Forget about 11 million illegal immigrants that invaded US under Biden, DW want to tell you about legal ones that won't be able to get in US?. Ofcoz they know even for the mosy deranged of people defending illegal immigration will not make sense, so they scape goat with ones they claim are legal ?

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.

As for that Elena Barrera, you had 27 years to fix your immigration status, clearly you didn't care enough to become a legal citizen, so you can go. Good bye.

DW TV, why are guys lying about Trump? He never has any problem with legal immigrants. Tell the truth, far- left media.

I pray for them and My heart hurts for them but immigration needs to be applied for properly and legally and I thank Good we have a President and Vice President and proper Government officals in office again??I pray for every soul who wants to come into country but they must abide by law and do it properly! My life was threatened by an illegal I was working with and when I report nothing was done?We need law and order in our country again and the attacks coming from the criminals and terrorists The Biden admin let in are immenant???Pray they do not blow whole country up as there is 60 thousand pounds of missing fertalizer .That's what was used in Oklahoma City. I believe we must pray hard for the safety of our country?May God Bless and keep our United States of America safe from the terrorists allowed in by Biden Administration????I pray constantly for safety of our Beautiful Country

you are so willing to break immigration laws WHAT OTHER LAWS ARE YOU WILLING TO BREAK.... what is the probleem with coming in the LEGAL WAY LIKE GOOD PEOPLE DO

No legal immigrants should be crying

This is absolutely ridiculous!! It is not a RIGHT to come into our country. It is something that legal immigrants spend months to years and a lot of personal money to do. Just like most of our ancestors. We have lost a family member and a friend to fentanyl. I support closing the borders and deportations after that clown of a job the Biden admin has done these past four years. Our country has never been weaker than one day ago. So grateful we finally have a president that is pro-America. That is how it SHOULD be. If a country’s leaders aren’t doing their job to follow the governments laws and they aren’t making their own country safe for their citizens that is on them. Not the USA to allow anyone and everyone in. Crime is rampant. Drugs are flowing across the border. This is needed and you are manipulating truth.

The United States, like any sovereign nation, has the undeniable right to control immigration. Simply wanting to live and work in a country, even if you’re willing to go through a legal process, does not automatically entitle you to be welcomed. Each nation has a fundamental responsibility to prioritize the best interests of its citizens, ensuring that immigration policies align with its economic, social, and security needs.\n\nWhen someone enters the U.S. without following the proper legal procedures, they are breaking the law. It is unreasonable to expect a warm welcome when the very first act upon entering the country is a violation of its laws. This disregard for legal processes undermines the integrity of the system and sends a troubling message to those who have worked hard and waited patiently to immigrate the right way.\n\nImmigration laws are not merely bureaucratic hurdles, they exist to uphold order, security, and fairness. To disregard them not only disrespects the system but also those who abide by it. It is not about lacking compassion for those in need; rather, it is about maintaining the principle that laws matter and that the rule of law is foundational to a strong and equitable society.\n\nRespecting a country’s immigration laws is the first step toward earning the trust and acceptance of its citizens. Those who choose to bypass these laws should not expect to be welcomed with open arms, as doing so undermines both the system and the values that the United States, and any country, must protect.

No one has been crying about over 350,000 children gone missing. Or the sex slavery of many illegal women and children. All possible only through open borders. Most people are like me and welcome legal immigrants.

Certainly the American people want to help all legal immigrants. \nBut the Gulf of America has a lot of problems, the Mexican Drug Cartel, and Human Trafficking along the Borders. \nThe Arctic Storms currently sweep the \nGulf of America. \nMexico is a warmer climate for people without homes. \nThe U.S. must rid our cities of Terrorists that have entered the U.S. under the Biden Administration. \nNearly 13 million unvetted Aliens have entered the U.S. \nWhen these Terrorists have been sent back to their countries of origin. \nThen we can allow good honest hardworking legal immigrants to once again enter the greatest nation on earth.

So the argument is if someone jumps the fence and pitches a tent in your front yard, you should welcome them with milk and cookies? What does that say about the legal immigrants who have to go through a stringent process ?.. why do we even need visa ?

