It is a little unfair if they were going through the immigration process legally and are now being stopped while they have already entered the process.

Even though some people would like to, we can't save the whole world, The cup overflows already.

This is what trump is trying to put an end to, there they are being told you are not coming in and so they decide fuck you and your border we can, they're already committing crimes and they haven't even got there yet, it's like being told not to break into a house full of cops and they still don't give a shit

All the time they were waiting in Mexico, they could have gotten jobs and built lives there. Mexico has a lower unemployment rate than the US. They already speak Spanish.

Thousands of Immigrants already entry into the country with Permits and Documents to work in the USA a lot from Venezuela

So let me get this straight, Mexicans are worried that their country and shelters will be overwhelmed, but we’re not already overwhelmed here in the US, right? Ok got it!

As a country there is nothing wrong with Mexico and many Americans retire there. I dont understand why people can't migrate there? I mean they are already there, and living well why do they need to proceed to America?

A Trump piñata?!?! - LMAO!!\nTrump ain’t gonna care about the imagery.He’s already in office

How to covet visit visa to working permits within Nigeria sir , when the person already have the visa

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

Ms. Sharma went to Oxford and gave a cringeworthy performance about the supposed strength of Indian passport and how it is the envy of the word. So. didn't expect much substance from the propaganda spreading jingoistic journalist. She conveniently missed mentioning the real reasons why visa applications of Indians get rejected -\n1) Thousands of Indians go on tourists visas only to 'disappear' and never return. It doesn't just happen in Canada, US, UK, Aus but also welcoming countries like Thailand, UAE.\n2) Indian Visa (to visit India) itself is one of the most expensive and complicated to get for foreigners, so other countries have no incentive to make it easier for Indian citizens.\n3) Developed countries know that if they make it 'easier' for Indians to travel to their country, they will end up with tens of thousands who wont want to go back to India. It is already the case when its difficult to get a visa, imagine the situation if its made easier.\n4) Most of the Indian tourists fall under the mass category, they are not like the heavy spending Chinese tourists. We are not the most well behaved, so till we start getting more affluent, we wont be in as much demand.

Hasn't Indians already milked the hell out of America, Canada and UK ? Everyone sees Indians as opportunists, Indians don't have loyalty towards anyone but themselves. Being one of the largest immigrant community in western countries. Truly, how much revenue are these indians pumping into economy of these countries ? Hardly any.....cause most of their money goes to India. Yet they continue to depleting all the resources of the western countries.

Well india now has more than 1 billion middle class people looking to travel abroad. Lots of countries cannot handle the sheer number of indian tourists. India gets more than 70% of the usa H1B Visas so it's already getting most of the world's Visas. Maybe Indians should stay home and support states like Goa that are suffering from a lack of tourists

They don't even follow road rule. Look at Bronco hockey team got killed by one of those so called driver. Our roads are more dangerous than before. Class 1 driver for sale from those particular group instead of really learn to become a real driver. Those people make our country weak and become disorder by their corruption and we simply have to accept for their demand? It is true not all of them are bad, but one bad apple in the whole bushel of apple is already bad. Sent them home and clean up those mess.

Because we already have plenty of you here.

They close other countries because they are already over crowded. Like in other country they are more indian people than the local people. Thats the reality. They just want to control thier population. Its not about business its about how local control thier teritories and power. Freedom of speech

India is also exporting the their native discriminations as well such as the caste system and discrimination of other people. There are already too many Indians in this world. Indians are also too materialistic and greedy.

Too many already \n\nYou wanted freedom independence your own country \nOk stay in your country !

It's well deserved the way some try to get in with fraud docs and wrong way...But should not be rejected, right Palki ? // cause duniya mein ab GODI and Andh Bhakt need to work harder // I thought India is already a VC ishwaguru and our danka is on top right Palki?? // and where is that sycophant Akshay Kumar who say at immigration they jostle to handle indian passports and in his words Aw Aw you are from Modis India, where is this aw aw crow sounding with a rubbish accent now hiding.????

Palki: your program shows only part of the story. \n\nIndians are one of the most visible visa violators. You should know that in the US, we have 700,000 illegal immigrants, which includes people who are overstaying their given visa duration. \n\nOver 15% of the Indian population in the US are illegal aliens. \n\nBy giving such incomplete picture of the issue, you are only losing your credibility outside India as a Angrezi Indian TV program \n\nYou should do a series of programs on why Indians, in the middle of such promising growth, are so desperately wanting to leave India to Angrezi-speaking Gora countries. \n\nYou should dig a little deep into the issue. \n\nUK and France are under the grip of their social fabric being torn apart because of their own past errors and sins as empires. \n\nBelgium and Holland are already changed demographically with legal and illegal immigrants. \n\nCanada, Australia and NZ are threatened by Indian immigrants who have entered their counties under the guise of students. The populations of these countries are smaller than Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata metro populations. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman

So I was lied to. I thought India had already become a superpower. Everyone wanted to near Great Bharat Empire.

