Yes and if these people truly believed in God and Jesus they wouldn't run from their countries but actually stay on the ground and stand strong in their faith that God and Jesus are going to help them persevere through all this. As a fully disabled American citizen with a child that doesn't even get $1,000 a month and there's no available housing at all where I live no waiting list to go on people on SSI disability don't get any extra housing help we're not offered separate housing are put on separate lists and low-income Able Body people or the migrants jumping the Border but I was born and raised here paid taxes and worked until my body literally couldn't anymore but I don't hear anybody bitching and screaming and crying about the fact that my son and I would be on the streets if it hadn't been for one of my family members stepping up and giving his housing after a lifetime restraining order issued during my pregnancy on my son's biological do do with domestic abuse situation. I'm also US citizen that spent time in the Wards in Houston and projects and other cities and if you don't think that we don't have the same gun violence drug trafficking human trafficking gangs take it over cartels taking over neighborhoods and communities than you're freaking lying to yourself and everybody else. The same s*** that's taken over these countries is taking over the inner cities have been for decades and these are the same communities that most of these people will end up in. No it's not about not being good Christians part of being a good Christian is reminding people to stand their ground and have faith in Jesus and God and their own home territory and not to give it up to the crime people in the bad politicians. You can't say you believe in God and Jesus Christ and then he's got your back while you're running and that's the truth in the reality that nobody wants to hear the more people run from these countries the more the bad people are able to take over and then we get complaints here in the states about the cost attacks is rightfully so. For those people screaming and shouting that everybody should go out pick up in my grant and bring them home to their house and feed them and take them and I challenge you to do the same thing for homeless before you even do the migrant do homeless American citizens go out and really educate yourself because I'm totally tired of hearing from Americans that the only people that live on the streets are people with mental health problems that need mental health treatment or people that are stoned out and that's where they want to be you guys are so f****** wrong and this is coming from someone that met homeless people spent time around homeless people and understand we have a society that wants to paints a very different picture than what's truly going on because then it allows for hey it's not our problem they want to be there. I will say there's two I'm sure a lot of people are attracted to come into the United States I mean it's kind of turned into the Devil's Playground don't you think I mean look at how ostentatiously people live the projects on the backs of taxpayers selling dope holding down dead-end jobs to make it look like they're working all while going out and getting their hair did and their nails done and their eyelashes done and pimping out their cars and all that b******* and buying all this you know high-end tennis shoes and f****** clothing and Handbags and s*** and then we have the part of the United States that justified of themselves all the time or it's okay to have this huge palatial house or have multiple houses I'll we have United States veterans living on the streets or people that truly have disabilities that have been a waiting list for 2 and 3 years for housing. I remind people all the time and they hate hearing this s*** Jesus never had a house as a matter of fact Jesus basically live like a homeless person after he was an adult particularly and God made sure he was provided for. I mean did you all forget the night they came to take them away they were asleep in an Open Garden it wasn't like they popped up tents or glamper camper sites had some little Adobe type cabins they were sleeping in. As a matter of fact if you pay attention to most of the stories about Jesus and talking about him sleeping he does a lot of sleeping Outdoors. Remember God is a father that's how he's been represented and talked about in the Bible and Jesus was a man without a doubt no biological transgender question ability there. People need to remember that part of being a fair and loving. Is also teaching and discipline and these children following rules. I don't believe hearing God and Jesus telling all these people run from your countries and not have faith that I'm actually going to fix things for you and go run to somebody else actually go run to the United States where all those stuff is traveling through. I never understood the logic of that it's like rats run from the country where they're making the drugs to the country that supplying the globe with it and we're all of these bad people have thousands of people in planted everywhere with guns and hookups. I don't know why people don't understand that we have dirty lawn forcement in dirty politicians that are in bed with the dirty drug cartels that's as much as they are in the country. You don't think that there's not decisions made in the United States based on drugs and I'm not talking about how to put it into them but how to keep them flowing. I have Fred still in Florida and we were all making jokes about how quickly Sanibel Island all the way up to st. Pete got Mainland access so quickly after the last major hurricane that took everything down and we all know what it's from is because that portion of Florida is used to bring a lot of drugs in from South America, Central America. So for all of you that want to post your personal assumptions about homeless people because that's all it is unless you've actually been homeless or spent time around homeless you really have no clue what's going on in the homeless population except what you've been told by the same political talking head media bulshit that's been lying to everybody about a bunch of other stuff too. Don't you get it the politicians don't want people knowing that a lot of the people that are homeless on the street are people that are disabled and aren't disabled because they have mental health problems I know that's the narrative they've been trying to stuff down people's throats.

