Liberal canada is hell bent on destroying the country. violent crime offenders getting out of jail, refugee claims and asylum seekers getting same benefits as residents and citizens, handing out billions of dollars to other countries, opening doors to drug cartels and organized crimes to buy properties in the country which fuels housing prices to soar, capital gains tax increases , carbon taxes on people and industries. these are just a few.

I know a lot of asylum seekers & rejected ones who are legally working. This guy will try anything just to get elected. Sad

These immigrants have it too good! Wow, a whole four dolllars per prescription. I’m paying more than that in all my co pay and I live below the poverty line! Hell, I have to pay seventeen dollars in co pay for Spiriva just so I can breath and these damn asylum seekers get it for four bucks?! These freeloaders have got to go! Born and raised in Canada. Paid taxes since I was sixteen and this is my payback! Then they wonder why Canadians are starting to resent and actually hate these immigrants. Sorry but not sorry!!!!

Non of the liberal's immigration ministers were responsible and did not do anything to stop mass immigration and fake asylum seekers!

Just like the Democrats in the US did. Let in all kinds of illegals and "asylum seekers" to get their votes.

Two Solutions: 1- Must remove asylum seekers quicker, 6 months? 2- THe Supreme Cpourt, unelected and appointed must stop MAKING LAWS, the job of our Elected Representatives.

In simple terms Canadians pay for their glasses, physio, mental health help, prescriptions and asylum seekers get it for free after never paying into the system.

Also if these "asylum" seekers go back on vacation to where they claim to be persecuted from...deport.

It is ridiculous asylum seekers are treated better than a local born homeless person who may have worked all his/her life. No logic at all!

Another fact if a skilled immigrant like a Doctor come to Canada under a skilled immigrant program , apply wait in home country and gets his PR before coming.. the doc need to show funds to support him/her and the family. He/she gets shit from the Govt , the Doc has to spend his/her own money to get credentials recognized, go back to uni at own cost . While asylum seekers gets everything free doing shit all day.

If the liberals stay in power much longer Canadians will be asylum seekers themselves.

We need 0 asylum seekers and need to be deporting every single one

Even if they are LEGIT asylum seekers, why aren't they paying for medical care? The only thing I could rationalize covering would be acute life saving treatment, not long term care (like chemo).

Immigration is a federal responsibility, not provincial and Canada should remain a welcoming country to all immigrants imo, but, if you're here on a work or student visa, newcomers should have to prove employment, training, full-time enrollment, and residency on a quarterly basis. It would drastically limit people becoming ghosts in the system. Refugees and asylum seekers should be allowed 1 appeal only and removed immediately if their claim has been denied. A 90-day grace period should be enacted to get their paperwork and affairs in order. If you're here for a better life, steps should be taken to ensure you're actively trying to accomplish that goal until citizenship is granted. Jmho.

STOP ALL IMMIGRATION INCLUDING REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS UNTIL THE DEBT IS GONE

No more benefits for 'asylum" seekers or immigrants. Let NGOs and private funds pay for it. All these benefits and government money bring abuse and grift. Turn off the taps, send them back.

Vassy = Liberal + Pro mass immigration + Loves asylum seekers more than Canadians

Too many illegal asylum seekers coming in from the Quebec border sanctuary cities like Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Montreal, and the greater GTA

Yesterday in question period, a Lib MP stated that the CONS were on the Committee that reviewed asylum seeker Healthcare. They knew how much it would cost this year and agreed to the cost cutting changes. This crap is just more rage farming for the base.

Understand the term “asylum” seekers where they are coming from and why!! Demand for better healthcare services when you vote next time rather than gaslighting this issue. There are rules and laws in place, universally applicable covenants that protect vulnerable folks. Things shouldn’t have to be that divisive.

Conservatives grasping at straws now. What issue can we find that will make Canadians angry. "The illegal asylum seekers are getting better benefits than tax paying Canadians." LMAO

Asylum seekers should not get any coverage at all.

I don't have coverage for physiotherapy which I could really use. I have to pay out of pocket for all of it. Why do asylum seekers get it for free?

Why doesnt Vassey understand. I have to pay for glasses, physio, medications but asylum seekers get it all free. Its so basic.

Vassy is not a stupid woman, however, she is being deliberately obtuse as she desperately tries to find fault with this proposed motion. Anyone with half a brain can see that it is specifically directed at proven, bogus asylum seekers and those whose Visas have expired and have no right to even remain in Canada. Also, I don't care what kind of a mess a legitimate asylum seeker is fleeing, I do not believe anyone "from away" is entitled to better health care benefits than Canadian citizens.

We are encouraging fraudulent asylum seekers. Overhaul the whole system. There is no reason why Mexicans, Indians and those from functioning democracies should be allowed to seek asylum. Leave voluntarily or be removed forcibly with no prospect of future return.

