The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing a humanitarian and political crisis that demands urgent attention. Armed conflicts in the east have displaced thousands, while a resurgence of Ebola in regions like North Kivu strains limited resources. Political instability and economic struggles, despite the country’s vast natural wealth, further compound the situation. These pressing issues have been overshadowed by other global events, but they must be brought to light—this is something you should highlight in your talk show.

Depressing. Thanks , Biden. For creating human crisis. Scary to think that some of these babies could have been taken by adults to be human shields. Some of those adults are not their parents. Then they gonna blame it on trump, as usual. But who brought these people to border in 1st place . Just adding more drama to existing problem.

Good Lord , can Trump and Vance not send two planes from A to B without causing a crisis and putting US Airforce crews in danger , no mind US Airforce assets and the thousands upon thousands of dollars down the drain plug! Less high life and more in the situation room overseeing their regime!

What year was this???? Shame on people that don't check sources and info. Where is your critical thinking people??? They are falsifying a crisis at the border to distract from the real danger, the orange Jesus ransack of the country, you guys are being played.

My mother and her neighbor's house (in the Bronx) were both broken into last Month, the neighbor, An ex Marine, got his motorcycle stolen. Unbeknownst to the thieves, he had an apple air tag on his bike, the cops found his motorcycle, which he worked hard for, and other motorcycles in storage unit in the South Bronx, which was being used by a gang of illegal Venezuelans and Dominicans. Most people don't care about the illegal immigration crisis because it mostly affects black and brown communities sadly. Thank you Trump for sending these criminals back!!!

Well instead of inciting fear and appearing to lash out at real and imagined threats and vindications, his party controls both houses of Congress. Why isn’t he working with Congress to put together a comprehensive plan on immigration?\nHis appointees and nominations including Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel and a genuine nutjob Kennedy are all wholly unqualified for critical roles protecting or national security and health. His total mismanagement of COVID exposed his inability to manage a crisis. Let’s hope we survive the next one.

Sounds like you have a PR crisis on your hands.

It’s funny how US citizens don’t realize that they the only ones in the world that abuses of terms as “migrants” “illegals” “aliens” “border” The never talk in terms of humans of humanity…. They think humanitarian immigration crisis it’s only going on there. ….Otherwise the rest of the world doesn’t and is super open for diversity and no flags, how crazy ideological it has to be? But i get it on a place where there is literally a national flag in every 50 mts

These leaders really need to call an Emergency Meeting and figure out a way how they’re going to pay for the International airfare for these natural born citizens returning to their home country. Not doing so would put their own people at risk and create a humanitarian crisis.

God bless Trump. End relationships with narco columbia. The drug war needs ro stop. End all migration from Columbia revoke all citizenship nack 50 years. God bless . 190 countries to go. No more cocaine.\n\nThe deaths caused by thier drug cartels is a crisis.

regardless, trump and MAGA won't make a dent in the ~11 million people here illegally... but he'll probably be able to deport all the hard workers who show up to do jobs white people don't want to do... so produce/meat prices will go up and construction worksites will shut down... plus the border is still as wide-open as it's ever been to drugs and cartels... another bungled 'crisis'...

How is it possible that they are saying deportation numbers were higher during Biden administration, yet we have been faced with the worst immigration crisis in the history of our country? Also, I would never want to sour any relationship with any country but I solute our President for being a nonsense approach and defend his country from criminals. My God, can you imagine what scum we had amongst us, if even their country doesn’t want them. I can live without Colombian food. They can stuff it up where the sun doesn’t shine. I’m only heartbroken for the people who have families there who will now suffer because they’re communicating and visiting will be greatly affected. And this is why Trump calls these assholes terrorists. Because of these assholes families are held hostage by not being allowed to have physical contact with each other.

This is so stupid, if trump’s solution to international affairs is to imposed tariffs on the countries who don’t bend to his will, most countries will be smart and form an alliance to just cut the u.s. out and spread the wealth within that alliance. Trump is going to lose all of our trade partners, and bring us to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

This is not sustainable. Potential future unstoppable crisis among the people

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 !! ????

