I have a hard time believing that our government finds so much money to allow illegals to function. I’m a veteran so I have had the opportunity to visit other countries and you can’t pull that crap anywhere but here. You can’t work or rent or anything without proper paperwork. Our government should just takeover the Mexican government and end the corruption that keeps these talented and hardworking people down so much they risk everything to get here to do what they should be able to do there. So since they want to be over here so bad let’s just take the country and start taxing them like real Americans. Sorta like a new Puerto Rico but much closer.

I don't care where you are from,if you are here illegally,then you need to get deported, some of my family came here from Scotland in 1830's legally it's not that hard to come here legally

I work in construction and can confirm a lot of the big companies have been exploiting this system to cut costs because they get hand outs from the government to offset the wages of these foreign workers. \n1. There are some good people who are foreign workers who do good work and want to integrate into our culture, but there are many who do not respect our customs/culture and do shoddy work.\n2. Youths who would otherwise be interested in getting into construction are apathetic, lazy and have no ambition because it's so hard to make ends meet from the ground level.\n3. Why would employers take a lazy apathetic youth over a hard working immigrant, even if they suck at their job and are hard to communicate with?

Get in line, ask for permission, obay all laws and work hard.

11:30 - this has been my experience too when I was a teenager in the 90s the idea of getting a job in the USA was still commonly seen as a great thing with the running joke about “just try not to get shot” but since George W Bush and 9/11 America has taken a very hard right towards fascism in every aspect of life, public and private, and it’s impossible to ignore.\n\nUnfortunately Americans are like the frog in the pot of water getting hotter and hotter too slowly for the frog to notice until it’s too late and the frog gets boiled to death. Google the boiled frog analogy.

Are we really safe in this country where people of criminal background are filing asylum and after two weeks they are getting our hard earned money 1200 dollars as a asylum help they don’t even pay college fees

I’m so happy ! So many people work these jobs and aren’t citizens making it hard for us to get a job.

They act as though they’re entitled to what Americans have worked hard and some died for. They have broken governments where they come from and they need to work to fix their countries instead of invading ours so they can get a free ride! They also need to use US History as their guide, we had a civil war here and a lot of people died!

Why can’t people just get green cards and documents cause it’s not that hard everyone

Best person gets the job, not we need to have different genders fill vacancies. How hard is that.

WoW America are you really going to throw these soldier's under the bus? They put in some serious hard work to get where they are. Most of us will never reach this lvl of achievements.

I feel sorry for the hard working innocent working class. At the same time..I get it.

wasnt able to make the cut as a man so changed genders so he didnt have to work as hard. now hes stronger then a real woman and able to max out his stats on Physical exams. Times for him to go. More mental health issues, get them out.

How are trans people serving in the the US? Exceptions are being made that’s how. It’s a hard pill to swallow for someone who lost their career because I was non deployable to see folks get an exception to that. A lot of trans folks are non-deployable and are still active.

White people don't want to work hard, \nIndians are hard workers,\nInstead of getting jealous on them quit your laziness go work hard make more money get your own house.

Every Spanish person I’ve ever met is an intelligent, hard working, decent person. I don’t understand why they can’t create awesome countries south of the border. Is is just the cartels or their governments? It seems like closing the border will cause the cartels to go broke and then people can get their country back.

Stay in your own country and fight for your homeland like our forefathers did!!! Americans are sick of you trying to get a free ride off of our hard labor. Get your green card or come in legally......period!!!

My husband is from Turkey we've been going through the Immigration process for years it's not easy but we're doing it. I see my husband get up and work hard everyday. He's never gotten a handout so to see this is frustrating to the both of us!!!!!

Guys it’s call surviving people looking for better life imagine yourself in this situation sad to see this \nBut it always been like this world turning around it’s getting worst\n16 year ago i came to uk legally fpr better life and i worked hard pay taxes im thankful ?? for ?? i just hope all this turns out good and hire ?? legally hire with documentation those poor people to argoculture jobs

Get em gone Tom EVERY SINGLE LAST ILLEGAL THAT HAS CROSSED OUR BORDER The influx from Illinois is hitting Michigan/Detroit hard send ICE here get the illegal construction workers out. DTE has a lot employed locally

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

The globalist ordered them to over run it for political reasons. Because it was heavily organized when, scheduled caravan from mexico. They don't care if they get hurt spiritually or bodily. The globalist need to be held accountable for ordering this. Racketeering invasion. Ngos handle these people. Those people are given false promises. Their handlers are illegal and the immigrants also are willing to be illegal. God speaks about the lawless ones in the bible having a hard road.

