TRUMP ❤?? AMERICAN’S Come first above everyone PERIOD . Trump done more in a week then Biden did in four years

And Columbias president has now offered to come pick them up. \nGreat to have a president that puts America first again.

Columbia sent all their criminals to America in the first place. And now they’re talking about human rights for their criminals coming home.?

The criminals because I cannot understand how you can come in somebody house on the man that I have to stay there you do not know them they don't have passports you do not know who they are but they want they don't have a dollar in their pocket you have to give them food taxpayers you have to give them housing how the Man full Venezuela have oil to fight the prime minister of Venezuela and take over somebody rule the country fix all your own country first

This is sad but it's necessary! We have to help our own first! If they want to come to America they need to go through the process to become Americans!

Lol no one can just get green cards even before landing in the US you either have to cross the border, or come in using some kind of student visa, or come in using some kind of employment visa which is almost impossible because no employer will hire you if you are not eligible to work in thw US in thw first place

I don't know, I really feel sorry for the people, at first they let everyone in!!! A new government comes and kicks everyone out, changes the laws... mocks people, I think it's wrong!

19.9 million more to go .. come here Legally and with a trade .. if you can't support yourself or you're family don't come .. America First .. TRUMP 2025 FREEDOM !! STRENGTH !! PROSPERITY!!

They think they are entitled to free money, housing etc you never paid a dime into the system .Donald Trump will stop this big time .I'm british and sadly still live in the uk voting trump into power was a very smart move by the American people .America first American people first if your foreign and don't like it get out and don't come back I so wish we could do this in the uk.if reform get in in 2029 we will god willing

Just because you want to come to America doesn't mean you get to. It is a privilege not a right. You must be able to support yourself and your family and not be a burden to Americans. We can't save the whole world. We need to take care of our elderly, homeless and veterans first.

My heart does go out to those who do truly seek a safer and better life for themselves and their families. But they have to turn to God instead of alternative religions to heal their land. This is our country, we have fought and given our lives for it. Its time to put Americans first. I pray they stand before their own government for reform. Turn to God for it and for protection. Its the only way. Come back legally. Wait your turn. ????✝️????

Enough is enough. The Canadiens should come first.

Enough is enough. The Canadiens should come first.

It just goes to show they shouldn’t be here illegally. Why would we want criminals here when we already are dealing with our own issues in the US. Why the violence towards the US officers on the border if they’re fleeing their country why behave like this they just wanted the free handouts at Americans expense. I don’t know how the government thought this was OK to have all the people come over here illegally and pay for everything when there are homeless veterans and children that are US citizens. Take care of home first.

The news here makes it sound bad that this is happening but the truly bad thing was allowing them to enter our country in an illegal manor in the first place AND THEN giving them hefty government aid that comes out of the pockets of those of us who pay taxes.

I feel you guys, but we got men and women that fought for this country, they come first.

This is addressed mainly to the ugly Indian: My generation came to the racist west and built a golden reputation. We worked hard, assimilated, paid our taxes, and obeyed the laws. We were humble. We celebrated our native cultures within the confines of our communities. While it was frustrating to be invisible in white culture, we never sought to conquer them with our culture. We were ethical to the hilt. Our generations were poor -- yet we struggled to help others in India and in the west. We were NEVER on the dole. Personally I think it is rude to enter a nation (in the west or anywhere in the world) with naked opportunism. Speaking for myself -- despite neocolonialism, I admired western civilization, especially its older forms. \n \nBut the ugly Indian who comes now is loud, brash, socially irresponsible, exploitative, money-hungry, opportunistic, and arrogant beyond belief (full of the hubris that comes from sudden new wealth). They look down on us who have been here a while. They are used to a servant-culture and look down on white working class people, as if they are servants. As for second generation Indians in the west, they can be racist towards us first generations. But the opposite is true as well. Indian newcomers see them as an alien species. Indians do tend to hire their own and stick to their own identities -- I do not mean the Indian identity, but their native state identities. All this feeds into the primary and secondary forms of western racism that are already simmering beneath the surface. This new genre of Indians is destroying the goodwill we have built. I have personally witnessed arrogant young Indian students cutting the line to reach the front desk. No manners, no ethics. As a first generation Indian immigrant I get annoyed. So why shouldn't native born westerners (who are already racist)? \n \nBut to complain about how they smell is rude beyond belief. This must stop.

How come these are allowed in first instance? Must be deported to Bharat immediately.

Amen, our country is not an all you can eat buffet for anyone to come here and do whatever they want. Our country our families first. We voted for this

Americans first. Come here legally. They were used by the democrats for votes.

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

Canadians should always come first!!!!

Americans want legal ways to citizenship to be improved but we cannot accept mass, unregulated immigration. It is not sustainable. Both parties can agree on that but we can’t agree on how to fix it. The issue is that there are too many people coming and it’s overwhelming our system. It’s sad to see people upset but we have to put our own country’s interests first.

