If Justin trudeau died? I would cry.

The US government knows it cannot retain power through the manipulation of the masses. So they are importing their voters from other countries to replace us and grant them citizenship and welfare in hopes that these concessions will grant them votes in their favor. If a bill passed tomorrow, making such corruption a federal offense, you would see just how many politicians would vehemently oppose it, and we would know who the enemies of the people are.

Well Canada has had hundreds of thousands of illegals invade Canada coming in from the US, usually through the Ontario borders. Glad you get to take a few of them back. I wonder if they would welcome a senior Canadian in a sanctuary city? Seems like they get to live far better than either US seniors OR Canadian seniors

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.

?Blame Canada? \n\nRobin Williams would agree too.

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 !!!!

can we secede from NY? i would vote yes. put CA in there as well

If i were a Canadian how would i get into the usa as a migrant?

And here I was, wanting to do Uber Eats in Manhattan again. I bet my bike would be stolen every day. Even though it's not even possible.

what happened to that wall Trump said Mexico would pay for????????

IF that Unqualified Political Hack Extraordinaire is Elected ( God Forbid ) you can look for this in virtually EVERY Town and Major City in America. And the Mind Boggling part; people will actually Vote for that Anti American Marxist. LOOK at the hideous Policies she would implement.

Governments and cartels working together. Who would have known ?

Only an Idiot would vote for Trudeau or Harris.

It's not that Canada doesn't care. It's that Justin Trudeau and the woke left don't care. If we elected a conservative government thia madness would end.

you used to do luxury apartment tours Cash, you would think Batman would step in by now in NYC so you could go back to your normal videos.

Stop voting for Democrats who are pushing this agenda! Harris backs this and she said, she would let more in here and put them all on our benefits we receive

Oh boy, free houses free healthcare, and free money yippee. Thank you, taxpayers, why would I ever leave

Who would have thought, right?

This is BS! We need to lock the borders and take care of our own people first. I feel for them. I really, really do. I would try too if I were in their situation. We can't afford it.

Your country keeps entering their nose in other countries business just hear your south comander if the USA stops intruding in the business of the other countries probably that border crisis would exist cause if your country is good why would you want to go to another

Wow who would have thought that offering luxury hotels to illegals would never incentivize MORE of the same to come.

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

I think a lot of Americans either forgot or didn't know that a few yrs ago illegals were pouring into Canada from US from Vermont. Roxam Rd in Quebec was their landing spot. Taxis in US made a fortune taking them to the border there where they crossed into Can and were greeted by RCMP acting as baggage carriers, loading these ppl unto busses and driving them to $50.00 a day hotels. Neither Canadain or American govt did anything to stop this. Ppl died out west crossing through the woods in dead of winter in the bitter cold. Both Canada and US are very proud of our unprotected border but if the law on both sides would have nipped this in the bud both countries would not have ended up in such a mess.

I guess they are not Canadian citizens either. Why would any sane Canadian citizen want to go to the USA? Make no sense. There are way more cons than benefits for a Canadian to go to the USA.

The blame falls on the American people who stand by and ignor the problem and just complain about it. Treat these ILLEGALS just as you would be treated if you went illegaly into their Country. Don't vote, or keep voting the way you have been, and it will get worse.

It sounds tempting,\nI get four star hotel,,food payed for,, free TV ( human rights)\nClothes, and a debit card loaded,,\nI have respect for America, I have always have,,\nI would learn to loose that,,\nI will be given an apartment,,, monthly income,,\nAnd go robbing stores for entertainment ( I get it,as long as I don't steal a thousand dollars, I just get told naughty boy)\nGod bless America ( my god, not their infidel one)\n,,, hold the door,, I am on my way.

This would all stop if all the free benefits stopped. It used to be you need a sponsor, had a job lined up & spoke English.

They trying to pile them in for the election it won’t work because they would have to replace every voting American but I guess they know AA not going to vote like they use to.

20k a month.. I would run across the border. We will all be homeless while they give them our homes.

Now tell me again why New Yorkers are not protesting at the Governor's mansion or the Mayor's office? They tell the media that they are sick of these illegals and afraid of them but refuse to go the source enabling them to enter. To be silent is to be complicit. You don't see hundreds of buses here in Florida pulling up with these illegals because we would burn these damn shelters down! You are not going to use our tax dollars to feed, clothe and house full grown men when we have residents who are struggling seeking the same help and are being denied! They seek out New York to get free everything! Some of these illegals have shot at the police, assaulted the police, stabbed and killed other illegals, snatched handbags and stolen merchandise. The crime will only get worst because there is now a large amount of unvetted illegals in the state and they keep coming by the thousands.

