Thank y'all plz come to Texarkana and get room 510

America is the land of opportunity. With or without an education and your determination, we can hold 2 to 3 jobs , while taking care of your family you left behind and still pay for a room over your head. Some make mistakes due to being taking advantage on, because of situations, they work hard and don't get paid or settle for less. It's not just Mexicans it's most of us.

Thats it? Half of Canada is east Indian.. They should go back home to India. Canada has no room even for Canadians

Keep y'all behind over there, there's no room here!!!!!!

Finally an adult in the room???

May God help them find a way in South America. The USA has many issues that we need to address to progress our government systems. This is a distraction from a much greater problem in this nation because China is far advanced economically. It’s a whole new world over there whiles this country is pledge with the effects or racism and classism. Eventually there will be no middle class. It will be the Elites and the poor no room or opportunity for nothing in between. Racism must stop in order to combat classism. Immigration entitlement is a direct result of the efforts to oppress black Americans by moving them in order to keep us out along with every other major issue America is facing currently. Racism will be the demise of this country. The amount of energy and resources used for anti black racism has pretty much bankrupted this country. Just think about all of the black inventors, intellectuals, and dreamers killed or suppressed whom could have been more of an economical difference in this country to help make it a beautiful place…. Crazy work

Many companies are laying off workers for economic reasons while prioritizing international students and temporary workers over Canadians because they can pay them lower wages. Now, in this time, qualifications, experience, and performance stopped mattering. \nHow does the government expect Canadians to pay their bills, household expenses, and other costs in such a chaotic job market? How can Canadians compete with temporary students living in overcrowded rented houses, where multiple bunk beds are crammed into each room, and landlords charge $500 to $700 per bed? \nWhat measures will the government take to address this growing crisis?

I WAS IN THE VIETNAM AND TODAY I HAVE TO LIVE OUT MY LIFE IN A ROACH INFESTED LICE INFECTED RUNDOWNOLD HOTES IN ONE ROOM AND OUR COUNTRY ARE GIVING THESE BASTARDS ANYTHING THEY WANT WHILE I HAVE TO BEG CHURCHES FOR FOOD TH A DOU WOULDNT EAT.

Twenty years ago in Toronto, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for around $700 a month. Today, a similar apartment costs between $2,500 and $3,000 per month. The government should regulate housing market investments to prevent the pursuit of profits at the expense of ordinary people. \nWith the large influx of immigrants of all kinds, there is increasing pressure on families and individuals to rent or buy housing. For instance, in one neighbourhood, a house has been fitted with two bunk beds per room, with the owner charging $500 to $700 per bed. One can only imagine how many people live in that house and what it looks like in the summer when everyone gathers in the backyard. \nIf the government fails to regulate immigration to align with the real needs of the economy and housing market, what’s next? May people be forced to rent a bed for just eight hours of sleep or resort to living in sheds or makeshift plastic tents on the streets? \nAnd when the economy takes a downturn, leaving people with no income, what will happen then?

Jackson you clown! Global READ THE ROOM!! This is what the people want, stop villainizing Trump

Palki, as usual, misses the elephant in the room. The reason Indians are not wanted in many countries, is the crude way they behave, and the way they try to defraud every system by trying to overstay illegally, coming on toursit visa and taking up a job, lying and cheating to bend laws etc etc. The list is endless. It is much better for other countries if Indians just stay in India.

They read the room and G(ot)TFO; they were all, “we need warm clothes.” ‘Nah! There’s no time!’

I hope they are sent home, not given tax payer money and a hotel room ?

They're probably in a a hotel right now eating room service

Our immigration minister will give them $3000 and a nice hotel room until asylum claim is approved. Yet we have tent city’s all a round the country of actual Canadians

Come on over people. We Americans have plenty of room for you to stay. Plenty of jobs, and a future for you and your loving family. The doors are open. Just don’t get too rowdy okay?!???

