Some people have commented about Indian accent, here are the facts. \n\nSo only Indian accent bothers you. Unfortunately, we Indians are the world leaders. For the following reasons with our uncomfortable accent\n1. In the USA, we are less than 1%, and guess what? 6% of the yearly tax of the US is paid by Indians. Look at the statistics. It's all there. \n2. In the US and Canada, most of the hotels, gas stations, and liquor stores are owned by Indians. \n3. CEOs of the tech giants are Indian. \n4. Even UK Prime Minister is Indian. \n5. The winners of spelling bee competitions are Indian kids. \n6. Median family income among Indian Americans between the ages of 25 and 55 was $133,130 in 2019, well above the white median income of $86,400.\nWe don't care about people who could be judgemental. Yes, the accent is not important for anyone who wants to grow. No heartfeelings. I said this just to clear the vision of some people.

One of things that I learnt 33 years ago when I moved to USA was not to convert the money because you won’t be able to eat. I sponsored my mother almost 20 years ago and she didn’t enjoy living here because of her life and friends back home. It was very difficult to move here especially when you are in your fifties and especially if you aren’t working. One of the things that aunties are exaggerating is about the cost of the restaurant, I have never eaten in a restaurant that cost $400 for 4 people, even some of the best steak restaurants don’t cost that much. Final thing when they compare the Malls of Canada with India with limited supplies actually the malls here carry sizes that are not even available anywhere in the World. I do respect their views.

4 years later and Canada stance immigration is getting even more strict. Even more unforgiving. They have basically said they will not accept any refugees or grant asylum anymore unless your Ukrainian. even the refugees that are coming from the United States to Canada are now not even being accepted and immediately turned away and sent back to the USA

The part about the banking system is at best a half truth. Canada looked like it came through the 2008 crisis better than the States because the government did not allow a correction in the housing market. Rather, the Canadian government kept the party going with free money, which made the balance sheets of the banks look good, but over time caused housing prices to inflate far faster than household income. The result now is wildly over-inflated housing prices which - coupled with increasing immigration of well to do foreigners pricing Canadians out of the market - has come to the point that many Canadians born in Canada can no longer afford to live there. This in turn exacerbates the brain drain to the USA, which further reduces Canada’s innovativeness and international competitiveness. \n\nHowever, the universe mandates equilibrium, and this house of cards will come down sooner or later. When it does, Canada will be facing a far worse financial and economic crisis than the USA did in the late 00’s, as all of the Big 5 banks will become insolvent.

Sis is the same in the UK but I believe you would not want to go back to Nigeria abi.. the USA is around the corner I hope you would not still be in Canada by the end of the year ooo

It was his mistake…. What a moron… this is USA buddy …. U carry guns here not the knife u silly

Lived in us for 10 years and also Canada for 7. I can 100% say that life in Canada is a whole lot better then USA. Although pay is more in USA, it’s quickly eaten up by all the expenses and trust me when I say you will spend a ton. Your entire city you live in will most likely try to eat away as much of your wallet as you can. People and going outside is just better in Canada. Usa really really sucks apart from pay, especially for kids unless you live in an expensive city. People are Riddled with hate and it’s not safe for kids to play outside because something is def out to get them. Usually it’s a car or a criminal. One thing I’ve noticed is kids in USA end up doing drugs a whole lot more, because there’s not much for the kids to do. Kids can’t spend much and can’t travel far or at all, so they resort to drugs. With my hs done in highschool, a huge majority of the schools were doing one or another sort of drug. Also I’m back in Canada because life as a student is just a whole lot better then the snaky system of USA. Both suck in their own ways though, Canada a whole lot less, plan to move out to an eastern country anywya tjough.

Well, ya decided to leave good ole USA.\nThe grass is not that green over the fence.

let me tell you the difference between Canada and the USA, USA is the only country that defeated the British empire and gain independence in 1776 , on the other hand Canada is not a country, territoire britannique If you don't know now you know. Just my opinion ???????????

