Imagine getting mad at your rich neighbors because they won't let you in to escape from your broke parent's house

The exact words I was thinking:\n\nThere is not a chance in hell of me ever moving to the United States.\n\nReasons.\n#1. Gun culture.\n#2. Health Care.\n#3. Christian Theocracy.\n#4. The Sheer Near Total Insanity of the Republican Party. This includes the state of the Supreme Court, and the current barbaric handling of abortion.\n#5. The racial issues... that are still today influenced by the history of slavery.\n#6. The Issues around the Electoral College that allow a candidate to become president while losing the popular vote. Also the lack of an independent body to oversee elections. That is sheer madness.\n#7. Denser populations, and, as a related issue, greater pollution.\n#8. The Presidential Pardon... which is a concept that seems designed to facilitate the abuse of power.\n#9. Fox News, and the rest of the deeply manipulative right wing media... which I should have put much higher on this list.\n#10. Military spending... which also should probably be higher on this list.\n#11. The myth of American exceptionalism.\n#12. American ignorance of the rest of the world, in general.\n#13. The Criminal Code including the Death Penalty, which was eliminated in Canada many years ago.\n#14. Education.\n#15. The drastically increased potential for political violence ever since Trump entered the political arena. This one also should be higher on the list. The United States could not even get through a transfer of power without violence. This is beyond pathetic. The peaceful transition of power is the #1 job of first-world democracies.\n#16. Attitudes toward social problems such as poverty and drug addiction. \n\nNotice that #4 - #7 could be subdivided into more than one reason.\nI thought this list was going to have 5 or 6 items on it.

I live in Canada (Quebec), and I dont think I would move to the US, not even sure I want to visit...\nAnd the thing is, if you would have asked me maybe 20 years ago, I would have loved to live there, in NY even.\nMind you, I dont have any firm confirmation of how it is, but if we listen to the media, it seems like simply walking in NY is risky, thieves and mentaly ill people at every corner. What I'm getting at is that the picture drawn by the medias is one of complete insecurity, dirty and almost evil place, fill with mostly good people, but surrounded by madness left unchecked (sorry for my bad english, still learning).

Instead of getting mad at them we should be asking why Mexico can't sustain their own people

Indians get mad and want to fight over words all the time but the thing is they can't fight and that's really funny

Americans are getting mad and saying that they need to go back, while same could be said to us Americans since we took this land from natives

Welcome to the left bring in a large amount of people with my tax dollars illegally, the rest are gonna get mad and try to come illegally too, get rid of democrats the Democratic Party started in Russia the Soviet Union and you see how that turned out and now you wanna give democrats more power

No, they do bring up questions such as where are you from and you respond to them then they ask you where are you from originally, they are very nosi and by many means want to find answers for their curiosity, in Toronto no one even do eye contact let alone to be friendly or socializing, if someone approaches you is not out of friendliness, it's out of their curiosity and finding out information about you. If they hear you speaking in your native ? get mad and tell you here is Canada. You should speak English, that's not the reason, the reason is that they want to know what you are talking about and knowing about your personal business and conversation

Racism will go away when the double standards go away. You’re right stop worrying about other people and worry about yourselves. Support black owned businesses and watch BET. But don’t get mad if there’s a white entertainment television, and a united white college fund. What’s good for the goose…you know? If you get mad at it that means you’re insecure about your own selves. Forget about reparation. None of us owned slaves and there is enough programs and points on the union tests just for being black for you guys to all enjoy. Not to mention quotas for having minorities in work, jobs and schools. Go get them. Handouts are never coming. Just remember it was Black people in Africa that sold Black people as slaves. And stop being scared of the cops. Black people kill more Black people than any other race and the cops combined. So if you see a cop and a black person down the street scared of the black person. It is way more likely that he will kill you than a cop!

This is an invasion people you better wake tf up and start arming yourselves and storing food. I know violence and societal collapse seems impossible and scary for some of you to swallow and i know some of you are going to be lost when it does but we have to wake up and start sticking together as tax paying americans. Its already over people WAKE UP!! This isnt normal no country in millenia of history has EVER just dropped its borders and survived NEVER. Forget about retirement and your cushy jobs forget about social security and all that and keeping your heads down. Dont you see!!!?? They are trying us, they do not fear us anymore. They want to take our guns for a reason. They are already talking about dipping into our 401ks and saying no social security by 2034 but are giving checks to illegal immigrants. HELLOOO Wake TF up people we are being INVADED and destroyed right in front of our faces. If you have little kids at home right now i want you to think about them. I want you to think about your grandparents and the struggles that we know as Americans that they endured and hard work and wars they went through for us. I want you to get MAD dammit its time to get mad. Think about your babies, these Muther f#^# rs in office are taking their future and giving away. they arent fighting it away from us they are giving it away and we are letting them. What are our kids going to have left? We are failing our children by not sacrificing today.

