The lack of empathy in this chat is so toxic, and really makes me sad about “The American Way”. Why is it freedom and our duty to save people in other countries when it comes to participating in a war, but when the mothers and children come knocking at our door. Crying in need, we easily dissociate. Where’s the savior complex we had in all the other wars in other countries? We reap what we sow. Remember these people and their situation, because I really think we might be in the same boat some day.

We all know none of us who might have a negative say on what we see but at the same time none of us chose to be where we are, just imagine if its you right there and they are the ones on this side saying all the negative things. I just feel sorry and I hope there ways we can help settle the problems they face.

100% with you. It’s the liberal government and especially CBC and other media that are pushing a far left ideology. It’s destroying everything that make the country work.\nThe taxing rate is destroying the economy. You are left with half your income, out of that you get taxed 15% on expense and if you buy expert (plumber, carpenter) they too loose half of it. This is destroying the productive free economy. It’s at a point it might collapse.\n\nIf we want to save Canada we have to vote conservative and return to the value that work, freedom, low taxes, small government.

So shooting a bunch of guns might deter some of this activity

The president might as well go home and sleep he runs our country like he’s dead.

You might not like how things look, but letting people have a better life is the right thing to do. Just make it happen.

It might be a good idea to take Venezuelans because they’re fleeing communism and the west is increasingly pushing for it.

Hispanic people have just as much right to be in America as anyone else \nYeah there's not a government on Earth that would after your attempt to force your way through the border like that not make you answer before it a nation doesn't have to explain itself for protecting its border but you got to you got to go through channels it might be unpleasant but I don't feel like people are from Mexico have any less right than anyone else to come here my ancestors came over Ellis Island you know it's it's just a matter of going through the process

Maybe we should have taken out Maduro. He's evil, he's not a democrat, he's not even a socialist. A socialist would not be involved in robbery of the state oil company! He's a disgusting mafioso crook just like the villains in charge of Cuba. Did you know that Cuban officials run an expensive airline service to Nicaragua that is the only path out of the country on the highway to the US. The officials know that desperate Cubans will sell their only home which very likely was bought by relatives abroad scraping together money to send to their family. I am usually very much against war... but gosh darn if we could just take out true tyrants without invading the whole place, it might in some rare circumstances be a gift rather than a grift.

While I sympathize towards those who really need help, there will come a point where Canada can't just take in all these people. The system will be overwhelmed and there might be negative changes in the country with too much people... if we do take in all these people, there has to be really good support for them so they can assimilate into the Canadian culture and work better lives so they won't be a burden...

If you’re not raised in Canadian winter you might not realize how important participating in winter sports are.

Why not protest like this in their OWN country!! It makes zero sense. Fight for your rights and your children's rights just like Americans had to do many years ago. And might have to do again. They Wana reap all the benefits without doing anything

Food standards is also different, going to the us being a Canadian food tastes much more artificial but that might just be me.

Why not use Government might against illegal activity…. Oh is government might only used toward Black ppl??? ?‍♀️

I thought the press secretary and Biden and all his minions kept saying that the border is not open. That's a very good picture to put up and just call him a d*** liar cause that's what he is no I've said my piece I could say a lot more but I might get thrown off of YouTube At least they don't have a Facebook deal to put me in.

This is pure lawlessness entering.\nYou might as well open the doors & cages of every zoo and let all the animals run freely throughout your city because this is no different. Do these people look like they're coming to follow any laws of any country? Then literally breaking the laws upon entering this way and they're coming with nothing to offer only their hands out to receive whatever they think that they're entitled to. What country do you know what allows is? And have the ability to take care of all of these damn people before they even take care of their own who are living in the streets? America will not be able to recover from the stupidity this current Administration

I realize a lot of people do not understand the world. As first generation American, i can say, 90% of Americans do not cherish their freedom. As i see everything unfold, i realize we might be next to be taken over. I don’t know if y’all would flee or what. China and Russia aren’t using us currency so we can’t monitor their spending. It’s not rocket science to realize what they want.

We and human rights always blame other countries for not giving refuge,but why don't they help the countries with problems to stand on their own ,be incorruptible,self sufficient so that the people might not have to flee

Some of these people might be worthwhile.\n\nI really hope that the integration of these people to the American culture works better than how it did in my country, Chile where they definitely had more of a negative impact as they brought more issues % wise than benefits.

President Biden might want to put together a task force made up primarily of those from border states and those with large immigrant populations. The task force can be requested to make an up-to-date assessment with our successes and failures, a new list of goals with steps to get there, as well as new ideas to try out on current problems, while suggesting new policies and government procedures. Whatever we're doing it just isn't working anymore so we must do better. Immediately, please.

I mean this is sad and I feel for them, however most people in this case would blame Americans or American govt. we have a lot of our own problems as well. These people are going through something but why? But why are they even going through it in the first place. Foreign govts are fked and corrupt but you are still subject to laws of OUR govt no one likes it when people just run into your house without being invited regardless of the situation. This is not a good look for foreigners trying to come through at all even though their situation might be bad doesn’t automatically mean it’s our duty to take care of it

How are they all militant without any weapons in hand trying to cross the boarder ?Funny enough the people who stormed the capital in January weren’t Militant and they were ready to lynch people and carried all types of weapons. These people are desperately looking for better lives . The shouldn’t need to go in illegally but if there was transparent policy where they can go through proper process without being criminalized legally applying for asylum and locked in concentration camps waiting for verdict without right if speech or to get a lawyer a lot of people wouldn’t need to cross illegally. Not even speaking of the necropoltics in immigration laws and how the system plays on peoples emotions with these moral panics and media narratives. It’s really sad . They are better off going to Canada or Europe honestly . They might not be militants over there

Crazy that Venezuelan migrants who may actually face persecution from their socialist leader are not permitted but everyone else is ok. Could it be because they might be anti socialism?

