The "smugglers" are basically scammers.. you can do this route on your own.. you just gotta Google it and figure out where the crossing is. And then call a cab from the u.s. to pick you up.

When I was a cab driver like 13 years ago... i hungout with an Indian from India from my work. And he was nuts. Like crazy in the head. Talking nonsense and stuff. I knew then this whole doctors and engineers thing is a charade. I even asked him about his mental diagnoses, and he said "the canada didnt care". ( im born and bred canadian) saskatchewan

Majority Indian and pakistani have migrated to Canada are from lower social strata worked a truck drivers , cab drivers . That is why canada has khalistani dominance. Upper caste Punjabi ( Khatri Brahmins Kshatriya) are majority in UK running business ( Rishi Saunak - Kshatriya ) USA is full of Maharashtrian literate class brahmins ,kshatriya and not concentrated in one place rather every state . New York Atlanta Ohio Texas has Lewa Patidar Zorastrian Parsis in high no. It is khalistani ( more or less similar to afgan pakistani muslims) mentality of creating mob and disrupting law and order.

There is a video on how a Canadian citizen should leave Canada and come back as a refugee new immigrant! It's sickening because the government our tax paying dollars are paying each immigrant $224.00 per day to be housed in hotel room and food etc?! This is wrong as how come ppl like myself awaiting to have my knee replacement surgery I am only getting $1208 per month on disability EIA? I am sorry but I was.born and raised a true Canadian citizen from Wpg Mb Canada, I have never relocated and came back to Canada I have always remained here right from first day I was born! I lived threw our most brutal winters we have ever had and yes I lived it and still and were is my $30000 or should I say $53000, $1000 for each year born and raised here in Canada is what it should be!? These immigrants come here need to learn English language fluently both speak and listen in it as well, they should not become a Canadian citizen legally until they have resided in Canada for a substantial amount of time! A Canadian citizenship status should be earned big time no matter where you came flat out before getting any benefits of any kind and be able to buy and sell homes here too!? I find cab drivers muslems mostly very ignorant and rude talking in their language while on the job behind the wheel must add yes ppl driving you to your destination and not to mention do these.ppl stop to think maybe your clients passengers get annoyed listening to that on their ride to where ever,???? NO NO NO!! YOUR WIFE, MOTHER, FATHER OR CHILDREN WHOMEVER SHOULD NOT BE BOTHERING YOU WHILE YOU ARE ON THE JOB WORKING?! When I go to work as a nurse do you see me talking to my spouse or family members while I am helping my clients eat or bath and get dress, NO WAY YOU WOULD BE FIRED!!? Us Canadian citizens need to stand together and our tax paying money we should have a say in where it should be going not to ppl who are not from our country!?

Yep we are screwed big time, here in Moncton New Brunswick we only used to have a small number of Immigrants usually a mix of francophone students and refugees properly vetted by immigration. Jobs were available for everyone, a small example is the taxi cab drivers who were usually a mix of older semi retired Canadians, Sudanese and Syrian refugees who communicated well and tried to adapt to their new home, Canada. COVID hit and we started seeing Punjabi’s coming in unprecedented numbers, they say as students, from Brampton Ontario?Overnight all Walmart, Taxi/Truck Driving jobs, Tim Hortons, McDonalds were Punjabi jobs who do we blame? Rents are high, jobs once available are unavailable life has become hard where do we run same people voted again for the same government that has destroyed us 😢😢😢.

Cab you be our president Justin?

The buses and any cabby who are breaking the laws should be losing there licenses, cabs and buses and be prosecuted for breaking the immigration laws and trafficking!!!

16000 , where did he get that number? Should I tell you about the thousands that crossed into Canada, after the mayor was giving them bus tickets to the border, or the ones that flew into NYC and caught cabs to the border. Roxham Road was very busy for years.

Cancel the licences of the coach companies bringing them from the border . Also check all the cabs and restaurants in NY for illegal workers .

Buses..cabs..Need USA credentials or walk!

