Need to make a U-turn.\nWhen they rush the gates the u-turn takes them right back to Mexico!?

The powers that be is allowing this madness. I blame the left and the right. They reward those people for breaking the law. they wouldn't come in the people in the White House wouldn't give them food stamps housing medical care and allow their children to go to school. they come with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Every administration allowed this. America puts others above its own citizens

I know why your seeing this right now news lady, because biden told them to come when he was running(I watched it on tv during the debate)and your top border guy thinks this is a challenge and not a crisis. Gj Dems this is on you

There shouldn't be any barriers to travel as all people have the right to travel anywhere in the world! I want to get the ACLU do a class action lawsuit to stop this violating peoples right to travel!

Exercise your Right to Travel People!!!

They want in, they have to do it the right way.

And when i say the wall need to be built popple look at me like I'm racist like i am immigrant i was poor born in a port in God grace we manage to get our visa and passport, i am not even joking qhw. I'm saying one day we will only eat rice i know where I come from, war, dangerous street at night, just crazy stuff be happening like this is not right it doesn't matter how u look at it American as an immigrant yes there are certain i don't like about the country but what the hell is this.

Americans first for forever and always. These people will not just get an easy opportunity to come in and do whatever they want. Yes, they deserve a chance but do it the right way. The tax payers will not and should not pay for their wellbeing.

I respect all people. But you don’t have the right to just enter any country you desire cuz of problems. I mean those people were running with smiles on their faces like it’s Black Friday. Life isn’t easy for someone without the docs to be in US. but THATS the way it should be ??

This is bull shit there has always been thousands of people coming out of the u.s and going into it they work there and have family that still live in Mexico it happens everyday has for 100s of years remember Texas used to be a part of Mexico. Most are Americans who have dual citizenship not people who are from fuckin Venezuela. Btw I used to live there when I was in the army for 4 years seen it everyday. Vs outsiders who have no idea what is going on this is right wing soundbite write. All over it.

Where are the immigration officers on horseback...oh thats right, they only beat certain immigrants.

I will say I have been lucky in Calgary (moved to Alberta in 2011; became perm res in 2018) with my healthcare. I have a great liver specialist and family doctor as well as a backup. I just fell and cut the back of my head Monday (2 staples but nicely done; I do not feel any pain). I know that is not common for people. I think some of it is timing based on the comments. It will only get better if we quit USing it (i.e. politicizing it). As an ex-pat watching that dumpster fire, moving to Canada in 2010 (first year in YVR) was the right step for me (however, that said, being that I am plain white looking male, I know that made it so easy at least until I applied for Perm Res. Then, being a white american worked against me). Luckily, I had been involved with a Canadian citizen several years whom sponsored me for Perm Res. I really enjoy seeing your POV in your videos. Thanks for posting them.

But yet when they come they use seniors for a home then unalive them so they keep the house I hate Trump but he was right about Mexican they just steal and unalive plus they usually addicts

idk about you guys but that is not the kind of people i would even want in my country. my parents immigrated too but never expected hand outs nor did they ever recieve financial aide of any kind. why give our taxpayer dollars to these people when we are not even taking care of our own people? people that they themselves have paid into the system. i have also worked with them and its been the worst experience. they dont want to do the work right and get offended when you try to coach them. they show up to work to recieve a check but dont come to work to work. they are people that just expect things to be given to them because thats how it used to be when venezuela was rich off oil. its sad that this is how they represent their people

This makes me mad because other than the true American Indians we are all immigrants from generations back. Can we afford everyone no but do we or have we a right to do this no. I don't have the answers for how to help them but I don't think this is the best way. Have them line up in several lines and if they are not criminals from there home then we should tell them that we have no work or much food and they will be what we call homeless but let's not forget that we haven't always lived in houses with running water and electricity and cooked outside. My grandmother and my dad and mom all went through the great depression my dad and mom were children and all they had to eat was lard sandwiches. I will pray for God's will to be done here and every where

Nahhhh America has our own problems right now. We’re CLOSED

Self entitlement is a leftist idea, not a conservative value. You’ll never see Brandon saying we don’t have the money for this, unless it would be some sort of right to life, initiative, or second amendment, initiative, or anything that makes America great, but when it comes to government spending money we don’t have and pay for it by printing money. He will do that.

