No benefits for non citizens have been implemented. What are they going to do in America? Live on the streets? They’re going to have to break the law to survive so just keep them out.

Canada shouldn't even give them jobs The jobs should be only for Canadians We did not choose to be born here, they decided to come here so they should figure out what to do and how to live Besides they should support themselves before entering Canada. And the reason why it's hard for a Canadian to find a job is because the managers are Indians and only higher Indians And speak their own language in front of customers It sounds like they're saying party party party.

Many people who protest Fed Gov't policies regarding illegal immigrants live in protected enclaves, and they're unaffected by progressive policies.

I live an hour north of the city you’re lying

How about spending the money you’re giving to the illegal immigrants to the elderly who are the forgotten population. We can’t even get the right help to take care of my in-laws who are both suffering from dementia and we can’t afford to put them in a nursing. Besides the fact, that we don’t care to put there to die. The whole nursing and assisted living facilities are just a money making business. They don’t care to do the right things for the elderly. The agencies advertise that they have qualified people to take care of the elderly when in fact, the people they hire are not qualified. These agencies should be all investigatedz

Ok, i dont know yet how true this is but pleases show all the illegals entering America as well, i am positive it is more that what you see here. We were not called a peaceful nation for nothing, not perfect but we're not as bad as America. I live both America and my home Canada and both nations will come together in brotherly love and unity ❤️

I have been watching you for a long time. And there is always a point you are not addressing in most of what I have heard. You will probably laugh at what I am about to say but please hear me out. The progressives running the policy’s do not only hate America for whatever reason, they hate God. They might not say that and even rebuke anyone who thinks that. I’m not going to get into that, it’s a whole Nother subject, but Jesus said those that hate good or worship being a false Jesus, even though they think they’re worshiping the true God. They are not, and so therefore they are what the Bible says, our worshiping a false God, who is the god of this world who was Satan. Now after saying that I would say that you can see that in their action. Anyone who wants to debate what’s going on in New York City on the side of correcting the problem has a point of view. But the ones that wanna keep these loss in place cannot justify any of their actions in debate that makes sense. They are liars and are following the father of lies and that’s all there is to it. The problem will not be fixed in your city until you having a big turnaround of leadership. People who are accountable to this constituents. People who love this country, not hated. Only a satanic group could hate this country that gives them every opportunity they could ask for. If you asked them, would they want to live in any of the other countries in the world they won’t answer you they will get part from the question and they will call you a miss information White supremacist or if you’re black a uncle Tom. They have an answer for anything good because their father is no other than evil. They get their playbook from evil. They can’t stand to be around any success. And one last thought. Joe Biden was ruled by evil. He opened the border on purpose to destroy this country at the same time. He was making millions from our adversaries. His actions have proven it over and over, but yet he’s not persecuted for the crime he committed. After you have a president that has destroyed America in so many ways. And the people that hate America love him. But he is gone now so they have to fight harder against Trump.\n Don’t have to mention any of the religious stuff in any of your segments, but at least keep that in mind so you have a clear picture and keep up the good work.

Sane New Yorkers must, I say must, unite, rise up and take the strongest stand against their politicians and dim-whit voters! If they're in agreement with this insanity & rebellion then cut this state off from all federal funding and let New Yorkers pay for these illegals all by themselves. I don't want my tax dollars paying for any illegals. Especially when there are so many Americans living on the streets and/or not even getting by with this failed & fraudulent economy the Democrat Party has given us. Democrat voters aren't being kind and compassionate by wanting them here. They are enabling these people and by doing so, preventing them from growing up and raising their consciousness into a higher state of mind. By wanting to protect criminals, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, thieves, violence and rebellion from being deported, they're displaying for America they're psychology/consciousness of a death wish. This is a psychology of death and failure!!! The Democrat politicians and voters didn't vote for President Trump's agenda but the vast majority of We the People most certainly did. Chuck Shumer, Maxine Waters, all Democrat politicians and Democrat voters, YES, WE DID AND WE WON THE BATTLE!!! \n\nThese illegals are not weak and needing help. They're now uniting, protesting and waving their country's flag against their deportation, which they absolutely have no rights in America to do so. They have no rights here!!! That takes gall, audacity showing their rebellion against American voters and an unreality in their third world psychology to believe they do. We have been forced to deal with this abusive, violent third world psychology for far too long. They have a strong willpower so return to their country, unite there, raise their flags there and rebel against their corrupt government! They don't belong here as they don't have America's vibration. They just continue demanding and taking America by violent force. They are using and abusing tax payers' money and their goal of turning America into their violent third world hellishness must stop now! When they want to become part of America, get in line and make application in our legal immigration program. These illegals do not rate higher than those who are coming here legally!!!

