It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

We each have our little flickers of time here... No one else will ever know much, if any, of what it is like to be who we are, and for the most part no one will ever really care. Our life is ultimately our life, and so long as we are not harming others in the process we must create a life of our own meaning, determining our own objects of importance and committing to their pursuance. Throughout our life we are faced with serious decisions about what we believe, who we are, and what we do, and mostly none of it is self evident. If we look we can always find a reason to regret any decision we make, move or stay, agree or disagree, take the job or quit, marry or divorce, live one path or another... In all cases whatever the choice may be, we will only know the outcome of the one we take, and none we take will ever ultimately resolve the uncertainty of life. However, perhaps it is less about getting a potential course of life right, and more about attempting to do so with an effort of self honesty and virtue. To live a life that can be looked back on with the knowledge that some of our decisions were wrong in their effects, but right in their intention of not selling ourselves short. Ultimately no matter what we do or say or believe, there will always be a great many who disagree, or judge, or become upset by our decisions. It is of essential importance that we ensure that among those people, we are not one of them.

Wow hell fire what is this mad mad world coming too -- Emily to be fair the reason you are a decorated combat hero flying one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world is primarily because you are a man !! I do like Trans people but to be heading up the military as women is just crazy it really is ... And I'm not a prude I have served in the military and combat but I just can't and never will be able to accept this woke nonsense.... \nIt's like gay people being allowed to have children also madness ...

Not very good reporting, as the host only presented one side of the story. Give me one country which doesn’t love tourists’ money (maybe Spain)….. If the host cares to think about the underlying reasons, it is not that difficult to figure out why the rejection rate is so high. Sorry to say, but it totally makes sense.

so let's pose a question to all those who seem to just hate the LGBTQIA+ community for whatever their reasons are....if someone who happens to be transgender saves your life, saves the life of one of their team members or perhaps leads an OP to a successful outcome, would you say that they were unqualified after the fact ? would you say that now as the regulations are being changed that they were never qualified to have performed those duties in the past ?? I've said this before, when you're downrange you don't give a damn if someone has a taco or a hotdog in their lunchbox, all that matters is that they've got your six and are willing to complete the directive as ordered. Every single one of you haters needs to realize that so many LGBTQIA+ service members have dedicated their efforts to keeping your asses safe in this country since the inception of the uniformed services were established. Should they not have done so ? Why does who they love, have sex with or how they dress actually matter to you as long as you're still able to go out and feed your fat ass an all American Cheeseburger under the watchful eye of the American Flag ?! And at the end of the day, all they ask is to be able to serve their country with dignity. It's disgusting that so many of y'all simply hate other folks this way and try to diminish the service of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Another reason we are laughed at across the globe. Grown men playing dress up is one thing but our commanders? ????? LOL

I was in the Navy 1976-1996. I came in when women were looked down on by sailors. They had their reasons, but things changed in the 80s. Women served on ships, filled most rates, flew planes, captained commands on shore and at sea (surface and sub). There were issues with gays, and now there's this. I have always thought that as long as one can do the job and not discredit the Navy, have at it and I'm glad to serve with you. USN / USNR E-8 retired

The younger generations see war as a wasteful destructive endeavour. There really is NO reason in this day and age for wars to even exist. It comes down to crappy men, deluded by power, who are desperate to leave some mark on the world. It’s stupid, it’s wasteful, and against everything a Christian is supposed to stand against according to their faith. THOU SHALL NOT KILL. The second you break that one, you don’t get to go to heaven, ever.

I'm no Trump supporter whatsoever I honestly think the man is Despicable but what Democrats need to realize is this was one of the main reasons they lost the election there's a lot of people that just don't agree with trans or lgbtq plus issues they don't they don't say anything because they don't want to lose their jobs or be ostracized but to be honest most people don't agree with this stuff

Yeah, uh, this WOKE nonsense is out of hand. It was getting to a point of no return. It is one of the reasons why he was elected. It will NEVER matter the makeup or what body parts are cut off. You were born a boy or girl. The end!

You spend too much time on issues of such little concern. This is one of the reasons that so many people have turned on CNN and why many have voted for Republicans in the last election. Frankly if I was transgender, treated the way they are by Republicans, I would quit the military.

Wokeness like this is one of the reasons I transitioned to Trump. MAGA!

No one cares about this issue. This is the reason the Dems lost across the board. The leftists news only reports on things that only matter to a small minority of the US.

2 year old clip they are resurfacing. CNN is fake news and this is just one reason why

The libs cry that we are heartless when we say close the borders ? ? I have one thing to say to them......... Go to their country and try to force your way in, without being properly vetted and see how far you get!! I promise you, the US is a lot more merciful than any other country would be towards people trying to force their way in, or sneak in!!!!! You would be pew pewd on the spot or thrown in a prison you don't want to be in. And that's after they torture you. America has been weak, when it comes to illegals. And they see that. If you still think we are wrong for closing the border, to protect our country, you need to pack up and leave.... We do not know a thing about this people coming across, and you wouldn't let some stranger into your home, without first knowing who they are and what their reason is for coming in!! We need to be this way at every port of entry into this country.

