Great idea brodcasting that the Canadian border service is now short 2000 officers . Welcome to Canada?

How sad is this? The cruelty is beyond belief and she isn’t even ashamed of herself. And to pretend that these people could just apply legally is ludicrous. When this lady came immigrants were still being welcomed. All you had to do was apply and wait. It’s not so easy now. Trump has spread so many lies and so much hatred that immigrants are hated. Regulations are draconian and will just get worse. Trump has said he will split up families and jail or execute immigrants if they try to get back to their families. That Americans accept this cruelty, has completely destroyed my respect for them. I used to think Americans had some bad people but the majority were good.even with the evidence that they refuse healthcare for all and decent gun control to protect children. I thought they just hadn’t realized how effective these policies are. But now it’s blatantly obvious that they don’t care about poor people or disabled or sick people. They don’t care about the elderly or the health and safety of pregnant women. They just want more for themselves and are too dumb to realize that the way to get more is to work together and help each other.

What other countries on this planet welcome illegal immigrants? Doing things illegally should NEVER be embraced.

Great! Canada is literally the hub for international refugees, including USA does not want ‘refugees’. The truth is that Canada does not even have medicine! Tons of identified and unidentified viruses… welcome to the squid game country.

fix your own countrys..if you pay tax and have a great job here...good..you can do it back in your own countrys..thanks your not welcome here

Welcome to America's nightmare

Wow ma'am. I don't understand it. If anyone should be welcome here because their ancestors were here its your family. We remember what we want to. This country was birth thru immigrants from all around the world.

She doesn’t even understand how the policy works when someone is deported. The person has to apply and it could take 5-20 years with an attorney to try to come back to their families. It’s costly and not guaranteed. It’s tragic and dystopian that families are turning against one another. Welcome to Fahrenheit 451/Brave New World. She better start saving for her attorney because “legal status” is not part of the 2025 agenda.

Welcome to the 05/03/1933.\nGod have mercy on our's soul.?

Canada is the same as USA. We don't want them. So ya Trudeau will welcome them!

Get to Massacusetts. Governor Maura Healy will not deport illegals. She says illegals are safe here in Massacusetts. Come one come all. The Governor is opening her home to all illegals. Get to Arlington Massacusetts in a hurry before Trump picks you and your family up and deports you. It’s all free for you in Massacusetts. Food clothes shelter medical dental glasses and yes debt cards. It’s all on the Massacusetts tax payer says Governor Healey. Even tattooed face gang members rapist thieves child traffickers all welcome. Oh by the way Cambridge Massacusetts the home of Harvard University MIT and Senator Elizabeth Warren borders Arlington. Beautiful place be sure to visit or stay as long as you want. Enjoy Harvard square.?

We welcome refugees not criminals and gang members pretending to be refugees

Please leave. You are not welcome.

You are not welcome here !

Dana, the look on your face reflects deep sadness and concern about the 15 million illegal immigrants facing deportation. You know, you can go down to the immigration office and file sponsorship papers for a couple of them and welcome them into your home if that would ease some of the pain you're feeling—but I have a feeling you won't.

If your illegal GTFO now! If you came legally we welcome you with open arms brothers n sisters! Honest latinos are great ppl!

I can definitly see a country that will welcome migrants who have committed crimes in the US... that will have great results, like UK migrants deportation to Rwanda...

Welcome to our world

On behalf of all Canadians, you and your family are now disowned. You are not welcome back here ever again .byeee ?

Well, you could move to the USA. LOL! No background check , no screening! \nOpen boarders and free everything to illegal immigrants! Criminals welcome!

Welcome to Nazi America.

Welcome illegals! Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal... they would love to have you. They vote for it all the time.

we are doomed welcome to the destruction of the land of the free

So Mexico is going to welcome all those at the border? Is Trump going to build camps? Camps to concentrate people in?

Many people have commented here to change India and make it livable instead of dreaming of Canada but let me tell you, ideally it is very welcoming and patriotic thought to make India top class country in the world in all respect but keeping current politicians standards, democratic model and caste & religion discrimination, it is next to impossible to implement changes. China has done despite massive population because it has hidden dictatorship and there are no inside traitors. Many entities within and outside India are doing their level best to break and shake India. \n\nI am from Canada, I just arrived in India on vacation. It disturbed me a lot to see trash and garbage everywhere ( especially on Kurla-Andheri-Mankhurd) on the streets from Mumbai airport, the town planning, landscape, traffic, road quality, people's civic sense (and many more things to mention) are in worst shape which is not a sign of good quality life. Especially when you enjoy lavish, luxurious, clean hygienic, sustematic life style abroad, you naturally tend tobe fascinated with that country, no matter how much patriotic you're. Somewhere people make the problem, somewhere government or governing bodies and somewhere both. \nForeign visitors must be experiencing what I experienced. That is why we Indians are always become victims of hate and criticism abroad.

