I have ethnic background from Hong Kong and have been living in Canada for almost 40 years. I love Canada and am proud of this beautiful country. However, I think part of the immigration problem we have is the ongoing issue of allowing dual citizenship of everyone who have become a Canadian citizen. I have personally known lots of HK immigrants who would return to their own countries to work as soon as they have got their Canadian passports. Normally one of the parents would stay with their children here for free schooling, medical care and child tax benefits. Their children will follow their parents to go back to HK after they graduated from universities in order to avoid the higher income tax . Unfortunately, those parents will come back to retire in Canada so that they can get free health care benefits and OAS once they have fulfilled the residency requirement of 10 years. Canada do need more skilled and educated immigrants to make our country more prosperous but not those who try to take advantage of our lenient immigration policies. I think we should take back the passports of those who have left Canada for more than 2 years or those who have evaded taxes so that we do not continue to support those never contributed to our country. PS, I mentioned about HK only because of my origin and I believe the same problem would be caused by immigrants from other countries too.

Everyone needs to leave Canada this is nothing but a failed state going straight down the toilet

I dont think there are enogh doctors ir hospitals to cover everyone in the US. I dont think the system could handle it if anyone coild go. They woild need more hospitals and staff to cover all the people that would go if it's free. Sadly many would put off going to save money until its too late. That is the worst aspect if a co pay

Polymarket available to bet on her getting deported because she has that accent? When they round everyone up you think mistakes are going to be made ma'am?

Why does anyone have to take Palestinian refuges? Israel needs to go find their own place to live far away from everyone else.

Due to Turdo and his cronies EVERYONE wants to leave. A once beautiful country going to ?!!!

NO MORE FREE ANYTHING! GO BACK HOME AND TRY COMING HERE THE LEGAL WAY!!! No more free money, debit cards, licences, healthcare, housing. You want to come here legally & struggle like everyone else that's fine. The American dream is no longer being given away for doing things illegally. Work for it like everyone else. Just know this. The American dream is dead for Americans. Go back home and protest the bullshit in your own country and try to make a change there.

Trump will fail at this endeavor like he failed at all his businesses. Supporting him is like letting your dog drive you to the airport. It is impossible to round up that many people in the time he has allotted. He won’t do it, and you suckers will still blame Biden. Everyone likes to blame immigrants for what is going on in society. I am poor. Must be the landscaper’s fault. I still living with my parents. Must be that Mexican’s fault. Wake up!\n\nWatch a few sobering realistic videos by Richard Wolff and perhaps you might realize that illegal immigrants are the least of our problems.

Bit of a side note, but Latin American birth rates have dipped so low in recent years (Mexico's is now lower than that of the US), that long-term migration from Latin America will probably decrease, because young adults are the prime migrators. This is especially true given Venezuela and El Salvador will probably shrink as source countries (Venezuela because it literally had so much emigration already, that everyone who would leave, has left, El Salvador because of the recent improvements in its security situation). I'd also expect to see some Latin Americans head for Guyana instead given its oil boom. \n\nFor context, it's not actually out of the realm of current UN projections that Latin America and the Caribbean as a whole will go from having about 2x the population of the US at the moment, to it being about 1:1 by the end of the century. \n\nThat said, this could also all be counter-acted by the economic hardship aging populations in the region would bring.

TLDR, I love yall but the time is now to stop pretending that Trump is constrained by what is legal. The Supreme Court and him owning the legislative can make whatever he wants legal within a week. And he obviously isn’t going to be deporting people, only the lucky ones will be deported. Everyone else is going into militarized camps, one might call them concentration camps.

She better watch out. Trump is going to revoke all green cards and send everyone back to their country of origin.

I see lots of comments bashing these folks and I get it, sort of. Trump won by a landslide, and most of his supporters want mass deportation. I find that ironic insomuch as everyone here, other than Native Americans, are or are descendants of immigrants. Did they all come here legally? And for those whose ancestors did, how much easier was it way back then. Plenty of hypocrisy to go around.

