These are not just US immigrants. They are illegal immigrants. Use the right terminology in your headline.

You really are not allowed to be coming into this country. Birthright is for slaves and their kids slavery and their kids that they left here in the United States. Understand what that mean it doesn’t say anything in the fourth amendment about immigrants go read the fourth amendment you’re not allowed to be here there is no birthright for you all. It’s about the people of slaves their children.

What makes the US such a Paradise is ALL those FREEBIES they are getting under the guise of SO MANY grants and fundings from the Federal Government put in places by the previous Administration. Most of these fundings are on hold by the current Trump Administration for reevaluation and reassessment. The thing that the Chicago Governor is talking about is that what US citizens are enjoying as benefits and services are the same thing that these illegal immigrants and migrants are getting. NOT FAIR to the American people. That’s why those findings needed to be put on hold. Our President Trump is PUTTING Americans first. Fixing United States of America first.

Illegal immigrants to undocumented immigrants are not the same tsk tsk tsk.

I may not understand people that transition but I respect them. Just because I’m not gay nor am I transgender I have respect for them as long as they’re good people but that goes for straight people too!\nI hate when people discriminate based on not understanding or respecting others. It goes even deeper than that. Disabled people are discriminated against, women, black people, Hispanic people, Asian people, Indian people,immigrants, and the list goes on and on.

The Trump administration is trying to pass a bill through congress to stop this migration but now some Republicans as well as Democrats are trying to water down this bill for it to say state and local law enforcement have no authority to stop this. And worse at a later date immigrants can come back? Worse these tradors working for our government want to Rubber Stamp this bill in the Presidents name if it passes. Do Not say yes to this crooked bill.

Immigrants are not leaving Canada there rushing the border now

The one thing i agree strongly with this guy even tho he is full of empty promises might get more done with congress on his side this time but too many immigrant in our country too my city is unrecognisable and i am serious its getten even a bit intimiditing tje hatred undercurrent in our city these foreigners hate our guts and its our country and we are called the hater its our help and support that is less and less our nhs overrun we sont get the services we arw due because there are too many immigrants in our countries it SIMPLE do not take ordainary people as idiots and produce all this flannel about being humanist charity begjns at home these are prinicipals our grandparents installed in us doesnt me we are unkinnd or wouldnt help anyone but tjeres a limit i feel intimidated daily by foreingers and im a hater for such remarks aye right who are you politicians kidding no wonder trump has such a following even tho i am not a fan of the man but he is bang on here

CNN: \n\nThese are migrants. Not illegal immigrants. That’s how CNN will call it from now on.\n\nColombia and USA used to have great relationship with agricultural benefits.\n\nThe price of many goods like coffee will rise. \n\nWork force is now adversely affected.\n\nTrump misspelled Colombia into Columbia.\n\nThe inhumane treatment by the government will leave a bad impression on USA people and everyone around the world.

Why are we protecting every other country's border but not our own. Why are you seeing this LMAO because Biden allowed this. Thank God Trump won. Biden said he couldn't do anything but Trump did the first day. These people infuriate me, you ask to come not demand it. Try do that in their country. This is going to stop thank God for President Trump. ? To you illegal immigrants.

Why do these people think that’s not ok to deport ilegal immigrants, even if they have not committed crimes. They still came I illegal and that’s a crime in itself. Wait till they start deporting non criminals, the media and the left are going to go crazy. ??????

They are not Migrants they are Illegal immigrants…Migrants seek asylum through the country they are entering, they don’t just run across the border Illegally… The second a foreign citizen crosses the border through any point other then a designated port of entry they have immediately broken the law and have become a criminal in the U.S. AKA Illegal Immigrant….

Ask any U.S. Government employee about all the immigrants that are in high GS positions they are not qualified for. I’m thinking Nigerians especially. Been going on for decades. And we are worried about these people.

Stop whitewashing your wording. They are not undocumented migrants. They are illegal immigrants! I'm sorry that words hurt you guys and possibly the majority of your viewers but that's the truth! If someone wants to come here, I have no problem with that nor do the majority of Americans. This is an amazing nation. However, there are many legal ways to do it. I've served with several fellow Marines that did it the right (legal) way. And let's not forget, it's not only people from Central and South America that are pouring across that southern border. We've caught countless people on the terrorist watch list including people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the like pouring across the border because they know how easy it is. Everyone is just mad because we finally have leadership that is doing something about it. And apparently, the libtards are either simply naive enough to think bad people would not come across the border and all those caravans are full of innocent women and children or they are trying to bring about the downfall and collapse of the United States. This is all simply ridiculous!

They are coming to your country - America, and even the do not know English. What would they do there? Cocaine trafficking Human trafficking – 98 percent are criminals. What right does this Spanish-speaking have to speak about your president - a lot of mess is made by them - immigrants.

