GOOD. Most of us want the borders closed but have had this mass influx forced upon us

Close the border and send the ones right here now back

Stop MUSLIM OCCUPATION of the world!! Close the borders!!!

Has it ever occurred to any of you (criticizing Canada and the US, etc) that half the planet is trying to migrate to these western countries both legally and illegally? Thousands and thousands each month! No surprise that foreigners, and the born and raised, are now having to compete for homes/jobs. Be grateful if a country is trying to help u leave the place (ie India & Africa) that u wish to leave ... instead of complaining about it. Perhaps borders should be closed instead?

I'm Canadian and live very close to the border. Like, really really close, in the rural area. I cross all the time to grab things I can save money on. But I wouldn't live in the US for all the money in the world. People I talk to down there are all crazy.

Living close to the border… we will go down to go shopping or pick up packages. As we approach the US border, I feel an unspoken stress overtake me and when I’m finally back in Canada, there’s a physical/mental relief that is felt. I’ve asked my husband & friends about this and they too feel it.

Well most of us have been to the US or go there frequently, as so many of us live near the border, so we really don’t have those pre conceived ideas like people from other countries might have. However as one who moved to the U.S. for a time as I married an American, the things I didn’t like the most was ignorance of other countries, especially Canada, as we are so close, that the U.S. revolves the world around themselves, and has a superiority complex that being American is being better than any other nationality, I could go on….However I liked the friendliness, warmth, energy, so it wasn’t all negative.

Trump was right we were right look at this!! Close that border now!!! Deport illegals all of them except Israelis

Close the border. Deploy the military to guard border and Build the wall.

Yeah , no doubt our border is closed and secure ?. Right Harris and Myorkis . Top two morons on the Biden cabinet

Just imagine all the foreigners including my family that came here legally and did everything to have the American dream. They paid so much money to become a citizen for people to storm in and get everything for free smh…the US owe every foreign person that spent thousands of dollars to stay legally and entered with a legal visa..smh but the migrants get food stamps, shelter, schools, etc while we have thousands of people homeless or losing their homes..can’t get gov assistance because they work and “Make too much” smh this country is a mess and I see now why Trump wanted borders to be closed

You are seeing this because they are not using Military tactics. Closed Borders by the Military and they would of been shot or shot at.

Close the border

So one day close to the beginning of a new year, a bunch of people strolled over to the Capitol building. They were very surprisingly escorted inside. In fact one was physically escorted by police around the building as he showed patriotic reverence for past leaders and current leaders. It’s interesting because he and others like him were SET UP as domestic terrorists, hunted down, incarcerated, civil rights denied for over a year., YET , somehow these people who are storming our border will be paid, given a phone and shelter, treated like kings!!! They are coming through Panama and getting their funding from the WEF! When we fall, everyone else will, too! Our armies are off somewhere else while our homeland is being overrun purposely by these people. There is a plan!!

Jeezus, these are day workers trying to get to their jobs! Trumpamzee the idiot closed the border to the daily commuters so many absconded because they couldnt be sure of crossing home every night. blame the idiot magas for this

If politicians can’t work together to close the border, arrest criminals, and keep citizens safe. \n\nWhy are we paying taxes?…

Why is the border closed to people ESCAPING COMMUNISM, but OPDN to DRUG CARTELS?!

Yup. Kamala says the borders are closed. We need the military at the border. Its an invasion. Appropriate response is required

CLOSE OUR BORDER

THESE are VENEZUELANS......\nKEEP VOTING BIDEN.... TRUMP WANTED THE BORDERS CLOSED

This Bidens legacy not wanting to close the borders! And then, they gas light. Its your tax payers money too so go dispute this with your Potus!

We need to close the borders and take care of Americans first.

BECAUSE we have OPEN BORDERS. AND BIDEN DID IT. I THINK HE DID IT TO SPIKE TRUMP.. HE IS CAUSING A CATASTROPHE. THE BORDERS NEED TO BE CLOSED .EVEN IF BIDEN DON'T LIKE IT .HE'S NOT LIKE IT GO OVER HIS HEAD . HE'S A TOTAL PIECE OF S*** TO DO THAT ABOUT AMERICANS ?? DIE BECAUSE OF HIM. AND THE SENATE ,AND THE CONGRESS OUGHT TO PUT A LAW IN THAT NO IMMIGRANTS .CAN VOTE THEY HAVE TO BE AMERICANS, CUZ THAT'S WHY HE WANTS THEM IN.

