Desperate people do desperate things, and may take absurd risks out of fear. These people, PEOPLE, are likely terrified of what happens to them in the lawless cartel-controlled border areas... Scenes like this that demonstrate such desperation break my heart. \n\nI don't think anyone watching this would do anything different if their choice was between trying to escape exploitation, robbery, rape, and murder, and getting arrested by Americans who will, at least, respect their human rights (mostly).\n\nDo people really think that any significant proportion of these poor, dispossessed, desperate people, and their children, are criminals trying to infiltrate and take advantage of the US, rather than hoping and praying for a place to live, a decent job, basic dignity, and some safety and human rights?\n\nBut, y'know, let's be honest. There are a lot of Americans that only see brown people 'invading' 'our land'... I wonder how Native Americans feel about this, eh? (Seriously, I'd like to know... Anyone?)

What’s making them do this is my question, there has to be something going on thats triggered this level of desperation from so many people.

But Venezuela is a socialist country! Just like Democratic party is trying to push here in the States. Must be a paradise to live in Venezuela! Why are they so desperate to come here?

Wake up, Biden. You are responsible for these people's desperate attempts.

A lot of them are smiling. They're not as desperate as they cry to be.

It's to late for some media companies. A desperate attempt to gain followers with what may be real or faked who knows except for their past post. What I've seen from my past is you reap what you sowe.

Many of them are so desperate to save their families,yet who knows who is mixed up with this crowd. Got to keep the nation safe!

I hope they get the better life they so desperately want, people are cruel I think only drug/guns/human trafficking should be stopped at boreders why be so selfish as to keep innocent people in scary situations.

Imagine being that desperate to leave your own country. So sad.

They all know Biden is on his way out in a year so they’re desperate to flow across before desantis or trump shuts it all down for good.

People are desperate. I can't imagine being so desperate to attempt that.

Desperate people are refugees and unfortunately Americans forget their roots... Let them through

U can hear their desperate crys in there voices for a better life...this is sad...ppl need to heal the world

Very sad when a group of people are desperately trying to enter another country at the cost of their life. That goes to show, their country does not care for its people.

In a couple of days it will be April! There will be a ton of jobs opening in agriculture! Fist come first to get the closest and best! Later you cross… the farther north you have to travel to get a job that will pay! This is desperation in motion! We should be doing everything we can to develop the rest of America! For Americans! It wouldn’t take much!

I hurts seeing people flee with such desperation from communism. That shit is awful. We can’t take you. We’re literally fighting communism in the US right now. It’s ruining us.

If WW3 happens? Lets send these people that are so desperate to be here, lets send them to war, if the make it, then they can become an American Citizen, and they can live here, i bet none of them will fight for America? They will run back to their home countries.

it is going to get VERY UGLY real soon… we will witness army firing point blank on these desperate people

Sad to see such desperation amongst people

Those people are very desperate to make a run for the border into America but you, but the people of America also have to understand we can’t just let anybody in to our country. You know there’s murderers mass, murderers, serial, killers, cartels, cartel members,you know all types of violent criminals could have been in a crowd trying to seek safety in America, the stronger we are at the border the more safe for a country is

I feel so bad for these people. I can only imagine the desperation they feel. That said, they must only gain legal entry.\nI guess this is what comes with the territory. Even though we have become very tarnished, especially in the last 7 years. We are still one of the brightest beacons of hope in the world.

Democrats are very very desperate for votes.

CNN spent years banging on about the US being hostile to immigrants and yet here's thousands of people desperate to get in cos they know the US is the best place they could be. I'd happily emigrate to America if I could

The balls of these folks in desperation I guess but we should just seize control of those nations put all our needed factories there and put China in our rear view mirror. Sadly that won't happen with this current group of politicians.?

