I say let them all in. They’ll build their own houses and strengthen the economy they spend money on goods and services. Americans are scaredie cats - what are you scared of?? Why can’t you just let them in???

I hate to say it, but theirs nothing here anymore. They should go to other countries. And they'll take care of them better than here.

Uhhh can anyone say ‘invasion’? Where the living heck is the military?? Annnd give it a few months and we’ll start seeing half of them up here in Canada accessing all of our social programs ( ie: say good bye to healthcare for the rest of us who have paid into it our whole lives and may need it someday ) and probably being housed for free. No problem just bankrupt all the current citizens so we can hand our country over to them. ?‍♀️No problem. I’m so glad I was responsible with my money my whole life just to have it all taken away by illegal migrants.

the military down there treated like an invasion into the country and let the River Run Red they'll get the message nothing says you're not welcome here like hot lead going down rain that's how you fix that problem after that or build a dam Canal from California to Texas Gulf of Mexico 40 Mi deep 20 mi wide with one Bridge a drawbridge that goes up we can build new shipping ports brand new refinery have a coast guard and the Navy base along with the Border Patrol and their and the u.s. cargo ships don't have to go all way down to South America between saltwater crocodiles in the lemon shark that'll take care of the whole thing watching for us and the water going down to Mexico from the US can stay in the US build a new power down interrogate the Southwest and that'll take care of the water problem so how about that that fix the whole damn situation and then you can start by getting that dumbass out of the White House I see that wasn't really all that hard then second quit giving foreign aid to countries that hate us build America by America and start making America first start with families coming back together and then from there make the community and the communities make the country man united like we did back in the days of WWII because that's what it's going to take dust off the the Bible and get back to work

Good advise, be willing to start at the bottom work hard show you capable and you will move up. As a born and raised Canadian, that lived in Europe for 3 years we do have some things good here. Health care, unfortunately has really be mismanaged over the last 10 to 15 years I would say. Great vids, keep up the good work. I ll bring ya'll a real poutine for MTL next time i m in Ontario ;)

As a Newfoundlander (as my name shows) I have lived here my whole life, and maybe it’s the time here but the fog and snow doesn’t take away from how amazing it is, cause seeing fog rolling over hills are amazing and the snow and cold gives these amazing icicle trees in winter/early spring, plus thanks to the untouched-ness skidooing and off roading is amazing, plus we have funny accents also they talk about the sun not existing but it’s out quite often, even during the coldest of days it’ll be there to blind you, and it’s not really isolation cause unless your very unlucky you can always find somebody to have a beer with, and if your in a isolated place your probably there on purpose. edit: YOU SAY LAND AS LAND, NOT LIND, NEW F’N LAND

You have no idea what they have planned for London and then the UK? ?️ A UK caliphate. Shariah law. Jizya infidel tax for non Muslims to humiliate them as their Quran teaches. \n\nThey’ll say it’s a small tax just for protection - but that’s another classic islam dawah lie. The jizya is enforced to humiliate the christian’s and Jew, up to 50%, which if you don’t pay, means death.\n\nWe need Churchill back to stop this evil.

Gotta listen to what they are saying. There has to be something going on that they need to be addressed. If they are willing to go to the extreme of death. I'll pray for this group of people.

People saying Americans can’t find housing themselves, that’s because the majority of them don’t work! These are working people they’ll be fine. It’s the violence and corruption that’s driving them out!

Approx 10 years ago a friend told me of an organized plan with the U.S., UN, other countries to “take United States of American” and change it into a 3rd World Country. The USA as we have known it would no longer exist. We would be reduced to the existence of appearance and daily living as a 3rd World Country, with all the lack of financial means, lawlessness, etc that goes with it.\n\nOne would say this could never happen. Sadly, it is happening right before our eyes. We’ll be in this state by 2025. Open Borders and what we are seeing is part of our demise. Our Government is fully aware of this and involved in the destroying USA.\n\n??❤️???

