I feel bad for them… if was Mexican I’d just take a boat to one of Puerto Rico’s islands… at night no lights… all you need to know is where you are and have a compass.

Thank the Democrats for letting this happen. We cannot support the people we have now so how are these people going to get the help they need? I guess these liberal cities can keep taking them in since it's their policies letting it happen. I guess if these cities get tired of footing the bill maybe they will stand up and say something to their leaders and tell them enough is enough. They don't want the wall they don't want to give the ice agents and border patrol the help they need and they keep blaming Americans for their stupid policies but they sure will bring in hundreds of IRS agents to take your money and arrest you if they don't think you're paying what they deem acceptable. I think most Americans are sick of this administration and want it gone. Their giving more rights to illegals and other countries than the people who live here. This administration is going after the rights and freedoms of all Americans and trying to turn the Constitution into some old document that doesn't have any relevance in today's world. They're pushing more and more communistic laws through our government to strip Americans of their rights. People need to wake up and see that this administration doesn't give a damn about you or this country.

Yelp UNITED STATES ?? NEEDS TAKE OVER MEXICO ?? & GET ALL THIER CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OUT !!! THIS WAY THEY GET THIER LAND BACK ...WILL JUST HAFE BABYSIT MEXICO ONCE WE TAKE IT OVER . ...IMEAN YOU KNOW WE HAVE \n?POWER DO IT¡¡¡ SO YEAH THATS MY SUGGESTING ¿¿¿???

As a citizen, I am very tired, and seeing those central Americans, South Americans, Haitians, Cubans, Europeans, Asians, and Middle Easterns come to Mexico to USA. There is no way to get in the US/Canada because you need to have legitimate valid papers. Especially to Central Americans and Venezuelans, they need to follow the laws. My parents came to the USA more than 50 years ago, and with proper documents. And for people who believe and blame Mexicans for taking their jobs. Don't! I know some do not have the legal papers, BUT blame the ones who don't follow the laws!!!!

This country seemed like a paradise when I was growing up, our family had a doctor, we could get healthcare access quickly, my parents bought a beautiful home for cheap, and my dad started a successful company, while my mom was able to stay home and raise us.\n\nThese days both partners need to relentlessly work to even afford a place where raising a family is extremely difficult, healthcare treatment takes hours of waiting, and costs of basic services are through the roof. In BC we have only 1 government-run car insurance corporation, and they charge me $500 a month for my work vehicle, despite me having a nearly clean record.

They need to pull these people to the side & take them in a room & show them how horrible the us is doing right now, hell you got to places like California & new york even chicago where i am homelessness is a everyday thing, people here are barely scraping by they need to start banding together to fight against the government tierney & the drug cartels making life hard for them in their own countries instead of trying to ram their way into the us & over crowd us.

Sad reality we don't have enough space in America y'all need to do this to your government take your country back

They will have many children and use the welfare system to grow in the US. \n\nThe amount of disrespect they display here and demands needs to be done in their country to fight back. \n\nUS needs to help us first before they spend funds they take from the us to give to others.

It's too many people coming into the United States. Highly overcrowded. The US needs to start taking care of their own citizens first. There's homeless Americans right here that are citizens, there are hungry people right here in the US that are American citizens. They need to start helping their own first. These Americans should not be without anything. And then United States is quick to help other states before they help they own. It's really a shame. And half the people that come here from other countries don't even like Americans. There shouldn't be not one homeless American citizen in America. The country has billions and billions of dollars and they should be able to house their own citizens.

