I live in Canutillo, Texas, Suburb of El Paso. Migrants cross illegally on a daily basis. Are we going to have enough food and shelter for all of these people. Probably not! This is unfair for our homeless population. What about our veterans that have actually fought to defend this country? If we can't take care of our own problems, how can we take care of another countries problems. Who is vetting these people. No one. Canada only allows people who have a college degree. Should we do the same? Too many questions and no one can answer them. \n\nWe need a stronger Title 42

They need to pass an amendment that they get no welfare, free housing, or medical insurance. They’re not entitled to enter or receive anything from Americans and they’ll pass 7&8 countries when they’re supposed to go to the first country they come to. People should come in legally not just think they can invade illegally. There’s no way they can vet all these people and this president is endangering Americans. Also we don’t want America looking like a slum.

What a mess! What do they want here? Nothing left in the U.S. Oh, that's right election 2024. Biden needs illegal votes.

Imagine if these people rushed their government buildings and law offices like this: they wouldn’t need to illegally cross borders and flee their homes, if they did.

we need to catch people that sell these dumb migrants the idea that america will be amazing for them.\nbecause it is not amazing. majority of illegals will just live on the streets and have a horrible life when compared to their situation in south america where they at least had a home and so forth.

We need real soldiers, Venezuela needs to be sanctioned for this behavior, we are not allowed to invade any country illegally. This is violence and imagine how violent they will be when they get into the US.\nUnbelievable, and totally unconstitutional.

They want free medical, housing, food and money which drains the resources that were put in place for American citizens who may need it temporarily. Our tax dollars should not be used on these ILLEGAL ALIENS!!! WE HAVE HOMELESS VETERANS AND AMERICAN CITIZENS who need those resources.

We need to step it up. Unmanned drones, land mines. American border security should be synonymous to fot knox. To my knowledge not many people have died trying to get in there illegally, because no one is stupid enough to try

If you don't say that we should bring everyone of those people in here and put them in a hotel and pay for thier food and shelter your a freaking racist. I swear I mean take the shirt off your back america I mean off the backs of the homeless vets. I mean what the hell did they ever do for this country. I mean these people are willing to jump through barbed wire to get free well everything what did anyone here do to deserve anything here. ? I mean they are going to pay so many taxes I'm sure it will probably balance the budget and America won't default and continue to fall into a recession. I mean what we need is hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of undocumented people here eating our taxpayers dollars. Cmon isn't that the American way. Work hard all your life to give it away to some illegal who came here. Nothing makes me more proud than watching the govt take all my shit and give it to people who are really worthy of it. Who come from countries where thier govt makes it almost impossible to live so I would happily give all my material possession away to help like 9 or 10 Mexicans. Granted my house burnt down last week but the shirt on my back it's all yours I don't even need it in most states and local convience stores below the state of Virginia. What we need in this country is voters too. I mean all the people who died of covid who's going to fill the voter polls if the democrats don't give these refugees a free life. I'm certainly not going to sit around and let the govt tell us that we need a wall to stop anyone from going anywhere. I mean walls. They are just going to hop and a boat and come right over. Granted you may have to go through customs but that's what I'm saying you need to be able to go and do what ever you want in any country at anytime. Who's to tell me where I can and can't roam on planet earth and what govt agencies will or will not provide me with care for my unborn child. We need a revolution and it start with walls. I'm going to start with my bedroom wall. And work my way up the ladder. I say no to all walls. Even the ones in swimming pools. I say if your a red blooded patriotic American you need to start planning a trip to the border to tear down that exist racist wall that is keeping those south Americans, Chinese, Russian, and Romanian refugees from coming here with ease. The cartel may not be happy with this but we need to make sure that every person from any country no matter what the situation can freely cross any border at any time. It only makes sense.

Illegal entry is illegal in any OTHER countries. Why do a lot of Americans pity them and want to accept them when we can’t even support our own homeless families, young kids without parents… America is suffering so much rn. No reason to pity them. We need to take care of our ppl first period. The first needs to be handled within their OWN GOVERNMENT. Don’t waste our tax, power and energy of our soldiers or cops. Seriously, help our kids in need, teachers, whoever needs help in AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic!! A start to a great future with these illegal immigrants running amuck. Need a second job so i can pay extra taxes.

Biden america need their illegal votes

everyone of them law braking illegals need to be firehosed with pepperspray!

We just had some illegal immigrant from MS13 murder and completely dismember a door dash delivery driver where i live. And now were letting more of the people from the worst places into our county. Americans have become so accepting and open minded that their brains have literally fallen out of their heads... We are self destructing at this point. We've had enough acceptance we've taken in more immigrants than any other country on Earth. Let them go somewhere else anywhere but here.?‍? America is maxed out on poor uneducated people we don't need any more.

