The ones I feel sorry for are those that have been here for 10+ years that actually had to present some skills to get into the country during the time when we had a more fair system in place. They're also on the receiving end of these sentiments while watching people getting a free pass into the country that come with far less desirable skills and attitudes.

Mostly entering from Canada are Indians, as they were not able to get a US visa from India so ultimately, this has become the easiest route for them to cross even on foot due to less law enforcement presence In those border crossing areas Like Winnipeg, etc

We know for a fact that a lot of immigrants, legal and illegal, either cram themselves 5 into a single room or end up homeless. Many small towns of 10,000 pop or less who never saw homeless people are seeing tents popping up, rising drug use, theft, etc.

Only a minority of Canadians are anti-immigration. As with the UK, most Canadians who against immigration are less educated and tend to be on the far right of the political spectrum.

This is great. Less brain drain for those of us in developing nations

Less poop in beaches, safer on tragfic, less musky smell in office, less noise in public places, less stealing in stores

I left for US a year ago. Much better pay and career opportunities. Most things cost less.

QUIT LETTING THEM IN!!!\nDeport all who come here ILLEGALLY!\nVote for Donald Trump for President on Nov. 5th\nMake America SAFE and less CROWDED!!

I am all for immigration if it is adding a benefit. Right now the government is using immigration to juice up gdp numbers, the trade off is weaker gdp per capita, lower living standards and higher unemployment = more gov spending and less productivity. Need to focus more on quality and it would be nice to see more diversity in the targets.

Also a note on VISAS. Canadians dont need VISA's to fly to ALOT of countries. Were welcomed in far more countries than Americans. As such, we expect far less countries to have VISAs to get here in return. Ive travelled to Europe many times, no thought to getting a VISA. Hell, they barely look at my passport. White girl with a Canadian passport? Lol they just flop it open and stamp it and wave me thru. Also, were a member of the British Commonwealth, along with many other nations. As such, dont need a VISA. Holland and Canada are BFFs, you can have Dual Citizenship for both.

13 thousand is less than 1 percent of 8 million.

I bust my butt... pay my taxes... as does my entire family- and still don't have 1,400$ a month spending money much less clothing and food stipend... what b.s\n\n\nABSOLUTE ROBBERY BY FORCE BY THE US GOVT\n\nI do not consent to my taxes going to this when i dont even have that much and still have to pay my housing, food, clothes, electric etc. \n\nIt is a robbery of the american people.

Unbelievable, 1400 a month. There are seniors living on less than 500 a month and barely surviving. Living in ran down homes. And these people are just handed 1400 a month and more and given a luxury hotel to live in.

As long as the incentives remain, the people will continue to come. You get more of what you subsidize and less of what you tax- so why do we subsidize unemployment and tax work income?

I'M EXTREMELY HURT YET SUPER ANGRY BECAUSE I'M WAITING FOR MY HUSBAND'S VISA AND IT WILL BE 3 YRS THIS SEPTEMBER 8TH, SINCE MY HUSBAND'S VISA INTERVIEW WAS ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2021. WE'RE MARRIED OVER 6 YRS ALREADY. I HAVE TO PROVE THAT I CAN SUPPORT MY HUSBAND, SHOW MY TAXES, GO ABOVE THE FINANCIAL LIMIT, PAY MEDICAL EXAM, POLICE RECORDS, ALL THE LEGAL WAY. THEN IN THE OTHER HAND, I; AS A TAX PAYER, I'M PAYING FOR THESE ILLEGALS FOOD, SHELTER, MEDICAL, ETC. \nBEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN I FEEL LESS THAN A ROACH AND FEEL ABANDONED WITH MY RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED. SO MUCH INJUSTICE TO THE LEGALS VS. THE ILLEGALS. ??????????????????

No we don't have any h0pe on $audi and UAE govt they are already $itting in the |ap of west they d0nt represent Muslim world anymore stop believing it I am a sunni Muslim has always disagreed with Iranian policy in the region after Syria ma$$acre carried about by Iran and it's proxies they have not been less than i$rahell in Syria but this time they nailed it they are totally on the right side of islamic history atleast they are trying and giving their best rest is upto almighty Allah ?

There's more development in China, Sth Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and now Malaysia. They are cleaner, far less crime, more developed AND don't have to deal with left-wing super-narzi types in schools, counties, states and federally (those are the types doing that to you).

