Friendly reminder that CNN was bought up by a right wing billionaire. They are subtle about it but they will make sure to push right wing narratives like this now - they'll show clips like this which push people into right wing narratives(like saying we need much stronger border control) without any context, exactly as this clip does.\n\n\nThat's not to say immigration isn't, perhaps, a problem - I'm not fully educated on the subject but i will tell you they do a huge number of the jobs Americans essentially refuse to do, like picking fruit for 11 hours a day in the heat and cold. Furthermore, large business owners profit immensely off these people, and a majority of large business owners are Republicans - sure they'll go along with the party line that immigration bad, but they hire these people by the truckload and pay them shit wages, actively and purposely depreciating the wages of American citizens while simultaneously blaming it on nebulous Democrat immigration policies.

Nop we are going through bad time are self we dont need more trouble.

I mean this is sad and I feel for them, however most people in this case would blame Americans or American govt. we have a lot of our own problems as well. These people are going through something but why? But why are they even going through it in the first place. Foreign govts are fked and corrupt but you are still subject to laws of OUR govt no one likes it when people just run into your house without being invited regardless of the situation. This is not a good look for foreigners trying to come through at all even though their situation might be bad doesn’t automatically mean it’s our duty to take care of it

As an American who is going blind hurts and badly has a tent on the street a wife I love and son my wife she is dieng my heart breaks for these people I don't even think they understand that America is not what they think but Lord hear these people forgive my selfish wants\n....... Yet as free will exists and the time draws nigh we did this to the people .......the world men love darkness rather then the light men in power have become corrupt greed on a massive level has destroyed this world in a little more then a hundred and fifty years tho there's always been wars and death and hell on earth but as a whole the earth kept on going yet we have taken and raped this earth for things and trinkits destroyed the rainforest the flood supply and given the young adults drugs and violence yet thell have the so called answer which consists of more death love one another people love one wnother if we don't who we'll and if you don't who we'll love you

Doing what north Korea does , doesn't look bad now. More diseases, more crime, our dumb government sux. Go to Biden house lol. Don't have an issue doing it legally. Lucky Texas can shoot anyone that goes on their property. Our government is so busy kissing ass to race and gender their not paying attention to nothing else.

Destroying our fences and you expect us to receive you with open arms. What else will you destroy in our country? Man we barely surviving over here. I feel bad for them though I can’t imagine what they going through.

A Pakistan doctor in Mississauga close to Hurontario St. and Dundas also behave like this with her patients. When ask for something she says go to your country and get that. Who can take action against this type of cheap educated doctors. They should never let people from some bad societies and bad manners to behave like that.

Why they want in here so bad? Can’t buy houses especially with these rates… can’t get good job because greedy CEOs… where they going?

Over 300,000 homeless veterans wander the streets searching for food and shelter currently. Dying at an estimated rate of 22 a day due to self inflicted harm….the system in place to take care of them and provide comprehensive medical care is crippled and broken….every SINGLE ONE of these men and women has a head full of bad memories and experiences from defending their country in war (some missing limbs)….can’t hold a job and have trouble finding a job….NOONE is making substantial and reinforced efforts to care for these brave men and women. Yet, if you cross that border illegally you’re given shelter (free stay at 5star hotels in NYC sound nice)…comprehensive medical care…food stamps and even job placement for some. And in some cases, we’re providing that help to individuals who are simply making a pit stop between Mexico and Canada because it’s better for them there according to some. Frankly, we have enough issues that are swallowing us whole and need to focus on building up and caring for our own citizens and force stop mass migration, strongly enforce deportation as well as employing more case workers to help with legal immigration process. We spend all this money sending to Ukraine and yet here we are, cutting our own throats to save someone else’s hand. I have no issue with legal immigration and asylum but you need to go through the process like those before you. I know this is asking a lot but it IS possibly to make it work

This is what the Democratic Party offers everyone, take a good look around. Open borders, taxpayer money going oversees, jobs being given to illegal immigrants over the country’s own citizens, etc. The Democratic Party if fundamentally Anti-American/Constitution, that’s why they want Big Government to have money, power & control over everything! Then they turn around and make you the bad guy if you say illegals should stay out because it’ll damage our economy even further. It’s all ass backwards!!!

