We need to take care of our citizens first

I’m from Vancouver bc and it upsets me that this site keeps saying oh we need skilled workers not labourers I’m a skilled worker born and bred in bc 10 years experience painter can’t get a job unless I get 10$ less per hour than 2014 and carpentry same thing. The employers want only Indian and Mexican workers because there cheap. This Friday I’m going homeless with my dog because I can’t find work or affordable housing. Government saying we need skilled workers is a scam they want cheap workers no sense of safety or Canadian culture. How did the government let this happen we’re fucked also how did wages not go up when cost of living doubled I don’t care about being able to buy a 1.5 million dollar house but the locals should be able to get by

We can, and should, pray for people. But OUR country needs to take care of IT’S CITIZENS!!!!

you can blame these past four administrations who have been tearing down and ruining this country. we do not need illegals in here who won the enter into this country are entering it illegal in other words breaking the laws the first step they take when they push themselves and demand to be allowed to come in and be given everything. I don't think so. America First there's plenty of people in this country that we need to help. let every country take care of their own people.

I'm so frustrated that I don't want them treated badly. But these people act like we owe them something. The hell with them, we can't enjoy our own country. We are not going to feed, house, and give them free medical care. Cut everything off. We need to care for our own citizens.?

It's because the left side made it acceptable for anyone and everything to come over to the USA without no repercussions. USA needs to take care of USA citizens

Their country doesn’t care enough about them coz they won’t take these people back. Proves to show we need to make crossing that border a worthy effort for anyone and legally at that. End of story. Period.

This is an invasion! We need to deploy more military at the border. We cannot take care of the world. Americans are tired of seeing our own as second class citizens. What we are spending on illegals should be spent on Americans in need. This is the fault of the Democratic Party attempting to build a permanent voter base. In doing so, they have shown contempt for Americans.

We are seeing what has been going on for years. We can't support these countries citizens. They should go home, and take care of their families there. Enough INVASION, it needs to stop!!!

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

Thank u Trump for shutting the boarder! If they continue, they need to start Pew Pew-ing and people will stop! They want over here for the freebies. If u can take care of yourself with housing and food along with medical, don't come. Come in legally!

Need no migranta anymore? Start making more children than 1.32 per family. give birth to at least 2.2 children, spend billions to child care, schools, more doctors, universities. \nGo ahead. \nBut no, Canada takes already trained people from outside. Why should it bother about such minor things like raising own children?

The globalist ordered them to over run it for political reasons. Because it was heavily organized when, scheduled caravan from mexico. They don't care if they get hurt spiritually or bodily. The globalist need to be held accountable for ordering this. Racketeering invasion. Ngos handle these people. Those people are given false promises. Their handlers are illegal and the immigrants also are willing to be illegal. God speaks about the lawless ones in the bible having a hard road.

We don’t need food and who cares that we have a trade surplus with Columbia. You’re just gonna have to pay more money for your bananas and your other tropical fruits or start eating American fruits.

? u guys haven't changed. F Colombia and anything from Columbia Americans don't need or want their products! CONSUMERS DON'T CARE! and they don't have a monopoly on bananas lol. America is back and we don't want these socialist communist countries products. And that goes for China. They don't have a monopoly to tell us what they will n won't do! We tell them what we'll accept. Don't like it? Too bad SO SAD! Get a clue CNN

Have you ever stop and think about the the dictatorship that is in the USA .most people don't even ? The system here we vote but do our vote counts the only vote that counts is the electerol vote and who tells the electerol vote how to to vote not the people the corporations the elites the 1% remember when bush run against gore in the 90s gore won the popular vote but bush won the electoral vote at the end the day Republicans and Democrats serve the 1% only and no one cares for the poor and middle class we need to vote more independent how is socialism bad because they care for the poor and middle class we need to stop listening to false propaganda they feed us that socialism don't work because it does... did you know that corporations pay taxes in Mexico and the new socialist partie in Mexico don't do bail outs for banks and corporations when the USA gov has come to you and say you are going to loose your house and your car don't worry we pay it for you Never but the USA gov do it all the time with corporations and banks with our tax payer money how is that right!!

They need to receive their nationals.. Petro its just looking any issue to get into an argument with Trump. All this mess is also Petro’s fault allowing people to cross illegally to other countries. If we are going to take care of the Colombian nationals that comes with a price tag.. sorry we already paid enough for illegal immigrants!!

They need to stop this now We have our own problems here kids veterans and homeless We do not take care of our own , I am a widow i can't even eat and these people get everything

Good! America needs to start taking care of its it's people FIRST, we have citizens of all races and religious backgrounds and they matter! We can only do so much and it has to be done the right way! We cant open borders and continue to destroy our country!!!