Immigrant families who are here should probably have conversations with their children about the possibility of being deported together and what that could look like; now is the time to have a plan, not the time to sit and wonder and wait for the inevitable. Its the responsibility of the adults in the families to have thought of all scenarios prior to relocating their minors and putting minors at risk of rape, assault, trafficking, and orphanhood. While I am praying for these individuals and have great compassion for them, the priority needs to be those who are paying thousands and waiting years to come in legally. Fair is fair. America and Americans first.

First you get approval and then travel. You can’t just go to the border and wait, and when declined be frustrated. When I moved here in 2004, I had 2 years before process was finalized and approved. And only then I was able to come to the country through a legal process. It has to be done right.

Seriously? Americans come first. And the asylum process ain't clear? It's the process politically persecuted individuals used to use. And many of them crossed multiple countries on the way to USA why don't they stop and reside there?

U keep a knockin’ but u can’t come in!!! American’s FIRST! ??

you are forgetting the real why the visa is rejected is when they they don't come back. trying their best to stay illegally. please mention that first. the same way India does not allow illegal foreigners. Indians go on a visit visa and never come back. what is your answers now.

First of all why there is craziness to visit abroad. Let western nations come and beg for indian visas. We have everything in our mother land. Ofcourse, we have our own problems like traffic and pollution,etc but every other nation has their own set of problems as well. IT is the root cause for this problem time and again. Getting Onsite opportunity, becoming PR and finally settling there as citizen and paying tax to that country. It may sound cliche but East or west, india is the best

they should not be working in the first place. you come to study then study and go home.

Indians are also responsible . Bad visa form filling. \nTraveling abroad to work on tourist visa. Escaping into illegal permanent stay into Europe . But yes, Indian passport should be the top 20 but it isn’t because our house isn’t in place. Basically we’re mostly good people but uncivilised , undisciplined , not all but many. Get India orderly first, clean, green, pollution free, corruption free… and if they still do the same it’s because we want to go there more then they wish to come here. Do something that makes them come here. Top quality cheap tourism, food quality, pollution free, reduce population, increase the female population , give equal rights to woman, judicial system in India sucks, court cases should be fast tracked, law should be simple direst and effective. So much for us to do, money is not the only thing that makes us get quality living. Only the rich get all this stuff…

If you ask a white person- what is the first thing that comes to mind with the word Indian. \nAnswer - STREET POOPING, INDIAN SCAM CENTERS, SMELLY PEOPLE, ARROGANT PEOPLE. These are obviously not true of every indian. \n\nI am a brown person. These stereo types are true here in the US.

First, let’s admit the truth—why do Indians rush to Western countries? Not because they’re just “visiting.” They’re chasing jobs or education. And guess what? They don’t reject those wealthy Indian passports when it’s time to leave! ? Many Indians dream of a Western lifestyle, but here comes the plot twist: the current Indian government is playing a double game, crushing those dreams like an overripe mango. ?\n\nNow, poor Palki is out here screaming about Western policies, but honestly, it’s all noise with no sense. The Western world doesn’t revolve around India, sorry, baby. ?✨ Check your foreign policy before making grand speeches—it’s giving “wannabe boss energy.” ?

Why do you want to come to other countries in the first place yall always say india is superpower

We need to learn etiquettes, personal hygiene and common decency in order for being human first. Visas will come later.

Sorry I’m Hispanic born and raised in the us yall running away from Mexico is not fair to us try to come the right way but understand this we are putting are people first and it’s time America gets back to what it was instead of leaving Mexico why don’t y’all make a change obviously y’all leaders are weak and cowardly the only way is if we help y’all take out all the cartels and make y’all a state

We must not tell others wheather to accept our visa or not. It's their home,their turf, their rules ,their call. And many are pointing out in the comments about our behaviour. If that's true (and it must be based on our behaviour in our own country) we need to fix that first... Let's not become Karens. Lets come out of the cuccoon of misunderstanding that we all are innocents and are welcome everywhere!!

First of all . I am an Indian living in Australia. \n1. The way some of us are behaving in these countries is the worst . Instead of respecting their culture and laws, we start behaving in the same way as in India .\n2. I don't want to put it out, but some people from certain places have a ready solution even if the immigration change their rules . They know every means to cheat their way in. \n3. Take, for example, 200 people come from other countries and do nonsense in India. Will we allow them ? Noooo, right ... but right now, thousands of our Indians are damaging other countries, bringing all kinds of dirty activities we do in India .Unnecessary protests are just 0.1% of them\n\nThis is the best decision taken by the other countries and it should become more strict in the coming days

Ma'am, when a country makes it harder for citizens of a particular country to enter their country, it is often because of the number of recorded incidents, crime from people from said country. If there is a higher rate compared to people from other countries, then it becomes harder. Let's be honest here... Indians don't have a good reputation abroad when it comes to such things... I'm half Nigerians and at least many Nigerians acknowledge why lately, it is harder for Nigerians to get a visa (Obv crime as well.) Has nothing to do with discrimination. Also, look at the state of Canada. Nigeria and India need to focus on bettering their citizens so that less people go abroad, which also reduces the chance of certain people doing crime, to avoid making it harder for honest people from the same country to get a visa. Better the countries so that more countries open up for Indians, making the ranking go up. \n\nLastly, the passport index website shows India at 65, not 85. Why lie about that to fit your narrative? The passport index website is literally the first result that shows up on Google too... Not everything is about discrimination...

