Aren’t we fortunate in the US to have **none** of these problems!\n\nWe have no homeless here!\n\nTake a look at SF, LA (where all “solutions” are rooted in Bolshevism; “Hi, we’re from the government and will be taking over half of your front yard for homeless yurts (Ok, tents)--true story. Take a gander at any large, medium, and even a few small cities.\n\nHave you ever heard of Detroit (once proud home of my beloved Motown music), Baltimore (complete devastation), or Chicago (my home town—don’t make me cry)?\n\nThe entire homeless situation started when mental hospitals were snake pits and certain factions demanded that people be released.\n\nSure, it sounds humanitarian but they didn't bother to consider what would happen to mentally ill patients suddenly left to their own devices on the streets.\n\nThe do gooders actually were foolish enough to believe that the seriously ill patients (schizophrenic, bipolar, borderline, and plenty of others) would take their meds on their own. It doesn't work that way for patients who are not in contact with reality.\n\nNow we add extreme drugs (crack, meth, heroine, ketamine, whatever they hand out at parties, etc) and severe cases of PTSD/PTSS. It's obscene that we have veterans on the streets.\n\nHeath care--?. Pre Obamacare it wasn’t terrible but medicine had become a CYA project. We are so litigious (side eye to John Edwards ) that doctors practice defensive medicine and carry high limit malpractice insurance (guess who pays for that?). Every decision is driven by avoiding lawsuits, not proper patient care.\n\nPost Obamacare, US health care is an unmitigated disaster at every level. We’re short on doctors, too. Many quit and students are losing interest—medicine won’t pay enough anymore to justify $500K in loans.\n\nWe could repeal every bit of Obamacare tomorrow and still not be able to fix it. The leviathan grew tentacles that released toxins into every nook and cranny of the system. Now that they have buried themselves in critical layers, it would be impossible to yank them out.\n\nI have a good PCP who is booked 6-8 weeks out. Specialists? Hah. GI, neuro, and derm? Four to six month wait post referral.\n\nI never thought I would say such a thing but I would probably swap the Serial Sexual Predator occupying the WH for your Little Lord Fauntleroy.\n\nCan Canada compete with us in corruption? Government employees seriously tried to topple a sitting president and not only were there no consequences, they were able to retire on fat pensions that we citizens work hard to provide for them.\n\nOur government is run entirely by K Street lobbyists; our “representatives” don’t even draft legislation, that’s done for them by K ST.\n\nHow about crime? Do we even need to talk about it?\n\nHousing crisis? Prices were already too high when the regime (predictably) created runaway inflation and we saw the end of affordable interest rates. Even 0.25% increase will knock out many buyers; they won’t be able to qualify.\n\nWe are seeing huge jumps; young people have resigned themselves to never being homeowners.\n\nRacism? Again, look to the US. It’s nothing even close to what the make believe media caterwauls about. If white supremacists are behind every tree, where is the evidence? Surely, in 2023 has caught a cell phone video, right? Where are the videos? Show me the proof. There is plenty of footage of BLM destroying property and injuring, even murdering innocents. If we gripe about this behavior, we are raaayyyycccciiiiissssts.\n\nNo rational adult would claim that the US is not a violent country and becoming more so. Nor can we claim to have eliminated racism. That takes time; it cannot be done by force.\n\nOur economy went from smokin hot to dumpster fire in a short span of time. Pre election, head hunters were shaking the trees to find job candidates.\n\nOur unemployment is up as are our taxes with the stomping out of the tax cuts. \n\nDespite the endless sloganeering about how the Trump tax cuts only benefited “rich” people, it’s quite the opposite.\n\nHigh earners lost their pet deductions and lower income taxpayers were quite pleasantly surprised when they did their returns. The cuts were targeted to preserve wealth for the middle and lower classes.\n\nI could go on for another 100 pages but you get the idea and I get crabby writing for free.\n\nI will leave you with the caution that it’s best if you doubt and question any data and any stats coming from our government. Those are seldom legit. If the data comes from a study, always look to see who paid for it. And how large the sample size was; how were the participants selected? We are all on our own when it comes to ferreting out info.\n\nOh Canada!\n\nYou’re welcome.

