It’s TOO EXPENSIVE thanks to the Liberals & NDP!! They’ve SPENT Canada into the ground!

300 million well spent

This biased youtuber understates the number of illegal immigrants (33M) and overstates the cost of deportation. The government has spent 66 billion taking care of illegal immigrants in the US.

Every major US city is struggling to budget for illegal immigrants. This is why trump has done so well in cities, poorer Americans find themselves in direct competition with illegal immigrants for government resources. If you looked at figures like the number of encounters at the southern border and the amount spent on illegal immigrants this would make it obvious why Americans are upset. Instead you just paint poor Americans as xenophobic and don't even give that view a fair representation. Classic elitist bias.

And this is what we call, a ladder puller. Now that she was able to become a citizen, rather than helping her family members to get their legal status, which can be difficult, tedious and very expensive, she could care less if the lives they have already spent decades on building here are completely destroyed. She seems to be fully aware that it can be a difficult process, and I personally have seen that it’s not exactly a fair one either. I have seen some people spend not only years waiting on a hearing or a determination, but spend thousands they scrape together on lawyers and obtaining records, while others submit minimal evidence and get a determination in weeks. Instead of admitting that there are problems with the system and vote for people who are actually trying to help, she wants the same system that made it a difficult process for her to stay the same for them. In fact she voted for someone who is going to make it harder if not impossible for them to come back the right way in the first place. Is she not thinking? If they get deported, that is going into immigration records and when that gets pulled up when they apply to come back it will likely cause any legally efforts to return to be rejected. And who knows how long that will stay in their system? Could be years, could be permanent. Biden’s idea to help those undocumented who are married to citizens to be able to apply and get a temporary visa to stay here while they wait so that families wouldn’t have to be broken up by having the applicant return to their country of origin. That was not just a great idea from a humanitarian point, but they could apply for a job that wasn’t going to take advantage of them by paying below minimum wage, with no rights if they are injured. That could help bring local wages up. They would start contributing back by paying their fair share of taxes, and do on. Republicans in red states stopped it though and are suing the Biden administration for trying to do what? Help people and fix some of the issues that our broken immigration system has caused? \nSorry lady, but you earned your family’s ire and whatever treatment you get from the administration you voted for.

Send them all back across the border. We are sick and tired of our tax dollars being spent on millions of illegals who have no business here in the first place. The sheer stupidity of the corrupt treasonous Democratic Party taking advantage of our true American citizens to make them support these millions of illegals through their tax dollars is astounding. We have millions of our own American citizens who need help but yet are denied access that is freely available to illegals. This is why millions of Americans have voted for Donald Trump because he will not stand by and let this go on any longer. The Democratic Party is done deceiving the American people. We have all had enough of the fake news media outlets spreading propaganda lies to help keep the American people in the dark.

“How do you think they’d feel…” how do you think WE feel should be the question. How do we feel about $500 billion being spent on illegals, how do we feel about crime and disease brought in with illegals, how do we feel about the apartment shortage because of 10 million extra people?

My youngest son would not be alive today if he was born in the states. rare heart condition had multiple heart surgeries and spent 6 months in ICU at Children's hospital. My wife and I although working would have not had health care insurance. we did not have to pay a cent. Now as a family who makes a very good living 180k a year I am happy to pay high taxes to support families who are going through the same things

What about us retirees? It used to be a $1500 a month min. Income to live there. Grew up un Alaska, spent a lot of time in Rupert and Terrace, thinking of moving ther from WA state US.

They told you decades ago they do not have the staff available to do that due to cut back decades ago, so ooooh. Staff shortages: government saving money spent on program implementation, corporations saving money they pay to lower level employees, less people they pay any , if any, benefits to.

If your not an immigrant it maybe difficult for you to understand this but the immigrants who did it correctly and spent 10-15 years in line believe in fairness and opportunity the RIGHT way! Our current system is broken and it needs to be fixed, that's a bipartisan issue. Educate yourselves about what's actually happening with asylum seekers before making uninformed comments about topics you don't fully understand.

I know that dude who met a beautiful girl whom he spent a great deal of time pursuing with all king of heavenly promises. However, all promises vanished in thin air the day he hit the cookie. Yes, he can.

All of these people that are trashing this seemingly inarticulate woman for putting herself and her family first are a bunch of HYPOCRITES! I can honestly tell you that I have spent the majority of my 47 years of life helping people, doing favors for people, helping the homeless, feeding and rescuing stray dogs, lending money I didn’t have, an in essence helping my fellow neighbor. It is in my nature to think of others before myself, but guess what? Guess where that got me? No favors returned, the money is never paid back, when I needed a favor, no one was available, and when I rescued the dog, no one can help me find a home. so I think the lesson here is help yourself as in the flight attendants say before you can help your fellow neighbor if you don’t believe me question yourself how many people have you helped in your life returned the favor? SLIM TO NONE. if you don’t believe me, go ahead and ask people around you to help you pay your rent next month and see the turnout you get. This is your responsibility. Nobody is going to come save you

Then Elon Musk will have to go also. He was in the U.S. on a student visa. He did not enroll in school but instead spent that time working on starting up a company. He later lied about this on immigration forms when applying for citizenship.