These people don't realize they're the new wage slaves tricked to serve on a factory line plantation. They'll get to work and get like 2 paychecks and then they'll be deported and the company will steal their pay over and over.. So now they're making the same if not less than they would of in Mexico but now they're paying higher tax in the USA. The American Dream is a pyramid Scheme.

If we think it’s bad here in the USA, just imagine how MUCH WORSE it is in their own country, for them to want to come to the U.S. so desperately. What I’ve witnessed, is that immigrants cherish the USA more than U.S. Citizens! WE TAKE SO MUCH FOR GRANTED HERE, and most are not even happy!

We are not set up to take care of all these people heck the people that are already here can't get help and im talking about real Americans because our government is to busy taking care of Mexicans it's sad Mexico won't start taking car of there own people and every Mexican i worked with has no plans on staying in the USA ?? they all said when they can retire they leaving and going back home rich just using our aid to get what they need then there out it's fuck America then

The border between Russia and Kazakhstan is about 7 thousand kilometers. That means that the USA-Canada border is not the longest.

One thing to take note of is that amongst the UK US Canada Australia. The UK is the most visa friendly among all of them. Why is it that most people especially nigerians and other african countries are going to the UK than USA and Canada.. getting a visa to USA and Canada is not easy due to their foreign policy, and visa policy as well. Unless you're from a country their government really like then they give it to you without stress. The UK is more lenient with visa acceptance and of which that can change at anytime if they decide to review their policy.

As much as I sympathize with them... The USA can barely take care of their seniors, disabled, veterans, homeless and can not handle a mass exodus. Admit 5 and everyone will take that as an invitation. Nip it in the bud. Everyone coming across the border is coming with their hands out for food, money, housing. And most are so ungrateful that they turn around and badmouth the USA for not putting them up in swanky digs.

Etown sucks! Try Calgary it's way better than Edmonton. Sorry to inform you girl but racism is real and is everywhere in North America! Being black in Canada or the USA is alot easier than being native American. I'm on your side but the reality is the indigenous peoples of North America have it worse than black people. Racism is a reality of life because white people have been taught that they are superior since birth and even if they are not taught that their white privilege eventually shows through.

people care less about the topics you have highlighted here. for an example LGBT rights doesn't play a huge role in day to day life of a person who is not identified as one, legalizing weed, how less religious people are etc are not even things that makes up to top 5 priorities. Canada is WAAY more expensive than USA (and most of the developed countries), its infrastructure is way subpar than of USA (or even some developing countries) and lets not even talk about the joke of a healthcare system in Canada. to see a GP people has to stay in the queue for 3 MONTHS!!!! THREE MONTHS!! its pathetic after paying so much taxes and getting a healthcare service thats worse than a third world country! and why do you not talk about the fact insurance plays a huge role here if you want ANY kind of a service without staying for months until your stage 1 cancer grows to a stage 4 :)

Imagine being in a country where the government is so corrupt and capitalistic that you have to flee to another country just to get a job and make enough to keep your family alive. Everyone say Venezuela is socialistic but the government send their sons and daughters to london to shop luxury goods for hundreds of millions, thats not socialism, thats CAPITALISM!!! Socialism is when you have military, courts, prison systems, government etc paid by the people (like in USA). If you were from Venezuela would you stay?

They should stay from their respective countries. USA is already full of migrants , their natives . If they insist to reside in US they could no longer feed them or else the consequences is not good. And if you raise your family only two children is enough in order for them to have a good education and for their betterment.

They all look so happy and emotional. \nThis should not have happened. The government needs to give free unrestricted access to these poor people. There is something called humanity. \nThe Spanish colonization completely destroyed the native American people, their culture, religion, language, economy and unnecessary meddling of the USA in Latin America toppling governments to establish USA puppet governments and Banana Republic policies of the USA, the millenniums of White man policies and involvement in their domestic matters have took a toll. \nFree and unrestricted access should be the only reparations USA can offer to these latin American people. May be also, the USA can make Spain to colonization reparations to boost their economy and stop this exodus.

