We have a leader who seems to be deeply invested in shutting down our oil and gas industry. He shut down oil and gas. Which put hundreds of people out of work. Then he slapped us with a carbon tax. He told us the carbon tax dollars would be invested toward producing green energy projects and manufacturing jobs. So far, the Carbon tax went up again, he banned plastic straws, he’s hitting our farmers with heavy restrictions on fertilizer, because it’s not green enough. \nMany of our indigenous communities have been living for years with contaminated water. He promised he was going to ensure the indigenous communities have access to clean drinking water. He has not fulfilled that promise. \nHe’s bidding $30 billion dollars to hopefully sign a deal to manufacture electric car batteries for Volkswagen. \nHe’s investing in other projects, as well. Unfortunately, he’s only investing in eastern provinces. \nSo far, there has been no investments in western provinces yet. Many of the out of work oil and gas workers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are still waiting on the jobs they were promised. \nLow wages, high inflation, high taxes and high income housing is bringing a lot of us to our knees. \nOur leader is corrupt. It seems like every week there is another corrupt scandal he and his government are involved in. \nI can’t speak for every Canadian, but I can say with absolute certainty that a large number of us are sick and tired of our current leader. Most of us live with the hope that if our leader can get voted out. Canada may have a chance to go back to the way our beautiful country used to be.

Policy change in October, but how long did it take these peoples to walk all the way from Venezuela through entire Mexican lands to get to this border... if they had already left Venezuela and were on the journey , they would be stuck... \nIts not as if they took a plane ticket this morning or days ago from Venezuela to Juarez and just ignored the changes... \nCompassion.\n Let them apply ! Let them put in applications for asylum.

Build towns that are surrounded by walls give them a small space to live and build factories. Allow these people to have a small check and live and work in those small cities say in the middle of nowhere. Make them work for 1 year in those places and as long as they do good not crime and show up for work and take care of there living space then allow them to become citizens. That way you weed out the criminals and non hard workers. In 1 year you will have a good idea of who should be staying. Also its them paying for there spot and contributing to the us economy. Once they become contributing members of society and they get on there feet out of each check they will take a small amount to pay for all the resources that were used to help them. Also I belive the majority of the ones let in should be women and the young children. If I don't get free help working full time struggling they shouldn't either. Let's make america a manufacturing power house like we're were in the past and the only reason we are a super power now. Also do the same thing for criminals and the homeless teach them worth ethic and how to follow laws instead of giving them handouts to go buy more dope

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!!!!

Canada is basically another state of US at this point. Canada has independent domestic policies just like any US state but foregin policis are Washington lead. Canada has great educational instuation just like many other US state but ultimately, the graduates leave for better states in the US to get better pay. Almost all export of Canada is to US and almost all import are from same US suppliers from Asia. Some will say Canada is very different from US in the way people act and live their life. That is true but even inside US, California is very different from Texas and New York is very different from Iowa. Just goes to show different states have different lifestyle but are still part of the same country.\nThis is not a bad thing, in fact Canada is lucky to have access to the biggest market of the world. Being under US security umberlla means no one will attack you. Canada's government know this so they made policies that lead to integration with US economical and defence system.

So I am just wondering as an American why you Canadians don't have any ways to remove PM Justin Trudeau if your economy is getting worse? Because he's been there for decades.

Yeah, I moved from Calgary to the Philippines, so I get those reasons. I'm way happier here and the way things seem to keep going, Canada is becoming the most corrupt place. If you can, and it's something you are willing to do, I'd recommend finding the place that truly makes you happy to live in and enjoy life.

Go back and stand in front of your Government, and tell him to take care of all of you first, and your jobs problems. Act this way demanding change, Mexican first to your Presidente Obrador. Go back ignorants. You're going to get deported when trump takes over, and you're going to be experiencing the worst of your lives if you also have children.

It’s sad to think what their lives must be like in their native country to leave everything behind for a desperate attempt to get into another country. It’s also sad to think my life is way better simply because I happen to be born here and has nothing to do with being a good person.

How did they get passed all the other countries? I know some of them got kidnapped by the cartels in Mexico. I'm a Mexican American and this pisses me off seeing a bunch of Venezuelans at our border trying to force their way in having a pity party. It's disrespectful. Fix your own country for your future generations.!

They need to act that way in their own government in their country. Somebody needs to stop pumping them up. They are being told that they will get stuff free.

