These are not “huddled masses yearning to breathe free”. These are not refugees. These are entitled invaders from all over the world, and they’re behaving exactly the way I thought they would- like animals. Refugees are supposed to stop in the next safe country they come to. That’s not what’s happening here.

You guys are just coming here to Canada to see what you can use to advance your life so you're full of complaints. You have no care, loyalty or roots here. You're not entitled to be accommodated spoiled bratty people. \n\nImmigrants come here use up the resources and at the same time don't care about the community and bettering it which creates worsening conditions. None of you will fight for better public transportation... because you're not really going to live here, its not really your country.\n\nAs far as Quebec is concerned the Federal government stays silent out of fear of Quebec separating not silent racism. How arrogant that you think you know what's really going on girl.

This is an invasion of our country and they should have border patrol as well as military STOP these self righteous jerks at ANY cost! They are welcome to come LEGALLY abiding by our laws! This is what happens when you have incompetent persons in the WH.

Smh no one wants them\nTo come in but we need undocumented workers. How will our country survive without them. The strawberries your eating were pulled by undocumented worker.

I have come to the conclusion that we as black people should never expect anything more from white people. Do our best to repatriate two countries that we are not the minority and whites are not the majority. ?❓

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.

This spits in the face of all the people who had to go through the processes to become a legal citizen..also if they can bum rush the border with thousands how come they can't form a militia and take back there own country from the cartels and corrupt gov...also allowing this is treason

Trump and Biden destroyed the economy of Venezuela and Cuba and Haiti. Our Politicians have an agenda to destroy economy on nearby countries so their people will be forced to leave their country and come to USA.

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

This happens because Americans love drugs. The drugs come from countries these people are leaving. The reason why they are leaving is because the drug cartels are making lives a living hell. Stop taking drugs and in 10 years this issue will stop. Not gonna happen though because Americans are only interested in their own personal high.

We can't afford them they gotta go back home sorry come on America there's way to many people in this country???

Jesus that's shocking . Shows you how bad the southern countries have come still so desperate with tears in their eyes to come to the US ! When it's so bad here to begin with ! We should count our blessings we are lucky to live here in the US .

Listen to them talking shit, like we did something to them! You want those dissidents coming into your country?

My father fled his country to fight Islamic extremist in Afghanistan and Iraq. He fought and sacrificed his life for this Country. Because, He understood what opportunity awaits in the US of A. But it doesn’t come free. If you do things as should, follow the process. Asylum or Not. Follow the process!!!

If they want to come make them do the entire legal process then sure come on over but this stuff is complete bs and i truly dont want you here if you cant do it. We have enough morons breaking rules over here we dont need more from another country. Plus its hard enough for us americans to find housing/jobs already. Just stay in mexico or go somewhere else youre NOT wanted here.

THIS IS OLD NEWS MOST OF THESE ILLEGALS ARE IN OUR COUNTRY ALREADY. BIDEN AND MYORKA R TO BLAME. AND THEY KEEP ON COMING. MOST OF THESE CAME IN RIGHT BEFORE TITLE 42 ENDED BUT NOW WITH TITLE 8 THEY R STILL LETTING THEM IN.

They need to love there country and make a difference we don’t need immigrants as they come in whole in are country

To those who called Trump a racist for building a wall, he is not racist its for situations like this. Now America and Canada can't even afford to house and take care of their own citizens, so all these illegals coming in and flooding the housing markets, the social services benefits and criminals from illegal immigrants flooding our streets with cartel drugs, prostitution, extortion, over populated criminal justice system, and they aren't even legal or gone threw point of entry at the border. How is that racist? Its not racist its just trying to prevent all systems from being flooded with illegal immigrants. It doesn't matter what country they come from or the color of their skin. Its about protecting the American and Canadian way of life.

the military down there treated like an invasion into the country and let the River Run Red they'll get the message nothing says you're not welcome here like hot lead going down rain that's how you fix that problem after that or build a dam Canal from California to Texas Gulf of Mexico 40 Mi deep 20 mi wide with one Bridge a drawbridge that goes up we can build new shipping ports brand new refinery have a coast guard and the Navy base along with the Border Patrol and their and the u.s. cargo ships don't have to go all way down to South America between saltwater crocodiles in the lemon shark that'll take care of the whole thing watching for us and the water going down to Mexico from the US can stay in the US build a new power down interrogate the Southwest and that'll take care of the water problem so how about that that fix the whole damn situation and then you can start by getting that dumbass out of the White House I see that wasn't really all that hard then second quit giving foreign aid to countries that hate us build America by America and start making America first start with families coming back together and then from there make the community and the communities make the country man united like we did back in the days of WWII because that's what it's going to take dust off the the Bible and get back to work

They don't understand we can't afford to house them all right now, they're pushing the United States into the brink of collapse. So you coming to a country to turn it into the one you're flying from

Immigration -coming to live permanently in a foreign country.\nInvasion-an incursion by a large number of people

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.

Liberals want them to come, and they want them to vote. All so we can become as f*cked up as the countries these people are fleeing to begin with

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.

But why here not saying y’all aren’t wanted here but so y’all not see the state that this country is in right now?? We are 1 school shooting away from a national riot we are 1 elected official away from falling into a dystopian state we are 1 more billion away from our government shutting down the housing market is trash the car market is trash people can’t find jobs or aren’t getting paid enough people are getting shot in the streets or strangled on trains we are being threatened by North Korea and Russia every other day why come here? I mean it can be worse but then again… could it really?

