As a US citizen, I am sad for both Canada and the US. We were great allies, and now that is gone. I wanted to move to Nova Scotia and start a new life doing my art and be a part of a culture I love. This is why it is so important to participate in the election process! The future is uncertain, but for those who care about our countries, we need to work together to bring back democracy and bring down the cost of living. It is insane what we are experiencing now!

It happens in all white western world civilizations. They don’t think they need to assimilate because of this idea of out lax immigration policy and taking in too many too fast. They find their little pocket of like ethnicities and stick with them. Look at the US. It’s time to put out foot down. It’s not racism, it’s assimilation which is a NORMAL essential process of migrating.

Maybe consider blaming the people who were given an easier way in (through the CBP1 app) to America who’ve committed heinous crimes in this country.\n\nThose who’ve committed crimes made the prospects of coming into America worse for those who want to come in quietly, live under the radar and make a better life for themselves. America is not supposed to be a place you can enter in and just break the law (especially taking lives. )The crimes committed by those not screened, who come into this country create an uptick in crime for America. As much as part of our country hates it, something has to be done about it. As with anything, your child does something they’re not supposed to you’re going to correct the situation by rules/laws. Especially when things get out of hand.\n\nAlso consider blaming the recent government for not adding a vetting process into the CBP1 app system, which has created a mess. And they should have made that CBP1 app public for everyone to know about. So those entering the proper way could have used it so they could enter this country easier and faster.

Zero respect for the law why do they think this is ok to shove past our border agents like they are nothing this should be a huge red flag ? the people that come here illegally are essentially spitting in the faces of people who have come legally! I’m Amerasian my dads a Vietnam vet I didn’t get to just skip the line there’s a process it’s very frustrating to see people from certain countries behaving this way and expecting for folks to be open arms and welcoming it’s not gonna happen! Shame on Biden for not putting America first!

He’s deporting people who are here legally and awaiting processing. Immigration process is long and expensive. Unless you’re wealthy. So imagine doing it the right way and this happens. We tried to tell people but no one listened. I’m black and I already know they are gonna harass us and ask us for our papers. And racists whites don’t care. MAGA= racists. That is how we see you. They truly think that being a “true “ American is being white. My grandmother was black and Choctaw. They saw it and see it differently. Her grandmother was killed by the slave master because she refused to have anymore of his children. Many of us are descendants of rapists. Trumps people weren’t even in the country at that time and when they did come here grandpappy Trumf was running a bordello in Alaska.

This is because the Canada Immigration Department has failed to identify those who are not eligible to stay and hold them accountable. This failure has strained public resources and services, leading to increased pressure on housing, healthcare, and social support systems. It has also caused tensions within communities, as the majority of people feel that the system is being exploited. Additionally, it undermines public confidence in the immigration process, making it more challenging to implement fair and effective policies.

Yet, Elon just fired 20 immigrant judges to slow down the processing of immigration applications. While a mass of people trying to cross our border is wrong, we should be encouraging people to follow the proper legal channels, not stopping them. The speedy processing of applications will clear the years long backlog. Either you are in or out, not in limbo. Elon's firing of immigration judges is a thinly veiled attempt to break our immigration system. Don't be fooled.

Who has no problems in life?, it does not mean that you will enter any country by wrong path, you will do anything to reach the great aspiration. A nationalist Indian never supports illegal immigrants, If we are troubled by Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators then other countries will also feel the same. Illegal is illegal, no mercy should be shown to them. Now India got a golden opportunity to deport such illegal infiltrators. The country will not be able to say anything to the Champions of human rights, India should also deport illegal Bangladeshis & Rohingya infiltrators living in India in same process, then no one will be able to speak, the country which is the champion of human rights, country like USA, UK, Canada, Australia. Now this is an alarm bell for Bangladesh and Rohingya infiltrators liveing in india illegally.

