I feel bad for the American people, I have friends there and they have a hard enough time as it is. This just makes me sad. I also have friends who have died due to fentanyl, fix our border on both sides, damnit. And catch these assholes who are killing both our countries citizens.

The leftist propaganda and ignorance in these comments tell you who makes up the CNN audience. A sad, pathetic comment on what has become of humanity. We are so done on this Earth.

It seems sad that it took an action such as the one the US government had to do, to make Canada realize that we should work together as provinces and as people. Canada knew very well that our big brother in the south has been fiscally hurting since years and had been racking up enormous government, corporate and private citizen debt. If this were to continue it would pull down every single country in the world. Perhaps if the US is becoming fiscally responsible, truly eliminate fraudulent and unnecessary spending and refocus on their local economy (just like China has been doing in the last years) the rest of the world and even Canada can finally focus on their strength and local markets. After all, don't we all miss our local stores, local artisans, vibrant neighborhoods with diverse businesses and a pride in having made in our own country? May I say that this Trump era will give the whole planet a new perspective for changing our ways, reliance on others and taking the easy and greedy road!

As an American, this makes me so sad! Canada is our best friend

This is so sad. Stupid Orange ? guy making a mess. I am so embarrassed

Just understand Americans you voted in a celebrity as your president you all knew he had no background for the job you all have souled your souls you have strayed away from God you all want the easy way out the shortcuts you all thought that voting him in would make everything easier would cut cost on everything but you we're wrong because God himself will not let you eacape your sins no matter how far you try to run no matter who you think you can bring in to get shortcuts God will not allow and its sad because trump wont hurt for this or pay for it no but the hard working Americans the ones who make this country Go not trump or any of his friends and all of those who believe in him and his agenda who will not be in heaven Amen

We are SO SORRY, Canada! \nThere are MILLIONS of American’s who feel the same… “Make it make sense?!” Thank you Canada for years of wonderful relations. This is what the people want to continue. Thank you PM Trudeau, for speaking the truth and speaking directly to us and our current, unfortunate leadership with facts and decorum. We applaud you standing your ground. Stay strong against our bullying government. It’s a sad, sad time. ❤️‍?

this comment section makes me so sad it’s such an example of a lack of empathy with have in america do you think all these people would be doing this running in a fucking mob with their children if they weren’t absolutely desperate. don’t you think they’re probably well aware that they won’t be able to actually beat armed militia and were doing this in protest??? can’t we critically think what drives people to do the things they do and then structural address them!!! hate will never create prosperity for all!!!

It’s so sad. Majority of them are hard working people looking to make a future for them selves and family. ITS GOT TO BE EASIER WAY TO LET THEM IN LEGALLY.

Another top knotch video! It’s a little sad a person can make a video about common sense issues,policies and law that leads to a conversation. One would think the greatest country on planet earth wouldn’t suffer from all the problems, headaches and mass migration has brought.

THIS is why Trump is imposing tariffs on Canada. They don’t do ? about illegals crossing from their country to the US . Canada needs to be taught a lesson. NYC needs to have ALL GOVERNMENT funding cut. Make NYC SUFFER BIG . NYC politicians are not just corrupt but they’re evil. You ppl have no idea just how evil and corrupt they are. Democrats/liberals have completely ruined the world, it’s infected their evil everywhere. I wish more ppl would open their eyes to the truth. But they’ve allowed themselves to be brainwashed by liberals lies. It’s sad. Very very sad.

It’s all about getting illegals in to keep em in power. They know Americans r turning against their progressive failed and fraudulent policies. Been trying to get em the ability to vote and b counted as residents since it started. Seeing there slush funds r drying up recently it’s making them desperate to retain power. It’s sad that they hate one man so much and r so desperate for power and money that they’d rather crush their citizens than take care of them. They love spending ur money but not their own. Funny how progressives hate capitalism until they break out their own money. Voting has consequences. Just hate it for the people who stood up and fought back just for dirty politicians to do the voodoo that they do so well. I’d say show up to protest peacefully and make ur voices heard. They only have power because we gave it. Could u imagine if the majority of New York showed up to their doorsteps daily to demand change how beautiful that’d b. Americans standing by Americans demanding that there government take care of Americans. Just my thoughts anyway. ?????

Yes this is good, but all the fake news MSNBC CNN ABC CBS the list goes on are now making it look like Trump is so cruel. The people sent to Panama MSNBC making it sound horrible. It doesn't matter how much good is done these indoctrinated pea brains will never get it. Its sad but true. Brain washed and lost except the criminals in our government. Makes me sick. But hey TRUMP IS BACK MAGA ??????✝️????✝️

Sadly it dont matter where each country seems to hacmve it Im in Canada Im a mix of cultures I get it from both sides they make me feel like I dont belong on earth I dont fit any where it hurts so much more then words could ever say in my heart we are all the same beings here just different cultures to learn from so much to learn im Irish , Scottish, Duch , Mohawk 60 years old still I dont fit anywhere ?

