Hey, we tried telling you all what would happen if you voted for Joe Biden. And I'm not just talking about immigrants jumping the boarder. Gas prices will go up, mass shootings will increase because they need them to fit their agenda to ban guns and strip Americans of their rights. I still cant believe Joe Fuck Up Biden really got voted into office. What a joke

You know Biden just let them all in I’m all for immigration but not like this wait in line like everyone else for your green card

I'm sorry but I say NO DONT LET THEM COME IN

Seems like authorities at the border have been neutered. This is going to be a very bad situation for America. What are we going to do to stop this madness? Honestly force needs to be an option to keep this under control, but I'm sure they will simply do next to nothing, which is sad.

This hits close to home. I'm just about finished my engineering degree in Canada, where I was born and raised and my family has lived for 400 years. Outside of Alberta and Sask, nothing is affordable. And Sask is to barren to live in. I will almost certainly look South for work as this country continues to make itself completely unaffordable. As much as I hate to see it, I don't think i see Canada surviving in its current configuration for any longer than half a century.

I'm not happy to say this\nBut Trump was right about the Caravans.

I’m a son of immigrants and I respect people that come to this country with nothing but a dream and willingness to work hard. That being said, we can’t have this madness at the border. What even is this at this point?

If you want more people, will there be more houses to keep up with the increase in people ?\nCondos don't count by the way. Condos and apartments are a temporary living situation for people. \nI'm talking, actual decent affordable homes for people to live in and start families. \nWe do not have that yet. So why increase immigration if you don't have sustainable housing for Canadians?

This what democrats wants.... one of the reasons why I'm done supporting the left is this.

Toe poppers I’m telling you!!! Lay them at the border!!!

So because I'm white, I am a racist. I have never talked back to any asian men or women! Why paint all whites vilans and white SUPREMACIST?!?!?

Excuse me, I’m a college graduate who pays 1400 dollars in taxes every month. I need help too ..

I'm all for helping people... But we can't even help our own people.. So they've got to do something to stop this , and why send troops to the border, if they aren't allowed to do anything... Thank you Joe !!! You're doing such a great job in destroying our Country.. Get out !!!!! You're worthless !!!!!

I’m truly sorry there are tears because these people have come a long way and were lead to believe—due to the liberal open-border policies of the current U.S. regime—that their border crossing experience was assured, that it was in fact a done deal … and further, that they would be showered with free lodging, free food and medical care, baby formula, new phones, and a monthly stipend … JUST for crossing into the United States illegally. That Joe Biden —who doesn’t even acknowledge all of his OWN grandchildren—was somehow (because it’s true if you believe it, right?) their long-lost and hitherto unknown grandfather, their abuelo and dispenser of largesse, wide smiles, and hair-sniffs.\n Why did he throw his arms wide and ask you to come hither, then, if he didn’t really want you to come in once you got here?\nPerhaps the capriciousness of old age, of ?dementia, of the intense pressures of ill-gotten high office and a forced recognition of the tears of those whose families have fallen prey to the criminal element ever-present among border-crossers?\n Why? You want MORE reasons? \nBecause the man needs VOTES and the country needs extreme disruption (as well as the impoverishment of existing social programs of Americans who will NOT vote for him) in order to increase his own brand of “law” enforcement martially throughout the nation and he’s gotta PREPARE—y’know? \n I am certain of Joe Biden’s sorrow that you were inconvenienced. After all, you did feel it was your “right” to get in, and a few short weeks ago Joe would have agreed with you. But timing is everything in this current business of dirty politicking and unfortunately you missed the unannounced cut-off. Anyway, this is President Biden’s own way of establishing what he likes to call “equity,” and isn’t it beautiful? Again, the President would like to convey his sympathies for your present inconvenience, and if you are ever in the area again in the future, please attempt to stop by. Perhaps at that time it will be a more propitious moment to receive you properly. \n Bye, now. Do remember that Kamala and Joe love you. Be safe!

I'm glad his getting arrested

I'm 100 percent Mexican but no sorry can't let anymore people into this country the US has way to many problems of itself

I’m 20 and I’ve basically given up on home ownership if the status quo stays the same. House prices are unaffordable. Hot shots from up in Toronto have bought up huge amounts of the available housing leaving supply low and there is low availability of rentals due to a high influx of new residents. The “starter house” market has been completely eroded; there is no $100k houses anymore or even $200k, new developments are like 5, 6 or 700k or more and the old houses that used to be cheap are now 3-500k. \n\nI don’t want to leave town for now because I help care for my elderly grandfather, but in a few years I’m going to jump ship and leave either the province or Canada. You have to go where you can afford to live.