USA needs to stop stilling everything from South America and North like Mexico if USA stop taking from other and making problems with other government countries no body needs to emigrate is that sample

I'm first a mom,wife,grandmother and a lover of the human race.\nWe Americans have got to get some kind of immigration reform asap. The Democrat's control everything why didn't they get some kind of bill on the table. Other countries have immigration laws, I do agree we need to first take care of the ones who's been here for 20 years and 10 years the one's with good working efforts and no criminal record pay there taxes every year and get no help from the GOVERNMENT like foodstamps,wic,public housing and free medical insurance. This should be the standard for all Americans. Maybe we should close our borders for everyone for the next ten years until we take care of the ones that are here now. Other countries please take care of your own citizens do better and maybe some day the tables will change around. We Americans will be trying to come to you're country. Americans we can do this if we put the right people in the WHITE HOUSE. PS CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE TERM LIMITS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE CAN'T KEEP BEATING THE SAME DEAD HORSE.

Biden needs to close the borders now and stop them. We can't take care of ourselves over why do they want to be here??.

Venezuelans had a good country at one point and when other countries in South America wanted to go to their country looking for a better life they spit on everybody’s face thinking they where the best out there, and I’m not saying they deserved but it is very ironic that after not helping now they need help life takes many turns never look down on anyone because one day it could be you?

Joe needs to step it up, this unacceptable. The u.s.a. just needs to secure the borders now! Just because our countries touch each other doesn't mean we should have to take all these people because their country is not doing what it's supposed to.

Mexico needs to take care of their people.

They need to man up and take their country nack,, the U.S. can’t feed and house the world,, wake up people

DONT LET 6HEM IN!!! WE HAVE NO RESOURSES FOR THEM...ITS TOO MANY DAMN F PEOPLE... WE NEED THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD DOWN THERE!!! WE ARE BEING INVADED!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT WORTHY TO ENTER OUT COUNTRY!!! WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO BE PLACED!!!??? WE ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF...TAKE CARE OUR OWN!!! DONT LET THESE FREE - LOADERS IN !!!!

It's unconscionable that we've invited people to come to Canada without actually following through on the promise we made to them in the first place. Was it all just sloganeering designed to appeal to liberal progressive NIMBYers? Was there ever any intent on actually doing something for these poor people beyond a sound bite or photo op? \n\nThe solution to migration because of war, terror, famine and so on is not by opening up the borders and allowing everyone in, the solution to mass migrations (over 100 million worldwide) is to tackle the conditions that make such migrations necessary. Almost without exception, each one of these migrant/refugee situations are the result of political problems that have to be tackled in those countries where the conditions exist. There are over 100 million people fleeing conditions that make life unbearable, even if we wanted to, how are we to take them all into North America? How does anyone propose we do that, and even if we could manage it somehow, another 100 million would show up on our doorstep next year...or next week...it's simply not possible or reasonable to expect us to be overwhelmed by wave after wave of the poor unfortunate. The solutions to war and famine abroad can't be found here and we need to make it plain that people who live in such conditions must first rise up to help themselves. We can and should help, politically, through foreign aid and individual donations (North Americans are among the most generous donators after all), and even militarily where feasible or possible. The UN and other coalitions of nations, must each take up the burdens before people smugglers take it up for them. We have our own problems to deal with here and I'm not willing to vote for promises made that were never meant to be kept.

They need to use this passion to take back their own country

we need to put U.S. Citizens first before we aid anybody we are not doing well as a country to just be able to take on more people who aren't legal.

As a Canadian I find this utterly terrible. These migrants will either add to the chaos of the mass housing crisis, crime and antisocial behaviour Stateside which will ultimately spill onto Canadian borders. We just shut down Roxham road a few weeks ago yet these ILLEGAL ALIANS KEEP CLIMBING ACROSS CANADA US BORDER. CANADIANS AND AMERICANS NEED TO UNITE TO KICK THESE MIGRANTS BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM. WE DONT HAVE HOUSING OR THE SOCIAL ASSISTANCE THEY REQUIRE AND WE DO NOT WANT THEM AS ILLEGALS. IF THEY WANT ENTRY APPLY LIKE NORMAL HUMANS AND STOP ACTING LIKE RATS. IM TIRED OF THESE REFUGEES COMING INTO CANADA TAKING UP ALL MY TAX MONEY YET I, A CANADIAN BORN WHOS FAMILY IMMIGRATED PROPERLY INTO THIS COUNTRY IN THE 1940 HAS TO SUFFER AND TAKE HOME LESS THAN HALF OUR PAY CAUSE TAXES EAT THE REST THAT GO TO THESE IDIOTIC MIGRANTS. I HATE THEM.

