Your analysis is the best I have ever seen, thanks for the detailed comparison.

If it takes any longer than 2 to 3 years who ever is doing you paperwork is screwing you over. You might want to look at changing lawyers.

WhizQueen will you ever leave Canada????my Fav Country and yours

The fact that the media barely mentions the border anymore is scary. This is a normal day there. It's as bad as it's ever been and is just being ignored. This can't be allowed in a country that's going to continue functioning properly

America needs to take care of America! No more illegals crossing the border! American’s are suffering more with housing now then ever. Mexican’s coming in over here. Is taking up all our housing. No more illegals over here!!!

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.

Joe Biden 2024 ???? The Best President Ever ????

Biden forgor about the border\n\nAnd Trump is too ignorant to handle the border\n\nWill we ever get a good leader for this country?

Immigration in this country is out of hand these last couple years have been the worst I’ve ever seen.

We need Donald Trump more than ever oh my gosh ?

This is the first i ever seen this under any government ?

Anyone ever seen born in east LA? sorry not funny I know but this was the the end of the movie!

Is he a khailishani ? Or what ever …! Or just a Sikh student .

Whats the words the crowds sing to The Angels - Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?

We will never forget what you Demorats did to this country!! This is literally the worst administration we have ever seen in our country! I can't wait to run this administration out of power! Dictatorship!!!

Joe Biden and his regime have facilitated the invasion of our Southern border and should be held accountable but no one ever will be and that's why the system will fail.. when there's no accountability... the system is broken due to corruption..

Umm..Why r we seeing this right now? What a dumb question. She has got to be the worst News reporter in history and lives under a rock. Its been going on for years now ever since Slow Joe Biden invited everyone to come and dismantled the policies Trump (Our Real President) enacted that we’re working by preventing most migrants from attempting to cross our border. All Joes fault. By every measure Biden is the worst President we have ever had. How dumb do you have to be to say “end of quote” “Repeat the line” while reading a speech from the Teleprompter.

I'm honestly glad/happy they were stopped. It's called legal immigrants. Theirs a process! To try and keep the bad out! Ever other country does it why is it so bad that we do! PROCESS!! DO THE PROCESS!!

If that’s not a damn invasion force if I’ve ever seen one…… Deploy the National Guard NOW!!!

Great job biden... said no American ever

the Mexicans, really did this in a wrong way.\n\nThey should work hard than ever before , just like the Chinese.\n\nthen, the Americans will go and negotiate with u.

This is all, because of joe brandons open border policies! If ever there was a case for impeachment, this should be a top five! Along with the Afghanistan disaster!

They trying to picture like this is happening all days and at all times with no control. Don’t be so naive, even tho this is new it is not happening 24/7 Have you ever being at the border crossing? There is a lot of security and even when you cross with a visa the officers act like if you wanna stay there when you are just a tourist. Most people rather loose their dignity to go to a country where you are being treated like ? But I would never treat bad a gringo in Mexico because Im educated and have manners.

Open the borders who are we to discriminate someone’s future just because they weren’t born within these imaginary borders. We can’t ever forget that was all Mexico not that long ago. The culture and people will never be diminished. Mexicans, natives and Latin Americans are the true rulers of this land.

Did they ever shoot at the foreign invader?They are there to use force to protect Americans.It’s no diff than war in my mind

S was so funny and I’m not even Australian. I laughed all through, I couldn’t hold my cup of water\nHave you ever laughed so hard your hand doesn’t work properly anymore

funny tho .... aren't we supposed to be the worst country ever ? yet people a flooding in here and some dying trying to get here ?

Ever heard of flamethrowers

Hello American Christian Patriots! Do you ignore the WORD OF GOD? \n\n\nI am a stranger and an alien residing among you; give me property among you for a burying place, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.’\nGenesis 23:4\n\nYou shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.\nDeuteronomy 10:19\n\nThe alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.\nLeviticus 19:34\n\n‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’\nDeuteronomy 27:19\n\nWhen they were few in number, of little account, and strangers in the land, wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, saying, ‘Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.’\n1 Chronicles 16:19-22\n\nI was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy, and I championed the cause of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous, and made them drop their prey from their teeth.\nJob 29:15-17\n\nThe Lord watches over the strangers; he upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.\nPsalm146:9\n\nFor if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly act justly one with another, if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt, then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever.\nJeremiah 7:5-7\n\nYou shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who reside among you and have begotten children among you. They shall be to you as citizens of Israel; with you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.\nEzekiel 47:22\n\nThus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.\nZechariah 7:9-10\n\nYou have heard that it was said, ‘you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy’. But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you.\nMatthew 5:43-44\n\nI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.\nMatthew 25:35\n\nTruly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.\nMatthew 25:40\n\nYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.\nLuke 10:27\n\nThen Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.\nActs 10:34\n\nContribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.\nRomans 12:13\n\nOwe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.\nRomans 13:8\n\nLove does no wrong to a neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.\nRomans 13:10\n\nIn that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.\nColossians 3:11\n\nLet mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured.\nHebrews 13:1-3\n\nBeloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends, even though they are strangers to you; they have testified to your love before the church. You do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God; for they began their journey for the sake of Christ, accepting no support from non-believers. Therefore we ought to support such people, so that they may become co-workers with the truth.\n3 John 1:5\n\nAnd I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them.”\nRevelation 21:3

