Should have stopped it when it started not too late it's too many of them and they already done snuck over here stop trying to build a wall and just buy bullets put people back out there armed guards like it used to be back in the day because you can believe when they get here then going to have no problems robbing stealing and killing when they get it

Looking at all these children then realizing how much homeless we have that include homeless kids we don’t need more homeless people we got our own problems. Everyone should see what Australia ?? does

If the greedy elite didn't just take take take you wouldn't have this problem . These are some of the hardest workers then why can't they find jobs in there own country ? Greedy rich that feel entitled to a much better life than everyone else is the problem here obviously. How can we have homeless people in America ?

I'm a mexican american born in USA. I'm 32 YEARS OLD. I'm SO CLOSE to BEING HOMELESS. Thats Because i have work My WHOLE LIFE. I have mental problems. I NEED HELP..... Is depressing how people WHO have never WORK or done ANYTHING FOR USA WANT TO CUT IN LINE.......

Immigration laws have to be enforced we cannot continue taking the worlds immigrants we have homeless problems already we have people that have problems supporting their families as it is..we need to solve our own problems at home before we can solve problems abroad.i have zero problems with someone emigrating to the u.s. but it needs to be done legally..the rich in the United States keeps getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer.solve that problem first..

Naaaaa all of these people need to go back \nWe don't need more problems here

I think people that hire them should lose their business.\nApartments that house them she lose their property then you won't have that kind of problem everybody that you loses their services has to pay . Dearly now that's putting Americans first

Come on really? Our government wants illegal immigrants to come into America. These people need opportunities and we should help them by all means. The only problem is once you come here you won't be able to get out when the real genocide begins soon.

And my life turned upside down this Friday by illegal immigrants here in Louisiana. They ran a red light, smash my car, totaled it. While running from border patrol and customs. I counted eight people running out of the vehicle and not one gave two shits to check on me, even though I was injured. Seven of them got away the only one they caught was a 14 year old Honduran child that claimed amnesty. So vehicle which they stole, which had stolen license plate, and apparently was full of stolen tools all was seized. The owners will be lucky if they get anything back since it is being held as evidence. I was told by My Attorney chances are my insurance will not pay me in full for my vehicle. Also, I only have a few payments on my car left, and I’m forced to pay it even though now I have no vehicle to get to work, because all my equity is tied up in it, funny thing is I recognize this kid from one of the jobsites down the street. They literally beat me in a bid on. Mind you only buy $400 differences I’m having to pay taxes it’s a joke when you say these people take jobs and no one else wants thing is it’s not jobs no one else wants it’s jobs that have become jobs. No one wants because of the pay continues to fall prices continue to increase, everyone thinks he’s illegal immigrants make no money on these jobsites most of them have nicer vehicles and live in nicer places than the guys I know. The Democrats who are used to vote for because I thought they were for the workingman have completely switched. Their allegiance is to the large corporations that just want to drive down competition and raise their profit margins. They don’t care about America. They want a global economic system in which we have to compete with people that are willing to do the same work as us for a little less because they don’t have to pay what we have to pay and they go back to their countries and live like kings where our dollar buys a lot. They literally use their influence and corruption to take down Trump‘s administration because he was actually doing something about America’s problems. What a damn shame it’s time to change the system. If you’re not voting for a Bernie Sanders or Trump you might as well not voted off because you will get no change. Frankly, I think Bernie Sanders is a terrible choice, but it beats Joe Biden, because at least Bernie Sanders does care. Trump 4 more years!!!!

To think, in that crowd are unregistered violent people, sex offenders, gangsters, poor people who are incapable of following courteous laws and regulations, and foreigners who refuse to learn our ways, language, and customs to help give back to our communities. They come here, use housing and food aid at tax payers expense, work under-the-table jobs and don’t pay taxes, and they save up and send all of their earnings back to their country which adds to THEIR economy. Um, NO.\n\nThe sad part is, in that crowd are also good, creative, humble and kind people who seek a better future. Those should register and come in the RIGHT way. They NEED to register. \n\nSadly, you can’t tell the bad people from the good people. And that is a problem we can’t risk taking.

They're being selfish. We already have homeless people that can barely get around in the United States. Inflation and shortages keep increasing because foreigners want to exploit our resources by migrating here because their government screwed them over. It's not our fault to deal with their faults. They need to fix their problem and stop making it our problem.

Bunch of animals.\nWe've have the same problem in Australia.\nOur visa system is a JOKE.\nWe already have a housing crisis and governments keep letting PEOPLE in.

