I think we should also be bracing for a stream of American Democrats and liberals moving north. Trump 2.0 isn't the same as 1.0. That time it was I'm leaving because. . . This time its I'm leaving because I might not be welcome here anymore. Although highly unlikely because of our close proximity one could even argue that an American brain drain might also happen as scientists move north to continue their research free of government interference. Remember Einstein read the room in the 1930s and left Germany for America. This could now happen to America as scientists read the room and walk away with their research saying let those Christian Nationalist deal with nuclear fission with just God's hands.

I'm a Democrat and I think anybody that came here illegal should be deported my family came here legally. I don't think we should build a wall and burn up all of our money I think we need to put in more people and drones and helicopters give people a job. And a retirement

Another topic that most Americans are clueless about. Well, here's some info that I'm sure you don't know. My ex-husband was from Central Ameri, a and I've known hindreds of people who have come here illegally throughout the years and NEVER until this past year have I known of anyone being deported without a court date first. Well, an ex family memeber of mine got caught at the border twice (once in 2023 and once in 2024) and was deported twice with NO COURT DATE! So, whatever people THINK is going on, they're wrong. But hey, if Trump says it, it MUST be true! ?

Just think folks once all of the illegals are out of our country we can start helping our homeless citizens. I know imagine that happening instead of catering to these illegals like they're royalty. I'm not just talking about Spanish I'm talking about Haitians-romanians,Chinese,africans,indians,EVERYONE who is here that's not supposed to be here. The executive order must give police a direct order from the commander and chief of the USA stating the police are ordered to ask for identification on all people's in this country on spot without cause. If you're a citizen you don't have anything to worry about if you're illegal you get deported within 24 hours after arrest NO NEED FOR A COURT CASE they will be put onto busses in every city loaded to the gills driven to the boarder and yes folks the NATIONAL GAURD might have to be used to show everyone how fkn serious we are about taking our country back. Enough is Enough democrats have proven they can't be trusted to run our country. What a nightmarish mess President Trump has to clean up.

Anyone reading this that is planning on crossing the border. I'm gonna be frank with ya. Aside from the fact that you probably shouldn't be trying to circumvent our laws just to avoid a situation you don't like in the USA right now... you also shouldn't be trying to cross our border in what is becoming our winter season. \n\nThere are plenty who try, and many do meet a grim fate due to the elements they are just not prepared for. And even if you think you can do it, or prepare enough to do it, you still shouldn't. There isn't much you can do when you have fallen into one of the many sloughs that hide beneath the snow and ice during winter, waiting to make you a popsicle. And if you get out of that, you still have to somehow get warm again. But let's say you avoid that, what then? Well, we have these really cold biting winds that make the -30 temps feel like -40 or worse. But you came prepared, so let's say you can handle that for a bit. Well, you sweat. You will get damp, then wet, over time. Then your fancy clothing doesn't do much for you anymore. Ya dig?\n\nOh but wait, there's more. So we have this wildlife eh', and it likes to do this thing that wild life does... and it eats you. Coyotes are one such kind of wildlife. Bears are another. Both are prolific in certain areas, all the way down to the border in some cases. \n\nGranted, coyotes usually aren't a huge problem for us up here, but that's cause we know how to deal with them usually. Bears are another issue, that even we have problems with at times. You'll probably run into a black bear if you run into one. Grizzlies tend to be further north and to the west. You're gone too far somehow if you find Polar bears. \n\nThere are other critters to mention, but they're more active in the summer, like rattle snakes. (Yes, we have them)\n\nOkay, so you got past the border, and you actually somehow managed to survive the winter temps in your trek to some sort of civilization. Now you have to somehow find a place to live. This is of course assuming you decided to try to bypass all our border security of course. You could go to an embassy and declare asylum I guess. But right now, you're more likely to be given a ticket back to where you came from initially. So that's not something in the game plan for you. What then?\n\nWelcome to being homeless. Oh, and you're still having to deal with our winter temperatures. \n\nSuffice to say, right now is not a good time to be trying to ignore our laws just to do whatever you want. Consider this a fair warning, as this about all the F's I have to give over it all in regards to your safety. I just am dismayed that some of you mouth breathers are going to get your kids harmed because of it all as well.

You would think that they would know what a tyrant looks like and acts like coming from a country like Cuba and other Latin countries. I'm not sure if these people can vote, but if they voted for trump, they just contributed in screwing over our country!

