If a country opens its borders to Palestinian refugees, they facilitate Israel’s objective of flattering Gaza and ethically cleansing the land to allow for further expansion and illegal settlement. Israel want to get rid of Palestine and all its people, chasing them out and killing those who are too slow. By standing their ground, the Arab world are forcing the west to see what they have supported and see what Israel are doing and encouraging them to change and to act and to stop the genocide. But it is also at the expense of tens of thousands of lives and an entire nations facilities. The Arab world are letting the bodies pile high until the west can't look away any more. I understand both sides of this and dislike both options, letting Palestinians die, and letting Israel take Gaza by accepting refugees. I can't say I support Saudi Arabias actions, but I also would feel the same if they opened their doors to refugees. Neither one are the right solution, and only we westerners can make this stop. And believe me, I am trying to do my part. I have signed. I have shared. I have donated. I have protested. And I will continue to do so until there is a free Palestine

Venezuela doesn't border Mexico they traveled several countries to get there.

shut it down. im all for deployment of whatever resources necessary to secure the border, no more illegal entry no more entry and waiting asylum bullshit. why don't they fix their own countries that they come from. does the right way and a wrong way this is the wrong way.

The WORST is that once they cross the border, they're send INSIDE the states INSTEAD of sending them BACK to their country?

The leaders of this country need to\nBe jail , if this is what happening to your border

To the guy that said if they all band together to storm a border why don’t the band together to fix their own country, I’d say same reason we don’t band together to fix our country.

Be living in Toronto for over 20 years. I feel it is getting worse every year.\nCanada is well known for high salary, good benifit and health card. That attracts immigrants from all over the world especially third world countries. \nBut the living cost is insane compare to early 2000s. If government can't handle the housing problem, they should not open border for more immigrants. More ppl squeezed in a city will get rental higher and higher. If you don't have a good job with decent pay, what gonna happen? Homeless or crime rate increase.....\n\nThe government officials are so dumb no matter which party, they are selfish and stupid, they dont give a f about true tax payers and hard working ppl.

Anyone who crosses the border illegally for any amount of time be it five minutes or 5 years , it’s a life time ban from ever entering this country again . They have to pass a law like this and have include the ones already here , if you get caught you are deported and never allowed to enter the country legally again period never again. I would have the president give a speech encouraging all illegal immigrates that from this moment until 30 days from now you will have to go back to your home country, if you can’t afford it we will put you on a flight to the airport of our choice in your homeland.So for the next 30 days you will not be stopped or detained if you are leaving the country but anyone who’s still here after that deadline and caught there’s no immigration court with free lawyers you are gone with a life time ban . If you want to come legally than all the regular procedures are still in place . First find a sponsor, than get a visa so you can go to the immigration office and get a background check , if you don’t qualify than too bad it’s not our fault you don’t meet our requirements to be eligible to become a U.S. citizen. If you pass the background check and can prove you can support yourself and have a place to live then you get a green card and you get in line while you are in this country and wait your turn to become a U.S. citizen .

No but the innocent woman and children were running to borders to flee the war, can't they help temporarily? Many countries around the world has taken in refugees when in dire situation. Are you saying that these countries should not have taken any refugees? \nCome on, Saudis are scared of them because:\nThey were accepted by Jordan, where they tried to assassinate the King and take over the country, teamed up with Syria and triggered a full-scale war.\n\nIn Egypt, they fomented terror attacks. Egypt classifies Hamas as a terror group and closed the border long ago. Their defences against Gazan incursion look like the Berlin wall.\nWhat the Arab world should do is work with the Palestinian people and not Hamas.

Rising cost of living is a trend especially when inflation is high in North America, the government should be more proactive in increasing the housing supply and creating affordable housing. Canada immigration system is skill based but the country also needs blue collar workers to fill jobs needed in the economy. I read too many articles where doctors work in factories there. The last is job growth, the government needs to invest in infrastructure and create environment for business to come to the country. Yes, US has the same problems but the salaries are higher south of the border. The average Facebook employee receives 800K compensation yearly.

No Arab Sunni country wants them because they will bring Hamas (supported by Shia Iran) with them. This is what happened in the Sinai and why Egypt has its border crossing firmly closed to refugees.

American needs help for the people here close the borders asap this country is going down fast

Almost all pf these problems have happened so drastically because we basically opened the borders bringing 300k people to 1.2M per year into the country. Now there is no room, hence rent, hence crime, hence no jobs.