Some of your points are great - some are regional - housing issues are definitely a problem in some cities - Toronto and Vancouver are ridiculous- Calgary at the moment has tight inventory- landlord issues really depend on where you live. Taxes are due April 30th not the 1st. It can be difficult to get hired in your trained profession as an immigrant for the reasons you’ve shared. Our company consists of about 80 percent new immigrants, but we need people with Canadian work experience on their resume. It is costly training - and firing is something we DON’T want to do. So we need good references to hopefully avoid that issue. You were very fortunate to get a Dr so quickly. Again the specialist referral issue truly is more about your Dr than the system. A lousy Dr won’t refer patients because they don’t have the contacts. It’s more complicated than you’ve shared. I have had no problems with referrals because I’ve had good Drs. New Drs will have a harder time and unfortunately those are the ones taking new patients- hopefully those issues change as they get established.

We really needed president Trump, not to have been cheated out of office. None of this would be taking place!!! \nTrump/DeSantis 2024\nDeSantis 2028&2032

I am not going to welcome them. We need to raise taxes on congress and President to take care of them

No we can tell you what happened with member that basketball that they nicely they did it was their marketing guy then the next thing they know they got hit over the floods hurricanes and earthquakes and stuff. Yeah see when you go around marking identity a god guess what you brought that on yourself period you getting high but statue of God looking over your whole country and then you sit up there and mark them send it you gonna start wishing it doesn't and this what God took his words very seriously period now wipe it to all those people they start pushing up now everybody want to start coming through. I have no issues with Venezuela. But at some point you have to be able to rise up and guess whatever tyranny your government is doing. But due to the United States and Venezuela have a history. And we have caused some some other time damages that's done in Venezuela. If you need to assist not take over where the people is more comfortable notice I said the people not the government cuz we shouldn't be taking over the government what happened to people people the people themselves can re-establish the government how they wanted to be what best fit them

Our Homeless and Veterans displacement is out of control you keep moving them kicking out of places then they set up some place else you do nothing for the it’s our own citizens that are doing Gods work Feeding them Trying to get them what they need out of their own Pockets and Donations it’s not the Government taking care of them they don’t even give them Vouchers to get a motel room so they could take a shower sleep in peace in a real bed come on get it together

It's an invasion PERIOD! Treat it like what it is! Break out the spice and flash bangs. If they continue to push take the kid gloves off and whatever it takes to stop them. They want to fight to get joeys freebies but they will not fight to change their own country. Gee I wonder why? Cowards looking for a free ride on our dime. We had to know this was going to happen. Shut that crossing down and use whatever force you need to stop this insanity. No doubt whatsoever whos fault this is and it's not 45s.

Y’all need better borders that’s messed up. The economy can’t take these freeloaders like go home and fight. We pay out the ass to live in a “free” country. Just come here with nothing and expect everything like it’s not the 1930s eat shit go home.

We should not be responsible for the placement of migrants. This is ridiculous. We should not be helping Ukraine in the form of providing money & weapons. We should not be accepting any migrants into our country. We should not be helping Haiti and we should not be taking in Afghan refugees. As born Americans we can barely feed, clothe & shelter our own families. The US needs to stop making it our responsibility to take on the responsibilities of other countries. We have become a dumping ground of the world’s problems

While I sympathize towards those who really need help, there will come a point where Canada can't just take in all these people. The system will be overwhelmed and there might be negative changes in the country with too much people... if we do take in all these people, there has to be really good support for them so they can assimilate into the Canadian culture and work better lives so they won't be a burden...

