The violent illegal migrants don’t have employer

As a Democrat who is engaged to a Ukrianian immigrant, targeting businesses with penalties for employing illegal immigrants is smart and humane.

Hear me out CNN not all employers that hire illegals are good people a lot of them use them for FREE labor after the job is done they tell them to kick rocks and guess what they can’t do anything about it

If a convicted felon can be president, employers shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against convicted felons.

Dana can we ask why American companies are employing *illegal* immigrants and not US citizens? It’s a news worthy question & topic.

how will they identify the illegals? what happens to the businesses who lose employees? employment rates are high in the US. we have high employment in australia with many businesses who cannot find people to work in their businesses how will they identify the violent criminals? will they increase the police forces/army? will the costs of doing this outweigh the benefits? what are the benefits of getting rid of these people beyond some 'trumped up' idea they are somehow a threat??

LOUD .& CLEAR MANDATE on this issue !! The voters VOTED for MASS DEPORTATIONS for illegals who came via Southern Border and END to SANCTUARY city in California / blue state. To business who employ illegals , you can always pay a heavy fine if you want illegals to stay.. Obama and Trump have no problem deporting illegals from Southern Border.

Trump can stop all aid to illegals from NGO's , churches, fine jail employers, renters, turn self in or go home.

Trump can stop ALL aid all sources fine employers of illegals. Give rides to Mexico.

As first generation American all this endless whining is getting old. When my family came here, they all had to have a health certificate and a sponsor that guaranteed they would have employment and housing waiting for them when they got here. If not, they weren’t going to be allowed on the boat to start with. No free housing, health care, food or education. \n \n\n So what part of ILLEGAL ALIEN isn’t being understood. This kind of nonsense isn’t allowed in virtually any other country on the planet. Try to cross into Mexico or Canada illegally and see where you end up. The argument is Americans don’t want to do the jobs that the illegals do yet back in the day Americans did do these jobs. The problem is too many Americans today think jobs that require physical labor are beneath them and too many are getting paid way too much for what the job they’re doing entails. Sorry but flipping burgers and asking if you want fries with that IS NOT a job worth $15 or $20 bucks an hour.

This senator elect is ignoring the fact that Republicans blocked the creation of a federal visa status checking system and imposing stiff penalties on employers for hiring undocumented immigrants. This is such BS, they’ll deport the convicted immigrants and call it day.

? Wouldn't it be so much easier to just throw the EMPLOYERS in jail??? When the jobs dry up, illegal immigration goes away.

Yes! You need to restrict employer and impost high penalty by removing their busiiness licence and restrict them to do business for certain period of time. This way they will learn and understand the consequences disobeying the law. Fo those illigel immigrant who marry to an american citizen, they can apply to be an immigrant and eventually be a citizen. They need to follow the rules and the system.

What is the incentive to have them stop employing undocumented? The rich are the ones who bring them here to work.

Maybe the Republicans can employ illegal immigrants to round up the illegals. It is often the way it is done.

We have an electronic economy. This is not hard. Make it impossible for illegals to obtain credentials, rent housing, obtain employment, buy vehicles, buy cell phones, open financial accounts. DO NOT allow them to participate in our system. Think about everything that you do as a citizen that requires you to identify yourself. Don't allow illegals to join the system. They will leave on their own.

Stop the abuse of workers from US employers who use cheap illegal labor by removing the abused worker?

I can't wait for the failure from this. Funny thing, the Trumps employ them also, do they get fined?

See how stupid you are the the universe gave you a example down in Florida. When the Florida governor made laws against immigrants down there and they were all leaving his State all the employers begged the immigrants to stay

And which businesses are hiring them. Names please. After all you said 15 million, where are they employed

75 million!! 12 million the first year alone. All illegals should be deported and it should not matter how long they have been here breaking the law. Set up a hotline to report illegals and their employers. Legal migrants and working class citizens are the workforce.

That's the stupidest thing I've EVER heard!!!\n\nPlus, Donald Trump EMPLOYED undocumented immigrants at his hotels and other businesses!

I'm sure republican business owners who currently employ millions of illegals are going to love this.

Unless employers and farmers who hire illegals for work are not punished or imprisoned these problems will continue. Believe it or not the same employers voted for trump because they are not held accountable like the illegals. Unless trump brings in law to imprison such employers and farmers all these are stunts just for vote. He was there for 4 years and did not bring this law. Trump is a coward.

No more asylum seekers or refugees….. Our country already has enough of a forced population.\n\nOverloads the health care system, Born raised Canadians looking for a job. Some can’t cause employers are getting subsidized money to hire newcomers. That is so wrong. But hey! Welcome to Trudeau’s Canada the first dictator of this country.

