"But like typical Canadians they let them in anyway." It's called compassion, something this country lost somewhere recently.
Because racism and mysgony took over. It's friggin sad dude
That's why I like Canada better then the USA
Recently!? Somehow that doesnt sound like the country at war for more than 95% of its life.
While we're on this topic: A country after getting shocked by a big financial crisis, elects a new leader with less than 50% of the popular vote. That leader is a megalomaniac, telling people that a particular group of people is evil and responsible for all their problems and withdraws from treaties while arming the country. Greedy establishment figures think they can manage the crazy person and get some deals done under this cover. Meanwhile fascist dictatorial leaders rise in several countries.
Sadly this describes Germany in the 30s as well as the US today. Unlike Hitler, Trump didn't have brownshirts ready - but the Khaki wearing supremacists and nutjob evangelicals flock to him readily enough.
I hope US institutions survive this rise of moronic fascism. The sheer lazy incompetence of the current administration might save us.
But some people don't consider The Handmaids Tale a dystopia.
John Doe In several countries, Canada included, there are actually many places where people do not lock their doors.
Neighboors are friends in those places, and everyone isn't afraid of each other.
Meanwhile, some Americans get uptight if you ask them to take their shoes off when entering someone else's home.

😄👏 George Carlin my inspiration in life, I wonder what he would say about the current president?!
@@tgu1991 Kind of a nobrainer. I think he would punch the guy.
American are dreaming about the "American dream" while Canada is living it

@@Skarletking747 And, I am busy in finding out if the light of the fridge turns off when I close the door...
@Aron Toulouse yessssssssss
@Aron Toulouse you are James Bond...
I love that Desi broke character to talk with the Nigerian man. He made me want to cry.
I loved that as well.
Africans are inherently warm and loving people. A few gives parts of the continent a bad name.
@@craighjonas8833 Yeah, the few that give the entire continent a bad name are Nigerians. Most Africans despise Nigerians.
“This is not a legal entrance into Canada”
As he steps aside for them to walk through LMFAOOOOO
I'm Not gonna waste time arguing with you Because Canadians are nice. If it was the American border, they'd be in jail faster than you can say "they'd be in jail"
Carson Chiem, more like "I have to give you the official speech and token resistance while being intimidating about it...but we know how this goes." That guy is kinda the best.
Lol, I would have been very concerned thinking: 'they lied, these Canadian officers might be out for blood!'
The officer sounded very serious...
Gowtham Because, those are western borders... Same with european borders and as far i know both indians and those Muslim countries are religious freaks....
Ausgezeichnet, James town. This is all. Because sure, Muslims are the only religious freaks. X
What armstrong said broke my heart... I wish them all the best.
Elena Eisenhardt
Agreed. This country has lost its way when we are no longer the safe haven of opportunity that we should be. America is better than what we’ve become. Maybe someday we’ll be that place again.
Our dumbass leaders aren't helpful either. Let's face it, Obama wasn't a very good president, and Trump is only worsening our situation.
Jason Borleau
While im not an American, I agree that USA used to be the beacon of hope for the poor from all over the world, but it's now nothing more than a shell of it's former self
And from my opinion, it's the people in charge (not necessarily the president) that ruins it, especially the action they took in the last few decades,
No wonder why almost everyone doesn't have much positive opinion of the USA
I don't understand why we have to allow people into our country without looking into their background. These are different times and the landscape has changed. I am not saying the US needs to stop immigration but Americans have the right to protect their country from outsiders with no background checks. I shouldn't be able to enter your house without your invitation or knowing who I am. The US needs to stop meddling in other countries problems and take care of its own problems at home, immigration is a small part of that. Another question, which I think is valid for discussion, is why are people that are immigrating not taking charge of their country and fighting for their rights? Many countries have done so and it is an unfortunate situation but if people love their country, they should not be abandoning it and fight for change.
Rudy Sal 14 it's easy to tell Nigerians to fix their country when you were born in the developed world and you never had to worry about any such thing.
Canadian people have heart.
Strangely, all Americans are refugees or refugee's descent (whether economic refugees like Irish people or politic refugees like the Pilgrims), but "Native" Americans.
And those "Natives" have been forced to live in kindof giant concentration camps called "Indian reservations".
Canadians have Natives to shout out
I agree all americans are refugees except natives but I don't agree with the statement of "forced to live in". Being of native blood I can say that is wrong.
"Giant concentration camps". Please shut the fuck up you have no clue what you're talking about.
And for some reason trump can't see that....
Wow. You are dumb. The Indians are A sovereign nation which means that they have their own schools their own government, schools, & law. There ability to grow and prosper is like other nations. Take a economics course
man that Nigerian man made me want to cry. Yeah, brother., Run as fast as you can. Were no longer the land of opportunity and freedom
Squiggz NoMoney, Really? The dude was lying. He didn't flee Nigeria because of Terrrorists. He is just using the terrorists card to touch people like you's feeling.
1. In the North-East of Nigeria? Can't they move to other parts of Nigeria?
2. Add in "i want my Daughter to feel safe" (just like Disney) and you can pull people's Emotion.
Squiggz NoMoney That really was heartbreaking. 😢
Squiggz NoMoney, by the way, at 3:04, there were white people trying to enter Canada too. Why are black people the only one shown constantly?
Jules A I hope you go through the same people in Nigeria go through or any war torn region to experience and feel what it is like. Then I'll say, why can't you move to Puerto Rico ....
Parth Patel, i did go through the same. Even worse than he did. I have seen war, tanks with my own eyes. I was a refugee. There is a difference between being a refugee and a saprophyte. Does he have to move to the other end of the planet?
Remember when the migrating to Canada was just a joke?
Ah, the good old 2016
Yes lol.
A joke that came from a reality - thousands of young Americans terrified that they'd be sent into the meat grinder of Vietnam. So no, not so much a joke, dude.
something farms remembers

