Hey according to Pubs that our border’s were open. They need to see what’s really going on.

Hahaha you really should vote for trump

This is sickening when I see guys at work with new SUV’s and their (wife) not really married! On government assistance and qualified to get a new condo for less than any hard working American can . Something is wrong!

Wait so why a mass of people trying to cross the borders?\n\nI just looked it up, so basically there is a rumor that it was migration celebration or something where they would be allowed to migrate freely. In order for them to seek asylum, they must schedule in advance through an app, which I find it weird. The app however is very glitchy, so a lot of problems here. Some of these people have traveled far away believing this rumor. Reason why people are trying to cross so they can escape poverty and violence in their home country. Sad really.

We really need that wall

Most of your information about the UK is quite wrong really. Would be best for you to do better research when it comes to these topics. Peace!

Had we ever wonder way are they running from there country wat really happening way so many people escaping or something else is coming wat it is hoping that we don't go the same way or might end up like them ???

It is really sad but the Grass always seems Greener on the other side I love the united states but I feel like it's not truly a free country anymore and you don't have to kill yourself to come here to be happy thing's are always difficult it's how you handle it

People should understand American isn’t a dreamland anymore. Move to Australia, there you can really have an opportunity .

You must be really desperate to go to Canada. I would give them an award just to arrive so far north.

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.

We have such a porous border in Canada. Problem is Justin Trudeau and his pack of corrupt Liberals want more and more “refuges” not skilled....with an education coming into Canada. You see....people who vote Liberal are morons...the “free stuff” they get from the Liberals are paid for with more and more Liberal taxes. Liberal voters think Justin dips into a trust fund or something...yes Liberal voters are really that stupid....they don’t realize more Liberals mean more wasteful taxes. So Justin wants refugees...who he can put on welfare for their lives, become citizens, AND bring in dozens of their relatives to begin the process again....why because they vote Liberal in perpetuity. We are never going to break this cycle. Where is the line to emigrated to the United States.....oh, I’m educated with a masters degree. Not valued in Canada, because I was born here, and I’m white....I feel so ashamed!

It's because of Biden you know the worst president ever when shit really hits the fan I hope the worst president is why you're seeing this dump reports

Really feel bad for these people but we have our own problems to deal with we don't need anymore people coming threw

But really how do u stop this.

wow CNN is really stupid

Before everybody so quick to blame immigrants for trying to cross the border let me try to tell you the reason why they're trying to cross the border you see they're trying to get away from loss of the poor really don't have a choice it's either join the cartel or get forced into it people don't really know how brutal the cartel is I've seen how brutal they are they have decapitated you fed people to dogs and have beaten and skinned people that goes for any gender both men and there was also the case where a cartel made a young kid into a hitman

This is really sad,but all these things are ?? Gouberment's faults by inviting them to come over if they have a sponsor,so now They'll come with or without it. People don't understand that We are struggling to make a living ourselves already here,Jesus!

But is America really yours to keep them out? A lot of those people ancestors(Native Americans) were forced south by the colonizers they just want what’s rightfully there’s ?

US fucks around in central and south american countries governments and interests for 2 centuries then clutches their pearls when half a million a year want to come and join the underclass that props up so many areas of their economy. Really classy

Why are all those people fleeing their countries for? Never understood that part really

Republicans keep advertising this “open border” bs. So they’re basically inviting migrants to come over thinking they’ll really be able go gain entry. The “open border” propaganda only invites thousands of migrants to rush to the border

They say immigrants take advantage of America but it’s Americans that take advantage of immigrants paying them low wages and work all day with minimum breaks and mandatory overtime but with straight pay not time and a half or benefits cus they know that they’re undocumented and can’t go to the labor board and say anything so who’s really using who ?

Thanks joe, you really know how to help the American people…

Desperate people do desperate things, and may take absurd risks out of fear. These people, PEOPLE, are likely terrified of what happens to them in the lawless cartel-controlled border areas... Scenes like this that demonstrate such desperation break my heart. \n\nI don't think anyone watching this would do anything different if their choice was between trying to escape exploitation, robbery, rape, and murder, and getting arrested by Americans who will, at least, respect their human rights (mostly).\n\nDo people really think that any significant proportion of these poor, dispossessed, desperate people, and their children, are criminals trying to infiltrate and take advantage of the US, rather than hoping and praying for a place to live, a decent job, basic dignity, and some safety and human rights?\n\nBut, y'know, let's be honest. There are a lot of Americans that only see brown people 'invading' 'our land'... I wonder how Native Americans feel about this, eh? (Seriously, I'd like to know... Anyone?)

