Their 1 or 2 radio channels they got, both spewed that message to the ppl. But here’s the thing, what if it’s them and I’m going to take a guess here, u, who r the ones receiving the deceptive news? We and the rest of the world believe 9/11 was carried out by terrorists. No, we didn’t pay them. No, we weren’t in contact. Why would the entire rest of the world believe that except Israel?

Canada has a long wait list and difficult immigration system too. I'm Canadian and a child of an immigrant who was only allowed to come due to a deficit of workers in that field during the 80's causing recruitment in the UK. Now this parent would no longer qualify for this job with education requirements. Canada has to protect the infrastructure, economy, which includes jobs, social security, our healthcare system etc. or there would be nothing. Sadly we already have huge healthcare and education debts, safety and security concerns, high unemployment for young in their fields of study due to delayed retirement.
@earthstar7534 5 жыл бұрын
Canadas immigration system is not only harder, but uses a merit based point system. Its one of the absolute hardest countries to immigrate to. I tried to enter Canada first and I realized really quickly I was never getting in so I redirected my resources to immigrating to America. If you actually research different immigration systems you quickly find out America has a very very lax immigration system and is the best option for legal immigration. Especially if you have little education and money. Canada wouldn't have taken in any of these people except the girl from Iran, and even then it would depend what time of year they applied for refuge because Canada takes only a certain amount of humanitarian immigrants each year.

literally their chances are very slim and struggling in their home country for who knows how long. was it the right way to immigrate? no it's not, but for these folks they don't have much choice. not only that but they leave a lot behind, like their old life, family and friends that they most likely won't see again unless they get deported. the system is difficult and indiffrent to these people's personal struggles, no one is 100% guranteed in it's all on luck and favor. the way it sets up leaves many to choose what keith hypotheticlly chose.

@@linda-pw2qv yeah, but the way it's set up, for the people that do enter, won't "if they take your job", they will take it. Most migrant workers don't come to take all them lavish jobs, they come scrapping the bottom of the barrel. You're not out there doing back breaking work for near zero pay. But are at a comfy job, that someone, whom by US standard, is good enough to take it. Which in reality has turned into, better than the average citizen, since there is a huge gap in prepared workers here in the US. Then instead of being prepared to fight for it, we go blame those scrapping the bottom for the lack of work... Which no one truly is knocking down the doors to get into anyway.... But yeah, let's focus on keeping people out for our overall lack of focus, instead of making sure our citizens are indeed being better prepared since we have everything at our disposal.

Eleanor Harrison actually it does Asian Karen. Illegal aliens is the LEGAL TERM ON PAPER. Don’t try to use euphemism by changing historic terms which has been legally used for over a century. I don’t care what anybody’s situation is. That doesn’t give them the right to break our immigration laws without being properly vetted. When I came here, my mom and I had to be extensively vetted for two years and living separately from my dad. We waited patiently respecting the laws. They made sure we weren’t criminals, terrorists, drug dealers, or coming here to leech off tax payers. They made sure we would respect the law of the land. What part of that don’t you understand? Other members waited 10-30 years to do everything the right way. Fk outta here with your holier than thou attitude.

Why cant these countries help themselves instead of feeling entitled to come to America to leech off the system? Why don't you ask Harvard and all the elite colleges to also give everybody else a chance at an elite education in their institution? Wouldn't that be more compassionate?

I will admit that even though this video had its funny moments, it is awfully sad knowing that people that want to live better lives, and live in general, want to go to a country that is so hard to get into. And even if it isn’t hard, there are personal sacrifices that can be made or it will take a long time. I started to tear up when it said that “No viable path to citizenship” was the most common story. My grandparents immigrated to America, but they lived in a small country and my grandma is Danish, so she was seen as privileged. They had a hard time immigrating to America, but it was nothing compared to these stories. I just wish that at some point in the near future that immigrating to America will be much easier and less heartbreaking. I just want people to be happy and live happy lives, and knowing that it is either hard or impossible makes me disappointed that our country says things like “everyone can be free” or “we accept all people” when we still haven’t figured this out!

