You mean to tell me that the U.S.A can't develop impenetrable barriers/ fences/ walls to stop the invasion of illegal immigrants? Democrats and Republicans, do your damn jobs and permanently seal our borders!!!

trash video, millions of illegals aren't being counted in your 14% statistic. There is no way that this country is only 14% immigrants

Canada is the most overhyped country, people started seeing cracks and it’s very clear. Their entire economy is looting people in the name of student visa, grabbing from hard working tax payers and give that money to anyone. half the country is lazy and on social programs and rest is asylum seekers or illegal immigrant

Same here in the UK. Doctors, dentists schools, housing all a problem, yet they're allowing illegal immigrants in their thousands from the English Channel, going out in our lifeboats to fetch them in even from the French side and we get to pay for their hotels at a cost of some £7Million a DAY. The staff of the hotels taken over lose their jobs, there's been attacks and a murder but still they keep coming.

With the desperation of people to relocate to the west infact people are ready to pay the illegal fees charged by the recruiter or immigration consultant in as much as the job they are offering is genuine or the amount is reasonable

I love reading these comments from immigrants saying this shit is getting bad. And then they're saying that they're so pissed off that they're going to move back to Mexico, one even said I'm building a house in the Philippines! Now that you came here illegally and got a job illegally and lived off all the resources that the government handed you when you got here like Free Medical Care, Free Housing, free food stamps, and all the other benefits that we handed to you when you illegally came here. Now that you've been here for a few years like 10:15 20-plus years. Now you're going to take your money because most of you will either be on social security or have a pension from a company or maybe even both now you're going to go with our American money and go and live in your country wow what a great comment! That you just made!

economic saboteur illegal immigrant..

The people in comment section is entitled. Includes me too.. you guys are sitting on a sofa in your house and eating pizza while commenting they should go back to their country band fight with thier bad government who has guns and doesn't give a fuck about life. Rather than share what we have food resources in a peaceful way without any violence would have been something a human do. I'm not justifying illegal immigrants action. But I'm horrified of your entitled brats words.

Just stop mass immigration and deport illegal undocumented and overstayed visa… help our homeless

When american media was crying about INDIA not allowing illegal immigrants from bangladesh??\nWAKE UP TO REALITY

Alternate title:\nWhy Canadians are becoming poorer every day compared to Americans\n\nThe American system is broken from the perspective of an immigrant, but it is great from the perspective of Americans - they get higher salaries, cheaper labour through illegal immigration for bad jobs, which means even more purchasing power for them.\n\nIn addition, I'm strongly suspicious of the poll you showed about support for immigration, when decreasing immigration figures is polled as a primary interest for over 50% of people now, it's true that the main political parties are pro-immigration, but that's because the companies getting rich off of the back of Canadians both new and old support it because they can pay less for labour and demand more in household rent.

Screw the biden policy. Screw biden. Screw democrats. These people are putting more effort into bum rushing our country and their own. \nIm not going to pay taxes if it all goes to giving an illegal immigrant a free ride.

Why all the complaining from the Democrats about all these illegal immigrants? I thought that all these democrat run cities were sanctuary cities welcoming the illegals? Typical hypocrites have been exposed again. I don't know why people vote democrat, must be a mental disorder.

As tough as it is they have to come to the country legally.. It's not fair to the immigrants that came to this country legally... Illegal immigration should not be rewarded

Did you guys hate on trump for actually wanting to do something about this by i creasing ice, border patrol and building a wall. Now biden is building a wall lmao so now illegal immigration is bad

No more entry!! Complete blockade for a few years to fix this problem! NO MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!!

No country outside Canada keeps illegal immigrates for feelings or humanitaire reasons. What have they done to stay in Canada from 2015.. collecting welfare at home for sure .. how about Mr. India Trudeau is he going to help people that vote for him, ???

Yeah it's much easier to immigrate illegally then legally lol

The arbitrary aspect of the immigration system is the most depressing aspect of living here in the US. I guess when the system was implemented it may have had some use (such as being impartial to everyone by employing a lottery system) but these systems are pretty outdated at this point and only a leverage for political parties to throw gang signs at each other talking about how bad immigration is. I also don’t think anyone wants to solve immigration problems really, I mean even some of the nicest local people I know throw their hands up like “I don’t know” and I think it’s because immigration suffers from the same thing that many other problems suffer from and that is a lack of focus. Illegal immigration takes up so much time and space that fixing legal immigration seems like a daunting challenge and not at all worth trying. If I were a betting person I would never hedge my bets on immigration, I just need to have the time to digest and understand a lot of knowledge about how immigration helps me and my country. It’s honestly up to the Government imo to give it the proper fix it deserves but, again, why bother if it doesn’t help?

Only the uneducated would think Sikhs are Muslim terrorists. \nThey've been here for 8 yrs and it doesn't seem like they know a lick of English or care to even learn. I'm sure when they came they knew the risks of being illegal immigrants. There's a reason why these ppl come here either for medical benefits or working under the table. \nIf they're not paying into the Canadian economy and leeching off the taxpayers they need to be deported back to their country. Sorry if this may sound harsh, but i'm tired of working day and night to pay taxes to support these refugees and lazy welfare Canadians.

We have a weak and feckless president right now. He doesn’t care about America or the impact of illegal immigration on Americans. Typical Democrat.