ASSALAAM ALAIKUM WA REHMATULLAH WA BARAKATUHU my dear brother and sister\nSUBHAN ALLAH I highly appreciate you both. I think what you have decided is good enough, but keep your Canadian citizenship. being a Muslim country Malaysia is one of the best, Malaysian peaple are friendly, education ok, they do speak English, Malaysian Muslims follow QUR'AN AL KAREEM and Authentic HADEETH al NABAVI ASHSHAREEF only, no sects etc. Tropical lovely Climate temperatures remain same round the year max 32°C min 22°C 12 hrs day n nite lush green tropical fruits. rain with thunder almost daily or twice a week. Lot of Chinese and Indian origin and some Pakistanis. No racism, no hate, many tourists from all over, plenty of halal food restaurants. for business I recommend Restaurant/fast food average middle class.\n2nd option is Turkey ?? beautiful Muslim country friendly nation also with business opportunities, mix culture of Muslims/ Non-Muslims but surrounded with volatile borders, lot of tourism. \nAvoid Gulf States because of the present situation. Above all take ALLAH SUBHANA WA T'ALA'S advice by *Istikhara* (supplication for moving to the country you think best)\nMay ALLAH AZZAWAJAL help you both and your chikdren for the best of here and hereafter with khair baraka aafia salama and Rehmats AAMEEN YA RABBIL AALAMEEN

Why is our country not telling the people openly that Mexico and their southern neighbors have declared war on the US?\nWe Vote.\nDEMOCRATS FOR BORDER CONTROL

It's crazy that they're mad at the us for not whating to let people into such a great country. It's not a safe haven. And tbh I do what I'd do but them coming over here when there's literally a border stopping them is enough that you should figure something else out because this isn't how you do it.

If they put as much effort as they do to cross are border they could easily fix their country

This country cannot control it's own borders. What the hell has happened

We need to fire all border patrol for failing this country against all foreign & domestic enemies. They are not doing their job . Call in the real military not these fake hallway monitors !!!!!

The inaction of our government is enabling these people. \nI am not against legal asylum seeking but what is happening now is illegal and nothing is being done by the authorities. \nCan you believe legal immigration applicants are waiting years in the system because all the attention was shifted to these illegal crossings.\n\nNo country has open borders like this.

Fix your own country. Same thing about earth. They trying to find a new planet to live on . Fix earth ! How about that? Get it together and fix your own country. Fix home! If there is life on this new planet like earth you better believe they closing the borders to there planet. Humans got a bad track record of killing stealing and confusing. Look at the history ?! Fix your country and everyone. Fix earth.?

Return them all back to there country and do what Poland have done no migrants and museums full stop I can see a civil war coming very soon need to get out of our country and patrol our borders

Bring the Military to the Border,just like any others countries,that would be the end of illegal immigration...done?

But he still didn’t answer why his and other neighboring countries haven’t taken 1 Palestinian refugee! Not even the border nations that Palestinians can walk to

I am an Indian and this is insane. I keep seeing people from different parts of the world talking $hit about the US, muzlims hating Americans. If that's the case, then why are you people dying to go there???‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️\n\nDear Americans, you have every right to protect your borders. Better secure them, so that another 9/11 shouldn't occur. We Indians are suffering from illegal migration from Bangladesh & Myanmar,and these migrants are responsible for all r@pes and harassment incidents all over our country. They dont love our countries. They just want to make us the same mess they were in their homeland.???

Hmm. If you open up the borders and let the Palestinians enter, then you give them a choice. Otherwise, how would you be able to say that the Palestinians do not want to leave their land? If you don't allow them to. I'm sure some would... after all, if they don't want to leave, then why are there Palestinians in non Arab countries?

No Muslim country is doing anything to help them. A number have helped and supported Hamas resulting in recent events. The Palestinians elected Hamas and celebrated the events of Oct 7th. Hamas and Palestine want Israel gone because it is Jewish. \n\nAny number of Muslim countires could open their borders and give the Palestinians temporary refuge - but they refuse. \n\nHamas could face Israel in open combat away from the Palestinians but they won’t. They want them as tv propaganda and collateral damage and human shields.\n\nFact.

If he noticed none of the Arab world wants Palestinians in their country. Why isn't anybody asking why not. You wanna help the Palestinians get rid of Hamas help them by reeducation and help rebuild Gaza in their infrastructure maybe temporarily take some of them into your country. But it seems like most Arab countries around the area of Israel are terrified to take Palestinians into their country. In fact Egypt itself re fortified its border crossing to prevent Palestinian Arabs from entering their country.

