Don’t forget it’s the GOP that voted against a harsher a border control bill in order to give Trump credit for it if he won 2024.

As an Indian student, i would like to share with you my perspective \n1) you will never see me dancing in public, blasting music and littering \n\nI actually spend my sundays cleaning plastic from trails \n\n2) i am a full time student for 4 years funding over 90 grand for a bachelor on top of that paying my taxes and paying 1100$ a month for rent being limited to 24 hours a week I do not work outside campus I work the job the college provided to me \n\nThe problem comes up when people use the 1 year and 6 month diploma program to enter the country and work here full time \n\nThey associate themselves only with indians mainly because they cant speak the English language fluently \nTherefore they associate with the exact people they associated with back home \n\nHow will they adapt to a new country if they hang out with the same people \n\n\nI came to canada with a goal \n\nTo make Canadian friends \nLearn about Canadian culture \nStart a new life \nAnd work my ass off to get my degree \n\n\nMost people move here to make more money \n\nThey sell their land and do so \n\nPlease do not associate hard working indians who adapt and leave their past behind with these people who have come here purely to exploit the system\n\n\nTrust me I know it's hard to hear this but good Indians do exist. I have so many Canadian friends who love me as much as I love them. I know how hard you guys work and I am so amazed at how well you carry yourself through this hard time I unfortunately happen to be Indian something I cannot control and I have been a victim to so much discrimination and hate just because I happen to be born in India it's crazy. \n\nWe are respectful Indians we do exist we do have Canadian friends we do adapt to Canadian values and we work hard for the land that gave us this wonderful opportunity to grow . Not all 5 fingures are the same . \n\nYou ask us all to leave but completely forget That it was your institutions invited us in accepted our massive payment , stamped our visas at immigration and let us in \nThe tax money that I pay goes to your government \nThe double fees we pay funds your colleges allowing it to provide quality education to domestic students at half the rate. \n\n\nDon't demonize hard working students because of the people who exploit the system. We have the right to a good life just as much as each and every one of you . We have family we have People we love and we have sacrificed a lot please don't demonize each and every one of us because of the ones who don't know how to behave

immigration needs to have some control. one option is to help the countries that folks are immigrating from...

Listen I feel for migrants and refugees, but it’s also not the job of other countries to take them on. Most countries are already struggling to provide for their own people. This is why I understand why leaders like Trump say he wants to send back illegal immigrants. So much resources have to provided to refugees and migrants. It’s important for people to also push back and reform their own countries. If they are seeking refuge due to circumstances beyond any control, then it’s somewhat understandable…however, many factors need to be considered before taking them on. All country’s citizens deserve the priority first. So many countries are struggling and then are expected to provide for illegal immigrants/migrants :( it’s not fair to these countries.

These people must get it,the US in not their home.Therefore,America must fortify the border with more border control agents.This madness must not continue.

Thanks Biden and Harris Worse Presidency for Border control EVER

People complain about doctors leaving to the States for more money. But reality is, there is no job opening for new specialists finishing up fellowship. So they are pushed around diff hospital as part timer and they end up leaving. Family doctors are also pushed to become a hospitalists or to just become surgery assistant to avoid paperworks and fees that follow being family doctors. Our healthcare is becoming useless because our government is not grasping the reality.\n\nWe need more highways, a real metro system for to support its growing population with integrated infrastructure. If we need to construct more housing, make it possible for architects to build faster and make it easier to become an architect here too. What is wrong with our roads? Gardiner is being fixed and I hope not for 10years. \n\nThis government legalized drugs for taxation, but cannot control harder drugs invading our cities. Our parks are filled with needles...\n\nNow I am in the process of dual citizenship to move out while I retire. Because I dont want to be sick and wait for 10-20hours in the ER.

I came as an engineering student in 1999. Visa students were not allowed to work outside the university. I knew i had to focus on grades and find whatever work on campus. At the time I envyied Canadian friends working during summer but i focused on school and campus work. Problem now is students are coming to work and studying part time. My aim was education not immigration. I met my wife and stayed. Sad to see the Canadian state now..immigration when controlled brings in cream of the crop....now we get anyone and everyone ?