USA is like a 3rd world country now that all theses foreigners coming over here

The mass immigration year upon year that is changing our country beyond recognition sets the stage for this kind of thing. Any attempt to restrict, channel, and control the flow is seen as an unfair, racist crackdown, as if everyone had a God-given right to come to the US. How did we get to this place?

a great nation, need a great wall...huge ethnic group people keep coming will make a country collapse... that already happened in Chinese history during 420ad. Americans need to think about it.

I have read a lot comments in this video short and i can saw stupid oppinios about this situation this people dont have money to arrive to US in a Airplane becouse they need visa a second they crossed a lot latin american countrys that country are dangerous you dont have any idea how is to have that type of experience and never you will have becouse you are american or you had the opportunity to inmigrate to us ok that cool for you but this people dont have that chance im tired to see racisn from american people to latin american im tired about all the the american you can come to my country and you dont need visa to but if want to go to US (gringolandia) i need it visa is injust im tired about that situation im tired the american people you believe are owner of the world etc im tired to see that things becouse USA its nothing Whit US whit the latin american inmigrant becouse we did the jobs you dont wanna it like diswhasher roofing etc the americans they prefered work in office thats the reallity and the true and im Latin american and proud hay que darnos a respetar ya con estos gringos ellos ya mucha paja han agarrado con nosotros que se jodan hay que darnos a respetar ya

The US destroyed most of there country’s that’s why people are coming

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.

Image your paying tax to feed this illegals immigrants? They want to come in our country and live by our tax money???? Please send back all this illegals immigrants

Many of these immigrants come from countries that the USA have sanctions on. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world ? more than Saudi Arabia, but the US won't lift the Sanctions. Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, Columbia, El Salvador, Guatamala all of south America are RICH in natural resources. But they are most impoverished places on earth. Corruption is a big factor but so is China, SAUDI ARABIA (Middle East) America 's lover, and we kiss their as*

Were a broken country, people who tell these immigrants to come here are lying amd misinformed. We can barely take care of our own. They have been lied to and we cannot just let them in. The american citizen cannot support any more illigals. Fly them back home.

Enough off this bs. They have no right to come. My family and I waited for 5 years just to get a appointment for an interview in another country just to try to come here.send them all back.

nice, more immigrants wanting to come to a country that was built on immigration lol ?

look at all that energy and enthusiasm they have. imagine if they applied that to fixing their own country instead of coming here because Facebook told them they're going to get a bunch of free shit.

Yeah tell me again how y'all got it under control. I'm not a fan of violence but I bet you you start shooting people that come across the border but don't do it the right way I bet you would stop, I bet you pull a firearm out right now and start unloading even into the air. They do this shit because they think America is a goddamn joke and they know you're not going to do anything?. This is where our country has turned into. Shit this ain't even my home country and I'm disappointed in you all???

Why tf do they want to come into our country so bad? Is it that bad in Mexico?

There’s nothing more ignorant then when people like this come to our country whether legally or illegally and then while living here they wave a big damn flag of their country of origin and talk about how great and awesome their country of origin is…..oh yeah? Then why did you run away from it? What a bunch of ignorant dumb assess…..if your gonna be here at least don’t be so proudly waving your country’s flag like if that peace of shit country did anything for you. This is America and yes America is founded by immigrants of all types but while this country gives you everything the only flag that you should be proudly waving is the American flag and nothing else, or at the very least the American flag should be the biggest flag you should be waving and try to learn some English, that way you don’t feel like people are taking advantage of you. If you were grateful and somewhat smart the last thing you wanna do is wave some other flag other then the American flag.

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 think I’m speaking for every American when I say I’m tired of this every country has its own issues but it’s not our job too take you in because of that Americans come first!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry why does America have to fix everyone else problems..we can't even fix our own corrupt government seriously..you all need to fight in your own country... this country is getting out of control already and over populated...why is it always america and at are expense..fix and do something with your own country and government..why do we have to always get involved and hated ...then we let them in, give them hand outs then a lot of them are ungrateful and put the people that actually grew up here from generation to generation get treated bad..I'm all for the borders and eviction needs to happen..we should all get along but not this way..\nFix and fight for where you were born in... this is Insanity.. the whole world is going nuts..we are in the last days and Jesus is coming ready for war...be ready put him first and find him before it's too late

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.

You better learn Spanish now, because soon nobody will speak English in America.\nThank you, Sleepy Joe.\nBy the way I came legally to America in 1981 at 15 yrs old. I came from a Communist country called Nicaragua and I thanked my new country by being sworn in as a Marine in 1986. Became disabled in 1989.\nThese people are purposedly coming to America to completely destabilize this great country.

Please let us to drain your resources! This has to stop, personally I think they should be treated as invaders when they are trying to force their way into our country. And before I see any snowflake tears coming my way, I’m Hispanic ?

the USA fed with all these south American country's. every addministration including JFK has messed used and ignored all these countries. that being said gtfo of my country you should not want to come here. oh ya your all Catholics also. Hummm

This is really tragic, but it doesn't seem like anyone is asking what can be done in Mexico, or Venezuela or Guatemala, or wherever, to help create an environment where people can be safe and have real economic opportunity there? This is not good. There is a reason these people are risking life and limb to flee their home countries trying to come to the US.

These people need to have a civil war in their own countries to free themselves from tyrants just like Americans did. Stop thinking that coming to this country will give you a better life. Start thinking, We need to sacrifice for our children and generations after us in our own country. It’s simple and it works. Many people need to sacrifice themselves to better their families. It’s a shame not many are willing to accept it and actually do it.

Our country's coming apart and they're dying to get in. The gates open at midnight so the worst is a ticking time boom...
