If I was them; I would go to Canada. It’s dangerous here since Republicans only give “thoughts & prayers” instead of passing sensible gun legislation; their children would be in danger in our schools. Also; their children wouldn’t receive a very good education in many States since Republicans want to keep banning books. (Register to vote & vote Republicans out of office on Election Day.)

The powers that be is allowing this madness. I blame the left and the right. They reward those people for breaking the law. they wouldn't come in the people in the White House wouldn't give them food stamps housing medical care and allow their children to go to school. they come with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Every administration allowed this. America puts others above its own citizens

I’m furious and sad about the fact that they are the victims of the oppressor and the oppressed far left ideology…they had their wealth suck out of their motherland and were urged to migrate to the US. The real goddamn culprits of this whole bullshit are those who speak of “rights” for the oppressed. Those fu**ing Marxists who wouldn’t give a damn about the real oppressed anyway….

I'm American and i hate My government. I hate my family too actually. Bunch of lying manipulative scum. Open the boarder, give everyone social security numbers and fingerprint them. Or be stupid and racist. Thinking your doing well because your white and say you're all about Jesus. Dumb ass.\n\nIf Mexicans got absorbed into America, the cartel wouldn't exist anymore. But government is a fucking conspiracy.

Yes and if these people truly believed in God and Jesus they wouldn't run from their countries but actually stay on the ground and stand strong in their faith that God and Jesus are going to help them persevere through all this. As a fully disabled American citizen with a child that doesn't even get $1,000 a month and there's no available housing at all where I live no waiting list to go on people on SSI disability don't get any extra housing help we're not offered separate housing are put on separate lists and low-income Able Body people or the migrants jumping the Border but I was born and raised here paid taxes and worked until my body literally couldn't anymore but I don't hear anybody bitching and screaming and crying about the fact that my son and I would be on the streets if it hadn't been for one of my family members stepping up and giving his housing after a lifetime restraining order issued during my pregnancy on my son's biological do do with domestic abuse situation. I'm also US citizen that spent time in the Wards in Houston and projects and other cities and if you don't think that we don't have the same gun violence drug trafficking human trafficking gangs take it over cartels taking over neighborhoods and communities than you're freaking lying to yourself and everybody else. The same s*** that's taken over these countries is taking over the inner cities have been for decades and these are the same communities that most of these people will end up in. No it's not about not being good Christians part of being a good Christian is reminding people to stand their ground and have faith in Jesus and God and their own home territory and not to give it up to the crime people in the bad politicians. You can't say you believe in God and Jesus Christ and then he's got your back while you're running and that's the truth in the reality that nobody wants to hear the more people run from these countries the more the bad people are able to take over and then we get complaints here in the states about the cost attacks is rightfully so. For those people screaming and shouting that everybody should go out pick up in my grant and bring them home to their house and feed them and take them and I challenge you to do the same thing for homeless before you even do the migrant do homeless American citizens go out and really educate yourself because I'm totally tired of hearing from Americans that the only people that live on the streets are people with mental health problems that need mental health treatment or people that are stoned out and that's where they want to be you guys are so f****** wrong and this is coming from someone that met homeless people spent time around homeless people and understand we have a society that wants to paints a very different picture than what's truly going on because then it allows for hey it's not our problem they want to be there. I will say there's two I'm sure a lot of people are attracted to come into the United States I mean it's kind of turned into the Devil's Playground don't you think I mean look at how ostentatiously people live the projects on the backs of taxpayers selling dope holding down dead-end jobs to make it look like they're working all while going out and getting their hair did and their nails done and their eyelashes done and pimping out their cars and all that b******* and buying all this you know high-end tennis shoes and f****** clothing and Handbags and s*** and then we have the part of the United States that justified of themselves all the time or it's okay to have this huge palatial house or have multiple houses I'll we have United States veterans living on the streets or people that truly have disabilities that have been a waiting list for 2 and 3 years for housing. I remind people all the time and they hate hearing this s*** Jesus never had a house as a matter of fact Jesus basically live like a homeless person after he was an adult particularly and God made sure he was provided for. I mean did you all forget the night they came to take them away they were asleep in an Open Garden it wasn't like they popped up tents or glamper camper sites had some little Adobe type cabins they were sleeping in. As a matter of fact if you pay attention to most of the stories about Jesus and talking about him sleeping he does a lot of sleeping Outdoors. Remember God is a father that's how he's been represented and talked about in the Bible and Jesus was a man without a doubt no biological transgender question ability there. People need to remember that part of being a fair and loving. Is also teaching and discipline and these children following rules. I don't believe hearing God and Jesus telling all these people run from your countries and not have faith that I'm actually going to fix things for you and go run to somebody else actually go run to the United States where all those stuff is traveling through. I never understood the logic of that it's like rats run from the country where they're making the drugs to the country that supplying the globe with it and we're all of these bad people have thousands of people in planted everywhere with guns and hookups. I don't know why people don't understand that we have dirty lawn forcement in dirty politicians that are in bed with the dirty drug cartels that's as much as they are in the country. You don't think that there's not decisions made in the United States based on drugs and I'm not talking about how to put it into them but how to keep them flowing. I have Fred still in Florida and we were all making jokes about how quickly Sanibel Island all the way up to st. Pete got Mainland access so quickly after the last major hurricane that took everything down and we all know what it's from is because that portion of Florida is used to bring a lot of drugs in from South America, Central America. So for all of you that want to post your personal assumptions about homeless people because that's all it is unless you've actually been homeless or spent time around homeless you really have no clue what's going on in the homeless population except what you've been told by the same political talking head media bulshit that's been lying to everybody about a bunch of other stuff too. Don't you get it the politicians don't want people knowing that a lot of the people that are homeless on the street are people that are disabled and aren't disabled because they have mental health problems I know that's the narrative they've been trying to stuff down people's throats.

