Romanian here...coming here was the BIGGEST mistake in my life! shitty jobs, long wait if you seek medical assistance, horrible roads, horrible experience overall. I am desperate to get the f!!!k out of here!

Finally. Can't wait to see the action put in place.

I don’t she realizes that anyone who has crossed into the United States without proper documentation permitting residency is barred from applying for US residency for a decade. As an aside, just wait until the Trump tariffs hit her gas tank, her groceries, most appliances and clothing. Then if she were to hire an helping hand, she will find the going rate well above $20 per hour. These rather ignorant People deserve the government they voted for.

As an immigrant who came to US legally, I have issues with Illegal immigrants as I waited 14 years to be with my siblings because I did it the legal way.

Main Insights and Conclusions from the Video\n\nEconomic Challenges and Public Sentiment:\n\nInflation and housing costs have risen sharply, impacting Canadians' quality of life.\nFood bank usage has doubled, and homeownership rates have declined significantly.\nYounger Canadians find homeownership increasingly unattainable, fueling frustration.\nPublic sentiment has turned against immigration for the first time in decades, with over 60% of Canadians believing the country is taking in too many immigrants.\n\nImmigration Policies and Impacts:\n\nCanada experienced record immigration levels in recent years, with 471,000 permanent residents admitted in 2023 and a population growth of 1 million annually due to other immigration streams (e.g., international students and temporary workers).\nImmigration was used as a tool to address labor shortages and generate economic stimulus post-pandemic, but it led to unforeseen consequences like overburdened infrastructure, rising housing costs, and strain on public services.\nConcerns about integration and cultural tensions arose due to the rapid pace and scale of immigration.\n\nEconomic Consequences:\n\nDespite immigration filling labor gaps, Canada’s productivity declined for the third consecutive year, revealing deeper systemic issues like underinvestment in technology, outdated infrastructure, and stagnant wages.\nPublic services, such as healthcare, struggled to meet the increased demand, leading to longer wait times and staff burnout.\n\nImmigration Reforms in 2024\n\nThe federal government introduced significant reforms:\n\nA 20% reduction in permanent resident admissions over three years.\nCaps on temporary foreign workers and international student permits.\nPost-graduate work permit (PGWP) eligibility tied to labor market needs and stricter language requirements.\nWage caps for low-wage temporary foreign workers and adjustments to immigration programs at the provincial level.\nThese measures aim to manage population growth, alleviate pressure on housing and public services, and improve the quality of immigrants to align with labor market needs.\n\nCritiques and Trade-offs:\n\nWhile the reforms may ease strain on infrastructure and align with public sentiment, critics argue they could exacerbate labor shortages in critical sectors like healthcare, construction, and agriculture.\nThe underlying economic issues, such as low productivity, outdated zoning laws, and inadequate infrastructure, remain unaddressed.\nReducing immigration without broader systemic reforms may hinder economic growth in the long term.\n\nSocial Dynamics and Public Trust:\n\nThe reforms are seen as an attempt to rebuild public trust in the government amid declining approval ratings.\nCritics worry these policies are politically motivated rather than aimed at long-term solutions.\nRising public dissatisfaction stems from perceptions of unequal treatment between immigrants and native Canadians, along with growing social tensions.\n\nRecommendations for Future Actions:\n\nExperts suggest combining immigration reforms with investments in infrastructure, technology, and workforce training to tackle deeper systemic challenges.\nEncouraging regional immigration could alleviate urban overcrowding but requires sufficient infrastructure and resources to support newcomers in less-populated areas.\nEnhancing the quality of immigrants through stricter selection criteria and promoting cultural integration can address public concerns while maintaining economic benefits.\n\nFinal Reflections:\n\nOver-reliance on immigration as an economic solution has led to complacency and structural weaknesses.\nWhile immigration is vital for growth, it should be part of a balanced approach that includes investments in innovation and productivity improvements.\nCanada needs to rethink its strategies to remain competitive and sustainable in the long term while addressing public concerns and fostering integration.\nThe video's overarching message highlights the complexities of immigration and economic policy, emphasizing that piecemeal solutions, like reducing immigration, are insufficient without addressing broader systemic issues.

Govt wants more people from developing nations, yet they don't want to build hosing, mass transit or any form of infrastructure, not even a protected bike lane. A couple of weeks ago 3 days before I am due for my first vacation in 8 years, I broke a tooth and tried to see a dentist, no appointments for 4 months. A week later, I am waiting to check into my hotel in Bangkok when I decided to break, and I went to the dentist had some X-rays taken, and 2 teeth pulled out took which less than an hour and cost $104.76. Do you see how the system can fail in many different ways?

