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.

REMEBER PEOPLE ...... THINK .... THINK HARD BEFORE YOU VOTE, TAKE A GOOD LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VOTE FOR BIDEN / Harris , I HOPE YOU ENJOY WATCHING YOUR TAX DOLLARS GOING TO WASTE !!!! ??TRUMP ?? 2024 ??

As November closes in, this will get worse. Some people just can't take a loss. Willing to do this on the backs of the Americans. Paying for votes should be illegal.

Welcome to New York! Way to go kamalamaladingdong! The border Czar is still at it, she's protecting all of us citizens of America isn't she? What a good job she's doing about controlling the border crisis, no problem at the border now she just ships them close to Canada and then down to New York. How you legal people of New York are putting up with this is beyond me, kiss your state goodbye with her in charge! Remember for change vote TRUMP!!!!

And New Yorkers will still vote for the people who brought them here.

Yeah people keep voting for this s***

IF that Unqualified Political Hack Extraordinaire is Elected ( God Forbid ) you can look for this in virtually EVERY Town and Major City in America. And the Mind Boggling part; people will actually Vote for that Anti American Marxist. LOOK at the hideous Policies she would implement.

NEVER FORGET DEMOCRATS. YOU VOTED FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO GO TO ILLEGALS RATHER THAN YOUR OWN PEOPLE. THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. WHY AREN'T YOU MAD? WHY AREN'T YOU SPEAKING OUT? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING UP WITH IT? \n\nCome on New Yorkers. You're killing your City, and paying for your destruction. WAKE UP!

They are bringing these people to the United States to vote for Camelface Harris against president Trump .

You can have em! It’s our pleasure. The problem is our PM. Trudeau. He’s a radical woke far left imbecile. He’s an activist who dupped the young people in our country to vote for him. He’s the poster boy for a greasy out of touch lying politician. We have an election. Text year. Don’t worry my American friends he won’t win again and we’ll right the ship.

1 2 3 4 who you voting for? You can't assume that these people are leaving conditions worse than america, take away the free housing you all you have is a larger homeless population.

Thank the corrupt communist administration for this. Keep voting for globalists people!

People will overwhelmingly vote Democrat no matter how dangerous things get. My emotional wife is voting for anyone but Trump. To her and others like her, Trump is the worst thing that can happen to our country. Everyone needs to vote. The spread of socialism has to stop

This is great, I wonder why the people aren’t complaining to the democrat administration, or their senator they voted for? Seems like the democrats are more like sheep and just keep voting for democrats without any thought of the consequences.

This is planned by the left to cause mayhem and anarchy! Then another power grab will take place. This is NOT an accident people!! Vote for Trump because your freedom and your life depend on it. America first ??

And yet people of NY will vote for the wrong candidate. U know who!!!!

Is NY gonna vote differently this year? Left for Florida in 2012. I can't believe they still vote for the same people.

We here in Canada are f**k. The Country is full of idiots who keep voting Liberal. Letting in hundreds of thousands of immigrants who take their job, driving inflation and pushing wages down.\n\nOne question to everyone, how can demand and inflation goes down when consumption goes up by the very people's they let in. Time to deport.

If you people vote kamala harris And the same person that is responsible for this mess.There will be a civil war

Thanks for doing this vid so people will see and know!!. \n\nIs this what people want? This is all bc of Biden and Kamala. Smdh she's over the border... both of them and she's personally destroying our country and all of our lives. Wake the F up!!! Dont vote for dems anymore, they dont care about any of us and arent doing anything for any actual US citizens but the illegals that WE'RE PAYING FOR!!

To the good people of New York, if you want to stop the illegal immigrants to stop invading your state, vote for Republicans. If you continue to vote for democrats the invasion will continue and YOU will pay for it.

The blame falls on the American people who stand by and ignor the problem and just complain about it. Treat these ILLEGALS just as you would be treated if you went illegaly into their Country. Don't vote, or keep voting the way you have been, and it will get worse.

But it’s just a matter of time before they begin migrating to other cities and states as well. Vote this administration out people; it may already be too late for America.

all these people make ALL our problems worse! there are NO benefits!! VOTE TRUMP

I guess people are never going to learn, are they? You get what you vote for. Welcome to the Banana Republic of the United States of Losers, the newest of the new third world countries at the illegal migrants service, but you're on your own if you're an American.