The cartel guys are resourceful, they probably charge the same but less hassle to use the northern border. If I would be the cartel I would send endless amount of people and charge them when they have arrived at the destination. As NY give them money I would take 10% for the first year for example. Easy money and not illegal. As long as the money keep coming the people will turn up.

I remember going to bb king club on 42nd from new jersey and you would get there in a hour or less. today itll take hours guaranteed because of overpopulation.

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.

Who ever said those were real new Yorkers just a island full of anker babies and in less then 5 years it will be millions more just like them all..

MARK MY WORDS: NYC WILL BECAME THIRD WORLD INSIDE THE US. IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. BE PREPARED TO LIVE IN *EXTREME* POVERTY AND CRIME. AH, YOU MUST THANK THE DEMOCRATS FOR THAT.

Just move the border 150 miles north, and you capture 95% of the canadian population, which is less than that of California.

Y are they coming here ? We have no room . They would be better off in other states . How dumb can people get ????? Our country is already in danger of no food, or funds for people that were born here we have to work barely making rent and they just add to it all . Come to New York and surrounding states , it's free to starve and be homeless ... It's soo free we even have people on O2 that tax payers pay for . Again nothing is free in America ... Home less should not be tax payer s problem . Something is wrong with this !!!!

I want to see the less fortunate sleeping on the streets in their home countries.

In true Canadian fashion: Sorry America. We don't want this to be happening either, but our government couldn't care less about what we want. (until 13 months from now)

I'm sorry Actually no I'm not sorry I don't give a crap About the left fortunate In other countries I care about the less fortunate in our own country And all of the less fortunate from other countries can get the hell out And that's what every single American needs to wrap their head around and re-embrace like we used to

You forgot to mention that a large majority of MP’s are landlords or have investments in real estate rentals. The trend was visible since 2004. These rats are the ones creating the demand, they have stalled real estate development, they have brought in more immigrants to increase the demand. The liberals, Conservatives, NDP, they’re all corrupt, freedom trucks and older people think Pierre will save them, he will not. The worst part that even if this mess were to get somehow fixed, prices will not go down, because businesses know that Canadians will pay for more. These rats don’t care, once they have done their business here, they’ll move to Texas, Florida, or California, or some Caribbean country. They’ll keep working as a “international relations” or some sort of public relations relations position for a private company that will give them millions, to use their networks and influence to speed up projects in Canadian communities. They’ll reap the benefits of spending less in the united states, while still sucking Canadians dry through their rental real properties or whatever else they have an interest to spike up the cost of while they are in office.

Ummm is it me or am I missing something here? I thought you need a passport from America going to Canada ??‍♀️? I know these immigrants getting on a plane with NO PASSPORT , MAYBE ONLY 2% HAVE A PASSPORT BUT ITS DOUBTFUL LIKE WTF, THEY MIGHT HAVE A ID BUT THIS IS BEYOND CRAZY‼️‼️‼️?? AND THE WORST FKN PART OF THIS WHOLE THUNG IS SOME CROSSING COULD BE A TERRORIST ??????????UMM YEAH DID ANYONE EVEN THINK OF THIS??, ALSO THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS US AS AMERICANS CANT GET TO THE POLITICIANS TO COMPLAIN AND YES THEY COULD CARE LESS‼️‼️??????AMERICA HAS GOTTEN SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD OVER THE LAST 4 YRS ITS A FKN DISGRACEI COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON BUT I WONT I DONT CARE ANYMORE WHAT HAPPENS IM LEAVING AMERICA ASAP , FUCK THIS COUNTRY ITS NIT GREAT LIKE MANY THINK WE HAVE MAJOR MAJOR PROBLEMS HERE PLUS ITS GETTING WORSE WITH ALL THE KILLINGS AND IF THAT WASNT BAD ENOUGH WE HAVE CORRUPTION HERE TOO DONT THINK FOR A SECOND WE DONT‼️????????\nIM SORRY BUT I NEVER FELT THIS WAY BEFORE BUT I CAN HONESTLY SAY NOW I HATE THIS COUNTRY HATE ITTTTTTT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️?????\nTHIS COUNTRY IS NOW ONLY GOOD FOR IMMIGRANTS SAD BUT TRUE, IF THEY WORK GREAT, BUT WORKING IS NOT THE PROBLEM PROBLEM IS THEY ARE NOW TOP PRIORITY ???

