This is all Governor Abbott's fault. With his open Texas border policies, it's ruining this country. Why do they keep on reelecting Governor Abbott?

Good open borders content well done vice

Please be aware that most of what this video purports is FALSE and not based on facts. For instance, migrants don't get a free health care plan or stipends from the U.S. government. However, once they are released into the U.S. while their case is pending, they may receive some assistance from non-profit organizations or community groups, such as food, clothing, or short-term housing in government or NGO-run facilities while their cases are reviewed. They only receive emergency medical care if required. Also, the US does not have open borders like the video states, thats a lie. Migrants can only legally enter the U.S. from Canada through designated ports of entry by presenting valid documentation, such as a visa or a passport from a country in the Visa Waiver Program.

Garbage propaganda. No same modern country would want open borders.

We citizens that have been here are barely getting by but these illegals get everything handed to them border wide open and then the same politicians want these same illegals to vote for them ? we are fucked if Trump doesn't win

Dont know if ppl are seeing this but when the democrats in America open the borders thats when immigration started to explode in Canada and Europe the ppl are fed up with it

No you do not have complete open borders.

Stop open borders. You will not survive if you get a whole country in.

More diversity for China & India! Chinese army is all Chinese. India army is all Indian. Where's the diversity?????? Diversity & open borders for Isreal!

Ever since Trudeau opened up the borders making it very laxed for these 3rd world countries to enter Canada has become a dark hole.. 70s,80s,90s when it was difficult to enter the country strick border protection to protect us has gone down the drain. I wish it went back to the Era where CBSA use to enter factories or any work place and asked for citizenship if they deported. I’m a man of colour young and I notice the change in my native land.. it needs to go back to the way it once was… Make Canada Great Again

Saudis, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and Jordan are helping reach humanitarian aid NOT TO GAZA but TO ISRAEL by opening their ports, roads, and borders....so that essential supplies can go to Israel nonstop...LOLzzzz

As a Canadian, I can tell you that we’re going through a massive demographic change and housing crisis due to Trudeau‘s open border policy. Our country has been destroyed in his 9 years in office ?

The question is if there are thousands of miles of wide open border why do they storm the one couple of miles that are closed

We are currently in the midst of a housing crisis in Canada, which is being exacerbated by an immigration policy where the border is wide open without any consideration for the lack of housing, hospital beds, schools, etc. The politicians here had better start paying attention, because what is currently happening in the UK is going to start happening everywhere.

Most people support limited legal immigration. The wide open borders policies in Canada and the US are total failures for everyone.

What country allows free open borders! We can’t afford all the people. this is ridiculous! Ruining The Big Apple! Ugh!!

Remember, Harris is part of the problem of open borders

Blame Turdeau. He loves open borders. He’s trying to destroy Canada through inviting in all the riff raff.

Let’s just ask Canadians if we want to keep our border open for a free for all of migrants..THE ANSWER IS NO !!

Saudis, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, and Jordan are helping reach humanitarian aid NOT TO GAZA but TO ISRAEL by opening their ports, roads, and borders....so that essential supplies can go to Israel nonstop...LOLzzzzzzz

The madness of this open borders is just unbelievable.

If they can fly to Canada from around the world, then they are not poor. These are economic migrants who are using the open borders to take advantage of the current situation.

This is what happens when the president opens the borders now everybody thinks they can just come on in

Texas won a lawsuit that demands for the border wall to be built. I suppose news got out to these moochers and now they're getting into the US from the other opened door. We're toast.

Republicants decided open borders would make good policy politically

Democrats open borders ??

I live in Michigan close to the Canada border and human and drug trafficking is out of control and all our local resources for our poor elderly are being depleted by the open borders

More money to spend on illegal immigrants than American citizens.this is from the Biden and Harris open Borders.