You wouldn't see it if it wasn't for all of the free shit our dumb ass government gives them

If they would stop showing how\n American's are getting stimulus checks on Google news, and other media platforms. Then maybe we wouldn't have so many people trying to come to America for free money. ? There giving away free money in America. ? What, America here I come.

I'm born and raised in the US (my Family lineage has been here for centuries??) and I went to University in Canada. There are things that I like and dislike about both.\n\nThere are more Canadians coming to the US than in reverse. Politically I'm non Partisan. So I really don't need to say much on that, from both Countries. I think the US doesn't pay a lot of attention to Canada. I feel Canada wants the US to give it, its respect.\n\nLong story short, if I was rich, I wouldn't want to live in either Country.?

i feel like i take for granted just how ACTUALLY multicultural toronto is. it's not just a city of enclaves like most other big cities, it's all sorts of different people actually living and interacting with each other daily. i think growing up in a place like that gives you a unique view of humanity overall that you wouldn't get growing up elsewhere.

I hate to tell you but Canada isn't any better and maybe worse, given the Woke PM running this country. Sorry !!! I'm not sure what place would be better. In Canada they'll give you this B.S. about do you have any Canadian Experience. This is simple Racism in Western countries. I wouldn't waste my time in Canada as they'll give you the same B.S. if not worse. So, Canada lets you in and then financially bleeds you dry. Welcome to the Woke reality of the New World Order. I'm sorry. The End. Good-Luck and Good-Bye. The End.

Some ppl need to be respect and here our government favors ppl from other countries. But doesnt give a dam about their own Canadian born ppl. And than others start the racial wars. They dont believe that their doing. Myself if immigrants only new the truth. They wouldn't come here. Trudeau only cares for china

I hate Quebec, and Ontario. They give Trudeau to us and ruin our lives. I wouldn't help anyone from either place ever again

I was racial profile at Walmart bought a TV there that was broken had lines going through it the lady accused me as tampering with the serial number and wouldn't give me my money back but said I can get a TV for less or more money

I hate to see Africans complaining about a friendly country when they come from countries without opportunities.\nFrance wouldn't give you the advantage you got in Canada

Just stop coming to Canada period. Don’t mean to be rude but it wouldn’t be so bad here if we stoped giving out handouts too everyone and supporting every country that’s broke or not doing too good. And we know y’all just come here and fill up the homeless shelters and collect government money till you get on your feet.\nCome to Canada if you have something to contribute to society \n\nYou can’t help everyone out and us real Canadians are struggling as is…

What people fail to understand is that the grass is always greener on the other side...until you get there and realise that its just different shades of green. There are so many benefits to living in Africa. And there are benefits to living in western countries too. If you like jobbing (being an employee), saving for retirement and having a stable government to protect your investment or give you welfare benefits and having free healthcare and generally living a risk-free life, then abroad is for you. There are downsides though - while you have good roads and healthcare, you can hardly save, your mental health is on the line, you probably will have no social life, the genetically modified food, polluted air, chemicalized everything will cut your life span down. You can be an enterpreneur but the taxes alone, the regulation, etc can discourage you. \n\nIn Africa, there are security concerns but the same security concerns exist in all countries, only they differ in their nature. In Africa, I can grow my food, I can build my house according to my budget (no mortgage), I can start a business any day, i can feed on little money ( you can find markets that sell cheap food produce). And most importantly for me, the health factor - organic food, family and friends to help with your mental health and laugh and cry with you as the occasion demands. \n\nAnd now the icing on the cake - you can make the same dollar you make abroad from your country! So many online platforms to be a freelancer, to work for companies and individuals abroad. So you are making the same money and not drowning in taxes, in high rents, insurance fees and you can afford top-notch healthcare, even better than what you can get abroad. \n So it's up to you. Stop believing that abroad is better. it's not actually. I swore I wouldn't raise a child in London because of the high rate of knife crimes on the streets and the government' s lax attitude towards it because such crimes involve black kids. I never felt such fear in Africa. To each his own. My African shade of green works well for me. Abeg

I hate our police. They don't show up and then only charge him with uttering threats when he hit her. I got stabbed in the neck in a parking lot while walking into a Wendy's by some emo kid who I wouldn't give change to. He is still out on a promise to appears, police don't care.

