It depends upon where in the US. You couldn't pay me enough to move to CA, NY, or IL. However, if I had a job offer and could get a green card, I would move to FL or TX in a heartbeat. My friend and his wife have been looking at houses in FL near Tampa. They are almost half the price of what they are in London, ON. As far as shootings, these people forget about the shootings and stabings in Canada. A mother of two was shot in what some think may have been a turf fight between two drug dealers, and she just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In Vancouver, a father was stabbed to death in front of his family at an outdoor cafe. At least in the US, you can protect yourself. In Canada it is illegal to have mace, or pepper spray, let alone carry a gun around.

We have lots of guns in Canada... Overall we do it better. our firearm crime is from illegally smuggled firearms from america... ALSO our biggest issue with our firearm laws is that the government keeps targeting legal owners for no logical or stat based reasons for political points instead of focusing on actual issues.

Tyler, with complete respect you DON'T get why we generally have no interest in moving to the US. You constantly talk about 'you just have to find the right place to live'. True of anywhere, but here the choice would be about preferences and afordability, NOT to avoid gun violence or shunning because of political views.\nThere is no where in Canada I could move to where gun violence would be a big factor to consider (we have rough places, and gun violence, but STRICT gun laws). Let me give you some perspective. In 2019 the USA had 37,038 gun related deaths. (No other causes of death- JUST all gun death). In Canada, in 2019, our death by illegal means (which does include suicide, as it is illegal) was 5,874. (That is for ALL types of homicide, not just guns). And the government was shocked by the increase that year and tightened gun restrictions further.\nYou talk about having certain States more Red or Blue. We aren't bi- partisan, so our politics are a melting pot. You might have people you disagree with everywhere you go, but you will also always find an equal group who thinks similar (unless your an extremist). And even the people who think different will generally agree to dis- agree. There is next to nowhere in Canada where your political views would get you run out of town. \n\nYou are USED to thinking like an American. (Fair, your American; I think like a Canadian) Trust me, as a Canadian, there are aspects of the accepted American culture (your country's way of life) that is boarderline terrifying to people here.

I’ve lived in both countries in small towns and big cities Hell No Thanks and I would have great insurance. I remember in preschool having to do active shooter drills in the US nope. If you look at stats on gun violence and mass shootings it’s crazy. The US leads by an astronomical amount. Tyler says the US has more access to guns and although I have no idea where to get a gun I think people could get one pretty easily but we don’t need them. I can walk in the dark and not fear for my safety and Canada has only had 3 mass shootings in its whole history. Of course medical, dental, education, women’s rights, maternity and paternity leave, unemployment, help when Covid lockdown happened, clean free water in homes, housing, … on and on. America the “free” is antiquated and no longer true. Education has slid to 30 something in world rankings and Canada is in the top 3. Cost of education, daycare, child benefits ect. I could write paragraphs. Also it’s hilarious when you hear American say oh we’ll just moved to Canada like they can just drive here and settle down?!?there’s a border and you can’t illegally just move here and get a job. If you’ve lived in both countries you’d know the difference. I don’t even want to vacation there anymore since about 10 years or so ago.

They'll all get insurance, housing and a government check for being an illegal immigrant all the while I cant even get a free ?

U can illegally cross the border into the US, u can organize hundreds of people to cross illegally how is that not an attempt to invade the US and handled by the military at that point, that’s invasion of a country and an act of terror in my eyes, send a couple warning rounds and they will turn around

We need to take care of our own homeless people first, before a bunch of illegal immigrants flood the country and vote for psycho lefts

They do not help Canadian born why you didn’t research that before you enter illegally in this country or as a refugee? Canadian born young people at universities are sunk in student loans while this government give tons of money to others this country lost its North

Is Canada first safe country for those people? If not, then why call them refugees? But illegal…

If these people put forth the same amount of effort shown here into there own country. They wouldn’t see a need to illegally cross into ours.\n\nAlso, those concerned about food and water for these people. I see a lot of clean clothes people and ladies with some done up hair considering they just marched across 1000 miles or more of desert

No one would cross the Russian border like that they would all be shot. Only the enemy Wood Cross illegally. How easy would it be for the Taliban or isis to attack from a unprotected border?

