Imagine you have your family, including small kids and older parents in your home and had one extra room for rent, you put ads out in the paper and interview some people for the spot, but while you are doing that, someone walked in your door and put all their things in your the room and then expected you to totally be cool with it. Anyone in their right mind, would be frustrated, even if that person was really nice and and said they'd pay rent. Any sane person would say, leave, go through the interviews, background checks, and then we'll see if it works out. It's not that you don't want to help them, but you have an order and a procedure that is in place for many reasons. \n\nImmigration is the same. It's not that the administration is anti-immigrant. We welcome ANYONE to come, you just need to come through the approved channels.

Nobody is going to want to take back these people!! Criminals are first so we need to figure out what else to do with them!!!

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

RESIST AND SAY NO TO TRUMP! We need to get him OUT! If this isn't a dictator, I don't know what is! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!??

Maybe the people of Columbia need to think of their government

Dude, seriously that is not doing the US bidding. The United States is doing its own bidding. They need to take their people back. This is what we voted for. Watch your words.

Do people need to stay up to date? The Colombian so-called president has already folded. He's sorry. Please bring them back. Stay up with your local news. Oh that's right. Fake news right?

President Trump can you come\nOver to my house and really talk you want to do about LGBT please, I know you not about gay people but you are very specific about other stuff….. nothing to do about that conversation but really need to know what’s going on. Hopefully I will hear from you. Tks

We can get them some where else.lmao or we don’t need them. Take your own people back! We’re only sending Colombians to Colombia. lol stupidity

I wish Trump was in his 50s. We need him for a lot longer than 4 more years. The constitution is not written in stones. We can have an amendment that would give Trump as many years as we the people want.

All countries need to be charged for their people

Those who are opposing this would rather suffer crimes from these illegal criminals than let Trump do what he needs to do. This would not have happened if the president they elected did not have an open border policy. The people who voted for Biden can also be blamed for this.

Why CNN should fight with US Govt administration instead of supporting it ?. It helps people to take CNN seriously when CNN report something negative and real problem that need attention of the world.

Actions have consequences. Colombia needs to welcome back their illegal aliens. Come on, Colombia, they're your people.

What we need to do is completely cut off any financial aide the United States pumps into their country! You dont want to take back your own people, ,,we are NOT giving you an American cent!

Trump supporters don't give af, they don't care, the only thing they care about is if he offends people they hate, that's it, they'll spend $20 on a loaf of bread if needed, gas can be $20 per gallon, they don't care, they're waiting for him to attack black and brown people, that's their food and fuel.

No one in South America is an enemy of the USA! The Republican party needs to contain President Trump's aggressive actions because people are suffering violence on planes by Guards.

Not the responsibility of struggling Americans to take care of other countries or people fleeing from them. We are not their slaves. We have enough homeless already and not enough homes and the last thing we need to do is destroy more land to make more cities for all these immigrants. More cities means more polution, no way around it. We cant absorb the whole world and we're already past the point of living in balance with the llanet naturally.

People need to fix their own country. N live in it

THIS IS INSANE. WE DO NOT NEED THIS IN OUR COUNTRY WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY HOMELESS AMERICANS TO DEAL WITH. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO BREAK OUR LAWS TO GET IN THE COUNTY.... THEY WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO BREAK THEM ONCE THEY ARE HERE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND OBVIOUSLY LIVE IN A PLACE THAT IS TERRIBLE ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM RUSH OUR BORDERS HOWEVER... THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE... ALSO WE KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RELEASE OF THE PRISONS IN THOSE SOUTH AMERICAN AND CENTRAL AMERICAN PRISONS WHERE THEY TOLD THE PRISONERS AND MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES THAT IF THEY CAN GET ACROSS THE AMERICAN BORDER THEY WILL BE FREE AND THEY WERE SHIPPED TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER AND GIVEN FREE SHOT AT A LIFE IN AMERICA AND NOT IN PRISON.... WHAT WOULD YOU DO???? YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET ACROSS THAT BORDER ALSO

You cannot enter an independent territory illegally and not be prepared to be deported. \nInstead of encouraging people to come in we need to hold those corrupt Latin American governments accountable that push people out of their land.

Taxi drivers from Singapore people from india are very rude and arrogant. I reckon they need to act that way, so people wont take advantage of them.i reckon.

Such a shame not being wanted is devastating we don't know what they go through in their country. But I agree they need to learn to stand up for their country and help each other create work for each other and provide for each other by sharing their food their vege gardens crops. Come on people learn to support yourselves in your own country.❤❤❤

Most people genuinely need help. But it's the criminals that have ruined it for them. They need to blame them.

Why do they want to be where they are not wanted? They will only live in fear of deportation. I think all of Europe and the West need to pull all aide to tbese countries. They dont care about the people whos countries they invade.

We just want ballenced and fair immigration. We want people with similar vaules and customs. We want people with education. Wr dont need to have immigration for Subway and Tim Hortons workers. We want doctors. India has very different values and customs we dont want or aappreciate. They have no pubic sanitation but have a space program. They also have a very disrespectful culture towards women

