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

Guantanamo bay? What is the American Indians treated white people who invaded their land like this. Anyway, I don't see the Republicans winning the next elections, they only won because Biden was pathetic, and no one wanted to vote for Kamala.

Canada is destroyed by Indian no one should let Indian stay or visit their country because they stay permanently

Nowadays, palki started butt licking to our so called National party and their ideologies , hiding the facts .\n\nWe are not cultured people , civilization is the oldest but we are not cultured at all.\n\n\nWe don't teach our children good behaviour. \n\nActually, if i were a non Indian, I would really think that dirt should be kept in one place rather than spread everywhere.

Ha I got one for you a company has 4 East Indian non related immigrant employees about 2 years now and suddenly they all leave to go back to India but as a vacation for 8 weeks. Sounds crazy they are truck drivers …. Wait is this another catch 22 and they know the flaws in the system and will be back on another work visa? Yup…oh Canada your screwed

Indians are entering USA since many years \nSwami Vivekanand..\nIs one of them.\n\nOur young generation should feel the responsibility do something to \nDevelop the nation.

No tourist visas for Indians they don't do tourism ,there is a reason for every visit to other nations and a nefarious one always

I think there is one crucial thing that need to highlight, it is about behavior. Not even in western countries but in some Asian countries, Indian already known for disrespecting to local and do not obey the rules of the country that they visit. If you ask the hotelier, driver, tour agent or even attraction/tourism spot staff they already have a signal among each other if there is tourist from India coming. In many cases, alot of provider don't accept their booking due to the previous experiences from Indian customers. \n\nSo, it is not about economic power or purchasing power but more into how Indian carry their self when they come to other people land.

Unfortunately, we do not have jobs available in the USA. There are no issues with Indians; the economy is tough for everyone. Inviting one billion people will not resolve the US economy.

Indians will invade Canada ??. No one can count Indian. So many Indian , even Chinese, Pakistanis and Bangladesh together couldn't match their numbers.??

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

One of the many reason white people living on the street is because when indian get a job they do everything possible to please the boss.gifts.food compliments ect to get to boss in their pocket as soon as the opportunity is there.they bring indians workers and white dont get the jobs.because the indians already bought the boss with gifts compliments and dark secrets ..open your eyes before is too late white people.. another thing indians they look friendly and inocent but they are not .they dont get alone among themselves..india.Banglades.pakistan.srilanka.they dont like each other.Do you think the would like you??

Average Indians have behavioral problems. They don't respect the visiting country's culture rather they do and impose their own culture on them. It includes work ethics / social norms everything.\n\nBrampton Canada is one example.

The Indian immigrants that came in the 70s and the 80s are good people and raised their family well. Not the recent ones who throw food on the street.

Range of responses here is just astonishing. The basic fact is that no one gives a shit about Indians especially Western countries. They'll stay racist as long as it suits them. And the thing about indians misbehaving, that is just contextual. That's not part of the larger problem. Larger problem is the government itself-if it cares enough for its people then it needs to do right by them.

Wasn't Palki the one saying how she personally experienced how Indian passport was being respected and revered all across the globe and even the immigration officer in Britain feeling a sense of awe and pride when dealing with Indian travellers? ??\nWhat a joke.

As an Pakistani American, Indians in the US do very well. The ones coming to the US are professionals mostly. The Indian community does not always mingle though. But in reality waiting 250 days for an interview is ridiculous. I sure hope this does not have something to d with incoming administration and racist dog whistles.

This is India Govt problem. Modi president made His 2 friends rich Ambani and Adani, those peiniaed to sace his position ti be a Prine minister suckinh poor people blood like note bandit and snatching middle class people jobs pkus winning election distributing funds among poor people those are poor due to Modi Govt. India need Prine minister like Rahul Gandhi who did loss of work walk around all states to awaken people those were sleeping. Due to big Population and corruption of Govt no one can get ahrad except Gujaratis and Dourh Indian plus Panjabis due to their support system.\n\nNew election.\nPopulation control \nAwaking people \nUnity among all religions.\nNo Hindu or Muslims and thise fights due to political pressures they should be jails for 5 yrs prison.\n\nModi ji is uneducated plus his history in 2002 everyone knows. Gujarstis are very powerful in USA since arrivrd 40 plus yrs back tgen brought illegals to hrlp them build their life. In the Patel community, there is unity just like the Pakistani community. Die to that thry can achieve any goal. Other states induans should learn lessons.\nPlus, the USA Govt should have a quota according to India population. Since USA Govt focus is Africa and Afghan and so on, tgere sgoukd be quota according to States how much they can take in under Asylums since there are many murders and crime in India and USA plus Canada can help them. India Govt should build good relationships with USA Govtvwhich is a must.

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.