We literally need to mobilize police and army actually go by the law close the border with massive force and deport millions of illegals that have already got through the border illegally over the last decade this is ridiculous.

This is what Dominican Republic has to deal with every day with Haiti , but alot of people in media want to call us racist and protecting our borders too. Every country should be able to protect their people and nation. Currently we have a population of 10million around 4.5 million are legal and illegal hatians from what is on record, that's not even counting those who are not on record. In a few years I see war again for my people because the agenda the UN is pushing is to leave us to help haiti forever which we will not due and its impossible, we are also historic enemies to top it off. Just because you as a migrant can't get into a country doesn't mean you have the right to now bash the other country for it, they are protecting what is there's just like we all do. How can this be fixed? Well the migrants need to stay In their OWN country and fight for their rights!

We need better immigration policy. These illegal swarms are unsafe. Build a wall to protect the border from illegal crossing, make people cross at ports, streamline deportation and asylum requests and staff up the courts.

What makes these scum think they have the right to illegally invade another country....Biden needs to be put on a rope !!

Sad they’ll come over illegally, I do get why though since their country is complete ?. We don’t need any more illegals and alllll the stuff they are bringing over with them. They need to get this crap figured out. So stupid. Biden is screwing the US over. He needs OUT ASAP

This is an invasion in my eyes. I’ve been saying it for years. Shut down all boarder entries for 5/10 years. Nobody is allowed in legally or illegally. We can’t help others if we can’t help ourselves. We don’t need a constant flow of new citizens. All they are is a vote to a particular group.

Umm how do we know if they have been vaccinated for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Polio, Smallpox, Malaria, Coronavirus and screened for Tuberculosis? They could be bringing in all kinds of viral airborne diseases into the USA they need to go through medical screening ASAP before babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, young adults, and the elderly are exposed to these viral air borne diseases and could possibly die along with these people that have entered illegally. If our senate, congress, governors, or the president is not going to do anything to address this possible pandemic ? that can occur due to lack of security and health screenings then why do we even have a border? Let’s just ??INVADE ??SOUTH AMERICA ?? = everything south of the ??USA ?? becomes?? USA ?? no borders and our military bases can expand all along the shores or South America and the oil and gold and uranium in South America ?? belongs to the ?? USA ?? then USA ?? citizens can have mansions build in Brazil and Argentina and Chile and Mexico and everyone living in those countries would have jobs Amazon, Google, Facebook, Nordstrom’s, Sak’s, Bank of America ?? then this rushing the border would not be happening because they all would be ??USA ??Citizens ??with all their taxes going to the ??USA ?? government ??the ??USA??does not need Trump to be Great! The?? USA ?? is and has Always been a GREAT NATION ONE UNDER GOD and UNITED. These extra countries could be broken into mini states and we can hold fair elections for people to be voted ?️ into office.

I’m truly sorry there are tears because these people have come a long way and were lead to believe—due to the liberal open-border policies of the current U.S. regime—that their border crossing experience was assured, that it was in fact a done deal … and further, that they would be showered with free lodging, free food and medical care, baby formula, new phones, and a monthly stipend … JUST for crossing into the United States illegally. That Joe Biden —who doesn’t even acknowledge all of his OWN grandchildren—was somehow (because it’s true if you believe it, right?) their long-lost and hitherto unknown grandfather, their abuelo and dispenser of largesse, wide smiles, and hair-sniffs.\n Why did he throw his arms wide and ask you to come hither, then, if he didn’t really want you to come in once you got here?\nPerhaps the capriciousness of old age, of ?dementia, of the intense pressures of ill-gotten high office and a forced recognition of the tears of those whose families have fallen prey to the criminal element ever-present among border-crossers?\n Why? You want MORE reasons? \nBecause the man needs VOTES and the country needs extreme disruption (as well as the impoverishment of existing social programs of Americans who will NOT vote for him) in order to increase his own brand of “law” enforcement martially throughout the nation and he’s gotta PREPARE—y’know? \n I am certain of Joe Biden’s sorrow that you were inconvenienced. After all, you did feel it was your “right” to get in, and a few short weeks ago Joe would have agreed with you. But timing is everything in this current business of dirty politicking and unfortunately you missed the unannounced cut-off. Anyway, this is President Biden’s own way of establishing what he likes to call “equity,” and isn’t it beautiful? Again, the President would like to convey his sympathies for your present inconvenience, and if you are ever in the area again in the future, please attempt to stop by. Perhaps at that time it will be a more propitious moment to receive you properly. \n Bye, now. Do remember that Kamala and Joe love you. Be safe!

