All I can say to this sista is Thank you because folks she is speaking the truth. Canada the country as a whole has high levels of anti-blackness not just in Edmonton and not just by white folks. The worst thing is the others minorities or so called POC groups ally up with white against black people and it is a nationwide issue that we definitely need more people speaking up about their experiences. In addition to the fact that even Canadian Descendants of Slavery get discriminated against from our own black brothers and sisters who have come from other countries.

To the people in the comment section PLEASE read my statement Canada has mass racism. There is a massive Native American population here and they BOTH hate each other, Canadians actively encourage each other to hate Natives and the tension gets worse the more north Canada you go. DO NOT BE FOOLED CANADA WAS BUILT ON RACISM

Women of color are finding out the hard way that the only way we can survive as a people us to stick together \nThey swear they can get degrees and be accepted into the white world and racism is over and they’ll get a zaddy a brad or Chad and live happily ever after ???

I don’t feel sorry for black people getting discriminated against going to those places. Stop moving around those people they telling you they don’t want to have nothing to do with black people . Leave those people be and go move around other black people. My goodness have some self respect

GET THE FCUK OUT THERE! STOP FORCING YOURSELF ON THESE PEOPLE!

Sadly with this type of chaos you need to do something impactful to make people fear coming over illegally. Make an example of a few and it will deter this from happening. Our policies are too lenient and this is why our country is falling apart. We made it where the criminals get everything and the regular citizens are victims and can’t even do anything to retaliate. We were given the rights to protect ourselves but our weak government has decided to take that right away and made it that if you kill a trespasser who is coming to hurt you you yourself goto jail. Need a stronger leadership. America has become soft

If these people would organize like this at their own government, they'd probably get a lot of shit accomplished!

Wait, did all of you people commenting not watch the whole video? These people didn't get in, they were stopped.

So all of these people are looking to get free housing ,child care , and health insurance just because they had a baby here

Animals demanding their way into my country. I say immigration starts to randomly check people identification even the obvious US citizens so nobody gets their feelings hurt. Think of all the new jobs being created for ice.

I'm a manager of a family from Nicaragua, and they work harder than a lot of my American crew members. Central American people are some of the hardest workers and just want to work and raise their families in a safe, wholesome environment.\nI love the men and women I train. They want to learn more of the safety procedures and how to do things by policy, instead of cheating, they work hard and very fast, they learn English very fast and they love to teach me Español. They're some of my favorite workers and favorite people in general in my workplace. I'm working on getting a couple of them promoted to management with me.

They need to handle shit in their own country. There’s no reason they can’t emulate our ways. Goods things are usually difficult to get. Start a revolution like we did way back against our tyrannical government idk lol. But this ridiculous crowd mob is not how I want people entering my country. Go through the process and get in legally.

maybe the GOP doesnt by 2000 visa's for these people on every election cycle .I mean how long have we been seeing these caravans fvrom mmexico some rich republiocan goes to Mexico and buys 2100 visas each one for 6 months in the united states for picking fruit AND Takes pictures of his crowd of Mexicans walking to the border every election cycle after the election we hear nothing until the next election this is a republican waste of money but hey its not like they earned it it grandpas money these GOP idiots cant even read and write .How sad to be rich and not get an education than wake up 50 and cannot read Like trump a 79 years old illiterate

I don’t think all these people don’t under stand the US is struggling financially not only that everyone entering will just end up in the streets some will get lucky and find work thats willing to take them in but not most will risk it

So you have no problem with people getting shot in an insurrection at the Capitol but you got a problem with people getting shot here OK I see how it is

They need to pass an amendment that they get no welfare, free housing, or medical insurance. They’re not entitled to enter or receive anything from Americans and they’ll pass 7&8 countries when they’re supposed to go to the first country they come to. People should come in legally not just think they can invade illegally. There’s no way they can vet all these people and this president is endangering Americans. Also we don’t want America looking like a slum.

There country is fucked man there are people that need help for real and we here in the us worrying about LGBT rights more than people dying shit is crazy thay need to fight back and take the C gang out some of them might even get killed on the walk back the cartel kills anything they don't like and this is one of them thing I bet

Have been LEAGALY fixing the legal status of my husband for 4 years!!! and all of these people get to come through just like that :(

The strange part concerning the whole situation is they get housing,health insurance,grants for education etc when the American people get kicked in the ass.

I feel bad for the people that are running from danger in their country . But what is the solution here. We don't have our act together in the USA. We can't get the homeless off the streets?

We’re one of the only countries where people feel bold enough to try this shit. Makes you wonder what they’re being told back home. “The Americans are so soft, you can practically just walk in and get benefits”

The biggest problem is Americans TV shows and politicians only show the fake side of America ( everyone live in a big house) and promote to the world that if you come to America, you will be rich.\nThe government needs to help American people first, before get involved other countries business and pretend to be the big brother, keep sending the money we can’t afford.