So the vast majority if not all of these immigrants are able to find these people smugglers and do business with them to get in the country, but no government and police is able to pin them down and arrest them?\nIs there an explanation to this?\nWhy not realise that these people won't disappear, they're there now. Spend time sorting through those who legitimately want to work and give them a chance and only deport those with bad intentions. They will take the jobs that locals won't do. People are resources...\nThese mass deportations are likely affecting many people which were contributing to the country, while the dangerous ones live underground... Score social media points, but don't solve any problems....

What do they really think they’re gonna do once they get here? We don’t have asylum shelters. You can’t get aid without a social security number. They wanna live in a cardboard box and be sent back in a month so bad ?

Don't you know that all the legal wealthiest people in the world that live in New York City that's having to leave their apartment buildings that costed a millions of dollars and the ones who owned buildings that rent it out and now they're losing their wealthy tenants don't you know that these affluent people hate with everything that hate can hate with they hate the politicians of New York that helped accommodate the lunatic lunacy of open borders they hated that these politicians agreed to have a sanctuary City and put their peace and safety in Jeopardy they hate those politicians and will use their wealthy billions of dollars to make sure they never get reelected again

All the Americans family living on the streets the state isn't helping them, but you're taking care of illegal gangs, murders, ?.

People are just getting paid! What in the world are those protesters doing that could possibly equal up to $2 million dollars? Not a damn thing! Everybody's just pocketing money left and right. And what I find hilarious, these people that are standing outside in protesting they do not live in the same neighborhoods as these migrants do. They're upper middle class fucking people. And if the truth be told, if all of these extremely wealthy leftists were about that life, they could just band together and donate 20 million dollars to house migrants. But they're not going to do that. It's a lot cheaper just to get on X and scream and holler and turn on the camera and cry that it is, to actually put your money where your virtue is

From the forme Native New Yorker living in Miam.I can't even afford a flight to Canada. So you're flying from Mexico to Canada??\nComing to America??\nYou're rich, I know cuz you're staying at luxury hotels. \nLmao ?

Wait if they're already in canada, why dont they stay their, its supposedly a better place to live

Dude, NY Gov/legislation is literally helping invade the U.S.A, nah bro.\nThe tolerance for that should be at the ground floor. Actually under the ground floor.\nI would ignore local progressives, they live in a fantasy land anyway. Keep doing what you're doing\nICE, keeping the country and its communities safe.

Hey Tyler- you feel safe because you’re a white male. Saying “you can pick and choose where you live and be in a safer town” isn’t true for all Americans let alone foreigners and new comers. School shootings happen more than once a month… and saying it’s easy to move (when you’re not white) isn’t true. as a woman I’d have no right to my own body. and of course I may be discriminated against at work and not get promoted because it’s the old boys’ club from Ivy league schools. The guns.

You're an amazing role model.\nRepublicans need to stop perpetuating, false narratives. You were elected to focus on issues that improve the lives of American people.\nThank you for your service.

Maybe consider blaming the people who were given an easier way in (through the CBP1 app) to America who’ve committed heinous crimes in this country.\n\nThose who’ve committed crimes made the prospects of coming into America worse for those who want to come in quietly, live under the radar and make a better life for themselves. America is not supposed to be a place you can enter in and just break the law (especially taking lives. )The crimes committed by those not screened, who come into this country create an uptick in crime for America. As much as part of our country hates it, something has to be done about it. As with anything, your child does something they’re not supposed to you’re going to correct the situation by rules/laws. Especially when things get out of hand.\n\nAlso consider blaming the recent government for not adding a vetting process into the CBP1 app system, which has created a mess. And they should have made that CBP1 app public for everyone to know about. So those entering the proper way could have used it so they could enter this country easier and faster.

I like Firstpost because she usually says it like it is. But this time she’s way too biased and went straight to play victim. Doesn’t she know how in places like Australia and Canada thousands of Indian people on temporary visas have taken to the streets to protest that these countries want to “deport” them when their visas are expired and they decided to overstay their welcome? Also, Indians used to be pretty quiet and kept to themselves… At least where I live! But lately they’re more and more unruly, and act like they own the place. A good dose of self-awareness wouldn’t hurt her.

