O_o Well this is a weird situation. I didn't expect a Mexican American immigrant to support Trump. She explained that she was technically legal. However I really doubt this. Trump is extremely racist. He would still deport this woman anyway. Maybe it is not just a racism thing. Trump is a felon. Felons are the last people that would consider the law. It is nice that this woman went the extra mile to be legit, but I think she is still shooting herself in the foot.

Canada is building a tonne of housing as is, a bit less than in the past, so yes, issues with the growth of red tape, zoning, development taxes, etc should be addressed, but the problem has mainly been that the population has been growing at an exponential rate, in the past decade. The construction workforce actually doesn't have that many immigrants - around 77% are Canadian born, compared to 73% of the overall workforce, and I suspect the 23% that are immigrants are probably mostly immigrants that have been here a while, with very few temporary workers (which are mostly in retail/commercial services, elder care, and agriculture). That means immigration has been a bigger problem for increasing housing demand, compared to any benefit to increasing the supply through increasing construction workforce, especially when you consider that the size of the construction workforce is proportional to the total population, while the housing demand is more correlated to population growth. \n\nThere is also the differentiation between expanding infrastructure/housing supply, vs improving/maintaining it. It would not be a bad thing if we were able to shift some of the construction workforce towards improving our stormwater infrastructure, fixing roads, and building transit alternatives (improves quality of life), rather than just building more and more new roads and homes just to keep up with population growth (maintains quality of life).

Congratulations for all the hard work and research you 've done to compile so many data and provide a comprehensive explanation of the current situation. I'm an immigrant looking to get my PR, I have qualifications from one of the top universities in the world, experience as an international consultant and most important I do respect the Canadian culture and follow the rules. However, even for me it is uncertain what is going to happen? and/or if the government will make more changes and kick us out hahaha. I do believe that immigration has poured a lot of money into Canadian's pockets and most of them are not considering that, some of that money is going to go to another country who is willing to manage immigration with a better approach and provide a more certain perspective to new immigrants. The government allowed many bad actors (locals and foreigners) to take advantage of the system and those who are going to pay the bill are new immigrants due to political elections, and that is just sad. We will see who are they going to blame for mismanagement of public resources and the possible crash of several industries, that are currently relaying on foreign money, once there are no new immigrants to blame. I agree with most of the new rules regarding immigration, but I strongly disagree with the political approach of how the government is blaming immigrants for their lack of proper management. I still believe Canada is a great country no matter the outcome of my personal immigration process, wish you all the best of luck!

I don’t know who needs to know this but as of 2022 if I’m not mistaken backed by the federal banks and the global banks, Mexico is not or no longer considered a third world country for the record it’s considered an upper business class country and it’s on the rise. It’s number five in the world for importing the exporting Number one is the USA ?? . I just wanna let that sink in. I really do hope that President Trump and the president of Mexico I hope they both come to an agreement because it will not be beneficial for both parties. At least the one who’s gonna fill it. The most will be US. It’s just gonna force Mexico to look elsewhere not to mention Mexico was back by the US dollar to an extent, and it also has the back of the euro force along with the Chinese currency Mexico forced to be reckoned with not to mention all the car companies that are being Located in Mexico cars that enter in and exit Mexico in the car market not to mention Mexico now has the biggest cobalt mining probably in the world if I’m not mistaken Mexico is now in demand. Mexico knows this now but it’s not stronger than the US but if the US no longer cooperates with Mexico in Mexico, no longer cooperates with the US well it’s gonna be pretty sad not to mention the amazing history they have Like when Mexico along with Brazil defended the US when they were crippled by Japan and when Mexico went to help liberate during the Nazi invasion in Austria, Mexico has a great history of warfare and defending this country as well. I’m proud to be American and I love my Mexican heritage. I just hope it doesn’t go too far

