This is what you’re reporting? Let’s cover the 5 million people plus that have already entered this country illegally, yes illegally since Biden took office. We have two more years of Biden, and I predict a minimum of 15 million people will enter this country illegally, (lots of unknown god always come in the middle of the night, do you think they wish this country well? ). it’s a catch and release program!!!! Then illegal aliens can show up to a sanctuary state and get everything paid for. EVERYTHING!!!! Even a drivers license, voting rights, school. Who pays for that? Hard working honest taxpaying citizens. Complete and total insanity .These people will never leave this country. Some probably do need asylum, but the majority of them are working the system. Regardless people should be filing for asylum in their own country, and should only come to our border when there turn in line comes up. No easy fix, but letting people in with catch and release as the policy, with a court date more than 10 years down the road, is not a way to do it. Not to mention, there’s a lot of aliens, that did it the right way, and all of these illegal aliens are taking cuts. Our border is in complete and total shambles. CNN please please please have somebody down at the southern border every day, at different points of entry, and report on that. There is operational control at the border, but it’s by the cartels not the US government. I live in a border state, I have watched this my whole life. I have never seen it like it is right now. It is insanity. It’s a straight up invasion.. it’s hard to imagine unless you see it first hand. Which I do..

Imagine a world with no boarders.

imagine if they put this much effort in staying and working in their own country...

I wish we could help all these people ??? the province i live in is so racist and biased against refugees. I can see the upset as it feels our government sometimes chooses to give them more support then their own people but imagine you wanting to get away from your country and everyone turning you around. ❤

I'd rather live in Canada than the US too :[ imagine going to the hospital and not spending the rest of your life paying it off.

Police always polite in front if cameras! In reality the Canadian Mounties come out with their wips to wip black Haitan immigrants that liberal’s wild imagination like to see!

Dude imagine being an infant in the crowd and witnessing all this and all these people running for their lives. I’d be so terrified and traumatized

We should send them back cause this will be a problem just imagine if killers ,rapists etc are crossing over

Imagine being a city that houses people for free, feeds them for free, and you still suck so bad these folks would choose Canada???

Now imagine going to war with Mexico how many people will run to USA

Hard to comprehend the journey some of these people are on. Not only finding their way to the uS illegally but even making it to Canada illegally. Not to mention the countries before. Tens of Thousands of kilometers. The trauma they must have suffered to be this motivated I can't even imagine.

My God. I can't even imagine. Having to leave your home and belongings in order to survive, and then having to deal with this. We Americans are so spoiled being as free as we are. We take so much for granted.

Why not mention that the mayor of New York is supplying the ride to the border to break the law. In Canada, we have an imagination policy. How about the USA fixing your problem.

It's like the police think that telling them that they're going to get arrested is going to stop them. Some of these people are coming from war-torn countries and have absolutely nothing left. Some of them came from countries where there's lots of death and destruction. So I would imagine being arrested and being put into a warm cozy cell until stuff gets figured out is a sacrifice they are willing to deal with.

Imagine if a Canadian tried to do this in the US. They would be shot.

Grateful to live in a country I don’t have to escape from. Can’t even imagine how difficult their journey has been. Especially with children.

If Trump were in office, he'd have 20,000+ troops down there protecting our borders again. Biden just let's it happen, I can't wait for him to be out of office! If you want to come into our country, you do it the legal way! I can only imagine how many criminals are pouring into our country. Then once they illegally get into the States, they murder U.S. citizens, rob our businesses, expect us hard working Americans to pay for there welfare. We're already supporting a shit load of illegals that made It here. This needs to come to an END!

Imagine Venezuela is a sinking ship... like the Titanic... and these people we're desperately trying to get off to save their lives...\nWould you stand in their way and prevent them from getting off causing their death..? \nI realize this is not that scenario...\nJust making a point...\nLook at the desperation in the eyes of these people... can you see their fear..? How do you feel about that..?

Can you imagine if it was Americans running to the Mexico border to get across .

Canada is better in just about every way imaginable. Unless you like school shootings and murdering cops, Canada is the place for you!

