Toronto is a beautiful city but if you don't make a lot of money you can either live in studio apartments and hardly buy food to eat or end up homeless. Toronto is much more expensive than most american cities, it might be as expensive as New York City or a bit more. Canada is a truly gorgeous country but it is too expensive. The US is getting so expensive even in Texas,you feel like moving to another country too,in my case my country Panama. Makes you think when will the inflation stop and be controlled in Canada and in the US. We don't want all poor and middle class people to have no money and be left with nothing and end up homeless. Right now it is not a good idea to move to the U.S. or to Canada, just to visit for some months but living in those countries is crippling people's lives.?

They're breaking the law coming in our country the wrong way u.s. citizen needs help you're using up all our resources Annie broke the law to get here this world is so crazy I give up on United snakes of America I can't wait till China Russia North Korea give us a wake-up call we need it I don't need no replies look at our politicians all they do is talk about each other I don't get s*** done I can't wait till Trump stop all this border shit where to buy American and the people who came here the Rite-Way

Such a slap in the face to homeless people who were born, worked in, and lived in America all their life. Where is their “free ticket” to housing and resources? America makes it hard for their own; especially Blacks, to survive. Always some kind of impossible agreement they want you to agree with to obtain help. As a Black American, homeless and disabled; worked low wage jobs here in America over 30 years; was blocked from receiving my full lump sum disability because they knew it would have been enough to buy myself a home; Have been homeless over a year now and can’t agree to America’s rules for fair housing because their rules aren’t fair for Black Americans altogether. America have set Blacks against Blacks; put them in positions to turn other Blacks away from houses and resources; but all they care about is their job. They know their job requires the impossible for many Blacks to agree to, but they easily and intentionally overlook it. How can I agree to volunteer or work if I’m disabled? I applied for disability because I can no longer work. And…It took forever for me to get that. My long, steady work history will prove that I’m not lazy which is used as their excuse for not helping Blacks. America will bend over backwards to help foreigners while we sleep on the streets. That’s the reason why they went out on a limb to employ people from different countries. They called it diversity when they clearly knew it was racism. They had rather employed foreigners to keep Blacks from progressing. America is reaping its seeds right now. Say good bye to America because it’s about to become a new foreign country to all Americans. You reap the seeds you sow. You must be fair to your own first, but you disclaim your own. ❤ And by the way;…..Reparations to Black Americans may be a good start in the eyesight of God who have watched how you treated us for so very long. Nobody in America should be homeless regardless. When God says enough; wickedness and injustices must stop. Not tomorrow but right now! In the name of Jesus; Blacks shall receive reparations so they may live safe and peaceful lives in measures of ours and our ancestors works. Father I pray a special blessing for these people that’s crossing over. Only you know their situation as you know ours. All we want to do is to live in peace on Earth as you intended for all. Amen. ❤

If the USA stopped impoverishing the rest of the American Continent, stealing natural resources and buying presidents, no one would come here.

It’s ridiculous how they now feel so entitled to enter our country illegally while Americans are struggling to buy food, get housing. This has to stop. We need the National Guard out there to protect us from this invasion.

Don't let them in. They can do jobs better than Americans and cheaper. Americans think they have entitlement and are lazy. That's why U.S. lost manufacturing jobs to China and Mexico. American CEOs fed up of American worker entitlement mindset. HISPANIC people stop buying American goods with your hard earned money. See how they treat Spanish people from South America.

All because Americans wont stop buying drugs from the gangs. See what your drug use does to everyone??? Guess where the gangs get their guns too cuz they cant buy them in Mexico...hmmm.

YOU GO TO THOSES COUNTRYS AND THE PEOPLE FROM USA CANT BUY LAND THEY COME HERE AND THEY GET EBT SNAP MEDICAL HOUSEING AND SOCIAL SECURITY I WAS SHOCKED TO WITNESS THAT AMERICANS THEY ARE STEALING FROM US SEND THEM ALL BACK PERIOD. ARE MIDDLE SCHOOLS HIGH SCHOOL ARE OVER Crowded WITH ALL THEM IMMIGRANTS AND THEY COME HERE AND HAVE ALL THOSE BABIES BORN HERE ITS INSANE STOP STOP GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY ?????????????????????????????????????????

Powell's Bookstore in Portland, Oregon used to follow my husband who is Native American around but not me if I was alone. I eventually got pissed and turned around and called them out on it and they stopped following him if I was with him but continued following him if he was alone. We finally gave up on them being decent and started buying our books on Amazon even though we prefer to spend at independently owned stores.

I'd just read many of the comments on here and wtf are you people smokin'? Whatever it is, you got some bad stash. Time to face reality. We are all human. We all have religions or spirituality. We may be different, but we are still intrinsically cut from the same block. So cut the paranoid crapola. Live together in peace as God instructed ALL of you to do. Don't buy into Government propagated paranoia over any one set of people. Here in America, it was anti native American, then anti black, then Anti Irish, now that those two groups are accepted it's anti-muslim. Meanwhile the native Americans are still Native Americans, the black people are still black and the Irish are still Irish and nothing has changed but public attitude. Don't let the media tell you what to think. Don't be afraid of what you don't understand. Educate yourself on what is real. What is Islam. Who are Arabs. And for God's sake stop being SHEEPLE!
