Not that many people in the developed world are shopping for an alternative country. So I imagine most Americans and most Canadians will be content with their nation of birth. But as a Canadian, I have to admit I'm a bit scared of the US. The level of violent crime down there is such that _many_ (not all) people feel they need guns for personal security. American prison rates testify to a level of desperation and alienation that is _not_ appealing to me. I don't want to live somewhere where owning a deadly weapon seems like a sensible idea! Also, as a struggling creative/entertainment person, I can't guarantee I'll be consistently earning good money – there are plenty of lean times in my biz. I don't want to be repeatedly worrying about my health coverage disappearing, whenever work dries up. I've never had that type of anxiety in Canada, and I sure appreciate that. Btw, although the Canadian health system is a long way from perfect, I've always managed to get appropriate care, according to my needs, quickly enough, at no cost to myself. And currently, I really like my GP _and_ my specialists!

I'm sorry but HELL NAW!!!! We have kids and ppl over here having major surgeries and can't even get help or assistance for the first time ever needing help like me and my family right now!. It's just not fair!!! What the Hell man!?? Why doesn't America take care of home first!!?? Us Americans should always come first!!!! #SMDH We are suffering enough ??

Stop giving white folk power, who gives a damn if they don't like us, We need to focus on our issues as Black people, stay together BLACK MAN AND WOMAN and dominate.

Now our problem. Black lives need the money. Pay us . Y’all messing up everything for us. Put some crocodiles around the borders like 10000 and 500 bears ????

This has been happening on mexicos southern border for months now. Mexicos president is wayyyy too nice to kick them out like the US is. And most of these people are stealing homes, kicking locals out of their homes and taking over small cities in Mexico. It's not usa problem neither Mexicos problem. It's the southern countries problem. They don't come here as peacefully as most immigrants that come from Mexico. So many people have already been hurt by all these people just barging into Mexico and people in Mexico are suffering for this same reason.

Them people got as much right to the us as we do according to the history did we all come from immigrants so them people get as much right at to the us as we do just like Mexico ain't Mexico part of the US

Everyone that can escape the communist sht holes escape to the west where the WEF gang members are trying to turn us into a communist 3rd world sht hole as well, and then what? \nWe all have nothing and we’re all happy like these refugees yeah??

Reason why US looks like third world country.

so sad, so many people like to flip to US, but hope they can respect the culture in US, US used to be great country, but recently so many mad people esp the youth, shoot here, shoot there cause so\nmany innoccent people die, so scary to visit US now, May God protect US always

Like the democrats, they hate us.

The UK is pretty much like Canada, now. There is only room for the 5% who are rich (the capitalists & rentiers) and the 35% of people on Benefits (the 35% of population who live off welfare paid for by the State using the hard-working tax payer's money). The honest, hard-working middle-class (about 50 to 60% of society) are absolutely screwed and doomed, because all they can now do is keep working their guts out till they drop dead, and never hope to have a decent life. The culture of state-funded Welfare has now gotten so bad that I now live in a street where some 30% of the people who live off Welfare have been given State funded houses, and those houses which are bigger and better than mine (all paid for using my tax money). And I have slogged my entire life (I am 65 now) to pay off a large mortgage on a house that eventually has lower value than the houses that people on Welfare are given on the same Street! Worse still, now that I am approaching the stage where I might need to go into a Care Home, my house (which I worked for my entire life to attain) will have to be sold off to pay for my Care Home costs. While my neighbours who never worked a single day in their life (and whose life was subsidized using my tax money) will again get free state-funded Care Home facility too! It utterly beggars belief. \n\nWhen state-funded Welfare gets to a point that doing an honest day's work actually penalizes you, because all you are doing is funding the lifestyles of the other half of society who wish to sponge off State Welfare (due to the high taxes the Government is forced to impose on the working middle-class to support the 35% on State benefits), then that society can never prosper, firstly because it removes the motivation to work hard, and secondly because some day the Government will run out of money to continuing funding the lavish lifestyles of people on State Welfare. And that is very much now the state of affairs in countries like Canada, the UK, and much of EU. It is an unsustainable model. \n\nBy contrast, in countries like the US, China, India, etc. there is a much greater correlation between hard work and reward. Choosing to not go to work and sponging off Governmental welfare is simply not an option. And that is precisely why countries like these will continue to prosper in the coming years - because they have some form of Meritocracy. Unfortunately, I think countries like the UK, Canada, and most western EU countries are looking at a downward spiral, and there are no easy solutions, because their Welfare model has already created these huge segments of society which depend on it and will not allow it to be demolished - but the day is fast approaching where they will all soon run out of money to continue funding it (most of these countries are already facing huge Debt-GDP ratios, and there is no conceivable way of them coming out of it).

