It's ironic that CNN is reporting this. It's their viewers who voted that clown into office with his ridiculous immigration policies.

In Sikhism, the Five Ks (Punjabi: ਪੰਜ ਕਕਾਰ Pañj Kakār) are five items that Guru Gobind Singh Ji, in 1699, commanded Khalsa Sikhs to wear at all times. They are: kesh (unshorn hair and beard since the Sikh decided to keep it), kangha (a comb for the kesh, usually wooden), kara (a bracelet, usually made of iron or steel), kachera (an undergarment), and kirpan (a small curved sword of any size, shape or metal).

Oh my goodness...Canada seems to have run out of red carpets...Canada has problems. It has racism. It has sexism, yet with only high school four of my sisters became bank management and executives...and we have a blue-collar mixed-race heritage. But despite that Canada has a tiny tiny economy compared to its immediate neighbour and still delivers an impressively comparable lifestyle...plus a health care system that struggles to find a way to be universal in our post-pandemic world...that actually saved my American-immigrant husband's life. If you can understand the sheer competitiveness of trying to get a job in this marketplace then you might understand that despite Canada's best efforts it's not the land of Oz. If other countries are better sorted and have your dream jobs waiting by all means have that good life where you can. If you want to work towards building a future in a relatively safe and free nation...and that will mean taking part in ironing out age old problems...maybe Canada is for you.

Lol, meanwhile I entering through CBP as a taxpaying non-immigrant proper documented worker is asked for everything except my clothes on body at checkpoint ???\n\nLudicrous how ironical this great country has become.

I left China to avoid a brewing housing crisis and ironically I now live in Canada ?. I have seen first hand how a blind government can be overly dependent on real estate because it does generate a huge revenue in the short term. But most short sighted politicians failed to understand that the housing market is similar to the stock market, the value of houses can rise but it's just a bubble. When the bubble is so large that the hard working people who produce everything the society needs cannot even afford a roof over their head, then the shit is really about to hit the fan.

10:03 Drop in Canadian auto production shows how effective Trump was when he renegotiated NAFTA and pretty much killed the Auto Pact. \nWith that decline in Auto production comes a decline in all the industry that supports the auto sector, steel, parts, services, etc.\nCanada cannot compete on labor, taxes or financing. But it can compete on energy and inputs. If Canada built out cheap hydro and offered very attractive power rates to industry, as well as built out resource refining (iron ore, oil/plastics/chemicals, rare earth, other metals, etc) industry would locate in Canada just to have the cheap input advantage.

Leftism people voted for. The most ironic is that those people are fleeing from their countries wich were also destroyed by leftism.

Venezuelans had a good country at one point and when other countries in South America wanted to go to their country looking for a better life they spit on everybody’s face thinking they where the best out there, and I’m not saying they deserved but it is very ironic that after not helping now they need help life takes many turns never look down on anyone because one day it could be you?

How ironic that CNN are complaining when they themselves are the problem

Ironic how all these descendants of past immigrants, as in non native Americans, are nowadays complaining on how the future immigrants should stay away... ?

All these immigrants dying to be proud patriotic Americans while ironically you got everyday Americans;\n\nhating to be here in the greatest country in the world but would rather be China or Canada\n\nsupporting TikTok communist company \n\nburning our flags\n\nBurning our cities down in the name of summerly love \n\ndenouncing their citizenships \n\ngiving away their rights to arms, freedom of speech and right to assembly \n\nDon’t want to work but crying for handouts \n\nArguing about what is a woman \n\n\nThese people looking to build families, work and start a life here supporting the American dream

Really ironic to read some of the comments here. Maduro rules Venezuela by decree of his party's legislature. He refused to accept the results of the elections in which his opponent won in 2018 and deployed the military to kill dissenters. This is EXACTLY what Republicans wanted to have done in the US: have Trump rule by SCOTUS decree and deploy the military to counter Democrat and Independent protestors.

Can't blame them. There is a fool and a puppet shit show residing in the white house. Strike while the iron is hot, I guess. STOP THE INSANITY .

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.

How ironic, the consequences of the CIA’s actions biting back at America many years later

Actually there are other countries that allow people to just walk in. Have you not heard of the hundreds of people who arrive in small boats and rubber dinghies into the UK every day? The ironic thing is that many are rescued by the British navy and coastguards when their flimsy craft get into trouble and are actually brought from international waters to a UK port.

Ironic, isn't it? The most multicultural country is also among the most racist countries!

And you all thought Trump was crazy for asking an iron wall!

It sucks they can't make their home countries home and think America is the answer. Meanwhile, America itself is going to sh-t, and it’s only a matter of time before the American people revolt. Ironically, some Americans choose to live abroad because they hate the system here. Get ready to be taxed and overcharged for every living expense. There is no mercy for any worker in the US.

I arrived to Dallas Texas in 1998 with passport and two kind of visas, l worked hard like a donkey, in 2009 l received my permanent residence. I became a citizen in 2020. Those guys are trying to enter illegally and demanding everything for free: house, food, clothes and money. Ironic !!!!

Ironically Texas is Mexico. Along with a few more states

Mexicans keeping Venezuelans put, ironic

Ironicly, that customs officer does sound like a New Zealander.

I get it that the need a safe place to go but they spend so much money on refugees but yet to spend money on all the native land the Took kinda ironic I love everyone just the generational trauma is chaos

How ironic, CNN won't cover the border and the millions off people flooding into our country. But they will cover the few hundred that crosses into Canada's country.