Good. They should all be allowed in. We live in one of the wealthiest countries that ever existed on this planet and we're letting immigrants and refugees rot on the boarder because of our disgusting laws.

Meh. Approve Live fire. Not many would try this ever.

America Politicians always what to solve other Countries problems but wait a minute or two……..\nThey can’t even help themselves with our own Country. They send billions and Billions of dollars across ever which way imaginable every yr, many times a yr to save and help the other Countries, but start screaming Bloody murder when it’s time to help their own.

Good let them in we’ve had more in out little island then those wankers will ever take. Plus why is it Americans can’t count and are 27th in maths in the world??? can’t count motherf##kers ?

Ever wonder, \nwhy the Immigration Department has not made any or some adjustments to immigration entry ? \n\n? Super suspicious ?

Vegemite is the nastiest stuff I've ever tasted.

This is BS ! I have NEVER EVER had to wait a full YEAR to see a doctor. Period . I live in Toronto. I write this in late March 2023. In the USA....you are on YOUR OWN when it comes to things like social issues and healthcare. Your so-called private insurance plans do not ALWAYS cover what YOU THINK they cover regarding healthcare. You could not pay me enough to ever move to the US from Toronto. My parents had MULTIPLE heart-related medical procedures in Ottawa that would have BANKRUPTED them if they were Americans. You are taken care of IMMEDIATELY if your life is in danger when it comes to healthcare. Americans never mention this. This actually happened to my 41-year old daughter. STOP listening to the DRAMATIC LIES among the comments below. Get real. Then there is the HUGE chance of being shot , say , in a school or a church or even a WALMART in the good ol'US of A. Even Christian elementary schools are not safe. I kiss the CANADIAN ground here in Toronto.

This people don't know the meaning of , NO. Already BRANDON let in 6 million since he took office, how will all those folks ever find themselves a job, guess some will have to live off taxpayers

I moved to Canada from the US a few years ago. I lived in the US for over 30 year and the US government is a JOKE. Congress never got anything done regardless on what party is in office. If you're gay or trans I wouldn't move to the US because it's been very dangerous for that community especially in red states. The US still can't get better gun control to stop all of the mass school shootings yet and they think TikTok is the main threat right now. You can see where their priorities are. You can tell I moved to Canada due to political reasons lol Sure the cost of living in Canada are higher and I had to get adjusted to colder weather, but it was the best thing I ever did and I would NEVER move back to the US any time soon.

Open borders good luck American s getting a Job harder than ever to get hired

good job Biden worst president ever

There is something they are running from the government is responsibility to ensure the safety of all people who ever wants to come into this country for we are American people and we have to do this for the American flag and shouldn't we be more than a bigoted bunch of obnoxious politicians who crippled the country of viniswala and three other adjoining countries in this ERA of the world of energy why are we still abandoning the constitutional right to all people of the world..????

I have a fix to all this. Make every American that came from a legit system, and grand parents, and parents who came legally back 4 generations count only and offspring.. No Tno anchor babies allowed from anyone who came illegally past 4 generations, record department can validate all this. All natural born and maybe been legally also count. Ok, everyone mentioned get mandated to wear a tamper proof wristband linked to ownership and picked up from the DMV and the bands are electronically active for six months, if cut it sends a signal RFID signal for warranted arrest. Everyone with a band can go to work, shop, travel and it's only temporary for 6 months then gets legally removed. All illegals can register on the way out and need grabbed to cube back through the front door if they have no violent or theft charges or rape/assault felonies. Temp residents/work Visas get a band too. Bring in NATO and our military to start operation clean sweep, we offer bus rides back and ditched air flights back to what ever country you can't from, the sweep comes from N.S.E.W. circling in..if caught after having a chance to leave and didn't you will have a index finger on left hand cut off as a marker for being a invader to our homeland along with a RFID microchip embedded into the wrist bone, the chip will signal in the future if you even get with in 500 miles to border and all airports coming into America. Solar drones charge and patrol the border in drives 24/7. All who participated can get in line to come back as long as clean record mentioned prior. Finish the wall using 9 billion dollars we save each year by removing All illegal from our prisons and send them back chipped and marked by missing finger...THIS IS THE ONLY ONLY ONLY WAY TO EVER CLEAN AMERICA UP!!!!! MANDATE THIS A.S.A.P. This is the only thing that will every week and send the message to the world ? This is my idea!!! Have any better solutions, this will cost us nothing being we pay NATO anyways and military. I'm waiting...???

