As an American, I can tell you the primary factor for many has been the cost of caring for the illegal aliens. A large number are receiving social services benefits greater than Americans in need, which has led to resentment.\n\nIn addition, some have argued (often disingenuously) that deporting illegals will help relieve our affordable housing crisis.\n\nAs the son of a (Finnish) immigrant, I'm 100% for legal immigration. However, one has to question the wisdom of accepting those whose first act on American soil is to commit a felony.

They Should Be Encouraged To Leave Given The Housing Shortage And widespread poverty, But Trudeau wants them to stay to further exacerbate the crisis he's caused by overpopulating Canada with foreigners during his tenure. \nA new report indicates that as many as one in five newcomers to Canada are now leaving after 25 years as their Canadian dream is shattered due to crisis after crisis over the last 9 years...

The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH.... Stock)

It feels so foolish to keep trying bandaid solutions that harm the US labor pool. There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in regards to this. \n\n1. Most developed countries on earth are in the midst of or are preparing to deal with population crisis and depopulation. Strong immigration to the US stems this issue and is actually a huge advantage to the power and continuing visibility of the USA.\n\n2. Deportation and border control strike at the effect of immigration and leave the cause unharmed. People come to the USA because there's opportunities here, so why not make opportunities abroad?\n\nIf the USA were to remove benefits of dealing with china while offering massive incentives for moving manufacturing away from china directly to Latin America, not only would we be countering our Chinese dependency but we would also provide jobs at home and stem immigration. Not only that, but the businesses would be American and be controlled by Americans - a huge incentive to stay friendly to the USA.\n\nI don't know, just seems like our current policy and especially what Trump is suggesting are counter productive and stuck in a bygone way of thinking.

I see a lot of (what I assume is MAGA) crying about confusing illegal and legal. Clearly this video was mostly about illegal. But the few charts with legal immigration data included show that there is a turn against both legal and illegal immigration (see chart on left at 1:50 ). Seems like MAGA victimhood seeking, as per usual ? Also note the massive run-up in Trump's 1st term in encounters (tripled from 2017-2019) ? He was only saved by COVID collapsing the economic drive for illegal immigration. And even then, most of the run-up post COVID lockdown was in place by Jan 2021 ( 3:30 ). So he does not have a great 1st term record, despite the hot air. Let's see this time, will be interesting to have the massive military deployment needed to detain, intern and eventually deport the 12m or so total ? Note again how that number has been basically constant over very slightly declining since 2005 see at 4:15 . Hmm, manufactured crisis? ???? Can't wait for the induced Trump inflation. ? Anyway, all hail glorious leader! One land, One people, One leader!

One point that a lot of fellas forget is that this crisis also affects neighboring nations. Gangs from Mexico to Ecuador are making a lot of money with human trafficking. Fighting against this reduces the amount of money organized crime earns and in turns helps other countries in the Americas.

Ironic that China is refusing deportees when their country is facing a population crisis

West companies wanted cheap labourers cause paying local with fare wages was less profitable that's the only truth ya all need to know about illegal immigrants crisis causes..

There is one huge factor you missed about the immigration issue and that is the drug crisis aswell. Fentanyl gets smuggled across the southern border aswell, and this pushes harder border protection

There's a piece missing in the puzzle. Has anyone asked where's Mexico in all of this? everyone seems to forget that they're America's southern neighbor, and they're not helping with anything to mitigate the border crisis. Mexico has to be sanctioned, because they're not actively partaking in the protection of the shared border with the US, they're allowing immigrants to cross the border unchecked, sparing themselves the trouble of dealing with them. They're throwing the ball in America's court, making immigration America's problem. Since they share the border with America, they have an obligation to combat illegal immigrantion but they're not doing that. They want to get rid of their crimnals and the poverty in their country not by enforcing the law and trying to invest in their infrastructure to enhance the living standards of their people, instead they're encouraging them to move to America to find a better life. America doesn't have to pay the price of Mexico being a failed country. They're turning their backs on their own citizens and trying to get rid of them, obliging them to take the perilous journey across the border where they're prone to crime, drugs, rape, human trafficking, sex trafficking, child abuse and all sorts of tragedies but to them the ends justify the means, and they have the nerves to call America racist and inhumane for not rescuing them from the situation that they created for them in the first place. Since the vast majority of illegal immigrants came across the border with Mexico, they should be deported back to Mexico, and Mexico can take it from there, not our problem anymore

I always wonder why people in US even care. Like, okay, you need to enforce law, yet I think that it mostly because people assume it spike up crime, exacerbate housing crisis (which is not really caused by immigraiton), which is presumptions. Guys, immigrants maybe enter illegally, but they not necessary villains.

