My work which is at a hotel just got a bunch of Puerto rican immigrants who are working and living at the hotel for free and they get paid and they treat all the other workers with disrespect and leave everything a mess and break rules constantly and can’t even talk to the managers and we’re all trying to be as understanding as we can be because I honestly can’t imagine going through immigration like that but still there’s no rules for them and meanwhile us other workers who are American and don’t get paid as much and don’t have the amenities that they do it’s just kind of a ridiculous situation in my opinion. There’s no structure or organization with it and it doesn’t make sense that we’re illegally transporting immigrants all over the us and giving them the free pass for most all things without even going through the legalization process. Like I can completely understand immigration and see nothing wrong with it when it’s done legally, but I don’t understand why we’re disregarding the people already in the long process of legally immigrating. I might just be very ignorant in the issue but that’s my personal take on the issue. It doesn’t make sense to me. I will say I have absolutely nothing against any person who’s an immigrant but just the rules and regulations surrounding the situation. I don’t mean to step on anyone’s toes or offend anyone.

Time to break out the guns an keep them out. This looks like a invasion not a boarder crossing ???

?? break in

Break out the bead grenades and pepper spray!!

Imagine people just break into your house, because this is a break in. Unacceptable !

We got stop give out free stuff America needs a break to regroup

that crazy the moment they start breaking and climbing start pepper balling the shit out them they will leave they get violent act accordingly people start dying they again will leave sad thing is that com back every day close the border and enforce the law period.

This looks like a Black Friday sale going on but nope. Just breaking into our country

So they're ditching a place where their people created havoc and chaos yet all of them want to escape to the u.s instead of creating a rebellion against their system lmao it's their fault that they all want to be comfortable and follow stupid rules knowing if they break those rules it would be a death sentence

If someone breaks into my house I can use force to stop it .. enough said

when you deploy the national guard against your own citizens but never foreigners breaking border boundaries

We are being invaded, by Mexico, and our leaders dont care!\nWouldn't be surprised to see armed conflict break out. Cartels are probably inciting this.

If they're already breaking the law to try and get in, what will they do once they're in here?

My heart breaks for people who are so desperate to try anything to have a better life. God help us

What would happen if the Venezuelans rioted and took THIER country back instead of breaking into ours

Canada needs these people who just. Want to work we are bringing Ukrainian by the thousands how many are looking for a job or just collecting free tax payer money sad give them a break

Take thier details then Turn them back to the USA and place them on a list of ineligible persons for already willfully breaking Canadian law. Apply t to all prior illegal entries as well.

We have too many hurting and abandoned Canadians living on the streets they're exposed to soo much, we are not a healthy country in terms of this record breaking homelessness and therefore should not be taking in illegals before taking care of our own citizen's. This has been happening way too long.

Just sadness, this breaks my heart, take away the scope of things and these are simple people looking for better lifes.

it's heart breaking

I see the harm in that border crossing when Roxham road was open it was dangerous and illegal, I don't see why Migrant reports and Human rights groups are upset about the closure it's keeping the migrants safe and that law will not break in Canada, and I Immigrated here legally 41 years ago from Persecution in Somalia. Those who sneak through the borders will break the law and those who come through the border will obey the laws in Canada. The new migrants have entitlements, thinking that the law doesn't apply to them because they are migrants.

Thats funny, If I as an American citizen break the law,especially a federal one, I go to prison!!WTF

I really feel for these folks but you need to do it the right way like all the other immigrants that came to America Land of the Free but you're not allowed to break in

Yeah once they cross the border they're starving they need something to drink so they go right up into people's homes and take what they want breaking in home invasions and God knows what else it's happened before what do you think a bunch of thousands of starving people are going to do mob mentality kicks in and complete chaos

That breaks my heart?, the poor father running with his baby. Only those who lived in a hard country before, knows how hard it’s to live in certain circumstances.

Straight bs while we suffer get taxed left and right on everything and just so people from another country can come break the law and not get punished instead they are getting free housing and benefits coming from our American tax money TRUMP 2024 and by the way I don't feel bad for them cause majority of the one I work with that are illegal are racist toward any American for no reason, yet their in our country for a better life.

This is so sad but we can’t break laws or there would be consequences..

I know what they are doing why don't they visit areas where young girls are being plied with alcohol and drugs passed around for rape and buggery etc culprits mainly Pakistani and Muslim's are involved surely all Muslims find this crime illegal and repulsive breaking the laws of the land you live in and Sharia law. imagine the positive impact this could have in Britain where alcohol and all sorts of crime is rife. If some sort of Sharia laws applied in these areas i believe it could work why not our own police is in disarray currently

Illegally crossing 2 borders criminals are so cool as long as they are breaking immigration laws!!!