I had supported the deportation of undocumented people with criminals records back to them own country, but Mr T is deporting undocumented people who are working in industries that many Americans will never work, and treating them as criminals, placing them in airplane chained and hand cuffed. Also, a interesting fact is, he is only targeting people from Central America, Brazil, but a lot of undocumented immigrants are from Europe, Asia…maybe because they are not “brown people” like he once said, let us see what will happen when the prices of some services and products start rising, how citizens will react.

The gringos are going down. The USA (not america) is were it is because of the immigrants. US economy is going down, I can't believe the hatred that euroamericans spread, even though they are in stolen land.

I’m not even mad at Trump only thing I agree with him on is immigration I stay in LA and I’ve been homeless for like three weeks I went to the LA mission they do not take single individuals they only take families that are illegal immigrants how is that fair Most of the people are from Venezuela and I know they need help but what about me a US citizen One of the ladies who work there Also was Telling me they are helping them with housing low income housing I’m like man

No, you didn't understand the Colombian president's post. He was only against the use of military plane and lack of process, he never said he will not accept deported Colombian immigrants. There needs to be a coordination because they also need to make sure on their end that it's only their citizens that are being dumped in their country and that they're being treated humanely. Also, Colombia just hit U.S. with 50% tariff. Also dont forget there is arround 15.000 North American citizens living illegally in Colombia... So... WTF? U.S shoukd take it easy on his rear flank

What I wonder is what about the European immigrants that are not here legally haven’t heard nothing yet

You are not sure they are criminals besides being undocumented immigrants. For a country made by immigrants, the way they are treating immigrants is immoral and criminal.

Democrats lied to illegal immigrants. \nIt’s not a secret that it’s illegal to cross the border through non-legal means.\nBut Democrats are racist and they believe that poor brown countries are special because of skin color. \nThat’s racist , we have a front door through a legal process that every single country on the face of the planet walks through to become a citizen. \nMexico and South America can go through the same damn door. \nThis is Democrat’s fault for lying to them encouraging them to become criminals, breaking US law to come here illegally \nTrump is not separating families. \nDemocrats are separating families because of the lies and false promises that they had no authority to grant.

Ahhh Yes, let it all begin!!! Its only been a week & Trump has done more than Biden / Harris did in 4 years. Love it absolutely love it, enough is enough & about time every country realizes they arent/cant keep sending their problems & illegal immigrants to our border to cross in / enter the U.S illegally! Hopefully Trump sticks to it & sends back as many of them as physically possible! Time to focus on making our country great again, eliminate the nonsense & ? show Biden/Harris created and allowed! All the south american and central american counries better wake up n deal with their wonderful citizens because its not the U.S job or obligation to just allow and accept them. If they want to do it legally and right way, sure im all for it, but enough is enough! How about we start sending all of our criminals etc to their countries on a free for all and thousands of them at a time not just a couple!?! Pretty sure the majority of U.S citizens have had enough & 99% are glad Trumps a man of his word & does what when & how he says it!

Trump is awesome! Illegal immigrants are not welcome in the United States of America ?

the colombian president did not receive them because they were brought chained and tortured like animals. The president said that he would not receive them as long as there was no protocol for dignified treatment of immigrants. He sent the presidential plane to pick them up. in Colombia we are humans too, you know?

Why not stop demonizing immigrants and add more taxpayers with a comprehensive immigration reform instead wasting billions you intend in a racist agenda , such an hypocritical when Texas and Florida and borders states send all this immigrants in buses back in 2022 . You create this and the way you want to fix this is being racist and blaming all as trafficking and cartels when you know is not true , most of them are hardworking individuals, add more taxpayer’s comprehensive immigration reform is very easy if you stop hating brown people . Racism is. Mental illnesses you all .

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.

Why don't you just stay and fix your country. Illegal immigrants are not welcome in the USA.

Unfortunately, have to agree with the fact that some Indians have exploited the visa process and made it a mess for the remaining well intentioned legal residents. Lack of proper manners, over staying, misusing the privilege, list goes on. Please understand: we need to follow rules. We are a law abiding country. Not everything is perfect, neither in India or anywhere. That does not give you the right to break rules blatantly. We don't want illegal immigrants, why would some other country want that. Read, learn and improve. Good luck.

The Indian immigrants that came in the 70s and the 80s are good people and raised their family well. Not the recent ones who throw food on the street.

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.