So we say were going to send our military to the southern border, but the flow of migrants swells to an enormous crowd, I blame Mexico send those assholes back to their country Mexico is COMPLICIT AND THE SOONER WE GET MEXICO TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BETTER, NOW MEXICO MAY WANT TO LEARN THE HARD WAY, WE PREFER THE EASY WAY EITHER WAY MEXICO YOUR GOING TO FEEL THE HEAT

i get it... i do... but man its so hard to see. those aren't terrorists! they're obviously people seeking a better life! is it possible to legally immigrate here? absolutely. my cousin did it. but its not easy. most american citizens wouldn't be able to pass that test, and its an expensive and lengthy process. i do feel so bad for these people. =(

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

I was born and raised in America on 56 years old and I can't even get an apartment and hear they're giving these immigrants 68,000 and 6 months to live on just handed to them for free. And I can't even get my tax refund that they owe me from 2018 $5,000 because I have to prove that it's me and they're giving me such a hard time they keep saying no it's not you answer these questions wrong. Whatever freaking Biden Harris just destroyed this country in 4 years

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

You know what's funny is, when Biden was in office, the economy was getting better, gas prices were finally going down and unemployment was at its all time lowest in US history. Now Trump is gonna get rid of all these immigrants that do the hard dirty work like, picking fruit, avocados and chile and roofing and construction So now watch I bet you anything businesses will go out of business and the economy will get bad again. I hope im wrong

“…to get these countries to do the US’s bidding” \n\nOne of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Sounds like a CNN reporter tbh.\n\nTaking YOUR citizens that are nothing but criminals back who entered OUR country illegally and are costing OUR taxpayers billions of dollars to cater to them when they contribute nothing to society is hardly “doing Trump’s and the USA’s bidding.”

Trump is working damn hard to get democrates elected in 2026

Well countries going to hit agent orange right back each flight costing over 500k of tax payer money. 20 dollar eggs on its way, Mexico Canada making trade deals with China Americans will get screwed hard,thanks magats

Actaully magrants want it very much. They worked hard to get here and illegals make it harder on them.

Well....Starbucks is gone and coffee is like likely to triple in price, I wonder what caffeine addicted MAGA are going to do now? What about wood prices....hard to make affordable housing without inexpensive wood, and that's not even counting the Crude oil we get...If the Man-Child in charge is going to tariff everyone who pisses him off the whole world is going to be in a trade war against us.... make america great again by alienating the whole world and causing everything we buy more expense....thats the plan.

Trump is hard at work, uniting the nations of the world, against the U.S. Putin is really getting his money's worth.

The American dream for hard workers has never ceased. Just enter the country legally. All this charade gets you nowhere.

Finally finally action not words. What's so hard to figure out get at the back of the line and come and legally.

America is the land of opportunity. With or without an education and your determination, we can hold 2 to 3 jobs , while taking care of your family you left behind and still pay for a room over your head. Some make mistakes due to being taking advantage on, because of situations, they work hard and don't get paid or settle for less. It's not just Mexicans it's most of us.

I came from Asia, I came legally. It was difficult to enter the US. I had live in the US for 5 years before getting the right to take a test to be the citizen. It is not fair that they just across the US border then get the place to live, get free mobile, and get citizen so soon. It is not fair for the Americans who have worked hard and pay tax, then money from tax paid to feed illegally. These tax money suppose to take to developed the communities in America and the care for American !

A huge number of Americans support this illegal migration to the point of defending them from ICE while it is very hard to get a legal entry visa to the US if you're from the Philippines or any other country if you are asking for any visa be it tourist, student, working, and etc. Now that you have a no nonsense president, make hay while the sun shines because right now America is a mess because you elected, the past 4 years, a corrupt senile, incoherent president.

I earned my permanent resident status back in 2001 and joined US ARMY during war in terror and served for 8 years. While serving, I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the middle of hot zones, dodging grim reaper's radar for many, many times. When I finally earned my US citizenship through military, I seamlessly transitioned into law enforcement career in New York for past 10 years, which I encountered with many illegal criminals with rap sheets- which some makes you think why they are still wondering in the street instead of locked up in the jail, having their freedom taken away. What is funny is that many of these illegal criminals have such an entitled mindset that they are deserve to be here in US without permit do whatever they want and enjoying these unbelievable benefits that these sanctuary city/state provides that we, us citizens don't even get- and we are paying for it with our hard earned money. I think I earned my citizenship with blood and sweat, same goes to many immigrant hopefuls that came to U.S with true American dream. It is time to take back our country and I 100% support with Trump's decision on this.