U can hear their desperate crys in there voices for a better life...this is sad...ppl need to heal the world

Christ almighty...but you hear nothing about this crisis. Crickets

This was the last place I thought I'd hear about Priscilla, Queen of the Desert????

Build back better am I right and I hear they have an app for your phone now that makes it easier to walk right in?

I watch the Congressional hearings with the director of Homeland Security repeatedly when asked if this was a problem he would not answer he would just diverting the question with statements that have nothing to do with the question asked.\nBut the one thing he kept repeating and making a point was that border patrol has apprehended countless numbers of Cuban and people from Venezuela and has denied entry into the United States she kept making the point of these two countries because he knows it's been especially and Venezuelans will definitely vote Republican because they come from communist socialist countries.\nIf I am wrong why would it be these were the two that he made the biggest point about just to let you know he also was talked about people from Haiti\nGo watch the videos of the hearing they were a joke

Now how many people are hearing the Australian accent as you where reading the comments ?

When you hear the school bell

Hear me out!...Navy training base along gulf coast,National Guard training base along the border,Army training base along the border,Air force training base with thermal drones to support border forces,etc.Now our 18-22 year olds are trained,stationed,and not listed for active duty till 22 along said bases.Expand border policy and house them in temporary barracks till vetting.In meantime our youth can be trained and we can use the workforce while finding/training job skills,speech,and humanity.We can use the workforce for jobs us entitled Americans take for granted and also understand as a Hispanic male we don't fuq around give a man a job and see him grow instead of steal.

I hear there's another Crossing just down the road

They did nothing did you see and hear , wake up .

I wonder what our Sleepiest president is trying to cover up with all the smokescreens this time?! I can’t wait to hear Biden’s lame ass excuses for this lil shindig. I mean, damn they rolling in this bitch like they own this mofo! It’s almost like they heard the Gov’t was passing out free money to everyone except for it’s own citizens huh? At least wipe ya’lls feet off before coming in! I’m not a Trump or a Biden supporter, I’d rather toss Kanye into the mix & see what he can come up with now lol at this point, he can’t do any worse than the cluster ducks before him did! #DOBETTERMERICA #MERICA! ?

I can hear the hypocrisy through the screen. The mountains are calling. It's gonna get too hot for some. What comes around goes around.

Hello. Thanks for the detailed video. I have couple of questions:\n1. I am the representative and My parents are showing 10L INR together in their joint account. So in each application(mother & Father) should I write 5L (half) or 10L in both applications?\n2. Do I need to write two representative forms or one is enough for both ?\nHope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance.

Wait are they taking in Americans too? Lmk how would love to see what it’s like I hear about things people going out but wasn’t sure where now I know what’s the prices and processing? What kind of ppl are they looking for besides Dr and what not? Like what is it do y’all have better policy to own a home ? or something? First time seeing this and it’s like wow ? ?

This is happening to every western country. Someone is moving these poor people. God knows they have legitimate complaints about their home countries so, how can you not be sympathetic? On the other hand, this isn't a tenable way to manage the problem. When I hear stories of how Russia is using people to pressure the Polish border via Belarus, I can't help but wonder, are there other forces at work in some cases? \n\nThis is an issue that deserves the calm attention of all affected nations. Shame on the countries who help these people pack, literally or figuratively.