So you base the whole white population of Canada as racists on the opinion, dubious at best, of yet another Black woman suffering from severe victimhood syndrome. Before you yet again insult Whites, prove to us ... why her brother was fired, and had the N word insinuated, Mommy sues and wins for what ? and she herself was mistreated in a Health Centre, very unfortunate family or just people hoping to find offence at every turn. Prove what's said or shut up, because none of this is remotely true AND YOU KNOW IT !! Being a bigot is pathetic, and you're becoming farcical in your desperation to prove that 1. Blacks are always wronged, discriminated against and abused. 2. Whites are all evil racists and white supremisists. The real truth is Africans suffer due to uncontrolled corruption across every Black Nation, there's unbelievable inefficiency at every level of Society, and violence against one another is endemic, also considering that the continent has been occupied for over 70,000 years longer than Europe (Which was covered in ice) you haven't achieved a whole lot, what little you have achieved is moreover thanks to white inventiveness, Science (Malaria vaccine in 2022), exploration, Engineering and education. If you can't be grateful for all the great general achievements of whites in Africa, at least stop stealing our Heroes, Fictional favourites and Royals to copy on screen and elsewhere. Not the most imaginative people judging by you, it may be flattering to some, but sad in reality. Lets be honest, nobody is dying or drowning to get to Africa or the Caribbean, young Africans go to extreme lengths to reach Europe, the USA and yes Canada ... grow up !

This has been happening on mexicos southern border for months now. Mexicos president is wayyyy too nice to kick them out like the US is. And most of these people are stealing homes, kicking locals out of their homes and taking over small cities in Mexico. It's not usa problem neither Mexicos problem. It's the southern countries problem. They don't come here as peacefully as most immigrants that come from Mexico. So many people have already been hurt by all these people just barging into Mexico and people in Mexico are suffering for this same reason.

An American and Hispanic here.\nI can confirm without a bias that the USA is (personally) better.\nMy reasoning for this is that we aren’t so cold, and we are not as complicated.\nHowever, Canada is cheaper to travel and to move to for immigrant than the US.\nBut, the buildings and cost of living is incredibly high.\nIn the US, there are some good areas.\nHave a nice day, folks.

I see lots of mean people. The USA is huge.. build bloody houses its not like you are short of space.

We can't even get our own benefits but you the USA will go it to these criminals illegal is illegal period give my American benefits to me not them

Even tho I don’t think this is correct, U.S people luckily finds themselves on a good position to see this just as people making a tantrum to enter the U.S, proudly I say I’m Mexican American and I’ve lived in Mexico and Brasil as well, non of those Latin American countries I lived is as bad as Venezuela and even like that I’ve seen some very messed up shit, they are countries with a huge culture and beautiful but on the lowest levels it’s a pretty dark place to be…so for the USA people here that is heavily throwing shit, be some kind of human try to understand at least , I get it, I don’t think this is the way neither, but they are not just people trying to invade to take over or whatever, I even saw a comment saying that they should shoot those Venezuelans, the world is a pretty messed up thing now, and luckily or unluckily we don’t really know a shit about it, they are DESPERATE it seem like they were violent and most probably some of them tried to get violent but most of them is just desperate people trying to have it better in their only and one only lives..worst yet, if you have a kid, imagine how worried would you feel for not being able to provide your kid with a good life… see the people in the front for example, they were people begging and crying, is being desperate for having something better, and this is a really biiiiiiig subject with a lot of issues, wrongs, misunderstanding… you don’t know how bad is going in Venezuela, not even me, but I can imagine it cuz I know how bad some people have it in Mexico, and they don’t know how them illegally getting into the US is going to affect the US, I try to get all points so I don’t think this is correct, this kind of events shouldn’t be happening, but I also understand, just to put it in perspective, I’ve talked with some people from Venezuela and they’ve told me some crazy stuff, quick example. McDonalds something most American people know …for one person only it can be around 15 - 20 bucks, in Venezuela, and I think minimum wage rn is around 6.15 bucks and if it’s good it can be around 20 - 30 A MONTH, now apply this formula to EVERYTHING, housing, bills, expenses and I think things in Venezuela for a little bit better not that long ago,so it was worst than what I just told you, imagine you finish college you have somehow of a decent life and for things you don’t understand and no one advise you of, next week your job, money is not even half of the value it had last week, imagine if it was you and your family, your kids…I don’t have kids but I know my mom would’ve done anything for trying and give me not even a luxurious life, but a kinda decent life, and I know most of people would’ve done the same, and not only for your kids, also your mom, dad, sisters, brothers and even YOURSELF…again, I’m not saying this is correct or it’s not I’m just saying at the end our surrounding make us do whatever we are doing….I get you not being okay with this, but try to be comprensible and not go straight into hate for this people. \n\nUnfortunately I wouldn’t imagine anything to solve this problem and I hope something better comes for the entire world right now …but I just doubt it…