This is nothing new. Ever since the beginning of time Caucasians have always felt this way. It's in their blood, their DNA. They feel Superior to everyone else of color. They see us people of color as inferior. They think they're entitled to everything on this earth. So hateful and so wrong. This will never change or go away. Just like the white blood cells that don't like the red blood cells and vise versa. It's a sad part of life. We don't live in a perfect world. It was never meant to be perfect either. Humans are the root of all evil.

Shoot like they shoot at us

Honestly nah no one shouldn’t be allowed at this point, it’s like every corner of this globe wants to run to us but yet talk shot about America too.

Our representatives treat us like children. They tell us we have to sit on the floor because we had to sell the furniture. They're not going to make that run to the grocery store because we're out of money, but we have to open the door and let every other family in the world come in and have the last apple in the refrigerator. They're called Democrats

There are going to take us over and act like they don’t understand English

Mannn white supremacy is all over!!!..I don’t trust them white folks with any once of my blood!!!..they do be sneaky/passive aggressive on they treat us aswell!!!…but I see right thru that like scott tape!!!…what’s really F’up when this white women have interracial children then they end up callin the father & nigga!!!..I’ve seen cause it’s sad cause if your callin him that than you’ll callin your kids that!!!!

I applied for a visa to the US just to visit my relatives for one month but I was denied... after working for 32 yrs and I just want to visit my relatives in the states I was denied..coming to the states just to visit is like intering a needle..i was invited by the way.. sooo sad they interviewed me for just 2 minutes I was asked if I was retired and I told her yes and gave me a paper telling me I was denied?

Yep look at all the women and children trying to get into the US. Looks like a bunch of adult men to me time to break out the army. If not the army we need to start using the 2nd amendment this is an invasion.

Wow! Thats nit even about trying to get in US, they want thier children the US has locked up like dogs ..oh we forgot that part

Man Texas is so great, no place better right? Looks like instead of succeeding from the US they're being reclaimed by mexico

What the us need to crack down on is this and ppl selling fake documents to these ppl with fake ssn fake names and fake dob that make them look like there documented ppl how hard is it to check these before hiring someone thats the problem in the us we have a flawed system and they know it if we focus hard on this they would not come here in bunches I thought I would never say this as a Hispanic but america needs President Trump back in the white house this os getting out of hand.

It's not that....We are all very small cities....Winnipeg 750 000.....all those people have been brought here to replace us....and they vow their lives to this government....and we are under genocide watch with this new reset.....Did you see that the leaders of the World don't want to talk to people with this government???.....Most of us right now have trouble paying our bills.....And people from other Countries are killing us with this government and everyone knows it.....We don't get free nothing and a government that is stealing everything we have ...that girl doesn't have that problem.....It is like taking down the people of the Pyramids.....There's a new reset secret Nation with the government and they are milking us like a cow.....Those people if it was not for thr Truckers would have destroyed us...

We want our free shart like democrats promised us

Many of these people have to flee their country due to death threats from cartels or numerous other organizations, others have were born into extreme poverty. These struggles are unrecognized by us 1st world Americans. It is so easy to sit in our comfy homes and protest “they need to respect our borders laws” brothers and sisters when you know what living in a corrupt 3rd would country is like living under the constant threat of criminal organizations, you Americans would also do anything possible to keep yourself and families safe, I promise the things you people say would be the last things on your mind, but 1st world citizens will never understand.

Show them SKID ROAD CALIFORNIA! what is like for illegal entry in the US.

