At what point do us citizens to start protecting our country, it's obvious the government doesn't care. This is beyond ridiculous. We don't want you illegals here! There is a legal way to do it if you want to be part of our country.

I don't have any issues with Sikhs, but I'm aligned with them not getting allowed to carry kirpans in public places. It might be a little unfair but it's for the greater good.\nKirpans can be used dangerously by that 1% people who are very short tempered/don't have self control in case of conflict/are mentally unstable.\n\nSikhs are usually responsible citizens but unfortunately there's no way to separate out the crazies from the general population

I've heard the GOP say they could solve this, but refuse to because this is a reason for U.S. citizens to dislike the current administration. So why didn't the former administration do so.

OK how far south is Venezuela?? Explain how they get all the way the fuck up here through all the other I don’t know countries?? I’m sorry, but my mom is not a citizen of this country but she got here legally. Done all the right shit learn the language you know all that fucking shit that you’re supposed to do so yeah I’m against all this bullshit Illegal crap.

If, America citizens had done that law enforcement would have sprayed them with chemicals and/or bullets

Jab ek citizen doosre citizen ko dushman samajhta hai. Andhbhakts Modi ji Modi ji jo (illiterate hai) saarey Bharat ko barbaad kar raha hai.\nDo you guys know the latest data about people leaving India is on rise every year! Why?

When we treat illegal immigrants better than veterans or US citizens, why wouldn't they risk everything to get here.?

You can't build a nation with a 10 year old kid, and a retired senior citizen... That is why you like it or not you need immigrants who able to do the job to save Canada, and make it a powerful nation in the future

If we kick the felonies out the USA that dont want a positive expungedment; then maybe we could have better citizens here.

Why do these people feel as though the United States and its tax paying citizens somehow owes them something?

U.S. citizens have every right to go to that border and spray bullets to defend our country. This is an invasion..

Federal government in Canada should stop this college b...t for this kids you don't have houseing for for citizens let alone anyone else you politions stop its enegh don't play democracy fullishness

I understand that America was built by immigrants but when is enough enough we have Americans homeless and hungry and I understand that they want to come here to find a better life but they don't want to pay taxes learn English basically they don't want to become citizens but expect us just to hand them things

wHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK? MORE TAXPAYER FUNDED SOCIALISM ,What about our own citizens living on the streets ? this is not helping homelessness , over 8 million illegals now in our country and our taxes keep getting higher and higher! This is no longer the America i once new and loved ...More Americans will needlessly die by the hands off some of these killers1

This has been happening far too long from the Central and South America countries. It is terrifying for American citizens.

Shouldn't have let them in in the first place, American government hardly takes care of American citizens, idfk why they're helping others

US can't accept every Latino who doesn't like things in their own country. As a taxpayer I won't support these people . The programs we have in place are for citizens. These people know all about these programs. That's why they want to bring their issues here.

We have plenty of housing. Just need federal laws setting pricing caps. I'm a US citizen, with a full time job. And I can't find shit for housing. The US sucks, because of our leniency towards capitalism

I do feel sry for those people, but theres few things we need to address.. if they get here.. how they are going to survive if we hardly have jobs for us..\nThey forgit that america is not longer a place of freedom, our leaders had 5urn us into democracy, iron walls.took our freedom of speach, teach our kids they are praying nouns n to disrespec their parents if they tell them something else, where christians are becoming the enemy and evil the friends.. the president is a child molester n his wife has to shutup, our unborn child is already mark with a death sentence, America is NOT longer the land of the freedom, and the braves.. America. Is worse than their own country, to die here i should die were i was born, sadly im american n see my country gong down hurts… people u are no one here just like we are.. \nwe work all out lives, n when we need help is denied, but imigrants not even an id to proced who they are are been gupiven, housing, food, medical and money, im disable working for america, n i cant even get food stamps cuz i was granted ne (1) lousy dollar ne time n the food stamps said i made enought dont need food stamps, but my neighbors is an imigrant, her husband work, they even pay for her house, n me i was told no help cuz im not old enough.. what u mean.. i dont say anything about my friend cuz shes my friend but we can keep housing those that never put a penny into our land. Why they get benefits n we dont? Again i feel sry for them i really do, but what about us..the real citizens of United States of Anmerica..??? The real Americans.. we work, we paid, n we die.. they dont do a thing n yet they get more than me..i only applied for food but she said u did a dollar extra this mo, we closin* your case.. but ne time food n one time that dollar..