Friendly reminder that CNN was bought up by a right wing billionaire. They are subtle about it but they will make sure to push right wing narratives like this now - they'll show clips like this which push people into right wing narratives(like saying we need much stronger border control) without any context, exactly as this clip does.\n\n\nThat's not to say immigration isn't, perhaps, a problem - I'm not fully educated on the subject but i will tell you they do a huge number of the jobs Americans essentially refuse to do, like picking fruit for 11 hours a day in the heat and cold. Furthermore, large business owners profit immensely off these people, and a majority of large business owners are Republicans - sure they'll go along with the party line that immigration bad, but they hire these people by the truckload and pay them shit wages, actively and purposely depreciating the wages of American citizens while simultaneously blaming it on nebulous Democrat immigration policies.

You know what I'll go ahead and be the one to say it. Your problems are not our problems. We have our own. If you want to move to the United States of America then do it the right and legal way.

If they can illegally force their way in, imagine what havoc they’ll wreak on the economy and the crimes they’ll commit to get what they want in America. They are already committing a crime by doing this, who is to say they won’t commit more (perhaps even more heinous) crimes once they force their way in? If anything, they need to direct this energy towards their government and fight for their own country instead of bringing their problems into America

Denying people the right to not live in such horrible conditions is just wrong. What would you do if you were them? You would do anything for a better life wouldn't you? Screw the laws... history says enough about the illegal immigrants that created this country. Basic human decency says this is wrong. Let them all come here. Then they'll be nothing and America can expand. Just saying there's a lot of good that could come from expansion.

This is what the Democratic Party offers everyone, take a good look around. Open borders, taxpayer money going oversees, jobs being given to illegal immigrants over the country’s own citizens, etc. The Democratic Party if fundamentally Anti-American/Constitution, that’s why they want Big Government to have money, power & control over everything! Then they turn around and make you the bad guy if you say illegals should stay out because it’ll damage our economy even further. It’s all ass backwards!!!

They send the Haitians back ALL the time nobody says anything about that though...they need to go back, they'll be alright

Understand their home guys.. they’re trapped and victims everywhere they go if they don’t have money and or a well known family. Look at their government, controlled by men with guns that they can really whenever they want wipe those guys out. If they’re homeless here they’ll learn a lesson, and they’ll die like the rest of the people on the streets.. I’m sorry it’s harsh but it’s the truth. we cant stop someone’s life? A person is put on earth by hot and god says ‘be free but love’ who tf is this bitch ass nigga in the blue suit telling me ‘yea you are part of the reason earth keeps spinning but like you can’t go here and you have to do this, and if you don’t you’ll die?’. Insanity, who we should be fucking attacking is our own government, look up the criminal record behind our people in office. But you’ll sit here in this video and watch these innocent kids cry and say they don’t deserve to come here because we got lazy fucks w no passion in this ‘great America’ headass country. Please. And im gon leave it at that, cause god gon do it best. ???‍?

Hell there ain't nowhere to live I just going to be homeless once I get here. I'll be sleeping with her cousins foot in their mouth every night. And why should we pay taxes as Americans when they ain't going to have to pay taxes in the government's going to treat them better than they do us I say everybody should stop paying taxes cuz it's supposed to go towards helping our communities and our country and it's not. It's going towards helping everybody else. Everybody else that ain't pitched in

If\nyou’re not a born again Christian \nthen chances are that \nyou’ll \nbe unable to place your right palm on the KJV and say these words once only in a calm coherent manner-> I refuse to spend eternity in hell.\n????????‍♂️

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.

I've been saying it for years, buidling a wall, or tightening immigration is a waste of time when you can just put machine gun emplacements with interlocking fields of fire all over the border. You don't even have to cover all of the border, just catch a few groups of law breakers trying to climb the new lead based wall on camera, they'll stop coming.

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!

