When the reality is there's more than enough to go around - enough resources for citizens, legal residents and additional immigrant influx - new faces are welcomed by all. \n\nWhen the _perception_ is that there's enough to go around but the reality doesn't reflect this, mostly conservative and certain liberal types start raising question, doubts and concerns. \n\nWhen the reality is that resources and infrastructure are strained, along with unrestrained ever rising COL, everyone regardless of political alignment starts raising questions doubts and concerns regarding the feasibility of such policies. \n\nIt isn't necessarily against those immigrating as long as they're earnest but rather, having to do with budgets and budget cut allocations seemingly favoring others when the priority is usually one's own initially. \n\nTl;dr : It's money. No other way to slice it when examined analytically. The economy, national debt, budget and budget cut allocations.

To go against the grain. Shows a true stud. And these infiltrators of America have no standing. Ever in this country.

Germany has enough. How many are enough? There will be no fucking end to this ever. It will only create chaos and ruin wuripw too.

Never ever vote for the Conservatives, PP is just Canada’s trump. Ontario conservative government basically shut down the protection of all rentals allowing the landlords to charge whatever they want….!

What ever happened to good ol fashioned revolutions? I'll support these people building their nations up before I'll support them coming here illegally.

You called Russia and UKRAIN an INVASION and we have funded that ever since so what do you call THIS and how long do we have to fund this

Have Canadians ever considered that building more middle density housing and not caring about property values would fix most of this?

Ever since Trudeau opened up the borders making it very laxed for these 3rd world countries to enter Canada has become a dark hole.. 70s,80s,90s when it was difficult to enter the country strick border protection to protect us has gone down the drain. I wish it went back to the Era where CBSA use to enter factories or any work place and asked for citizenship if they deported. I’m a man of colour young and I notice the change in my native land.. it needs to go back to the way it once was… Make Canada Great Again

I been living in el pasonfor 8 years now. And when I first moved here I barely ever seen vagrants or homeless people. During covid it was a ghost town downtown. And now you drive down town it's 100 homeless illegals on every single corner and 40 in between the central park down town can't even see the grass cause so many illegals are camped out shitting on the street and in the bushes. Crime shot up by 300% in just 14 months. It's about to get wild here in the states because millions more illegals are on the way as I typed this

It's bizzare how people think of housing as a right like water. Have they ever done the work of building a house? Could they? It's quite the ask of other people to call it your right.

I arrived in 2012 originally from Australia. I’m now a citizen and I learned a trade here too. I’m on a decent wage and I can’t keep up and can’t imagine I’ll ever own my own home here. We’re not against immigration but it needs to be slowed dramatically by about 90% for a few years. I’m being forced back to Australia to seek financial help from my family to hopefully purchase a property back there. The Canadian dream is dead and there’s also to many Indians here.

Let's be clear here, it started many years ago when Harper was in charge. The Conservative Government lured educated foreigners to Canada with the promise of great, high paying jobs, and once they got here, once they left EVERYTHING, including their families behind, were told they would have to go back to school in order to be certified. It's a con, the government is a con. The Conservatives, the Liberals, the NDP, the system currently in place...is nothing more than a con.\nAll politicians are liars, all governmental systems are corrupt and nothing will ever change until We The People, take their power away, destroy the current system and rebuild. It is the people who put these politicians in power, yet they do nothing for the people. \nDestroy the system...it does not nor ever has worked. Take the power back.

I am an immigrant myself and could not agree more with it. The government is bringing in people blindly at the cost of jacking up prices to unbelievable levels for shelter, food and so on. Jobs are taken away from locals and has been handed over to new immigrants, our students are struggling to find jobs. Crime is on the rise . It almost seems like the they gave up the immigration vetting system and are bringing in people without due delegence. This is NOT the Canada I came to more than a decade ago. It has changed and continues to change for worse unfortunately. My vote is never going to a liberal ever again. They failed this country big time

What are all these immigrants expected to work at? Where are the new steel mills and coal mines and auto plants employing hundreds of thousands of people? Oh wait there arent any. There isnt a new industrial revolution around the corner, if anything AI could mean there might be less jobs then ever. It is a shitshow on so many levels