Ohhh if it was her own child I’m sure she wouldn’t be saying that’s ok.., there are many like her out there. They get those papers and they think they work for the White House. If she would’ve visited Mexico and had a kid while visiting and didn’t have the money for a green card it would have been a completely different situation. For those just because you got your papers do you not think that there are people that came here as infants or kids to immigrant parents that came to work to provide for their kids it’s not that easy to get your green card it cost thousands of dollars. Many immigrants that I know and worked with including myself, I came here as a refugee. Immigrants are the hardest working people I know. Unfortunately a lot of the ones that came here as kids grew up in some neighborhoods that are not so great and mainly are kids that were born here that are in gangs or doing drugs or violent so don’t blame immigrants saying they bring all this with them it was already here … drugs gangs violence was already here. Gangs started in the White House with their red and blues. Then they say they are taking all the jobs.. the jobs have always been here but people that are citizens are too lazy to go get jobs or keep jobs ( not all citizens) but the ones that are complaining immigrants usually come from villages without any media or drugs or gangs ect. They simply come here for better opportunities or for jobs. They come to work not to freakin take your jobs… this country everyone is a damn immigrant this country was taken from the natives taken with violence by killing them , rapi!’ Them. And people sit here and say we are here to take back our country… ohhh please stfu!!!!! \nMajority of crimes were committed by our Americans but they look for immigrants and pin their crimes on them… Donald Duck is a damn immigrant he needs to stfu and go to sleep with his pu&@@@ grabbing tiny hands… shame on anyone that supports deportation..

How it different from what british did in the past to convert everyone to Christianity. I will respect other culture and religion but not going to change my culture. So i hope It's better people mind it's own business.

They can practice their religion and traditions like anyone else. But, when you are welcomed into our country and you start wanting to raise your flag, stop us from celebrating Christmas and do U-turns everywhere you go in your car because that's what you verbally say is acceptable in your country, it becomes ridiculous and people are not responding well to any of of it. Then screaming racism and that your just being discriminated because of the color of your skin to get get suppress the situation and get what you want is absurd, while being smug in born and raised Canadians faces. \n\nI find it funny that I have yet to meet a new immigrant that has come to Canada and they all claim to have been born here. It's really ignorant to lie to a persons face and to think that we don't know that your doing it. I hardly see the Canadian flag raised anymore and see everyone else's flag raised. Yet, most would not allow any of us to go and raise out flag in their country. wth.

We have the senate! We have the house! We want everyone that is illegal gone. Arrest any business owner who has illegals working for him. And people remember this waste of a reporter she needs to go to.

Something trump supporters and everyone needs to understand is that there is NO application to just apply and come here legally! That’s why her family has been here for 20 something years. Only people that can “apply” are asylum seekers. Anyone from any other country there is no such application. There would only be an “application” is there was an immigration reform that would allow people that want to come or have been here to apply. There has not been immigration reform/amnesty in decades. \n\nI urge everyone to YouTube or go on the uscis website and find this so called application. The only way is either 1. You were born somewhere else and your parents are citizens 2. Enlist in US military 4. Marriage with a us citizen. So it’s not as easy as just applying, if it was there wouldn’t be so much illegal immigration. \n\nNo excusing or saying it’s okay to come illegally, just saying the reason people do it that way is because there hasn’t been and there currently is no process to do it legally.

This is going to be a big, expensive mess. Just you watch and see what a shitshow this is going to be. If trump hadnt told congress to disapprove of the border deal that biden wrote the border could have been closed over a yr ago. But no trump wanted credit for closing the border regardless of how many more just kept coming. I guess everyone thought deportation of millions of illegals was going to be free. So plan on new taxes.\nWhat happened to trumps big plan to get mexico build the wall when he was president the first time. Hes all talk with no sensible action. \nHes a disgrace to our country.

Mr. Rou is a product of extreme blessings from his loved ones, an action taker with faith n expected the outcomes to work out for him, and an indefeasible Go getter spirit n soul.\nThis is called living the life in a fast lane. Everyone should live their lives to the fullest like him..

Everyone stayed silent on his lies about Kamala and the border and about crime by immigrants. Now politicians are going to start speaking up? You’re watching the eroding of our Constitution.

Yes but as you said you're into nature. Not everyone is so at least in the U.S. for example, there's plenty of nature but there's also plenty of exciting places to go otherwise. NYC, LA, Vegas, Chicago, Miami etc etc. Canada has nothing like those cities.

I am a third (if not more) generation Ontario resident. I’m almost thirty and I have little to show for it. No, I haven’t always made the best decisions, but even friends of mine who have are in no better shape. You can have one thing in life; choose kids, career, or house. You cannot have it all without running yourself into the ground. As much as I don’t want to leave everyone I know, I can see no desirable future here. It will be more of the same; work and go home to dream. I don’t plan on leaving the country, but I’ve just about resigned myself to the reality that I can’t stay here.

I hear this story from immigrants here in the Netherlands as well. They had to go to a difficult period to get citizenship in the Netherlands, and so must everyone else. The pure selfishness of it all. ??