Why do you guys want to go to countries where Jesus is already blessed. Bring Jesus to India to make this country a blessed nation. Amen ?.

Just wait and watch, we will see these countries crying in few years as they already have allowed that radical crap in their country ?. West will soon get the taste of their own medicine ?. Jihadis only know one thing.

Starting to feel Palki is biased towards India than being an honest journalist. Did you even bother to check why Indian visas are getting rejected in these countries? What the rejection reasons were? \n\nAs many have already commented, I will put across a list for Palki -\n\n1. Indians are Indians even outside India, well, what good are you if you do not wish to be integrated and become part of the society? \n2. Do not like to research, and instead ask questions to save time which is bad manners.\n3. Complaining is in our blood about everything.\n4. Be respectful and be considerate of others.\n5. If you are applying for a tourist visa, be a tourist and should return when the visa expires. Get a good insurance which most of the time people are not un-aware.\n6. If you apply for student visa, be a student and do not exploit the visa or violate any rules and extend your visa stay.\n7. If you are hired for work, honour the work permit rules.\n8. Last but not the least, be a good citizena and don't do anything which may spoil your countries' image.

Why Indians want to leave or to travel when we are already in Vishwaguru era?

Aren't we Vishwaguru!? Then why are the Indian Passports always looked at with skepticism by the immigration abroad. Even at the Bangkok airport they look at us suspiciously. Only at Kuala Lumpur I thought they appeared a bit welcoming. Reasons, already given in the above comments. We have to look inwards. Looking at everything with the lens of hollow nationalism won't help us. Being 5th largest economy is due to the size of our population. Please club the size of economy with our per capita income...and you get the real picture.

India Rising is without doubt the worst possible narrative being peddled by the anchor. It is far from the truth. \nA few already rich getting richer is not to be tom-tomed for a nation of 1.5 bn. \nBesides, if the country is doing so great why are Indians so desperate to get out. To go any country, the number of legal and illegal Indians outnumbers all other arrivals. \n\nNot to forget, the anchor conveniently brushes aside the visa abuse by Indians. \n\nIf there are so many with such stringent regulations, imagine what will be the case if there is freedom of movement. \n\nGet a reality check before reporting

STAY HOME. THE WEST ALREADY TAKE TOO MANY OF YOU GUYS... YOU GUYS TURN BRAMPTON, CANADA INTO DELHI. POOPING ON THE BEACH, TRASHING THE STREET, CAR THIEVES, GANG RAPE, AND CRIME ALL OVER THE PLACE NO MORE

It’s not fair! If a person comes to America legally on a student or marriage visa, their parents have to pay everything to bring them here, and those individuals cannot receive government assistance for five years. However, if someone comes here illegally, they are given free housing, cars, money, healthcare, food stamps, and other benefits. We need those resources for our own citizens, as our country is already struggling. If you can’t come legally, please stay in your country.

Because our govt is not teaching compulsory civic sense training to those who are going outside country. Those already out there are already setting bad examples in the name of Indian and causing one of the major reason for your heading.

Visa scam by north Indian specially Gujrati, Rajasthani ,Punjabi, haryana people already banned by Australia government during covid ..because of north Indian scammers , South Indian also suffers ..

Lots of phone scammers have already got the Green card in the USA. Scammers were given student visa by carriers and they work as couriers. Stealing from poor people.\nIn UK ALL of scam calls I am getting are from Kolkata. They steal poor pensioners without any heart. Heartless and cruel. Indian students miss behave, laugh and talk louder on the high streets, drop waste on the street. Truthfulness, kind heartless should be part of education system. Also there's no place for bribe in these countries. In India rich parents show their kids how to get around by bribery.\n\nEducated and intelligent Indian scammers are a world known issue.

It's very contradicting to hear that Hindus are the most law-abiding citizens, highly educated, good jobs, helping in their society. And now, I am wondering who these Nepotism ones are using Indian passports and from where the negative accusations are from. Who are the culprits in these cases, and don't forget there is also lots of hate created toward Hindus, their way of life, temples, being headans, not belonging to the abrahamic majority in any of those countries.\nMy sincere advice, don't visit abrahamic countries at all. They have broken, severed, you from your own culture, taught you to be like them, yet they all refuse you like you should not exist, not someone or something like them. Why doesn't anyone just wise up and stay in their own habitat? By the way, so you know, Shiva Ji himself if anyone has read the bhavishya purana, said to us to avoid going in such countries or be with those barbaric asurs and mleccha. But, if you've forgotten those roots, it's only understandable you want to feel belonging within those who despise you already in one or many ways. Like Shrimati Palki said, go only to those few countries for the time being. In the meantime, take very good care of those you love and learn how to protect them in a world that is very hostile against all Hindus, Sanatani's.

we dont want to make australia a second canada. They already too many here.

