Let fix America first...lot of homeless people are there.. thriving to afford one day meal?

Yea like we want all those screaming, jobless, homeless, hyped up people here in our streets. There’s already wayyy too many of them.

I’m not even mad at Trump only thing I agree with him on is immigration I stay in LA and I’ve been homeless for like three weeks I went to the LA mission they do not take single individuals they only take families that are illegal immigrants how is that fair Most of the people are from Venezuela and I know they need help but what about me a US citizen One of the ladies who work there Also was Telling me they are helping them with housing low income housing I’m like man

Don’t come to this country thinking the grass will be greener. You all will suffer here and treated like crap. The American dream has become the worse nightmare even for citizens of the country. Many homeless and mentally ill people that get no assistance plus crime everywhere. Don’t waste your lives here.

Colombia wouldn't pay diddly it would be Americans, period. Tariffs, historically, don't work because the citizens pay them on any goods that come from that country. Colombian coffee is really good btw. We got people with no health coverage, homelessness rising, housing unaffordable to most, on and on, what is this administration doing for that?! Nadda, and won't, cause they don't care, want to know what Trump cares about, look at who had the best seats in the house at his inauguration, front row. It isn't coincidence.

All this illegal immigrant mess has to stop. My question is.. why we do not take care of our homeless people, our veterans, the drug issue, mental health in our country and we let the other countries resolve their issues. We cannot use our tax dollars to fix other peoples problems we have our own. CNN, MNSN are so ridiculous and indecent with Americans.!! Why i dont see images of all the homeless people sleeping in the subway.. i guess there are no shelters, debit cars and meals for them!! Ahh and before you said anything im a Venezuelan legal migrant now proud american!!

They need to stop this now We have our own problems here kids veterans and homeless We do not take care of our own , I am a widow i can't even eat and these people get everything

Oh boy! How many other people in the U.S. are looking forward to being homeless and reading by candlelight?! Because I'm not.

Not the responsibility of struggling Americans to take care of other countries or people fleeing from them. We are not their slaves. We have enough homeless already and not enough homes and the last thing we need to do is destroy more land to make more cities for all these immigrants. More cities means more polution, no way around it. We cant absorb the whole world and we're already past the point of living in balance with the llanet naturally.

THIS IS INSANE. WE DO NOT NEED THIS IN OUR COUNTRY WHEN WE HAVE SO MANY HOMELESS AMERICANS TO DEAL WITH. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO BREAK OUR LAWS TO GET IN THE COUNTY.... THEY WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO BREAK THEM ONCE THEY ARE HERE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND OBVIOUSLY LIVE IN A PLACE THAT IS TERRIBLE ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM RUSH OUR BORDERS HOWEVER... THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE... ALSO WE KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RELEASE OF THE PRISONS IN THOSE SOUTH AMERICAN AND CENTRAL AMERICAN PRISONS WHERE THEY TOLD THE PRISONERS AND MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS IN THOSE COUNTRIES THAT IF THEY CAN GET ACROSS THE AMERICAN BORDER THEY WILL BE FREE AND THEY WERE SHIPPED TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER AND GIVEN FREE SHOT AT A LIFE IN AMERICA AND NOT IN PRISON.... WHAT WOULD YOU DO???? YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET ACROSS THAT BORDER ALSO

I wonder if they thought about where they would live, or how will they support themselves. The United States an afford to house and feed them. This country has enough homeless people, and people on public assistance.

Ive driven by a dozen homeless people and all i ever get is a sign asking for a coin or maybe they ask softly for money, this is like a child who is tired of their parents saying no for the first time. shame

All you people saying shit about homeless americans about 80% of yall wouldnt let someone move into your crib or give 100 dollars to someone just to help. So shut up

I really wished all these people that fight so hard for all these ILLEGAL immigrants would fight for our US citizens too like homeless vets or homeless in general or the everyday person

It just goes to show they shouldn’t be here illegally. Why would we want criminals here when we already are dealing with our own issues in the US. Why the violence towards the US officers on the border if they’re fleeing their country why behave like this they just wanted the free handouts at Americans expense. I don’t know how the government thought this was OK to have all the people come over here illegally and pay for everything when there are homeless veterans and children that are US citizens. Take care of home first.