I’m so\nGlad the us\nArmy is\nDeploying 1500\nTroopers these\nPeople\nAre\nBad\nNews\nAnd need to\nBe put down

I’m Mexican and I hate to see my people fleeing our country due to corruption . These people ain’t fleeing cause it’s good out there. Our culture is so rich but the Mexican government has to do better . The Mexican government is like that one adult everyone hates cause it’s so irresponsible.

High taxes, high energy prices, low wages, too much government, crony capitalism, real estate being treated as a speculative investment, too much immigration and nowhere to house them, regulations that deter entrepreneurship, poor health care, refusal to invest in our resource industry, refusal to invest in core infrastructure, declining civil liberties. Lot of these problems have been festering for a while, but things have really gone off a cliff since Trudeau was first elected. Even if you get some wise and saintly philosopher king to replace his corrupt arse, these problems will take years, probably decades to fix. I'm in my late 30s, and basically if I want to get out of this rut, I think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and figure out a way to move to the States. I'm getting real tired of grinding my butt working and having nothing to show for it.

I'm a Canadian living in the UK now. I love Canada with every piece of my heart but couldn't see myself ever being anything other than working poor there. I went to college but couldn't get a job in my field so had to take whatever minimum wage I could get, couldn't afford rent let alone buying a property so moved in with my parents and there isn't any support from the government for average citizens, only if you're an immigrant, disabled etc. I'm not against helping immigrants, disabled people or those that need it, just sucks that if you don't fall into certain categories it means you'll always struggle in your minimum wage job.\nLife in the UK isn't perfect but I was able to find a decent job here, the public transit is actually usable, phone plans and other bills/groceries tend to be cheaper and the working conditions are significantly better. Like I get 32 paid days off a year in my average job which is just wild to me! In Canada my sister who is a police officer only gets 15 days off a year and that's a lot compared to other people, like I never use to get any paid time off at my previous jobs. I miss parts of living in Canada but for the time being the UK is making my life a lot easier.

As a Canadian, let me tell you, most of these issues stem from our very poor choice in government ATM, for almost 10 years Justin Trudeau has been our prime minsiter & has done very little besides raising taxes too actually help low income Canadians, I'm on of them, i barely make $20k a year & i live with my parents, its tough & i don't think i'll ever own a house:(

I'm curious about cost of living comparison. Because earning more doesn't mean anything if prices are higher.\n\nEDIT: Also, the median would be a better comparison than the average.

I know I'm in the minority on believing this, but I think that if Canada and the US merged, we would absolutely secure North America as the dominant superpower (for at least another century). With Alberta's oil, the productivity of the prairies, combined with American ingenuity, prowess, and capabilities, no other single country could compete with us.

They need to start the border wars like squid games green light red light ???? nah but fr tho the US need military personnel on the US border u can't even get a decent position in a job now unless u speak Spanish black and white and Asian people don't speak Spanish why they come here and force it upon everyone American it not a law but it's definitely enforced by those in charge like managers who Hispanic or Mexican etc my manager was racist asf telling me I can't get promoted because I'm black said same thing to my white freind she bring race into it for both of us also told us we don't speak Spanish and u got to know Spanish ? I wanted to slap tf out her kawala built ass because been busting my ass but nah when I quit with my white freind we gonna quit as rudely as possible we walking out the backdoor that trips a alarm ?

I'm from India ?? but I care for usa too many migration will change country economy and will start internals conflict imagine the people's came from outside taking your lands making more money than you and than starting problems more

Well I am dead against racism & and I don't treat people different by race but I'm white & I have seen more racism against whites obviously I don't see the other races descrimintion because I'm against It but I think it's disgusting

I'm Muslim but big fan of sikhs

I'm on my open work permit in Toronto. I'm a recruiter myself but I am not getting interview calls from any Recruitment Agencies in Toronto even after applying to so many of them. Any ideas to help me?

