This is a warning CNN.... DO NOT BECOME the new FOXNEWS.... we arlready know your CORPORATE DEM... meaning you pretend to be fair and balanced but u always agree with Republicans when it comes to greed.

muhahaha your imaginary borders mean nothing !

But why here not saying y’all aren’t wanted here but so y’all not see the state that this country is in right now?? We are 1 school shooting away from a national riot we are 1 elected official away from falling into a dystopian state we are 1 more billion away from our government shutting down the housing market is trash the car market is trash people can’t find jobs or aren’t getting paid enough people are getting shot in the streets or strangled on trains we are being threatened by North Korea and Russia every other day why come here? I mean it can be worse but then again… could it really?

If you ask this immigrants what part of ASYLUM do they know or even it means, I bet 99.9% of them doesn't know, but it's their reason or excuse of illegaly coming here.

What do you mean “why are we seeing this?” Stop feigning ignorance. You know exactly why we are seeing this.

Our forefathers fought and more importantly died to get rid of the tyrants in our country. These people are unwilling to do the same which means they are not worthy of Americanship. If all of the millions and millions upon millions would coalesce into a fighting force men and women together they could flood and overwhelm the tyrants in their own country and created a place where perhaps after a while they could become a player on the world stage. They want to stow away not having paid for their passage to the very land that demands our own blood sacrifices to maintain. We send our young ones to the military some die some are maimed....and they are blessed heroes for it. These people have no desire to fight for liberty therefore they deserve none.

You’d be surprised the psychological power a gun has… use it…. You’re armed for a reason. Doesn’t mean kill or harm but if all you’re going for is intimidation razor wire isn’t gonna stop anybody

Attempts? You mean succeeded.

I mean, what happens after they make it in? Illegal immigrants? Where do they go?

I mean wow! How many illegals will they allow to come here. When they come close to outnumbering white people?! Lol...

Thanks libtards. Orange man bad, mean tweets.

How come no one is talking about the fact that these countries have zero accountability for their citizens? I mean Venezuela has been extremely silent. This is pathetic. I have no words for what this world is becoming.

If you don't say that we should bring everyone of those people in here and put them in a hotel and pay for thier food and shelter your a freaking racist. I swear I mean take the shirt off your back america I mean off the backs of the homeless vets. I mean what the hell did they ever do for this country. I mean these people are willing to jump through barbed wire to get free well everything what did anyone here do to deserve anything here. ? I mean they are going to pay so many taxes I'm sure it will probably balance the budget and America won't default and continue to fall into a recession. I mean what we need is hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of undocumented people here eating our taxpayers dollars. Cmon isn't that the American way. Work hard all your life to give it away to some illegal who came here. Nothing makes me more proud than watching the govt take all my shit and give it to people who are really worthy of it. Who come from countries where thier govt makes it almost impossible to live so I would happily give all my material possession away to help like 9 or 10 Mexicans. Granted my house burnt down last week but the shirt on my back it's all yours I don't even need it in most states and local convience stores below the state of Virginia. What we need in this country is voters too. I mean all the people who died of covid who's going to fill the voter polls if the democrats don't give these refugees a free life. I'm certainly not going to sit around and let the govt tell us that we need a wall to stop anyone from going anywhere. I mean walls. They are just going to hop and a boat and come right over. Granted you may have to go through customs but that's what I'm saying you need to be able to go and do what ever you want in any country at anytime. Who's to tell me where I can and can't roam on planet earth and what govt agencies will or will not provide me with care for my unborn child. We need a revolution and it start with walls. I'm going to start with my bedroom wall. And work my way up the ladder. I say no to all walls. Even the ones in swimming pools. I say if your a red blooded patriotic American you need to start planning a trip to the border to tear down that exist racist wall that is keeping those south Americans, Chinese, Russian, and Romanian refugees from coming here with ease. The cartel may not be happy with this but we need to make sure that every person from any country no matter what the situation can freely cross any border at any time. It only makes sense.