This is a great start. The law applies to all. I'm an immigrant and had to do it the legal way. If I had to do it, then all should.

The problem with the way things have become here is that now people that have immigrated legally to Canada and are citizens are now becoming targets of hate and violence. I agree that once the visa is expired people need to go and honor what they signed for. We are also punishing those people who have done nothing wrong. This is really scary to see in our country. Hold government accountable for what they have done and ourselves accountable for who we elect and how we treat other human beings. We are all humans no matter skin color or where we are born so be kind to each other. Yes they need to follow the rules we have but we also need not be hate filled and violent, that is not what a Canadian is.

Illegal colonizers being recist to legal innocent immigrants.

Palki: your program shows only part of the story. \n\nIndians are one of the most visible visa violators. You should know that in the US, we have 700,000 illegal immigrants, which includes people who are overstaying their given visa duration. \n\nOver 15% of the Indian population in the US are illegal aliens. \n\nBy giving such incomplete picture of the issue, you are only losing your credibility outside India as a Angrezi Indian TV program \n\nYou should do a series of programs on why Indians, in the middle of such promising growth, are so desperately wanting to leave India to Angrezi-speaking Gora countries. \n\nYou should dig a little deep into the issue. \n\nUK and France are under the grip of their social fabric being torn apart because of their own past errors and sins as empires. \n\nBelgium and Holland are already changed demographically with legal and illegal immigrants. \n\nCanada, Australia and NZ are threatened by Indian immigrants who have entered their counties under the guise of students. The populations of these countries are smaller than Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata metro populations. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman

the dems caused this, your the ones that spent tons of money, $5 billion in NYC, mmy city, and we see the crimes that sadly follow illegals. I am a legal immigrant.

India has to be careful not to get caught in its echo chambers. Large number of illegals in west are of Indian origin especially US and Canada. If legal immigration should have any chance, India has to crack down on the illegals. Once they get deported investigation is necessary to break the backbone of these human trafficking gangs!

Mr. K.Mukherjee .BE (Germany ) (Canada) Thousands of Indian students went to Canada with a student visa, not for education but to find ways to stay and work.These Five Eyes countries are rejecting the visas at random.Don't try to blame ,rather try to teach these young people the basic moral education and polite behaviour to others and not to try from the back door.Without any legal Immigration papers ,there will be no survival in Canada.Try to bring back the respect from the others.Please don't repeat the fifth largest economy in the world over and over.This will not change a dime about the notion to the developed countries.

The problem is they are not able to curb illegal immigrants and taking the wrath on people who want to go legally .\n\nIn my case they didnot even give a reason why it was rejected even after my bank balance showed hefty consistent bank balance and a business which has proper income tax document .\n\nThe reason given was not enough economic roots .

thats because indians once they land in a foreign country donot want to go back, thats reflects a very bad image of indians.. I am a legal immigrant in UK, but I see so many indians who misuse study visa to stay beyond their visa expiry and eventually become illegal immigrants just taking advantage of the system.. this reflects are very bad image.

This is news only for Fatty Palki and her fans. Just bcoz u yell night and day does not mean u are vishwa guru. Population is unskilled and unemployable like Fake degree PM- Almost 99.9% population in India wants to immigrate to foreign shores legally or illegally.

how about indians entering countries on visitor visas and staying illegally ... so 1st and foremost we need to mend our ways \nlot of people are after easy money or some fake illusion of luxurious life abroad without putting hard yards in ... fact is most of these idiots end up selling their ancestral properties or forcing parents to take unfavorable loans in search of their world of fantasies .\nMy advice to all such people skill up and work on yourself you will be able to live your life with dignity irrespective of where you are either in India or abroad . Most people don't know the everyday struggles of illegal immigrants .... they are never respected hard to find white collar jobs and end up working overtime and highly underpaid (employers mostly desis/indians takes advantage of their situation and pay them less than minimum wages ) for sake of putting bread on dinner table for your family .\n\nPS : I am not discouraging anyone from seeking opportunity abroad but cautioning against using illegal means .Do it legally and live a life of dignity .

