They should try to live in El Salvador. Heard it’s really safe out there now ?‍♂️

hello mamu gee. Hope you are doing well. As a kid dhuwaan was my most fav drama, other than ainak wala jinn. I liked you alot. i wept alot when you were shooted by the terrorists from inside the room. After some weeks when i saw that you were not killed it was like one of the most happy moments for me. it was because i used to call you mamu. I user to tell my friends that you were my mamu. i grew up, got busy in life, watched no dramas. After 15 or 20 years i heard about your story. i was shocked to hear about the tragedy you faced in pak. My sadness faded away when i knew that you have moved out of pak as our country is a wild barren land. Pay my salam to whole of your family please. i will be asking about your wellness now onward. Be blessed.

Aren’t we fortunate in the US to have **none** of these problems!\n\nWe have no homeless here!\n\nTake a look at SF, LA (where all “solutions” are rooted in Bolshevism; “Hi, we’re from the government and will be taking over half of your front yard for homeless yurts (Ok, tents)--true story. Take a gander at any large, medium, and even a few small cities.\n\nHave you ever heard of Detroit (once proud home of my beloved Motown music), Baltimore (complete devastation), or Chicago (my home town—don’t make me cry)?\n\nThe entire homeless situation started when mental hospitals were snake pits and certain factions demanded that people be released.\n\nSure, it sounds humanitarian but they didn't bother to consider what would happen to mentally ill patients suddenly left to their own devices on the streets.\n\nThe do gooders actually were foolish enough to believe that the seriously ill patients (schizophrenic, bipolar, borderline, and plenty of others) would take their meds on their own. It doesn't work that way for patients who are not in contact with reality.\n\nNow we add extreme drugs (crack, meth, heroine, ketamine, whatever they hand out at parties, etc) and severe cases of PTSD/PTSS. It's obscene that we have veterans on the streets.\n\nHeath care--?. Pre Obamacare it wasn’t terrible but medicine had become a CYA project. We are so litigious (side eye to John Edwards ) that doctors practice defensive medicine and carry high limit malpractice insurance (guess who pays for that?). Every decision is driven by avoiding lawsuits, not proper patient care.\n\nPost Obamacare, US health care is an unmitigated disaster at every level. We’re short on doctors, too. Many quit and students are losing interest—medicine won’t pay enough anymore to justify $500K in loans.\n\nWe could repeal every bit of Obamacare tomorrow and still not be able to fix it. The leviathan grew tentacles that released toxins into every nook and cranny of the system. Now that they have buried themselves in critical layers, it would be impossible to yank them out.\n\nI have a good PCP who is booked 6-8 weeks out. Specialists? Hah. GI, neuro, and derm? Four to six month wait post referral.\n\nI never thought I would say such a thing but I would probably swap the Serial Sexual Predator occupying the WH for your Little Lord Fauntleroy.\n\nCan Canada compete with us in corruption? Government employees seriously tried to topple a sitting president and not only were there no consequences, they were able to retire on fat pensions that we citizens work hard to provide for them.\n\nOur government is run entirely by K Street lobbyists; our “representatives” don’t even draft legislation, that’s done for them by K ST.\n\nHow about crime? Do we even need to talk about it?\n\nHousing crisis? Prices were already too high when the regime (predictably) created runaway inflation and we saw the end of affordable interest rates. Even 0.25% increase will knock out many buyers; they won’t be able to qualify.\n\nWe are seeing huge jumps; young people have resigned themselves to never being homeowners.\n\nRacism? Again, look to the US. It’s nothing even close to what the make believe media caterwauls about. If white supremacists are behind every tree, where is the evidence? Surely, in 2023 has caught a cell phone video, right? Where are the videos? Show me the proof. There is plenty of footage of BLM destroying property and injuring, even murdering innocents. If we gripe about this behavior, we are raaayyyycccciiiiissssts.\n\nNo rational adult would claim that the US is not a violent country and becoming more so. Nor can we claim to have eliminated racism. That takes time; it cannot be done by force.\n\nOur economy went from smokin hot to dumpster fire in a short span of time. Pre election, head hunters were shaking the trees to find job candidates.\n\nOur unemployment is up as are our taxes with the stomping out of the tax cuts. \n\nDespite the endless sloganeering about how the Trump tax cuts only benefited “rich” people, it’s quite the opposite.\n\nHigh earners lost their pet deductions and lower income taxpayers were quite pleasantly surprised when they did their returns. The cuts were targeted to preserve wealth for the middle and lower classes.\n\nI could go on for another 100 pages but you get the idea and I get crabby writing for free.\n\nI will leave you with the caution that it’s best if you doubt and question any data and any stats coming from our government. Those are seldom legit. If the data comes from a study, always look to see who paid for it. And how large the sample size was; how were the participants selected? We are all on our own when it comes to ferreting out info.\n\nOh Canada!\n\nYou’re welcome.

