Denying people the right to not live in such horrible conditions is just wrong. What would you do if you were them? You would do anything for a better life wouldn't you? Screw the laws... history says enough about the illegal immigrants that created this country. Basic human decency says this is wrong. Let them all come here. Then they'll be nothing and America can expand. Just saying there's a lot of good that could come from expansion.

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.

This reporter says, “why are we seeing this right now.“ Are you kidding me? They’ve been flooding across our southern border for over two years now! It’s just getting worse and worse and nothing is done! Nothing! We should put 10% of our military on our southern border. This country is being invaded! Invaded! Terrorists are coming into this country. They’ve already caught many of them, but I’m sure they haven’t caught all of them. I’m sure those terrorists are going to kill massive amounts of Americans. What is wrong with our government? It’s about time CNN started to report on this. They should report on it every single day.

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…

Us Americans are going through a lot right now… I get other countries are doing bad, but there’s about over 400k homeless ppl in the US. We don’t need this right now?‍♀️

What difference is that then the idiots that broke into the stores during the riots? They're breaking into this country, we have a right to protect our land. Why were firearms not used as a scare tactic? Why were they not used in general To protect our country Is from intruders and invading illegal criminals?

Hurts me seeing these people like this but I do not approve any of it nobody should enter any country illegally \n\nI was 12 when my mom and dad left for the US \nthey both left when I was 12 and my brother 14 \nLeft us by ourselves in a third world country sending us 100$ a month to survive \n\nso I waited and waited for 8 god damn long years \nfor me to get a stupid interview that was done in 5 minutes with me barely saying any words. \n8 years it took me just to get a interview with the U.S. embassy \n\nYeah that needs to change obviously \n\nBut when I look at this people I only get disgusted and reminded how much bs I had went trough not being able to have my mom and dad near me as a kid because we went on the “right” path

As everybody can see the Border is closed Joe Biden Kamala harris this is on you And of course the secretary. Homeland security. Again thank you, joe biden and kamala harris For Putting this country where it is right now, how to hell do you sleep at night? And how do you look in the mirror When president trump? Was Sullivan office? You didn't say none of this s***

Why in the hell are they trying to come to the US? Take your asses back to your own country and fight and work to make it a better place for yall to live. Just because you live in a shit country doesn't give you the right to run your asses to America.

This is a major problem. This shouldn’t be happening. What’s so dam wrong with their own country that they have to rush in to this one like that. America needs to hold their own government accountable. Sanction them. Cut off aid from them. Instead of pushing gay rights and lgbtq into other countries. Stop these immigrants from rushing into this country making it much worse for the Americans already here and born here. This has to stop and there need to be a strict policy in place to make illegal entry here a violation with immediate consequences of return back to where you came from. We have to many issues to deal with here

Stop this. Your country will not be yours as they will clsim equal rights then. Only allow respectful literate people who can excel economy nt these freeloaders from middle wast

Your seeing this because they don't want you to see the real things going on ,like banks and gov....taking your Money.......they been coming in the country....the media picks what they want to report.......never the right things ...wake up poeple....why are we seeing this right Now ? Because that what they want you to See!!!!!

Biden is allowing this insanity but, We would do the same thing if We were in their shoes ...right? The problem is really in countries, like Venezuela, their government is purposely starving their citizens ! We need to send all these American citezens that hate America and act like America is so terrible! Send all these liberal idiots that are always bashing this country

You know what, I’m an immigrant too. I came to America in 1988 from a communist country to have a better life and have religious freedom. But it took us more than 5 years, if not more, to get approved and jump every hurdle, every flaming hoop, and else they asked us to do, BUT, WE DID IT! Why do people think it’s ok to be able to come here illegally when others have to Jump through hoops to get here? And the stupid fucks who think they should be allowed to do that shit, should be made to put em up in THEIR HOMES AND NOT ON THE TAXPAYERS DOLLAR! Period point blank!!!! A country without rules will fall into anarchy. So many people do shit the right way, why do others think it’s ok to say fuck it and became a burden on the economy? Everywhere around the world, there are borders in place, and they’re there for a reason, to keep order, and to prevent illegal entry. Nobody’s saying not to come here, or that you’re not welcome or wanted here. But you have to do it the right way. Millions of people had to do it like that, by the books, the right way, you don’t get a free pass to come here illegally cause it’s hard, or it takes a long time. You’re not the first person to go through this hardship.

