It all comes down to how many babies Canada makes versus the cost of social services. We have anti-family systems, crushing living costs and aging population. Our socialist system needs tax dollars to fund “free healthcare” and other election promises that require funding. So, Canada realized this, and the bandaid approach is to fill the country with young immigrants. To hear this is about population growth is flat out, wrong.

That's hilarious, for the last decade it has been exactly the opposite, ever hear of roxham road ffs. I call your bs.

I’ve yet to hear Trump say anything negative about her being black .. he’s simply stating she’s using it as a card to get votes .: never said be scared of her bc shes black .. but be fearful of our economic and criminal future if she gets elected .. have the last 4 years gotten better or worse ? Was 2016-2020 better for your neighborhoods and pocket book ? STOP

that's what you get for being a blue state lol.. no really i feel bad but they did vote for boarders to be open, or maybe they've been blindly following dems without actually hearing their policies :x

About time politicians on both side of border stopped the maddness. Start implementing 24 hour deportation hearings to prevent this ridiculous situation

We have no jobs anymore in Ottawa Ontario ! Crime is gone up 100% , Trudeau is bringing in buses by the dozens to hotels ! Can't get a doctor !!! Tents are going up everywhere ! Drug overdoses everyday , welcome to India , are great Canadian rock music is gone ,all you hear downtown Ottawa now is india music ,

So instead of hearing trucks filled with migrants cooking to death in the summertime down south, now we'll hear about them freezing to death up north. Stop the insanity

fake n news get ready hear crazy immigrants lies to scare ppl to vote for Trump dont buy the lies do your own research please!

I was doing some comparative research on violent crime statistics because my home town of Winnipeg gets such a bad rap in Canada as the nation's most crime-ridden major city. So I did some looking into US cities of roughly the same size and crime stats. As it turns out, Winnipeg is the same as Seattle. Ever hear an American bitch about the crime in Seattle?

Thank your democrats. Did yall hear about the illegal migrant, who had 13,000 in foodstamps.

Enablers should be punished equally to the offenders of our asylum laws. If they lost their citizenship, and were subject to deportation, perhaps things would change. I hear there is a big election coming up later this year in America.

i dont really hear it on the news so this must be fake

I find it interesting that people will scream how horrible the USA is, yet.... millions have been risking their life and their families life to get here, and those same people that scream about how bad the USA is support it...? It just feels like backwards logic and all I hear is double standard arguments.

Why leave Canada when they have free health care, no need to work free money from social assistance and even more money if you have kids Canada is welcoming to all foreign prisoners no matter what your crime and the more dishonest you are or smart you can even get even more money from their system. We call that money for nothing. Only reason you would leave Canada is to go to somewhere warm and NY city is not warmer now head on down to Florida, Texas or across to California, especially California where everyone here is just waiting for you to take their jobs can i hear a Amen for that. The Government has us all fooled making us believe there is a shortage in all jobs just so they can keep on bring in more immigrants which makes the wages lower and raise the cost of living especially housing.

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

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.

Well the fact is the country can use the people ( as there is massive amount of space and manufacturing always needed) \nbut Nyers need to think outside the apple and see the opportunity to work with local agencies and see how to better the country. Not only is the rest of country waiting to meet us and collaborate (except maybe Baltimore & Boston if its valid to say still) \nbut there is so many opportunities that can develop from having a bunch of ready and determined to thrive people around your block! Waiting for You honestly , to hear your beautiful words and pet your beautiful dogs and cats perhaps but not touch anything else. Dos equis my freinds even though i dont drink

All New Yorkers rejoice. You're getting exactly what you advertised and voted for. Come one, come all. I don't want to hear anyone in New York complain. Ever.

I live in New Hampshire and our winters can be no joke. It’s common to hear homeless have been found frozen to death up here especially during January and February

I hear they are in the suburbs of upstate ny by Buffalo , looting, murder thief, rape, trafficking .. they are NOT good people .. and they are mostly solo men.. “ sanctuary” ciy?? Scary

NY Liberals can eat it, let me hear it again NY, can you say, SANCTUARY, lol they only said it because they thought it was only a Texas problem, now it is time to eat up NY or stop voting for libs

Do it during the winter time, I hear the weather is awesome!

The first thing I think of when I hear the word 'Immigration' is 'Traitors'.

Your country keeps entering their nose in other countries business just hear your south comander if the USA stops intruding in the business of the other countries probably that border crisis would exist cause if your country is good why would you want to go to another

The wolf population bear population an mountain lions, cougars has skyrocketed. Attacking people but you don't hear that on the news. Southern New England predators have triple fold. Never saw a bear for 65 years. On average during the spring summer an fall, I'll see probably 30 on my 10 trail cameras. And I only have 10 acres. Never had mountain lions now we have at least six pair. Coyotes foxes permanent residents every day. We don't go outside at night without a handgun

It is all a planned design to break America --- Father God, we pray You can help to bring Truth to all the lies we hear and expose all who committed treason/corruption in your eyes from within all aspects of all levels of governments, Deep State, MSM, Big-Tech, WEF, WHO, Bankers, big and small business, etc. We thank You and pray You can renew the face of the Earth.

