Like the Mexican Government, the Cartels Have a Vested Interest in Managing the Flow of Migrants \nr \nFAIR Take | November 2024 \n \nIn the closing months before the U.S. elections, the number of encounters of illegal aliens entering the U.S. has declined significantly. This September, 144,666 such encounters were recorded, down from 370,883 in December 2023. Everything is relative, of course. The September 2024 figures were still huge by historical standards, and nearly five times greater than the number of encounters Jeh Johnson, Homeland Security Secretary under President Obama, said would constitute a crisis. \n \nAs FAIR has reported, the Biden-Harris administration deserves very little credit for decline in border encounters since last December. Rather, the administration cut a deal with the government of Mexico to impede the flow of migrants heading north, as the elections approached. Overt action on the part of the Biden-Harris administration would have enraged the political base of President Biden and Vice President Harris, so, earlier this year, the administration essentially outsourced the job to the outgoing administration of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (who left office on Oct. 1).\n\nSOURCE, FAIR US org

They keep prattling on about the cost of the deporting, the cost of deporting, the cost of deporting.\n\nHow the hell much are we paying now for these suckers to live freely on our dime?\n\nI’m pretty sure the public would rather pay to get rid of them.

Democrats, if you're watching this don't be offended. Rather, learn from it. You may not agree with these people's opinions but this is what the majority of Americans think and that's why Trump won. They don't care about the insults that Trump keeps spitting out. They care about their own self-interests. Also, here's what Stephen A. Smith said: Immigrants who came here legally don't support illegal immigrants. Imagine yourself standing in line for an hour to ride your favorite ride at a theme park, only to have a group of people cut in front of you without waiting. You would be outraged wouldn't you? I would and this is how they feel. Bottom line: the majority wants a stronger border. America may be a country of immigrants, but now is not the time to take in more immigrants especially if they're here illegally. We are struggling; we can't afford to help outsiders at this time. It's time to help ourselves out before we help others. It's not selfish. The truth is, how useful can we be to others if we ourselves are bleeding?

Wow she would be ok with her family being deported rather try/help them ..smdh what a…I’m not going to say it..

What an a__. U.S needs immigrants cause citizens would rather not do certain jobs.. never mind that it is inhumane + your own pm ancestors came in uninvited. Such hypocrisy..

I would never immigrate to any country. I have my india. Im very happy here. Whether its good or bad or poor, its my own country. Id rather live here than in any western country like a second class citizen.

I would rather pay for them to go than for them to stay

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

Trumps America ?? would rather have FAT WHITE LAZY AMERICANS than hard-working immigrants....This idiot is an ignorant woman, no idea what she's in for ?

Apart from the huge deportation project being inhumane and fascist, why is nobody even mentioning the political prerequisite of readmission agreements? You cannot just dump thousands of migrants back on the countries they came from, especially if these are countries that are classed as dangerous and unlivable. Generally they do NOT take them back and even if there is a readmission agreement they will invoke other reasons not to admit them. Immigrants or refugees can also lawyer up and show that they will face prison, torture , persecution, war or starvation in their country of origin which makes it a human rights offence to deport them. I know this because I often interpret EU meetings on migration and asylum. Most immigrants can never be returned and would rather die or abscond than to return as a failed emigrant or be imprisoned, tortured, persecuted, die fighting or of starvation.

Government should have done this much earlier , yes Canada may need immigrants but not those who can’t follow the rules of this land and the ones who thinks that they are still in there home country and don’t want to change them self . Rather I would say Canada should stop immigration completely from some specific country who are creating problems here .

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.

This woman would rather have her family deported and risk never seeing them again than have Kamala keep them united and open the pathway for them to become citizens.\n\nWhat a wonderful, auntie! I can tell she’d do anything for family!

Good move... We moving in record numbers to the Anglo countries yet we criticise and pick fights with them... I hope our diaspora keeps coming back.. I'd rather rebuild my hell hole country than ignore my problems & become an NRI... Leave these countries we are unwanted & at the end they would blame you for their shortcomings no matter how good you do? It's better to be a begger in you own 3rd world country than be a yes man dog

Saudi was going to normalise ties with israel. They don't care about Palestine. You won't see single protest for Palestine in Saudi. Rather this country would help Israel and US in creation of ISIS and other radical factions so that Israeli aggression is justified!!

