The U.S is soft now. The west spends so much time and effort trying to convince the world that they aren’t evil and they’re good guys that they’ve just become pushovers and an all inclusive resort for anyone to abuse and use. We forgot that we need respect or fear to survive. And right now the world doesn’t respect or fear you.

Wow, so sad. There are people in the U.S. with a lot of needs, too. It is good for the government to help others. but they should work inside and then extend the hands to others in need

My brother was murdered in a small town called Kenora in Ontario Canada by a bunch of Caucasian guys. The police told us they were good guys from good families and they closed the case saying my brother pushed himself out of the window. His case and many others never made the news. Unlike in the U.S., we don’t have the media and institutional power to enforce civil rights. A couple of years ago they unearthed about 7,000 native kids from residential school properties. They didn’t offer any investigations into it. They brushed that back under the rug saying it was sad, the end.

the U.S. pillaged their countries... what do you expect?

I would like to pray for my brothers and sisters in the u.s I could not imagine what it would be like living in u.s as a African American let alone where I am living in Canada ?

I wonder why? If you can't see the correlation between Trump's failed Coups attempts, his economic war with Venezuela, and the days leading up to the end of Title 42, the Border Patrol stopped 2,400 Venezuelans daily. Trump is directly responsible for them coming: Small list of US sanctions: \n-Citibank froze and closed bank accounts in 2017 \n-Citibank blocked the transfer of 300,000 doses of insulin \n-Euroclear stole 1.65 billion worth of funds that were the payment made for food and medicine \n-Citgo can't send profits home more than 10 billion \n-Wells Fargo canceled payment of 7 million from Brazil to Venezuela for electricity \n-Financial transaction 7 million dollars of dialysis blocked \n-Bank of England withholding 1.2 billion in gold \n-Banks won't lend Venezuela money to drill for oil or mine for gold. Yet they are rich in both. \nReport: U.S. Sanctions Have Killed 40,000 in Venezuela Since 2017. That was pre-pandemic. They have not returned to study the deaths he caused by blocking oil tankers, food, and medicine during a global pandemic.

Yes, of course Canada is better than the U.S., but keep it quiet, as Dalhousie (a world class u.) is here in Halifax. JMH

WOW ? y'all can hear that ws from over there??? I have a parent from Clarksdale Mississippi I have never lived in u.s the messed up things about this w.s in Canada is......... Canada has Charter of Rights which is surpost to protect brothers and sisters like me please do the research however the human rights commission say they can't do anything when we lose our jobs or career over it i have lots of horror stories from this place I can make a Block Buster movie ?

They aren’t following the rules now they’re not even in our country yet what makes the president or whatever think they will become upstanding in the u.s we have enough homeless that are not being helped this totally blows my mind Byron set out to sabotage our country on that he’s doing one hell of a job

Replace us Mexico border with Russia and Ukraine and it’s called an invasion. When it’s the U.S. border it’s an “attempted entry” this does not look peaceful.

United States will get messy, if U.S let those illegal immigrants come to U.S. Stop.....!! Them. Why U.S government do not take care of U.S citizens or homeless people??. ???

For the deconstruction of the U.S. ????????????

You're letting those illegal and undocumented migrants to get into the U.S. while those with legal applications were taking a hard time to get in.???

If only Natives would have predicted how hypocritical this nation would turn out..they should have taken the white babies and sold them like the U.S does now.

That's the importance of America's involvement in other countries. The places these people are fleeing is where the answer to this problem resides. Nothing and no one will stop people from trying to get to a better place, it's human nature. Mexico has everything to do with this which creates new avenues for long term changes that would demand their participation, failure to do so would have...consequences. After all, that's where they're coming from prior to crossing into the U.S. This can be corrected.

Who needs, Wildness into the U.S. ? This is another Invasion.And Massive With It...

Gang violence and govement corruption has destroyed central america , nobody wants to stay in those places anymore . sad part about it is that its happening in the U.S. as well so they aint going anywhere better . they shoulda just stayed where they were .

I love Mexico but unfortunately right now things are horrible here in the U.S we are in survival mode too.

GREAT JOB U.S. GOVERNMENT,,,, SUPERB JOB...now do what you do best, make Americans suffer and pay for YOUR incompetence that very much includes CONGRESS!!!!

NO other country tolerates this sh*t.. and when America goes under then these immigrants will degrade America and leave once they've drained AMERICAN resources... GREAT JOB U.S. GOVERNMENT, SUPERB.