This is an invasion. You don't just push your way into a country. Anyone entering illegally needs to be immediately deported and never granted citizenship in the future. They show a blatant disrespect for our country and our laws. If they can't respect our laws before they're even here, what's makes anyone think they'll respect them once they're in? To those who say these aren't criminals, I say by entering illegally they made their very first action on US soil breaking the law and committing a crime. Criminals trying to push their way into America en masse, with no jobs and no place to stay, both of which are legal immigration requirements in every country in the world one may wish to immigrate to.

They never talk about why so many immigrants are mass exiting there countries. The USA is not the only country having issues with illegal immigration. USA and other countries are no longer providing aid to poor countries.

In USA its tougher for highly skilled and educated legal immigration to come and get a ctizenship than unemployable violent uneducated illegal immigrants ! ?‍♂️?‍♂️

We welcome all legal immigrants, don't do it illegally

Why would he think he be welcomed with open arms? Every country has laws and regulations in dealing with immigrants and tourists. Entering illegally essentially means breaking the law.\nDesperate solution for desperate people.

The problem is that rather then reform the system the far left not only allows but encourages illegal immigration which's absurd...\n\nI'm all in favor of a reasonable amount of immigration so long as it's legal

You did not include illegal immigration…

Damn to these illegal immigrants, why not fix your country instead of going to one which most of you are going to destroy.

Ab kahan jaayenge bhai lekin ?. If you don't like canada then don't come to canada. Kheton mein hal joto and don't cometo canada please. Even canadian government should stop legal and illegal migration and should start kicking out immigrants.

And then Americans wonder why there's so much illegal immigration.

Do the numbers include illegal immigrants?

Lemme skip to the end and take a guess as to what's actually happening.\n\nIndians go to Canada first so they can get to their final destination, America, faster. Once they're Canadian citizens, they can apply for US green card and travel easily to America in the meantime. They can work and bide their time in Canada while working in America only having to return to Canada every six months or so instead of back to India.\nBottom line:\nEvery foreigner who goes through the trouble to become a US citizen (clearly worth all that trouble) should be absolutely against ALL illegal immigrants who just walk across the southern border and demand to stay.

One space that an illegal immigrant is allowed in, that is one less space a legal immigrant can get their hand in. The funny thing is, the legal immigrants cheered for illegal immigration. Good riddance, same with the US commicrats, and the soon to be Chinada

As an immigrant to the US, you summed up the issue very nicely. Another thing I noticed is that people who cannot get an h1b visa sometimes would go to Canada, get a Canadian passport to secure an insurance, and then come look for a job on TN visa or EB1 visa in the US. As an immigrant who comes to the US on a EB3 visa, I really hope that the US can prioritize employment based visas instead of family based or even illegals immigrants for the future of the country. One thing that makes a lotta EB immigrants scratch our heads is that why would the US government put all their efforts in taking in illegal immigrants and grant them a safe path to citizenship instead of taking care of the ones coming in legally first. Not to say the other group isn’t important, but it’s a weird way to prioritize things.

The problem with counting the percentage of immigrants in the us is a large majority of illegal immigrants are not tabulated in the statistics. I do believe the percent is much higher than 14% -source, I was a 2020 census worker

Immigrants who've illegally crossed the US Southern border won't have their cases heard until 2030. Chicago city council meeting recently turned into chaos as citizens complained that these new immigrants are making life miserable for them\n Once these migrants get work permits they'll take jobs Americans refuse to take.\nIt's idiot policies of the Democrat party to take in the world's refuse; ie, criminals,mentally ill and other undesirables while blocking the best. It doesn't make sense. \nCanada, land of the million dollar homes and extreme taxation.

This entire video discusses legal immigration. The illegal immigration picture is MUCH different.

immigration from poor to richer countries should be illegal

This video is a joke with an agenda. If America let in people as easily as Canada did and in the same proportion to its population could it not end up having the same housing crisis? Besides that, the video pretends Canada is this amazingly superior place when it comes to immigration when the left wing government wants to bring people in in the hopes that they will mainly vote liberal. In America in the 2020 election which way certain states went (such as Pennsylvania) came down to immigration. People have done studies and found if they threw citizenship at certain people they'd be voting around 70% Democrat. Where the government sets these people up also determines election outcomes. I don't want to live in a country where the government values immigrants for voting purposes more than the native population. That is a subversion of democracy. Imagine being born in America and living there your entire life. There are politicians that feel no obligation to change your mind and win your vote. Instead they look at you and those like you as people that are to have to their votes negated/canceled out by forcing another amnesty of illegal immigrants. They would rather reward criminals for their crimes to win an election than actually make a case for electing them to law abiding American citizens.

As a first gen Chinese American, and to be fair to the US, please remember (1) US has a border with Mexico, which means illegal immigration is so much bigger than legal ones that it sucks up much of the government immigration resources. (2l when the US population is as small as Canada's today, US was not only letting in people from all over the world but also giving them free land (google the homestead acts).

How on earth can you compare the number of immigrants in the US when millions are illegal and thus are impossible to count?\n\nAnd americans belong in american schools, not foreigners. Americans need the jobs.

14% of of America's population are LEGAL immigrants. That's the key missing issue here. The rest are undocumented and illegal, thus uncounted. The actual amount of immigrants here are higher.

This video is fundamentally flawed as you have not accounted for illegal immigrants in the USA which is 11 million at the absolute minimum. Canada does not have the same issue with illegal immigrants.

where does illegal immigration fall into this?

Let's not ignore all the illegal immigrants.

This video did not even mention illegal immigration, that's beyond creepy. ??

We can’t afford millions of illegal immigrants to just walk in and foot all expenses to Legal American citizens to pay in their taxes