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

I am surprised that someone like Palki is asking this question. The West won't answer that? It's because of our behaviour, our fake documents and the scams that we pull. Why does the Indian government not address the fact that India has been running the world's biggest immigration scam? Punjab, Gujarat (emphasis on the rat), Haryana, Delhi, etc - the biggest scam running ever. 95% of them do not know how to behave in public and will gather enmass, no doubt a posse of fellow fraudulent immigrants with their fake scores and IELTS documents all paid for and forged by their fraud agencies, and then they make a mess in the foreign country that they go to. Start a F*cking chat counter and lay those stupid cots all over the parking area and then bring their entire family, who can't speak English or the language of that land and then roam around. Possibly even peeing and shitting on the street! Like they do back in India. They basic courtesy that the West take for granted, these country baboons cannot try to emulate, but they will act out the dumb dancing & acting tough of their fool actors in their favourite nonsensical Bollywood movie. The music, especially Punjabi music (those annoying repetitive tinga tinga tinga torture that they pass for music), their dumb chole batture and all sort of BS. These morons possibly want Hindi & Punjabi to be adopted as the new national languages of the West. Being Indian myself I would reject everyone. Or do interviews that check for so many things and then only accept them. We are now universally hated! Congratulations!!

Canadians have been left behind by their own country in favour of Indians. Canada as we know it is done, it is in severe decline and the quality of life of all Canadians has suffered from this influx. At old age homes, Canadians are being passed up and made homeless in favour of new immigrants (all Indians), all low income jobs have been taken by Indians, locals youth can't get jobs. Indians are super racist towards white or latino people (like me), and they are not taking up Canadian customs and manners. Canada is being ruined by Indians. Canadians have been left behind. 1 in 6 people globally are indian. Their breeding is out of control, and they ALL want to come here for free healthcare, hand outs and fresh water. I mean, look what they've done to India, Canada is next. It is all ready in severe decline, and quality of life is at the lowest ever because of this.

This happens CONSTANTLY to immigrants in Canada. The person is not reacting, because it happens very often. That man would not speak to a white person like that. This is Canada, please people realize how racist Canada is. It is not worth it. Random strangers throw coffee at you if you are wearing a turban.

As an Indian Immigrant who left recently, here are few tips for Canadians:\n\n1. Not every brown person is Indian, I knew people from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka identifying themselves as Indians.\n\n2. Its not entire India but two major states, Punjab and Gujarat, with majority of aggressive actions coming from IMMIGRANTS from Punjab and not native Punjabis who are born and brought up here.\n\n3. Immigrants can’t vote, so majorly its not your fault and so is not immigrants fault but the Government that the CITIZENS elected brought immigrants for boosting their dead economy.\n\n4. Controversial but I will say it, Canada is a FRENCH country with English as its second major language. No others language is as prominent, So if you are sure that a brown person is an IMMIGRANT and they can’t even speak ENGLISH properly let alone French, 99% chance he/she is a problem in your country and does labour work.

So, you are an illegal immigrants for years, not planning to regulate your situation. Then, despite the lack of certainty on your situation, you decide to have a baby (I say decide as there are too many contraceptive options at hand nowadays so it is literally a decision made) so that that baby becomes an American citizen, yet with a family/parents without a clear and legal pathway. How does that make sense??? To me it doesn't and citizenship should be by conferral in case of any immigrant, even for the respecive descendants of those immigrants. That's how it is here in Australia. Hard and expensive process to apply to but it is the only way to keep your house in order. If one of your parents is Australian, then citizenship by descend applies. No other option. So simple.

Funny how I sat with a Canadian elderly person who looked me in the eye and told me how lazy Canadian youth are and crying that immigrants are getting their jobs when in reality it’s either they don’t have the actual qualification or do not want to work the job. As an employment coordinator, I have received so many Canadians under 35 years of age who want me to help them look for a job but then after all the effort I put in they just send a long message telling me they don’t think they are mentally ready or physically ready or if they are worthy or good enough hence the reason they just want to quit and not get a job anymore.

Those people is not immigrants, they are Indian international students and Indian visitors visa. The use the back door to get into Canada. Now the real immigration apply in the right way, they have to wait some more time. Just because the Indian is cheat and scam the Canadian visa system.

Blaming immigrants for systemic problems is often misplaced and unfair. Immigrants who work hard and contribute to society, are not the root cause of challenges such as housing shortages, healthcare pressures, or job market competition. These are complex issues stemming from broader systemic factors like government policies, urban planning, and economic strategies.\n\nImmigrants play a significant role in strengthening Canada’s economy. They fill labor shortages, contribute to innovation, and enrich cultural life. However, when governments fail to address structural issues like insufficient infrastructure or support systems, it’s easier for some people to scapegoat immigrants rather than look at deeper causes.\n\nThank God I left Canada in 2022 ... It's not the right place to settle...