Shes complaining about cost, in the meantime the democrats have spent over 180 billion dollars on illegals. The illegals are getting free medical, food, housing, cothes, phones and spending money. That 180 billion dollars should have been used for American citizens.

This woman is right. We need people who are willing to sacrifice their time and their old citizenship to become Americans. She sacrificed a great deal to become a true American citizen. I do not want to be a citizen of another country although I have spent time as a guest worker LEGALLYin other countries. I was not allowed to take jobs in those countries (Japan and Germany) that native workers had the right to take. I was not given benefits or a right to vote. I had a passport which I was required to carry at all times because as a foreign worker I could be stopped and questioned about my legal status. My passport showed my working status in country with the appropriate stamp. I accepted these restrictions as part of my working conditions. I wanted to keep my own citizenship as an American although I could have worked to obtain the fluency level required and the citizenship understanding of law and legal procedures to become a citizen. It would have taken time and waiting for an application to clear. That is what it would have required but I wanted to be an American. I did not renounce my citizenship lightly…nor should anyone without work and thoughtful consideration of what it is to BE a member of that country.

So who is going to replace the jobs the deported immigrants were holding? American citizens don’t want to do these jobs. Are we going to have to import workers back into the US after we spent money to deport them?

As an American I sympathize with you bc we know full well what happened here. We've spent billions and cannot sustain the illegal immigrants. Be ready for the possibility of criminals and drugs and trafficking.

So now CNN cares about the cost of immigration?! But when NYC spent billions giving illegal immigrants free hotel rooms & $350/week debit cards they were silent. Give me a break. Thank you mr president for evicting these freeloaders

Seems Funny how people R Complaining about how much this will Cost!!!! BUT IF USA ALREADY SPENT BILLIONS ON THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS??? N WE(AMERICAN TAXPAYERS) SENT BILLIONS TO OTHER COUNTRIES TO FIGHT THEIR WARS????? Y NOT INVEST IN MAKIN OUR COUNTRY SAFER N GET THESE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ALL OUTTA HERE!!!! This way these business owners will have to pay tge correct wages for American Citizens to work 4 them.

very good.why does anyone spent ludicrous amounts to study if they cant stay there.they should rather start applying for business visas instead or buy property there with that money.?

They overwhelmed our economy! They overwhelmed our city streets! Billions of dollars have been spent on their well being! Idc what age! Idc if they are criminals or not! They have to go!!

Billions spent on arming an illegal murderer Country. Billions are spent in electing a war and money monger learder. And no one can help the poorest hunsn beings fleying thrit country ee devasted. Where is humanity? Free America not from those seeking refuge but from criminsl leaders not caring one iota anout himan lives

The billions of dollars spent on illegals could have helped a lot of Americans. It is wrong what is happening to our tax money.

This guy is a blow hard! Let’s start by using the 1.5 billion dollars we spent on illegals in the last 2 years feeding, housing and free medical. What is the cost for the next year, years? They have to go they are in this country illegally…..

If you did not come into our country the legal way, it doesn't matter what they have done since they've been here. They do not have the right to be here! They should have spent their time here working on becoming a legal citizen!!!

This is not gonna happen. Just like having a plan to replace the affordable care act didn'thappen, or , infrastructure, building the wall. Much money was spent... who knows where, somewhere into the pockets of rich companies and nothing was done. Meanwhile tariffs will raise the cost of everything. He'll attempt to somehow blame Biden and Obama. It's all just ridiculous!!

Idiots. How's that possible? It means the entire 4years will be spent doing nothing except chasing illegal immigrants all over. You lots will then pretend to be working while doing nothing.

They want the money that they spent in immigration spent in USA but when you asked for something is socialism

Here's a clue. Any money that isn't spent overseas or on immigration won't be funneled your way it will be used to give Billionaires tax breaks. So will Social Security and Medicare when it's gutted. Have fun with that.

Canada basically wants students to come to canada pay 4x fees, contribute to the economy by their everyday spending and then get lost to their home country. This is why I keep saying since 2019 that Canada is a SCAM \nThat’s why they ask students for SOPs before coming into Canada so that they can deport students after their education and after they have spent 1000s of dollars in canada. So now you’re broke and canada made money out of you to support their welfare system and bring more free refugees and claim to be worlds most humanitarian country ?