Oh wow I thought this was some kind of music festival or sports game cuz I saw a Raiders jacket lmaooooo they acting way too wild. Why they repping for one MY TEAM two an American team like you ain’t even American. Why other countries do that wear each others clothing. It’s weird. We don’t play over there never have never will. I notice people will use Raiders especially as a gimmick and I don’t like that. I have that shit tatted on me and named my daughter Oakland and my other daughter middle name California so I’m true to this. The real deal. ANYHOW they arguing yelling with them and digging into the barbed wire they’re going to get hurt. It’s bloody. Who’s going to stitch them up??

These people will get treated better than any homeless American and it’s all for votes. Think about that.

Our forefathers fought and more importantly died to get rid of the tyrants in our country. These people are unwilling to do the same which means they are not worthy of Americanship. If all of the millions and millions upon millions would coalesce into a fighting force men and women together they could flood and overwhelm the tyrants in their own country and created a place where perhaps after a while they could become a player on the world stage. They want to stow away not having paid for their passage to the very land that demands our own blood sacrifices to maintain. We send our young ones to the military some die some are maimed....and they are blessed heroes for it. These people have no desire to fight for liberty therefore they deserve none.

We got homeless veterans and Biden let's these people in. All of you who voted for Biden, get your IQ checked out and never vote again. Democrats couldve had Yang or Tulsi, worst loss ever. That party is hopeless.

Me and my husband have been paying thousands and waiting for 3 years to get him his visa and these people are getting a freebie? It's enraging. We don't even know anything about those people

The president is doing this to get votes people can’t you see this why are people so naive

Why does everybody think America is a great place to be when there are a ton of problems here already. These people need to go home. Make their country better and stop trying to come here and Get handled things.If necessary military should move in and shoot if necessary. This is ridiculous.

We had a President that was against this, that wanted a wall. Now, we’re giving free housing, food, phones, healthcare, paid job training and even higher education, and the list goes on! I’m not sharing my opinion on social; however, I am stating a fact. I’m not going to comment on what I think would happen if just one or two families left this group and went down the road a few miles and found another way in. I’m not saying that’s right, but say it’s what happened… they’d get the above. I also see many comments here saying these people should fight for their country and try to make it right… well, I don’t see Americans standing up to our government and doing what is right. Look at what is happening to our own country right now! We are about to have no religious freedoms, and no democracy anymore, all because we aren’t using our own voice. One world government and one world religion. That’s what we’re headed for. Oh, and a cashless society, all while we are being monitored the entire time. I hope this is what you want. Personally, I won’t be here. Maranatha! ?️???

People are desperate to get into this country. I wonder why? I thought the US was such a horrible place to live.

I live in the border and I see Venezuelan people everyday walking in the streets, with no house, or a car, just walking with old clothes and shoes. They want to get out of poverty and get a job and they are desperate. And me too.\n\nI’m a Mexican who has the American Dream too but I will cross the border in a legal way. Not like that. And my mother has a shop where the majority of our customers are from Venezuela and Haiti

I really feel for these people AND all Americans who are doing it so ‘heroically’ tough. The cost of petrol, food, medical expenses, housing and the list goes on. The wages ‘if you can get a decent paying job’ have not gone up enough to cover the cost of living. It’s getting the same in Australia but not with these scenes of forced entry. God bless America ?? + ?????

Why not take care of our own people first. Sadly our taxes will go up to house and feed these illegals. And they'll probably get free cellphones too. What a mess!

All of those people that cross illegally are detained and returned. Don't be fooled by the scare tactics they use every single time it's getting close to elections. Then if they win, you hear nothing about it for three years. Immigration, gays, abortion and police funding or defunding are the tactics these idealess Republicans use only when it's time to vote. Or did illegal immigration stop under trump? Or LGBTQ community? Or abortion? It's all bullshit. They don't show the days and nights when literally no one is crossing the border.

Bro we have enough people we need to get more tough on this crime

Crazy to think that i as a doctor started the paperwork to move over to America, texas to be exact. The amount of things i need to do to get there correctly is crazy. Should have just got a flight to these guys and just ran in ? if America fills up with 3rd world people, it will become a 3rd world place.

We need to step it up. Unmanned drones, land mines. American border security should be synonymous to fot knox. To my knowledge not many people have died trying to get in there illegally, because no one is stupid enough to try

Government Must Stop this!! Violent Invasions. because Everyone else in the World is thinking that we must take every person that comes to the border.? We Pay taxes and everything and every paycheck we get. And is Not to Support people that just got to the border. No Isn't our problem if their Country's are Corrupt Careless. And useless Crappy.. go Fight with that Government in your country No Here we already support many People And their families Already and Apparently 4000+ People from the African country Areas Already. So we working to Support Other people's Problems? Fuc@#$?Up

i dont get why people are running here. We didnt screw up their country, they should stay home and fix it. Isnt Venezuela a paradise?

