I hate to say it but time to build a fence and an exclusion zone. Make Canada great again.

I thought the US and Canada had a legal agreement not to accept immigrants coming to Canada from the USA? I have no problem people seeking asylum and I feel we have a duty to process them. I have a problem if they come through the US as they should be processed there and applying for immigration to Canada.

Wow after decades ? Finally decide to close the pimp road \nCan someone tell these new people to Canada to follow the culture here don’t park at the intersection \nAnd if you get a phone call walk away and talk privately ????????

I am an American living in Québec. The woke media would have you believe these are refugees. These are illegal migrants, many of whom are facing expulsion from the US. Thank God this was just closed. We in the West need to immediately extract ourselves from any and all international conventions on refugees. These are economic migrants. Real refugees couldn’t afford the trip to illegally cross the border and are in some refugee camp overseas. Millions of taxpayer dollars in Canada are wasted on these faux refugees. Deport them now!

Canada is no good anymore, specially nowdays people just going somewhere else or choosing between to pay rent or buy grocries plus to park a car on the streets in front where we live you have to pay nowdays, this is so ridiculous and insane, this country is too much, its not for humans being anymore, goverment dont care at all. Still work so hard or overtime they take all your money, they just want to keep us like a modern slavery 2023

Should be a freeze on immigrates until Canada gets back on her feet. Our own people are having hard times.

Long overdue, Canada can't afford or should I say refuses to house and provide medical/dental for people who have been here for generations. Canadian government likes to wallow in the spotlight sending millions in aide overseas when it can't house and provide proper health care to its own! We may have land mass but we cannot house the world, not as it sits now.

it's about time.. there are ways to come into canada.. legally\ni know someone who is an illegal here in ottawa.i see him sometimes and he's just a homeless guy.. no papers.. nothing legal..

Man , it's about time. Has anyone else noticed that a majority of crimes in Canada over the last couple of years , have been committed by people who have unpronounceable names , and darker complexions. To me , they are obviously immigrants and possibly ones who walked into Canada unvetted and disappeared who knows where. We only need skilled immigrants who enter Canada the proper way. I think Trudeau lets them in so he can get their votes , at our expense.

and now criminal charges for trudeau for allowing the invasion of canada for the purpose of padding the liberal party numbers ----everybody knows thats the game

As an Immigrant who came to Canada Roxham road was the wrong way to come to Canada, It's about time to close that border. I came here to Canada in the 80s from the US, and I drove here in my car through the border In Detroit and Windsor.

Thanks The Fifth Estate! We need you guys here in the US! lol Anyway, it seems you Canadians follow the same bad patterns as the US, including doing this. This is not good. Not only that, in the end, there are no real winners. Only losers. Greed is never satisfied and is in constant need of feeding, needing of new victims. This applies to greedy schools in need of new bodies, to homeowners over charging for houses. Canada will end up with newly homeless that needs housing, to unpaid debt that is saddled upon taxpayers. And worse of all, the victims..who traveled all this way, only to end up with debt, and an unfortunate life lesson.

Canadian taxation system and employment is too complicated to outsides. You have to live 10 years in Canada before telling this stories. Very few people own houses in Canada, banks own them and you have to pay taxes from entire artificial value of the house.

Ship them all back, we need war with Canada for aiding and abetting criminals.

Where are these millions of new immigrants going to work? Since the election of Liberals, Canada has had the slowest growing economy in the industrialized world! The world expects Canada's lacklustre performance to continure for the next 20 years. So are these new immigrants coming with suitcases full of money to invest in new companies? Are the skilled tradesman coming from developed nations with similar building codes and material or from countries that build houses without any codes or inspection? Do the Medical Doctors receive the same education as 1st world doctors or are they like doctors in most developing and 3rd world countries where they enter medical school straight from Grade 11 and graduate 4-5 years later with a medical degree and their medical experience is all with 3rd world diseases? OR what is more likely is that these new immigrants will have to go back to school (paid for by Canadian taxpayers) to bring their education and skills to the minimum level of Canadians? It will take the average new immigrant 6-10 years before they are making a net positive contribution to the Canadian economy. This would be affordable if our economy was outpacing other industrialised nations OR if we had fewer immigrants but this is a strategy for bankruptcy. My prediction is that the Canadian dollar will be $0.60 USD within 5 years or less. My recommendation is start moving your savings and retirement funds to the USA.

Welcome to Canada !