Mad respect to Canada, they're some people that travaled many countries to get to Canada meet their family have better life and they're some racist people that are starting arguments because we shouldn't allow the illegal immigrants

l bet that all of you Trump haters are missing him about now. Those who wasted their vote on Biden and Harris, this is what yous asked for. Yous made this possible. This is total madness. There's a Home Depot across the street from where I work. Migrants go there hoping to get chosen by people who need a few men for work. In a month, it went from about 20 men to about a good 150 men just loitering in the parking lot. The police were called. Three SUV'S pulled in, and over the loud speaker telling them to leave the premises. As they were exiting, I told them, welcome to America. This is totally insane and must be stopped. If we don't get Trump back in office, it's gonna only get worse, exponentially. Republicans must keep hold on to the House of representatives, get the senate back and Trump back in office. When his term in office is over, vote for the Republican front runner and keep grasp on both chambers. Right now we have WW3 starring us right in the face. If Democrats and their left leaning liberals aren't stopped, then the beginning of the end of America will be in full swing. Everybody please wake the fuck up!

Don’t say Mexico go invade Venezuela USA about get mad at Mexico tho???

The older generation gets mad at them but I kinda feel bad for them. Venezuela is a very poor and dangerous country. Imagine being so desperate to leave your country that you travel all the way through Mexico just for a chance to get in the US

We can’t get mad at them being against us, we should know this by now and unite to do for self.

Getting to be time to lock n load. Our government WON'T stop this madness, so it's becoming OUR responsibility very rapidly!!! If it were pre- WWII, we'd already be protecting our border/country!!!!

This is what happens when you steal peoples lands, displace them, draw lines in their country, push them out, just because you told them this wasn’t their land, they remember, they have elders that speak of the old ways, you people kill me, you know these people stole America, and moved people against their will all around the world, yet you sit here like this land mass belongs to you. Our Creator didn’t creat these boundaries man did. Our Creator gave instruction for the lands, Ham-The Hot Lands, Japheth- The Cold Lands, Shem-The Seasonal Lands. You people are more Japheth lineage and shouldn’t be here, that’s what colonization will do, put you in a place you’re not suppose to be. It doesn’t matter, because all of you are leaving, Our Creator is going to make it so. You people are hateful vile people, who cares for no one but yourselves, and people are worth more than the houses or cars or jobs you have. You don’t get to cause famine, death, and all sorts of evils in other countries, and don’t expect them to eventually make their way to the only safe place, while you neglect to tell your citizens you told these people what you were doing in their country was to help them, and the entire time you stole their resources, kept them poor, and then you put them on TV to show how much better we have it in America, when you’re the one who caused the problem. Don’t get me talking about this rotten, way America treats everybody but YT America, facts are facts, and if you go along with this madness, that makes you just as bad as these evil vile gentiles that have a date with destiny.

10k per day since Biden took office is way too many people with zero accommodations. That’s hundreds of millions all in the Texas border. And they get mad when a few bus loads arrive in NY?

Why are you worrying about Canada and a disgruntled African chic who could easily move back to Africa chose to stay than mad about her choice or predicament meanwhile telling others African not to come. Why don’t she trade places with those that want to come. Worried about Chicago? Chicago is burning yet these justices worriers are not asking Democrat what are their plans for Chicago. Black Americans are not important. California were black are being forced to leave in the streets. Democrats policies area doing this. What don’t you get for your precious Biden help.,

Keep them out !!!! We have trouble with our own citizens who are here legally! Stop this border madness now. Get Mexico to take them all and house them and feed them. Let the cartel know we are not going to cooperate with their human trafficking their drug trafficking their smuggling. We have the power to stop this without consulting Biden administration. Our state borders are our state’s responsibility not the federal government we have the right to declare an invasion. These illegals will have to pay the price for being illegal.

We first destabilize their country and then we get mad they’re migrating on mass like this

Sad our idiotic president keeps making bad choices. I live 7 mins away from the yarbrough entry and its scary. Gets me mad Americans are struggling bad and our own president isn't helping us but others. For those who voted thinking this is okay its not, they are rude, entitled, and trashing up our city bad. This isnt fair for those who did things right to be here this is pathetic.

