Just wait until you need a hospital room or you need a drivers license or you plan on insuring your car and home without losing a testicle! Insurance is going to go into the stratosphere folks ! A bunch of people that can’t read or write English crashing into everyone without insurance or a drivers license. Get ready cause we haven’t even begun to feel the pain yet.

Go back and put this effort into fixing your own country instead of adding problems to ours. We can't even take care of our own people right now. Respect our laws, do it the right way, and respect the ones who did it the right way. This is wrong and the invasions must stop now.

Latin here, I came here legally but I can tell you that it was difficult as hell for my mom to bring me here, it took money and years for that, but I want you as a fellow citizen to understand their situation first, in Latin America you could be graduation from college and even with that having a good job it’s difficult sometimes, unlike here education in Latin America is not always something that all people can get and every time they vote for someone it becomes more trashier, housing for the poor doesn’t even exist, half of the country is corrupt and going outside you don’t who you may find, my brother needs to wait 7 years to become a resident (not citizen) he will be 30 something at that point, what the government should do is make the residency easier and I can tell you something like this wouldn’t occur that easily, my mom is a lawyer in my country and I can tell you the situation wasn’t easy, every three times a week there would be shooting outside my house, drug dealer was my neighbor, and at the age of 15 there would parents of two kids the sad part all this is normal, stopping it is imposible because it gets you kill, the police will kill you for doing a peaceful protest just to stop feminicide, wanting your kid to go outside without being scare something would happen to them, this people want peace and a job that is it and when your own country doesn’t even give you the right for that how could you live? Latin America is like living in the worst state in U.S multiply by 1000 and happening the same thing every day, riots or protest are imposible there because you know the police will never go the peaceful way, what this people are doing is wrong but they just want to live, it even surprise how much people hate their president here when in Latin America there hasn’t been any good president in decades. Before someone tells me something, like I say what they are doing is wrong and it’s painful to watch, something should not be happening in the first place but it is happening and I hope the situation gets better but like I say before saying something disrespectful or out of place to these people, understand their situation first

Sad reality is these people are better dressed and look more healthy than 90% of Us citizens. These are definitely not all people that are in fear for their lives. They clearly have had food and water and some kind of life. What about our citizens in violent cities? Especially the ones who have no food, shelter, family, nothing to keep them away from violent people... Where can an American go for asylum? Where can we find refuge from our corrupt politicians? From the mentally illand violent? Its even worse thinking that these people will get treated better than those who have fought for this country. Risking life and limb to protect freedom. I think freedom in America was always an illusion. We were always being manipulated and controlled. Its just before it was less in our face. They don't care to hide what they are doing anymore. They have been successful in making people zombies and slaves. They think nothing can stop them now. They see the finish line and they are running harder at it. Lest everyone wakes up and holds them accountable.

Yup. The Biden admin told Venezuelans and Cubans that they are not welcomed here. Meanwhile, cartels are... I wonder why...\n\nAnd in the meantime, veterans are left without homes to allow illegal immigrants space in hotels, Americans can't afford higher education, let alone a house in many instances, and property is being bought En masse by people like Gates and companies like Blackrock...\n\nDo we even matter? Do we, the people that live here, legal immigrants, born in America, matter? Do we? CNN why don't you make that question for us?

Why do they talk so highly about their people and that they care and that they're one of the loving, caring human being in this world. But you guys can't even stay in your own country that lets you know a lot about your people

Let me make it clear. THESE people are NOT Mexican they come from further south.. And fuck we cant even afford fucking rent..

Welcoming more problems in a deteriorating peace and order situation and adding more homeless people . Our govt cannot even provide housing to homeless US citizens and we welcome more?? Please wake up America!!!

If you’d been honest about this invasion from the BEGINNING of Biden’s regime instead of covering it up, it wouldn’t be like this. This exact thing has been happening for more than TWO YEARS! We’ve tried and tried and tried to get MSM to be honest, and cover it. But no….y’all took the money and shut up. The MONEY was more important than the truth. It’s NOT just Venezuela either, it’s South Africa, Mauritania, China, Sudan, ….EVERYBODY is coming. Drug traffickers, sex traffickers, terrorists, and criminals. There’s no time to vet them, they just come. Some of these people don’t even have immigration court dates until 2027 and the latest one one I saw was 2035! Some don’t even get the paperwork for court, they just let them in en masse. Thank God Abbott finally saw some video that made him put the TX NG down there and get something in place to help stop them. This is a total mess, a total disgrace and egregious transgression on our Sovereignty. Biden is supposed to protect us, not allow an invasion. Pure and utter STUPIDITY and TREASON. Our immigration laws have been run through the shredder. They’re gone. I believe in LEGAL immigration, abiding by the laws and doing it the right, legal, and lawful way. Not this. No….I’m not a right wing hard case, I’m a somewhat conservative Independent. But I know right from wrong and I believe I have a moral compass to live by.