Biggest problem in Canada is the Liberal goverment they are corrupt thieves who need to be held accountable for they’re crimes against the Canadian people karmas a bitch and it’s going to hit them big time can’t wait

If all foreign businesses and investors were required to hire 50% native employees on all levels including management and executives the problems within the continent would change within a decade. They're really needs to be accountability within government also who tend to get extremely rich on the plight of their people.

And the democrats will still insist there's no problem. Shame on you radical left liberals. You don't care about nothing but the vote to keep you in power. You know you're losing the black Americans so you're shifting quickly to illegal immigrants. This needs to stop. Why isn't these other countries held liable ?

Wait a minute CNN you are complicit in this. And you show one women crying. You look at the masses it is 100,000’s of men. And few women and children. And a couple months months ago you said this wasn’t a problem? But hey with how the geo politics are shifting and you can’t control it any more because you’re fake bias so called “news” is propaganda and everyone see right through it that’s why you can barely muster a few likes from old boomers who are going to die in a couple years and you need new cattle for left wing and democrats to ploy as you see fit. Your days are over good riddiance!

Joe bidens votes right here. Along with the white slave masters workers. Same ones that cry about the boarder employ these guys tax free at their company. They’re the real problem.

Maybe they just don't like her in particular...sounds like she has a chip on her shoulder. If you have a problem with everyone maybe you're the problem.

EVERYBODY CAN'T FIT IN AMERICA WE WILL SUFFER. YES THEY'RE OWN GOVERNMENT SHOULD TRY TO FIX THIS EVER GROWING PROBLEM. WE KEEP THIS UP IN THE NEXT SO MANY YEARS WE WILL BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

That's the importance of America's involvement in other countries. The places these people are fleeing is where the answer to this problem resides. Nothing and no one will stop people from trying to get to a better place, it's human nature. Mexico has everything to do with this which creates new avenues for long term changes that would demand their participation, failure to do so would have...consequences. After all, that's where they're coming from prior to crossing into the U.S. This can be corrected.

Got to love media and their slanted presentation of everything to while is appears like they are giving you news, they're really telling you how to think on certain issues.\nWhy now? Why are they doing this? Really?\nUh, I don't know. Maybe because America through policies has caused a lot of problems in south America, destabilizing the area, which causes a lot of migration of a lot of refugees. Or how about how America closed the border to even legal refugees, causing them to pile up at the border. How about how they can't survive just sitting there waiting for the border to open, despite how the excuse for Covid as being the reason for why the border was closed is long gone. How about how the refugees are being attacked and victimized constantly while they wait.\nYet, ya, they're the bad people for becoming so desparate to get out of their terrible situation. Also, how about how amazing it is that supposedly balanced news networks never seem to balance out their reports by including such realities of the situation in their slanted propaganda reports.\nAlso, I see lots of mentions of large homeless populations in America as being the excuse of why America can't possibly help.\nYet, no doubt all these commenters likleu blane homeless people for being homeless despite how the employment is at record lows and employers are desperately looking for anyone to work for them. It's almost like they don't see how the effects of employers offering wages too low to support paying rent being mixed with large investment firms buying up all the Housing stock and enacting policies of constantly evicting current tenants to increase rental prices isn't a major component in the problem.\nThe reality is, the housing crises could be easily fixed by raising minimum wage to a living wage and restricting investment firms from using residential housing as investment stocks especially as one of their tactics seems to be to intentionally not rent out large portions of their housing stock to create a shortage in supply, this driving up demand along with rental prices.\nYou can't honestly complain about the homeless crisis while ignoring the fact that corporations are intentionally keeping rentals empty to drive up rental prices. I'm pretty sure that fits within one of the definitions of insanity.

THE PROBLEM IS THERE COUNTRY SUCKS IF WE WOULD MAKE EVERYTHING EQUAL LIKE THEY SAY they should give them the same opportunities like we have and maybe they won’t come out here!There humans too they’re not coming out here to harm, they are running for there life’s literally!

Uncontrolled heterosexuality causes this. Causes every modern day problem. Yet they say we're the problem.?

Why dont these people be active like this in their own countries and fix their own problems instead of bringing them here? All they're doing is filling the balloon with more water then it can hold. Eventually that balloon will burst.

This is a deliberate move on our government. They can stop this at any minute and they're acting like they're helpless weaklings that are trying to solve a very difficult problem. They're really not doing anything.