These people will sprint, go through barriers and fight law enforcement just to turn around and complain that they’re being targeted and are being treated unfairly. All of these people and anyone who supports them needs a serious reality check because you’re living in lala land.

They’re wild animals who ? in the streets.\nThe US doesn’t need them, and we sure as ? don’t want them. Live and work in your own damn country!

The commentary here sounds so much like U.S. citizens griping, it's almost funny, but also sad. Maybe Trump the ignoramus is right... do Canadians really want to give up and just become part of the USA? I doubt it, but if you're in any doubt as to where to live, don't try just south of you. It's got all the problems you mention and then some. And of course it's still a great country; I was born here and live here happily. But I've also been to Canada four times since the 1980's, and each time I am just wowed by the many ways in which Canada seems ahead of the USA. The grass truly is greener on the other side of the fence... just be aware of what you have, and that you have an amazing country, too. Griping is now epidemic in the United States... it doesn't lead anywhere good, and it accomplishes nothing.

Why are they crying? How about being deported from your own country by people that never lived there. Deported to place they never seen, didn't know the language but too sure of their customs, made to work wage free, and be told you're not wanted there. And they complain today about going to a country they know too much about, speaks the language, can choose to work or not, a ride there without chains. And they cry about going back. Sorry but not sorry.

They’re running for their lives\nThey’re running from poverty\nWill be running towards them \nBecause our countries doing the same thing

Well, well… they came to the U.S. seeking asylum, claiming their lives were in danger. Now they’re turning to the Indian government, crying that they were scammed, lost all their money, and are victims of fraud. Imagine a country being built on a foundation of citizens like them and what they can offer to any nation !

We have way too many here it's creating resentment. It'd be like living in India but literally every place you went all u see is white ppl speaking English and not respecting Indians culture. After years of seeing your quality of life and services decline you'd get upset too. If u had kids that can't even find a summer job because they're all taken by foreigners or can't find an apartment to live in then that's where problems start. Imagine getting hurt but your wait to see a doctor is 12 hours because 100 east Indians are there at the ER slowing things down because they can't even speak our language. Poor Canadians are now fighting with Indians at food banks it's gotten so bad. We just have too many, if you're reading this in Indian please dont come to Canada

Misleading people about where they're going (detention camp vs flight) is just wrong. They should at least have an opportunity to make final arrangements before departing, like make sure to pass their belongings to friends/family and also notify someone to pick them up at the airport. \n\nThat said, if you live here illegally, you should've seen what's happening and who's coming for you. You could've self-deported and taken a comfortable commercial flight on your own terms.

It’s very very sad how they treated … because they all are went for hard work without any benefit… and to see one day they dreams come true… and they’re all middle class poor families… must be so much suffered all the way to USA and deported ??… \nAnd i hope in our Bharat too many … illegally living and destroyi too many things they are deport too… so our people have jobs and benefits too… ?

Trump dgas. His job is to head ‘em up, and move ‘em out. I thought was crystal clear in Nov. As long as we ain’t roughing them up, idc how we get them out of here. They’re supposed to be mostly all criminals first anyway. They’re probably all in jail in India now. \nAnd if you live in a world where you welcome this invasion, then Fed aid may be a problem obtaining.

I’m Indian. Let me tell you all these Indians voted for Trump and now they’re surprised about the outcome. Are they living in a dreamworld??

Who cares they entered the country illegally lived off of taxpayers money freely got everything they wanted and then they go protesting with the palestine's they committed a criminal offense by just being in the country illegally criminal is a criminal you're lucky that they sent you back to where you came from Trump could have done much worse and then you complain that your hands and feet were shackled in handcuffed and that you couldn't wash well well is that not a part of your religion anyways only bathed maybe once every couple of weeks circle screen for justice non-fair in your own country could you answer hours illegally you took from us you breathe our air and lift amongst us in our houses all freely so you stole from the country and its people think about that while you're complaining what you did wrong

Remember when Trump first said he was going to build the wall? I'm not American and I don't live in America. But from what I can see from the comments, you're kind of happy about that wall?

BULL THE US IS A VERY TOXIC PLACE TO LIVE. FOLKS, SHOULD BE HAPPY THEY'RE GETTING FREE FLIGHT ✈️ \nBLESSINGS IN DISGUISE.