Many of the people here in the comment box trying to explain how cringy Canada is even who born and raised in Canada! I am pretty sure those people never have been to a country like Bangladesh, average part of India. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even imagine to write down such a bad words about their country. Here in south Asia, average people literally beg to their boses for their sallery unless its a high-end job. Its weird to hear I know but the reason behind is the combination of inflation and instability of work-life balance. As being raised in Bangladesh though an American I can tight the difference. You wont never feel it sitting there, atleast have a summer break to south asia. Good day

Personally, I subjectively imagined that in the context of the Western world, one can rank among the rich who have at least $ 1 million in annual income, and not 220k.

I got scholarship for MSc from Univ. of British columbia Vancouver in 2011 but I choose state Police officer Job here in India....... I imagine myself living with this calculation in canada in parallel universe.... ?

Imagine putting people like them in charge of running a country and then you see why so many Muslim countries are backward.

Visiting family in Brooklyn when i live in the UK was a major shock to me, to see how segregated the neighbourhoods were was like going back 50 years in time. I'm light skin black and had people looking at me funny on Flatbush, i got back to my relo's and asked wag1, they tell me id be perceived as a Latino... Driving to New York, we go through the Jewish quarter and i see no one walking the streets except dudes with tall hats and squiggly hair... like woah bruh, now i understand why America is so stuck on race and division. It was mind blowing to me, i couldnt imagine how some of these ppl would feel coming here to the UK, theyd be best mates the local off license Sikh owner and talking about the coof with their Turkish barber in 1 day.

As a dual citizen, there are so many things that's incorrect about this video. First of all, to make it an apples to apples comparison, I see no attempt to adjust the comparison by population. There is no point comparing Montreal (where I have lived) vs. Columbus, Ohio. Montreal is roughly 1.7 million people or 4 million metro. The correct comparison would be something like Boston. Similarly, there is no point comparing Montreal vs. LA in terms of geographical spread when LA is more than three times the size. So of course your commute will be different.\n\nComparing Montreal to Boston for example, Boston is very very compact. Yes, Montreal does have better food options than Columbus or your random rural suburbs. It doesn't come even close to similarly sized American cities. It's the same reason for example that one doesn't compare San Francisco for example, against London, Ontario. It's a pointless comparison.\n\nAdditionally, the claim that the worst part of Canada is better than the best part of America is laugahble. There is no truly terrible neighborhoods in Canada compared to American ones (where you can tell if you're in a bad neighborhood), but Canadians can't even imagine the wealth and prestige of the best parts of America, let alone compare with it. The wealthiest don't live in downtown New York (where they maintain their work residence), they live in Montauk. They don't live in downtown Boston, they live in Newton or Weston. The most affluent parts of Canada like Bridle Path/Rosedale (Toronto), Westmount (Montreal) or North Vancouver would look like abject poverty by comparison.\n\nOh, let's not also forget other factors for being in the US. The median household income in Canada is $67,000 Canadian. The median for the US is $69,000 US. The typical American is far wealthier than the typical Canadian. Anybody who tried to buy any goods (or services) in Canada and compared their choices in the US, it's not remotely comparable. Of course, the usual, taxes.

Imagine if these were Baptists and not Muslims? The police would arrest them immediately.

Imagine living in D.C your would live and drinking that Potomac River water. I'm developing a mutation lol

I live in British Columbia. In a city people consider “dangerous.” I remember I had a package delivered to my door. I was at work so I couldn’t go get it. I was imagining those videos I saw on YouTube of people getting their packages stolen within 10 minutes of it sitting there. But nah, It stayed there for 6 hours and never got stolen. Heck my workplace, had a package delivered on Friday evening and it stayed there outside until Monday. I was very surprised both times. I’m not saying that I’m living in a utopia, I’ve gotten robbed before, like everyone else I have my complaints. I think what really helps Canada is the smaller population. Less people means less people to rob shit. That tap water do be nice though.

I imagine people from Flint, Michigan crossing the border and drinking a glass of water must be like a consuming holy wine from a divine chalice.

I live in Ohio and I’m happy no one wants to visit us ? Cleveland is called the mistake on the lake but i honestly can’t imagine living anywhere else! But I agree with Aba New Orleans is pretty much my favorite. But Preach is right the women are generally rough compared to Canada!

It’s a cultural thing \n\nI couldn’t imagine being in a place where some form of public transportation was the norm for getting around \n\nAnd not simply because it seems like a foreign idea. I just couldn’t imagine being happy if I couldn’t drive

All the pros you mentioned for Canada used to be true of America not even that long ago 80s/90s some cities like San Francisco were considered safe and super clean places imagine that ?