Every nation has the right to protect border and make sure the local law is respected - if they are behaving this way trying to get in... Enough is Enough

Why didn't they unload on them? Any other country probably would have. Where are they going to live? Our fields and forests are being razed. There's other ways to go about this. EVERYONE knows that if you need to sneak in somewhere than you're doing something wrong. America has enough problems as is. Not just with other countries but the one's that are deep inside our borders. Let's start by not hating women which can be broken into subcategories like getting paid as much as a male coworker and reproductive rights. Now their country's are aligning with all of the other countries that hate us. We need to know WHO we're letting in.

This is definitely a time where I love the comments. OMG I feel same as all I wrote. How dare they fight to get over here like they US citizens and belong here. Why they forcing themselves over here. I'm sorry but are we the only connecting country???. We got way too much of our own shidt going on. They trying to bully their way over here. So do we need the military or our prisoners out there building that daMn wall???

It’s really sad that people see no future or safety where they are at. They’re willing to flee on foot with children and little else to walk hundreds of miles just to hopefully make their kids lives better. There has got to be a better way to help these people. I don’t know the answers but I also don’t get paid to know them. As someone who has sympathy for my brothers and sisters no matter where they were born this just hurts my heart.

look at this shi...democratic you know how much drugs an human trafficking just made it threw this is way to get distracted so pay attention

The question is, Once we submit the visitor visa for both Father and Mother in one account(The way you filled and explained), do they get two biometric letters individually or one biometric which will have both of their names?

Bozeman Montana has turned into Lil Mexico. People thought they were cool getting $20 an hour to work at McDonald’s well I can guarantee you that that way just gonna go down now that we’ve got 10,000 freaking illegals here

They're getting through the states and showing up at our borders all the way up north here in Canada. Wtf is going on down there lol.

Damn these people have no money no shots and nobody knows ŵho they are ĵYou no therr some hardened criminals in this mass of illegals. Rapist murderers child molesters..This has to be stopped ✋️. It like a eruption of drugs disease and crime being released on our people.Anyone who's against stopping this should be jailed for treason.Better yet force them to go the other way and let them see how fat they get before there jailed or murdered

There are THOUSANDS upon thousands of empty apartments houses and buildings! \n\nALL EMPTY. ALL BELONGING TO THE WEALTHY. HOMELESS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND GROWING EVERY SINGLE DAY. \n\nBut they make sure to get the cheapest immigrant cleaner (who struggles to survive) to CLEAN THESE EMPTY HOMES! For nothing! No one lives there! \n\nThis is old news. \n\nTHE ELITES PROSPER WHILE THEY STEP ON YOUR SCULL TO FIND THEIR WAY!!!

Why is this not being stoped. They could simply block off the ways in with non-lethal bean bag guns or something. It hurts enough to wear nobody would want to get hit.

Fuck up we need to help are people get out of Mexico and find a way to get them papers it's all on the presidents to make that happen if there's a will there's way ?

This makes me super sick to my stomach I hate people who are doing this! My grandpa came to this country the legal way! So did my mom and dad! They worked from sunrise to sunset. And this people come here and get everything handed to them. Not cool

Where’s the US Military? Now is the time to use them to get control of this situation on our homeland!!!! I don’t care myself I’m so tired of our country being overrun and taken advantage of by illegal foreigners just bullying their way into this country!!!! You wouldn’t do this crap in Russia or China get this sh** in order US Government!!!!! Send these people back home!!!! Anyone caught trafficking is facing harsher punishment!!!! Don’t care if child was born here to illegal parents to me you’re still illegal!!! GET THE HELL OUT!!! Most of you when you get here you don’t accept the American way of life anyway, so stay in your own countries!!! This one is falling apart at the seams as it is!!!

Everyone saying get them Out of the u.s blah blah, I’m sure the Indians felt the same way.

Not a US citizen but this is madness why all these people trying to enter this way..They can apply legally and get entry..No country can sustain if people just pack their bags and show up at their borders..I hope US does all it can to not let all these people ..

I don't give a damn who you are or what you say this can only be called what it is a invasion an invasion is when an army is crossing your borders illegally show me where that is not what is happening if we had a Administration that cared about this country even one iota they would have the military they're putting a stop to it but the current Administration does not give a damn about this country they are nothing but a bunch of lying criminals persecuting anyone who tries to get in their way

I don't get why people do this we in Australia are one land we don't treat people this way

Hi \n\nHow parents can get the appointment of biometric and what is the way to apply.\n\nAs we need the biometric for both to put in the file how can they do their biometric

If we had an immigration program where after passing a background anyone can join a roving us work immigration camp where for 5 years they’ll work and get free education afterwards so they can save and pick up american work and life culture. \nFor 5 years every new migrant will be building roads, laying water and electric lines and building homes and neighborhoods. This will bring cost of living way down here in the USA while doing a faster better job of Americanizing our newcomers. We would be able to rise our population level really fast without harming the American white picket fence dream. \nLastly the program won’t be available for just migrants, our own people can get guaranteed work if they would like to join the program.