I feel for the people suffering in their own countries that just want peace. But this, this is not going to help any country this is a mass takeover that will only end in the downfall of the U.S. ?

Why are we seeing this??? Because the U.S. government keeps giving billions of dollars to other countries while the U.S keeps going down the toilet ?

Why do y’all want to cross over to the U.S ? I’m so confused

We are seeing this because of Biden and his administration... we MUST SHUT DOWN THE OPEN BORDER!! If they stop giving these illegals free money, housing and medical this will likely stop!!\nDemocrats want as many illegals aliens as they can get into the U.S....they want them to vote...Dummiecrats have already began drafting legislation to give illegals the right to vote.\nHow are going to Vet these people...they can say they are from Venezuela but not proof...they just them in. WRONG!\nAren't U.S. CITIZENS tired of using our tax dollars to support illegals???

If anything it should be like that trying to get into Canada. The U.S. is played, been played know what I mean ? Too much TV

We are $33 trillion in debt and about to default. The U.S. is broke. Illegals cost us $160 BILLION per year. We pay more just in interest on our debt every year than our entire Defense budget. 57% of workers in our country paid no income tax last year. The top 40% pays for everything in our country. Not a single person in these comments is welcoming illegals into their home to live for free. GUARANTEED! It's so easy for you people to advocate spending other people's money.

We barely got homes and food for our own citizens how about the U.S go to their countries and help them instead of letting them come here when we don’t have enough resources for ourselves

why it isn't any better than in the U.S

SERVES YOU RIGHT! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SYMPATHY FOR THE U.S! IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME! Ha! ha!

Only of they used this same energy to better their own country!!!\nBut instead they want the free handouts given by the U.S because of people like Brandon and Giggles!!!

If Mexico is so great, why are these ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS trying to come here? \n\nY’all Mexicans talk so much ? about the U.S. & claim Mexico is so great, then why are y’all coming him in the masses.

Send they ass to the white house and all those who support this Shit. The U.S. has homeless Americans, the punk ass government won't help us but for some reason they can help everyone else.

The u.s. lets them in so they can pay them less money to do our jobs.

They will cause mass destruction to u.s idk why they letting this happened this why I didn't vote for tht crappy old president

New photos for the government in Mexico so why don't you vote them out and truly take your country back. It's not right for us the pay for your food your housing your insurance and whatever else that you need if you truly want to come to the u.s. do it the right way versus the wrong way it's not right for the American people.

I see as a terrorist attack. \nWhen you are not welcome legally and have attitudes like that you will be putting others in danger.\nYes, I do feel sorry for all of them. Their government is terrible. However, the U.S. can't accommodate everyone.

F*CK colonialism! This is Sick!! Why doesn't America stay the hell away from everywhere and stop creating conflict everywhere, with their 700 U.S. military bases around the world ! I'm not stupid...\nSomebody needs to stop European imperialism and capitalism..there needs to be a world revolution..

The law is the law in the U.S. NO exceptions!!

Even tho I don’t think this is correct, U.S people luckily finds themselves on a good position to see this just as people making a tantrum to enter the U.S, proudly I say I’m Mexican American and I’ve lived in Mexico and Brasil as well, non of those Latin American countries I lived is as bad as Venezuela and even like that I’ve seen some very messed up shit, they are countries with a huge culture and beautiful but on the lowest levels it’s a pretty dark place to be…so for the USA people here that is heavily throwing shit, be some kind of human try to understand at least , I get it, I don’t think this is the way neither, but they are not just people trying to invade to take over or whatever, I even saw a comment saying that they should shoot those Venezuelans, the world is a pretty messed up thing now, and luckily or unluckily we don’t really know a shit about it, they are DESPERATE it seem like they were violent and most probably some of them tried to get violent but most of them is just desperate people trying to have it better in their only and one only lives..worst yet, if you have a kid, imagine how worried would you feel for not being able to provide your kid with a good life… see the people in the front for example, they were people begging and crying, is being desperate for having something better, and this is a really biiiiiiig subject with a lot of issues, wrongs, misunderstanding… you don’t know how bad is going in Venezuela, not even me, but I can imagine it cuz I know how bad some people have it in Mexico, and they don’t know how them illegally getting into the US is going to affect the US, I try to get all points so I don’t think this is correct, this kind of events shouldn’t be happening, but I also understand, just to put it in perspective, I’ve talked with some people from Venezuela and they’ve told me some crazy stuff, quick example. McDonalds something most American people know …for one person only it can be around 15 - 20 bucks, in Venezuela, and I think minimum wage rn is around 6.15 bucks and if it’s good it can be around 20 - 30 A MONTH, now apply this formula to EVERYTHING, housing, bills, expenses and I think things in Venezuela for a little bit better not that long ago,so it was worst than what I just told you, imagine you finish college you have somehow of a decent life and for things you don’t understand and no one advise you of, next week your job, money is not even half of the value it had last week, imagine if it was you and your family, your kids…I don’t have kids but I know my mom would’ve done anything for trying and give me not even a luxurious life, but a kinda decent life, and I know most of people would’ve done the same, and not only for your kids, also your mom, dad, sisters, brothers and even YOURSELF…again, I’m not saying this is correct or it’s not I’m just saying at the end our surrounding make us do whatever we are doing….I get you not being okay with this, but try to be comprensible and not go straight into hate for this people. \n\nUnfortunately I wouldn’t imagine anything to solve this problem and I hope something better comes for the entire world right now …but I just doubt it…

