All your reasonings for Indian not getting visas are invalid or self serving for your Indian middle class Angrezi viewers. \n\nIndia, as U say, in the aggregate is indeed rising. But Indians — both padh and unpadh — have NOT risen and are NOR rising in tandem with India’s rise. \n\nWe see it all the time in places where Indians live in large numbers as in New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, the Bay Area… …\n\nMany Indians, even techies with all kinds of information on their finger tips when they sit in front of their computer screens, are unprepared on the local culture, ethos and traditions and history, just because thay have a loooong list buddies and relatives in their e-Rolodex on the day they land here. Their lack of curiosity in the local land is astounding. \n\nSecondly, getting rejected for visa is routine in many countries. They don’t haveto give you ANY reason why they reject your visa, no matter how well placed or well connected you are in India. \n\nIn my own case, I graduated from UC Berkeley, a premier internationally known school with in engineering with a PhD in 1984. Decades ago. \n\nMy education at Berkeley was ENTIRELY on scholarships and fellowships and fee waivers. \n\nMy family was not the so-called urban middle class living in 1, 2, and 3 BHK flats in urban India., or of land lords or of mid level bureaucrats, or judges or in the Indian corporate babudom . \n\nWe were from what is called in the US as working class. In India the terminology would be more offensive, “lower class.” \n\nFor my graduation, I applied for my mother’s visa (my mother, who became a widow at 39, raised us under great difficulties with a meager pension of INR 350. She had not gone to school beyond 5th grade and she had no ancestral property, not even a red brick in her ancestral home. \n\nMy mother’s visitor visa was rejected and to this day — I am in my 70s now — it hurts me that she was not present when I received my PhD at Berkeley, one of the top-rated int’l universities. They rejected her visitor visa probably because she had nothing to show as her assets in her application. \n\nBut later. with me getting a job here as a research engineer in a large corporation, my mother visited the US five times. \n\nNot only that, even my older brother and sister in law got a ten-year multiple entry visitor visa when the came for my daughters wedding. \n\nThe point I am trying to make to your mostly upper middle class internationally well connected viewers is that visas are ALWAYS a privilege, never a right, no matter how well placed and well connected in your home country. And how well versed you are in Angrezi and how good you are in your Angrezi accent, partly British and partly Amreeki. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman.

It is just teaching a Lesson Never depend upon other people other nations especially USA Let us Make India the Best let us develop Make in India welcomes my dear deported illegal immigrants love our country let us contribute to our Motherland India

We’re such a horrible country yet people continue to come\nThings that make you go hmm ?

Did they bomb or terrorise to have chains like slaves or criminals ? I have been to India Switzerland and Russia twice but would think twice to visit or relocate to worst countries in the world both noted for invading colonizing slaughtering plundering. Stealing land from native American and others and making their own yet doing this it Is America or the BRITISH one and the same people

They need to make a change in their own country before trying to go illigaly or legally into another country.

Stay out of my Country! Fix your own . Get rid of your corrupt politicians. Fight for your Country and make it right for you , just like we did in 1776. Thankyou Pres Donald J Trump. You are the true leader.. and good riddens to Biden. You tryed to ruin the USA. Shame on you!!!

Would you allow 10 or more people to settle in your living room , stop the bullshit of making people that invade a country look like victims , DEPORT the lot .

If indians are soooo bright why are the rushing to other countries stay in India and make it great again.

And they're going to keep coming over here and destroying our country till our country looks like theirs and that's what makes me mad they've already wrecked their country so now they want to wreck ours with it

It is specially difficult to afford life in the coutry they are in when most of the money they are earning they send it all back to India . They live working and looking for money to make life better in India . Many Indians are not really settleling or planning a future in Canada or USA their country that they think of as home is India .

Can you blame them. The previous administration offered a premium benefits package to any and everyone who wanted it. It was a literal freeforall. Now that a non globalist, non(I'm just going to say it)ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT administration is handling the border of the US, these people are stunned. They are pissed off that the free ride is over. Chances are, President Trump would love nothing more than to do business with the countries sending these people. He would love to make deals that would strengthen their economy, give people a reason to live there. Maybe these leaders should bring something to the table other than droves of their own citizens complaining about how bad the situation has become in their home countries. We've already got enough of those here as it is. Sorry.

Ignoring America 's deportation orders! Make something of yourselves in your countries!

Makes us look like punks....for trying to be mice..we should b like the countries who make it clear Americans r not welcomed to there country ...QUITE B N NICE TO THESE PEOPLE....they r showing exactly how they really feel

This makes me sad because most of these people escaped their country because of the crime is so bad they come here to make a better life and you're going to send them back

TIMES XP is absolutely correct. \nPlease spread this message among Indians. \nCanada ?? has become a very difficult place to make a living, especially for immigrants. \nIt is the same with countries like the UK ??, USA ?? , Australia ?? & NZ. \nBetter that Indian think a thousand times before migrating to these countries.

