When the reality is there's more than enough to go around - enough resources for citizens, legal residents and additional immigrant influx - new faces are welcomed by all. \n\nWhen the _perception_ is that there's enough to go around but the reality doesn't reflect this, mostly conservative and certain liberal types start raising question, doubts and concerns. \n\nWhen the reality is that resources and infrastructure are strained, along with unrestrained ever rising COL, everyone regardless of political alignment starts raising questions doubts and concerns regarding the feasibility of such policies. \n\nIt isn't necessarily against those immigrating as long as they're earnest but rather, having to do with budgets and budget cut allocations seemingly favoring others when the priority is usually one's own initially. \n\nTl;dr : It's money. No other way to slice it when examined analytically. The economy, national debt, budget and budget cut allocations.

So this was really good, and got really close to reality, but missed. All of those migrants are from countries where Russia is involved in some sort military conflict. All of the nations where those migrants are going is to nations with strained relations with Russia. Notice how the migrants are migrating to very specific countries

Any leftist ideology party is sure going to hurt its national interests sooner or later.

This is occurring on purpose. New World Order is all about dissolving nation states. The UN is shipping hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Easterners to small US towns. Who provides for their living costs??? The Southern border is only the obvious part of the problem.

If you interfere nations’ territory, it’ll backfire. Unfortunately a lot of countries are experiencing this situation because of some silly “developed” countries.

I have only been in Canada for seven months now, but I noticed a few things about its economy that led to this mess. I noticed that Canada has no globalized companies, meaning the government only makes a little money from doing business with other nations. Businesses here are lazier than their neighbor, the USA, or even in my country, Vietnam, which could be due to a lack of competitors. Cad also has the biggest forest reserve and largest oil deposit but is the lowest exporter. So I wonder how on Earth it stays in the top 10 wealthiest countries with such lazy activities. Up to this point, foreigners are the biggest income of Canada; this country is truly built on immigrants. To keep the country running, it must attract more foreigners. Without int' students, how much do citizens have to pay to keep schools running? If you view it differently, the government also sells the PR through SV Visa because, let's be honest, if millions of investors have invested, there should be something or at least one globalized company, but there are none. From $75k to $200k, foreigners can buy PR for every family member. It is considered affordable for Asian families compared to the USA or Australia. On top of that, another scam is a carbon tax, which means the government needs to learn how to make money rather than invent taxes and sell dreams to foreigners.

You cant import the 3rd world into your country in large numbers to save the world. It is a luxury belief held by the wealthy liberal elites that is inflicted upon the middle class and blue collar workers of that nation. It is suicidal for your culture.

The First Americans were pushed off lands and given Casinos Europeans were the first illegals acting like they didn't cross a whole ocean to get here and if they do build a wall its not to keep people out but to keep you in but nobody's worried about a National debt that no one will be around to see get paid off America it's always someone else to blame one side to every story regardless if it's the truth or not

As a person that grew up around Muslims and have Muslims in my family, the Middle East has never gotten along with each other way before the west came to that region. It’s always been the Sunnis vs. the Shiites. The countries that you named are Sunni Muslims who are anti terror and are tired of instability coming from Islamic jihadists regimes who are the Shiites. Also, the west have become corrupt cowards who have been brainwashed by leftists ideology that thinks by not accepting illegal migration, that you are a xenophobe. Now look at France, Canada, Germany, the uk, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and even America and how liberals have destroyed these once great and proud nations. Our grandchildren are going to hate us.

Why don’t these people change their own countries. It’s what every nation in Europe has done. They didn’t run and hide in another country because they were too lazy to make the change themselves. A shame.

Looks like an invasion of America. Why are we not closing the borders??? FJB. Send the national guard to the border.

This is why I say we need Trump in office I don't care about them crying at the border or whatever you don't see the rich people from El Salvador Mexico and all over the nation Coming to America to live you see poor corrupt crime people Coming to to America and once they're here they're here to stay cuz the America think they can save everybody but the ones that needs to be saved

Gee, I wonder why The Guardian. Could it be leftist trash outlets like yours is pushing it as though it's some sort of virtuous thing when it actually HURTS first world nations?!