They they need to use stronger means which will let them know this is not acceptable you come in the right way or you don’t come in at all

We should jus get it over with & make Mexico the 51st state of America. Right after taking out the cartel’s the Mexican military & their government. They are all in bed together anyway. Then we can have a mass migration south & not worry about getting taken advantage of. Jus a thought ?

Venezuelans deserve EVERY American right

Keep them in the states. We don't want them in Canada. Enter legally the right way. This is planned biden administration bullshit.\n\n (And my parents are from South America snowflakes.)

This should have been done from the beginning, those supposed asylum seekers are put in hotels at our tax dollars. There is NOT enough housing for those who have legally come in.\n\nWhy should these border jumpers skip the immigration line. Want to come to Canada do it thr right way. This isn't a free for all.

Well done, USA invaded, corrupted, destroyed many countries around the world. People of those countries should be entitled in USA and have the same right as an American.

What's crazy is how desperate these folks are to get here and the people that are already here are trying to vote away everything that these people desperately seek: freedom!\nWe shall learn soon if we don't stand up and fight for freedom. \nLeave our rights alone! Legalize the Constitution!

To all the people in the comments upset with poor, desperate, people with no power instead of the American government that has undoubtedly destabilized these countries to the point where their citizens are fleeing to other countries…know that you are angry with the wrong people!\n\nThese people just want better lives for their families! That should cause everyone to question why they want to leave? Is there something we can do to support change in their countries so they don’t want to leave? Can we advocate for that in our politics? Is there something we can do to make housing more affordable? There isn’t a housing shortage, we have 600,000 homeless with millions of vacant homes! Can we advocate for the rights of people over giant real estate companies like Blackstone gobbling up houses and apartments, making them unaffordable before we scream that there aren’t houses for these people?!\n\nThe complete lack of effort around finding a solution is mind blowing to me! Everyone just resorts to basically saying they should all be kicked out!! Why can’t we find a solution? I just don’t get why this is such a controversial issue! Kicking them out or criminalizing them is just sweeping the issue under the rug. It doesn’t solve the problem, meaning after a while they will come back and we will be right back where we started. \n\nI guess I just feel like there should be a little more compassion and problem solving when talking about immigration!

These fkn dirt ppl ain’t taking us serious when we tell them they can NOT enter the U.S. and claim ASYLUM and take legal residence within minutes because u have HUMAN RIGHTS!!! FUCK NO!!! Before y’all come running and crying over here, y’all NEED to take dis shit up to YOUR OWN FKN GOVERNMENT and bring all ur drama to YOUR GODDAMN PRESIDENT!!! Ask YOUR LEADER of YOUR COUNTRY for PROTECTION and a BETTER LIFE!!! Why should AMERICA help you when you extort, kidnap and torture AMERICANS (mostly tourists), especially our WOMEN and CHILDREN!!! Without MERCY or REMORSE, but with CRUELTY and ENJOYMENT, you VIDEOTAPE CUTTING OFF the HEADS of MY FELLOW AMERICANS and POST IT ON THE INTERNET!!! And now u say we AMERICANS have a DUTY to PROTECT YOU and YOUR FAMILIES?!! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUR FAMILIES!! And FUCK YOUR GODDAMN COUNTRY!!!\nTo ALL of those ppl who are trying to force their way thru our border patrols…. We will NOT welcome you to America with smiles, hugs and flowers… but instead we’ll greet you with LEAD, COPPER and GUN POWDER!

Fuck ILLEGAL immigrants. Come through the right and legal way!

Trump was right

Trump is absolutely right this is an invasion..Americans need to build bigger wall for illegal entry.

Sure be nice if we had a completed wall right there...