The same way the US has their nose in all things going on in Europe, it might be time to start taking care of business in their own side of the planet.

They might as well go back to Venezuela or stay in Mexico cuz the US isn't going to be any better than Venezuela petty soon?

LET THEM IN!! America is stolen land anyway!!! They keep calling us African Americans knowing full well many of our ancestors were already here before the slave ships ever touched a dock!!! This is NOT their land and might I add all of southwest America was once Mexico!!!

Well said Saleeha. Fair and balanced. It’s up to the person to decide what suits him. I am considering a move to Canada from the U. Is my circumstances. It might be the opposite for others.

Might as well let them come, hell white ppl did the same thing

Angela does not have to prove anything to anyone her relationship between her and God is hearing God's business she don't have to prove that to her mama who seems to be super toxic she needs to get her life together she might not have a tattoo on her but but she got a lot of other issues she need to ask Jesus to help her with

Hahaha If they only knew how bad it really is here in Canada. They might not want to come here anymore. Wonder if they know that there going to turn your boys into girls into boys.

Psh you might be better off is Mexico….

This is a planned invasion. Ever wonder how many foreign nationals are in there?\nNone of them look like they just traveled hundreds of miles and are hungry, thirsty or in need of medical assistance.\nGet your head out of your rectum if you think this is good for our country.\nHang onto your hats folks, it might get ugly.

You know if you shoot the ground and show you're serious they might stop but I'm sure the media wouldn't approve

Believe it not the U.S. and other countries are partly to blame for this, with the help of corrupt officials in these South American countries. Mexico has invested 100 million dollars in South America creating jobs and helping small businesses, so people have jobs and don’t have the need to leave their countries. Mexico ask the U.S. to at least match that amount and it refuse. You might argue that that’s not the United States problem, well it’s not Mexico’s either but everybody has to help. Especially when you are going down there opening mines and displacing farmers .

My wife and I have a dream to buy a house one day, even though we both work full time I'm afraid that dream might never come true. I get how these people feel!

I get mexico might be messed up but stand up and be a voice for your country ...

I don't care how bad USA might be, it ain't worse than Canada and anyone who would move there is out of their mind.

Funny look up and see how Russia deals with illeagal immigrants rest of the world might learn something

About time, come on in boys! We got plenty of space and plenty of jobs, (Despite what some idiots might tell you) \n\nWelcome to America! ??

Keep them the hell out of the United States at all cost. Bring the fire trucks in with the pressurized hoses, smoke grenades, pepper cannons wait they might like that, anything to keep them the hell out of here. We have enough problems the next thing we need is more immigrants sponging on this country.

I feel sorry for these people but at the same time they’re country’s need to get there fucking act together. This war torn 3rd world crap can go on no longer. People call the u.s the u.k etc war mongers? Well take a look at this right now. We have tried over the years to put your country’s straight but you didn’t want that help. Same here in the uk we get flooded with Africans and Middle Easterns. Change your country’s and turn them into democracy’s ! Get rid of your backwards medieval ways and maybe your country’s might be atleast better and safe places to live.

All of my family did it the right way , it might have taken them 7-8 years due to the process but you can’t skip steps, smh sad to see.

I live next to a drop off destination for Joe Biden's migrants. I would have to say they appear to be victims of the Democrat party, in that, like many other groups of people they have been lied to or given false hopes of success or prosperity. It is evident every morning when about thirty men gather in groups awaiting, perhaps a local contractor, to drive up and offer them a few hours of work, digging a hole or some other menial task. We also now have these corner Hey Cocos fruit stands where another of Joe's migrants sits for hours, making a couple bucks, at best, and a few more for whoever owns the cart and provides the fruit. I can only imagine where all these men must be sleeping at night, who might be paying for their space on a garage floor. Their only relief comes from gathering at the park across the street to use the barbecues and tables, and share a meal. For some the meal leads to beer and drunkenness. I watched the police send five of them back to the garage since they were all in a car drinking, even an open alcohol container in CA is illegal. If I were one of them I would have been arrested, but these lucky Biden immigrants were simply told to walk away. I hope the police at least impounded the car. Ten o'clock on a Sunday morning, people jogging, people walking their dogs, unaware of Joe Biden's guys, ready to drive away in drunken bliss. Thank you Joe. Thank you Democrats, you have created another group of dependents at least you can give them free health-care, I suppose that's one way to say they have improved their lives by coming here.

Had we ever wonder way are they running from there country wat really happening way so many people escaping or something else is coming wat it is hoping that we don't go the same way or might end up like them ???

Might as well let them in, it's already been overrun. The culture that made America strong has been diluted. These people bring the problems that they are trying to get away from.

This is right wing propaganda. Clearly you can see with your own eyes there are no problems at the boarder. I even saw a Unicorn with a Jesus only loves democrats shirt on, so obviously this proves there is no crisis and jesus hates republicans. CNN and MSNBC might be reporting that now.

If it takes any longer than 2 to 3 years who ever is doing you paperwork is screwing you over. You might want to look at changing lawyers.

Idk when this happened but my guess would be that they're escaping a country that might head into a warzone soon

Somebody must explain to them I might be better to stay home and fight then trying to be a burden on a whole country that owes them nothing
