People saying Americans can’t find housing themselves, that’s because the majority of them don’t work! These are working people they’ll be fine. It’s the violence and corruption that’s driving them out!

Lmao all the people on here saying keep them out they also came from different countries

All my family members migrating here all keep saying the same thing. That Biden had offered them homes and money every month. They truly beleive is why they are able to. I asked them what about all the others who were waiting to get citizenship seeing all these other people go 1st. As usual no response.

I don’t agree. I say let them in. Their is plenty of room and opportunity. We Americans are Rich and Fat & have no idea what these people have been through… but what do I know.

Then they come here & are so nasty push race I'm so tired of the nasty attitudes MS13 killings this is really bad for america I'm sure we can tell with the robberies in Walmart army men running threw to catch them they literally think everything is free attacking America they don't even put it on the news the effects America's happening we need Guns cause these people are disrespectful and say this is there land and we took it

In a lot of other countries most of those people wouldn’t have been shot dead…. You can’t say America is racist cause if so they would of done what most countries would of done

Is this the kind of people we want in this country ?? People who say f- - - your laws were coming in to take what we want. ? that. Send these ungrateful people home.

When TRUMP was in office he was saying that WE NEEDED TO STOP TAKING PEOPLE IN, AND STOP HIRING PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A GREEN CARD, BECAUSE WHEN THEY COME THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS GET ON WELFARE AND HOUSING, THEN ON SOCIAL SECURITY, BUT PEOPLE WASN'T LISTENING. NOW LOOK. TRUMP WAS FINING COUNTRY THAT SEND UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE HERE AND FINING COMPANIES FOR HIRING THEM. TRUMP MADE A LOT OF SENSE BEHIND THE SCENES.

Most of this people and their leader claim America ?? is the devil America is a problem the world has, so why are you running to the devils house and why are you people trying to go live with the devil I’m confused can somebody explain onto most of this country is hold your leaders accountable and stop supporting the leader, finger-pointing to the United States and other European country has the problem nobody’s saying that all the countries are perfect or they haven’t done anything wrong, but if you continue to look outside and not hold each other accountable but then you try to run and go be with the same people you claim you claim are your problem

Be thoughtful in what you say, these people are often fleeing situations we can’t even comprehend. That man running with his baby , the weeping girls, the teens all alone … we need compassion AND boarder strength. Just remember their need to leave is real.

Look my parents are imigrants they pay taxes i say gun emm down entry by force is an act of war i love my people but none of these idiot even try to come in legaly they just complain that it takes to long

These prejudices come from how the media portrays these groups of people…then the media turns around and reports on racism like they’re blameless in the whole ordeal. CBC is literally creating the problem that they’re reporting on. It’s not CBC alone but you understand what I’m saying.

Nothing says racism like not letting people in the land of the free.. there is plenty of room and land for houses but you all except the lies

It's embarrassing that America gives immigrants free health care insurance\nEct, but can't even put its own people that need help first it's embarrassing we've become a county of acceptance instead of doing things that need to be done or saying things that need to be said I'm moving to Amsterdam within the next year already started the papers and process ❤?

My parents came to this country in the 70s from a small country in SAmerica. they brought me 3 years later and my handicap brother 2 years later. The USA embassy made my parents sign a paper stating that my brother will not used any government assistance ( he had polio when he was little so he has to walk with scratches) and that's what my parents did until my brother got a job. He worked for 40 years in the same job until he retired 6 years ago. With the exception of the mass rehab center for job training, my brother never used government assistance. \nI remember my mother and I we used to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to shovel the snow from the driveway so it would be safe for him to walk to his car to go to work at 5 am. I am very proud of my brother. \nSome people think that receiving government assistance is smart, but we think is not bc it makes you a dependent, you loose your sovereignty as an individual. And these people don't realize that. Personally I think these people are getting paid to do this bc this is not normal. \nIn the other hand, the USA government in the quest to protect its interests ( mainly the corporate interests) support candidates that will go along with what the US says. \nI would like to point out that in this country, there's plenty of corruption, do u do anything about it? ! Jan 6 is the only time that I see it happening ( for me, Jan 6 will forever be a very important holiday)

?y'all Saying they need to fight for There's We don't want them here don't let them in.... Black people y'all Starting to sound like the people That don't even want you here..... How about black people stand up and fight for what's Rightfully There's?

