Wasn’t the border safe of immigrants and the count was half? I know CNN didn’t lie about that

Can't say I'm shocked, I've been all over the world and I haven't been any where yet where there wasn't some ignorant local who had a chip on their shoulder against black people, and this includes non white countries.

This is really sad... But you know what? The universal laws of reaping and sowing don't discriminate. These lands were invaded and snatched away from the Natives and it wasn't nice and peaceful for them. Their culture was extremely devastated and they were uprooted. Suffering still to this day.

Wasn’t this years ago though?

I wasn't looking at ever going there, I don't like it being here in America, but I don't have a choice or option at this present time

I thought this wasn't a problem?

It wasn't that way years ago, and despite the damage that colonizers did, was terrible!\n ...Then the WS came.?

Damn! Canada that’s crazy. U would’ve thought living up there it’d be better for Black people seeing that most Blacks escaped slavery and migrated there during Jim Crow to live up there because the racism there wasn’t harsh like it is here in the US. But guess it’s not. Guess Canada’s racism is just as worst as America

I know I wasn’t the only one to see Denis Rodman in the beginning

the military down there treated like an invasion into the country and let the River Run Red they'll get the message nothing says you're not welcome here like hot lead going down rain that's how you fix that problem after that or build a dam Canal from California to Texas Gulf of Mexico 40 Mi deep 20 mi wide with one Bridge a drawbridge that goes up we can build new shipping ports brand new refinery have a coast guard and the Navy base along with the Border Patrol and their and the u.s. cargo ships don't have to go all way down to South America between saltwater crocodiles in the lemon shark that'll take care of the whole thing watching for us and the water going down to Mexico from the US can stay in the US build a new power down interrogate the Southwest and that'll take care of the water problem so how about that that fix the whole damn situation and then you can start by getting that dumbass out of the White House I see that wasn't really all that hard then second quit giving foreign aid to countries that hate us build America by America and start making America first start with families coming back together and then from there make the community and the communities make the country man united like we did back in the days of WWII because that's what it's going to take dust off the the Bible and get back to work

This wasn’t recent lol.

remember when you guys said this was not going to happen and then you said it wasn't happening?

That wasn't the border. It was a Selena concert

I knew Mexico wasn’t really that good, but damn.

If only kennedy wasn’t assasinated I think his Alliance of Progress program would have changed the world and Latin America would be one of the most prosperous places today

Lol good job to Biden. At least with trump this shit wasn’t happening. Idc about trump but at least he locked it down.

What do y'all mean WHY are we seeing this ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️ It is due to YOUR PRESIDENT having no fucking back bone & just letting ANYONE and EVERYONE come across the border. I have a valid reason for being pissed off. I was raped at 11 years old by a 21 year old ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT from El Salvador. Know what happened to him NOT A DAMN THING!!!!! Know what happened to me? Well he gave me PID that I didn't know I had & it made it impossible for me to get pregnant the natural way & I lost 3 babies because of it before my OB did minor surgery & then I am still in therapy for it. I have PTSD & social anxiety disorder, OCD, It also made me WAY to overprotective of my daughter to the point she wasn't even allowed to stay the night with friends they had to come here to stay instead. I am not in any way saying that ALL immigrants are bad people but in my opinion it is a 50-50 chance. ?‍♀️???

It may have been a wonderful presentation of Canadian provinces if it wasn't ruined by such a hysterical shooting wordy cascade!

Nishant. I am so sorry I have to ping u here as I don’t know any other means and not sure if my emails are reaching you. I had a 1-0-1 session with you yesterday but due to some medical emergency I couldn’t attend the session and wasn’t able to inform as well. Please consider my request of the reschedule just this one time. Please.

Wasn't expecting this vid to be so left leaning

Now you see WHY President Trump wanted to continue the WALL ... ? IT WASN'T for LOOKS!! It would be nice that people can LIVE anywhere but if WE would RESPECT each other & WORK and NOT TAKE THINGS for FREE!! People are breaking into homes instead of working ... FREE is CHEAPER so SAD ... SOME people just want to better their lives!!! And to see parents have their children with them ? ... People wouldn't leave their country if their President loved/cared for their people MAKE YOUR COUNTRY GREAT ... ?

