We need better control… this is ridiculous and unsafe for actual citizens and legal residents.

if you enter canada it must be legal . there are so many criminals coming to canada it is out of control. canada needs a big wall.

As a Canadian this irks me so much. It is a slap in the face to all Immigrants that came to Canada through legal channels.\nI think the message this sends is: Fuck going the legal way, this is way easier.\n\nI've heard the Premier of Quebec say this is a huge problem for his province, it costs the Govt of Quebec a lot of money to house, feed, and provide medical care to these illegal aliens.\n\nHard to believe that Jelly Ass Trudeau not only encourages these people to come here illegally but welcomes them.\nAs PM the first thing I would have done is erect a huge fence to discourage these illegals.

So there are millions of illegal immigrant entering USA .. and there are programs to make them citizens .. So the immigrants who legally stay here and pay taxes are stupid isn't it?

We bring in enough immigrants LEGALLY, as is...we don't need America's illegals entering here too. Keep your phentynol dealers and criminals there! After all, you want them in your country and keep telling them to come, you can at least keep them there once they arrive.

Freaking Joke Canada. \nThen legal people, with everything in order, are forbid to enter the country.

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

Canada accepts more than 2.5x the immigrants per capita as the US. That is with a far more rigid system. So yes, those requesting asylum are treated humanely and under international law. That doesn't mean they will ultimately be accepted. As far as legal immigration, there is a defined system so only those needed are accepted. It's not always perfect, but it allows immigration to benefit the country.

Rubber bullets, 40mm, other non-lethal of course, but put a stop to it. I have no issues with LEGAL migrants, but this illegal crossing crap is ridiculous!

It's funny they try to migrate to countries with immense taxes for their citizens and legal workers, and with social programs paid by these tax dollars. All they have to do is get there somehow and illegally OfCourse, and then give birth to couple of dozens of kids then and bingo. They work for cash, doesn't pay taxes and make use of social programs paid by legal residents who pay taxes. So unfair and people who have sympathy for them should at least accommodate one or two families in their own homes after preaching about others being accommodating.

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!!!!

While the legal immigrants face a lot of obstacles, those who want to pass the border illegally are welcome ??

Crime rate will increase in Canada. \n\nThis is so stupidly unfair to legal migrants working their ass for proper documents, paying loads of cash, and being scrutinized just to enter canada.

They come to Canada because they know it will take years to process them, they get to live for free on the tax payers dime. Full medical and dental and housing as soon as they cross the border illegally. \nSadly, 10's of 1000's of immigrants that are trying to do it the legal way, have all been put to the back of the line due to the govt using all resources to process all the illegals.

Hell its not that hard to get into canada legally. Look at our government they just keep opening the door wider

Kick them out. Send them back..\nMy parents came legally, come legally you people. We want high skilled immigrants. Not losers.

Mofo American govt. Legal immigrants are facing years while illegals are given all luxuries. My wife is in foreign country and even after paying attorneys and all the fees correctly application facing 3 years time.

wait they talk about how bad there home countries are but are in America now and are trying to cross Canada illegally? they are just wanting free stuff. I am Mexican and grew up in America but learned from my dad that said these people ruin traveling as a Mexican for every law abiding citizen because it makes people think he's illegal. he even got arrested by border patrol because someone called saying he was illegal but he was actually an American citizen who did everything the legal way.

i do hope that the legal migrants take precedent and always go before any illegal ones.

Meanwhile the fools stay in third world countries and apply legally. Paying fees and lawyers and watch the criminals be welcomed.

It's not fair for those who wants to migrate legally!

But meanwhile there’s hundreds of thousands waiting LEGALLY to come here???‍♂️

time to send them all back home so they can do it the LEGAL route instead of doing it ILLEGALY.

Meanwhile legal immigrants, who earn higher salary, pay more taxes, and by law can't claim any entitlement programs, are toiling in the immigration system for decades and living in the fears of losing their job and being sent back to their country of origin in a blink of eye. Yet liberal media and mother teresas of lefties never talk about that because it doesn't fit their narrative

I don’t feel sorry for these people they should do things legally it’s not stay in the country you came from why should you come and take our resources taxpayer money that’s not right and we shouldn’t stand for not here in America not in Canada ship them all back where they came from

I don't know why they keep coming over here they can get no jobs or not legal no social security number no nothing at the

An Americans caught aiding these people should face legal charges from the Canadians, they are enabling criminal activity.

The illegal crossings should be stopped ,They should not let illegal migrants Enter Wonderful Canada or Beautiful USA ,The only legal way that is valid visa given by the US Embassy should be used to enter these wonderful countries , Beautiful USA n Canada should control their borders ,God bless USA my favorite destination and also epic ,iconic Canada

The system rewards those who enter illegally while those coming in legally and honestly have to go through so many hurdles. This whole system is hypocrisy.

No one wants to call out illegal immigration for what it is another countries corruption and failures of its own population so desperately poor they want to move to other countries whose population live a better standard of living but suffering themselves. Why is this fair for legal born residents to put up with illegal poor people

Yeah. What the hell? Got to do it legally. Get rid

i am by no means against immigration but it needs to be done legally. im an immigrant myself and it took me years to get thru work permit, landing and PR. yet those\nppl can just cross the border illegally and claim asylum right away skipping the queue. that aint right...

