Canada is like what France is to the UK ... France is very happy that the immigrants are crossing the channel ... Not their problem anymore ... They don't want them

Canada was not anti immigration when the people coming were needed, they wanted to contribute, and they understood and assimilated into Canadian culture. Now they come, contributing nothing, straining our health care system, causing a housing crisis, and most importantly, bringing their culture and beliefs, displacing ours. Our veterans that fought for Canada and what being Canadian meant fought for nothing as too many of this current generation has no patriotism and cares nothing about Canadian culture. Thus, we lost our country without a fight.

Im not sure they all want to go to the US. I Mexico right now, people are all wanting to go to Canada over the US. They can live and work easy in Canada, and the economy is strong. Almost as strong as the US. Most Mexicans know this and plan to go to Canada. This is why most immigrants you see coming to the US illegally are not Mexican

We aren’t anti immigrant. Canada has always been a friendly and peaceful country and we have always welcomed immigrants. It’s mass migration that we are opposed too because we don’t have the infrastructure or the money to take care of everybody. We have a housing crisis, a health care crisis and mass migration is making us poorer. We are also concerned about culture clashes which we are already starting to see. Canadians are kind and generous and we want up help others but we understand that if we destroy ourselves we won’t be able to help anyone ever again. \nDo NOT EVER label Canadians anti immigrant!! We are not anti immigrant but we are pro common sense.

Unfortunately new immigrants only want to stay in Toronto.

Immigrants used to come here to become Canadians, now they only want to live in their own country within Canada, with massive concessions and financial support.\nClose door to SE Asia and the Middle East, we have disproportionate numbers here already.\nReficus on Eastern Europe and South American refugees.

Because they don't want to blame their capitalist overlords who love bringing in droves minimum wage slaves. So blaming immigrants is easy target. Thats why

Completely insane that the government wants to reach 100 million people ASAP through brute immigration.\nThey don't care about integration, or national security, they only see these migrants as economic assets they can put to work.\nAnd then they're surprised when people bring up the great replacement, like yeah I don't like racists, but that's literally your policy Trudeau (and Pollievre too).\nThey need an actual open dialogue on immigration before the country ends up like England where every party's in lockstep and anyone with anti-migration is forced into the far-right fringes.

As immigrants, even we want immigration to be slowed down, give some time for social services and housig to catch up.

I don’t understand, immigrants don’t want other immigrants ??‍♂️

if you dont want immigrants then stop destablizing their countries so bad they have to flee their countries

An immigrant country doesn’t want immigrants? ?

zombie companies and greedy capitalists want access cheap labors\nand the immigrants (with the help of government a.k.a capitalists right hand) will provide that\nit's pure market mechanism...

Do you in NYC know why people are invading your city? Recently a New Yorker did a TikTok & screen shot an illegals receipt that showed she was given 13,000 in food stamps & 5,000 cash as an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT! This should piss off every American taxpayer! So, Cash, its not just your shelter system they are exploiting, its other things they are getting while AMERICANS SUFFER! Here is my message to New Yorkers. If you ever want your city to return to any semblence of normality, Trump needs to win our presidential election. Kamala is a communist that believe we should take in everyone & that U.S. taxpayers should support them. You dont have to believe me, just do your own research as the main stream media isnt going to tell you the truth. You can bet that leftist communists are also getting kickbacks. If you believe our border is secure, come on now, are you that gaslit? If we dont kick Kamala out of DC, America & Americans are toast

Also remember that many illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees simply walked from the northern states of the USA across Canada's border into Canada and Canada got stuck with them too. Having to house them and feed them etc because Canada couldn't sent them back because of some international law. These laws allowing anyone to enter someone else's country without being invited or without asking for and receiving the respective countries permission is not right. We all have borders for a reason. Too keep people and things out that we do not want and to keep things inside that we need and treasure. That's the whole point of a country having borders.