In a four year term, that’s 1460 days… To deport 15 m “illegals”, that comes out to 10k+ a day… and this guy thinks it’s not complicated at all \n\nGood luck

I’m honestly wondering, who will fill the vacant jobs left after immigrants are gone? Hard not to think this will have a domino effect.

I'm starting to think of leaving the place just isn't what it used to be

If Donald Trump and his supporters think that they’re evil behavior is godly behavior, then I’m better off worshiping the devil!

He most likely won’t get them all out. The cayotes ( human smugglers) are going to go back to their old ways of bringing ppl in under trains , tunnels, etc. and watch how hard for the “no tax on overtime” ?? I’m a trump supporter but you’d be stupid to think a president can come in and start just doing everything he says. The only one who loses in all this is us people who pay taxes, fight each other over a man made system of drama and politics that at the end of the day doesn’t matter because we aren’t moving forward

I know this video is old but I think you should know the little ding you use is INCREDIBLY distracting. I can’t more than 3 minutes into this video because I cannot stand it interrupting. \n(This isn’t a hate comment I’m trying to help viewer retention)

These comments are ridiculous, do you think all Latinos are illegal??? The ones that voted for Trump want the illegals deported to because they are Americans! Sheesh!! I'm black and if they start deporting illegal Africans it ain't no skin off my back! My family will stay here with me! Wow!

You do realize it’s not just Latinos that would be getting deported. Mass deportation also includes Africans, Haitians, Arabs, Egyptians, etc. Do you think an ICE officer will cares enough to differentiate between a Black American born in the US and say a Black Honduran ?? What about families who are mixed race and one parent is US born while the other isn’t? Then what? I’m immensely disappointed by Latinos voting for this man, but mass deportation isn’t “cut and dry” where it’s only going to effect one group. It’s going to impact TONSSS of people across the board.

Quit using the term Undocumented Immigrants. The correct Term is Illegal Aliens who have broken Immigration Laws by entering the Country illegally which is a is Criminal Act. I blame Both sides for using that Term and not Revising the Laws to Deal with the Problems. Immigration Laws need to be Revised and Enforced Period. Quit kicking the Can down the Road. Do your Damn Jobs Congress! No I’m not a Republican or Democrat. I’m an Independent Thinking American stuck in Between this Lunacy.

Lol, she has a point. As much as I dislike Trump (I'm a liberal), illegal immigrants cost the US more money than they pay in taxes. I still think Trump is a terrible president, but agree with conservatives that illegal immigration is a problem that should be addressed.

That’s what the American people want. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of them. I think you gotta be a racist pig act that way.

I have a feeling that undocumented immigrants who don't bother anyone will be among those who will be deported. I don't think Trump and his team thought this through, especially about how huge an undertaking this would be. Those immigrants don't scare me. I'm more scared of some of my fellow Americans.

Trump doesn’t care about due process, he doesn’t even care about loyalty. He locked up his own lawyer because his lawyer decided to use something called the first amendment. His lawyer, what makes you think he’s going to care about some voter he’s never met before!? I’m fifth generation Irish American and even I’m concerned about getting deported.

It's odd to think there are still people on Earth that are still hunter - gatherers, with no other human contact. What's more amazing is no one has stuck their noses in it m

Sir for teachers do you think canada will provide the visa to the teachers \nLike i have done bachelors of arts and bachelors of education and now i m planning to pursue my masters in education specially education psychology ..in regina ( university of regina ) do you think this course is fine !!

I'm not surprised. Mexican families always have at least one family member who thinks they're better than the rest of them. They're also the first to talk shit about any family member who is doing good for themselves.

While I respect her for doing it the right way, as everyone should, her lack of empathy for her family members is terrible. I’m not even talking about her voting for Donald. I’m talking about her thinking she is colonized now that she has become a citizen. \n\nI never, ever understood why certain Hispanics and Latinos do this. They want to be “white” so bad, they don’t even hear what’s being said about them to their faces. This lady thinks wearing MAGA gear will get her a pass. I want to see her WITHOUT the MAGA gear and see what happens. Then again, she would make an excuse for that!

Why do Indians prefer to live anywhere but India. If you think about it…it’s really sad. Imagine not wanting to live in or contribute to your own country. I’m referring to the talented immigrants. The Lawyers, Physicians, Politicians, Businessmen, Tradesmen and the like. Why not take what you’ve learned and put it into practice for the people of India instead of people in America/Canada/Pretty much everywhere in the world but India. It’s a damn shame because if anyone has seen videos of the true India, its landscape and geography…wow OMG! India is a stunningly beautiful countryside.