The west was been centuries exploiting natural resources, harassing natives, making deals with the devils and robber barons then when people from those nations seek refuge because their homeland is unlivable thanks to capitalism and proxy wars.\nThey want to act shocked that there's an influx of migrants looking for a new home after theirs is pretty much void of biodiversity, food and political stability.

Canada seems swarmed by a more populous nation (India).

What ever happened to good ol fashioned revolutions? I'll support these people building their nations up before I'll support them coming here illegally.

Rise up Canadian take back ur nation &culture ✊??? ur politicians has failed u n sacrifice ur own ppl?

Two-tier Justice. Like the 15 yr old German girl who was savagely assaulted by several foreign nationals in Germany of which all but one were set free with no punishment. This is what is coming to the West.

Keep White Western nations White and Western

Hello Gaurdian - let me set you straight - though I doubt the truth is the point of this video. The vast majority of Canadians support legal immigration. My parents and spouse are immigrants from different continents - all three support legal well managed immigration and oppose illegal immigration. Canadians are against immigration levels that are unsustainable regarding housing, employment and government services. Canadians favour a well managed, sustainable immigration policy that is beneficial to legal residents and the nation.

This makes Zero sense. How are immigrants to blame ?. White nationalism masked as Xenophobia

Even the Canadians know that other nations aren't sending their best. They don't want to keep them neither.

Every land you live in this world belongs to the almighty Allah. If you are good English then it is better be a good human. UK A. NATION KNOWN WORLD WIDE. SHAME TO THIS HORRIBLE ATTITUDE!

This is just as harmful for new immigrants coming in, as it is for existing Canadians who already live here. This is a country of immigrants, so when the people who push back on this flooding of the country are called racists for it, it's a bold-faced lie. No decent Canadian is anti-immigrant, but they are against a planned demolition of the nation.

The Tao Te Ching says that bigger nations need to accept from smaller nations. Idk how that works out for India to be sending people to Canada though. It seems like the failure is mostly on India.

What’s anti immigration? Is it hatred towards foreigners? Or is it simply limited empathy towards immigrants? Big difference, the former is irrational and most Canadians bear no ill feelings towards immigrants, especially refugees. The latter is about rationality, not letting emotions dictate national policy. No one will argue that unlimited empathy towards your own children is the most desirable practice of parenthood. Then why should a country never even question whether immigration policy is benefiting the society in the name of empathy, compassion???

The reals Canadians are the first Nations.

ITS NOT THEIR LAND! They had the chance to be an independent nation and they and the Arab nations said no. In fact they would’ve had a bigger chunk of land then they are now crying for. The Arabs don’t like the Palestinians just like they don’t like the Iranians. They don’t view them as true Arabs and only see them as a tool to use against Israel and however else they can to benefit. The Palestinians have never governed themselves and never even tried to until Israel was created and the Arab/Muslim world had a conniption about Israel coming into existence.

Trudeau = National Nincompoop

This is a well-thought-out globalist policy. The poor of the world must slowly, slowly be all brought to the rich nations. In this way, there will no longer be very poor countries, but the level of rich countries will decrease a lot in the next decades.

They have changed the visa requirements for Mexican nationals. They need a visa now to enter Canada

The United Nations is the cause.

I simply thought he didn't answer the question that was asked: Would the Arab nations adjoining the West Bank help refugees that are fleeing from the war by letting them come into their countries?

Where 's the American intelligence now FBI, CIA, US Sattelite? How come ordinary immigrants pass border easier than peanut...I think you need a good governance as this stage, or else, America will not be great a nation again...it will just written as history, not the future.

