I mean, isn't this clear cut in most countries? Illegal migrants should be sent back right away. To deter this, second time maybe 2 weeks in jail, then deport.\nI'm sorry but we spent about 7 years getting to be residents and then citizens. We had to go through interviews, in depth medical tests/hostory, financial and education or skilled trade scrutiny, so we are a net benefit to Canadian society. Some also spend tens of thousands, sometimes their life savings, on the fees and paperwork, which also takes years.\nRefugees from war, etc are different, but if you just feel like it's a better life and opportunity, there are official channels to apply to be a permanent resident.

Reason to claim Refugee status: I feel I can have a better quality of life in Canada instead of staying in the US

Feel bad for Canada since its only a matter of time before their politeness evaporates for a more hardened approach to immigration as more people enter and the worst of the bunch ruin it for everyone by acting like a bunch of ill-mannered degenerate delinquents in their new home.

Why can't we eliminate boundaries for everyone to stay everywhete he feels like

CNN promotes illegal immigration and wants us to feel bad

its become a scocialist country, corrupt politicians that care only about their political interests, power and to sustain their quality of life, they dont care about their citizens or immigrants, all about their political interests and globalist interests, they are receiving financial gifts from global corporations and influenced by world organizations that have agendas for power also, its becoming a 3rd world country, i dont believe immigration on such a large scale has helped canadians either, its only been good for federalists,, globalists and their members and those that feed off them....canadians are feeling it too

I feel sad for the innocent people and the children that just want freedom

I feel for the people trying to come here however the burden of supporting all of them falls on US taxpayers with no end in sight... Biden sucks

I wish we could help all these people ??? the province i live in is so racist and biased against refugees. I can see the upset as it feels our government sometimes chooses to give them more support then their own people but imagine you wanting to get away from your country and everyone turning you around. ❤

are we supposed to feel sorry for economic migrants gaming the system, looking-for the best deal”I think I will have a better quality if life in Canada”; TRUE REFUGEES FROM WAR, PERSECUTION:yes, every person who wants a better deal—sorry get in line and apply for visas. STOP THE INSANITY AT BOTH-BORDERS . I am a life long dem and sick of this BS.

If you enter US, you will still be poor and still have crime to deal with. America years ago used to be different and let in immigrants. Now there is inflation and benefits or jobs are not a sure bet and a process no one follows. I feel bad, but it's a F-ing free for all

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

And I already feel it all these Mexicans are coming here or working for $10 an hour. Every construction site there’s a Mexican that don’t speak one word in English and they were working for free.

I feel like up until this point Canadians were telling Americans we should just take on and care for the illegal migrants. Eh we’ll let y’all do that now.

Looks like it's now Canada's turn to experience the open borders/migration feeling??Human traffickers must be raking it in.

Love it…. Now all Canadians will knows what we feels….

Good riddance but feel a bit sorry for them tho… no one deserves to live in Canada, ugh

I wonder why they feel they deserve to live here? Who promised them easy and consequence free entry?

Honestly I’m not even mad. I feel for them.

I don't believe in citizenship u should be able to live where u want whenever u feel. Why is going to another country illegal oh yea government needs there money too reason we need passports this shit a racket

Which other Western country will allow this? Create more dystopian atmosphere with other dysfunctional elements in the social breakdown in American cities. Aggravated by economic hardships ... will cause a feeling of hopelessness that impacts mental health of people.

FEEL VERY SAD FOR THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS/////

Not gonna lie... seeing that baby's face at :12 really just kills me on the inside. I can't help but feel so sorry and sad for them.

You feel for them but everybody got their own country so no-win situation type of thing everybody leaving their own country God help us.

Read the book American Dirt. Cant help but feel sympathetic to the plight of these ppl.

*I’ll feel better when the next time they rush the border our government pulls out a couple M16’s*

Feels good to be in New Zealand right now, our ocean wall keeps out all the illegals, we only let in the best over here lol

How's it feel Canada?