See how desperate they are? Imagine how desperate they will get finding out how hard it is to live in US right now. They don’t want to do the proper paperwork they won’t get the $$$$ handouts meaning they will have to do illegal activities to survive

This is what being desperate looks like. America was big brother to many third world Countries which helped and them. People’s lives would improve therefore eliminating the need to flee for survival. When the world gets difficult always the people that are poor will get it the worst.

It's so sad to see that people are so desperate to get out of their country they're ready to bum rush the bridge to get into the US

They are so desperate to get free shit

What I see is desperate people, who travelled for miles just to find a wall with no way to enter, so inevitably this will bound to happen

America, happily polices the world, cant even police its own doorstep and prevent mass exodus of desperate people

Wow thisbis madness, especially seeing young kids on their fathers shoulders desperate to get out of their country.?

The shere desperation shouldn't go unnoticed

My heart breaks for people who are so desperate to try anything to have a better life. God help us

Gee, could it be that they are becoming more and more desperate by the day? Never mind, it couldn’t be just that simple. Let me keep thinking and blaming other possibilities

Democrats are that desperate for votes! \nI went to doctor last week and got a bill for 1,200.00\nThese immigrants come here and see a doctor for free? \nWhy should I pay taxes.

People are desperate around the world

As I've said before and I've seen it first hand: People believe America is Paradise. People are willing to split up their family, allowing their children to go in alone, hoping that they will be allowed into Paradise, and serve as an anchor for them to follow in later. When people are desperate, they can't think straight, and this is what the dumb Democrats can't understand and would much rather accuse Republicans of separating families when the illegals don't mind if it helps them get a foothold into the Promised Land. This is why I believe Biden has sh-t for brains and is making the Cartels into billionaires. He is truly loved by the people traffickers of Mexico. VIVA BIDEN!?? BEST BUDDY OF LAWBREAKERS AND CHILD TRAFFICKERS ??.

They allowed people in ...this way, simply because they need cheap, desperate manpower in this country. Don’t be naive and think the authorities don’t know what they’re doing . Anyone who is familiar with the NORMAL immigration process knows all too well how long, and how difficult the Normal process is.

Aren’t the Venezuelans fleeing a war stricken country and cannot return to there homes either? I know when there is a benefit to negotiate many governments work together to find homes for those displaced by war. I need to go research what type of war Venezuela is suffering that there is no help for the people who are so desperate to risk their lives and die at the boarder. Because that is more likely their fate if they continue this way. ?? feel free to educate me if anyone knows the info I am pondering. Thx. I am sincerely inquiring not looking for a debate.

Yeah right. Closed? It's been closed this whole time ?. They won't and can't turn anyone away. It's just a ln election phoney good will stunt from both inept flailing and desperate leaders.

Imagine how desperate they must be to risk getting shot to come into another country? God bless America ??

Desperation due to REALITY.

What is the secret joy in canada that people are desperate to runaway from US to canada? Please enlight me?

its funny watching people desperately run into the country im trying to get out of

Desperate people

No one wants to call out illegal immigration for what it is another countries corruption and failures of its own population so desperately poor they want to move to other countries whose population live a better standard of living but suffering themselves. Why is this fair for legal born residents to put up with illegal poor people

It's about time human beings realise we all need a better life, we need each other, I may be living my best life today, but tomorrow, I may be fleeing for a better life, safety for my life and my family. Its sad to watch some people, telling others to go back where they come from, forgetting that tomorrow it might be them, looking for help desperately. If the world were to be kind and loving, it would be a peaceful world to live in....Love your neighbour just as you would love yourself ??, Hope all those people find Canada as a home to live and make it into prosperous Country ??

16:52 We are on a mission to educate the world. Meaning... We are on a mission to take advantage and milk the desperate suckers of the world. Listen, almost nobody needs school anymore, you can just learn most things on the internet these days. 17:44 Meaning... We are so glad too because we need more free cash to make the rich like myself, richer! hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Desperate people do desperate things...

When everyone complains, just look at how desperate people are to get here. It's still a great country.
