It’s only gonna get worse. Lotta US citizens boutta start crossing that border when our economy finally goes belly up.

complete bull..... they are waiting in line to cross at a border checkpoint , nothing illegal here ..

But waaaait a minute... they aren't called illegal migrants when they come thru the Southern border into the USA, but they are illegal now that they are crossing into Canada.

They should not think that because it's easy for them to cross the border of Mexico to the US, they will think that they can cross from the US to Canada. It took me 8.months before I came here and be united with my husband.

my friend has been waiting for working visa for two years how is this fair ? maybe ill tell him to cross the border might be faster

Why does cnn suddenly care about illegal border crossings

Its depressing to see people hating people for crossing borders illegally, first of all, borders shouldnt even exist, we are all humans and we ALL want a good life for us and our family, and unfortunately, depending on the place you are born you have a good life or a terrible one

Now they crossed the border then after 2 months they will fight for their rights and for Holy places. \nCanadian police should be given Machine guns

As a canadian this pisses me off. Wish america would close the gates to these illegals. Im treated like a criminal if i want to cross thr border to spend money yet these low lifes can just do as thry please. The taxpayers in north america are being screwed while the poor run rampant.

They are not refugees, they are criminals illegally crossing the border.

Lot of africans , mexicans take huge risk just to cross borders illegally , many die in this crazy journey

Illegal you can't claim asylum if you've crossed through two borders

The only way Mexicans can crossed over to Canada is because the US released them to our borders\n With friends like that,you don't need enemies. Nothing against Mexicans, hard working people.

They come to Canada because they know it will take years to process them, they get to live for free on the tax payers dime. Full medical and dental and housing as soon as they cross the border illegally. \nSadly, 10's of 1000's of immigrants that are trying to do it the legal way, have all been put to the back of the line due to the govt using all resources to process all the illegals.

Amazing how in two years Brandon and affiliates ruined everything including the border crossing and created immigration chaos and humanitarian crisis.

Please check weather immigrants before crossing any borders, safety is most important,

This is a point out of like a million points to cross from USA to Canada and vice versa. Having the longest border between two countries, the US and Canada have the longest border between any two countries. There are many areas you could literally walk across the so-called border unseen

“Just know you will be arrested if you cross!” Person keeps walking across the border “you will be arrested, let me help you with that bag mam” person looks back while in Canada.

wait they talk about how bad there home countries are but are in America now and are trying to cross Canada illegally? they are just wanting free stuff. I am Mexican and grew up in America but learned from my dad that said these people ruin traveling as a Mexican for every law abiding citizen because it makes people think he's illegal. he even got arrested by border patrol because someone called saying he was illegal but he was actually an American citizen who did everything the legal way.

Why does CNN report this as illegal when entering Canada but when they cross the southern US border its not....?

If Canada didn't want migrants crossing that border they would put up a thing called a fence ?

Close the road and direct them to a real border crossing. They’re not special and are welcome via official channels.

So I cannot go to the US on vacation and leave my money there, since I am not vaccinated, but thousands of people can simply go like this cross the Mexican border illegally? It's a smart move America!

so migrants entering the US is a big scandal and Mexico should stop them, but when migrants cross the Canadian southern border....

The illegal crossings should be stopped ,They should not let illegal migrants Enter Wonderful Canada or Beautiful USA ,The only legal way that is valid visa given by the US Embassy should be used to enter these wonderful countries , Beautiful USA n Canada should control their borders ,God bless USA my favorite destination and also epic ,iconic Canada

Honestly... that doesnt look like a border! They are letting them in. Like open border! It has to be for a purpose otherwise i cant understand how the only thing they say at the border is that you are under arrest after crossing. Dont let them in. I understand why quebec politiciens are freaking out. This is... unnaceptable! Dont tell me they are not doing it on purpose.

Blame the Worthless Biden administration for all the illegal crossing of immigrants it's time to start rounding them up and haul them back to the other side of are southern border shut the Border down with more agents and the military . But this country is run by the cowards don't care about what damage they do and are military is failing to defend are county they should be able to step on this president and Democratic administration that's what the hell they are supposed to do defend this country

They simply have to close that border crossing there. We cannot accept anymore people here. We maybe a big country but we have our own issues here like dealing with our homeless population. I live in a small community east of Toronto and Doug Ford is dumping the homeless from Toronto to here by the bus load.

