We need to take care of our own, but my heart also breaks for them. It is a rock and a hard place.

We have jatas many problems here. We have homeless people and hungry ppl. When they get here the need to feed an house them takes president over natural citizens and that is not right. We don't have the room or resources.

You can thank the people who voted for the left , the democrats and Biden for this. For the all time high drugs flowing into the country , crime at a staggering all time high , wasting billions of hard earned tax dollars and leaving it to our enemy’s in the form of military equipment , stopping us from being self sufficient in oil production which everyone needs to live for heat, food, transportation, and economic gain and so much more. trying to take away the rights of its citizens and turn what was once a great country into a horrible place to live-they can’t win the next election constitutionally so they do it illegally. Everything is being taken away and so much damage has been done because of it.

I don't agree with open borders. we need to take care of our own 1st but I can't help but feel pain about this.. all these people don't even have bags with them. I couldn't imagine how bad it must be to leave my home with only the clothes I have on in hopes for a better life... \nI honestly don't have the answer but our world is so messed up... so sad ....

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.

We need to take care of AMERICANS first, sorry migrants.

They need to Take care of there on Problems. No you can't Just Walk in Our Country And Take over .Send National Guards to STOP this we tired of Paying For these Damn People with our Tax Money ..NO We Have to Take care of Our Own People Only in America ..If that was another Country they would have been Locked up and Killed

they need to stay and fight their government to take it back from the corruption not flee from it

Halirious. Imagine breaking into a country that cant even take care of its own people. We care about giving 5 year olds sex operations, we care about tax breaks for million dollar corporations. But refuse to take care of vets. Refuse to help those that truly need it. Care about race when people are starving. Now we have millions of immigrants with nowhere to go nothing to eat. Leads to crime. God bless usa...complete joke

What really needs to happen\nUsa NEEDS TO TAKE OVER\nMEXICO

All governments need to come together and sort out this mass migration issue. If leaders could take decisive action to fix their countries issues such as corruption then we wouldn't have this happening in Europe and the US.

They dont have to swarm simply just walk up the fence sit and wait they will pick you up (free) feed you (free) and start a law prosedure that will take between 6 to 10 years meanwhile you work azls much as you can off the books while getting that sweet western union points. You know, also tell them they dont need a real story for asylum do what everyone does make up a story and make up some evidence (doesnt have to be actual evidence support your case and 90 percent of the time it works.

Behaving in this manner shows how they will behave in the U.S.\nIt is not our responsibility to house and take care of illegal immigrants from any country. We have veterans and U.S. citizens that need help first and foremost. They are our responsibility not these people.

This is horrible we cannot even take care of our own USA citizens. They need to fight for their own country..We cannot take care of everyone..Iam sad for all of these people, they need to stay home elect candidates that will take care of their country..Our President and his crooks are ruining this country ...

WE NEED THAT WALL. THESE IMMIGRANTS ARE TAKING AMERICA AWAY FROM US AND DESTROYING IT!!!

If someone wants to come to the U.S., do it legally. Don't come here as an illegal, and find some loophole to stay here, undocumented and use resources & benefits meant for Americans & LEGAL immigrants. Because there's nothing left to take care of those who really need and deserve it.

This is ridiculous. I consider myself an independant cuz I agree with certain things on both sides but on immigration I lean republican\n\nThis country is the only country ppl do this in. Y do everyone wanna come to the USA. We gotta do something and I actually agreed with putting up a wall or some sort of stable barrier. Either come here legally or stay where you're at. I'm from the Caribbean and had to wait 7years for my greencard after filing and came here legally and these ppl just wanna rush our borders illegally. And I get your country is inhumane and sucks but we can't take in everyone who lives in a country that sucks\n\nWe have a huge homeless problem in this country and this will only add to it, not to mention these ppl can't work here and will probably go on welfare which puts more strain on the system and the taxpayers. We need to take care of our own b4 taking care of others. Why dont these ppl go rush canadas borders or go to mexico or somewhere else. This angers me

