Yeah I'm sorry to tell you this is not going to change anything. Anything that's being said is not going to change. They're here and they're going to keep coming until the government changes. Nothing's going to change because us Canadians for some reason can't step up rise up cuz this s***'s just ridiculous. My goddamn daughter can't even get a job and she's 16 trying to get her first job and can't even get it at Tim Hortons. How sick that is

I'm an immigrant. Do you guys know how much I paid for my wife's college? 40k dollars. Do you guys know how much Imy wife and I pay in taxes? Almost 3k a month to the government. The problem isn't immigrants. If there were no immigrants, who would pay for citizens' college? Or are you guys going to start paying 40k or the full amount?

This country not the same country 23 years ago is highly professional immigration officials and better policy WCB-bc \nI’m talking about as much as my experience and what I been go trough lately and 23 years age \nThe government officials and offices are all corrupt now days \nThey just robbing us the immigrants as modern day slavery \nPromising one thing but not serving the way they should

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

Wow never know about this. Absolutely crazy this is allowed to go on. So many of us including me are living on the edge barely scraping by, and now we’re being flooded by new people who will take all the cheaper housing. Not there is any cheap housing. And sleeping in your vehicle is now being banned all over because of all the unhoused, which really puts a damper on traveling in an RV or van. My friends think this was all a grand scheme, and I’m not sure that they are wrong.

Most people realize this has nothing to do with a persons race. Its population size. When you increase population size drastically it effects infrasture when government dont invest x amount of dollars into system. You have to plan. Look at our housing market. SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUES. When you increase population size and there's not enough homes to house people that only increases the costs. Whats going on is suicide to alot of people. Also media does not want to report why Liberal government has 4x increased immigration in a yr span compared to 1x. Also why is there racial preference for India? The amount of immigration coming in from India is much higher then other races. I'm curious about that.

Cnn, I'm shocked you posted the truth. Now, how bout you stop bashing Trump. Do you think the VP elect is going to.stop this. They're trying to invade. This is Not asylum.

IF YOU VOTING DEMOCRATS IT WILL NEVER STOP THEY GOING TO LET COME AND EVERY FOUR YEARS IT'S GOING TO BE WORST WHY ELECTION IS EVERY 4 YEARS WAKE UP AMERICANS, I'M SO SICK OF I WORK 20 HOURS A DAY 6 DAYS A WEEK YES I HAVE TWO JOBS AND STILL STUGGLINE AS YOU ALL KNOW IM NY RENT IS CRAZY SOBI HAVE BUST MY ASS TO PAY MY BILLS AND THESE ILLEGALS GET MY HARD EARN TAX DOLLARS WTF THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF I'M VOTING RED ALL THE WAY GOVERNOR KATHY AND THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GOT TO GO .THEY NOT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEY LIKE WRONG THINGS AND THEY HATE THIS COUNTRY,

I'm an immigrant to Canada. I've been here for 35 years (came here when I was 6). The current immigration/migration/ayslum seeker rates have gone completely insane. It isn't racist to think it's gone overboard. I went to very very multicultural schools. I grew up in Toronto and have lived downtown for 20 years now. I love our multiculturalism but there are limits to immigration if there simply isn't an infrastructure to support countless hundreds of thousands of people trying to move into the city each year. It's not sustainable at all. The roads aren't getting bigger, the housing zoning isn't getting easier, new hospitals aren't being built. You cannot try and cram 4 million people in a city built for like 2 million people. People moving to Canada simply do not realize just how absurdly expensive this place has become. What's the better alternative being poor in India or being poor in Canada? Because unless you are making 100k a year you are going to basically be poor in Toronto.\n\nThe big big difference as someone who has lived downtown Toronto for 20 years is now the homeless are very multicultural. 10 years ago it wasn't like that as much. Now people from every race and every background are at risk of homelessness. It's a rate race, it's a very competitive city for housing and jobs and as soon as you aren't in making $$$$$ you will fall behind.