Just seeing this is creating an even greater hatred in my heart towards right-wing politicians who don't give a crap about these people and what their reasons are for wanting to come to our countries, even though them being here is not going to cause any harm or misfortune to our citizens, it's just the knowledge that foreigners are coming to our countries illegally, is the only excuse that these bigoted Hippocrates have for not wanting them here. \n\nAren't they so lucky that they were born in a country where they didn't have to worry about any of these problems, but sadly for these people this was not the case for them but they are just as human as any of the rest of us and deserve the same chance to at least not live in fear or in the poverty that they came from. And it is so ironic that these people use their Christian religion as an excuse the pass certain laws or forego certain amendments that gives certain minority groups equal rights or the right to bodily autonomy, yet they ignore all the vast passages in the Holy Bible where Jesus insisted on having compassion for people like this, but in reality these fake-ass Christian right-wing politicians don't care about that. I feel so sick even thinking about this.

all the DRS are from india or middle east. horrible. they are dismissive, rude and treat you like ur'e the intruder. they treat their people here, better. but u cant say anything, or ure a racist. ironic isn't it. my aunt left here as well, over 80 yrs ago, and never came back. i now have 4 generations of American cousins.

Anyone else find this ironic in a weird way?

Ironic how nobody bats an eye when illegal European refugees flood and infest other countries yet their hypocrisy can be seen which it's about POC.

It is funny in a way that those people are leaving their homes for a better life in the US. Kind of ironic. Their country is so bad and go to the US border and get treated so humanely and with all the kindness they can muster. Only the few can make the trip to the Canadian border. And their first experience is what the US is known for, Racism.

Canada isn’t a cheap place to live. Cold half the year. I’m Canadian trying to secure a half decent bag to live in South America! How ironic!

Ironically Biden has done more damage to Canada than trump ever did , . ....and no I don't like trump

While I know this may sound like I’m typing this ironically, given the Flint Water Crisis, some Michigan areas have some damn good tap water too. Nothing like waking up half drunk in the warm morning and drinking some cold tap water straight from the faucet ?

Ironic.. India people scams India People. good luck

Praising Quebec's economy when it is subsidised is in the least ironic...

Imma find ironic that these ppl presumably kicked Caucasian ppl out only to rely on us LOL

An ambitious dream demolished by a filthy country. Still greed prevails....how ironic!!

Ironically the state has open carry law for firearms if I remember correctly .. and they have a problem with a tiny knife? \n\nWell, America ☕

You ladies could move here to the south U.S. Realize that almost everything you've been told about us is a lie or gross exaggeration. Stay away from the cities but most other places are a great place to be free from tyranny. At least for the time being. Many are working hard towards changing that, ironically, from non southern states.

How ironic?? IIIrd world people from countries with corruption and broken down infrastructure-no roads, streetlighting, limited electricity with load shedding, poor healthcare, filthy unpotable water because they dont pay their taxes..........complaining about services provided to them in a Socialist country because one follows the rules here..........????

The good news is both private and governmental cameras with facial recognition technology are everywhere so eventually the cases of mistaken identity are going to be almost nonexistent at some point. The 1984 implications.. well those ironically should have been brought up decades ago too late now.

Boss, i stay in India and life here too is now as complicated as it is in the West, if not more! In today's urban India most of them don't know who their neighbours are/ don't interact with them for years together. Even amongst the neighbours, they keep in touch with each other via mobile phone (predominantly WhatsApp). Children avoid staying with parents and relatives at ALL costs to an extent where they even leave their natives/ immigrate abroad to achieve the objective. Work pressures at the Indian private sector is probably the highest in the world where most employees don't even have time to breathe let alone interact! Btw for those who argue that the Western society is highly depressed and immoral blah blah blah, lemme give you a reality check- India is almost about to become the dubious capital of depression of the world, divorces in Indian society is SO high that it's way too common now to see people who've been divorced/ married second or third time, people fighting marital disputes in courts for years and years and in most cases paying off the girls family hefty and mouth watering out of court settlements to achieve peace of mind......the list is endless......so where does an ordinary 21st century Indian achieve peace of mind and a peaceful life with a quality lifestyle to boot? It's obviously the Americas and Europe (mostly). It may seem ironic to some old timers, but it's the harsh realities of the world today.

I keep telling immigrants this. I want to get away from my own country (Australia). The western countries are so weird now. The only thing I think people could be coming for is the money and products. But I think that is on the way out too. Plus what you earn here quickly goes out the other hand even if you budget well, and its getting worse.....ironically it can be even more difficult to immigrate in the opposite direction...?

I remember the good old days tho Minecraft role play yandere middle school you made\n My child hood thanks mango tango or iron mango

It's the Iron Mango

who here remembers the iron mango

Hey you sound like that dude from the channel of Iron mango

Three words the iron mingo

My own family immigrated here from South Africa 40 years ago. They say the people here are dour, and unfriendly. Ironically over the years they have become the same. The country changes you, and each province seems to have it's own culture. Currently in my province there is a large influx of Indian students and Syrian refugees. Many students I've spoken to complained about the racism, poor weather and lack of things to do in my city specifically. Myself, I feel foreign now in a city I grew up in and am hoping to move out west, but maybe further south to be with my american boyfriend. I wonder what it's like immigrating to the States lol!

It's ironic how Afghan refugees are being welcomed with open arms while Mexicans, Venezuelans, and Syrians are treated like cattle.
