The United States can't feed the fucking world. They know that they can come here and get a bag from Jim Crow Joe and Catholic Charities. At the same time, every bill that United States Citizens pays has gone up and our taxes are being utilized to facilitate these people.

Here to kill our economy… These be the same people mad I don’t know Spanish… Why come here if they do not believe in American traditions or even learning English…

Welcome to Canada I know lots of people from here born and bread who have degree's in there field and working other jobs way under there pay grade so it's a Canada way ?

So what is it they told Venezuelan white people that they can come in unannounced.... So with white privilege all over the world they felt that they can just? bomb Rush the barriers. Black Venezuelans be where you going to be the last to come in know that.

Protect your country. As someone Who live in poor country I know it's my responsibility to buit my country and not transfer my problems to my neighbor. Trump told you which kind of people these illegal immigrants are He is 100% correct believe him. I know they are not hardworking and dadicated like some of us that's why they spend their time moving to imaginary paradise.

I have no problem with people coming here but do it legally us Americans aren't tryin to keep paying for all of you and none of you pay your fare share of taxes yo for real what the fuck type time are these dems on you know how dangerous that is do you understand how easy it is for Chinese or Russian splinter cells to enter the country like that do you know how easy it would be for them to blend in seeing that we're a country of multiple races of of people none of you think about that do you and it time for America to worry about its own backyard and mind our fucking business and get politicians out-of-office that have personal ties with other countries as far as personal profit gain

We have the same problem not with mexicans, but we have so many people that live on the streets any are English, I wish the Government would get their shit together, there are so many large homes that are empty and shops, I'm sure if they gave homeless paint and materials to fix the properties that they would be happy to make properties liveable, it's not just 10 or 20 i have seen 48 in the past month and must be in every area, I feel so sorry for these people they just want a better life, there's 10000s that come into our country illegally, probably because they tried many times to come here but refused,I wish I had the answer, I also wish I could post what I know to be true, but I can't,?

Oh, of course we wont take people in from Venezuela I wonder why that is … no I don’t wonder i Know why. So fucked up. The democrats only let in the ones who will vote blue!!

All the other people ruined it for these people. You know who too blame.

Wanna know how to stop all this bullshit? Very easy. A couple m60's with few thousand rounds mounted along border every 100 yards and just let the bullets fly as soon as anyone crosses that fence. God dam people it isn't rocket science. If the cost of illegal entry isn't greater than the cost of staying put in their own shitty country made shitty by those same people then they won't stop coming illegally. Have to make it not worth the trouble

Liar liar I know people there

This people is the liar. I don't know why Canada give it to permission for the state here this kind of people have a money head country.

What are they gonna do if they do get to the US? They can’t get a job, they can’t rent an apartment or buy a house let alone a car. And what are we just gonna give them free housing and food? Know how many people in this country are struggling as it is. This is my thought..The people that want these illegal migrants to enter the country so bad, should bring them into their own homes, let them sleep in their beds, eat their food, and use all their shit.

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.

sad to know usa spend like $$100 000 000 000$$ creating wars around the world and yet cant help its own people....

I know they're looking for a better life but what exactly is it that they're hoping to get after they get here? Say 10% of them have family in the country that if they get to them, they can then be fed, clothed, and sheltered.\nOk so now the other 90% come across both illegally and in this case aggressively feeling entitled but without any resources of their own.\nAgain the question is what are they expecting to receive in the way of assistance once they're inside the U.S.?\nSection 8 hud housing has enough problems finding housing for low income housing insecure Americans. The public Healthcare system is completely maxed out as it is! U S. Department of Agriculture has instituted EBT cuts in many places and warn of future funding shortfalls!\nI'm a leftie, a definite progressive Democrat and agree with absolutely nothing as regards any GOP policies, save this!\n\nAgain, what exactly is it that these folks are expecting to be provided to them by the government of a foreign country when the U.S. Can't take care of its own people at this point?\nI'm sorry but there are previously earned just entitlements and there is the earned nothing entitlist attitude!\n\nYou will give to me because I demand it!

Well I have heard rumors that the Citizens of Mexico have had enough of the cartels. Now this is coming from a source I’m not to trustworthy but it’s safe to know than not knowing. So I have heard that the people have been warned that starting today there where going to be groups a so called vigilantes going round warning store owners or anyone who owns business to close down their business at a curfew date. For if the see them open they will get lifted (kidnapped) and killed. Supposedly that the cartels want to start charging the elderly for their monthly pension funds (their way of social security benefits) also they want to start charging a fee for almost everything to the people. So maybe that’s why they are trying to escape the war that’s bout to happens with the mass vigilantes and the cartels they a war bout to start.

