The meaning of asylum is gone down the drain.

Canada will take the brains. America is nothing but a drain for the smart.

When you break the law and disown your family members for upholding the law! \n\nThis lady is so sweet and soft-spoken yet so TOUGH with her attitude! I have so much respect for her being so honest and respectful of what our country stands for!!! We need more people like her. \n\nShe should report these losers in her family to ICE then! They’ve already drained too much from our country, it’s time to stop their milking our hard-earned money!!!! \n\nIf not, Mr. Homan and Mr. Miller will get it done! ??????????????

I’m Native American and I say deport her. Yes, I’m entitled to my opinion. I’m a citizen and my people have been here for thousands of years. And, my people have been fighting for this nation even before we were considered citizens ourselves. We were employed by the U.S. Military to serve as Scouts (fighting against our own people to help the U.S. conquer-hint hint). Our languages were used to help win WWII and we have the highest enlistments by ethnic group. Most undocumented people I know are cool and they pay their dues and don’t want any problems. These ones that act high and mighty drain the life out of this country. I want to see this lady’s face when she finds out she is the wrong color according to some of her peers. Lol

The side effects of mass deportation is brain drain. Why would even legal immigrants want to stay given this sort of totalitarian environment being now transformed.

So glad our president Trump is stopping the funding of illegals… get rid of the freeloaders of the world who walked into our country and drained our resources already. Wait til the nuts that support Kamala get a tax increase… it’s for funding the illegals…

It's time to get LEGAL AND PAY TAXES ALSO OR LEAVE. They are GIVING billions of taxpayers dollars to illegals who come here and strain our systems while AMERICANS ARE LOSING OUT. We need our manufacturing back in our own countries. And our own farmers can handle our food. Our farmers are under fire. They need our support. And we have always had WORK VISAS for seasonal workers for AG. That doesn't mean they can come here illegally and DRAIN OUR RESOURCES . This isn't even remotely logical. You cannot have a successful economy or a secure safe country WITHOUT LAWS to govern immigration.

Keep spewing that rhetoric, Banks. You know who else will be leaving the country? A lot of educated folks who do not want to be part of your BS. Look at the brain-drain which happened to Russia 2 yrs ago or South Africa in the early 2000s. Look at them now. 3rd world Trump will have his 3rd world sh***ole right on his doorstep every morning.

Illegal immigrants need to be deported..they free loading and us tax payers are footing the bills ..and draining our resources!!

I think we should also be bracing for a stream of American Democrats and liberals moving north. Trump 2.0 isn't the same as 1.0. That time it was I'm leaving because. . . This time its I'm leaving because I might not be welcome here anymore. Although highly unlikely because of our close proximity one could even argue that an American brain drain might also happen as scientists move north to continue their research free of government interference. Remember Einstein read the room in the 1930s and left Germany for America. This could now happen to America as scientists read the room and walk away with their research saying let those Christian Nationalist deal with nuclear fission with just God's hands.

I’m a Canadian citizen. I married a Jewish African woman. And helped her get her citizenship after we got married here in Canada. Then we stood outside in the -20 degrees c freezing cold in a long lineup of good people trying to get their citizenships like my wife, all legally obeying the laws of Canada. I’m white so it doesn’t mater our skin color or religion. Its about love and respect to the laws of our country. What I was talking about before is we here in Canada have been suffering from over taxation, extremely high rental rates, high food costs, greatly reduced medical care (My Mom died recently from lack of proper med care resources). They put her lonely dying body in the hallway where she was robbed of her cell phones, money, food and respect. Due to migrants and illegal immigrants overloading the beds and rooms pouring in from other countries. they drained our existing medical system resources and much more. Drug addicts who overdosed on Fentanyl they take first and push all other patients aside. Doctors take them first before helping a dying mother, father, brother or sister, infant and children pushed aside to save a drug addicts life first. I have been told many times this is also do to them taking care of the pouring in migrants and illegal immigrants using it all up. Where is love and justice? Yes, you failed us Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. You sold us Canadian citizens out and tossed us aside for your own agendas. You are a disgrace to Canada and we the people want you out of office.

Because that will bring prices down on bacon and eggs? Abd will be swell! Lol the amount of resources and money that this will drain. This alone would put a dent on our economic recovery. President Cheeto is inheriting a thriving economy. \n\n\nRepublicans are going to run through the U.S woth F's to give. Elections can have severe consequences.

These immigrants have drained our economy with all the free money cards they were given the free housing clothing phones etc… \nGo back , want to come back … great get vettted be prepared to work hard and no freebies !!! Not. One. Dime. Oh and learn the language . All these things my grandparents and aunts did . They all\nBuilt a good life and contributed to our country

Yes the immigrants must GO. They are illegal, some are criminal immigrants and they are killing Americans. The immigrants are draining our resources while Americans or having to do without. We have LAWS on immigration and they MUST be followed. NO exceptions! Our economy is terrible and people are struggling to buy groceries or get Meds. We have poor/middle class people suffering because of the Biden/Harris administration. There will be no assault - ya'll are comical. WE have people here at CNN that don't have clue but yet tell everybody what needs to be done. The bottom line is - Donald Trump is our president and he will make the decision and will handle in a professional manner the illegal immigration problem. Show President Trump some respect. I was raised to respect your elders - what has happened to that? Ya'll sit back watch - don't' worry about immigration and watch a pro git er done. God Bless the USA..........

