Why not ship them to Minneapolis and St. Paul. Governor WALZ will welcome them with open arms

I came to Canada in 2005 , I consider that real Canadians are a welcoming society, they are protecting home from abusive and disrespectful people that do not deserve to live in Canada and it is totally fear. As immigrant I agree.

Welcome to America if you came here legally if you didn't come here legally go home

Social media has exposed how North America - Canada and US have declined due to their welcoming inclinations.

Well the same happens in HK when HK government, which its citizens never voted for, welcomes thousands and thousands of mainland Chinese immigrants every year (who are very rich) for work, investment (money laundering) and university degrees and the rent goes up every year like crazy, and all they want is a HK passport so they can then move overseas, and they still shame and mock HK for fighting for democracy

One World Western society. Welcome!

I was fortunate to relocate to the Canada a few years ago. Witnessing the social issues exacerbated by ineffective immigration policies, I can understand why Canadians might feel frustrated. I'm always eager to engage with the community, but I found that many Canadians are reluctant to discuss politics or care about what is going on in their neighborhoods, and the voting rate in city elections are very low. A few months ago, I shared a city government survey designed to collect residents' opinions about the next 5-year development plan with some friends, but only one out of five showed interest in participating.\nI hope that more Canadians will take advantage of their democratic system to drive change and shape her into the country they want to live in. Back in my home country, we couldn’t vote for our government, so having democracy is a privilege—please use it wisely while you can!\nNote: I am grateful that the Canadians I’ve met have been very welcoming.

I'll be honest, 10-15 years ago, Canadians/Europeans lampooned U.S for their strict Immigration laws, hated the U.S for not welcoming others... I find it interesting how the tides have turned over the years.

Welcome to everyone who is willing to be responsible resident of NY City!!

Being tolerant and welcoming of massive numbers of immigrants who thank us by being intolerant and hateful towards us is absolutely unacceptable and it must stop.

Notice the people of sweden and Europe were welcoming to immigrants and how it changes.. Well well well.

Or we should ask, WHY are we obligated to welcome immigrants? It's a privilege to settle down in another country, especially when that comes with more perks than living in your home country

Too many people are being welcomed. Economy can't absorb the influx. It's called a population trap.

But the BOARDER is closed ????. They should make the bridge a u with a sign welcome to America so they end up back where they came from.. Ha

Welcome to the Biden administration I’m surprised Joe wasn’t there giving something away to them

Why did we keep quiet for the past 2 decades when our government was not increasing incomes, didn't focus on housing supply especially cheaper apartments, but banks and politicians together put 4 times more burden on us when it comes to monthly mortgages or rents and groceries, now suddenly we call immigrants as the problem for everything. How will Canada impress the world if it targets the weakest people in Canada rather than working on the core issues, the poor refugees and immigrants who were welcome with open arms can never influence the powerful think about it dear Canadians ?

Those encampments are all across the nation & that's very concerning. They need to tackle the ongoing poverty and homelessness issue first before welcoming more migrants into the country.

Welcome to Toronto, INDIA!

Because you are not welcome is someones country

Excelente! Very good!\nMayor Adams; the mayor of illegal aliens welcome them.

Welcome to crime to Canada

Kamala welcomed them in. Trump will take them out

Welcome them in NYC. You wanted them, you got them. So glad your a sanctuary city.

This is what happens when this PM welcomed anyone and everyone from anywhere, including criminals hiding amongst others through Roxham Rd. It’s so easy for criminals to just walk in because of the poor vetting, if any at all! What a joke and the scamming in OUR Canada is running rampant! It’s time this stops! WE did NOT ask for this and if you hear rumours to come here and you get offered you a silver platter, don’t come here! NO excuse…DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you arrive here! Actual Citizens are paying the highest price…….they are “dying” because OUR healthcare system is overloaded, THAT angers me the most! This must end soon!!

Welcoming people to your country should not have been allowed to become an industry unto itself.

Chicago USA....welcome....first generation Ukraine....I was born here and mother born in a camp during WWII....had a sponsor and took 7 years go be a US citizen....Chicago is well you will see in August

So Ukrainians are welcome in Canada but not from other nations.

Go to any liberal city they'll welcome you with open arms and hugs

It’s called speaking facts on the street. Welcome to democracy. Don’t support Hamas if you don’t want to be called out for your evil.

Canada was not generous in welcoming immigrants. They need immigrants so your economy would move. That’s a fact and an economic fact. All experts will say that. The problem is irresponsible immigration programs.