Hahaha If they only knew how bad it really is here in Canada. They might not want to come here anymore. Wonder if they know that there going to turn your boys into girls into boys.

Us Americans are going through a lot right now… I get other countries are doing bad, but there’s about over 400k homeless ppl in the US. We don’t need this right now?‍♀️

This is an invading army and should be delt with that way. Biden has screwed our country up bad. It's going to take years to get back on track. Democrats are evil

What’s going on in Mexico…? Is it THAT bad ? You gotta ask why it’s so much better here as well

Probably because of how bad it is down there (Maga needs to go fight the drug cartel)

?The fact that they’re willing to put their babies in danger like that speaks volumes. Go about coming here the right way and stop making a bad name for people that deserve to be here! If you don’t like your country it’s up to you and your people to make it better. Stop relying on Americans to fix everything!

This isn’t the legal way to go. They figure Mexicans can band together and take on the borders. It’s so true, we can’t help the world. But it annoys me that people think they can come here , apply for social assistance on our money. You should see how badly want to come out to Canada. Where everything is free! No it’s not. Free for you but not the taxpayer. We’re feeding your families. While you have 6 kids on purpose to get a higher bonus. It’s sad.

My parents came illegally but became citizens thru the amnesty from Bill Epstein i mean Clinton, i was born here in California, even though i love my Mexican heritage i still think this is wrong, we need more border control but we also need to be able to make it easier for the good people to come here legally. Donald trump was not racist he was speaking the truth alot of these immigrants are bringing drugs over alot of them are bad people who will cause alot of problems over here for us thats why we need a screening process but a better one than we have now because the one we have now is very expensive and takes way too long, we could use the extra labor from people who want to come and actually work. There’s also more Chinese immigrants than mexican so we need to get a hold of that too , but these Central Americans trying to come in the country alot of them are gang members and most of them are poor and have no resources so when they get here they will become gang members and cause problems because they have no structure and thats all they know. They really need to do something about this. This is disgusting, this is not the right way trying to barge your way into our country is not the way to go

This has been going on at this insane level since before 2016 - slowed during Trump’s presidency, and ramped back up immediately upon Biden’s selection.\nUN and WEF agenda vi democrat policies: Break down the US by pairing open borders with a welfare state. Completely unsustainable and they know it. It’s not compassion is manipulation. It’s warfare. I don’t blame the South Americans for taking the bait, how could they resist such an opportunity? Too bad they won’t apply this kind of pressure in their own countries for reform.

How biased is the media he said nothing wrong about alcohol it leads to so much bad. And then when he was going into more depth on by they do this they cut him off. Islam is the fastest growing religion with convention. Islam fixes everything look at UAE,Qatar, Saudi etc amazing Safe countries. And so were Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Iraq before the USA decide to destroy those countries

I feel bad for the immigrants who are able to get into America. They have no idea that America is about to be judged by God with plagues, bank failure, civil war and martial law, food and water shortages, tyrannical government, mushroom clouds and invasion, earthquakes that cause California to go into the sea. Tsunami waves that will submerge west and east coast. Watch, they will leave and go back to their country once these things take place and Americans will start fleeing to Mexico instead.

But you don't realize that the human race is not worth saving any more. All we want to do now is eliminate you you are lost for evil greedy and you never want to help yourselves. You always want to take and be given everything. But you cannot even be a decent person in this world. You see how bad it is yet you continue to have children. You know what causes it yet your monkey mentality won't let you go further and stop the nonsense. This is your fault

Thank the Americans that go and visit the poor countries bragging how wealthy and easy life they have in the USA. How hypocritical men. I hope USA goes down bad in economics

Sorry…hate to go full bloodthirsty dictator here…but rightabouts now would be the time to start dumping some rounds. At least into the air. There’s protocols for entry into the US. If you’re not going to do it legally, then I’m sorry, our system can’t support you. I’m not saying all illegals are bad…but would it hurt to just come here…idk…legally? We’re already suffering from a bloated government and military industrial complex, which most Americans SHOULD know, is how the majority of these “politicians” have such high net worths, let alone the systems we have in place to help immigrants. We’re on the verge of a collapse financially…we need to cut back government spending and we can no longer place this kind of money to immigration, or the government themselves.