Y’all have no humanity left huh!? Seeing people fleeing extreme situations and y’all just worried that they don’t got visas! DIDNT YOU HEAR THAT EVEN WHEN YOU APPLY FOR ONE, YOU DONT GET IT!? They denied that woman and her 23 y/o daughter a way out a LEGAL way out. So what were they supposed to do? Sit there and wait to be killed!? SMH “but it’s an illegal crossing” *insert your dumb face here*

What is this registration I hear that's 4 illegal immigrants? These people come here and it does affect our us benefits jobs and housing..us citizens are still suffering yet limited help is available. Biden cares more about Ukraine and illegal immigrants than hw does about the American people ?

Everybody has a lot to say about the U.S. and Canada but you never really hear much criticism on the country that doesn't care about or provide for to begin with.

I'm sick of hearing people from my country(Colombia) saying that they are looking to get there because of guerrillas or war. People who suffer from those issues in my country are barely making to our own cities, not other countries. Be honest and tell the officers that you want better opportunities and money, not BS about the country you are leaving behind.

And yet you never hear migrants from Nigeria, Colombia, Haiti, the Congo, Russia, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, etc. described as fleeing from capitalism.

As a Canadian citizen (born and raised) those migrants from New York should move overseas (AKA our nextdoor overseas neighbour UK/EU). Canada is dealing with crisis right now (not only caused by not only both our Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and our Canadian Premier Doug Ford but also the Russian President that started the war that screwed up Canadian gas prices). \n\nWhat Americans hear about Canada is a split 50/50. Yeah Canada has free health care. But when you reach 25+ you have to pay your own.. unless you have insurance. Also in the province where I live tax percentage here is DANG 13%. It's DANG expensive because Canadian dollar is not as strong as the big 4 (USD/UK Pounds/Europe Euros/Japan Yen). The only province that pays little-to-none taxes is the province of Alberta Canada.\n\nAll-in-all I advise migrants that live in US: DO NOT live in Canada because Canada is a sh*t country. And you'll be screwed by both the Trudeau and Doug Ford Government.

Fleeing America I can understand but please don't try to illegally in winter. So heartbreaking to hear of families dieing just trying to find a better life. We are a huge country, room for all

hear russian accent

There is supposedly an agreement between Canada and the US called the Safe Third Country Agreement which means illegal immigrants are supposed to apply for asylum in the first country they come to. Unfortunately, because of Trump, the Canadian government doesn't trust any US government to give these asylum seekers a fair hearing. Second, this agreement only applies to official border crossings, not unofficial ones like Roxham Road. Trudeau is absolutely right in wanting to renegotiate the Safe Third Country Agreement.

That’s a damn invasion pure and simple!! Government is giving them a free phone , $1600.00 a month, housing and medical.. Costing taxpayers billions.. But you won’t hear this from the corrupt media..

THIS IS WHAT THE E FUCK HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK AROUND WITH OTHER PEOPLE GOVERNMENTS…AMERICANS DONT WANT TO HEAR THIS TRUTH!!!! YOU UNDERMINE THE LEADERS OF THAT COUNTRY DESTROY THEIR CURRENCY,INDUSTRIES…….

DEMOCRATS HELD A FAKE HEARING TO INVESTIGATE A FAKE INSURRECTION,\nIN ORDER TO COVER UP THE FAKE ELECTION OF A FAKE PRESIDENT.