Of course it's beautiful, but I wouldn't come here at the moment if I were an immigrant. I have several college diplomas in Civil Engineering and Architecture and can't get a job in that field since covid took over the world. Same goes for many other industries, people would have better luck staying home and starting a youtube channel...lol But if you still decide to come here, let me know and I'll give you a tour of the west for free...

Everyone here is asking for the officers side of story. but whatever it is he cannot refuse to do the job he has.( in his privileged position of giving people visa he can’t behave so erratically and inconsiderately and blackmailing to not issue visa ) It is like a teacher saying student, if u talk back to me I will punish ur grades.. unprofessional and much more….. \n Even if the couple are in the wrong then he should have asked for proper assistance and be impartial. If couple were in the wrong the office wouldn’t have issued visa later on.

Innwester world we pay taxes , in one £ we give 57 pennies back ,\nIf we own a car we cannot drive unless it is insured ,road tax is paid and MOT is done ,\nWe need to pay massive stamp duty in buying houses \nWe pay vat in everything vwe buy \nWhat you talking about ?\nWhy the government wouldn't facilitate the people's after having every penny they have ?

Honestly, I wouldn't give anyone money who's wearing a niqab either, sorry. If I can't see your face then I feel like you're hiding something.

I wouldn't give money to someone wearing a niqab also. It might be a personal choice to wear it or not, but it also leans more to extremist in my views than not. wearing a hijab isn't that bad, but a niqab is usually found in extremist mentality.

The lady on the street asking for money to be raised I wouldn't give her money no matter what she was wearing as she is not displaying anything to say that she will donate it. She is not working for a charity ect..

Quite right ! If you go to any of their countries they treat you like crap .\nI wouldn't give anyone of colour my house to rent

Canada has given asylum to lots of people fleeing countries in the midst of civil wars, those who face political persecution where it threatens their life or liberty. Coming from a place that's just really violent is not quite the same, I mean some places in the US are really violent e.g. Chicago, you wouldn't expect Canada to give asylum to US citizens on this basis.

Islam gives higher place to women ????. What a joke !!!!. She should just go out without hijab in a gathering of her family and relatives . I bet she wouldn't want to talk about it .

Let’s not forget MANY OF US wouldn’t be here if our parents/ancestors wouldn’t of immigrated (Yes Im one of them) let’s not be hypocrites now “oh go back” we all do what’s best for our family to give them a better future this man paid with his hard earned money his own lawyers. Many of us depend on a Public defender when arrested gtfoh this ain’t up for debate I don’t care about anyone’s negative comments so save them, better yet keep them make a profit out of it.

And if everybody was this cool all around the globe there probably wouldn't be war. im proud of this decision. who gives a shit where your taxes go. whether it was being spent on a missile, a tank, or a hotel room for a family in need who has nowhere else to go. who cares. have a heart.

It’s sad and disgusting to read the comments by all these privileged entitled little bit.ches who’s greatest accomplishment in life was being born on a different part of the the world than this man and they feel they have the right to open their mouths with such righteousness. What would you do for your family or at least for yourself if you were born in a country where there was poverty and crime every single day of your childhood. This guy was MAN enough to risk his life to leave his country leaving family behind just so that he didn’t die. And I know what your first ignorant comment is gonna be “he could’ve done it legally”. No he couldn’t because if he could I’m sure he would have done it. And he even tried to do it legally here in Canada and spent $15K and was denied. But here you all sit behind a keyboard all brave with your privileged entitled life judging a man who all he wants is a better life for his family. And to the “men” who are commenting and judging this man as “an everyday criminal” I guess you wouldn’t give a s.hit for your wives and kids if they were living in a dangerous and poor country or being sent back to an environment where you could potentially be killed the first week you’re back. I guess you would all just say “fu.ck them let them die”. You fu.c.king cowards.

What if men wanted to cover themselves up like that?  Give me a break, of course it wouldn't be allowed.

It's interesting to see a Muslim woman give her opinion when in many Muslim dominated countries she wouldn't be given the same opportunity. I've also noticed many Muslims being interviewed are obviously not from overseas meaning they most likely haven't lived in a country that is governed by the law of the religion they follow. I wonder how they would enjoy living in any of the Muslim countries where Sharia law is practiced.

why can't muslim people hold back when other people comments on islam or their prophet whether it is bad or good, if you all have any common sense as a person you should know god will judge these people at the end... if i was a muslim living in a western society with freedom of speech i wouldn't give a damn about name calling cause that is not my problem and let god judge him or her when they stand in front of god.
