Giovanna is Seeking asylum in Canada according to CNN but speaking through an interpreter she then says 'I feel I can have a better quality of life in Canada instead of remaining in the US'.

I just emigrated out of US to Australia. much better compared to US.

This us what happens when you put a Democrat in charge of the country

Locked us in our homes for 2 years followed by Open boarders. Unbelievable

Weird how everyone who’s been advocating for open borders has done nothing to help these people so far that would greatly impact and help us

I feel sorry for them but, America has to take care of its own first. We already have too many homeless & issues that need to be fixed here before anyone else can come here. They need to close the borders for a few years for us to heal

And this lawless attitude is why they don't need to be admitted into the US.

I'm all for migration, but legally. My heart goes out for people wanting to seek out a better life, but the homelessness in the US is unimaginable as it is. Mexico must do better by its people. This is really sad.

Many of these immigrants come from countries that the USA have sanctions on. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world ? more than Saudi Arabia, but the US won't lift the Sanctions. Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, Columbia, El Salvador, Guatamala all of south America are RICH in natural resources. But they are most impoverished places on earth. Corruption is a big factor but so is China, SAUDI ARABIA (Middle East) America 's lover, and we kiss their as*

This is What happens when Us play to destroy South america \nGo go go mexicans ?

Anyone trying to force entry into the US is an invader. The US has a right to defend itself. If things go kinetic, it's on the invaders, not the defenders.

Come to us or canada legally, or dont, it aint paradise, and we dont even have enough homes for ourselves as is.

It shocking how the US allows amnesty to millions of immigrants in the last 4 yrs under BIDEN . But he just STOPS it immediately !! Think about that !

Many legal immigrants put much efforts into following US law and their ability development that can be helpful for US. Why accepting illegal people? it is insulting to many illegal immigrants. Trump is right.

Give us your sick, give us your poor. Let them in.

Trumps wall would’ve saved us a lot of headache.

Ive been working my ass off to pay for my documents for legality, paid taxes yearly and just comply to whatever is needed for immigration. Now im a US citizen. And this people just think they can just walked in without legal papers pisses me off. Come on people we all have different struggles in life, but we have to do the right thing! Even if youre inside the US you cannot have a decent job and no company is gonna accept you if you dont have legal papers. Therefore you cannot open a bank account and you cannot build your credit and get a place to stay. Theres too many homeless here already. Just do the right thing! The govt cannot save you all.

Vancouver is a depressing place!! I am Canadian and proud of it!! The government is not kind to its citizens. It is like the US. It is cold! Yes!! But at least we are not being shot at!! But tgat will happen in time! Crime is fucked here! Tooooo much!! I do love tge music though! Especially in the seventies!! April Wine, Prism Triumph Rush!! I appreciate you being honest, but until there is a better country available, I will have my passport as CANADIAN. Good luck!! If I would move, it would be Vietnam!! Maybe I can be of use there!!! God bless you!!

We cant save all these people, we can’t allow entry to people right now when we have so many internal problems. Close them and focus on the US first then double back to the immigrants, but as this moment we can’t do anything for them

All the crap is caused by the US and so called Western Culture\nNow we see the end of civilization

Same problem year after year. How can the government send troops and aid overseas but barley lift a finger to stabilize the countries below us. Solving the immigration problem starts with going to the root of the problem or else people will keep trying to flood in

salute to us goverment

Most Venezuelans would rather risk limb and life to get into the US because if they stayed in Mexico they'd have to work for a living, instead of just sucking the government. Most. Some of them stay here, and do the effort.

Many Americans are homeless why this people want to go to the US. I am not American nor live in the US very dangerous place to live in.

This is how Democrats, and the people who control them, fight their war. against the US, against western civilization. They Will bombard a country with countless teeming hordes of people , usually Brown if they can manage it. To destabilize and overthrow the government. Especially their own.\n Yes, the same people also control at least half of the republicans, but it's the Dem's, the party of slavery and the party of the KKK, which is their ultimate weapon (After the Media come out of course).

i wish it was easier for people to get us citizen ship so the cartels arent able to take advantage of people that are migrating because of them in the first place! and if americans have a issue with more latin ppl coming to america then native americans should be able to kick us out if yall wanna go down that road of reasoning!.....

Not once have i lived off the government. I work my girl works. We’re having a kid. And things are getting really tight. Inflation is kicking our butts bills increased pay is the same. Were not married yet. We decided to try to seek some government help for at least food right. Shit is tough rn so if we can at least get some food we’ll be fine. We can’t get it technically my girl makes too much money. Why is that even a thing? You’re telling us no because we have too much money? Well we also have alot of bills. Regardless if we’re “middle class” that shit dont feel like it. Im broke af. I got 150 in the bank last me till the 15th. I deserve no help because i choose to help myself? That makes no sense. Yet you got ppl not trying to do a thing for themselves living off of us. Thats insane.

Hopefully this will deter immigrants from using usa as an interim stop to get to canada. Biden ended Title 42, which means most of these illegals will probably bussed to other us cities so taxpayers can take care of them. Looks like Canada is trying to do what Trump did for 4 years in the usa, deter illegal immigration.

