Good take them back take them all the way back, We can't afford to feed them our economy is in Jeopardy, our people are going to be cut off of SNAP benefits. We certainly can't give SNAP benefits to them. New York City needs to stop this nonsense. Now we can't afford ourselves. We can't afford illegal immigrants

Wait…migrants can afford to fly?

I can't afford to eat. How the heck are they able to justify this criminal activity.

So Hocul is for taxes on the people who can least afford it (AKA congestion pricing) and protecting criminal aliens. GOT IT.

Where are these so call impoverished people getting all the money to fly anywhere and how do they off the plane no docs to get into Canada much less America. WTF. I can't afford to fly upstairs to my crapper.

We need to cut off the free stuff and go after the employers too. We can’t afford this.

I am always amazed at how these poverty stricken people have so much funds to enter the US illegally but somehow don’t have the funds to follow immigration laws, complete the documents and pay the filing fees. People can come from all over the world to enter illegally yet how many Americans can afford to travel to a foreign country?

It's absolutely clear by these northern crossings that none of these people are asylum seekers. They can afford to fly to Canada from other countries? Why don't they seek asylum there then? Nope. They're crossing to scam American taxpayers. And god knows what else.

From the forme Native New Yorker living in Miam.I can't even afford a flight to Canada. So you're flying from Mexico to Canada??\nComing to America??\nYou're rich, I know cuz you're staying at luxury hotels. \nLmao ?

Well, if they can afford to fly from God knows where to Canada (sporting current style clothing and brand new luggage), that blows up the leftist lie that they're all poor and oppressed.

Why are these illegal migrants claiming that they have hardship when many of them are overweight and obese how does that happen when as an American citizen I can't afford to buy food I can't afford to buy meat and many other things

We don't have Blackhawk helicopters. Cant afford them. lol\n If we are flying them/ America owns them.\nThanks Justin, just one more disaster you have caused to us Canadian citizens.

And who’s flying them all over the place I know I can’t afford to fly and they get free flights anywhere they want them and the homeless still flounder breaking the law by sleeping

American is 178th in the world for 'Infant Mortality'. Do you know this appalling fact? This tells me that Women can not access affordable Healthcare during pregnancy. And nothing has been done about it in decades. For a supposedly democratic society, not the political party, this is tantamount to genocide for the poorest American women and babies. And one in eight pregnancies have life threatening complications,. As Abortion has been banned in 38 States, with the fall of 'Wade and Roe' women are dieing, today in the States for a lack of proper healthcare. Trump has 'removing Birth Control' for all American women as the third item on Project 2025. This will build his Standing Army in 18 years, of unaffordable children, as indoctrinated disposable Soldiers or will make one of his Oligark Pals very wealthy, due to the lucrative Adoption business in America.. He is also, with his flurry of illegal Presidential Orders, skipping ratification by Congress, is bringing in a 'Family Vote' by the husband, for every woman who took her husband name at marriage,, 85% of women in America, will effectively be instantly disenfranchised. Keep the little woman home and pregnant, effectively unable to start businesses or get involved in politics. Now they want to 'check on' the Gold in Fort Knox. Can you imagine what will happen to that gold when the man with gold faucets in his home lays eyes on it? Just asking. Now that he has granted his wealthy friends $ 3.5 Trillion in tax breaks, in the first 3 weeks in office. Be aware of the goings on in the Oval Office. He has already stifled the Press. Hitler's methods of destroying a formerly democratic society. He is doing All these methods, and quickly. Look up 'Ask an AI how would you destroy America'... It is chilling.

Corrupt country. What about Fentanyl killing 1400 teenagers a year, needle attacks, crime rate, random assault, homelessness, affordable housing,... ?\nConservative and Liberal are the same sh!t btw

I pay tax and I cant even afford healthcare insurance. WTF is wrong with the government. There were time where I was considering to quit my job so I can get free healthcare.

