It is happening both ways, USA and Canada. For 8 years, migrants have entered USA from its southern border, prob. from Central America, then bussed to New York, then put into taxi's at New York and driven at Roxham Road into Canada. We don't need them in Canada either. Last I heard, Roxham Road has been closed. Only way to bring sanity back to the way it once was is to elect Trump in USA and Pierre Poilievre in Canada where migrants will be sent back to their places of origin.

Lol. Last election it was a caravan of illegal immigrants from Mexico. Illegal immigrations migrants is a hot topic and it riles up voters.

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.

I'm Canadian. We have a serious problem called Trudeau. We are stuck with him until October 2025 at the latest. He will very likely lose the next election.

The dems are doing as much damage as they can before the election. Their hope is to brake America so they can rush in with all kinds of socialistic solutions. If this isn't true, why are the democrats letting it happen? Not one word about any of this from the white house.

Flood major cities with illegals while forcing/incentivizing them to illegally vote in OUR elections to cheat on behalf of democrats who are a clear and present danger.

The political elite is bought out in the USA and in Europe by foreign enemies with the intent to destabilize us and control it from within by corrupting its democratize process as we have seen with the election of Biden-Harris, the ejection of Biden, dismissing the votes cast for him by democrates, and now the crowning of Kamala Harris who is a Manchurian candidate of the extreme left that wants to turn the USA into a Communist China.

This way Dstated Dems want doing .they import immigrant replace voters Usa & keep NYC blue stated. 4 years later 2028 election Dstated Dems unneed Usa voters. Immigrant voted them .look NYC doing .15k in Account & 5k cash .inwhile Usa People homeless nothing not enough buy food gas rent ? anything take shelter of you .wake up Usa

They're stepping up the illegal immigration before the federal election. A highly sophisticated operation indeed.

Thanks for the video. I didn't know this is happening. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada, and humanity, which is why the policy was changed. He's just as vile as the POTUS. \n\nLast I heard Canada has absorbed over 16k illegals over our border, from the US. The intentional strains to each country are shared. \n\nCanada and the US needs leaders who are nationalists and work for the nations they've been elected to serve. Unfortunately, the democratic process might be over, thanks to the left.

Sickening! \n\nWant more of this, elect Harris.\n\nHope it stops, vote Trump/Vance. But don't hold your breath. It's an industry.

Why are the New Yorkers complaining…..they elected the governor and mayor who are allowing this …

For the election… to help Kamala…

More INVADING ILLEGALS brought in for the election.

...setting these people up?? Movie P urge election year(24)??

The democrats destroying America to steal a election!

Do what heck America is waiting on to Block the border these people's careless about nothing until when the damages has done can u imaging what is going to take place in elections hmmm ?

they will find a way to rig the elections again and you will find kamala ridens in the oval room. poor you

Trump says he will do mass deportations. I believe him. Unfortunately we might not make it to the next election.

illegals for kamala, gotta get those numbers up before election time

The Canadian Governent is working with the US Gov..to help illegals get to the US to vote in the Nov election..to help the Dems win.

I have a Theory: Democrats and The Current Brandon Administration knew they were done for elections this time. They invited these Yetis so the incoming Republican Government will have all the trouble to deal with this and wouldn't be able to do anything else!

We have got to vote these crooks and election stealing heathens out of office. This is insane!!

IF that Unqualified Political Hack Extraordinaire is Elected ( God Forbid ) you can look for this in virtually EVERY Town and Major City in America. And the Mind Boggling part; people will actually Vote for that Anti American Marxist. LOOK at the hideous Policies she would implement.

You can have em! It’s our pleasure. The problem is our PM. Trudeau. He’s a radical woke far left imbecile. He’s an activist who dupped the young people in our country to vote for him. He’s the poster boy for a greasy out of touch lying politician. We have an election. Text year. Don’t worry my American friends he won’t win again and we’ll right the ship.

The DemonRats are bringing illegals in to replace you and they will be illegally voting in the 2024 election.

Americans scared that their southern border is unsecure while their northern border is thousands of miles longer, unprotected and unmanned. Speaking as a Canadian you all should be scared in the USA. Now that Canada is on the downward trend due to no housing, no jobs, inflation and unsanctioned immigration, I can GUARANTEE that you will get a huge influx of illegal immigrants who hop the border. They get into Canada legally (since we accept anybody without backgroud checks) and once they discover how tough life is here they make a run for the USA. Canada was never their final destination just a pit stop before they head to America. Canada needs some serious help and legislation when it comes to this. Our infrastructure and culture are at a serious risk of being permanently damaged due to this. Our federal election is in October 2025 and even if we get a politcal party change I fear that nothing will ultimately change for the good.