They will be given Minister's permit until their hearing.\nThey'll be able to work here and make a living until then.\nLearn from us America.

good of you to show our side.\nall you hear from Americans is that it is Canada's fault.\nit's ridiculous how Americans point fingers at everyone but themselves

Quebec (montreal): Medical care, any public services rude, irresponsive and bureaucracy sucks n complicated (example: people wait for uncertainty just to renew their driving license), THE CRUELEST THING IN QUEBEC INCLUDING MONTREAL IS MEDICAL SERVICES (my god reminds me of third world countries i have ever been in), they will just ignore you heartlessly even if you have RAMQ (quebec heath care coverage), u have to have family doctor n u have to sign up to get one IN UNCERTAIN TIME, some they get family doctor within 3 years, others 5,7 years so on so forth so uncertain, so if u dont have family doctor u wont get treated, and if u have family doctor u will hve to stick to where your family doctor works at only, and to get appointment at some clinic they will put you on wait for some days or even weeks if u get the availability slots for u, if u got emergency u will wait 8,10,12 or 14 hours in pain. I feel bad for montreal citizen i swear, they r so patient with all of this while the tax is one of highest in canada. \n\nNow for rental (apartment in general), the check is crazy long it takes around 2 weeks just to rent, if u r lucky u will get taken if u r not then the landlord will take others, the 1 year lease means 1 year, so far to my experience in alberta like for example, 1 year lease but minimum period u have to stay usually around 3-6 months n after that u can leave with notice to the landlord to vacate the unit. \n\nBut in montreal, u have to find other person to transfer the lease, n if u found the person like i told u earlier, the landlord will check the person n the approval/ disapproval is by the landlord. I had to stay for one year living like hell cause the neighbors freaking so loud n partying every week end night till dawn. Couldn’t even have good sleep for work, so I called 911 two times, the police couldn’t do anything, yet the landlord n the building management kept on saying that they gave warning etc to that tenant, but they didn’t take any further action toward that, n i know they dont care, they care only for money. When i started to file complaint to the TAL(quebec rental board, they r irresponsive, complicated procedures, n in the end they dont solve any problem, on their site said that renter or landlord has to retain lawyer, the hell they r there for then? \n\nThe apartment building is tiny, tight old, the wall is thin, u can hear everything from your neighbour upstair, downstair n on your side too.. \n\nMONTREAL IS ALSO SO DENSED AND TIGHT, the main road so tight with cars parked on both sides of the road to ways only one lane on each way, cos mostly apartment building they dont provide parking spot, so they have to park on the road side, i feel bad for the bus driver i swear, with snow mounting on both side of the road makes driving bus is just so stressful, almost every neighbourhood looks dirty, trashes, people littering every where. Im Not complaining but that’s what it is, im living in montreal currently for more than one year but im just gonna move out of here lol

Of the democrat presidential candidates, those who are not Methuselahs are full-blown morons or towering mediocrities, and some are all three. Joe is teetering, and every time Kamala sees Joe is going on a trip, literally, where he has to climb steps into Air Force 1, she hustles down to the Oval Office and starts measuring the drapes. No one wishes ill on the President, except all the democrat contenders in secret. He just keeps going and going, incoherently and corruptly, but he refuses to stop and you know his wife, whose doctorate you should take very seriously because it is super impressive according to her, will Weekend at Bernie’s her desiccated husk of a hubby through Inauguration Day 2029 if she has to to stay parked at 1600 PA.\n\nIt's got to be frustrating for Kamala, who knows that her path to the presidency lies through a cruel twist of fate. But gay Pete Buttigieg is there too, circling, calculating, unaccountable, hoping to take a shot if the path gets cleared by destiny. And then there’s Gavin Newsom, who hopes to spread California’s promise of a hobo squatting on every porch to all of America. Hillary, who is turning 137, might get in – I hear it’s her turn. And people worry about Michelle being unbeatable if she decides to leave her shorefront, climate change-defying mansion to run, and that concern is proof that Americans have lost their faith in their fellow Americans.\n\nAnd we should lose our faith in our fellow Americans because there are a substantial number of them who will vote for any mutant, commie, weirdo, or clinical imbecile with a (D) after his/her/their/xir name. They elected John Fetterman knowing he was a barely cognizant ogre and then were stunned that he stopped doing the senator thing about a month in exactly as they were warned. But hey, he was open to killing babies and that’s what mattered !@!@!