Yes and if these people truly believed in God and Jesus they wouldn't run from their countries but actually stay on the ground and stand strong in their faith that God and Jesus are going to help them persevere through all this. As a fully disabled American citizen with a child that doesn't even get $1,000 a month and there's no available housing at all where I live no waiting list to go on people on SSI disability don't get any extra housing help we're not offered separate housing are put on separate lists and low-income Able Body people or the migrants jumping the Border but I was born and raised here paid taxes and worked until my body literally couldn't anymore but I don't hear anybody bitching and screaming and crying about the fact that my son and I would be on the streets if it hadn't been for one of my family members stepping up and giving his housing after a lifetime restraining order issued during my pregnancy on my son's biological do do with domestic abuse situation. I'm also US citizen that spent time in the Wards in Houston and projects and other cities and if you don't think that we don't have the same gun violence drug trafficking human trafficking gangs take it over cartels taking over neighborhoods and communities than you're freaking lying to yourself and everybody else. The same s*** that's taken over these countries is taking over the inner cities have been for decades and these are the same communities that most of these people will end up in. No it's not about not being good Christians part of being a good Christian is reminding people to stand their ground and have faith in Jesus and God and their own home territory and not to give it up to the crime people in the bad politicians. You can't say you believe in God and Jesus Christ and then he's got your back while you're running and that's the truth in the reality that nobody wants to hear the more people run from these countries the more the bad people are able to take over and then we get complaints here in the states about the cost attacks is rightfully so. For those people screaming and shouting that everybody should go out pick up in my grant and bring them home to their house and feed them and take them and I challenge you to do the same thing for homeless before you even do the migrant do homeless American citizens go out and really educate yourself because I'm totally tired of hearing from Americans that the only people that live on the streets are people with mental health problems that need mental health treatment or people that are stoned out and that's where they want to be you guys are so f****** wrong and this is coming from someone that met homeless people spent time around homeless people and understand we have a society that wants to paints a very different picture than what's truly going on because then it allows for hey it's not our problem they want to be there. I will say there's two I'm sure a lot of people are attracted to come into the United States I mean it's kind of turned into the Devil's Playground don't you think I mean look at how ostentatiously people live the projects on the backs of taxpayers selling dope holding down dead-end jobs to make it look like they're working all while going out and getting their hair did and their nails done and their eyelashes done and pimping out their cars and all that b******* and buying all this you know high-end tennis shoes and f****** clothing and Handbags and s*** and then we have the part of the United States that justified of themselves all the time or it's okay to have this huge palatial house or have multiple houses I'll we have United States veterans living on the streets or people that truly have disabilities that have been a waiting list for 2 and 3 years for housing. I remind people all the time and they hate hearing this s*** Jesus never had a house as a matter of fact Jesus basically live like a homeless person after he was an adult particularly and God made sure he was provided for. I mean did you all forget the night they came to take them away they were asleep in an Open Garden it wasn't like they popped up tents or glamper camper sites had some little Adobe type cabins they were sleeping in. As a matter of fact if you pay attention to most of the stories about Jesus and talking about him sleeping he does a lot of sleeping Outdoors. Remember God is a father that's how he's been represented and talked about in the Bible and Jesus was a man without a doubt no biological transgender question ability there. People need to remember that part of being a fair and loving. Is also teaching and discipline and these children following rules. I don't believe hearing God and Jesus telling all these people run from your countries and not have faith that I'm actually going to fix things for you and go run to somebody else actually go run to the United States where all those stuff is traveling through. I never understood the logic of that it's like rats run from the country where they're making the drugs to the country that supplying the globe with it and we're all of these bad people have thousands of people in planted everywhere with guns and hookups. I don't know why people don't understand that we have dirty lawn forcement in dirty politicians that are in bed with the dirty drug cartels that's as much as they are in the country. You don't think that there's not decisions made in the United States based on drugs and I'm not talking about how to put it into them but how to keep them flowing. I have Fred still in Florida and we were all making jokes about how quickly Sanibel Island all the way up to st. Pete got Mainland access so quickly after the last major hurricane that took everything down and we all know what it's from is because that portion of Florida is used to bring a lot of drugs in from South America, Central America. So for all of you that want to post your personal assumptions about homeless people because that's all it is unless you've actually been homeless or spent time around homeless you really have no clue what's going on in the homeless population except what you've been told by the same political talking head media bulshit that's been lying to everybody about a bunch of other stuff too. Don't you get it the politicians don't want people knowing that a lot of the people that are homeless on the street are people that are disabled and aren't disabled because they have mental health problems I know that's the narrative they've been trying to stuff down people's throats.

