It’s interesting watching the superpower of the last century slowly erode before our eyes. I read about the decline of the western Roman Empire and how over the course of give or take 150 years it eventually fell. But Americas fall seems to be happening much faster. I don’t see how you could claim America will still be the leading superpower in 50 years with the way things are going

Wtf hell nahhhh get the hell out of here if we tried that crap to Venezuela, any other country, America’s will be detained and placed in prison who do they think they are all these migrants coming over here, rushing into our United States like if all of us want to work to take care of them get the heck out of here with that craziness!!!! if we try to run into another country, that shit is dead I don’t see why we don’t do the same thing we don’t got the money and the taxes to be paying to put these people in prison…nor do we want them here. \nMigration is the Trojan horse in America that’s what’s going on they trying to overpopulate us and distinguish our finances to kill our country and our economy

Venezuelan people are going to be a heavy burden to the US, these people are the worse in all Latin America, please do not allow them into the country please !! ?????????????

Research show Mexicans was here in America when the Indians had it in the Mexicans had some states here as well.And what ever is going on there in Mexico with government is the reason they trying to leave Mexico .

If these people in South America don't like what's going on in their own land, they need to vote out the trash and petition for change. Invading another country solves none of this.

Don’t these people know that America is full of white supremacists? And there’s no way that there’s no hope for a future? They’re going to be oppressed and not given equal opportunity to the white supremacists?

Wait so Americans are fine with them illegal going to a country for a better life but they absolutely hate any one who does the same thing to America sounds about right

In 1492 before invader's came here they're was no borders for thousands of years. Y'all want to keep the natives of this country out of their own country no matter where they wanted to go freely like it was before y'all showed up.. y'all want to set up borders and say no you can't come here no more even though you have been for the past thousands of years. The genocide natives of the Americas you're not keeping them out . They're going to keep coming

My best friend started her immigration process in 2017. She was finally green lit to come to America in 2019 after marrying her long time husband over in Europe and then getting the paperwork done here in the US during that time Covid hit, and when they closed all the borders, they stopped all of the immigration process to America meaning that she was stuck in Europe away from her husband for three years. Finally last year after making her go back through the process getting all of her paperwork re-done, paying another $5000 she was able to come to the US just last month she got the start of her paperwork for her green card to work here in the US and become a full US citizen. It’s been a long process. It infuriates me that people like that who are honest, hard-working people who want to come to the US and start a life after being married, proven to have jobs and want to pay taxes and support a system. That’s willing to take them in get held up because of people like this want to come here illegally Big cause of whatever the reasons are trying to circumvent and skip over the people who are trying their hardest to do it the right way in the first place, dust dragging the system further down.

America is going to be a dumpster fire ....

Stop letting these ppl in this is ridiculous already our country is going to shit as it stop trying to house these random ppl from every where and the Americans that need it, look how much the respect our country that they’re willing to invade it cause they can’t have it there way enough is enough these people coming to America living better than most Americans

This is the thing guys we are have the highest inflation ever in at least five decades, we have poor American citizens living on the streets homeless and with no food, we are going into the biggest recession in united states of America has ever seen since 2008, we have the highest interest rates in many years that we have ever seen and a lot of people are going to lose their jobs in the next at least 18 months, we have the worse health care system and people are getting sick and dying. \nTimes have changed unfortunately and this is year 2023, not 500 or 300 or 100 or even 50 years ago and there is no comparison.\nWe need to close our borders and take care of our own united states of America citizen first.\nLet's stop sending trillions of dollars in cash to other foreign countries like Ukraine and letting people illegally in our country. ?

Go bk to Venezuela .u Kam to America and who do u think will develope Venezuela ..lazy people...go bk n develope ur country

Then just make mexico an american country if they want to invade your america country simple as that i mean a bloodshed will be unleashed but you know they want to go to other countries illegaly then do that

They say immigrants take advantage of America but it’s Americans that take advantage of immigrants paying them low wages and work all day with minimum breaks and mandatory overtime but with straight pay not time and a half or benefits cus they know that they’re undocumented and can’t go to the labor board and say anything so who’s really using who ?

Is America suddenly short of bullets? Every western state needs to defend its border to hold back the Communism that is going to sweep in once the west is weakened enough.

GO MIGRANTS GO!! WE ❤ ALL MIGRANTS in America!!! Most of us don't care how you get into our country, just come anyway you can and start living the good life and live the American dream!!!

We have the same problem here in England . We do t want them here anymore as we can not afford them, and they need to all go home. It is sad to see, but they need to go back home. It's not going g to stop unless America puts a huge electricity trick fence up.

Damn bro AMERICA is going to shit and in Latino but I came here with a visa and did everything the legal way but seeing this is just crazy ag

America what is going on with you where are you going and what are you doing to yourself

America is going under and they want to come here to make sure we drown ! \nI think it’s time for the patriots to start

Our President invited all of this into our country! You didn't see President Trump inviting others to come take advantage of America. I blame this all on the Leftist lawmakers. This would not have happened if Trump were in office. This should have never happened. Can you even freaking imagine how well we could be doing now if we hadn't had that BS poisoning from our alleged President. Until our borders are shutdown, this is going to continue. They were invited...

