I'm from Croatia, I'm also white and I have a question, what do the black people think, are people treated better in Africa then they are in Canada or USA? If they are, why don't they make Africa great to live in, why emigrate?

I don't blame them . They are treated better than the people who've lived here forever. They get housing , before our homeless, that's horrible ?.

my sister lived in canada for 10 years and this is back in the late eighties ,she said this is the norm . they tryed to break her but it didnt work . it was allways an issue with those ws\n . she never backed down she allways fought back . island people dont fk around .

Folks, I need to educate many for a second. When you immigrate to this country you DO NOT become a citizen when you get legal clearance. You can become a permanent resident at best which means you can live, work and do most other things here legally. You DO NOT get to vote or work in government agencies as a lawful permanent resident. To become a citizen you have to wait a minimum of 3 years, or more depending on your permanent resident status, to then apply for citizenship. You then apply for the citizenship application and if accepted the process requires you to take a test and go through a series of questions about U.S. history and government knowledge in an interview that you need to pass, before you are awarded citizenship. Through this process you are SUPPOSED to be committing yourself to the United States of America as someone who denounces your allegiance to your old country and is now pledging your allegiance to the U.S. This is now your home country and you treat it as such. You are now an AMERICAN, not a whatever from wherever that just lives in America. It should be a big deal and one to be proud of. I know people that have been here for 25 years as a permanent resident and they still have no desire to become a citizen. They have lived off of this country, raised families in this country, worked and benefitted from this country and still align with their old country and are completely amiss to what it means to become a U.S. citizen. There is a reason that only citizens are allowed to vote! Because you should have an allegiance to America and should vote accordingly and not be allowed to work in our governmental agencies for the same reason. Legal status and citizenship are NOT the same.

I don’t understand why these people want to come to such a racist, sexist, transphobic, etc, country. BLM and LGBTQ keep saying how America is the worst but millions of people risk their lives to come here. I don’t get it

People need to realize that this is not a perfect world that we are living in.

LOL at her thinking she’s making a groundbreaking discovery. Young people are dumb as hell, I tell you. Stop seeking white people’s approval, quit whining and align yourself with people making power moves. Your mindset is what is holding you back - racism is worldwide, not sure what point you are trying to make. \n\nP.S before you come for me I’m black and live and thrive in Edmonton.

I understand those coming from Venezuela are actually coming here from literally nothing. But in all honesty America is a bad place to come to. There are so many people living homeless on the streets in every major city. And welfare is not as helpful as they used to be.

It’s funny how you always have a group of Black people that just work hard,take care of their families and live peaceful lives. On the other hand you always have that loud group of blacks that’s always complaining about racism and not being consistent.??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

There are many reasons and many who problems. You can’t just narrow this down to 1 of anything. One problem is for decades children were brought up to believe that when they turn 18 or 21 or when they get a full time job or graduate college it’s time to leave the nest . Why? So you can live the life of a bachelor or bachelorett? Party all night or get drunk and do most things you wouldn’t want your parents to know about. Pay outrageous rental fees for some place you’ll never own. Go into debt and in many cases spend years paying off student loans. Yeah, sounds like a good time. The habit should be if parents have room, stay home, save your money and allow your parents to help build that generational wealth. Pay a small rent to help out a little if you want to and your parents accept it. Some people , if they can marry and stay with their family, at least for a few years. This builds a stronger bond with parents and grandparents. The way the last 40 or 50 years has gone has destroyed family and their are many reasons why. Some of the European traditions are smart and we should never have turned away from them

I don't think they're doing this to be charitable to families, none of this even appears to be normal over the years. They can't house them, or our own people. Something tells me they're waiting to use these people for something, and they got no clue what they're really crossing over into. There's just no conclusion you could come to that's just being charitable if it's messing up all of our lives no matter who you are.