There are private companies in Texas that charge a premium to get in a helicopter and hunt feral hogs. Feral hogs are very destructive to communities and destroy property. If you want to act like feral hogs or any other invasive species you should be treated like one. Nations have borders for a reason. Just look how Vietnam handled 1000s of US Troops invading their country. 20 years worth of fighting and absolutely nobody won.

comment section displays a pretty jingoistic lack of compasion or humanity for the situation, full of lots of naive and easy to say comments for people who very likley have no clue about what situation such people left and what nightmares they have been though along the way....like imagine making it to the us border all the way from venazuela, and i wanna say us foreign policy in the region, along with our economic and political impact makes this whole situation so complicated, there often arent paths for things like immigration or asylum for these groups in many of the countries they pass through, or they get held up in camps for processing that become bizarre legal limbos

Americans stand strong ?? don’t end us like us (United Kingdom)

Even tho I don’t think this is correct, U.S people luckily finds themselves on a good position to see this just as people making a tantrum to enter the U.S, proudly I say I’m Mexican American and I’ve lived in Mexico and Brasil as well, non of those Latin American countries I lived is as bad as Venezuela and even like that I’ve seen some very messed up shit, they are countries with a huge culture and beautiful but on the lowest levels it’s a pretty dark place to be…so for the USA people here that is heavily throwing shit, be some kind of human try to understand at least , I get it, I don’t think this is the way neither, but they are not just people trying to invade to take over or whatever, I even saw a comment saying that they should shoot those Venezuelans, the world is a pretty messed up thing now, and luckily or unluckily we don’t really know a shit about it, they are DESPERATE it seem like they were violent and most probably some of them tried to get violent but most of them is just desperate people trying to have it better in their only and one only lives..worst yet, if you have a kid, imagine how worried would you feel for not being able to provide your kid with a good life… see the people in the front for example, they were people begging and crying, is being desperate for having something better, and this is a really biiiiiiig subject with a lot of issues, wrongs, misunderstanding… you don’t know how bad is going in Venezuela, not even me, but I can imagine it cuz I know how bad some people have it in Mexico, and they don’t know how them illegally getting into the US is going to affect the US, I try to get all points so I don’t think this is correct, this kind of events shouldn’t be happening, but I also understand, just to put it in perspective, I’ve talked with some people from Venezuela and they’ve told me some crazy stuff, quick example. McDonalds something most American people know …for one person only it can be around 15 - 20 bucks, in Venezuela, and I think minimum wage rn is around 6.15 bucks and if it’s good it can be around 20 - 30 A MONTH, now apply this formula to EVERYTHING, housing, bills, expenses and I think things in Venezuela for a little bit better not that long ago,so it was worst than what I just told you, imagine you finish college you have somehow of a decent life and for things you don’t understand and no one advise you of, next week your job, money is not even half of the value it had last week, imagine if it was you and your family, your kids…I don’t have kids but I know my mom would’ve done anything for trying and give me not even a luxurious life, but a kinda decent life, and I know most of people would’ve done the same, and not only for your kids, also your mom, dad, sisters, brothers and even YOURSELF…again, I’m not saying this is correct or it’s not I’m just saying at the end our surrounding make us do whatever we are doing….I get you not being okay with this, but try to be comprensible and not go straight into hate for this people. \n\nUnfortunately I wouldn’t imagine anything to solve this problem and I hope something better comes for the entire world right now …but I just doubt it…

If you have an issue with latino people coming here undocumented, you should remember that your ancestors did EXACTLY the same thing and that they decimated native Americans in order to create rules, laws and regulations against the very thing they themselves did. Don't like it? Why are you here in the Americas then- if you don't want to mingle with us? All of Latinos are American whether central, south or north American.\n \nNative Americans were here first. Y'all seem to love to forget that you have no right to discriminate Latinos (because their heritage started here) and indigenous people from the Americas. Their homeland. \n\nYou literally know where your roots are but you want to ignore that part of history and pretend that the US is your god given right to live without the presence of those who's roots are here many, many, again many centuries before you. We don't tell you to go back to Europe because we know that wouldn't be fair to you and it wouldn't make sense to send you there. In the same way it doesn't make sense that you tell us to leave when this is our motherland millennia before y'all imposed yourselves onto this continent. Get over it. Vote for immigration laws that are in favor of them that makes it easier for them just as it was free for your ancestors to do for theirs.