GET MAD AT DEMOCRATES

They don’t realize the harm they’re doing to the ones that already here illegally and are trying to do the best to get do everything right without breaking the laws , such as paying taxes. It’s selfishness from their part for what they’re doing and it’s only harming people like me. I’m was brought here to the US when I was 2 years old I am now 20. I graduated high school , don’t have any felonies or misdemeanors. I have a degree for machine technology and I can’t work because I don’t have a work permit , and these people are coming and getting all these privileges I never got. This is causing bad to those who are already here and are trying to do everything according to the law and yet we have no support in getting atleast a work permit. I agree daca was unconstitutional which is why they’re trying to shut it down but trump was trying to make something happen for teens that were brought here at a young age. Unfortunately people are blind and selfish and only care about themselves, I get it that they live in poverty because so did we. And my beautiful mother suffered so much. But atleast wait until the US can do something about those who are already in weather it’s helping them or not. There’s so much problems happening right now in the United States such as mass shootings. Let the authorities, government officials , etc try to clean up the United States from how bad it’s getting before raiding the border and causing a burden and headache to those who are in office trying to come up with solutions to this madness.

How in the comments all Former immigrants getting Mad about immigrants, White American Talk about Immigration in General is Just a f Joke itself. I Just See Humans who try to escape some false government Put Up artificial Border. Good on you Guys!

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 ..

This makes me so mad, that city is struggling their citizens can’t get assistance because the local government is giving to the immigrants. Housing programs are giving their funding to those coming across the border they can’t even help United States citizens.

An that’s what America get it’s our government fault … they mess up these countries then be mad when the people wanna come here I don’t blame them

This is all shameful ????we have plenty in this country the problem is the greed and the problem is the mismanagement of the wealthy on Wall Street and the bankers!!!!! Stop blaming the poor. Another issue greedy whites in this country forget you have mis treated your neighbors in South America and allowed their nations to fall apart, while helping Ukraine and others but yet those in power don’t give a damn about our borders. This is shameful. Millions of white refugees came to this country poor , dirty and hungry of course we have housing and of course we have land and food but we hate each other as Americans and now our beautiful beloved country is going to shit. We don’t get mad when the rich refuses to pay their fair share of taxes and yet we have allowed entire small towns and urban cites to go to crap. Shameful ?????????????????????❤

I love when white ppl get mad at this

The United States and her companies have been sucking the life out of Latin American since 1836 the manroe doctrine still exist. Don’t ruin peoples countries then get mad when they come to yours. One day tho we’ll fight back and free the hispanic/lainto people all that needs to happen first is the US needs to pull her corporate and Federal interest of Latin America and actually give her people self-determination. Look up the United fruit company look up what the CIA did in South America during the 50s and 60s whole generations of suffering after dictator and hardship all thanks to the US and her imperialism. A lot of you need education on the matter instead of reading the first book your teacher or Facebook article your homie handed you??

And people wonder why a lot of people have such a dim view of migrants. What kind of brain rot has to affect someone that they think they can just run into another country and get mad when that country wants none of that.

Don't get mad at the people trying to find a better life here, get mad at the asshoes in power trying to keep us fighting each other so we don't see that they still have more stocks than us

My stepson gets cussing mad and swears this doesn't happen its all just fox news propaganda lmao

Wow thisbis madness, especially seeing young kids on their fathers shoulders desperate to get out of their country.?

Why are Americans mad? Europeans get to enter kill people take their lands, but Mexicans or venezuelans or aby south American people can't enter that land?\nI find it extremely bizarre

When did half the world become so entitled that they think they can go wherever they want illegally?? IT IS ILLEGAL, they should be put in detention centres or jail with no freedom like the criminals they are! Stop making it ok, stop giving them the free crap they come here expecting! Jail or deportation, 95% of these people are NOT refugee’s they are illegal economic migrants who come expecting everything and we give it to them! They will never stop because they are entitled people who have no problem committing crime to get what they want, to go where they want. One boarder crossing road closing is too little too late, they’ll find another way because they have no morals. It won’t be long before Canadians are the minority in our own country. It’s madness and needs to stop. If you can’t come in legally, stay away! Illegal migrants are NOT WELCOME HERE!!!

You knows its getting really bad when liberal CNN is covering this. Biden needs to taking some energy pills and stop this madness!

What needs to happen is those Latin American Countries need to get their shit together and make it safe for their own citizens. No one should be angry with those who are fleeing those dangerous Countries, they should be mad at the leaders of those Countries that are so corrupt that they won't do a damn thing about crime.