SUCH D--B A--ES!! WTF SHE HAS A MENTAL F'N PROBLEM. SHE DRANK THE KOOLAID AND SHE'S GOING TO BE SHOCKED WHEN HE THROWS HER ASS AND OTHER MEXICANS IN THE SAME TRASH BARREL HE'S PLANNING ON THROWING EVERYONE ELSE IN. TRUMP CANNOT STAND HISPANICS, BLACKS, ASIANS, ETC. HE'S EVIL AND DOES NOT CARE FOR ANYONE THAT CAN'T SERVE HIS PURPOSES. LOOK FOR IT YOU FOOLISH WOMAN HE'S COMING FOR YOU. I DON'T BLAME YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO CAN'T STAND YOUR KOOL AID DRINKING ASS.

First Trump's administration is going to be jacked up with little known outliers with controversial and radical ideas. That is what Trump is attracted to. His ideas of tariffs and mass deportations are deplorable. They both disadvantage the US instead making it better. However, the tariffs may as well be a scam to get companies profits as when Trump says 10% on item A, companies are going to raise the cost of item A 12 to 15% or so and blame the cost increase on tariffs. For deportation's, I hope most people realize that many working the fields as low wage labor are very well illegals, but they are hired because they keep food costs low. Raising all prices for the poor Republicans will not be beneficial because prices on goods can increase 15% or more but their employer is certainly not going give them a 15% raise to match the cost of living. So Trump has already made the business environment good for more profits by planning to make life more expensive for everyone so business can absorb the additional profits. Probusiness politicians help businesses make money and that money comes from households and the government. And making the government spend more means the government needs to tax more. But TRump is cutting taxes for the people that have the most money. And Trump raising prices with tariffs justs makes households poorer and business richer. Naturally, the stock market will record highs when all the indicators are that business will be making much greater profits from households when Trump takes office.

Honestly I think the real problem is a smooth path to residency/citizenship. \nIllegal immigrants want to do it right but the system sucks and takes way too long. I’m talking more than 5, 10, 15 years. \nPeople act like you can get it done like going to your local Starbucks. Illegal immigrants pay taxes just like everyone else and don’t receive a lot of benefits.

Nobody from Trump’s former admin team supports him, this guy fears Putin, Kim and other low life dictators, he is going to create artificial economical ballon and it will burst on everyone’s face

Mass deportation means there will not be anyone to harvest our produce, so we will have massive food shortages and dramatic increases in inflation. The Republican Party used the border security lie to scare people into voting for their racist ideology. They despise non-white people, even the ones our economy depends on. Everyone should prepare for a major recession and dramatic increases in inflation. These Republican policies are going to crash the US economy. This is what you get when you vote for a convicted felon who is a prolific liar and racist named Donald Trump.

You can't fix stupid and what do you know? Let's vote for the most stupid aholes in the world and implement the most stupid ideas in the world. Way to go America! Once again, America first, screw everyone else.

Let me get this straight !!! Your going to deport everyone who grows your food and builds your houses and who's tax 98 billion holds up your health care services ..LMFAO.

Everyone wants to live amongst Europeans but don’t want to assimilate . When i go to another country i respect the their laws and culture. \nGive Europeans any plot of land and they will turn it into paradise , same can’t be said about other cultures .

Native Americans was here first, so that means everyone should be gone, hmmm, Taxpayers are going pay for the wall and everything else, IMO!!

Deporting illegal immigrants isn't as easy as many MAGA fans think it is. Everyone, even illegal immigrants, have the right to due process under the constitution. This means even if you round up illegal immigrants, they have a right to seek relief from deportation in front of an immigration judge, and this process could take several months or even years. Only after this process has been exhausted and an immigration judge gives the green light, can you go ahead and deport.

The economy is not going to handle deportations + tariffs very well. Prepare yourselves, everyone.

If they can’t fire everyone of these people at ICE, they need to banish to a boring powerless position in the basement. Make ICE great again ?? USA. ?? Does this guy know he’s going to not have job for much longer? You can’t have ICE ran by a guy who’s going to make it intentionally difficult\n\nAnd yes they shouldn’t get “due process” because if you take away the very weak standards they had to let people in in the first place and pass their court hearing, they shouldnt get past.\n\nDid you know legal immigrations have to pass a physical and they require a whole host of vaccines and even - so far - 2-3 shots of a covid vaccine depending on type. They even require a yearly flu shot! I hope they take that requirement away soon. No one is talks about mandating LEGAL immigrations have to get the covid vaccine. But the point is ILLEGAL immigrants aren’t expected to any of these. \n\nNot to mention that legal immigrants, but presumably not TRUE Asylum seekers, have to pay THOUSANDS of dollars to get a green card. \n\nGee I wonder why so many legal Latino immigrants would be pissed that the had to work so hard and pay so much, and these assholes let millions of the 3rd world in with so little requirements that tens of thousands of violent criminals were let in. So much so that Venezuelan gangs were able to take over multiple apartment blocks and hold the occupants hostage and demand “rent” from them.