The problem with trying to get in to USA legally is...thrs a 20 yr wait minimal...I went through this with my Husband his whole family is here n he was brought over whn young but lawyers are expensive I gave up got a Divorce he went back to Mexico which is very scary ? especially with no family or place to go live...but he had to go back ? He married a mx woman n he's back in USA as it's too poor thr...I went to Mexico twice nvr again its very poor and ? dangerous Cartel have takn ovr most areas..we're in the last days REPENT

This sad for this people don't know we're to go.. \nLove my country Philippines even on my simple life glad God is still protecting us . Hope God helps them and make a way to solve their problem on their country

We have too much going on at home to have to worry about the rest of the world's problems or them bringing their problems into our country. Now everyone can start they're angry comments

I have such mixed emotions about the immigrants I know that they should not be allowed to come in as that large of a group into our country because we have enough problems right now taking care of ourselves here in the United States I know that there's a lot of reasons why they should not be able to cross the border but at the same time I feel really sorry for them, look at them, they're crying they're starving they're hungry they have no home have nothing to go back to they have no job they have nothing and they're in the thousands .... what do we do?? what are we supposed to do, it just driving me crazy to know that many people are suffering like that but they can't come into the country too many of them... I think countries like this need mandatory birth control because if a country overpopulated self Beyond its means there's not going to be jobs then people need birth control to control their population better ❤❤❤

You're not our problem. Go home! We're full!

barely find housing and also barely find a job for our own American citizens but yet jackass in the White House won't get off his butt or do anything to fix this problem we have an invasion heading towards our border keyword invasion the American dream is gone so is the American land of opportunity s*** left the building like 10 20 years ago the dollar ain't worth a damn thing we're in the 30T's when it comes to debt we have a jackass president doesn't want to do a damn thing he has to be told what to do instead of doing his exact job. bring RFK Jr. or Trump in either one. Into office 2024 two men willing to do the job as President.

This is when you give a warning and if they do not answer to it deadly force is authorized it's an invasion does not matter who what what who you are the problem with our country is it's a weak we don't even follow our own laws and rules you put a couple of bullets in their heads they'll turn around for when 2024 comes a lot of these illegals will be shipped back they're only used right now is Pawns in a bigger chessboard you'll see what I mean

People voted for this..how is anyone not concerned about who the fuck is coming over? Yes, there are kids and families, BUT in that pool, there are also rapists, molesters, murderers, drug dealers, and many more horrific people...but we're just going to let them all in not knowing what's invited...we have these kind of problems already and now we are potentially adding more to it. People really need to stop and think about these things and not just an image of a family that wants freedom.

This crap pisses me off. I’m all for legal immigration from other countries that have corrupt governments. BUT NOT THIS! Just who in the hell do these people think they are? Every single person who tried to shove their way into our country should be PERMANENTLY BANNED from ever being allowed to enter our country. No other country on Earth would tolerate such poor behavior. They just proved that they’re NOT worthy enough to be here as well. I expect the people who desire to become part of the American dream to behave in such a manner. If they want to act like wild animals and thugs, they need to end this garbage and go right back from where they came. They’re NOT our problem. And the conditions they left behind weren’t of our making. They created that mess, so they can go back and live in it. But don’t go bringing that crap here into our country. If you want to live here in the United States, then you need to respect our ways while leaving yours behind, just like every other country on Earth expects of the people that immigrate into their countries. I’m very liberal on immigration policies. But not on this mess. That’s when I put my Conservative hat on and send the animals and thugs back from whist they came…PERMANENTLY. \n\nREMEMBER…When you go and enter another country, you’re entering as a Guest to that country. You need to act civilized. If you can’t, they’re well within their rights to throw your ass back out…by any means that they desire to employ. Because when you enter another’s country, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS OTHER THAN THOSE THAT THAT COUNTRY WISHES TO EXTEND TO YOU.

