The sad reality is under the last president we would have had a booming economy, surely we could have let in many more immigrants than we have been safely and legally, and even still had the tax dollars to do so. Under the current regime they want you homeless and owning nothing while they spread your equity to all the homes less, lazy, and irresponsible. Makes sense Biden.

Did he ever say why he wasn’t happy in the US or Canada? I think sometimes their hope exceeds reality, especially if you don’t speak English or have job skills that are in demand.

Got to love media and their slanted presentation of everything to while is appears like they are giving you news, they're really telling you how to think on certain issues.\nWhy now? Why are they doing this? Really?\nUh, I don't know. Maybe because America through policies has caused a lot of problems in south America, destabilizing the area, which causes a lot of migration of a lot of refugees. Or how about how America closed the border to even legal refugees, causing them to pile up at the border. How about how they can't survive just sitting there waiting for the border to open, despite how the excuse for Covid as being the reason for why the border was closed is long gone. How about how the refugees are being attacked and victimized constantly while they wait.\nYet, ya, they're the bad people for becoming so desparate to get out of their terrible situation. Also, how about how amazing it is that supposedly balanced news networks never seem to balance out their reports by including such realities of the situation in their slanted propaganda reports.\nAlso, I see lots of mentions of large homeless populations in America as being the excuse of why America can't possibly help.\nYet, no doubt all these commenters likleu blane homeless people for being homeless despite how the employment is at record lows and employers are desperately looking for anyone to work for them. It's almost like they don't see how the effects of employers offering wages too low to support paying rent being mixed with large investment firms buying up all the Housing stock and enacting policies of constantly evicting current tenants to increase rental prices isn't a major component in the problem.\nThe reality is, the housing crises could be easily fixed by raising minimum wage to a living wage and restricting investment firms from using residential housing as investment stocks especially as one of their tactics seems to be to intentionally not rent out large portions of their housing stock to create a shortage in supply, this driving up demand along with rental prices.\nYou can't honestly complain about the homeless crisis while ignoring the fact that corporations are intentionally keeping rentals empty to drive up rental prices. I'm pretty sure that fits within one of the definitions of insanity.

As much it’s sad to see this. In reality these people should keep this spirit against their own governments who have stolen their basic rights. Should fight instead of flight. \n\nAnd in reality US citizens are already struggling hard. Our tax payers money can’t be for these kind a crowds.

The sad reality is that their countries suck so bad no one wants to live there should tell you enough about Latin America

It might be sad but the reality is that we can’t just let anyone into a country, could be spy’s and terrorists you never know so letting people in illegally isn’t the right move

Lame fake news is a big part of why this is a reality ?

They hoped the grass would be greener, but reality is, its all dirt and concrete. What do they think will happen?? Riots and more killing.????

Amazingly they dont know what they gonna get after they enter america, delusion vs reality

Wow. Democrats are handling this so freaking well. They demanded to let them all in. They can’t control them, and now the so called “Sanctuary Cities” don’t really want to live up to their promises. Since the democrats cared so much and voted democrat for this, every democrat should take an immigrant. I’m sure there will be enough to go around. What the hell did you all think was goi g to happen? Reality check guys.

Our tax payers are paying these immigrants to come participate in our himan demise. No joke no lie reality people

I'm white, both my parents are white and they, we didn't receive much better treatment here either. I think cronyism is a more accurate description than racism. \nCanadians seem to only accept those within their small, insular groups. You will notice that Canada supports multiculturalism but that means that there are thousands of cliques operating inside a whole. As for WS or microaggressions, don't worry as they will be overtaken by other groups which will won't even bother with being subtle.\nPeople have come here through legitimate channels or across at Roxham Road with the polite RCMP bellhops but failed to research thoroughly the reality of this land. I have talked to or read from newcomers who complain that it's cold and there's no culture. No kidding. (Try living in a logging camp with 300 inches of rain a year.) Suffice to say these newbies are less than thrilled.\nNot sure what to say other than this is the reality and it's quite unlikely to change no matter what Trudeau or others do. ?‍♀️?‍♀️

Sad reality , Americans won’t do anything.

Sad reality is the US should leave Venezuela alone so they can build their country without sanctions.

Well we can put them in az when I was on my road trip I noticed it all empty but reality it just sad.

