good so glad to see them leaving Canada

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.

REMEBER PEOPLE ...... THINK .... THINK HARD BEFORE YOU VOTE, TAKE A GOOD LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VOTE FOR BIDEN / Harris , I HOPE YOU ENJOY WATCHING YOUR TAX DOLLARS GOING TO WASTE !!!! ??TRUMP ?? 2024 ??

So if they are in Canada this is not good enough? ?

Welcome to New York! Way to go kamalamaladingdong! The border Czar is still at it, she's protecting all of us citizens of America isn't she? What a good job she's doing about controlling the border crisis, no problem at the border now she just ships them close to Canada and then down to New York. How you legal people of New York are putting up with this is beyond me, kiss your state goodbye with her in charge! Remember for change vote TRUMP!!!!

Good!! Have fun dealing with what you voted for new york. Maybe be smarter with your vote this year.

Good. Canada is full.

GOOD.. Cos Canada doesn't need them either. Canada is a Tax slave nation. ugg.

Good luck

I live in the US and need to have a passport or a special drivers license to enter Canada! Did the illegals have one? Well, 13000 more people will be welcomed by New Yorkers! Good for them!

11:45 the guy with the cast is using the crutch on the good foot lol

Good, more beggars is our greatest strength

New York is a complete dump now, good luck America your stupid policies just screwed you over.

I'll be quite up front here . Band him so that he cannot put his foot back on White House ground, I say this for your safety much less hours with all good hospitality thank you

Mr Trudeau: I am ashamed of you. You have ruined, changed many good things from Canada. All cultures are different. This is part of North America. You promised different things to Canadians & old immigrants, but didn’t do it. Everything is so expensive. This is European, white, Latin American country. Where is your head? Do not bring more people from India, Asia, Africa & other parts of the world If you don’t know their gods, their culture, background. How are you going to help the people that are in here??? Send all the people back, & help here. Don’t be like your father& family. Shame on you.

Good work CJ you make the best content really thought provoking

I can see that. There is no news about it here in Canada, at least in western Canada. Good video.

Great video tnx keep up the good work ??

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

Well, I'd like to do the right thing and outline what's happening here but I don't yet have set-for-life money and yt/g***le algos are scanning comments... All I can say is, the solution in America has only ever been to be rich. Be able to afford to move. If you live in a nice area that is middle class... its days are numbered. Prepare to have to move. That's all. Good luck.

Clever,, minister of Arab,, Good defending,,

GOOD WE DONT WANTTHEM HERE IN CANADA NO WAY,,!

Good you can have them lol

Good take them all ? Canada ??

If these are just good people escaping a climate crisis, shut up live with it. Horrid over clogged conditions are better for them than dying. \nIf they are criminals exploiting a broken system send them all back. \nYou talk as if they are both. They can't be both. \nYou voted for this, deal with it. You wanted criminals taken care of.

Good. They can stay in NYC. Not welcome elsewhere.

I gotta say though man- what I want isn't gonna happen but I don't know if it's a good idea to border lock the nation seeing as how this all seems to be on purpose to further separate the wealthy and poor I think the nations leaders want the cities like this the cities are likely insured or something to that effect so if Russia or the Middle East or a sleeper cell targets a major city it'll wipe out the drugs addicts and criminals thatve been corralled there

If Trump doesn't get in office 2025 kiss this Country good bye! Big cities like NYC will become the biggest Ghettos ever! With homeless, crime and lawlessness like we have never seen before. Sad but true

Watching from the UK as the country burns around me due uncontrolled migration , undocumented men housed on the taxpayers' money whilst stabbing goes up 100% , along with 2 tier policing and 2 tier media reporting. Good luck American patriots ❤

Once these corrupt politicians are elected (on false promises), they become untouchable. They do whatever they want, face no accountability, and are nearly impossible to remove from office. Meanwhile, the mainstream media blatantly covers up their actions to make them look good.

WE ARE TRYING HARD DNOUGHT OF THESE PEOPLE SHOULD ALL BE DEPORTED AT OUNCE. O MORE MONEY NO MORE FREEBIES A D FREE MEDICAL CARE. BIDIN HAS NOT FI ISH HIS JOB TO BRING OUR COUNTRY DOWN WILL THESE PEOPLE BE ALLOWED TO VOTE. KAMALA HARRIS THINKS SHE WILL MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT. LET US START PRAYING HEANVELY FATHER TAKE CONTROL... .AMEN

Hey, nothing has been shut down, we are just told it is to shut us up. Think about it, how can this be good without control in place to begin with. If we had illegal entry under control and legal entry control in place, go for it, but now it seems like an invasion and our leaders don't seem to care. Prove me wrong

Good

I say people who migrate here legally should get housing and free stuff at first to get them started - but - people who come here illegally should be subject to extremely harsh punishments - up to and including chain gang, hard labor on a prison island somewhere. And if their home country doesn't want them back - they might be stuck on the island a long time. \nDO THAT - and you will change people's calculation about coming here illegally. And you still get your good immigrants.

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.

Good maybe the NewYorkers will now VOTE RED. The illegal Migrants are coming to AMERICA for FREE retirement and benefits.

How is this good for any country?\nThe national debt is already out of control! So who pays for this? Who approved this? \n\nLegislation now to correct this crisis! Not next week, not next month! NOW!

Nice video also really good quality ?

Good Day !

Good ridens from canada

They ISlamic Indian moving too USA good for us

In 2008, I had to choose if I wanted to remain in the US legally, or return to Europe. I am so glad I chose the latter. But I can see how for the Asian and Mexican migrants, the US might be an opportunity. So, New York offers free housing to migrants, while the US citizens can not afford rent. Good job, Murika!

Good for you. Stupidity pays off.

Good, ny is lost anyway

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?

Good.\nNyc voted for this.\nNO FEDERAL taxpayer money or assistance.

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.

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.

Finally a chase video with good news! I'm from Canada ?

The border is not fully accessible. You must know that there are wetlands, bogs and other traps on the way that is in the summer and in the winter many endup in frozen lakes or freeze because you cannot be outside in -30 c for a long time even in your good winter jacket so ...highly NOT recommended for your life ...