Sad that every self respecting human that can be isnt there in some capacity blowing these people away that are shitting on every legal migrant and naturalized and native born Americans right to live freely and comfortably in their country. But at least they do have nice new clothes and things to start with here as they invade leaving their own country in the shit for their patriots to defend and improve. \nYes we'll take your weak, your tired and your hungry. Nature will sort them accordingly.

I feel horrible for people dedicated their lives to becoming US citizen and all the sacrifices they made to just see something like this happen. I feel even worse for what's happening to females on this trip here.... This is wrong on so many levels

Ya...Maybe USA and Western countries will decide one day to stop putting economic embargos and stupid kind of restrictions on other countries without any reason , so people can live peacefully and have food in their countries. Plus, Soros and globalists devils are smiling now...this is all going according to the plan....

Where do these people plan to live? I was born in USA, and I had a hard time finding housing myself.

When you say that Canada is more liberal than America, for who, though? They are not more liberal for blacks they are more liberal for the white race, period. Blacks are looked down on in almost every nation of the world. It is so wrong and so sad! It's a shame that what has gone on 400 years ago during slavery and the civil rights era has come back full circle. Hatred against us won't stop. And i'm sad for this generation of young black people who have to deal with it head-on and for the older generation who has to re-live this ugly monster all over again. Lord, please help us!?

They have the right to not want black people there. Every place on earth that black people live is a mess. Any nice neighborhood black people move into en mass turn into a slum. We don’t care for rules and order. There’s a reason why when black people make it, we move away from other black people. Stop complaining and start fixing our community.

That’s no news.A lot a people of color think Canada is all that! I’m American and I rather deal with it in my homeland. No desire to visit or live around the snowbirds elsewhere.

These people were sooo violent they were trying to out do the Muslim extremists with the cruelty of their videos to a point that live leak had to shut down. Now joe biden has let the most violent people on earth into America, so violent the country's they came from had an epidemic of the murder of woman and children and now they could be your neighbor! The irresponsib voting of Democrats have endangered all of our lives now and thai is an emergency. Prepare for what I'm calling an epidemic of violent crime

What Americans do not understand is that there are people in other Countries who are starving because their Countries have gone bankrupt, or their government system has collapsed in those Countries. Venezuela, Brazil, Greece, Pakistan, Argentina, Haiti, Cuba, and a whole list of more of which media is not telling the American people. America itself has put those living here at risk, for refugees to come in in drones, because the more illegals they let come into America, and allow to get their citizenship, the more individuals they have who can vote either Republican or Democrat. Why, while Trump was President, did he not finish building the wall to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants from coming in over the border, when he had the resources to complete the wall on his watch? And why is Biden and Kamala just sitting back and allowing these illegal immigrants to enter the US in herds? Because there is another election coming up soon, and they have to allow these scenes to be portrayed in order to help shape the minds of the voter here in the US. The American people need to wake up and stop fighting against each other, and work together to help vote for a Presidentsl Candidate who will actually do something to change the narrative at the Border and to help the American people here in the US first. What a mess on both watches, democrats and republicans!??

Africa has plenty of nations for black people, common sense should tell you to live there.

Wow! That was wild. Here in San Ysidro everything was calm and actually civil. People waited their turn. I live nearby so I saw it with my own eyes. People at las Americas outlet would pass by food to them and the officers gave them the food. I was an immigrant 35 years ago I am now a us citizens and although I love the USA, I will always remember the struggles I had to go through. The hunger, the injustice, the reject and the cultural assimilation, learning a new language, and work work work until I couldn’t no more. All those efforts paid off and I believe EVERYONE has a right to have a better life. I have family members in Canada and Europe who are also immigrants and also go through these struggles. If they don’t make it to the USA, I hope the Mexican government takes advantage of this immigration influx, after all, the USA is great because of us. It’s time other countries take advantage and advance as well ??

These poor people are running for their lives from a country ruled by the cartels. There's only one reason this is happening and I won't spell it out for anyone here.