Biden … why are we seeing this right now? CNN u really have to ask that?

You really struggled to cut with a katana in a previous video. What was the minor adjustment you had to make compared to a european long sword?

During the 1930's media in various countries made immigrants and asylum seekers out to be this horrible thing and demonised them. This came after a huge recession in 1923, the Wall Street crash, and the subsequent dramatic rise of far right parties in various countries, specifically Italy, then Germany and Spain. \nFast-forward to modern times. 2008 saw another global recession. Once again politics swung massively to the right with countries like Italy (once again), Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden, voting in right wing governments, France ending in a run off that narrowly defeated the far right, Belgium and Spain looking likely to be heading into heavily right wing governments at the next elections, whilst the US and UK governments both saw their politics swinging far further in that direction, especially the UK right now whilst led by an unelected leader who is demonising people in ways that would make Trump look soft. One of themajor rallying calls: immigration. The way media report on this becomes increasingly demeaning and hateful. During the 1930's much of the European media and even as far as the UK was ramping up the scorn against the ever increasing influx of Jewish immigrants coming from Germany. Even into 1944 there was a vast amount of demonisation of them seeking asylum, despite the knowledge by this point that there were horrific conditions in camps where extermination was becoming ever more apparent. The Nazi German government in 1936 passed laws that enabled them to revoke citizenship and stripped away laws on human rights. It would be great to say that these poor souls who were being demonised in their own country were accepted into nations who could see what was going on and who wanted to help, but that just wasn't the way it went. Media played out as it is now, leading to rejection and a greater number of deaths as a result of this. The way the UK government is currently working, it actually sounds like the maxi government of the mid 30's during the time of the Nürnberg laws. \n \nThe world feels far smaller now with double the amount of people and with things like social media playing a huge role in the lives of many. The ease of access to people around the world has made issues seem to stretch to far more countries now, whereas back then it was a time of empires. I get that there will be many here who support Trump, many who support Biden, there will be Brit's who support Sunak and the rather vicious words of Suella Braverman, whilst others will be more on the side of Starmer (I'm well aware of all the other parties but they don't stand to gain as much). There will be French people backing Macron, whilst others back Le Pen. We could go through each country all the way to the battle between Fujimori and Castillo in Perú, and the stories are much the same, but how will history judge us when people look back to this time? Will it be another occasion where we demonised those trying to escape the horror of the place they had the bad luck to be born in whilst we were luckier? \n\nI know there is hardship everywhere. I'm struggling more than most and I know I can't keep living this way. However, I don't want to be a part of history people look back at and say ‘if only they did something to help prevent this.’. I would rather be a part of history people look back upon and say; ‘that was a boring time period where nothing important happened’. It's already too late for that. Instead I try to remember that, though I was born into a family who never really wanted me, I was lucky enough to be born into a country that could support me during the hardest times. When you look at immigrants, remember that every one of us has immigrants in our family tree somewhere.

Set up guns on the top of the border wall........\n\nReally really big f****** guns

I am a telecom engineer I came to Canada in 2019 as a master student. I accepted to work as cable technician but what is really strange that all my community were happy that I am able to find a job in technical sector! Although i am over over qualified!\nI applied for pr since 2021 until now no answer!

Joe and Kamala gabe them a really good idea to do that ???

Canadian here, and this video is right on the money for some of the most frustrating things about Canada! \n\nOur proudest achievement is our healthcare system, but up until recently, the government has been choking it little by little. Making it so difficult for any Doctor/Nurse to even consider finding work here (and making it impossible to afford getting a medical degree) because you are literally doing it for the love of the game at this point. \n\nEven if you become a specialist in a specific field (which pays really well compared to most careers here) it is unlikely any hospital will hire you. Our hospitals are only interested in making profits by pushing painkillers on Canadians, rather than hiring medical professionals to help fix them. If you become a family Doctor, it is a bit better, because you can open your own practice. But kiss your social life goodbye if you do! The most annoying part of this problem is some people blame all this on the fact that we have healthcare and assume a private American system would be better. Where the real problem is we need more workers and funding into our healthcare to make it better. Not making lives harder for poorer Canadians!\n\nWeirdly enough our Tax system issue didn't stand out as a problem to me until I left Canada and see how taxes are marked elsewhere! It blew my mind that I didn't have to do math when I visited another country and the way we advertise wages is purposely deceptive! In Ontario, we succeeded in getting a $14 hour minimum wage (only in Ontario and maybe one other province). Which sounded amazing until you realize that's $14 without tax... To compare, I was incredibly lucky in Toronto where I found a place for 750 a month and was earning $16 an hour. Sounded like more than enough for the cost of living, but after taxes I was pretty much putting more than half my monthly income in rent. On top of that I had to pay for student loans and other bills. \n\nBottom line, if you are wanting to move to Canada for our beautifully scenic environments, free healthcare, and a stable job? \n\nMove to Finland.