Maybe if they put that much effort into fixing their homeland they wouldn't feel they need to be here. They gonna be in for a surprise when they find out the roads ain't paved with gold here. You make more money but you pay way more money to so what's the diff. I'm for freedom and humanity and I believe in helping the needy but at what point do you draw the fckng line. We can't even or wont even help pur own people we need to do that b4 worrying bout rest of the world. The extreme left I intentionally trying to drive our country into the ground it's clear now we need to wonder why? Maybe so it gets so bad we beg for their globalist or commy bs idk. ? but to me this looks damn near like an invasion why arent we poppin shots and throwing tear gas when we fckng shoot our own citizens just for running away and lock up people who protested the capital Jan 6th for months and years without any real charges. But we let a force of people bust thru our fckng INTERNATIONAL BORDER. Everything is so fckd right now its beyond sad.

They want to be citizens.

Mannnn..there's nowhere affordable for United States citizens to live.... is it even worse there?

Why are all these people leaving there countries all the countries that there are getting into needs to be finding out what going on we can't help all these people we have our veterans seniors citizens who need help not getting any

Citizens lives are being threatened. An invasion into our country,why can't the military be used.

Canada has become a stupid country! Giving immigrants everything free! While Canadian citizens and Veteran's that defended this country pay high taxes and are abused by the government!\nWe should all stop paying taxes!

When will the U S Come to their senses... American Citizens & Veterans are homeless...how much more can ppl sit back & take ...these illegals come in & immediately they're found shelter n money & whatnot ... very biased & unfair...

SOON WE AMERICANS CITIZENS WILL BECOME HOMELESS.

Idk what they're thinking, considering, we just had a huge problem the last time they did that??????? Our government is having so many issues providing housing and other necessities that people need. Also it's so many veterans, let alone U.S. citizens that are homeless and now us as tax payers have to worry about our money going into immigration funds to feed, cloth and house them, smh. Just because America is more peaceful than Venezuela doesn't mean that America has figured everything out for them. Thats selfish when America has its own issues.

How many mortgage frauds you and your clients undertook in last 15 years? People come and make money by manuplating and breaking the laws. I see people in brampton who dont even respect a red light. In Canada we live by rule of law and try to be law obedient citizens. I hope people learn to respect the rules ?

0:01: ?? Canada has a higher percentage of immigrants than the United States and is attracting young professionals in fields like engineering, medicine, and science. \n3:41: ? The H-1B visa process for immigrants in the US is challenging and uncertain, with limited spots available and a lottery system determining selection. \n6:09: ? The process of obtaining a green card in the US is complex and restrictive, with long waiting times and limited opportunities to change employers. \n9:24: ? High-skill workers prefer immigrating to Canada due to its transparent and predictable immigration process, immediate permanent residency, and equal treatment regardless of nationality, despite lower salaries compared to the US. \n13:06: ? The high cost of housing in Canada compared to lower salaries is discouraging immigrants from settling there, while the broken American immigration system is pushing them towards Canada. \n15:25: ?? Canada is pro-immigrant and supports a multicultural society, with a majority of its political parties and citizens in favor of immigration. \nRecap by Tammy AI

This is why I'm very adamant on my dreams to work in the US. I'm a US citizen because I was born there when my dad went to school for his doctorate degree. I feel very lucky to have that, and that is why I have a dream to live and work there. I know applying for a residence and work permit is a very difficult process to do. I would feel very stupid not to take this chance to live and work in the US.\nAfter a few setbacks of me not being able to go to college there (my parents wouldn't let me because they're not sure of letting me living alone there even though we have a relative there), my parents finally let me go there for work. I just now finished my masters degree, I hope I can make it there as well.

Canada is broken. Can’t even help it’s own citizens, let alone immigrants and refugees. Everyone deserves better than this. All the governments do is point fingers. Where’s the compassion in helping people ?

Sir applied Canada PR for my daughter. My brother and sister in canadian citizen. Means my daughter chacha ji and Bhuaa ji. Can my daughter get points of adaptability

I hope these people stop being so ignorant and dispisicable! You parents who are on holiday ignoring your children and not making sure theyre well behaved are disgusting heathens and it shows your low class. If you do not like other adults speaking to and/or disciplining your kids than you take care of the kids or leave them at home!!! Uts shocking to normal American citizens to see unruling disturbing bratty kids that have parents in ear shot, just reading the paoer and purposely ignoring the encounters, like they enjoy seeing everyone shocked and uncomfortable. You take your kids home theyre not wanted.

We can go back to India from Canada then we can full our relatives and often we can insult our relatives and we can speak Yah Yah often and we can insult India also in front of Indian citizen. don't tell the reality then we can't make full in india.

Sounds like citizens need to start defending that border.\nOur federal government sucks and is way to big

Let us help our fellow homeless citizens first. Let our tax money be spent on them first. Not to illegal migrants first.\nPLEASE !

Illegals need to turn around and fight for freedom in their own countries! Stop this madness! Why isn't my government protecting US Citizens from these invaders?