Look at all of the comments from the white crybaby racists. The less white people in the USA, the better!

I'll be quite up front here . Band him so that he cannot put his foot back on White House ground, I say this for your safety much less hours with all good hospitality thank you

“Keeping them off the crime ridden streets,” Crazy to think the crime ridden streets may be a little less crime ridden if they did the same for the many of the individuals that cannot afford housing.?

Criminals are not 'less fortunate'; they are criminals.

I moved here 2018 . Canada has been great to me .I was able to go to college and graduate. Thanks to the student loan.\n\nIt's true, job has declined and things are getting harder since COVID-19 and Trudeau is doing very badly. Next election l will vote Conservative.\n\n\nTalking about religion, l am glad you are leaving. I am ex-Muslim and l believe more Muslims mean less freedom. I challenge you to do a video like this with your wife in Afghanistan.

better the devil you know (knew) .....smh, cant believe i'm going to say this, i'll word it like this, out of both these two, Rishi was the 'less worse one'

And what is Biden and the glorious Kamala doing about it all?! They have literally sat and allowed this all to happen, tying our border patrols hands behind their backs then shipping these illegals throughout the US secretly ditching them in other states. Our country is literally being overrun and our government could care less!

As a Canadian - the immigration tom-foolery that is happening is just as bad up here. Our Prime Minister is a handsome idiot, he was a drama teacher before he became Prime Minister (I know, make that one make sense). He has no idea what he's doing, he's being used as a puppet for more experienced extortionists-erm-politicians. With the help of his party members and a coalition with another party, in less than ten years he has taken Canada from a great place to visit and live to basically what's happening in NY. Crime in our cities has gone up dramatically. Theft is on the rise. Homelessness and drug use is through the roof. Immigration is out of control. And our government also prioritizes immigrants and asylum seekers before born and raised Canadian citizens. As a Canadian who is tired of the nonsense that's been happening in the world this past decade, I wish our government would put on their big boy pants and do something about this uncontrolled immigration. Things are bad here too. Our government seems to keep changing policies and laws to further accomodate the insanity that is happening, I promise, not every Canadian wants these changes to happen. We are just as sick and tired of all this nonsense as our American cousins. I wouldn't be surprised if both countries at some point united in objective and worked together to fix this problem - but that's not gonna happen anytime soon as long as these dummies are in power. But believe me, the regular people of Canada see what you're going through because it's also happening in our own back yard. From this Canadian, I wish you all strength and courage in the coming days, we're all going to need it. God bless, and stay safe everyone <3

We’re screwed. At least with our last president, we had way less illegal immigrants. Now with sleepy Joe and his idiot vice, and the idiots up north, we’re all just getting screwed. They don’t care about citizens anymore. It’s all about criminals now. They’re protected and the citizens are getting treated like slaves

makes sense the US Canadian border is less secure than US Mexico border

Sadly this video doesn't even touch on a lot of the issues in the country still.\n\n(Violent) Crime is absolutely out of control. When I'm out with my camera gear, I'll always carry something with me for protection now.\nParks have become little tent cities.\n\nMy dad's pension has recently been reduced, and this has happened with many seniors, all who payed into it for their entire life. It's already difficult making ends meet with a steady income, now imagine how it is for seniors on a fixed income. \n\nIn less than 5 years I went from spending no more than $150/week on groceries, to upwards of $300-400...and that includes cutting back on what I buy AND not to mention companies shrinking the size of packages. \n\nPP and the CPC might not fix things, but anyone who rewards the imbecile Liberal/NDP collation is in dire need of an MRI to see if they have a functioning brain.

That clown Trump’s doing! I call him orange man. Vote Kamala 2024 ?? and let’s make things right for our country, Canada, and way less fortunate people globally.

Excellent video highlighting this terrible problem. TBH, the world outside of USA isn't all that bad in modern times. Its actually better. Many of these migrants already have a house, job and safety in their own countries. I Feel like the 'cartel' story is overly used to make seeking asylum easy. If the cartels are the problem, then why not go to the root and get rid if the cartels?\n\nFor migrants, it's a fashion and status to say 'I've been to USA'. They lie about their sexuality, oppression abuse and persecution in order to be granted asylum in the US because they know how to make Americans sympathize and make Americans pay their bills. True asylum seekers who need this benefit can never afford their travel all the way to USA. It is those folks who can benefit and should from the program, not the ones who lie, pollute and could care less about hard working Americans that are law abiding tax paying citizens. A country should always take care of its citizens first before another counties citizens. Other countries should care for their own citizens and their problems, not the USA.