Yeah we barely got enough s*** here for ourselves we don't need a bunch of people coming here and take it at 2 we don't need competition for a resources I'm sorry but bad things are going around everywhere

This whole situation is stupid asf. Why don't nobody who wants to stay in their own country always come to one place. The US. There are other alternatives besides this poor country. I feel bad for Mexico it's like they disrespected our countries behaving like this and assuming that we are going to take care of everything. We are paying out our pockets to care for these ppl, taking advantage of us.

The fact that the media barely mentions the border anymore is scary. This is a normal day there. It's as bad as it's ever been and is just being ignored. This can't be allowed in a country that's going to continue functioning properly

What people don’t know , is just how bad things have gotten in Venezuela ! I am reminding people how our democracy has been under attack! There’s is gone! Where would Americans go , if our country’s democracy is gone? Hmmm ? Think

They need to get rid of all immigrants and not allow them to come to the states it’s bad enough that they can’t find Americans housing how on earth can they house illegal immigrants ??‍♂️ us citizens come first immigrants go back where you came from

During the 1930's media in various countries made immigrants and asylum seekers out to be this horrible thing and demonised them. This came after a huge recession in 1923, the Wall Street crash, and the subsequent dramatic rise of far right parties in various countries, specifically Italy, then Germany and Spain. \nFast-forward to modern times. 2008 saw another global recession. Once again politics swung massively to the right with countries like Italy (once again), Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden, voting in right wing governments, France ending in a run off that narrowly defeated the far right, Belgium and Spain looking likely to be heading into heavily right wing governments at the next elections, whilst the US and UK governments both saw their politics swinging far further in that direction, especially the UK right now whilst led by an unelected leader who is demonising people in ways that would make Trump look soft. One of themajor rallying calls: immigration. The way media report on this becomes increasingly demeaning and hateful. During the 1930's much of the European media and even as far as the UK was ramping up the scorn against the ever increasing influx of Jewish immigrants coming from Germany. Even into 1944 there was a vast amount of demonisation of them seeking asylum, despite the knowledge by this point that there were horrific conditions in camps where extermination was becoming ever more apparent. The Nazi German government in 1936 passed laws that enabled them to revoke citizenship and stripped away laws on human rights. It would be great to say that these poor souls who were being demonised in their own country were accepted into nations who could see what was going on and who wanted to help, but that just wasn't the way it went. Media played out as it is now, leading to rejection and a greater number of deaths as a result of this. The way the UK government is currently working, it actually sounds like the maxi government of the mid 30's during the time of the Nürnberg laws. \n \nThe world feels far smaller now with double the amount of people and with things like social media playing a huge role in the lives of many. The ease of access to people around the world has made issues seem to stretch to far more countries now, whereas back then it was a time of empires. I get that there will be many here who support Trump, many who support Biden, there will be Brit's who support Sunak and the rather vicious words of Suella Braverman, whilst others will be more on the side of Starmer (I'm well aware of all the other parties but they don't stand to gain as much). There will be French people backing Macron, whilst others back Le Pen. We could go through each country all the way to the battle between Fujimori and Castillo in Perú, and the stories are much the same, but how will history judge us when people look back to this time? Will it be another occasion where we demonised those trying to escape the horror of the place they had the bad luck to be born in whilst we were luckier? \n\nI know there is hardship everywhere. I'm struggling more than most and I know I can't keep living this way. However, I don't want to be a part of history people look back at and say ‘if only they did something to help prevent this.’. I would rather be a part of history people look back upon and say; ‘that was a boring time period where nothing important happened’. It's already too late for that. Instead I try to remember that, though I was born into a family who never really wanted me, I was lucky enough to be born into a country that could support me during the hardest times. When you look at immigrants, remember that every one of us has immigrants in our family tree somewhere.