Over 300,000 homeless veterans wander the streets searching for food and shelter currently. Dying at an estimated rate of 22 a day due to self inflicted harm….the system in place to take care of them and provide comprehensive medical care is crippled and broken….every SINGLE ONE of these men and women has a head full of bad memories and experiences from defending their country in war (some missing limbs)….can’t hold a job and have trouble finding a job….NOONE is making substantial and reinforced efforts to care for these brave men and women. Yet, if you cross that border illegally you’re given shelter (free stay at 5star hotels in NYC sound nice)…comprehensive medical care…food stamps and even job placement for some. And in some cases, we’re providing that help to individuals who are simply making a pit stop between Mexico and Canada because it’s better for them there according to some. Frankly, we have enough issues that are swallowing us whole and need to focus on building up and caring for our own citizens and force stop mass migration, strongly enforce deportation as well as employing more case workers to help with legal immigration process. We spend all this money sending to Ukraine and yet here we are, cutting our own throats to save someone else’s hand. I have no issue with legal immigration and asylum but you need to go through the process like those before you. I know this is asking a lot but it IS possibly to make it work

Americans are poor and overwhelmed. We don't need all these people coming over here taking jobs in benefits that we need. If it was me I'd have to automated Gatling guns on that bridge. Its not right to do this to our country. So die.

If these people can do this in large numbers, why aren't they doing this exact same thing in this way, maybe larger numbers, to take their own country back? It's bad enough we have our own issues in this country to contend with in the same manner or similar. We do not need nor want this! If they can do this, they can do this to get their own country back.

Stop voting Democrat we need to help our own people we’re drowning we can’t take anymore we’re drowning

My heart goes out to the American people. You have taken in millions of people over the years into your country. So much so that it has placed a strain on your country and it’s people. You have enough homeless in your own country. You need to fix your own problems before you guys take on the problems of other countries.

This is deplorable and it’s going to destroy our country in so many ways. First, our social, educational, and criminal systems cannot absorb this many people all at once. We have enough people immigrating here legally. We don’t need all these illegals flooding over.\nThis is all Joe Biden and the Democrats’ fault, for not doing anything for two-plus years, except inviting these people to come here. These people get benefits, free healthcare, welfare probably, phones, and they shouldn’t. They should be told to go home. They should not be given a court date and then released into the United States! That’s ridiculous. They should be loaded on a C-130 transport, retrofitted with seats and shipped home. The majority of them are not going to show up for their court date. They’re going to disappear into the United States, work under the table, take jobs away from Americans, and send billions of more dollars back to their home country where they have family. I think currently, $250 billion gets sucked out of the US economy every year, due to illegal immigrants all sending $50 each, per month, home to their families in their native country. That money should be being spent here.\nLastly, all these illegals and the “anchor babies” they are going to have here, and the descendants of those babies, are all going to vote Democrat in the future, because of this lawlessness. Then we’ll have one-party rule in this country. That will destroy the country. It’ll be a socialist dictatorship, which is not good. The worst part is, many of these women coming across, are going to have a baby within a year. That baby, who by law is automatically a US citizen, becomes their key to citizenship, because once that baby turns 18, he or she can sponsor his parents to become citizens and also sponsor other family members. It’s not right. That amendment to our Constitution, was meant for descendants of slaves to become citizens, NOT to be used the way it’s being used today.\nAnd if we’re not careful we will all be speaking Spanish in the future.\n\nVOTE REPUBLICAN! It’s this country’s only chance and DEFINITELY vote for Trump in 2024. He’ll fix this mess…

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

As a black man native of slaves I love to see this these people need to take back their country! The white imperialist colonists have stolen everything from these people it's time for them to give back what they stole open the borders allow all the people into this country

Charity begins at home and ends abroad. Let them fix their own country and whatever's going on there 1st. We cannot take on any more people into this country. We have a crazy amount of homeless people, people that are veterans; that don't even get adequate housing or funding. Yet they think that they can come over here and just do whatever they want. Meanwhile the actual citizens of America are paying X amount of dollars in taxes which are steadily increasing year by year due to situations like this. We need to fix our own country first.

They do need to go to there county and demand better care. Why come here and try make us take you. Forceing your way into our country is crazy. They planned that shit!!!

So glad Kamala Harris is taking care of securing our border… this administration is a fuckn joke! We need TRUMP!!

We are over run now with illegal aliens our veterans are homeless our housing is in crisis schools over run wic foodstamps hud we are not able to take care of illegal aliens . They ALL NEED TO BE DEPORTED NOW!!