The issue here is not that we have a housing crisis , first of all let’s start with honesty. I have multiple friends from different culture backgrounds, however, one thing that sticks out to me , and some of you may not want to hear it , it’s that most of my friends that are predominantly “white” have become homeless or nearly missed it by being able to get some rental assistance either through local or federal grants. With that being said, I’m an American as well but in all reality it’s mostly immigrants or their offsprings that I witness myself still living regularly even during and after covid,why is that ? Why ….

Sad reality is that now trumps is not in office the news doesn’t really care anymore. Cause they used us Latinos to swing voters they never cared about the border situation. That’s the sad reality, no sunshine and rainbows.\nSeems to me that the best you can do FOR MEXICO = is for all of them to start using they’re phone and internet, start learning about technology science how to make solar panels become a country of intellectuals who study and help each other study and learn how to grow foods , they already have a foot over UNITED STATES because they don’t have WALMART they can sustain themselves. They don’t necessarily have to work for food . Land property is different to once the lands yours it’s yours (unless you abandon the land for certain time)\nLiterally Mexico should say FK YOU to the world and just learn and study.\nCrazy as fk that back in the day science(to study science) was only found in universities now every fking body can learn just from they’re house and 50-60 dollar phone bill.

Let them find out reality! They are going to wish they were back in there country.

This shouldn't be necessary, I agree people should fight to make their own country better, and people do need to think about the socioeconomic reality of their own country when hosting immigrants as well.\n\nBut at the same time, it's kind of sad to see so many people not just worrying about it but literally hating people as if they were all dangerous criminals who come to kill you and steal your job, and not just loving fathers and mothers doing the same that a lot of your parents and grandparents did hundreds of years ago. Looking for a better future. But people love fighting and hating for flags and borders.\n\nLet's not forget that the whole modern America (the continent) was funded by immigrants and colonizers. And most people complaining are not exactly native Americans.

And the sad reality is that any of them that get hurt trying to INVADE our nations border will have some SOB from the ACLU standing there to get their names and sue the border patrol and win! Who says crime doesn't pay?

Reality is if you let them in easily in due time the US will become the same crime riddin country as the one these immigrants have fleed from.jmo

This will reduce the quality of life in the USA. But until reality hits these folks joking around about this disaster, they’ll start to whine and cry and throw tantrums of what they’ll lose

This is the reality of the Biden administration......no concern for American citizens. Let illegals flood into our country...& give them everything they want, on the U.S. taxpayers dime.....what a DISGRACE !!!

My visit to Canada is only a tourist. I felt Canada didn't have any emotions, cold and detach from reality. The country is full of India. Alot of African countries require Visa if your USA citizen. And South America

The sad reality is these people are running away from a country that has abandoned them and gun violence. Guess how many guns stores they are in central and South America ? 0 ! Guess who sells them the guns ? Our very own US of America. We created part of this problem and then complain when they flee the violence. Just be thankful it’s not you on the other side !

What makes them feel they're entitled to break our laws?\nIt's because the Tribe of Little Hats who control the media has been telling lies to the migrants.\nThey've also convinced many gullible Americans this is the moral thing to do, ignoring the obvious destructive economic consequences. \nAlso, there are many politicians and high ranking law enforcement agents who've taken millions in bribes to help facilitate this invasion.\nTop all this off with the mainstream media owned by the same Tribe that spins the realities of this invasion, thus anaesthetising the average citizen into complacency.

This is CNN? Hah.. bit hypocritical now, no? What happened to walls being r*cist over the last 5 years. You only report the reality of the sitution when shit hits the fan.

Sad part is they all believe there is “the American Dream” an reality is there isn’t. Once entered illegally where do they think they will go to some kingdom where they are given everything they need to survive? They will come be homeless and in the system. As it Is, us that are here working and born here can hardly get by and less you have lots of money and are rich there is no dream.