America has fought HARD for centuries to achieve freedom. We’ve shed infinite amounts of blood for the rights we have. Freedom isn’t free. It takes centuries to get to that. People think it sucks to have to spend ten years becoming a legal citizen here, well count yourself lucky that you didn’t have to shed any blood, lose any family members, fight against an oppressive enemy for your rights, or lose your house in a battle for a free country. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look up American history. Count how many battles were fought; how many wars; how many people died; how many Americans became POW’s on our own land during the Civil War. Look how hard it’s been. Look how hard it is now. We never stop fighting for what we want. Freedom takes work. America isn’t some island paradise. It never has been. We all live on the same earth. We all experience hardship. And there’s no amount of money, illegal border crossing, or anything else that can keep us from that harsh reality. In life we’re going to suffer. That’s just how it is. Stop thinking that illegally crossing a border is somehow going to solve all problems. It won’t. The grass isn’t greener on the other side just because. Bloodshed makes that grass green: Sacrifice. Hard, laborious work; and centuries of time.

This is what happens when you steal peoples lands, displace them, draw lines in their country, push them out, just because you told them this wasn’t their land, they remember, they have elders that speak of the old ways, you people kill me, you know these people stole America, and moved people against their will all around the world, yet you sit here like this land mass belongs to you. Our Creator didn’t creat these boundaries man did. Our Creator gave instruction for the lands, Ham-The Hot Lands, Japheth- The Cold Lands, Shem-The Seasonal Lands. You people are more Japheth lineage and shouldn’t be here, that’s what colonization will do, put you in a place you’re not suppose to be. It doesn’t matter, because all of you are leaving, Our Creator is going to make it so. You people are hateful vile people, who cares for no one but yourselves, and people are worth more than the houses or cars or jobs you have. You don’t get to cause famine, death, and all sorts of evils in other countries, and don’t expect them to eventually make their way to the only safe place, while you neglect to tell your citizens you told these people what you were doing in their country was to help them, and the entire time you stole their resources, kept them poor, and then you put them on TV to show how much better we have it in America, when you’re the one who caused the problem. Don’t get me talking about this rotten, way America treats everybody but YT America, facts are facts, and if you go along with this madness, that makes you just as bad as these evil vile gentiles that have a date with destiny.

They’re going to be housed in $750 a night hotels for free. US taxpayer will pay. Democrats will leave the office in such a state no Republican could handle it. Then you got fentanyl problem.

I usually feel bad for them. But if you’re gonna force your way in, I see no problem with repelling invaders.

Phil. This is why we need a massive push for reparations nationwide in the U.S.A, and Blacks of Canada who descended from Black Loyalist should be seeking reparation from British- Canada and then we need to start a mass exodus to a safe haven on the continent of Africa such Sierra Leone or Liberia where we can purchase land and collectively build our city and surrounding towns. We aren't making any progress by constantly telling each other of our experience of abuse dueto White racism. The only way we're ever going to solve this is to start planning our exodus and building our own away from them, And once we are away from them and have our act together we can then began discussing other matters in regards to maintaining our safety and security, even if that means dealings with others who have the ability to train us in how best protect ourselves from those who like creating problems all over the globe

Dear CNN,\n\nWhen you promote liberal, socialist propaganda and support a democrat “president” who decides we need open open boarders. You will receive socialistic outcomes. You’re reporting on a problem that you helped to create for the sake of “good journalism”.

This is one of the reasons Joe Biden and his administration are so disgusting. I feel as though too often are the issues that occur within the hispanic communities, or involve Hispanics, gets pushed under the rug. Ultimately neglected cause we only serve the news headline of being a migrant or Democrat voter.\nNo one cared about the 50+ immigrants that died in a truck dry van. \nNo one cares that how this will only increase and further strain an already existing housing/homelessness problem\nI truly believe the Biden administration doesn't care for Latinos/Hispanics because they'd understand the massive amount of problems they're about to allow happen to these communities.

the military down there treated like an invasion into the country and let the River Run Red they'll get the message nothing says you're not welcome here like hot lead going down rain that's how you fix that problem after that or build a dam Canal from California to Texas Gulf of Mexico 40 Mi deep 20 mi wide with one Bridge a drawbridge that goes up we can build new shipping ports brand new refinery have a coast guard and the Navy base along with the Border Patrol and their and the u.s. cargo ships don't have to go all way down to South America between saltwater crocodiles in the lemon shark that'll take care of the whole thing watching for us and the water going down to Mexico from the US can stay in the US build a new power down interrogate the Southwest and that'll take care of the water problem so how about that that fix the whole damn situation and then you can start by getting that dumbass out of the White House I see that wasn't really all that hard then second quit giving foreign aid to countries that hate us build America by America and start making America first start with families coming back together and then from there make the community and the communities make the country man united like we did back in the days of WWII because that's what it's going to take dust off the the Bible and get back to work