I grew up in Saskatchewan and it was NOT illegal for people other than law enforcement and military to own guns. Healthcare is far more complicated in the United States. Yes, every province in Canada may have slightly different rules, but every insurance company and every plan within every insurance company has different rules. And your options for insurance can suddenly change dramatically if your company decides to use a different insurance carrier or you change employers.

A $15.00 minimum wage was fine for back when they started the push - in about 2015, - but today to make that same amount of money we'd need to up that to around $28.00 per hour..\n Delays aren't helpful.\nWe needed Biden to do it by executive order, but he's no champion of the working classes.\nNeither is Bernie, who chickened out of the presidency TWICE!\n\nTrump isn't going to help at all.. Hell, he'll probably drop it to whatever your employer is willing to pay.. Tips?. Yeah, working for tips as a wage..\n\nTrump's voters can kiss my ass.\nI'm selling my house in spring and moving to Sweden..

Every CNN expert starts with ex and job title. can't get anyone employed?

I personally will not rent out any properties to Indians and I am not employing any people from south Asian.

When you are here illegally, you are ILLEGALLY breaking the law. We must enforce our laws. PERIOD. Enforce E Verify and strictly prosecute employers. If they can’t work they can’t eat and they will self deport!

Trump can stop all benefits all sources to illegals, NGO, food bank, churches, fine employers, they leave or report for deportion.

Toronto has collapsed. I used to fend off employers 2 years ago. Not I cant get a job

I'm a black Canadian who's a naturalised citizen, and I agree that the immigration quota at 500,000 per annum under Trudeau until very recently was way too high. With high inflation, rising employment, brutal real estate and rent prices, a lack of housing for students and workers, and an overburdened healthcare system, the problem is not immigrants but our inability to be able to absorb that many while protecting the services and interests of Canadian citizens. In short, this is the Liberal government's fault for this situation. When I was finally able to visit home in Calgary in summer 2023 after years of Covid travel restrictions, it shocked me how messed up things were.

So here is how things will move on going from here, and this goes for people reading the comments. And full disclaimer I live in Victoria, BC so I can share my POV from the Canadian side:\n\nThere's toomuch of low skilled cheap labour coming in from Punjab and other countries like Nigeria, Philippines, etc. Its gotten sooo bad now that even Indians living in Canada are feeling like this is not what we came for.\n\nI can't even start with how bad the immigration has gotten, people can barely and I mean barely speak English and they are working for all possible low skilled jobs. Tim Hortons, Uber delivery, Uber Cabs, Petrol pumps I mean what is going on.\n\nRight now its getting to Canadians, and you need to understand that Canadians need these low skilled jobs for themselves too but employers are finding extremely cheap labour from other places to replace Canadians.\n\nSo if you ask me this move is good, it will surely hurt the skilled labour class too but its needed. Imagine have a million immigrants coming in with a country that has a population of 40 million.\n\nThe infrastructure comes to a stand still, housing is ruined, food inflation begins. \n\nHonestly thanks to Diploma mills, Asylum seekers and gangs from Punjab, its honestly gotten bad from the Indian perspective. Now add to this others coming in from Africa and South East Asia and you can see this country get worse honestly.\n\nThis isn't hate against anyone, its just facts.

This protest is a joke! They know what they signed up for before coming to Canada. So,  they should work within the rules and find a way to legally settle (if they can) or leave. \n\n\nHowever, Canadians deserve to know more about this mess which is an outcome of aggressive marketing by Private colleges and the government's greed to get quick cash into the Canadian economy. Here are some clarifications to note:\n\n\n1. In the last six years, 1.5 million international students brought a minimum of $67,500,000,000 direct cash into the Canadian economy. (Assuming a min $40-45000 per student for 2 year diploma, between to $100,000 - 150,000 for undergrad, and around $50,000 for Masters degrees). Usually, international students have to pay most of this money before applying for the study visa. \n\n\n2. These colleges employ Canadians for their day to day operations. From cleaning, maintainance, administration to teaching, each college operates with approx 20-30million budget. So, more students lead to more employment for Canadians who further pay taxes.\n\n\n3. All students start work straightaway, pay taxes, and do not qualify for social security. They do not qualify for any student loans by Canadian govt or banks. So, they generate revenue for Canada through their work and taxes. The thing that govt LOVES.\n\n\n4. These students become new consumers and their expenditure generate revenues for local businesses.\n\n\n5. Most Colleges would not survive without international students. Which is good in the sense that only quality colleges will survive and other hanky panky colleges would shut down. However, such closures will lead to job losses, bankruptcy when the colleges won't be able to afford their expenses.\n\n\nSo, considering these factors it will be an industry collapse. Govt needs to control immigration. They need to introduce intelligent policies. The steps that current govt is currently taking are politically motivated not rational.