The logic here is the more people are here the more they are taxed for the government to earn money as long as they are employed. Either way it is the people (taxed) money. Remember, government doesn’t make money. We are taxed to give them the money sadly, that’s how the previous president viewed it.

These people are desperate, can you imagine things being so bad in your own country that you travel thousands of miles to try to get into another one that promises a better life? It truly is sad for those who have empathy. Perhaps the United States should tackle the immigration problem by trying to make things better in other countries so those folks don't feel in need to cross over into America. Instead of stopping us aid helping other countries, and waging and supporting wars in other countries, the USA could take a different approach and actually help the world become a better place. It's crazy I know, but it just might help.

It is sad that these guys are desperate for a better life but the better longterm solution is to make things better in one's own country.

This makes me sad because most of these people escaped their country because of the crime is so bad they come here to make a better life and you're going to send them back

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

It's a sad situation but there are laws that illegal immigrants need to obey. What doesn't make sense to me is that everyone is blaming Trump for this move but not the previous administration for allowing illegals to come in at will. It's crazy. If that would've been handled correctly from the beginning we wouldn't be here

Make America Pay More Again! As disruptive and asinine as Trump's economic schemes may be, it's sadly necessary that AMERICANS (we are often a very self-centered and blissfully uninformed people) feel the consequences of their vote as soon as possible. Americans MUST feel the pain to grasp the gravity of what a tit-for-tat tariff tiff between the US and Lord-knows-what-nation-Donald-will-go-after-next won't likely end well for us. It is what it is, and Trump is what he is. The whole world has no choice but to let all this nonsense unfold.

How sad that people think they can treat others like this when they are in a slight position of power above others… Makes me want to puke… ?

As an American it feels a bit extreme, but all Canada has to do is attempt to fix their border, but your leaders would rather choose war. OK. 75% of Canadian exports go to the US while you only take 12% of ours exports. This will be a bloodbath. If Canada was a state in the USA, it would be the 4th largest economy. I have family that is from Canada, this makes me sad.

That's a big sign of total untrust to their own governments who can make their life's improved ..really sad ???

I lost my best friend. Not the only one. Sad AF. Whoever is spreading the lies that trans people are raping and attacking people, is just outright evil. And ya frankly, peoples business is their business. If doesn’t affect you, if you don’t have firsthand experience being raped and attacked, stop having an opinion. You are not ENTITLED to ignorant opinions. You, and everyone else, are entitled to human rights. Stop inciting violence on each other every time trump makes shit up to trickyou in to taking your money.

Why do they keep trying to make trump out to be a bad guy and they keep lying about bidens statistics on deporting...they really are trying to make a narrative that anything bad is on trump...like they keep bringing up why haven't prices gone down and he's been in office all of a week ? it's gonna at least take a couple months to fix what was done. This false reporting is why people are mislead. This is sad

great! \nlots of fruit, spices, coffees, chocolate, some metals, lime and other cement components, on and on and on are all about to have prices skyrocket. hope ya'll didn't want to buy any lumber, that's gonna suffer soon too\nso trump just wants to punish the american people because the columbian president refused to bend knee to his absurd display. this makes sense... *big sad sigh*

Good, stop making it sound sad cause canada does NOT want indians in Canada u guys are dropping out living standards to dirty streets to getting people sick by working in fast foods to even taking jobs from future kids

It makes me sad that these folks are this desperate. Especially the women and children. I don't know the answer - I know I don't want criminals coming over, but these folks are incredibly desperate. ? If they make it here, they will learn that our country is just as phucked up as their country - and getting worse, actually.

We as Indians, for sure deserve better. This has become sad and ridiculous now. Perhaps something the prime minister should personally look into if the Indian foreign offices are unable to push their weight on this matter. How dare these countries make us Indians feel like we are imprisoned in our own country while they will get a royal treatment here

The Democrat causes all the mess they did. Sadly, Donald Trump has to clean up the mess of the Democrats. Now they're making Trump look like a bad guy. It's good for us because we have to support them with our tax money.

You can tell this channel woukd vote kamala. Making this look sad and bad on trump.

Us government should collaborate with the Mexican government and bring about a solution to make life better not bitter this would benefit both parties... I think Trump should be more harsh as well as soft hearted dealing with this situation... But the Mexican government is to be held responsible ????it's sad to watch families suffering.... Don't enter my home

“Bloody Indian” is a very common slang in Australia. I am proud to be Indian but that makes me feel sad?