We have to take care of our own first or homeless veterans are on the street we can barely have our own homes and stuff because high taxes and they come over and they get free phones free money and free homes the hell with it I'm sorry go back to your country United States needs to take care of its own take care of the veterans first piss on the rest I'm sorry

THEY TO BOLD THERE ARE ALREADY OVER 80 million plus here this is way to much these latino countries needs to take care of their ppl

Maybe we American people need to take our country back from corporate America and stop making it harder for other countries economically with sauctions… maybe we wouldn’t have this problem.

we need to take care of our own first then we can worry about others it's sad but we can't take care of others till we take care of ourselves if they tried that in some other countries the would've been shot

We have homeless veterans that we need to take care of!!

I get wanting a better life. But American people need to come first. Veterans need to come first. We deserve to have happy lives more than others just bombarding into our country. America can’t even take care of it’s own people first and that’s embarrassing. Every country has a strict way to be able to get in/get citizenship. Yet, when it’s America, everyone yells racist, classism, etc. WE are more important and I will forever say that people who aren’t from here do not belong until they do it the right way.

Need to make a U-turn.\nWhen they rush the gates the u-turn takes them right back to Mexico!?

It's all scam, take 29 $, for the initial application. After that, they told can't proceed with pnp and express entry. Now you have to come on a visa student visa. Need to pay 1700$ for our processing fee and it does not include your course fee and admission.

These people need to get ahold of their own country they need to make their own countries better instead of doing this bs runnin away to America. They have the balls to do this but not to revolt and take control of their own corrupt countries i have no sympathy for them

My parents came illegally but became citizens thru the amnesty from Bill Epstein i mean Clinton, i was born here in California, even though i love my Mexican heritage i still think this is wrong, we need more border control but we also need to be able to make it easier for the good people to come here legally. Donald trump was not racist he was speaking the truth alot of these immigrants are bringing drugs over alot of them are bad people who will cause alot of problems over here for us thats why we need a screening process but a better one than we have now because the one we have now is very expensive and takes way too long, we could use the extra labor from people who want to come and actually work. There’s also more Chinese immigrants than mexican so we need to get a hold of that too , but these Central Americans trying to come in the country alot of them are gang members and most of them are poor and have no resources so when they get here they will become gang members and cause problems because they have no structure and thats all they know. They really need to do something about this. This is disgusting, this is not the right way trying to barge your way into our country is not the way to go

We need to take care of our own citizens and homeless veterans before people from other countries. They have governments they can vote. They should be fixing their own country instead of coming here and trying to take advantage of what we have. Make your own home better..

They were paid to come here, democratic backers need the crisis. Like they always teach, never let a crisis go to waste, and always create a crisis if you can't find one. Soros and his cronies paid for bussing them before, he is known for taking down countries. This isn't a shock to anyone who has been watching and it will get worse. Buss every illegal to Washington and all democratic states. Keep the busses running.

All the sudden CNN cares about the border? We need to stop helping the rest of the world and take care of ourselves first. FJB

They need to make Venezuela great again, and demand from their country what they demand from ours. We don't even take care of our working homeless and veterans, we got nothing for you.

It's all too easy for them to demand other countries take them in and house, clothe and feed them. What they need to do is march on their own countries government and demand it from them. All countries have there own problems and accepting a load of immigrants isn't another they want. Thats the reality folks

I feel sorry for these people but at the same time they’re country’s need to get there fucking act together. This war torn 3rd world crap can go on no longer. People call the u.s the u.k etc war mongers? Well take a look at this right now. We have tried over the years to put your country’s straight but you didn’t want that help. Same here in the uk we get flooded with Africans and Middle Easterns. Change your country’s and turn them into democracy’s ! Get rid of your backwards medieval ways and maybe your country’s might be atleast better and safe places to live.

Mexicans need to start a civil war with its own government and take it over

Let them in their people are hurting we also need to take here of our own people to especially the homeless

Go back to you’re country and come back in the right way. We don’t need more trash taking American jobs. Put a Machine gun nest at the border lets see if they’d cross then.

Usa needs to take care of their own people before helping anyone else

I’m sorry no, enough immigrants coming here illegally. No. They need to get it the legal way like everyone else. And there needs to be cap of how many we take yearly even than. It’s getting crazy for the people who live here to even get resources as Americans because of all these people. Yes, unfortunately Americans need to come first.
