I understand their situation, BUT, they need to do legally period . I came to this awesome country long time ago, though a legal port of entry, I never used a penny of Canadian taxpayer money, I raised my self up, , I work very hard, I live a wonderful lifestyle with my family, now, my country Canada ??, this country given a lot , but , I pay my fear share to the government, taxes.

This has been going on for 2 years every day at multiple locations along the border FOX news has reporters there and do daily segments talking to people crossing over they show it all no holding back the sad and ugly parts the trash they leave behind the different wristbands they wear from the cartels they paid children without parents land owners who have had their lives threatened their livestock killed their property destroyed, deaths by drowning in the day and night rescues made in the dangerous places of the river, the count is up to 173 different countries of people crossing in many with no birth certificates or identification even Newsmax & OAN have reporters there there are many independent journalists trying to bring awareness to this from day one of Biden opening the border when he took office ????

They get more in their free checks when they get here than ppl get in a disability check from working all their lives.... Pisses me off.\nTrump forever ....

No one cares that all these people have their lives on pause over shit out of their control and just want a safe place to stay

This is really sad,but all these things are ?? Gouberment's faults by inviting them to come over if they have a sponsor,so now They'll come with or without it. People don't understand that We are struggling to make a living ourselves already here,Jesus!

No body sees the fact that all the illegal immigrants in this country pay taxes through living expenses and a lot of times wages but they don’t get to draw retirement…

These people were told, that they were going to get it after the fire at the immigration center in Mexico, where 39 people lost their lives, only to be taken back and this why these happened. It feels like it was done in purpose to feed the right wing narrative that there is a crisis at the border, when the real crisis is the system's lack of personal to processs their Asylum forms.

Desperate people do desperate things, and may take absurd risks out of fear. These people, PEOPLE, are likely terrified of what happens to them in the lawless cartel-controlled border areas... Scenes like this that demonstrate such desperation break my heart. \n\nI don't think anyone watching this would do anything different if their choice was between trying to escape exploitation, robbery, rape, and murder, and getting arrested by Americans who will, at least, respect their human rights (mostly).\n\nDo people really think that any significant proportion of these poor, dispossessed, desperate people, and their children, are criminals trying to infiltrate and take advantage of the US, rather than hoping and praying for a place to live, a decent job, basic dignity, and some safety and human rights?\n\nBut, y'know, let's be honest. There are a lot of Americans that only see brown people 'invading' 'our land'... I wonder how Native Americans feel about this, eh? (Seriously, I'd like to know... Anyone?)

During the 1930's media in various countries made immigrants and asylum seekers out to be this horrible thing and demonised them. This came after a huge recession in 1923, the Wall Street crash, and the subsequent dramatic rise of far right parties in various countries, specifically Italy, then Germany and Spain. \nFast-forward to modern times. 2008 saw another global recession. Once again politics swung massively to the right with countries like Italy (once again), Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden, voting in right wing governments, France ending in a run off that narrowly defeated the far right, Belgium and Spain looking likely to be heading into heavily right wing governments at the next elections, whilst the US and UK governments both saw their politics swinging far further in that direction, especially the UK right now whilst led by an unelected leader who is demonising people in ways that would make Trump look soft. One of themajor rallying calls: immigration. The way media report on this becomes increasingly demeaning and hateful. During the 1930's much of the European media and even as far as the UK was ramping up the scorn against the ever increasing influx of Jewish immigrants coming from Germany. Even into 1944 there was a vast amount of demonisation of them seeking asylum, despite the knowledge by this point that there were horrific conditions in camps where extermination was becoming ever more apparent. The Nazi German government in 1936 passed laws that enabled them to revoke citizenship and stripped away laws on human rights. It would be great to say that these poor souls who were being demonised in their own country were accepted into nations who could see what was going on and who wanted to help, but that just wasn't the way it went. Media played out as it is now, leading to rejection and a greater number of deaths as a result of this. The way the UK government is currently working, it actually sounds like the maxi government of the mid 30's during the time of the Nürnberg laws. \n \nThe world feels far smaller now with double the amount of people and with things like social media playing a huge role in the lives of many. The ease of access to people around the world has made issues seem to stretch to far more countries now, whereas back then it was a time of empires. I get that there will be many here who support Trump, many who support Biden, there will be Brit's who support Sunak and the rather vicious words of Suella Braverman, whilst others will be more on the side of Starmer (I'm well aware of all the other parties but they don't stand to gain as much). There will be French people backing Macron, whilst others back Le Pen. We could go through each country all the way to the battle between Fujimori and Castillo in Perú, and the stories are much the same, but how will history judge us when people look back to this time? Will it be another occasion where we demonised those trying to escape the horror of the place they had the bad luck to be born in whilst we were luckier? \n\nI know there is hardship everywhere. I'm struggling more than most and I know I can't keep living this way. However, I don't want to be a part of history people look back at and say ‘if only they did something to help prevent this.’. I would rather be a part of history people look back upon and say; ‘that was a boring time period where nothing important happened’. It's already too late for that. Instead I try to remember that, though I was born into a family who never really wanted me, I was lucky enough to be born into a country that could support me during the hardest times. When you look at immigrants, remember that every one of us has immigrants in our family tree somewhere.