No tourist visas for Indians they don't do tourism ,there is a reason for every visit to other nations and a nefarious one always

Undocumented?? They are criminals here illegally CNN quit your political correct garbage. Your viewers want to hear the truth, not some washed down soft version of the animals that are being deported. Wonder why your going under, that is one of the reasons. \n\nThank You President Trump for getting these illegals out of our once safe country. CNN, you don't get any thanks hurry up and go bankrupt please.

This is one reason why colonisation is good for other nations. This would never have happened..

Free s*** that's the only reason you moved because you're not a type of person who has loyalty for anything but your own people. No one is more my people than a black man. Except for maybe a Jewish person.

The globalist ordered them to over run it for political reasons. Because it was heavily organized when, scheduled caravan from mexico. They don't care if they get hurt spiritually or bodily. The globalist need to be held accountable for ordering this. Racketeering invasion. Ngos handle these people. Those people are given false promises. Their handlers are illegal and the immigrants also are willing to be illegal. God speaks about the lawless ones in the bible having a hard road.

While I do not condone what she did I also do not agree that buying housing as an investment should be allowed either. If this country had a surplus of housing then investment could be allowed. However this is not and has not been the case. This is one reason why many Canadians can not afford to purchase housing. Invest in something that does not hurt the economy and those around you. If you invest in housing and loose don't come crying to me. You took the risk, like any other investor and lost. That's the game. Now you want my tax dollar to bail you out.

Colombia’s request is reasonable and fair, I don’t understand why the Trump administration would retaliate. They clearly haven’t coordinated with their Colombians counterparts and things fell apart. Why does the world have to suffer because of the whims of one person?

One reason why I didn't vote for this man he ?is closings all doors to all Americans passport holders ,now Colombia doors may be closed.The American Passport will be very weaker now, I wouldn't be able to travel any where The United States ?? is turning like North Korea because of President Trump .Not good I am screwed

One of the many reason white people living on the street is because when indian get a job they do everything possible to please the boss.gifts.food compliments ect to get to boss in their pocket as soon as the opportunity is there.they bring indians workers and white dont get the jobs.because the indians already bought the boss with gifts compliments and dark secrets ..open your eyes before is too late white people.. another thing indians they look friendly and inocent but they are not .they dont get alone among themselves..india.Banglades.pakistan.srilanka.they dont like each other.Do you think the would like you??

THE REASON THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND IS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TIED UP LIKE PRISONERS. THE COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT SENT TWO PLANES HIMSELF TO GO PICK THEM UP UNTIED AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO COLUMBIA ON A PLEASANT FLIGHT ALSO Columbia hit TRUMP right back with their own tariffs and now our coffee prices are going up AT LEAST 50% We’re in a trade war with one of our closest allies or used to be. We don’t have any allies left in the world thanks to Donald Trump. I mean, even the roses for people’s weddings are gonna be a 50% Donald Trump is a f’ing idiot.

And this is the part where colombia will retaliate by dropping the Petro dollar. People have to understand the US is on thin Ice for using what was supposed to be a fair tradeable currency and one of the reasons why many countries adapted it in the 50s but since we have been weaponizing it expect Nations to drop the dollar to minimized the US influence in what is supposed to be an open international market.

You just said a part of the story, what is the reason why Petro turn back immigration flight??? If you are an immigrant, you are no a delinquent, Petro just required that deported people were treated as equal as any one other. But they sent them with handscuff on hand and feet. Why?? They have no do any felony convictions. Why you don’t say that.

Imagine you have your family, including small kids and older parents in your home and had one extra room for rent, you put ads out in the paper and interview some people for the spot, but while you are doing that, someone walked in your door and put all their things in your the room and then expected you to totally be cool with it. Anyone in their right mind, would be frustrated, even if that person was really nice and and said they'd pay rent. Any sane person would say, leave, go through the interviews, background checks, and then we'll see if it works out. It's not that you don't want to help them, but you have an order and a procedure that is in place for many reasons. \n\nImmigration is the same. It's not that the administration is anti-immigrant. We welcome ANYONE to come, you just need to come through the approved channels.

One more reason to take the Panama Canal back.

One reason why this non affiliated party NY voter voted for Donald j Trump. The Biden Harris administration can kiss all our legal asses!!!!????????

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 !! ????

Palki they have their own reason for rejection, not just simply rejecting, as you said rejection rate is nearly 10 or 15% only, what do you say about granted percentage, don't think that every visa applications will be granted, one first needs to fulfill the visa requirements.