They will all be voting in the next presidential election, no question. In Reality, citizenship requirement is a myth.

It's not that Canada doesn't care. It's that Justin Trudeau and the woke left don't care. If we elected a conservative government thia madness would end.

There’s a chance that the Democrats are getting their butts kicked in the election this year so they’re doing anything and everything they can screw it up so it be impossible to get everyone out of here It’s sound like it was by design

SCHUMER AOC AND HOKIAL WILL ALL BE RE ELECTED. U VOTED FOR THEM??

Dems doing what they do best. Wrecking the United States.\nThis was all planned out by the left wing to muddy their coming ‘NO CHANCE’ election and desire to maintain power.

If Trump survives the next 100 days and is elected, he will have a monumental task turning this around! It's about those millions of 'fighting age' men who will not agree with getting deported back to their sh-hole countries - especially after have seen the big city lights and been given a free bite of the 'Big Apple'! Prepare for it, NY and America! Thanks 81 million DIM voters!

Mmm, typical political movement. elections are around the corner, so I'm not surprised. Ihe words of president Bukele: you say you have problems at the border many migrating to the u.s. nothing has been done in the past 30+ years and nothing will happen or work. If countries would have a stable economy, citizens wouldn't migrate, and families wouldn't be separated. No president has any control over the border. No republican or Democrat

Stolen elections have consequences.

There goes election 2024.\nI guess my 75 years was long enough to see this beautiful Country sink into ruin.\nI can always move to Canada.\nWhat?\nOh.\nNever mind.\n-- Texas

Trudeau and his liberal idiots changed the rules. Ni reasons were ever given nor was it ever mentioned prior to our election. Nice eh.

Why not come to NYC as an illegal, NYC voters will pay for them happily. Proof, look to the elections and who they vote for.

I moved here 2018 . Canada has been great to me .I was able to go to college and graduate. Thanks to the student loan.\n\nIt's true, job has declined and things are getting harder since COVID-19 and Trudeau is doing very badly. Next election l will vote Conservative.\n\n\nTalking about religion, l am glad you are leaving. I am ex-Muslim and l believe more Muslims mean less freedom. I challenge you to do a video like this with your wife in Afghanistan.

Bringing in their voters to tip the scale on the upcoming election no doubt. ?.

If we don’t elect Trump, the USA will be no more

Ok here is the new problem. IF Demorats win the election, all illegals will be made citizens. They have no skill set, cannot speak English, and cannot be vetted. So they will remain on welfare. Estimates are that over 30 million have entered our country. \n\nThere ie no sustainable way for the US to fund all the illegals and all the citizens currently on SNAP, Section 8, Medicaid, etc. So the demorata...will take benefits away from citizens to be able to fund the illegals.\n\nIt hasn't even begun to get ugly yet. November will decide whether we stay a free western culture or become the worst kind of third world country with our own citizens starving to death.

This is by design. This is how the democrats win all future elections, by inflating the electoral vote, which is based on population numbers. This is why democrats don't want citizenship on the census.

Do not worry our boarder czar will fix this problem upon winning the election. Oh wait she not the boarder czar or she is the boarder czar . I lost count. I got an ideal send the yellow school buses from California to NYC that may help . She loves the yellow school buses ?

After Trump got elected, ALL illegal migrants will be deported !

politicians just want to get elected, they have no intention to do real improvements.

45,000,000 ilegal aliens that were allowed to come in so they can steal the election. Stop voter fraud

It's not just the artels, Cash. That's HUGELY disingenuous. The Church is making their $$ off the US Gov funding to ship them to CA in the first place.YOUR taxes pay for shipping them in illegally. Which is so bizarre. YOUR Governor knows this. This is election interference.

Oh NO! This is just as bad as electing a FELON for a president. LMAO

In February, 2024 it was estimated 175,000 newcomers added to NYC so far. Probably approaching 250,000 by end of 2024. If border policy remains in effect after election, NYC will likely see OVER 500,000 newcomers by 2028. I hope NYC is prepared.