The Same Thing That Happened To Innocent Folks Peacefully Protesting For BLACK LIVES MATTER Should Of Happened To They Ass & Worse. They’re Rushing The Damn Border But The Folks Who Suppose To “Protect” The U.S Not Shooting They Ass ?

If we have a high demand in labor for manufacturing and physical labor sure. But, like American ourselves are living paycheck to paycheck. If we take them in we have to subsidize them money from our tax dollars.

As a Hispanic that lives in the mentioned area these damn people need to go and do this kind of bullshit revolutions over in their country, in my opinion that was an invasion and invasions are repelled with force. Mexico is fed up with them as well ask any one in Mexico and they’ll tell you how they tear shit up anywhere they go

Those that have a stable status in their country will never know how hard is to be in a situation where you need to leave your country or they will kill you just because. And other that live in a country where democracy doesn't exist. I play that God and Jesus help this people that help this migrants. And I play that all those in search of peace and a country to call home can find it. In Jesus name I play amen.

It's a real pain being blind even for a moment in our lives. Maybe this is our falt? They are just like you and I . It was easy to spot the shades characters.

Live rounds

This is all Joe Biden and his people. Just to let y'all know face book is showing shit on live feeds telling everyone to come. what the fuck Joe what is up with that.

America… for the love of God please start protecting OUR OWN borders instead of worrying so much about other country’s borders around the world!! The left is so worried about being woke instead of taking care of the Americans who pay for all of it. I’ve busted my A$& all my life to work hard and am tired of spending billions of dollars on foreigners who just abuse our systems and get free money, phones, places to live, medical care, food, etc. and act like we owe them. It’s bad enough we have enough actual citizens who abuse the system because they are too lazy to work and care for themselves. I’ve always been one to care for others but this crap has gotten out of control and I’m done. It also makes the US look like a bunch of weak SUCKERS!!!

A majority of them probably just want to live in a free land.and not Venezuela

As long as people vote for democrats, this will continue to happen. The people pushing for no border like celebrities and politicians.... don't live near the border.

Honestly I didn’t know about this! I’ve been living in the US since I was a child. I’m still an illegal here in the US but because of this segment now I know where to cross to Canada! Thank you! Those numbers will hit higher thanks you this segment! Let’s gooo! F$ck trump

Deploy live ammo

I feel for them. I really do but where are they gonna go? People are struggling to find places to live who were born here plus all the homeless population. Where do these people think they’re gonna go? I know if I were born in a third world country I’d be wanting to get into America as well so it’s just sad all around to see

Bro!!! Y’all were asking Americans to sponsor a white Ukrainian so they could live comfortably in the US!!! You guys are shameless with your support to whites!!! Lmao!!!! Gtfo with your bs! Whip the whites too bro!!!

We go down there to Mexico to visit and they kidnap for ransom or kill us, but they wanna come to our country and live a good life we should start doing them how they do us!

What are they coming here for ?? There are millions of Americans who cant find anything to live off of

Anywhere else in the world they would’ve met live ammunition.

Fuck this makes me want to be a border patrol agent for free, I’m all about better lives but let’s do it the correct way. We need people here that want to prosper and make a difference not moochers off the system but yet again it’s what liberals and democrats want so that the ignorant lazy people can keep voting for them.\nMAGA ??

I'm American, born and raised I'm homeless , living basement of my brother house , can't work fell off a roof broke leg and foot , I can't get no help from my own government, why do illegal immigrants get help but not us

My parents migrated from Mexico and lived a hard life to cross and live in the US for the past 45 years. Idk why these Venezuelans think they have the right to just run into the country and have everybody expect them with open arms

If we keep letting in every person from every other country we will lose everything we value and hold dear to our lives. We have homeless Americans with drug addiction so they can numb out the fact that they have lost everything. We have families in mass living in their car's, veterans ignored and tossed aside like garbage. Empty house's in every state that the government can buy and section8 them we look to China and other countries for electronics ect; Detroit shut down for Toyota to ship in their vehicles. Yet the news shows us this crap, can the government please fix the USA and make it America the great again!!!!?

US Army invaded almost every Latin American country. Those people are following THEIR wealth. I am a 5th Generation US born Mexican descent living in OCCUPIED Mexican territory. Let's just face facts white folks.

As an hispanic that went through the process to live in the US legally this is disgusting. These are the same people that fucked our countries and now they are coming here to try to fuck America. I have seen how they bring their shitty behavior and bad habits. If you come to the US do it the right way and also follow the fucking rules, learn english and contribute to the society. An immigrant should be someone that adapts and contributes to a society that we didn’t build. Also, I bet some of those are criminals with horrible crimes committed in their countries.