I watch the Congressional hearings with the director of Homeland Security repeatedly when asked if this was a problem he would not answer he would just diverting the question with statements that have nothing to do with the question asked.\nBut the one thing he kept repeating and making a point was that border patrol has apprehended countless numbers of Cuban and people from Venezuela and has denied entry into the United States she kept making the point of these two countries because he knows it's been especially and Venezuelans will definitely vote Republican because they come from communist socialist countries.\nIf I am wrong why would it be these were the two that he made the biggest point about just to let you know he also was talked about people from Haiti\nGo watch the videos of the hearing they were a joke

What if we just let them? I’m not pro illegal immigration but would it really be all that bad? Most people attempting to come here are not criminals or free loaders like the media has made you believe. We are suffering population decline to the point we will have too many elderly and not enough tax payers to support the elderly. This can help solve that problem as well increase our economy. Meh.

I have no problem with immigration. WHEN ITS DONE LEGALLY. That said, it’s not just South Americans coming across the border. People from ALL OVER the world are. Even terrorists. And our government does not care.

They should’ve started firing, rubber bullets into the crowd, and if that didn’t work, real bullets. We don’t have enough housing and resources for the people that are here already. Legally I’m not even gonna early and the people that are already here illegally. I emigrated here 22 years ago legally. Illegal immigration is a problem for everyone. Legal immigration benefits everyone. If you can’t understand the difference between the two, you should stay out of the conversation.

We don't need more people on welfare they bring their problems with them they will destroy this country like they done theirs?

I living for the Montreal Canada government is very good. I am happy but I am 4 Yeah, Canada. I am refusing. people my life back home my country big problem, my life my life is my country not safe Please help me my government, Canada government thank you so much.

KEEP THESE PEOPLE OUT OTS ALREADY CAUSE PROBLEM HERE IN CANADA ?? AS WELL

Its about damn time, we don't even have the money to look after our own people without feeding the world. If people have a problem with the country they live in its time for revolution not migration.

I thought the US and Canada had a legal agreement not to accept immigrants coming to Canada from the USA? I have no problem people seeking asylum and I feel we have a duty to process them. I have a problem if they come through the US as they should be processed there and applying for immigration to Canada.

When did half the world become so entitled that they think they can go wherever they want illegally?? IT IS ILLEGAL, they should be put in detention centres or jail with no freedom like the criminals they are! Stop making it ok, stop giving them the free crap they come here expecting! Jail or deportation, 95% of these people are NOT refugee’s they are illegal economic migrants who come expecting everything and we give it to them! They will never stop because they are entitled people who have no problem committing crime to get what they want, to go where they want. One boarder crossing road closing is too little too late, they’ll find another way because they have no morals. It won’t be long before Canadians are the minority in our own country. It’s madness and needs to stop. If you can’t come in legally, stay away! Illegal migrants are NOT WELCOME HERE!!!

My state has 18k homeless. Sorry to say it but those people need to figure their own stuff out, we got our own problems

Although I've been against illegal immigration (but NOT legal immigration), we have got to realize that it is the politicians of our day who have caused this problem, not the immigrants. If you were given a promise of a better life than you currently have, with no strings attached, wouldn't you take it? The current politicians RULING Canada (not governing) have allowed this situation to continue only so as to line their political pockets with people willing to thank them by voting for them in the next election. Canadians be damned ... the politicians could care less about you or me.

The welfare state is the problem.\nI have no problem letting our borders wide open if:1 we get rid of all taxes.\n2 we privatize everything.\nWe cant afford to help our own people RIGHT NOW.\nCanada needs real capitalism not corporate facism

After reviewing this comment section, it's kind of sad that people are arguing with each other, instead of looking at the real problem: the Canadian Govt as it currently stands. Trudeau needs to *GO* - Will that solve everything? Of course not. But it sure is a step in the right direction.

We never needed the US permission to close it down. We are a souvenir nation. This was just smoke and mirrors by Trudeau who was the cause of the problem from day one when he told people they could cross wherever. We never had this problem before Trudeau. Period. Thanks to Pierre for pushing this issue. A true leader.

I'm pretty sure Mexican are not loving The invasion so now they know why Trump was the way he was..because now the Mexicans are trying to do what Trump was trying to do in the first place!! first Mexico gets invaded by Honduras they didn't like that..and now they get invaded by Venezuelans I'm pretty sure they don't like that either!! Mexico already have his own problems all they needed was more people to add to the problem they got.. not only that but some of these people will try to set camp in Mexico and live there like Hundura did..Mexican people barely got sources for themselves i feel bad for all of this.. but now Mexico's really going to feel the pain they don't need more people in their country that's is not going to provide for them!! ?

A problem Trudeau created. And tries to get glory for after the fact. Not going to Niagara anytime soon. Hotels are over run. Sadly. Its a shame not going to a hotel where people are living. Worked on the road in ontario. And know to avoid those places. Yet alone with my children.

Good, tax payers already have enough problems with all the useless people we currently have

This is happening to much in everyone's country's even in the UK an as so as they get here there given more in 5 mins then I have being to to build for the last 30 years with my family an repairs on old house that are not done but new houses for them Tax payers money after not but in to the country an if I lost my job now it would be a game for my own government to help me or my family what's the world coming to an just for voicing a true on going problem you are put as a racist how strange or people don't like the ture being said an think I will stop now

Let them in the govt is already a problem here these people just want a better life o no never mind inflation.