American Citizens are now 2nd class compare to Illegal immigrants who stay in hotels in NYC costing thousands for days but the black Latino and white citizens need to share a filty shelter...... ?????\n\nSure I really feel bad for this people but then I need to leave my children outside so some unknown needy person can come into my home, get shelter and then DEMAND PRIVILEGES that should only be for Americans?\n\nAmericans first ...... then if we can, we can help out others but our family first 1,000% and that is no racist or inhuman, that is just how any family would do it.....????

My neighbors are illegal immigrants with 7 cars. I wonder how many Americans can’t find housing because of them. They need to go back.

My concern is that they leave their country coming in to our country illegally. We will become a Third World country. We will become a Third World country because we can no longer support the amount of people flowing into this country. We’ve got homeless people here we’ve got people living in their cars we got people on the street. We don’t have anything to offer these people. Now we need to take care of America first we really do we cannot police the world, we’ve got to take care of our backyard before we start taking care of other peoples

They come here illegally and take our jobs, don’t pay taxes, commit crimes, and act like we owe them something. This is outrageous. They need to bring out the rubber bullets on these lunatics

Majority of Hispanics don’t understand this is a major problem. If the population is growing in the US. Inflation will rise. Housing, food, gas etc. We need to deport as many illegals as we can because legal immigrants deserve the right in America legally. Also, problem with these illegal Hispanics is they don’t even attempt to learn or study English and always raise their country’s flag rather than the American flag. I’ve seen this too much. We also have a problem with Americans here. Mostly black Americans. They’re extremely lazy, having a lot of babies, use drugs, loot, lie and break in. They are over privileged and always play the victim. This kind of problem leads to our taxes going to then as well.

Need a special presidential election in 2023. Americans are having a hard time, not illegals. There is no white privilege. Look at the illegals. Staying at 5 star hotel and want more? Selfish illegals. Let's wake up America.

Need some 150 round mags in an LMG. You commit illegal activity, you pay the consequences. People break into businesses and die for it, so why wouldn’t they be killed for breaking into a COUNTRY. If you insist on forcing your way in, instead of going through legal processing; you deserve what’s coming to you.

The fact that we have a homelessness crisis is enough justification to send them all packing. We need to fix our own issues before people who come here illegally thinking everything is free in America, come here with their own issues.

This is crazy. We have too many illegals, already in our country. The borders need to be closed. We can not sustain the invasion.

We need to stop letting in illegals, only migrants that apply LEGALLY!

Thank the Democrats for letting this happen. We cannot support the people we have now so how are these people going to get the help they need? I guess these liberal cities can keep taking them in since it's their policies letting it happen. I guess if these cities get tired of footing the bill maybe they will stand up and say something to their leaders and tell them enough is enough. They don't want the wall they don't want to give the ice agents and border patrol the help they need and they keep blaming Americans for their stupid policies but they sure will bring in hundreds of IRS agents to take your money and arrest you if they don't think you're paying what they deem acceptable. I think most Americans are sick of this administration and want it gone. Their giving more rights to illegals and other countries than the people who live here. This administration is going after the rights and freedoms of all Americans and trying to turn the Constitution into some old document that doesn't have any relevance in today's world. They're pushing more and more communistic laws through our government to strip Americans of their rights. People need to wake up and see that this administration doesn't give a damn about you or this country.

It’s ridiculous how they now feel so entitled to enter our country illegally while Americans are struggling to buy food, get housing. This has to stop. We need the National Guard out there to protect us from this invasion.

Listen if we don’t do something about this our dream land soon will became a third world country us as Americans we need to come together and stop this illegal activity on my eyes ? everyone is welcome to America to enter but the legal way why those people don’t do the same with their own government they coming from smh nyc is soon to become a third world country city because this bs my point is USA need to be republicans no matter what God I miss president trump

Don’t the guards have guns. It would seem to me this is illegal and should be stopped by force if needed. This is no way to have a border. It will destroy this country which is already in decline.

What the bleeding hearts fail to see or understand is these people do not speak English, they do not have a grade 3 education - they can not compete in the job market in the USA because they do not have the skills needed to qualify...\nBy allowing in illegals and encouraging this behavior, we are making criminals out of every one of them...\nJust what do you think will happen when they can not find a job? They still have to survive!! \nBy allowing them entry to an open market they have not the skills to be a part of, we are making criminals out of everyone of them.\nIt's a known fact people revert to the skills they have to make ends meet...\nIt's not a kindness, it's a death trap or jail sentence which costs tax payers money...when will the bleeding hearts ever learn?