Never lived there but I drive through alot. California used to be alot nicer but even in its prime its a waistland 3rd world country compared to canada. Texas was horrible. Everyone is rude and stupid. I understand the lack of education but even the people in charge are very simple minded and it's very rare to meet a beautiful woman. Everyone is plastic or too skinny and gross to look at. It's nice to live next door and drive through on my way to the pow wows. I would never move there. Unless canada makes more then 2 genders! Then I will fight a war against canada amd move to usa where we can arrest perverts for going into girls rooms.

Seeing a doctor in the emergency depends on how urgent your situation is. In 2023, I broke my left humerus--the bone in the upper arm. My sister took me to Sacré-Coeur Hospital, which is a teaching hospital. At triage the nurses thought my shoulder was dislocated so they sent me for X-rays even before registration, and at the most, I waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room before I was sent to an examination room. When the emergency specialist came in, I told him about pain between my shoulder blades and a feeling of oppression in my chest. So in addition to dealing with my broken arm, he prescribed blood tests that revealed I had had a small heart attack, and he kept me ovrnight. The next day an angiogram was performed and the cardiologist installed two stents in my heart artery, and I spent two days and two nights in the cardiology unit. I don't dare to imagine how much that would have cost me in your country, but also, many people go to the emergency for things like the flu because they don't have a regular doctor to go to, and of course, for stuff like that you are going to wait a long time. Unless there aren't many patients ahead of you.

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

We running out room,and resource,fill paper work get in right way,suppose give up my good life,so you can have it,no way,wouldn't do it for me,pay your dues,do it legal.

Yes we don't have room in canada or U.S so stay out aliens lol

They knew it was coming he's giving plenty of time to know they should have just went ahead and went home themselves I hate to see him crying and unto all upset but we don't have room in America for you we don't even have that many jobs for you we don't have no jobs for the American people more or less immigrants and we're going broke by trying to feed them and put them up in the hotels and do everything else trying to help him out you can't do that to the American people cuz you're hurting America totally

This is just stupid journalism and very biased views coming from a respected journalist... Poor home work... \nWhy haven't you talked about the number of scam agencies in India (some not even having a proper license to run as an agency), why haven't you talked about the Indians who cheat, forge, and falsify their documents to enter the aforementioned countries, why don't you mention the number of indians who marry a white just for a visa or residency and divorce them, why don't you mention the numerous amount of chapris who go abroad and in every way possible just ruin the name of other honest hard working indians, why don't you mention about uncivilized behavior when Indians are abroad.. like have u ever entered a hotel room after another Indian has left that room.. even an animal cleans up their crap better after their done...

First of all this reporter is biased and always tries to hide the skeletons in the closet. I will tell you which is real elephant in the room. You know why countries like Cuba and their passports are more powerful than Indian passports? Because after the visit Cubans return back to their country whereas Indians will stay back in the host nation by any means. Plus most of the Indians do not represent their country well by their unsophisticated behavior.

Well the big elephant in the room should be incredible levels of dissimulations. Visa officers are no fools anymore. ??

Genuine Travel visas should not be denied. Denial should amount to violation of human rights uner UN charter. Reason should be given for denial of Tourist visa. Room for further appeal is a must.

The other elephant in the room : Indian overstayers. I guess that slipped out of her mind

Look the answer is simple, someone from Burkina Faso will not compete with an average European for his/her job. Indians will for sure. Instead of lobbying for better Visa equity, why not strive to make India more livable? We need to address that issue, that is the elephant in the room.

We Indians will scatter everywhere like a filthy fart scatter everywhere in a room and makes other people uncomfortable.

Congress had reciprocal arrangement. To boost tourism post negative PR following Nirbhaya incident BJP let go of it with evisas. Both sides have valid argument but real elephant in the room is behavior and respect of laws and etiquette by our desis. Imagine out of 55000 non compliant student visas in Canada that did not show up to school..20k were Indians. So unless Indians improve there, neither government Modi nor Congress equally can't do much.

Elephant in the room Palki Sharma omitted. Too many Indians on tourist visas don’t return.

Palki ji, The elephant in the room is the folks who go on visitor visa, and then don’t come back to their home country. They have been miss using this for a long time & now causing problem for innocent ones.