You see this because you all cried racism bs when trump tried to make sure the boarder was secure and build the wall, so we could try to fix our country and the millions of folks here suffering and then build build us to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN so we can help folks in need. And be sure that people with I’ll intentions can not rush the boarder like this incase any, if not many of those folks were here to do harm or to our country or Americans that live here. And this is what you get for playin identity politics. Now the left will do as they do and try to say Trump and Patriots let them in. Wtf.

Why is this happening she says we'll look who you igits voted in there's your answer and notice how him and his crony could careless

Trump was right never thought I’ll say that

In 40-50 years we'll be emigrating to Asia so I say let them in. Help us build the boats now haha.

Either you defend your nation, it’s border and it’s cultural identities or you let such floods of outsiders in your country, we’ll let’s just say it’s Never Been Good in the Entire History of the Human Species.

It's sad they'd rather cross willingly knowing they'll be arrested than to be in either Mexico or America. That's saying something.

Odd how cnn won't say illegals are crossing the United States but they'll say illegals are crossing the US Canadian border illegally ?

I'll say ur Uber

Stop or I’ll say stop again…\n\nCanadas Liberal government is a joke… Send them packing

Say what you will about Trump, but this shit would have NEVER happened if he was running the show right now. Just calling what it is. Ya'll voted for this. Wake up. Look at what's happening. This administration we have has other ideas..

I’ve watched the video and I’ve read many comments. My message it’s to immigrants, Canadians & everyone. Just be some patient to read for you to think reasonable after this. I’m sure you’ll start to be reasonable regarding Canada. I had a good life good job & a nice home in Ukraine. Due to the barbarian russian invasion my family & I fled the horrific situation in Kharkiv city. I was driving a mini bus of 4 families! Most are children. We’ve arrived to Europe. Crossing many countries (Poland, Czechia & Austria) we’ve arrived to the country leading the EU. In Poland & Czechia, we’re treat very good by the people. In Austria we got hardly a payed hotel where children could get a rest!!! We still didn’t understand why they don’t want to give us rooms despite we’re paying for our staying!!! In Germany, I believe that the government did its best. But the number of comers is huge! Of course many they got disappointed as happened with me! But I still understand and believe that really the government & people did theirs best. So fast I got a job! The social connection helped to introduce me to the company! But i was not hired, I still to express myself & my qualifications. The manager was understanding, so he accepted to communicate in English and to offer me the job in case if I am successful doing the job during the first week at the site. I had to change the machines menu into English. So the manager was very satisfied with my job and I got that job. The rent! You’ll get it only if you receive the blessing of each member of the county and a very strong social connections! The doctors! To make just a blood work for my son it took 45 days of waiting! To get the doctor appointment, you need that a German guy call and get you the appointment! Because when my wife called, the secretary said: we don’t speak English! But when my wife went for her visit she figured out they’re speaking English better than her!!! My son has an issue of hyperactivity, so they refused to accept him at school more than 3 hours a day! And he was excluded from the birthday parties of his colleagues aswell other events! Other Ukrainian children, they were just attending classes! Just a show! No body cares how help their integration! About, the taxes! The half of my income was going to the government! The money back?! Only 200 euros/ month for my kid. And nothing else. Nothing! To get a neurologist appointment for my son it was necessary to wait 3 months! Prices?! Everything expensive! Technology?! Not better than Canada at all. Bureaucracy, Canada is much less. Banking system, Canada much better. Where in Germany?! The best province in Germany “Munich”. Where people stoped long ago dreaming to purchase a home. Guys, Canada doesn’t through broken people as we were in camps! Where nothing is human there! Canada doesn’t enter you in cercle of hell bureaucracy just to get your kid into school! And if he needs a support he get it right away without any background that he’s not our!!! I got a good job in Canada; so fast. Without any social connections because simply I do not have any. I rent an apartment for my family, without to proof to the landlord that I’m the best guy in the world with a witnessed county about that!!! I want you to be sure, that I am not the lonely case. Just ask Ukrainians stied in Europe for a while before they move recently. Just ask them. I am not saying it’s a paradise or cons don’t exist. Just paradise doesn’t exist! And cons are everywhere. Just I want you to be fair about Canada. Please, be reasonable! The cons in Canada are not catastrophic, and it’s not difficult to fix them. It may take some time, but not difficult. Believe me it’s not about only Canada. The whole world is going a step back! I wish that my experience, helps to understand appropriately.