Despite being the 5th largest economy, India still faces significant challenges in wealth distribution and visa compliance. While economic strength is a factor in visa approvals, it is not the only consideration. One major issue is visa misuse and overstaying. With a population of 1.4 billion, even if 10% were to overstay in foreign countries, that would be 140 million people—almost half the population of the United States. This creates serious concerns for immigration systems worldwide, leading to strict visa vetting processes for Indian applicants.\nFurthermore, while India’s economy is large, the majority of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. A high GDP does not necessarily mean the average citizen enjoys financial security. Many people seek better opportunities abroad, sometimes through illegal means, which further justifies the need for stringent immigration policies.\nAnother issue that affects how Indians are perceived abroad is the behavior of some tourists. While not all are at fault, a growing number of incidents involving disrespectful behavior, disregard for local laws, and unruly conduct have led to Indian tourists gaining a negative reputation in some countries, including Nepal. This has made them among the least desired tourists in certain regions.\nUltimately, visas are not just about how much money a country has. Factors like overstays, illegal migration risks, and tourist behavior all play a role in shaping immigration policies. Respect and reputation are earned, not entitled. If you want to be welcomed and respected abroad, it’s essential to create a positive impression through responsible actions and cultural sensitivity.

illegally process becomes end ?

When I was a kid, if you felt threatened on your land (in Texas) you’d get shot no questions asked. My whole life I knew in the south if you screw around you’re gonna find out. I still believe that to this very day, maybe that’s all they need. If someone’s discharged multiple rounds at you, it’s a sign that you should turn the heck back. With that being said, if you’re not here legally - get the heck out. We’re completely full and there’s good people waiting in line to go through the legal process and they have a right to be more upset than all of us normal Americans.

They are NOT welcome unless you go through the LEGAL vetting process. This is also happening in EU, UK and IRELAND. RIOTS OVER THESE ILLEGALS.

Stop blaming other countries… we need to find our own mistakes… then we have at least little hope to change our mindset….we have habit of blaming others for our own mistakes..if you are not fitting in the rule- regulations of visa process of- course it will get rejected… most people have fake paper work for visas. \n\nSimple example… if someone enter illegally in our country we will call them terrorist … some countries put them in jail according to illegal act… I appreciate that they are sending them back to their own country… actually we should thank them for saving these people future.\n\nMaharashtra took a step earlier when they send UP citizens out of Maharashtra… in their own country they cannot go to other state.. how you think other countries should let them enter illegally n not take any action… I think we should think before saying anything.\n\nIllegally enter people don’t pay tax… indirectly they put so much pressure on health n other systems…we the tax payer bear that cost.. is that fare ? \n\nThey don’t follow rules of country… they behave similar how they behave in India … they don’t follow health- hygiene , equality rules.\n\nOur country more diverse but no equality… still people get priority based on reach- poor or on caste basis.\n\nIn other country any Indian do something exceptional then we say they are Indian… but no one think that they got that opportunity to prove themself because they were in other country… in our country people doesn’t get opportunity based on their calibre… \n\nWe have habit that we go abroad… earn money… get ideas of business n going back to India we say that’s our own idea… no appreciation at all… so many new businesses has got ideas from other developed countries but no courtesy to appreciate others or thank them.\n\nEven our news channels… everything is happening first time in the world… even it happens so many year earlier in other countries….some people they really don’t know n they believe that…. It’s just playing with people emotions… not providing real information… we all are human beings… we need to appreciate each other… \n\nThese countries have some rules n regulations for human beings to develop equality n equal opportunities. Most of the NRI appreciate that as we haven’t got that in our own country.

Now show the line at the facilities on that side to begin the “legal” process.

As a trans person seeking to escape trump, what is the best course of action? I'm trying the proper route through the immigration process but with how rapidly things are declining in the states for queer people so is it better to take the asylum route or wait the process. I'm personally done with the states and have 0 desire to stay here or ever come back, however what shows that the exact thing happening here wont move it's way up north in the future?

I think it valid to make VISA process strict, but there are some unnecessary POE rejections that needs to stop.

