You NewYorkers asked for them you pay for them yourself. Americans want nothing to do with any of them.

Meanwhile legal immigrants are held up for years and must pay thousands of dollars in USCIS fees. Spousal and children of US citizen visas should be getting priority ahead of all other immigrants, especially illegal immigrants. We ask for no benefits, just to have my wife and child be able to be home with me.

So, if I was a resident, I wouldn’t be paying no more taxes. There not stopping, and will continue to bleed this city for all that it’s worth. They allowed all the riots and looting against store, the violence and assaults. Ya, I wouldn’t pay a single dime!

Anyone paying attention to England? They have finally woke up, but it’s probably too late. Their prime minister Keir Starmer calling peaceful protestors “far right” and saying they will protect the mosques. People are fed up and now the anger has exploded and it’s kicking off. Police are arresting old ladies who have pacemakers and not violent.

I haven't been able to travel because of the taxes I'm paying for the immigrants, the inflation, electricity, and groceries so, I'm wondering is there a way that I can register as an immigrant so that I can travel and stay in a luxury hotel?

And hockul put together a task force to find out why people are fleeing the state in record numbers. Lol? bc taxpayers are sick of paying for this and being denied assistance ourselves

NYC is a Complete Mess , everyone who works and pays taxes should leave

Houston TX (Minorities) pay attention now.... (Whites) are the minorities,

they’re getting food stamps, and cash benefits every month. I pay for that against my will. They are transferring my wealth to foreigners who have no stake in my tax dollars I want my tax dollars to go to infastructure and existing programs.

In NYC, migrants from South America can go to 800 2nd Ave Manhattan and go up to the 2nd floor to the Embassy and get papers filled out, get a passport, get your reloadable debt card, medical, schooling, housing voucher and live like a king for a few months. Over 200 line up every morning here and several hundred a day go through to get this. Can we be mad at the migrants, NO. Though I can be mad at the government for allowing and promoting it. When I got leukemia from the job the utility company fought Workers comp and stopped my pay to starve us out. I ended up homeless with a wife and 4 children. All social services in NY could do was offer us $13 a day per child for food allowance and nothing more. We couldn’t even get Medicare. The food allowance was only for 7 days. It’s a disgrace how citizens are treated. Come here illegally and they offer you the world. These politicians need to be voted out. Social services was developed to help those citizens in need and it’s not happening. People need to realize that government contractors (usually family of politicians) are hired to help these “migrants” . These contractors even from the UN are in Panama helping migrants get here. If you research it you will get angry for sure. My elected officials in Northern NY know what’s going on and are behind it, they don’t even hide it.

It's not even just in Brampton even 1 to 2 hours away immigrant and international students take all customer service jobs to the point that Canadians can barely get hired into these roles because we have expectations and rights that we worked for and I've seen these immigrants willing to work for less than legal minimum wage and they do not stand up for themselves or work towards having any shared rights. In addition many politicians on both sides of the aisle are rental landlords so only stand to profit from low rental vacancies and cramming as many people into a small space as possible. They've also cut funding to a lot of post-secondary institutions who rely on inflating tuition cost for international students. At my current role on a team of 15 people plus one manager there are only three white people, born and raised Canadians. The rest are all Indians including the manager and will frequently talk amongst themselves loudly in Punjabi while we're trying to serve customers in the English language. That's actually against policy but Canadians are so outnumbered by immigrants and specifically Indians in this place that it never gets enforced properly. I've never been anti-immigration but it's gotten so bad in Canada especially in places like Ontario that I'm now against it and will tell anyone regardless of their skin color to avoid immigrating here. I've been on a wait list for a doctor for over 11 years, I know people who have died from cancer due to delayed referrals due to long wait list for additional screening, it's insane and absolutely ridiculous especially considering the amount of taxes I currently pay and have paid my entire life as a born and raised Canadian.\n\nAlso it's absolutely true every single one is either taking or has taken post-secondary studies in business admin or management. We don't need more people in these fields we need Healthcare sector workers and not a single one that I've spoken with which again is quite a few studied anything related to medicine Healthcare nursing... not one.

