The agreement to close Roxham Road was signed a year ago - why has it taken this long to enact that rule? Maybe the 45,000 refugees that have managed to cross in that one year were courtesy of the liberal government but housed and fed etc. at the expense of the Canadian taxpayer - so Turdeau could maybe buy himself some more votes down the line - except he won't be running the show by the time they would be eligible to vote!

once they get to the border crossing they will still let them in. Trudeaus agenda is mass immigration. Right now we have more immigration than any other country in the world. 500 thousand coming this year. Wait till you you see the price of rents and houses at the end of this year.

What a joke ,caneven supply housing to citizens but filling Canada with votes,what a disgrace .these countries where migrants are coming from and are rich in natural resources and agriculture. The problem is .The government which is corrupt should be charged with war crimes against humanity . But . The political parties are using them in a game of pawns

YOU GO TO THOSES COUNTRYS AND THE PEOPLE FROM USA CANT BUY LAND THEY COME HERE AND THEY GET EBT SNAP MEDICAL HOUSEING AND SOCIAL SECURITY I WAS SHOCKED TO WITNESS THAT AMERICANS THEY ARE STEALING FROM US SEND THEM ALL BACK PERIOD. ARE MIDDLE SCHOOLS HIGH SCHOOL ARE OVER Crowded WITH ALL THEM IMMIGRANTS AND THEY COME HERE AND HAVE ALL THOSE BABIES BORN HERE ITS INSANE STOP STOP GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY ?????????????????????????????????????????

This is sadly the right decision. Asylum is a special status reserved for people in imminent danger, it shouldn't be confused with economic migration. The folks crossing through the US are already in a safe country, relatively speaking. We let in a million people legally last year and most end up in major cities that lack the infrastructure to fully support them and creates undue hardship for already struggling Canadians. We are a generous nation but migration has to be balanced with affordability and opportunity for locals. This is all absurd based on outdated models of economic growth. Tax the damn billionaires that hide money offshore and build capacity for all then we can help those in danger more but we have such issues with poverty, healthcare, education, roads,food affordability and a housing crisis. Time people put Canadians interests first.

Where do people get off demanding to be let into a country? Every single country in the world has immigration rules. They are their for a reason. People need background checks, a skill set that is needed, and a way to support themselves once here. We have tried bringing relatives legally just on a tourist visa and they were denied. Even after we paid the application fee, showed bank accounts, etc. so anyone who just thinks they have the right to come here better think again. That’s just the way it is until reform. Opening the floodgates to anyone is not reform, it’s chaos. Would you let just anyone walk into your house uninvited?

Those ppl are rich. Look at their clothes. They can afford legal processing. We are being slammed and our tax payers money is being sucked by those ppl. I'm glad it's closed now. Enough of using our pity to make free money and housing.

illegally immigration is end - period !!!!! 1 refugee = soon 200 family members...no more no more;\nfor Tax payers in Canada Trudeau has food bank and euthanasia; for Liberals election slaves houses, money, lazy social life...

No wonder theirs like 4 families living in one house hold we're over populated

Corruption lies media manipulators destabilizing America we need to stop this in America we can afford the housing prices and the illegal are shiped to hotel room food and cellphone no COVID test no payment in the public system yes I see they say I'm illegal and that's all new York is deteriorating at the level that we have gun's and all in my family are capable of use and maintain my guns they know everything about security with guns

When they say the rich get richer \nPoor gets more poor this is why\nRegular white people complain while they rich white cousins dont give a fk because they know those crossing will clean they house for minumum wage, do their landscaping on minumum wage, build they house quicker then expected because they know the only white people who would work in construction are ex cons or drug users while the illegals are clean and hungry for money

the og people in these 2 countries are being wiped out by immigrants we are ending up homeless so they can have a house and say we are a issue if you go and poll people like i did you will find in most homes is a family from another country and lots of canadians and u.s citizens on the street not being able to rent a home and those that come here start to say we are the issue

Funny these stories of people flying through all these countries and the leaving the US to come here. Must be nice to have that kind of money. \n\nSo happy to see the border close. Go back to the US. We’re tired of paying for immigrants while they contribute nothing. \n\nThey’re safe in the US. They can stay there. Canadians are going without housing because immigrants are getting preferential treatment. NO. Sick of this. Safe third country? F that. First safe country only. Nobody should be cherry picking where they’re going if they’re really in so much danger. \n\nScrew them. It’s time Canada start looking after Canadians first. Our people are sleeping under tarps and these people with their 11 children are put up in hotels. \n\nNah. You can stay where you’re at.

cant even house & feed or support the canadians that were born and raiseds here in canada yet they can let thousands of immigrants into canada and house feed and supply them with our tax dollars. while we have citizens living on the streets seniors they cant pay for food or pay their bills ? its sickening

that will not slow them down at all , think about it if rats want to get into your house , 1 hole is closed they will find 500 holes to enter lol , canada doesnt have 5000 drones lol

Well, with everyone coming into Quebec, the housing and living costs in Montreal are going to skyrocket even more?. Greatttt?\nAll this coming from a Montrealer who’s parents legally immigrated to Canada…

Im Hispanic this needs to stop the united states cant even fix the homeless problem because of all the drugs flowing in from the. Border how the hell do you expect to house future democrats that are illegally here in this country Trump 2024

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.