Dear Americans. We have a political class that will do anything house prices high. Most notably we welcomed 1.3 million immigrants while only building 200k homes and creating 400k jobs. Our immigrants are being cheated and deceived. Our people and our new immigrants deserve better. Even many of our Canadian born citizens are looking to go south. So on behalf of my people, I am sorry for exporting our problems.

We aren’t anti immigrant. Canada has always been a friendly and peaceful country and we have always welcomed immigrants. It’s mass migration that we are opposed too because we don’t have the infrastructure or the money to take care of everybody. We have a housing crisis, a health care crisis and mass migration is making us poorer. We are also concerned about culture clashes which we are already starting to see. Canadians are kind and generous and we want up help others but we understand that if we destroy ourselves we won’t be able to help anyone ever again. \nDo NOT EVER label Canadians anti immigrant!! We are not anti immigrant but we are pro common sense.

Everybody is welcome in Canada, but i agree housing and jobs is an issue.

Canada is welcoming millions of immigrants from the world and send to USA??

Welcome to the United States of South America. The new normal.

I ❤️ NY! ??? What are neighbours for - Welcome to America! ??

I was born in Canada in the 80s. My parents are from India. So call me racist if it gets you off. My ass is browner than yours probably. \nMy parents, and my uncles and aunts who came here in the late 1970s had to work their asses off to prove they were worthy of even ENTERING Canada, let alone to live in the country. ALL of my older male relatives who came to Canada at that time had a PhD in a science related field or was a medical doctor. EVEN then, they had to go through years of re-training in Canadian schools in order to have a shot at PR. And they persevered and did it, and did well. \nNow, anyone and their dog is allowed in, and it's kind of an insult to all my relatives had to accomplish in order to build a life here. They had to earn doctorates and medical degrees TWICE (once in India and again in Canada).\nWell, that generation did well, and now we're the kids who are grateful and enjoying the sacrifice they put in. What will the kids of illiterate, minimum wage workers be like? Probably not so good.\nCanada's probably done. But does the average Canadian have any desire to do anything. Nope. They used to value hard work and ambition when I was growing up but Canadian culture has become lack of ambition, and entitlements just for existing. \nSo, at least I was raised with the idea of working to no end and sacrificing in order to accomplish something in life. Now, I have the resources to live where I like and do. Canada's just a place I visit now if I feel like it.\nThose of you who like to sit at Tim Horton's every weekend with your beer and weed every night complaining about how your employer should pay you more obesity privileges, enjoy being served by the migrants who WILL take over as you approach the counter in your government funded scooter. You all reaped what you sowed. Most Canadians WELCOMED socialism and their wish came true. Peace.

You can thank the dictator of Canada for this. Trudeau even lets terrorists in and has even said everyone is welcome to come to Canada. He's as bad as your so-called leader letting illegas in. We need them both out of office ASAP, they're ruining our countries.

As long as NYC is welcoming migrants, Canada is just a good Samaritan?

Welcome to Canada. I’ve been here since 1967 and by the time Jimmy Carter had my indictment dropped,”with prejudice “, I had dropped any thought of moving back.

America on brink of a recession but the dems want to chuck billions at non americans. All the blue states should be welcoming them with open arms.. reap what you sow new yorkers and blue states

This is going to create so many new jobs, we’re going to need to figure out how to determine better who is a refugee/asylum seeker/international student visa holders(who overstayed) to citizens. These people are all going home it’ll take a few years but they’re not welcome.

We need to welcome more migrants and refugees to the US!!! America is not a racist country and can welcome millions more !!!!!

Also a note on VISAS. Canadians dont need VISA's to fly to ALOT of countries. Were welcomed in far more countries than Americans. As such, we expect far less countries to have VISAs to get here in return. Ive travelled to Europe many times, no thought to getting a VISA. Hell, they barely look at my passport. White girl with a Canadian passport? Lol they just flop it open and stamp it and wave me thru. Also, were a member of the British Commonwealth, along with many other nations. As such, dont need a VISA. Holland and Canada are BFFs, you can have Dual Citizenship for both.

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 ,

welcome to Bidenistan!

As they say , ' Don't worry the Tax payers will foot the Bill', Sending money to other countries and taking care of everyone but their own? Welcome to the United States.

Welcome to the forever democrat sanctioned invasion.

Please, Cash. Fastest, easiest way to get out of the US to somewhere Americans are welcome or at least tolerated and where pensioners can afford to live?

Make them feel welcome, they're your new neighbours. All the best out there, new Americans.