Thanks for the info.....a job well done. I'm planning on relocating from Nigeria to Canada. How do I go about it

My dad immigrated to Canada in 1974 as a mainframe computer programmer and I was born and raised here. I know it’s not perfect and things are getting tougher but having been around the world, it is still largely a very peaceful and stable country. I work as an engineer in the nuclear power industry of Ontario and I’m 40 something so I’m stuck here anyway ?

I'm Canadian and it's really weird, Canada seems to love suffocating innovative home grown companies. Smart Canadians who can, tend to leave the country. Our current federal government is failing the Canadian economy and we're not really sure what to do about it

I'm in construction I can't find enough fucking work to feed and house myself in my country thanks to all this illegal entry they come over here demanding shit GO Home

Why don’t they fight back!!! Give them weapons and let them fight for there country it’s what we would do here in America take your country back quit running away being cowards looking for us to help I’m sorry America is over there heads already and this must be stopped!!

hi i'm a student, i need to apply visitor visa for my parents to attend my graduation ceremony. so, since i already have an ircc account through which igot my study permit, do i need to create a new account

I'm just going to say that Canada looks very clean, Kudos to them.

I m 36 years old.\nAm i eligible for Express entry?

I pay 11.5% of my income directly to pensioners as a contract worker making less than 50K in 2023. At total tax rate of 26% all inclusive. I have to live at home, and I can't find a single job that isn't contract work, and I'm a designer who's worked with F500 companies. The best Canadian rate hourly is 30$, my American contracts have paid 135$ an hour. It's such a bad deal to be a Canadian millennial. Canada has two classes. The ruling pensioner elder class which makes up 60% of the country and everyone else that they've impoverished. Canada has poor pay, worsening living standards, extremely high white collar competition, few job prospects and a disintegrating social fabric. But somehow I think this is the story of the entire commonwealth right now. So that makes us no different, and I don't really believe the grass is greener among the G7 either.

Hey I’m looking for a recruiting agency that’s looking for a industrial worker… I know how to weld , drive forklift and I have experience working at the container port

Who wantto have a country like the US.... As a canadian, I'm more scared of being your neightboor than scared about foreign investment... Keep your inequal sociaey for you...

Canada sucks ?,I'm so glad that I didn't go there years ago

After watching this video if you think that what is going on in Canada is not crazy, then take note of the fact that Trudeau government is also making it even harder for gas and oil companies, mineral extraction and even farmers to basically do their job. While Norway, Arab countries and even US are ramping oil and gas production, in Canada Trudeau is concerned more about increasing carbon tax and the rainbow flags. Honestly I'm very disappointed in this country, it's becoming worse and worse here. Prices are through the roof, housing is insanely expensive, even car prices are higher than in USA. Many people have to maintain 2 or even 3 jobs just to survive. And if you are a recent graduate or an immigrant professional, good luck finding a good job. You probably will end up in a minimum wage job that barely allows you to rent a room in someone's basement, pay for your most expensive in the world cell phone plan, expensive cars.... and wait 6 months to go see a medical specialist. If you're thinking of immigrating to Canada, better consider Europe, USA or developed countries in Asia. I was lucky because I bought property back in 2016. Now it appreciated so much that I'll probably sell and move to a different country. Hard times are ahead for Canadians, Canada is gonna become Cuba #2 very soon

I'm sorry... this is on CNN?

The way things are under Joey Biden I'm surprised they're not running the other way

If only there were some kind of trained and well armed group of men that could somehow guard the nation. Well, we'll just have to make one. We'll call it the National Guarders or something like that. Maybe sometime down the road we can have the people with boats that are in charge of which drug shipments get to enter the country and which ones don't, for a very nice chunk of change I might add, and that's not counting the skim off the bottom that no one knows about,? anyway those dudes can guard the coasts. We can work out what to name them later but I'm leaning towards Baywatch. Whattaya think.

Aur bharat m reh ke ye bakchodi maarte h ,jaha inhe sab adhikaar h ....

We are being invaded! Who is ready to head to our borders and stop them from entering? I'm ready ! Our own citizens are living on the streets while they live comfortably funded by our tax dollars! Send them all back to their own countries to fix their own mess not our problem!

How did they get passed all the other countries? I know some of them got kidnapped by the cartels in Mexico. I'm a Mexican American and this pisses me off seeing a bunch of Venezuelans at our border trying to force their way in having a pity party. It's disrespectful. Fix your own country for your future generations.!