Damn America is proving to be so bad for the illegals they decided to illegally cross another border to get away...???

i am by no means against immigration but it needs to be done legally. im an immigrant myself and it took me years to get thru work permit, landing and PR. yet those\nppl can just cross the border illegally and claim asylum right away skipping the queue. that aint right...

What a tough border crossing {you will be arrested hahaha please arrest us} canadian police only short of tears in their eyes.

Odd how cnn won't say illegals are crossing the United States but they'll say illegals are crossing the US Canadian border illegally ?

Trudeau built a new border crossing let’s be clear!

American’s are the biggest Hippocrates, they cry about people crossing the southern border yet send them in taxes to cross into Canada.

Hey CNN \n It is not illegal to be a refugee.\n There is nothing illegal about crossing that border.\n The term you’re looking for is “undocumented”\n If you need someone to fact check your shitty journalism you should put out an add

people crossing borders both ways?

Not everyone can just be considered an asylum seeekr bec of too much crimes in their countries. Grow up! Crimes happen evrywhere ieven in the USa. So if our attitude is just to let everyone come in for free to our country because their own governments are unable to fix their law and order problems, we are fkd as a nation. True asylum seekers were vicitms of war like vietnam war, Ukraine, Iraq, afghanistan (bec our own US govt caused all the strifes). African countries with civil wars. gang or drug crimes dont count because those are also our problems here in the US. If you work in a hospital like me, you will realize that the illegals crossing the borders (i think they have more sophisticated means now) bring their whole families including very sick ageing parents, disabled family members. And guess what, we are taking care of everyone of them more than our own citizens. I have no problem helping people but if our government shows more biases and leninency to the illegals more than the US citizens/legal residents, then I find that problematic. My heart breaks when the social worker would pressure me to discharge frail, sickly aging pts within nte 48 hour time frame bec medicare wont cover them and they are not eligible forrehab facilities as their status are observationinstead if inpatients while the non-citizens can just drop their chronically ill family members bec they cant take care if them as they are all working. They wont even claim them bec they are “busy”.\nThey can just do whatever they want as they dont have to worry about paying for hospital bills or have credit companies go after them. We are also taking care of their US born children but they are not paying taxes. Our co’untry is in the brink if bankruptcy bec of misplaced sympathy. If we really want to help these people, give them work visa so they can be legal and taxable, or better help their countries to help with drug wars, etc. We cannot sustain these kind of unconditional financial bleed for so long. Before we know it, the whole population outside the Us, have transplanted themselves here for free and without fiscal responsibilities.

Ohhh racist CNN. Good job. Hey, maybe next time you can show the Europeans crossing over the Canadian border into the US (illegally) but then again…that would change the narrative that you and the rest of these racist news outlets have curated. Trash organization.

if the US doesn't improve.. maybe ill cross a border lol.. not to canada tho.. yikes... Trudeau.

There’re Just On Vacation \nJesus All Those People Crossing Into Canada \nClose Those Borders

I am glad to see that they are not crossing the border illegally thanks to the canadian government and border police for having a big heart to help. This is really a good gesture.

I wouldn't surprize if those migrants will cross canada-arctica border in future?

This is disgusting....\n\nIf you choose to cross the border, learn the language to assimilate somewhat.

Mexicans are weird, they have visa free access to Canada yet they want to cross border to USA

There is supposedly an agreement between Canada and the US called the Safe Third Country Agreement which means illegal immigrants are supposed to apply for asylum in the first country they come to. Unfortunately, because of Trump, the Canadian government doesn't trust any US government to give these asylum seekers a fair hearing. Second, this agreement only applies to official border crossings, not unofficial ones like Roxham Road. Trudeau is absolutely right in wanting to renegotiate the Safe Third Country Agreement.

I have nothing against Immigration. I am immigrant myself, but I sacrificed a lot and gave up a lot just to migrate to Canada for the hope of a better life. And since I am poor and can't afford to migrate as entrepreneur, I have to gave up my profession and worked as a live-in caregiver for years.\nLucky for those people, to just cross the border.

the CHINESE crossing our border in the Philippines ,?

The police are really polite— all the people already crossed USA south border should go straight to Canada! Once again, police are very very polite.

Is it just me or did those border crossings look smoother than coming back after a day of shopping in Buffalo??Well except for the whole being arrested part.

Confused. Illegals from the southern border somehow illegally enter Canada and then illegally cross the border into the U.S. ? Why not stay in Canada ?