The only thing you can do right now is completely close the border. NO further immigration or asylum seekers until further notice. Notice how Trudau is saying he is trying to work with US and, as always, nothing gets accomplished with this administration. Now Canada is mad at US too!

It has nothing to do with tolerance but making big money! Sell drugs , keep them on it! So many industries are making business with this disgusting situation, others payed to look away. Taxpayers are the idiots paying for this tragic . They should stop legalize hard drugs so people don’t end up on the street . Laws made for criminals to thrive.They don’t control the Crimes but make of gang of so supposed 40 criminals and the drug lords are making big business that’s all. City hall is so called “ Helpless “ instead of cleaning up this growing area of half dead and naked screaming people.The shops in the are under massiv attack, brake in after brake in causing massiv damage ! Broken Windows on a regular basis, cause no one in position created &well pated will take action to stops this ! Damages are payed by the shop owner , so who cares . Vancouver drug area in the middle of the Tourist area is the richest district because so many are making money with this terrible situation! Police does not even bother anymore because theses criminals on drug are protected. Maybe one night in jail and then go back to hurting the taxpayers who pays for this madness. Even the 5 star hotels near the area experienced brake ins and robbers. All of this is well supported and grows like cancer. Many young are in danger to take something while having a party because it’s easy and legal to get wasted and loose your brain, then to sit on the street or get sent back home in a black bag! and put the needle in your arm while we got work to pay for this. The fire alarm is used many times mostly just for fun from zombies in the drug houses placed absolutely wrong in the middle of a expansive shopping street by the city to good ! To whom I am wondering. A disgrace inhuman disgusting how this is handeld! Shane on you all who keep this situation I alive ! Pray to God this find an End !

why they have a home in Mexico. Now we're going to get another country mad at us thanks Joe Biden.

Don't want to be rude but US is now suffering too. It is no longer a haven if we keep giving asylum then what is the essence of rules of a country ?. \n\nI know you some will get mad but i'm just giving some facts.

They want a better life. Can't be mad at them. I'd try to get the hell out also. Problem is weeding out the criminals.

Preach, you gone have to run me a fade because you was shittin on E-40 and now American women are subpar? ? And I was mad at Aba for not laughing at your jokes! ? you cut me deep Erich, you cut me deep ?\n\nBut other than that, we are pretty integrated. There’s still a social hierarchy where people place Black people at the bottom, but there’s hella mixed people and a nigga will kill his own before killing an outsider. So yeah, we get along with each other very well for the most part ??

As a german, i can guarantee you, that population density, doesn´t really have that much to do with it.\n\nGermany is half the size of texas and has a fourth of the population of the ENTIRE U.S.\nThere IS more crime in the more populated areas, but it´s not even on the same scale.\n\nProbably most to do with social security, because if you have nothing, and don´t know how to get or don´t have the skills to get something, you gotta steal it. Simple as that.\nI´m not even mad at a lot of US criminals. Gotta live somehow and if noone cares about you, don´t care about noone either.\n\nFuck the gangs tho, that´s different.\n\nAlso:\nCanada and Germany Tap-water PRO´s\nHell yeah?

Imagine a country opening their borders and doors for you. They welcome you. Try to help you to exceed. You can get an education. Get a nice career. Raise kids . Only for you to try to force your religion on that country. Are you freaking mad?! What makes you think you can force another religion on a country that was founded on Christianity. Imagine what would happen if there were Christian patrols in Saudi’s Arabia . Imagining trying to put up monasteries all over the Middle East and Africa. What world do Muslims live in where they think this is acceptable ??

Who wants that kind of streets, communities of Lagos, Nairobi or slums of Mumbai or Rio de Janeiro, and so on? Everyone must live in its boundaries otherwise conflicts emerge. Neighbors can be friends regardless of the country they live but friendship doesn't mean to be getting along all the time, crowding to he streets with children shouting madly . See how silent and peaceful this place is, no one is shouting, no garbage, no motorcycle running around, no cars with loud sound, no people messing up around. This is civilization.

those people just don't get mad over nothing.... this woman is making it look like he's bad. talking about what he should be doing. why wouldn't he do it if the other party got everything needed? we need to know what happened before the woman started recording. otherwise it's just a drama stage

I get it that this is only hald sided version but some of the officers get mad fir no reason s like serious ly they show their anger on customers it happens everywhere may be he had a fight or his mood was not well so like he just shouted at them and lead to this may be lol this is like my explanation anyway this kind of behavior should not be accepted I think he was just mad at them because of his personal reasons