15 million people to deport at (an estimated) $88 billion per million deportees. That’s a cost of $1,320,000,000,000 while Musk is also trying to implement his austerity measures and not accounting for the workforce drain. That’ll make for a great economy. This is so blindly stupid

The plan is particularly cruel and it looks to be extremely racist in nature. It looks as though it is going to cost $10K per person to deport them so why not offer people $10K per head if they will leave voluntarily? However, can the USA afford to lose all these people? There will be massive job vacancies that cannot be filled, so many businesses will have to close down, causing hardship to the business owners. Perhaps the first step should be to find out why these people are considered to be such a drain on America's economy. It seems to me that they make a massive contribution. That being the case, why not make some criteria which, if met, will allow people to legalise their presence in America?\n\nAnything must be better than mass incarcerations and deportation which looks an awful lot like Nazi Germany.

One of the mandates that got him elected. America is not racist, we should be expected to accommodate and pay for people who want to drain our resources.

Kick out the Indian students who don't come to learn but try to get PR status through fake colleges AND the unskilled Filipino workers getting express entry through the 'Caregiver program', who have raped that program for decades and are number 2 on the list of most immigrants EVERY DAMN YEAR because of this program AND the Africans littering shelters and draining welfare and other programs paid for by taxpayers. Also kick out the Arabs who come to this country, looking at Palestinians right now, who don't adopt Canadian values but disrupt Canadian lives with their protest and who don't go back to their countries and fight THEIR WAR but will complain it from the safety of Canada. Let's start here. Hope the next PM of Canada does this.

Cost of Living in the USA is lower than Canada. Brain drain as our youth leave en masse in order to survive and prosper.

So many are crizizing having no idea how to to to a sane plan to reach their objective. People with little education or experience in this field have strong opinions based on their biases. I'd like to not cover non citizens with provincial health or social programs until they are citizens and working. I'd like anyone committing crimes and is a non citizen, jailed and then deported. We don't need new criminals or drains on our social programs. I think most new immigrants are good people, but why should we pay for the others.

brain drain from india to usa but waste drsin to canada???❤ from india❤❤

. Canada relies on immigration for pretty much everything 1) colleges make money 2) landlords make money 3 ) government makes money from more taxes 4) banks make money from more mortgage applications 5) realtors make money . And they know majority of international students goal is to later. Buy a house Punjabi people own more real estate then most people in Canada combined. Canada government just uses the taxes the more people\nCome the more taxes people\nPay . Don’t forget Canada was not a white man land it belongs to the indigenous people . We are all immigrants from somewhere people get scared of what they don’t understand. Every community has their far share of bad apples. As I agree we do need to have a a tighter immigration system it’s not good when there are to many people\nComing from the same country . And the things the new comers do just make the community look bad People that came to Canada -30 years ago have gotten respect know all that went down the drain .?‍♀️

India doesn't want brain drain, so that's a trade war too.

Stop pressuring countries to let migrants in when they have made the informed decision it’s not for them. They have autonomy and a right to refuse migrants, especially when they are responsible for housing and feeding them, they don’t have those resources to do this for long and it’s a drain on the economy.

I am Canadian and a lot of the people I know that are under 30 and especially under 25 are only employed part time (due to lack of work) and still live with parents. I feel it will lead to lots of social issues in future as they are not gaining experience in fields that are valuable while never making enough to live on their own. The high competition and lack of career opportunities will just lead to brain drain. What will be left is a large welfare problem and skilled worker problem as anyone will skills will jump ship. The friends thing is also a BC thing, BC is strange

To USA it is brain drain. To Canada it is brawn drain.

That is why the brain drain is inevitable in Canada. In monopolies people do not stay!

Looks like china is afraid of brain drain. They created this video to tarnish Canada reputation to discourage us from moving to Canada. My Hong Kong friends migrated to Canada all said living in Canada is so much better as long as you don’t live in the ethnic slums. They could easily got a job and enjoy the public health care system. And we can rely on the government for our retirement.

Trudeau is really the Canadian Perro Sanxe ? at least we're not the only ones fucked; 0,7% of brain drain I think is quite positive for what could be...

Get out. Not welcome. Just a drain on resources.

These kind of liberal biased news stories is why Vice is circling the drain.

Im old generations Canadian, banks wont lend to me for beeing Construction Contractor, i cant buy land, denied a family doctor and beeing single dad of 4 have to pay everything out of pocket.