Doesn’t matter what the foreigners thinks of Sikhs because they don’t know who the Sikhs are, I’m more concerned about what Indians think because it seems the government of India with its hate media are brainwashing the Hindus mindsets, Hindus never had problems with Sikhs having weapons because they know the history of the Sikhs, its the media pumping negativity about Sikhs and Khalistan 24/7 are turning the two communities against eachother, wake up people and stop letting them divide the people only to use you in their political games. Same stuff happened with the congress government in the 80’s all for votes. Anyway in America It’s not about religion or culture it’s about the Ohio state laws and the second amendment in the constitution that protects people from the law to allow people to carry weapons. I understand how much Indian government minions who are reading this comment with only half a brain want to disarm Sikhs ? but that’s not even the point here. \n\nThis cop idiot because Open carry of deadly or not weapons is legal under Ohio State law. Just like open carrying a pistol is legal, open carry of any type of knife is legal as well. The entire knife doesn’t even have to be visible in order for it to be considered “unconcealed.” The school principal already apologized to this young man and the Sikh community about this stupid mistake. So Let’s put a end to your hopes and dreams of disarming Sikhs, the world is automatically changing and becoming more Sikh like mindset everyday, just as they banned most all tobacco products in America including cigarettes in all public places. Gurus told Sikhs long ago to always stay clear of tobacco for health reasons. The world is just now catching up.\n\nDo you know why the second amendment was put in the constitution of the United States? It’s a safeguard against the government if they start abusing your freedoms and rights that Americans can fight against them, every government will always try to take our rights to control us but it’s up to us as citizens to fight back everytime. This was written in the constitution by the founders of the country because they seen what government will do if they’re giving a chance.

I’ll tell you what you’re seeing it right now because you were too busy lying to the public about what was really going on in this administration you are the problem you are the cyst and it needs to be extracted goodbye

Yeah I like how they get this shit going every so many months and or every couple of years for sure you know there's always this kind of threat that here's this mass group this time going to storm the border blah blah blah blah blah...\n\nAnd it's always after a very bad week of financial fuck ups oh and bank failures it's a distraction folks those people were going to come over here whether or not it's all over your news and your favorite politicians are in their mouth about it yeah it fucking sucks I'm not saying completely tune it out but I'm saying ignore this fucking shit and focus more so on the bank problems and the other financial economic issues that we have because that's what they're trying to cover up and they're using this fucking shit is a distraction!!

Majority of Hispanics don’t understand this is a major problem. If the population is growing in the US. Inflation will rise. Housing, food, gas etc. We need to deport as many illegals as we can because legal immigrants deserve the right in America legally. Also, problem with these illegal Hispanics is they don’t even attempt to learn or study English and always raise their country’s flag rather than the American flag. I’ve seen this too much. We also have a problem with Americans here. Mostly black Americans. They’re extremely lazy, having a lot of babies, use drugs, loot, lie and break in. They are over privileged and always play the victim. This kind of problem leads to our taxes going to then as well.

They don’t realize the harm they’re doing to the ones that already here illegally and are trying to do the best to get do everything right without breaking the laws , such as paying taxes. It’s selfishness from their part for what they’re doing and it’s only harming people like me. I’m was brought here to the US when I was 2 years old I am now 20. I graduated high school , don’t have any felonies or misdemeanors. I have a degree for machine technology and I can’t work because I don’t have a work permit , and these people are coming and getting all these privileges I never got. This is causing bad to those who are already here and are trying to do everything according to the law and yet we have no support in getting atleast a work permit. I agree daca was unconstitutional which is why they’re trying to shut it down but trump was trying to make something happen for teens that were brought here at a young age. Unfortunately people are blind and selfish and only care about themselves, I get it that they live in poverty because so did we. And my beautiful mother suffered so much. But atleast wait until the US can do something about those who are already in weather it’s helping them or not. There’s so much problems happening right now in the United States such as mass shootings. Let the authorities, government officials , etc try to clean up the United States from how bad it’s getting before raiding the border and causing a burden and headache to those who are in office trying to come up with solutions to this madness.