But Jim Acosta said this wasn't happening

If this video wasn't about Canada you could very well believe that this video was about Australia. We are pretty much the same. There are too many selfish idiots in this country who want to get rich quick through property investing. As a result of this everyone is mortgaged up to their eyeballs in debt. People think that owning investment properties means you're some sort of god. If we didn't have any resources our entire economy would be focussed on building homes. The thing is, the houses that builders build in this country are terrible. They don't insulate well, the materials used are crap, the workmanship is poor. People on average now take out mortgages 6-7x their income. To keep property booming we open the floodgates for immigrants. The societal landscape of our country is changing for the worse. Looking around Melbourne and Sydney, most people are either Chinese or Indian now. These people run away from their countries (which they think are crap compared to the West) and then they buy houses here resulting in people born in Australia losing out.\n\nThe entire thing is a god damn ponzi scheme.

In 2009 I questioned if I could ever own a home but I was still working hard at my career and had some hope if I met the right women to marry. Then along came Justin Trudeau. Within 2 years of his goverment that dream faded fast. Everything I saved and my individual salary still wasn't enough. Property taxes and carbon taxes make it absolutely impossible here in southern Ontario even far a small home not without trying. I always get out bid on the 316 homes I tried to purchase. I can't pay 30%-70% above market value on a single income. Turning in my pensions isn't even an option. I'm not gambling away my retirement with current crrupt Liberal goverment that continues to raise taxes. To give some an idea just how single parents are crushed on taxes. I pay 53% of my income on taxes and get almost nothing back when filing my taxes cause I work hard and excel in my career. I get punished for being a hard work and risking my life to do so. Living in Canada has gotten gradually worse and worse the last 8 years. The socialist way of life isn't good. Now the writing is on the wall that it's becoming a communist country. I'm now searching for employment opportunities south of the border to give my child the best chance to making her dreams a reality. Canada isn't giving me any other options. If everything works out in the US I will surrender my Canadian citizenship at the earliest availability. It breaks my heart but I just can't allow them to enslave me and my child as she becomes an adult. Slavery is the only way I can describe the last 8 years. Also to top it all off 6 if the last 8 year's basic goverment services have been extremely unstable making doing business with Canada very frustrating. Getting a passport during this time has been delay after delay. Finding a family doctor that is stable almost impossible. \n\nCanada's economy status looks good from a far but its really far from good. Our goverment is literally paying 10s of billions in tax dollars to draw auto makers here and to even keep them here. Just further proof the economic future is very unstable. Probably even more so then the housing market. \n\nOur PM isn't even hiding his goverments level of corruption anymore. He actually brags about it at home and on the world stage. \n\n\nI worry about my future more then planing for it. Hopelessness has definitely set in. Now I'm in damage control by no fault of my own to make sure no possible debt are passed on to my daughter in the next 25 years when I'm gone. Even that is looking to be unachievable in my particular situation. It's my worst nightmare to leave my kid with any owing debts.

The dollar is shit and it's annoying.. Especially to send money back home to D.R. .one American dollar is 54 pesos...1 canadian is 39 atm..its trash man. If it wasn't for my son and wife.. Id be making my plans to move to Jersey or naples. .uhg

Trudeau is the cause of the downfall of Canada, We could easily been a economic super power if it wasn't for government regression on all our economical drivers. Under Harper we were doing 10x better then now.

Funny if there wasn't a wall and nobody bothered to enter. Stick a barrier in the way so that there's an incentive to break through it

And they took care of it and it wasn't an issue the rest of the country needed to know about...

I get where you're coming from, no one is more patriotic than myself but bro this is the land of hope. My grandfather who raised me is an immigrant who left a life of no hope and growth to come here. He was deported 12 times but each time fought to come back. Now he is a father of 4 grandfather of 7 American citizens. He is the pride of our family for how much of an outstanding person he is. But all this would not have come to fruition if it wasn't for the opportunities that this country provided. I understand our country is struggling but it's not struggling to a point where we have to turn our backs on these people and pretend like we can't help them when help isn't even what they want. They just want somewhere safe to raise their children.