Sorry as a British born Indian I must say this when Indians from the motherland come it pushes down the salary we natives get as big companies pay Indians from India less than natives. It is a massive problem for us local people??????? I am a proud Indian but I am also a proud Brit from my lovely west country, 80s born. We have too much illegal and legal immigration and it is a problem for us natives.

In California these immigrants have more rights than legal citizens. They free everything. Time to stop this insanity!

I mean this is no different than Latinos in the US. Entire cities have become mostly Latino with many people who don’t speak English. White people were already minorities in the cities before that though. Decades ago Blacks had moved to the cities and many Whites moved out to the suburbs to avoid them, and used discriminatory policies to stop the Blacks from following them. I don’t feel sympathy for the Whites though. They are simply going through a much nicer version of what indigenous people went through. There’s no massacres or anything, just a bunch of legal immigrants who don’t speak their language. Whatever guys.

4:00 only reason it was blocked is because \nA. It would've granted asylum without any sort of hearing \nB. It talked about giving legal status to two million illegal immigrants every year (which is very good you can imagine)

We're legal immigrants ?

Canada is in crisis, politically, economically and financially. Our health care system is hanging on by a thread. The Crime Minister Justa Traitor has served his WEF masters well in dismantling this once great nation. We are hardly in a position to except legal immigrants never mind illegal ones. To anyone who wants to jump the line, break the rules and take up space otherwise desperately needed by law abiding, hard working, life long tax paying Canadian citizens I say, no way Jose!

I support legal immigration, not BS asylum claims.

It's unfair to those who pay legally just to get their family member here in the US. So yes to deported illegal immigrants.

This is chaos and they think they can just come into America and push their way into the U.S. They need to come in by Legal Immigration.

I do not agree that these international students should stay here in Canada, they should be here to study and not for work. If they wanna be a permanent residents here, they should go back to their country and apply for a permanent resident. And if it all goes well, then they come here as a landed immigrants legally.

Asylum seekers unchecked. Even to check if genuine or not could take years and decades. The damage is done. Curtailing legal immigration is going to throw the ratio off.

I’m an immigrant myself came to my country of choice legally never changed my permits worked hard not trying to game the system… became a citizen the legal way and assimilated into the country respect the laws pay my taxes don’t expect a handout speak the language and end up grateful for my situation.

⁠”Black” Indigenous Americans are wealthier than these Indian Immigrants. You people use OLD FAKE data which FAILS to include the HIGH incomes, wealth, net worth, LAND and properties of “Black” Indigenous American Sportsmen and women (millionaires and billionaires) along with “Black” Indigenous American Celebrities (millionaires and billionaires) along with “Black” American Business Owners and CEOs, “Black” American Doctors, Lawyers, Judges, Politicians, Leaders, Pastors, Activists, Teachers, Authors, Scientists, Singers, Actors, Actresses, Dancers, Performers, Comedians, etc. You looked on the (Du@MB) Internet and took “OLD” out-dated, FAKE and racists data of “ Black” American wealth at $53,000 per year And even less for women?? Your data SUCKS because OUR TOP “Black” Indigenous American’s WEALTH, completely CRUSHES Indian Immigrant”s cheaply earned “tech” wealth! Our “Black” Indigenous American Football and Basketball Players make more than your ENTIRE Indian Immigrant population wealth! \n\nBTW….Your “Black” Indigenous American US Census population data is FAKE also….OUR US Population is greater than (>42%), while the LEGAL Indian/Asian Immigrant US Population is less than (<5%). \n\nIt BUGS me when FOREIGNERS come to OUR “Black” Indigenous American country and try to tell Us OUR AMERICAN HISTORY! We have HISTORICAL RECORDS, FAMILY GENEALOGY TRACKING AND INDIGENOUS AMERICAN DNA! \n\n\nPlease include your IMPOVERISHED fellow Indian-Countrymen when you’re BRAGGING about your UNDERPAID “Tech” hourly wages (with ZERO benefits).

