Even in Africa they mean, but use the wealth gap as an excuse as to why like that and only talk to rich Black people like humans.

Venezuela has no excuses they had the most oil then any other country in the world they could have been filthy rich country and they completely fked it up with their socialist government.

everyone dont want this people but when rich people get work done on there house this the people they looking for the cheapest price quote possible

Why don’t they protest their own country this will kill our economy. This won’t affect rich politicians in there gated communities ?

Democrat liberal policies running the border.. \nWait till the IRS start’s auditing the middle class to collect the taxes to pay for this.. IRS will not go after the rich because they have lawyers, the low income families do not have the money, so the middle class will be the IRS’s target. We have homes to maintain and families to care for.\nBe prepared because Democrats are going to collect for this..

Too bad we think rich people are more important than everyone else.

The biggest problem is Americans TV shows and politicians only show the fake side of America ( everyone live in a big house) and promote to the world that if you come to America, you will be rich.\nThe government needs to help American people first, before get involved other countries business and pretend to be the big brother, keep sending the money we can’t afford.

LOL I'm all for this. Americans want to keep crying, yet the government, rich business owners, etc., have 0 problem with any of this because they'll reap in the profits. Red or Blue, it's still screw me and you ???

the rich get richer ...

The rich are just moving new slaves to take the jobs people here can’t afford to work at because of inflated prices.

I really don't understand this. The US is an ultra-capitalistic country, where literally only the very rich can have decent lives, while everybody else struggles and is genuinely unhappy. What are those people expecting to find over there except for catastrophic levels of homelessness, drug-abuse, living paycheck to paycheck and never making it anywhere and crime rates, that are far above average, even though nowhere as bad as in Mexico?

Many of these immigrants come from countries that the USA have sanctions on. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world ? more than Saudi Arabia, but the US won't lift the Sanctions. Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, Columbia, El Salvador, Guatamala all of south America are RICH in natural resources. But they are most impoverished places on earth. Corruption is a big factor but so is China, SAUDI ARABIA (Middle East) America 's lover, and we kiss their as*

Eat the rich

canada has a corrupt government that serves the rich, canada doesn't need more people. the only reason work is available is because companies pay executives too much and don't want to pay workers, canadians wont do it.

Venuzela use to be rich country... During 90's

You forgot 1 major point-\nAt least here in Canada, we don't have to live in fear of gun violence. We don't send our children only for them to be massacred in their schools. At least our politics doesn't revolve around Jesus, guns and abortion (though our politicians are also crap). At least we don't have to break bad to pay for even simple medical procedures. At least our cities aren't overrun by homeless while our rural areas are not overrun by hillybillies. \n\nWhile yes in general Americans are richer, the fact is that only the top 10 percent live better. Not the homeless piling up in the cities, not the 3rd world shanties in the Appalachians and south and certainly not the thousands living in the American jail system. It's crazy how bad a country can be despite being rich.\n\nI was born and raised in the US. I have lived in Canada and much poorer countries like Spain and Portugal. Let me tell you, Americans live the worst life out of all. In much poorer Spain, people still have universal education till university, good healthcare, good public transportation system and they don't have to eat the frozen crap most Americans eat. Spanish people eat fresh meat, fruits, cheese and vegetables and drink some of the best wine, despite earning much less than Americans and working astonishingly low hours. Moreover, their cities are livable, not like the concrete jungle of Texas. \n\nYes America is rich but DUDE, Its seriously third world, if you arent rich and successful.

all indigenous people are not allowed to enter their own land\nand are also called immigrants ?\n\nand I see messages from white people that make me angry ‼️ know one thing it's not your country\nand you stole it\nand enjoy all riches and resources that are not yours.\n\nyou all need to go back to where you came from because you are the immigrants in the land\n\nand that's why you racists are just like donald trump\nand the president of america\nand the whole system is a racist

I just don't get it ; we have so many homeless. Seems like due to warmer weather they'd be better to stay in Mexico. We aren't a rich country anymore. We don't have the $ to pay them for jobs....

I can understand it. I must say, if i was them and dont get legal in, but feel it is necessary, then i would also try to come illegal in. Im not in their Position, im born in a rich country and have a good peaceful life. But when i would born in Afghanistan or some countries in Afrika i would definatly try to go to a rich free peaceful country. Really.