Exactly a point of media advertising. The prinary reason for us being shunned is very high even in countries that she mentioned are friendly clou tries the locals there look down on Indians as we are considered messy and ones who cant keep our garbage in our pockets

Ms. Sharma went to Oxford and gave a cringeworthy performance about the supposed strength of Indian passport and how it is the envy of the word. So. didn't expect much substance from the propaganda spreading jingoistic journalist. She conveniently missed mentioning the real reasons why visa applications of Indians get rejected -\n1) Thousands of Indians go on tourists visas only to 'disappear' and never return. It doesn't just happen in Canada, US, UK, Aus but also welcoming countries like Thailand, UAE.\n2) Indian Visa (to visit India) itself is one of the most expensive and complicated to get for foreigners, so other countries have no incentive to make it easier for Indian citizens.\n3) Developed countries know that if they make it 'easier' for Indians to travel to their country, they will end up with tens of thousands who wont want to go back to India. It is already the case when its difficult to get a visa, imagine the situation if its made easier.\n4) Most of the Indian tourists fall under the mass category, they are not like the heavy spending Chinese tourists. We are not the most well behaved, so till we start getting more affluent, we wont be in as much demand.

One addition to the reason is also there are a lot of fraud documents and applications from India resulting in more stringent scrutiny.

The time for getting a green card for Indians in USA is very long now. That may be one of the reasons.

There's only one reason - ZERO Civic Sense. Sabse ghatiya behaviour rehta hai Indians tourists ka bahar. Money can take you places but Money can't buy you class, civic sense and politeness, is very accurate in this case.

Mom. Here is the answer, don't jump before tge gun. Your population, and they bring one way tickets so that's the reason running from.the poverty

The reason is that some Indian finds it difficult to integrates.\n\n I know one Indian lady that have lived in one country for over 20 years and the lady cannot speak the language of that country. What a shame! \n\nSecondly, many of them like to dominate or discriminate against other people. It has been alleged that some Indian people discriminate against others in many places they work. For instance! Where their people are in charge in Canada, they will not offer jobs to none Indian. They preferred to give the job to an illegal immigrants from india than to give it to someone else who has complete paper work. \nThe video is on YouTube. \n\nIllegal immigrants from India protest boldly in Canada asking government to give them papers but reserve is the case in India. If an illegal immigrants is found anywhere in India, the name of that person is sorry. Too many foreigners are in India prisons for minor offence or immigration matters. I can go on and and on. \n\nVisa rejection is not a bad thing!!! Everyone must protest his or her own. \n \n\nIf it is possible, everyone should stay in their own country. No movement. Do business with your own people. No international business!!! \n\nOur ancestors survived without others, therefore we can survive too. \n\nI know many people will not like this comment but it is an opinion. \n\nI still like India but will not live there. Good luck to them. \n\n\nIn my view their ascent contributes to numerous visa denials. Let's say 10% . Then 30% is forgery. It has been alleged that some of them do too many documents forgery to get to Canada or whereever they wish to travel.\n Then \n10% is women maltreatment. (stories of rape etc). \n\n Finally, india is very big, they need to use their population as a tool for development. They have all it takes to be like China. 100%\n\nWake up Indian government. Look after your citizens or divide the damn country. It is too big. ?

Believe or not because of the behavioural issues also become one reason for rejection. Maybe not a big reason but it definitely should consider. Any immigrant who enters to a country must obey the rules and policies, respect others, environment, culture etc. in Canada from some cities other nations are moving out out due this people are trying to make here as their country in all aspects. Most of them are really loud in stores and anywhere we go. Definitely there should be some behavioural lessons for them for sure. Some make illegal documents. Some so gossipy at work places. Some tell so much lies to reach higher places at work. Some are gangsters. We have other nations but I personally see only very few nations don’t blend well with the country. Every country have people as mentioned above but it’s more commonly we see and noticed in some cultures due to poor and no proper education. It’s unfortunate

How are you not addressing one of the main reasons for this being the illegal immigration?\nAlso let’s not forget the reputation we as Indian have abroad.

Honestly one of the reason is Achar and Methi smells.

Our illiterate PM is one of the reason then our mannerless ppl who never respect other countries values ??

Spitting anywhere and everywhere MUST BE one of the reason and using washrooms should be taught to them before they leave India????

Some comments are correct… illegal immigration is one major reason.. i feel population is so high, countries are scared what if all Indians go to their country.. and they don’t want poor brown people ?

For almost one year qatar has been rejecting Indian Hindu visas but still we don't know the reason behind.. it is being rejected from the security department of qatar unofficially.\nNo one is looking after that many people are suffering a lot because of this.. god please help us.

Because our govt is not teaching compulsory civic sense training to those who are going outside country. Those already out there are already setting bad examples in the name of Indian and causing one of the major reason for your heading.

Raja Gujar can be one of the reason

if they are being rejected by so many countries then there is some reason.\nif it was rejected by one or two countries then you can blame those countries..but every where we r being rejected

Going out f India and spreading hate in those countries in the name of religion is one of the reason. Example - Canada , UK
