They’re told they’d be arrested if they cross into Canada, and yet, they still enter. And where are the US Border Patrol Officers?

If illegal aliens are crossing the CANADIAN borders, then why isn't Hizzoner Alejandro Mayorkas declaring a border control EMERGENCY AT ALL?

? I do feel for these people. However, how do you measure the quality of immigrants wanting to live in the US. Thousands of Venezuelans have crossed the border to Colombia. Although most want a better life, there are the many that do atrocities!!! The city where my parents are from there are neighborhoods where Venezuelans hangs have taken over….. there were peaceful places before Venezuelans got there. It can be frustrating when talking about immigration.

Allow the border patrols to do their jobs, seal the borders electric fences, rubber bullets and water canons and anyone crossing illegally should be sent to prison automatically 7 years for trespassing into a country illegally...then on release date a 1 way ticket back to where they came from..... if I hurt anyone feelings just write down your address if you wanna house illegals in your place....our families have come here legally generations in and paying high taxes in nyc to see these people just come in and think its all free.... housed in expensive zipcode, hotels, while we overlook the inside of our country... opioid epidemic, country divided, homeless everywhere, let's take care of our own country and everyone who came here legally.!!!!❤ ?? ? ??

people need to understand, yes people do try to cross the border to do not so good things but there is also people who just want to live a happy life. they wanna come here cause they feel it will be better. they just want a happy life.

Everyone you are actively watching a plan put forth by the UNITED NATIONS to destroy the USA from within by by collapsing the social and economic structure of America by allowing 100 million illegals to cross the southern border and any official who does not actively try to stop it is guilty of treason. Mayorkis, Biden, Karin Jean Pierre. All should be arrested and tried and if found guilty executed

Border crossing dropped 80% under Trump. Now we have a weak President and it’s open season again

This has been going on for 2 years every day at multiple locations along the border FOX news has reporters there and do daily segments talking to people crossing over they show it all no holding back the sad and ugly parts the trash they leave behind the different wristbands they wear from the cartels they paid children without parents land owners who have had their lives threatened their livestock killed their property destroyed, deaths by drowning in the day and night rescues made in the dangerous places of the river, the count is up to 173 different countries of people crossing in many with no birth certificates or identification even Newsmax & OAN have reporters there there are many independent journalists trying to bring awareness to this from day one of Biden opening the border when he took office ????

You got all these guns, but can't stop a group of illegal aliens crossing the border?

Yep, folks, we are under attack! The media is NOT reporting on just his many Chinese, CCP Nationals they’ve caught crossing into our borders through Mexico. America is under attack, y’all. The stage is being set….

In order to cross drugs and guns on another part of the border. Bidens policies caused this.

Of course CNN ignored the 15 million invaders crossing the southern border

Every since this has been allowed to occur we suddenly don’t have jobs in restaurants that allows people to work without citizenship or green card. They are taking those jobs speaking no English and being used and overworked. They are easier to deal with cause they barley complain. So people(americans) are being pushed out big time. They starting with the lowest pay . Lower than what Americans would accept. I completely understand that wall?? I can’t even take a vacation without a passport to the countries and I’m not planning on staying at all. We can’t go for a few days without documentation.. let alone pick up our whole lives and cross one of those borders without being rejected. So explain to me.. what gives them that right?

Before everybody so quick to blame immigrants for trying to cross the border let me try to tell you the reason why they're trying to cross the border you see they're trying to get away from loss of the poor really don't have a choice it's either join the cartel or get forced into it people don't really know how brutal the cartel is I've seen how brutal they are they have decapitated you fed people to dogs and have beaten and skinned people that goes for any gender both men and there was also the case where a cartel made a young kid into a hitman

Americans and Europeans need to get a job and apply for a visa before entering any country. \n\nHow are these people so entitled to believe they can just cross the border and move to a country forever

But why are they attacking? It's US policy, they are no one to protest against US politics. Being an Indian it makes me sad. Even we are facing huge illegal immigration problem as thousands of Bangladeshis are crossing borders illegally and affecting our elections.

The US is a country of immigrants, built by immigrants. But they also need to respect US sovereignty. As someone who is not from the US, these people are exploiting the media attention and public sympathy to illegally cross the borders.