Man I'm Latin but I don't think it's right were letting in millions of immigrants. I'm hearing a lot of Hispanic people saying the same exact thing. Plus cartels are in charge of the border they don't mention this on the media.

Oh hey, I hear walls work to secure borders.

It's always entertaining to hear Europeans tell actual Americans they're illegal immigrants.

Uh oh, you didn't rank BC number 1, they're going to be pissed! If you don't like BC as much as the people living in BC, you'll never hear the end of it ?\n\nI'm born and raised in Southern Ontario, I don't see myself living anywhere else in the country. That's not a knock on the other Canadian cities, I'm just a live events guy. Hamilton, Toronto, Buffalo, and Detroit are within a 3 hour drive from where I live, and provide all the major sports and major bands.

My wife has been hear for 4 years and we still have to take her to walk-in clinics, Dr. in my town wont take you if you are not 100% English speaking so we drive 80 kl. to the city to a walk-in clinic.

Nice to hear u

Many of the people here in the comment box trying to explain how cringy Canada is even who born and raised in Canada! I am pretty sure those people never have been to a country like Bangladesh, average part of India. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even imagine to write down such a bad words about their country. Here in south Asia, average people literally beg to their boses for their sallery unless its a high-end job. Its weird to hear I know but the reason behind is the combination of inflation and instability of work-life balance. As being raised in Bangladesh though an American I can tight the difference. You wont never feel it sitting there, atleast have a summer break to south asia. Good day

More Nigerians need to hear this candid analysis. People do not know this to make an informed decision. Great perspectives.

I'm told by my fellow Americans in the United States that Canada is great then I hear someone from Canada and they say never go there.

Very informative video Paaji. Although I was looking forward to hear your and Jasmine Ji's wage :P

all i hear is white guilt !, how do you expect diversity at the top when most immigrants are first generation who arent skilled enough or spent enough time to go up the ladder. i am a first generation immigrant from Africa and i dont expect anything to be given to me.

I am a dual citizen. I was born and raised in Canada but eventually moved to the US. I am glad because my pension is now in US Dollars. Both countries have their pluses and minuses. Unfortunately, both countries have horrible leaders. Wokeism and Progressivism are destroying our nations. The rest of the world is laughing at us. Our own worst enemy is our own ways. We are violating people's freedom of speech because we can't handle hearing a differant opinion. Both countries have so much potential. Our governments are wasting huge amounts of tax money, causing unessessary inflation. They are getting us further in debt, which will affect future generations.

I can hear an acute Eastern European/Russian accent on you. Remember, you are free to criticize Canada, as its an Anglo country and culture and its values laws very much allow for that, in fact encourage that. But also remember, that you come from some third world shithole where criticizing the country you live in can and in most cases definitely will have serious repercussions. Not to mention, I hope all your criticisms of Canada are of Canada standing alone and not relative to anywhere else because hey, its still the number 1 or number 2 highest standard of living nation in the world.

I’m French, Irish, and Ukrainian. If that’s not enough to hate me, I look native (I’m not native but look is enough), and hung like a black dude. In the military, I had a boss who tried to kill me on six occasions and tried to destroy me on four others (by destroy I mean jail, kicked out, and never get a government job). I have many examples throughout my career of systematic racism. Then there’s institutional racism. Incredible stories there. Im looking for the best avenue to bring it to light but believe most stories that you hear. Now that I’m retired, in the public, it’s about 60% incidences every time I go out.

I knew Drake, Justin Bieber, Ryan Reynolds, Celine Dion, and of course Charlotte Dobre are Canadian. I forgot Ryan Gosling was. The rest don't surprise me, the problem is I don't hear the accent because I'm Minnesotan.

2:20 Canadians aren't the one's to hear about the lies and lost hope, it's the people of India, Pakistan, China, Myanmar and the other Countries who's citizens are falling for this scam.