SEND THEM BACK, \nWe hardly can have a good life in our own country, NO housing, NO healthcare Insurance, NO good jobs and in NY, they are giving the illegal immigrants housing, food and healthcare, we are the US citizens,hard working and tax payers we can’t get any of these, we have to pay for it all , unbelievable. \nWhy are we keeping quiet About this?

Shoot first . Ask questions later. They are breaking into my homeland. Illegally. They are only comming for the freebees.Were not getting the good ones the doctors.lawyers.nurces.

As far as I’m aware Venezuela can be really dangerous to live in. I might do the same thing if I was born there especially as a woman or someone with children. But even men want to live. Easy to say that you should band together to overtake corruption but harder to do it when your life is directly on the line. I wouldn’t want to lose a father grandfather brother or son even for the sake of my country. This is coming from a Texan. I’ve had illegals do my lawn care and construction. Many are just trying to make a living. They sit outside all day long in the summers by my local post office waiting for people to come by and ask them to work. Cheap prices, too.

Americans First! We have a pandemic of homelessness already that our own government turns a blind eye to. Yet allow millions of illegals who will live here in our tax dollars. Get these people out of public offices. If they're not for us. They're against us. Biden administration is destroying America!

We have people waiting in the streets for years to get permanent housing now you have millions of illegal immigrants that Joe says they're going to get housing they're putting them in motels for thousands of dollars a week this is absolute insanity

Send the army, deport anyone that made it over. Anyone that comes over illegally should be treated as a threat.

Housing will put a disabled American senior out on the street in hurricane season because landlords want 2x rent. They get 3x rent for illegals & housing will pay it.

Come on!!! This is old Footage!! By the way and I'm so sorry to whoever gets offended.\nIt's time for a bit of a slow down with the illegal entries already! \nTrust me I'm from NewYork and we are OVERWHELMED already! We also need to help our own first and for a change!

i love humanity, but jesus the amount of people defending illegal entry never made sense to me, its called illegal for a reason. if yall dislike America for not wanting illegal aliens in, then go change mexico for the better...

I look forward to a civil war...means free rain. Politicians, illegals, pedophiles, all free game

As an American citizen I support military reprisal for any illegal incursion as stipulated by law.

Look....I get it. I understand. I come from a family who also crossed the border illegally 40+ years ago. \nBut you guys....I'm sorry. We can barely find resources for ourselves now a days....?

We don't want anymore .\nMigrants in Canada,why is this happening and allowing this people to enter our country, illegally,sent them back to which they came we have enough problems

It’s ok…liberals want this. They even conflate legal and illegal immigration.

While immigrants are needed, massive illegal immigration would be destabilizing long-term. Legal immigration. Otherwise, why have visas? I feel bad for them, but there is also desperation in the US.

The sleazy Soros subversive way the open border, replacement voters grubbing, amnesty pandering, free healthcare baiting, asylum laws abusing, Democrats conspire with their illegal, line cutting, illegal economic migrants is a cruel, mocking, punitive, slap in the face to every honorable, self-reliant, patriotically assimilating, invited, legal immigrant who respected America's generous and welcoming immigration laws.

only illegals dems dont want. the ones escaping communism.

Blame your current president and vice president. I live in north central Texas. Texas has had 6 million illegals from 120 countries allowed into the US in just 2 months. Texas is struggling and Ole kick back Joe, gives the border cities WAYYY over what they can handle

Why doesn't cnn report on how most illegals coming in are from China and Iran, and the cartel members that use babies to get easier access into America then they leave them in the desert to die!

Americans love immigrants and despise illegal aliens. Where is the disconnect with federal agencies? Why do Latinos despise mexico?

I have no problems with immigrants I think that’s what america was built off of but it’s getting to the point where they are literally stealing and ruining our country! Overthrow ur fucking government tf are you doin comin over here ILLEGALLY n tryna overthrow ours? We here in America don’t even have enough houses or resources for ourselves but y’all think u can just force ur way in here n get handouts when the American people don’t get shit themselves. Gtfoh! This is how hate starts.