Yall sound stupid asl saying thry should do that in their own country. Venezuela is fucked up because of US intervention. And the same could be said of Americans, we have been losing all our rights at record rates but no one in the US is uniting to fix it. Stop being judgmental clowns because you were lucky enough to be born within US border. Straight fucking idiots but what can u expect from Americans truly ignorant people

Really there’s no difference between the people. The people are all the same whether you’re from Canada or the United States. All of your ancestors came from Europe. The only differences some of them chose to move to Canada, and some of them chose to move to the United States then you were born, under a certain government as the only difference is, you can go to any province or any state and ask people either say Europe, Asia this is how your government molds you just a toss of a coin, unless you’re from one of the founding fathers of that country

I realize a lot of people do not understand the world. As first generation American, i can say, 90% of Americans do not cherish their freedom. As i see everything unfold, i realize we might be next to be taken over. I don’t know if y’all would flee or what. China and Russia aren’t using us currency so we can’t monitor their spending. It’s not rocket science to realize what they want.

They trying to get in while my black people need to be making a Exodus just like the Bible says.

Friendly reminder that CNN was bought up by a right wing billionaire. They are subtle about it but they will make sure to push right wing narratives like this now - they'll show clips like this which push people into right wing narratives(like saying we need much stronger border control) without any context, exactly as this clip does.\n\n\nThat's not to say immigration isn't, perhaps, a problem - I'm not fully educated on the subject but i will tell you they do a huge number of the jobs Americans essentially refuse to do, like picking fruit for 11 hours a day in the heat and cold. Furthermore, large business owners profit immensely off these people, and a majority of large business owners are Republicans - sure they'll go along with the party line that immigration bad, but they hire these people by the truckload and pay them shit wages, actively and purposely depreciating the wages of American citizens while simultaneously blaming it on nebulous Democrat immigration policies.

I agree with some of your views on Canadian immigration. You mentioned a PR timeline of up to 1 year. That’s what it says in the application process but in reality isn’t always the case. It usually takes much longer esp. if your case file is unique or complex. In order to manage people’s expectations. There’ve been cases where applicants in the express entry process had been in it for over 3 year before receiving their confirmation of permanent residency. It can be a roller coaster journey that you need to be prepared for mentally.

Democrats saying there is not border problem. They can't fix the border because they don't want to, when will people wake up to that?

A man came to my job looking for work. Unfortunately we where not hiring. I asked him politely are you legal to work here because I know some people that are hiring. He says yes the government already gave me a medical card, cell phone and some $$. I've been here my entire life. I've had to work for everything I have ... Doesn't seem fair.

Pfff leave some audio of people saying Venezuela as if it's only people from Venezuela to fit your narrative. It definitely is not the whole administration's fault for the open border. We got people from all over the world getting a free pass, not just venezuela. Fk off cnn

Americans saying these people should take of their own countries without realizing its because of US involvement in these countries in one or the other form. You reap what you sow.

But are vice president says there’s no border crisis we have a clown for president an vice president Biden is Single-handedly destroying America an there’s still people out there that think Biden is doing good or they will say well trump is racist do your homework Biden is a racist literally

The irony is that most ignorant Americans voted for the very government these people are more than willing to risk death to escape. Soon, that will be every American trying to escape CA, IL, NY, etc, and other states will say “No”.

Enough is enough stol this invasion now the American people need to arm themselves and fight this disgusting invasion with extreme force I say treat them like their breaking into your home and use deadly force

I’m sorry people will hate my comment. Put up the barrier. Say if caught last sign may get shot. Just like Area 51. And follow through. A few shots they will stop and go back. We got to protect our people here first. Best wishes go all. If you want to come here do it properly

Tear that bridge down we don’t need it, and we can’t handle any more people in this country. It is making it harder every day for Americans. to survive. You keep given our resources to foreign people that are coming here illegally, and the American taxpayer is the ones that are having to pay for it in more ways than one. America. our government and the American people need to stand up and say enough is enough or it will come The day we as Americans will not have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of because of all the illegals that government is letting in or sneaking in. enough is enough

So people that I had to be saying, the Mexicans crash in USA wish USA they are the ones are crossing the border to Canada. That’s not good for the USA also.

Do you people hear what he just say it say you will be arrested by the police now by the border patrol which means there’s no water patrol in Canada that’s not good for Canada

Wow. This is disgusting. Why have border patrol if they aren't doing shyt! This is why crime and poverty is at an all time high in America. Instead of stupid politicians sending them back immediately, like they did the Hatians, they're giving them healthcare, welfare, food vouchers and housing... Exhausting ALL resources meant for struggle AMERICANS while depleting our tax dollars. Something has to be done. Americans when will you actually UNITE and say enough is enough. These people look like ants flowing in. ☢️????‍♂️

All US people here saying “Let’s help our citizens first” or “Turn them all back” well, for all those “digital nomads” from the US coming to Mexico we say the same thing, rents are going up exponentially and displacing the locals. You are not helping Mexico’s economy by spending your dollars here.