I don’t blame Columbia for not allowing those flights to land. He should have had a plan in place before he started having ICE pick ppl up. Trump is an idiot and he has no clue what he’s doing. He’s going to cause a civil war in this country. Ppl need to wise up and shut this shit show down. \n\nTrump assumes he can do whatever he wants to do. This was not a thought out plan. You can’t just expect countries to open their doors to criminals being dropped off after being away for yrs to your doorstep. If they are criminals committed a crime, put their assets in jail in the country where they reside. \n\nHow about all those criminals, 1500 that Trump just let go in the U.S. now he wants to act like he cares and he just did this to police, lawyers, judges and family members of the ppl whom were doing their job, list love ones and fear for their lives. Ppl best wake up and start protesting peacefully b/4 we have a civil war!!!!

Trump supporters don't give af, they don't care, the only thing they care about is if he offends people they hate, that's it, they'll spend $20 on a loaf of bread if needed, gas can be $20 per gallon, they don't care, they're waiting for him to attack black and brown people, that's their food and fuel.

Not the responsibility of struggling Americans to take care of other countries or people fleeing from them. We are not their slaves. We have enough homeless already and not enough homes and the last thing we need to do is destroy more land to make more cities for all these immigrants. More cities means more polution, no way around it. We cant absorb the whole world and we're already past the point of living in balance with the llanet naturally.

If you get deported as an illegal immigrant, you should be able to take your children with you. What about us who came here legally and we paid to get our citizenship and went through so much processing to get here legally while others can just cross the borders illegally and get citizenship somehow. They were not screened if they have criminal records and they didn't go through a health inspection like we did. The law is law and it should always be implemented, no exceptions. I have met someone who was not a U.S. citizen but she gave birth on an airplane above the U.S. territory and her son became an automatic U.S. Citizen. I thought that was weird. The children should maintain the same citizenship as their parents so they will not be separated. Birthright citizenship has divided and dislocated families. This law meant that the U.S. government will take the baby away from the parents because they have no citizenship and put their children in the Foster Care Home Systems? That doesn't even make sense to separate a family, this law is a home wrecker. It needs to be abolished ASAP.

Why do they want to be where they are not wanted? They will only live in fear of deportation. I think all of Europe and the West need to pull all aide to tbese countries. They dont care about the people whos countries they invade.

Just because you want to come to America doesn't mean you get to. It is a privilege not a right. You must be able to support yourself and your family and not be a burden to Americans. We can't save the whole world. We need to take care of our elderly, homeless and veterans first.

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

Range of responses here is just astonishing. The basic fact is that no one gives a shit about Indians especially Western countries. They'll stay racist as long as it suits them. And the thing about indians misbehaving, that is just contextual. That's not part of the larger problem. Larger problem is the government itself-if it cares enough for its people then it needs to do right by them.

Lived in Canada for almost 40 years. Worked in USA for 5 years 25 years ago. I did make a lot more money in USA then, luckily, I was in my 20s and almost never seen a doctor in my 5 years in the USA. \nThank God I didn't get into any accident while there. \n\nIn general, I observed many people in the USA are not good neighbors. Simple observation, ex you drive and merge into a lane in a busy SF Bay Highway you need to fight hard to get into a lane. In BC, Canada, merging lanes is very orderly, each vehicle takes turn merging into a lane one entering from one lane and then another vehicle from another lane with respect and consideration. \nIn the USA, I think it is this brutal mentality translates into policy in health care and education, you are not responsible to help your community in any way and take while you can for yourself.

Poeple Poeple tak care yr kids they need full tak care of all selfs??

I hope Trump arms every single one of those border agents and gives them all immunity if they need to use them. I am sick of this. We have plenty of homeless and sick people here that the government cares less about. I hope Biden rots in hell.

The fed and states need to stop making it easy by giving them free medical care, housing, food. Our govt should be giving citizens help!

Asylum seekers Gov Office should be more careful and more responsive and fast. Also, better filters to grant asylum to people that really don’t need it

Mexico needs to take care of them.

Don't care. Mexico has allowed this and cartel violence for too long. People need to start fighting for their country.

If Mexico actually decides to take care of it's people, why would they want to come to the USA? Mexico needs to step up, take care of their citizens and secure their southern border.

I have heard the average just to have baby in the US is 7-10K not including prenatal care, here in Canada it is zero…\nI have been pregnant 3 times, sadly lost my first 2, and I have had 2 complete knee replacements and several spinal cord surgeries…I would be dead for sure if I lived in the States, here I have paid nothing, I have insurance and that pays for my medication I need to take. I don’t know how people manage down there if you have health issues.