Lived in Canada for almost 40 years. Worked in USA for 5 years 25 years ago. I did make a lot more money in USA then, luckily, I was in my 20s and almost never seen a doctor in my 5 years in the USA. \nThank God I didn't get into any accident while there. \n\nIn general, I observed many people in the USA are not good neighbors. Simple observation, ex you drive and merge into a lane in a busy SF Bay Highway you need to fight hard to get into a lane. In BC, Canada, merging lanes is very orderly, each vehicle takes turn merging into a lane one entering from one lane and then another vehicle from another lane with respect and consideration. \nIn the USA, I think it is this brutal mentality translates into policy in health care and education, you are not responsible to help your community in any way and take while you can for yourself.

This is addressed mainly to the ugly Indian: My generation came to the racist west and built a golden reputation. We worked hard, assimilated, paid our taxes, and obeyed the laws. We were humble. We celebrated our native cultures within the confines of our communities. While it was frustrating to be invisible in white culture, we never sought to conquer them with our culture. We were ethical to the hilt. Our generations were poor -- yet we struggled to help others in India and in the west. We were NEVER on the dole. Personally I think it is rude to enter a nation (in the west or anywhere in the world) with naked opportunism. Speaking for myself -- despite neocolonialism, I admired western civilization, especially its older forms. \n \nBut the ugly Indian who comes now is loud, brash, socially irresponsible, exploitative, money-hungry, opportunistic, and arrogant beyond belief (full of the hubris that comes from sudden new wealth). They look down on us who have been here a while. They are used to a servant-culture and look down on white working class people, as if they are servants. As for second generation Indians in the west, they can be racist towards us first generations. But the opposite is true as well. Indian newcomers see them as an alien species. Indians do tend to hire their own and stick to their own identities -- I do not mean the Indian identity, but their native state identities. All this feeds into the primary and secondary forms of western racism that are already simmering beneath the surface. This new genre of Indians is destroying the goodwill we have built. I have personally witnessed arrogant young Indian students cutting the line to reach the front desk. No manners, no ethics. As a first generation Indian immigrant I get annoyed. So why shouldn't native born westerners (who are already racist)? \n \nBut to complain about how they smell is rude beyond belief. This must stop.

These immigrants clearly believe they are entitled to invade any country they want. They have been getting away with it for so long it is becoming common behavior and very hard to reverse and prevent such behavior at the border.

Sad that their own President doesn't want to take care of their of their own citizens. Cause they don't want the responsibility to take care of them. Cause they have hatred towards their own citizens and this video shows how incredible incompetent their own President's are. Americans just can't support the world's population on our hard working tax dollars. This bullshit has got to stop and keep these illgel immagernts from crossing over our southern border. Fight your own problems with your own President's in your countries. We didn't ask you to invade into our country and getting a free ride off the hard working Americans tax dollars. Go back to your own countries and fight for what you want to happen over there. Or get rid of your President's and leaders that aren't doing their damn jobs.

My 20 year old son wants so bad to get a trade and work hard in life...he just hasn't the funds to get there. Working at a fast food place where they are cutting most of the employees hours is getting very depressing for him.

Most of us who are born here don't appreciate how lucky we are. There's so much misery going on in this world and people are going through seriously hard times. Trying to get to a better life.

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

No dude, our regulations on food in Canada are FAR better than yours. You might have the highest quality health care for your rich people but there's a reason we fought hard to keep your milk out of here, and our meat is far better too, which is why you import it. Oh wait, you won't get our quality inspected beef anymore. Boohoo.

Is in the news everyday how hard it is to get asylum approved and they still come, that I don't understand.. I know some people are desperate but you have to be realistic too.

I having a hard time understanding the migration north for a free ride. The jobs here are short and people are just starting to get back to work from the pandemic. Not enough work here to support millions of more people. If the migrate would have stayed in there country and got rid of the corruption and made their country great they wouldn't have left. Got News the streets aren't paved of gold. Worked all my life to get were I've got and what I've got isn't much!