You’re wrong. We’re not talking in “too many immigrants” 90% for 9 years are migrants from India ??. India India India ?? that’s who all us other Canadians are forced to live with. At least 3 million of the 7 million Indians are frauds and scammers. This is what RUINED Canada. Millions of Indians, uneducated, unskilled, dirty backwards people. Now we have 3 Indian festivals in Toronto, 2 Hindu parades on Yonge street, Diwali etc. This isn’t Canada this is Hindu Sikh India ??

People keep saying it’s racist and anti immigrant but as a former expat, you’re out of touch with reality if you think Americans can stay somewhere illegally or can overstay our visas and just live in the host country. Please, they would have been at my door the same day it expired. Idc where you’re from if you’re here illegally you need to go. Like it’s absurd that this is even an argument. Why are Americans so soft hearted on this issue? More of us need to live in other countries to see how other places handle it because it is definitely not similar.

I’m sorry that they can’t make a living in their own country but when you come into my country. Without promotion. Then you’re braking the law.

This is the lies the democrats were telling ppl these illegal immigrants that have came here in the last four years Biden/Harris and Mayorkas were flying them to big cities and have been living on taxpayers dime the whole time. Free food, money, health care, phone, and housing while we have veterans living in the streets and the media lied for them but it's all going to come out even though alot of people were shouting it from the rooftops but no one would listen and the media wouldn't cover the treason that was taking place. Shame on the democrats and media. Now they're protesting waving the flag of their countries and stomping on our flag what hypocrites if their country was so great why are they here go back home you backstabbing hypocrites.

I've been surviving on side jobs . I can't get a factory job because their full of immigrants. I've been homeless for almost a decade now. I won't get food stamps or medicaid. They'll give whole live's to single mother's and immigrants. Money, car,housing, insurance's. We're living in the upside down. Let's go Trump.

Lets keep i real. The desire that most immigrants have is homeostasis which is the familiar. All humans do this. Individually indians are usually smart and decent people. But in groups ( and this doesnt just include indians) you get this group thinking that is prejudice against anyone who isnt one of their own. Im fairly certain its a good demonstration of what a different culture would experience in their own country. This is especially noticeable in markem with the Chinese population. \n\nLet me say this loud and clear. We didnt let you come here so you could start your own countries inside of our country. And beleive me, your gunna get rocked and put in your place if you guys keep coming here and being disrespectful. That goes for the any culture who is putting themselves first at the expense of other Canadians, and im not talking about white canadians im talking about all Canadians from anywhere. We re all equal and you will not be allowed to position your selves in a way that gives you immunity to these values. \n\nIm getting really tired of going into business like tim hortons and knowing what the nationality of the owner is by just looking around at the staff who work in fhe business. We let you have a seat at our table to break bread with us in a mutually benifital relationship. But what is pretty evident is that a lot of these people dont like us and if it was up to them we wouldnt exist. They fail to behave in a way that acknowledges the truth. That the family whos heritage is of this land, built this house that your living in. With our low corruption goverments , our clean drinking water, our free health care and education system, with our opportunities that make it possible through merit and hard work that it doesnt matter what family or where you were born. These are attractive features of canada that play a role in why people want to come here. And leave where they were. Its it logical to think that you have more to learn about us then we do of you? Not being on some selfish punk shit is canadas greatest strength. Its that same inclusives mentality that keep the government corruption very small which empowers the citizens to make them successful and able to contribute more back into this system. The very nature of hoarding resources for ones family, same culture, etc are the same oppressive situations many of these people left their countries to seek better opportunities. But once given those opportunities and a chance to decide for themselves, a lot of these people use their liberties to create exclusion and hostility toward out groups. The indians do this in a very overt in your face way, the chinese are more polite about it but both have this way of looking out for their own and not being concerned with anyone else. As far as im conerned you should all be split up and dispersered to live in different provinces and cites. I know this isnt realitic but it would save them from what a lot of them are gunna end up be exposed to which is experiences with native born Canadians who are going to very rudly show you what happens when you disrespectf someone in their own home. \n\nThe party is over. You people need to start being Canadian and care about Canadians like you care about your own culture or get the fuck out!

Canada needs the US more than the US needs Canada. Canada lives rent free under the protection of the US. Canada wants to tariff the US go ahead. The US has vast amounts of timber, coal, oil, beer, cheese ,bacon and strip clubs. We're good Canada.