I am sorry we need take care our people frist. Go your country.

Why are bright, young people leaving the country? India needs to take care of its future.

I think the Canadian government needs to be a little more careful with the type of immigrants that enter the country. I don't see it as a problem to have Chinese, Japanese, Indians and other people immigrating to Canada. But I think it is also necessary to attract more people from Europe to live in the country. Canada is a country with a white majority and, if they are not careful, the country's demographics could change a lot over the years. European ancestry needs to remain alive in the country. Especially British and French. That is Canada's identity.

This is why we need Trump to clean this up!! It's a disaster. And where are they all gonna go? How they going to make money and who pays for their care?? We do! Insane. Just so upsetting

Immigration needs to be lowered. Only vetted people should be allowed. Must have similar values. Must be allowed only a certain amount from each country. \nCut back on refugees. We can't save the world if we can't take care of our own.

This is insanity. I am a liberal and I find this incredibly upsetting. They have to stop these illegal entries into the U.S. This has to stop. In New York alone the city schools are overwhelmed and there is a housing shortage. This has to stop! We need to take care of our own citizens.

Or if you need more than a $1000000 of care and then no care and you can't buy insurance.

Let us In ! We want your money ! They don't care about becoming citizens. They just want the money . They need the military down there.

Canada is in crisis, politically, economically and financially. Our health care system is hanging on by a thread. The Crime Minister Justa Traitor has served his WEF masters well in dismantling this once great nation. We are hardly in a position to except legal immigrants never mind illegal ones. To anyone who wants to jump the line, break the rules and take up space otherwise desperately needed by law abiding, hard working, life long tax paying Canadian citizens I say, no way Jose!

Poojet everywhere to shit on street now canda need to be careful

This is called…forgetting where you came from. People like this need to be careful. Because you never know what’s going to happen day by day

Despite all of this, Canada will always need foreign workers. Born canadians are too lazy to do certain work and aristocrtic thinking, especially certain gens, this makes sense. Canada will always needs immigrants. Lets talk about the barrenness as well. If born canadians are not bringing children in the world, where will canada be 20 years from now?....they care more about dogs. Everytime i see a stroller theres a canine sitting there...

Lmao white people don't care if you are a doctor or nurse or computer tech ??? India needs to wake up and grow rich with your alliance BRICS+. Why be in the richest alliance and not work with them?

The reality of being a muslim is that you poison everything around you, the Jews could make the desert bloom, the Gazans created a shit-hole, received billions and billions in foreign aid which they used to set up a terrorist organization, received/demanded free water, electricity, fuel, and work permits from Israel, and then bombed, shot, beheaded and raped in return.\n\nBy their deeds shall ye know them. They repaid Europe’s hospitality in the same way, as did they Jordon and Lebanon. They are second-class human beings, manimals, who are steeped in jealousy and bitterness, whose whole religion is steeped in hatred, misogyny, violence and vengeance. They are a people who were offered a two state solution five times and refused it but then had the pure arrogance to beg, demand and take, take, take from Israel. They were given water, fuel, electricity, medical care, their sewage taken care of, work permits given to their citizens so that they could work in Israel. Nothing would satisfy them but the complete annihilation of the Jewish race.\n\nGet rid of them from Europe, we’d appreciate the lack of bombings, rape, crime, gangs and the constant drip, drip, drip of their islamic vitriol. They are constantly protesting, rioting, and demanding more, more, more.They have proven time and again that they are nothing but moochers, murderers, rapists, criminals and thieves, let us treat them as such and ban them from our shores. The peace and quiet would be wonderful, send them to which ever unlucky ‘stan would have them, and leave them to rot in their own hate and vitriol. They are nothing but a cancer on every country that offered them succour, the time has come to both recognise and admit that fact, if we are too afraid to do so we will suffer the fate of the countries that took them in and offered them sanctuary. In Europe Sweden, France, Germany and the UK come to mind, in the Middle-East Jordan and Lebanon.\n\nWe are fools if we refuse to learn from history, would Europe welcome back the German Nazis again and give them free rein AND the financial aid necessary to rerun their genocidal drive to annihilate the Jews, the Roma, The Disabled, The Gay etc? I think not so then why do we accept the Arabs/muslims and their similar hate-filled philosophy while, unlike with Nazi Germany, also giving them a home in our countries, giving them free housing, education, medical care, financial help, all of which they repay with terrorism and worse and all at the cost of our own people who're in similar need. Send them home and blockade the Mediterranean. We don’t need them and never will.