She’s ?correct, be it liberal or conservative, racial hate and discrimination against African or black people is something that is built into the western culture. I live here in California, a liberal state as it claimed, but the racial discrimination,terrorism, gang stalking, psychological warfare, harassment, bullying, discriminatory targeting, surveillance assaults ( 24hr ground and aerial tracking both inside my house and everywhere in public), and the high level smear campaigns I have suffered for over 7 years since 2016 till today in the hands of police and their domestic terrorist organizations that operate as security agencies is something unimaginable, alarming and quite destructive to have deal with in one’s life. I hope our people listen to her warning. if only they know what I have suffered with my children having everything ruined in my life for moving into a house in a neighborhood I shouldn’t have moved to as a black person and driving a car they believed I don’t deserve to drive as a black woman, as such they criminalized me, targeting and and terrorizing me ever since everywhere till today even after I have filed complaints several times with videos of the attacks the police and these domestic terrorist groups are carrying out on me to several agencies that deals with racial issues , discrimination, civil rights violations etc including the Governor’s office, FBI, DOJ, etc, and have gone to the police for them to do background checks on me to clear my name thinking they could be mistaking me for someone else and they have confirmed to me several times that I am innocent and clean, but they wouldn’t leave me alone. Instead they have continued in their illegal surveillance and terrorist attacks they are carrying out on me which makes me believe I’m being racially targeted and the ongoing attacks on me are malicious and racially motivated for no other reason than I’m black and African.

Its a pity in this 21st century still experiencing racism? Why is it the most civilised people lives like uncivilised? I am so disappointed I thought America and Canada should have lived a free - racism society than any other countries across the globe because black people has made America to be where it is today, it is very ironic we black people in Africa we live in harmony with every race you can mentioned it whether Indians, Chinese, white people, etc and nobody complains that they are being discriminated here simply because of the colour of their skin. we simply dont care as long as you are a human being.

I hate that people are still having kids while shit is bad... Wth... If I live in a place like that I wouldn't have kids at all.

There are too many people on the planet if people cant live properly where they are born. Location isnt the issue. Population existing in such numbers is the issue. People need to wake up and stop over populating and brushing it off as a non issue due to morals. Too many people is the problem and always has been. Climate issues, helathcare issues, infrastructure issues, criminal issues. Are all caused by an ever expanding population. The real killer is ignorance.

This is disgusting! This is criminal they need to impeach Biden and Harris. This is madness. We have people living on the streets we have people of Diem because of Mexico with people starving children that and these people think taxpayers want to give them money and support them here this is unacceptable! It’s an illegal invasion. It should be stuck with force if necessary.

Same thing is happening in the U.K people who are mostly responsible for their own bad choices in life think they can live where ever the hell they feel like

WOULD you recommend a country where BLACK people can LIVE without dealing with RACISM. I was born in Trinidad, and I have LIVED in Canada since 1968. With ALL of your WISDOM, please TELL me where I can GO to avoid RACISM. Every country has problems, YOU must MAKE your own CHOICE. YOU are either STRONG or YOU are WEAK. If YOU have GOALS and DREAMS, then YOU must go and fulfill them wherever the road takes YOU.

This is what happened when we (the USA) fucks up other countries, drains their recourses and in debts them to us. We need to clean up our messes and restore these peoples homes. I wish all of them the best, so much respect for those who will do anything to better the lives of those they love ❤️

You guys are just coming here to Canada to see what you can use to advance your life so you're full of complaints. You have no care, loyalty or roots here. You're not entitled to be accommodated spoiled bratty people. \n\nImmigrants come here use up the resources and at the same time don't care about the community and bettering it which creates worsening conditions. None of you will fight for better public transportation... because you're not really going to live here, its not really your country.\n\nAs far as Quebec is concerned the Federal government stays silent out of fear of Quebec separating not silent racism. How arrogant that you think you know what's really going on girl.