The government knew of the loop holes; giving away student visas and temporary workers same status as people who applied and waited for permanent residence status. They even tried to expedite the citizenship as new voters, because they knew that Canada was leaning towards conservatism.

Does she realize they would have to wait 10 years before they can even reapply? They don't just turn around and walk right back in ?‍♂️

I am waiting for provincial nomination. Even though, I still agree with everything that has been sad in this video!

Had the type of immigration was more focused on quality rather than quantity, Canada growth would have been thrilling. but Turdeau the clown has ruined this beautiful country. Can't wait for next year's election to kick the Liberals out of power...

The policy matters less, the ausländeramt matters way more. They are the first contact for immigrants but their inefficiency and unfriendly manner scare many off. I’ve been waiting 2 years just for a PR application, I called, phoned, emailed but no answers at all, now my current visa is expiring and I feel hopeless. The simple “Lebens in Deutschland” test takes more than 8 weeks to evaluate which makes no sense. When I lived in Australia, their immigration office offers more than 20 languages and everything’s online and easy to contact, I got my visa within 48 hours. Germany is too lagging behind, if they don’t upgrade the system and attitude, it doesn’t matter what the policy is.

I would be leaving america as fast as possible think gun violence is bad now wait till trump crashes the dollar an nobody can afford anything

I can't wait for Mexico coming to the BRICS+ ❤

Why not send them back now instead of waiting for December next year

Can’t wait to see Trump put ole Jim in his place again

Waiting for Jim Acosta asking Trump questions at the white house press briefing again. It should be a riot ?

I’m sick and tired of this stupid liberal Democrat.We here in US can’t wait for Trump step in to clean this mess.

illegal alien is illegal alien. \nif they want . to emigrate to the USA. go home and apply at the US embassy in your country. then wait till your number is called.\nthen denounce ALL ties to where you weee born.

Someone should let them know that so called better life is not waiting for them in Canada at least. We have plenty of our own political tensions, we're taxed to death, probably have the worst health care system in the world, extremely high cost of living, everything is expensive, the only jobs available are part time, crappy overpriced food, a housing crisis and brutal winters every single year.. Nothing but pissed off, miserable people here. Many Canadians I know have moved to India and love it. Come if you like but I bet you'll wish you hadn't, especially when Trudeau won't let you go back, not with your money anyway.

They thought Nixon and Regan was bad wait until God shows who is really in Control

She's bitter she waited in line and her family didn't.

Well, of course she is gonna say all that because President Trump hasn't taken office yet. Just wait until the end of January. She'll change her tune real quick. \n\nTRUMP ?? ?

O.K., Señora wait and see (feel it).

We can just start buying appliances and computers from domestic manufacturers. Oh wait, we don't have any left or only a few domestic manufacturers of appliances and computers. Possibly witn advancements in manufacturing with automation/robotics and operational management practices we may get reasonable prices. If not, maintain and repair what you have.

Ms Mexican-American, if your family members are deported because they came into the country illegally they will never be able to apply for citizenship! I think they would not even be able to apply for at least 10 years... Could change you will be dead before they can even start the process that may take an additional 6 years after waiting at least 10 years to apply which totals almost 20 years.

Everyone don’t be surprise on the logic from cartel’s member… when you are hungry for money with no other way, you should rob a bank, when you are thirst for sex and can’t get a gf you should rape someone and break the law, they should not be put to jail and separate with their families because it’s “cruel”, they are “human being” and we should treat them with dignity and respect, I even heard drug dealers saying that it’s not their fault as they didn’t promote drugs, drug addicts willingly buy from them so it’s not their fault, they are entitled ??? there are legal ways to seek asylum’s but ofcourse those whom try to come in legally should be put on waiting list and let “illegal” immigrants to cut their lines

No country wants Indian Scammers. If you love India so much why go live different countries. Stay in India with Modi. \nTrump will Ban H1B , E4, and all Indian in USA waiting on Greencard. No more entry of Indian in USA .

Well, she must be an awful president, that her people cant wait to get away from her.. What a bully she is... Guess what u*ly woman, we are about to tax the f**k out of every piece of everything that comes across our border. Mexican Americans AGREE... \nReply

If Trump’s a fighter, he’s just telegraphed all of his punches. ?\nGiven China, Mexico & Canada enough warning for them to collaborate against America. \nWell done, MAGA morons.\nTrump has to wait until January 20th.\nXi, Sheinbaum & Trudeau, meanwhile, can ready their attack today. ?????????

