Citizenship to ILLEGAL Immigrants? Toronto residents react

Last week Toronto’s deputy mayor Ausma Malik called on the federal government to put all illegal immigrants living in Toronto on the path to citizenship. Malik described Canada’s immigration rules as racist and colonial and that the way to break down those systems is to regularize “undocumented residents.”

On the latest episode of Ratio’d, Harrison Faulkner hit the streets of Toronto to ask Toronto residents if they agree with city council and want to extend permanent residency status to illegal immigrants.

As a black person immigration rules ARE NOT RACISTS. Stop using us as a means for your selfish causes. Rules are put in a place for a reason.

[lolafriesen]

This country has become a fucking joke

[ahmedawad]

As an immigrant myself I say .. NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to Canada.

[ontariofirs]

As a Filipino it is insulting to equalise legal immigration with illegal immigration. Get these stupid politicians out of office

[popdog]

My God, how Canadian citizenship has gotten cheap. I used to be proud of being a Canadian, now it’s the cheapest ticket in the world.

She’s a disgrace to the peoples who pay taxes and she needs to be removed from office

[MarilynHaley-lk]

Immigrants must be vetted with a back ground check PERIOD

[christines]

So many ignorant people in Toronto. It hurts my brain.

[John-fllp]

Sick of people who are NOT citizens demanding things!

Why are foreign students on protest? It’s time for Canadians to go on protest to preserve integrity.

[susanmcgee]

I strongly disagree! All immigrants should come here LEGALLY!

[brandonselinger]

" no one is illegal" has to be one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard.

[Mark.sSenger]

That waste of air person in Toronto isn't for Canadians 1 bit. She's a disgrace to the people who pay taxes and she needs to be removed from office 😊

"We got jobs for everyone" - except actual Canadians, apparently.

[biffwellington]

The insanity and dumbing down of society is just mind boggling. These people saying "not illegal" and "shouldn't have borders"... they live among us... and procreate. Its terrifying.

[BC-lizc]

We don't need immigrants. We need our government to provide an environment where Canadian families can thrive.

[markblaine]

I work with a guy from Ukraine. He and his wife came over in 2018. Proper channels. Followed all the rules. He is pretty upset with all the illegal immigrants coming over, without following the rules. He says it "is not right or fair".

[daltonproter-sheldrick]

Toronto needs to stop trying to make decisions for the whole county

[BarbMacdonald-uvzd]

Toronto is a shit hole. I’ve lived there for years, It certainly went downhill. Happy to be out of that nightmare.

[encoretp]

It's unfair, some of us immigrated legally, spent so much money, invested in years of education and job experience, yet others just want to come in illegally. It's a slap in the face.