Right now I'm not surprised of the situations happening in USA it's just saddening that the powerful country is just showing the world that their society and their jurisdiction and their government are falling or having a meltdown at a fast pace. \nMay The Almighty God save ur country.

All of these points are subjective. I think the point system you used and the subjects you talked about are biased. I would have given the USA a point for innovation and job opportunity. There is more opportunities, because more companies choose the USA. We have a higher population so even thought there is more job opportunities in the USA, it is also very competitive. Your video gave a point to Canada for vacation and maternity leave rather than innovation and job opportunities. A lawyer in the USA has a better chance of practicing law than a Canadian lawyer. You gave a point to Canada for healthcare because of life expectancy. However I’d still give a point to the USA for healthcare. The life expectancy is a separate subject. The life expectancy is lower in the USA because of what we eat here. I would give a point to Canada for healthier food. In the USA fatty diet with sugary sweets is common here.\n\nThe video was really pros and cons for liberals. As an American, I could make a list that is biased towards the USA. It was a very informative video, I just think the irony of you talking about political bias while making a biased video was comical. I definitely don’t want to move to Canada after this?. If you are liberal in the USA and can handle the cold then Canada is sounds amazing. If you’re a liberal, but can’t handle the cold, the west coast of the U.S. might be a better option than Canada. \n\nI think all of those pros for Canada is because they are in Canada. It’s great that those things work for Canadians and so many immigrants into Canada!\n\nAlso, Canada can have 1000 points for personal hygiene. I can’t stand people not taking their shoes off in my house even though I have a sign on my door that says, “please take off your shoes”. I have OCD so I am biased on that subject ?.

To me that is a hostel country trying to invade the USA, and should be treated as such. I would have gave the order to shoot. There Is a way to enter a country properly. At the point of entry and it is a peaceful and legal way in course to enter a country. But to have thousands trying to bull rush the boarder with violence with no control of the people coming in.on top of that we would have no idea who is coming in our country. It not Racism if you want to know who's coming I. Your house. You want to know for safely and to protect others. You possibly can not convince me that everyone of those people are upright law obiding people. There is no way. So if you siding against me on this video. Then you must do this to prove your no a hypocrite and go hire a child molester to babysit your kids. If you don't have any kids then hire a fellon convicted of armed Robbery to house sit

? and EU is not doing anything? Why? That shows weakness. That shows to the world that the USA is not as powerful as their government claims to be. Their boundaries are out of control. Please, take an emergency action!.

I am not against inmigrantes because I am one as well, but really this is not the way to do it. As I can see here this people is fighting hard to cross the border to get a better life , then why not to do the same in your own countries to fight for your rights of have a better life. I came in different circumstances when I married an American citizen, and I am the only one in my family to live in USA, the rest of my family live in my country of origin ( in Latin America) . Fight hard but use that energy to fight in your own country and the world will be better if all of you get rid of bad politics in your own countries . I know you all can do it because I see in this video people fighting hard so then you can do the same in your countries. ?????