I'm American. Europe is tired of African and Muslim migrants. There is a backlash against them in Europe. The USA is getting their as well in Americans wanting the borders shut. Fighting for your own nation is best. Bangladesh students just ran out their leader through protest. Millions of poor people going to Western nations isnt feasible long-term. Fighting for your homeland is.

Why don't the president of Mexico stop this??? I'll tell you why, or what Mexicans man told me. He said, Biden ask him to stop these people from coming to Mexico then coming here. He said he could, but would not until Americans agreed to give each Latin country in the world 2 million dollars every year or every year. He said if not he was going to let them flood America until they take it. He goes back and forth from Mexico to America. I don't know how true this, but this is what he told me. I'm so sick of looking at these people until I don't know what to do. God help us.

I was fortunate to relocate to the Canada a few years ago. Witnessing the social issues exacerbated by ineffective immigration policies, I can understand why Canadians might feel frustrated. I'm always eager to engage with the community, but I found that many Canadians are reluctant to discuss politics or care about what is going on in their neighborhoods, and the voting rate in city elections are very low. A few months ago, I shared a city government survey designed to collect residents' opinions about the next 5-year development plan with some friends, but only one out of five showed interest in participating.\nI hope that more Canadians will take advantage of their democratic system to drive change and shape her into the country they want to live in. Back in my home country, we couldn’t vote for our government, so having democracy is a privilege—please use it wisely while you can!\nNote: I am grateful that the Canadians I’ve met have been very welcoming.

It's about time! I'm an immigrant who never collected unemployment, welfare etc. I worked as an RN by working and going to school. The riff raffs around makes me so angry. Look at housing, crime, healthcare ...Trudeau has brought shame and disgust to once beautiful Canada. Now its so broken. It's a shame.

This piece was significantly flawed:\nIt didn't address the numbers.\nCanada builds enough housing for about 400k people per year.\nEven if we built as fast as our fastest OECD peer, South Korea, we would build enough for 800k people a year.\nWe added 1.5M people in the last year alone; that's 700,000 people potentially going homeless.

I never lock my home door unless I'm going to work or sleeping. When I run out to do chores its always unlocked.

I’m an immigrant from Europe, who’s been in Toronto for a decade and all I can say is that if this is going to continue to happen, I’ll be the first out of the country in the next couple of years as it’s unsustainable to continue bringing more people from others countries and specially from non western countries as it seems difficult for some to adopt Canadian values. Canada is going down the hill at an unprecedented pace.

If immigrants aren’t wanted then ask who would pay so much for old and rental housing \nThat market would collapse , all the talented professionals will go elsewhere to where they are wanted \nFast forward and let’s see what exodus does to the economy \nI’m curious if anybody even thought this through

Your going to have a massive Pushback in time by people. It seemed like all over the Western world. The government is trying to pull you massive amounts of migrants on the population against their will. I'm married to a Person from a different Country.

Can’t wait till we are just like South America going to be fun. All the crime, cleanliness law and order. Thank you to all the people who voted this way it’s going to be so much fun. Can people vote instead of not liking a person can you look at what they are trying to do. I would think closed borders would be #1 with anyone with a brain? Or just because you hate the way someone talks let’s destroy the country instead sounds like a plan sign me up can’t wait to be dodging these bullets soon. I think the only way to ever solve this is there are so many states. Can we just have some states for Republicans some states for Democrats you live the way you wanna live we live the way we want to live point blank. The problem is trying to blend things that are not meant to blend. I want Lauren order. I want people who follow the law. I don’t want a lot of music. I don’t want trash on the streets. I’m 50 now when I was 20 I may have thought differently. I worked hard. I moved out of the Bronx to a nice neighborhood and it’s still nice but our corner of nice in New York is getting smaller and smaller. And I laughed when these people, even in these nice towns who vote not realizing the consequences.

