Obama ended refugee status for Cubans before he left office. Biden making Venezuelans wait in Mexico who are actually refugees fleeing a murdering dictator not just wanting to enter a country just to find a higher paying job. Why do democrats hate these two groups? Because they come from communist countries and when they gain the right to vote the tend to vote republican. Democrats are the party of hypocrisy

They probably dont realize who trudeau is working for otherwise they would turn back… Does mexico take european refugees? Cause im thinking about getting out of the netherlands because its no better here.. if im going to be dictated and oppressed into poverty might as well be somewhere sunny

This is the beginning,more economic refugees will leave America

The comments are full of racists. They do not know that Canada is a country of immigrants and refugees. There is no such thing as a Canadian race. All thanks to people coming from different countries.

si vienes de Usa no eres refugee

Refugees are good and take all those good but not the bad ones. Canada needs a population of hardworking 100 million in total.

CNN, your story is completely incorrect in every possible way. These are migrants which make them eligible for entrance into Canada to be evaluated. The police are informing them that the procedure is to be arrested and then they are lead through an evaulation process where they are assessed or denied refugee status. \n That is how refugees are supposed to be treated according to the 1951 Refugee Convention of the UN that Canada AND THE US not only signed but drew up. Nothing is in the Convention that says separating familiies is legitmate treatment, as has been done at the US southern border. \n It's OK CNN. I'm used to your feckless approach to journalism.

Everyone of these should be deported. Real refugees can come in normal border crossings.

Liberals: ms-13 crossing Southern border is refugees that need our help\n\nAlso liberals: Americans leaving communist new York for Canada are illegal border crossers\n\n??

These refugees will destroy the west by dragging it down to were they just come from

Why the fuck do we need to become a safe haven for refugees?????

Canada should build a wall and make the USA pay for it. Make Canada Great Again ? this is sarcasm. If the republican fascist party succeeds in their hostile take over of the USA then I to will seek refugee status in Canada ??

Canada should put a limit to number of refugees they can accept. We can do our part but we can’t openly let anyone in. With climate change, it is expected that the number of refugees with increase in the world. What will canada do then? Put a number limit now. It’s not a easy decision but someone has to take it.

So Canadian Police cross and you will be arrested. Okay let me take your bags… the F.\n Canada has the 2nd highest homeless rate of the G7 nations. We have the 2nr highest housing bubble. We cannot help our veterns who served and actually contributed to our way of life but we will find money and homes for illegal immigrants and refugees.

Lemme get this straight. South American migrants are trying to enter the USA in mass, others are leaving the USA to Canada as refugees, while people are leaving Canada to USA for better opportunities. Meanwhile both Canada and USA need more immigrants... What's going on here. ??

Reason to claim Refugee status: I feel I can have a better quality of life in Canada instead of staying in the US

When they experience a rise in criminality and foreigners trying to impose their religions and beliefs they'll regret being so open to refugees and migrants like it's happening now in Europe (specially in Sweden)

If they were refugees c n n would have been championing them

They are not refugees, they are criminals illegally crossing the border.

USA, Please keep the refugees and immigrants in USA. You need them anyway and people are dying running away from your immigration forces.

Why illegal migrants are categorised as refugees, asylum seekers? \nCanada points based immigration system whereby ppl pay a lot n wait for so many years to go to Canada feel cheated by Canadian govt. \nVery soon they end up like Belgium or Southern France. #fked

Ummmm did that refugee have a Louis Vuitton bag?!?!?

As long as more and more refugees move into Canada, racism cases will be increasing

The USA are a secured country, anyone trying to flee it through that illegal passage should not be considered as refugees, but as immigrants who are trying to get in illegaly. This is unrespectful to all those who are applying to come to Canada but are refused (for other reasons than serious ones). I know that no human being is illegal and everyone deserve protection, security and happiness, but come on, what danger are they fleeing from the USA?

Time to stop the steam of economic refugees in Canada

Then you have fkd up Canadian Gov't who wants to deport students who paid their tuition and taxes while working back to their countries. \n\nIllegal immigrants and refugees have better chances that people who try to get to Canada through proper channel!!!

These refugees did they watch the news in California and other states in US we see a lot of homeless, why they still thinking about American dreams. There are no dreams here. Those folks should tell their government to fix their problems.