Many companies are laying off workers for economic reasons while prioritizing international students and temporary workers over Canadians because they can pay them lower wages. Now, in this time, qualifications, experience, and performance stopped mattering. \nHow does the government expect Canadians to pay their bills, household expenses, and other costs in such a chaotic job market? How can Canadians compete with temporary students living in overcrowded rented houses, where multiple bunk beds are crammed into each room, and landlords charge $500 to $700 per bed? \nWhat measures will the government take to address this growing crisis?

Canada has a overpopulation crisis with no jobs

Why are they taking another 5,000 refugees from Gaza and giving them money. I don’t understand this government and they complain about housing crisis. Where is the government going to put them. How they know if they are not taking Hamas fighters. I am suppose to be retired but this government keep on taking on more refugees and creating more debt which is increasing taxes. Canada it is enough, you can’t help everyone.

Housing and job crisis was caused by Liberal incompetence to begin with....

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

All the channels using the same woman. Is she a crisis actress?

Everyone thinks they should be able to live in the US..Everyone who has entered and live in the US Illegally should be deported..That should not be allowed..That message has to be send so that peopke stop trying to cross over...Biden and democrats have brought this crisis for decades..

Biden administration has cause this crisis..They should be held accountable..

Always misguiding people. This channel is not informing the truth. Biden regime invited all these poor people to come to the USA illegally. And you know human nature. You give them an inch and they take a mile. Now we got this huge crisis. All Trump is doing is applying the law. What's wrong with that???

They were informed/warned way ahead of time, so it should not be a surprise to anyone! The majority of the American citizens voted for Trump partly because they want him to fix the migration problems that developed during the Biden-Harris leadership! It's time for the border crisis to end!

Mexico, if you close your borders, no more shelter crisis etc. You essentially assist them entering US illegally.....

In times of war and to combat the food crisis, India has supported the world and has led the way. \n \nIn the face of natural disasters, India has consistently stepped up to lead from the front. \n \nAs the 5th largest economy, India is steadily progressing towards becoming the 3rd largest. With the world’s number one-ranked leader, Prime Minister Modi, the nation continues to rise. \n \nDespite these remarkable strides, our passport ranking remains in the 80s. This reflects the ongoing challenge of the West, which seems unwilling to digest the success of our great nation.\n\nJai Hind !

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

When countries are so currup only interested in pocketing own self, not doing anything for there own country, so everyone wants to get out. Plus everywhere crisis other countries don't need extra burden on its housing, health and education

The EU is becoming more xenophobic because of their immigration crisis. This is not specifically against Indians. The rejection rates rise also for African countries, Turkey, Russia, Central Asian and other countries. The only exception is the countries that agree to align fully their foreign and internal policies with Brussels (the new European colonies also known as the EU candidates).

I am a sri lankan ,most of the indians are not travellers or tourist only a few handful, the rest for a a better opportunity because of the unemployment crisis in india in mexico and south america there are in 1000's to illegally enter usa and even in sri lanka a poor bankrupt nation we find indian illegally working specially in restaurant kitchens because they are paid /treated better than india

They don’t care about Canada but come here and force us to adapt while we’re in a housing and economic crisis and overpopulated and just finished lockdowns and layoffs and are being a gaslit into thinking we’re racist for seeing only one culture in our own country. it’s quite something especially for us who are still struggling to pay bills and make any money and have any joy in life seeing people come and claim victimhood in a place they just got too on purpose is quite appalling. It’s just Canadian culture is inherently taught to be honest and treat everyone equal when they know this and use it against us so they can lie and only help there own. It’s quite interesting how American politics has gotten young Canadians so confused on self identity and the idea of being racist that were just allowing it and bending over for them. Canadians are lonely and poor and cold and confused and will never own a home but immigrants are coming in and just expecting us to assimilate to there own culture across the world. I hope things change in the media as the media seems to be neglecting real Canadian hardships and sees Canadian citizens as rich privileged people that aren’t being directly fucked by this

Good!!! Go back and build your own country!! Plus your country isn’t in war or crisis!! So $tfu with B$

As usual she really has no clue western countries are at there limits with immigration housing crisis all over the place indians are high risk of staying illegally in decent countries

19k indians crossed into US from mexican border last year. Indians walking into US from\nCanada after housing and job crisis and there are many H1Bs jobless. West doesn’t have capacity to accommodate so many.