America needs to take care of America! No more illegals crossing the border! American’s are suffering more with housing now then ever. Mexican’s coming in over here. Is taking up all our housing. No more illegals over here!!!

mostly peaceful border crossing.

Funny thing is. We give billions to Ukraine to keep Russians out. but we can't keep unarmed migrants from crossing our border. FjB

Glad they said that they were from a different country (venezuela) because right away people assume that everyone who crosses the border are all Mexican!!!

My heart to those border workers and people trying to find a home. That's gotta be just gut wrenching and heart breaking.\nEveryone always says horrible things about this but they always ignore the fact that no one leaves a good place, no one goes away from somewhere they're being treated well and situations are ideal. \nThings have to get pretty bad for you to be carrying a small child on your shoulders through a sea of people to a border after crossing who knows how much land.\nPeople need to remember to have a heart.

Just for a context these are NOT Mexicans. They are from the other Spanish speaking countries that come to Mexico to cross the border. Mexicans are going back to Mexico because they know America is shit right now.

Nothing but an invasion. Mexico used to stop them in the southern border w Guatemala but Biden’s Admin changed that, now Americans are seeing what they didn’t see b4. And there are a lot more coming… most of these people were relying on social services in their native countries, so guess where they going once they cross the border? We US Citizens will have to pay way more taxes to support them.

The amount of immigrants I see illegally enter and cross into El Paso are insane. I know this from living right next to it all. We are talking at least once a week seeing 8+ individuals at once or even more. . . Women, Men, young Teens and even children. . . They enter our homes to find a safe haven and flee from border patrol that is roaming the streets and it’s a constant battle of keeping your home safe from people that may or may not be good people. It’s unfortunate. My grandfather immigrated to the US from Mexico years ago and did so legally. He established our family here and any other relatives since have crossed legally and obtained citizenship. It’s a hard and long process but it’s necessary.

As a Canadian citizen I would be jailed and prosecuted if I tried to illegally cross the border!

Umm..Why r we seeing this right now? What a dumb question. She has got to be the worst News reporter in history and lives under a rock. Its been going on for years now ever since Slow Joe Biden invited everyone to come and dismantled the policies Trump (Our Real President) enacted that we’re working by preventing most migrants from attempting to cross our border. All Joes fault. By every measure Biden is the worst President we have ever had. How dumb do you have to be to say “end of quote” “Repeat the line” while reading a speech from the Teleprompter.

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.

10 miles away 10 tons of coke crossed the border :D

Open fire !\n\nWe need borders like China and North Korea , you try and cross illegally you get shot ! \nMaybe that would stop this crap

If you call January 6 an insurrection and dont call blms crap the same thing then i can understand why you wouldn't call a massive group of people trying to cross the border an invasion.. that would also call for a military response....

USA is unable to pay their 31+ Trillion Dollar Dept & pay for illegal people crossing the Borders SEND THEM BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY ASAP WE DON'T WANT THEM ??

Because you nitwits, it is illegal to cross the border. That way you have to go the legal way with paperwork and documents.

Americans need to arm themselves and head to the border. Every illegal crossing gets a ......

And you reported that 5 million have crossed the border. Not real news. Not only does it take away from our own poor but also makes crime increase. Plus what happens with jobs for American citizens? How about unemployment? What's wrong with them staying in Mexico

That's not an attempted entry, that's a forced invasion of the US by another country. Put guards at the border who are armed and signs that you will be shot down upon illegally crossing.

That one tiny crossing is closed, but let's not forget, Canada has the longest unprotected border in the world. Illegal migrants will always be a huge threat to national security for generations to come.

Cross the border into other countries and get imprisoned or shot dead why not our country but yea yea Biden will give them a food card and let them go in hopes Thay show up to court

And the liberals say that they are not in the wrong, that we should accept them when they try to cross the border. Nope. Grab a clipboard, fill out the proper forms, sit down and wait your turn. They’re lucky we don’t shoot illegals

Imagine the border patrol looking through binoculars as they see hundreds of people ready to try and cross the border??

