The sad thing is people put their kids through this shit

We have people in poverty choosing to have children while crossing the border in search of a better life. STOP HAVING KIDS.

First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. \n\nWe are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink—not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. \n They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. \nI live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. \n\nI’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. \n\nI see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said.\n\nMuch love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

Bruh stop rushing our borders you are not allowed in period. Stop leaving ur kids at our border too cause that’s irresponsible as hell

Sorry to say lil black lady but, there’s racism here in Ontario too just because it’s multi cultural and they hide it well within institutions. It’s called institutional racism. Atleast with Alberta they’ll let you know to your face, in Ontario they just won’t hire you for certain jobs and make you their little worker bee, their token black kid ? get a grip people!

If I lived in their country I would do ANYTHING to give my kids a better chance at life‼

You know why they're doing it you just don't want to admit it the 1% will still hire every illegal immigrant that gets across the border for pennies on the dollar because lazy Americans would rather collect welfare white and black than go to work and earn an honest dollar.... I can't find a white kid in Palm Beach Gardens Florida that will dump 8 buckets of horse feed which takes 5 minutes for $15.... America is the most spoiled Nation on Earth so at 71... With seven herniated discs two broken ribs and a bum left ankle I am still feeding my horses all by myself unloading all the hay and feed..etc.. I would do anything to hire a hard-working illegal and gladly pay them $25 an hour... Because the best worker I ever had was an illegal Guatemalan saddle maker.

So fix it! 1. Decide to be the BEST in science and engineering. 2. Stop teenage pregnancy. 3. Demand fathers take a role in their child's lives. 4. Help your kids with their homework. 5. Realize you are the wealthiest people of African decent living anywhere in the world! 6. Stop giving in to the victimhood. You are only hurting yourselves.

“Why? Why are we seeing this right now?” ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?!? It’s bc Biden is our President!!!

Man the us is down with cheap labor, but aint nothing free in america so they continue to allow it it wont be a usa itll be mexicos way that cheap labor mess gone back fire n its gone be usa fault...im gettin me n my kids passports ✌?

AMERICA NEEDS TO START PUTTING THEIR BUTTS BACK IN CAGES. It sounds harsh but if they basically know that they will be walking themselves and their kids straight into a cage…maybe they won’t come. My mom MADE me vote by mail for Biden because I lived in her home at the time…lol, I laugh but it really sucks that I felt like I couldn’t choose my own vote.

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.

Finally the truth about this ruthless business of making money off poor kids who are sold a dream of good life and send to live a life which is actually a nightmares. I was a student in Canada and seen this first hand. Students packed in rooms and colleges cancelling semesters for new students. This is all true. Even the best colleges do that. Every Indian who wants to go to Canada take this as a warning plz. And for me i came back to India and setup my business here and never wish to go back to Canada except one day with my family only to visit. Hope this msgs helps ppl who are confused. Take care

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.

This is on Biden and why I will never vote for him. This is totally unnecessary and dangerous. They are being let in, knowing full well well we don't have the housing necessary, nor medical care and schooling for kids. Not enough food and clothing. We are letting the home country of these people off the hook for caring for their own people. The border should be temporarily closed.

I’ve been saying this for 40 years during my travels in Canada. My kids mom is white and from Toronto.I definitely saw issues going back to the seventies. People at the border coming and going always made it difficult to pass through.

Are you kidding me? You really don't understand why this is happening?! Omg.. ? blows my mind ppl don't understand what's happening. Watch news somewhere else for God's sake

This video sounds like my exact words speaking back to me , I have so much respect for my home country after being in Canada for only a year and I feel like my husband and I have accomplished nothing ! Our relationship with our kids has changed drastically because of depression . I am sorry I did not take advice from my mother that the grass is not always greener on the other side! \n\n\nThe insurance especially is so ridiculous compared to where I came from I spend $430 a month on car insurance, back home I literally spent $300 for the entire year !! You are just a walking dollar sign!!