?The fact that they’re willing to put their babies in danger like that speaks volumes. Go about coming here the right way and stop making a bad name for people that deserve to be here! If you don’t like your country it’s up to you and your people to make it better. Stop relying on Americans to fix everything!

As a nation we have the right to control the entry of migrants in to our country. We need to be careful how many people we let in. It all affects our country for the good and bad.

ID JUST OPEN FIRE THIS IS GETTING STUPID!!! STAY IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY AND FIX IT DONT JUST LEAVE!!? LIKE WHAT!?! We don't want you right now we're all poor too and I can't even afford to live on my own working a full-time job?

Screw these twits! They have no right to enter our nation illegally! If you think that's harsh, check out every other countries immigration policies. They should go home and fix their own country! ?

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.

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

What’s happen to Mexica county? Why people running away from their Mexican country? Honest, our home America country are going down and not healing yet. Because our home America needs help and deal with it first. World knew America country going down and have problems right now.

And when i say the wall need to be built popple look at me like I'm racist like i am immigrant i was poor born in a port in God grace we manage to get our visa and passport, i am not even joking qhw. I'm saying one day we will only eat rice i know where I come from, war, dangerous street at night, just crazy stuff be happening like this is not right it doesn't matter how u look at it American as an immigrant yes there are certain i don't like about the country but what the hell is this.

Why do they feel entitled that they can come here and be given benefits. We can't help our own, the veterans the homeless, the working poor. I'm so sick of them. Stand up and fight your government for your rights. We Black folks did. We didn't run to another country for relief. With help from other fellow Americans, we forced a change. Yeah, people died, but we stood our ground and won.

I'm Mexican, I live in Mexico but in the borderline between Mexico and United States and this immigrant behavior is just so embarrassing and unacceptable.\n\nTrump was a racist and I don't agree with the inhuman way he treated foreign people. This doesn't mean you have the right to enter to someone's house with out an invitación. They are so wrong, just proclaiming rights from other country they don't have, United States or even Mexico is NOT in obligation of helping them, we do it as a favor and they need to understand that. ITS A FAVOR. They should be thankful for any thing they receive from us.

I respect all people. But you don’t have the right to just enter any country you desire cuz of problems. I mean those people were running with smiles on their faces like it’s Black Friday. Life isn’t easy for someone without the docs to be in US. but THATS the way it should be ??

This is crazy. We have too many problems here that need to be dealt with. If they want to come, they need to do it the right way. They'll kill someone because they moved their hand but won't shoot at these people who are breaking in the country?

I believe all people should be given a fair shot at life and freedom. But however if you have a country in which you don’t like the laws and are being denied human rights and live in poverty. Then you should fight to make it a better place. Black people in America have endured what no other nation has ever experienced. But they stayed and fought for human and civil rights and also built America from the ground up. And made it necessary with the 14th amendment to make it possible for non white immigrants to migrate to America. “Make your own country better “

idk about you guys but that is not the kind of people i would even want in my country. my parents immigrated too but never expected hand outs nor did they ever recieve financial aide of any kind. why give our taxpayer dollars to these people when we are not even taking care of our own people? people that they themselves have paid into the system. i have also worked with them and its been the worst experience. they dont want to do the work right and get offended when you try to coach them. they show up to work to recieve a check but dont come to work to work. they are people that just expect things to be given to them because thats how it used to be when venezuela was rich off oil. its sad that this is how they represent their people

Why is CNN covering something not serious in Canada but the wide open mexico border is fine ? ?????? How do you people watch this trash CNN, Fox MSNBC,abc all garbage liars ignoring the real issues CNN saying trump is a criminal well Hillary was smashing laptop's and phones as the FBI raided this world is so backwards when are you people going to wake up all of them Left & Right are destroying this country

These people have so much aggression against America, but why don't they use it in their own country to fight for their rights?