…OHHHH CANADA ?? ✨?????????….\n\n….Canadians are not proud of anything. I have lived here for many years, and people are sad, insecure, and afraid; they do not feel good about their reality! This is NOT me saying it; it is the feeling of the real Canadians themselves.....????????…..\n\n….They filled their society with people from the third world without telling them how to handle this; they were not educated about that. ???????‍?️??…..\n\n….Canadians tell me that the little Canadian talent goes to countries that are genuinely first-world. Therefore, there is only the average Canadian in Canada, who the Canadians themselves say is very mediocre and do not like effort. They feel threatened by foreign talent and become even more insecure because they see themselves overwhelmed by third-world people whom they consider inferior.??????????‍↔️????‍?????……\n\n….And how, in reality, they are racist at heart since white supremacy is encrypted in their soul, institutions, and everything. This causes them even more frustration because they cannot be better than the poor third-worlders who discriminate so much...?????????????????????????????……\n\n….Oh, Canada❤️! On the verge of collapse....\n\n….We love Canada ?? and we wish them the best…..✨❤️?????????????……

The problem I see it that Palestinians aren’t mistakenly considered a nationality or ethnicity. They are not. Palestinians aren’t ethnicity or nationality. Palestinian is historical and geographical term that being used to describe people who live in that nonexistent Palestine. Those people majority are Arabs. NOT to be confused with Arabs say from UAE for example. Just like Europeans aren’t ethnicity or different so Arabs. A Dutch isn’t Hungarian and a Norwegian isn’t Slovakian . The most Palestinian Arabs belong to Egyptian Arabs. They also have huge minority Turks and Iranians. Palestinian Arabs aren’t related to other Arabs. All they have in common is is a similar religion and language that might be similar or the same however that’s doesn’t make them related to Arabs who live i for example in Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates. Palestinians most likely descendants of the Mamluks, Egyptian Arabs and descendants of Turks and Iranians.

This was a great video! My family and I are considering relocating to Canada from the USA, as we are dual citizens, and this helps to explain what’s really going on up there. Still very interested in moving to Canada, but will need to do more research on areas that I think are best for us. Thank you for this detailed video!

Canada wants immigrants so they can pay them cheap for meanial jobs that nobody wants to do. Period. All your efforts spent getting a degree in something will be worth nothing here. Period. Even if you consider yourself super smart with an IQ above average and think you can defy the system, think better: yes you can go to school here and get your degree recognized, but is gonna take a lot of time and money, you'll probably have to work two jobs under shitty weather and pay the rent for an apartment not bigger than a shoebox, not to mention the college fees. Is it worth it? After 15 years spent here first as an immigrant and now as a citizen, I still have to understand what makes Canada so appealing to people. But then I came from Europe, where life is easy and relaxed, so I guess my point of view is biased.

Now Canada GOVT immediately need two point ...If Canada want more immigrants for future ...1...Introduce Affordable Apartment (2 or 3 Bed RM - to give special High Rise FSI ..So builders or Developers can Supply )...Otherwise today or Tomorrow if Canada need more immigrants (High qualified Labour) and not sufficient Houses ..So ..same situation will face in future ...2 ..For Immigrants Doctors & Pharmacist Graduation coarse for 4 Years ..This should change and introduce for only 1 years coarse ...They have already knowledge of their field (So why waste their Time ,Money)....If Canada interested to dump & wants more Immigrants ...Than ...Government also responsibilities to provide citizens ...Housing & Medical supply ...I wonder why last 10 years this two matter (Home & Medical) supply or facilities not consider this Canada Government ..? ..& ..only dumped new immigrants ..Therefore ..Today immigrant students rent one room and share 5 members in one room , + Price going up scarcity of home ..Due to ...This Canadian Government Peculiar Policy .

If you were to migrate to the country this immigrants came from no western person would be considered from that country. \nBut when so many immigrants migrate to western countries and claim asylum and get citizenships they call themselves Canadians.

I am seriously considering leaving canada. Its way too expensive and far too cold. Its just not very good here. Considering Eastern Europe, USA and Southeast Asia.

What the United States ( the incoming Trump administration) needs to keep in mind is that Mexico is a sovereign nation, not Puerto Rico, Costa Rica or some other puppet Latin American country that the US controls. It is vital that the US continues to practice a good neighbor policy with Mexico because, Mexico, has the freedom to illicit and develop strong alliance(s) with countries that are considered political adversaries of the US, I cite the Cuban-United States history of 1959.