Other reasons what they won't!\nIn the past……\n“ They were accepted by Jordan, where they tried to assassinate the King and take over the country, teamed up with Syria and triggered a full scale war.\nEjected from Syria, where they caused problems and were forced into Lebanon.\nIn Lebanon, they helped trigger a civil war that has utterly destroyed the country.\nIn Egypt they fomented terror attacks. Egypt classifies Hamas as a terror group and cliaedvthe border long ago. Their defences against Gazan incursion look like a he Berlin Wall.”\n(Geoff Caplan \nQuora Dec 13)\nThe above is 100% true!

It's Mexico's fault they go thru their country to get to ours mexico doesn't close their borders

Ppl come to our border bc our government give billions to help other countries already. They gave billions to that racist country of Ukraine with all those nazi’s they put in the military and gave billions to Israel after they killed over 20k people including innocent women and children. Maybe if they stop helping racist countries, these others wouldn’t try to flood the borders illegally.

What other country in the world would let this happen???What other border can you storm without consequences? But some people say this is a racist country??Why does everyone want to come here if we are so racist?Its only the people who live here @ don't have everything they want that call it racist

3 Million Ukrainian refugees were absorbed by Christian/Western countries after Russia invaded. Hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees were resettled across the world (many were taken in by Western countries.) Millions of Syrian refugees resettled in European countries. Shame on Arab world and your fake ummah. Wealthiest countries that closed their borders. You only use Palestinians as proxy mercenary fighting force.

Seems like he avoided saying that the arab countrys should take some refugees. \n\nNothing wrong with allowing the refugees/ women and children in their borders and then when the military operation is done , letting them return to their land

How is everybody missing the false logic that he quietly inserted.\n\nHe states a premise that Palestinians do not want to leave their land. In that case, why not open the border and see if Palestinians come in. If they do not, then his premise is correct, if there’s a mass exodus, then there’s premise was just a way to shift responsibility.\n\nJordan and Egypt occupied the Westbank and Sasa strip from 1948 to 1967 what stopped them from creating Palestine or simulating those countries into theirs? Why was there no prosperity during that period?\n\nThe truth is that the refugees follow the 1948 and the land that was going to be given to the following. The conclusion of demand of Palestine has been in a tug of war between various factions for the last 70 years.

Agrees, aids can use Egypt or sea to help the need. Palestinians stop booming Isreal and keep your land, build ? wall with no border gates throught Isreal. We people are explores neither of us stays where they belong without countries borders the world is for all of us.

As long they don’t need take any refugees from Palestine , no Arab country’s want the , Egypt have border, they don’t let any one in

So if Israel stops going after hamas. In a couple years will it start over again? okay so what I would do strategically. Is egypt and other nearby countries should open their borders. Palestines should leave with their children. After Israel wipes out hamas. Then come back. You want a two party democracy right or no? because my understanding was hamas had the overall choice in the election of power. Also are the tunnels for evacuation or for military?

He basically said: they made their bed and now they can lie in it. \n\nThere’s quite a few Palestinians trying to leave and seek refuge in Egypt since they opened their borders to take a limited number of them in.. as long as they’re not associated with Hamas. \n\nHamas brought this war to the Palestinian’s doorstep in Gaza and if other Arab nations don’t want to open their borders to the Palestinians who would like to leave because of the war, then there will be an increased number of civilian casualties. Just because their fellow Arabs refuse to take them as refugees doesn’t mean Israel loses the right to defend itself from the barbaric terrorist attack Hamas launched against them. \nAny other country would have the right to defend itself from terrorists that live at their borders. If Hamas cared about their citizens, they’d have a plan for them and their safety once they initiated this war on Oct 7th. But it seems like Hamas’s only plan for them was to be disposable pawn martyrs caught in between them and Israeli forces. \n\nYou can’t torture, rape and kill 1,400 Israeli citizens/foreign nationals and take 200+ hostages back to Gaza during a depraved terrorist attack and then cry ceasefire when that country declares war and is winning. Especially when you’re still holding onto hostages and not honoring the terms of the first ceasefire by letting the Red Cross see the hostages. \n\nIf these other countries cared about the Palestinians, they’d take any refugees that wanted to leave. They clearly don’t want to do that for some reason. They’re watching from afar with their popcorn, saying “isn’t it terrible what the Israeli’s are doing.. but we won’t let them come here to escape, which would let the Israelis fight this war with Hamas, who initiated it, without civilians in between.” With no mention of how Hamas as put them in the middle and isn’t protecting them. Also no mention of any responsibility Hamas has for bring this war onto them by the large scale terrorist attack, that includes hundreds of civilian hostages of all ages.