Stable govt, least corrupt....I really laughed when I heard that. And regarding CA not doing as well as the US- unfair comparison ImO.

?????these refugees have heard that life is easier for LGBT people so theu are saying they are LGBT. Who wouldn't?

You're right however,this is why at least I'll deal with the party that I'll have a fairly good time with...sure both are b.s But when I invest in something I make Damm sure some of my concerns are address or heard...I know I'm not getting that from the republican party..and you bro......I haven't heard you come up with something slick.....you have a platform......tell me something I don't know.....

I heard about almost free immigration specially some provinces offer that is it right ?\nIn Pakistan I have done masters In teaching education

I'm glad I never heard those words in person I just pray I can control myself

Are you saying racism against blacks is worse in Canada than in the US?\nWhat I heard is that it is worse in the U.S.

This is the biggest load of crap I ever heard I live in Edmonton as well I am a nurse and I also have two half black children who both identify as black my daughter is 18 yrs old and has never once in her life received any kind of racism as well I have never received any racism having them. I truly believe it’s her attitude that’s the problem here. When there is issues between people it takes both parties to fix the issue and screaming racism does not fix anything it’s an excuse for behaviour stopping any conflict resolution. Also you can’t scream racism every time someone tells you something that you don’t like and I can tell you I’ve had a few people do that because I was blunt with them and as I told them if I don’t like you it’s not because I have an issue with black people it’s because they are just shitty people and I treat people exactly how they treat me and if they real nasty I kill them with kindness?

Ever heard of a country call Jamaica ??? Its 99 percent black, they have one of the highest homicide rates in the ENTIRE WORLD. Go try living their amongst the locals and come back and tell us the outcome. Thats why I never complain about white people or their racism, I learn to deal with it and move on

I had always heard and thought that canada was diverse and more inclusive than the US and other places. It's sad that anytime we think about doing anything outside of our community we have to consider how being black will affect our experience.

And all this time, I've heard that Canada was the place to go to! Well, can forget about that then.

Hmmm…and i heard Canadians are nice!

I'm trying to get out, and they're trying to get in. They haven't heard the truth about America yet.

They need to protest like this in their own country to be heard

Maybe it's cause she went to a province that was more insular and homogeneous. I heard in Quebec mostly they can be that way . I imagine living in Canada would be similar to the Pacific Northwest states . I have some friends who are Hoosiers (rednecks) from up north . It's a mindset thing I think , yeah there's folks who don't like you no matter where you go, it doesn't matter it's about you .

I love the vlogs in Canada but please don't shift to canada, i've been watching you since atleast 5 years and when I heard that you came to Pakistan and met fans at random places, wherever I went, I just searched for you k kahin to milun pr abhi tk nhi mili, if you stay in Pakistan then there's a lil chance of me meeting you ???

With Trump all we heard of WAS the border on the tv. Democrats want to take down the US so they can be the masters and we the slaves.

I grew up in Calgary, two hours south. I've dealt with it on many levels, sometimes blatantly obvious, most times a series of micro aggressions that make you want to explode and destroy everything when it happens. As much pain it's caused over decades it's made me stronger as well as smarter. I will also say this and I can stress this enough, because of the demographics most of my friends are white and THEY HAVE MY BACK. in almost every aspect life will throw at me, they're ride or die people, I can say this with the utmost confidence The difference for me between Canada and the states is I'm not fighting alone if and when a situation comes up, there's people I can call if needed. Canada has it's issues no question and I could easily go ballistic when it happens to me or anyone I know, but we're not as bad as the states. I believe you can be heard.

Sorry but Bashing My Country is not an acceptable view after 4 generations I have seen and heard Enough of this garbage if you don't like it here you are more than welcome to Leave!!!

'Why are we seeing this' bc some dumbass is giving immigrants God know how much money from taxpayers pockets. I heard New York city was even kick veterans out of hotels to give it to immigrants. So for that #FJB. Not just that but they're getting free phones when I don't have phone service. So #FJB

Set up the Machine guns fire fire Fire!! Like back in ww1 when they started running towards them ? population control. Plus have y’all heard a illegal killed 2 girls with a basketball bat and a machete 12 and 8 years old. I wouldn’t care one bit to kill 20 million people to stop that from happening to our Community of blacks whites and hispanics Asians etc Americans first everyone last.

