What is wrong with deportation of immigrants that didn't want to stand in line and seek asylum legally

Seek additional funding? Better not be from taxpayer dollars! I don't want to support this increase in asylum seekers! Canada is full!!!

Seal the border. We don’t need a bunch of criminals seeking asylum here. If they are in the US illegally, they are criminals

These aren’t asylum seekers you seek asylum in the closest country you don’t goto remote Canada which is half way around the world for most of the “asylum” seekers.

Persons fleeing a Fascist regime are not 'migrants'. They are refugees seeking asylum.

The only people in the United States who are not immigrants or descendants of immigrants are Native American Indians. So it's the height of hypocrisy and arrogance for these people to whine against immigrants. We also have a law that justly provides safe harbor for immigrants seeking refugee protection because they are fleeing their country of origin due to persecution, violence, victimization, etc. It is morally correct to receive them here without any mistreatment or demonization. It is prejudicial, inhumane, and unlawful to turn them away or deport them. Is the administrative system and process inefficient or faulty? YES, obviously. That's not an excuse to be derelict in our duty. Our obligation is to fix whatever is lacking or broken in our system, so that it functions properly, fairly, and rapidly, for anyone seeking either asylum, or ordinary immigration processing and approval.

Trump is going to deport illegal criminals and Venezuela gangs. Why would we let those people into Canada? I read that you can’t seek asylum if you’re coming from a country that is considered safe, like the U.S.

We should also prepare for American citizens seeking asylum as Trump is quoted promising political prosecutions as well.

Please leave we don't have enough homes, jobs and hope here. Don't even think of coming here. It's not the same as before 2018. It's sickening to see what's happening to our streets. Also, if you are planning to come to Study, then do that and leave. Don't seek asylum. Not only will you lose connection to your home in India but you will not find peace. Worst decision ever.

Lady that was the right way until trump came along. U have to be at the bordering country and seek asylum there. Good lawd woman

It is imperative to halt the surge of immigrants to Canada and the rise of deceptive tourism, especially since many individuals are primarily interested in seeking asylum rather than pursuing academic studies. They tend to opt for business management programs, which are the least expensive and allow for quicker entry, disregarding the true purpose of education. Some provinces have started to monitor the influx of international students from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Furthermore, tourists from these nations often fail to return home. In a similar vein, the United States has introduced a $4,000 charge for tourists, which is refunded when they depart back to their homeland.

Awesome! Canada would be a good place to seek asylum if Trump wins. We all have the right to flee or fight fascism.

Tell that old women that India is not dependent on Canada or any country. Our students have been paying millions to Canada. They are not seeking any asylum like Pakistanis.

What’s messed up is that she’s right, but wrong at the same time. She got lucky to only have to wait in line for days. What reason does she thinks her cousins, nieces, and nephews came here illegally for? It’s easier to seek asylum and work from there than to get a travel visa and apply and then just hope you don’t get deported or rejected. \n\nIt’s very telling when a yankee is interviewed and holds these sentiments- what kind of life they have lived. It isn’t out of the realm of imagination what situations many immigrants are coming from. Best case scenario they just lived paycheck to paycheck in an impoverished area. At least now they can live in an impoverished area where the government is only like 70% corrupt instead of 95% corrupt.

Why would Indian's be seeking asylum??

last week, five people from my local area in Bangladesh arrived in Canada, despite having no formal education. They paid around $10,000 to come here and are now seeking asylum, a process that costs them an additional $5,000. In Bangladesh, even in smaller rural areas, Canadian tourist visas are being openly sold, This situation reflects poorly on the current immigration system, and many of us, as international students, feel increasingly disillusioned. Canada no longer feels like the place we initially came to for higher education and personal growth.

They have the money to attend a an institution of hire learning in another country yet they want to seek asylum here? Horse puckies!

Enough is enough, shut the doors.\nThese students seeking asylum us a scam. Screening is nonexistent at the moment. We're overwhelmed with refugees, asylum seekers and the that want in. In the meantime canadians have been ignored and problems we currently face with only grow exponentially. Time is now to take action if we're going to able to salvage what's left of our country. Realistically we can't take in everyone so let's make the ones we do allow in bring skills that will help us.

100% Correct. Palestine people want to live free and save in the own land. Seeking asylum in other countries is allowing Israel to accomplish what they are trying to achieve. Shame on the Israeli government.

THEY CAME TO BE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, THEN SUDDENLY SEEK ASYLUM ... SEEMS ODD !