$150.7 billion spent on illegal immigrants. The freebies need to end.

My immigrant wife is pissed that some immigrant come here illegally and bypass the legal system. We spent 2 years filling out papers .... legally!

My town just got 2.5 million the other week for roads n bridges. To say money isn’t getting spent here is not true.

Kamala ended her campaign 20 million dollars in debt despite having the most money ever spent in history on a political campaign. Think about that. If she can’t manage a campaign she can’t manage a country. We did her a favor.

What about all the money (our money) that will be spent with the mass deportations..

Harris spent 1 billion on donations campaign. Trump 388 million.

Harris spent 1 billion from donations. Trump 388 million and took it all. In house incompetence.

Money spent to eject illegals is money well spent.

With all the billions wasted on supporting the illegal migrants? The cost of deporting them will be nothing compared to the former. Our resources would be better spent taking care of actual citizens.

How much money was spent on illegal immigrants in 2023?

How about the American government concentrate on AMERICANS?!?! Illegal immigrants, ILLEGAL, are criminals and Im tired of trillions being spent to make them comfy.

I knew an undocumented young woman who was living with her 1 yr old baby and her undocumented husband in NC. He started beating her up really badly so she called the cops. The cops arrested them both, even though he was the clear aggressor. They sent the baby off to cps and cps sent the child back to her extended family in Mexico. She spent 3 years in the county jail, never having access to proper medical care, fresh air & greenery or money for commissary or phone minutes. She was still in the early stages of learning English so she was unable to properly advocate for herself before she made bilingual friends and she couldn’t even read the English books in the county jail. Last I heard, she had finally been transported to a huge ICE detention facility in Georgia, but her case was still in limbo and she still had not seen her daughter 4 years later?\n\nShe was such a sweet young woman and what happened to her was so cruel, inhumane and totally undeserved. People who advocate for mass deportation are asking for millions of more stories just like hers, but with even more violence, since Trump would have to use storm troopers to do raids and papers checks so they can kidnap the 20 million people they want to deport.

$160 millions of tax payers money to be spent… This country is totally screwed…

Spent a lots of money from india to come as pizza delivery meaning you came here to work

One major issue which gets ignored is that the money these immigrants (specially Indian)make gets recycle back to their own home country instead of getting recycle here to improve the economy here in Canada. \nThey are sending Canadian made money back home to get invested and spent. They rather live cheaply here and scam the system to save pennies here than spend money here to help the economy. This is pure Indian mentality about feeling so happy and proud when you cheap out of stuff for example not giving tips in a restaurant even though when service charge is not added.

Well.. they now HATE her for choosing a candidate that THEY don’t like? Now let’s think about THAT……You have families and lifelong friends that shared love and laughter for lifetimes that have now cut ties with one another because they cannot even be civil over the individual CHOICE (That word apparently only applies to one choice) to vote for who you CHOOSE to vote for…..do you understand how PAINFUL that is? People you spent your life LOVING??? You have allowed THIS and everyone wonders why people are acting so crazy and mentally ill or wacked out on drugs! When you are isolated from your loved ones, it affects your very soul as well as your mind and body. It is unacceptable. It creates THIS sort of detached statement.?

Mz Lyan, both my parents are Chinese-Cantonese. They fought WW2 and earned their right as naturalized Canadians. I have spent many years in the US working high tech jobs and married an American. I love being Canadian and both my parents are planted in Ottawa. Canada has never question my Citizenship. My only beef with the Hong Kong Chinese money has made it impossible to afford living in Vancouver.\n\nLeave if you must but Canada will always welcome it's Commonwealth citizens.

Indian are among top 2 #Earning groups, 1% Indians pay 4% Tax in USA , they are law abiding & doesn't create problem.\nThese Nationalist #hypocrites were okk while receiving 150 #billion Dollars spent by Indians & Indian students.\n\nMaybe West deserve North Africans, Middle East fanatics & Latins.

I spent years learning German, traveled throughout Germany, took courses in Germany to get up to between the B1/2 level, have a college degree, look German, German heritage… and was consistently treated like I didn’t belong and shouldn’t stay. With the skills and certifications I’ll have at the end of my graduate education, I will be able to make 2-3x as much in my home country as I could in Germany with fewer taxes and lower home prices. Why would anyone other than a low-skilled worker with few options ever want to move to Germany? The US, Canada, the UK, and even France are far better destinations for skilled workers, and yet the German bureaucracy still acts like every Italian and Turk has nothing better to do than learn German and work at a VW factory in Stuttgart.\n\nReally, Germany and the Germans just don’t get it, and at this point I doubt they ever will. They didn’t even want the Russlanddeutsch back after the end of the Cold War.