1. After Marriage going to usa and expecting citizenship to new born baby without proper paperwork which is illegal.\n2. Going on Student visa coming back to after 1 or 2 year then getting married Indian taking wife to USA and having idea to settle there with the baby is also illegal.\n3. Iam an indian and proud be that here im not supporting usa im just telling that he is trying to develop the usa as he is the president of his country some indian went there and fighting for rights to settle there which is completely not acceptable.\n4. Moving Illegally and expecting citizenship is completely wrong and more over in usa indians are the most top prioritize people because we work very hrad for the needs of not only one for the whole family.\n5.Trump has taken this decision to develop his country and he will develop his own country no matter what. We are Indians we'll always will be because we are capable of doing some miracles by being in india because of the dollar power and reputation of usa doesn't mean that india has nothing but yes we have everything here. no problem people who got immigrated illegally can go to the other good countries with proper paperwork this time.

Its because of how most of the indians who visit to western countries (in fact even thailand) behaves. Stealing hotel toiletries, towels arrogant. I heard one tourist yelling at a restaurant in lake district UK as he is a <<caste name>> and won't bow down. Poor intern student english guy didn't get what he meant. Reputation is very bad for most of the countries to be honest.

Definitely, they wont leave Canada specially Indian students there is one I know she told me no matter what happened she wont leave Canada as she gets a lot of child benefits and refugees money from govt what a shame.

I am a UK citizen. I find it strange that Indian nationals claim to be 'proud' of their country, yet they all want to move elsewhere (UK, US, Canada, Australia etc). If their country is so great, then why do they want to keep going to other countries? And then there's the bureaucracy for those who want to visit destinations such as India. If India wants to impose endless paperwork and procedures to other countries, then it should expect the same. India was the one that started the childish tit-for-tat behaviour when the UK and Canada were restricting visa applications during the pandemic, so therefore India banned e-visa applications from Canadians and UK citizens. If India wants to behave like this, then why can't other nations? The UK is full of Indians who come here and don't want to integrate to our way of life etc, hence it's better for everyone if they just stayed in India.

Imagine if Chinese and Indians start migrating the same way to USA, In one year USA population will be DOUBLED!!! Trump is doing YES

Some days back you were flouting indian passport in England, now you are saying no one is letting you in ??

Justin Trudeau killed Canada. Indians have one huge issue which is anywhere they move, they move with their 14 generation.

Exactly a point of media advertising. The prinary reason for us being shunned is very high even in countries that she mentioned are friendly clou tries the locals there look down on Indians as we are considered messy and ones who cant keep our garbage in our pockets

Ms. Sharma went to Oxford and gave a cringeworthy performance about the supposed strength of Indian passport and how it is the envy of the word. So. didn't expect much substance from the propaganda spreading jingoistic journalist. She conveniently missed mentioning the real reasons why visa applications of Indians get rejected -\n1) Thousands of Indians go on tourists visas only to 'disappear' and never return. It doesn't just happen in Canada, US, UK, Aus but also welcoming countries like Thailand, UAE.\n2) Indian Visa (to visit India) itself is one of the most expensive and complicated to get for foreigners, so other countries have no incentive to make it easier for Indian citizens.\n3) Developed countries know that if they make it 'easier' for Indians to travel to their country, they will end up with tens of thousands who wont want to go back to India. It is already the case when its difficult to get a visa, imagine the situation if its made easier.\n4) Most of the Indian tourists fall under the mass category, they are not like the heavy spending Chinese tourists. We are not the most well behaved, so till we start getting more affluent, we wont be in as much demand.

It is indeed becoming more and more tiresome and all countries should shun the practice of demanding advance reservation of flights and hotels before applying for a visa. Indians are travelling more and spending more and these countries are just lining their pockets with illogical procedures. The beneficiaries are the countries hotels and transport agencies whose visa one has applied for a holiday as most of them do not provide refund. A sad state of affairs and a very negative attitude by the countries for a nation which is striding ahead and will soon become one of the most prosperous nation in the world.

Palki Sharma upadhya you are double faced lady you are the one who praised the indian govt. In london debate about holding Indian passport is an pride and respect getting at heathrow airport , a big shame on you a liar.

Because everyone one knows about indians........???

The only economic parameter that matters is per capita. India currently ranks 122nd in the world based in per capita (that too purchasing power included). India can be the largest economy in the world with a hopeless per capita. One day The Adanis, Ambanis and a few others will be worth 25 trillion USD themselves and India could be the largest economy in the world; yet 95% of its population will rank lower than 120th in the world. Nationalistic emotion can cloud one's judgement. Plus as an ex-Indian, here are things I see constantly - walking upto the edge of the platform to empty their noses, being obnoxious in public, spitting on the side of the road, talking to people about how the country they are in, looted India for centuries, and asking them to return the 45 trillion :D

I would like to discuss the challenges related to the waste and damage sometimes left behind by certain Indian immigrants. As a Dutch resident, I’ve noticed an increase in immigration from India to Holland, and one of the main concerns appears to be the difficulty in adapting to local norms and respecting community regulations. Over the past eight years, I’ve had different Indian families living in my apartment building, and unfortunately, I’ve observed a decline in hygiene standards within the apartments and the broader community

Someday Indian Passport will be number one and we will reject visas

?????. Your blind nationalism won’t help . Again news without research. North Indians have contributed a lot to Indians reputation in and outside the country. This is one of them. \nBla bla bla channel.