Let these people come through and put them on welfare automatic and help Europe but can’t even help us ndn people in America and when war starts want us to go fight your war

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.

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

?lets go yes this is are country fuck white america

Anyone watching this video that can still vote for a Democrat has got to be out of their damn minds, do United States of America cannot support all of these millions of illegals coming into this country, we can’t even take care of the homeless vets in this United States of America. There is no way of telling how many terrorists are in that mob coming into the United States or how many have already come in to the United States. I am afraid in another year or two you are going to start seeing airplanes falling out of the sky due to terrorist activity, we’re already having four and five train derailment mysteriously cutting off food and fuel going to need it places. You can thank Joe Biden and his woke Democrats for all of this mess

To all of you that just want to let them in.. America is hurting right now.. it’s both the left and rights fault.. to let these people in would be reckless and only hurt ourselves even more. Where will these people go ?? California?? Look there homeless population it’s up 20% from last year.. wtf do you think is going to happen.

They are not trying to stay in America they're trying to go through America to Canada. America is not the great no more.

This is called espionage. You people still think Biden is helping america? Someone payed him off to slowly destroy this country... The last 23 years or so has been pretty noticeable on mass corruption and greed. And the crimes the rich commit.....like we see the pattern... It is slapping us in the face everyday we put our shackles on go to our plantation and literally are only making enough to stay alive. You need a car to get to work, you need an address to get payed, you need insurance on that car, gas, oil, upkeep. It's systemic slavery. And I'm going to destroy everyone with this next sentence. Most of us will be dead soon, thanks corruption.

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.

America was not my parents first choice. They wanted to go to England or Australia however, the country that ruins your country, that’s where you end up in.

Why doesn’t the USA just go ahead and take over the entire country of Mexico? Or hell, all the way down to the Panama Canal would be even better for America, so much more land for farms, we can control the drugs again, and dammit, Mexicans are hard workers and loyal asf

lol In this comment section the same debate is going on as in europe right now.... the only difference is that in Europe we are being flooded by Africans and Arabs and not by South Americans.\n\nDefend your borders with all means!\n\nI hope that this madness will soon come to an end for us in Europe and for you in America.

Americas legality issues don’t apply when your risking it all to flee from death. When your livelihood is threatened, deprived or void you’ll do anything to survive. So, for understandable reasons they should enter legally, but who wouldn’t rush everything when there’s nothing left to go back to?

Didn’t get what they want in America, so let’s go trash, plunder and mooch from Canada.

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

I blame large American companies that go to South America and destroy there land and there economy \nIn Guatemala they make less then then 9 dollars a day ?

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.

I feel for them. I really do but where are they gonna go? People are struggling to find places to live who were born here plus all the homeless population. Where do these people think they’re gonna go? I know if I were born in a third world country I’d be wanting to get into America as well so it’s just sad all around to see

America is going to end up a state of Mexico.

I am latino and i hate how people would rather risk dying to get to country where they are not wanted and will be discriminated against even if they did go through the system correctly. Why not use that courage/bravery to fight your countries tyranny. I would rather die in the country that i was born in then to fight for a country that is divided and very prejudice against others. Also it sucks that lot of latino migrants are usually from southern latin America and they will try to tie them to Mexicans. Most of these people arent Mexican and trust me Mexicans are also somewhat conservative and have tried to tell migrants to not try this.

Canada's not stupid like the United States they are not just going to let people enter their country an roam free illegally, Canada's won't even let you in their country if you are a United States citizen that owes child support in America, they have control over their border unlike the United States which is sad for the most rich an powerful country in the world but can't control its borders.

America is no better for them any more. Looking at this should spook Americans why? Because when America falls we have no where to go.

Makes me wanna strap up and go to the border my damn self and stop them. America is not a free for all! We bust our asses for what we got and then yall think yall can just come here and get free everything? Hell naw. Go back and make ur country LIVEABLE!

Why the hell they want to come to the USA? They can go to China and Russia. The amount of people America help around the world is ridiculous. Since China and Russia think they are in superpower, they should take migrants and help billions $$ to countries not loan trap by China and screwing up nations like Srilanka and Pakistan. They call it American hegemony, in fact they are creating Chinese hegemony. Pathetic hypocrites Chinese and Russian dictators. They have no shame to kill their own citizens and you think they even care about the world.

Keep these illegals out ! Go throw our processes correctly and you might be let in our great county and that’s just how it is. America has the right to reject anyone not born on this soil !

Gun's will stop them. Come to America legally. Nobody seems to be invading other countries! We have enough homeless already here that the government doesn't help and yet the government is going to help illegals

Thank god everyone thinks these are Mexicans doing this and not checking these are also illegals just from South America going through Mexico! Let’s keep being ignorant

What’s going on across the border that so many came rushing at once?? Ya know America has poked there nose in places they had no business poking it, maybe they should poke their nose to our neighbors in the south and address the inhumanities that go on there. With half the world hating America we could certainly use more allies.