She’s going to b deported first. A lot of immigrants think now that I’m here don’t allow anymore. She is clueless as to how much she’s hated in real life.

She wants to take this country back. She's an immigrant. This is not her country.??? This is the type of people we do not need in this country. When she came to this country she stood in line for her green card. Meaning she came here illegally and then applied for a green card. I'm not sure who she thinks she's fooling, other than herself

I left Montreal and never looked back. Sure, I miss my friends, but I think I’d reached a breaking point, both mentally and physically. I enjoy other Canadian cities, but something about Montreal left me feeling constantly sad and burned out. I’m not saying it was the city itself, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t right for me. After seven years, I realized I couldn’t adapt. Wish you all the best. Free Palestine!

C this is what I’m talking about when I say Trump supporters are a bunch of solace puppets. How you can be OK with losing majority of your family as if getting back to this country is the easiest thing much less getting citizenship is beyond me. You still have your green card because getting citizenship in this country takes 15 to 20 years, I don’t understand what kind of flex you think you have why saying you have a green card.S

You immigrants are so ignorant to think that trump gives a damn about you ?. And I'm an American citizen and I know he doesn't give a shit about us. Lady he will deport your family if he is president ?. Make it make sense.

Hm, for the first it is a very eloquent answer.\nThe second thought asks, what if there are people who want to flee out getting away from danger of War. \nI'm pretty sure ,many of the civilians would like to flee.\nBut no one opens the border to give them Asyl.\nNo, I think, it's a poisoned answer to keep the palestinansian people out.

Y’all hating on this lady because she said her family should do it right. I’m not a trumper (definitely going to be voting Harris/walz) but I agree with her. I wouldn’t expect to immigrate to a different country illegally why would I think that was ok for others to do in my country? I don’t think she’s wrong for saying they should apply to do it legally like she did. -an Alaskan native

I work for an Canadian Indian trucking company in Texas and I have to say Indians are some of the most racist people I've ever met. Which is crazy because in my head I'm thinking didn't y'all invent Karma why are you just continuing the cycle of racism oh well maybe in their next life they'll have more darker skin so they can be hated even more so. Come on don't you want to be enlightened mentally and physically so that in your next life you're born with lighter skin you get it... enlightened. Indian people are gross the racist ones not all of them of course

His literally thinking, I'm alone, i knew this was a setup

I’m Canadian and I want to leave . I’m thinking Thailand

I am a Canadian Indian who came here in 1974, I was 8 years old when I came to Canada, back in my generation we respected the Canadian value system and culture and appreciation for the Country, we didn't come here with the mentality to dominate a country that accepted and open their doors to immigrants, I feel this young generations of today lack respect, manners, they have a strong sense of entitlement and a superiority complex that doesn't blend in with the Canadian culture please go back to India as it's not fair that we paid our taxes here for so many years and you come to take our jobs and dominate us and think you're so much smarter than Canadians if this is the case why are you flocking to our Country, please stay in your own Country and be better over there, this is not Indian so don't change the Canadian value system to be like India, I'm so disappointed with your unwanted behaviors and how you ruined our Country!

A Ukrainian immigrant here. Absolutely in love with beautiful canadian nature, cute little houses, especially townhouses in toronto, just so wholesome. As for life, you gotta be some sort of specialist like a doctor, or a proper construction worker, or a truck driver to have a decent life that goes beyond just getting by and eking out an existence. On my own i can make enough money for food and rent, but thats about it, and im happy about it, really, i get to be alive thanks to canada, but i really hope i could move out of here as soon as it becomes safe, or just move to a cheaper country thats a decent distance away from russia. I ended up being unemployed and i do feel like im in quite a real danger on eventually becoming homeless if i dont manage to procure a job, and you know how the job market is now. As for health care, i simply dont have access to it, at least i dont have a family doctor and have been trying for a while to get one. I haven't tried walking ins yet since i prioritize food over health now but i might someday. I just hope that whatever sickness bugs me is minor, i cant do anything about it. My teeth hurt too, but i cant afford a dentist, and ive found one Clinique in toronto that helps immigrants fix their teeth for cheap, they can help you with three teeth in total, and i've used up one of it, and saving the rest for real emergencies. I cant eat anything except for real soft food, and i know im not gonna get any help i could afford any time soon.\nOnce i get a job i will be saving as much money as i can to leave Canada, i don't know where yet but i'm doing my research and hopefully will find a place, and if not well, sucks to suck. It's hard for everybody out there, i'm just one of the millions if not billions who go through that.\n\nAlso I don’t think ‘nobody wants to live in Canada’ is entirely accurate. It seems that the idea of canada, and the way its marketed, attracts a lot of new immigrants, and a lot of people would love a chance to live in Canada. It's simply not true. But after the fact , once they have , i could believe that some are not willing to stay and might regret the decision of moving in the first place.