As a hardworking Canadian, it is very sad and frustrated to see how people just cross the border so easily from the US when my immigrant parents who held bachelors and PHD needed to sacrifice so much to raise me. They had to do labor work in factories. Those people who seek asylum will enjoy so much such as free housing, food and education support. All the services are coming out from the taxpayers like me. I have been taxed so high that I almost cannot afford a place in large cities like Toronto and Vancouver. In my opinion, Canada should restrict the number of people seeking asylum every five years. It should offer less benefits to those people as well.

Wait until they get to Canada and realize they were better off in the States. High taxes, bad Healthcare, little to no housing unless you like paying $3100 for a 2 bedroom, and endure -20 weather for 6 of the year months, come aboard the magic carpet ride.????

Who in the hell would want to make a fresh start in life in the United States of America, everyone in the world ? knows it's a third world country with all it's prisons and mentally ill people and homelessness every were and to expensive to live there the education is no good anymore why not Canada?

I feel sorry for a lot of these people. This is going to keep happening, especially with climate change and unstable nations. Canada do treat these migrants slightly better than the United States but this is a hard thing to fix right now, with all of the things going on in the world. I am a hard-core a Democrat and I don’t have any solution to this issue, but there needs to be one.

You know what this mean? It mean United States is not what they think really in their mind. Not much different from their mother land. Next stop Canada

As a Canadian, I’m ashamed. I hate canada. We stand for nothing and fall to anything. I want to move to Florida.

All this started when Biden clowned administration took power. Influx to US and Canada will be a sess pool of people leeching on the system and ruining healthcare for hard working people. As if it wasn’t bad enough already.

?I thought Canada liked immigrants… yall fake

Stopped by the US for a cup of coffee and it's on to Canada. Damn these people love to travel.

LOVE Canada.

Lemme get this straight. South American migrants are trying to enter the USA in mass, others are leaving the USA to Canada as refugees, while people are leaving Canada to USA for better opportunities. Meanwhile both Canada and USA need more immigrants... What's going on here. ??

As a US citizen, I support illegal immigrants crossing into Canada.

Freaking Joke Canada. \nThen legal people, with everything in order, are forbid to enter the country.

I’m an American and I want to get into Canada ?? for its healthcare system

Student loans scams in private colleges. Cdi college national scams . Using immigrants to get their student loans I return for scamming them and treating them like filth . Search for stories on YouTube. \nThen Vancouver community college scams. Their president has Indian name and is not Indian . Treating ppl like dirt on visa status. Canada has too many scams in the name of private post secondary education. Careful

I don't understand why the U.S. & Canada doesn't aid Mexico instead of aiding Israel & Ukraine (especially Israel).

whats wrong with those losers, if they cant have a proper job in US, what makes them think things will be good in canada? It just a colder and less paid US.

A lot of these people will probably never attain full citizenship. The Canadian process is a lot stricter than you'd think. If they have children in Canada though, the children will become citizens automatically.

If Canada didn't want migrants crossing that border they would put up a thing called a fence ?

God blessed those who search for a better life. Reminding me of our ancestors. Asylum in Canada should be those poor people who need a helping hand and not economic assets asylum like dirty money. Forfeit profits from crime should be our priority. These bad actors need to be removed from our society. We don’t need them.

Why do people even want to go to Canada anyways its boring, cold and expensive. The fishing is decent especially in my province in manitoba

Canada is a cringe country.

I hope people can sympathize a bit more with diaspora in Canada and USA due to the slave trade. We deal with a lot of these issues but we can’t go “home”. There is no other “home “ for us. It’s upsetting.

From US to Canada, same in Europe. From France to Britain after they left the EU, they have no deal anymore. Sad truth.

Come to eastern Canada and become a statistic and another news story

You left out Vancouver from your list of large cities. A glaring omission, that makes six cities in Canada by your standards.

POOR....CANADA. 2023. ???????

Canada needs to take in all illegals

The illegals are denied visas in the United States, so they keep heading north to Canada.

Canada is going to start having major,major probles!\nAssaults and murders are going to go up!

It’s so unfair because some people apply legally and spend so much money just to live and work in Canada while this people just enter illegally. Our taxes we pay provides the need of these immigrants.

Hey migrants Canada loves you and will have plenty of free programs and lots of work you can steal from the soft timid Canadian citizens. They won’t do a thing.

Ya won't be able to afford Canada gas is7bucks a gallon.

I have family from Nova Scotia can I get a citizenship in Canada?