They’ll come here and then be sorry they did. We don’t have enough housing or jobs for our own people. Where will these people go…they’ll be on the streets. We can’t accept any more immigrants until they solve the crisis going on now.

Diana McNally - Most eloquently put verbage on the REAL reason for this crisis I have ever heard. - 7:12 mins to 8:02 mins.\nAnya Ettinger - 4 mins in. - Well said as well! Thank you for taking the time to publish this report / story.

what was not mentioned in this short video that should have been is proof that immigration is not causing the housing crisis. That is that the housing crisis now extends to small towns and rural areas. It's almost as expensive to rent in those areas these days. I know this because I have been seeking to move out of Montreal to a smaller town for the past 3 years and cannot find anything in my price range (been looking at rural Quebec and Ontario). \n\nHere's the thing, immigrants come to major urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver and to a lesser degree, Montreal. They do not go to rural areas or small towns at least, not in the first few years they're here. Given that, why does the housing crisis extend to small town and rural areas if migrants are not coming to those places?

Come to Surrey BC! I've lived here all my life, and live about 7km's from the house I was brought home as a baby, so I've never left this city, and I, like that gentleman and lady you talked to, often feel like I am the only Caucasian in Surrey! Go by any elementary school, and you'd find it difficult to see any hair colour than straight black! Like when I went to school, so many now are driven to school by parents or grandparents that where brought over to Canada as well, so traffic around schools very often is chaotic at best! The once peaceful sound of birds singing, is now taken up with sirens, from ambulance and fire trucks, it's hideous! I too would love to move, but we keep asking, 'where'...as we'd like to be in an area with just caucasians, to feel 'at home' again! It's not that I don't like the people, but most in Surrey, are much more well off than the average Canadian, driving high end cars, and even their teenage kids have high end vehicles. So, like many Canadians, I'd just like to see normalcy & common sense once again, and a complete end to immigration, until ALL of our crisis's are taken care of!

Like the Mexican Government, the Cartels Have a Vested Interest in Managing the Flow of Migrants \nr \nFAIR Take | November 2024 \n \nIn the closing months before the U.S. elections, the number of encounters of illegal aliens entering the U.S. has declined significantly. This September, 144,666 such encounters were recorded, down from 370,883 in December 2023. Everything is relative, of course. The September 2024 figures were still huge by historical standards, and nearly five times greater than the number of encounters Jeh Johnson, Homeland Security Secretary under President Obama, said would constitute a crisis. \n \nAs FAIR has reported, the Biden-Harris administration deserves very little credit for decline in border encounters since last December. Rather, the administration cut a deal with the government of Mexico to impede the flow of migrants heading north, as the elections approached. Overt action on the part of the Biden-Harris administration would have enraged the political base of President Biden and Vice President Harris, so, earlier this year, the administration essentially outsourced the job to the outgoing administration of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (who left office on Oct. 1).\n\nSOURCE, FAIR US org

The American people voted this. Democrats caused this crisis. So no matter what CNN or their cherry picked guests say. We want illegals deported! So do it!

Clearly the this comment section is full of the dumbest people.\n\nAll virtue-signaling and talking about how this woman is an evil person because she's standing for what it RIGHT, at the expense of her own personal interests.\n\nAs though that's not of far greater virtue than being in favour of the illegal immigration crisis that has caused ACTUAL, tremendous harm to the country.\n\nThankfully most Americans are much smarter than you clueless folks, so there's some hope.

This is going to be interesting but you voted for him now live through the crisis he's about to create

Excuse me who exactly is getting you to spew this dis information ! 50.000 .... For set up !? NO CITIZEN ON DISABILITY GETS THAT !!!! And Housing is in CRISIS !!!! ...... 8 - 13 hour wait times in ERs in my city !!!!! COME ON CANADA YOUR BEING LIED TO .....WAKE UP CANADIANS YOUR MEDIA IS OWNED BY THIS CURRENT CORRUPT GOVERMENT !