I think the body language that Desi used in her opening really set the stage for the meaning of the report and emphasized the seriousness of this issue. Kudos to her as this further illustrates the degree of her talent as a journalist! Go Desi!!
used
American here. Thank you Canada for acting with compassion, something we have lost long ago.
Yeah right...How can u be so idiotic
you can't lose what you never possessed.
@@Salcrz24 True that.
@Aron Toulouse true that
Wait don’t think we are fine with this most of us want to close our borders we need stronger borders we have laws and want to enforce them
*Yeah why would Armstrong stay in a country where people will call police either if he's just taking a nap, waiting in a starbucks or just shopping?*
They do that in Canada?
M TMM in the U.S
Someone called once the police on me because I took a nap. What is the problem about that?
Or accuse his 8 year old son of sexual assault just because his backpack brushed a white lady. Yeah, it's on the news.
@@Berries20 omg yeah I saw that, and the next day the public gathered at the store after they saw the camera footage and shamed her.
You realise how people of colour really have no time for racism. It's always gotta be a White person starting shit like that. I wonder how the world will be the day that Black people decide to start calling the cops on white people simply because...
Justin Trudeau: We need to build a wall on our southern border and I'll make America pay for it!!
Kim Jong Fun it wouldn't shock me if Trump build the wall up there to keep people in
Danrarbc ...we should just bus all those refugees seekers from Central America up to Canada since they want them.
Blue Sky Then they ended up saying that even they have immigration laws, lol.
Blue Sky or we could just stop being racists and xenophobes and understand the refugees are good for us not bad.
And who could blame him? Because America, they're not sending their best. Those people come from a country that has barely any real democracy, lots of violent religious nuts, lots of armed weirdos, lots of violence... and if you let them in, they'll try to turn Canada into the kind of shithole they just fled from.
Sorry, but Americans need to resolve their own problems.
That's what I keep telling my husband hhhh
She killed it
Samic Abdi flag day lol 😂
Damn, he must've sneaked in from behind on those days lol🤣
Lucky man ... she creases me up.
It amazing how you don't have to be afraid of athorities at the "illegal" Canadian border. In the US the border officials are terrifying to you AS A CITIZEN.
I love how Desi showed empathy
I'm a Pakistani-canadian-american currently attending medical school in America. I plan on doing my residency probably in Canada as the healthcare system is much less stressful as a doctor there and I know I won't make as much but atleast my taxes will be put to use properly and I will actually see my tax money improving the country. And the people there will actually accept me for my diversity.
Fariz Ali which province do you come from?
Blood Fire Drake Ontario but I am willing to do residency wherever in Canada
Good luck dude, you'll need it.
kennyc002 I know haha. Worth it if things don't improve in America
I was talking about Pakistan's provinces......
"This is not a legal entrance into Canada" I'll let you in anyhow.
He lets them in, then details them.
Armstrong is safer in a Canadian jail than in USA.
"Don't say things like that, Bill."
"Yeah, I know."
Perfect ending.
US police pulled a gun on a with a Mentos. The Canadian escort refugees to safety.
Formulating a statement THAT broad about THAT many people, globally... well, congratulations, you are GUARANTEED to be wrong! Yay!
murica
US police threw a flashbang in a crib! Hahahahahahahaha wtf man
Trump's going to have no trouble building a wall on the border. At this point, every country will be happy to help! Just as long as it keeps the Americans in
i hope the mexicans managed to finish their project in time
@@Schmissgesicht Lmao, were gonna need our neighbors help. Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador you guys are up !
"Were all these people really _choosing America's boring cousin?"_
"Boring?" 😳 Canada? When is a land of opportunity _boring?_
Yup, when things go as planned, and when you're not under threat of a drive by shooting at any given time, things are boring. I really wouldn't mind some boring right now.