SHUT OFF OUR BORDERS CLOSE AMERICA CLOSE AMERICA THIS IS A INVASION CLOSE THE BORDERS

CLOSE THE BORDER!! Biden allowing all these people in so he can get their vote. He knows he can’t steal the election again this time. Biden is going down. He is a disgrace to this country. And destroying it. Trump 2024. FJB

If Canada is so immigrant friendly, then why did they close up the New York border crossing that was accepting illegal immigrants from the US southern border?

Close the dam border Down

Close the border ! All traffic !

CLOSE THE EFFIN BORDERS UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS COUNTRY AT LEAST SORT OF STABLE...MY GOD!

It is heartbreaking if you consider all the single circumstances. But what you expect would happen if its the otherway around?? You guess they would say come in all of you. No - every country would try to save themselves and close their borders.\nThis problem only can be solved with fair distribution of work and wealth.

And this is the reason why the US I think should close its borders

And this is why Trump wanted to close the border !!! Is not because he was being racist but because he knew bad thing were happening and this will happened. Wake up people !!!

Its an invasion force we the people need to take our country back put up our walls and deal with our own till thats solved close the borders defend them

TLDR : The Problem with Canada’s Economy \n- Most Canadian stayed closed to US border since most of it's industry located near the U.S border \n- Immigration boom , push properties up greatly. Most Canadians cant afford a home. \n- Ease of loans & low interest. Consumer borrow to buy property instead of using it for business \n- Long run no new business > Low job count available > Low Canada GDP \n- Due to Tax structure in Canada, most start up gets acquired by U.S or Foreign countries \n- Better pay in U.S, so by cross border you earn 33% more \n- Low R&R in canada , low capital invested into workers > low value yield per hour for workers \n- Competitiveness Index rank 14 = Low productive compared to smaller countries like Singapore (Rank 3) \n- Rank 11 in talent citizen but too bad most went to U.S instead. Earn 33% more.

Close this borders

We have to close the borders. This has gone on for far too long.

We cant even help out own at the present time n sadly i think borders should be CLOSED ..until America fixes its own issues first?...

I am Democrat but I think it is time to close the border.

Oh, but the border is closed!! I’m surprised CNN could suck it up enough to show this.

So crazy how it was CNN that was alllll for open borders and how “racist” and how big of “bigots” we were for not wanting the borders open. Now look ? they mad. Y’all did this. But everybody was mad at trump when he said close the borders and build the wall , I’m just saying ??‍♀️

My son is in the military deployed to Texas and he says the invaders have no respect for Americans. The open border needs to be closed NOW!!!

Stop it. !!the border is closed!!

Is the solution really that difficult? Close the border except for legal immigrants. Biden’s “solution” is open borders, amnesty, acceleration to citizenship. In other words - perpetual chaos.

Canadian here - I won’t even visit the US, and I live close to the border. So many Americans are frighteningly mentally unstable, carry a gun, and believe in looking out only for themself and don’t care about the well-being of others /society. So, hell no. Not ever.

Canadá will never grow bigger than the USA simply for the reason being that 80% of Canadas land is uninhabitable 90% of the population live close to the USA border

I’m a bit late to this discussion but I agree with the 99.9% of other responses. Although, I have enjoyed trips to beautiful areas of the US, & live close to the border where a day trip was a common occurrence. I now hesitate to even travel there as I do worry about gun violence, racism & honestly cannot understand the cult of followers who would even consider voting for an incompetent, narcissistic criminal to lead their country…. it’s mind blowing! You are desensitized regarding violence/school shootings… choose where you live? What’s the guarantee that this couldn’t happen anywhere in the US, even rural areas? On the topic of living in Canada, it’s beautiful with lots of country to see/enjoy from west coast to the east coast & we have healthcare, a government (although not perfect) elected by & working for the people. I’m proud to be Canadian, wouldn’t move for anything! We’re your neighbour but as it happens sometimes we just can’t believe what’s going on next door.

Biden close the borders. I feel 4 them but we can't b the save all country. we have plenty of Americans who need help

Close the borders! No In no out!! Enough

Close the border

Canada needs to close its borders to refugees and immigrants for 50 years, we are not able to help the unfortunate of the world. Canada Immigration needs to start getting tougher and doing regular sweeps across cities and towns rounding up immigrants for deportation back to their country of origin.
