It is crazy to me. YouTubers on this platform have enough sense. \n\nAfter a few documentaries on colonialism, the erasure of indigenous , American corporate interference and the history of white supremacy on the land. You would be able to somewhat gather why people are coming to “America”. \n\nWhy is it that Ukraine ?? got amnesty FOR BUYING NUCLEAR WEAPONS, attempted migration THROUGH MEXICO ASWELL. Yet, no one was complaining about them. Indigenous people come over and they are criminalized and vilified with this surge of sheer surprise. \n\nVery spectacular.

I realize a lot of people do not understand the world. As first generation American, i can say, 90% of Americans do not cherish their freedom. As i see everything unfold, i realize we might be next to be taken over. I don’t know if y’all would flee or what. China and Russia aren’t using us currency so we can’t monitor their spending. It’s not rocket science to realize what they want.

If we had an immigration program where after passing a background anyone can join a roving us work immigration camp where for 5 years they’ll work and get free education afterwards so they can save and pick up american work and life culture. \nFor 5 years every new migrant will be building roads, laying water and electric lines and building homes and neighborhoods. This will bring cost of living way down here in the USA while doing a faster better job of Americanizing our newcomers. We would be able to rise our population level really fast without harming the American white picket fence dream. \nLastly the program won’t be available for just migrants, our own people can get guaranteed work if they would like to join the program.

Water cannon trucks would help … and nice big walls .. this is a disgrace .. then they come here with open hands .. we have Americans that need our help .. they need to live in there own country

I am Haitian American. Trust me, if Haiti was one of the best countries in the world. I would be very angry if a government just open its borders to let every unauthorized person in. I believe in law and order. So I don't look at white Americans as racists or anti immigrants if they stand against this. What's happening is very bad.

we can’t even find a home to buy that actually fits our family and our needs for less than 300k right now. and we make damn good money. and it’s still feelin hopeless and impossible. what the fuck. also idk how bad it is where they’re coming from but here is NOT the shining star it once was. this is one of the worst times in my lifetime to want to move to america and live the american dream. in my opinion. it’s aaaallll out of sorts right now. i wouldn’t even know where to start and it would take me days to list off the reasons.

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

Why aren't we helping them out to make their own country a better place to live? I would rather buy goods made in a South American country than China. Their our neighbors. Their not communist.

Even the Americans are struggling to survive ... like the rest of the world. \n\nThese Mexicans still believe in that myth about America being that land of plenty. \n\nWouldn't it be easier .. if Mexico now be part of America?!!! At least 1/4 of that country ... All Mexicans wanting to be ruled under America, please stand of that side ... Probably 80% of these Mexicans would.\n\nThank you Hollywood!!!

Americans are struggling with housing and finding jobs that pay enough to live in our own country on our own. Force these people to return back where they belong. Imagine if we let this happen and how many more would come to take over our country because it was that easy to get in

Venezuelans didn’t believe their country would go socialist, they went from one of the richest South American country to this. It can happen to any country, let’s not allow it to happen in the USA, Canada and others!

What would happen if Americans couldn’t cross borders either?

ICE became weak that why it happening and then Americans wanted Donald Trump president again. It be better if America just take over Mexico. China would't mind taking over Mexico.

I have no problem with people coming here but do it legally us Americans aren't tryin to keep paying for all of you and none of you pay your fare share of taxes yo for real what the fuck type time are these dems on you know how dangerous that is do you understand how easy it is for Chinese or Russian splinter cells to enter the country like that do you know how easy it would be for them to blend in seeing that we're a country of multiple races of of people none of you think about that do you and it time for America to worry about its own backyard and mind our fucking business and get politicians out-of-office that have personal ties with other countries as far as personal profit gain

I’m here to tell you if us Americans needed to seek refuge in another country not one would welcome us. Us taking in that many illegals and immagrants is absolutely crazy and nobody else would do it if they cared about their own country

If I was in their position I probably would be doing the same thing. However as an American on SSDI housing has become harder and harder to find now.