They applied as international students so obviously they were not in any danger to justify seeking asylum later on in Canada.

This in an invasion they are not here seeking asylum when they pushed each other to come in like that. And the democrats are giving them free everything to murder the us citizens just for votes

My family were refugees fleeing from the Vietnam war due to fear of communism and religious prosecution of being Catholic . We came to Canada in 1989. My parents had little to no money , they didn't speak english before. They work hard and did any menial labour job to support the family and help my siblings go to school. We lived here for over 30 years, integrated as Canadian citizens.\n\nIf their legit political asylum seekers or refugees seeking help thats fine. But I don't think its right for people to abuse and exploit the system to skip ahead in line for permanent residence/ citizenship and get free handouts from tax payers money.

They are seeking asylum from the massive debts they have accumulated in their country. Most were enticed by dubious immigration consultants to risk it all for an uncertain fate in Canada. I dont know what to tell them.....?

If they came on a student visa, they came in to study then go home...not seek asylum

Students should not be able to seek asylum. They're not in any danger.\n\nIt's a joke. A scam. Canada is impossible to live in due to the failure of our despicable govt.

Add one question for the student application……. Is there any reason you would seek asylum in Canada…yes or no….if yes state why. If no any future asylum claims will be denied.

Indians seeking asylum in Canada/USA? For being persecuted in India? What a joke. Canada should tightened its visa policy, especially student visas.

Why would you leave a beautiful country like Canada and seek asylum in another country where no peaceful future is guaranteed?

India may boast the title of the fifth-largest economy and house nearly a quarter of the world's population, yet one can't fathom the rationale behind encouraging such an exodus of Indians seeking refuge and asylum in the West. It's absurd to witness an overwhelming influx of Indians into our communities, straining societal resources and undermining local economies. The solution seems glaringly obvious: keep Indians in India.

Oh, how ironic that Indians are seeking asylum... what a surprise!

Surprised he didn't come in to SF or NYC seeking asylum. Tell that to Gavin Newsom

Sir, what kind of visa will someone use to seek for asylum?

Nice one Sir.\n\nWhat about seeking asylum, because spending so much on tickets toe and fro won't be easy and no one knows how long it will take to get a job while still there on visit.\n\nI will like to know if there are disadvantages if seeking asylum, nobody is talking about it anymore.

A few more hundreds of indians seeking asylum and UK is already complaining about it. Canada is really generous.

Canadians first.\nStudents are welcome, but why work permits, get education, go back, \nNow, visitor to work permit, what's a stupid policy of this government.\nOne the top of this , asylum seekes are also welcome.\nStop and cancel all covid immigration policies and work permits.

Muslims go seek asylum in Muslim countries.

Recently, canada has stop converting visit visa to work permit can someone go to canada with visit visa and also seek for asylum?

How can Indians seek asylum in the UK .. isn’t it usually where there is war or unrest

They come here to seek asylum they say to get away from the brutal life in Islamic countries and then try to recreate the place they left in the western countries. Does this not seem odd to our Western leaders who condone this mass immigration by people who hate us?

So what about those who are already here seeking asylum?

They do not go to school. They work 100 hrs a week illegally. There are people seeking asylum and work for cash or hang out in Bangla Town in Danforth Avenue, Scarborough. Immigration Canada should walk there and catch them without papers.

Can-India ??? Or CanaPunjab \n.\n29th state of India ! \n.\nI don’t know who should be more ashamed is that the Indian government who do nothing for the population that they are fleeing the country or the Canadian government who invite all these people, but they seems to be seeking shelter and asylum in elsewhere

...why none talk about Gloriane Blais' situation, a qc lawyer disbarred for being truthful & not letting go the bone. \n had to seek asylum in France...

Indians seeking asylum for what reason? Isn't it the so called largest democracy on earth. Who is India at war with?

Why woudnt they..its so easy to get in canada. You can simply come as a visitor then convert to work visa..or u can seek asylum based on false narrative.

All these people (Desperate Punjabis and Gujaratis ) who are crossing from Canada to US via the US Canada border and seeking Asylum will be deported as soon as possible back to canada under the safe country agreement between US and Canada. They will never be able to apply asylum in US once they are deported from US to canada. Least they will have an option to file asylum in canada will obviously wont give them any fruits given the houseful condition. ?‍??

It’s not Canada. It’s people crossing from INDIANADA to US to seek Asylum. ????

I don't get why these Indians seek asylum when their country is at peace.

Guaranteed they will all turn to refugees seeking asylum because there prosecuted because there gay