Good, get the hell out. Sending over all your slimy low end lazy student wannabees. GET OUT NOW. Cant ride a bus take a cab or even get a doctor as a result. You wonder why. Punjabis would do the same if it were the other way around.

Taxi cab drivers in New York

I guess if canada did this we would have no cab drivers no one to work at tim horton's or mcdonald's suddenly surry would be empty and we would have less drugs and crime

I was in the Missouri when i got sick. I drove home and was diagnosed with a brainstem tumour. 10 hr surgery, 4 surgerical teams, icu, wks hospitalization. Months of rehab and homecare. The school even arranged a cab to take my 5 yr old to school. I have seen bills for pts who didn't make it home and had to have surgery in the US before being repatriated back to the icu i worked. It was an eye opener to see what they were charged for a box of kleenex, a catheter, an iv bag etc. I would have lost everything if i had to have surgery in the US. \nMy sister is currently in hosp in the US, and she is getting good care. I drove down last time she was in, and i was impressed by the lovely large CCU bay, but, hey patients are paying for it. She had a fancy postop CABG pillow to splint her chest when she had to coughed. It had a cute surgical heart on it. I am sure it cost $$. In Canada, we give our pts a regular pillow, some iv morphine and tlc when it hurts when they cough, no fancy cartoon pillow, but no bill either lol. She's a senior on medicaid so she's not going into massive debt or dying in her home to avoid going to the hospital.\n \nI have been travelling to the states since 1976 as a young child. I love the states, I have a lot of family there. My dad lived there until his death. My great grandma immigrated and died in Montana. I have never had a negative experience there in over 49 yrs, other than the old lady backed into my parked suv in the hobby lobby lol parking lot l\n\nA big plus in Canada, is paid Maternity/ paternity leaves and also caregiver leave. Your mom has a stroke or child has cancer you can take time off work to care for them with partial pay and not worry about losing your job

Please stop criticizing every ranking, every index. Look at the amount of Indian illegal immigrants almost everywhere. UK reported 1lac of them in 2024. Why do you think any country wants this!! I mean Indians are ok to die and enter other countries illegally, drive cabs, become cleaners, earn below minimum wage than to live in India. Look at the people quitting Indian citizenship every year. Pls Palki, don't make it seem that India is amazing and all is the conspiracy of the West. High networth ppl have left India. Take some ownership. Criticism of your country for good doesn't make you bad. Waise bhi GDP me top bhi ho jaae aur per capita income low rahe toh koi danka nhi baj rha hai desh ka..

Send every fn one in the last 20 years especially ones in fort mack driving cabs pulling shady shit abd you know what I'm talking about

You can't tell me taking a cab to the border is bringing legit asylum seeking people, it's a fukn joke and I am sick of them all!!!

The number of detention beds cab be increased and doubled immediately. So no big deals!!

So here is how things will move on going from here, and this goes for people reading the comments. And full disclaimer I live in Victoria, BC so I can share my POV from the Canadian side:\n\nThere's toomuch of low skilled cheap labour coming in from Punjab and other countries like Nigeria, Philippines, etc. Its gotten sooo bad now that even Indians living in Canada are feeling like this is not what we came for.\n\nI can't even start with how bad the immigration has gotten, people can barely and I mean barely speak English and they are working for all possible low skilled jobs. Tim Hortons, Uber delivery, Uber Cabs, Petrol pumps I mean what is going on.\n\nRight now its getting to Canadians, and you need to understand that Canadians need these low skilled jobs for themselves too but employers are finding extremely cheap labour from other places to replace Canadians.\n\nSo if you ask me this move is good, it will surely hurt the skilled labour class too but its needed. Imagine have a million immigrants coming in with a country that has a population of 40 million.\n\nThe infrastructure comes to a stand still, housing is ruined, food inflation begins. \n\nHonestly thanks to Diploma mills, Asylum seekers and gangs from Punjab, its honestly gotten bad from the Indian perspective. Now add to this others coming in from Africa and South East Asia and you can see this country get worse honestly.\n\nThis isn't hate against anyone, its just facts.