Republicans and Trump voted against the bill that would have addressed the immigration problem at the border! Republicans said that they were waiting until Trump is in power to fix this problem. They did not want Democrats to fix it so they can use it in their ampaign to win 2024.

Canada is not allowing new immigrants to Canada soon...so that could be why they're trying to get into the U.S...they don't want anymore new immigrants coming into Canada...and neither do the citizens...

I just want to say thank you for making this video. Very informative and earned a sub from me. Many Canadians are afraid of speaking of truth due to being labelled as a racist or bigot, when really the facts are right there with mass immigration and the influence of foreign landlords. We’re likely getting a new Prime Minister in Fall 2025, but fixing the disaster caused by Trudeau’s policies will be painful and take a really long time.

The solution is simple, just automatically return everyone to their countries unless they prove they come from a country at war or in a civil war. This will discourage the onslaught and dial down the numbers.\n\nPeople wanting to immigrate for economic reason are welcome, if they knock on the door and ask permission first. Fence jumpers need to be put on a transport back home.

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.

This way Dstated Dems want doing .they import immigrant replace voters Usa & keep NYC blue stated. 4 years later 2028 election Dstated Dems unneed Usa voters. Immigrant voted them .look NYC doing .15k in Account & 5k cash .inwhile Usa People homeless nothing not enough buy food gas rent ? anything take shelter of you .wake up Usa

I know all about the immigration crisis at the US/Mexico border but I had no idea they were coming in through Canada. What the hell is going on !? Now Canada has an immigration crisis !? I think I want to move to a different planet? this is getting out of hand. What the hell is wrong with our leaders. It’s like they want an invasion or something?

If I had the apparently unlimited budget that our government has, you could bet I could close the Northern border ... People in this country just want to be too damned nice about it. Applies to the Southern border, as well. Message to the 'immigrants' - there are LEGAL options ... use them!!

When you choose to be a sanctuary city and vote for it, this is what you get. It would be easier on the NY economy if those who wanted a sanctuary city would open their homes to room and board immigrants. Zero chance of that.

Trudeau has been compromised Epstein style, I GUARANTEE it\nhe couldnt stop the mass immigration if he wanted to\nhe's being controlled by hardcore globalist's cabal

As a blk american i am fxxking against it. They can do all this but we still have americans that are homeless, the democrat dont do squat when it comes to the blk american commiunity but they want our votes??? All this money going toward foreign wars and immigrants.

Okay Im not a New Yorker and I do not have a horse in this race I did a little googling on it because I was fascinated. As outlined in the Constitution , the House represents citizens based on district populations, while the Senate represents citizens on an equal state basis. This means flooding New York City with all these illegal immigrants drives up the population and creates moue House votes for the state of New York. Now you may think, no that's citizens, actually it isn't. \nMore than 205,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022. Now while New York's citizen population has been on a slight decline for the last 20 years. While the population is declining make it easier for illegal immigrants to replace those number more quickly. I mean just saying you want to know why this is happening, why the laws are allowing it look at the very basic facts and draw your own conclusions. \nIll keep my own personal opinions to myself as they are theory and nothing I can offer valid proof without them sounding like a conspiracy theory.

I doubt Canada gives 2 shits about American problems.\n\n\nYour solution trading security for immigration help is good,,.if you have a deader that wants to do it.

What I want to know is where are the immigrants going once, they are told to leave the hotels in New York?

Why does the hard left want unfettered immigration?

A lot of the immigrants coming are just middle-class but in other countries. my sister-in-law took in some Venezuelans and all they cared about was visiting New York City to take pictures with the Statue of Liberty. I sell used clothes and my sister-in-law took them to my shop and they did not want the clothes because it was used. These people are ungrateful.

In Canada we are also having an immigration crisis. Our government does not care what the people want or what our future will be. It’s infuriating.

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

Canada doesn't want the immigrants, so they are more than happy to let them through. The only hope NY has is Donald Trump.

