Good shit it’s our world we could be where ever we want

Just because 1 path is closed doesn't mean another path is not opened, or can be opened to enter Canada illegally. Migrants could try to enter Canada in different ways illegally, so I don't think much progress was made by possibly eliminating 1 option to enter Canada illegally.

CNN complaining about this is as rich as it gets ?\n\nYou guys did all you could to undermine Trumps campaign and get Biden into office. The country was doing pretty well under Trump and now? Not so much.

We never needed the US permission to close it down. We are a souvenir nation. This was just smoke and mirrors by Trudeau who was the cause of the problem from day one when he told people they could cross wherever. We never had this problem before Trudeau. Period. Thanks to Pierre for pushing this issue. A true leader.

Good we can't take care of the people here. If we could it would be different

I’m sorry your life in your own country sucks but you cannot just rush into our country the wrong way, sorry. Immigrants have gone through the proper process for decades and you do not deserve a shortcut. Don’t blame the US for your hardship when YOU made the choices that led you to being stuck at the border bc YOU though you could just force your way in. That’s an invasion and should be treated as such. You want better so bad you’ll try to force your way into another country instead of fighting to fix your OWN, that’s a huge problem as well.

As a Canadian that lived in Ozzie land. This is so effin accurate! Could not stop laughing....

We could use more workers… let ‘em all in. Open borders are only an issue for scared, racist, or protectionist people.

Let’s go!!!! Everyone deserves freedom! Let’s go! Europeans came to this land and killed all the native Americans. If they could come, why fellow South Americans can’t?! Let’s go

I know of 5 people who could absolutely stop this in seconds. Our border officials and government is weak as fuck!

Used to live there so sad to c how people have to live under this corruption. Imagine ppl working together what we could accomplish

It could be worse. We could be like Russia where everyone is trying to leave and NOBODY wants to enter. That’s why countries like Russia and China are going to have a population crash in the coming decades and the United States won’t. For as much as I complain about our problems here we are definitely doing some things right if people are stampeding to get in here.

I am a relatively poor American. I wish I could just walk into a strangers mansion and just declare that I live there now

This is unacceptable and needs to be addressed.Cant have people invading your country they could be anybody until proven otherwise

Honestly, imprisoning immigrants is the nicest thing they could do. I wish they'd work on reconciliation and land back, so they can approach immigration in a better way. With proper stewardship of the land and an emphasis on community.

The world was meant to offer free movement for all. For thousands of years, that's how it was. The current system actually hinders human growth and prosperity. Just consider the United States. It's made of many states. If there's a problem in one place or lack of opportunities, people travel to another state. Thus, people have opportunities to change their without there being any problems for anyone. No one in California is crying that people from NY are stealing their jobs and vice versa. Likewise, if people had free movement globally, people could escape troubles in one place and create opportunities elsewhere. When such a situation exists, God's blessings come too. However, the current way only makes people have to choose between the devil and some sea.

Those border agents treated those immigrants with respect and dignity.. God bless Canada ?? America could never lol

You know CNN, you could start calling them people. And seeking asylum isn't illegal, you just want to dangle the red meat of illegality to get some hate-clicks.

Ok let's sanction Venezuela for decades even after they helped us in ww2 with their high quality heavy oil reserves, whats the worst that could happen...oh wait....dang

With global warming, Canada could become more welcoming!

Good people could help us to bring down the labor cost ?

This is a point out of like a million points to cross from USA to Canada and vice versa. Having the longest border between two countries, the US and Canada have the longest border between any two countries. There are many areas you could literally walk across the so-called border unseen

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. ❤

Look at america now it's becoming a 3rd world country. Immigrants have more freedom then citizens. They are even bringing the fentanyl in and yall could care less. Let the mafia in as well godbless you trying to say that the land was stolen and no one is illegal on stolen land now you guys wanna bring in more invaders onto my land I'm a native American you guys will destroy my home again

The liberal newsman says southern border is back to normal. What, Biden‘a normal, marmalade is a liberal version 10,000 illegals a day?! Only a liberal MSM could say this.

Canada is Extremely Racist, I have been living here as a black person most of my life for decades and WISH I could move to another planet in the galaxy

That woman from colombia claiming that she had to close her shop and move because her life was in danger. Well Colombia is a LARGE! country. Wasn't there any place in that huge country where she could have hide and make a new living??????\nAnd she already asked for asylum once and was denied. During that whole period till she entered canada illegally. Was her life not in danger then?\nTHE WOMAN IS A VULGAR LIAR. MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR REAL ASSYLUM SEEKER.\nLOCK HER UP AND DUMP HER IN A JUNGLE IN COLOMBIA

The pain of being immigrant God knows and the mother of Jesus ( parents) they could move day and night in the forest, mountains, rivers borders to borders. So any country fighting immigrants not giving them residence permit, solidarity then know God will punish your country.

Based on this news story, we could easily fix this issue by fixing the southern border.

I wish I lived closer. To help the New Canadian families. I know what paperwork is needed and where to stay. Just worked for government. They have traveled so far. So tired. Many have families. Many are running from extreme violence. If you were a parent and you didn’t leave to find safety and a better life. I’d question your parenting. Let’s be real. Sure they are using money that could be stolen by corrupt government ??‍♀️? I mean to go towards your ur roads schools etc. cough cough. But we live on a planet with others. Always have always will. And everyone is going through the same thing. You either live in a dangerous country or u live in a country having to help others. Just be getting grateful you were born in the “right” place.

meanwhile Canadians could leave the country

In a way…. We could use more money ?