Kinda funny how most americans talk bad about other countries. Even if the could learn something from them. ALL other countries are shitholes or boring..well,guess you have to tell yourself that,when you live in a shithole,like the US,to ease your mind. xp
Freddy H Yeah, conservative Americans right now remind me of that dog sitting in that cafe on fire saying "this is fine". Literally the entire country is falling apart, but they're ok with it!!
Don Francisco x'D
What a troll!!
It's proved that people with high intelligent tend to get less bored since they are more creative and/or have something in their mind to solve... I guess the ones that lack some IQ will need someone to entertain them, like people fighting, reality shows, etc, etc...
I feel like more people should be talking about the age gap between the leaders. Almost everyone in the US is old enough to have dementia.
I'm American, but I retired in Europe, which is great. But with Trump, I am afraid to live in America, healthcare is second rate etc. I feel more like a refugee that an 'expat retiree', and life is much better here
you can't really blame our healthcare issue on trump, it's called obamacare for a reason. if anything he's slightly improved the hc situation by getting rid of the penalty for not buying an overpriced healthcare plan.
monokhem That must explain why we have the shortest life expectancy compared to Europe. Politicians want you to think that we have the best healthcare. But its no different from the rest of the world. People come here for certain treatments just like most Americans go to Canada and Europe for special treatments.
For medical outcomes, US healthcare actually does generally perform the best, i.e. how long a patient lives after being treated for breast cancer. The reason the US has a shorter expectancy compared to other developed countries interestingly isn't due to healthcare. People die because of other reasons than health, and the reason the US's life expectancy is so low is that more Americans die younger from fatal injuries (like car accidents and violent crime) than other developed countries. When deaths from fatal injuries are taken out, the US's life expectancy actually jumps to the top of the list. But this isn't to say that we don't have major issues that need to be addressed. It's very broken in many aspects, but does do a great job when you can afford it. Which is sad.
what country? I lived in Europe in 90s but too many rules not enough money flow...you mustbe very disciplined.
That is every other business through something else is awry with healthcare and that is government involvement in it, same with college tuition.
Many Americans might not know this, just several years ago the silly Canadian dollar was worth more than the US dollar.
And how much is the Canadian worth to the US dollar now? Yeah...that's what I thought.
I wouldn't hold my breath that the U.S. dollars stays at its current value with all the market manipulation
Consig1iere While I do agree America's current administration is making mistakes, the value of currency does not necessarily mean a country's better or worse off. Countries manipulate currency value to better allow them to import and export, I mean, just look at China. Their lower currency allows them to sell products Americans are more willing to buy.
For the past 30 some years the Canadian dollar had been lower, often you can get $1.25 - $1.90 Canadian per dollar exchange rates. We go up to Canada nearly every summer.
And the US dollar is worth less than the Pound, the Franc and the Euros, what's the point ?
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddle masses yearning to breath free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Wait, so Americans are SURPRISED that people are choosing Canada over them?
Making sweeping assumptions about people is a lack of education.
Lmao you are funny. Generalizing a whole country sad little man. People with money and power no matter where they are from can get away with murder literally. We know with him as our president we are the laughingstock of the world. The Trump supporters just won't be honest in what they are supporting. Will fully blind.
You do understand that you sound like an arrogant ass. Every country has it's issues. Unfortunately Americans were tired of politicians who never told the truth so they voted for a loud mouth braggart because they associated that with honesty.
Obviously you only care about calling Americans imbeciles so I'm done buh bye 👋