37 politicians that were running in Mexico were assassinated before the election of a E W just won. They have less than .5 percent of their population that are E W s and have infiltrated that government there too. Demons are running rampant! Time to rise! Wake Up!

Biden and Harris gave 66 billion to immigrants but only gave 3 billion home less veterans

And why not! New York offers ‘illegal migrants’ free housing, free credit cards, three daily meals, free medical, working papers, gat married to a U.S. citizen and receive a Social Security number, no jail time if the crime is worth less than $1,000.??

Old mother India has out spawned its own pond..Its country CANNOT and DOES not offer a future to its people. Thats a failure by any normal standards. What gets me is, just how many millions have just arrived in other countries in the world. Their numbers and communities exported and imported so solidly everywhere. Within 2 years here in the uk, I am sure there are now, somehow more Indians here than ALL the other groups put together. Its astounding to see the indigenous and others be outnumbered by one group (south Asian continentals) in such s sudden and impactful way. With these movements Politics change, voter types, the , the shared future vision, shared cultural norms, etc resources like public transport trains, rosd traffic, shops, hospitals, public spaces are jam packed overall. No more quiet or isolated spaces, just 24hr pushing, shoving, shouting, mobile phone worship and loud speaker, conference video calling (my God this one grates my soul) destroys the respectful unspoken social and shared rule of EVERYONE else somehow, its insane! The place has no time or space to think. Blink and your place has gone. In every sense: social opportunities, place in queues job opportunities(as they set up internal networks that u are excluded from) aka as smugglers and their smuggled, housing bidding, corrupting of housing laws, benefit fraud all massive problems for local authorities and larger government overall. Under clearer terms and better conditions and planning Im with migration as a theme. Mass intinction to enable mass migration lol maybe less so!! Good luck to us all, we need it. Most of zs just trying to make a living and do right by our family's and our better selves — who can really knock that ???????‍♂️

I hope that Trump wins, but Harris winning and another 4 years of this might be more effective at changing minds. The biggest blackpill is that half the country is still asleep since the pandemic. 30 years ago, more of the adults in the country had children and tolerated this less. JD Vance is right about the voter block of childless cat ladies voting with their emotions is a dangerous thing. Too many voters have no more skin in the game than their personal ideology.

So they are just blatantly entering America ignoring and not caring for our laws and customs because they want to or feel they have a right to be here. This is what makes me less accepting of them more and more. This shows why Democrats should never be in power again.

It's not even just in Brampton even 1 to 2 hours away immigrant and international students take all customer service jobs to the point that Canadians can barely get hired into these roles because we have expectations and rights that we worked for and I've seen these immigrants willing to work for less than legal minimum wage and they do not stand up for themselves or work towards having any shared rights. In addition many politicians on both sides of the aisle are rental landlords so only stand to profit from low rental vacancies and cramming as many people into a small space as possible. They've also cut funding to a lot of post-secondary institutions who rely on inflating tuition cost for international students. At my current role on a team of 15 people plus one manager there are only three white people, born and raised Canadians. The rest are all Indians including the manager and will frequently talk amongst themselves loudly in Punjabi while we're trying to serve customers in the English language. That's actually against policy but Canadians are so outnumbered by immigrants and specifically Indians in this place that it never gets enforced properly. I've never been anti-immigration but it's gotten so bad in Canada especially in places like Ontario that I'm now against it and will tell anyone regardless of their skin color to avoid immigrating here. I've been on a wait list for a doctor for over 11 years, I know people who have died from cancer due to delayed referrals due to long wait list for additional screening, it's insane and absolutely ridiculous especially considering the amount of taxes I currently pay and have paid my entire life as a born and raised Canadian.\n\nAlso it's absolutely true every single one is either taking or has taken post-secondary studies in business admin or management. We don't need more people in these fields we need Healthcare sector workers and not a single one that I've spoken with which again is quite a few studied anything related to medicine Healthcare nursing... not one.

You Sir are a brave person.\n\nI don't even consider going to NY much less NYC now. And I have FAMILY up there!\n\nNot for me brother! Never again I expect.