I wish we could help all these people ??? the province i live in is so racist and biased against refugees. I can see the upset as it feels our government sometimes chooses to give them more support then their own people but imagine you wanting to get away from your country and everyone turning you around. ❤

Can in future the US government used Nuclear bomb to killed the refugee migrants Amem

Life under the Biden administration is not acceptable to refugees even after he Flys them in and puts them up in 3 and 4 star hotels all them votes he and the democrats were investing in !

are we supposed to feel sorry for economic migrants gaming the system, looking-for the best deal”I think I will have a better quality if life in Canada”; TRUE REFUGEES FROM WAR, PERSECUTION:yes, every person who wants a better deal—sorry get in line and apply for visas. STOP THE INSANITY AT BOTH-BORDERS . I am a life long dem and sick of this BS.

There NOT illegal for godsake there refugees from war torn countries

These two countries are truely the refugees breeding continents

Economic migrants are not refugees.

That’s fine…Canada LOVES refugees and ILEGAL aliens anyway! Ask Justin!!!

I was in chile a few months ago. Chile had accepted Venezuelan refugees. What most chilenos said was a lot of the Venezuelans were used to the government paying for everything (utilities, rent etc) so when the Venezuelans arrived at chile they were shocked they had to work. A lot of them did not assimilate well in Chile. Crime was high in Santiago Chile

I think I will go Iam a home owner will sell, get my money, and cross as a refugee ?

Pathetic … just let them into Canada for god sakes we’re all human , Canadian goverment should be ashamed of them self’s for not welcoming outsiders and needs to step up and show USA and the world that Canada can be the only country in the world that dominates above all others by providing a Safe Haven for ALL refugees

People chose between death or peaceful life ,and here some people still saying they should be turned around.Canada have a lot of land let people live .People who think they are real Canadians;your ancestors came here killing local people ,so be compassionate everyone has right to live peacefully.\nThey (refugees) might live poor here but will be safe .

I'm surprised taxes wasn't your first point as for most immigrants that's the most shocking thing about Canada is the insane amount of taxes we pay, as for the education thing I agree with our policy for example while I was studying Architecture a Syrian lady who came as a refugee had an engineering degree in syria in order for her to work in the field she needed a Canadian degree as she was knowledgeable she flew through the courses almost impeccably on the other hand there was an Indian civil engineer but he struggled in everything except the math, he confessed to another classmate that he bought his degree and was completely clueless, he failed out in the first year... in my mind its a good way to separate the professionals from the liars

Do you still believe US is the greatest country? However, you can’t blame the Us, they are helping these so called refugees looking for freedom. Support US to destroy other countries, this what we get.

Hey CNN \n It is not illegal to be a refugee.\n There is nothing illegal about crossing that border.\n The term you’re looking for is “undocumented”\n If you need someone to fact check your shitty journalism you should put out an add

Focus on Russia war , you said the systems were working for the last two years but still treating immigrants inhumane the same way Russia is doing to refugees and immigrants

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 high time Canada should put up electric fences on its borders, easy entry for criminals, terrorists, ...the government can not even feed, house, educate and provide employment to their own Homeless people, why accept Non Canadians. Well educated and skilled immigration applicants find it too diificult to legally migrate to Canada but ???? Assylum seekers too easy to enter Canada!!! Government increase taxes to support all these refugees and assylum seekers free of charge while Canadians can not cope with inflation..what an irony...

Question is why are people leaving the USA?\nCan't be a very good place to live if refugees don't even want to stop there

White countries like Canada and USA don't want anymore brown people unless there's world political gains like taking in refugees in a crisis.

Canada should work hard to keep those Ukrainian refugees on the Ukrainian side of the border.

*drugs?*\n\nas long as canada & the u.s.a continue to consume illegal drugs from south america, there will be influx of refugees

This policy encourages people (regularpeople, criminal) ?all around the world try to enter illegally to canada as a refugee, becuase to enter to Canada as a immigrant, you need to spend a lot of money, wait for 3 1/2 to 4 years (if you get 70 points, you will pass otherwise you are rejected), then you need to have money to come here to settle down and find a job (then you need Canadian experinece)...... abd so on. But as a refugee, all expenses is paid, you do not need to pay for rent, and so on... WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE TO ENTER TO CANADA!!!!????