Pierre Poilievre’s Immigration Hypocrisy: A Study in Convenient Principles Disguised as Conviction Pierre Poilievre has never met a border he did not want to fortify, a refugee claim he did not want to scrutinize, or an irregular crossing he did not want to turn into a national morality play. For years, he has warned Canadians that the country is being overrun by “illegal border crossers,” “queue jumping asylum seekers,” and “abusers of the system.” He delivers these warnings with the solemnity of a man announcing a biblical plague, not a handful of exhausted families walking across a ditch in Quebec. In Poilievre’s political universe, Roxham Road is not a rural footpath. It is a symbol of national decline. It is chaos incarnate. It is the place where the rule of law goes to die. It is, in short, the perfect stage upon which he can perform his favorite role: the lone defender of order in a world gone soft. At least, that is the story he tells the public. The private story, as publicly reported, is considerably less heroic. The Public Record That Refuses to Behave: According to reporting from The Breach and the National Observer, someone described as the uncle of Poilievre’s spouse has an immigration history that reads like a greatest hits compilation of everything Poilievre claims to oppose. The reporting outlines that he entered Canada and made a refugee claim. That claim was refused. A deportation order was issued. He later re-entered Canada through Roxham Road. He then filed a humanitarian and compassionate application. Poilievre’s spouse reportedly helped prepare that application. This is not fringe gossip. This is what journalists documented through correspondence, interviews, and immigration records. In other words, the exact pathway Poilievre condemns as “abuse of the system” is the same pathway publicly reported to have been used by someone connected to him. And suddenly, the man who treats Roxham Road like a national security breach becomes quieter than a library at midnight. The slogans stop. The outrage evaporates. The border, once a sacred line, becomes a flexible suggestion. The Rhetoric: A Symphony of Outrage: Poilievre’s immigration rhetoric is a carefully orchestrated performance. He warns that irregular border crossings undermine the rule of law. He insists humanitarian and compassionate applications are loopholes. He claims the system is being gamed. He declares that Canada must “take back control.” He delivers these lines with the moral certainty of a man who believes compassion is a gateway drug. In his speeches, asylum seekers are not people. They are symbols. They are props. They are the raw material from which he fashions his political identity. He is the sheriff. They are the threat. The border is the battleground. And Canada is the damsel in distress. It is a compelling narrative. It is also a narrative that collapses the moment it becomes personally inconvenient. The Reality: A Study in Elastic Principles: When someone connected to Poilievre uses the very same system he condemns, the rules change with breathtaking speed. Irregular border crossings are no longer a crisis. They are a misunderstanding. A technicality. A regrettable but understandable choice. Humanitarian and compassionate applications are no longer loopholes. They are legitimate pathways. Necessary tools. Evidence of a compassionate system. The border is no longer a sacred line. It is a suggestion. A guideline. A flexible concept open to interpretation. It is a remarkable transformation, like watching a man insist that jaywalking is a crime against humanity until his friend does it, at which point it becomes a misunderstood act of civic expression. The Political Convenience of Shifting Standards: Poilievre’s political identity is built on the idea that he alone will restore order. He alone will enforce the rules. He alone will protect Canada from the chaos of irregular migration. But the moment the rules become inconvenient, they are no longer rules. They are preferences. They are vibes. They are whatever he needs them to be in the moment. This is not a minor contradiction. It is a fundamental collapse of the moral architecture he has built his political brand upon. If irregular crossings are a crisis, then they are a crisis for everyone. If humanitarian applications are loopholes, then they are loopholes for everyone. If the system is broken, then it is broken for everyone. But Poilievre’s version of justice is not universal. It is conditional. It is situational. It is deeply, profoundly personal. The Broader Pattern: Institutions Are Sacred Until They Are Not: This is not the first time Poilievre’s principles have proven to be more flexible than advertised. He has attacked the Supreme Court of Canada when its rulings do not align with his political needs. He has accused the justice system of being too lenient when it suits him and too harsh when it does not. He has framed himself as the defender of institutions while undermining them whenever they become inconvenient. It is a pattern. It is a habit. It is a worldview. And it reveals something essential about his politics. For Poilievre, institutions are not pillars of democracy. They are tools. They are props. They are instruments to be used when helpful and discarded when not. The Satirical Truth: A Philosophy in One Sentence: Pierre Poilievre’s immigration philosophy can now be summarized with clinical precision: Canada must crack down on irregular border crossings, except for the ones that are fine. And he will decide which ones are fine. It is a stance that bends so far backward it could qualify for a gymnastics medal. It is a stance that reveals more about political convenience than national security. It is a stance that exposes the gap between what Poilievre says and what Poilievre does. And it is a stance that makes one thing abundantly clear. Polievre's Hypocrisy

Laughing my head off, immigration officer rounding up criminals and some of them are here illegally, what are the immigration officer going to do when they all demand refugee status or claim asylum seekers, I guess they will be given lodging, food and healthcare, all on the taxpayers dime, Canada is a joke

I love canada but i don’t want canada to become a 3 rd world country, look at the crime, rape , extortion and false claims and the money wasted on asylum seekers, canadians are suffering for these policies . no one ever said temp workers should get a PR , its time to deport and revoke citizenship.