Salute to officers, they are doing their jobs in this situation. You need to have a heart of iron to say no to these many poor crying people.

A Pakistan doctor in Mississauga close to Hurontario St. and Dundas also behave like this with her patients. When ask for something she says go to your country and get that. Who can take action against this type of cheap educated doctors. They should never let people from some bad societies and bad manners to behave like that.

One side of the politics say this is an invasion, the other says its peaceful people looking for a better life. Maybe its a little of both.

This is happening EVERYWHERE in Western countries. They want to break our communities. You can’t blame the men and women leaving Venezuela or other countries looking for a better, safer life. We’ve got to stop hating one another. If the governments in all countries did their jobs properly and looked after their people, they’d not want to leave. America broke Venezuela, same as they try and destroy anyone who doesn’t do what they say. Learn some Spanish, make some new friends. There is strength in numbers, we’re going to need all we can get to face the bastards that are creating the chaos. Peace out. ✌?

You know what would happen if these people pulled this in North Korea? It wouldn't happen there. Some countries will shoot first and ask questions later. I'm just saying. This is ridiculous. And I support immigration if it is done legally and respectfully. But this? This needs to be gotten under control.

Maybe if DC wouldn't bankrupt their home countries they wouldn't have to flee to survive. \n\nWe owe them at this point. Yes, we OWE them. Look at the last 50 years of economic treatment of MX and central America. It's caused mass poverty and lack. In order to survive, many had no choice but to leave. But where do they go? Some go to Mexico, but most want to come to US for work, and why shouldn't they????\n\nIf the feds didn't loot their home countries for the giant multinationals and keep overthrowing their domestic national govts thus causing mass destabilization, they wouldn't be here. \n\nOh yeah our govt OWES THESE PEOPLE BIG-TIME. Instead of treating them like animals they should be flinging open the gates and admitting them and granting them an accelerated path to citizenship.\n\nEdit: and besides these people are coming to work they're not asking for handouts. I'm all for providing some necessary basic assistance but trust me when I say, these people just want jobs they can support their families on.

That's what racist White's say......(we need to help our homeless people first.) America doesn't give a shit about the homeless. This is corporate America. Corporations do not have compassion for the people it's all business, remember?!

All these people want to complain and tbh it’s the people who want a hand out but my people don’t ask for hand outs they come and get a job or two when they touch down so tbh all you “ disabled “ or whatever you want to hide behind excuses to not do something for yourself eat a dick cowards and get a fucking job and work hard for it yourself, your parents didn’t teach you work ethic and you want it gifted well that’s not how this world works. Y’all are haters cause these people will out work your ass any fucking day, I’m not saying break the law but these mfs will get the job done ✅

Denying people the right to not live in such horrible conditions is just wrong. What would you do if you were them? You would do anything for a better life wouldn't you? Screw the laws... history says enough about the illegal immigrants that created this country. Basic human decency says this is wrong. Let them all come here. Then they'll be nothing and America can expand. Just saying there's a lot of good that could come from expansion.

Say what you will about America and how it sucks, but people outside still thinks it is heaven.

People say imagine being born in a 3rd world country like bruh work for change. Imagine being born to slav for people who are lazy. I gotta work so you don't have to ? Kiss my American ahh

Hurts me seeing these people like this but I do not approve any of it nobody should enter any country illegally \n\nI was 12 when my mom and dad left for the US \nthey both left when I was 12 and my brother 14 \nLeft us by ourselves in a third world country sending us 100$ a month to survive \n\nso I waited and waited for 8 god damn long years \nfor me to get a stupid interview that was done in 5 minutes with me barely saying any words. \n8 years it took me just to get a interview with the U.S. embassy \n\nYeah that needs to change obviously \n\nBut when I look at this people I only get disgusted and reminded how much bs I had went trough not being able to have my mom and dad near me as a kid because we went on the “right” path

Unreal people trying to get in but a Mexican guy says no go figure

The United States is starting to get over populated cause a lot of people are coming from other countries. Instead of coming to USA focus on your country work on it instead of running away from it. And tbh it’s not fair that most of the immigrants like the women especially they apparently come here to work but yet get more help than the ones who was born here by getting EBT getting pregnant over And over again. I said what i had to say and if someone feels some type of way about it oh well ??‍♀️

My god yes, this exactly what I'm seeing as a born and raised Canadian. I just work hard, have most of my money taken and limits to me to just working 40+ hours a week so I can go home and watch some youtube. Everything you're saying doesn't just apply to immigrants. People born and raised here are seeing how screwed they're getting, and we're supporting everyone who is coming here, or need more medical, or income support, or have a bunch of kids and are single, and that's is all you get to do.