ANYTIME YOU GO TO A DOMINANT WHITE COUNTRY, YOU WILL FIND A LOT OF RACISUM. I GO TO THE CARIBBEAN, SOME WHERE I'M NOT OUT NUMBERED . WHITE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF YOUR PROGRESS, THEY THINK YOU'LL DO TO THEM WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO YOU , AND THEY KNOW HOW WICKED SOME OF THEM CAN BE. THEY KNOW WE HAVENT FORGOTTEN THE PAIN OUR ANCESTORS SUFFER AT THY HANDS, THERES NO RACE THAT CAN LIVE PEICEFULLY WITH THE WHITE MAN ,HE HATES EVERY BODY, BECAUSE HE ILLTREATS EVERY BODY

I’m using my daughter’s account and came across this. Not true. Lived all across Canada. Maybe the people she encountered but not even close to my experiences at 54. From Jamaica.

Imagine living in a country so great that people do this to get into it.

In Edmonton Alberta cause it mostly white people up there black people fight to get through \nI live up there for 5 years \nI have to move back to Toronto ,Ontario \nWhere there most definitely black people here\nI have face racism in Edmonton alberta

White people are hateful no matter where we go or live. I don't know why Black people think it's different.

And the Sad thing is that The Whites in Canada, Australia, The U.S, New Zealand, England etc are all living on someone else's land. They are parasites. They have never in a history of mankind settled on any barren or virgin land like we Africans and Native Americans have done. So it makes sick that the people whi are not from the land can boldly tell someone go back to your country. They Whites have absolutely no shame!!!

Damn! Canada that’s crazy. U would’ve thought living up there it’d be better for Black people seeing that most Blacks escaped slavery and migrated there during Jim Crow to live up there because the racism there wasn’t harsh like it is here in the US. But guess it’s not. Guess Canada’s racism is just as worst as America

we need a Joseph where ever we live to supply our every need and to give counseling on how to survive in a hostile environment while seeing the global world with one lens for black Africans who are being opposed by the total non-African people of this world that are working hard to maintain our division[disunity] economically, socially, politically, religiously, etc to their benefit. we need all the technologies, types of equipment, and stored houses with free access globally through lands, seas, and air to help our people without hindrances.b1

Women of color are finding out the hard way that the only way we can survive as a people us to stick together \nThey swear they can get degrees and be accepted into the white world and racism is over and they’ll get a zaddy a brad or Chad and live happily ever after ???

Why would black people want to live around those creatures? MOVE

Do not do it. Go live in Ghana. Instant free citizenship and within 2 years you are a millionaire. No white people. The President of Ghana has videos on YouTube asking for all black people, everywhere, to go live there. You do not have to live in Canada.

She is preaching truth. I got people who live there and they said the same thing.

This happens because Americans love drugs. The drugs come from countries these people are leaving. The reason why they are leaving is because the drug cartels are making lives a living hell. Stop taking drugs and in 10 years this issue will stop. Not gonna happen though because Americans are only interested in their own personal high.

If they would have been this passionate with these numbers in Venezuela, they may have been able to change their country for the better, and stayed. I live in EL PASO. I didnt know this happened. It's now 8:40am on Sunday. So i guess this was last week. ??‍♂️ Last Sunday. ? Sorry people. But you Cannot Bumrush the United States! Aint Happening. ?????

By not including a single quality of life measure you fail to analyze or provide a justification for why production should be a relevant measure of a country’s status or performance. What is the point of production if the benefits don’t go back to the people who live in the country?

Immigration -coming to live permanently in a foreign country.\nInvasion-an incursion by a large number of people

For all you little snowflakes who are mad about these people supposedly being abused, keep in mind that in almost every other civilized country with secured borders, people trying to violently force their way across would be shot and killed or at the very least, imprisoned and deported. Unless your willing to let a migrant family live in your house with you, you should probably shut up and mind your business. Funny how these illegals have rights and deserve to be here only up until the point that you have to sacrifice something.

The biggest problem is Americans TV shows and politicians only show the fake side of America ( everyone live in a big house) and promote to the world that if you come to America, you will be rich.\nThe government needs to help American people first, before get involved other countries business and pretend to be the big brother, keep sending the money we can’t afford.