Yeah she almost did :))

"That's what I keep telling my husband" LMAO! Desi is so amazing.
This really is a sad story.
As funny as this clip is, it's TRUE. If I didn't literally despise the cold weather my family & I would already be in Canada.....and I'm a US citizen but I know a lot of people that are considering moving or buying a piece of property in another country...
JP Hiway some places are pretty warm and have beaches like in Vancouver
JP Hiway Do you qualify to immigrate to Canada? I am told that they have strict requirements for entry. One cannot just pack their bags and think they will be accepted because one holds a US passport. It is different for refugees.
JP Hiway bye bitches.
miller time420 this attitude will surely make people want to be in America
JP Hiway NO NO NO. STAY HERE AND FIGHT. IF YOU MOVE AWAY, THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE.
No wonder they are emigrating to Canada, I would too with a president like trump
also with the racial hatred like we are feeling, we need to get the hell out this God targeted BabylonianSodomite cursed nation.
You can still go....no one stopping you.
Brainbot Jezebel we need to spread the word that Canada is accepting immigrants immediately let's get some caravans going and get people where they want to go. With Canadas social policies we will see how quick they change their tune.
I came looking for you.
No need for us to improve our act, you just leave! Yeah!
MrViscious Yes! Please, by all means Canada take them all!!
Desi is such a phenomenal comedienne. Her ability to make even the saddest stories end on a funny note remind me of the heyday of Stewart, Colbert, and Carell.
Man...the refuge is so humble.
Hey, thanks for help in planning my escape
Hope you've got some legitimate reason for them to let you in. Unless you're a refugee, you're not getting in without something they can exploit.
Serai3. Sorry was using sarcasm.
Oh, I knew that. Just throwing two cents in. :)
Every time a legal immigrant who was in this country as part of a formerly protected immigrant class is kicked out against the advice of ambassadors and experts on their home country a trumper gets a red cap! And every time one of those same legal immigrants goes to Canada and asks for asylum the USA gets another black eye & the world sees a little bit more of just how much we suck.
The world already knows how much you suck, it's Americans you gotta explain it to ( so they can change and better their country blah blah blah)
Adrianna Black most Americans already know how much America sucks. Unfortunately it seems that in order to keep America as white and Christian as possible they're happy to keep America sucky as fuck. I can't explain it. I don't understand it. A recent study showed that ppl voted for Trump bc they felt that white Christians were losing power in America, that America was losing power on the global stage and they felt Trump could fix all that. The same voters also feel he's doing a good job delivering on his campaign promises and doing a good job as president so there's that. It's all racist, tribalist, nationalist insanity. Hopefully ppl that didn't vote in 2016 or don't usually vote at all see what happens when so many ppl don't vote and they do the right thing thus November and ever November from now on and this never ever happens again. I'm also hoping that big changes happen on a state level bc a lot of ppl are really suffering on a personal level where the federal govt can't or won't help or where the states really must step in and aren't willing to bc they're Republican controlled and repubs keep control through fear and misinformation. It's long past time that shit stopped and ppl stopped suffering needlessly. The opiate crisis could be cut in half by the legalization of medical marijuana, but red states are refusing to believe in the science so the patients are stuck with opiates for pain relief which is a terrible and risky way to live, but when the repub party doesn't believe in science what can be done other than to replace them? Hope that happens soon for everyone's sake.
The saddest part of this is that even if more people voted in 2016 we would have ended up with clinton or sanders and have been even worse off than with trump.
Except Canada eventually after processing their asylum applications and finds out they're legit asylum seekers, boots them out.

