Good grief. Why doesn't this woman get it?? These people are DESPERATE.

Venezuelans are desperate because the country went from riches to rags and everyone there is hungry.

What are they running from? Why do they want desperately to leave their country. What’s happening over in Mexico? That amount of people something is really weird.

Let them in. These people need help. They’re desperate. The right thing to do would be to let them in

why now? what's happening there that people feel this desperate??

@Mac Ronan \nOh, there's _plenty_ of housing, however, unlike my parent's and grandparent's generations, the buying market is unfathomably skewed, to the detriment of single families. This is largely because of the bulk buy up of properties by hedge funds, which in turn rent these properties at exorbitant costs, and severely limiting the supply of homes available to buy by prospective homeowners. Another factor is the curtailing of multiple family housing (as in affordable apartment buildings and duplexes) due to unprecedented restrictions on development zoning permits for the average citizen,\ninstead favoring the whims of commercial and gated community developers, most of whom have contributed to the campaigns of the various city council members who enact these policies. Beginning with deregulation and less focus on community development under Reagan, the crowding out of potential new home buyers saw an upsurge after the '08 crash. With thousands of Americans facing homelessness with impending foreclosure, most were forced from their homes, and thus a huge upsurge in demand for lower cost rentals for tenants that now had terrible credit ratings.Their former homes (sometimes entire neighborhoods), however, were purchased dirt cheap by aforementioned hedge funds and large rental property realtors from banks desperate to recoup even a fraction of their losses due to the crash. This policy of 'pump and dump' mass property purchases continued, largely turning the once suburban neighborhoods of homeowners into strictly assets to be squeezed for every bit of profitability possible. Even as the economy stabilized, even after the big banks profited overall from these foreclosures, because there were no lasting effective measures taken to prevent this housing situation from reoccurring, nor was the issues surrounding the housing market for single family home ownership ever addressed, let alone properly rectified, the housing market steadily constricted. As the U.S. gasps a last breath in it's death nell through late stage capitalism, there is no future policies or government reforms championing loudly for affordable home ownership on the horizon, and this is not likely to change anytime soon, not as long as the megalomaniacal entities continue to usurp any chance for the American Dream to be realized for all future generations.

How are they all militant without any weapons in hand trying to cross the boarder ?Funny enough the people who stormed the capital in January weren’t Militant and they were ready to lynch people and carried all types of weapons. These people are desperately looking for better lives . The shouldn’t need to go in illegally but if there was transparent policy where they can go through proper process without being criminalized legally applying for asylum and locked in concentration camps waiting for verdict without right if speech or to get a lawyer a lot of people wouldn’t need to cross illegally. Not even speaking of the necropoltics in immigration laws and how the system plays on peoples emotions with these moral panics and media narratives. It’s really sad . They are better off going to Canada or Europe honestly . They might not be militants over there

Imagine you're in a boat that's already sinking and trying desperately to dump out the water with a bucket that has holes in it and then some asshole in a different boat starts dumping buckets of water out of their sinking boat into your sinking boat.

I can’t imagine the fear & desperation that would cause such large numbers of refugees to do this. What happened to the “war on terror”? Isn’t a threat to our neighbors a future threat to us?

It is so sad that people are so desperate to leave their own country, culture and family. So, desperate that they would go to a country where they are not welcome. It must be demanded that Mexico and other southern countries fix their problems and take care of their people.

How can anyone not feel bad when you see those desperate faces. And those two women at the end man.. yes we have to take care of our own but we are the greatest country on earth we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Yet the GOP consider these people to be subhuman and call it an invasion. They wouldn’t last a minute in these peoples shoes and goes to show how strong they are and the bravery an determination for a better life

As the same as most of the migrants breaking in to other countries illegally they are not desperate impoverished people fleeing war.they all have smart and iPhones and some are in designer clothes paying people smugglers thousands to get them across borders and then acting like thugs when they are prevented from illegally entering These countries.??‍♀️

I got the answer, how about the US government take its knee off the neck of the Venezuelans. The US foreign policy toward these countries is a huge part of the problem they have and why they are desperate to come here. I hope the US government gets put in its place soon so the desperation and bloodshed in these other countries at their hand will stop. The US says it’s for human rights well stop sanctioning these countries just because they don’t bend to the demands of the US and their corporations for exploitation.

How dare countries go to war, instead of fixing world problems?! People are growing more and more desperate and no help in sight.

DANGEROUS PEOPLE, DESPERATE PEOPLE DO DESPERATE THINGS.... THIS IS PAST RESPECTFUL TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND THEIR PEOPLE....\n\nbiden isn't helping and won't be any time soon...\nGet rid of biden !

They’re hungry and desperate. Quit giving money to the Ukraine president n take care of this problem biden ya idiot!!!!!!!!!

Anyone desperately needing to run across a bridge in hopes of finding a better life is heartbreaking.

God bless the desperate people. We need to change. We need to make the difference. Don't you know that foreign countries are buying multi-million dollar properties and not living in them? Whole cities are abandoned too! Don't believe me? Just watch!

now wy the FLUK are they so Freakin Desperate to Storm in Here ?\nwat Exactly is their Shitty EVIL Government doing to them ?\nor is it someSing else -theres FoodStamps waiting for the First 50'000 lucky Illegal RecipientS

Students are desperate to come to Canada, schools and colleges are desperate to get their money, students are looser students are looser seems like big scam.

I'm pro immigration and I also see the problems we have with today's legal migration system so I don't blame them for being desperate. However, also taking all consideration from the side of the law and nation. Turn on the buuzsaw.

How desperate must you be to enter a country like USA? you have expensive health care, no holidays, I work only 32 hours a week!! but I guess there'll always be people more unfortunate than you.

