What? Now the US is being invaded from the north? I hate that Biden administration.

You can thank Biden and Harris administration. If Trump wins, this will not happen with him.

This is disgusting this biden administration is a fkn shame to hard working Americans.

The Biden administration is responsible for this mess

And if the Biden administration wins this election all that will probably stop and they’ll throw them to the curb too. Imagine crime if they stopped giving them free money and housing…

Trudeau is as much a disaster as the Biden-Harris administration is.

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.

You can thanks the biden administration for this mess their tying to destroying our country! They didn’t secure the border they lie like they do best!!’ VOTE americans ! make america better! GOD BLESS!?

Gotta love biden harris administration

The biden administration flies them there

You are wrong. The southern border is wide open thanks to the Biden administration. NYC will be unlivable for citizens pretty soon.

And they have been given driver's license and voter rights by the illegal Biden Administration

i am in canada & let me tell you the government is complicit whit biden administration & mexico through nafta deal

What an absolute travesty Biden Administration has committed on the American people !!! He needs to be accountable for ALL of these migrants …. DISGUSTING ??????

Thanks to the Biden Administration

Give to us AN American Citizens - what you Give Illegals????? Shameless Bidens administration ! Trump , We Need You !!

I believe the U.S. signed an agreement with NATO to accept immigration from countries around the world....that would be Biden and current administration. All NATO nations are getting swamped with migrants - it's a ridiculous mess that won't be fixed anytime soon.

NOT ONE OF YOU IS HOLDING YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SHITHOLE THIS COUNTRY IS TURNING INTO DUE TO THE 30 million MIGRANTS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS INVITED IN.

Thank the democrats and the biden administration they did it to win illegal votes

I’m sure the fake news and the Biden administration will somehow blame this all on Trump!!! This is the saddest thing I’ve seen since I came here LEGALLY back in 1995 From Israel!!! ??

No wonder usa citizens can't get any job, can't get affordable housing, education and health care ??????????Biden Administration has to go ?????????

This is how the Biden administration has been bringing in the real terrorists.

For the illegal immigrant problems, High food prices, homes prices, gas, insurance, high robberies, higher murders that we have now. Please look at the lack of leadership the US has been under for the past 4 years! Biden and Harris administration HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE!

But my friend they are helping out they're bringing as many as they can in for the the border for the Biden and Harris Administration for free votes

Both borders have been wide open for the entire Biden administration.

If you think this is bad, it’s only gonna get worse closer to we get to the election. The Biden administration does not do anything at all to curve this. Many American seniors are suffering from this. I personally have talked to them. They’re coming over right now to New York to get the benefits. I don’t know if you’ve seen the video on YouTube about the woman that has a receipt of a $13,000 food stamp snap benefit per month. Even if she’s feeding a whole family for that many American seniors are getting less than $500 somewhere around 300. I understand. KAMALA HARRIS DOES NOT CARE THAT YOU HAVE TO GO IN YOUR POCKET TO SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE . THEY ARE COMING OVER FOR BENEFITS AND IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME, A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OF THESE MIGRANTS COMING OVER HERE. DOES SOMETHING BAD THAT WE’RE ALL GOING TO KNOW ABOUT.. IF YOU VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS, IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE

This is why we need president Trump they are letting half the world come into the country which is very dangerous you can believe war from this is coming soon thanks to the Biden administration.

Canada is just as guilty as the Biden/Harris administration for letting this happen. Lets hope the Bear and Rattlesnakes are out in force!. Trudeau wont stop this!. I believe the days of the Wild West are comming back soon!. With Biden creating full blown wars over seas we are screwd, its the beginning of the end!.

This is bcoz of the biden administration's laxity n incompetence by changing border laws. Where is kamala Harris. She is supposed to control this flooding of illegal immigrants into USA

Thx to the biden administration

The Biden administration advocates for this.

You can thank Biden and his administration, Worst President we ever had, And if Kamala gets elected, It will be the second worst President, Look what they did to this country, More drugs, More crime, Immigrant children in our schools, Hospitals, While US citizens are suffering, Less health care, Higher cost, Higher taxes, Our grandfather's, father's, And other us citizens Work Hard for the American dream, That American dream is disappearing, More so In the lasts 3 and a 1/2 years, Thank the Biden administration

Biden administration seperated my family Latinos for Trump

Wow that’s a good job of Biden-Harris administration ? lol ?

All thanks to Biden , his administration this is horrific horrible you own this Joe !!!

That what satisfied Biden and his administration .

Biden and his administration should all be in prison by now.

I live in the states and some places are catching up on housing stock. The Biden administration recently blocked a merger between grocery store giants and is becoming tougher on antitrust enforcement. The Biden admin along with Congress also increased IRS funding and has been catching more high-dollar tax cheats. In the US, Trudeau would be considered more of a corporate Democrat, which is a right wing party. (The US has no viable moderate or left-wing parties whatsoever)

The Biden administration could stop this issue. it's a self-inflicted, enormous immigration failure by only Biden.

This is why there needs to at least be a threat of lethal force. Trump and his administration were too extreme in one direction and now Biden and his administration are too extreme in the other direction. This is exactly why there needs to be a moderate political party. The Democrats and Republicans are both beyond corrupt and too concerned with pandering to the minority of extremists just because they're the most vocal, instead of actually doing the right thing.

Has anyone noticed that all of the people illegally crossing the border are wearing the same backpack. Provided by none other than the Biden administration ?

Why hasn't the Biden administration ordered the use of lethal weapons against the Mexican invaders? Is homeland defense now also a question mark in the leftist USA today?

It's an INVASION that we the people MUST STOP (HALT AND REVERSE)The Biden administration is breaking our laws. Spending the people's taxpayer money flying hundreds of thousands illegal aliens deep into OUR NATION.???‍♂️?✅????

It's an INVASION that we the people MUST STOP (HALT AND REVERSE)The Biden administration is breaking our laws. Spending the people's taxpayer money flying hundreds of thousands illegal aliens deep into OUR NATION.???‍♂️?✅???

You can thank Biden for this action!! I'm absolutely sick of Biden and his administration! Biden needs to go NOW!!!!!

It just will never end!!! Thanks to this Corrupt Biden Administration!!! The world will soon collapse!!!

Biden administrations big mess. You can thank him. Joe needs to go

time for old Biden administration be accountable for this

Scotus should be made accountable for ruling in favor of this disjointed immigration policy of the errant Biden administration. Americans should demand accountability

The US cant continue to support this mass migration due to financial unsustainability and at the expense of Americans who are struggling and need support. Its outrageous that we have homeless populations ,vets and working Americans , families who cant afford housing not getting the help they need because resources are being diverted to support illegal migrants. Thats not fair nor is it right. Tax payers money is being diverted for this and Americans need to demand accountability from Dem government officials starting with the Inept Biden administration for enabling this chaos .The fentanyl epidemic is also originating from Mexico and their cartels who have infiltrated the US and have set up distribution points in country via open borders which is driving criminal enterprise fueling mass addiction and driving high mortality rates in vulnerable population s in the US..