LivingKV yet well over a million people legally immigrate to America every year, far more than any other country on Earth. The ones that come here illegally are making it harder for everyone else. America is the leading immigrant destination on Earth but that’s not good enough, people want millions more to come over illegally and outside the system, including criminals, terrorists, sex traffickers, slaves, and drug cartels. And somehow working to prevent illegal aliens from entering while the front door remains open is seen as fascist? Even as other countries aggressively police their own immigration, including Mexico. Hypocritical bullshit. I’d like to see any other country handle the immigration problems we have and not descend into civil war.

We can do better, and we SHOULD do better. A tick of a box shouldn't decide whether or not you survive the next year in a country that has more than enough resources to support you. I'm so sorry for everyone that has to struggle against such a broken and clearly manipulated system. You deserve so much more and we won't stop fighting for it until you receive the access and respect you all deserve.

That's the reality. Fyi: we are also talking about students who pay full tuition fee in cash and it's twice as much as US citizens So they would spend anything between 200k to 600k over that period, including education expense.

@@kayflip2233 I was born in Austria. My mother is Israeli so I got her citizenship and not my dad’s American citizenship. In Austria it goes by the mother, not the father. My dad may be a US citizen but he lives in Austria. I’ve checked with multiple lawyers and since he doesn’t physically live there (in the US) and I’m past the age of 18 then it’s impossible to get me a citizenship. If me or my family would just know i still had a chance before I turned 18 we would have done it way back then but it’s too late.

Talha Khalil yeah, like how most of them aren't paying taxes? It even say in this video that out of approximately 8 million undocumented immigrants that are working, less than half of them are paying taxes. LESS THAN HALF!! I have no problem with people coming to the US to better their lives, but if you come you need to contribute.
@talhak3707 6 жыл бұрын
The undocumented need a pathway to obtain a Social Security Card and a status, which gives them freedom to walk out of the shadows and pay taxes. The immigration system in this country is broken and these people who came have just come for a new chance of life.

Well I'm surprised even 3mill are paying taxes. How would they pay it without documentation? They're not even getting any benefit out of paying. Like here in Canada I wouldn't expect illegals to pay income tax since they can't actually access the services that our taxes go into (ex.healthcare, social security).

They mention the filing fees for a green card they didn't mention the doctors fees for the medical check (for everything from STDS to TB) that's assuming you can find an approved doctor anywhere near where you live oh plus the fee for biometrics (getting photos taken, finger prints etc) which may involve a days trip to the nearest capital city if you don't live in one. .

Also the process of people just immigrating and those immigrating for refugee status are totally different. The refugee one is very hard to pass because if they find that anyone in your family even distantly is related to someone in ISIS or any organization that the US finds threatening they'll deny you. The background checks for that process take about 3 years. That's why I laugh when people think we're just letting refugees in like opening the front door to the mail man it's not quite that simple.
@wholelottalight 6 жыл бұрын
They probably didn't mention those fees because it is entirely sensible to not let someone in who has certain diseases. This was a propaganda piece, not an actual discussion of the immigration problem.
@charityszakel2794 6 жыл бұрын
Well yes, it is sensible but even if you are completely clean you still have to find an approved doctor (very hard) and still pay for the check-up that will confirm everything you already know which is bound to be very expensive and assuming that you do have a disease you have to pay to fix it (once again very hard) before trying to go to the US. Over all a lot of time and money blown on someone that you are not even sure you can find all to go to a country where you can get stuff like TB and STD and cancer and such a6 any time for free practically do you understand now?
@raZzZamf 6 жыл бұрын
You forgot to say how the medical is not in any way covered by insurance so you pay the whole fee out of pocket... I was lucky to find the most understanding doctor who told me to go to cvs for a few of my vaccines, since it was cheaper/covered there. I did have to argue with their mandatory flu shot outside of the USCIS listed flu season but ended up getting it...

+Michaela Jimenez - I'm not following. Cheating the system? You mean entering the illegally? I immigrated legally and those who migrate illegally weren't in line with me. That said, as the world is currently set up, America doesn't have to accept everyone. It's just a bit hypocritical to have a population with this narrative from the Statue of Liberty that they don't uphold. America used to turn back 'paupers and invalids' in the 19th and 20th Century with the ships they came on because Americans didn't want to be stuck with charity cases. Ships then had to cover the cost of bringing them back to the place they came from, so most ships started being selective about who they brought and not just concerned whether they had money for the crossing. The equivalent to lacking a high school diploma was being an unskilled pauper, so it's not like America ever did take just anyone. They still don't take people with disabilities.