Welcome to the left bring in a large amount of people with my tax dollars illegally, the rest are gonna get mad and try to come illegally too, get rid of democrats the Democratic Party started in Russia the Soviet Union and you see how that turned out and now you wanna give democrats more power

Clearly they need help. We should help them. That's what America is all about. This is all because of Bidens new border policy and illegal border crossings are down literally 70%. Amd you would think the Republicans and GOP would be praising him for doing something they wanted that Trump never did for them. Biden is a conservative, a republican a Democrat whatever you want to call these people. They all switch sides back n forth and want the sake things. For corporations and the 1%, the very people responsible for the destruction of America, the middle class, and not to mention the planet, to get all of our taxes, to get subsidiaries when they screw us like the banks, wall street and airlines etc. To help these corporations exploit us as much as they can, people are working for these companies and living in the street. To keep them from paying their fair share in taxes. Education, infrastructure, investment, they do none of it they do not participate in our democracy they are all participating in socialism for the rich and mass greed. We can't afford a roof over our heads. We can't afford healthcare. We can't afford school. The rich are taking all of our money and lining their pockets, the corporstions pockets, the military complex, the police depts. Republicans and corporate dems have been rerouting our tax money away from public education and towards private charter rich people schools for the last 30 years. Our country is in trouble. Rich people are playing monopoly ruining our economy and our society.

Thanks Joe, your policies caused all this. How about we send all these illegals to Washington DC and let the US government deal with them?

I just love the propaganda effect t The news effect of it. Buying hotel rooms for illegal aliens to stay in? And for what? To take American jobs, and yall are worried about ai, a way to build up American dollars because it's worth more, to take it back to Mexico's economy instead of America's/American Indian's economy! I know how the game works. Before you know it our banks are closing, ma and pop's grocery store's closing, the gas station is an abc store and dry towns don't exist, the remaining jobs are being shipped over seas, until there goes America. When was this ever accepted?! Send forces. What I want to know is why aren't military troops shooting border jumpers? Hell might as well expand the borders to include South America since it's already the district of Columbia. At least then the money would still be going into America's economy.

And CNN helped cause this problem by promoting illegal immigration

We Texans would rather have illegals then California's real shit

Completely useless, and you know they’re all going to illegally vote for the dictator

They should've been popping of rounds in the air let them know what it means to cross over illegally

These illegal migrants r way to change vote mandate they first come then throw netizens out of white House politics . Loot netizens right nd taxes

You don’t have to be conservative to think illegal border crossing is a problem. Amnesty is the legal option for people wanting to cross. I welcome all who go through the amnesty process. Illegal entry is unacceptable.

They need AI century robot guards on turrets and a big draw bridge to keep the illegals out. That ain't right. Judge dred robot style ones

JOE BIDEN DID THIS .RUSH THE BOADER HE SAID IN HIS ELECTION SPEACH .HE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR BREAKING OUR LAWS AND HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED OVER THIS MASS ILLEGAL ENTRY ???

For everyone saying that they feel bad for these people and they just want to come and work and escape oppressive governments does not even understand that those reasons are irrelevant. If all these migrants where good people and there was enough space to house and feed them with burdening the tax payer great. But that's not reality, a lot of these people cross illegally, break into people's houses, rob, rape, kill, etc...If any of the media even bothered to go and interview anyone from the border towns and cities, they would realize how angry and frustrated they are, parents no longer send their children outside to play because some random people running through their yard steal and break into their houses, but this doesn't get reported on because it doesn't fit their narrative of these desperate migrants just want to work and live freely.

You all came here illegally Lol ? even if you were born on this continent ?

If and or when these people come in illegally, where do they go? How do they earn an income?

We need stronger borders. This is an outrage and the lack of respect these illegals have for the citizens is angering. In any other country if an American tribes that we would instantly get slapped spat on attacked ignored or worse. These people just think because it's America that they have every right. There is such a thing called as due process and this is outrageous.

So let me get this straight, Canadian truckers could. Not PEACEFULLY for their jobs WITHOUT the it BANK ACCOUNTS. and receiving jail time, their trucks seized BUT. T\nRudy BENDS for foreign students who are here illegally!! We all know our little Xi for\nS NOTHING for we CANADIANS. but the rest of the globe HE SERVES!!\nTime for a FORCED. ELECTION to rid ourselves and OzUR NATION of this POLITICAL SCUM!! 2:43

Thanks for nothing Biden. You take all these illegals into to your own homes. Practice what you preach old man.