They’re are not the EUs problems. Maybe they should all stay in their country’s and rise up against the governments that are destroying their countries. The Middle East looked a lot better when European countries controlled them. Now look. Just like Africa and Asia. Now these people want to flock to Europe and destroy these European countries as well. Look at what’s happening in the UK right now.

Most people in Canada do like immigrants and try and want to accept newcomers . I am happy to see new faces younger people, people with a different outlook. However this lack of housing is a major problem for poor and lower middle class people - citizens and noncitizens. Unfortunately rents are a racket in most cities, the real estate business is full of unnumbered accounts and money laundering; Canada is full of organized crime from all over the world, we cant control foreign attempts at killing our citizen. So we can tell our government is not efficient and is doing a poor jobHowever I dont think the average immigrant is the problem and I feel they are treated like rubes by our government and taken advantage of and so are Canadians of different ethnic backgrounds who also suffer the same problems of many immigrants. That's the truth. Letting people in with out providing opportunities for jobs, housing, support is foolish and destructive to our country. Our politicians are selling us down the drain-i.e. all those who are not in the upper middle class or the elites. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!! VOTE FOR CHANGE !

As a Canadian citizen, I’m sorry our lousy government is allowing this illegal immigration into our country and then yours.\nCanadian citizens do not approve of any of this, it’s sadly beyond our control, until the next election.\nOur WEF controlled PM and his cohorts.

Trudeau’s Canada. Rem next time you vote. Immigration at this stage for USA and Canada needs to be a strict process and controlled. The days of unlimited immigration are over. But the process needs to respect the rich history of immigration. A tough situation the current leaders for both countries have proven they can’t handle.

As an immigrant, I believe that the current racial structure of immigrants has destroyed the original structure of Canadian society. In addition, I support economic immigrants who can create and bring consumption and wealth to Canada, and the number of refugees needs to be controlled based on the capacity of Canada’s welfare institutions， shouldnt be unlimited，is crazy.

I've never been conservative or anti-immigration, but the situation is getting out of control. Canada has always been a country of immigrants, but in my country, Poland, that hasn't traditionally been the case. In recent years, the demographic landscape has changed significantly, and it's not just about our Ukrainian neighbors—over a million have arrived since the war. We're also seeing an influx of people from developing countries, many of whom come under false pretenses, enroll in private universities, or attempt to cross our borders illegally to reach Germany. Right now, we're at a loss, and the most frustrating part is that while we need skilled immigrants, we're instead getting unskilled individuals who don't even make an effort to learn the language. This isn't sustainable.

Result of rent control. Keep voting for socialist governments.

Sametime pls control the rent in apartment and building price tooo..Rental should be controlled in control board..Govt should control that also?

You have complete control who you rent to….\nBeware of those grifters that are only here to take advantage.

This is nothing. Wait until Kamala Harris and Tim Walz steal the election and become the puppets of the rhinos. This country is going to become a communist country and our government is going to control everything you do.

Im a english muslim native to the land i have nothing aginst immigration or anyones belifes or ethnicity but i am called a rasict fachist nazi for saying we meed to control illegal immigration being allowed into the uk un checked and they are given money and homes there is no woman and children on these boats i would be the first to help if so they cant speak english they say i know ive spoken to few illegal immigrants they know how to ask how much money you get on benefits then no english are country is ruined

Scapegoating is the right word. The same people complaining about a lack of infrastructure for everyone are the same people who voted for politicians who cut social services and removed rent control. Blame yourselves.

Wow 4 fkin years he been tryna get her out thats ridiculous and they say landlords are outta control

As a Canadian, it's also frustrating because it makes visits to US harder. There is a need for greater control between our border, but not because of the Canadian citizens themselves.

But please remember that the border is under control. And It's not actually happening right now.This is all in our heads in our minds.We don't see what we're saying

It’s all part of the one world order to mix everybody up and ultimately control the masses

We are far too tolerant and\npermissive as a society and it is being seen\nas a weakness by our new arrivals. We have\nlost control of the quantity and quality of\nimmigration and now we are seeing the results

HMMMMMMMMMMMM I wonder why???? What could it possibly be???? I am an immigrant and I can see that immigration is out of control

The biden administration should be charged with treason. kamala is n control of the border .

What do you expects when un controlled immigration coming into your country nd no one is there to take there accountability.