Smh ? sad reality for all

Sad reality is these people are better dressed and look more healthy than 90% of Us citizens. These are definitely not all people that are in fear for their lives. They clearly have had food and water and some kind of life. What about our citizens in violent cities? Especially the ones who have no food, shelter, family, nothing to keep them away from violent people... Where can an American go for asylum? Where can we find refuge from our corrupt politicians? From the mentally illand violent? Its even worse thinking that these people will get treated better than those who have fought for this country. Risking life and limb to protect freedom. I think freedom in America was always an illusion. We were always being manipulated and controlled. Its just before it was less in our face. They don't care to hide what they are doing anymore. They have been successful in making people zombies and slaves. They think nothing can stop them now. They see the finish line and they are running harder at it. Lest everyone wakes up and holds them accountable.

Reality is Californians are trying to escape & bout to sneak in to Mexico

America has fought HARD for centuries to achieve freedom. We’ve shed infinite amounts of blood for the rights we have. Freedom isn’t free. It takes centuries to get to that. People think it sucks to have to spend ten years becoming a legal citizen here, well count yourself lucky that you didn’t have to shed any blood, lose any family members, fight against an oppressive enemy for your rights, or lose your house in a battle for a free country. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look up American history. Count how many battles were fought; how many wars; how many people died; how many Americans became POW’s on our own land during the Civil War. Look how hard it’s been. Look how hard it is now. We never stop fighting for what we want. Freedom takes work. America isn’t some island paradise. It never has been. We all live on the same earth. We all experience hardship. And there’s no amount of money, illegal border crossing, or anything else that can keep us from that harsh reality. In life we’re going to suffer. That’s just how it is. Stop thinking that illegally crossing a border is somehow going to solve all problems. It won’t. The grass isn’t greener on the other side just because. Bloodshed makes that grass green: Sacrifice. Hard, laborious work; and centuries of time.

Wouldn’t be as much of a problem if the American government were to take care of its own ppl instead of sending money elsewhere. Everyone always points the finger at migrants for the economy being rough. When I’m reality it our own government. Not to mention nobody own the land it was here before us and it’ll be here after us, or we’ll destroy it with us

Sad reality is that they aren’t even Mexican but yet Mexicans get blamed.

Biden and his openly gay first woman spokesperson ..her words..not to be pubic info..very private what she does with her genetails .Have to learn to focus on our reality..our repyblic..the constitution..our border

I work 12 hr a day 5 days a week to pay $4000 plus utilities in so cal not including rest of the bills ! Sad reality is that the wage isn’t keeping up with inflation and most young American’s can’t afford to move out and live a comfortable life. I can’t imagine coming to this country with nothing trying to live the “American dream”

News flash:thats all over the world my sisters and brothers,its a harsh reality.

ALL WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE THE SAME THEY DON'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE. \nTHAT IS THE REALITY.

I am black and have lived in every major Canadian city. This sista is correct. The WS movement has been a global reality for like…ever!

As a black person who grew up in Canada yes you experienced racism but I also have rules hang out with my own kind and I don't befriend white people whoever gives respect gets my respect and when I experienced racism I give them the same energy right back sometimes you got to be aggressive and demand your respect sucks but it's a reality keep your foot on their necks

What’s crazy is they’re acting like some big crazy change has been made to how things are done when it reality, the same policies and procedures have just been extended from the last presidency. So why the uproar now?

This is reality in Austria since 2015. And when they get in, they often kill and rape our daughters and wives.

this is completely staged footage for propaganda, fake sound, dramatic editing. it's all a big fat lie people. wake up. the reality is the authorities are letting in tens of thousands per day.

The issue is everyone thinks/ assumes it should be easy to gain US citizenship when in reality most countries require certain capital/ cash investments to gain citizenship…why should the United States be any different especially since a U.S. citizenship is one of the most valuable citizenship’s in the world?

Sad reality is you people don’t realize how fucked up the United States is this issue will only stack ontop of everything it’s not sad that Americans are struggling look around dumbass everyone is struggling and the US has nobody to save them we have Biden dawg and the border patrol been saying they don’t have control of the border and what does Biden do make it easier now you just need an app to come over

Reality check it's not poor Illegal immigrants lowering the middle class

Canada is running on money of Indian student’s Fees ! Specifically students from Punjab. Punjab is feeding Canada in reality!

Sad reality is they breaking into a place that should still be theirs

The worst thing is American people is going to think this is Mexican people when in reality Mexico is suffering from the same issue all this people coming from other countries

If they only new the realities of America and our cost of living, many of they would just stay in their countries of origin.