Lower prices?! Of course that would be nice. Economically speaking, that means that a vast number of people want deflation. It could work in an economy not dependent on excess and consumerism, but the US economy is propped up on speculation and buying out of want rather than need. Deflation is considered an economic failure in this country. We target 2% inflation for fear that without it, people will buy less now and then there will be a downward correction on output and then jobs. \nIn any case, broad tariffs won’t be the answer to lower prices. A global economy is an efficient one, but often unfair or unkind in specific localities. The US has benefited from globalization and low cost labor elsewhere for decades. But the pendulum swung too far and now many Americans are feeling left behind. Tariffs could bring back jobs but on a 5 to 10 year timeline, not one 4-year presidential term, much less in a year.

Dear President Sheinbaum. We the American people have voted and CLEARLY spoken on this issue of illegal migration and fentanyl... and now all should stop! Consider this..if you do not support the stop of Illegal migration, the stop of fentanyl into this country, we the Majority of Americans will support President Trump to stop it with Military action. Think about this. We are not willing for any more of our people, our children to die because you are controlled by Cartels. We are not willing to permit this anymore! The US has more that 10 MILLION times the necessary power to stop you.

Question is then... what is considered their land? \nI would say, that it was taken by the british. \nThey could easily fit Israel in the southern part of Britain

Ya'll brought a Immigration lawyer, someone who directly benefits financially from all this to be an expert on the negative impacts of our immigration and asylum's system? 190,000 people illegally crossed from Canada into the United states in the past 3 years, yet she considers it a small amount.

I've been to many countries. You are going to miss all of the rights you and your children currently have. Now you may want to try Lebanon. If you go there you may be able to shape the new government. It has always been considered the gem of the Mediterranean. It's very Tolerant of differences.

I can’t understand why people in America can’t see that Trump is in the political game to meet his own needs and agenda!! In short he is the biggest and now the most untrustworthy criminal in the WORLD!!! He is going to destroy America and everything America stands for and he will do it with no considerations for the population!!! Why is one man, and a man with severe mental problems able to upend the total legal fraternity of a country and not be held accountable!!! The existing government can clearly see the dangers of this incoming administration but sit idly by and allow this corruption to manifest! Biden has the ability and powers of the presidency to stop Trump in his tracks, Why isn’t he? What is Biden afraid of? Trump is one man or is it the behind the scenes organisations that have installed trump and bought the presidency for him to serve their own agendas . With a total moron like Trump at the helm there are foreign adversaries that are going to complete the destruction of American institutions in a way that is going to severely damage Americas standing in the world!! The people that voted this evil man into office have no idea what hardships they are going to endure for the foreseeable future because a man like Trump doesn’t spend a minute of his day considering what’s best for someone else only his own interests!

Her response should be in comic book form or crayon, considering Trumps 7th grade reading level.

Considering how much of the problem has already subsided, DJT will have no problem selling his efficacy to 49% of America. Now he should focus on collecting all those overdue payments on the wall.

The letter has more content, I invite everyone to read the whole letter. The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum also talks about the illegal weapons that are being shipped to Mexico from the USA, 70% of those weapons are manufactured in the USA. Let’s remember that violence is a huge cause of why people migrate, people don’t want to leave their country of origin, the want to be safe. So, Mr. Trump, consider your country’s illegal actions before speaking.

My husband and I are engineers from the US and Mexico and have lived in Germany for 15 years. Both speak fluent German and have raised three kids here. Yes, many people are racist. But if you learn the language well it’s not that hard to integrate and then things get much better. Germans can be the best friends you’ve ever had, much better than superficial Americans, but it can be hard to break through the shell. We have always loved it here. But to be honest with the steadily declining economy, massive scarcity in housing, and no salary increases in years, we are considering leaving as well. The outlook isn’t good for the Automotive industry and we could make double or triple the salary elsewhere. It would be very difficult to pull up our roots now gs better get better quick or we won’t stay much longer.

Why doesn't she have her indian passport ? you can't abandon your country's passport and then cry when visas are not delivered. But i agree that the officer should consider the situation and how important it is for someone. I guess we have to hear the full story to have the full picture.\n\nEdit : India doesn't allow dual citizenship according to google, that may be why she needs a visa for her own country

Gun shot injuries are the first, ie most common, cause of death for children in the US. It seems that it is a huge problem if that is considered Normal and acceptable. Very sad indeed.