This is a major reason the southern border states educational system is so poor. The schools are required by federal law to educate illegals free and they don't even speak English. We are becoming a poor 3rd world country that does not have the resources, at least in the south to handle these people on a strained system. NO OTHER COUNTRY HAS OPEN BORDERS LIKE US!

Land of the Free and a home of the Brave. A sanctuary country right? We the people? Human beings are trying to enter into a free country. What's the problem? They are not dogs and cats who need paper work like licensing or A.K.C. Registration. When are we gonna get it right? I'm a black man in America. Yet I know Love lives matter. It's about the blood of Jesus. Sure let's do things decent and in order but I'm tired of seeing our people on this planet struggle to walk on free land. Let's continue to respect our Native American brothers and Sisters too. We have a history as mankind we must not go backwards. We gotta call on Jesus to help us find the correct way to do this people. Come on. We gotta humble ourselves and pray for specific problem resolution regarding immigration, freedoms, love and respect, cultural awareness, differences urgencies, priorities and authorities. IM TEARIN UP GUYS. ? I AM GOING TO GOD IN PRAYER. MY NAME IS JOSHUA. WILL ANY ONE TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME? PLEASE DO. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS FROM GOD. A THUMBS UP WILL MOTIVATE ME AND INCLUDE YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH MINE. OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS. I BELIEVE HE WILL HEAR US CORPORATELY. I HAD A VISITATION FROM AN ANGEL AND I DO KNOW THAT GOD IS WITH ME WHEREVER I GO. SOME THINGS ARE ONLY SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME IN JESUS NAME, THAT THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. AMEN??????

Those poor people and America ?? is having problems with everything here like we need to help us so we can help them! It’s a wild world and America ?? is not even able to help our own that live and born here. Kids are starving no where to live. It took me 10 months to find a place to live that’s decent and affordable but it isn’t affordable for 2bedroom apartments at $2700-3k a month just for rent.

Don't rush the border so quickly. How do you think you're going to pay the 20,000mxn rent for a tiny studio in the US when you're leaving Mexico where rent for a whole house is like 1/3 that

The problem is our leader. Please free us. He should be in jail for charity theft. He has ruined our country like hi father did for generations to come. Debt is not a solution. Embrace our oil to the west. Fuck

Oddly could News get Copy of What US Army Investigative Teams gave these People. End Date Freedom to gain Entry to USA. Instead Hello got apply and pay a lawyer to apply for USA Citizenship. Bad Translation. Mentions Texas too. Again sue Whitehouse get copy direct translation. Promise see the people don't like nationality of people telling them No. Simple Simple get Paperwork.

The problem is the USA gets to tell other countries how to be. Toronto has a carding process, Alberta, Saskatchewan, manitoba are all like Texas, can't say what is going on in Quebec because they see everyone as a enemy to their culture. You also have large Asian groups hating on Black and Brown people here. BC is better for blacks in the north but really sucks for natives. But it keeps getting worse when you see the influence those moving here from the US bring.

No country would allow this , they need to open fire! This is our country. Just like Ll the cowards in Afghanistan who refused to fight, they could of easily defeated the crazies! Watching videos of us pulling out it is just a sea of 18-30 young men. Same thing here, so we are supposed to continue taking all the quilters and people who run away . Instead they should be fighting for their country and make it better!! Hell the US will arm anyone fighting for their freedom!! Plus look at how entitled all these people are, they are all lawless. Let them stay in Mexico where there is no law

Im hispanic and instead of following the sheep and migrating to a highly saturated country like the us i decided to migrate to another country that was in demand of a young workforce since they had an aging population problem. Now i am happy citizen of said country with a local wife \n\nSeriously people if a country is saturated then its saturated alot of countries are begging for good hardworking people

There are racists every where in the world its a sad but true fact. Western Canada in particularly has this problem within Canada. Alberta where she is located has a significant MAGA type presence of ignorant white supremacist and separatist types. They don't even like other white Canadians from other parts of the country. Canada as a whole though is far better than the US when it comes to acceptance of other cultures. As a Canadian I am sorry for this woman's familys experience, ignorance is not an exclusively American thing.