This doesn't move me with sympathy, it moves anger in me. My family and I were homeless in the U.S. all because I decided to further my education with a school who claimed to be accredited and all this stuff but quickly found out it all was a sham....so in not securing my deposit on a new place or being financially able to fight an eviction were the property basically got paid twice for bs they didn't handle...all because the irs took my income tax which I was depending on being I just started a new job and had 3 weeks before my first paycheck...we were on the street....everywhere I turned was a wait-list and no one I mean no entity would help us..... claiming lack of funding or some proof of homelessness other than papers proving your eviction....just so many ridiculous things....it took us a while to get off the streets and this is kids born on this soil....with a citizen who never been in trouble with the law, 3.8 gpa, educated and motivated and employed.....on the street and although now we have a roof as U.S. CITIZENS still struggling to find our footing....and STILL NO HELP...NOT A FOOD STAMP NOTHING and the lights are out due to the landlord....soooo I'm not sympathetic of these people....I struggled and still struggling in MY OWN COUNTRY WITH NO HELP FROM MY COUNTRY....GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND FIGURE IT OUT.....

Ultimately 'protection' means weaponization, teargas, etc.

Can't blame them. I mean not all Mexicans are bad. Most of them try to escape the drug war that's going on over there.

As a Canadian the only thing that I would say jumped out as not Canadian was your pronunciation of Newfound Land (though I have heard more Canadians say aboat instead of aboot, but aboot will remain king ),. Being Atlantic Canadian (but living across Canada) myself it's always pronounced NewFIN Land, everything else that sounded wrong to me is just a mater of location, like being from Nova Scotian means I have a strong R (like a pirate) when saying words like are, car, or star (Edit. We Nova Scotians also like out silent T's, Martin is Mar'in, and can't is can'}.

I mean when it comes to it. I dont mind the illegal migration. I don't really care anymore. The world is big enough for everyone, and the U.S. is a lot bigger than people seem to think. So by all means who cares if they are entering...

bro if someone does not have the means to go there first and search job, can it be done from india? so that one can move there with a proper job in hand, and I am not talking about minimum wage job, jobs like Digital Marketer or product/project manager.

If its about money try Qatar for petroleum engineering if its for the quality of life i think Canada might be a good option,qatar has tax free salary and you get free housing but then on the down side they pay salaries according to your passport so if your passport is still African you might not get the same benefits as the rest(u knw i mean)so go try u never knw if you dont like it at least you tried

This is what Dominican Republic has to deal with every day with Haiti , but alot of people in media want to call us racist and protecting our borders too. Every country should be able to protect their people and nation. Currently we have a population of 10million around 4.5 million are legal and illegal hatians from what is on record, that's not even counting those who are not on record. In a few years I see war again for my people because the agenda the UN is pushing is to leave us to help haiti forever which we will not due and its impossible, we are also historic enemies to top it off. Just because you as a migrant can't get into a country doesn't mean you have the right to now bash the other country for it, they are protecting what is there's just like we all do. How can this be fixed? Well the migrants need to stay In their OWN country and fight for their rights!

And everyone called trump a racist when he said “shit hole countries”… well it would appear the citizens of some of these shit hole countries agree with him… but liberals always know better, right? ? I mean clearly, by looking at this video… we don’t need a wall! ?.

Oh my goodness...Canada seems to have run out of red carpets...Canada has problems. It has racism. It has sexism, yet with only high school four of my sisters became bank management and executives...and we have a blue-collar mixed-race heritage. But despite that Canada has a tiny tiny economy compared to its immediate neighbour and still delivers an impressively comparable lifestyle...plus a health care system that struggles to find a way to be universal in our post-pandemic world...that actually saved my American-immigrant husband's life. If you can understand the sheer competitiveness of trying to get a job in this marketplace then you might understand that despite Canada's best efforts it's not the land of Oz. If other countries are better sorted and have your dream jobs waiting by all means have that good life where you can. If you want to work towards building a future in a relatively safe and free nation...and that will mean taking part in ironing out age old problems...maybe Canada is for you.

Illegal means illegal

Personally, all of those people are lucky that the united states didn't take that as a Invasion. And I do not see why they wanna come here, I mean we may be free but are we really. Housing is horrible, income is bad, not as good as they take it to be.