I’m Mexican and I hate to see my people fleeing our country due to corruption . These people ain’t fleeing cause it’s good out there. Our culture is so rich but the Mexican government has to do better . The Mexican government is like that one adult everyone hates cause it’s so irresponsible.

I’m rich ? lol ?

For all you blatantly racist people here in the comments which seems to be just about everyone here, this is capitalist America for you. You say they take your jobs and your homes because you yourself have a hard time finding a job or a home. It’s not because there’s no homes. In fact there’s so many unused homes that exist in the United States that we could give every homeless person we have here a house and there would still be over a million houses empty. So you can blame the conservatives that vote for people who only want to benefit the rich. These Spanish people aren’t “taking your jobs” or houses or anything.

We fked their country up so much with all the billions of dollars we funded their cartels with that now they want to leave their own country, and we can't let them all in. That goes for most of the countries that these caravans are coming from. The US population literally hand-fed each and every single one of those cartels enough that they grew so rich that they are as powerful as the government over there. We destabilized an entire continent.

Government workers get paid way to much in Canada and have to much power.. teachers and fire fighter make 100K with amazing pensions and it’s way harder to do in the private sector.. I remember in high school everyone wanted to be a teacher because it’s how you get rich… also there are thousands of government workers getting way overpaid… are only saving grace is foreigners coming in and starting business… really feels like USA will own is shortly

If this video wasn't about Canada you could very well believe that this video was about Australia. We are pretty much the same. There are too many selfish idiots in this country who want to get rich quick through property investing. As a result of this everyone is mortgaged up to their eyeballs in debt. People think that owning investment properties means you're some sort of god. If we didn't have any resources our entire economy would be focussed on building homes. The thing is, the houses that builders build in this country are terrible. They don't insulate well, the materials used are crap, the workmanship is poor. People on average now take out mortgages 6-7x their income. To keep property booming we open the floodgates for immigrants. The societal landscape of our country is changing for the worse. Looking around Melbourne and Sydney, most people are either Chinese or Indian now. These people run away from their countries (which they think are crap compared to the West) and then they buy houses here resulting in people born in Australia losing out.\n\nThe entire thing is a god damn ponzi scheme.

There's a mental problem in both, US and Latin America. \nIn the US you don't have poor people, but rich people fallen from grace.\nIn LatAm, from Mexico to Chile and Argentina, when people fail in all their projects and have no other way out in their countries, they choose to embark on their journey to our new El Dorado: \nThe United States of America.

Long story short living in Canada sucks. If you ain’t rich you are scrapping for change.

The last time my landlord came to collect rent, I invited him to come up to my apartment to show him I was taking good care of the place (and to hopefully discourage him from renovicting me at some point in the future). He said he didn't have time, as he had to go collect rent from 11 or 12 of his other properties around the city. He also mentioned that he had never seen the inside of my apartment before (despite the fact that he owns it). He has only been in the country for a few years, but apparently he already owned a lot of land here before immigrating. He's a very nice guy, but I can't help but feel that there's something seriously wrong with this picture. We can't base our entire national economy on selling our land and resources to rich foreigners while we produce nothing of actual value.

Seems fine to me. People need to look in the mirror and their spending habits. People focus on WANTS and forget about NEEDS, and many spend beyond their means... which should include what if situations. Those of us who spend with that in mind still have fun but when things hit the fan, we're not impacted as much. You don't have to be rich to make wise financial decisions, including where you live. But it's easier for some to point the finger at government, companies, certain segments of the population, etc. versus looking in the mirror first.