So you're taking your wife and kids and moving to Palestine? \nBecause you think Canada is bad? \nI'm not unhappy to see you go. Canada needs people that love it, not that just want to use it.\nBut, I do feel very bad for your children.

I'm from Brazil and I thing that here the things can be worse! Of couse that everyone have your opinion, but if people live here,, everybody will change your opinion! Abaut prices, violence, taxes.. The next year, i hope so, I will grap my italian citizenship and move on to Irland with my husband. We're 31 yeas old, and we are public servent, but it's impossible live here. I think that the world is change! Because he have war and others things. Sometime we want to go to Canada after Irland, and we look that can be a biggest oportunity for our live and our kids in the future!

Like I explained, to those who say this will sour the us and canada's relationship. Americans don't care because even though Canada is less than 50% white, in they minds its still a majority white nation. That's why you don't see the BUILD A WALL etc, like you see with mexico, because even though the majority of immigrants crossing into the us from Mexico, might have been Mexican in the early 2000's, now that's not the case, 300k Colombians in one years, 175k indians, 75k turks, 150k, from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, 500k from Russia and Ukraine since the war began, 200k from ecuador, 75k Chinese per year etc etc. And they scream, build a wall, and make mexico pay for it. Because mexico is less than 20% white. At this point with all the immigrants canada gives citizenship too, mexico is probably more white than canada at this point or will be in the near future. But y'all don't see as that, like i said y'all still think canada is a majority white nation when it's not, and mexico is a amarindiean majority nation when with all the immigrants canada has now, sorry, new Canadians mexico is probably just as white or even more so than canada. And for those that think I'm exaggerating, read the comments or the lack thereof, and the ones that do comments completely overlook the fact that they can use and are using canada to reach the us, and completely want to change the conversation to the ones crossing from Mexico, why? Are there or are there not using canada to cross into the us, and the thing is this people pick which country to use, as we choose which restaurant to eat at!!!!!!! Well, I like.... I would prefer..... today the majority choose mexico. Tomorrow as you just saw will be canada, will y'all also scream build a wall???

Um-m ... me thinks he sidestepped the question.

If you apply asylum, then you should be banned from ever being allowed to visit the country you apply your asylum from. I’m sure more ppl will think twice to apply….. and if you apply and your case is found to be fraudulent then that’s automatically denied and you are deported back and barred from ever entering the country again. Problem solved

Sorry to hear you’re leaving Canada….I haven’t been watching your vids lately but will catch up. As someone born and raised in Toronto, I love being in Canada. I’m proud to be Canadian. Unfortunately, I am sad to say that we have been going so downhill ever since Trudeau and his gang of idiots came in AND the pandemic. It’s not really easy to maintain your finances here anymore, so many people are struggling in this country. You can’t really afford anything today, it’s so sad. I’m unhappy with what has been happening to our country and the state we’re in. As you said, problems have arisen and continue to plague this country, from crime, cost of living, homeless crisis and quality of life.\n\nIf other of my fellow Canadians are leaving this “great” country, that’s their choice. But I am staying here and going to deal with its problems. I love this country with all my heart, and I don’t think I would move anywhere to a different country. Yes anyone that moves out of here is your choice but….there’s no other great country in the world than here. I’m staying here and I think that’s a good thing. I will be here for the forseeable future and I love it here. I agree with your points and I wish you the best.