I have mixed feelings about this. I feel like a total first letter of the alphabet-hole for not thinking of helping right away. When I lived in San Diego, it was a palpable daily reminder. Lots of people have cross-border lives. Family, work, home is on either side of the border. Now living up in Washington State, it's different. Here the border with Canada is all about preventing Canadians from stealing technology from us while allowing them to work for us. Some partners who come visit us often times get searched for technology. Like pen drives, samples, etc. It's a totally different story. Canada probably has less homeless than all of south America. It's an easy claim because literally, if you can't insulate your self in winter you go visit the great gardener Jesus and his weirdo multipersonality disorder. In south America, you just need to eat and not get eaten by things. So the result is that people survive way below the poverty line. Then, the big lie tells them that the US is better so they come over to eventually learn how the others found the three headed gardener the hard way. I feel like maybe if they got a tour of the country and learned how shitty it is to live here too, they might think twice about coming over. There are periods and ways when the US opens it's borders but it's looking like a real shit show right now. We don't have enough jobs and not enough houses to house everyone. At least in south America you can live in the family house and no one bats an eye. People help each other in poverty.

And the local citizens are starving... They have all expenses paid and full health services. They stay in good hotels so tourism is down. I feel for them but we citizens need help. Our Liberal government is against us.

Sorry but no. I don’t feel bad for them. They’re trying to force their way in by breaking the rules. They have already shown they would not be good citizens & promote lawlessness! That isn’t what we need. \nWhy don’t they go to Mexico City or some other South American country to wait? Those are good countries & there are jobs there.\nAlso I read a lot of times they’ll bring a kid along, that they aren’t related to, just so they have a shot of getting in. That’s a bit sick

All these people bitching about immigrants.Canada was made from blood sweat and tears of immigrants. The system needs fixing for sure but making immigrants feel like they are subhuman isnt it.

Lmao! As a U.S citizen, I wasn't too happy with them invading my home but now they went to Canada, let them see how WE feel for once. Keep them coming into Canada

Quebec (montreal): Medical care, any public services rude, irresponsive and bureaucracy sucks n complicated (example: people wait for uncertainty just to renew their driving license), THE CRUELEST THING IN QUEBEC INCLUDING MONTREAL IS MEDICAL SERVICES (my god reminds me of third world countries i have ever been in), they will just ignore you heartlessly even if you have RAMQ (quebec heath care coverage), u have to have family doctor n u have to sign up to get one IN UNCERTAIN TIME, some they get family doctor within 3 years, others 5,7 years so on so forth so uncertain, so if u dont have family doctor u wont get treated, and if u have family doctor u will hve to stick to where your family doctor works at only, and to get appointment at some clinic they will put you on wait for some days or even weeks if u get the availability slots for u, if u got emergency u will wait 8,10,12 or 14 hours in pain. I feel bad for montreal citizen i swear, they r so patient with all of this while the tax is one of highest in canada. \n\nNow for rental (apartment in general), the check is crazy long it takes around 2 weeks just to rent, if u r lucky u will get taken if u r not then the landlord will take others, the 1 year lease means 1 year, so far to my experience in alberta like for example, 1 year lease but minimum period u have to stay usually around 3-6 months n after that u can leave with notice to the landlord to vacate the unit. \n\nBut in montreal, u have to find other person to transfer the lease, n if u found the person like i told u earlier, the landlord will check the person n the approval/ disapproval is by the landlord. I had to stay for one year living like hell cause the neighbors freaking so loud n partying every week end night till dawn. Couldn’t even have good sleep for work, so I called 911 two times, the police couldn’t do anything, yet the landlord n the building management kept on saying that they gave warning etc to that tenant, but they didn’t take any further action toward that, n i know they dont care, they care only for money. When i started to file complaint to the TAL(quebec rental board, they r irresponsive, complicated procedures, n in the end they dont solve any problem, on their site said that renter or landlord has to retain lawyer, the hell they r there for then? \n\nThe apartment building is tiny, tight old, the wall is thin, u can hear everything from your neighbour upstair, downstair n on your side too.. \n\nMONTREAL IS ALSO SO DENSED AND TIGHT, the main road so tight with cars parked on both sides of the road to ways only one lane on each way, cos mostly apartment building they dont provide parking spot, so they have to park on the road side, i feel bad for the bus driver i swear, with snow mounting on both side of the road makes driving bus is just so stressful, almost every neighbourhood looks dirty, trashes, people littering every where. Im Not complaining but that’s what it is, im living in montreal currently for more than one year but im just gonna move out of here lol

I feel bad for the taxpayers specially with the prices of food and rent. Good for those living under welfare and such but the working class are the ones suffering.