I know there’s people that need help but this just isn’t how it’s done. There’s a process and a reason for it. If your very first act is to break laws, you shouldn’t be here. Unfortunately there are women and especially children in the mix who really need help and protection but, as always, selfish men ruin it for everyone else.

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

If these Latinos would have been Black, the police officers would have pepper sprayed them, shot them, allowed vicious dogs to physically attack them and water hosed them. Why is it that the US government knows how to prevent Black people from crossing the boarders illegally, but they seem to be at a loss when it comes to Latinos.

Ummm they have guns for a reasons and bullets smugwhats funny to me all these supposed poor refugees dress better then almost everyone I know working class these people get here in brand new clothes new cars botching and moaning they are so poor yet their full of shit

All those people come to America we don't know what kind of people are there who's gonna help us the American lives in American we need Order in this country

Unless I can afford more people in a way that’s humane I will not open my doors to anybody period. Especially without knowing who they are first. It’s common sense. Close the border. Allow access to people who pass through some sort of humane quality system.

As a teen right now that has immigrant parents all I can say this is not what I expected from immigrants I know that they want freedom and a better life but this not what they should’ve done to get into America yes I know they struggle but you just can’t force yourself into getting what you want this is just wrong but I do wish the best for these people to be able to hopefully achieve a better future for themselves

This is nothing short of an INVASION AT OUR BORDERS!! I can guarantee you that if we had responsible voting laws in this country just as simple as having an ID and proving American Citizenship, we wouldn’t be having this problem. Democrats don’t want those laws, and Democrats DONT WANT TO STOP what’s going on at the border, bcuz these are votes for them. The most utterly ridiculous myth about voter ID laws is that they’re racist due to low income families not being able to afford them. ANYONE with common sense knows that BULL$Hit, bcuz literally every state in the US has programs that’ll provide FREE IDs and help to get there. It’s time to stop blaming the government, and start blaming those that are the cause of this, the VOTERS that put the POSs in office. The Fentanyl epidemic and the blood of those that have lost their lives, is on the hands of the same VOTERS. Time to focus and rally against the ones that are the REAL reason for all of this. In fact, let the numbers tell you what changed. Look at the #s before 1/21 and now. People may lie, but the numbers never do!

U can see the fear in them I can't even imagine fighting to stay alive from criminals like we all know them to be there, I can't Judge these people for fighting for their kids

I will say I have been lucky in Calgary (moved to Alberta in 2011; became perm res in 2018) with my healthcare. I have a great liver specialist and family doctor as well as a backup. I just fell and cut the back of my head Monday (2 staples but nicely done; I do not feel any pain). I know that is not common for people. I think some of it is timing based on the comments. It will only get better if we quit USing it (i.e. politicizing it). As an ex-pat watching that dumpster fire, moving to Canada in 2010 (first year in YVR) was the right step for me (however, that said, being that I am plain white looking male, I know that made it so easy at least until I applied for Perm Res. Then, being a white american worked against me). Luckily, I had been involved with a Canadian citizen several years whom sponsored me for Perm Res. I really enjoy seeing your POV in your videos. Thanks for posting them.

Let these people have CNN headquarters, we all know nothing good or true is going on in there.

I know so many people that came to this country legally they deserve to be here you do not.

I'm homeless, Navy Veteran and work full time. If housing programs can't help homeless Americans, how can we help immigrants. I want a home too. Update: I'll elaborate more on my situation. I served for four years. I lost my job as an Uber driver in 2018 after my car got repossessed. I live with my fiance who has PTSD from her family upbringing. She tries to work but she doesn't last long. We have gone to 3 different housing programs and they prove to be unhelpful. You make too much money from working they can't help you, if you make too little money they can't help you. WTF!!! All housing that is offered is usually in areas that are in high theft and homeless areas. People steal from you and you up right back in the streets. One program helped me become a fully trained security guard. We have also been in two car accidents, none were our fault. But now I'm stuck just living in a car and working full time. After I work all night I drive around at gas stations, asking people for money for gas and food. Every check I get goes to gas, food and bills. We manage our money wisely. Our money last a day and then we have to go straight back to asking for money again. Everyone I have asked for help is always a broken promise. I don't know what to do anymore.

Wait didn't you guys at CNN&MSNBC always said the borders are secured? Why would these people want to come to America? Don't they know, in accordance to CNN&MSNBC we are a racist country?