THEY ARE COMING TO THE FOOD BANKS WEARING TONS OF GOLD JEWELLRY, \nDRIVING EXPENSIVE ? CARS, DRAINING THE COUNTRY FINANCE, \nDUMPING MORE GARBAGE THAN EVER ,EVERYWARE,\nNOW CANADA ?? LOOKING LIKE A BIG GARBAGE DUMP.\nSTREETS , PARKS, EVEN OUR ROADS, AND HYWAYS.PARKS.

I’m Ukrainian, and I came to Canada in 2024 through the CUAET program. I work remotely for a U.S. company, but it feels impossible to survive here with my current salary. If I stay longer than six months, I’ll have to pay taxes, which would leave me struggling to afford rent and basic necessities like food. I’ve never seen bread and eggs as expensive as they are here, not even in Paris, one of the most tourist-visited cities in the world, where prices are much lower than in Canadian supermarkets. It doesn’t feel like Canada offers me protection—instead, it feels like a vacuum that’s draining all my savings. Before 2022, in Kyiv, I lived a far better life than the average Canadian today, with my own apartment, car, and the ability to travel wherever I wanted for vacations.\nSo I leave in October while I have some money yet. Arrividerci!

Thank you for sharing the truth on our immigration crisis and issues related to the foreign students. Government should not have allowed to bring spouses and their children to Canada while they are on foreign students visa. No other countries allowed this. This created a crisis in rental industry. They started draining our resources such as rental, school, healthcare…etc. no student should be allowed to work in any of the industries. They are taking away Canadian citizens jobs. In last 2 years I have spoken with many Canadian students and they are unable to find summer employment. This has to be stopped. Wake up Canadian politicians and government.

Govt of Indian should ban paid education of Indians to Canada\n.Permit only to pg/ doctoral students with scolarships only to drain of Indian moneyas foreign exchange,to keep dignity of Indias image globally

How entitled can you be to protest and demand for citizenship stop draining our resources

I see nothing wrong with what the Canadians are doing, people need to fix their countries! Get your education, go home and improve your country. The brain and talent drain on developing countries is a major problem.

It's all over the western world. Naive politicians have ruined our societies. Our own citizens are jobless, homeless. Migrants are draining the system.

We are being overrun in australia by these scheming low skilled drains on our society masquerading as “international students”. We need to get our country back before we join them in the third world

We are creating a brain drain in foreign counties. These educated people should be going back to improve the quality of life in their home countries

This is a fraud on India too, the nation has a brain drain and has a hard time modernizing. The political instability is also de-stabilizing. All Trump has to do is demand the last 10 million immigrants will be tossed out-- and bingo-- he gets support.

They make productive citizens here, you dont see them vandalizing other neighborhoods and draining the economy like the other nationalities. Asians are welcome here❤️❤️❤️

The level of institutionalized racism here is mind-blowing. I came here for my masters. For context, I am an African female so I experience racism mixed with sexism often(a very draining combination) Anyway, after less than 2 months in a German university, i realised I wasn't at all welcome. I never got the grades I deserved and after several shocking exam results were released, i decided to challenge their decision and call for my exam scripts. Voila! Turned out I was right! I was being evaluated much harsher than my classmates. I'm still so grateful to my Indian friends who gave their consent for the inquiry board to compare the grading scheme used on the rest of the class to mine! Ever since that incident, I see the hate in their eyes, especially from my German classmates who are angry at me for demanding my rights. I've lost interest in this country ever since and can't wait to graduate and go somewhere else.\nDON'T COME HERE as a skilled immigrant or student! My school fees and every expense incurred to get this education is a huge waste! The quality of education is also shocking and shameful!

The brain drain left India 20 years ago, they are well established and in many cases at top levels of Western corporations, some of the brain drain has returned to India and doing well, having traveled to India many times, this man is absolutely right. try and fit in and dont demand or hate on anyone, the majority of Indians are usually very polite.\n\nas for our Government, the majority of Canadians agree.....total incompetence....

As a Canadian born in Canada I feel the border needs to be shut down. We have worked hard to set our standard of living, this is now in danger of collapsing because the government has allowed so many immigrants into Canada putting a strain on our healthcare,housing and other programs. These people are getting to use our resources without having paid into them for years like we Canadians have. Our way of life and standard of living are at risk of collapsing, we see it happening in our healthcare, affordable housing and the drain on funds for the poor. When we see them protesting about being forced to leave and how they refuse to try and take on our culture, where whole towns are being taken over by their arrogant attitude to take over these cities. We want our country back

India behavior is very irrelevant , we see indian reputation going down the drain . The old and fragile Pm need to be replace as India is the country of youth ..

at one time not so long ago you needed a trade or profession to come to Canada to benefit the country not be a drain on our social system and healthcare system

Germany (and Europe) went through plagues that took out half its population. We fought communism, fascism, and plenty more. We dont need to bring low-skilled people from the 3rd world and from war zones to replace out population. We can figure it out! Most of the newcomers aren’t working anyway! The are a net drain on the economy!