Dear Honorable Minister, \nI will request our Canadian immigration and Canadian border security to stop issuing visas and bringing more Indian students and work permit holder. We don't have more spaces and jobs to accommodates.. They are big burden to local governments. These students in one room 4 or 5 peoples. Rent and sleep. each pay $500 or $600 wow.............. \n One of my job collage born here and her family was born here, she was crying and complaining about her kids can not get jobs at Wendy's of Tim Hortons bcuz all local Canadian students jobs are taken over by Indian students. what a Shameful and she was so upset. \nShe said Canadian citizens need to get priority to get local gas stations or fast food restaurants or super stores jobs, IT related jobs instead of international student. \ninternational students after work drive fast and don't follow traffic rules. \nImmigration Canada needs to check completer back ground ,every single Indian student or work permit visa holders. Some of them could be Indian secret services agents, they could be cause more trouble for Canadian citizens and Sikh \nMost of Indian Hindus are inspired by Modi's party BJP and RSS terrorist organization was involved in killings of Indian Christian , Muslims and other Indian minorities. \nThanks for your time \nGod Bless our beloved country Canada.

Yet not one bordering Muslim country will take one Palestinian refugee. Allah's according to the Quran, the Great Deceiver for nothing.

The Law is CLEAR. You must seek Asylum in the first country you arrive in, which in this case is Mexico. If Mexico was held accountable for this they would secure their own Southern Border Period. !!! There's a solution to hold Mexico responsible, not a single American Tourist enters Cancun, Puerta Vallarta International Airport Airports until Mexico stops the Migration to America's southern Border. America is going to face a huge Humanitarian Crisis within the next 8 - 12 months at the rate Illegals are coming. This is all by design from the Biden Administration ?? And yet Hate Filled Anti American's cheer this on.

Ha, ha, haaaaaaaa! Gaza is on the border with Egypt. Even Egypt doesn't wan them and makes it hard for them to cross the border! Why would any country want to take in rabid Palestinians?

Bollocks answer, they don't give a toss about Palestinians being killed, end of. The war is between Israel and Hamas, not Palestine. Removing the innocents from the battlespace will prevent the unnecessary loss of life and bring the conflict to a swifter end. Got to question why neighbouring muslim countries wouldn't open the borders to ease the problem while hamas is removed

I hate to say it but no wall will keep them out and we can't seem to train and hire enough border patrol and ppl to check and make sure the ppl coming in are good ppl... what if we. The US just bombed Mexico and Guatemala and all these other terrible countries where the rotten drug cartels rule and there are alot of them, they rape and torcher these ppl but if we just blew it all up then we don't have this problem anymore... I am ashamed to say this cause I am a Christian and I care about all ppl (unlike most of the others on here) and at Christmas time... I'm just really ashamed to say I'm American

Very logical and instructive response. The weight has to be lifted by some countries united together to stop the massacre of Palestinians on Humanitarian ground, much like breaking into a house to stop a murderer ready to kill someone.\nWhy are the countries so intimidated by a tiny state with a few millions that can be wiped off in a few seconds...with no consequence of an extended war beyond the border of Palestine. It just doesn't make any sense, 8 billion world population can be held hostage by a mere 8 million Jews in Israel whose valor or heroism is just fictional and overblown.

Just open borders and see if Palestinians want to settle in other Arab countries or not. You guys aren’t opening your borders because you knew some of them would be trouble makers for you. West is already facing their nonsense.

NICE TRY ???.... THE PALESTINIANS ACTUALLY WANTED TO LEAVE, THEY RAN TO THE BORDERS. , MUSLIM COUNTRIES REFUSED TO OPEN THEIR BORDERS FOR THEM...BECAUSE OF TERRORISM, BECAUSE MOST PALESTINIANS WERE RAISED TO HATE.

Where the F*ck is our military? It’s their job to protect the border plane and simple. Job number one is always security. This has got to stop,or we are going to turn into the 3rd world. Hey everybody that was born in the USA, this is depleting your social security, your wages, your quality of life( if you still have that) . We have to vote the Democrats out and any republicans that support this nonsense. Or there won’t be a country that you recognize, and your freedoms out the window