The student program should have never been a path to permanent residence. Every Study Permit application should have the three below terms and conditions:\n\n1. Purpose of the Visa: This student visa is issued solely for the purpose of pursuing your studies at [Institution Name] in Canada. It is a temporary visa, and its primary function is to allow you to study and engage in academic activities. It is not a pathway to permanent residency or citizenship in Canada.\n\n2. Temporary Nature of the Visa: Your student visa is valid only for the duration of your enrolled academic program or course of study. Upon the completion of your studies, you are required to leave Canada immediately, unless you apply for and are granted a different visa that legally allows you to remain, such as a work visa.\n\n3. No Pathway to Permanent Residence: This student visa does not confer eligibility for permanent resident status or citizenship in Canada. You are not permitted to apply for permanent residency or citizenship while holding this visa. If you wish to apply for permanent status in Canada, you must do so separately and in person at your country of origin in accordance with the immigration laws and procedures of Canada.

As an Asian immigrant in the US myself, I agree with controlled migration and harder punishments for illegal immigrants. \n\nNot a popular sentiment but I seriously had such a hard time with immigration going through the process because of illegal immigrants. And it's not just me. Hundreds of thousands of people who went through legal immigration share the same sentiment.

We voted for the removal of illegal immigrants so theres room for legal immigrants. Cry all you want it makes it even better!

I worked as a nurse in Florida when I first graduated. It was devastating to see how stressed people were about being hospitalized because they knew how their life finances were going to be wiped out. In Contrast Canadian patients only need to concentrate on being well again. \nWomens rights are being rapidly eroded in America. Childbirth is covered in Canada,abortions are legal and women get 1 year of paid maternity leave.\nOur children don’t have to participate in active shooter drills because of our tight gun laws. Our taxes are higher but the social networks are covered by these taxes. \nThe Canadian way of life is generally ,slower and ,I find, more accepting of immigrants, LGBTQ folks, and marginalized people.\nPersonally I moved back to Canada because I missed the change of seasons and the slower pace. I enjoyed my time living in America and have many fond memories of the time I spent there.Moving back to Canada was the right move for me

Is it true or just publicity? All of a sudden, there are lot of India, Uganda, and other part of the countries immigrants who we don’t know if they’re illegal or legal especially Jagmeet Sigh is sitting in a parliament. Of course! He is going to help his people.

The Canadian law must be amended as soon as possible, especially the immigration, residency, and even tourist visa laws. The largest possible number of foreigners who have no legal right to stay must be removed. The law and the government are the foundation of the state’s strength. Ethnic group formations must be fought by all means.

NO, they don't get to stay in Canada, they aren't Canadians, they are foreign nationals. Once you've graduated you can apply to become a legal immigrant to Canada, otherwise you get on a plane and go back to your homeland.

I have 15 immigrants living above me in a 2 bedroom condo. It’s hell! How is this even legal. They are so inconsiderate and loud banging on the floor and they don’t discipline their children. They let them run wild all day long riding bikes in the house. Selfishness.

Illegal crossing of any border is not accepted in anyway. Trump is punishing Canadians because of illegal crossing from Canada to the United States. I believe that all illegal immigrant should be return to their home countries and informed how to legal enter the country they wish to immigrate to. Immigrant if found commit serious crime offences should be return to their country and band from re-entering that country for life. This would make it easier for good immigrant to immigrate to Canada and the United States.

What?! Why are these people demanding? It is unfair to immigrants who came here legally

Yes, we Americans are totally fine with legal immigration, but illegal, nope...Our country is under constant threat of terrorism since we are the sole superpower, we need to know who is coming in, if they are on the terrorist watchlist, commited murder, etc..., that's all we want to know.

If you are a genuine student or legal immigrant there is no need to worry.Its the guilty ones who are scared.

1- Trudeau should be sent to India 2- stop ⛔️ all immigration programs to Canada until cleanup done 3- deport all student and temporary workers and refugees from countries where there are no conflicts or trouble 4- start cleanup of Trudeau damages, yes it’s still possible to act by retrieving permanent residence and even canadian citizenship from those who came as student, temporary workers or refugees. Only those who entered Canada as legal PR after being through the normal RP process deserve the Canadian citizenship and the RP… after all cleaning done, Canada should review all its immigration programs, and open its doors to only those groups who didn’t abuse the Canadian system example europeans
