I pay 11.5% of my income directly to pensioners as a contract worker making less than 50K in 2023. At total tax rate of 26% all inclusive. I have to live at home, and I can't find a single job that isn't contract work, and I'm a designer who's worked with F500 companies. The best Canadian rate hourly is 30$, my American contracts have paid 135$ an hour. It's such a bad deal to be a Canadian millennial. Canada has two classes. The ruling pensioner elder class which makes up 60% of the country and everyone else that they've impoverished. Canada has poor pay, worsening living standards, extremely high white collar competition, few job prospects and a disintegrating social fabric. But somehow I think this is the story of the entire commonwealth right now. So that makes us no different, and I don't really believe the grass is greener among the G7 either.

Listen if we don’t do something about this our dream land soon will became a third world country us as Americans we need to come together and stop this illegal activity on my eyes ? everyone is welcome to America to enter but the legal way why those people don’t do the same with their own government they coming from smh nyc is soon to become a third world country city because this bs my point is USA need to be republicans no matter what God I miss president trump

Y’all gonna keep letting everyone else from everywhere else come here and pretty soon we ain’t gonna have no where to live , watch . It’s already happening here in San Diego . America the Great let’s let everyone in so we can now live like shit and let’s give them money and help house them give them food stamps but if ur an AMERICAN u can’t even qualify for free child care to work and support ur family . Seems fair , NOT !!!!! \nI don’t care what country I are coming from . There’s a process to get here . I wouldn’t be able to just run and flea into another country and then come back whenever . There’s certain things I’d need to do . Don’t come for me either bc I got a black kid and a Mexican kid so I’m not racist but I live on a bordering city and I see it all first hand . America is starting to turn into china with all these density housing .

Lock the border because either theyre smuglers or already criminals and or will have criminal babies because that insane all those people want to come to the usa not everyone should be judge like that because they’re more good hard working people than bad but you cant just storm rush another countrys like take your time better if they come in sections and some most of the time won’t make over either dead or in imigration but thats a whole uncontrolled crowd of animals

The wall sounds like a fantastic idea now but everyone was talking shit about Trump. Every country protects thier borders and they don't tolerate illegal immigrants and often send them right back meanwhile we put immigrants in high end fancy hotels and give them benefits

When Trump called it a mass invasion the race baiters went crazy with bullshit lies. No country just let's everyone in their country freely and if our government don't protect our borders, we as people should. An army of people from a country or countries that want us destroyed could have gotten thousands if not tens of thousands of soldiers in out. Country by now. Just\n Luke the Trojan horse and Troy. We are doomed if the people don't unite. All races in America need to open their eyes and see that their is us, the 99 percent and then there is the 1 percent that see us all as enemies. How can 1 percent control the 99 percent. By division. Divide and conquer. Better get woke for real. Not the woke they feed the masses in the media

Biden too busy sending Ukraine mass amounts of money while turning a blind eye to our own country . Hope everyone who voted for him is happy ?

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.

I'm first a mom,wife,grandmother and a lover of the human race.\nWe Americans have got to get some kind of immigration reform asap. The Democrat's control everything why didn't they get some kind of bill on the table. Other countries have immigration laws, I do agree we need to first take care of the ones who's been here for 20 years and 10 years the one's with good working efforts and no criminal record pay there taxes every year and get no help from the GOVERNMENT like foodstamps,wic,public housing and free medical insurance. This should be the standard for all Americans. Maybe we should close our borders for everyone for the next ten years until we take care of the ones that are here now. Other countries please take care of your own citizens do better and maybe some day the tables will change around. We Americans will be trying to come to you're country. Americans we can do this if we put the right people in the WHITE HOUSE. PS CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE TERM LIMITS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE CAN'T KEEP BEATING THE SAME DEAD HORSE.