As a Nigerian, born and bred in Nigeria, I can genuinely tell you that Armstrong at 03:24 deserves an Oscar for best actor.
i m not nigerian but i kindda knew he was acting thogh when i read comments, everyone was soo compassionate of him that i changed my mind of exposing him
as when you write something against the majority nowadays on youtube you just get verbally spanked so lol he was acting
Really that man was acting Nigeria is not that bad
Desi is phenomenal
Awww I love seeing how compassionate and HUMAN Canadian customs are!!!!!! ♥️ Maybe we all should move there.

I'm chuckling the whole time because Canada is still America.
"are you daisy" part so hilarious !!

Jack Jay Go fool.
you can definitely go. with the many us-Canada treaties, you can receive your retirement money from the country you physically reside in (us or Canada)
Right?
I live less than an hour from the border but have family I can't leave behind. Think about it a few times a week though.
3:13 this is really jaw-dropping. They literally illegally entered Canada in front of the police!
36m people occupying the second largest country in the world. Canadians view immigrants the way America did 200 years ago.
rpbsjy how much of that "large" country is actually liveable and not filled with ice and water?
Why is jaw-dropping to you? This is historically normal for Canadians...am I the only one who remembers studying "The Trail of Tears" in high school? Immigration baby at it's worst. Manifest Destiny, Westward Expansion, Sectionalism...etc
And nobody shot them in the head?!
You're confusing Canada with the USA. Canadians aren't as heartless.
thank you for those precise directions.
I could feel the pain when Armstrong was speaking ! I hope for a great life ahead for him and for his daughter too😇

And frankly I would have never left my home country if we weren't constantly under the threat of American invasion. It's like living under a loaded gun
Good luck in all you do. You've earned it.
@first last okay while you escort him give back every food that originates from other countries that includes chinese,mexican,indian and european also every culture and any invention made by non (racist and sexist) americans. You have betrayed your trust to your ally kurdistan and have shown and give a good reason why the whole world will not trust you. Give back all your clothing and possesions not made by america that includes your phones and sneakers etc, because china is the largest manufacturer in the world. And fruit or vegetable not native to america such as avocados, rambutans and peaches will be seized. Your a perfect example of an ignorant american that whole world has come to known and hate

Unfortunately, many of them will likely be deported. But hey, they don't hunt them down in the desert. So... way nicer at least
Well done Daily Show!
This actually made me cry man 😢
Canadian are very nice people . Especially because of people like Trudeau. We need people like him every country. Whose real purpose is to help other . He is my admiration.
Tredeau is great. He even paints his skin a darker color so new illegal aliens won't feel out of place.
Soon Canada will build its own wall.
Seriously, I'd subtract a limb to be in Canada instead of the US nowadays. The lunatic and fellow criminals in the WH is a major deterrent to appreciating the USA.