You broke into this country. Come to the US the legal way and you wouldn't of been in chains. I have a few friends from India, and they came here legally, and got their degree's, became citizens, and living a happy life here in America. If you came here illegally, you should of registered where ever you were supposed to be registered and filled out the proper paper work. There are offices everywhere that will help you with the process of becoming a legal citizen.

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

With no due process

What judicial process did they get?

Absolutely, they are going to be in shackles. We have to understand that all of these foreign nationals, violated America’s immigration and border security law and are in the country illegally. They are being deported to Guantánamo in Cuba. Why would any sane person suggest that these individuals be allowed to freely run around in an airplane? Once they get to Cuba, once they are processed at Guantánamo Bay, they will be unshackled and assigned to barracks.

Illegal is illegal doesn't matter about your nationality or the color of your skin! It depends on your legal status and if you didn't come here legally through the process that makes you a criminal and you're not wanted!

Great job We as South Africans are not getting necessary Healthcare because there a millions of illegal foreigners filling our hospital They even cross boarders to come and give birth in our hospitals and South Africans must sleep on the floor while they occupythe beds God forbid if you get sick most of the beds are occupied by illegal foreigners Our government does not accomondate our people Same with our schools Foreigners get admitted while our children go through a long process to be admitted to our own schools Where is the justice

The headline caption is wrong. Trump is doing the right thing. Why dont they enter America through the right process to enter a country. Why through thr back door. Thats a criminal mind set. America was almost turn down to the level trump was almost killed we all saw it. Only God saved him

So what happened to the bipartisan bill to increase funding for more border police, more immigration judges & better processing? The GOP killed it so Trump could accuse Biden during the campaign. Now that Trump's in office, his answer is mass deportation which does NOT solve the root of the problem.\nHey Trump, why not approve the BIPARTISAN immigration bill and send real help to the border, instead of fostering this kind of panic?

Im Filipino American and I went thru the legal process. I paid the fees and waited. I am now living in the philippines with my husband who is also American. We couldnt afford to live in America with our pension alone. Heard this people getting aids and free food is unfair

Most Americans don't know that the trouble in Venezuela like most other countries south of our border, was more than likely caused by US interference. For decades our government has financed regime changes at the request of American corporations. Us companies take advantage of natural resources and cheap labor to get maximum profits at the expense of the other countries. Anytime politicians tried to look out for the best interest of their country and people, we financed any opposition that would disrupt their government from enacting change. Our tax dollars. Then, when immigrants come up because of poverty and violence, who can blame them? We all would do the same. Decades of under-funding immigration services and courts make it a years long process that most can't afford to wait for. America is a huge country. We have room. They aren't talking your job. And the vast majority are not criminals. But, the wealthy and powerful people need you to be distracted and have a scapegoat for you to blame for everything. Quit idolizing the wealthy. That includes either party.

The only people who are here illegally should feel uneasy. You’re breaking the law by crossing ILLEGALLY into the US. This would be no different if I was to cross into another country illegally. They would have the right to remove me from their country and face legal charges for breaking their laws. Unfortunately illegal immigrants were getting away with it under the Biden administration which has caused chaos in the US. Now Trump is having to clean up the mess it’s caused and hold people accountable for breaking the law. I have friends and a wife that all went through the legal process to become a US citizen. It’s not fair to the people who are going through the legal process by letting them get away with it and giving them VIP treatment for breaking the law. This is absurd!

Sorry Africans and all other illegals,but this is NOT your country or your culture. The US has a process for accepting LEGAL migration to our nation. But you've chosen to bypass that, and jumped the line ahead of people doing it the right way. This isn't your country if you disregard our laws.

This woman is disgusting, it has been shown that people that applied for a Visa in 2001 haven't been to court yet!!! Why does the process take so long???

THIS is what needs to be broadcast though all MEDIA but of course they won't. Legal Mexican immigrants, and I know many, are in FAVOR of Trump deportation policy. When you are a immigrant and went through the legal process, like my family, you get extra angry at these criminals!