I have any friends who are from other countries were trying to get their family members here legally through the legal process and it takes them literally 10 to 20 years and to allow people to just walk across the border and hand them work permits, hotel rooms and checks to support them is a disgrace.. these people for the most part do not speak, read or write English, whereas my friends families, for the most part do speak ,reading write English and a good part of them have college degrees who could contribute quite a bit of this country, but are not allowed to come here immediately.. these people should be allowed to come here immediately as it being sponsored have a place to stay and contribute…

Back in the day a Canadian could have came here and called just about any public place their home and they would have had everything they could have ever wanted in the time dimension but nobody just moves into this technology so it's kind of late for that kind of thing!

If they could afford 10 to 20 grand.\n\nThey’re not seeking anything but a free ride.

I didn't have any issues finding a doctor. And let me tell you more: I had a special requirement of having a Doctor who could speak Portuguese because of my wife, as she couldn't speak english at the time. I found a first doctor with absolutely no issues. In fact, after a couple of months I didn't like him very much, so we went ahead and found another one very quickly as well... Maybe I'm lucky.

Canada is pretty good with French immigration, the Middle East immigration and with people that are going to give something in exchange in their view, then all those people take the best and more they could and go back to their Countries. That kind of Immigration are using Canada to get the best and saying goodbye. But it is Canada's fault, too. Personally, I fed up of the system I am not white and no native French even I talk the both languages never turned to take me serious. So for me was better just went back to my country and never look back.

This is a never ending story. Illegals could not reach Canada if they were not able to enter America. Place the blame right where it belongs.

its scary we dont knw them peoples migrants they can smuggling isis Taliban russian tourists we could be in danger!

I have so much to say. I'm afraid of sounding racist. I dont like it. Dealing with this right now! There has been an influx in my town. Now there isnt housing left when we were fine before. My children are being slighted when they could be celebrating their 1st apartment. My interaction has been poor with a few of these people. Impossible to communicate. Very awkward having an 8 yo translate. Many want to move into nice neighborhoods but never follow the city code enforcement or rules. Then hide behind don't speak English! Same rug swinging on the side rail since January. Alot of weird shit with them. They need to fight back to get their country back. Sorry. I'm over it. They don't foster relationships with Americans anyway.

Canada sounds awesome for the immigrants now if they could all just find a way around the United States that would be perfect at least until America gets its head out of its ass and figures out how to regulate a border

You would think that warmer tropical countries would be a nicer place to live. If only we could stop doing drugs and fueling gang violence.

We already can't rent.. We need a looooot of free rental units to create a good offer & demand balance not xtra people.. Everything is in demand .Make them serve Canada ? with obligatory military service . They can be deserving, Build their entry housing & whatever we may need . I think you need to be a gift ? to get everything we have to offer. A lot of people live in worst conditions or in poorer countries worldwide. Lets be real ! We can't catter to the whole world. Refugees or future applicants could work in building housing / complexes or whatever our society needs. ?One day they actually will need thigs we don't have for them or us anymore yup ( HOUSING , HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, INFRASTRUCTURES, JOBS) ?KEEP THEM AWAY SO WE DONT SUFFER UNTIL WE ARE *READY TO WELCOME ANYONE*

Thank god canada allows them.. Who could possibly understand the terrible life they left behind and the struggle they had in order to reach the canadian border.. I am a canadian with no immigration issues..

Canada has been the good neighbor to the US for since the border was erected, rather than penalizing the people crossing from countries that are dictated to, perhaps they could help our drug addicts, our over worked parents, help our over worked nurses and doctors, if we can't fix other countries best we can do is help who wants to leave them for improved lifestyle choices.

This is terrible. Why can’t our government simply hire more people to process migrant applications? And why can’t the US do a better job of pushing back on dictators that ruin their own countries, like Venezuela? Or provide processing stations in other states and encourage migrants to travel their, or provide transport? I doubt that most people want to leave their own country if it was safe for them and their children. Surely better minds than Mine could find humane solutions. Maybe fast tracks no migrants with established relatives already in the US? Or migrants with skills (not necessarily money) but skills?

How about this one I was born and raised in Canada I’m 80 years old and have no family Dr I tried for years to get one I finally got one when I ended up in hospital and a kind nurse got me one who went on maternity leave and didn’t come back I asked if someone else could take me I was told no and yet they were new doctors they I came to the conclusion I was the wrong colour for the place !!! I’m white I guess I will have to get me one of those race card that are played by so many in this once great country Canada !!!! Just Saying

My childhood friend moved from California to outside of Vancouver right before entry into high school. He has a very high iQ. He was also well stable at home and was placed the highest you could be at the time in language and maths. \nIn high school in Canada, this AP American student, had to go to middle school for math. The Canadian school system didn’t offer algebra 2 above middle school. \n30 years. Do Both countries walk hand in hand thro troubles?! It seems like Canada is the younger brother that does better in grades but keeps quiet about it.

The difference in cost of living (Canada being higher) I think has become a problem. Also, everyone in the US doesn't have to live in NY or LA, so we can decide on a more affordable city to live in. It might not be as cosmopolitan as NYC or TO, but at least you can afford a home. My Mom was born in Ontario in the 20's, and migrated to the US in the 40's for lack of work. In the 80's, I would have loved to have moved to TO... even had girlfriends there, but doors just wouldn't open. Get in if you can, but if you take away the epidemic of U.S. gun violence (wish we could...), then America is still a good place to live and is still a magnet destination for the world. Great video!

So why are these students spending so much money on an education which guarantees no future, I accept India is lacking in job creation but I can guarantee the amount of money you are paying just to complete your college years is more than what you could invest on private colleges in India and create your small scale buisness, like it's bullshit to live a miserable life in Canada, away from your family and not trying to put efforts in your own nation... I agree India is not Canada but it's way better if you are Indian