It's just too much how so many people have been let in, whoever they are here in the United States, there's a staggering crime rate, there's not even a home for those who are already here, public benefits are already overcrowded. who only want to give birth to children at public expense.

White people discrimate against other WHITE PEOPLE - just talk to any descendants of the Irish or Italians who have ancestors who emigrated to US and Canada Even today - rich whites discrimate against poor whites - Yeah, this sounds crazy but the facts stand, - why are Blacks surprised with how they are treated ???

Ain't none of these people running away from what is happening in there country.. y'all give them a free pass to the so called American dream.. now they all feel entitled look what y'all did to the American people y'all can't even help us .. and have america looking like a 3rd world ???

Anyone who is criticizing these immigrants from wanting to come to America should ask them selves where did your grandparents or great grandparents come from? What situations were they in that they needed to flee from? Nobody wants to leave their home country. They’re desperate to do so because of war and crime. There is enough for everyone to be here. We have enough to help people. This is what the statue of liberty represents: help your hungry, and your poor. Even if we give them temporary refuge.

You all think that bad and harmful at the border. Wait till the American Citizens are confronted at shops stations and property/ homes. Once they know that all Biden promissed them they can't and want get the he lied. GOD HELP all the American Citizens, including those illegals who believed all the lies of Joe Biden and his administration. All illegals should turn around and go back where they came from. It ridiculous that they could even dream that anyone country can have or deal with such an influx and to be able to care for such vast chaotic people. ✌️

My people bn here 400 plus years cant get medical care or affordable housing but we got these immigrants flooding over here and having there babies free of charge and getting low income housing, amongst other things and there not even citizens and cant even speak English, im not for it because theres no way someone could go to there country and go to the front of the line. Shameful and i dont support it at all. I went to my post office recently and they had the nerve to employ a woman who couldnt even speak english at the post office counter, wtf is goin on.

We are screwed. The USA cant even take care of our own. Get ready to pay for peoples healthcare & food.We will lose they will win.Our so called president has his head buried in the sand. Chaos shall run amuck. ??. You are all brain washed. Time to think with minds not our hearts❤

Send there asses back. There government collapsed because of how they voted. They’ll vote the same way here too even though they have no rights because they are not us citizens but the corrupt democrats system will allow them to vote and get all free stuff out of our social security fund which is why most people won’t be able to retire until they are 70+

Yes! Let them all in! Even though our people are dying to drugs that come from their countries! Yes! Let all the men in even though they repeatedly rape and kill our women and children with no consequence! Yes! Let them all in even though most of them will never earn a single cent though working just collecting government subsidies paid by us, the people who can barely afford to replace our own brake pads or even our cars! Yes, yes yes yes! Destroy this country! Why come in this country legally when you can just hop the border and have an achor baby then start collecting checks for doing, NOTHING!

The thing is, these people have no legal right to entry, regardless of their circumstances. 99% of those charging the boarder are economic migrants with no valid claim to asylum. Making it here (or past the boarder) doesn’t equal being able to stay here. The house will very likely flip to the Republicans in 2024. With even a possible super majority. As will the presidency. This means that most of these people will face mass deportation. And all their struggles to get here will have been for naught.

I’m not sure when entitlement to illegally cross US borders became so high. I can’t fathom what these people went through or what they even had to go through to even reach the border, I’m sure they’re desperate and famished but there must be some other solution than just opening the borders.

This would never be allowed in any country, so why should we pay the price. No room, no more handouts. Stop luring people with cash incentives. The crime rate is excessive now due to lawlessness of the new transplants. I can’t even go to the grocery store in peace because of the loud outbursts from people don’t even speak English. Name any country that would put up with Americans coming into their country hanging the American flag in a their country, and not learning the language spoken by the people of their country. Disrespectful! Welcome to our self caused invasion and takeover, compliments of our supposed to be leaders.

?? should take care of the ones who have been In this country for years paying taxes and having NO criminal record. ?? is such a joke letting these new people come in for free while putting us hard working ones a side. We give our all for this country in hopes to one day get accounted for and receive some type of status yet they make it even harder and prefer to deport us but give new opportunities to these new immigrants whom they don’t know nothing about? what a shame

I don't think they're doing this to be charitable to families, none of this even appears to be normal over the years. They can't house them, or our own people. Something tells me they're waiting to use these people for something, and they got no clue what they're really crossing over into. There's just no conclusion you could come to that's just being charitable if it's messing up all of our lives no matter who you are.

Even if they get through the border, what's next? What are they going to do in the USA, most of them doesn't even know how to speak in English. Why these people even go there? Someone is selling them a false dream.