Incredible. Hey Trudeau I hope you have a moment to review the unanimous statements posted here.\nA serious shortage of housing and a health system that can't be fixed .\nI'm no expert but probably 20 nurses , doctors and surgeons if spoken to have some insight on what they are talking about.\nIt was four years ago my family physician looked over the X-rays of my back and he said that if I'm don't have surgery within two months I will end up with a life altering disability.\nHaven't had the surgery and it hasn't even been discussed with my surgeon.\nMind you it's a 42 month waiting time to even get into his office.\nBring them all bring everyone Trudeau you pile of crap. \nMaybe the country would be better off if instead of spending 6k a night on your hotel and just spend 4k like the rest of us working stiffs

They should abide by our laws and come here legally like everyone else. I don’t want ppl who try to force their way in into another country. Scary

This is what gives them a bad name! We don't even have enough jobs for us citizens. Our disabled can't even get disability or help yet they will come here illegally, get jobs we could use, n get welfare, disability, n anything else they can get for free while real citizens suffer. We should arrest them all n ban everyone who tried to come in illegally from ever being able to enter. We don't need more unruly, beggar pple comi g into this country. We are tired of supporting illegals. The best thing trump did was start building the wall. The worst thing he did was no finish it. They don't want us coming illegally into their country so USA citizens should give them a taste of their own meds. So many of us are tired of illegals coming in so we can support them while they commit a high percentage of the crime in the USA. I think we should use whatever force needed to keep these pple out! These pple are rioting n violent.....get them out!!!!! ?

Dang as a Mexican who has came from family who crossed the border i can honestly admit this is not okay and needs to be cracked down on the main issue is the liberal fools who absolutely know nothing but act on emotion and feel like everyone deserves to come here this country is declining rapidly because we don’t allow it to do what needs to be done to protect it

Why are they coming here to the most racist country on earth sad reality is that we're not as racist as democrats paint us to be imagine being a self hating American and hating yourself and then you see this immigrants wanting to come here to we're there hated by everyone america is not racist is your propaganda machine

America, the country everyone hates, but the country that every nationality, religion, race lives in.

It's unconscionable that we've invited people to come to Canada without actually following through on the promise we made to them in the first place. Was it all just sloganeering designed to appeal to liberal progressive NIMBYers? Was there ever any intent on actually doing something for these poor people beyond a sound bite or photo op? \n\nThe solution to migration because of war, terror, famine and so on is not by opening up the borders and allowing everyone in, the solution to mass migrations (over 100 million worldwide) is to tackle the conditions that make such migrations necessary. Almost without exception, each one of these migrant/refugee situations are the result of political problems that have to be tackled in those countries where the conditions exist. There are over 100 million people fleeing conditions that make life unbearable, even if we wanted to, how are we to take them all into North America? How does anyone propose we do that, and even if we could manage it somehow, another 100 million would show up on our doorstep next year...or next week...it's simply not possible or reasonable to expect us to be overwhelmed by wave after wave of the poor unfortunate. The solutions to war and famine abroad can't be found here and we need to make it plain that people who live in such conditions must first rise up to help themselves. We can and should help, politically, through foreign aid and individual donations (North Americans are among the most generous donators after all), and even militarily where feasible or possible. The UN and other coalitions of nations, must each take up the burdens before people smugglers take it up for them. We have our own problems to deal with here and I'm not willing to vote for promises made that were never meant to be kept.

Man, I really do love everyone who is currently in office for our government at the moment. I just love letting any & everyone into our country, not to mention the cost of groceries & gas is amazing too! I absolutely love paying almost $7.00 just for a gallon of milk. It also just makes me think about such better times that were...... I don't know, like three fucking years ago! When the average American could afford to buy groceries & gas, and any other essential as needed. \n\nNow we will find housing for all of the people illegally entering our country, while we have more than enough Veterans sleeping on the street, & not to mention that 22 Veterans a day kill them selves on average. But MS-13 gang member and Mexican Cartel members deserve a nice place to live, hopefully they don't cut off anyone's head during their stay! ?\n\nBut, anyways....This current regime deserves nothing but praise! Thank you, Democrats, seriously thank the Fuck out of you people!!!?