they're invading the country why don't we have open fire on these people invading the US by the hundreds and thousands at a time not seeking Asylum but illegally crossing the border and if anybody has a problem with open fire on these people would you would you welcome them into your house if hundreds of them just pushed through your door not even asking not even knowing the laws or rules to just run through all your things no in America We Stand our ground

The problem can be summed up easily: Can the liberal party spend money on it? They will. Will it cause debt? Yes. Will they fix it? No. Will the conservatives be forced to fix it? Yes. Will people hate the conservatives for taxing them to fix the debt? Yes. Will liberals get voted back in when people are tired of being broke despite being broke under Liberals? Yes. Can the liberal party spend money on it? They will. repeat until you're happy with Justin.

As a lifelong Canadian, agree 100% with you, this place went nuts last 3 years and has many other problems as well. Canada is trading on it;s name which is long since peaked and Canada doesn;t seem to figure that people have options and will go where they're treated best.

Surely, a Christian nation like the United States would have NO problem helping fellow Christians. Matthew 25:40. Unless. you're hypocrites ?

What we are seeing global inflation. I saw it in the news that most countries are all competing for parts, products, food etc. Even nations that managed their rates better are seeing major issues. The glut of money was an issue sure, but the surging demand from nation that re-opened from covid lockdowns played a larger role. Add to this pandemic-related staffing issues, Russia-Ukraine Conflict and the intentional global oil supply problems and its a nightmare.

The problem is there is no diversification. We're still primarily a raw minerals resource based economy at the whims of markets and trends. (namely the world is switching off oil), China produces it's own Rape Seeds (Canola) and also outmanuvered us. We need to diversify and modernize. We just blown a decade and billions of dollars on oil and gas pipelines that nobody wants. \n\nWe've also failed to intergrate Indigenous government's economies and they went and did their own deals. Like Blackfoot nations dealing with Japan for food and livestock feed, and other growing Indigenous nations.

The problem is we have to close our borders and we have to start working on America but in order for that to happen we have to end this corrupt government and follow the Constitution and the bill of rights. Till that happens they're gonna continue to flood our borders.

Go back and stand in front of your Government, and tell him to take care of all of you first, and your jobs problems. Act this way demanding change, Mexican first to your Presidente Obrador. Go back ignorants. You're going to get deported when trump takes over, and you're going to be experiencing the worst of your lives if you also have children.

Why didn't they unload on them? Any other country probably would have. Where are they going to live? Our fields and forests are being razed. There's other ways to go about this. EVERYONE knows that if you need to sneak in somewhere than you're doing something wrong. America has enough problems as is. Not just with other countries but the one's that are deep inside our borders. Let's start by not hating women which can be broken into subcategories like getting paid as much as a male coworker and reproductive rights. Now their country's are aligning with all of the other countries that hate us. We need to know WHO we're letting in.

They have no respect for law in their own country and we welcome them to live civil here.i lived in Venezuela for 5yrs these are the ones that caused support for Chavez to grow over the last 2decades and now their gonna come here,let them deal with their own problems that they brought on themselves .they hate us any ways They're lawless. Send them back and bring real refugees. They're coming because they're being invited. I have inlaws in Venezuela that are still able to live and have what they need each day, their countries in far worse conditions.

Biden is a failure and worthless, this sh_t is his fault. Let whoever wants to get their guns and put an end to this problem! We can't take care of what we already have now, it's BULLSH_T because they're Let in given a home, and money for 6 months until they find what little jobs there are for AMERICANS!

does anybody remember the CIA or congressman who allowed cartels to control Central and South America well now they're controlling better and killing better people to want to live that way you made them live that way I feel nothing for Americans but disgust and contempt you can create a problem but be damned if you solve it

I live in NM and that scares me..we have so many homeless here ..if we can't fix our own problems we can't care for anyone else or allow anyone else in..esp when we're already dealing with Californians moving and causing issues with realty in states already ..shoot most New Mexicans can't even get a home right now because of the huge influx ..other states as well

These prejudices come from how the media portrays these groups of people…then the media turns around and reports on racism like they’re blameless in the whole ordeal. CBC is literally creating the problem that they’re reporting on. It’s not CBC alone but you understand what I’m saying.