The time for getting a green card for Indians in USA is very long now. That may be one of the reasons.

Hasn't Indians already milked the hell out of America, Canada and UK ? Everyone sees Indians as opportunists, Indians don't have loyalty towards anyone but themselves. Being one of the largest immigrant community in western countries. Truly, how much revenue are these indians pumping into economy of these countries ? Hardly any.....cause most of their money goes to India. Yet they continue to depleting all the resources of the western countries.

It’s not western policies. It’s Indian behaviors. If you are so prod then why don’t you stay in India? Why are they all trying to leave? Countries have learned a lesson. You let in one Indian and tomorrow there two hundred thousand knocking at your door, and bringing with them backward traditions such as caste system.

I am Canadian. Indian students coming here and demanding PR and to bring all their family. NO. I do not work all my life and pay high taxes to support your grandparents!! I can't even afford to have one child because a good life is expensive but you can have babies and not pay for them? And stop SCAMMING everyone. Not a good look. Scamming especially your own people. deprived and perverse and zero integrity.

There are one Indian couple moved in my upstairs apartment two weeks ago.since then I just couldn’t sleep at night cus they are making so much noises for hours constantly every night . I never heard that much of noises in my life and I’m so pissed and they are so selfish and cares no one else . Totally a nightmare . What can I do to change this situation.????????

There's only one reason - ZERO Civic Sense. Sabse ghatiya behaviour rehta hai Indians tourists ka bahar. Money can take you places but Money can't buy you class, civic sense and politeness, is very accurate in this case.

I mean as someone who has worked on the other side of things (as in deporting) the comprehension level of Indians at the immigration counter is appalling they would be asked one thing and all they would answer is but I have hotel bookings and return flight tickets… and this is not a language barrier as I interpret the interviews live…. Like why are you not listening to what is being asked? You guys need to work on your comprehension skills that’s all - Respectfully a fellow Indian.\n\nPS: Pro-tip from an insider every country just wants rock solid assurance that anyone coming in on a temporary visa would go back to their respective countries. Prove that. Simple. ?

JUST BECAUSE THE WEST IS USING INDIA TO STOP THE RISE OF BRICS OR FINANCING INDIAN ANTI CHINA HATE AND PROPAGANDA DOES NOT MEAN YOUR WESTERN MASTERS WANT YOU INDIANS IN THEIR NATIONS.. SORRY INDIA THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA..THE CHINESE KNOW THEY ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE WEST SO THEY DEVELOPED THEIR NATION WHERE WESTERNERS ARE FLOCKING TO CHINA. NO ONE RESPECTS A NATION WHERE 75 % OF THE POPULATION IS LIVING IN HELLISH POVERTY AND OPEN DEFECATION IS THE NORM. STOP DEMANDING THAT OTHER NATIONS TAKE IN YOUR OVER POPULATED POPULATIONS.YOU GUYS ARE CELEBRATING THE WORLDS LARGEST POPULATION, THEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR PEOPLE.

25 million Indians travelled outbound, no one came back ?

I just love it,,, i mean i just love it when we get a reality check,, i have been to 20 countries for studies, for work and as a toursit , i didnt face any visa rejection (maybe bcos my documents and funds were good) but boy o boy i just saw the behaviour of mostly hindi belt guys who go to Visa free countries like malaysia, bali, thailand and what horrible behaviour, they will spit around, drink pass lewid comments on foreigners and local ladies, try to bargain it was such an embarrassment, there were people chanting religious slogans near burj khalifa making reels, recently i visited georgia and some gujrati family was asking for seperate vegetarian cooked meals in an authentic georgian restaurant,, they were talking like they owned that place.\n\nI left india for studies in 2000 and came back in 2013, but during this time the indians were well behaved abroad and followed the rules,, maybe post smartphone era and the so called Godi media all have got a false feeling that we have become some vishwaguru just look at our comments on any videos on youtube instagram which are critical of us.\nThere was a news on one Lapdog Godi channel that Trump is crying infront of our PM that we help him in LA fires,, such shameless and bigoted lies will make any dimwit person think we are the greatest,\nIts high time we should start retrospecting our online as well as social behaviour.

If all these countries approve 100% Indian visa applicants, the whole country of India will be empty in one month.

Too many Indians trying to move abroad. Just because India’s economy is rising doesn’t give you passport to move abroad. We don’t want Indians in US from sub standard universities. We don’t want Indian workers to cut American workers. Stay back in your country. No one from US or EU is trying to relocate to India

Why does not she say that it's our behavior that is causing this, all arrogant indian around the world has created a very bad picture of India, this includes Paalki as well. I though she was a new reporter didn't know she was a fake one.!!

One talented Indian +1000 scams to want scammburg

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