I want to now go to Venezuela to see what is going on because people look terrified, and if it wasn’t for language barriers, we would be able to talk to them clearly and find out what’s going on with them look at their behavior ?no one willingly leaves their home and I feel that someone knows what’s happening there

I’m happy I watched this because I have been wondering about this depression wave that is in this country if I was the only one feeling it. All these points are valid. Don’t get me wrong canada is a beautiful place and give you access to learning and living with many different cultures which one of the things I love. But all these points these ladies stated just prove that I wasn’t just overthinking. Sometimes this place feels like an open prison tbh, specially Quebec which is the highest taxed province. It’s literally a life of work, pay your bills, feed yourself and work again. 2weeks vacation in a year of work, with 8 off days a month, isn’t enough for the brain and well being of someone. One find themselves doing everything under pressure because of the trauma that many jobs have created. People will walk under a storm, rain, thunder, you name it! just so they can earn that 130 a day.(using the minimum wage,). The gouvernement does it best to put all these programs in place, but no one want to always feel like your life is being controlled because you need a 1000$ check every month. People get tired of this dependency as well. The whole is thing is just depressing ?

Gotta love it ? this what you all wanted wasn’t it?

It never used to be as long as this in the UK, it is because it is congested now, when I came the UK, I came as a student and getting a permanent stay wasn’t as tough as now. You just come without obtaining visa as a visitor. Canada will become like the UK after sometime, for now they want it to be like the UK in terms of being a multicultural and multinational community. As for Scotland they are trying to encourage people to come and settle there.

I feel bad for the Latino officer telling other Latinos no. I wish life wasn’t so difficult.

Insurrection??? Why wasn’t Kamela down on the border instead of serving word salad in Tennessee??

When TRUMP was in office he was saying that WE NEEDED TO STOP TAKING PEOPLE IN, AND STOP HIRING PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A GREEN CARD, BECAUSE WHEN THEY COME THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS GET ON WELFARE AND HOUSING, THEN ON SOCIAL SECURITY, BUT PEOPLE WASN'T LISTENING. NOW LOOK. TRUMP WAS FINING COUNTRY THAT SEND UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE HERE AND FINING COMPANIES FOR HIRING THEM. TRUMP MADE A LOT OF SENSE BEHIND THE SCENES.

I thought it wasn't an invasion

As an immigrant from Europe who came to the US legally, I'm very appalled that people have such low moral values that even when they're told no, they still come here illegally. I moved here because I like traveling, I come from a former communist country. However my country wasn't always safe, we had to fight for decades to make it safe. None of these immigrants care enough about their countires to make it safe for future generations, instead they leave. Remember, you're not an asylum seeker. An asylum seeker goes to the nearest country that's safer, the US and Canada are usually not that close.

If canada wasn't so damn cold most immigrants would go there instead of the US. But most would rather face racism , persecution, and attacks rather than cold ?

Haitians been invading our country by force as well recently. Along with their thousands of children smh. Absolute madness. The Wall being built wasn't a bad idea. It needs to be multiple walls at our borders. insane!

It was ok when Europeans invaded the Natives though wasn't it. We call it, swings and roundabouts in the UK

Why can they not stay in their own country? Why do they want to go to America? Because the people of America developed their land. They want to go live there because the table is already set for them. They can just sit down and eat and enjoy and break down afterwards. Because it wasn't their generations blood sweat and tears that build it. Why can they not build their own country up?

But I thought CNN was saying this wasn't happening at all. What happened to no boarder crisis?

If humanity wasn't so stupid as a whole, this wouldn't even need to be a problem.

Bet you wish Trump wasn't sabotaged now

Thought there wasn’t a problem at the border according to the dems everything is hunky dory ????‍♀️?

We’re supposed to believe there wasn’t a single safe city anywhere between America and Venezuela that they could’ve stayed in?

That wasn't a failire

They don't even have enough police to stop a crowd like that, they need huge military weapons at these borderline because if that Bob wire wasn't there them police wouldn't be able to control that crowd, a crowd like that you are force to use massive force on that crowd let them know we are not playing with you filthy clowns