I say we ask Kamala and the Biden family to pay the bill since they mismanaged this crisis.

They came in the US illegally when US started deporting them its Human rights abuse, and she wants Canada to be compassionate and humane for the refugee,We still have our own immigration problem our unemployment rate is high,our inflation is high,our medical system is already stretched , and housing crisis, she want canada to be nice and kind..??

This where Canada good at, giving freebies for refugees and asylum seekers, while the economy facing crisis.. We citizens pay huge taxes for this, Wow.. im not against it.. but they should have control… government should let the temporary foreign workers and international students to stay,, they contribute more for the economy unlike on this refugee and asylum seeker

These people are crazy. We have a economic crisis in Canada right now we need to deport our illegal immigrants why would we take on people who didn’t immigrate properly in the first place there not victim they over stayed there visas or illegally crossed the border

Its going to be funny watching them try to do this lol if by any chance they manage to do it businesses will collapse and the US economy will start to collapse. These are the slave people that do the work no one else wants to do or they wouldnt be here. I got the popcorn ready for this humanitarian crisis

He doesn’t understand the agricultural labor crisis. This will cause American farmers to suffer and face major crop losses because they won’t have the labor to harvest. That will hurt the farmers and the people who buy food at the store.

Economic indicators say the economy was good. The economy and GDP grew, but the working class didn’t think so. Well, when the number of illegal immigrants per year far exceeds the number of new jobs per year, then the wages of the working class people will not keep up with inflation. Under Biden, the new jobs each year was an average of 1.2 million, but the number of illegal immigrants coming in looking for jobs was over 2 million people. For comparison, under Obama illegal immigration was just 300-400K per year. So as you can now see, the border crisis was a much bigger issue than the Democrats cared to admit.

The amount of mental illnesses showed by the blue is truly unsettling, the belligerence, the screaming the crying, all over the election. Yall need some help, you know they got pills for your crisis.?

And.....POOF! MAGA already made THE DEBT CRISIS! disappear.

Drop crime....relieve housing crisis....mass deportation back TO El Salvador sounds WONDERFUL

Question: \nWhat politician right now is hand wringing knowing it's more voters and a perpetual crisis to quell our civil liberties? \nAnswer. The new underground hwy a year before the scheduled buri, er, election.

I am sick to death of media cherry picking facts they want to share. Oh poor immigrants. I am sorry, if this harsh but America can't fix the world and we aren't responsible for those from other countries. It really annoys me that all we hear is poor immigrants and immigrants rights. Sice Biden has taken office the housing crisis has gotten out of the control. Why? Simple math, you move in billions of people, equal population what you already have, but can't increase housing, they have to go somewhere. With the government helping migraints, more is going to them than our own. What is happening is they are pushing out people in migraint held cities and displacing existing residents. So those disbled , elderly, veterans and drug addicted people who are being displaced are being forced to smaller communities that don't have the infrastructure in place to cope with so many displaced people. Then you end up with a huge issue of Homeless people trying to live in Tents in the middle of winter. j You have a vast number of elderly women taking to van life because they can't afford to live any other way. Would you like to your Grandma living in Van, constantly on the go? YOu are being UNAmerican in your news reporting, when you fail to give fair reporting and do equal amount of investigating into who this actually affects amount the American people. Far as I am concerned you need to be shut down, because you are enemy of the US.

Food crisis looms. America be prepared.

It’s Trudeau who impacts Canada’s illegal immigration crisis not Trump.\nWe’ve been burdened by Trudeau for yrs now……

The housing crisis is much worse in China, we have to work hard more than 20 years to buy a house in second-tier cities.

