It so sad that this administration doesn’t do anything about securing our borders….why? When can we take care our own problems ? What are this politicians doing? Are they even thinking for our future and for a better way of living in this country America ?

This behavior is the reason for the fuking border in the first place that and supposedly drugs but there’s tons of drugs and losers already in America. Hmm what to do? What to do? Its hard some people just want a better life only cause the currency in mexico sucks ballz! Sadly you have to be trans or Ukrainian if you wanna roll here these days, Aint that a Bitch?!

I get that most Venezuelans main objective is to get into the US, but they are literally invading all South and North America countries. Not only that, but a vast amount of Venezuelans are delinquents. \n\nIt is sad to see them leave their country looking for more opportunities, but if they have the strength to travel from South America to the US and gather enough people to raid the border, they surely can find the strength and gather enough people to overthrow the dictator.

Sad pet is they hate there own country enough to leave it but yet they come to America and bring the lifestyle shit that they hated with them to our country and now Florida is filled with people that came to this country not caring to learn our language just expect us to know Spanish in America where we’re taught English not Spanish.

No what's sad is that none of them understand they can legally enter just by following the rules there's no need in all the violence all you got to do is learn basic history of America I mean it's very simple their government should tell them or ours I mean it's dumb

Get Biden the hell out to America and send him to china where he belongs the damn criminal sellout. He should be impeached. He should be in jail. But they are worried about trump spending millions coming up with mother and communist new network AKA cnn just attacks the right so hard it’s so sad.

We have the same problem here in England . We do t want them here anymore as we can not afford them, and they need to all go home. It is sad to see, but they need to go back home. It's not going g to stop unless America puts a huge electricity trick fence up.

It’s sad to see that these Venezuelans have to leave there own country and travel so far and then not be able to get in America.

Since when did America become the birthright of everybody in the world? The sad part is most these people will tell you how awful America is but in the same breath they want to live here because it’s better!

It’s so sad that people in America talk shit about it all the time and see how bad it is.. yeah people are risking their lives and leaving their families just to come to America for taste and single breath of air

Sad thing is many of them would actually appreciate America much more than a lot of its current residents.

The sad thing is that they try to make America the same as the country they just left.

It's sad when u see people try to leave they country like this it must be bad there Biden do you job u help them white people in Ukraine help America and the Latinos

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

Canada's not stupid like the United States they are not just going to let people enter their country an roam free illegally, Canada's won't even let you in their country if you are a United States citizen that owes child support in America, they have control over their border unlike the United States which is sad for the most rich an powerful country in the world but can't control its borders.

Why are we as Americans worried at all?? we have a program set in place for every single one of those people. Wish I could get a check walking over a line ,and the best part is if any of those people become homeless, they should move to California because your hard earned a taxpayer dollars now pay the homeless people up to $1000 a month literally just to smoke drugs probably meth and live on the streets ? welcome to America. We are the greatest enabler‘s on the planet.\nIt’s fucking sad and disgusting and I hate that I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else?

It’s sad cus that use to be Mexican territory until it was taken by America.

It’s sad to see. Having traveled and lived in central and South America, I get why they want to come. What irritates is the sense of entitlement and that it’s just okay to storm into another country.

Wow this is my country yo.. it’s so sad to see this happen when I see homeless folks our brothers and sisters everyday out here on the street.. U cannot I repeat you cannot do this in any other country anywhere besides America.. some parts of America I didn’t even believe was our country yo it looks third world yo I’m ashamed of our actions and I do not agree with this at all.. there country needs to do something for there own people and we need to do the same.. we should help with the infrastructure and laws over there to where they don’t want or need to force there way into America.. everyone has the right to be here but do it the right way

People think America sucks but why are people rushing into this country? It’s sad that these peoples’ home country’s can figure out how to operate ethically.

United state of America and Canada yoir always told to another country about humanity and immigration. Why now your not give permission them ???? It is all like a game . \nThose who are that came to usa with spend money and seen problems. To seeking the aslym in canada.

It is very sad. Kids these days don't know the hardships and sacrifices their parents went through to give them a better life in America, instead turning their life to a life of crime and depravity. In America, if you work hard, respect your neighbors, and is education driven, you will achieve the American dream.

This is what happens when the administration that we currently have get on TV and say how they want free housing, free food, free healthcare, free education for people who come into America. People actually start to come and show up and the administration ruined their lives. Sad that Biden has been so disappointing.

So sad first the self proclaimed land of the free should not sanctions other countries or invade them then this issue of migration wouldn’t happen, America is doing this to its self,

Sadly they will destroy that beautiful country Canada if this continues the mass migration in America has destroyed it and its resources well our leaders also did a pretty good job is that but anyways Canada tighten your belt up crackdown or you're going to wind up with the same problem America has

Sad, really. America is now to Canada as Mexico has been to the US. Just another border to a better life.