The US is finished as a country

It was all planned by The UN and The WEF. NOTHING organic about it. I heard about a UN leaked report planning on 100 million migrants into the US. All part if a one govt Canada, US, Mexico unified North American zone.

You forgot 1 major point-\nAt least here in Canada, we don't have to live in fear of gun violence. We don't send our children only for them to be massacred in their schools. At least our politics doesn't revolve around Jesus, guns and abortion (though our politicians are also crap). At least we don't have to break bad to pay for even simple medical procedures. At least our cities aren't overrun by homeless while our rural areas are not overrun by hillybillies. \n\nWhile yes in general Americans are richer, the fact is that only the top 10 percent live better. Not the homeless piling up in the cities, not the 3rd world shanties in the Appalachians and south and certainly not the thousands living in the American jail system. It's crazy how bad a country can be despite being rich.\n\nI was born and raised in the US. I have lived in Canada and much poorer countries like Spain and Portugal. Let me tell you, Americans live the worst life out of all. In much poorer Spain, people still have universal education till university, good healthcare, good public transportation system and they don't have to eat the frozen crap most Americans eat. Spanish people eat fresh meat, fruits, cheese and vegetables and drink some of the best wine, despite earning much less than Americans and working astonishingly low hours. Moreover, their cities are livable, not like the concrete jungle of Texas. \n\nYes America is rich but DUDE, Its seriously third world, if you arent rich and successful.

The US and Canada will soon become northern Mexico.

CNN is fake News. Apply and wait like everyone else. You cant cut line. I wait and apply to America and now US citizen. You are not special to cut line. Period.. Sad but true.

After getting British passport in 6 years time \nCan I relocate to the US permanently?

Dont get why people are upset at Mexico if the US was the ones who said let asylum seekers come and it would be a human rights violation if they didn't and now you dont want them. People need to get a hold of the US government to solve the real problem.

At least someone is happy to be in america. Feel like alot of people in our country today don’t understand how lucky they are even with all the issues we have of our own. Of course this large influx of people is gonna cripple some of the economy for a while but we should hope the Mexican and other South Americans who do end up staying here after all this are able to lead a productive and good life beside us Americans.

good job the Biden Administration has failed us all

Althought Canada is a inferior business country relative to US. Atleast our banking system is strong, that notion of us being risk averse is a good thing. \nThe 08 crash,and now the current on going banking crisis in the US really tells you the level of risks taken by US firms. \nUS businessess are much quicker to fire you, much faster to destroy unions. For the average working person, Canada offers more. \nOur healthcare is great. I am saying this as a person who has been in and out of surgeries of different types since the age of 5 and still going through some at 24... \n\nCanada is a strong economy with good natural resources to exploit. but it is expensive relative to the US. \n\nMy general view is, for a non-white person, Vancouver, Toronto are great places to be across all of Canada and the US.

So your not going to talk at all about how Canada's claim to resources is built on the genocide of Indigenous peoples??? This is actual racist by not acknowledging us or our historical relationship with the Crown. This is just capitalist horseshit at best.

If they cant respect our laws now why would they inside? And these are the ones who work for cheap, off the record. Fucking wages, screwing us over.

This a Biden Admin blunder. When you advertise to the world that the US has free lunch, don’t be surprised when the border gets bum rushed. The Biden Admin and the Democrat part has basically allowed the likes of child, drug, human, and sex traffickers to blend in with folks desperate to flee their country. The traffickers use the people fleeing as cover, as mules. The regular people are preyed on and killed in some cases by these criminals. And all this is happening at a faster rate because we’re telling people to just come instead of doing immigration the orderly way. I pray for these people and I pray the men turn around and take that energy and that fight to the dictators that are ruining their country. (I also understand most dictators are and have been installed by the US).

As a Mexican American remember these are not Mexicans lol they're from Venezuela they're not one of us ?

And yet, Canada outscores the US in quality of life and happiness index every year

Venezuela hates the US I’ve been there!

Turd 1 and Turd 2 have ruined us

Nice video - curious, if you remove California from the US (i.e. US ex-CA), how would Canada stack up then?

Didn’t even get into the stupid inter provincial fighting (vetoing pipelines, etc). The country has also suffered from a perpetual identity crisis and for too long prided its self on not being American while being an almost identical twin to its neighbour down south. \n\nThis unexceptional display of a weak identity and economic brain drain show why merging with the us is the answer long term. \n\n“It’ll never happen!” Mentality is a testament to the lack of creativity and big ideas needed to advance that’s cemented into people’s minds here. \n\nThe video highlighted that well.

By the way I hate when the US in called « America ». America is 35 countries, not one.

When in Rome be Roman... I am sure he could have taken it off, no harm done...he did it only to piss people off. People pointing out US's reputation of Mass Shooting in school... that's senseless, it's not like the authorities allow guns in establishments... It's these religious kinds that are a problem. Police are right...

It’s not about where you are but who you are where you are. If you ran to the US with spirit of lust, prostitution, drug dealing, anger, bitterness, rage , unforgiveness, lying, stealing, killing or destruction, you will encounter the same hardship you encountered while in your own country. Everyone needs deliverance. After deliverance, you can try looking for work even in your own country and you will find it. If you don’t believe me, watch Christopher Orji videos. ?‍♀️