You know that is consider as a frontal invasive it is in consideration as a terrorist act and should have been handled with force I do feel bad for the people just they should go home clean up there streets together and get rid of there gang problems and there own life frustration don't come here bringing your trash don't come here bringing your rapist murders and thieves we have enough of that going on and of our government got off it's lazy greedy ass and taken care of the problem instead of making money off it we all be in a better position.

Yes and if these people truly believed in God and Jesus they wouldn't run from their countries but actually stay on the ground and stand strong in their faith that God and Jesus are going to help them persevere through all this. As a fully disabled American citizen with a child that doesn't even get $1,000 a month and there's no available housing at all where I live no waiting list to go on people on SSI disability don't get any extra housing help we're not offered separate housing are put on separate lists and low-income Able Body people or the migrants jumping the Border but I was born and raised here paid taxes and worked until my body literally couldn't anymore but I don't hear anybody bitching and screaming and crying about the fact that my son and I would be on the streets if it hadn't been for one of my family members stepping up and giving his housing after a lifetime restraining order issued during my pregnancy on my son's biological do do with domestic abuse situation. I'm also US citizen that spent time in the Wards in Houston and projects and other cities and if you don't think that we don't have the same gun violence drug trafficking human trafficking gangs take it over cartels taking over neighborhoods and communities than you're freaking lying to yourself and everybody else. The same s*** that's taken over these countries is taking over the inner cities have been for decades and these are the same communities that most of these people will end up in. No it's not about not being good Christians part of being a good Christian is reminding people to stand their ground and have faith in Jesus and God and their own home territory and not to give it up to the crime people in the bad politicians. You can't say you believe in God and Jesus Christ and then he's got your back while you're running and that's the truth in the reality that nobody wants to hear the more people run from these countries the more the bad people are able to take over and then we get complaints here in the states about the cost attacks is rightfully so. For those people screaming and shouting that everybody should go out pick up in my grant and bring them home to their house and feed them and take them and I challenge you to do the same thing for homeless before you even do the migrant do homeless American citizens go out and really educate yourself because I'm totally tired of hearing from Americans that the only people that live on the streets are people with mental health problems that need mental health treatment or people that are stoned out and that's where they want to be you guys are so f****** wrong and this is coming from someone that met homeless people spent time around homeless people and understand we have a society that wants to paints a very different picture than what's truly going on because then it allows for hey it's not our problem they want to be there. I will say there's two I'm sure a lot of people are attracted to come into the United States I mean it's kind of turned into the Devil's Playground don't you think I mean look at how ostentatiously people live the projects on the backs of taxpayers selling dope holding down dead-end jobs to make it look like they're working all while going out and getting their hair did and their nails done and their eyelashes done and pimping out their cars and all that b******* and buying all this you know high-end tennis shoes and f****** clothing and Handbags and s*** and then we have the part of the United States that justified of themselves all the time or it's okay to have this huge palatial house or have multiple houses I'll we have United States veterans living on the streets or people that truly have disabilities that have been a waiting list for 2 and 3 years for housing. I remind people all the time and they hate hearing this s*** Jesus never had a house as a matter of fact Jesus basically live like a homeless person after he was an adult particularly and God made sure he was provided for. I mean did you all forget the night they came to take them away they were asleep in an Open Garden it wasn't like they popped up tents or glamper camper sites had some little Adobe type cabins they were sleeping in. As a matter of fact if you pay attention to most of the stories about Jesus and talking about him sleeping he does a lot of sleeping Outdoors. Remember God is a father that's how he's been represented and talked about in the Bible and Jesus was a man without a doubt no biological transgender question ability there. People need to remember that part of being a fair and loving. Is also teaching and discipline and these children following rules. I don't believe hearing God and Jesus telling all these people run from your countries and not have faith that I'm actually going to fix things for you and go run to somebody else actually go run to the United States where all those stuff is traveling through. I never understood the logic of that it's like rats run from the country where they're making the drugs to the country that supplying the globe with it and we're all of these bad people have thousands of people in planted everywhere with guns and hookups. I don't know why people don't understand that we have dirty lawn forcement in dirty politicians that are in bed with the dirty drug cartels that's as much as they are in the country. You don't think that there's not decisions made in the United States based on drugs and I'm not talking about how to put it into them but how to keep them flowing. I have Fred still in Florida and we were all making jokes about how quickly Sanibel Island all the way up to st. Pete got Mainland access so quickly after the last major hurricane that took everything down and we all know what it's from is because that portion of Florida is used to bring a lot of drugs in from South America, Central America. So for all of you that want to post your personal assumptions about homeless people because that's all it is unless you've actually been homeless or spent time around homeless you really have no clue what's going on in the homeless population except what you've been told by the same political talking head media bulshit that's been lying to everybody about a bunch of other stuff too. Don't you get it the politicians don't want people knowing that a lot of the people that are homeless on the street are people that are disabled and aren't disabled because they have mental health problems I know that's the narrative they've been trying to stuff down people's throats.