I feel horrible for people dedicated their lives to becoming US citizen and all the sacrifices they made to just see something like this happen. I feel even worse for what's happening to females on this trip here.... This is wrong on so many levels

Honestly I feel so bad for any immigrant trying to escape the harsh life on the other side, hoping you'll find peace once you leave, it hurts seeing these people, most of them just want a good life, to be able to give that to their kids, Mexico has gone to shit, the rich don't suffer like the rest, they have protection, while the rest have to suffer from idiots who want power, their president doesn't even care about their people, it's horrible, it's not safe for them especially the children, I hope one day they can be happy.

If these people are using asylum as their reason for leaving their own countries of origin why are they not applying for asylum in the first country that they invaded that does offer asylum protection, Instead they travel straight thru to invade our country and burden Americans and selfishly block legal entry immigrants and selfishly block all Americans homeless in the streets because of their willing to work for less wages disruptive to Americans from being able to support ourselves house ourselves because resources designed for helping us has been diverted to illegal aliens invading our country because the truth is that it's an invasion from 150 some odd countries and even housing is using excuses to remove Americans from participating in housing aid for the soul purpose of creating space for them by ousting Americans from taxpayers dollars design for being used on us

She’s ?correct, be it liberal or conservative, racial hate and discrimination against African or black people is something that is built into the western culture. I live here in California, a liberal state as it claimed, but the racial discrimination,terrorism, gang stalking, psychological warfare, harassment, bullying, discriminatory targeting, surveillance assaults ( 24hr ground and aerial tracking both inside my house and everywhere in public), and the high level smear campaigns I have suffered for over 7 years since 2016 till today in the hands of police and their domestic terrorist organizations that operate as security agencies is something unimaginable, alarming and quite destructive to have deal with in one’s life. I hope our people listen to her warning. if only they know what I have suffered with my children having everything ruined in my life for moving into a house in a neighborhood I shouldn’t have moved to as a black person and driving a car they believed I don’t deserve to drive as a black woman, as such they criminalized me, targeting and and terrorizing me ever since everywhere till today even after I have filed complaints several times with videos of the attacks the police and these domestic terrorist groups are carrying out on me to several agencies that deals with racial issues , discrimination, civil rights violations etc including the Governor’s office, FBI, DOJ, etc, and have gone to the police for them to do background checks on me to clear my name thinking they could be mistaking me for someone else and they have confirmed to me several times that I am innocent and clean, but they wouldn’t leave me alone. Instead they have continued in their illegal surveillance and terrorist attacks they are carrying out on me which makes me believe I’m being racially targeted and the ongoing attacks on me are malicious and racially motivated for no other reason than I’m black and African.

She should just relocate her life will be better. Alberta is generally western and backward like some old Alabama. Even the Cree natives face the same treatment. Most people are ignorant. There’s a reason blacks naturally settled in the better province of Ontario, Quebec if you’re French speaker and British Columbia. Also New Brunswick Nova Scotia is still better than that cold Calgary.

The more than enough for everyone many can’t see that cause of all the bs our government put in our heads that how messed up humanity is we’re people can’t even do the the right thing

*I guess no one is mentioning the most absurd fact here: THESE PEOPLE ARE FROM VENEZUELA!!!?? Venezuela is 2700 MILES and TEN COUNTRIES AWAY from El Paso! That means that 100% of these people are not asylum seekers nor refugees, they are economic migrants and have ZERO right to even attempt entry in to America legal or otherwise, as they have traversed across 10 SAFE COUNTRIES where their asylum needs were met. And starting off the first seconds of your entry in to a host country by molesting its National sovereignty and disregarding its laws makes you a scum fuck who doesn’t deserve to be here. If you really needed asylum, you would go to the next safe country. The moment you are safe and choose to go further, is the moment you are no longer a refugee or asylum seeker, but a greedy selfish chooser pretending to be a beggar. The irony is, america takes in MORE LEGAL MIGRANTS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH AS IT IS. The only people who benefit from our failing immigration system/border are the elites who get an unending supply of cheap labor to throw in to whatever thresher they need filled, and the illegal aliens themselves who just want money and don’t care whose society they have to stomp on to get it. And all it costs is basic rule of law, functional governance, a loss of fairness on the part of legal immigrants, clogged up systems for genuine refugees, and the native working class of America have to compete with foreigners for low skilled jobs and their taxes get siphoned off with every illegal migrant that enters the nation. Somehow no one in politics has the stomach to do mass deportation nor border defense, hmm I wonder why? (Looks over at elites’ thresher) If you are from Venezuela and claiming to be seeking asylum at America’s border, WHILE STANDING IN MEXICO where you could seek asylum and choose not to, then you’re a liar and a piece of shit. These hordes of fighting age men raping my country make Trump look better and better by the moment. Sincerely, a left winger whose tired of this fuckery.*