I am from the Balkans. I have been studying, living and working abroad since I was 18. Germany was the 7th country I moved to and the first country ever I felt unwelcomed at work- because of my Balkan origins. I must say I was rather shocked because being a very open, international professional with lots of experience, I thought something of this kind would never be even imaginable. However, outside of my work field I gained many german friends pretty quickly - friends for life ( no competition here, haha). 10 years later, I am still here and the situation changed to better - a lot. A mix of getting trust, learning the language, and getting more international colleagues. I am totally thankful to the health system - they saved my life. If I stayed in my country, I would have had serious health issues. I am thankful to the democracy, freedom of expressing, schooling system( so much better than in my times in Yugoslavia), salaries, and many other things Germany gave me. I am living a good life, best life any of my family members had in generations. I would like to stay here as long as it feels good for me and my family. Having a german father to my kids is however the strongest link to me feeling home in Germany -having a local within your family makes it all a lot easier.

the damage that's been done would require us to either kick out 500k immigrants or close our doors to all immigration (except for those 18 and under in the most dire of situations) for the next 25 to 30 years. We should only be immigrating in those that actually need what we have to offer. The uneducated the jobless those with no homes or families or finances not those that already have plenty of cash and opportunity. id rather bring in 50k orphans and pay for that then have 400k new delivery drivers and foreign workers.

The government would rather spend there time and efforts with lgbtq

most people would rather complain then find somewhere else to live. I heard some communities in NL have houses between 50-75000

Sorry to break it to you. But whatever information your country is saying about how to permanently stay in Canada is LYING TO YOU. Rather than protesting, you all should have read the fine print from the official CANADIAN government.\n\nYou are here on just an INTERNATIONAL TEMPORARY STUDENT VISA. Temporary does NOT mean permanent. Once that expires THAT IS IT. You go back to your home country and apply what you studied in Canada over there!\n\nThen you wait in line like everyone else to properly apply for permanent residence. And here’s another thing: if you gotten approved for PERMANENT RESIDENCE, good for you. But with that status, YOU CANNOT VOTE IN CANADA!\n\nStop ruining it for others that are trying to permanently come here the RIGHT WAY. You’re NOT GOING TO GET AN EXTENSION ON EXPIRED FOOD GOING BAD. AND YOUR TEMPORARY STAY IS NOT GOING TO EXTEND. You are guests in Canada according to your status. And you’re being extremely rude with your protests that’s not gonna get you anywhere. How would you feel if a guest at your house is being rude?

who cares what colonial illegals think they should go back to their planet and get out of ours quit using everything indian hindus made including that language you are using and i can type a huge list.Canada is not your land and as for those people you call indians they are actually punjabi. as for the land your people stole those are native indians get out of their land why didnt your people come to their country the right way why didnt your people assimilate and integrate to society rather than plunder genocide them genocide the buffallo to extinction and then have the nerve to complain take your stupid shill videos comment section down this should be reported for marginalizing a race and brewing racial bigotry. you are only going to get yourself into total isolation from the financial system and housing the healthcare so if i was you i would shut the .. uP.. you anglos are the real genociders real invaders.also quit using prefabricated houses surgery writing wireless communications airplanes toilets airplanes dentistry university cotton clothing wool those are all IndiAs intellectual property and not yours to be blunt and straight to the point honest.besides the indians achievements you should also stop using fiber optics that came from punjabis .

There is no where else I would rather live than here in my country, Canada.

Look at it from the employers point of view. Over entitled Canadian workers with premadonna work ethic playing on their phones for half of the shift or more asking for inflated wages or would you rather hire a greatful worker who gives 100 percent focus on the job for half the pay?

I feel bad for these guys. Seriously I would rather have an international student serving me coffee than a regular student. These guys are polite hardworking and quick.. When they hired regular students i got attitude rudeness wrong orders.

yes canada is not racist and no one can make such generalization. however it is clear by many comments that racism clearly exists. international students are not just from india. they are from many countries. many come from nigeria also but rebel news or harrison and others would not say one word against anyone who is black. if all these people were from uk or europe then would this even be an issue to anyone? be honest. i am not taking sides. i been in canada for 40 years and my loyalty is to canada and for sure i would say there was lot of racism when i came in 1988. from grade 6 to 9 life was terrible here. things changed over time and my kids have not experienced racism for most of there life here but now i am seeing the bullies type that i faced are returning more and more especially online. rebel news and harrison (forgot his last name) are motivating such people. i had 2 racism incident in last few months. majority of indians are not trouble makers and are amongst the richest community in all of canada with the lowest crimes. many indian doctors, nurses, IT sector, engineers etc... now where does the problem lie. it is with poor immigration policies which lowered its standards. the requirements has to be raised higher and highly educated bunch is who we should bring in. many people from punjab india are involved in crimes and drugs and these are the people involved in the separatist movement and jagmeet and justin brought them in for votes. they need to go and so do those who are not loyal to canada. those of you who are racist i can give you a history lesson of the kkk or the crusaders but i know too many good people who i rather not group with you. in fact there is no need to go that route. you can never get rid of all blacks or indians out of canada. we have a history and we have every right to feel canadian as we obey and contribute to the economy and abide the law so f-off.