Clearly protect our borders and citizens. \nPlus, don't come here if you are proud of your country first! Stay there and make it great again!\nDon't come here and ruin USA more than the liberals/democrats have done!\n?? USA ?? MAGA

If you love your country, you should fight for it! Make Canada great again! Save Canada for next generation!

Most Americans don't know that the trouble in Venezuela like most other countries south of our border, was more than likely caused by US interference. For decades our government has financed regime changes at the request of American corporations. Us companies take advantage of natural resources and cheap labor to get maximum profits at the expense of the other countries. Anytime politicians tried to look out for the best interest of their country and people, we financed any opposition that would disrupt their government from enacting change. Our tax dollars. Then, when immigrants come up because of poverty and violence, who can blame them? We all would do the same. Decades of under-funding immigration services and courts make it a years long process that most can't afford to wait for. America is a huge country. We have room. They aren't talking your job. And the vast majority are not criminals. But, the wealthy and powerful people need you to be distracted and have a scapegoat for you to blame for everything. Quit idolizing the wealthy. That includes either party.

There are a number of African countries accepting people already from EU. This will make it easier for them to return.

I’m sorry that they can’t make a living in their own country but when you come into my country. Without promotion. Then you’re braking the law.

If your country is bad enough to make you want to flee, why do so? Every country has had to struggle. Even here in the US horrible things have happened to it's citizens. You cannot run from your problems. They must be solved, one way or another. The US had a civil war. It was horrible, though you could argue the outcome was good. If you live in a country, you have a duty to be a part of that country. Whether that means voting, partaking in social norms, etc., you are a part of that. It is not another country's problem if that turns out being bad. If the majority of a country installs or allows in one way or another a horrible governing party or group to run things, it is their fault and theirs alone. Like sticking your hand into a hot pan, there are consequences. This will get bad before it gets good. Hopefully it ends good.

What crazy people, they should the same in their own country to make a change.

If they used half that energy and will power, they had to make that walk from South America to America’s borders to fix their own countries they probably be more advanced than us

Black American, born to an indigenous black American and a LEGAL immigrant from Guyana, who served 13 of 20 of his years in the military on a green card before being sworn in as an American. I FULLY support this. I could not possibly care less about your colour or nationality. If you're here illegally, go home and either make your country better, or come back LEGALLY AND CONTRIBUTE once you get here. Period.

I want ibrahim to welcome African back to Africa with it Burkina ?? faso being developed so to make more leader in Africa do more for it citizens like ibrahim tore in Burkina ?? faso so the people don't to leave there country

This shit is so pathetic like what in your actual mind thinks you can just walk to another country and just bust the doors down and you’re now part of the country. These people need to fuck off. I’m sorry I do have sympathy, but they need to fight hard to fucking better their own countries instead of trying to swarm ours and make our country worse.

I love all people, but those Venezuelan immigrants are screwing up the city that I live in, and making it unbearable. Let them fight to fix their own damned country.

Those r not Indians those r North Indians… south Indians r highly educated n work there through company transfers… even in south India North Indians r not welcomed… we never even rent our houses to them… but my pity u gave ur entire Canada to them…. I lived in Canada for 4 yrs… one thing I realised ur system is so full of loop holes… make visa interview a mandatory like US so that these Hindi speaking ppl don’t enter ur country.. I refused to be there because it’s just north India… ?

Make sure they arrive back in their homeland, and not heading for another country illegally!??

Trump is making their country better, super.

If you love our countries policies so much go back and make yours the same

Be Proud of one Own country ,whether its small, Big ,undeveloped or well developed, no matter Where one r Born....theres is A way..its one up to believe Whether one cañ Do it..n make it happens...\nsometimes its never Greener on other side..

People think it's money that makes you rich. That's today's stupidity. The real riches are what you're able to provide such as unlimited resources and minerals energy, power, oil and gas. When you have an unlimited supply of these riches with only 40 million people in your country. ??? I would consider that as being the richest country in the world

I’m an Indian and I can say it without any hesitation that Indians shitty and you guys are absolutely right that Indians should be adapting your culture instead they are bringing our culture there and making a shittiest place to live. My dream was to live in US and Canada or UK so I don’t have to face Indians and I’m so late for that this idiots have made this countries worst for not only locals but also people who really deserve to be there.