Well, Trump is getting ready to kick out the ones already here. We really don't have the means to take care of them. We have homeless people from fires in our own country. Didn't want to list all our problems. But please retreat and go hack home.

yep issue here is housing, to many people coming in not enough housing that is affordable for Immigrates and Canadians which has cause a rise in Homeless, lack of job increases and failure for new businesses to start up, low spending doesnt help it, low income less money going out, less sales. It been very unbalanced.

Its not just an employer issue though, these corporations see dollars, the rest of us see taxes, overflowing school,s lack of teachers, lack of translation supports, lack of hospital systems, lack of housing , food bank runs as wages cannot support cost of living, homelessness crime and drug use. Disruption of neighbourhoods with 10-15 people piling into suburban homes and messing it up. They should not be here until the foundations are set. What new infrastructure is planned by these departments and on whose bill? Is it started yet as constructions are 5 years out . There is literally no long term joint plan here , just hoard type mentality. A failure at all levels of join thinkng in this government. And now its gonna get worse.

I hope Trump arms every single one of those border agents and gives them all immunity if they need to use them. I am sick of this. We have plenty of homeless and sick people here that the government cares less about. I hope Biden rots in hell.

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money

Canadians have been left behind by their own country in favour of Indians. Canada as we know it is done, it is in severe decline and the quality of life of all Canadians has suffered from this influx. At old age homes, Canadians are being passed up and made homeless in favour of new immigrants (all Indians), all low income jobs have been taken by Indians, locals youth can't get jobs. Indians are super racist towards white or latino people (like me), and they are not taking up Canadian customs and manners. Canada is being ruined by Indians. Canadians have been left behind. 1 in 6 people globally are indian. Their breeding is out of control, and they ALL want to come here for free healthcare, hand outs and fresh water. I mean, look what they've done to India, Canada is next. It is all ready in severe decline, and quality of life is at the lowest ever because of this.

Who has led these people to believe that they have a right to our homeland and resources? We have too many now, can’t take any more, in fact, some will even have to leave depending on how they behaved. We have starving and homeless Americans right now and they’re consuming resources without having paid taxes or earned the right. That’s it, stop the invasion. No more. Fix your countries, you can’t come here.

Out of control immigration drives up the cost to buy and rent houses, same issue here in Australia.\nWe can't builld enough houses in Australia to meet the demand. Many building companies went out of business when the price of materials increased but their contract price couldn't.\nCashed up immigrants who can afford higher prices effectively drive locals away from places to live. Homelessness is increasing in Australia.\nThe government then tries to build more social housing and pays the builders higher prices than a person building a private house can afford, which continues to increase the construction cost spiral. We now have $1M+ houses being built for people on welfare who only have to pay a maximum of 25% of their income, and that income is given to them by the government. People are better off being unemployed and living off government benefits and housing than to have a job paying less than $100k/yr.

Most of this people are not saying we running from war.\nThey all want better life.\n\nWhy not do it legally. \nSome have waited years and you all get it the easy way.\nIs unfair to those who applied legally.\n\nAlso can the USA take all this people?\nLoads of homelessness and unemployment in the USA due to unfair wages.\n\nSomething has to be sorted out ASAP. \n\nYou will embrace Mexicans because they are your citizens.\nIf all this countries create jobs and work for it people, none of them will be in another country illegally. \n\nIs a shame.

Definitely fair stop it day one not raisist but rather a reset. These folks need to realize the fast lane is closed now you will have to do it like everyone else is waiting years and longer. Mexicans force the jobs to be cheap being the rates down way down not just in America but in Canada making the Americans and Canadians homeless job less the last 10 years was a big blow to so many people but no one is talking about it. Deport reset restructure point blank.