None ABSOLUTELY NON FROM MEXICO FOR THE LAST ALMOST 20 years NOW SINCE OBAMA AND BIDEN ACTUALLY CLOSED THE BORDER AND CREATED THIS FACILITATED ASYLUM PROCESS TO CENTRAL/ SOUTH AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEANERS. (MEXICO is NORTH AMERICA) this is for the ignorant. Learn EDUCATE YOURSELVES WITH FACTUAL TRUE USA ?? HISTORY NOT THE CHERRY PICKED WHITE AND BLACK BS. Before WHITES MILLIONS OF “MEXICANS” populated the USA ?? during and after MILLIONS MORE STILL ECIST NEVER LEFT OUR ANCIENT MOTHER LAND NO MATTER HOW MUCH USA TRAITOR FOREIGN IMPOSTER THIEVES ARE RUNNING THE USA GOVERNMENT

Exactly!!! There is no money for our own US citizens so how is America supposed to help the immigrants???? Use that money for our Americans who are struggling to make ends meet and wondering if they will have a place to live. Close the borders send them back!!! USA is so weak we are not responsible for anyone other than our citizens!!!

We need more leaders like President Bukele of El Salvador and AMLO of Mexico. President Bukele incarcerated thousands of MS-13 gang members without trial. They are all in jail for life. If you have gang affiliated tattoos they come ant take you to jail for life. El Salvador is gang free and all citizens are happy. Ironically, the USA politicians are screaming human rights abuses. President AMLO stopped all catering to the high classes and wants to be more independent of the USA. This of course was met with USA indignation by politicians of the USA. We are not a very introspective country. Not that it ever makes the news but Mexico is home to 1.6 million Americans that are legally there and anther .5 to 1 million living in Mexico illegally. Remember that Banana Republics were forcefully ( With military action.) made to trade with the USA. Dole fruit being one of the main driving forces of USA interventionism. This act kept most of Central America’s governments weak and destabilized. We destabilized El Salvador all through the 70s and 80s. We destabilized Venezuela when our politics ran counter to theirs. We toppled and incarcerated President Manuel Noriega of Panama and went to war with Panama. Pablo Escobar of Panamawas killed with CIA operatives. Right or wrong our footprint is part of Latin America and the consequences of this still reverberate in todays’ immigration problems.

Oh man! Everybody is entering in mass, but when I immigrated to the USA, at first, I had to wait for about 8 years to come legally+ 5 years to become a US citizen. Had a lot of paperwork to issue, and it wasn't free at all. I paid a lot of money. I bet most of them do not need any asylum.

If there are no borders there is no country. Borders mark the country. When you go from one country to another there is a border.\nHonestly i do not believe USA has a real border. It is an illusion.

With this kind of invasion, all citizens of the United should be equipped with guns and be ready to fight if INVADERS do insurrection hit job. These strangers who are flooding America by force (MEN OR WOMEN), should not be trusted. Remember how they do crimes and government take over... Americans safety, health and sovereignty is being attacked. AIDING AND ABETTING THE RAPE OF USA, MASS ENTRY, IS WRONG. Pray for our safety and that our government is not taken over by inflow of daring, dangerous strangers.

A lot of ignorance in these comments, please read alternative news sources! Instead of just judge people, u don’t know what they have been through, and iam not justify this actions. But you words speak you own minds, thats why USA(not america) its getting worse, hegemony is going down. And all the world knows by now. That’s what happen when you get a lot of enemy’s, sooner or later its gonna be karma. Try to feed your mind with all the good and all the noble and all the tolerance and patience, and love, not borders or lines o separation and segregation and all that kind of cr@p you’ve learnes. Wake up!!!

The United States of England (USA) is an invaded, stolen, hostage country of the Aboriginal people of our American continent from the south of the Patagonia of Argentina to up north of Greenland, dictated by the European empire. European Americans, wake up to the truth, since 1776, you have been indoctrinated to colonial doctrine and propaganda. If you want to coexist with the real Americans, help to bring peace, not hate.