rica joy you too sis? I'm pondering...
Stereotypical J Cole Fan you can and you don't have to go thru the backdoor either I think it takes 6 months to get your citizenship.
Stereotypical J Cole Fan apparently, yes! Now, it depends on what you are seeking asylum from. You can apply now.
rica joy haha you could try... but I believe you would be immediately deported the next day.
Kittens Mittens You might not want to. Looks like Canada is regretting their open borders, because they got hordes of people coming in.
I hope they all stay in America!what a great place!
Canadians are so nice. God bless them
I should point out that this is entirely appropriate.
Although it isn't the best system, people are supposed to cross the border illegally and declare their intent to seek asylum.
The idea is that you can't seek asylum in your home country, because then it would be either too easy or too hard to seek asylum - at the whim of the country that you're seeking asylum in.
If Nigerians could seek asylum in the US while in Nigeria, the US would either have to fly them to the US, or they'd have to protect them in Nigeria indefinitely (and almost certainly never accept any claims).
The current system is a strange balance where refugees are allowed to make themselves a headache for a country (though refugees do contribute a lot to their host society, it isn't easy or cheap to reject their claims, and there is no upside to a rejected claim for anyone), but they have to go through the enormous expense and effort to actually get to that country to get the privilege.
Of course, that means wealthy Nigerians can pay the (EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE) tickets and hope to get asylum, and poor Nigerians who are more vulnerable have no such option.
Ideally, we would have a different system, but the refugee issue makes white supremacists (and other kinds of supremacists in non-white countries) throw hissy-fits, so nothing changes because even though white supremacists might actually benefit from a better solution, they won't stop their tantrum long enough to negotiate.
yes please more of her! Desi!

"say what?" LMAO. i will say, i'm pretty sure Desi was sincerely crying talking to the refugee and then turned it into a joke about breaking up. it was touching
You do realise though that the people responsible for this situation are the ones most happy about it? Vids like this won't make people think, they'll just make em content.
Like the typical Canadians let them in anyway 😂😂🤣🤣
Yeah, it's called being WELCOMING, DECENT, and HUMANE. Sad that's a joke to you.
Serai3
“Hey you’re not allowed to break into my home.” *breaks in any way *
Why even have laws if they are not going to be enforced?
Well people break into your home with bad intentions. They steal your money, property, or even kidnap you. They don't break into your home and make you dinner. How can you compare that to people seeking a better life in a country where they are not living in fear everyday? Those people will work and contribute to their new country.
johnnyXXX that analogy makes no sense.
It's more accurate to say this:-
Someone sneaks in from the backdoor expecting to be caught so they can explain their tough situation. When they're allowed to stay you help them settle in for a period of time, till they get their shit together. Months later, the man finds a job, starts paying rent to the original home owner. After a couple of years, the man buys his own home now that he's a part of the neighbour.
Umm... well I wasn't the one making the analogy of "breaking into my home." I was simply reacting to his/her analogy and explaining how it didn't make sense.
That’s really good news for America!
Back door! I love this woman
I'm sorry but I am in love with Desi
when she made the backdoor joke, i literally wanted to do her
At this rate, what's next? Canadians coming illegally into the Arctic illegally in an exodus? Northpolers (if such people exists) sneaking into the Far North of Russia? Russians forming groups of reindeers in an attempt to sneak into Kazakhstan and Mongolia? Who knows maybe this story might end with Australians abandoning their country in jet skis all the way into Antartica

Ouchhh. I can feel this thing all the way from Florida
She-Wolf Blitzer needs to do the news on CNN.
Canada is also America ( I mean the Continent of America)
Ryan Rodrigues Don't make me start, aparently they are the only Americans, the resto of the continent is not as important. It drives me bonkers
Shut up
As is SOUTH America.
Canadians are *North* Americans. Americans are Americans.
NO. This hemisphere was known as America LONG before the US was formed. So fuck off, Sparky.
