If you want a visit visa for US you are interviewed by an immigration official and these criminals would be rightly refused.

Not only this but they are renaming streets for native american names that nobody can pronounce in some places and giving land back to natives. Some people are losing their property over this.

This cannot happen soon enough. Canadians are dieing in vast numbers on our highways from these folks unable to drive in our systems. Cars are stolen in large numbers, extortion is rampant, home invasion is at an all time high. These folks obviously are not responsible for all of it but they play a big part in the problem. The obvious protesters that are interfering with everyday life and the obvious hatred towards certain groups needs to be dealt with. Send them home since they do not appreciate being canadian.
Lists multiple crime and safety concerns (highway deaths, car theft, extortion, home invasion) attributed to immigrants.

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.
Combines personal border experience with unsubstantiated claims about 50,000 missing students and criminal infiltration, expressing security anxiety about immigration and border control.