In the 1990s, when we traveled up to Blaine, WA we would take the children to Peace Arch Park and let them play. My son, (around 5 or 6 yo) would do a Bart Simpson where the border was and hop on one foot then switch to the other foot back and forth saying U.S.......Canada.....U.S. .......Canada. While they were playing I would on occasion see a male with a back pack crossing from one country to another. Can only imagine it now. Those poor people who live in Blaine.

Different laws for citizens, migrants and politicians. It sure would be nice if there was only one set of laws.

Cash , has tourism gone down there in NY. I grew up in Pocono area. Az now. So was wondering if people (tourism) maybe just stopped going. I would think it would hurt the city. So if that's would harm the city. STAND UP AND STOP GOING!

What y’all do not understand, the bud drivers, boarder patrol and the people of the USA , DONT CARE!!\n\n If any employee or citizens cared , they would not drive, let them in or sit in you house.\n Done

I would be *VERY* interested in seeing Cash's voting history since he moved to NYC (once it was safe for him to do so). I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that he was part of the problem.

Incorrect - just a basic google search would have told you Mexicans need a Visa to enter Canada as of February this year. Effective 11:30 PM EST on February 29, 2024, Mexican nationals will no longer be able to benefit from visa-free travel to Canada. All Mexican nationals will now require a temporary resident visa (“visa”), unless they meet the eligibility criteria for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

4 years ago, I predicted that Biden would let millions of illegal immigrants enter the United States. His purpose was to bring as many as possible future prospective voters in then pardon them. Biden successfully changes American political map while completely destroys the American democratic electoral system and American society!

I’m in Canada for 2 years now and I’m returning back home . \n\nI will not tell anyone not to come, diaspora can transform your mindset for good. I dint struggle getting a job. I did a customer service job and an admin assistant job. \n\nHowever, this system is a dangerous. It’s a system whose work is to put you in debt, through the famous credit score. If you put yourself in this system, kurudi home itakuwa ngumu. You are also just one paycheck away from being homeless. \n\nCost of living is overly high. You work for bills. Some people get subsidized housing, but those housing are not the best places you would want to live. Mostly in poor neighborhoods and neglected. \n\nI came here and took myself back to school. One of the programs I did was an eye opener Leaderahip program. It gave me a glimpse of who I am and what potential I carry. And boom, I realized this is not my place. My life is not just about working and paying bills, it’s more. And this more can only grow home. Otherwise I will keep working with slow growth in employment, and come back home when I can’t live my full potential \n\n\nIf you have to, leave, come to Canada. Exposure is worthwhile. Make sure you take a technical course, avoid debts. Go back home and grow with your country. \n\nKenya is our Canaan.

Cash we would love to see you pretend to be a migrant, go through the process and get a hotel/money!!!! Do it bro!!!!

Their home countries aren't being destroyed and they're not being persecuted. The just don't want to fix the shit-holes they come from and would rather take advantage of the instant welfare they get, for they never plan on getting employment here. If anyone is being destroyed and persecuted it is us.

Now watch us get gaslit about these people voting in November, would bet my entire paycheck they will.

49% are people.using the mexican burder I am suprised. I thought it would be higher. But it makes sense you have Red Republicans like texas pushing back. I to would fly to Canada and come through the top.

So why isn't kamala doing anything about this?! Her campaign adds claim she's done so much and will do so much about the border, all lies! If she really cared she would have already proved it!

so, why would anyone right now go through immigration processes, when anyone, ANYONE, can just cross boarder to NY and demand all this free provided stuff. \nlet go people, let make usa government regret severely their stupid decisions

I would imagine people used the same reason to not worry that should’ve applied to the UK. Refugees have to travel THROUGH a safe country to claim Asylum ?

Canada got more than 3 times that number crossing our border into Canada from New York and your mayor foot the bill for that. Now I know you said no takes backsies but we don't won't them and would you kindly come and pick up the rest of them. Be a good neighbour and stop dumping your trash on our lawn?

Complaining about Canada's policies and how they impact the US overlooks the parallel behavior in which NYC is sticking it to the rest of the US for God-only-knows what reasons. If NYC didn't want to be the new Ellis Island - With-Benefits, it would immediately end its sanctuary and soft on crime BS.

The Gimmegrants are coming here to suck up our educational resources for their children. The Gimmegrants are coming here to suck up the medical resources for themselves. The Gimmegrants are coming to drive down wages for the working class. So tell me, why would any American think this is a good idea.

If all immigrants went back home (especially back to Europe), the USA would be empty

The America most of us have known, defended and loved can't be saved. It's doomed. The liberal rot has infected the brains of millions of American citizens and turned them into fairy dust believers who just want to feel good emotionally for the moment and can't comprehend the immigration rule of law was created to vet incomers just like the do gooders would do in their own houses.