Gotta be honest though.. I would much rather this than muslims from the middle east. Europe is seriously f’d about now ?

Those people are never going to leave they would rather be illegal in Canada than back to India !

Just FYI. Canada has legal medically assisted suicide programed for financial hardship. They would rather you kill yourself than try to fix their own country.

I say defund the university they are so greedy they would rather see canada suffer then them

I like some of PPC views but Conservatives are our best shot to rid us this pariah Justin Trudeau. However i would be very reluctant to vote for a French Canadian Quebec PM ever again !! Their blatant favoritism and loyalty to Quebec rather then Canada as a whole I find infuriating

Request for Awareness Video on Amazon Pay Balance Policies\n\nDear Abhi and Niyu,\n\nI hope this message finds you well. My name is [Your Name], and I am a regular viewer of your channel. I greatly appreciate the insightful content you create and the important issues you bring to light.\n\nI am writing to suggest a topic for a potential awareness video that I believe would resonate strongly with your audience: the restrictive and, in my view, unethical policies governing Amazon Pay Balance. These policies not only limit consumer choice but also appear to benefit Amazon at the expense of its customers.\n\nKey Issues with Amazon Pay Balance:\n\nRestriction on Part Payments:\n\nOne of the most problematic aspects is the restriction on part payments. For example, if a customer has an Amazon Pay Balance of ₹100 and wants to buy an item priced at ₹200, they cannot use their balance to partially pay and cover the remaining ₹100 with another payment method. Instead, they are forced to either spend more than their balance or leave it unused. This restriction can be frustrating and inconvenient for customers, who are left with the difficult choice of either making unnecessary purchases to use their balance or letting it sit idle.\n\nLimited Validity of Balance:\n\nAnother significant issue is the expiration of Amazon Pay Balance. For instance, if a customer accumulates ₹500 in Amazon Pay Balance but does not use it within a set period, that balance may expire, resulting in a loss of funds. This practice can be particularly concerning. Imagine if 1,000 customers each have ₹100 in unused balance that expires monthly. Amazon stands to gain ₹1,00,000 from these expired balances alone. In countries with large user bases like India, where millions use Amazon services, this amount could grow substantially, raising ethical concerns about profiting from customer inaction.\n\nWhy This Matters:\n\nThese practices raise serious ethical questions about consumer rights and fairness. A company like Amazon, which prides itself on customer service, should offer policies that enhance satisfaction rather than impose restrictions that result in financial loss for consumers.\n\nBy informing the public about these issues, we can promote a broader discussion on the need for more transparent and consumer-friendly practices in digital payments.\n\nGiven your channel’s reach and reputation for addressing important topics, I believe your platform would be ideal for shedding light on these concerns. I would be happy to provide additional information or discuss this topic further if needed.\n\nThank you for considering this request. I look forward to the possibility of seeing this important issue addressed on your channel. Yeh! baat app ko batane se muze farak padta hai.

Highly recommend reading 'Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World by Gaia Vince'\nIt's available for free from most libraries as a book, ebook, or audiobook.\nBasically, the influx of people to the US and Canada is only going to keep growing. We can keep fighting it and getting more hateful or we can figure out ways to work with the new reality. Systems need to be overhauled and rethought with this in mind. The US has the potential to benefit from more people since our population is top heavy/aging. We just haven't actually been looking at how to do this because everyone would rather scream at each other.

It's not so much a German issue, rather about communities and law dynamics. PA is rly struggling for everyone, but for foreigners services they are making clearly less efforts. Then when it comes about being different from a local, again like in every country, you would not know anything about the law, the school, the possibilities, the services and all the good aspects which Germany has and often people do not know. This is often filled up by talking to people, which luckily happens still also here, where the people are kind, although you have to be close to someone most of the time.

My experiance with German culture is kind of simillier. All though I am not from Germany but from Austria.\nThe simillierities are kinda parallel. \n- The housing market is getting worse everyday.\n- Compared to the other countries the job market is not that matured. Specially in tech. The salaries are capped and you can reach the ceiling super quickly.\n- All though I don't have any friends here, my overall experience with people weren't that bad, specially considering I don't speak German.\n- Occational racism? sure. But there were good people as well. And I think there are bad people everywhere.\n\nAll though I was mentally at a bad place after a year living in here, what helped me better my mental health was realizing that my worth does not comes from other people, and not everyone needs to me my friend. \n\nTips if you're a newcomer.\n- Realize that people are not cold because you look different, but sometimes its the culture, so do not take it personally.\n- Be polite to other people and don't be apologetic if you can not speak german while taking services, often time speaking in easy english without thinking of grammers helped me making people feel easy to communicate with me.\n- Meeting people would be hard, so rather than trying to make friends everywhere try to join an activity that you actually enjoy, often time you will meet likeminded people that you can build true friendship with.\n- And be respectful to their culture.

