Why aren't people honest and just say they left because they wanted to make more money? People like you post videos trashing Canada and yet somehow benefit from Canada. Very self-serving videos. I'm not sure what your living situation is, but it probably doesn't apply to most of your viewers. People don't have two-bedroom apartments in Vancouver, and not being able to host is just a lame excuse. Anyone with more than two brain cells can see beyond your shallow arguments. If you have to trash things to make money, it smells fishy. Grow up, dude?

And when i say the wall need to be built popple look at me like I'm racist like i am immigrant i was poor born in a port in God grace we manage to get our visa and passport, i am not even joking qhw. I'm saying one day we will only eat rice i know where I come from, war, dangerous street at night, just crazy stuff be happening like this is not right it doesn't matter how u look at it American as an immigrant yes there are certain i don't like about the country but what the hell is this.

I'm Mexican, I live in Mexico but in the borderline between Mexico and United States and this immigrant behavior is just so embarrassing and unacceptable.\n\nTrump was a racist and I don't agree with the inhuman way he treated foreign people. This doesn't mean you have the right to enter to someone's house with out an invitación. They are so wrong, just proclaiming rights from other country they don't have, United States or even Mexico is NOT in obligation of helping them, we do it as a favor and they need to understand that. ITS A FAVOR. They should be thankful for any thing they receive from us.

CNN doesn't know why this is happening? Just wait for Title 42 to end. You think we have a problem now? Apparently 81 million wanted a better life for the rest of the world, while enslaving their own kids to take care of the rest of the world. Way to go

These guys are about to find out why the US doesn’t have free healthcare. It’s all fun and games until you hear free bird playing

These are the folks that were gaslighted by the US propaganda who supported the selling of their country resources to US corporations, the US corporate doesn't need you any more .. thank you .

Why doesn't Mexico do anything?

When our leader doesn’t care oh wait we thought he cared. Went to part of the wall but they cleared everybody so made it look like nobody goes there

Maybe if venezuelans had a president that doesn't address a hungry constituency while chomping on an empanada during a press conference they would flourish in Venezuela. The problem is that socialism and socialist leaders epically fail every time..

Give one warning over a loud speaker, then rubber bullets and tear gas. If that doesn't stop them, switch to live rounds.

Well since more than 4 million have come on threw Texas WHY doesn't Mexico just build them a state over there we have enough !!!!

My friend is from Mexico who came to the US legally and has been a border officer for many years now. He has a very hard time telling Mexican migrants that they cannot enter the US illegally. But the law is law and it is the same if you enter Mexico. It's just a matter of Mexico doesn't have many opportunities for jobs that pays well and it's a better life in the US. I grew up with migrants all of my life. They worked 3 jobs for many hours per day but would rather have that than go back to Mexico - with no job. If Mexico had a flourishing economy, I feel migration isn't an issue. But then there's history - California belongs to Mexico but someone sold it to the Americans long ago.

That you Joe Biden! \nWhat kind of president doesn’t pay any attention to his country’s borders. So embarrassing

You guys are following instructions from a channel who doesn’t know whether it’s LEMIA or LMIA. Please do your own research since everything is available on internet and apply on your own

Do these News anchors know or realize how bad Juarez is??? how inhumane you sound when you say that they should fix their problems in Mexico??? Mexico doesn't even care about fixing it's problems!!! I say seek a better life it's what any living American would do if America was anything like Mexico or Juarez believe that!!!

To all the people in the comments upset with poor, desperate, people with no power instead of the American government that has undoubtedly destabilized these countries to the point where their citizens are fleeing to other countries…know that you are angry with the wrong people!\n\nThese people just want better lives for their families! That should cause everyone to question why they want to leave? Is there something we can do to support change in their countries so they don’t want to leave? Can we advocate for that in our politics? Is there something we can do to make housing more affordable? There isn’t a housing shortage, we have 600,000 homeless with millions of vacant homes! Can we advocate for the rights of people over giant real estate companies like Blackstone gobbling up houses and apartments, making them unaffordable before we scream that there aren’t houses for these people?!\n\nThe complete lack of effort around finding a solution is mind blowing to me! Everyone just resorts to basically saying they should all be kicked out!! Why can’t we find a solution? I just don’t get why this is such a controversial issue! Kicking them out or criminalizing them is just sweeping the issue under the rug. It doesn’t solve the problem, meaning after a while they will come back and we will be right back where we started. \n\nI guess I just feel like there should be a little more compassion and problem solving when talking about immigration!

Is not they fault it's the United States fault it doesn't apply its law

I had the opportunity years ago of applying for a visa for America, working 2 jobs, healthcare that I’d be in fear of bankrupting myself by using and a 60 hr week doesn’t attract me

Why forsaken your homeland and then wave your flag like coward in another land.. it's honestly sad.\n\nI understand the corruption btw.. \nStill doesn't justify them running away, if you have so much pride to wave your flag then fight for it.. don't wave it as a hypocrite.. what a shame. \n\nIdk what these people want but they won't find it here.. the funds are messed up and not in anyone's favor.. we can't help them no matter how much they want it.. it's sad.

Our fu$$ed up President has an open checkbook for other countries and doesn’t give a $hit about Americans with his open borders. All of them come her and get free housing, medical,dental,education,drivers license, food ,cell phones, groceries and free housing

This is insane and unbelievable it's literally an invasion... Every single one of them is stealing a home from somebody in America that doesn't have a house every one of them is stealing a job from somebody that doesn't have any skills to do anything that needs a job to survive.. every single one of them is stealing resources from Americans

Biden doesn't see any problem with this!