The economy is growing but GDP is going down. Anyone who thinks Canadians are being prejudice are completely ignorant to our side. I, like most Canadians, don’t have a dual citizenship. The one country in the world that is supposed to take care of me is failing to do so. I feel like I’m drowning and I want out

Hi… I totally agree with just about everything you stated in all aspects of the Indian community. I’m a Canadian who happens to be living in Brampton for the past 12 years. I’ve watched Brampton go from a beautiful community to a dark dreaded place to live , and this is truly because of Indian behaviours. Mind you I have many genuinely good intelligent respectful Indian friends, but there’s the others that thinks they owe the city, province, and country. They don’t respect no one, and I mean no one. NOT EVEN THEIR OWN KIND (Indians/ Punjab). And yes as a Canadian citizen whenever I see something I do call them out on it. However; the moment you say something to them they assume that you’re cursing at them and what was ment to be a respectful comment becomes a situation where they want to argue and even get into a physical fight. Then there’s the bad, careless driving on the streets with no regards to the next person’s life. They drive like their car is the only one on the street yet always looking for someone to race with not to mention the illegal U-TURN creating major accidents. I personally experienced this when a Tractor Trailer Driver tried making a U-TURN on the city street with only 4 lanes for both direction at 4AM in the morning. This caused me to almost ran under the trailer body which would have been the end of my life. They butt into lines and interrupts as much as business conversations thinking their concerns are way more important than anyone else’s and That’s just to name a few things.\nNow on the other hand I do have VERY GOOD RESPECTFUL INDIAN FRIENDS who I will never let go of our friendship because of their genuine respectful relationship although even those close friends are now pulling themselves away from their own country people and all because of the others behaviour.\nThirdly; YES, the Canadian government invites foreign students into the country with improper sources to monitor and direct a governing body to monitor and process the activities of foreign students .\n\nI love your honesty in your stories back your video clips as proof of your country men behaviour. Keep up your good work and try spreading your positivity among your community.

I'm lost as to why you're really wanting to leave Canada? I didn't finish watching your video because half way through, I felt overwhelmed. You talked alot, but I couldn't understand why you want to leave or what I could suggest you do to stay. You said that you really value Canada.\nI'm from Calgary and I was also a kid before the internet. I too had a vivid imagination, yet I didn't travel much and I think it's been crippling for me. This winter I will be going to Hawaii because I have a deep calling to the water (and surfing somewhat).\nI like that you made this video. I may yet finish watching it. \nI hope that you discover what it is that is causing you conflict and unrest.

I’m all for immigrants coming over to the US but I’m honestly think we should just close off our borders entirely until tensions come down across the world. I feel like this ultimately could harm people of all ethnic groups in the US. I mean the man was targeting Jewish people in the US who have no involvement with Israel innocent bystanders. It’s honestly sad

Thank you very much for this information I really appreciate ????pls I would need clarity about visitors visa for a short term study as I’m about to apply for a Diploma in Personal Support Worker (an in demand course)because the school I applied to doesn’t over PGWP, do you think it would be easier for me to get a job with Canada considering that the school doesn’t offer PGWP and convert to a work visa. I would really appreciate a response on this??

I FEEL FOR THE INDIAN STUDENTS BUT THE SCAM STARTS IN INDIA . YOU'D THINK MODI WOULD STOP IT .ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS REMEBER SHIELA COPPS AND THE INDIAN APPLE GROWER SCAM.ITS HOW TO GET MONEY OUT OF DUMP GOVERNMENTS ACOUPLE OF MILLI HERE AND THERE AND WORK PERMITS THROWN IN AND SOLD TO INDIANS AT THE HIGHS PRICE JUST INDIANS SCAMING OTHER INDIANS AREN'T WE LUCK WHITE'S DON'T SCAM OTHER WHITE'S JUST A LITTLE JOKE WELL DAVID THANKS IN CANADA YOU'LL NEVER RUN OUT OF MATERIAL GOD BLESS ME I'M OLDER THAN DIRT AND REMEBER THE UNION CARBID BLOW UP IN INDIA BOY DID THE INDIAN PEOPLE GET SCREWED BY THE CORPARETION

How do they have time to protest? Shouldn't they be studying or working? I wish I had time to protest about all the things that are not right, but I have to work to pay my bills. I'm Canadian born I've lived here for 44 years and I have not had time to protest not one day of my life. The nerve of these people coming to Canada and thinking they have more rights than Canadian Citizens. Go back to your Country and protest there. Find the Indian people that told you these lies in India and hold them accountable.

I’m sorry, but never would I move to the US for all of the reasons already given in the video. I have a good friend in Massachusetts and I keep asking him when he’s going to come home to Canada. I really think Trump is going to be President again and I think it is time for my friend and his son to come on home. I don’t even feel very comfy visiting in the US anymore…And if (when) Trump wins, and Project 2025 goes through, I don’t think it will be particularly safe for most people to be there. Sorry about that…