No, what divided the country was Canada's loose immigrant program under the Trudeau Liberals. Over a period of 10 years our population went from 35 million to 41 million people, mostly through immigration. That is an approximate increase of 17%. This increase caused problems with housing, health care, jobs and increased cost to taxpayers because of costs associated with providing services to fake asylum seekers.

Tighten immigration control should prioritze sending away asylum seekers who came here for financial reasons not who are actually working. Labor shortage is real, so is welfare fraud.

Canadian titizen here kick out all refugees and asylum seeker and no welfare for this leaches

Us “old stock” Indians DO NOT WANT THIS BS HERE! Trudeau and his stupid Liberal policies WRECKED immigrations. Now Brampton and most of Canada is overrun with Punjabi “temp workers” “international students” “asylum seekers” etc. They have RUINED what used to be a nicely mixed city of Brampton. It used to be clean, friendly, safe….not anymore. I grew up Brampton all my life and I’ve never been afraid of going out in the evenings or to events, until the last 10 years happened, especially the last 7 years. These new Indian immigrants are NOT respectful, not clean, downright rude, they stare at you if you’re a woman, I mean STARE. Im the summers of you wear a dress or shorts (and you’re an Indian or brown girl) they will yell obscene things and stare you down, it’s disgusting.

This makes me question all of his videos. Its a lovely place to raise a family. Things got worse in covid with mass immigration. But this is selective journalism. Canada needs immigration, it's its refugee and asylum seekers who are a liability. Also as a sikh Indo Canadian. I couldnt care less about Khalistan.

Albertabs proud canadians.. Never want stay with USA agents like ukeaine president. This video spreads only hatread. The only issue is asylum seekers, int students bring millions to canadian e onomy. Stop asylum... Ukraine mainly using asylum...

Why so many Indian Asylum seekers? There is NO WAR in INDIA. Fake refugees, Fake documents, Fake marriages

They dont want to stop the grabe train. I xant prove it but I got the incling that some are financially benefiting from the immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees.

First of all stop all these bogus students and asylum seekers, immigration needs to be rationalized. Canada cant save the world if it cant save itself. Unfortunately people need to leave and we need to limit how many people come here

Get ready for more taxes because we will have to pay free money to 2.5 million more asylum seekers

Trudeau and Jagmeet created this mess. The asylum seekers should stay at their homes.

We have enough asylum seekers we can't even give proper medical care to citizens anymore.

No more immigrants and asylum seekers.

Interesting that you focus on the cost of removal rather than the cost of fake asylum seekers (fraudsters) coming or staying.

Lot of bogus asylum seekers. It’s a great program but it’s being abused by thousands of economic migrants

I worked with a lot of refugees and asylum seekers. They are generally allowed to work hwhilst waiting on their claim to be processed. My experience was they are very hard working, smart and ambitious. Not settling for just collecting welfare or hwhat-not. They are net contributors to Canadian society. Fortunately, the ones I knew had their claims approved. But hwhat if they didn't? hWhat if they lied/exaggerated about the persecution back home. They're still productive members of society. hWhy send em back? Better yet: Don't make em lie in the first place! Let them live and work here indefinitely just because they want to.

Finally it’s happening, don’t let them into the country in the first place. That’s how you save in the costs. Don’t put bogus or real asylum seekers in the hotels and force us the taxpayers pay for it. Let them pay for healthcare and for their own housing, we are sick of paying for them!

This is an immigration and refugee lawyer who owns a law firm and actively represents refugees/asylum seekers and immigrants from other countries who want not wish to become fully Canadian citizens My very important question to her As the principle Is how are you paid for your legal services and representation Lawyers always tell me they can be referred to by Law society of Canada For a 30 minute free legal consultation But once that is paid out by that association that is where lawyers and para legal professionals pay dues to join Then it’s up to those professionals to charge Hourly fee flat rate And All additional charges associated with the file/case law once opened and documents signed So how much does it cost to 1. Refugees claims 2. Asylum seekers claims 3. Immigration claims 4. Detainee claims 5. Deportation claims in the form of Appeals How many can they have Who pays these professionals? When media such as CBC Also government employees who are paid by the federal government Do not ask these questions Which are again Paid to NGOs By us poor taxpayers!!!!! Towards these professionals who represent economic migration and only cost us Canadians more money

All the fake asylum seekers should be sent to peaceful African countries (like Trump is doing) if they fabricate that their life is at risk in their home country. People trying to scam the system should be dealt with innovative solutions...

I’d gladly pay for more resources toward removing these people than for housing and feeding them. And most importantly. Our healthcare system should be prioritized for Canadians first, not for refugees and asylum seekers trying to milk our system for their needs.

Sure, but is Canada accepting all those so called asylum seekers from the US who are trying to escape Trump’s dragnet? Trudeau threw open our borders with his globalist and woke agenda and screwed the immigration system