Tyler come over we have room for more friends im certain that you know you will be expected to act in an reasonable and respectable gentlemanly fasion

A group of 10 will travel together and they will all share one hotel room. There's your answer. Host countries want their tourists to spend money not add cost. Palki always has excuses. Blind nationalism and propaganda.

Indian mentality is the leading cause. They want to spend 10 times going to PARIS while ignoring 10 times better places, say the Northeast... They want prestige and to stand tall in front of their neighbors.EGO ...False pride ...go to France or Switzerland and live in 20 sq feet squeezed rooms ...pay 10 times for food ..so most of us skip one meal.... pay even for a typical walk ...just insane still INDIAN STAND TALL ....PRIDE ...Go for value and comfort where you can live like a KING ...and spend HOLIDAY like TRUE Holiday

Thats a response to our growing economy and becoming richer middle class pains the countries you mentioned.But elephant in the room need to take proactive tackle that as an opportunity not a rejection....

Let’s not forget rampant race discrimination in rental housing/ rooms 8of 10 places 1st question is are u Indian or where u from or are u a student ! 500 a month to live in a closet with 4 mattresses on the floor with 3 other people in a run down dump !!! THANKS GOVERNMENT and no I’m not raciest I’m from a multicultural family!!! Just the facts and observation after applying to 300 places!!!!

What is a Dollar Drain -\nImagine 10 people with $10 each and each have a mutually exclusive but essential skills. Suppose, one is a cobbler and one of them is a washerman. Now, the washerman just washed a cloth for $2 and out of his earnings he sent back 1 dollar to his own country. He followed this rule for 10 times. Now the room has $90 left. Now, the price for services goes down since everyone except one has less money. Due to non profitability, cobbler leaves the room. Now, washerman brings another person from his country for the same job. This time price of the service is 1 dollar and both collectively sends 1 dollar from their earnings to their own country. This cycle continues for 10 times. Now, the room has 80 dollar left. \nOne more worker left the room while cobbler became homeless. \n\nNow you know why America is destined to fail.

Take our fast-food and gas station's back, so wash rooms are usable and education i nstitutions are not over crowded, bye bye get lost

90% new arrivers coming to Canada all indians it's too much. no more room for refugees hopping come to Canada for peace and better life. Indians immigrants destroyed beautiful Canada

Please don't come to Canada, we don't have room. \nPlease leave asap if you are here illegally (or legally).

Oh, no… our emergency room wait times average is probably around 3 hours (give or take). While 15 to 20 minutes sounds absolutely awesome, it’s not happening here, unfortunately. And that’s because we don’t have enough medical doctors in emergency care. The majority of them are in private practice, (because it pays better) and even then, there aren’t enough doctors for our growing population. I will admit, though, if you don’t want to go to a hospital emergency room to be seen you can always access walk-in clinics which are all over the place. You don’t have to pay. You just show your OHIP card (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) and the wait is probably less than an hour to be seen. Our Walmarts have walk-in clinics, for example. Easy access, less wait times. Of course, these clinics are not for major emergencies such as heart attacks, bleeding, broken bones, etc., but they definitely come in handy if you don’t have a family physician.

This is all the fault of Biden,Harris and all those sanctuary cities who gave these illegals free room and board in hotels and motels while Americans are living in tents on the sidewalk.Democrats only care about destroying our country and turn it into another Venezuela.I can't wait till Trump takes over.

We voted for the removal of illegal immigrants so theres room for legal immigrants. Cry all you want it makes it even better!

My bathroom is bigger than their shared rooms ?

Send them back.Have holding areas at airports and use chartered flights.Where is Border police.No room for appeals.

They all want a fine room at a downtown hotel in New York, 4oo dollars a week without having to work, American Dream

The best advice I ever got was to rent rooms and share the common areas. That way they are boarders and not tennants and they don't have the same rights. Sure enough, I had a problem, called the police and got the guy out the next day. He tried to take me to the Landlord & Tennant Board but unfortunately for him, he wasn't a tennant. I gave him a sweatheart deal but some people want the whole hand.

In Canada, you can expect to spend anywhere from 3 hours to 15 hours in emergency waiting room. Even if you have 2 fingers severed. But hey, on the upside... no bill! Unless you need a dr's note for work or school.