Only qualified people get employment in Canada. Young Canadians do not like to do low-paying jobs, so immigrants do more of those jobs and young Canadians do not have as much skills as immigrants have for high-paying jobs. Immigrants have no option to get success without hard work and skills. Therefore, immigrants work harder to get skills and success than the privileged native Canadian youth. So it would not be right to say that immigrants are taking away their jobs.

quebec health care system paid for a least invasive radiotherapy in philadelphia for 3 months because it gave my 5 years old nephew a better chance at a normal life had he survived. The parents even receive money to pay for an appartement during treatments because hotels are just too dangerous for these kids. Obviously one of the parent have to leave work to be with the kid so I really don't understand how americans make it! If you leave your job to be with your kid during his treatment don't you loose your insurance for not being employed? Are american parents sending their 5 years old alone for his chemo? it makes no sense!!!

Yes, white people came to the new world and conquered the natives. For the next few hundred years they built western society as we know it. They were immigrants from different places, but they were mostly homogeniously white, and more importantly, they had commonality in their social norms, holidays, cultures, laws and religion. Mostly English, Irish, Scottish, French, German, polish, etc. -- they blended well and eventually created their own unique shared identities in Canada and United States. Things were stable and people were happy. Immigrants continued to flow, but in smaller numbers over greater lengths of time. This allowed time for integration, learning the common language, finding decent employment and housing, ect. Then Immigrants from vastly different cultures started arriving and in greater numbers, and greater rates... Job availability, housing, educational/medical services, travel infratructure could not keep pace with the sheer speed and amount of people flooding in. Therefore, everything and everyone suffered, and it isn't stopping.

The main challenge is getting blue kard or work visa on time. There are many cases employer cancelling job offers because immigration office is not providing blue card or work visa on time and even taking 6 months to 1 year for same.

Historically, legal immigrants brought their resources and abilities, had a sponsor here, opened a business, employed Canadians, were vetted, brought something to the table. Historically, legal immigrants to Canada contributed to our society. Trudeau allowed unvetted, unqualified people to come and live off Canadian taxpayers. Now we're broke!

Wait did he just say business were asking for workers after Covid? Okay so fire ppl who don’t conform, then say we have an employment shortage and increase immigration. Businesses get tax cuts for employing immigrants, and schools can charge them whatever they want for tuition. Yeah that was a slight miscalculation. Ooops.

What we need is better paying jobs with benefits. Corporations flow of money must be followed, how much is leaving the country. Stop giving welfare to corporations who are making record profits that leave the country . \nWith new comers coming in with government subsidies to pay for their housing and giving businesses part of the wages payed by our taxes while our people live in tents, results more native Canadians are unable to be employed, get houses etc.

Stop all immigration until Canada can catch up with health care, housing and employment. Once Canada reaches that goal then allow immigration based on those issues. With this minor reduction Canada will never catch up with housing, health care and jobs. Immigrants all living in housing shelters while Canadians are in encampments. Canada safer then 10 years ago... that is a load of crap. Miller calling the backbenchers garbage.