Canada more then sucks...think about how the government cares about people from other countries vs. People in canada! Canadians that were born here and lived here forever do not have another country to go to!!! Immigrates cab move back of Canada doesn't work out!!! Give me a break!!!

Anyways.... Madam Canada's ancestors were definitely NOT the natives of that land. At least until a couple of centuries ago it belonged to native Canadians whom the White ancestors of Madam Canada extremely brutally almost exterminated and grabbed that land, the means which are far different from the means how Indians are migrating and gaining citizenship.\n Indians are definitely generating wealth, paying taxes and help the society by indulging in wide range of jobs from medical, technical fields to low profile service sector jobs such as restaurant service, cab driving, Supermarket counter staff etc.. By sheer hardwork.

We got enough cab driver's and convenient store people.

Last week I called a cab to go for my appointments in town and a private car shows up in my drive way with an East Indian driver newly arruved from India? when I ask him what he need he said he is a Cab I called, I said no you are not this is a private car he said he just applied for license and Cab's Name, I told him then you cannot work and pick up costumer yet and this is Canada you need to follow our laws then he left after? but I take a picture his Car and license plate and call a Cop after.

You have raised the number of students, their working status, and the employment authorization for students' spouses as a cause for the housing problems in Canada, particularly, it's negative impact on affordability. This is factually true, However, there are two sides to the housing affordability equation, which are the supply/offer on one side, and the demand on the other side . If we need or require the affordability equation to be balanced, we need to deal with both sides of the equation. Furthermore, and regardless of the issue of foreign students, and their spouses, the lack of offordability will not significantly improve, as the supply is the accumulation of many years of deficit, due to bureaucratic, regulatory reasons, and the lacking, or the deficiency in housing policy, at all government levels, and all related taxation, budgeting, financing, and general economic policy adopted , or omitted in dealing with inflation, interest rate manipulation by the Banque of Canada, inadequate competion issues, investment in main street, instead of the Wall of Bay Street, political sanctions, and tariffs, etc..This immigration issue needs to consider the demographic, and labor needs of Canada, while in the same time, or in tandem, prepare for the required housing supply, and other needs, and requirements in term of reviewing the rules and procedures, pertaining to integrating the professional immigrants in their professions instead of excluding them from professional organizations such the medical, and the ingeneering, professions and so on. Many of such professional resources are driving cabs in Toronto, Vancouver,and Montreal. So to blame the housing crises on the immigrants only, will not define completely the housing crisis, and may not help to solve it.

Want proof of these taxes paid!!! How many work for cash like a cab driver who does. Only serves ftw and students.

Cool,more quiky gas stops, tikka masala and cab drivers,since we all know USA could use more cab drivers.. I'm sure vivek ramaswamy has a chubby for this news

No wonder, East Indians are causing a rift between Canadians & themselves mainly b/c of the vile nature of many of these people who come to Canada & abuse the social services & exploit the system especially those foreign Indian students who come to Canada to these dodgy & nefarious schools &/or diploma mills & then they stay & don’t have a proper residence permit & don’t contribute to the Canadian economy! They also are very unsanitary in that they get truck driver jobs & not only can’t drive properly b/c many have just bought their driving certificate &/or a fake driver license! Once they get a job driving truck, instead of stopping to use a bathroom, they cut a hole in the floors of the truck cabs so they can take a crap through the hole or urinate w/o stopping b/c time is money! It’s so bad that mechanics will not work on those trucks b/c the undercarriage is covered with human fezes! They are also very ignorant & know nothing about please & thank you or smile to customers! \nThey have also been accused of using beaches; such as Wasaga Beach in Ontario as a toilet!