Too many commentors believe these are just average folks living life and deciding one day to break the law.

SEND THEM BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY ILLEGALS BREAKING THE LAWS

We love, need and want skilled migrants.\nThese fence hoppers are leeches. Which is fine we have room for a fistfull of them too but in these numbers they are quickly overwhelming our welcoming capacity. What happens when services reach their limit? System breaks. Start picking out who starves?

Here too most people are filing STD LTD and those who work hard pay more taxes to support those people who are not in the workforce anymore . Hope govt will give tax break to people who chose to work

Those people helping can go to prison for that . I lived in Arizona for 5 years and if you help them . Giving one a glass of water is a federal crime well maybe not with Biden the people are breaking stop rewarding criminals

What pisses me off is when they're running to the border with big smiles on their faces knowing they're breaking the law....but why not?! It's not like either the US or Canada has any backbones!

Not everyone can just be considered an asylum seeekr bec of too much crimes in their countries. Grow up! Crimes happen evrywhere ieven in the USa. So if our attitude is just to let everyone come in for free to our country because their own governments are unable to fix their law and order problems, we are fkd as a nation. True asylum seekers were vicitms of war like vietnam war, Ukraine, Iraq, afghanistan (bec our own US govt caused all the strifes). African countries with civil wars. gang or drug crimes dont count because those are also our problems here in the US. If you work in a hospital like me, you will realize that the illegals crossing the borders (i think they have more sophisticated means now) bring their whole families including very sick ageing parents, disabled family members. And guess what, we are taking care of everyone of them more than our own citizens. I have no problem helping people but if our government shows more biases and leninency to the illegals more than the US citizens/legal residents, then I find that problematic. My heart breaks when the social worker would pressure me to discharge frail, sickly aging pts within nte 48 hour time frame bec medicare wont cover them and they are not eligible forrehab facilities as their status are observationinstead if inpatients while the non-citizens can just drop their chronically ill family members bec they cant take care if them as they are all working. They wont even claim them bec they are “busy”.\nThey can just do whatever they want as they dont have to worry about paying for hospital bills or have credit companies go after them. We are also taking care of their US born children but they are not paying taxes. Our co’untry is in the brink if bankruptcy bec of misplaced sympathy. If we really want to help these people, give them work visa so they can be legal and taxable, or better help their countries to help with drug wars, etc. We cannot sustain these kind of unconditional financial bleed for so long. Before we know it, the whole population outside the Us, have transplanted themselves here for free and without fiscal responsibilities.

i know it’s illegal but it breaks my heart because these people felt like they had no other choice

I don't care much for the country I live in, which country should I just go and break into just because I fancy a change? Which country will give me the most in return for me doing very little? Which country will welcome me with open arms and pay more in taxes just so I can take life easy from now on? Decisions decisions ?

Stop thinking that they can go to another country and think they deserve for free what a lot of citizens have paíd and worked for ! They just think they Can arrive and break another country law just because ! Instead of complaining about their countries, they should fight for better opportunities! Many of them have not had any issues or traumas , it’s just because they were told they will have everything for free without doing anything! And yes, I am latina and I live in central america and I do not think any country has to support and deal with foreigners before taking care of Its own people !

The level of entitlement is amazing, you don't get to break in others' ppl home, no matter what problems you have. This is unacceptable, and ppl should be ashamed.

So democrats expect Texas and other border states just to except migrants and be happy but if they send just 1 bus of migrants to their state all hell breaks loose. And look at liberal Canada they don’t want them either. They’re all fake compassionate

This breaks my heart...we all deserve better.

They think they run into country of hopes and dreams, they have no idea they run into land of darkness and loneliness while breaking back for $20000 a year and having nothing left in the end of the month.

If they breaking laws now but trying to force their way through ,, what you think they will do once they get over here ! This is down right disgraceful and if the republicans get in office ,,, they gone put a stop to this!

So would the camera crew follow bank robbers to film without calling authorities? Foreign nationals don't have a RIGHT to be in another and their insistence on breaking the laws to do it is disgusting and offensive.

Arrest them and set women free and tell them they are breaking the law

How sad! They've walked thousands of miles with the hope for a new life! \n I have no answer buy o do not blame those people nor hate hate them.\n This is heart breaking

Every single person that was in that crowd of people trying to bust their way through, should be permanently banned from ever entering the U.S.A.\nMy heart breaks for these people but you MUST follow our laws.

Canadian here.\n\nGo home. That is to say:\n\nNot my home. Come here legally, then we can break bread together.

Why not mention that the mayor of New York is supplying the ride to the border to break the law. In Canada, we have an imagination policy. How about the USA fixing your problem.