What northern New York cities are these people coming from? I didn't hear one mentioned.

Everywhere I go around Jacksonville Florida I hear more Spanish than English anymore. The laundromat I wash clothes in they were pulling out money from Mexico that was left it peoples pockets…

they're not migrants, they're illegals - i hear its nicer in Canada, so stay there

Aren't you guys getting sick of hearing that they come from extreme poverty. Come on get real.

It was a nice change to hear India is in the mix, not as if they were hiding but weren’t getting the recognition that the others are

If you had an elevator that could hold 10 people would you stuff 20 into it?\nIf you went scuba diving with 20 minutes of air and decide to surface in 30?\nI can appreciate helping others, but we do have a capacity. It's already been exceeded. \nNY'ers don't pray for the downfall or failure of other cities, please don't pray the downfall of NYC. ?\nOur administration will hear our voice in November.

Word gets around fast, people hear about it when Adams is handing out thousands of dollars a month to non citizens who illegally crossed the border.

I've been saying this all while everyones eyes have been on our southern borders that why isn't anyone looking at our northern borders as they have to be just as bad if not worse. Distrackting everyones eyes from the norrh as everyone looks south is the most mind blowing by DC.qnd all our Politicans. Not one Politican even brought this up with all their rants about the southern borders. Are they all that stupid or is this all a plan by both partys. If our country really needs workers then where are all these jobs for all these immigrants and why not make a faster system to make them legal and more judges to have their hearings for Asylum seekers and Refugees to see if they even qualify. We have to stop funding the UN and NGOs.

Told you. Once they hear there's shelter/food/money being provided they'll come on their own and won't have to be sent. And NOTHING you tell them about the reality will stop them. They heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from their cousins nephews next door neighbor and that's the gospel truth from then on. They don't care who they displace, they don't care if it hurts other refugees, they don't care if the smugglers they pay kill innocent people during the process. They want what they now believe they are owed. Period. And you'll give it to them or they'll make you sorry.

Did you ever hear of Roxham Road ?

What happened to the over priced New York apartments I’m so tired of hearing about migrants and thieves

We're tired of hearing about this problem. It's time to regard this as a national security threat, and charge violators for federal crimes.

Asalam alekum, dear sister and brother of Allah. \n\nInshalla, we can move with the angels, saints, The Holy Prophet(es), and may the peace of a shared God and have understanding and knowing of The Truth of the yom al kiyom, and all will be judged as Allah wills to all. \n be upon them all, of the Holy Quran, and pray all times. God already hears and see what we all are doing.

Hello I hope to hear back from you..\nMy sponsor’s bank statements closing balance is lower than the CA$20,000 but there has been some good transactions is it still okay to attach??\n\nAlso can I add another sponsor already in Canada? The persons pay slip??

Pathetic protests, need to be stopped. They can’t hear you they are to far away. Go protest in muslim countries please. Oh no, you’re not allowed because they don’t want you there.

Yeah but if they got their way they would subjugate us and make us all second class citizens so I don't want to hear it

If this was Putin we wouldn’t hear from dat doorman anytime soon

Just wanna present some of my views on this topic, as a indian living in Canada, a lot of points in this discussion are pretty valid. Although, the hate is also in my opinion a little misdirected.\n\nInternational students pay three, maybe even five times as much as domestic students in terms of tuition fees, and while I 100% agree that not everybody even deserves to stay here, a major portion of fault is on government. If you want to make an argument, that government or the country in general never promise the residency status in Canada, then regulate the tuition fees, make it manageable for everyone.\n\nIf you don't want to do that, fair enough, then provide opportunities, there 100% are bad apples in the population, I will not deny that! But you called them, you took the responsibility, you promised the opportunities and students paid for it. Now you hate us for that, either build the bridge both ways or don't hate.\n\nI am genuinely more frustrated with the system rather than immigrants, it is becoming a widespread trend to hate immigrants but I believe the government is just as much at a fault. If you think I am wrong, I would to hear your views on the topic, it is a pretty complex one, just be respectful.

You made some good points. Canada protects everyone’s rights to say and live how they want. It’s refreshing to hear a rationale where people choose to pursue happiness elsewhere. Good luck to your family on your next adventure.

How does that dumbass not hear the dude get slammed up against the door?

I'm a dual citizen of the USA and Canada (born in Dallas Texas, now lived in Canada since age 7). I agree with your point about American's being kind but getting a bad rap. I think a big part of that is due to media because for the most part you hear about the bad news about what Americans have done but you rarely hear about the wonderful sides of American people.

I sure hope it signals the end, it is too much! I am tired of not even hearing English being spoken in my neighbour. Look at Britain, that is our future.

Thanks for telling the don’t want to hear it . They are addicted to hate

No Mexican comes here to commit terrorism ill say that and u got be a dm fool to think this okor vote for who does. But this trump fault cz they say they need a bill signed. Crock, hear the bs narritive the left is trying blame trump