Canada has no housing, no jobs and no doctors. Too many immigrants are destroying the country. Too many people too quickly. Now the cost of living is unaffordable, homeless people are everywhere, crime wave, drug epidemic. We don’t have the ability to accept more people there’s nowhere for you to live. I suggest you stay home. Please stop destroying our country.

What is a Dollar Drain -\nImagine 10 people with $10 each and each have a mutually exclusive but essential skills. Suppose, one is a cobbler and one of them is a washerman. Now, the washerman just washed a cloth for $2 and out of his earnings he sent back 1 dollar to his own country. He followed this rule for 10 times. Now the room has $90 left. Now, the price for services goes down since everyone except one has less money. Due to non profitability, cobbler leaves the room. Now, washerman brings another person from his country for the same job. This time price of the service is 1 dollar and both collectively sends 1 dollar from their earnings to their own country. This cycle continues for 10 times. Now, the room has 80 dollar left. \nOne more worker left the room while cobbler became homeless. \n\nNow you know why America is destined to fail.

Thank God for our Us Border patrol and thank God for Trump. I don’t understand why these people don’t fight this hard to change their own government. Everyone wants to come here and get a free ride off of the taxes that we pay. What about our homeless and hungry,they should be taken care of first!!!!! I have a heart, but do it the right now. God watch over our country,we need you Lord to stop this madness?

It's straight up frustration with our puppet prime minister. He's doing what the WEF & Dr scratchnsniff tells him to. Flooding a country with immigrants has increased homelessness & made getting a job impossible. Even more impossible is getting ahead financially. Indian people are coming over in droves, led by the lie that everything is better in Canada, and they're not adopting the Canadian culture & integrating unhealthy aspects of their third world culture. It also doesn't help that the only political figure who can help fix the problem is also East Indian but refuses to do anything because he doesn't want to lose his pension.\n\nWho i really feel bad for are the Indians who have lived here & integrated into the culture and feel like they're guilty by association. \n\nIf the Indian people were more adept to adopting the Canadian culture, the momentum shift would be insane.

Can you break down the west coast cause holy moly, i feel like i live in india not Canada!!! My apt building is filling up with immigrants, all the whites are moving out as the landlord is letting our building turn into a slum, whenever i call, he is in India, he has not fixed a damn thing and as white people move out, he does not clean the apt between people, he let's them move in with other people's garbage, he did that to me and when i complained he asked for the keys back, he is also doubling the rent of the new immigrants. Why is it true Canadians are becoming homeless...i don't see any Indians living on the street at all!! They are causing rent to be unaffordable for us...... they own the stores and are in control of pricing... we are f*cked....i am not being racist as i have wonderful Indian friends who i adore but it is too unbalanced, people are getting angrier and blaming all of them as a whole...... if they live in Canada, why don't they speak English then?? We can't communicate and they don't even try.... if i went to india i would have to learn their language, right?!!!

Canada used to hire multicultural but Indians get management positions then only hire the same culture our people are becoming homeless because of these unfair hiring practices they want people who speak Hindi it needs to stop we need new laws to bring back multicultural hiring these people are like a trojan horse trying to take over

I never see Indians or asian people begging for money , they are not homeless or self induced drug addicts , most of the immigrants pull their own weight , quit whining about how they dont belong here ,they didnt come here and kill the natives pillage and plunder the resourses, we learned absolutely nothing ( Europeans) coming from Europe , kill the natives and steal the land , oh so charming ,your proud of that ? On a positive note we in Canada didnt enslave the black people,we do welcome people who have no where to live had there homes bombed blown up family and friends killed . You get the point . I lot of immigrants open up there own buisnesses maybe some are jealous of their prosperity?

They are crying to get in, with kids in tow. But once in, they repeatedly spit on the Americans and constantly laugh at them as they are receiving free welfare, hotel, insurance, food, etc, (they even post videos on the same). while the Americans are homeless and cannot even receive any help from their own government. Those people do not look hungry; most are just laughing as if going on vacation.