Then they want to wonder why people want to send illegal Mexicans back when we can barely even house people as is and especially with our economy right now ridiculous tbh

Trump was right. ??

Born and raised Cdn and every point you raise is valid IMO and experience. I love my country however, it is hard to get ahead, we work too much, and cost of living is so expensive. The reason why Canada is wonderful for those who stay is A) Charter of Rights and Freedoms - we are protected by laws and citizens enjoy legal, justice, policing and gvmt services that help protect quality of life. B) it is a safe country primarily and not easy to reach for insurgents, terrorist attacks and political anarchy etc. C) We have so much land and space for people to decide where they want to live - density is not high so you can have space. D) it is a beautiful country with awe inspiring nature. E) we do have one of the best immigrant populations and that is our crown. Being diverse is a blessing so if you are atheist, Christian, Muslim etc doesn't matter - you can enjoy freedom to worship as you wish. And F) Healthcare could improve but, the quality of care is world class and speaking as a breast cancer survivor who's treatment ran $120k (diagnostics, chemo, surgery, radiation, med professionals, rehab and drug therapies) we have access to that care whereas in other countries you may not.

Only Mexico has the right to come to the USA, these South Americans have nothing to do in the North since these are not their lands. Colombians, Venezuelans, Argentines, Brazilians, Russians, Ukrainians and Asians have nothing to do in my lands of the new Spain.

While a lots of people paying to do the process right and waiting for interviews all that crap is coming in with none stop

Fight for your own country to make changes. We fought for our rights.

Future democratic voters, and a giant middle finger to every immigrant that did it the right way.

Haha America are famous for fighting human right issue n often busy by stick their nose on other country business.. congratulation USA da land of opportunities ✨

Bout damn time. But why don't they just have a huge gate they can shut right there ? Or better yet a huge wall along the border?? ?

I know there are worse places than the US but , baby trust me our country is a mess right now! You sure you want to come in?

Trump was right

But is America really yours to keep them out? A lot of those people ancestors(Native Americans) were forced south by the colonizers they just want what’s rightfully there’s ?

The right needs to embrace immigrants that bring traditional values. Were being overrun by homegrown weirdos.

These people were told, that they were going to get it after the fire at the immigration center in Mexico, where 39 people lost their lives, only to be taken back and this why these happened. It feels like it was done in purpose to feed the right wing narrative that there is a crisis at the border, when the real crisis is the system's lack of personal to processs their Asylum forms.

So the US Canada border is news worthy but the US Mexico border is not? Right.

Disgusting!! Globalization and brain drain at its finest. These people have no right to be demanding entry. The US and Canada need to start setting a better example, it’s blowing up in their faces and us tax paying citizens are paying the price!

Desperate people do desperate things, and may take absurd risks out of fear. These people, PEOPLE, are likely terrified of what happens to them in the lawless cartel-controlled border areas... Scenes like this that demonstrate such desperation break my heart. \n\nI don't think anyone watching this would do anything different if their choice was between trying to escape exploitation, robbery, rape, and murder, and getting arrested by Americans who will, at least, respect their human rights (mostly).\n\nDo people really think that any significant proportion of these poor, dispossessed, desperate people, and their children, are criminals trying to infiltrate and take advantage of the US, rather than hoping and praying for a place to live, a decent job, basic dignity, and some safety and human rights?\n\nBut, y'know, let's be honest. There are a lot of Americans that only see brown people 'invading' 'our land'... I wonder how Native Americans feel about this, eh? (Seriously, I'd like to know... Anyone?)

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.

Thank you democratic party. The democratic party has aloud this to happen. I say round them all up and send them back. Let them do it the right way not just run in and go on welfare and get free housing and health care. We can't take care of our own people how can we take care of millions of illegal immigrants? Just asking and saying

We can't even afford it here ourselves... Try to get your country back under control if possible. There is already so much competition right now in Denver that I will need a wife to afford to buy a home here. It is ridiculously hard to get a home here unless you make $100k a year and were sent here from California with $50-100k support from their families, us normal people cannot compete with that.