It's sad they'd rather cross willingly knowing they'll be arrested than to be in either Mexico or America. That's saying something.

In 2010 I had a one way ticket to Florida to visit some friends. At the airport they pulled me aside and said that if I didn’t come back to Canada within 14 days I’d never be allowed back into America again. I was traumatized and never went back. But here we are 13 years later and I can just walk wherever I want to go on this side of the world lol…but for real, this is sad. If you aren’t used to Canadian temperatures your in trouble. Hope everyone is okay. It is rough though, I was in a shelter for two months, but some families were there for almost a year because of the housing crisis. I’m not exactly sure how this will work. ?

As someone from Belgium that now lives in Columbus OH because of marriage, you're spot on with everything. Safety? Limited. Sprawl? Terrible. Rent? Eh it's not that bad. I make a base salary of $82.5k and my wife makes $50k. Our 2br 1ba apartment's rent is about $1000. It's a nice place, but it has some flaws. Our next place will be around $1500. I've told my wife I don't like the sprawl and lack of public transport here and I want to move to a place where that is less of an issue: Chicago, NYC or Boston. However, the latter two have crazy high rent.\n\nI must add, the terribly unsupported public education system in Columbus is by far the worst reason. My wife is a teacher at a Columbus City School that's almost 100% black. White families put their kids through private schools. The rest of the kids have terrible home lives and are therefore incredibly ill-behaved and under-educated. So much so that the teachers just CANNOT keep up with Ohio's learning standards. By the time these kids graduate (and that's a big IF), they would have learned about 20% of what a regular 18-year old would have learned in most of the world. This is in part due to:\n1. Parents that do not involve themselves in what their children do, and therefore do not discipline appropriately.\n2. Terrible school admins that force teachers to lower their standards to have a high passing rate for the school (otherwise it gets shut down). Also, due to the No Child Left Behind Act, admins also force teachers to teach how to pass state tests (repetitive bullshit) instead of important learning materials and/or critical thinking skills.\n3. A lot of these students are pushed into the gang lifestyle and see no future in their education. They don't even try.\n4. Burned out teachers that grew tired of the negative ROI and start giving out poor and inadequate work packets. However, I don't like blaming teachers, especially because my wife is the hardest working person I know.\n\nIt's hard to see my wife come back every day, exhausted. It pains me both for her and her kids. America doesn't give a fuck about education. The big theory is that they're purposely not giving public schools attention so they can be phased out and private education becomes the norm. And if you can't afford it? That's great, we need factory workers.\n\n\nI might convince my wife to move to Europe eventually (luckily a European marriage visa isn't as stupidly hard to obtain as it was for me to get here). Having kids in America is not something I'd like to think about. For now, I'm taking advantage of this high salary to save as much as I can and focus on advancing in my career. Sadly, that's really the only thing America is good for...

Boy here in America I often get totally different treats every time I go out to shopping. Me and others walked at the same time I am never greeted or asked if I needed any help but the white skin color does. This often happens in Macys and Loft stores. After a while I decided to inform them how I was being ignored or being treated differently . in Loft store sadly she was the manager who was herself was being prejudice and I knew my complain will not go anywhere. LOL.

I love you Aba and preach but saying boring politics is a negative for y’all is kinda sad. Politics is ruining America. There is so much radicalism, y’all should be glad imo.

The socioeconomic flaws are much difficult to compare considering the very foundations that birthed America as well as its intricate and dense population. There are variety of implications that comes to accommodating a diverse population of 380 million which is 10 times the population of Canada (these can also be structural). The rent in Montreal is not as high relative to major urban cities in America simply because of the demand. People simply do not want to live in Montreal at the same rate that they do for places like San Francisco and New York. Moreover, places like New York and San Francisco, (this can also include Toronto/Vancouver), have rigorous rent controls as well as zone restriction laws that limits the capacity for home builders to produce affordable housing, (especially when compared to Quebec). I live in Canada, but I even I must admit that economic success and freedom is much higher in the U.S. Name me another Western country with more african Billionaires/Millionaires than America? Canada is immensely reliant on Government to regulate trade and commerce and due to our lack of entrepreneurial spirit, I expect that we will remain a commodity-based economy for decades. This is especially a sad reality if interest rates continue to rise, as it will negatively impact the purchasing power of our dollar which is indexed to commodities . \n \nCheers,

Sad story really, but there are many other international students who get it even worse. At least Indian students speak English, have a very large support community in Canada (where pretty much every other person is from India). I only speak because I know. Try coming to this land with no English and no connections at all ...and from a small country in South America, then you really are in trouble.