Went to a marine park in burnaby this August long weekend to meet some people and drove around for over an hour in five different overcrowded parking lots before giving up to sit in an air conditioned restaurant and met my friends and family at one of their houses\nOver immigration is one thing but extreme economic inequality is another issue that has to be addressed now no matter who is in power\nWe need a national economic dividend now fix the isolating segregating capital system we now have

Uncle Mr. RightWhite is back, offering lessons for those who might need a bit of enlightenment. Certainly, the immigration system can be problematic, largely because our government, composed of less-than-astute individuals, fails to put forth a comprehensive roadmap when planning to increase the number of immigrants (consider housing, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.). This is why Uncle Mr. RightWhite always says: don't be lazy and vote wisely. Use your brains so you don't end up whining on social media.\nTo our new immigrants: Of course, you're welcome to come to Canada, legally, as most do. But it's crucial to learn about the local culture, language, and customs. And please, do take the time to learn about First Nation culture—it’s vital for every newcomer and even those of us who have been here for generations.\nAs for the increasing numbers of nonwhites in Brampton—well, yes, that’s happening. But did anyone forcibly remove you from Brampton? You chose to live among those who share your background, and they did the same. So, what's the fuss about?\nSo, you're saying that a 69.8% majority is under threat? Really, give your brain a good shake. If that's a concern, have more children to increase your numbers—no one's stopping you. Now, if you’re worried about Brampton being full of South Asians, and you feel they don't like you or don't assimilate, well, let's have a laugh. Did we assimilate with our vibrant, beautiful First Nation communities? language? culture?Imagine how they felt when Europeans took everything from them. Stop putting your failures on others. Individuals who are high achievers dive into competition and put in the hard work. Conversely, those who are indolent merely whine on social media. education - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Canada

during our oath and singing the national anthem, when we sing the french version, ive seen others laughing , talking theyre not taking it seriously.. in my opinion its so disrespectful to this country. i hope canada will stop accepting people who doesnt respect canada , like those protestors -the hamas symphatizers .

Oh my God! Get the national guard at that border. We don’t need cheap workers. And these people are very messy and throw and leave trash everywhere. They are wild and they keep driving around with their bright lights on, with no insurance or drivers license. We already have the good Latinos here go fix your country.

When Uncle Scam stops raping the hell out of Latin American nations, the Latin Americans will stop wanting to come to the US.

Lol tell that to the first Nations ??

This has to stop. Send the national guard down there or the military. This is an invasion.

No Arab nations are willing to take Palestinians. Don't believe, ask the Jordanian how they hv been terrorized by the Palestinians migrants

The sign unity of the Hebrew nations

Nationalism and sovereignty is being replaced with globalism.

Most people are not against immigration. They’re against illegal immigration especially from nations that are hostile to theirs and their people. Legal immigrants are against mass migration too.

My heart goes out to my fellow Canadians, it also feels so heavy watching this because we see it on a daily basis & it eats you up so deeply. I honestly couldn’t watch this fully without constant tears flowing. I was born and raised here, my grandfather fought for this country & I have First Nation family members. Canada is not what it used to be, it’s beauty deserves respect.

7:35-8:00 its both the lack of a national housing strategy and the flood of immigrants that are the cause of the problem with all the cheap labor coming in from India Wages are being suppressed and the lack of federally funded geared to income housing makes the situation untenable. How can people afford 3k+ a month rent when most unskilled jobs barely pay 2k. Wages can't rise to cost of living levels if Walmart and every fast food joint can have all their staffing needs met by exclusively hiring international students and TFW's

The rise of of these problems across western nations and the anger and frustration is because of failed economic policies that has left a vast majority of the population struggling to cope with high costs of living and lack of stability in their ability to provide for their families!! Immigration unfortunately is the catalyst that lights the inferno and is also the most visible scapegoat to some very deep underlying issues in society and the economy! Do you think these events will still occur if people not struggling economically/financially???

The Trudeau Liberals have used immigration to keep top line GDP numbers high. What people don’t talk about are GDP per capita figures falling below 2014 levels. Gen Z Canadians are the first generation in the history of the nation to have had worse living standards than their parents. \n\nEngland is a window into the future. Lets wise up and make some changes before it’s too late.

Think it's more the massive volume of immigration to Canada that has people becoming concerned. Immigration for decades has been one-way --- into Western nations. Entire communities, cities and even regions have changed demographically so much, in such a short period of time.