I worked in India for 6 years and then shifted abroad for a Masters, and now I am pursuing a fully funded PhD. In the UK, what I have observed is that the crop of students arriving from India are by the day lesser inclined towards studies and more in pursuit of the quick buck. Yes, getting a ‘UK based work experience’ is necessary to build the edge to compete against the wider international students post graduation and I have myself worked part-time in profiles which complimented my course in parallel to prioritising studies. However, the increasing trend amongst the masses (I do not want to generalise but yes this is unfortunately true and especially from certain states, the case is magnified: Read Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana) remains getting that student visa to earn quick buck to support themselves financially, chiefly, save up to dole out to so called ‘assignment writers’ which helps them pass the course to further graduate and transfer to a grad visa (again comes at a cost) which allows them 2 years worth of stay with no working hour stipulation post graduation. Thereon, work full time in laborious jobs with again not focussing on applying to full time opportunities in the field of study. Thus, what remains at the end of the day is lost time and opportunity and since I am only talking of people who come here on a Student VISA so primarily, the opportunity cost lost to upskill and further horizons. For the country’s perspective, getting cheap, skilled labour for an unskilled job is obviously an advantage but then there are cases of students not respecting their working hour restrictions, vandalising, bickering loudly, joining hands with the already operating extremist forces which instigate violence and hatred etc. In all, I think the resistance to not becoming bicultural which is a product of serious mental and physical toil and wasting time in frivolity is the main cause of the anti-immigration wave.

ANGLOS FEAR INDIANS\nThey grew up on INDIAN WEALTH - All 5 Cross Eyed Anglo colonies were built by BRITISH RAJ on INDIAN WEALTH. They know India will rise, without resorting to crime, unlike the Anglo. The Anglo always fear India & China. China already broke out, it time for India to reach its height. The Dharmic world must retake its position over the backward Abrahamic world.

She still won't understand declining value of indian passport whe according to her indians are swinging their passport with pride while on the other hand just have a look at lines for visa. \nPeople are ready to die in those visa lines but wouldn't want to find opportunities here whether you are already here or abroad.\nStart asking these real questions to the government

New zealand already made it known they wont be taking in. The cost of living and housing is so unaffordable look it up.

I remember when my country Indonesia still gave Indians visa access like everyone else. It was horrible! Our airports were swarmed with unruly and mannerless Indians. They complained to be, discriminated, when they were treated like anybody else. What worse was they called everybody Chinese and made it the reason to fight with them, even with security guards! Everyone look Chinese to them. Such bigoted people were security and stability threat for everyone. They should stay in India since India is already ruined anyway. In Paliki style, I will tell you what Indians should do, Do Not Ruin Everywhere Else.

India is 1.4 billion strong. If a European country gives Indians easier access on visa, we will flood that country. You already have Dunkis thronging in droves, illegally entering US and Canada. This has nothing to do with nationalism or some second-class treatment by other nations. This is simply the logistical reality. India's passport ranking will never improve. And the way Indians behave in other countries, I would say this rejection rate is more than justified.

Countries do not just reject visas for no reason. Probably because in there data many Indian Nationals over-stay there visa and stay there for good even though tourist visa already expired. Immigration can determined who is entering and departing in their port of entries. Many Indian nationals stay in a country undocumented that's the reason of visa rejection!

Indians with GC's already settled don't won't more of their brothers and sisters to be inside USA. They are supporting this move ... and voted trump to bring these kind of reforms

Why will i want to go Sri lanka or Thailand if i want to explore Europe.Its not that these countries are bad but if i had already visited ds countries now in want to go Norway or New Zealand then?Avoiding countries is not solution making the policies to make our passport should b the solution.

It's time people stopped crossing borders. It's causing uneasiness across the globe especially by Hindians and Mueslis. It's causing upheavals in society in the intended destinations. Hope those people already there will be deported or asked to go back soon. There's only so much a country can accept as visitors or migrants due to lack of resources in the host country. If they are there for welfare, please leave

Because India is already Vishwa Guru???

I also agree with this. \nI am New Zealand citizen with 23 years in this country! \nNew Zealand immigration is rejected my uncle's visa we already sponsor. \nImmigration officer rejected without asking any one question we already plan with our family reunion and show my kids to the family roots families more important. They only want to come for 2 weeks!!!!\nWe are genuine sponsors! New Zealand immigration please find it out about the genuine people!\n?

due to mass immigration many dont return to india.. overpopulation demn guys your already billions in populations stop having children! i myself saw in UK, Ireland and Polish immigration 85% are Indians!!! \ntheir using tourist and student visa then many of their families own businesses and settle marry inside the host countries and 90% bring their children and wife! imagine thet

The West already has tens of millions of Indians already here, your people are everywhere literally all over the world, your country is making it harder to start a business or settle in India, so why should your country get free access?

Pray tell me, weren't we already vishwaguru?

Because we already have too many indians without citizenship working here...
