We need some amount of immigration. But most people are feeling the pinch in terms of cost of living and housing. So they've soured to the idea of more people right at a time when the government sharply increased the numbers of immigrants being admitted. Add a little right wing populism and you've got a recipe for pushback unfortunately.

If you ever feel like America is going to shit, people are still willing to do this to get here to get away from thier own country...

Feel sorry for white Canadians living in street, bridges, bushes! It is a disgrace!!! Not good!

I'M EXTREMELY HURT YET SUPER ANGRY BECAUSE I'M WAITING FOR MY HUSBAND'S VISA AND IT WILL BE 3 YRS THIS SEPTEMBER 8TH, SINCE MY HUSBAND'S VISA INTERVIEW WAS ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2021. WE'RE MARRIED OVER 6 YRS ALREADY. I HAVE TO PROVE THAT I CAN SUPPORT MY HUSBAND, SHOW MY TAXES, GO ABOVE THE FINANCIAL LIMIT, PAY MEDICAL EXAM, POLICE RECORDS, ALL THE LEGAL WAY. THEN IN THE OTHER HAND, I; AS A TAX PAYER, I'M PAYING FOR THESE ILLEGALS FOOD, SHELTER, MEDICAL, ETC. \nBEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN I FEEL LESS THAN A ROACH AND FEEL ABANDONED WITH MY RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED. SO MUCH INJUSTICE TO THE LEGALS VS. THE ILLEGALS. ??????????????????

I dont feel sorry at all for new york city, they wanted this they got em.

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.

Don't feel sorry for NY or any state the welcomes these 3rd country people

I have a feeling things are going to reach boiling point just like they have in the UK and legal migrants and their kids are going to get caught up in it with social cohesion going to shit. If the same thing happens here it will affect NY as a whole and taxpayers. Politicians really need to be booted out of office before that happens. We have so many failed migration policies in these European countries to learn from but we still repeat their mistakes anyway.

I don't feel sorry for this state anymore.

So I got stuck in nyc from Rome to San Diego due to the crowdstrike outage. saw people I served notice to appears on a random street in Times Square. I knew it was Colombians and the bike rack was the give away. It was in front of a sanctuary Row hotel. ???? I feel sorry for yall.

All these people should be sent to Jail for crossing the border illegally and breaking the law. We shouldn't show sympathies to these people who do not respect our laws. They are responsible for their own actions, no one asked them to do such a thing. If their families are dying from crossing the border then they are choosing to die. We don't work our ass off and pay taxes so our country can pay for these illegal immigrants. Feeling compassion for these people is like feeling compassion for blood sucking mosquitoes.

I feel so BLESSED that I do NOT live in n.y.c. *****

At this point I can't feel bad for them anymore... They voted for this! I live 45 mins north of the city. as long as it doesn't affect me here, then whatever.

Now you can feel, what european people are feeling.

If they got plane tickets, then they aren't poor, and they aren't asylum seekers, they are criminals and prove that by breaking the border laws, yep, it's illegal and they know it because that's why they are going up there to cross, so they all.... Every single one knows they are entering into a country with laws that say it's illegal to just come into the US, so what's that say about there character of person, they can't be trusted that's what it says, they aren't in need, and they feel privileged to take from the government so of course they will vote for the Democrats

This is BS! We need to lock the borders and take care of our own people first. I feel for them. I really, really do. I would try too if I were in their situation. We can't afford it.

The Palestinians gave their rights to Hamas. Hamas fooled them, now they have to suffer, by their own decisions. \nI do not feel pity for them. They hat their shot, they f‘ed up.

I do not feel sorry the NY citizens, because they got what they voted for!

New York will still vote HER (Kamala). I don’t feel sorry when you get what you vote for. \nRemember, SHE said “the border is secure”

I feel these illegals are running into a burning house. The United States WILL collapse. It's not if, but when.

The first batch of demons got to use black people for wealth and pleasure and to build the country and now their letting foreigners that want a go at it get their feel for whatevers salvageable and finish it off..all foreign business owners in America got rich off of black money.

Feels just like Italy, if not even worse somehow

Nothing will change until the day people are ready to rise up, but I feel like that will only happen long after this country is destroyed.

I feel like they are doing this on purpose because they owe these ppl something. Also, they do not care about the American ppl because they are giving them so many benefits. Take a look at the jobs on indeed. The majority of them want you to speak Spanish especially here in California…..

Dems plan to add phantom votes to defeat Republicans. How do you feel about more crime, jobs being taken by illegal immigrants, gifting $$ to illegal immigrants, drugs etc.

Now I understand how the Québécois feel

The worst part is that these blue-haired broken hearted liberals after ruining their own state are moving to red states where they feel safer and yet still voting blue! ?

So they are just blatantly entering America ignoring and not caring for our laws and customs because they want to or feel they have a right to be here. This is what makes me less accepting of them more and more. This shows why Democrats should never be in power again.

Does anyone here feel sorry for New York…sanctuary city, mayor, governor, president…you voted for all of it.