I live in Canada. A citizen now, love this country but India is and will always be a home. Canada is facing hard times currently, which is being faced by every country now and then but even the cause root of all these problems Canada is facing right now is coming from somehow from India. The most disruptive and disturbing people are here from India only with no civic sense. They come here and do not value the Canadian culture at all. They do all sort of illegal activities and try to do jugaad in everything, from which we escaped from India. Even on political grounds, the man who somehow messed up everything was under the influence and pressure of the man having Indian roots. I love India without a doubt but we can’t deny the real facts why Indians are being hated everywhere. People in my community here ( whites, First Nations, old Indians) love me and my family because they know how we respect the culture and values and laws of Canada. But there, where people don’t know us personally, we get judgemental eyes because of our colour and we know why, it’s not all of us, but still majority of us have destroyed the image of India and yes Indians deserve to be banned now. We need skills and knowledge and we should class apart from the stupid ones.

No because first you need to wait for Tuesday wait for next day and that's why you need to wait for the law to come real are the government have to vote go to hell

Indians are often very dishonest! We have 1,000,000 Indians here who obtained a visa but then never went back home when their visa expired. They are here illegally and working here illegally. An Indian merchant at a convenience store tried to steal a winning lottery ticket from me a few days ago! Several Indians have gone to prison for stealing lottery tickets from customers including HUGE Multi $Million Dollar WINNERS! \n\nI have had Indian immigrants be rude to me even though I was born in Washington DC and my ancestors have lived here for centuries! \n\nWe are having to actually pass laws here to prevent Indians from discriminating agains their fellow Indians in work and housing due to them being Dalits, or ‘Untouchables’ which proves that Indians coming here have no interest whatsoever in democracy and equality. Indians are coming here solely for economic reasons. They are having babies here to take advantage of, abusing, our birthright citizenship law. \n\nOver 700,000,000 Indians don.t even have access to a toilet and yet your government is spending many $Billions on aircraft carriers and a massive military buildup. Get your priorities straight, build safe toilets first for your people! Indians need to remain in India and Make India Great Again!

Students with expired visas should go back. But what is Canadian culture? Is it found in Quebec? Alberta? Or the Reserves? What is it exactly? Do Canadian Immigration documents require applicants to sign they will convert their religion or culture after coming here? If you would change your culture upon entering another country, good for you but you have no right to expect that kind of inauthenticity from other people. If someone changes who they are and their culture upon entering another country then they are not as real as they portray. These are the type of two faced people that can also switch sides to help your enemies if given the chance to. And the truth is no matter how much people 'assimilate' here, people with even an ounce of racism and colonialist ghosts in their head will always first see the color of their skin. I worked at a Polish Grocery store and came across a man who's lived here for 30 years and spoke 10 words of English. All they speak at that store is Polish. I loved working there but I don't see anyone making a video about European immigrants retaining their culture.

So entitled...going to a country they're not citizens or permanent residents of and making demands. A country that's much more desirable than the one they come from and that did them a favour letting them in in the first place. They're not entitled to residency.

Thank God for our Us Border patrol and thank God for Trump. I don’t understand why these people don’t fight this hard to change their own government. Everyone wants to come here and get a free ride off of the taxes that we pay. What about our homeless and hungry,they should be taken care of first!!!!! I have a heart, but do it the right now. God watch over our country,we need you Lord to stop this madness?

Universities are making money from these students but no more til Canadians come first

No one asked them to come here in the first place. they are a drain on our systems. I can't believe how much they breed!!!

U.S. citizens come first\nThey are illegal immigrants, not immigrants. Why should our taxes go to them?

As a former immigrant who has been a Canadian citizen for over 40 years I am mindful that too many immigrants get into the country too easily - not like in my time when I had to actually qualify to come here. We, the older generation (including immigrants), helped to build Canada, but the newcomers just come here to take what they can. There are too many new immigrants who should not be here in the first place, and they have no intention of assimilating. What a mess!\nI have to ask you a question, though. What if the high influx was from Sweden or Germany? Would you still be that interested in the story?

I'm not against immigration. But time has come to bring the house in order first. Stop all types of immigration for next five years & streamline things in Canada.