Jews should just embrace their multicultural future. There is no ROOM in Israel for Racism. Israel is not going to be the monolithic society it once was. They are going into a multicultural mode. It is a huge transformation for Israel to make, which must take place! We are going to be at the center of that process. We may be resented for our leading roll, but without that leading roll, and without that transformation, Israel will not survive.

Paid for by the Democrat party. \n\n\nPeople forcing themselves across another nations sovereign border is the definition of an invasion. \n\nWe finally have a government who doesn’t simply sit back and quietly process them in, and this is what they do. \n\nIllegal is the perfect definition of these people.

Come in the LEGAL way and you are welcome here in the USA ??! I am a 1st generation Ethiopian?? immigrant to the USA and came here legally. Legalized processes allows the US to vet each candidate ensuring safe potential immigrants. I fully suppirt this. Thank you, President Trump.

Who in their right mind brings a baby, riding on an adult’s shoulders, to a push and shove protest, trying to break into a country? The United States is a sovereign nation. Knock on the door and politely request admittance, going through the legal process.

right!-----US businesses---big and small helped drove illegal undocumented immigrants to work for them..for low to nothing pay, to avoid paying the proper tax, avoid the hassle of process of legal workers. You should look into those businesses hiring illegal undocumented immigrant and workers!

If no reason were rejected, why would you even need a visa process then ?

U cnt run away frm ur country,who wil solve ur problems if learn to run away...thres a process ,a legal process nt thru this??

“Illegal’. Is the key word. It doesn’t matter what country you came from. As President Trump has made very clear, coming to this country illegally is illegal. Hence the word illegal. \nWe actually have A LAW against it. \nIt’s the same in other countries. I’ve been to Africa and I can guarantee you I would never have been able to stay there without the legal process that Africa requires.

Trump has put the USA in a world of Hurt. China has just imposed a 100% ban on the export of all product using precious metals to the USA. Pretty much everything we use today has a component in it made of precious metal, military equipment, cell phones, tv ,telecommunication equipment, Automobiles and many many other things. Canada is still selling the raw metals to China and receiving the chips and circuit boards back to continue their production process.....If you think Covid disrupted the production process.....Just wait USA is in for a world of economic hurt.

It took my wife 2yrs to process her PR..And $25.000

We don't have enough manpower to process rape kits, but somehow these are found guilty

I’ve read many comments urging Canada to reduce its exposure to the us. It’s reasonable but that doesn’t happen overnight. Refineries, for example, are custom built - they can’t process all crudes. They’d cost several billion to build and at least 3-5 years; plus, you need railways and port infrastructure to ship out oil or its byproducts. This should have been started in 2017 (trump’s 1st term). In the short term, free trade zones within Canada and Mexico may alleviate some of the tariffs.

I hope CNN is on the America’s side of this… me and my family were once an immigrant who went through due process and with God’s love, we are proud to be American. But I also pray for these families who are truly looking for a better life..

In regards to the Mexican lady, she is as I write, in the process of learning the hard way to comply.

Only US thing i consume are digital services. American cars are junk, no better than chinese brands like jac or MG, american food is just processed junk, so i rarely ate it, but no more. \n\nCancelled Netflix, HBO and amazon primer for different reasons each (and most of them is because they don't work in UAe and expect me tonpay twice ????).\n\n I'm thinking about shifting to linux, but i would still be usinh google apps like YT and my phone. \n\nI have been doing my part since a while ago as american goods and services are overpriced for low quality

All Canada has to do is fix its own drug problem, they’ll be helping fix our drug problem in the process.

I think Trump should focus on Canada's 1 per cent of fentanyl . The Mexican 99 percent contributes the ingredients that some Canadians process and export , Ignore that the drug and GUNS come north.

Its a poker game. America always wins. Trump knows what he is doing. Just trust the process. Canada and Mexico needs the US more than we need them.

Go fix your own problems. We are in the process of fixing what you broke.