And I'm sure with some people coming across the border. There may be a sense of entitlement, but I would think for the majority, it's a sense of hope.\n I wish we could embrace every person. That is good coming across that border with open arms and tell them Hey, it's gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay for you and your family. But unfortunately we can't. It's a hard pill to swallow and it's a final thing to watch. People have to struggle that world is a very cruel place for some. And for others it could be very easy in a sense. I think sometimes we have to have empathy for other people. And if we don't have that we're never gonna grow as a human race. Color should never, ever be a barrier. Language should never be a barrier. The only barrier that we have is hatred and just evil people and good. That is, the barrier that we should be looking at if we ever want to grow into what God created us to be eyes need to be opened. These people aren't coming over here and take what we have. You're coming over here because they want something better for their lives. They have struggled most other lives. I'm sure they have seen death. Famine pestilence, things that we have never seen in this country. Our generation.\n S are spoiled when it comes to things like that. We have to open our eyes a little further broaden. Our horizons and take a look at the situation at hand and not be objective. Be like the men of old and what they were put on this Earth to do is solve problems. That's what men are good for solving problems. And that's what the men of this manner should solve the problems. Use your heads think we can find a solution.

You're going to come here thinking we have golden roads and we don't. You'll end up living in gang infested neighborhoods, broke and now without the support of your family. Stay home. \nIt's not that great here.

Because greed, power and money has made Venezuelan try to escape want America has done to their country. They’re over 500 American companies. America pays. $325 billion for oil products. Americans have invaded that country for profit. They just showed you what happens with power, greed, and money as their weapons!. As Americans, we must Unite as 1! Drop, your weapons of hate and ban together to take control of the dynamics that we live in! Or we can become and will spiral as next third world country!\n\n9.3 million Venezuelans are moderately to severely food insecure – one-third of the population. According to the United Nations, 7 million Venezuelans urgently need humanitarian assistance. More than 5.4 million Venezuelans have fled the country.

Better carry your paperwork on you if you have dark skin before name, you might find yourself being rounded up. One man was already picked up at a restaurant at work. He had a green card legally allowed to be here. Didn’t stop them from dragging away think about being held for 8 to 12 hours Being legally allowed to be here or being an American citizen and your family not knowing where you’re at the last time Donald Trump was in office. American citizens were deported south of the border and two were shot in the living room. One gentleman was deported an American citizen who had diabetes. They deported him yet no medication on him no money to country. He didn’t know he died on the streets. Please stop thinking it can’t happen to you Donald Trump right now is rounding up American Indians Navajo and Saint American citizens it’s time to call your son your senators your governors. It’s time to speak out. Stop standing there, thinking it won’t happen to you.

Go ram your government you’re too scared and too sorry do what we did stay in your own country. Do some about them people where you live at if y’all can ram the border, y’all can get them together in your country. I don’t understand what’s the problem we got killed and everything else but we stood fast try it and see what happened. Maybe you can change some stuff in Mexico.

Sad these people won't stand together and fight their own government for better living conditions. But I also understand that they're mostly unarmed to do so. \nTHANK GOD FOR OUR SECOND AMENDMENT!

Just imagine the time and money that has gone into training all these service people. And, you're going to cut them loose. Shows just how juvenile Trump is. You would think he wouldn't care who's risking their lives as long as it's not him.

What's truly alarming about this executive order is the lack of pretense. Anti-trans laws have usually carried a faux language of concern for transgender people but now it's straight to dehumanisation. Being kicked out of the military is a minor concern now. Trans people in America should be focusing on arming themselves and drills to protect themselves from state violence. If you doubt the state is not aiming to kill us you're living in a fantasy world.

I’m from Vancouver bc and it upsets me that this site keeps saying oh we need skilled workers not labourers I’m a skilled worker born and bred in bc 10 years experience painter can’t get a job unless I get 10$ less per hour than 2014 and carpentry same thing. The employers want only Indian and Mexican workers because there cheap. This Friday I’m going homeless with my dog because I can’t find work or affordable housing. Government saying we need skilled workers is a scam they want cheap workers no sense of safety or Canadian culture. How did the government let this happen we’re fucked also how did wages not go up when cost of living doubled I don’t care about being able to buy a 1.5 million dollar house but the locals should be able to get by