America the shiny beacon of freedom and biggest cheerleader of democracy, the biggest to denounce Authoritarian regimes.. yet when people want to flee those that America denounces they are turned away. Hypocritical ?? America is barely 4% of the world, I believe one day about 80% of the world is gonna want in, by any means necessary. Either you make laws to get them in peacefully, or situations like mass invasions are going to happen by force

Lol way to go America this is what you've voted for ?? enjoy your $9 carton of eggs and 13,000 entering the country illegally a day. But hey.... At least we don't have mean tweets.

Illegal aliens you mean!

Less inequality just means equally poor. Canada has a higher ratio of homelessness than the u.s…. It’s a 3rd world economy disguised as a first world. Much like Australia

Canada is literally sucking immigrants at this speed.. I mean Canada needs immigration but now it looks like Canada is stealing people from other countries like Mexico, India, Iran ?? my friend is moving to Canada this November and I looked up some details about that in my phone.. the next thing that happened was literally tonnes of advertisements regarding Canadian immigration from various consultancies spammed my phone.. Its like they are literally selling Canadian immigration to us???\nCanada needs immigration but at the same time Canada should grow at that level to accommodate that immigration

Hopefully this will deter immigrants from using usa as an interim stop to get to canada. Biden ended Title 42, which means most of these illegals will probably bussed to other us cities so taxpayers can take care of them. Looks like Canada is trying to do what Trump did for 4 years in the usa, deter illegal immigration.

Hi I applied for tourism visit visa but I have no funds folder in the supporting documents sheet & what does that mean ?

If the come illegally it means the don't respect our Constitution and it takes millions of heroes to make sure our Constitution stand still...\nThose don't deserve to be American..

People will suffer as long as we continue to be selfish and only think of our own well being. Yes there is Law to respect but they are desperate looking to work for the most part. Why can’t we help them? I agree they shouldn’t come through this means but what other choices do they have!? This will never be solved.

At least our banks in Australia don’t go broke like in US . Since the Covid lock downs a lot of people are homeless all around the world . I live in Sydney and I could not care less if we are isolated . We still can visit New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and South East Asia . I rather live in Australia than overseas because my relatives in the UK , and Cyprus didn’t care to spend time with me when I visited there . Their attitudes are not laid back . Anyway there are international students who find work here in Australia . We have heaps of lovely places in Australia to visit . There are amazing places in Western Australia and the rest of Australia to see . I agree Canada is amazing as I have been there but it doesn’t mean Australia is a dump like you are saying . I am sorry that you had a bad experience here but it doesn’t mean Australia is a horrible country to live in . There is beauty in our deserts thank you .

Some good points were touched on. We need solutions! What does this mean?\n\n- We need some immigration discipline. Yes, it's great to let immigration in, especially ones that pay taxes, but it's overburdening both the rental/housing demand (which needs opposing pressure to lower prices) as well as healthcare demand, which is not being properly addressed. Instead our healthcare system is flooded. And it's inefficient and expensive as is already. We just need to tame the number of people we allow in, and grow our ability to self-sustain first.\n- It's too late now, but government policies to give out money during COVID was poorly executed, yet plentiful. When 40% of currency was printed in the last year/two, no doubt we will have inflation. This was never touched upon in the video. Resources/social supports should have been provided rather than just straight up $$$. There was an excess of money given to places they shouldn't have been. We saw a boom in industries like say hobbies and games, showing additional money being wasted where it should have been used for food and shelter. \n- Canadian government is not trying to be as aggressive to retain Canadian companies. We are heavily dependent on US corporations and hence the brain drain as well. Salaries do not compare, especially when remote work is now possible. \n\nWe are already deep in the hole and need to be more financially responsible. I'd strongly disagree with the last statement in this video that we are perceived as corrupt (there's been lots of civil unrest because of government misspending). We are civil and polite, but that's not what helps economies grow, as OCED forecasts as well.

The video is really good but The bank example is just not relevant. There is not others than white poeple because it is the way it is. It doesn't mean that this is some sort of racisim.