If the us stop coups then they wont empoverish Latin America.. So no need for illegal migration

Why haven't we done anything yet on the right side has gone as far as burning down buildings and constantly charging a former president not giving up we just run to the comment section. This right here is in fucking invasion it does not matter who or what is trying to illegally get through our border it's just that part right there illegally get through our border that is invading Invasion why are we not at War right this second I am so freaking sorry I'm so sorry probably thousands of wonderful people in that group but we need to stop them that is an invasion I know it sounds horrible but just look up invasion you look up logs illegal and how it would wreck our country that would damage us that's what you do at War you try to damage the other country

Shoot in the air and they will scatter.... u just got to scare them real good... we got enough problems in america.... fix this place first.... my biological father is illegal and shit if we need space im willing to send him back ?

The town I live in and grew up in when I was in school. We only had one campus, now here we are 18 years later and my one high school now has 4 different campuses to compensate for the amount of illegals that have overtaken my town. I have no prejudice whatsoever towards these people but they need to do things the right way and become real taxpaying citizens. Meaning going about gaining entry to this country and having a life here the legal way. You want to be here? That's fine welcome to the USA but just do it the right way is all we are asking you're not paying taxes. You're not putting back into the communities. And more than half of them that come here end up breaking the law and becoming criminals and the other half are already criminals. This country's being running to the ground.

We need to finish the wall then deport every last one of them who came here illegally

This is what gives them a bad name! We don't even have enough jobs for us citizens. Our disabled can't even get disability or help yet they will come here illegally, get jobs we could use, n get welfare, disability, n anything else they can get for free while real citizens suffer. We should arrest them all n ban everyone who tried to come in illegally from ever being able to enter. We don't need more unruly, beggar pple comi g into this country. We are tired of supporting illegals. The best thing trump did was start building the wall. The worst thing he did was no finish it. They don't want us coming illegally into their country so USA citizens should give them a taste of their own meds. So many of us are tired of illegals coming in so we can support them while they commit a high percentage of the crime in the USA. I think we should use whatever force needed to keep these pple out! These pple are rioting n violent.....get them out!!!!! ?

We need to put remote automatic machine guns at the boarder to fix this. Stop ppl from illegally crossing our boarders.

Man, I really do love everyone who is currently in office for our government at the moment. I just love letting any & everyone into our country, not to mention the cost of groceries & gas is amazing too! I absolutely love paying almost $7.00 just for a gallon of milk. It also just makes me think about such better times that were...... I don't know, like three fucking years ago! When the average American could afford to buy groceries & gas, and any other essential as needed. \n\nNow we will find housing for all of the people illegally entering our country, while we have more than enough Veterans sleeping on the street, & not to mention that 22 Veterans a day kill them selves on average. But MS-13 gang member and Mexican Cartel members deserve a nice place to live, hopefully they don't cut off anyone's head during their stay! ?\n\nBut, anyways....This current regime deserves nothing but praise! Thank you, Democrats, seriously thank the Fuck out of you people!!!?

As a Canadian I find this utterly terrible. These migrants will either add to the chaos of the mass housing crisis, crime and antisocial behaviour Stateside which will ultimately spill onto Canadian borders. We just shut down Roxham road a few weeks ago yet these ILLEGAL ALIANS KEEP CLIMBING ACROSS CANADA US BORDER. CANADIANS AND AMERICANS NEED TO UNITE TO KICK THESE MIGRANTS BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM. WE DONT HAVE HOUSING OR THE SOCIAL ASSISTANCE THEY REQUIRE AND WE DO NOT WANT THEM AS ILLEGALS. IF THEY WANT ENTRY APPLY LIKE NORMAL HUMANS AND STOP ACTING LIKE RATS. IM TIRED OF THESE REFUGEES COMING INTO CANADA TAKING UP ALL MY TAX MONEY YET I, A CANADIAN BORN WHOS FAMILY IMMIGRATED PROPERLY INTO THIS COUNTRY IN THE 1940 HAS TO SUFFER AND TAKE HOME LESS THAN HALF OUR PAY CAUSE TAXES EAT THE REST THAT GO TO THESE IDIOTIC MIGRANTS. I HATE THEM.

this is when military should be at the border...they know what they're doing is illegal and and it needs to be addressed as an invasion

This country needs to stop all the illegal immigration that's going on. It's putting a strain on things causing a lot of bad repercussions

Whereas 3rd world Asian citizens who legally apply for visa are always being denied even if they’ve shown bits and pieces of their soul because of all the requirements apart from the fees needed to be paid for the visa. The US, Canada and Europe are so much kinder to illegals regardless of how poor these illegals’ circumstances are.

This has to stop Joe Biden Anne Harris in his administration needs to be held accountable for this Joe Budden started this why will they not hold him for all this I can't afford it anymore my taxes have gone up because of Joe Biden spending money giving away money to Ukraine and all these illegal immigrants get free checks and free health insurance I have to pay out $380 a month for my insurance when is the Republican going to hold him for this disaster angry at Joe Biden bring back President Donald Trump
