Millions of Canadians already beg for food at food banks every month .... And we have tent cities across the country ... STOP THIS INSANITY NOW!

[RobDumanski]

Canadian tax payers cant afford this anymore !

[jamesmerrill]

It's not irregular, it's illegal!

Canada needs to triple border security, starting yesterday.

We have already accepted millions - yes, millions - and we cannot accept any more. Our health care, social services, infrastructure, and GHG emissions cannot accommodate any more.

Here's a word Canada needs to learn: NO. NON. In both official languages!! 💔🇨🇦

When we immigrated to Canada we had to pass english exams, health checks and paid a lot of money. We came here and are grateful to be here. We did not come here to demand that our culture and religion be respected. We gave this up. If they can just walk across the border then all those who paid should get there money back.
We did not demand any help. We worked our buts off to make it work.

We need Trudeau and his idiotic party to go ASAP. Election needs to be called!

My immigrant wife is pissed that some immigrant come here illegally and bypass the legal system. We spent 2 years filling out papers .... legally!

Canada needs to stand up to the government we need a revolution

[heidig.]

Stop using euphemisms! It's legal vs. illegal, NOT regular vs. irregular.

So HIRE MORE Canadians needs jobs, hire

The Americans were smart to vote the wokeness out after only one term, not like here where the Canadian society votes for wokeness time and time again, and would rather tax themselves into poverty in hopes of changing the weather

[AlundioAguilar]

Totally unfair to those who come to canada by legal means. Canada would have to house these illegal migrants and feed thrm for free while we have millions of canadian citizens living on the streets homeless! This is effing insane!

[rpelletier]

We dont want the ones we already got and didn’t ask for let alone any more!!

And the government has just announced that they are building an asylum tent in my peaceful, middle class, safe Ottawa neighbourhood. Residents are NOT happy. This is not Trump’s fault. Trump is doing wgat is best for his country. I wish our government would do the same for once.

[todayandtomorrow]

Came here as an immigrant in 1990. We followed the process, are so grateful to live here everyday. We respect this country. I wish others felt this way and treated this place with respect

[Stu-wr]

We’re already massively overfull of immigrants and foreign workers/students. Wages have entirely stagnated and housing is unavailable.

[Stinder]

RCMP has a track record of failure! Will they just be bellhops again?

[gary]

Send Canadian military to the borders.

[ysmna.]

Canada is at 100% capacity systematically.