People that vote for this kind of virtue signaling policies should open up their own houses ?.

That clown Trump’s doing! I call him orange man. Vote Kamala 2024 ?? and let’s make things right for our country, Canada, and way less fortunate people globally.

kamala was left to control the borders she let them in so that they can take the dead peoples vote and he can win the presidency. they did the same thing when biden ran

Wow…and people are so uneducated that they’ll still vote for that woman…she doesn’t care about the U.S clearly.

If these are just good people escaping a climate crisis, shut up live with it. Horrid over clogged conditions are better for them than dying. \nIf they are criminals exploiting a broken system send them all back. \nYou talk as if they are both. They can't be both. \nYou voted for this, deal with it. You wanted criminals taken care of.

If the dumb people vote the commie Kamala USA will be 1000% worst!!!So think before you vote people!!!So don't cry people if you vote the commie Kamala,cuz then YOU get what you ask for!!!

They're getting over $13,000 of EBT every month. Everyone should be outraged but they keep voting for Democrats and people better wake up.

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.

This is insane. Our own people don’t even get enough help from the govt and now all these illegals are getting housing and money to stay here, just so they will vote for the Democrats. This is just shitty. Stop voting for all incumbents.

They can vote for the border czar Kamala and people are still supporting her

STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT PEOPLE WAKE UP !!!??‍♂️

WE ARE TRYING HARD DNOUGHT OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD ALL BE DEPORTED AT OUNCE. O MORE MONEY NO MORE FREEBIES A D FREE MEDICAL CARE. BIDIN HAS NOT FI ISH HIS JOB TO BRING OUR COUNTRY DOWN WILL THESE PEOPLE BE ALLOWED TO VOTE. KAMALA HARRIS THINKS SHE WILL MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT. LET US START PRAYING HEANVELY FATHER TAKE CONTROL... .AMEN

We are aware and we as Canadians care about our role in your and our border problem. Our Liberal government however is the problem. Unintelligent people in cabinet following the most unintelligent Prime Minister. Why Canadians vote for them is beyond me. Mostly eastern Canadians do as western Canadians are Conservative voters.

As we can see the Democrats are destroying this country yet there are people who back it. The country will never be the same. Free rent, Healthcare, food, schooling who wouldn't want to come here. Citizens of this country will eventually lose their voting power and rights and will be taxed higher and higher.

The only people dumber than the corrupt Democrats running NYC are the people who keep voting for them. NYC deserves everything they are getting. I hope it gets worse.

In NYC, migrants from South America can go to 800 2nd Ave Manhattan and go up to the 2nd floor to the Embassy and get papers filled out, get a passport, get your reloadable debt card, medical, schooling, housing voucher and live like a king for a few months. Over 200 line up every morning here and several hundred a day go through to get this. Can we be mad at the migrants, NO. Though I can be mad at the government for allowing and promoting it. When I got leukemia from the job the utility company fought Workers comp and stopped my pay to starve us out. I ended up homeless with a wife and 4 children. All social services in NY could do was offer us $13 a day per child for food allowance and nothing more. We couldn’t even get Medicare. The food allowance was only for 7 days. It’s a disgrace how citizens are treated. Come here illegally and they offer you the world. These politicians need to be voted out. Social services was developed to help those citizens in need and it’s not happening. People need to realize that government contractors (usually family of politicians) are hired to help these “migrants” . These contractors even from the UN are in Panama helping migrants get here. If you research it you will get angry for sure. My elected officials in Northern NY know what’s going on and are behind it, they don’t even hide it.

Vote red people - that is the only thing that will stop this - put aside your hate for Republicans and think about your families and their futures or we'll look like the UK, Poland, France, Ireland where the illegals and refugees have taken over the country and govts

The US: getting over on its own people taking more power they didn’t have away from them.\n\n\nStupid American: I’m voting trump, Kamala caused this, I blame Biden etc.

It's fine to put Legal Americans on the street but not people that broke our Federal Immigration laws. A vote for Harris it will get worse.