That’s not the right way by force only gets everything worse on them people think is just to come here and everything will get fix. It takes a lot of work and years to build a good life. I think honestly I will not risk my family the way they did bringing my kids. Is a long way to put em in danger the good people chose to stay I their country even if life is hard they don’t put family in danger. I feel very sad for all and we pray for everyone I hope god have mercy In all of us

Everywhere around the world where Europeans colonized and destroyed the native people is based on white supremacy. The laws created in all of these places benefit the white citizens. Thats Canada, the US, South Africa and others. Remember native Africans have not so long ago been able to go to the beaches without being harassed by white people. But what gives them the advantage and keeps them in power is the fact that they are very good at spreading lies and stereotyping every group thats not white. And in doing so, teach every minority to fight against each other (some even defend white supremacy as long as they dont think it will affect their own race. White supremacy affects us all in a negative way.

Black people don't even like black people.

This is what happens when you allow people to break immigration laws for decades. Now they don’t even pretend to care about the law.

I’m using my daughter’s account and came across this. Not true. Lived all across Canada. Maybe the people she encountered but not even close to my experiences at 54. From Jamaica.

Why do black people have to force white people to love them? Do black people love Asian and Hispanics? Why can't Black Americans create your own successful communities? Even Africans in Africa are standing up with backbones against the western oppression. Black Americans need to grow a ball. ?

White people so busy hating the black community they can't even see the evil in thier own people..witch is far surpassed any evil in any other race. .facts God knows..

If I am not wrong the kirpan is only used by Sikhs to protect the honour of people around them or themselves. Sikhs are actually very nice people. My older boss used to carry kirpan even into the office. We never felt any concern but we did feel protected

I dont know why the heck everybody seems to hate black people, even immigrants like us, however what is still difficult for me to understand is black people hating themselves, like Jamaicans hating Africans! Dude i will never get to understand that! Crazy wicked godless World we live in!

Im mexican and Im sick of immigrants. Our country doesn't have the resources to take them in, and a lot of them just cause harm to our people, robbing and even hurting them, like the guy that hit a kid with a brick in the head ? not to mention, they are ungreteful af, they complain that they get beans to eat. I totally get why americans don't want them there

All I can say to this sista is Thank you because folks she is speaking the truth. Canada the country as a whole has high levels of anti-blackness not just in Edmonton and not just by white folks. The worst thing is the others minorities or so called POC groups ally up with white against black people and it is a nationwide issue that we definitely need more people speaking up about their experiences. In addition to the fact that even Canadian Descendants of Slavery get discriminated against from our own black brothers and sisters who have come from other countries.

It rough on black people in Anchorage Alaska getting jobs back in the 90s fir sure,I use to live there they even put false violations on my driving record, and I have a commercial driving license and couldn't keep a job due to my skin color.

Anything north of Boston, you got to be a damn fool to live there, but black folks do it to themselves. Can’t tell them nothing, so I don’t, and I don’t stick up for the ones who willingly put themselves in bad situations. Whether it’s creeping in the hood or having the insatiable need to be amongst those people knowing damn well they hate you. I’m not even going to ask why because I don’t care honestly. Do you and be held accountable for your own actions??‍♂️

Even in Africa they mean, but use the wealth gap as an excuse as to why like that and only talk to rich Black people like humans.

Sadly with this type of chaos you need to do something impactful to make people fear coming over illegally. Make an example of a few and it will deter this from happening. Our policies are too lenient and this is why our country is falling apart. We made it where the criminals get everything and the regular citizens are victims and can’t even do anything to retaliate. We were given the rights to protect ourselves but our weak government has decided to take that right away and made it that if you kill a trespasser who is coming to hurt you you yourself goto jail. Need a stronger leadership. America has become soft

Who the Hell do they think they are ?! We can't even help the people we have struggling to survive here ! We can't take in EVERYBODY who wants in ! We need to get the democrats/progressives the Hell out of Washington before its too late !

This is why we need to build something similar to Hadrian's Wall, at our border. Invaders, & barbarians need to be repealed, not welcome into our country, which can not even support its own native born citizens! Need I remind people that if we truly wished to take this seriously, an act of war is within our rights to declare, due to this force of illegal invasion. Perhaps we should look into such options if no peaceful resolution of diplomacy can resolve this conflict.

Most of those people aren’t Venezuelan ? Racist ass CNN can’t even tell

Animals demanding their way into my country. I say immigration starts to randomly check people identification even the obvious US citizens so nobody gets their feelings hurt. Think of all the new jobs being created for ice.