In Toronto Ontario Canada we are attacked everyday 40 times by ambulances fire trucks and police sirens and then they come back with motorcycles and do more sound attacks and its beside our kids schools \nPlease protest they have no noise zones beside schools and daycare parks and hospitals \nWhat we are living is completely unacceptable

I just saw a video of a homeless family of 4 living out on the streets these are American kids, the situation in the US is so bad right now too

Assalam o alikum brother \ni m Quran teacher if anyone wants to learn Qur'an with tajweed nd hifz etc for kids and females contact me jazakillah khair

Bhai ap k uper b FIR thi thank God ap pehly Nikal ay \n\nJust kidding ? stay safe ❤

watchin sham idrees in your vlog is so wholesome ,want to see Ayeshas meetup with Froggy and the kids .

Meanwhile we have United citizen families homeless on the streets with kids we have military veterans homeless on the streets we have elderly seniors homeless on the streets

I'm sorry but HELL NAW!!!! We have kids and ppl over here having major surgeries and can't even get help or assistance for the first time ever needing help like me and my family right now!. It's just not fair!!! What the Hell man!?? Why doesn't America take care of home first!!?? Us Americans should always come first!!!! #SMDH We are suffering enough ??

This is crazy. I can’t pay my own bills because I paid too much taxes. Unbelievable. My own kids can’t find a job. ?

Why come come here to stand OUTSIDE in the HOT SUN, with your little babies and totters to BEG for our money, THAT WE AS AN AMERICAN BARLEY MAKING IT HERE OURSELVES. “WE DON’T HAVE IT TO JUST GIVE IT AWAY!”, so you can turn around and get in your nice car and go to your home, while your husband on the next block doing the same. Biden ain’t worried about if they make it over he probably sitting back laughing at how crazy this country going down to ?, and to be honest MOST of them are SOOOOO FREAKING DIRTY, don’t clean up behind them selves, kid’s run around in the store an the parents don’t say a damn word. I’m just saying “TRUMP!” did a DAMN GOOD JOB of keeping this nonsense from happening…

Trump needs to needs to come back , It’s to many people are with a 3 or 6 kids, they need to stop

This is disgusting. They are all going to be homeless so idk wtf they wanna come here for. We cant even pay the $2,300.00 2 bedroom apartment rent now thanks to Biden, my rent uaed to be $1,500!! And i paid it all thru covid. These fuckers are going to get all konds of government funding and our kids get nothing.. our VETS ARE HOMELESS!! THIS CANNOT GO ON! BRING TRUMP BACK PLEASE

That’s because most Americans have NEVER experienced immigration issues at the border, or been separated from their kids by border security guards, so they don’t know how these people are feeling because they’ve never been in that situation or walked in their shoes. Sorry, but some Americans don’t appreciate what a good life they have.\n\nMaybe weed out all the ones that shouldn’t be in Congress. That would be a great place to start……..???

The answer is to have more kids! We're still not overpopulated!!

It’s usually all dudes who “fear for their safety “ but leave their wife and kids where their from. Then get all kinds of benefits and a job where they send the money back home. How’s that help our economy?why don’t thousands of them get together and take out the cartels or whatever they’re scared of? Our kids and grandchildren are gonna have it rough it’s gonna make our county worse and worse

Omg they kids on their necks

If I have a house and my kids are malnourished, no bed, no decent clothing, then some strangers try to barge in and DEMAND some food, a place to sleep , and want me to take care of their children. Im taking the gun out.\nFrom a non-american point of view. Take care of your internal problems first before you start worrying about other countries problems.Just block them off, you have the largest military in the world. Now use them to actually protect your homeland for real this time.

when i was a kid in highschool i used to say they should be allowed to come here without a green card bc they are fleeing from war/death/searching for a better life but now i realize we have so many of our own people struggling to survive we need to deal with our own problems as a country before we can let other ppl in our country

There is a very simple answer to this and it can be solved overnight, But the real people that run this world have an agenda, They don’t need our input we are the sheep, So from one Sheep to another here is the fix. \n\n(1) Pass a law that if you hire an undocumented worker you go to hard labor jail overnight, Your wife goes to jail, And your kids go to jail regardless of age, Punishment for the stupidity and greed of your parents, for a knowledge of hiring undocumented workers, and you knowing taxes are not being paid, Plus cheap labor, And the reason your kids should go to jail is to end your seed, And ending you blood line will end corruption. \n\n2) If you or your corporation, needs foreign workers, Apply to the United States government from work authorization visas, This way, the migrants can work in the United States, pay his taxes and be treated fairly, this shit would end overnight.