Entering illegal, it's a crime but the corrupt government allows them, gives them taxes payer money, etc . I am a immigrant, 30 years in Canada but I enter Canada legal, followed all the entering laws, papers... Never did any crimes

Immigrated to Canada many years ago as skill worker in the engineering field, and there were no opportunities in that country, Canada just needed laborers to fill out factories and people to do the jobs that the Canadian born did not want to do. I ended up working in my field in the USA, and salaries and opportunities are much better in this country. Americans are very practical, they just want someone with the right knowledge. When applying for jobs in Canada, employers were very obsessed with Canadian education and experience, but in my opinion, that was an intentional way to block immigrants. In the USA I was never asked for American education or experience, the interviews were very straightforward, very technical, they just wanted to verify technical knowledge. In conclusion, if looking for professional opportunities, the USA is much better than Canada, but legal immigration as a professional to the USA is extremely difficult.

Big joke...really what these countries are doing...joke on legal immigrants..

I think some people are confused, I think that crossing is a legal crossing through authorities, he’s saying if you cross illegally through a different unregulated crossing then you will be arrested. Many people with legitimate cases will be allowed into Canada but it’s a lengthy process. \n\nHe’s also getting the lady’s bags because many who cross this checkpoint do have legitimate cases, if they’re already going to be citizens they should be treated that way unlike other countries who treat all migrants like illegals even while crossing legitimate checkpoints and separate kids from parents and leave them in unsanitary cells

It’s so unfair because some people apply legally and spend so much money just to live and work in Canada while this people just enter illegally. Our taxes we pay provides the need of these immigrants.

BECAUSE TREUDEU LEGALIZED COCAINE ! HOW MANY BUSINESSES ARE GOING TO RELOCATE BECAUSE OF IT NOT TO MENTION REGULATED OPIUM

Take care of our citizens first!!! Not the illegals that steal our jobs and real estate etc!!! Prosecute the businesses and corporations that hire these criminals. Prosecute the banks that lend to them and apartments that rent to them. Then they will self deport!! There is a legal process and they refuse to abide by then they need to fix and riot in their own country in order to make things better instead of running from their problems!!

People trying to get into the US the right way through the legal process of H1B visas is basically a lotto. Skilled workers that have been educated in the US only to be turned away instead of being valued. They deserve priority and should be rewarded for their dedication.\n\nAnd here you have unskilled migrants who may not even speak English, running into the US, and putting more stress on the gov’t at the local, state, and federal level. We cannot be a welfare state or we’ll go bankrupt.\n\nWe need a better system.

Why is this even a problem. You have papers u cross, u don’t you DONT!\nSame with Mexico, you don’t legally cross, YOU DONT CROSS

Canada is the easiest first world country in the world to migrate to legally and these fools still try to cross illegally

Of course they feel safe and super secure here in Canada because the govt will provide them everything, food, shelter and the monthly financial allowances. On the other hand, Canadian govt is getting credit and be known as the best humanitarian country in the world with the expense of its citizens working hard to earn a living. I am just voicing my sentiments here coz it took me 10 years before I am reunited with my family here. I was a nurse back home and in UAE entered here as caregiver. Before get back to my profession, I underwent many struggles and hardship. And still striving to live a comfortable life since everything is expensive now a days and govt seems no care to its citizens. instead, looking after of their world image. And I know a lot of people spending thousand of dollars for student visas to to enter legally here with their family back home financially drown with debts. And Some working visa still waiting for years get their open permit and Permanent res up now.

This is not fair to the people who apply to enter Canada legally.

Not everyone can just be considered an asylum seeekr bec of too much crimes in their countries. Grow up! Crimes happen evrywhere ieven in the USa. So if our attitude is just to let everyone come in for free to our country because their own governments are unable to fix their law and order problems, we are fkd as a nation. True asylum seekers were vicitms of war like vietnam war, Ukraine, Iraq, afghanistan (bec our own US govt caused all the strifes). African countries with civil wars. gang or drug crimes dont count because those are also our problems here in the US. If you work in a hospital like me, you will realize that the illegals crossing the borders (i think they have more sophisticated means now) bring their whole families including very sick ageing parents, disabled family members. And guess what, we are taking care of everyone of them more than our own citizens. I have no problem helping people but if our government shows more biases and leninency to the illegals more than the US citizens/legal residents, then I find that problematic. My heart breaks when the social worker would pressure me to discharge frail, sickly aging pts within nte 48 hour time frame bec medicare wont cover them and they are not eligible forrehab facilities as their status are observationinstead if inpatients while the non-citizens can just drop their chronically ill family members bec they cant take care if them as they are all working. They wont even claim them bec they are “busy”.\nThey can just do whatever they want as they dont have to worry about paying for hospital bills or have credit companies go after them. We are also taking care of their US born children but they are not paying taxes. Our co’untry is in the brink if bankruptcy bec of misplaced sympathy. If we really want to help these people, give them work visa so they can be legal and taxable, or better help their countries to help with drug wars, etc. We cannot sustain these kind of unconditional financial bleed for so long. Before we know it, the whole population outside the Us, have transplanted themselves here for free and without fiscal responsibilities.

We paid thousands of dollars to come here and brought thousands of dollars to be legally migrated here. This is so unfair.

It is high time Canada should put up electric fences on its borders, easy entry for criminals, terrorists, ...the government can not even feed, house, educate and provide employment to their own Homeless people, why accept Non Canadians. Well educated and skilled immigration applicants find it too diificult to legally migrate to Canada but ???? Assylum seekers too easy to enter Canada!!! Government increase taxes to support all these refugees and assylum seekers free of charge while Canadians can not cope with inflation..what an irony...

Send them back to where they come from. People are welcome to Canada if and only if they enter legally.

Ive paid more than $12 thousand with visa during the last 4 years here, in order to work legally in canada, and this people just gonna cross the boarder from NY???! This is so frustrating and unacceptable

I wish this wasn’t happening, people should feel safe and stable wherever in the world they’re from, because we’re all people and all need the same things!\nI know legal immigration is hard and takes forever in a lot of cases, I feel all our governments are broken