It's such b******* that our country doesn't put a stop to this b*******. Americans are having a hard enough time as it is with housing, rent, food, we are just getting COVID under control - These other countries don't vaccinate. Folks can't read English, they want to drive, they don't get insurance - sorry I'm against it I think the border wall needs to go up and stay up, increase border security -They don't respect our laws.

What this piece of s*** president is doing is unbelievable and it just doesn't give a crap as bout the American people!!! Who voted for this pile?! You who did didn't have a brain then, hope you do now!

It so sad that this administration doesn’t do anything about securing our borders….why? When can we take care our own problems ? What are this politicians doing? Are they even thinking for our future and for a better way of living in this country America ?

Republicans tell us that this is what an open border looks like. Sure doesn’t look open to me.

Born and raised Cdn and every point you raise is valid IMO and experience. I love my country however, it is hard to get ahead, we work too much, and cost of living is so expensive. The reason why Canada is wonderful for those who stay is A) Charter of Rights and Freedoms - we are protected by laws and citizens enjoy legal, justice, policing and gvmt services that help protect quality of life. B) it is a safe country primarily and not easy to reach for insurgents, terrorist attacks and political anarchy etc. C) We have so much land and space for people to decide where they want to live - density is not high so you can have space. D) it is a beautiful country with awe inspiring nature. E) we do have one of the best immigrant populations and that is our crown. Being diverse is a blessing so if you are atheist, Christian, Muslim etc doesn't matter - you can enjoy freedom to worship as you wish. And F) Healthcare could improve but, the quality of care is world class and speaking as a breast cancer survivor who's treatment ran $120k (diagnostics, chemo, surgery, radiation, med professionals, rehab and drug therapies) we have access to that care whereas in other countries you may not.

Arrest those who hire illegals, make them prove there homes, cars and business's were purchased with $$ that were obtained thru the use of illegal workers. Also mandatory prison time, 2 yrs per Illegal used, up to 20 yrs. This time given to the 5 top people running the business. This will stop this invasion of our country. Also if a government person doesn't enforce the laws immediately impeach them, like Mr. 10% and the Homeland security fool.

we need to vote Republican,so this doesn't happen anymore

Well too bad this is happening. I guess my country doesn't follow the law. They think they are above the law contrary to what they say. We are run by a gangster mentality. Corruption and violence.

People who think this is about Republicans vs Democrats don't have a clue and are just going with their biases. Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any other president (more than Trump I believe), Trump stiffened up the border, and Biden made measures to actually make it tougher for these Venezuelan immigrants to get into the US once the migrant herd was moving north. This is a result of Venezeula and their economic collapse. If it happened sooner, it would've happened during Trump's time. I'm sure once Biden is out and a republican is president (looks that way), they'll try it again. Even Mexico doesn't want them since they have their economic issues to deal with.

ILLEGAL entry, just cause they aren’t white doesn’t mean they can’t be illegal

So the US doesn’t want to open its borders to mexico so we can can come into the US legally but want to blast Mexico all over the media because mexico is limiting or closed its border to people coming from South America. This is the aftermath.

Doesn’t America have like a couple of ghosts towns give them one and I promise you it won’t be a ghost town anymore

I’m not trying to be disrespectful to anyone who comes to Canada but if you’re coming here legally, you should be arrested and charged but I also got a question. How are you going to take care of yourself food here is expensive rent is expensive utility bills expensive everything here is expensive, so how are you going to support yourself if you’re coming here with no money no resources it doesn’t make sense to me where the rest of us Canadians who live here are already struggling with high taxes. The high cost of living here is not any better than the USA so what are governments going to hand out free money to you every month give them a hotel to stay in give them free food is the taxpayer is it gonna end up paying for all of this? I’m just asking because I’m curious. .

We really need to focus on our needs and figure our own ? out. We need to stop trying to put our nose where it doesn't belong. No more immigration until we've figured out a solution to our homeless, drug, and violence problems.

My stepson gets cussing mad and swears this doesn't happen its all just fox news propaganda lmao

Only in America doesn't this happen

When your president is a dipshit and doesn’t protect your country, you get…

We’re taxed to death in Canada, the US doesn’t pay so much tax. Lots of doctors come here and doing taxi jobs they have to redo it.

Wait, Joe Biden doesn't think this is a issue, he says it doesn't happen...

I can barely pay rent, buy fokd for my family working fulltime. And the democrats want to bring people over for votes??? Shows that when I voted for Biden it was a mistake. And he doesn't give a f@#$ about me or my family excuse I'm not the skin color they want to pander to at that moment

It’s about time! My sister have all the proper documentation to come visit me because i gave birth but the immigration denied her coz she doesn’t have enough experienced travelling! Now this!!! What a letdown

Surprised this doesn't happen more often

We should really strengthen our southern border so shit like this doesn’t happen

Those that have a stable status in their country will never know how hard is to be in a situation where you need to leave your country or they will kill you just because. And other that live in a country where democracy doesn't exist. I play that God and Jesus help this people that help this migrants. And I play that all those in search of peace and a country to call home can find it. In Jesus name I play amen.

We are seeing this right now because the idiot you voted for doesn’t mind this happening. \nThink of the NYC mayor so upset about migrants being in his city. \nIt’s the “looks good from my house” train of thought. But Americans on the border are having their toy boxes turned upside down.

Why doesn’t the USA just go ahead and take over the entire country of Mexico? Or hell, all the way down to the Panama Canal would be even better for America, so much more land for farms, we can control the drugs again, and dammit, Mexicans are hard workers and loyal asf

Doesn’t matter how rich or fertile is the land , it’s people who make it good to live . Lack of will , corruption and recently added religion are cause of migration

The US government should give all those Venezuelans basic boot camp then deploy all Venezuelans back and armed, so that they can take Maduro down! Nothing worst than a town that doesn’t fight for his own ground and rights! Stop running away from your problems, stay and fight back!