As a LEGAL immigrant, I'm baffled that these democratic party idiots and supporters don't understand the dangers of illegal immigration. If illegal immigration is OK, then why bother with Congress, taxes and the democratic process in the first place???? Just open the borders and let everyone come and it's going to be a circus. Lol ???

Project 2025 will go into effect! Hope everyone enjoys it because you voted for him. He's not going solve our problems. He's simply going use his power to go after his enemies and anyone against him.

Cost to deport 1 million migrants 88 billion dollars. Sad I believe no one is going to see who is legal and just round everyone up because Trump has whipped everyone up in a frenzy. People forget he started a lot of the mess himself. May God help us all.

These Racist Congressmen, are so ignorant about the Majority Reason, why people come to this country. The Majority come because, they want a better life for themselves, and their family. They don't leave their Native Country because they want to take a Vacation to the U.S. They have every Right, to Seek A Better Future. This Country is for Every Human Being! People from All Walks Of Life, are here to STAY! Everyone has come to USA, from around the World! The Only Native Americans, were the Indians, that were here, before Christopher Columbus arrived! Did they tell Cristopher Columbus, go back to Italy, you are not Welcome Here? No Ignorant People, they ateTHANKSGIVING TOGETHER! It seems, that many people didn't learned History in School. They just went to fool around, and stay dumb! It's Ashamed!

Go through the normal process like everyone else

Good luck punishing your donor’s companies for employing illegals??. Your contractor neighbor with a huge Trump flag on his truck is not gonna like having to either get rid of his 20 illegal Central American landscapers or being punished for having employed them. Good luck deporting 15’000’000 people. That’s 264 people every single day of the 4 years. Who’s going to pay for that? I have no issues deporting criminal illegals but it’s just unrealistic that you 1.) should or 2.) can deport everyone, including the ones contributing to local economies and taxes. There are more pressing issues for Americans. Getting the? !

Congratulations to yall immigrants that voted for Trump they are going to drive the US Debt higher and higher and thanks to yall Republicans on the future recession that is to come. Also thanks Ms Harris for trying to warn everyone.

Good. Even the immigrants who came here LEGALLY want this to happen. I imagine they feel cheated by the system as much as everyone else does. Is CNN ever going to shape up?

if you deported everyone who is going to pick your strawberries? i hope you enjoy your expensive fruits so good luck paying more for groceries ?

If he is going to deport everyone i do not think that the maga people are going to pick products from farms actually i would like to see this.

There aren't going to be more jobs coming up here because of the tariffs that Trump is going to do in fact several companies are already canceling their Christmas bonuses for people because they are going to be pre-buying things they need to try to get ahead of the tariffs they know that are coming this isn't going to make businesses want to hire pay more money increase benefits or anything like that I don't understand why people think this is going to be some kind of economic Boone I don't understand how everyone's forgotten what happens with tariffs the first time he was in office and now he wants to do even more

So this mass deporation will cost $100 bil to achieve (some estimates put it at over $300 bil) and those immigrants pay approx. $100 bil in taxes (including paying into SS, which they can't use) and many of them do menial jobs for low wages that citizens do not want to do (unless you pay them more, which raises prices)... combine this with potential tariffs and this sounds like a foolproof plan for a recession with stagflation. I want to say Trump voters can FAFO, but unfortunately they are going to bring everyone down with them

Lmfao this country is done for,get ready for more gangs,rapes and scum here ya go you love everyone canadians lmfao

Is it necessary for me to remind everyone that Roxham Road - that Trudeau refused repeatedly to officially close for so many years - is located in... Québec. How convenient is that ! With the catastrophic consequences we should all know. ~~~ I know that local residents were scared : they purchased alarm systems. Is this going to happen again ?!

Everyone that will try enter here know they are criminals and Trumps sending their butts back. Mark Miller already says we will have a “measured approach” \nSo hear me out. Is this why Trudeau and Miller were pretending that they were going to lower immigration targets in anticipation of a Trump win because now we are going to get millions from USA? And they claim asylum saying big bad Trump is sending my butt back to Venezuela and my life will be in immense danger there, we already know Libs luv thugs.