I came from Poland to Canada. I live in GTA and holy shit it's much worse than Europe's public transportation but when you say it's better than US then I can't even imagine how bad they got it lol.

This is a disgrace . You people should stop this. Indians and even Kenyans will not shame their Country so much. Imagine one calling Nigera Trench ,your Father's land !!! Dont come back now continue to be a stranger in foreign nations. Most of this ones their parents are lonely, living pathetically alone in big houses.\nFor folks always sending their children abroad l have a little story for u. There was a man that celebrated his 70th birthday. None of his so called choldren graced the occassion. I don't think they came home till his last day. He has gone to his eternal home now, where l believe he will never be lonely again. So whats all this stress

Imagine complaining about not being able to build wealth in Canada. In Nigeria you essentially don’t pay tax and you have no roads, no light, no security. But I’m with you on the boringness, lol.

4:41 ? You Russians are so much full of shite trying to create conflict between the western allies the USA and Canada!… The USA has the world’s richest economy and the most powerful military so the U.S. can destroy Canada many ways if it really wanted to!… Just imagine how unlucky Canada would be if Russia was their next door neighbor… Just Ukraine and other formerly communist countries!… So I don’t know what wars this Russian lady is talking about!… The one lie that many Canadians spread is that Canada won the War of 1812!!! … First of all, this is a blatant lie because Canada didn’t even exist in 1812 and that war with Britain ended in a stalemate. As a matter of fact, Canada didn’t become an independent country until as recently as 1982!

Imagine calling out a secular law in the secular country of canada?‍♂

Wow, then imagine living in Norway ? ?

For the same reason people leave other countries they immigrated to: disappointment.\nFor some stupid reason, most people go to Canada or other country with an idea of what the country, people, weather, etc. are, but the reality is usually too harsh for them to stay in that place... that also happens a lot with tourists when they imagine a perfect week of holidays in another country and everything turns out to be very different.\nPeople have to start being aware of what the reality may be.

I was in an incredible amount of excruciating pain because my appendix ruptured. It was the worst pain of my life. I waited screaming in the waiting room at Toronto's General Hospital, the nurses and security treated me terribly. I had to walk alone to Mount Sinai because I was kicked out for screaming in pain by the triage nurse and security. You would never imagine something like this could happen in Canada. Guys, Canada is a shit country.

This is only a small piece of the puzzle imagine you’re coming back as an international dentist or doctor. You spend years trying to get back into Canada, scarifying your life to get back into the system.

When I first started too have multiple sclerosis symptoms in late September 2009 it took till March 2010 and having been too local hospitals a dozen times in that period until a specialist freaked out when he saw me in such condition and sent me too at Michael’s emergency too be seen by MS neurologists immediately, \nOnly then I was admitted too a hospital in a stroke ward for MS, \nTook 3 months too get a full diagnosis and 4 months in rehab relearning too walk , \nHad too beg pretty much for my medication coverage at times it feels like , \nAnd I’m 4th generation here I can only imagine how a newcomer who has too deal with the system feels

These organizations to “help” homeless people have not done a good job, and giving them drugs is just like giving alcoholics alcohol! Imagine the government giving good quality Tequila or Rum to alcoholics!

I can't imagine Canada has transparent homeless folks especially in downtown?!

Canada sounds horrible to me! ... With emphasis in carton like walls ... Imagine the cold ... wtf... I have been getting a lot of suggested videos by Youtube algorithm and well... seems like Canada no way a good place for immigrants ...

Thank you so much for the video all you said is true but I disagree with you because this country is a country of hustlers…you have to think out of the box to survive to beat the system..it takes time and know the system…can you imagine some guys working in construction in local unions earn 40 or 45 or 50$ per hour and while degree holders earn 20$ per hour…I love the Chanel am extremely grateful to this county the experience is a billion $ experience both good and bad but at the end we take the good and become blind to the bad if we are to make it to the highest horizons.

I can't imagine being homeless during canadian winter! Poor people...

@thefifthestate Thank you for taking the effort to produce this. We could bring widespread awareness by translating this into major Indian languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil and Kannada. I can only imagine how many families could benefit from the translations.\n\nKindly let me know if you need any help with it. We can get this translated by professionals here in India.\n\nLooking forward to your reply.

A lot of parents that have high expectations and hope for their sons and daughters sacrifice their all thinking for the best but never imagined that their children might be taught to not have children and to reject God