My husband, an Australian citizen, and Candian PR is preparing to apply for Canadian citizenship, whereas I hold Canadian citizenship. Having spent four years in Canada, my husband and I both agree, based on his experiences here and my observations while visiting Australia, that the quality of life in Canada cannot match that of Australia. Australia offers superior work-life balance and higher pay grades. Our intention is to eventually return to Australia for the better opportunities it provides. I am thankful that our future children can have dual citizenship benefits.

As a Canadian I would moove to the States only to escape winter, probably somewhere in Florida, Texas or Cali. But honestly daily mass shooting occurances scare me away. Not even talking about this orange bad manered criminal that you voted president and still you consider worthy of one because he screams make America great again, without having any real solutions, really it's telling about the average US citizen. Tabarnak

There are so many counteis that cant just cross like this and arent bordered with the US and do it the right way and wait. This is such a disrespect to them, the US and the citizens of the US

I have grown so hateful of the US, being a born US citizen. I was interested in moving to Canada a while ago. I always assumed it was a difficult process. Maybe I can find a welding school and move.

I'm a US citizen who lived in Australia for 2 years. The process there is very similar to Canada's but with a slightly stronger tilt towards specific skills. The recession hit in 2014 and, without a sponsor, they weren't renewing most visas so we had to GTFO. I'm still sad about it. Obviously my life in the States is nothing to cry about but our life in Oz was amazing..

Canadians are been taken for a ride to get free pass and exploit resources meant for citizens. \nKhalistani appeasement will cost Canada dearly. \nCanadians quickly forgot Khalistani terrorist blew up the Air India flight which killed 275 Canadians and 329 in total.

US immigration system is broken but it's still the best in western world if you are in engineering, mathematics and tech. I studied and worked in US, moved to India for personal reasons. I realized its difficult to adjust back in India, and US will never let me naturalize, so I moved to Canada. But Canada has hardly any jobs of its own, most of people in tech here work for American companies. In US, even an aerospace, biomedical, virology or genetic engineering person can find job in his/her field despite being on job visa, but in Canada its very tough. \nFew weeks back, I met an Uber driver who came to Canada 4+ years back, mechanical/automative engineer and was not able to find a job in his field despite no need for license with advance education and many years of relevant experience. He became Canadian citizen few weeks back, and guess what, he received 2 job offers in US and was moving to US on TN visa. \nI am myself working on something in Canada that is not my specialization. In US, I can get multiple messages from top government contractors for scientist/researcher positions, but I could not work for them as I don't have citizenship. In canada, despite being a PR, I know many experienced people who are forced to drive uber or do survival jobs.

I sympathise with the individual, but per country limits are genius — feelings aside. They bring about greater diversity, protect wages, and one might argue they are of national security interest.\n\nI would invite any immigrant to put themselves in the US’ shoes. For example, if India were to become a hotspot for immigration, and suddenly millions of foreigners from some country, say China, were applying for immigration each year into India, what policy would you enact as an Indian citizen?\n\nCanada is on a path of reckoning in my opinion. Time will tell.

there must be order in ENTRY and protect usa ?? citizens as well! \nWhat Happen To Order / More police ? on duty

India jyada better hai kyunki India me 1kamane vala 4 jan ka parivar chala sakta hai Canada ma har ek ko kamana padta hai senior citizens ko bhi kaam karna padta hai chote bacho ko chhod kar mother ko job karni padti hai to ye loss hi hai

This is crazy , wonder why the drug problem is rampant in our country ? Wonder why there is a 300% increase in crime in the cities ? Wonder why there is a housing crisis ? Wonder why our country is falling apart at the seams ? HERE IS THE REASON ! Now ….HERE IS THE SOLUTION …#1 You want citizenship here ? You are immediately enlisted in the armed forces for a minimum of 4 years .#2 You are sent to school in the military to read and write english . #3 If you refuse to swear allegiance and enlist ( you are not given visa , green card status ) nothing …you go home . #4 if you have a felony criminal record …you go home ….#5 sex offender ? You go home . #6 No money made here in the US being deposited in oversea accounts . #7 There is a limit on how much $ can be sent to the family of recent US citizens , can be lifted after 2 years of living in US . #8 No recent US citizen can hold any political office , anywhere …#9 Failure to abide by the laws in this country be it state or federal , you go home citizenship revoked ( within reason ) #10 No flying your previous countries flag or colors on your car or home . What ? Sound communist ? It’s not , these are guidelines for several countries , Israel being one , there it’s 2 years military svc , women included . New Zealand , Australia , japan , etc …….

I am a Canadian citizen who worked in the US. Please stop blindly extolling Canada for accepting more immigrants. There is nothing inherently good or bad about immigration. It is a simply a socioeconomic policy decision that every country needs to make for itself, for the benefit of its EXISTING citizens. I’m not going to blindly applaud any country, including my own, just because it welcomed xyz immigrants.
