little liars scam artists. Thes people running for the top spot will say anything to win the spot and when they do get it all those promises they made will go out the window and the excuses will fly. SOMEONE help me out and help me run and win the top spot I can live off of 2,300 a month my wife and i are doing that and have been for years. Disability needs to change big time. I worked for 31 years with horses and after the last accident happened it put me on the shelf for good. i was denied disabilty 2 times had to go infront of the tribunal and i finally got it. I should have just kept working through the injury like so many others i worked through my family would have been more comfortable. GET ME IN THE RUNNING!

Racism is a culture I don’t like that fact they think they’re superior and they’re not I would rather visit a country of color I love being black and I love people of color.

What seems to dominate our Prime Minister’s priorities are issues like LGBTQ+ rights and sanctioning Russia—a focus that began a decade ago—while the pressing challenges facing Canadians today have taken a backseat. This failure to address the immediate concerns of Canadians has left many feeling frustrated and neglected. Rather than tackling domestic issues head-on, there’s been a greater emphasis on maintaining a positive image on the global stage. However, these cosmetic gestures do little for Canadians struggling with real problems at home.\n\nIf the Canadian economy were thriving, like those of Singapore, China, or the UAE, there would be a natural push to attract more international talent and investment. But instead, our economy is faltering, and many businesses are on the brink of collapse. This raises an important question: why do large Canadian businesses prioritize trade with China instead of focusing on strengthening the local market? It’s time to hold these businesses accountable for their choices, as well as the government, for failing to create a conducive environment for domestic growth. Addressing these structural issues and focusing on the needs of Canadians should be the priority—not seeking validation abroad.

The manufacturing and high-tech jobs that Canada once prided itself on are no longer flourishing here. Instead, many Canadian millionaires and billionaires have moved significant projects overseas to countries like China and India, where labor is cheaper. My cousin, for example, manages software engineers in India who produce software for a Canadian company he works for—because the company's millionaire owner recognizes that outsourcing is far more cost-effective than employing Canadians. Similarly, a friend in Calgary mentioned that even the construction of the Peace Bridge involved components manufactured in South Korea, with only the assembly done locally. It became a political statement, but it highlighted how even critical infrastructure projects are outsourced for cost savings.\n\nSo, who is truly to blame? Politicians and business leaders, most of whom are born and raised in Canada, are at the heart of this issue. Immigrants face the same struggles as many underprivileged Canadians. For instance, a Tim Hortons owner on Southland Drive SE shared with me that he struggled to hire local workers—many would not show up or quit without notice. Eventually, he sponsored six workers from the Philippines, providing them housing nearby, and his operations became smoother without the frequent staffing issues. Another employer mentioned that when hiring local workers, he often hires two people for a one-person job because he knows that one might not show up. These stories underscore the reality that the challenges with the labor market are deeper than just immigration—they reflect structural issues within the economy and decisions made by those at the top.

People who only blame immigrants have no idea how low the birth rate is in Canada. Just think how many families with children there are. Without these immigrants the country's population would be in decline, like in Korea and Japan. Immigration cannot be zero simply because the country needs it. But it is true that everything has gotten out of control. Policies must be reviewed to avoid fraud and saturation of services.

What I would like to know is, how can the immigrants afford to buy up 3 local businesses in the small town that I live in and still receive government handouts and tax breaks..?