It’s weird countries have boarders at all. We’re all human. We can’t we go where we please without boo-coos of money and the right documentation. It’s odd how certain groups of people can control everyone and people just let them.

A few shots and everyone runs back to their countries

What I want to know is why every country in the world want to only come to Dallas. Tx. Also Houston in all around Tx \nThese people are trying to destroy our country.i feel bad for them but why Dallas seen like everyone in these countries trying.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou see if they act like this. then that tell me a lot of criminal are running in this Pack if they act like that? why would we let them in now this is scary very?

Trump started the caravans when he told everyone he was closing the boarders. There's only so much anyone can do alone which this is another reason to work together. We are a compassionate country so watching people want what we have because their country is dangerous and controling, is understandable but sad. Sad it has come to this. There's only so much we can do and a wall won't stop anyone from getting here. This will only cause a bigger divide.

Everyone on here is racist, I’ve been there and know personally what their going through. If those were white people they’d be allowed to enter the country ? and receive all the help you could imagine

Yeah so someone about 5 years ago tried to put up a wall… He was called raciest and a bigot.. The problems that are happening now followed. America was cranking people were making more then ever, then democrats made a plea of stop working, coronavirus is bad get the shot. This country has literally been run straight through the ground in the last 2 years. Trump didn’t want everyone to stay home I’m with him it caused more harm then good… I’m sad for America and so are most veterans. To the point most people are scared to open there mouths for fear of the government coming and silencing them.. sounds familiar right

Seeing this children? \nVenezuelans fleeing on mass for the USA. Maybe the mass murdering, everyone equally poor and deprived system of socialism doesn't work to well and people want out to a better more free country.

Everyone needs to start rebellion in their own countries for wages, real schools, good food and fair laws that make people want to stay and build community and country harmony instead of running to another messed up country! Go after your govts! ????

It’s time for USA to stop offering asylum to everyone! Why people don’t go to a USA embassy in the country where they live !

Venezuelans are desperate because the country went from riches to rags and everyone there is hungry.

I’m sorry but America can’t be the savior to the world. Our patriotism and laws mean that we are one of the most free nations and a large percentage of us would fight and do fight to keep our nation secure. Sad reality is that not all countries have the laws we do… and that sucks. But the world needs to understand that our laws and our freedoms end at our borders. Life unfortunately is not fair and some have to endure the realities of where they were born. If we let everyone in who wants to come then our country would be in much worse shape than it already is.

Joe Biden's America everyone. This country can't even support the citizens it has now.

You can thank the people who voted for the left , the democrats and Biden for this. For the all time high drugs flowing into the country , crime at a staggering all time high , wasting billions of hard earned tax dollars and leaving it to our enemy’s in the form of military equipment , stopping us from being self sufficient in oil production which everyone needs to live for heat, food, transportation, and economic gain and so much more. trying to take away the rights of its citizens and turn what was once a great country into a horrible place to live-they can’t win the next election constitutionally so they do it illegally. Everything is being taken away and so much damage has been done because of it.

This is to much everyone can't come here clean ur own country

Everyone in The entire world wants to come to America. It’s not right that just because a country shares the border with us were allowing them to come here claiming asylum asylum from what not making enough money. The entire world is in the same situation it’s BS. This is the Democratic Party trying to change the voters of America and it’s wrong

Sadly, we can't help EVERYONE trying to enter our country! ??

This isnt right! If you want to come to another country u have to go thru the proper channels - JUST like everyone else does. I get there may be issues happening in your country. But u need to use this same NRG in fighting to make YOUR country amazing! \nIm also concern for the amount of ppl you know used this situation to their advantage and brought drugs over the boarder. Its just too much. Has to stop. Something has to be fixed with these situations. There are many ppl suffering all over the world and trying to leave their country- but those suffering right now WORSE then those in Mexico- they go thru the proper channels- and theyve LOST everything. Including access to a computer and service. Yet they find away

My question is what is happening there...that everyone wants to leave? Has the drug cartels taken over the whole country? What's really going on? I honestly would like to know...doesn't make sense.