They need to organize like this and take their own country back, forget biden! This is wayyy to out of control, i say Texans take up your arms and control the border yourselves the government obviously does not care at all.

When TRUMP was in office he was saying that WE NEEDED TO STOP TAKING PEOPLE IN, AND STOP HIRING PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A GREEN CARD, BECAUSE WHEN THEY COME THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS GET ON WELFARE AND HOUSING, THEN ON SOCIAL SECURITY, BUT PEOPLE WASN'T LISTENING. NOW LOOK. TRUMP WAS FINING COUNTRY THAT SEND UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE HERE AND FINING COMPANIES FOR HIRING THEM. TRUMP MADE A LOT OF SENSE BEHIND THE SCENES.

It’s not fair for people who are immigrating under skilled worker track. It takes months or years to get all the required qualifications, paperworks and verifications to get to Canada. Some people will just need to walk in.

Lock it hem all OUT! We have bough here already. And it’s taking programs & founding foe we the Americans! Enough is enough now! This administration needs to worry about this Country & it’s citizens already!!! ???. Trump was right about building that wall!!! Look at what’s happening!! ?Get out & go back to your own Country. ??BYE-BYE

We got our own problems we can't just let them in... So many veterans and homeless people in our streets we need to take care of Americans first.

As housing cost continues to rise where do liberals think all these people are supposed to go why do they always want to come here and take ours and we let them mabye they should build up there own country as Americans we seriously need to worry about ourselves for a while this level of exploitation is totally unacceptable

Take care of Americans first we need help to Trump started this sht putting them in cages America first leave them with Abbott

Hello do i need to take both french and English test for express entry?

All Venezuelans ?? need to go back and have their president take care of them!

This-is thanks to that idiot in the White House he started all this by opening up the border we don’t need anymore people in our country they can’t take care of the Americans people let a-loan immigrants crashing the border we need trump back in office ASAP

The sad thing is they also take their kids the little girls who are sometimes 10 years old or 8 years old they was pimp the mother and they will auction off the virgin daughter very scary information hopefully somebody there's a video and it documentary and posted online because we need to bring awareness to this sad reality

This is ashame we don't have housing for our own natives food is low here and our homeless population is off the charts. These people need to be returned to there Country. This will take our jobs our Food Stamps and put more strain's on our housing. Sad??

They're all trying to leave their countries that have been taken by Communism but what they don't realize is America is fighting against Communism too. People need to start blaming the people behind this like Klaus Shwabb and Bill Gates, the Waltons of Walmart, the list goes on and on. We need to take down the World Economic Forum!

Now we need Trudeau to get rid of all the illegal entry people being housed and paid by Canadian citizen tax dollars. Stop providing hotel accommodations for people that entered Canada illegally. Take them to a legal border crossing,and process them like anyone else. Trudeau should be arrested and charged, for assisting illegal entry into Canada, and for providing assistance to illegals in the country.

This is just becoming unsustainable. And the idea these migrants have that they have a right to come here is BS. Hey you passed through how many countries to get here? There is a rule that says you have to stop at the first country that’s safe. Not hey I get to choose where I get to go. Biden has created this problem he needs to take responsibility for it.

I agree with some of your views on Canadian immigration. You mentioned a PR timeline of up to 1 year. That’s what it says in the application process but in reality isn’t always the case. It usually takes much longer esp. if your case file is unique or complex. In order to manage people’s expectations. There’ve been cases where applicants in the express entry process had been in it for over 3 year before receiving their confirmation of permanent residency. It can be a roller coaster journey that you need to be prepared for mentally.

What gives them the right that they can just enter the country?? They need to fight for their rights in there own country we have americans and veterans at that in the streets homeless we need to take care of our own people first.

Need to take they ass back home

I feel sorry for them,but this isn't fair to legal citzens of USA we already have our streets full of homeless peoples; we need to take care of our own first! Americans and America have enough troubles going on right now in the America...we do not need to add to it!

All these people need to reorganize and put effort into making their own country better and taking it back