If another country was trying to invade the US the government would go to war. \nWhy is it so hard to put America and Americans First ? Trump 2024??????

This country is collapsing and fast and to take them in would be dangerous American lives come first!

Send them all back home..we don’t need anymore of them here damn..how would they like it if a bunch of Americans try to go over there to get handed everything..free housing, free medical, free food, free loans for school and business etc..they need to be focusing helping the American people first with housing, medical, food etc..inflation is hurting everyone right now and even before that the pandemic..

We as Americans couldn't just enter other countries like this because we would be shot and killed ???

Biden is allowing this insanity but, We would do the same thing if We were in their shoes ...right? The problem is really in countries, like Venezuela, their government is purposely starving their citizens ! We need to send all these American citezens that hate America and act like America is so terrible! Send all these liberal idiots that are always bashing this country

This is why we should allow our Americans to have guns.. registered. \nThey should have just let the bridge open with gunmen ready to shoot anyone who wants to take that long stretch of walk to death. Sure no one would have crossed.

We can't even get help from our own government. The only way Americans could get help with anything would be to give up citizenship leave the country then illegally come back in

I don’t understand why they wana come over here if all these folks don’t like Americans or America ?? stay where you are from make your own land good if these dumbass greedy politicians would just make an effort to actually help the world everyone help everyone the world would be a better place but noooo there’s destroy and hurt countries because of greed I don’t get it why we’d be way more prosperous everywhere in the world if they would just do that less stress less issues more help for all

Where the fuck is the National guard!!! All of you mofos know if tht was black Americans the National guard would be deployed! Do we have to take matters in our own hands! This is an invasion dont agree with me do something. Where are all the patriots.All of the tears are fake when others were crying we deployed the National Guard fuck tears bring the National Guard cry in your own country

My in law US veteran spend around 10 years dealing with Veterans Affair to get his retirement fullfill then last minute they demand him to take a drug test ; imagine in ten years been poor he would of end up doing. Illegal drugs to deal with PTSD. That is why a lot Americans or disappointed with immigration laws i am Mexican and i understand both sides but where is the fairness to the people average poor people from the US; definitely politicians are happy with this confusion

Thought it would be americans trying to get out......guess I was wrong....so far.

Americans can only talk and not do anything because already many Americans are immigrants themselves, so who would want to stop them? The US laws had serious loop holes. Biden ought to be fired!!!!!!!!!!! Congress is really sleeping........

The bigger question is that many people from other countries are in Mexico, like China, Africa and South America! Who paid for them to be there to get to the border and why is mexico doing it when they would put me, as an American in jail for entering illegally! Mexico will protect their northern border but since it is so corrupt, will turn the other way around from their southern!

That lady obviously thought all she had to do was say, Venezuela and she would be let into the US. Enough immigration. It should all come to a halt for at least the next 10 years. Biden and his Puppet Masters are responsible for this mess! Biden is not only letting them in but handing them EBT / WIC benefits as well as SSD Disability. I work as Cashier at “W” and I see it all day long. Meanwhile, American citizens, the elderly cannot afford to buy food for themselves and their pets.

bring out the American troops with all of their muscle! this s*** would stop

My friend is from Mexico who came to the US legally and has been a border officer for many years now. He has a very hard time telling Mexican migrants that they cannot enter the US illegally. But the law is law and it is the same if you enter Mexico. It's just a matter of Mexico doesn't have many opportunities for jobs that pays well and it's a better life in the US. I grew up with migrants all of my life. They worked 3 jobs for many hours per day but would rather have that than go back to Mexico - with no job. If Mexico had a flourishing economy, I feel migration isn't an issue. But then there's history - California belongs to Mexico but someone sold it to the Americans long ago.