Absolutely DISGUSTING that people believe they have a “right” to just straight up IGNORE the laws of the country they’re SUPPOSEDLY so desperate to “immigrate” to!\nJust like in every other country (that’s not been completely subsumed by the cult of “woke” mind-virus) that protects IT’S citizens and it’s LEGALLY RECOGNIZED BORDERS and it’s perfectly acceptable for “certain” other countries, but it’s somehow “wrong” for the greatest nation on the face of the earth when they do it!?\nTFOH with that hypocritical BS!\n\nPS the communist news network (AKA cnn) flushed whatever journalistic integrity/credibility they had when they pushed proven lies about “Russian collusion” even when various hosts admitted it was a *nothing burger* and even the owner was caught by James O’Keefe.

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.

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.

We fixed this in europe physical force, bob wire the military one which is hell even for military to pass and tear gas, water hoses, and most important arrest for years if pass illegal and return to either country of origins or simply return from where they come to border of country they enter, also border must be protected by military with full automatic guns, deadly force is last resort. You see if you let them in you loose country. Right now we even consider mines and they will be planted for defence against Russia.

Based on Mayorkas testimony this maybe a right wing theater ? because under oath he told the country that border is under control

All these people coming yeah I get it just come the right way man we have millions of people of come over from countries then become homeless we really got to stop this

Well done, USA invaded, corrupted, destroyed many countries around the world. People of those countries should be entitled in USA and have the same right as an American.

MUST HAVE USA BORDERS PROTECTED BY USA MILITARY WITH LETHAL FORCE AND BORDER WALLS LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES DO!\nTHIS IS RIDICULOUS!! USA\nLEGAL IMMIGRATION LAW\nSTILL EXISTS BUT NOT BEING ENFORCED BY BIDEN\nADMINISTRATION!! WHY IS\nUSA/CITIZENS RIGHTS ARE \nNOT HELD FIRST!! USA TAX\nPAYERS FORCED TO PAY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS EXPENSES!! DEPORT THEM ALL!!

To all the people in the comments upset with poor, desperate, people with no power instead of the American government that has undoubtedly destabilized these countries to the point where their citizens are fleeing to other countries…know that you are angry with the wrong people!\n\nThese people just want better lives for their families! That should cause everyone to question why they want to leave? Is there something we can do to support change in their countries so they don’t want to leave? Can we advocate for that in our politics? Is there something we can do to make housing more affordable? There isn’t a housing shortage, we have 600,000 homeless with millions of vacant homes! Can we advocate for the rights of people over giant real estate companies like Blackstone gobbling up houses and apartments, making them unaffordable before we scream that there aren’t houses for these people?!\n\nThe complete lack of effort around finding a solution is mind blowing to me! Everyone just resorts to basically saying they should all be kicked out!! Why can’t we find a solution? I just don’t get why this is such a controversial issue! Kicking them out or criminalizing them is just sweeping the issue under the rug. It doesn’t solve the problem, meaning after a while they will come back and we will be right back where we started. \n\nI guess I just feel like there should be a little more compassion and problem solving when talking about immigration!