Gotta' say, tap water is definitely one of those things that'll differ. Pretty sure that, where I grew up in WA, our tap water was bomb. Certainly I've lived in some other places in the states where that was not the case. It really depends.

Be careful in Canada if you say what they don't like you'll be put in a Reeducation camp....

I was about to say were ya'll flying any way, Vancouver to Toronto and that's it LOL also idk how expensive it is because flying down here is not that cheap down here LOL.

Very interesting pov. I completely agree, especially with Montreal. I'll say the weather in America is preferable to Canada

Aye shout out DMV I. Actually about to me to PEI and .........its different out there and ya'll right on what yall saying

Canada big ups. Definitely, when I have been to the states, the racial segregation was one of the biggest surprises. Being from Toronto, you'll legit have every culture within 1 floor of 1 apartment building. Then go to like Jersey, and not see a single black person in an entire neighborhood. I REALLY like the diversity of Canada, at least in the big cities. Happy to be raising our daughter here, we actually went out of our way to ensure the daycare we put her in was pretty diverse. \nNow, in our small towns, shit gets a little.... I don't wanna say RACIST per se, but definitely a lack of cultural diversity. Annnnd maybe a bit racist lol. \n\nBesides that, our Universal healthcare is definitely one of the reasons I am proud to be Canadian. It's not perfect, but Canadians don't even understand the idea of medical bankruptcy. Like, how could anyone be against the idea of having a system that gets rid of that? Because taxes go up? Like, we all get old and sick at some point. You DO get that money back with the healthcare you receive eventually, and in the long run, pay less per capita than places with private healthcare. It's like being against your pension. Makes no damn sense to me. \n\nLastly, I gotta throw a little shade on the overly patriotic nature of Americans. Like, the US makes great entertainment. They are a world leader in making entertaining shit. But besides that... y'all ain't so great. Your good, y'know, top tier in terms of countries. But not better in most ways than other first world countries. Worse in a few. Canada isn't perfect, but you don't see Canadians constantly claiming to be better than everyone else. It's such a weird flex, like, everyone who isn't from there knows it's not true. It's like showing up to a car meet in a Honda Civic, claiming to be faster than everyone else, laughing and driving off. It's just weird

I'm from NY, my buddies and I took a party bus to Montreal 2 years in a row for 2 bachelor parties. All we could talk about was how beautiful the women were. My God, not saying they're better but my god they're gorgeously unique. You'll have a woman that's West-Indian, French, Black, and Native and she legit looks like no one you've ever seen before. Kudos to the Canadian Women.

Yeah I can say idk shit about anywhere else cause I don't travel but YALL TRAVEL TOO FCKIN MUCH. Y'all don't know enough about most places you have to get it from the experience of people who live there. It's not segregated with blacks and Mexicans in la it's quite the opposite like no shit every other race hates black people that's a given anywhere you go but, blacks and Mexicans in la stick together from my experience living here my whole life. Then again ANYWHERE you go you'll see groups of the same race hanging out together that's a given.