If this is the USA, why are none of these border patrol people white? If this is TEXAS those governments jobs surely would have gone to white folk. Learnt with the @GOP and their obsession with that border, they will stop at nothing to create those false threats. Have you not seen the crowds at Trumps rallies….especially the big ones? All computer generated.

There were US government and military people to meet with México’s President Andres Manuel López Obrador, to talk about immigration issues.\nMéxico was ready to talk about this BUT the US government officials talked about an investment of 1.4 BILLION DOLLARS for México ?? INSTEAD. Sooooo… USA is not doing its part for this.\nUS wants a liquid propane pipe line from Texas to Sonora and from Sonora to Veracruz. And for the “ITSMO DE TEHUANTEPEC” another multimillion investment. I mean; thank you USA… But they won’t touch the issue of immigration with the Mexican Government. Sooo who is at FAIL ??

None of them looked starved or without food. They’re not coming here to work, folks! Just to take your tax dollars. This is what happens when the USA has weak leadership.

Why are they not treating this as an attack on the USA? Because it is and we are being attacked and invaded and they need armed forces to handle this.

Bull$hit. I know a number of my African friends who live in Edmonton and they are all employed of great jobs, and have good lives there- and no matter where you are discrimination is everwhere. Discrimination in Canada (and Edmonton) is not as this SINGLE person says. This is poor reporting just to creat divisiveness. You want to see discrimination? Go to the USA - especially the south - then comeback to Canada and tell me we have “heavy” discrimination.

As a black woman who is born and raise in Canada, Quebec (Montréal area), I can confirm what she said. It’s not only in Edmonton, Alberta. It’s all over the country! The only difference between USA and Canada is that Americans recognize there was slavery throughout the history. Canada completely erased the slavery part as if there was no black slaves and etc.

Yea right they only stop em during the day when there being watched at night they bring through give them money on a debit card a working free phone cloths housing and transportation all over the USA THINS IS NOT MY OPINION THIS IS FACT I SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES THIS IS NOTHING BUT A SHOW TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THERE TRYING TO SECURE THE BORDER BUT THERE NOT NEXT THEY WILL GET THEM VOTING RIGHTS SO DEMOCRATS CAN CAN NEVER LOSE NOT WHEN THERE THERE LIKE GODS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS WITH OUT THEM DEMOCRATS DONT STAND A CHANCE IN FUTURE ELECTIONS TRUMP 2024 ????FOR THE BIGGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN US HISTORY!!! STOP PAYING TAXES TO PAY FOR ILLEGALS TO LIVE FREE EAT FREE PHONES FOR FREE HOUSING IN 5 STAR HOTELS FOR FREE STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT INLESS YOU LIKE WORKING HARD FOR THEM TO LIVE A PLUSH FREE LIFE IN OUT GREAT COUNTRY

It's not that the USA is that much fun to live in.This is how bad those people want to get away from all the Jamaicans ,Dominicans ,hati ect.that have taken over south america.Problem is none of them say shit about that ,

You know what I hope Mexico joins a military alliance with China and recoves what it lost to the USA. The USA fought for this, over 1,000 years of history shows that no amount of anything can stop people from crossing El Bravo, over 1,000 years. And since the end of The Great North American War, not cowboys, not police officers, not border walls or stupid laws have managed to keep anyone out. Ron DeSantis can become president and station the entire army at the border and it would be a massive failure. Because the truth is that the USA is a fake country, and the reason for all this talk about the border is trying to reassure the USA the it is a real country.

If the US Government would not do anything to stop this craziness, the American people would be doomed. Protect the United States of America. Else, you will become a third-world country, crimes are everywhere, difficult to find jobs, can barely afford food, more homeless, rough life. I came from a third-world country. It’s not nice. Life is very tough. Do you, American people want to live like that? Bet, you won't survive. So, do something. Choose the right people to be in the office who do something for the American people. USA first.

This is what happens when you take land that’s not yours this would have never happened had the usa been in Europe