Mannn white supremacy is all over!!!..I don’t trust them white folks with any once of my blood!!!..they do be sneaky/passive aggressive on they treat us aswell!!!…but I see right thru that like scott tape!!!…what’s really F’up when this white women have interracial children then they end up callin the father & nigga!!!..I’ve seen cause it’s sad cause if your callin him that than you’ll callin your kids that!!!!

Want there way noooo respect everything free we have too work hard for our family and don't get houses fee food free don't work more kids easy life not for Americans look now we have enough problems here hunger feed our children in America veterans homeless so much drug drug drugs

My family is half Mexican and my cousin in El Paso got her kids and left to stay at another relatives house because she didn't feel safe there anymore, but her husband had to stay behind because that's where his job is.

He is a sanatani Sikh , he is from a community whom you can trust with weapon .\n\nA true sikh will die protecting a helpless person , rather than shooting kids with guns.\n\nJai Shiv shankar.

Please Help the kids and family members come to America is god let them come in God will never do this ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

If our leaders gave a crap our military would be there. It's another distraction guys. Fight for the kids in school being targeted by the disgusting rain or false pride movement please

I'm white, both my parents are white and they, we didn't receive much better treatment here either. I think cronyism is a more accurate description than racism. \nCanadians seem to only accept those within their small, insular groups. You will notice that Canada supports multiculturalism but that means that there are thousands of cliques operating inside a whole. As for WS or microaggressions, don't worry as they will be overtaken by other groups which will won't even bother with being subtle.\nPeople have come here through legitimate channels or across at Roxham Road with the polite RCMP bellhops but failed to research thoroughly the reality of this land. I have talked to or read from newcomers who complain that it's cold and there's no culture. No kidding. (Try living in a logging camp with 300 inches of rain a year.) Suffice to say these newbies are less than thrilled.\nNot sure what to say other than this is the reality and it's quite unlikely to change no matter what Trudeau or others do. ?‍♀️?‍♀️

Go home. When something happens to them,. I don't care, it's there fault for risking their kids life's too do this. We need to protect America. Fight for your own country instead of running away. Take your country back from gang's, yes alot of people will die but at least they are fighting for their kids future. But instead they just run away from there country. Soft people

> .What people do not realise is!! If you are inlegal YOU CAN NOT WORK WITH OUT A S.S. NUMBER. They need a social security card for working. They will steal your ID or your kids ID. maybe go welfare. IRS it will come after you. to pay their work taxes. 8 years a go. IRS want me to pay $12,000.00. Because on other State some one was using my S.S. card number. ( 2,500 miles from me ) The goverment people is letting them in the country!! But they are not given them permits to work etc.. < .

People got to be. Careful!!! They have some border patrol officer that will be more than happy just to unload a rifle against immigrants!!! Don't give them an scuse to do what they really want to do with immigrants kill as many as. They can. As quickly as they can!!! Be careful!! People please don't put your kids through this!!!

Why are we seeing this? Are you kidding me? Biden caused this and he wanted this to happen. All of you pathetic democrats wanted this. You’re so desperate to destroy this country you want to import voters at any cost.

There is no REASON WHY SHOULD VENEZUELANS whom THEMSELVES put HUGO CHAVEZ in POWER and before he passed left NICOLAS MADURO in POWER have any EXCEPTIONS into ENTERING THE UNITED STATES . Look what is happening in COLOMBIA , PERU , CHILE , ECUADOR , BRAZIL , the CRIMINATILY , AND FREE LOADING , AND MANY KIDS THEY HAVE have turned those countries into a total mess , more so than EVER BEFORE .

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…

They tired of having their kids stolen and trafficked for sex. It's a shame it had to come to this