The one that went to go to another country they need to do it to write way.. I'm American my wife is fun to Philippines. We filled out all the paperwork and my wife Took the citizen test and she passed. That's the way you should post to do it. Not this walk a Cross . We need fences in the United States to stop all that. Not just because of the Ones have trying to cheat and get here also the terrace..

We have way to many migrants in Canada, but it's okay our prime minister will help them and give them a bunch of money and give them an amazing life! Everything will be taken care for them while other Canadians get screwed over

We need to kick all the illegal immigrants in the country out if they don’t wanna come here the right way and they can’t be here it’s not fair to the rest of the world. Did they get to sneak in and then we make other people that don’t share a border with us come here legally.

Mayorkas must of been pissed that the border agents did not just give them free travel all over America. At this point you will get way more from the government if you are an illegal alien

The American government is behind this.... that's why you don't see it on American news.... this is Biden way too get more white people in America, if they can pass for white.

Get Mayorca there, oh?\nIs he way too busy kissing BidObama¿?

Well if the USA stop given them paper righ away they get permit so fast way before a Mexican that’s not right

The US needs to stop with the land of the dream in other countries and stop glorifying the the rich life culture, people think money is way to come by until you get here, then you realize the real

This is exactly why we should give them a legal way to get in and have them enter the country properly we're an entire country of immigrants let them in if they have the money to pay coyotes they have the money to come to America

Nothing to see here.\n\nJust a mass illegal migration for decades as we have a dwindling home front procreation. \n\nTotally not a way to get democratic votes as they conveniently ignore the border issue directly affecting our country, let's have our leaders go to Zambia and Ukraine, instead of Palestine, OH or ANY part of our border.

Put the alligators at the borders and fix your own country this is sad but how we struggling is worse for us too fuck that get over here the right way my family is Hatian and they paid to come here fuck that

They got tired of traveling through the coyote way-They want the Free hotels ?????????Free Cell phones \n??The food stamps!!!!!!!!!\nThe free housing because unlike our homeless drug addicts we have here living homeless/Some not even born in this country-They are “IMMIGRANTS !“\nWe provide everything for them when they get over here! They know that?????????????But come on !!???They’ll be here?????Just- first\nThey had to try this way-\nThe easy way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg- I’m LoLing into oblivion from this crap! Wtf???? Look it’s the person that’s going to be shopping next to you soon. Pumping gas next you soon.????????They just gotta go through New Mexico Now-damn!\nOr California Now-damn!\nOr Arizona Now-damn!

not a single one of these people must get through. the nerve to demand entry into a country by the use of force...just like that....while most of us have to go through the legal procedures and wait months just to have your visa granted....but that is the correct way of getting legal permission to be in the US.....all of those venezuelans are sent by their government to create chaos...its how south american communism and socialism operates...

Americans need to get America back together?under God it's the only way . We need to be strong so we can help.

Yeah get the hell out of here your guys's country so messed up over there and then you're just going to bring it over here but to be honest about it everybody who voted for biden they wanted this WAY TO GO JOE BIDEN AND HIS VOTERS

Goosebumps.. wt we try to escape. N have to go threw feeling it may b the only hope to take that chance.. some of y'all have no idea what that's like .. nd it shows .. plenty of space we're just set up off greed nd selfish ways of operation, among our own society. Which is built up from everyone around the world but Hispanics have been in the land Texas nd California was originally theirs .. man life is weird , so much gets fuzzy n blemished we don't see the mere existence in the eyes of some these ppl .. the countless ppl that die trying the screams .. the treachery.. \n\nWe're all one ..

Deport them. My family migrated here through legal means and worked our way up while these illegal aliens get a free pass and funded to live here. Sigh.

My grandfather spent 13 months in a submarine during the Vietnam War to get our family citizenship. Get citizenship the right way ??

If they can illegally force their way in, imagine what havoc they’ll wreak on the economy and the crimes they’ll commit to get what they want in America. They are already committing a crime by doing this, who is to say they won’t commit more (perhaps even more heinous) crimes once they force their way in? If anything, they need to direct this energy towards their government and fight for their own country instead of bringing their problems into America