Anyone considering rural ontario needs to be very very careful.?

So if you're not allowed to discuss religion or politics, that is why this country is in the terrible mess it is in because that leads to people not even thinking about religion or politics because it's considered a taboo subject.

I understand, but some compassion should be considered to individuals who are escaping violence in their country..

Immigrants are leaving because Justin Trudeau jagmeet Christian freelund have stolen everything from people take them to prison than we consider staying in Canada

I know why they are leaving.. because I’m considering it too! \n\nAnd all because of the corrupt criminals in government!

If we, as Americans, were to move to another country, like Sweden, we would be required to go through the process of becoming legal citizens. Every country in the world enforces its borders, so why is it considered wrong when we do the same?

When canadians are considering leaving , its a sign ?

Living near Tories would make anyone consider moving elsewhere.

Considering the ignorance and hypocrisy in this society, it’s no surprise people choose to leave.

I am Latino and live in Australia legally, but unfortunately much of my family was pressured out of Mexico due to cartels and gang wars forcing them to cross the border. Altough many got their green cards, some are considered illegal immigrants yet have done nothing wrong. The lack of empathy in this world in concerning...

Any politician/corporation/CEO that supports, ignores or enables the breaking of laws, should be considered to be in breach of those laws as well. Any one that makes use of or allows illegal (as in breaking the law) immigration/immigrants should be removed from the post and jailed. \n\nWhy do liberals progressives think they are above the law or that they only need to follow the laws that they want too? I can only hope Canada, the UK, the US and EU see extreme changes to our immigration and protections put in place for citizens and our cultures in the future.

I can’t believe people actually think that Trump will deport more than 20 million people, when that’s literally practically impossible considering how many immigrants aren’t willing to leave and the ones that are scattered across huge areas. The realistic conclusion is he deports most illegal immigrants in big cities which would be about 3 to 5 million over 4 years

Why a gov exercising sovrenty over its border is considered controversial? If democrats have problem with immigration policy change the law of who is allowed in rather than breaking the law...

Dwight D Eisenhower did the same thing and he's considered one of the best presidents in history. I fully support this plan. Jocelyn Nungaray didn't deserve her death

Why does the media try to merge the issue of illegal immigration with legal immigration? This kind of coverage maybe considered insulting to the latter category

Considering that someone who is identified as having illegally entering the country is no longer eligible for a green card, this lady may want to just say good bye to those family members.

May Allaah be with u all. I would suggest Malaysia. Im considering the same in sha Allaah

Has anyone considered the logistics of deporting 11 million people?\nHalf of them are Mexican and could be transported by ground. 5.5 million people; that is 55,000 bus loads.\nThe rest would have to be transported by air or boat. That is 27,500 air bus loads. I will leave it to others to calculate boat loads.\nThat will not be cheap. Perhaps it is best to let them stay here and pay taxes.

I bet her if Trump sees her along someone else whom he considers “an illegal” she would get deported the same way. He sees NO difference!!! How stupid

I thought Mexicans were family oriented? Trump considers her garbage and would never want her in his presence.

Us conservative's DO consider her American. This IS her country. And no- LEGAL immigrants are NOT going to be deported. They feel the same way about legal immigrants as they do illegal ones, yet both Trump and JD's wife's are legal immigrants? Lol. This comment section is laughable. Good for this lady for standing up for what is right regardless of who gets mad at her for it. She didn't turn her back on them; they stopped talking to her because she supports Trump and believes in following the law. Tgat's whats pathetic. ?‍♀️

Bro bro, it's freaking amazing how Americans look down on others needing help or a lifeline. Our desire to be considered rich or upper class sku our humanity towards others. I want to revisit here 2 years from now plz.

If they dont act to help the children of Palestine I cannot consider them muslims. I also have the lineage of Fatima, and this is what I think

Considering Trump's affinity for Hitler... once he has rounded them up do you really think he's going to stop at deporting them?

Are you sure that the man and his party you voted for consider you a Mexican American when they see you or hear you speak? Or just a Mexican who needs to carry an ID all the time?