@Palki...\nReally? Do you think you are a master of words? And you can turn the crisis into an opportunity?\n\nGod bless you

Indian not came as tourists but as settlers taking local low skilled jobs and causing housing crisis in western countries. That's mean losing billions Rupee. revenue for the Indian back home. Silly Palki

Canada is in crisis, politically, economically and financially. Our health care system is hanging on by a thread. The Crime Minister Justa Traitor has served his WEF masters well in dismantling this once great nation. We are hardly in a position to except legal immigrants never mind illegal ones. To anyone who wants to jump the line, break the rules and take up space otherwise desperately needed by law abiding, hard working, life long tax paying Canadian citizens I say, no way Jose!

This border crisis is all Trump's fault.!!!

This was happened because Prime minister and immigration department didn’t focus on future immigrants crisis and problems for the country.

India urgently needs to take responsibility for its overpopulation and hygiene issues, which are having global consequences. With over 1.4 billion people, the unchecked birth rate is straining resources, fueling mass migration, and overwhelming developed countries that are increasingly unwilling to accommodate more immigrants. It’s time for strict population control policies, such as mandatory family planning education, widespread access to contraception, and incentives for smaller families.\n\nAt the same time, India must confront its hygiene crisis. Poor sanitation and personal hygiene have become significant points of complaint in host countries. A nationwide overhaul of sanitation infrastructure, strict hygiene standards, and aggressive public awareness campaigns are non-negotiable. These measures are not just about improving conditions at home but also about respecting the global community India interacts with.\n\nIndia can no longer afford to delay action. Population control and improved hygiene are critical for its progress and for easing the strain it places on the world.

A shame. A bad idea to be a retail landlord. The government will screw you. Let the housing crisis burn

Not just Canada, the entire west is in crisis

Where are the destination countries that those Canada immigrants moved to? You did not tell the whole story. The audience may think that those people are leaving Canada to US. \n\n1. Among five eyes countries, Canada is the easiest country for people to migrate to. For example Australia skill migrant program does not accept the flight attendant as the required talent. There is very slim chance that the flight attendant can get the PR through the skill migrant program in Australia. Canada is now getting into the trouble similar to the sub-prime crisis in US 15 years ago: too many people who are not the qualified immigrants arrived to Canada in past 2 years. They are leaving because the minimal hourly wages cannot support their living in the big cities like Toronto and Vancouver. \n2. High income tax ? In UK the top tax bucket is well over 40%. In Australia you need to pay 45% income tax plus 2% medical Levy surcharge\n3. High cost of living? I think the cost of living in London of UK and Sydney of Australia are also exceptionally high. The cost of living affordability depends on the income of the migrants. Low income working class will feel the cost of living and housing pressure. But this applies to all countries, including SF of US, Toronto of Canada, Sydney of Australia, London of UK\n4. Rise in crime: I do not understand this logic as the migrants left Canada to US - the city of LA, New York, Seattle and Chicago are far worse than in Canada \n5. Limited Career opportunities: the only country that has better career opportunities is US. What are the main reasons for those who are not migrating to US?\n\nIn summary, all the above points are not the main reasons. The main reason is the liberal government. Canada had taken a large number of wrong low end migrants in wrong time. When the economic downturn turn comes these are the most vulnerable group of people that should leave Canada.\n\nMany Canadian found that they resolved some of the problems by relocating from city to city ie moved from Vancouver to Calgary. Cheaper house price and cost of living, lower crime rate,etc

He is a shame we are dying of housing crisis

Immigrants like Indians are not leaving,they are leaving India for Canada,but yes, some BORN Canadian are leaving for the USA because of rising criminal activities - Robberies, Drugs,car theft money laundering Job crisis. All Indians are working 50/ 60 hrs. Every job in Canada are taken over by New comer Indians.

Canada is the Fentanyl Capital of the world. Canada has become a mass-producing hub for Fentanyl and other drugs. Vasi is wrong in downplaying the drug crisis in Canada

A housing crisis brought on by the influx of immigrants specifically from landlords community. The irony???