We don’t need them here. I’m sorry. But they need to come the correct and legal way. They must be all vetted and cleared to enter our country. I don’t understand why this is so hard to grasp. No! I refuse to continue to allow my tax dollars to go to this

Deportation send them back...what do you mean can't send them back? ,what the hell is going on with this country can't protect their borders and stop emigrants come to this country and live like is ok is no consequences, I'm so upset with this shit.

Hello, appreciate the good works you’re doing. Please I have a question kind of in a twist. I’m about applying to canada but should I go the agent way or do it yourself? Which do you think is better? Thanks a lot!

Immigration has become infestation in both the US and Canada. Our ?? Prime Minister is instrumental in causing the problem on our side of the border. I apologize to all my American family and friends. Since Justin Castro took office in 2015 we’ve gone from 36 million to 41 million in population. Our system can’t handle that amount, so off they go to the US. I’m convinced Justin in his narcissistic mind dream’s about someday ruling India.

Can’t wait to leave Massachusetts (the bluest state) for a red state in the south (in the mountains) / the whole country is being affected and we can’t hide forever - but I’m going to try to live healthy and free as long as I can before every place in North America and Europe are ruined (and then where will the endless waves of people flee to when everything is “no more unique culture no more high trust hygienic society nor affordable to live except for the 1%)????

I’m all for them moving to another Muslim country in the region if religious difference are going to continue to be a contributing factor that’s my take on it why leave them there stop the war only for it to start again in 10 to 15 years if not sooner ?

And what do they have to contribute nothing they can’t even speak fluent English the have no skills no education nothing all they have is I’m going to New York that’s all they know it’s really sad

When are we going to start defending ourselves and our country instead of spreading its cheeks for everybody... just give us a purge state already and let's go. Survival of the fittest on home turf. I'm so done with this ish

how are they getting across the border?? you need a passport to get from Canada to USA?? or is that just for Canadians...I'm a homeless Canadian and the shelters are stuffed here can I go to NYC too???

This is how liberals want it. \n\nShelter = human right\nHealthcare = human right\nFood = human right\n\nIf these are human rights you should get them for free. Why would you work if they give you this and money on top of it? I'm going to cross illegally.

I'M EXTREMELY HURT YET SUPER ANGRY BECAUSE I'M WAITING FOR MY HUSBAND'S VISA AND IT WILL BE 3 YRS THIS SEPTEMBER 8TH, SINCE MY HUSBAND'S VISA INTERVIEW WAS ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2021. WE'RE MARRIED OVER 6 YRS ALREADY. I HAVE TO PROVE THAT I CAN SUPPORT MY HUSBAND, SHOW MY TAXES, GO ABOVE THE FINANCIAL LIMIT, PAY MEDICAL EXAM, POLICE RECORDS, ALL THE LEGAL WAY. THEN IN THE OTHER HAND, I; AS A TAX PAYER, I'M PAYING FOR THESE ILLEGALS FOOD, SHELTER, MEDICAL, ETC. \nBEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN I FEEL LESS THAN A ROACH AND FEEL ABANDONED WITH MY RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED. SO MUCH INJUSTICE TO THE LEGALS VS. THE ILLEGALS. ??????????????????

I wonder how many third world illegal aliens can be stuffed into New York City? It’s turning into some kind of human lab experiment! NYC is going to get disgusting, crime ridden, and quickly become its own third world in the next couple years. I’m glad I don’t live in NYC!

WTH is going on in this country!! I want my old country back...just glad I'm old!

Where are these people going to live? I’m afraid the day will come when criminal migrants will just enter neighborhoods and violently evict Americans from their homes and move right in. Will the police do anything? Will Soros District Attorneys prosecute these people? Will banks still demand that evicted homeowners pay their mortgage? It’s coming, unless we crack down immediately

I'm in favour of them going south but not just dropping into Canada

Wait people with no papers can get into Canada but I can’t go to Canada without a passport because I’m an American citizen whaaat