The media can spin this however they wish, but the essential truth is that finally we are taking steps to regain control over two areas that have been completely mis-managed over the past number of years. \n\nA cutback in the number of refugees and immigrants? That signifies that once again Canada has borders. A country is defined by its borders. Trudeau took ours down causing an immigration and refugee free for all. Now he is being forced to correct that.\n\nA reduction in the number of federal public servants? The government has used federal public service hiring to make its jobs numbers look better. These jobs are mostly high paying and effectively unproductive in that they do not generate anything to improve the economy. Rather than contributing to the economy, they draw on it. That has been a drag Canada cannot afford.\n\nIt is about time changes like these are made on a large scale.

These immigrants arrived legally and were granted legal status. In Canada, individuals must live in the country for five years before they can apply for citizenship. So, why should they be deported? I could understand if they had entered illegally and bypassed the proper legal process, but that is not the case here. Why would Canada adopt policies similar to those of Trump in the U.S.?\n\n-------\n@derekpam7149\nMy point is straightforward: these individuals followed the legal process to enter Canada and were granted legal status. They have adhered to the rules, and deporting them after they’ve done everything correctly seems unjust. Comparing this to Trump-era policies in the U.S. does not align with the values Canada upholds regarding fairness and due process. I’m asking why Canada would take such an approach when these people have complied with the law. Could you clarify what part of this seems complex to you? Perhaps you need to revisit your studies and review elementary education, as this is taught in schools. Canada is a 'land of immigrants.' It's part of history, long before you were born.\n\nI have no issues with deporting individuals who entered Canada illegally. However, these rules should not apply to people who migrated to Canada legally, are working as doctors, nurses, engineers, and so on, and are simply waiting for their citizenship. Your message is clearly irrelevant and discriminatory.

An average Canadian after compulsory deductions and rent ends up with only 10% as disposable income. In the great capitalist nation of USA after compulsory deductions and rent an average American has 30-40 % income. In addition due to the socialism our per capita income is only 72% of the great capitalist nation of USA. This implies that for every disposable dollar an American has we have only 25 cent. Now we are 10% of US population so for every $1 of disposable market they offer us we offer them 2.5c worth of market \n \nHow can such one sided unequal deals work? It is obvious one party is looting its own citizens and that is not enuff so it has to loot the American consumer with higher disposable income and also students/immigrants from grower saver, efficient and productive economies. And obviously that party was elected by 2 cities and China. And obviously how long will agenda of loot work specially when 100% of looters suffer TDS

Governments making money from taking money from immigrants via their visa fees and school fees.\n\nGranted, these western countries need people who will take up the jobs their people won't do, etc, but their infrastructure and system is not designed to cope with the volume of people they are simply taking money from.\n\nNaturally, many of these immigrants will also put a strain on the welfare system. Where will the government get the money from?\n\nSomebody in the higher echelons is making a lot of money from the misery of others.

You have never cared about our people, why should we care about illegal immigrants. We cant afford all your freebies. We are not the world bank.

cry me a river some people who immigrate here legally had to wait for many years before they finally got citizenship. What makes you entitled to our resources and our land? we are not a nation of immigrants we are a nation of colonists. The left is using these illegals to get votes out of them. The dems would keep them poor by keeping them on the government tit payed for by our generous tax payers. Democrats also love victims.

2.6 million immigrants enter the United States legally in 2023. 11 million immigrants entered illegally. So we are okay with a 2.6 million, it's the 11 million were not okay with. So let's say it cost $10,000 to deport an illegal. That's 110 billion dollars. We already have a 35 trillion dollar deficit. Close that goddamn border.

Forget about 11 million illegal immigrants that invaded US under Biden, DW want to tell you about legal ones that won't be able to get in US?. Ofcoz they know even for the mosy deranged of people defending illegal immigration will not make sense, so they scape goat with ones they claim are legal ?

This is absolutely ridiculous!! It is not a RIGHT to come into our country. It is something that legal immigrants spend months to years and a lot of personal money to do. Just like most of our ancestors. We have lost a family member and a friend to fentanyl. I support closing the borders and deportations after that clown of a job the Biden admin has done these past four years. Our country has never been weaker than one day ago. So grateful we finally have a president that is pro-America. That is how it SHOULD be. If a country’s leaders aren’t doing their job to follow the governments laws and they aren’t making their own country safe for their citizens that is on them. Not the USA to allow anyone and everyone in. Crime is rampant. Drugs are flowing across the border. This is needed and you are manipulating truth.

I don’t know about other countries, but here in America, the Democratic Party are actually using these ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to gain Votes, especially in Democratic ran states like California. They created laws that Checking ID are not needed to Vote and claiming that checking Identification are somehow “ racist “. That’s how crazy it is. ??