He's trying to rip the guy off and it's probly not the first time...like they should all be deported or have to switch places with the homeless and start from the bottom like the rest of us legislated into poverty. The guy keeps raising my rent and trying to get my banking information in my own country...its ok to rip people off but it's not now to expose it. It's not even ok to be treaty from the natural lands in my own country we get genocide

We need immigration what is wrong with our politicians they sit there high and mighty and tear people lives apart we need more health care workers more workers in the hospitable business are crying for help there is help signs every where help with housing by building smaller homes getting people out of homeless and more people working in our health care and all kinds of jobs in this country so totally disgusted with this country blaming ever thing on immigration

When my daughter was 10 or 11, I took her and two of her friends to Vancouver for a day's adventure. I had an agenda the girls were not aware of but the friend's parents were. We started out in China Town and then worked our way to East Hastings where the druggies, drugged prostitutes, mentally ill, and homeless congregate. As we walked thru this mass of people on our way to Gastown I felt the kids wrapping themselves around me. All 3 of them were silent with very worried eyes. We then went to lunch and discussed what we had just seen. The girls are now 39 years old and still remember this adventure and still talk about how it impacted them.

I’ve worked all my life, I raise 2 children by myself, worked as a nurse for 41years. Never asked the government for anything. These people forced themselves into this country, and expect to be served by the government, demanding all this rights, they have not earned. Many American citizens are homeless and have not received the help they need yet. And these so called refugees expect to be treated with respect, and don’t like the help given to them, because it’s not what they deserve. Well to bad; they need to go back where they came from and, stay there.

Our country was founded on revolution.We didn't like the oppression of the English we overthrew them and created our country.... These dysfunctional countries people should do the same... It is not America's job to take care of the world... I feel sorry for these people , but we have our own citizens who are homeless and hungry...

Canadian homeless people first....

For people who are starving and homeless they sure have a lot of energy..lol

Thank you Harris for helping the people of the UNITED STATES\nI know the homeless of the UNITED STATES REALLY APPRECIATE IT

Are you kidding me. Are you not in Canada right now. Canada is now the most poor country in the World. Immigration has gone to the roof. No housing. Rents and forget about buying a house in BC, AB, Quebec, Ontario. High unemployment, Inflation is high and going up more. We also do not have a military defense system and the U.S. is tired of Canada not spending money to meet their responsibility as a Nato country. Many Canadians are leaving the country permanent. Investors and businesses are pulling out. Canada is trillions in debt but keep printing more money (toilet paper). Canada has gone downhill significantly over the past ten years. Born Canadians and legit immigrants having to go through a rigorous immigration process are very unhappy and cause conflict. Besides all the different ethnicities cause unrest and are ungrateful, daring the burn the Canadian flag, uttering death to Canada, death the US and Israel. These trouble makers have not intentions to assimilate into Canada's culture and are disrespectful to the Canadian government and it's citizens. Our youth are very unhappy and do not see a future for themselves yet have to work very hard and pay unbelievable high taxes. The minimum wages are only 15 bucks an hour which cannot sustain life here in this country. Please stop making false promises to foreigners to come here and be disappointed. This is not a country of milk and honey any longer but poor and enormous homelessness. Hunger, terrible health care, incredible post secondary tuitions and books. Now that president Trump has won the election he is going to place tariffs on Canadian goods and rightfully so. Russia is very interested in the Antarctica and should they or anyone invade Canada we got 3 days of ammunition. The food in AB is very bad for your health. Everything has pesticides, hormones, and by the time fruit and vegies arrive here from the US all the nutrition have gone. A extremely high cancer rate, young and old, diabetes, depression and other mental disorders are rampant. Our children and grandchildren do not have a future so why bother going to school or work. Our kids live on the streets, shelters, camping in the woods and using fentanyl and meth all kinds of dangerous drugs. The cities and small towns are full of used needles, pipes, and more paraphelia just thrown on the trails everywhere. The US will not assist Canada when a possible War 3 will occur, and we the people of Canada and the land are easy prey. If you do not believe me, just come visit RED Deer shelters and walk around on the trails, go to Vancouver but becareful because random assaults are happening every day, people living in tents, using the streets as toilets, drugs galore, even the police is unable to act nor arrest criminal activities caused by desperate people who need to survive. Canada's economy is about to collapse and fall into a recession. We have too many people coming in our country without checking their back ground and many criminals and terrorist groups are entering declaring refugee status whether it is true or not, we do not know. The people of Canada who work and pay highest taxes are used to house these newcomers and education, jobs, food and money. Our government take better care of these illegal people than their own people especially our youth. So please let us not pretend Canada is a land of opportunity and great. We have to vote for the right leader who will have a very difficult time and challenges to overcome if at all possible and make Canada Great Again!