As a Filipino watching the economy of USA from afar, I think that no other politician has shown significant concern to help its economy except for Trump. He's pretty bold and not scared to voice out issues that make the democrats uncomfortable. It is not for me to decide who others will vote. However, I see a leader in Trump and he's not afraid to fight back. It's only a matter of time for the Chinese to create its own microchips that are of novelty and prestige. Their economy is of course stagnant as of the moment because many foreign companies pulled out from China. Nevertheless, do you think it's going to be forever? They will cope and soon establish theirs given their population and government financial backing. Trump was right to put trade war against them to regulate foreign trade as it did with Japan. All countries will suffer when the dollar loses the international prestige. It is fastly losing it's international reputation as of these days. If this won't halt, imagine a future where the Chinese RMB will be the basis of international trade. You don't know the real plan of the Silk Road guys. Americans are conquerors and we have adjusted with their ways already. And, the Chinese are conquerors as well. Their goal is to really surpass the USA. The rise of China has benefited every ASEAN member, but greatly the former than the latter. We can adjust with their ways. However, America and Europe may not be that ready to adjust their ways for them should they surpass USA. The USA has become complacent and too liberal where individual rights, although important, have gone too far-fetched. This has created entitled individuals who think they own the world. Now, look at the Chinese. While most young Americans are busy dancing in TikTok and the likes of wasting time for entertainment, most young Chinese are studying hard and upskilling. Let's remember that America became great because of its inventions and extremely the nuclear power. Without great minds, minds that are feebled by drugs and misguided philosophies, a society will crumble. USA can use its weapons and influences against other countries, but can it hold the progress of it's rival economy for the rest of the years? You guys need a leader who is competitive and won't back down from a fight. As of these days, given only two political candidates to choose for presidency, I dare say that Trump has a higher bidding for the goodness of USA. Of course he wasn't able to accomplish his plan before after you guys impeached him. How the hell can a leader complete its plan after being halted unprecedentedly amid his administration? Kamala Harris looks promising but not convincing. Aura, although unquantifiable, do speak something. Choose your leader and it will choose your fate. Let's hear what the two sides will share this upcoming debate. If I'm American, whoever wins that debate, wins my heart. As easy as that. You see, if someone can be defeated so easily in his or her country through debate, do you think that whoever that someone who wins will be able to compete globally? Think of the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping. Think of a leader who can communicate with them effectively. That's all for me. Thank you

I’m so sick of these illegals coming to my country. This has got to worry those that have been here for a long time, because we are going to end up turning on them as well.

I’m okay with them going to NYC but please stay there.

Quit thinking of the US as my country a decade ago. I'm Southern Appalachistani now. We're going to have the dumbest societal end ever cus it'd be too mean to be a serious nation. \n\nHopefully we'll balkanize before too much longer.

United States citizens cannot find housing and they allowed us to keep going on and on cuz why why you look stupid Kamala I have not heard horse face lately but it made me laugh even though I can't stand Trump what did she ever do for me I'm going to be homeless

So what I need to do is identify as an ILLEGAL, go to Canada easily cross the border into New York and get a free vacation. Never mind I look completely European, as long as I say I'm Mexican that's ok, right?

I'm tired of this crap, seal up the borders and let absolutely no one in. That's the only way we're going to solve this problem. This is our country. This country does not belong to illegal criminals

This bleeding heart guy still doesn't get it: The VAST MAJORITY of these INVADERS are MILITARY AGED MEN!!! They're not going to NY to work, they're going there to rape, pillage, and plunder, since crime isn't punished there, thanks to progressive DAs and politicians. I'm NYC born and raised, and every day I thank the Lord I'm out of there. \n\nYou see what's going on in Britain? Soon NYC will be burning, and mark my words - there's going to be a bloodbath! Will Cash make a video about that?

better the devil you know (knew) .....smh, cant believe i'm going to say this, i'll word it like this, out of both these two, Rishi was the 'less worse one'

I'm going to vacation in Venezuela. Now that all its criminals are in NYC.