Bhai in sab se resolve nhi Hoga.. because crisis already hai Aur ye log Abhi BHI PR dene ki bat Kar rhe. Dusri bat intra company transfers without LMIA ki to bat hi nhi ho rhi. wo BHI kafi log Hai Jo companies idhar se hire na Karke bahar se log ate hain

Teri crisis ke spelling ‘Crises’ ko dekhkar pata lag gaya why they want to reduce immigration.. they got people like you

How can that Oldie Woman be aggressive? She cannot even walk properly. Indians learn to play the crisis card from the Whities once they land in Whitie Dominated Land

Please don’t deport them to India, they are already outcasts here. Even though we have a comparatively better job market here, these idiots would cause a crisis. I am not even against racism against those guys. They chose to live as a second class citizen in a 1st world country than being a 1st class citizen in their hometown

The big threat is the Heritage Foundation‼️\n?? & second idiot r the front for this racist group...don't be fooled bc they wear suits & r Bible beaters(hypocrites). \nBEWARE BEWARE ⚠️☢️\n?????????????\nFLORIDA VOTERS \nPINK SLIP SLIMEY SENATOR RICK SCOTT FROM REELECTION.HE LEADS THE WAY ADVOCATING FOR DISSOLVING MEDICARE AND SS BENEFITS. ALSO, AS GOVERNOR, CAUSED THE HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE CRISIS...AFFECTING FLORIDIANS TO THIS DAY??????\nTEXAS: GET RID OF CRUZ, TOO; THE VILLAGE IDIOT???‍?

This isn't just a white or black thing it's an out of control immigration system where people use loopholes in the system to gain residency. This anti-immigration isn't isolated in fact most immigrants who's lived in Canada all their lives have expressed deep concern that the government is letting in too many from one nation and the lopsided admittance is part of the concern. The metrics of the majority of new immigrants come from the Middle East and India how can anyone not notice the concern that many have been expressing for a decade. Canadians aren't against immigrants it's that we didn't expect to just let anyone in without actually knowing how to speak English or have etiquette and follow laws. Many have concerns that many of the new comers can't even speak English yet they have license to drive and how do we get around most bend the rules or the law. Myself I've notice a skyrocketing scam scheme and how can you not equate that to the rise in our broken immigration policy. The last time I heard you had to have certain criteria to be considered to immigrate and why is that some countries like from the South Pacific you need to know English have money in the bank and a skill or degree on a list of acceptable qualifications. So many who can't even read or write English have jobs, drive a car, then to make matters worse have housing yet we have a crisis? Most Canadians see the pattern and most are educated enough to know there is something to be said, loopholes and when they find it they abuse the system.

Please consider that anyone can become a refugee, stop telling people to go back where they came from. There are so few cultures already that are welcoming of neighbors in a crisis. Stop speculating who is legal or who shouldn't be, it's honestly evil.

Selfish lady. If she were to endure a health crisis. Who would care for her? Trump

Medical care crisis… Logement crisis… if the infrastructure isn’t good, don’t keep welcoming people who could adapt better in other countries, with a similar weather, language.\nMost fake persecution….. ????

The damage is already done, and if you live in Vancouver you know what I mean. Before it was just restricted to neighborhoods. Now entire cities/municipalities are overrrun with ethnic minorities becoming enclaves, where you don't even feel like you're in Canada anymore. In particular, the amount of Chinese and Punjabi's the Trudeau government has let in is astounding. Nobody speaks English anymore. Its insane! They've completely taken over. This has effected housing costs and availability. There is now a job shortage, a health care crisis and vehicle traffic that doesn't let up until after 8pm. Only thing left to do at this point is cancel all study and work permits and if you don't have your PR card, then you leave!

Our housing crisis is leaving Canadians homeless. Not really promising for immigrants if they end up in the growing tent cities.

Housing crisis, affordable land and houses, letting spies in the country take your pick

I am an immigrant who came here 20 years ago i believe it worked out well when we had 200-250k immigrant target per year and reduced when theres economic crisis below 100k for only critically short industries. I highly recommend to restrict immigration to avoid housing shortage first because theres nothing worse than Canadians living in tent even if many of them worked and tried.... - as an immigrant i supprt Canadian first direction to honor this great country

We've been telling them this for years and called racist because of it... it's called pro math, pro common sense, pro CANADIAN. Housing crisis since trudeau too office and it has doubled if not tripled since then. LPC are traitors through and through, betrayed the Canadian people in favor of non canadians.

A new system has to come.We want to get rid off inflation, housing crisis and unemployments. \n\nAs per the prime minister TFWs will get a chance to get PR in next years ,that will definitely increase the burden again. Try to reduce TFWs and PRs in next years.