What if the boarder guard start to shoot , then what ! Can’t try to over run and bombard people in their own country and if they over power the guards they can take their weapons, that definitely is not a good look ! There is a process that people have to follow and if the guard doesn’t stop them , then when would it stop because news travel fast and every other immigrants will head to that part of the boarder and rush in , can’t have all those people who have not been ID running a muck in the country because that would break down every day security because some of those people are criminals and others will turn into criminals just to be able to survive ! That is organized and orchestrated by the Republicans to embarrass , Biden government, that just showed that most republicans are not really patriots, they will break down the fiber of this country just to get their point across , they are using immigration to turn the American people against Biden government ! All that is happening because of Trump indictment ! Hmm ?

https://youtu.be/aBUiOFXZuKY?t=2460\n\nWhat’s more sad then these poor people running from the depravation the stagnation and danger of their countries is the innocent children like in the documentary listed above. Born into this world to be sold for spare body parts and used as sex slaves beginning at the age of 3 sometimes raped so brutally and purchased for this intent by a customer with The intention of raping the baby to literal death. I would give my own life to end those babies suffering and so would millions of others. It’s so sad that NOBODY is helping these children. The military is used to carry out crooked agendas for pervs who participate in such depravity. They spell out loud an clear and rummaged up irrefutable proof that Germany an the Netherlands specifically are allowing this volatile shit! Why can’t ppl with platforms put this info out there instead of stupid drama that draws more hate an division further isolating the innocent that are deserving an worthy of sharing our country. These women (most) and their sons & daughters are the victims not us. Everyone is quick to spout off entitled opinions about what we as Americans deserve, but Until everyone stands up to fight an demand a better life an equality for every human being and animal we will continue to see our reality turn into hell on earth.

Do these News anchors know or realize how bad Juarez is??? how inhumane you sound when you say that they should fix their problems in Mexico??? Mexico doesn't even care about fixing it's problems!!! I say seek a better life it's what any living American would do if America was anything like Mexico or Juarez believe that!!!

If Mexico would allow the American military to clean up the cartels this wouldn't be happening

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.

This is more about their perspective countries than it is about the US\nWe invite all that want to come UNDER THE LAWS SET for this country. We have a right to have standards. U may call that hipócrita bcuz “Then let them all in” well…..\nI think it goes w/o saying that is an impossibility if u want to people entering to fall under a certain type like non violent or fraudulent criminals\nSo many people in that vid would probably make fantastic Americans but peppered through that crowd of people in need of safety and a country that will help their cause are some who don’t have good intentions \nAmericans should look at each other as a patriotic family and the people we choose to enter should chosen in that light

Im not american, but bruh you want refuge and help yeah? Show some gratitude and line up properly\n\nShots should have been fired. 30 years ago we would have

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.

Treat them as you would enemy combatants attempting an invasion because that's what it is. These people don't want to become Americans they want welfare. They are scum.

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?

It would help if the people in Mexico would stop being such p**sies and would stand up to these a$$ holes in their country like when Americans stood up to the BRITs in my opinion yall enjoy the shit otherwise y’all be living the American dream pick up arms and fight, the cartel fight, your government stop coming into our country and ruining our country by taking home and jobs from people who earned that you didn’t earn shit you steal it

If our customs system would do their job's properly then this won't happen. America is built on Immigration, and also stealing of land from the real property owners the American Indians.

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

If an American citizen tried to enter Venezuela, like this, they would be thrown in jail or worse

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?)

Americans would be shot doing the same to another country. Where us ygr military? We need them there for this invasion why are they not protecting us? We have enough homeless.?

We have a process. Millions follow it. I see only a very horrible enforcement. Clean up venesueuela govt. They have resoutces. And if a honest govt people would stay. Its coming to mass warthog fly bys enforcing tge dmz. No one wants this! But one or two passes and over. Dont see this in other places. Put 1000 armed drones patrolling and just have a sit down with cartels who can stop this south. Their goal is sell americans dope and we already wink and look the othercway. The better we do the better they will andvthis is messing our economy. Not pushing dope etc but cats out of the bag aint going back so at least protect our borders. Putin could arm each of these invaders with bombs, poison etc andvthe damage they could do.... they dont love america. This is an invasion no different than WW2 . We could melt the border if we had the will. Freaky how weak usa is

Love canada, not violent Americans would shoot
