What took so long?

Why would an Australian be upset if they get confused for New Zealanders? That's an upgrade dude. If someone confused an Ozzie for a kiwi, the Ozzie should do keep their mouth shut, ride this wave of good fortune for as long as possible. It's like in America, if you went to Sanford University and people thought it was Stanford University. You don't correct them, you just let them be wrong.

This is should have been done long time ago.

There is a huge backlog on legal applications for a lots of immigrants who applied legally, families torn apart and have long weight. They are already in the USA, there are sanctuary cities, New York was just dumping them off there. We tax payers are flipping the bills for them while so many Canadians are living on the streets. Those who are mad and outrage by this, you can go ahead and sponsor them, that mean you are legally responsible for all their expenses. As Canadians, even when we cross the border we got to have our passport and we go through a lots of scrutiny. Fill out the paperwork and wait to be processed, because right now we are already in crisis with lodging and food. USA is the one who must take care of those who cross their borders.

Long overdue. Send the ones who came here before illegally back Trudeau. We simply afford to fund and welfare these people for the rest of their lives and their posterity as well. Having said that,leave their countries alone so they can thrive.

Sir, mre pas ek job offer hai but I dont know what to do? I m a nanny and my employer wants me to join soon but limia has 3 months processing time and temporary forign worker programme has 45 weeks, sooo long processing time. i m worrid what to do?

POILIEVRE is getting things done already and he's not even the PM yet!! Trudeau has had too long to burn down Canada. Cant wait for the confidence vote!! #trudeaumustgo

They allowed people in ...this way, simply because they need cheap, desperate manpower in this country. Don’t be naive and think the authorities don’t know what they’re doing . Anyone who is familiar with the NORMAL immigration process knows all too well how long, and how difficult the Normal process is.

Wonder how long this will last? They will create another port of Entry.

Long overdue, Canada can't afford or should I say refuses to house and provide medical/dental for people who have been here for generations. Canadian government likes to wallow in the spotlight sending millions in aide overseas when it can't house and provide proper health care to its own! We may have land mass but we cannot house the world, not as it sits now.

Yes!! Good job ? we Canadians cannot afford all these immigrants coming by the hundreds!! We have Canadians who need housing and cannot afford to pay their rent. They must go to the immigration office in the right and proper way. Roxanne road should have closed a long time

About F@#$ ing time! Took me 6 long years to LEGALLY migrate here

this crossing has been a problem for a long time.

They gave me 6 years as visitor how long can i stay??

A failure in governance that this took so long. ?

Why did it take so long???

Brutal. Why has this even got this far. Should’ve been take. Care of a long time ago. Only in Canada.

Wtf took so long, govt incompetence

Go back home!! I can't get over why this happened for so long. Canada can't even take care of it own people and we work to pay taxes to help people who don't follow rules, but true Canadians have to - what a bunch of BS! Canada will soon be garbage unless someone bucks up with some common sense, which Canada is showing it doesn't have much of.

So if it was so easy to close it why did it take so long? Oh yeah, because Trudeau is a traitor to his country.

This should have happened long ago

Definitely a lot of chaos, a long with dividing and conquering right now..

You all have to be processed you can't just enter those born here have to have documentation so does everyone else it's that simple the gov has to have prints photos paper work. So we know who you are and can prevent cartel members getting in our country. This country would collapse from so many just sneaking in think of the crime rate as well as the strain you all will put on our economy because you all know they are gonna want food stamps, housing aid the works. What does that leave our own citizens who have long ties of both serving our military, building our communities what's that leave our ppl for aid we alAmericans. Plenty Mexican americans. So it's not like their not included in definition of an American. Even they understand illegally immigration will destroy the vary freedoms, and quality of life everyone wants to come to America so bad for.

I received a call Within 3 hours from this side . It is really a trusted website ❤ . I talked with agent almost 1 hour and I provided all necessary detail and my Application is in process. I am 100 % sure to get a good news within 10 working days. insha'Allah.\nThanks you Shaoib Bhai. Allah live you long . Ameen

If they where Italian. It would be ok. If they were from Poland. Perfect. Ukraine Greece. As long as you have blue eyes. Come on in

Put control with paperwork in the boarder. This people already came long way to your door.USA needs to realize this holding people at the border is not about humans right.Let them coming please.Find the criminals and let the good ones in.Are only Americans are allowed to travel all over the world? Give the privilege to this people also if Americans are the one traveled first to this peoples country now they coming here to see your place.Need to have always the Good Samaritan heart American.Do you have soft ? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.Love the neighbors.