What do y'all mean WHY are we seeing this ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️ It is due to YOUR PRESIDENT having no fucking back bone & just letting ANYONE and EVERYONE come across the border. I have a valid reason for being pissed off. I was raped at 11 years old by a 21 year old ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT from El Salvador. Know what happened to him NOT A DAMN THING!!!!! Know what happened to me? Well he gave me PID that I didn't know I had & it made it impossible for me to get pregnant the natural way & I lost 3 babies because of it before my OB did minor surgery & then I am still in therapy for it. I have PTSD & social anxiety disorder, OCD, It also made me WAY to overprotective of my daughter to the point she wasn't even allowed to stay the night with friends they had to come here to stay instead. I am not in any way saying that ALL immigrants are bad people but in my opinion it is a 50-50 chance. ?‍♀️???

Nishant. I am so sorry I have to ping u here as I don’t know any other means and not sure if my emails are reaching you. I had a 1-0-1 session with you yesterday but due to some medical emergency I couldn’t attend the session and wasn’t able to inform as well. Please consider my request of the reschedule just this one time. Please.

I'm a Canadian living in the UK now. I love Canada with every piece of my heart but couldn't see myself ever being anything other than working poor there. I went to college but couldn't get a job in my field so had to take whatever minimum wage I could get, couldn't afford rent let alone buying a property so moved in with my parents and there isn't any support from the government for average citizens, only if you're an immigrant, disabled etc. I'm not against helping immigrants, disabled people or those that need it, just sucks that if you don't fall into certain categories it means you'll always struggle in your minimum wage job.\nLife in the UK isn't perfect but I was able to find a decent job here, the public transit is actually usable, phone plans and other bills/groceries tend to be cheaper and the working conditions are significantly better. Like I get 32 paid days off a year in my average job which is just wild to me! In Canada my sister who is a police officer only gets 15 days off a year and that's a lot compared to other people, like I never use to get any paid time off at my previous jobs. I miss parts of living in Canada but for the time being the UK is making my life a lot easier.

This is why I think Canada should be annexed, I mean united with the US.\nWe have a lot of oil in Alberta. Why didn't they send their troops to give us some democracy yet.

Heads up to your editorial team, the stock footage at 8:14 is San Francisco and not Vancouver (as the following images would suggest). I mean, maybe one day California will become part of Canada.... ;)

Canada is becoming a third-world shithole, expensive to live here, finding a doctor is a long wait and terrible weather 6 months of the year! Trudeau's government has now passed the censorship-11 bill which means all information comes through government bribed news outlets! Canada's best days are over

I'm curious about cost of living comparison. Because earning more doesn't mean anything if prices are higher.\n\nEDIT: Also, the median would be a better comparison than the average.

Least corrupt government in the world? Wow, i mean truduea is the most corrupt leader in canadian history! Just check out his stats.

I think this video is good overall, but downplays the potential severity of our housing crisis. It's not just a problem for renters. Rapid expansion in finance and real estate are only a good thing if they are backed up by real growth, otherwise it's just a bubble that puts the entire national economy at risk. In Canada, it's got many characteristics of a bubble that will crash during an interest rate rise or economic crisis.\n\nAlso income inequality is not the whole story. Wealth inequality has been rising rapidly in Canada and is made worse by rapidly rising rents and inflation. Owning a home outright or with a smaller mortgage means spending less of your income on housing in Canada's current system, so even at the same income level homeowners are dramatically better off than renters and renters have noticed. It's one thing to point at some graphs of the Gini index and say inequality isn't that bad, but that's not good enough when regular people see homeowners buying fancy cars and taking lavish vacations while renters scrape by.\n\nFurthermore, you pretty much ignored the demographic concerns in Canada. We have an aging population, which means we either need high immigration that worsens the housing crisis or higher taxes to pay for growing healthcare and pension costs. Neither option is good and both paths lead to increases political and economic instability. Demographics is one of the main reasons the OECD has a poor outlook on growth in the long term.

Low corruption my ass from small townships to the federal government seem to only way to get anything done is to know the right person and or to get into politics for your own personal gain, and canadian don't want industry that's means we would have to work plus it's bad for the environment but luckily we have plenty of carbon neutral government jobs

Hello for POF, do you mean the money has to be in your account before you apply , or is it okay to put the money in when you’ve gotten ITA , then not touch it for 6 months? Can you please specify.