This is disgusting to listen to. No country on Earth wants millions of immigrants flooding in getting welfare to the moon and being a statistic of crime cause by these immigrants. No one wants that. What makes anyone think they do? They are all going to get to vote. Just watch. They just crossed our border, got welfare better than citizens, and will get to vote. Whoever is doing this to Europe and the USA should be in jail or dealt with per the constitution for treason. Unfortunately the swamp is too much. We have too much corruption in our governments. Time to start realizing this and we are going to have to make a change because protesting and trying to vote isn't cutting it when they rigg things against you and demonize you for not being okay with this garbage they are shoving down your throat.\nAt no point has anyone in my family filled out a green card or visa. I have no idea what it is like to be an immigrant. I can't get that perspective because I have never been one and neither has anyone in my family. But coming from my perspective this is some BS. Coming from someone who didn't have to get a work visa or apply for citizenship ever, this all seems like some BS. There wasn't this kind of migration going on when I was growing up. Where did it come from? Why is it happening now of all times? What are these people being told? Wtf is going on because a born, bred, and raised citizen is highly confused, offended, angry, and fed up.

One of the other major decline of economy is no one wants to do business because of tax who ever has capital invest in property.

Have the people that are fleeing these terrible conditions in their own countries ever considered fixing the problems in their own country instead of abandoning their countries and bringing their problems here?

For people who complain about Canada and wanna move back think twice, thrice and n more number of times.\nLife is expensive here and it's cheap nowhere. Taxes are high but the benefits are worth it. In my country, I gave up 30% of my salary purely for my children's school and bus fare, which is torally free of cost here.\n\nI was well versed with my local language and had a specialist dentist degree but still no job, whereas here even a mere DDS (undergraduate dentist) with poor English mints money.\n\nWhen i was jobless this country bore with me 70% of my family's total expenditure thru benefits and schooled plus comfortably yet freely transported my child which none of our home countries ever did (even Govt schools in my country charge a minimal fee and pupils' standard is deplorable).\nSo, yes, Canada is not a bed of roses to start with, but we never came from a bed of roses ?\n\nAnd one final note to people praising the US - ATLEAST I CAN VISIT A SHOPPING MALL IN CANADA AT PEACE THAT I WONT BE SHOT AT ?

Ethan your ancestors were once immigrants too, don’t ever ?forget that ???‍♀️????

Canada ?? just isn’t cool any more. Will the ? Leafs ever win a cup again ?????

The woman talking about public housing programs has no idea whats going on. There are a million various immigrants a year coming in through all the various programs. There is no public housing program that could handle that. a decade of output from a housing program wouldn't handle a single year of this immigration. The private sector building housing is the only way to proceed, but immigration is too high to ever catch up.

And now Mexico is more expensive than ever simply because many Canadians and US citizens are packing up and moving there permanently. Politics and Immigration have killed Canada and US, unfortunately it will NEVER go back to the way it was. This is due to one reason and reason only. A poor government.

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.

Why doesn't mexico do anything about this has anyone ever asked this question? Why does it seem like mexico is fine with this they almost seem like they want this

Can’t wait till we are just like South America going to be fun. All the crime, cleanliness law and order. Thank you to all the people who voted this way it’s going to be so much fun. Can people vote instead of not liking a person can you look at what they are trying to do. I would think closed borders would be #1 with anyone with a brain? Or just because you hate the way someone talks let’s destroy the country instead sounds like a plan sign me up can’t wait to be dodging these bullets soon. I think the only way to ever solve this is there are so many states. Can we just have some states for Republicans some states for Democrats you live the way you wanna live we live the way we want to live point blank. The problem is trying to blend things that are not meant to blend. I want Lauren order. I want people who follow the law. I don’t want a lot of music. I don’t want trash on the streets. I’m 50 now when I was 20 I may have thought differently. I worked hard. I moved out of the Bronx to a nice neighborhood and it’s still nice but our corner of nice in New York is getting smaller and smaller. And I laughed when these people, even in these nice towns who vote not realizing the consequences.

when is this ever going to end. people vote all red, the same thing is happening in England .