Good let them through. We need workers to help our economy. Since everybody thinks they can get rich of social media here

As a Canadian myself living in this country for over 30 years... the problem here is that Canada have a diversed industry but because the country itself is so small (population wise) that none of these industries reached economies of scale. While Canada has regions rich with natural resources, all they do is extracted it, sell it to U.S. and then buy the producted that was produced by these raw materials back at a higher cost. The political structure of Canada doesn't help either: Each region essencially specialized in a few industries (Alberta Oil, Ontario Finance, the Alantic provice's fisheries and oil refineries) and there's equalization payment... meaning if one province is doing well... they don't get to reinvest it back into its infrastructure but rather have to spread some of the excess revenue to other failing provinces... this doesn't incentized productivity but rather leads to a race to the bottom where provinces would want to spend their way to get some of that equalization payment money. Also the provinces themselves doesn't have a unifying economic agenda... Alberta's oil could be best served to be refined out east and then shipped but British Columbia doesn't want pipelines and oil shipping facilities on their coastline... and Quebec isn't interested in having a pipeline either so there's nowhere by the oil but to go down to the states. Finally the province of Quebec( which is french speaking and have their own culture and language) isn't interested in the overall prosperity of Canada at all but rather to extract as much special privilages, rights, and money from the Federal government... and even to declare independance from the Rest of Canada.

I think it depends on what you really want from a country. If you exclude costs of living, Canada today looks like a nice place for retirement where people just want to live life quietly and do simple happy things in life. This makes it not as focus on development in my opinion. The cost of everything is going up because if I was a rich person, I would go to Canada too to live life. Not as stressful and the nature there is just amazing. BC weather is really nice.

The trouble with Canada is that no political party is capable of simultaneously gaining power while also making the difficult structural changes that would make the country more competitive. Successive governments have pandered to the needs of baby boomers protecting their housing wealth, to the detriment of literally everyone else. Young Canadians head south where they can make 2x more money, knowing they can always come back when they are rich. It’s a terrible predicament with no easy solution.

Point to every theory for high real estate prices except for the fact the entire world’s rich uses our property as an investment scam. This while the working class slowly get pushed into new age serfdom with insane property taxation increases. It’s terrible that the media seems to only work for the oligarch narrative these days. The Canadian youth need to wake up.

Well we have a PM who thinks being rich is evil and re-distribution of wealth is a good thing with inflation and taxing I'm a living pay-check to pay-check making 6 figures.

Canada's government is a bunch of rich people who's only concern is to make themselves richer. Then lie about what they did so they can get voted back in so they can steal more from taxpayers. Then the next government is forced to cut everything from education, to medicine, look like huge Aholes, so then we vote the idiots back in again that keep stealing from us. Not allot of time for improvement with all that going on.

We have more than enough rich and wealthy powerful people to fix this problem they just taken too many vacations…so sad pray for all these people to be safe and treated right ❤???

I don’t agree. I say let them in. Their is plenty of room and opportunity. We Americans are Rich and Fat & have no idea what these people have been through… but what do I know.

They are actually entitled… THEY WERE OFFERED JOBS IN THE BORDER TOWN and they said no.. they wanted to go to USA. THEY THINK WERE RICH? We waste taxpayer money on this. Trump tried to stop it but the internal inexperienced teens said it’s evil? I’m sticking with trump and there’s a lot of homeless in USA and the housing crisis is crazy… we need to fix America first. If the police can’t hold the barrier… CALL IN THE FUCKING OLDIES WITH THEIR SHOTGUN OR WEAPON that’ll do it

... ???? this has to be the season finally of America Inc \n\nIf rich countries shared wealth instead of just looting resources, non of this would have happened. These people are not criminals, they just want to live in a peaceful land, where they can work and raise their family.

There's some new land they be showing on YouTube and they selling land there send them there .see I found out all the wealth in rich people are leaving Tx.this why they don't care about them moving into Tx.

Solution is simple. We all know the USA can easily make those third world countries better so none of their citizens would even think of coming to America for a better life economically. If I may ask: who made all those third world countries poor despite their rich natural resources? Message ???

So we only allow the rich ones in? So stupid but not suprised

illegal immigrants are not allowed. There will be a lot of mess. They think they will become rich, but in reality they will be homeless and increase crime

If America was rich, prosperous and healthy - we could afford to help ppl.\n\nBut the same Americans that want to help at all costs also cheer on the downfall of America - limiting America to an open fridge destined to become barren.\n\nSince my words don't motivate Americans to keep it safe, I guess I'll just migrate away from yall myself?

Rich countries rob these poor countries put them on sanctions and when they blow up financially they stop them from migration..

Venezuelans are desperate because the country went from riches to rags and everyone there is hungry.