Canada is welcoming to all

Wait, the last 5+ years the Liberals have been telling me that having any concerns about unfettered immigration and not welcoming anyone who “claimed asylum” with open arms made you a racist xenophobe. So I guess once you poll numbers drop low enough and you’re in danger of finally getting your corrupt keister kicked out of power you actually start taking the concerns of your citizens to heart.

Illegals are not welcome, and one of the basic requirements of a country is to protect it borders. My wife and my son-in-law are immigrants..... legal. They have earned educations and professions, the contribute to the tax base and society, and they appreciate what they have earned. Immigration is a cenetrpiece of this country, when done right. If Canada wants the illegals, I'm sure the US will be happy to deliver them. But I believe most Canadians don't, and we are only hearing a few airheaded corner cases, similar to what is being deleted from our national consciousness right now.

We in Canada must never allow illegal people of any kind or situation to enter Canada.Those who attempt to cross our borders must be sent back to where they came from if they do not meet the legal requirements to enter.If that means engaging our military to enforce the laws then that is what should used.People who break laws are not welcome and should under absolutely no circumstances be allowed to set foot into Canada,period!!.

Yes, come to Canada and you'll never have to leave and Trudeau will give you money, housing and phones! Welcome to Canada!!

Trudeau will welcome all terrorists with open arms and bounties ...hahahhaa.. our PM is so kind with crimes and criminals !!!

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.

What's a green card? Lol just kidding. If she came here and has a green card, she's not Mexican American. She's just an immigrant. Not a good example. Not all Rodriguez, Diaz, Lopez, Perez, Gutierrez are immigrants. Dont go by last name. My last name tells you Im Latina but this Latina was born n raised in NYC. From parents who came to this country through legal channels and met here. Worked here, died here. Same as Mr Trump who is a Queens, NY boy. It's not rocket science. You are here illegally then go back to your country of origin and reapply. Come in the right n legal way. There is nothing wrong with that. Welcome people who obey laws. Who obey immigration laws. Those are the people who will be productive here. You coming in like a bandit, with no papers, no documents, no sense of direction then that's cause for concern.

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

France take back the statue of Liberty.We no longer can welcome you with open arms.

15 mm people you dubiously claim you know the identity of, sorted by criminals or no, who by the way don't want to be caught and will actively evade or resist some unknown set of law enforcement assets that will forever be grossly outnumbered. Republicans, welcome to your new 50 year war on drugs plan. This fiasco will barely survive one presidential term and die under its own weight of stupidity.

I don’t support criminals, but I DO support immigration. Don’t be afraid ppl. You’re all welcome . It’s the “Land of the Free”. it’s not their land either. lol. it’s all a business for the republicans and for orange little man.. ? I approve this message!! ?

I thought California were welcome still. Nice liberals.

They'll leave before inauguration. Canada is completely welcoming.

He’s got his mandate, a country of laws, enter legally, everyone welcome? LEGALLY is the key word here?

Very good ma'am nice 4 it experience 4 share & welcome in our India ❤?

Trudeau will welcome them all and give them free dental

They have no claim as they came into US illegally and their home countries aren’t at w@r .Truduh is about to welcome 20 million and give them $4000 dollars of our own tax money all for votes ?

Canada welcomes all illegal immigrants \nBring it on Trump\nClean up the US from all that trash. \nTrump is the best President they ever had

Not welcome in canada.

With Trump, Canada is no safer. They better extend their move further. The Russian and Chinese ships that recently travelled the border in Alaska must have had a reason. Looking where best to build a base? Trump would no doubt welcome that. Canada has always been in Trumps cross hairs ever since Malanoma flirted with Justin. Our government officials should stop acting like toddlers and prepare the country for the worst. If they don’t work together, we are toast.

This has been going on for years. Also used and abused by thousands of Indians. That needs to end . No more welcome mat.

Close rhe border. Refugees are not welcome .

We are full to capacity. I know canada is seemed as a peaceful and welcoming nation but their are limits to our country, and we hit them years ago. You need to find another place to stay.

“Braces”?? Don’t you mean roll out the welcome mat with tons of taxpayer money as a free gift ..? Like Trudeau would ever turn them away .. he wants a seat on the UN too badly for that.