This is wrong allegation of political issues. There is no such issues.Punjab and Gujrat infact one of the richest province in India. Only people who are less educated and greedy leaving for these countries. Because of their neighbour or relatives moved to US n Canada in 70' 80s and they want to move by hook or crook. Infact you will hardly find any homelessness people in this province. Last yr a Man from Gujrat died with wife and 2 young children while illegally crossing border crossing. He was doing good financially.

America empire is falling.. They only can bully people in the Caribbean and central America.. Stand up Mexico.. American is filthy with homelessness and drug addicts on the streets .. That's not the beautiful America..The people are lovely but their governments are evil to the world..

You can find illegal India people with temporary Visas at 7 11 stores working at gas ⛽ stations too in America or bringing females from India so business men can use them for india sex for other men. Some already have been caught. . In India 18 million homeless, China over 3 million homeless, America has over 1 million homeless.. people gave up their Homes for RV life cause they cannot pay house payments NO more.. so WHY should America bring in illegals and migration when America already has enough problems?! Harris and Biden should be Jailed for causing more problems!! ?

We got to stop them from getting into America. We have our own homeless, take care of our own people.

Trudeau supporters would have called you a bigot or a Russian asset for posting this video on uncontrolled immigration during a housing, homelessness and healthcare crisis. They started to realize name calling wasn't working anymore since data is much more superior. They blame everyone else now instead of holding accountability. They refuse to believe it was done intentionally by the Liberal government so corporations can keep wages low and landlords can keep rent high. Anyone who thinks brining in a million people during a crisis, needs their head examined. Trudeau posted a pathetic apology video on his horrible decisions. The comments on it are telling and the best part.

This infuriates me that they have this attitude but understand this has been inducted behavior because of Biden/Harris allowing this. They completely ignored this disaster on purpose and all disasters including our own states and people of homelessness due to hurricanes and floods, forest fires and mudslides. This Administration has been negligent POS void of their duties, only out for their own gain and to destroy our America.

In Canada now Canadians are so angry at Indians coming here on fraudulent papers, conducting themselves like savages without any morals or standards. Turning every restaurant they work at into a biohazard public health danger. It's absolutely sick and these new Indians are majorly racist towards white people. Indians are being beat in the streets now on a daily basis. Canadians are starting to fight back and send a message. Do not come to Canada. There is no affordable housing available for anyone.! There are no doctors for the majority of the population now. Hospitals are forced to close. Many people both native Canadians and new immigrants are forced to become homeless because of an overwhelming number of Indians flooding into Canada. There will be a lot of murders over the next few years in Canada. People are desperate and only trying to survive in their own native country.

Canada is becoming the place of only the rich can live here and the middle class an poor ar forced out or going to foodbacnks and becoming more an more homeless on the streets.there will be a war here in the future if it keeps going in this manner and rasist that is now will be more for both side but tolate for pure canadins and will need to leave to another country that will take us in.we will be like them an be immediate people hoping to move in.