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

As a Brit I know many decent integrated Indians here. But none of them are recent arrivals. Older immigrants were respectful and wanted to be British and adopt British ways. But newer immigrants act as if we owe them something while acting in disrespectful dirty disgusting ways. For example in India I have to use Indian toilets as Indians do. I don’t pretend I don’t understand how to use them, I don’t need instructions on the door and I don’t break the toilet by standing on it, shytting up the walls and all over the floor and leave it there like that’s normal. I’ve worked in offices where this was routine when Indian contractors were brought in. Integrated Indian men seem to take great pride in dressing smartly and smelling good. But it’s really common for Indians to smell REALLY BAD. Poor personal hygiene plus excessive amounts of Indian food (you’re abroad ffs try some different food!) creates a truly vile odour. Some Indian men also think it acceptable to stare at and harass British girls (although to be fair they do not have as bad a reputation as their neighbours) they are also rude and racist to white people especially women. Some Indians in 2025 still seem to think they’re living under the Raj and Britain is ‘oppressing’ them. They’re not and we’re not. The empire brought benefits to India and left peacefully over 70 YEARS ago. We don’t owe you ANYTHING. This victim mentality means India will NEVER be a proper first world country. You can flood the world with sheer numbers but you will never be respected or improve the world in any way, you will only ever leech off the invention of others. I do not mean to disrespect the many decent Indian people I’m just telling the truth. As a culture your presence outside of India is negative because of the way so many Indians act, trying to create India wherever they go. And they have the cheek to say this is ok because they got colonised. WELL SO DID WE! That is the truth.

Just wait a second, here’s an idea why don’t we as a nation stop welfare start eliminating it slowly get the people off the system get them to work, replace the workers with a lower paying jobs and give them an up grade to a higher paying job with the necessary skills they need to get a higher paying job, and so on let’s get Canadian people back to work. Let’s start looking after Canadians first, really Canadians be self sufficient not reliant on other countries just saying

God what a mess. I can see why Trumps putting Americans first- and it’s changing the game on immigration - so sad these people feel they need to leave their home country as they have no hope because their useless leaders are corrupt and dangerous - the UN and all these other big organisations have failed dismally and only serve the well paid bureaucrats who prop them up…. Look at the faces of those desperate people- heartbreaking. But America shouldn’t have to be their only solution.

Theses people need to go home

Twenty years ago in Toronto, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for around $700 a month. Today, a similar apartment costs between $2,500 and $3,000 per month. The government should regulate housing market investments to prevent the pursuit of profits at the expense of ordinary people. \nWith the large influx of immigrants of all kinds, there is increasing pressure on families and individuals to rent or buy housing. For instance, in one neighbourhood, a house has been fitted with two bunk beds per room, with the owner charging $500 to $700 per bed. One can only imagine how many people live in that house and what it looks like in the summer when everyone gathers in the backyard. \nIf the government fails to regulate immigration to align with the real needs of the economy and housing market, what’s next? May people be forced to rent a bed for just eight hours of sleep or resort to living in sheds or makeshift plastic tents on the streets? \nAnd when the economy takes a downturn, leaving people with no income, what will happen then?

These entitled violent people need to learn a lesson and go home looking forward to the military being deployed and the state department stop funding this

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.

We have WAY too many problems in our country and need to get strong again. Trump is right! The American people are right! This has to stop. Those people aer wrong to do that.

I will not entered another country this way ever!! This is terrible, I know things are tough all over the world but thinking that the US it's the answer its just wrong! People need to wake up!

Im tired of them trying to run over here, and our people need helped first, this is making me mader by the min like they are privileged and got it like that

Lived in Canada for almost 40 years. Worked in USA for 5 years 25 years ago. I did make a lot more money in USA then, luckily, I was in my 20s and almost never seen a doctor in my 5 years in the USA. \nThank God I didn't get into any accident while there. \n\nIn general, I observed many people in the USA are not good neighbors. Simple observation, ex you drive and merge into a lane in a busy SF Bay Highway you need to fight hard to get into a lane. In BC, Canada, merging lanes is very orderly, each vehicle takes turn merging into a lane one entering from one lane and then another vehicle from another lane with respect and consideration. \nIn the USA, I think it is this brutal mentality translates into policy in health care and education, you are not responsible to help your community in any way and take while you can for yourself.

Someone should tell them we the American people are tired of this\nDid they not get the message that we are not giving them everything free again?\nThey’re gonna come into this country with nothing and then rob us because we’re not gonna give them anything so wrong they don’t need to be here \nJust saying

Go back we American people have our own problems, Mexico government needs to be held accountable as well

I hope Trump arms every single one of those border agents and gives them all immunity if they need to use them. I am sick of this. We have plenty of homeless and sick people here that the government cares less about. I hope Biden rots in hell.

Canada doesn't have enough housing and enough jobs for its own people. They need to go.

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money

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.

Skilled Labour ?! When does working at Walmart or TImmy's skilled ? We don't need these people filling 90 percent of all of the service sector jobs (At least here in Windsor) that native canadians of all creeds and colours have effectively been denied from for the last 8 years.

Why don't these people try and make their country better? All these single men need to grow a pair and fight like all of the young men that gave their lives for this country. This is bs that Biden has allowed this.

As an NRI for a decade in Germany, I can assure you that not a single person in the developed western world looks at India with a nicer opinion. They think of it as a necessary baggage. They will only allow Visa on Arrival/E-Visa for people whom they respect and would like to be in the country. While I do not want to get into how some Indians behave when they are on their EU trip, Indians in India do not behave well too. This involves hygiene, roads, infrastructure, intelligence, corruption, etc. Indians tend to look at the Indian flag with tears in their eyes while listening to A.R. Rahman’s “Vande Mataram” with Bharat Bala’s video. But the reality in the western world is this: India is a loud, messy, unhygienic, poorly organized country filled with corruption and crime everywhere. Now, why would a well-developed country open their doors to potentially unruly 1.4 billion people? The reason for visa rejection is that a lot of them simply apply for a tourist visa and never leave. If someone really needs to travel, they will have the money and the motivation to apply multiple times. Hence, the first check with multiple layers of bureaucracy.

We have NO doctors, NO houses and NO jobs for youth employment. We need to see 2-3 million people leave this year and no replaced in our population.

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.

Who ever Illigalmigrant need to thing about twices U nited State is not beter life is thesafe life for people none country