I feel bad for migrants that need help, but its also not the responsibility of the citizens of this country who are already hurting because of the crappy policies of politicians that don’t give a fuck about us.

As a Canadian, I feel it incumbent on me to say one thing on behalf of my country. I'm sorry.

Unfortunately I feel like i have to start by stating that I’m not a racist. I enjoy the flavors of culture throughout the world. But, and there’s always a but, I don’t like feeling like an outsider in the community I was born and raised in. Also, every time a movie ends on Amazon Prime, the next movie is always a Bollywood movie. F me.

The America most of us have known, defended and loved can't be saved. It's doomed. The liberal rot has infected the brains of millions of American citizens and turned them into fairy dust believers who just want to feel good emotionally for the moment and can't comprehend the immigration rule of law was created to vet incomers just like the do gooders would do in their own houses.

as a NYer that lives in the suburbs, i say let them come so that NYers in the city will learn wtf they voted for, they have not suffered enough! only till they hit rock bottom do they realize they fked up for allowing these kinds of policies in the first place. good intentions of idealism doesn't solve reality problems and that's a lesson NY democrats need to learn by firsthand experience.\n\nFYI in case anyone thinking I can say what I say because none of this effects me, you are sadly mistaken. I too like many in the suburbs are effected either by prices or by crime albeit we aren't at ground zero like most of you democrats in the city so we don't feel the full effect but they're creeping into our areas too; don't be mad at what I'm saying, I'm only being real with you as opposed to your other democratic friends who bs you into voting along with their line of thinking.

I have a hard time feeling bad for people who are breaking into our country that's like someone breaking into my house I feel bad that they're cold while they're doing it

Utter insanity, yes I feel for the less fortunate regardless from where they come from but to surrender your own country, destroying your own standard of living is ridiculous. Multiculturalism seems a big lie and focusing on our differences as those with a voice seem determined to continue is sure to end horribly

All of the world is laughing at New York City as they come in waves of buses as migrants. How does it feel, New Yorker, to be the butt end of the joke of migrants? What's worse, the Democrat officials whom you voted for, Democrat voter, are laughing at you as well, when they tax you of all you're worth, and make life so much more unlivable for you in New York City. This is what you voted for. You're welcome. Keep voting Democrat ?

OK NY how do you feel about your DEMOCRATS NOW !!!!\nVote every INCOMPETENT and CORRUPT DEMOCRAT Out of Office !!!!!!

OK NY how do you feel about your DEMOCRATS NOW !!!!\nVote every INCOMPETENT and CORRUPT DEMOCRAT Out of Office !!!!!!

west is forcing a developing country like india to accommodate millions of bangladeshi & rohingyas. I understand what canadians are feeling

Welcome to Canada, sorry we have no place for you to live and if you thought Quebec was a good choice , HA! Not only are you no longer Canadian, your family has to speak french so that the Quebecois retain their Identity. This country is so messed up . I feel for our next prime minister Mr Poilievre what a mess to deal with.

Now you how the Palestinians feel

Markham, vaughan both are totally captured by other asian communities why you don’t go there to see what they do with these cities they just throw tim hortons cups, cold drinks cans near the side walks the sidewalk always feels like trash just go there and record it to the are also in majority in those cities barely see any white people why you don’t speak about them why you only target us and I also agree with you some 4-5 percent people of my community are idiots and do shitty stupid things but aslo made vides on asian to if you say we Punjabis are in majority in the city of Brampton so what we are majority in only one city but other asians are in majority in vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, north york so why you only target us for some stupid people, moreover i saw a white women peeing near a bus stop in Toronto in a broad daylight so this mean all white peoples are those type in downtown Toronto even they stole bikes they are drug addicted and majority of them are white homeles so this does not mean that all white people are if this kind also addiction doesn’t have any link with immigration they are not brown or black people they are white so please stop racism against brown people we are not the only one here .

Thats just how about 30 million British people feel. Nice to see someone have the guts to say it in public.

US is the same. Crazy inflation, rents to the roof. I left and went to live in Vietnam. Feel much better here: $180 rent, $200 food, $50 bike fuel.

This is the general feeling in every country

Well as for my experience, I don't even think the education system of this so called developed countries is that great. Like take for my example, I am currently undertaking MSc Biotechnology degree from University of Glasgow in UK, which is considered to be under Top 100 universities in the world by many ranking agency. My academic experience in this university was not at all good, the theoretical lectures were pretty average, the laboratory work was very repetitive, just doing the same thing over and over again, they didn't even teach us how to operate even one complex instrument, it feels like we are a cash cow for this big universities. I highly suggest if anyone is thinking of pursuing a bachelors or master's degree from such countries don't do it. Save your money. Yes, but if you are planning to pursue a PhD then you are most welcome, but only do PhD when you've had a fully funded scholarship+ stipend.

I feel so bad for the children...

Indian government should feel guilty to unable to provide a proper facilities, education and environment for their people.

These white agenda pushing elites seem to think they can just suggest an agenda and everyone else will be mesmerised by their 'logic'. This reporter makes me feel ill with her assumed superiority