All of this should be blamed on Joe Biden‘s fault for years ago and not to mention, I don’t know why these people wonderful Kamala Harris as well do she is following the same path as Biden is doing to remember what Trump said that he’s going to control all of this and flip the owner of a verse card to go back to normal but these people are literally a Simp for asking for destruction and the fact that New York City is close to Canada than where had been the border even been doing the border is like wide-open dude close it up but nope lazy Joe Biden and now soon about to be Kamala Harris they just gonna keep it open dude this country needs to be clean up June 2020 messed up the whole shit sorry for my language but it’s true I know there are a few mispronounce words, but I am going crazy with this news right now

We have a housing shortage but the border is wide open?

When one border closes, another one opens ?

NYC residents voted to be a sandusky city. Funny how they want open borders until it starts to affect them. Hypocrites.

3 million people entered Canada from the US since since covid. Roxem rd New York to Quebec . Both governmemt are opening the borders

Why do you think Joe Biden's approval ratings are so low? America needs to get rid of democrats. They think its great for America to have open borders, no matter what it costs American tax payers.

The biggest problem right now about Western nations are not migrants. It's our own people fighting us on border issues. It's basically a civil issue. Why anyone is for open borders and replacement is beyond me.

Mexican cartels, prisoners & jihardists! All thanks to jbiden administration for opening the border!

That's awesome, thanks to Biden and Cumila. Just wait if she is elected. The USA will turn into the land of illegal migrants. Cumula will continue to open our border and Rent will be alot higher.

Canada is an open border country. Thank you Justin Trudeau

0:55 thank goodness Canada has the decency to protect its border and arrests these criminals. anyone who doesn't know about Chile being the only latin American country w/an open visa policy&the fact organized criminals are exploiting this to do elaborate burglaries in the US(they even use Gillie suits like military personnel) do some research. the US is under attack!

Thanks, Biden and Kamala!! This is just what we need... open borders while Americans suffer, high prices, threatened social security, indoctrination of our kids, twerking for votes, and hot sauce in handbags. THANKS AGAIN!!

LOOK WHAT YOU STARTED BIDEN!!!!!!<<<BY OPENING THE BORDERS GREAT JOB FOR SCREWING UP THE SYSTEM!!!!!!!! THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM BIDEN ,,, NO more ice cream for you biden

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.

Well, if DC is fine with the open Southern border, then why wouldn't they be fine with an open Northern border?

Yeah, no kidding. I live minutes away from the Canadian border in NY, almost in between two international bridges. I've personally seen bus loads of illegal aliens at our Wal-Marts, laundry mats, and grocery stores. We have a reservation on our border which is in both the US and Canada and that's been a smuggling hub for ever. We also have a stretch of land border, that is alot of farm land and is wide open.

KAMALA HARRIS IS RECKLESS, IRRESPONSIBLE PERSON WHO INCHARGE OF THE BORDER, SHE LEFT THE BORDER OPENED TO THIS DANGEROUS MIGRANTS..........WHAT'S NEXT ?

We have a globalist traitor running Canada. Open borders. 25% of Canadians live in poverty, guess the handouts are better in the USA.

Southern and Northern border are wide open into USA and funding ILLEGALS at the cost of Americans paying now and later under puppet Joe’s FRIENDS and BOSSES.

I’m not surprised!! All of our borders are wide open!!!??

Hopefully Pierre Poilievre will be the next prime minister, he's not too keen on this stuff. The time has come for the world to have tough, no-nonsense leaders. Things have gotten way out of hand everywhere. It's terrible that there are oppressed peoples, but sometimes people (thousands of miles away) have to try and take matters into their own hands in their homelands, or head somewhere closer to their borders. Not to mention that so many desperate young men coming here turn to crime immediately, join or form gangs, etc., thanks to our stupid leaders opening up the floodgates.

The voters in NYC keep reelecting leaders that give them these policies. It appears that US voters will also keep the same party in the White House that is keeping the borders open.\nSo quit complaining. The US voters WANT this.