OH GREAT!!! Tax increase for us US citizens to support these people who will depend on U.S. Social Services #welfare #cashaide #medical #housing

All of these points are subjective. I think the point system you used and the subjects you talked about are biased. I would have given the USA a point for innovation and job opportunity. There is more opportunities, because more companies choose the USA. We have a higher population so even thought there is more job opportunities in the USA, it is also very competitive. Your video gave a point to Canada for vacation and maternity leave rather than innovation and job opportunities. A lawyer in the USA has a better chance of practicing law than a Canadian lawyer. You gave a point to Canada for healthcare because of life expectancy. However I’d still give a point to the USA for healthcare. The life expectancy is a separate subject. The life expectancy is lower in the USA because of what we eat here. I would give a point to Canada for healthier food. In the USA fatty diet with sugary sweets is common here.\n\nThe video was really pros and cons for liberals. As an American, I could make a list that is biased towards the USA. It was a very informative video, I just think the irony of you talking about political bias while making a biased video was comical. I definitely don’t want to move to Canada after this?. If you are liberal in the USA and can handle the cold then Canada is sounds amazing. If you’re a liberal, but can’t handle the cold, the west coast of the U.S. might be a better option than Canada. \n\nI think all of those pros for Canada is because they are in Canada. It’s great that those things work for Canadians and so many immigrants into Canada!\n\nAlso, Canada can have 1000 points for personal hygiene. I can’t stand people not taking their shoes off in my house even though I have a sign on my door that says, “please take off your shoes”. I have OCD so I am biased on that subject ?.

Okay, I'm all for LEGAL immigration but THIS is unacceptable! Close the border until things like this are brought under control. The U.S. can't save everyone! Start helping the homeless in OUR country!

I dont know where they will live. U.S is not this great easy place to survive.

So you can be homeless right alongside a fast growing amount of U.S citizens??

They are disrespecting the border to the U.S. and they aren’t through yet, imagine how they will act once they’re in the U.S.??

Go Biden and Democrats!\nYou're phucking up the U.S. in no time!!!

I cross from Canada to do some shopping and maybe have dinner at a restaurant and I'm treated like I'm committing a crime by U.S border patrol and they let this happen on the southern border. I stopped going to the U.S years ago.

Mexico closed it borders no u.s immigrant will cross to mexican territory,

Close the border. Americans tax dollars shouldn't have to pay for refugees when they're struggling to get by themselves. People can't afford to go to college in the U.S., it's so expensive. Cost of living goes up all the time. I have multiple degrees and can't really find a job and when I do, they always want to pay very low and def much lower than they started your counterparts at. There's a ridiculous homeless issue in the U.S. where I've met plenty that apply for jobs all the time and do not get hired. They even ask random people if they can work for them just for food, literally just for food. There are people everywhere that take things for granted including the U.S. but that's not the issue here. There are U.S. leaders that steal your money in taxes and retirement funds then misuse the funds. How is it fair for a hard working individual to have 30% of their gross removed from there paycheck then still required to pay the government when filing income taxes. You can buy a house, pay it off and never own it. The government is your forever landlord because property taxes are always due and are increased whenever authorities want them increased. Every country has serious issues.

The U.S. isn't the only dot on the map. They all had plenty of nice countries, cities, and towns to stop in and 'seek asylum' along their journey.