Lets keep i real. The desire that most immigrants have is homeostasis which is the familiar. All humans do this. Individually indians are usually smart and decent people. But in groups ( and this doesnt just include indians) you get this group thinking that is prejudice against anyone who isnt one of their own. Im fairly certain its a good demonstration of what a different culture would experience in their own country. This is especially noticeable in markem with the Chinese population. \n\nLet me say this loud and clear. We didnt let you come here so you could start your own countries inside of our country. And beleive me, your gunna get rocked and put in your place if you guys keep coming here and being disrespectful. That goes for the any culture who is putting themselves first at the expense of other Canadians, and im not talking about white canadians im talking about all Canadians from anywhere. We re all equal and you will not be allowed to position your selves in a way that gives you immunity to these values. \n\nIm getting really tired of going into business like tim hortons and knowing what the nationality of the owner is by just looking around at the staff who work in fhe business. We let you have a seat at our table to break bread with us in a mutually benifital relationship. But what is pretty evident is that a lot of these people dont like us and if it was up to them we wouldnt exist. They fail to behave in a way that acknowledges the truth. That the family whos heritage is of this land, built this house that your living in. With our low corruption goverments , our clean drinking water, our free health care and education system, with our opportunities that make it possible through merit and hard work that it doesnt matter what family or where you were born. These are attractive features of canada that play a role in why people want to come here. And leave where they were. Its it logical to think that you have more to learn about us then we do of you? Not being on some selfish punk shit is canadas greatest strength. Its that same inclusives mentality that keep the government corruption very small which empowers the citizens to make them successful and able to contribute more back into this system. The very nature of hoarding resources for ones family, same culture, etc are the same oppressive situations many of these people left their countries to seek better opportunities. But once given those opportunities and a chance to decide for themselves, a lot of these people use their liberties to create exclusion and hostility toward out groups. The indians do this in a very overt in your face way, the chinese are more polite about it but both have this way of looking out for their own and not being concerned with anyone else. As far as im conerned you should all be split up and dispersered to live in different provinces and cites. I know this isnt realitic but it would save them from what a lot of them are gunna end up be exposed to which is experiences with native born Canadians who are going to very rudly show you what happens when you disrespectf someone in their own home. \n\nThe party is over. You people need to start being Canadian and care about Canadians like you care about your own culture or get the fuck out!

I have 0 sympathy for these people putting chilrden in danger, make your own country better work hard.. weak parents

What difference does it make what gender a soldier is or was? If a person dedicates one’s life to protecting our country, I don’t care if that soldier is an alien!

UK I understand because the country belongs to the whites by virtue of their existence from the beginning. But US, Canada, Australia are countries formed by immigrants from other parts of the world. Wondering what makes the white racist bigots think these countries belong to them? The poor natives of these lands like the red indians, aborigines have no say and have been killed by these white devils.

Order Out Of Chaos. \nThe world looks on, criticising Trump, throwing around silly slurs such as far right, accusations of racism.\nDeep down they know this is needed, deep down even the haters know that this is to protect our women, our culture and our homes.\nDon’t ever make the mistake of making this about race, it’s about common sense and the insanity of allowing millions of poor people to simply walk in to affluent countries because they feel like it.\nI hope this is the beginning of the end of this utter madness.

Cry your illegal eyes out boo hoo hoo. Americans are sick of you coming here and just taking and taking. Go back and make your countries better. Thank you ICE and President Trump! ??♥️??

This makes me sick. If they are this strong go fix their own country.

They come to America wanting free Healthcare..jobs. housing..and yet we have US veterans in the streets without any help..and even homelessness..go back to your country and make it better ...we had enough with ilegal aliens..its time to clean house...

Stop making babies to manage your country better. Over population is the biggest culprit.

And you think with all the financial funding the Mexican government is receiving from the Cartels. You think they would invest in their Country and make Mexico more stronger and prosperity. \nBut, not. More corruption and killing and power.

Nah fuck that, they stay in there country, us Americans don't even get money from the government to help us, but we get to pay taxes through our ass's and barley make paycheck to paycheck work

Canada and Mexico need to find other trade partners and have stronger relationships with other countries and start trading with each other stop relying on America for everything just because they are closer start trading with Denmark . Canada in general get along better with other countries better then America America will end up suffering not Canada . When you start treating your trading partners bad it only affects America in the end ….. Canada will find other countries. We are not hated around the world …. They want to pick a fight with Canada then stop being so nice ?. As a Canadian it’s too stop relying on America for everything we have our own natural resources and trump wants them . Cut him out 100%. Let America be it’s on island time to start trading with other countries. Americans will end up paying MORE FOR ITS PICK UP TRUCK the jokes on them . Stop selling gas to the USA on a discount make them pay higher prices.

All that effort to run away from their problems instead of fixing it for future generations. The majority of those people are military age men. Go be men and face the problems your country has to make your nation better.

First, the US sanctions Venezuela because they don't like their president. (Talk about election interference done subtly). Due to this, their economy collapses because being a small country in the American continent, they are way too dependent on the US for their import exports.\nA bad economy makes crimes sky rocket in Venezuela, due to which every family that cares for their children, want to leave and come to a safe nation like the US, where they are denied entry.

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

Hope our president here in philippines gave balls to make our country produce what we need