Why do we give Mexico millions of dollars for their military and policing. Obviously they are not using it for that. Mexico should be renamed to whatever the most powerful cartel is. The whole government is part of the billions made off of drug and human trafficking. The resorts that people all over the world go and enjoy are owned by cartels, and the Mexican government is in on it. That wall sure would be helpful now more than ever. DISGUSTING, allowing this mess. Just for more votes and tax prayers.

They’re not asylum seekers, they are asylum breakers. If asylum is what they seek, send them to the insane asylums. You gotta be crazy for wanting to voluntarily move into Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York or Chicago. You know, the worse places in the USA to live. Unless you are well off to begin with.\n\nMy rant: I swear politicians use the illegal immigrant border crossings as media fodder or campaign debate ammunition. Why not set up a program financed by their home country and ours to get them physically and financially healthy to work or start businesses in their home country? Physically, because they are coming here with all kinds of old world curable diseases, due to being born into an inadequate healthcare system. Not really their fault. The cost of living is so low for them that they could afford a future of prosperity or middle class lifestyle in their country of origin. Force their governments to change economically to sustain themselves for their interests. Imposing themselves upon a nation no longer prospering as it did during and after the Industrial Revolution is senseless. There is hardly any upward mobility in blue collar jobs, ever more so in the labor market. If they are not making $40K/year (assuming the majority has not a college degree in something marketable, advanced skills, a tradesman or artisan) then they’re struggling like everyone else in the service industry. Jobs for teenagers, entry level workers, part time jobseekers like for students, people needing extra income cause it’s so expensive in CA, NY, Austin, TX, Chicago or SF living off work entry-level service jobs. Technology has created a shortage or labor gap between unskilled jobs. Jobs that Americans need while pursuing training or technical degrees for the new skilled jobs. \n\nImmigrants do not need to fit the stereotypes of working in the service industry or as farm workers. American citizens can fill these labor positions quite easily. No, immigrants, work visa or not, do not work any harder, smarter, slower or faster than anyone else wanting to work. If someone is motivated to work an unskilled labor job then they will be just as effective as the next person. The HR for these companies definitely virtue signal and satisfy diversity quotas every time they hire someone due to their work status or ethnicity. Everyone and anyone can be replaced and so the question is, who do you, as an employer, want to replace the job vacancy with? Gonna hire cause they are a good fit or because your helping some politicians cause? Gonna grant asylum cause their lives are in danger from a government firing squad or because Biden/Harris will pat you on the back? \n\nThere is reason to illegally enter this country and it is disrespectful, disgraceful, dishonorable, dishonest and disheartening to the ones who are here legally by going through the process like everyone else paying time and money. Even Christopher Columbus paid to be here, no one handed him a free ticket to ‘paradise.’ The Mayflower patrons weren’t met with resistance by the indigenous community, they were harmonious. If there was a border in Maryland at Plymouth Rock, I am sure the Puritans would stop there first to get their passports stamped. I mean hell, these ‘asylum seekers’ don’t have the courtesy to get passports, why not? Passports are not that expensive considering what they pay coyotes. It makes no sense and is suspect. They won’t get stopped at the border if they have a passport!!!

They want to get let in but they have no respect send them back and BAN them from ever being able to be a citizen or entering the country.

Mmmm ? We have LAWS for a REASON ! This is INSANELY ! ALL CRIMINALS ! ARREST ALL ASAP !!! SEND them BACK with CHARGES ! EXILED for LIFE to Never Allowed to Come to UNITED STATES EVER !! We have Enough INSANE, CRAZY , LAW BREAKERS! Don’t Need MORE ????MAGA

No need to worry. Abbott will give them free rides to where ever they want to go. Probably right next door to you.

Ever seen movies where a border is lined with automated machine guns? If this keeps up that will be the future.

Why would anyone with a brain ,ever want to go to America. \n\nI would rather most other country's that's not as big of a joke like America \n\nGo Brandon ?

These are people. Mass immigration isn't new. Every one in the comments has had ancestors who's done something like this a some point. And if you were in their shoes you'd probly put on your zapatos and try to come here to. Yall ever heard of the LLC? Greatest invention ever. I can start an entity and if it goes insolvent I can let it die with no responsibility. It's called bankruptcy. Every thing we judge people over, we have a part of that in ourselves. So sympathy and compassion should be deployed. As a country we should wish to have a program in the future built with ai and robots that would allow for processing of people at a much faster rate to integrate them into the economy effectively.