This is disregarding laws..illegally crossing a border into another country...send the military and open up the riffles and prove we will defend our country..1 day maybe 2 and they'll all turn around and tell everyone the pass heading our way,military is there and they defending their border.they will shoot your arse

The difference between the border police and the ones crossing the Border : came earlier than the latter. Literally the same people?

The Americans want to be the police of the world so bad and they can't even stop people for crossing their own border ????

This is at a checkpoint. What do you think is happening where there is no wall. Don't think everyone crossing are citizens of Mexico, Central and South America. Not to mention the border to the north that no one even thinks about.

They’re not asylum seekers, they are asylum breakers. If asylum is what they seek, send them to the insane asylums. You gotta be crazy for wanting to voluntarily move into Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York or Chicago. You know, the worse places in the USA to live. Unless you are well off to begin with.\n\nMy rant: I swear politicians use the illegal immigrant border crossings as media fodder or campaign debate ammunition. Why not set up a program financed by their home country and ours to get them physically and financially healthy to work or start businesses in their home country? Physically, because they are coming here with all kinds of old world curable diseases, due to being born into an inadequate healthcare system. Not really their fault. The cost of living is so low for them that they could afford a future of prosperity or middle class lifestyle in their country of origin. Force their governments to change economically to sustain themselves for their interests. Imposing themselves upon a nation no longer prospering as it did during and after the Industrial Revolution is senseless. There is hardly any upward mobility in blue collar jobs, ever more so in the labor market. If they are not making $40K/year (assuming the majority has not a college degree in something marketable, advanced skills, a tradesman or artisan) then they’re struggling like everyone else in the service industry. Jobs for teenagers, entry level workers, part time jobseekers like for students, people needing extra income cause it’s so expensive in CA, NY, Austin, TX, Chicago or SF living off work entry-level service jobs. Technology has created a shortage or labor gap between unskilled jobs. Jobs that Americans need while pursuing training or technical degrees for the new skilled jobs. \n\nImmigrants do not need to fit the stereotypes of working in the service industry or as farm workers. American citizens can fill these labor positions quite easily. No, immigrants, work visa or not, do not work any harder, smarter, slower or faster than anyone else wanting to work. If someone is motivated to work an unskilled labor job then they will be just as effective as the next person. The HR for these companies definitely virtue signal and satisfy diversity quotas every time they hire someone due to their work status or ethnicity. Everyone and anyone can be replaced and so the question is, who do you, as an employer, want to replace the job vacancy with? Gonna hire cause they are a good fit or because your helping some politicians cause? Gonna grant asylum cause their lives are in danger from a government firing squad or because Biden/Harris will pat you on the back? \n\nThere is reason to illegally enter this country and it is disrespectful, disgraceful, dishonorable, dishonest and disheartening to the ones who are here legally by going through the process like everyone else paying time and money. Even Christopher Columbus paid to be here, no one handed him a free ticket to ‘paradise.’ The Mayflower patrons weren’t met with resistance by the indigenous community, they were harmonious. If there was a border in Maryland at Plymouth Rock, I am sure the Puritans would stop there first to get their passports stamped. I mean hell, these ‘asylum seekers’ don’t have the courtesy to get passports, why not? Passports are not that expensive considering what they pay coyotes. It makes no sense and is suspect. They won’t get stopped at the border if they have a passport!!!

The asylum system is being abused. No country can sustain 2 million immigrants per year no matter how they come. Let them in and fly them directly home. If you're fleeing danger in Venezuela and you're in Mexico, you're no longer in danger. Especially when you've traveled through multiple countries. If the danger is in your country, cross the border and apply for asylum in the next country.

I bet ya that if they had a good barricade in place with armed border patrol standing there with automatic rifles I bet when a few warning shots were fired up in the air I bet because they knew the next shots would mow them down so they will stop when the actions they take that day can get them killed I bet ya they would not try our border again.. show them we mean bissness that they will start getting shot for trying our borders if they would just be people trying to cross our borders illegally you know what a couple of them get shot. I bet you slow down the temperature extremely do you know once you put your foot down. Show them that we mean bissness they would stop trying us and our borders.

Hahahaha nice! No more RATS crossing the border on my dollar!

Sent to another border crossing to seek asylum. And they will get it. Turdo will make sure of that. He ain't gonna give up on his voters list.

Good...about time. They can go to a regular border crossing.