Bruh I had a cab try to steal 20 bucks and I hear all the time these guys try to steal natives. This guy is okay

The thing is, if they came here to “study” and actually got a degree in something that could benefit Canada, they would be offered the opportunity to stay. \nHow are all there “students” leaving these schools with nothing to offer, other than working at convenience stores and cabs?\nThe entire point of post secondary is to gain knowledge and skills for future employment. \nThey we’re obviously never interested in gaining an actual education, only a past track to permanent residence. \nThere are immigration “consultants” that advertise on TikTok in Punjabi, out of Brampton, that apply on their behalf to take advantage of loopholes on our system that turn visitor visas into work visas. Absolutely disgusting.

You cab thank to those who voted for Trudeau. We left i 2021 when our freedom was suppressed and it was tge best decision ever.

Can afford a cab to the border case closed

You leave your country to be delivery drivers and cab drivers, then you complain the country not being sustainable.\nLol, what do you expect.\nStay in your country, work for your own nation.\n??????

Thats what Ive always said...how many more cab drivers and nail salons , landscapers, carwashers, food truck owners do wee need in the U.S. ??\nAGAIN..most arent doing anything more than they were or could do in their own country.

some news reporter said that crossing the boarder is a 10 min walk across that field showed. Id like to know how exactly it is that these migrants WALKED across THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER which divides canada from northern Us STATES. There is NO WAY any cab from Ontario is going to be allowed to cross the border with a bunch of immigrants in it.\nTHIS POST IS A FULL ON LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much are we paying for five hour cab rides? My guess is its more than moat citizens make in a week

Those cab drivers are making a killing

Any cab driver who aids and abetts criminal aliens should be charged.

Canada changed their Visa requirements to work directly with the cartel. They are making money off of this as well. Everybody is getting their pockets greased Canada, the New York governor, all of them the cab drivers if we start car b any cab driver that leaves the city and Heads north.

All that cab money going into the economy! ?

If these people can afford cab fare from Canada to New York City they are not poor. Just getting to Canada is expensive. The refugee story does not add up. They are well off and are just looking for free food and housing . Someone has put them up to this. If there are problems in their country solve them do not run away and bring your problems here.

I live near that gas station! It’s a Dunkin’ Donuts Mobil on rt. 9 in Plattsburgh NY! But the busses now go to the govt center because there is more room for cabs to wait ??. We are just over here helping. NYC can have em. Keep upstate outta it

Mexican cartels in canada trafficking illegals working with Indian/pakistan cab drivers from NYC, USA ? yeah this is getting weird

The cab, private drivers are breaking the law, aiding and abetting illegals come into the country. They should be arresting and prosecuting smugglers.

Al those cabs drivers and Uber drivers should be charged with trafficking felonies

Believe it or not the northern border is actually quite secure. The US flies blackhawk helicopters they patrol 100 miles both sides of the border. also, there is no shortage of cameras my point being is \nthey’re watching the people as they know cross.\n\nThe cabs and buses that are meeting. These migrants could also be buses of the US military. \nThey’re being let come into your country deliberately. The migrants might think they’re sneaking into your country, but they’re not sneaking in homeland security the NSA They’re being watched as they come in.\nit also wouldn’t surprise me to see these migrants are getting help from either or both of the RCMP and CICIS last and this is where I’m sure a lot of people are coming through there is at least two incredibly big reserves that straddle the border. They’re in both our countries were the majority of all the illegal cigarettes come in Canada comes through along with blah blah, blah, blah blah blah ..

All planned, canada also, ngos, other countries, busines, planes, cabs, hoteles. Must go

I live 40 mins from the Canadian border and I’ve seen yellow cabs on I-81!

Wait a minute! No passports, no visas! WTF! Buses and cabs transporting them? WTF! Borders 100% open! Then why do I still need a passport to go to Canada?

Any Medallion Cab that participates or ride share (Uber,Lift) that participates in this should lose their operating liscence for human trafficking. Enough is enough!

They no longer use that gas station and are having a hard time finding a place willing to sign a contract with the bus company. Currently they are using the DMV/Government center as the bus station.\nAnd this has been going on at the northern border for years. Ask a local cab driver.