These fkn dirt ppl ain’t taking us serious when we tell them they can NOT enter the U.S. and claim ASYLUM and take legal residence within minutes because u have HUMAN RIGHTS!!! FUCK NO!!! Before y’all come running and crying over here, y’all NEED to take dis shit up to YOUR OWN FKN GOVERNMENT and bring all ur drama to YOUR GODDAMN PRESIDENT!!! Ask YOUR LEADER of YOUR COUNTRY for PROTECTION and a BETTER LIFE!!! Why should AMERICA help you when you extort, kidnap and torture AMERICANS (mostly tourists), especially our WOMEN and CHILDREN!!! Without MERCY or REMORSE, but with CRUELTY and ENJOYMENT, you VIDEOTAPE CUTTING OFF the HEADS of MY FELLOW AMERICANS and POST IT ON THE INTERNET!!! And now u say we AMERICANS have a DUTY to PROTECT YOU and YOUR FAMILIES?!! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUR FAMILIES!! And FUCK YOUR GODDAMN COUNTRY!!!\nTo ALL of those ppl who are trying to force their way thru our border patrols…. We will NOT welcome you to America with smiles, hugs and flowers… but instead we’ll greet you with LEAD, COPPER and GUN POWDER!

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

Democrats encourage the invasion of our country but yet a bunch of Republicans running into a building that we pay for guided by Capital Police is called an insurrection right?

Wow. I have a degree and couldnt get in. These immigrants couldnt fix their own countries now they comming to fix yours. Haiti. Venezuela. Afganistan. Somalia. High quality immigration right there. Hiw do you think this is going to play out.

This is more about their perspective countries than it is about the US\nWe invite all that want to come UNDER THE LAWS SET for this country. We have a right to have standards. U may call that hipócrita bcuz “Then let them all in” well…..\nI think it goes w/o saying that is an impossibility if u want to people entering to fall under a certain type like non violent or fraudulent criminals\nSo many people in that vid would probably make fantastic Americans but peppered through that crowd of people in need of safety and a country that will help their cause are some who don’t have good intentions \nAmericans should look at each other as a patriotic family and the people we choose to enter should chosen in that light

Born and raised Cdn and every point you raise is valid IMO and experience. I love my country however, it is hard to get ahead, we work too much, and cost of living is so expensive. The reason why Canada is wonderful for those who stay is A) Charter of Rights and Freedoms - we are protected by laws and citizens enjoy legal, justice, policing and gvmt services that help protect quality of life. B) it is a safe country primarily and not easy to reach for insurgents, terrorist attacks and political anarchy etc. C) We have so much land and space for people to decide where they want to live - density is not high so you can have space. D) it is a beautiful country with awe inspiring nature. E) we do have one of the best immigrant populations and that is our crown. Being diverse is a blessing so if you are atheist, Christian, Muslim etc doesn't matter - you can enjoy freedom to worship as you wish. And F) Healthcare could improve but, the quality of care is world class and speaking as a breast cancer survivor who's treatment ran $120k (diagnostics, chemo, surgery, radiation, med professionals, rehab and drug therapies) we have access to that care whereas in other countries you may not.

What the hell is wrong with people? \nIf your country needs change then guess what? \nChange it. You are the only people that can do it. Instead you allowed your home, your country, your people , to mess it all up. \nSo instead of cleaning up your messes, you discard your country and want to take from another country that doesn’t allow the nonsense all of you allowed. \nSo you want to come here to the USA to mess it all up as well? \nScrew that. Fight for your rights in your own country instead of leaving it like a discarded piece of trash. \nRemove the government and rebuild it in your own visions. \nAmerica did it and so Americans expect everyone else to do the same. \nNo excuses. Go home and clean up your mess. \nCome here and be met with constant disdain and regret on a daily basis. \nWhy everyone wants to take from strangers after destroying their own lands is just an idiotic thing of nature. \nBuild your country into your utopia. \nImagine buying land, building a beautiful house and waking up to migrants in your fridge making breakfast then seeing an encampment in your front yard of tents. \nImagine foreigners helping themselves to all of your stuff. \nThen the gaul they have to think it’s perfectly ok to take whatever they want. \nToday under these circumstances, compassion is out the window.

Who cares about these people we have our own problems in our own country right here right now. We don’t need to add more poor people to abuse the system

This bullshit I’m sorry my family come to this country the right way why can they

Fight for your own country to make changes. We fought for our rights.

Fight to your own country. Don.t go to another country and ask rights and support. Ask that to your own country. Go back to your country !