Too bad go home

Things are so incredibly bad in Mexico that the people need to leave…I mean it’s obvious they are terrified of Mexico to the point they would rather go though this…that speaks volumes of what they are going though and ignoring them isn’t an option since america totes itself as this free country you come to to change your life…maybe america should stop saying that and say their freedom has prices most can’t pay for…lol

They trying to picture like this is happening all days and at all times with no control. Don’t be so naive, even tho this is new it is not happening 24/7 Have you ever being at the border crossing? There is a lot of security and even when you cross with a visa the officers act like if you wanna stay there when you are just a tourist. Most people rather loose their dignity to go to a country where you are being treated like ? But I would never treat bad a gringo in Mexico because Im educated and have manners.

This is communist propaganda. If you want to understand this video, you first need to realize that all video exists within a given context.\n\nThis video shows people who are “in a panic.” It doesn’t show people who calmly travelled thousands of miles at their own expense, to get to the U.S. border.\n\nAre you going to stop people who are in a panic? You must be a really mean white person. All white people are bad.\n\nThe video shows a mixture of Hispanics and Africans. In fact, the Africans had undertaken a long and very expensive route. First, they had to pay to go from Africa, to South America; and then they had to pay again to get from South America to the U.S. border. Professional Travel Agencies arranged all of this.\n\nSo these people are in no way “refugees”. But now, Washington D.C. claims that “refugees” and “migrants”and “dreamers” are all the same group. Therefore, American taxpayers must provide transportation, health care, food, housing, and employment to anyone who enters the United States for any reason. \n\nThat’s an invasion. \n\nDo you think it’s bad right now? Cuba, Mexico, and Haiti all plan to send fifty million more people to the U.S. within the next ten years. \n\nAfter the collapse, Asia will send another fifty million. So will India. The U.S. Army planned all of this. It’s an invasion from within.

People from other countries think that by coming here it’s all going to be better but it’s already bad for us right here everything is so expensive

Then they come over and the kids go to a well funded public school while paying very little tax. They then do not even take advantage of the oppurtunity and skip class, hang out in the bathroom vaping, and be racist to other non hispanic kids. How do i know? Because thats what happened at my school. They are extremely racist!!! They huddle up in their hispanic “bad boy” group and block the stalls and when i asked them to move and they said they fucking hate white people and called me a white bitch.

I am not racist but no one should be allowed in this country illegally. Not a Biden fan or supporter but not a Trump fan either. I do agree with Trump on not allowing illegal immigrants into the country. They have to go through the legal steps like all foreigners who take years to become a citizen. You can't skip the line. Also, they bring a lot of Mexican gang members over who murder people in the US and are racist. Biden sucks for this. I'm African American also. Housing is already bad. My building is full of Hispanics that trash my building destroyed property disrespect other tenants. I am neither dem or republican but lean towards republican in cases like this.