Statue of liberty is crying too... our government has raped the country and people so bad that we have no humanity left as a society. We are suffering too, you see the news... we aren't disrespecting other countries immigration laws to escape in masses. We are poor too, what yous ee on TV is the elite and they are a sliver of what the real America is. We are angry, desperate, hungry, over worked, over taxed and abused by police daily.... you are running from one hell, and into a worse hell. America is a lie, run AWAY, not to.

Stop treating desperate people like they are cattle... this is not Christian. Those people are our brothers and sisters!

this is a provoked invasion, someone is helping/encouraging them to do this. someone wants people incapable of taking care of themselves, they are more desperate and easier to control. someone wants slave votes, probably the people supporting and allowing this to happen.

This is absolutely disgusting and just plain barbaric why the heck we want these types of deranged people over here we really have enough of our own that we can barely handle and take care of.\n\nAnd then they go on to complain about what a s***** country this is and burn up our flag not want to stand up for the national anthem Etc yet are so desperate to get there behinds over here! \n\nWhy not try to work on your own country make it be what you want it to be because if you think you're going to come over here to change our country to fit your standards or your type of mindset sorry that's not going to happen because otherwise we'd have the same type of Chaos you guys are trying to escape from... supposedly...

This is so sad.\nI cannot imagine their desperation.

These people are desperate

Desperation

For the people out there that think America is terrible. These people are desperate to get here…America for all its faults is still the best country in the world.

Wow don’t they all look so desperate. Immaculate and dishevelled from all that Persecution…. *eye roll! Nothing short of another war tactic

I'm failing to see how desperate immigration and border crossing attempts can have any correlation with war mongering, senile, power hungry (or whatnot) politicians\n\nWhat does your bigoted bipartisan ideals on your perceived notion of politics have anything to do with (im)migration control or humanitarian crises?\n\n???

Why are these people so desperate to leave their countries if the United States is supposedly giving their governments billions????

Absolutely DISGUSTING that people believe they have a “right” to just straight up IGNORE the laws of the country they’re SUPPOSEDLY so desperate to “immigrate” to!\nJust like in every other country (that’s not been completely subsumed by the cult of “woke” mind-virus) that protects IT’S citizens and it’s LEGALLY RECOGNIZED BORDERS and it’s perfectly acceptable for “certain” other countries, but it’s somehow “wrong” for the greatest nation on the face of the earth when they do it!?\nTFOH with that hypocritical BS!\n\nPS the communist news network (AKA cnn) flushed whatever journalistic integrity/credibility they had when they pushed proven lies about “Russian collusion” even when various hosts admitted it was a *nothing burger* and even the owner was caught by James O’Keefe.

Man I feel sorry for the officers as well as the desperate folks. This is really a sad state of affairs

It's the same all around the world. Any country that has borders, which is every country on our Earth. People are desperate for themselves and their families. \nI think that the question is not why ? But why would people who are hungry or at risk, not want to be elsewhere, on n order to better themselves and their precious children?

What's crazy is how desperate these folks are to get here and the people that are already here are trying to vote away everything that these people desperately seek: freedom!\nWe shall learn soon if we don't stand up and fight for freedom. \nLeave our rights alone! Legalize the Constitution!

To all the people in the comments upset with poor, desperate, people with no power instead of the American government that has undoubtedly destabilized these countries to the point where their citizens are fleeing to other countries…know that you are angry with the wrong people!\n\nThese people just want better lives for their families! That should cause everyone to question why they want to leave? Is there something we can do to support change in their countries so they don’t want to leave? Can we advocate for that in our politics? Is there something we can do to make housing more affordable? There isn’t a housing shortage, we have 600,000 homeless with millions of vacant homes! Can we advocate for the rights of people over giant real estate companies like Blackstone gobbling up houses and apartments, making them unaffordable before we scream that there aren’t houses for these people?!\n\nThe complete lack of effort around finding a solution is mind blowing to me! Everyone just resorts to basically saying they should all be kicked out!! Why can’t we find a solution? I just don’t get why this is such a controversial issue! Kicking them out or criminalizing them is just sweeping the issue under the rug. It doesn’t solve the problem, meaning after a while they will come back and we will be right back where we started. \n\nI guess I just feel like there should be a little more compassion and problem solving when talking about immigration!

You must be really desperate to go to Canada. I would give them an award just to arrive so far north.

Regardless of your woke ideology, FACTS don’t lie. FACT illegal immigrants commit felonies at a rate 80 percent higher than legal U.S. citizens. FACT these people are so desperate they are willing to participate in brutal cartel violence and drug trade. Americans struggle enough to pay the bills, we CANT just let any person come in. Go fix your own countries!!!

I cant imagine being in their shoes.. its heartbreaking. Theyre so desperate to feel safe and stable again and they truly think america is the safest place and will produce opportunities. My father is a viet war lieutenant and was privileged to be able to come here legally as a refugee. He provided our family with a stable home and never starved. My family is very privileged and i wish i could help all of those in war torn countries or just people running from corruption but its so little we could do…

I don't think people realize that Mexico does not have the resources to hold all the South American and Central American migrants , unfortunately these humans are desperate they're fleeing violence and hunger they won't stop

But the question is, why would they try to do this. A person must be very desperate and have no other way if they tried running the border like this.\nI see everybody wants to act in the usual American way. \nBut just think about it for a second and use your heart.

My heart goes out to these people. They are desperate and scared and just want a safe place to raise there kids. This is a humanitarian tragedy.

The crazy thing is that many of their governments get funding from the US and their own government keep the money for themselves and their own families. Corruption is what has these countries poor and desperate.

American imperialism creates the conditions abroad whereby people become desperate enough to flee to imperial core.