Why I heard socialism was fantastic in Venezuela… why the exodus? The grocery stores have started everyone on fasting diets and pets are eating food so they figured pets should become food. But at least Venezuelans don’t have to work since no jobs and they can be skinny on the beach. Who needs lights to work in the house since its too hot to be inside. Water is overrated because the work it takes to haul it from the country side dehydrates youz anywayz. Who needs more paper money since the cost of items are higher than the extra printed in your wallet. Socialist economy instituted by dictators Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro should be praised bc these people at the border just left the country and that frees up resources.

Look at all the culture they brought to America at Ellis Island they made America just a little bit better. Poor and went into business they were great for us. These people want free stuff given to them and they complain. They show very little respect with our language. You are right that welfare free housing the works and more. More drugs they say are in America now. This list goes on. Bless them for wanting a better life but they want free benefits too much. We have Adms I don't understand. They bring us nothing.

2:24 lady is holding LV bag while she needs asylum. Govt will give free housing, food and shelter... I have seen how Pakistanis, Afgani and middle eastren game the system in the US and Europe. They work cash and live in free housing.

We are seeing this so the democrats can pull in some more people that they throw free money food and housing at and in return 2.2 million New Democrats are in the country

Bust ur way through Jim Crow Biden will give everyone 400,000$ work release and a house. Ukraine, Asians military coming through afghan Iran Iraq coming through NAZI military coming through the boarder

Not one single episode of the thousands of HGTV's House Hunters International episodes features someone moving to Canada, think about that

Sob stories are pathetic.\nHey someone threatened my life, \nSooooo I shall leave this country and want the country of my choice to house and feed me with benefits for life.

Its importante to say most of this people came from Cuba and Venezuela both countries affected by US economic block. Besides they want House and meal for free. In fact lazy people.

why doesnt Canada welcome these migrants? afterall they are just wanting a better life, right? Canada is a big land with a small population and can certainly house so many more migrants that the US can.

Republicans wanted to give documents ... \nAnd then with documents they have acces to housing and food benefits ?\nIllegal ppl work pay taxes and medical and have no acces to those benefits ?. \nThey will keep coming for documents and benefits ? not to work... demanding they now have rights to acces all benefits with out contributing to this beautiful nation

Get all the illegals out!! I'm so sick of this crap in America ??!! We ARE NOT a halfway house.. come in ybe right way Jose

What is this registration I hear that's 4 illegal immigrants? These people come here and it does affect our us benefits jobs and housing..us citizens are still suffering yet limited help is available. Biden cares more about Ukraine and illegal immigrants than hw does about the American people ?

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.

This is sad but funny. They’ll be turned away after they enter their borders. Yikes. I think they have a housing crisis over in Canada too. So, just bad all around.

This needs to end. We don't have enough jobs or any affordable housing as it is

Minimum Wage in Massachusetts = $1,900/mth Average Monthly Cost Of Living = $4,000/mth. Show me the housing.

If u help them then let them stay in ur house tf.

OPEN BORDERS DURING HOUSING CRISIS IS TREASON.

Immigrants, Ukrainians, all being treated like royalty while people who are born citizens get shot and killed, can't afford housing, can't afford food.

More than half of these people will be deported, the rest will become essentially peasants without any hope of ever owning a house or having a family doctor. Canada is currently broken they have a rude awakening looming.

Just further shows how incompetent Democrats are in the white house.

Dang it , keep the hell put of canada . There are lots of ways to stop this-- among , employers charged, no medical of any type, renting,selling,housing illegals gets jail and fined , No schooling ,any employer found getting, aiding , goving jobs to illegals means jail time --- \nSuppose any of these measures will be used, after all, justin had c hinese p olice s s tations in our country without telling anyone --- this is the last straw with all these illegals.

Canada has become entangled in the contentious US domestic politics!\nThe unfortunate immigrants may soon have their fancy dreams shattered because the locals have their own backlog issues with health care, housing, jobs, etc

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...

In 2010 I had a one way ticket to Florida to visit some friends. At the airport they pulled me aside and said that if I didn’t come back to Canada within 14 days I’d never be allowed back into America again. I was traumatized and never went back. But here we are 13 years later and I can just walk wherever I want to go on this side of the world lol…but for real, this is sad. If you aren’t used to Canadian temperatures your in trouble. Hope everyone is okay. It is rough though, I was in a shelter for two months, but some families were there for almost a year because of the housing crisis. I’m not exactly sure how this will work. ?

Imagine being a city that houses people for free, feeds them for free, and you still suck so bad these folks would choose Canada???

Some negative things about Canada which forces immigrants to leave Canada \n1) lack of corporate jobs \n2) harsh weather \n3) poor and complicated health care system \n4) high cost of living \n5) exorbitantly high housing prices .\n6) high taxes

What a joke this Country has become. Trudeau will let anyone in as long as they vote Liberal. \nWhy do we let this happen?\nWe should be looking after the people who come to Canada the right way.\nNow we pay immigrants to sit around and get houses while hard working migrants live sub standard.

Housing will never go down now

Knowing Trudeau he will throw Canadians money at the people and tell them they are all welcomed and they can all have a house for free. God I hate our prime minister

In summary USA is better for good education and housing

Are Canadians are starving...and these people will get housing and income..benefits