If you’re navigating the permanent residency (PR) process for Canada, Australia, or Germany, preparing for winter and understanding residency requirements are key aspects of your transition. Canadian winters are particularly harsh, with temperatures frequently dropping below 0°C, while Australia and Germany offer a range of climates. Picking the right winter jacket can make a big difference, especially when moving to regions with unpredictable weather. This guide covers essential insights on winter preparation and the PR process for Canada, Australia, and Germany. \nPreparing for Winter \nWhen considering permanent residency in Canada, Australia, or Germany, understanding climate differences is crucial. Whether you're working with Canada PR consultants, Australian PR consultants, or Germany PR consultants, preparation for varied climates will help ensure a smoother transition. Here’s what to keep in mind: \n1.\tExpected Temperatures: In Canada, cities like Vancouver are milder with wet winters, while Toronto faces colder, often icy conditions. Regions in central and northern Canada have extreme lows, such as -19°C in Regina during January. Germany has varied winter climates, while Australia’s milder winters can still feel chilly in certain regions. \n2.\tChoosing the Right Jacket: For newcomers, warm, waterproof, and windproof jackets are essential for Canadian winters. Parkas, puffer jackets, and wool coats are ideal for different climates across Canada, Germany, and Australia. Parkas offer heavy insulation and water resistance, while puffer jackets are versatile and suited for layering. Wool coats add style but lack water resistance, making them suitable for drier German winters. \n3.\tTypes of Insulation: When relocating, especially through global talent streams in Canada, Australia, or Germany, picking jackets with appropriate insulation—down for warmth or synthetic for water resistance—is recommended for your first winter abroad. \n4.\tBudget Considerations: Budget options start at around $50, while high-end brands such as Canada Goose or Arc'teryx offer premium options for harsh winters. Mid-range choices from brands like The North Face provide a balance between quality and cost. \nNavigating the PR Process and Requirements \nEach country has unique pathways and requirements for permanent residency. Consulting with professionals who specialize in Canada immigration, Australia immigration, or Germany immigration can streamline the process, especially if you're applying from India or seeking a provincial nomination (like BCPNP or MPNP for Canada). \n•\tCanada PR Process: Canada offers various pathways for PR, including express entry, provincial nominee programs (e.g., BCPNP, MPNP, NBPMP), and spousal sponsorship. These programs have specific criteria, such as work experience, language proficiency, and educational qualifications. Consultants can guide you through each step, from document preparation to application submission. \n•\tAustralia PR Process: Australia's PR pathways, like the Skilled Migration Program, allow skilled professionals to work and live in Australia. The Global Talent Stream in Australia also targets specialized talent in fields such as tech and medicine, easing the immigration process for qualified individuals. \n•\tGermany PR Process : Germany offers options like the EU Blue Card and employment-based visas, making it possible for skilled workers to obtain residency. Consultants can assist with the application process and explain requirements like work contracts and proof of language proficiency. \nStudying and Working Abroad \nCountries like Canada, Australia, and Germany provide work and study opportunities for immigrants, making it easier to gain local experience. Programs for study and work facilitate cultural adjustment and open pathways to PR. Immigration consultants can help identify the best routes to achieve your career and residency goals, whether in education, employment, or both. \nImmigrating to a new country means facing unique challenges, from adapting to climate to understanding immigration requirements. Proper winter attire ensures you stay comfortable as you settle in, and expert immigration advice helps navigate complex residency processes. With the right preparation, you can embrace your new life abroad with confidence.

That's not a big change of 100 thousand less. How about next year putting the number down to Zero!!! \nThere are too many now!! Not enough housing and they are stealing all the jobs away from Canadians born here. They get hired easily cause Trudeau puts incentives to employers to hire immigrants!! It's bullshit, I see Canadians born here on the street begging for money!!! Trudeau is destroying our economy!! It's our tax money he helps immigrants with!! Because he wants them to vote for him in the next election!!!

The manufacturing and high-tech jobs that Canada once prided itself on are no longer flourishing here. Instead, many Canadian millionaires and billionaires have moved significant projects overseas to countries like China and India, where labor is cheaper. My cousin, for example, manages software engineers in India who produce software for a Canadian company he works for—because the company's millionaire owner recognizes that outsourcing is far more cost-effective than employing Canadians. Similarly, a friend in Calgary mentioned that even the construction of the Peace Bridge involved components manufactured in South Korea, with only the assembly done locally. It became a political statement, but it highlighted how even critical infrastructure projects are outsourced for cost savings.\n\nSo, who is truly to blame? Politicians and business leaders, most of whom are born and raised in Canada, are at the heart of this issue. Immigrants face the same struggles as many underprivileged Canadians. For instance, a Tim Hortons owner on Southland Drive SE shared with me that he struggled to hire local workers—many would not show up or quit without notice. Eventually, he sponsored six workers from the Philippines, providing them housing nearby, and his operations became smoother without the frequent staffing issues. Another employer mentioned that when hiring local workers, he often hires two people for a one-person job because he knows that one might not show up. These stories underscore the reality that the challenges with the labor market are deeper than just immigration—they reflect structural issues within the economy and decisions made by those at the top.

The businesses are all the immigration consultants who will be losing millions they make creating fake employment demands for more immigrants and the government itself, the biggest sponsor of mass legal to illegal immigration to Canada by the millions in the last 6 years alone. Don't have a Mexico issue? Create one, and that's what the Liberals have unleashed on Canadians.

I don't want another person entering the country until you can answer my five.\nHow are we going to, employ, educate, feed, heal, and most importantly house this person.\nTo do any less is reckless, irresponsible, deceptive and patently stupid.

Enough laborers are here. The employers just want immigrants to exploit. I know highly skilled people who are applying for jobs and don't get hired while immigrants have 2 jobs. The govt has been either duped or working on an agenda. A lot of the managers, are East Indians and only hire their own nationality. Check all the supermarkets, hardware stores, fastvfood places. A master carpenter can't get hired bc he wont accept 25$/hr for a job driving 2 hrs each way. So they hire the immigrant Latinos. Too many Mexicanos since 2017, no visa required....

Many Indian-based IT companies not only employ Indians living in Canada but also hire (offshore) Indians who are living in India. There should be a law in Canada to regulate employment: you cannot have 19 Indians working on a team of 20.