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.

Stop paying taxes. Collect welfare get food stamps. Silent protests.. \n\nLook at UK. Coming to an American city near u

The taxpayers shouldn't pay any taxes.

So a legal resident that's on Social security, most of the time supporting a family, has to live and pay rent on less than $1000 a month but an illegal family gets rent bills food clothes and $1400? Sounds legit, this is the stupidest shit I've ever seen. What is going to happen to our country? We're gonna end up like the countries they're fleeing. This is ridiculous wake up! VOTE Get these yahoos out of office that are destroying our lives and our childrens futures!!!! Im so scared for our childrens futures.

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!

Never fear NYC residence. You have an entire state to tax in order to pay for it.

Omg this terrible why they allowed them to enter here.we pay high tax and using money for the people who enter here.

Nice they get 1400 a month my mother retired and gets 700 a month from social security after paying taxes for 50 years

Good for you. Stupidity pays off.

How Sway, is this going to be sustainable? Our stupid government is using OUR Social Security money to fund this nonsense!! WAKE UP PEOPLE!! WHO DO YOU THINK IS PAYING FOR THIS???? Luxury hotels, food, healthcare, schools and $1400…Really, for those who illegally enter?? Yes, That sounds fair!!\n\nWho is allowing this? Democrats!! They don’t care about our citizens otherwise they would have stopped this 4 years ago!\n\nDon’t complain when there’s no money for your retirement..!!

?a new wall that the 'cnuks wii be paying for?

I'm sry your countries are shot, I really am. US had the same problem, but our ancestors fought to make it free and awsome. Stay and fight, for your country's future. Fight the cartels and corruption!! NY is going bankrupt, the rich don't pay for them.

Told you. Once they hear there's shelter/food/money being provided they'll come on their own and won't have to be sent. And NOTHING you tell them about the reality will stop them. They heard it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from their cousins nephews next door neighbor and that's the gospel truth from then on. They don't care who they displace, they don't care if it hurts other refugees, they don't care if the smugglers they pay kill innocent people during the process. They want what they now believe they are owed. Period. And you'll give it to them or they'll make you sorry.

I CAN EASILY SEE HOW DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH--ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE READY TO WORK 50-60 HOURS A WEEK, PAY THEIR OWN BILLS, ETC. ==LOL

Trudeau gives free education to the East Indies immigrants and they don’t pay taxes on their mortgages but all the Canadian students have to pay for their education and come out with huge debts. Sounds fair?

The US Corp. needs more debt slaves to pay taxes.

Illegal alien invasion - what has happened to our USA borders? We are a country under assault of economic invaders. The middle class is paying for all this. Vote Republican to stop this disaster.

I just want to point out that if they are flying to Canada paying handlers and taking a taxi from the border they are not fleeing extreme poverty they are fleeing the extreme poverty of others. If you think this is something this ain't nothing wait till you see what's coming

this is war people this is not migration this is invasion! how the hell are we not removing our leaders for this! they are housing and paying them! wtf!

All at tax payer. Dime. Honestly people shouldn't stop paying. Taxes

I hope New York take all the illegal from Canada ,because they are living in tents , at lest in New York their have hotel, food and money , you can’t beat that , better doing now before the winter , don’t blame Canada we don’t have sanctuary law, \nand the pay is better in New years

democrat choose this rather than make visa processing easier....Many applicants pay 300 bucks just for the interview...they have to provide bank statements..and many other things...YET most of them get rejected...So whats the agenda here Dems ? pro immigrant ? seriously?

Voters get the government and policy they vote for. The politicians they vote for are woke progressive virtue signaling egotists who think they know the correct answers and want to appear as good and kind and compassionate. In reality they don’t know what they are doing and end up hurting the people they claim they want to help being mainly criminals, illegal aliens, mentally ill, homeless and drug addicts. They don’t care about law abiding, honest, tax paying productive citizens. So, those people end up getting the government they vote for.