The west is going down, as bad as it was, it was better without these scum.

So now all our taxpayer money will be going to people who came illegally? It's already bad enough Trudeau gives all our money to other countries and everyone he brought over from Siria and Ukraine but our own citizens get nothing and pay taxes to feed and home these people. Yes it may be bad in their countries but why do we need to pay for them and suffer???

My sympathy with Venezuelans, they are victims of socialist policies of Nicolas Maduro. But America is not a right place to seek refuge because America is getting screwed up very badly itself. They better board a ship and go to somewhere in Europe. Europeans welcomed the Ukrainian refugees, so there is hope for Venezuelans in Europe but not in America.

The country's that's bringing the war to another country's like United states ???? , ????, ???? etc. You have to stop bringing the war to Africa, Afghanistan etc. who bring the war in our country DRC Congo ???? isn't you people now is more than 25 years of war in DRC Congo you people are supporting Rwanda to bring war in DRC Congo more than 12 million people are killed by Rwanda armies RDF/23 terrorists until today war is continuing to be tough and people are killing every single day but community international is silent about it ???? and you are continuing to support Paul kagame president of Rwanda ?????? what do think about congolais people we will stay to the place where they are killing us? ?? .but if the will be peace to all country's like Canada you will not start seeing lots of immigrants. But if the war continues to be and the immigrants will continue to come. Who knows today the war is in DRC Congo, Somalia etc. But tomorrow it will be to another country, the Ukrainians people they was don't know if one they can flight or running away from them country to be a refugees to another country but today they are everywhere like congolais people is because of war and the didn't expecting it to be but because of situations that is going on the have to look for protection. Big power country you have to stop bringing the war to another country because that it would make everyone to stay safe to them country please this is not fair, people are passing in lots of things to arrive here in Canada or United states is no easy to be to destination so many many people are dead on the ways to come to Canada and United states and the dead bodies are just lifted it on the desert etc. Canada is first country in the world to have love to one another to know value of human being and to respect others I hope you will continue to have the same good hearts Canadian people are having and all things we committed in the hands of God ???? . Thank you so much for understanding to read this and God bless Canada. And if you had not been in the war ask us who we was born in the war and growing up in and have our children in the war. Don't laugh to your neighbors oh her son or daughter died for you is a party but remember today is to your neighbors and tomorrow it will be your tour. Good luck to all my brothers and sisters immigrants who come in this badly situation I hope God will open another way to cross in ??

Now CBC and Biden realize migrants crossing is bad. Now are they going away from woke fully?

I'm pretty sure Mexican are not loving The invasion so now they know why Trump was the way he was..because now the Mexicans are trying to do what Trump was trying to do in the first place!! first Mexico gets invaded by Honduras they didn't like that..and now they get invaded by Venezuelans I'm pretty sure they don't like that either!! Mexico already have his own problems all they needed was more people to add to the problem they got.. not only that but some of these people will try to set camp in Mexico and live there like Hundura did..Mexican people barely got sources for themselves i feel bad for all of this.. but now Mexico's really going to feel the pain they don't need more people in their country that's is not going to provide for them!! ?

You ask why are we seeing this??? Potato Head Joe and his freak show administration!! If these people want in so bad, all legal aged people crossing the border, go straight to enlist in the military!!!

Let me get this straight: NY is so bad, that people would volountarily go to Canada instead?

The USA is so bad even the immigrants don't want to be there .. way to go???

We need to bring the military in. These migrants have no respect for our laws. This may be bad for the US because these people are going to turn America into the countries they are fleeing from

Why do people want to migrate so badly? Why not just visit the other country for a while and go home? Embrace your culture. It's better to live in your own land surrounded by your family and friends then to be a stranger in a foreign land.