That’s fine. Just ship them to DC California and New York. Then we’ll see how quickly peoples minds change. Funny how it’s not blue states problems when they settle in a red state and make a mess of things but as soon as 10 of them show up on their own door it’s “we’re in a state of emergency”

Over 3 million people illegally entered America last year. Most ever in my lifetime. CNN says theres no crisis. 5 million a day spent of our tax payer money. CNN says no problem.

Just seeing this is creating an even greater hatred in my heart towards right-wing politicians who don't give a crap about these people and what their reasons are for wanting to come to our countries, even though them being here is not going to cause any harm or misfortune to our citizens, it's just the knowledge that foreigners are coming to our countries illegally, is the only excuse that these bigoted Hippocrates have for not wanting them here. \n\nAren't they so lucky that they were born in a country where they didn't have to worry about any of these problems, but sadly for these people this was not the case for them but they are just as human as any of the rest of us and deserve the same chance to at least not live in fear or in the poverty that they came from. And it is so ironic that these people use their Christian religion as an excuse the pass certain laws or forego certain amendments that gives certain minority groups equal rights or the right to bodily autonomy, yet they ignore all the vast passages in the Holy Bible where Jesus insisted on having compassion for people like this, but in reality these fake-ass Christian right-wing politicians don't care about that. I feel so sick even thinking about this.

Wtf do not help these people. There are here illegally!! That means not our problem and we should not be helping them.

This is happening to every western country. Someone is moving these poor people. God knows they have legitimate complaints about their home countries so, how can you not be sympathetic? On the other hand, this isn't a tenable way to manage the problem. When I hear stories of how Russia is using people to pressure the Polish border via Belarus, I can't help but wonder, are there other forces at work in some cases? \n\nThis is an issue that deserves the calm attention of all affected nations. Shame on the countries who help these people pack, literally or figuratively.

It could be worse. We could be like Russia where everyone is trying to leave and NOBODY wants to enter. That’s why countries like Russia and China are going to have a population crash in the coming decades and the United States won’t. For as much as I complain about our problems here we are definitely doing some things right if people are stampeding to get in here.

The root problem is Colombia, which opened its borders, thus allowing thousands of Venezuelans to enter, increasing poverty, crime, women full of children, thugs, etc. Latin America is full of insecurity with this sending neighboring countries problems, these people are a very serious problem where the ONU does nothing, thanks to the ONU we are as we are in our countries, the United States should deport them to their country of origin there should be a a law that returns them to their country and that they send them the aid that they say they require so much, they are lazy criminal thieves, and of course a law that prohibits them from having children. They take advantage of the good faith of these countries, when they are having children, they do not require any kind of help or support, right? they use their children precisely so that these countries give help, they are scoundrels, and measures should already be taken in this regard, The danger we are running thanks to these people, we do not have citizen security, thieves everywhere, criminal gangs operating in our countries where they are killing people, and where is the ONU ? look at the news from Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, etc. and they will realize the big problem they will caused in the United States, they must stop all this. They received all the Venezuelans because there was a lot of money delivered in Colombia, they profited and stole this money, and the problem was really left in the hands of the same population.

Tell me why majority of the'se people are using asylum card? All countries have problems!I'm quiet sure every one has a story to lie.Why not get on the line like everybody else? Instead of using the system why not wait? they want you to feel sorry for them. I

Republican-fueled invasion. There must be an upcoming election or someone is in trouble. The more you broadcast the border telling others it's open the more people will keep showing up. Stop the infighting and gaslighting and fix the migrant problem already.

The problem with this people is that they are looking benefits and not looking forward to work, people that are coming from comunist countries just want to get other country benefits

I have no problem with people coming into the country legally but they need to close the border until they can come up with a better system and so they can deal with all the backlog asylum court cases because you cannot continue having large amount of people coming into the country because it will eventually put a strain on our resources.

We need a new form of vote. It says something profound when ordinary people are risking everything and leaving their lives behind to move to another country. Border problems are a disgrace to our species.

Have fun Canada, you mocked us for being racist for not letting these people in. Now they are your problem. This will help with our overpopulation problem

The thing is that it cause problems for people trying to enter legally and not to speak about the lack of apartment in most of the regions that they're sent.

I’m Colombian and it’s sad to see people from my country lying to the authorities to get documentation. \nI know everyone wants a better life and definitely my country is not the best place for low /middle income families; however, we should understand that US or Canada have no obligations to legalize anyone. There are already so many problems to handle in their territories and with their citizens.

Bullsh*t. The majority of these people are not in need of Asylum. These are economic illegal migrants.\nNot only can the West not keep sustaining this migration, but it never fixes the problem. Pressure creates change, migration keeps acting like a release valve.\nInstead, the people should create pressure and force their governments to fix up their dam countries. A workforce and education is a power. If they can't build a country with that, then they are corrupt.