This was a really cool episode. I'm a born and raised Canadian, but my friends and my fiancé are all from the USA, so I've got a firsthand look at the differences in our cultures and countries.\n\nOne thing I'll say right off the bat, I think a big part of what makes Canada work the way it does, is that we have such a small population compared to the USA.\n\nCanada only has around 35 million people, but there are some states in the USA that have over 40 Million people on their own. \n\nWhen you have that many people crammed together in one location, all fighting for jobs and housing and food and everything, it makes sense why you might have a culture that's a lot louder and self serving, because you have to compete with millions of people if you really want to make something of yourself.\n\nMy hometown of Edmonton Alberta, for example, we had a population of just 500,000. And I think the laid back attitude that a lot of people have in Canada is a product of that. \n\nThat's a big reason our crime levels would appear lower as well, because there's just a lot less of us.

I’ll keep my guns and my freedom to say what I want. You guys now live under a de-facto dictatorship. The ATL is the best city on the continent.

Pathetic how you always blame everything on racism. Always somebody else’s fault right. Be a man and you’ll have zero problems! I’ve worked with many different people in -30 outdoors and they were there on the job site because they deserved to be there. They were outside and -30. They didn’t complain or quit. They worked! So usually people that complain just have inabilities to be hard! \nNow if you’re applying for an office setting customer service industry or critical care type job and you can’t construct a sentence nor comprehend the language of that country you’re in that’s a bit of a problem wouldn’t you say. I’ve hired the right people and I’ve also fired the right people, I’ve also worked with many different types in Canada and this racism thing is just a bullshit excuse! It doesn’t hold any great people back! I guarantee you that. Improve your skills as a Canadian that might help.

I’m not being rude however I’ve never understood why immigrants say they come to the US for a better lifestyle when essentially majority of immigrants hold a prestigious skill in their country only to relocate to the US & become a janitor cook are something beneath what they were doing living a comfortable life just to live like a homeless person coming to America ?? are Canada ?? are anywhere. It has never made sense to me unless u live in a poor underdeveloped country. I knew someone who married a US citizen just for citizenship she has been struggling with her kids for the last 7-8 years she’s been here & still struggling but had a great life in her own country. I live in the US & it’s overrated to a certain extent stay in your country you’ll be a happier person.

I notice how the young lady says that she’ll earn well live a life and fun on the weekends just like we saw in the movies. Except movies don’t always mirror reality. Hope she understands that she is lucky to have a lovely father and a beautiful land. One faces lots of depravities as an immigrant.

1) someone who didn’t knew what a kirpan is, called cops.\n2) The cop didn’t knew bout it either.\n3) they thought he possessed a weapon.\n(It’s ok cuz ofc they had no idea bout it)\n4) as y’all can see, after further investigation, they apologized\n??‍♂️ that’s it. No hate to anyone. It’s alright, not everybody on this planet knows about Sikhism and the rules we have to follow. \n(To some people who’ll still say that “a weapon is a weapon and he can harm us”\n… bro stfu and do y’all’s research man ? \nIt’s the same logic as “a cop is carrying a gun and he can harm us at any moment.”

I know that the actions seen out here in the video is kind of an extrem, but I believe whatever measures were taken it was for the welfare of keeping everybody safe in which my Sikh brother had no bad intentions but it was all an honest mistake.  According to my understanding he could've worn the Kripan under his T-shirt.. no disrespect to nobody but I'm here with all my Love and Respect to all.. \nAnd He being out of India.. people might have heard or know about Sikhism but respectively being in a totally different country it'll be a cultural shock to some of its fellow country's residents and that too he is in an educational environment or zone where a lot of unfortunate events had occur in the past few years due to violence.. so taking these reasons and unfortunate incidents under consideration.. our dear Sikh brother did not do anything wrong in openly carrying a Kripan (knife) for it is his cultural right and had gone some kind of a rituals in order to carry a Kripan for self-defense. But people will still feel some kind of uneasiness when it comes to weapons seen in and around educational area or zones. \nSo whatever measures had been taken for the safty of all.. especially by the security as he was doing his job by understanding the situation. No heard feeling to nobody but I just wanted to get my point across regarding this incident. N I know my Sikh brothers n sisters will definitely come to an agreement of understanding in what I'm trying to say..

I'll be dead honest and say I'm slowly losing my faith in Sikh community recently, because what these khalistani Sikh guys are doing to Hindu community in Canada(or let's generalize to the whole of North America)