I came to germany 5 years ago.\nLearned the language, did an Ausbildung and BELIEVE ME, tried my best to become a part of the society but the society is shut closed COMPLETELY.\nPeople are very unwelcoming and they all stick to their 'own group of people' - not only germans but also immigrants from the middle east.\nThey love catergorizing social status and are deeply condecsending.\nIn addition, it feels like germans don't want people who are eager to climb the ladder and eventually become a higher level employee but they rather want someone who would just stay in the entry level position who would do all the unnecessary repeatitive work that no one wants to do.\nBecause of this tendency, I see a lot of managing level employees who are disgustingly incompetent but are only there just because of what they are (if you know what I mean).\n\nBut again, these are just based on my experience and maybe it's just how it is only in the city I'm living in :).

I'm Canadian, and I would rather enjoy the company of almost any person who's emigrated to Canada over that racist, loud-mouthed woman.

I don't know if you agree with or not but i would love to watch positive and informative video of Bharat (india) rather than geopolitics , comparison between countries, comparison between powers . I would love to watch OG abhi and niyu talking positive about Bharat

Because they would rather import people who will draw welfare and be easier to control, than people who are educated, speak English, work and assimilate

I would rather have Chinese immigrants here at least they keep their yards and homes clean and not into drug trafficking.

I feel that guy from Ukraine. My wife is from Indonesia. She moved to the USA 3 years ago. She works 7 days a week at three jobs, somehow, happily and makes over $62k a year. I did not know that Canada was that hard off. Come down south brother. Cali is paying $20 an hour. I don't like California for my life but I would rather live there then get paid $3.50 for an uber delivery.

Still there are better opportunities in Canada rather staying in India that’s why hundreds and thousands of people are coming to Canada. Yes there are problems in here I completely agree but still I would prefer to live here because in India there is no value of a person and at least in Canada employees are treated like a person not a machine.

Grapes are sour:\n- People opt in for BS courses, and then hope for achieving Luxury. \n- When they are not able to get PR, and their work permits are expriring, They say it was by choice, but the reality is that they would otherwise be deported. \n\nSo yea Mint, keep yourself in your bliss by saying that people are running from a developed country to a developing country. \n\nMost people who are not able to make it, blame the game rather than blaming themselves.

So I understand why Canadians feel they way they do. Especially the ones born and raised here. I'm 31, was born here, and I often feel the same way everyone else does. The only problem that I see is that the issues that are in Canada are also in every other Western country. I'm concerned with the future, but I also know that throughout every generation, there are ups and downs. I'm willing to stick it out. I live outside of Toronto,I love the lack of natural disasters and access to water, and I still feel very safe. Although crime is up, it is nothing compared to the U.S. \n\nI'm actually living quite comfortably. Although my costs have gone up, I have made smart decisions in my life that allow me to live well. I own my own house, don't have car or credit card debt, and I only need to earn 40k a year to cover all of my bills. Every cent extra I earn goes to paying down my mortgage, gym, and golf once a week. \n\nThe question is, is it better l elsewhere? I don't know, but I am trying to be happy with what I have instead of what I could have had by being born 30 years too late. Ultimately, I would rather stay here work within the system to change it and continue to make smart decisions that put me ahead. Starting out all over again makes my stomach sick, and I love this country, despite it's flaws and its government, it has great people and beautiful nature. \n\nBest wishes to all of you other Canadians, and let's make it the Canada we want and deserve again.

If like 80% weren't useless, it wouldn't be a problem. How many foreigners have killed Canadians? How many of them in Tim Hortons or fast food care about the staff and food they serve? They would rather you die of food poisoning than care. No pride, no heart, act like slaves even when given a world of opportunity, and use our system. You're fired! Cya!

Very simple. He would rather let them die than share his wealth!!!!

Need for Labour is a propped up neoliberal idea\n\nHigher birthrate would modulate this problem, but companies would rather have you believe that we need to rely on immigrants as their Labour is cheaper and we don’t need to fund their education as that will happen elsewhere.\n\nThis is not a good thing

STOP MAKING REFUGEES. Stop envisions stop colonizations stop occupations stop NATO from overthrowing governments in the name of your version of democracy. I would rather live in the mountains of Afghanistan or in deserts of Iraq than in any western countries.

Why would they come in the first place? I don't know what is the hype about Germany? I'd rather go to North Korea, at least they say that they are a dictatorship, not like the hidden dictatorship in Germany.