I love how everyone says they need to fix their own country like it's so easy & aren't trying already. Think they want to leave their home? Saying that while sitting on your couch in America, watching TV & stuffing your face

The reason everyone wants to come to America is look how much money we throw away through the welfare and Medicaid systems alone to perfectly healthy people they don't even do welfare checks to see if they're getting our government is ignorant as the money they throw away through hard-earned tax payers dollars is ridiculous anybody could scan this government out of money it's not hard to get help in this country there's help everywhere you just got to know where to look for it here

Migrants enter and find no jobs, food, shelter. by human nature to survive crime will increase in stealing , breaking in etc.. how is the government going to protect the citizens of the country !? Very concerning situation. They have to do something to control and keep everyone safe!

Everyone talks shit about our country but look at who’s tryna get in… ?

This is horrible we cannot even take care of our own USA citizens. They need to fight for their own country..We cannot take care of everyone..Iam sad for all of these people, they need to stay home elect candidates that will take care of their country..Our President and his crooks are ruining this country ...

Everyone wants to come to America, but America can't handle or have that kind of crowd. They need to go to different countries too.

This is very sad. These people had no choice but to migrate, mostly due to US policies and how they have robbed their country of basic opportunity.\n\nThese are human beings. Everyone has a right to survive. \n\nI have no idea why they keep doing this. Racism I guess. \n\nOPEN THE FUCKING BORDER NOW!!!!!!\n\nSHAME ON THE BORDER GESTAPO. YOU GOT YOURS SO EVERYONE ELSE CAN GO FUCK OFF EH???? \n\nOPEN THE FUCKING BORDER!!!!!!

This is ridiculous. I consider myself an independant cuz I agree with certain things on both sides but on immigration I lean republican\n\nThis country is the only country ppl do this in. Y do everyone wanna come to the USA. We gotta do something and I actually agreed with putting up a wall or some sort of stable barrier. Either come here legally or stay where you're at. I'm from the Caribbean and had to wait 7years for my greencard after filing and came here legally and these ppl just wanna rush our borders illegally. And I get your country is inhumane and sucks but we can't take in everyone who lives in a country that sucks\n\nWe have a huge homeless problem in this country and this will only add to it, not to mention these ppl can't work here and will probably go on welfare which puts more strain on the system and the taxpayers. We need to take care of our own b4 taking care of others. Why dont these ppl go rush canadas borders or go to mexico or somewhere else. This angers me

This is what the Democratic Party offers everyone, take a good look around. Open borders, taxpayer money going oversees, jobs being given to illegal immigrants over the country’s own citizens, etc. The Democratic Party if fundamentally Anti-American/Constitution, that’s why they want Big Government to have money, power & control over everything! Then they turn around and make you the bad guy if you say illegals should stay out because it’ll damage our economy even further. It’s all ass backwards!!!

Not everyone in the world can live here.. it is just not possible. There is not enough room for all the people to live in this country- in addition to the people, what about housing, hospitals for sick people,schools for the children , buildings for the employers to manufacture products, roads for all the vehicles and where is all the food going to be grown... No one mentions that

They wrecked their country now everyone has to pay

Everyone from a different country is welcome here! ?what’s the dam problem I don’t get it!?

Every country must follow a budget! We cant fix everyones problems. They need to go back and fix their own!

The cartels are knowingly spreading false information on social media saying Biden is letting everyone through. \n It's sad that many who are claiming asylum, when that's not what is actually needed. They want our way of life, which I can't fault them for, but we can't just let everyone in and give them more than Americans get themselves. \nWe seem to be the only country who is hated for not letting anyone through. Both arms of my family did it legally, they have to as well. Yes, it's hard now, but we aren't in a position to do this.

They just want a better life for themselves and their children.. their country is in shambles, people starving, can't find jobs. They need to fight for leadership change unfortunately in that country they shoot you if you try to go against the government. With everyone struggling there's not much chance of overthrowing the government so they run to other countries where they think we can provide a better life. In the past I wouldn't have had an issue with this,. but our own issues have been getting worse and worse,.