Time to get the rabbits out of the garden. No more foreign home ownership, if you wanna own Canadian property you should have to live here. Decrease immigration to no more then 150,000 a year and not just east Indians but all ethnic groups. Axe the carbon tax and force the liberal party to pay back what they stole. Make it easier to build homes. If you aren’t a citizen you don’t get access to our free healthcare you should have to pay, can’t prove your a citizen then pay up. That’s how you’ll fix canada.

While everyone is focused on the southern border, no one has been paying attention to the Northern Border and our Ports of Entry. Its been going on for years. \nThis administration is abusing things like parole authority and the asylum process. \nIt is a lie that the law needs to be changed, the law is perfectly capable of enforcing violations of Immigration law, and processing legitimate claims for political asylum. But this administration refuse to enforce the law. \nWhats worse is that the Northern Border has been stripped of Border Patrol Agents who are sent to the southern border to process illegal aliens. I live on the border between New Brunswick and Maine, and Border Patrol Agents have told me this. \nUnless your an American citizen, its extremely simple to enter Canada. Their immigration laws are very weak, at best.

Isn’t that human trafficking ? These are Anti Americans contributing to the illegal alien invasion having no remorse for destroying the USA and forcing law abiding taxpayers to pay for these criminals with resources meant for struggling Americans! Disgusting!

Make it 200 thousand right New York City? After all your a sanctuary city. Remember liberal democrats. Pay you pay

Hello I hope to hear back from you..\nMy sponsor’s bank statements closing balance is lower than the CA$20,000 but there has been some good transactions is it still okay to attach??\n\nAlso can I add another sponsor already in Canada? The persons pay slip??

La religion est privée et intime pour tous . Comme les natifs ok. Votre religion est a s'adapter. Les autres sadatent dans vos pays ok?

Le problème n'est pas le pays c'est votre acclimatation dans les pays laïcs, tout simplement. Comme tout le monde ?

OMG - working people are coming to Canada! They are going to pay taxes, oh dear - let’s panic.

Toronto has turned into an unfriendly, unaffordable liberal hell hole. When I was earning a fraction of what I earn now I was able to save nearly half my pay cheque and now that I earn significantly more I can't even save. Things changed radically over the last 10 years with quality of life and health care in the toilet. I can save more and live a better quality of life in Mexico

The rich, giant corporations, banks, developers and landlords LOVE being in Canada. They're making a KILLING, and where all paying for it.

They let us in the country promising some things \nAnd now that they are here, people don't like it. \n\nLet's talk about middle Eastern & North African immigrants and refugees as that is a notable reason also\nThese people don't pay taxes, don't work as much and are a burden overall, but the problem is Indian students that work their asses off and have paid huge amounts of fees to colleges, almost twice as much as students other countries, needing to show 20,000$ in a blocked account. \n\nAll in all, it's a country on earth that provided legal entry to people just to fuel their dying economy while Canadians are off living the life and enjoying vacations. \n\nIf you want to pass your conclusion a d views, let's talk about the whole story

No one forced them to leave their land, but they should not attack israel or else they will pay enormous price

I love both Canadians & Americans. However, in my travels, I have felt Americans to be more tribal. People hold on to their political identity so hard it alienates others. Its starting to happen more here, but its common to put the person before the politics. Also, ever experience a kindness train at a Timmies line up (person pays for the person behind them at the drive thru)? That's Canadian kindness to me.

We already pay our armed forces to defend and protect our country get down there and earn your check.

You are 100% correct. My friend was mugged in broad daylight. He went to hospital with his injured face - nurse simply asked him to stand in the queue. Bachare stayed there for 90 mins approx to see a junior dr in emergency. \nOne another time myself got ear pain around 1 am . Called to see where I can see a Dr. They said to go somewhere 20 km away. Once reached asked wait for hours after that they told to get olive oil . Since olive oil not covered I need to pay!.

Most of these students are on Canadian welfare and us Canadians are paying for it