If you don't say that we should bring everyone of those people in here and put them in a hotel and pay for thier food and shelter your a freaking racist. I swear I mean take the shirt off your back america I mean off the backs of the homeless vets. I mean what the hell did they ever do for this country. I mean these people are willing to jump through barbed wire to get free well everything what did anyone here do to deserve anything here. ? I mean they are going to pay so many taxes I'm sure it will probably balance the budget and America won't default and continue to fall into a recession. I mean what we need is hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of undocumented people here eating our taxpayers dollars. Cmon isn't that the American way. Work hard all your life to give it away to some illegal who came here. Nothing makes me more proud than watching the govt take all my shit and give it to people who are really worthy of it. Who come from countries where thier govt makes it almost impossible to live so I would happily give all my material possession away to help like 9 or 10 Mexicans. Granted my house burnt down last week but the shirt on my back it's all yours I don't even need it in most states and local convience stores below the state of Virginia. What we need in this country is voters too. I mean all the people who died of covid who's going to fill the voter polls if the democrats don't give these refugees a free life. I'm certainly not going to sit around and let the govt tell us that we need a wall to stop anyone from going anywhere. I mean walls. They are just going to hop and a boat and come right over. Granted you may have to go through customs but that's what I'm saying you need to be able to go and do what ever you want in any country at anytime. Who's to tell me where I can and can't roam on planet earth and what govt agencies will or will not provide me with care for my unborn child. We need a revolution and it start with walls. I'm going to start with my bedroom wall. And work my way up the ladder. I say no to all walls. Even the ones in swimming pools. I say if your a red blooded patriotic American you need to start planning a trip to the border to tear down that exist racist wall that is keeping those south Americans, Chinese, Russian, and Romanian refugees from coming here with ease. The cartel may not be happy with this but we need to make sure that every person from any country no matter what the situation can freely cross any border at any time. It only makes sense.

Why come to place where most people don't want you here? Why come to a place that itself is in turmoil? What do you hope to find here? Especially when you are here illegally and constantly have to fear normal society so you aren't deported. I just don't get it. Running from Crime, corruption and poverty only to come here and add to the crime and poverty.

Ah how white people came running into America to get away from great British

Ive been working my ass off to pay for my documents for legality, paid taxes yearly and just comply to whatever is needed for immigration. Now im a US citizen. And this people just think they can just walked in without legal papers pisses me off. Come on people we all have different struggles in life, but we have to do the right thing! Even if youre inside the US you cannot have a decent job and no company is gonna accept you if you dont have legal papers. Therefore you cannot open a bank account and you cannot build your credit and get a place to stay. Theres too many homeless here already. Just do the right thing! The govt cannot save you all.

This doesn't move me with sympathy, it moves anger in me. My family and I were homeless in the U.S. all because I decided to further my education with a school who claimed to be accredited and all this stuff but quickly found out it all was a sham....so in not securing my deposit on a new place or being financially able to fight an eviction were the property basically got paid twice for bs they didn't handle...all because the irs took my income tax which I was depending on being I just started a new job and had 3 weeks before my first paycheck...we were on the street....everywhere I turned was a wait-list and no one I mean no entity would help us..... claiming lack of funding or some proof of homelessness other than papers proving your eviction....just so many ridiculous things....it took us a while to get off the streets and this is kids born on this soil....with a citizen who never been in trouble with the law, 3.8 gpa, educated and motivated and employed.....on the street and although now we have a roof as U.S. CITIZENS still struggling to find our footing....and STILL NO HELP...NOT A FOOD STAMP NOTHING and the lights are out due to the landlord....soooo I'm not sympathetic of these people....I struggled and still struggling in MY OWN COUNTRY WITH NO HELP FROM MY COUNTRY....GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND FIGURE IT OUT.....

This is an invasion, do not let your heartstrings get pulled to the fact that the cartel is running this Mass migration so that they can do a quick burst of fentanyl and murderers into your country, I know your first instinct is to feel sorry for these people but, it's hard to root out the good from the evil and that's what they're hoping on

We cannot save people from other countries when we have our own people drowning! Our own veterans homeless! Our own people not being able to afford rent anymore! Our tax money needs to help our own people first. The day our people are doing well then we can help but until then we need to focus on our own. I cant even afford a home with my husband due to the cost doubling-tripling! And our health insurance is $800 A MONTH! Employee provided! We dont make 6 figures even so how is it fair they would get free medicaid while we pay hundreds. Its not fair.

These damn people are pushy and will not listen I've had to deal with illegals they are going to do as they please when they get in here

F*** that Hispanic Patrol border puto today when our people cross we going to help and get to this side f*** the government f*****-up police and border patrol agents we together they stand nothing against

So they took a bus train? How did so many people get there from Venezuela? That's a long long trip!