Ya they need to put that energy into fighting for their own country and make it better... makes you really appreciate all the men who died fighting for our constitutional rights...

The sad part is if they do cross they won’t be in a better situation. Constantly looking over your shoulder to be deported, no housing, no jobs. It’s a shame really.

WHY ARE BORDER GUARDS NOT SHOOTING? Just STOP this…\n\nIf these ppl insist being under United States rule, then it’s time for them to be ruled: It’s time to colonize these home countries if it’s really this bad. \nThe United States of America, should also have the Loyal Colonies of America.

Sun really began to set over British Empire. I pity the spineless Englishman.

These people don't know what it really means to be an American. We don't know if they are terrorists, Venezuela is for Russia. We need to close the border fully.

Come on anybody out there really want to tell me that this is not an invasion are you as brain-dead as Biden has

If you can do all that hep your fked up country really getting sick of getting all the cowards from all over the world it’s time to have a stand n here we are putting it on America like it’s on us

Wow, the border is really safe...good job Brandon

Did she really just ask why are we seeing this right now?? I think that's the first time CNN has asked a question about the border since Brandon's been in office.

Sad really, that the richest, by far the wealthiest, nation in the world couldn’t let those poor people in and house and feed them (the human basics). Heart breaking when it’s money above human lives.

This is communist propaganda. If you want to understand this video, you first need to realize that all video exists within a given context.\n\nThis video shows people who are “in a panic.” It doesn’t show people who calmly travelled thousands of miles at their own expense, to get to the U.S. border.\n\nAre you going to stop people who are in a panic? You must be a really mean white person. All white people are bad.\n\nThe video shows a mixture of Hispanics and Africans. In fact, the Africans had undertaken a long and very expensive route. First, they had to pay to go from Africa, to South America; and then they had to pay again to get from South America to the U.S. border. Professional Travel Agencies arranged all of this.\n\nSo these people are in no way “refugees”. But now, Washington D.C. claims that “refugees” and “migrants”and “dreamers” are all the same group. Therefore, American taxpayers must provide transportation, health care, food, housing, and employment to anyone who enters the United States for any reason. \n\nThat’s an invasion. \n\nDo you think it’s bad right now? Cuba, Mexico, and Haiti all plan to send fifty million more people to the U.S. within the next ten years. \n\nAfter the collapse, Asia will send another fifty million. So will India. The U.S. Army planned all of this. It’s an invasion from within.

I feel for them. I really do but where are they gonna go? People are struggling to find places to live who were born here plus all the homeless population. Where do these people think they’re gonna go? I know if I were born in a third world country I’d be wanting to get into America as well so it’s just sad all around to see

People really love America

Our federal government only has two real jobs: defend our borders and issue currency that people can trust. They are fucking up both pretty badly. We should encourage educated and employable people to immigrate. We don't really need any stone age peasant farmers.

good on ya Democrats ,,,really done a number on America now ,,you all deserve to be kicked out of the USA PERMANENTLY,,BECAUSE YOUR TRAITORS .

Looks really like an invasion to me. This would never happen in any other country and because of that we are weak. Going to lose the American privilege. I hope I’m really really wrong. With the amount of homeless and mental illness folk running around in the streets our money endlessly not helping due Democrats. I don’t know why any president would allow this to happen

The music is so districting and not really needed in your video. Shame that made me go

Listen to the reason.\nYou really think because there's land here that this country can support millions and millions of people at one time it will destroy what everybody is so violently try to get to. Their will be no jobs because there will be to many people, if there's very little money and way to many people they , us will have no money for rent there will be make shift cities just like the countries they are trying to get away from. This country will fall from to many people. Close the border let countries know there's no jobs build the wall