United states loves installing pro corporate puppet dictators in 3rd world countries as wellxas destablizing the nation through various policies. And then here comes intellectually lazy americans talking shit about these poor families trying to escape for the sake of their children and themselves?? You ppl really aint shit. You ppl hardly can name 5 ppl in charge of your local governments. But i bet you can recite all the names on your favorite foot ball team. Pathetic world we live in. Least you can do is make sure your leaders are held responsible for causing such destablization in south america. But nope ignorance is bliss. Its easier to be heartless towards the less fortunate. The have nots.

We're polite and nice until we're taken advantage of or treated like an idiot! Kindness is important, but doing what's morally right is more important to me personally! So if that means me speaking up or calling out bs when I see it, I will! I do believe in giving each person their own clean slate. I adjust according to the person! That just means I don't assume anything about a person based on race, the job they have, the car they drive, how they look, the clothes they wear. Those things have no bearing on how I choose friends! It's all about the content of one's character! I do keep to myself most of the time but strive to be kind and polite when I'm around others! But everyone is different. You will run into aholes anywhere you go! Canada is NO EXCEPTION. You have to be careful still about how you move. For example as an indigenous woman I don't go out alone after dark. You can't just trust anyone and leave yourself vulnerable because you never known what someone's intentions are. You can find people that are so unkind. You can also find some of the nicest people in the world here. I imagine the same can be said about any country. Our government certainly doesn't represent us personally. We all have our own personalities and lives! And I don't judge others based on their race religion or their government at home! When I was a kid there was no shortage of people letting me know I'd never amount to anything. So yeah you can find aholes anywhere you go! Please don't leave yourself vulnerable and assume everyone here has good intentions! Especially if you travel alone! We still have a lot of issues you probably never heard of! You have to be careful anywhere you go! ❤

Some of you people commenting needs to be sent to the places these immigrants came from and live there in their place for years to see what it was like for them. Some of you people, if the shoe was on the other foot, you would be trying to do the same thing that they are trying to do. Grow a f'n heart. And ban me CBC for abbreviating a swear word, I don't care. You did years ago for less. No f'n freedom of speech any more!

Lol where you gonna go y'all just gonna live in the woods or some shit not enough room find your own

Father, I ask that you wrap your arms around our Brother’s and Sister’s this afternoon.. Please talk to them and bring guidance into their lives with your Word.. Father, I ask that you please help them understand that they should try coming in legally.. Father, I ask that you please provide for any needs that they may have and I ask that you please bring blessings into their lives so that they may be a blessing for others.. In Jesus name, I pray.. Amen!!!

When can we start shooting and it be legal? That's illegal entry so I hold the right to defend my country from and enemy domestic or FOREIGN! stay the fuck home and fight your cartel. Take back your own lives and family's happiness and fight for your land. Fuck the cartel

It is so hard a woman with baby and children ir a parent with children who can the solve the problem of finical???? \nI hope to people find a way to enter to canada and make a life more easy without problems. If you jot open the door jobiden you give money to pocket of refugee in roxham road . \nIm so sad for this . \nPlease pray for them? ?

Crazy madness. Our border patrol put their lives on the line every working day.

No wonder theirs like 4 families living in one house hold we're over populated

NOTHING has changed!! The RCMP still let them in and just say that they “might” be returned to the US. As for the illegal immigrants- they still feel 100% entitled to come to Canada, enter illegally, and live the easy life “for free” at the expense of Canadian taxpayers. Not only that, but once they are in Canada, they then send for the rest of their family. Got eleven kids? No problem, just walk across at Roxham Road because everything is for free for everyone in Canada.

so if they migrated here they have money,no freebies then,ive lived off my retirement savings for years,havent taken a dime in social support ,my parents emigrated here legally and and had to return home due to unemployment several times only to finally get settled here

Long overdue. Send the ones who came here before illegally back Trudeau. We simply afford to fund and welfare these people for the rest of their lives and their posterity as well. Having said that,leave their countries alone so they can thrive.

cant even house & feed or support the canadians that were born and raiseds here in canada yet they can let thousands of immigrants into canada and house feed and supply them with our tax dollars. while we have citizens living on the streets seniors they cant pay for food or pay their bills ? its sickening

Arrested, code for we will detain you and then give them living expenses and paperwork. We are all being suckered.

A problem Trudeau created. And tries to get glory for after the fact. Not going to Niagara anytime soon. Hotels are over run. Sadly. Its a shame not going to a hotel where people are living. Worked on the road in ontario. And know to avoid those places. Yet alone with my children.

And it’s BS like this that is slowing down my wife’s visa request to move to the United States so I’m forced to live in her country with her while we wait for her visa.