Why did they (allies) wait until after election to voice the truth about the tariff BS! Maybe just maybe some uneducated voters would have caught wind of the problem on main-flushable-media! Too little too late! We all suffer as a result of the inability to do the research!

Trump promised to even end the war in 24 hours. I cant wait for him to break that promise lol

Say good bye to cheap cars. If you think cars were expensive after Covid wait till trump starts his plan. And you can say well, Americans will start buying American made cars, but since American made cars will go up in demand so will the price and no one b it the elites will win. Prepare to be more poor than before

Can’t wait to vote for Pierre polievre. Your not getting a cheque. Most black people in Canada are recent migrants from the Caribbean and Africa with a small minority descended from runaway American slaves. Stop embarrassing yourself.

If they don’t take care of the cartel, their drugs goes to show you they’re sold out to the cartels and they say it’s Trump‘s problem and send the US military thank you forces to take out every cartel in Mexico New Mexico favor we got over 300,000 missing children from our southern border The cartels dropped them off at our border. Some of them went into sex trafficking. Someone went into slavery I don’t wanna talk about what happens to the others just children a lot of them where Guatemalan after Kamala Harris with Guatemala Guatemala radio was telling kids how to get to America I wish people would study into what exactly going on in our country instead of leaving the propaganda resent our kids off to college to be a doctorate by college professors to believe is the right way to go things are gonna change and change your abruptly. We’re going back to the constitutional Republic, the deep state, a.k.a. the corporation one world order is getting out of Dodge. I just hope they leave quietly and there’s no lost life by pushing Putin into doing something stupid and vaporizing, cities and country folks dying of slow death of radiation for evening Joe Biden said he would do everything in his power to keep Trump out of the lighthouse Jamie Raskin wanted to talk democrat said he would rather create a civil war to keep Donald Trump out of life. The red and Chuck Schumer has almost cost us the life of the Supreme Court, Justice woke his no more and I can’t wait for the new beginning to start.

Wait until Americans get Trumps grocery bills ?

And not all are from Mexico. Tit for tat. Wait till they Stop sending America ANY imports ? Guess

Wait…Mexico has done a LOT to help the Biden admin with the border crisis. Did you honestly just say that???? More brainwashed journalists.

Wait so our greatest allies for decades are going to be getting put on for tarrif increases ? Canada and Mexico? God Putin is so pleased with what he’s done. \n\nIf there’s any other proof that this man is going to single handedly create logistic issues, trade wars,while our allies are going to look elsewhere while we’re figuring our sh*t out.\n\nMexico and Canada will do their stuff. The us will be isolated.\n\n\nThis is…. Insane.

Mexico is our friend. Trump is a fool. And so are the people who voted for him, soon judgment day will come, and I will be there, not a handful of police officers this time. Can’t wait

Let's wait

The rest of the world is about to see the U.S. as an unstable government and we’re going to loose the USD as the reserve trade status. Just wait and see what that does for our economy.

AMERICANS ... WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR ? WHY THEY DON'T MESS WITH RUSSIA ? WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR THAT, TO PROVOKE RUSSIA. ?? U.S.A ALWAYS MESS WITH SMALL COUNTRIES.... DO IT WITH RUSSIA ??

Here we go again! They are giving him credence. They are legitimizing him again. Trump is a buffoon and they could not wait to get him back in the WH again. I HATE CNN!

Why is Trump insisting on doing something that is so obviously stupid? Oh wait, I just read what I wrote and remembered who we are dealing with and then I answered my own question.

Wait, we're shocked Trump won't be able to do what he said.... Yawn

I HOPE HE PUTS TARIFFS ON MEXICO.... HES ABOUT TO LEARN HOW MEXICO NOT GOING TO GIVE AN F ABOUT MIGRANTS AND DRUGS ,,YOU THINK IS BAD NOW ... WAIT UNTIL THEY REALLY STOP GIVING A SH....

Don’t forget, this lady is Jewish and knows a thing or two about economy. Trump can’t push her around like he has done with others, also, he does not understand that the majority of Mexicans back her up and are willing to make sacrifices to not let the USA push Mexico around. These trumps threats could backfire really bad and we will pay for it for sure, just wait, if inflation is bad and you have to pay 40k-50k for a base model car with these tariffs the middle class won’t be able to afford a 100k car anymore and we all will have to rent cars now. And forget about having savings and been able to own a home. This will mark the end of this country…mark my words.