Why can't we send them to China heard they got ghost cities

Well i give it a very little bit til our streets are all homeless , im on disability and been supposed to be on housing 1st priority, the HUD site lies for human trafficking victims, and disabled getting any kind of housing immidiately i waited finally 18 yrs to be put on the active status of section 8, i heard that they all are getting 2k a month, which this isnt their fault , but Americans on disability dont see that amount they claim ya can , ya maybe at 70

At this point we just need to send troops to Mexico to eradicate these gangs. Thats why all these people are leaving honestly. Yall ever heard interviews of them and why theyre leaving? Alot of them are leaving because theyvhave death threat's from gangs. Id probably be doing the same shit if i was in their shoes but we already have so many homeless people here and we're in shambles ourselves. I dont understand why they just dont make a massive community for people like this or the homeless. Make it like that one city in America. I forget what its called. Its in California but there's basically no laws and you can do whatever. We took the land from Mexico so why not atleast give SOME back to people in need? Im not saying make it free. But im not saying make everyone's lives harder either. Theres definitely something the govt can do they just DONT want to

this is what happens when the elected officials use their hearts instead of their brain when following laws, i remember a good republican candidate years who who explained his plans to stop this overnight. Too bad the candidates who can chant USA the loudest are the ones who get heard

I wonder how many of these women and children actually go missing never to be seen or heard from the Demoncrats in charge of this insanity are having satanic rituals underground with these poor women and children like never before nobody has a clue why they are allowing this to happen these people are easy pickings for them devil's.

They're going to NYC. They heard Mayor Eric Adams is offering 5 star hotels, and free food.

We see this yet there are protests in France I bet none of you have heard of

I heard recently a lot of immigrants come to Canada for the citizenship and healthcare . They go back to their countries to make money and not paying tax. \nThis is not fair for the Canadians who live here and pay tax. The government needs to stop this action

I heard someone say good carpet boom booms would stop that quick. or so I heard.

God’s love is Not lawless and l heard some migrants in YouTube speak mandarin said they come USA because USA very easy make money, many of them are not persecuted or poor, but USA government gives them all needs as poor people. Democrats are evil and corrupt open borders like this, government should send them all back,do not take one of them then they will not come anymore.

Have they not heard of tear gas, this is an invasion

Just heard a lady said “when you were in Venezuela?!” Did USA citizens come into Venezuela in the same way ?? Or were they welcomed with open hands?? What is the issue with them?

Heard sanctuary cities are happy to have them. Send them to NYC and LA. ?

I wonder if they ever heard of passports

I came to the states when I was little unfortunately I had to start working I was 15 I worked in a restaurant so i could support my sick mother in my country then I learned English and moved into a different job I never had the opportunity to go to the school since Noone would supported me !! I fall in love with some US girls we have 2 kids she worked sometimes I never pushed her to do so ! I tried to fix papers but the lawyers took my money and never did nothing about it ! I got into a traffic incident I got a ticked and fine once I payed off I get caught and sent back to a place I should call home !! I don't know nobody here don't know the place anymore !! dangerous people crazy !! my kids abandoned in the states now probably their mother asking for help to the government? who knows the last thing I heard is she was selling what it used to be our properties! I don't have contact with my kids anymore ! is horrible then we have this people just going there and getting asylum??? not fare!

When they heard that America is a free country, they all took that literally.

Have y’all ever heard of flamethrowers?

Blah blah blah blah , that’s all I heard when she was talking

I thought I heard that the crossings were down? No?? Didn't think so.

The lies that are being told to these people to make them put themselves at risk to come here is disgusting. Do you all honestly think the U.S. can handle this influx? Many, many of these people have no home to go to, no money, no assets, no idea where they are going. The democrats are using them as pawns in their political agendas. They throw them a couple of bones to make them decide to make the trip and then don't give a crap about them after. And to take the money that us Americans work hard for and pay for this is despicable. We paid 40k in taxes and special programs last year and we don't get a single word in as to where it gets spent. Our social security will be eaten up by the time we are old enough to collect it and we will probably never use disability due to a moral standard. I'd much rather keep all of our $ and then give it to whom I feel deserves it. Many of these people are not bad people, but they will use our handouts and most will not try or have the ability to get off of them. This administration is the most inhumane, America hating administration I have ever witnessed or heard of here in the U.S.

Heard Biden & Co. Have posted flyers and banners in other countries to come and get everything Free. These are the DEMOCRAT voters. They will be taking the jobs of thousands of poor Americans.

Welcome to America . Oh, and I heard infiltration is the best offensive when it comes to war.

I've heard this about Canada. Their racism is under cover. It's funny I've traveled to over 26 different countries around the word a few multiple times even Mexico but, I have never had the desire to travel to Canada. Canada TO ME just doesn't seem too inviting, maybe that's why idk.

I heard it was gang violence ??? that's making them run out of the mexico border, it must be real dangerous to live there

I’ve seen African countries, they aren’t exactly vacation destinations. And plus I’ve heard black Africans don’t like black Americans. Why don’t you move to an African country of America is so bad for you to live in?

I find all this very hard to believe. She might be the most uneducated human I've ever heard speak. She can barely get a thought out without losing track of what she was saying, or staying on topic. Love to see the paperwork on where (she claims)her family member won a lawsuit on discrimination. Tiktok is a fucking cesspool of this trash, it seems; and stop thinking the whole world is against you because your narrow views, or you're bent out of shape about something. STOP ACTING LIKE A VICTUM AND GROW UP.

I always heard that about Canada. It’s very sneaky racism.