I seen a video on TikTok going viral talking about a migrant lady had $13,000 on her EBT card and like a $5000 cash balance like this is so unbelievable. I hope that it wasn’t true like I’m American. I’m actually from this country like how the hell did these people get this amount of money when you get us Americans are struggling month-to-month. This is not fucking fair at all.

I tried going to Canada and I couldn’t cross cause I had two misdemeanors did I mention I’m a veteran of the army not to say I’m not taken care of… just straight up pow? to America

Mark my words, this video and the many others like it documenting our now long ongoing border crisis will be the first images that will run through our minds the minute that the terrorists among these illegals strategically take down the whole country section by section all in a planned blink. Our grid and networks will go down all at once and we will not know that a wide scale attack across the entire country has just been activated. At first we will all be thinking a tragic accidental explosion has happened, followed by the inability to use our phones whatsoever, and then over hours of time we will finally get word from those on the roads have just escaped huge groups of foreign terrorists. And then, it's on, survival of the fittest.\n\nDems.Thanks for voting that very possible clear and present danger into office to usher in countless undocumented people. Every sane person is crying out for deportation, but I'm sorry to say this but have you kept up with the estimated number of illegals coming over our borders???? We passed the official point of no return a long time ago thanks to Biden, the man who will go down in history as the man to bring down America.

Context:\n\nAround a year or two ago driving back home with some friends after visiting Niagara Falls, we were pulled over because my car’s headlights were off. I didn’t stop immediately when they turned their police lights on because I didn’t think I did anything wrong but did eventually pull over after realizing they were indeed trying to pull me over. \n\nAfter I pulled over, two officers quickly got out and one of them rushed to my passenger side mirror and very aggressively yelled at me, “why didn’t you pull over” etc. I was very surprised by his reaction and quickly explained that I was a fairly new driver (about 6 months of driving experience at the time). He went away for a few seconds to cool off and later apologized for his behavior (very respectable).\n\nMain Focus:\n\nNow, the interesting part is while the officer was cooling off, the other officer wanted not just my ID but everyone else’s’ in my car as well. I still to this day do not think that is normal, however, I haven’t been pulled over enough to confirm that. Anyways, some of my friends didn’t have officials IDs on them but they did have their student ID. The police wanted that as well. They took a long time to what I assume, conduct a very thorough check on everyone’s ID, making sure nothing is suspicious and everyone is from America. The whole encounter had to be around 20 to 30 minutes long, it was very very long. \n\nTakeaway:\n\nFrom what I experienced that day, I strongly believe that people were at least crossing the northern border around 1 year ago and most likely even earlier. There are bus services that go straight to NYC from Buffalo which is right across the border from Canada to the US. However, I’m not sure if you need ID to use those services. \n\nFor those who read this comment, use this information however you will, I hope it helps even just a little in making some sort of change. \n\nHopefully, there won’t be an increase on how long it takes me to get past border patrol to Canada and back ?. I also hope that our taxes decrease because too much of it are being payed for services to aliens when some of our locals are still stuck in the streets.

I’m in Canada for 2 years now and I’m returning back home . \n\nI will not tell anyone not to come, diaspora can transform your mindset for good. I dint struggle getting a job. I did a customer service job and an admin assistant job. \n\nHowever, this system is a dangerous. It’s a system whose work is to put you in debt, through the famous credit score. If you put yourself in this system, kurudi home itakuwa ngumu. You are also just one paycheck away from being homeless. \n\nCost of living is overly high. You work for bills. Some people get subsidized housing, but those housing are not the best places you would want to live. Mostly in poor neighborhoods and neglected. \n\nI came here and took myself back to school. One of the programs I did was an eye opener Leaderahip program. It gave me a glimpse of who I am and what potential I carry. And boom, I realized this is not my place. My life is not just about working and paying bills, it’s more. And this more can only grow home. Otherwise I will keep working with slow growth in employment, and come back home when I can’t live my full potential \n\n\nIf you have to, leave, come to Canada. Exposure is worthwhile. Make sure you take a technical course, avoid debts. Go back home and grow with your country. \n\nKenya is our Canaan.