These students can't complain about the student fee, Housing , food and living cost .\n\nU can blame trudue for lowering the standards for student visa. \n\nTo my knowledge from friends i know as students durring high-school vs students coming to study at college. \n\nPrior to this issue these a few mandatory requirements \n\n- parents most make over 200 k usd , and assets .\n\n- you must have xxx amount in usd dollars equivalent in your bank account and open a HSBC bank account with xxx amount \n\n - u must show you can afford for your child to stay at a mandatory homestay , all the associated cost staying and studying in canada for min 3 years \n\nJust passing the first 3 requirements, most ppl get rejected. \n\n- most leave the home stay due to culture differences and end up renting a 1 bed room condo. \nThat alone back in harper days was 20 k a year.\n\nMind you these students i met are from Vietnam, a 3rd world country where a university graduate with 2 degree will make only $500 usd which is consider a very good job . Its equivalent to5 k / month . \n\nSo thier dollar isn't worth much , for their parents to have that much money to send a 15 year old to study hs in a foreign country is a luxury only a selected few can dream of\n\nAlso none of them worked and work permit wasn't allowed. Even they were allow why would u when ur parents give u their debit card ~ visa card with allowance of 2- 3k to spend .\n\nInwould say 25% of these rich students go home within a year as they get home sick.\n\nToday standards\n\n- not many come as high school students as it's alot harder and still up hold strict standards as their still a minor. \n\n- college is easier route\nOnly have to prove u can afford the 1st. Year of study \n- a place to live\n- your parents can support you while ur here \n\nSo some one in India is faking the documents so they can come over strictly to work and pay for school and living cost. \n\nThis is why we have this problem. Even Vietnamese students doing this but alot work save all their money and go back home after their visa end. \n\nWhat ever they save in 3 years is like 10-20 years plus of saving working in Vietnam as these students are from.poor families barly getting by\n\nWith that being said, studying aboard is a luxury no matter what country ur from.\n\nImaginenthe cost of sending ur kids to the usa for school, most of will have to take. Out loans

If someone paid $10k for a birth, they probably had complications during the birth or the baby needed medical care, was premature etc. Not that they have crappy insurance. In Canada it costs NOTHING to give birth, or have complications, or have your baby in neonatal intensive care for months. $3000 to give birth is crazy. Who can afford that, along with time off and a new baby?

CNN you are seeing this because it the right thing to do your don’t understand how difficult life is right now for many Americans and I saying working Americans people that make 500 to 900 a week that can’t afford to pay they Rent and food but you don’t care about that

Because insurance companies run US healthcare, they rip people off. Americans are buying insurance execs yachts and mansions.\n\nWe also have pruvate healthcare that is still affordable for many people. I saw a concussion specialist for two hours taking tests and it was about $120.

Can't blame them but the life boat is taking on water and we can't afford anymore Democrats.

People praising the delivery guy's calmness?? He isn't calm. he just cannot afford to act angry and have to drink it all in just for the sake of survival that sad, sad on whole different level.

Good. Make owning affordable and people won't need to do this.

What Mrs.Palki Sharma won't talk about is that there are mass number of Indians abroad who find it very difficult finding jobs & there is also a rise in the issues of civic sense amongst many Indians abroad. Just because we're the 5th largest economy doesn't mean we out right deserve visas. Even those countries cannot afford everyone. The immigration policies of Western nations have actually become quite a burden for them, there's nothing wrong with restrictions, they're not rejecting everyone.

I've always been saying. The so called migration crisis has damaged countries more than wars. Cost of living has skyrocketed. Rents and demand are high (triggers inflation), salaries are low (cheap labor), cultural shocks.. The obsession in economic growth damaged nations irreversibly. My family was a middle-class Turkish, they bought a house, a nice car and i cant even afford to live in Istanbul. Average rent is 2/3 of my salary.. All because of migration. It turned into a hell culturally too. Everywhere is just the same. I dont even wanna imagine Europe in 15 years.. Our generation has no future. It hurts less when you accept the truth..

I left Canada last month, sold everything, Vancouver/North Vancouver...lived here for 20 years. Back to Germany where family is and moving to Portugal next within the few months. BC is just not affordable anymore, specially if you have kids. I love Canada, financially not doable tho, at least not for a single mom...tuition is a thing too... don't want to rent forever either...

That’s right it’s expensive can barely afford groceries but they suppose to be taking care of coming here illegally ???

Hi everyone, I'm just going to weigh in some experience here. These people have given up on their government to fix things. They had it good before when Venezuela was wealthy not so long ago. They want that back. Who wouldn't. They want a chance at a better life . They have in most cases already sold all possessions for traveling money and bribes or security. They are scared and tired of traveling. They got told to come to America by someone. I wish we could afford as a country to take them all and it be ok and they build a good life here. I wish it was like that. The system we have needs work for certain. The USA is being overwhelmed by too many coming. We have to slow the roll . But it's a bad situation for all involved. They will look for an illegal way if needed to make it. Hence the cartels step in and offer a way in exchange for money or drug smuggling and the trouble gets worse. There is no simple solution here. Rough on everyone.