We have so much empty land so why deny these poor people the right to call Canada home. I don't know why certain people feel they have right over others but i welcome these people to Canada. Just remember we pay higher taxes, and everything cost more than your bi-weekly pay-cheque but welcome!!

Ha! See how it feels. Texas here, we say get rid of trespassers or pew pew.

I feel so bad for these people! I guess I should be grateful they treated my grandparents with kindness

I’m the son of immigrants. However, my parents asked for asylum by going to us embassy in Bangkok Thailand. So born and raised in America. But when I see this it breaks my heart, on one hand I feel for those who want a better life for themselves. On the other, we cannot let this type of chaos unfold before our eyes. Is the solution a militarized wall that mirrors the Korean DMZ or West Bank barrier- maybe, I hope not, i prefer not to build walls but bridges of friendship, trade, problem solving, and unity. Overall I’m just frustrated.

The U.S. can't afford this many people. I do feel for those who only want a better life, but the U.S. can't be the U.S. if we just let everyone in. Do it right! Please...

Listen to these baby’s crying over how long it takes for processing, that they’ve been waiting 3 to 6 months ? I had aunts and uncles wait YEARS to finally get in LEGALLY. \n\nFirst they force their way in to Mexico, Mexico does nothing about it and now they want to force their way to ?? United States…. Oh and they want us to feel sorry for them. \n\nAlso complaining about conditions in Mexico, complaining about food they’re given by good people in Mexico. Absolutely pathetic and this is only making them look worse.

You know I’m an American so you know course we’re like geez we really can’t have all these people here but I feel really bad for them really really bad. The people in charge need to figure it out. That’s why we pay taxes.

I feel the most disturbing recent developments in Canada is the push for MAID aka assisted suicide for the simplest reason like depression or physical disability rather than supporting individuals. Also, children can now get sex changes without parental consent. And yes, having lived in Canada my whole life it is imo a dismal place to live. Freezing winters, hot humid summers, boring and lots of working. Would have preferred my parents had gone to Florida instead when they immigrated from Europe. I should have been brave and moved years ago.

You are both 100% right. Canada rips off their citizens. I honestly feel sorry for the people that move here full of hope of a better life ( and for many it is) but they have no idea the wolf at the door of Canada ( our government) that is forever getting worse by the day stealing and cheating their citizens out of everything. Poverty is rising by the day here in 2023.

I agree with you homeboy- I’m also from Zim and was living in UK I feel like Canada offers more. And I’m so happy with my decision to move to Canada I don’t regret it ?

F CANADA, im in BC canada on disability for life due to immune system problems. past 10 years ive tride getting healthy and started feeling good, i found a good job last summer, making 29$ hr full time! i was very excited and ready to move on in life from the system, 3 months into it, i start doing the math... im losing 22% off each check for taxes twice per month + union dues, + they charging me for cleaning service for my uniform 5$ per check THEN i pay 12% tax on all good i buy.. SO im losing almost 40% of my monthly income after fees and taxes... NOW im working so i need a car to be at work on taime daily.... this is another 15-20% monthly expense.. YEAHHH RIGHT i am not working myself to the bone to work just to be as POOR as i was on Disability. i quit the job as soon as i paid off the car, sold the car now im my own boss again , i have no need for a clock, i sleep until i want, eat when i want, and go where i want 7 days a week. You have to be a total FOOL to work in this country with these amount of fees and taxes, and please dont say taxes are high becuase of the 2% on welfare, take a look at the BILLIONS of dollars your foolish leader Trudeau is giving to Ukriane.

Sometimes these questions feel like those from competitive exams which intentionally expect 'outside the box' answers ( no matter how far removed they are from the reality)

Wow thanks for making this video. I totally agree with your pointe mentioned in the video. The gov regulations are too much. Here in Montréal they ticket people on any thing, it’s not cool at all, you feel abused financially on top of it with all the imposed taxes, real estate are becoming very expensive to buy. You ask yourself eventually not even the weather helps. Sun and beaches are blessings

In Toronto, you are going to run into two types of people. Real Canadians and newcomers who feel displaced and always talk about their former country. If you stick to socializing with real Canadians, you will have a much better experience.

I moved from US to Canada the difference that the people are super kinder they don't make you feel left out no matter who you are so that's one thing Canada is expensive (depending on the are) like the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) Its super expensive like $3000+ for house on rent and apartment no less then $2500 so I think That Canada is better even thought its expensive