Notice how these people's clothes look somewhat new and how they seem to be well fed and not malnourished. So why do they need to be coming here? If oblivious Americans can't figure it out, its because they are too distracted by crap like TikTok. They are going to replace you.\n\nThey aren't coming here to pick fruit and veggies or roof your house. They are coming to live off your tax dollars and further drive down your standard of living. The people that do those manual labor jobs are already here. Besides, the home building industry is on the decline along with the economy and US dollar. \n\nPeople like Alejandro✡️Mayorkas and his kind are just repeating what his ancestors did in B0lshev1k Russia and Weimar Era Germany. Americans need to wake the hell up and learn about REAL history. Most people in the US only known the homogenized watered down version of history AKA crap that they taught us in government funded schools.

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! Democrats want chaos AND A NEW VOTING BLOCK Since they can’t win on their ideas. The corrupted and inept Biden will keep them coming till about 6-8 before election in 2024 hoping Americans will forget. GOD HELP US IF THEY (FBI, CIA, MEDIA, GOOGLE, FAKEBOOK) can manage another “win” for Biden. If he wins again, kiss your way of life goodbye! As soon as the democrats control all 3 houses, they will am,e these 20 million plus illegals citizens. Mayorka said .There is about 20 million “displaced migrants” needing refuge. That translates to more like 50 million immigrants they want to bring over. WE ARE LOW ON HOUSING! Food will become scares too, hospitals overcrowded. Fun times ahead. And a lot of these people have criminal backgrounds, many can’t read or write……?

We are seeing this because your corrupt law makers only prosecute people that p r otevt themselves.fentenal for everyone.... I hope your kids all die from o.d. because this is caused by government and media not looking for constitution violations like they should. Instead they tell us that men can be m I ms and women can be dads. Your all fucking our country up and your kids may fie because of it. Iv lost everything. I hope you that have helped get it worst.

Thanks to the Biden Administration,Countries like Mexico and Venezuela would be ghost countries and Spanish would be the official language in the US. CLOSE THE BLOODY BOARDER.

INVASION, INVASION, INVASION THAT'S WHAT TIS OBVIOUSLY IS ! JUST SEE HOW DISRESPECTFUL, IRRATIONAL, ACTING LIKE SAVAGES SHOULD SHOW NO MERCY , NO PITY , EXEMPTION BEC. IF AIN'T CAREFUL WE BE THEIR SLAVES ! INSTEAD BEING CALM, THEY THOUGHT THEY OWNED OUR USA ! SHUT OUR BORDERS, USE TEAR GAS IF NECESSARY ! OBVIOUSBLY ITS THEM OR US THAT GONNA BE KILLED OR DEAD

This is some Bullshit Our highways the Traffic all over the Us is a complete cluster Fckto many people plus 1\\2 or more even know what the Hell the road sign say! Looks like it's up to US citizens to start protecting our Homeland, We been sold out Folk's, Be sure to say Thanks to Democrats ?next time you're Happily sitting in standstill traffic?

We will love to help them but at this time we have people of our own Americans whom sleep's in the streets like I'm sorry to say this but they can't enter our country by force now we're nice but not when people act stupid because the way they act it makes us feels like they are taking over our country and that's something we will never allow it to happen not on our watch at this moment we're going through hardship we needs to help ourselves our people it may sound selfish to say that but if they were in our shoe and we were doing what they are doing they would've shot us out of their board our own people sleeps in the middle of high heat in the streets

We need interpreters, like Tony Gonzalez and Ted Cruz to explain in their language why they were deceived by Biden (for votes). Send them to SANCTUARY CITIES.\nAnd they’re gonna have to wait right where they are for now. Maybe for a long time. Maybe we should publicly humiliate the Mexican president for not honoring the “remain in Mexico” policy that worked when DJT was president. These people need to be processed before they’re released onto our property. Taxpayers pay for everything. We don’t need any more death and destruction breaking out. Just give them something to eat and drink, and make sure no harm comes to the children. It’s obvious there are some bad seeds there that need to be kept separate from the normal folks that fled their shitholes because of the promises Biden made. I don’t wanna see more Americans die from fentanyl, or run over by cars, or murdered on American soil. Call in the national guard. Every state should be very concerned about this. I know Florida has hundreds of thousands of illegals already homeless here. God help us all.

Caucasians don't like us ANYWHERE! ??