????? there is always one to make india feel sad but without India talent ?????????

the root cause is illegal immigration and the root cause of illegal immigration is inflation, either people needs to be paid more on par with western countries or the cost of living must reduce to the point, people think working in India is far better to make money. \n5th economy you say but sadly it doesnt translate to the 90% people of this country, At this point even if India is world number economy still 90% of the will struggle to meet their ends. So when the per capita income increase the passport power will also increase. There solution to the problem.

How about a few more major reasons why Indian Visas are being rejected by most of the countries. It's not anti immigrant it is anti -indian sentiment because of our uncivilized behavior, breaching visa conditions and seeking asylum all over the world. It's not western world that needs our talent, in fact India needs the west to export our talent because we can't afford our population. Sadly, government officials are helping the human traffickers to create forged documents and police cases so that they can make a valid excuse. Indians are being hated everywhere because of India.

Poor guy this makes me sad ? damn Canadian mean man

It's sad that tenants abuse landlords us good people who pay on time are not trusted any more who pay each and every month or before the month is there some times people pay more on there rent that is required but they want to be ahead .the bad people make us good people look very bad . There is very good people still out there so we shouldn't look bad because of the rotten apples who don't want to pay and abuse landlords

The system is BROKEN. Tenants like this one are abusing the backlogs, landlords like this one want pitty when they are clearly MAKING INCOME on these rentals but are NOT paying taxes on those earnings yet, everyone else has to pay taxes on what little they earn. PLUS, there are landlords such as mine that has decided to take away my basement after renting the WHOLE house so he can build another unit so he can make more money but all he's offered is to keep my rent at the same price, no increase. I have to put up with losing space, parking, dealing with deathly noise for who knows how long just so he can make more money????? He should have made a clear contract around this plan he had to add another unit when he rented it to me. Sadly, landlords have become very greedy, I don't know where they get so much money to buy multiple homes but most families in Canada today can't afford the outrageous downpayments being asked to own a home!!!! I don't necessarily feel sorry for landlords. NOW pay taxes on your income from these homes and you have more of a right to complain I say.

It’s not just Indians ,Africans and Caribbean people as well , so pls don’t feel bad, and don’t forget that the crime rate has risen over some time also ,It’s sad for the people. But government make these changes at time

It's sad for both of them. \nShe should pay rent, and rent fees should not be outrageous. Greed in the world makes everyone suffer.

Pretty sad Trump had to make threats to get this governments attention. This should have happened years ago, both countries have to crying for it.

All it took was a foreign politician to make Canadians safe; how sad. Justin MUST GO ASAP

you said that you came from ukraine to canada thats interesting...i am 40 and was born in canada and thinking of moving from canada to ukraine for obvious reasons from also toronto...and it makes me sad too..i feel you girl..

Congratulations for all the hard work and research you 've done to compile so many data and provide a comprehensive explanation of the current situation. I'm an immigrant looking to get my PR, I have qualifications from one of the top universities in the world, experience as an international consultant and most important I do respect the Canadian culture and follow the rules. However, even for me it is uncertain what is going to happen? and/or if the government will make more changes and kick us out hahaha. I do believe that immigration has poured a lot of money into Canadian's pockets and most of them are not considering that, some of that money is going to go to another country who is willing to manage immigration with a better approach and provide a more certain perspective to new immigrants. The government allowed many bad actors (locals and foreigners) to take advantage of the system and those who are going to pay the bill are new immigrants due to political elections, and that is just sad. We will see who are they going to blame for mismanagement of public resources and the possible crash of several industries, that are currently relaying on foreign money, once there are no new immigrants to blame. I agree with most of the new rules regarding immigration, but I strongly disagree with the political approach of how the government is blaming immigrants for their lack of proper management. I still believe Canada is a great country no matter the outcome of my personal immigration process, wish you all the best of luck!

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

And all the agents would lose their jobs! What keeps them employed is illegal immigration. ?‍♂️ Once upon a time, when I was working in Nairobi, Kenya ??, I had a friend who was hired to clean up a large office compound. He constantly urged his boss to cut down a tree that was shedding too many leaves ? and making the compound messy. Eventually, the boss agreed and had the tree removed ?. A few months later, my friend lost his job because the compound was now spotless and didn’t need regular cleaning. The moral of the story? Be careful what you wish for! ? If they build the wall and successfully curb illegal immigration, many border security agents could lose their jobs, and their families would suffer ?‍?‍?‍?. Sometimes, what seems like an ‘evil’ situation can bring blessings to others. For example, while death is sad and brings grief ?, the lack of it would mean no work for morgues, grave diggers, coffin makers, or florists ⚰️?. I mean no harm with my comment, and I personally dislike illegal immigration ?, but it’s worth reflecting on how interconnected everything is ?.

Unfortunately there are many like her, and the bottom line is that her greed and jealousy of others not having “suffered” what she did makes her feel like she is more worthy to be here. It is sad and disgusting

Sadly the last generation and the last bit of hope to make things right between us.