People have been coming over legally for a long time now but not like this and I believe the reason why is because they know we have a weak president and Vice president! Here we are trying to help out Ukraine secure their borders from the Russians when we can't even protect our own!

The democrats are deplorable for doing this. These people will be a drain on our resources as well as we don't know ANYTHING about them. Biden cares more about the votes he's going to get from these people than the people that were born here!!!

This kind of stuff is exactly why we need to finish the border wall and let Border Patrol Police do their jobs!! All these politicians with their crap that these people are “asylum seekers” when they know damn well it’s the cartels and drug dealers forcing women and/or children to claim they’re a family and want in the US. Meanwhile the woman has a couple bricks of heroin, or fentanyl, or meth and God only knows what else up in her vagina and there’s bricks n whatnot in the babies diapers and/or under the lining of a car seat, etc!! Imagine you live in Texas and this giant group comes running into your neighborhood, you will be scared, I have no doubt!!

People in america are hardly surviving themselves ,why bring in more people? More importantly people who brings in no economic gain for the country ,also people should know the difference between illigal and legal migration. Also knowing this america should stop talking about imagration of illegal muslims in some countries in europe ,they don't join other richer muslim countries and cross 2 or 3 countries and illegally try to enter some countries. .and usa be like hey thats bad ..lol mind your own damn business and look into your own border problems

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 are not Mexicans. And the Mexicans know it too. These are not their people from their country. Some came further down South America, Central America, Cuba, Haiti, and many others.

Don't these people know we are racist and awful and will make life unbearable for them?

I'm getting my guns ready! Shit... I ain't playen around. Fuck with me and my family and find out! I already know what they've been doing in south Texas on people's ranches..... I'm not taking any chances! I'm just a drive away from the border.

Lmao people try so hard to get into the USA illegally… and now people want to get out. That’s how you know things are getting bad here ?

Don’t these people know that America is full of white supremacists? And there’s no way that there’s no hope for a future? They’re going to be oppressed and not given equal opportunity to the white supremacists?

I wonder how officer Mendoza feel doing that to his own people, knowing that his coworkers are talking shit about him behind his back.???

I’m shocked this is even being mentioned …. There are people regularly jumping the fence and running across freeways …. It’s almost a daily news update here in El Paso the latest police chase that happens everyday… cars drive into a house flip over in a ditch or off a mountain always smugglers fleeing here. But the more people know the more they realize so can’t let them know….. our freeways have signs that say watch for pedestrians just normal life here now theses signs in middle of main freeways??‍♂️

What's happening in Venezuela, South America countries ?. \n THAT needs to be considered and addressed. \n Other than these people \nThere are other people from other countries who are taking refuge from war. \n \n It's more complex than what we know. \n \n What would Jesus do? \n for the HIGHEST GOOD OF ALL...\n" Compassion is the way to our Future. "\n \n The Whole \nof life is Struggling \nupon the planet ??. ? ✨ ? ?

close the border for good do what ever it take once and for all this is ridiculous how in the hell is this country supposed to be safe these people have no documentation we don’t even know if they’re gang members. The US government really needs to wake the hell up this country’s going downhill.

You know what pisses me off? I'm 60 yo and all my life this has been an issue. 60 years! You wanna know why? Because if they fix it they have NO PLATFORM to get people riled up with promises of doing something about it...and then don't. And we keep voting for the promise.

This is so wrong, disgusting, and sad on so many different levels man ..what the fuck is the world come too...these people can't even survive in their own countries so they try to come to ours...mean while ..ours has been going down the toilet more and faster then people know or realize...addings hundreds of thousands of more broke immigrants is just going to make it worse and harder on every single American and their families, regardless of race .. because guess where the money comes from to pay for these people when we can barely get by as it is? Yup out of our pockets...keep making the broke broker your sick ass people...we are all doomed ..we need trump and we need him now ..we need actual changes...this is not it...they need to take some of our money and put it into better border security and protection for the love of our people and country...and y'all are just letting it go to hell..

Sad pet is they hate there own country enough to leave it but yet they come to America and bring the lifestyle shit that they hated with them to our country and now Florida is filled with people that came to this country not caring to learn our language just expect us to know Spanish in America where we’re taught English not Spanish.

Damn I didn’t know you can invade a country like that. I wish I could just walk into any country I like and get paid for doing so. What a weird concept to keep people like this out

For people saying Americans can’t even find homes Lol do you know how many houses are vacant in nj and ny as investments ? Enough to solve world hunger and homelessness