Our tax dollars are paying to house these ppl in GB and fly them around the damn world, while we at home can't afford to buy a box of eggs. Wtf did yall vote for man,

If the students didn’t bring their habits with them and would assimilate, they wouldn’t have the problems they are having. They come and scam , sell dope, are perverted against white woman and 20000-500000 disappeared right of the plane. That’s a problem for the welfare, medical and affordable housing. Stay in India , lots of call centre jobs in Bangladesh.

Ooga booga can afford their cow democracy so maybe it’s better there for them. It’s a win win for Canadians and Indians to live in their home land.

this will deter them many have spent over 100,000 dollars to cartels to come here. they cant afford to do it again.

Canadians can't even afford to live in their own country ???

This madness of illegal migrants has to be stopped.\n\nHow can any country afford to accommodate lakhs of illegal immigrants every year.\n\nGood Job Border Patrol ?.

Don't come to Canada to study, if you can't afford it here!

No one can afford canada currently

Hey immigrants, bum rushing the USA no longer an option. The welfare program for our own idiots is expiring. So has the one for you. We literally can’t afford it. The Dems lied. This is not the land of milk and honey. Welfare heaven doesn’t exist. Go home. Work, sweat and toil every day like we do.

All they want to do is abuse our social systems we cannot afford the housing for everybody that doesn't pay into our system come into the country legally the legal way I will support you with immigration I will help you if you are weak I will use my tax money to make sure that your family is safe but please come to this country the legal way we are a melting pot we always have been immigrants have made this country the way it is we are all immigrants we took this land from the indigenous people That's all long said and done now we have a government and a society that works with working people helping each other out come in the legal way and you are welcomed with open arms You come in illegally and abuse our system and don't want to assimilate to our country and make us assimilate to you absolutely not hell no

Great news!!! Canadians couldn't afford indians to begin with

I am wondering why the video is FROM the incoming side, not the USA side. Also, I can not afford the luxury they have designer clothes, nice phones,etc.

We can't take care of the whole world. We can only afford our taxes to pay for welfare to a point and that point was reached a long time ago.

Amazingly they could afford to get the US..and they didnt walk..but they all plead poverty.OUT.

How do you think these Indian citizens got here? Sure as heck not illegally, what do you think? They swam or chartered a boat thousands of miles to enter illegally? Or was it they were legal and their green cards lapsed? Clearly, the latter is the answer - if true, why TF are they shackled like terrorists for letting a visa expire? How much does a flight to India cost? How many if these Indian migrants could have afforded it?

The absurdity of Trumps balanced trade argument is that the USA is a wealthy country and he is projecting that wealth upon his trading partners when in reality the trading partners are not as affluent as Americans. They simply cannot afford to buy as many goods as the USA. To equalize trade requires more affluence in these trade partner countries, instead of crippling them with additional costs. Additionally Trump does not concede the difference between buying raw materials vs finished goods. When USA buys endless oil from Canada, and Canada does not buy enough cars from USA, you will have absolutely an unavoidable trade imbalance. Average GDP per Canadian is half the GPD of USA per person.

We export our goods / services to America &. keep our export earnings in US as forex rezerves as USD is reserve currency. Rest of the world follow the same. Cant US afford to give sundry jobs to illegal immigrants? Rest of the world should withdraw Foreign currency reserves from US & minimise dependency on US goods & services.

7-8 people have to share a tiny apartment with just 1 washroom & toilet as they can't afford the sky high rents

Many many many Indians (even doctors are leaving the UK as they just cannot afford decent housing)!!

Its corporate greed which has trickled down into all areas of life. Rents, property values etc etc. No government can fix it in a democracy because capitalism gives greed the platform. Record profits during covid says it all. Recessions give a partial temporary reboot and depressions are devastating and take a long time to recoup from. I live in a rural small town, retired, own my house and debt free . Low property tax and affordable housing and rents but in the Maritimes. Cities are the worst to survive in. I feel for all that are struggling but Canada is a great country and better than most but one must be willing to relocate to areas that they can afford to live in and still have steady work.

lol, Canadians cannot afford Canada either. Leaving soon. Allegedly!

I can afford a home in my own damn country while we're paying for them