Only the US Government can Stop Illegal immigrants, Drug’s and homelessness from entering into America, but the Federal government doesn’t want to stop it. Think about it. Americans will pay dearly..I just want the rich to pay as well..

To the good people of New York, if you want to stop the illegal immigrants to stop invading your state, vote for Republicans. If you continue to vote for democrats the invasion will continue and YOU will pay for it.

Working class and working poor Americans are lazy, slow and don't want to work. When they do they want to get paid too much for someone who has an average or below i.q. Why should rich people & Corporations be extorted when they can hire immigrants much cheaper.

As a legal immigrant working in US on h1b I can’t get citizenship in my life time, thanks for the wait time of h1b…. But these illegal immigrants gets citizenship in a couple of years..most of these are not in terrible situation but just want to get rich… Take care USA vote Trump…!!!

Canada can barely afford to house it’s young people yet they want all these useless immigrants that are under qualified for the work positions they come here for.

Cry me a river. NYC is just doing what the feds want it to do — host illegal immigrants!

In the suburbs outside of Austin TX an illegal immigrant on the top 10 most wanted list was apprehended! ?\nI don't feel like this is my home anymore...This flood of people is getting scary!

Canada just wants to make immigration our problem. They’re not interested in helping a neighbor out

Canadian here, you keep them. House them in Yankee stadium. And I'm a LEGAL immigrant too. This has gotten out of hand and is now insanity. You either have a country, with laws and borders, or you don't. Thanks to the left, Western countries are dying. Lefty politicians want the votes of these invaders, and caters to them instead of actual citizens that love their countries. The word is treason. Thats what the left is now. But they are zombified by the nice fake words.

Welcome migrants thank you for coming we are not all mean jerks that don’t want you. We know statistically all types of immigration only helps the economy. We all are not knee jerk reactionaries that don’t check facts. Welcome.

Canada isn't doing much to secure their side of the border. Mexico doesn't care about the border either. Biden and Border Czar Harris want illegal immigrants. It feels like the America Government and the entire world doesn't care about the rule of law anymore. ...Except citizens with little to no power to do anything about it.

Excellent for Canada…\nWe don’t want anymore immigrants ? either

I've got some even more bad news for you Cash. Our government up here in Canada, has been importing military age couples posing as interior decorators, from China, to the tune of 200,000 a year. This has been going on since 2017 or so. Good natured Canadians believe that these are just people seeking better opportunities for themselves but, since when has any communist country simply allowed thousands of young couples to just leave, because they wanted to? I believe that these immigrants are being sent so that China can pre-position their military units, for the coming battle with the U.S. They have already amassed about a million soldiers up here, waiting for their marching orders. Call me paranoid if you like but, we saw something similar to this in West Germany during the Cold War. Thousands of STASI agents were successfully sluiced in, in a similar way. Remember the population of China is 2 billion or so!

New york city failed so much no space at all any more Canada do not care about it giving visa free they should finger print visitors keep them not allowed crossing places United States of America should not help at all Canadian with army should deal them self Push back united state of America arrest all people send them back home from South and north new york city more immigrants come regular people suffering more than ever you can see on the street who grew up on born in New York City they cannot even get food the more hungry than immigrants immigrants get more money than regular people working at the supermarket even people at disability a shame of New York City the government mayor and the governor in this country corrupt new york city new Yorkers not going to benefit anything $1400 too much People who work killing back neck some get anxiety depression work or people on disability issues have Workers in city $2125 working at supermarket a month some people on disability SSI get $789 to $1055 dollars lower $1159-1400 social security disability working years immediately immigrations $1400 cards free hotel how long going be rich will leave New York City not want to pay taxes middle class people will get pissed money not police Sanitation and parks better to immigrants who cross with papers American dream is flashing to the toilet goodbye

New York wanted to be a sanctuary city, now they don't want the immigrants

The problem is not that immigration is destroying New York but instead New Yorkers voted for and still want this.