??⛾AS A FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN (16) Generations born I find this very SAD!! I would never FLEE my country and not go back to my country to build it up. I lived in 3 different countries 6 years a piece and I was always very happy to return home to AMERICA there's no place like home! Get your bag?save your money go build up your country for future Generations???? BLACK POWER✊?✊?✊?

This is SO true!!! I am American but have lived overseas in the UK and Europe. I can’t believe the difference. Living in America is so lonely! It’s isolating. It’s very sad. It didn’t used to be this way in the 40s, 50s, 60s 70s. This is a new phenomenon. Without w church family (and I’m not religious) you are literally on your own - and that’s as an American! I can’t believe what it would be like being a refugee or an immigrant. Depression is high and largely due to isolation.

I am born in America in the suburbs north of Boston.Your words are so correct. I am now 74, and my childhood was idyllic, playing outside every day, roller skating, bike riding, climbing trees and long walks with my girlfriends. Sadly, due to the scourge of the drug trade and gun violence all communities everywhere have been adversely affected. Parents are fearful of letting their kids play outside. I have lived in Egypt for 20. years with returning to the states every summer for 3months I became to realize the problem.\nThen I returned to Florida USA for 8 years to work.The difference was huge from the friendly Egypt. Definitely, isolation is the norm now in the states, and it is impossible for someone to adjust who is from Africa and be happy.\nThank you for clearly warning of the culture clash...it is real. The only option for an African is to live in the big cities like N.Y.. Miami, Chicago, but it is so tough to raise children there due to the gangs.\nThis Ramadan, I pray hard that Allah will change things. But Quran says Allah does not change the condition of the people unless they change what is in themselves.

This is living culture of background in western life style.\nNo one can change it !so sad so bad from peoples views of immigration! \nMay be they don’t feel lonely, they don’t feel strange at all. \nThis is called the value of western living style ever since young kids graduated from high school whom being told : \nJust be independent ( survival), being ur self , being self conscious, having American dreams yourself,being self motivated, being focus on your self ,,,,,\nSo no one cares others , real help each other ,shame to ask money from parents whatever situations of life! Everything has to separate instead cooperate it,\n……. \nEveryone knows it’s bad , but everyone thinks it’s right!\nHahaha \nIf u moved to USA over 35 or 40 years old from Asia, Africa,even center of America,or south ,\nYou always have options to avoid being alone just ur self or couple when old , nursing home,stuff like that. Plus dollars are so cool in most of countries.\nYou can’t change the culture whatever it’s sad ,hurt ,but it’s right in USA.\nIt’s a continental to have American dreams only —- making dollars

I'm Asian from Republic of Korea. I liked USA but since a few days I'm really hating that country because of racism against Asians, Black people, people who are different religious. I've not seen other countries being this racist as America. I'm not saying that everyone from USA is racist but sadly i'm sure majority of them are! American people think that every Asian is Chinese and they call us Virus, they tell us to go back to our country if an Asian visits. This is how many Asians are losing interest in USA nowadays.. \nsorry for my bad English, i'm still learning! ??‍♂️

its very sad that there is racism against Indians in America but its very good to see that these things are looked down and called out to be sad and criminal.

What the great Canada is as xenophobic as America. Why because, every country has rules regarding the migration of people. Oh wait don't feel so sad for him, let me give you a true statement. Is the reason why good school district have ways of keeping kids from bad school districts coming to those schools and using up those resources.

Damn racism is worse in Canada than it is in America that’s sad.

Australia is also a multicultural country. Some racism exist but not much to be concerned of. However, stereotyping does exist, especially with aboriginal people. It is sad, but truth. I don't know why but I guess it is related to the history of the country itself. And I think this also happens to other places i.e. America (as a continent), aboriginal people become marginal.\nI hope those will pass... :(

It's pathetic that they say alcohol is not to be used but the men can have more then one WIFE. Absolutely disgusting and I'm a mixed race. England is ruined forever which is sad because of the governments decisions to show off to keep up with Canada and America.

I hate coward's and bullies and racist's are both. Sadly I suspect that the study of racism might have a much worse result in some parts of America, especially the charity collection.

See racism just doesn't happen in America, it happens in Canada as well! It's actually worldwide! It just a sad and unfortunate thing that only happens to us people of color.

Canada being 2 and America being 3 \n\n\n\n\n*sad Chinese noises*

There will never ever be an end to racism,there will always be the silent majority that detest the black people,\nand it is not just America it's worldwide and unfortunately it's a problem that's never going away.There are\nwhite people that literally have no time for coloureds and in reality couldn't care less what anybody thinks\neither,we live in sad times.

Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of were am I in the United States of America but why only the black people are not able to make a real living still happening today sad Linda j peace pay attention to what you are doing around people that don't want you around sad ?at what is happening around you Linda j peace ❤️???

Only in America can you go bankrupt for a trip to the hospital once you get COVID. SAD!