My family and I came to the United States back in the 70’s because our country became a communist country . We were granted asylum and a long expensive journey began for my family to become US citizens and proud of it !! It is mind boggling to say the least to see these people at the border like this ?? you just can’t go and barge into another country without the proper documentation/ permissions to enter . I don’t know if this is full blown ignorance or where society as a whole is where there is NO respect for authority anymore .where are the lefties at when you need them to see something , but even if joe and them saw this they would still look you in the face and tell you nothings going on ??? unbelievable

We Need Trump Back. Trump Would Handle This A Long Time Ago

Hi! Great video and generally balanced in terms of the ideas expressed. Having lived in Canada for a very long time, I have to say that it's a good place to be but the two glaring problems are: 1- the healthcare system is broken. It's very hard to see a doctor and even harder to see a specialist. We pay a lot of taxes and at the end of the day we don't get the services that we paid for. I'd rather pay out of pocket but get to see a doctor when I need one. 2- Canada is a Nordic country so you'd better like winter when living here. By contrast in the US you have a variety of climates so easier to find something that works for you. The cost of living is, I agree, very high in Canada, but it all depends. If you compare it to living in California or New York City, I'd say that our cost of living is cheaper. But in the US you do have the choice to live in a more affordable mid-size city, while in Canada options are much more limited (big cities only include Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary).

I honestly root for them. And I hope they all collectively move into a border agents house.. idgaffffff I hate this damn country anyway.. avg IQ in the US is under 98… and it speaks volumes.. country where majority of the people LITERALLY can’t do basic maths yet all of them have a superiority complex. Btw I’m confident many have tried “the legal” way.. but they’re not Asian or European so they’re not instantly accepted. They’re put on years long waiting lists.. and most probably don’t have regular access to a fuckin computer and phone

Thanks ladies…\nCurious why you live in what is well known to be the most expensive city in the country and judge the whole country by the rent etc you pay in Toronto? The rest of the country hates Toronto too!\nYou want to make a lot of money but don’t like to work long hours? That’s not how it works btw…\nIf you are waiting 8 hours to be seen at a hospital it is because you have gone in w a non emergency. That is what triage is…get a doctor and don’t use hospitals unless you have serious emergencies.\nYou are lovely ladies and I hope you discover how things work over time…\n\nPS The weather means you need winter activities! Embrace it!! Get outside…cross country ski, go tobogganing, get some skates…not so boring unless you’re stuck inside!\nGood luck.

The US is very lenient towards immigration and has many processes in place to facilitate it. I know that it takes a long time, but there are so many immigrants applying that is it simply not possible to increase the rate of immigration and maintain the integrity of the country.\n\nThis type of assault on the border is not and will never be effective, what are they thinking?\n\nI know that many are Venezuelan, but Mexico is also to blame for allowing this. It’s their side of the border.

It’s so stupid how people who have legally applied for citizenship have to wait so long and get nothing and illegal immigrants don’t have to

Hello CNN . You guys visit\nOUR border but not yours on Texas and others in your country shame on you !!!! I guess once you have a republican in the Whitehouse ; you will visit your borders !!!!!! Think long and hard about this situation

As long as you’re on the North American continent, you should be good.

I had to wait 6 years to get my wife over to Canada legally. Canada needs to fix their immigration system. Why import illegal immigrants to Canada when Canadians have to wait a very long time to get their family members to Canada ? It's because the government spends ALL of the resources on illegal immigrants that's why. I found out because my sister works for Canada's immigration, but she can't do anything about it because upper management is told by the government to help illegal immigrants first. LOL

Illegally crossing 2 borders criminals are so cool as long as they are breaking immigration laws!!!

Don't speak english or French, probably have no skills needed and thinks will have a better life? Wow, they are in for a rude awakening. Sky high rent, don't make much money, high taxes, terrible health care with long waits, bad weather, shrinking job markets. But hey, get a free coat and gloves?

Selling house in Ontario and going back to Saskatoon. Tired of the housing prices, horrible heath system and Doug Ford. Winters are long out west but it is amazing in the summer and cheaper.

Great I'm trying to move to Canada the long, legal, and right way, but these ppl gotta eff that all up! ?‍♂️

As long as They leave Mexico, I am happy.

This is disgusting if you want to come to any country including Canada do it the right way legally!!! How long till we run out of money!! We have Canadians that can’t afford food and heat and rent. But we take in more and more. Take care of the citizens already here!!!!

Retailers, grocery chains, food processing plants are so delighted for this. More people to accept low wages and long hours, and also no benifits.

I hope you people realize that these comparisons don't really matter to us Africans. We have seen worse already. As long as someone is safe, healthy, happy and has a job they don't really care about all these things. But still I chose Canada

Can't say I've ever had enchiladas on ice. They won't stay long

I submited an application for asylum through the sponser ship of five peoples and the church bail . tow month after my submission they send me amessage that the bail was approved and they sent apepers to canadian visa center in abudahbi for security processing after nine months they asked us for fingerprints.photos and some applications . My question is what are the next procedures and how long does it take until they give us visas and is it possible for them to rehect our asylum application?

As long as Canadian are protected mainly worn who marry these guys thinking it is true love and realize later it is only for paper damaging Canadian women stability. They can come but must be some rules tow work within 3 months and possibility of loosing PR if sponsor found there were not genuine alt least by 5 years.

As long as more and more refugees move into Canada, racism cases will be increasing

Over 250,000 illegal entries PER MONTH. How much is enough? For how long?

are we supposed to feel sorry for economic migrants gaming the system, looking-for the best deal”I think I will have a better quality if life in Canada”; TRUE REFUGEES FROM WAR, PERSECUTION:yes, every person who wants a better deal—sorry get in line and apply for visas. STOP THE INSANITY AT BOTH-BORDERS . I am a life long dem and sick of this BS.