Glad to see Kamala has the border under control

u work on nothing you are controled

Rounding up the sheep. Its going on all over the world. The sheep are easier to control this way. Dont vote for the socialist agenda.

All power NO control

Nice greetings from Germany. 4 years ago you could get a 1 room apartment in the country with 30sqm² for 200-250€ (300-375 Cad), today it costs around 650 € (980 Cad), the reason is exactly the same as yours , mass migration! (usually illegal only) Of course it's not the migrants' fault, no, it's the governments, they control who comes in and out, they have the key to the castle that is overcrowded!

Controlled immigration and development of basic services is the answer to this social tension and anarchy.

So I have suggestions for improvement for both India and Canada \nIndia - Population control bill needed now, strict implementation of anti corruption laws on all whether bureaucrats or politicians, improvement in education at all levels (skill enhancement).\nCanada - A better leadership needed. Trudeau failed miserably. Canada needs to start making it's own stuff now i.e. focus on manufacturing industries and increase in exports, can't rely on US for everything. Pvt players to be introduced in healthcare to lessen the burden of public healthcare. Housing needs better regulations now. And immigration should be merit based (current point system is not bad) but don't give it to everybody like they did during Covid time. Everybody was granted PR despite very low CRS score. And avoid more refugees.

Immigration simply has a low quality control problem and governments are being too generous with immigrants over their actual citizens. Many other countries that do immigration also are suffering similar problems. The problem lies in the government and people with a saviour complex. It's time for people to learn to be realistic again otherwise the country will collapse under from even more problems.

We need for climate change to half the population. Acting as a steam valve for countries with out of control population control is unethical like a drug dealer selling to children.

i used to be proud of our diversity. i’m 41. \nbut starting a year ago. no. it’s just too much. where did all these people and specifically from india come to canada? it’s out of control.

If you travel through Indian villages mainly in Punjab, Mumbai, Delhi and Southern states every KM you will see study/immigrate to Canada. They will tell you it is very easy as you need to spend only INR2.0Million( CAD 35K) to get there and balance you can work there as part time. Majority of Indians coming to Canada is from low income families who want to become middle class in India . High time Canada regulate its student intake and restrict only to selected universities and courses and stop allowing part time work. High skill immigration is still ok as they are coming based on their merit and point threshold and definitely contributing for Canadas economic growth. Student intake must be controlled .

I'm an immigrant in Canada (Since 2003) and I support controlled immigration, last few years have been a disaster. We cant keep bringing in 100s of thousands of people. Stop this insanity.

Honestly I'm an immigrant myself but immigration right now is out of control

Supply and demand period, this is the reason Canada is ruined.. immigration is out of control.

CAN YOU STOP YOURSELF ?!? You & the rest of the majority have become the problem BUT can you become actually reasonable? \n\nCan you help stop this sick & barbaric control & rule scam for an actual reasonable way of life that doesn't harm, corrupt, & do worse to people, especially innocent & helpless children like you once were?\n\nAre you too harmed & corrupted to stop letting & causing harm, corruption, & worse to continue to happen to people & most horribly to innocent & helpless children? \n\nCan you stop yourself & become actually reasonable or even half decent to let actual reasonableness be realized?

Don't worry Kamala has it all under control.

India is not controlling its population thats why we have to come to canada i feel shame for this indian government sorry canadaa

The US should just add Canada and Mexico to its states. It will make border control easier in the future...

You cannot build indefinitely, so to blame only new housing builds is wrong. The truth is: immigration should always be controlled and limited and people vetted for anti-western values.

I really hope we just shut the borders down for a while, country is totally out of control

Do not come to Canada. It's a Dictatorship here!!!! No jobs. No housing. No doctors. Prices ae out of control!

How do you call it scapegoating immigration for the housing shortage? Is it the biggest issue? Yes. You can't increase the population by 8 million people in a decade and not expect it to stretch not only housing but Healthcare as well. It doesn't make you a racist to be upset about that. Sure the infrastructure needed to be increased but that has to be paid for in advance of immigrants coming and with so many people on the poverty line who should pay for that? You make it seem like it's our duty to take in and provide all the services necessary, it's not. If the immigration wasn't so out of control the systems would be able to keep pace and people wouldn't be so upset. So stop gaslighting everyone that is upset with the massive increase in immigration and all the issues it has caused!