Do you in NYC know why people are invading your city? Recently a New Yorker did a TikTok & screen shot an illegals receipt that showed she was given 13,000 in food stamps & 5,000 cash as an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT! This should piss off every American taxpayer! So, Cash, its not just your shelter system they are exploiting, its other things they are getting while AMERICANS SUFFER! Here is my message to New Yorkers. If you ever want your city to return to any semblence of normality, Trump needs to win our presidential election. Kamala is a communist that believe we should take in everyone & that U.S. taxpayers should support them. You dont have to believe me, just do your own research as the main stream media isnt going to tell you the truth. You can bet that leftist communists are also getting kickbacks. If you believe our border is secure, come on now, are you that gaslit? If we dont kick Kamala out of DC, America & Americans are toast

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...

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

Are you ever going back to Real Estate content??

Oh my GOD! What The Fu*k is going on? Trump we really need you now more then ever? i used to work for you at Trump National Doral in Miami. Please Fix this? you are the only one that can in GOD's name?Amen?

The Zionist Arab & Muslim countries remain funding and aiding the World's Mafia Cartel Israhell & Allies ! \nWhich makes us more stronger than ever in our SUPPORT and COMMITMENT, for the independence of Palestine and all OCCUPIED PEOPLE, especially civilians and the voiceless globally!

Muslim nations don't want Palestinians ever. They don't like them.

I traveled to US and I think they r the nicest people,, most of um ,,,but their is few who think they r doing some kind of community service on the name of harrasing innocent people by stalking everywhere ,,,that's what I personally seen happening with someone ,,,it was shocking ,,,but Americans know who they r or their shit they do and they do laugh ontheir creep they do ,,,but just 0.1 of their population,,,and yeah they r dented painted allover ????? but it was Hitlers tactic those people using to Harras minorities,,, but hard working and genuine American would be the nicest person you ever seen ,,,that's my 2 months observation what I Saw

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?

America and Canada have shared a border for hundreds of years but to say Canada is not a enemy to the us when did Canada ever renounce its England never. So from the beginning of the American revolution Canada has been under English _ England's\n authority remember

has newyork ever had anyone live there who is not a migrant?

All of this brought to you by the DNC - the greatest threat the United States has ever faced.

You know, in the past I saw articles about how apprehensions at the Southern border were down. They're not, the illegals go to the areas along the border that aren't heavily guarded, this is still heavy. If it's only been coming from the north in recent months, the numbers aren't the same. We're screwed either way.\n\nWe need the Trump man more than ever.

Biden and Kamala Harris run this country very bad ever since…………??? wake up people wake up before too late.?

Biden is the leader of the human trafficking cartel. He ordered them to come in which ever way they can. And they are here. NYC mayor won the mayoral race campaigning on providing the illegals with shelter and goodies.

Quit thinking of the US as my country a decade ago. I'm Southern Appalachistani now. We're going to have the dumbest societal end ever cus it'd be too mean to be a serious nation. \n\nHopefully we'll balkanize before too much longer.

Offer them everything they ever they dreamed of and you wonder why theyre coming here?

Who ever said those were real new Yorkers just a island full of anker babies and in less then 5 years it will be millions more just like them all..

Crazy how some states here and all of Britain is sharing this problem all at the same time. Genuinely doesnt seem like its ever slowing down.

Donald J Trump would not ever allow this BS ? this is a major security breach to our nation WTF ?

Yeah, no kidding. I live minutes away from the Canadian border in NY, almost in between two international bridges. I've personally seen bus loads of illegal aliens at our Wal-Marts, laundry mats, and grocery stores. We have a reservation on our border which is in both the US and Canada and that's been a smuggling hub for ever. We also have a stretch of land border, that is alot of farm land and is wide open.

Why are people so upset about it? I personally don't see the problem. It's not like our government has ever cared about anything or anyone, only dollars and free, or close to free, labor.

United States citizens cannot find housing and they allowed us to keep going on and on cuz why why you look stupid Kamala I have not heard horse face lately but it made me laugh even though I can't stand Trump what did she ever do for me I'm going to be homeless

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.
