So they're arrested and given a ride to another border crossing where they will be processed just like everyone else who's crossing? And the people who didn't cross at Roxham Road had to walk or pay for transport to get to the other location? Other than that, no actual difference, right? Still the same amount of people still coming in?

come for me in the comments if you want but this comes out of a place of pure love for everyone on this planet.\n\nMaybe instead of dropping bombs on people, sending arms to foreign governments that later bite you in the ass (Afghanistan), sanctioning countries that don't accept your views so bad that the average citizens suffer in misery, and interfering in other countries matters... maybe instead of doing all these, if the US and Western countries actually focused on helping their own citizens and do a little charity work here and there you won't have millions of people trying to come into the states running from other places YOU'VE HELPED TO DESTROY

Don't feel sorry for these people, they refuse work in Mexico. They actually believe that in U.S they will be given free housing, free food, money, and a free for all.\nMost of these people are rude, lazy criminals. \nKeep in mind that the Mexican president has offered them visas to remain in Mexico. They don't want to work. \nSend them back.\nThere's videos on YouTube of migrants demanding the government supports them, they actually say that they don't like to work.\nMexico has many programs for people who want to work.

hopefully they participate wholeheartedly and actually build some economical housing so I can find a place to live

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..

Lol get a load of that chicken wiring, try using actual barbed wire. Clowns in uniforms can’t even secure the little bridge properly.

i have couple friends already crossed they’re actually already working here and they have sent cars to mexico

I say lay radioactive waste at the border that will keep people from making it into the United States. Having so many people that aren’t background checked come in is really scary. Mexico needs to replace their president and actually get some balls and airstrike all the cartels then maybe talk about cleaning the waste up.

People who think this is about Republicans vs Democrats don't have a clue and are just going with their biases. Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any other president (more than Trump I believe), Trump stiffened up the border, and Biden made measures to actually make it tougher for these Venezuelan immigrants to get into the US once the migrant herd was moving north. This is a result of Venezeula and their economic collapse. If it happened sooner, it would've happened during Trump's time. I'm sure once Biden is out and a republican is president (looks that way), they'll try it again. Even Mexico doesn't want them since they have their economic issues to deal with.

Bro they ain't even Mexicans, most of them are from El Salvador, Venezuela or Guatemala, actually Mexicans kinda stop trying to get to the US as they use to

Ther only moving because of greed go to your own government like that and protest to actually make a difference for your own country

I'll bet new York and the other states that don't have to actually deal with it first hand are totally okay with it.

Should’ve listened to D.T. We actually need to build the Wall.

For all of them breaking the law, they need to be introduced to the business end of an actual assault rifle.

We are witnessing in real time the beginning of the end of the actual society

We got to take care of our actual American citizens first. If they want open borders then let american take control of these country's. We could make South America the production capitol of the world. They get free access to usa and we get stuff made there for cheap instead of supporting fucking china. Could boost there economy and build there nations up so future generations don't have to come to America. But no they just want to come be a strain on our systems without any long term plan for the future. Wow. Smh the whole American continent could be basically self sufficient. Never gona happen though. To much division.

Wow CNN actually covered this?

I'm American and i hate My government. I hate my family too actually. Bunch of lying manipulative scum. Open the boarder, give everyone social security numbers and fingerprint them. Or be stupid and racist. Thinking your doing well because your white and say you're all about Jesus. Dumb ass.\n\nIf Mexicans got absorbed into America, the cartel wouldn't exist anymore. But government is a fucking conspiracy.

Imagine the billions JB sent to Ukraine and spending it on actual Americans

Fuck them I was at the supermarket and I over heard a conversation that a lady from El salvador was happy because she got 1,600 in food stamps. I served the military for 8years fought the Iraqui freedom lost my job on December 2022 and I actually applied for food stamps and was denied even denied for medical insurance and these ppl wanna come in like nothing fuck no... send them to Ukraine those ppl from central America are savages.

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.

Biden actually called for this in a new interview.He said these people need to surge the border.\nBiden is a threat to the United States.

This isn't accurate, Australia's biggest export is boomerangs...actually that's their biggest import too.

Don't speak english have no education likely have criminal past (and statistically per capita commit twice as much crime as a citizen including human trafficking, drug trafficking, rape and murder) also poor I'm sure they'll be able to help our growing poor population that's grown so large we actually do a census for lol

my number 1 issue when i went on vacation was the food, like my gosh, I couldn't even drink the milk of how much fat it had, like, it was crazy! beagles were very sweet (which I actually liked BUT I cannot eat that everyday), it's just too much unbalance, and I was like 16... I wasn't a picky eater, so for me it was a big shock, I didn't have a healthy meal once that whole month I was there, and I was staying at my mom's friend with my mom, so it's not like I was at a hotel or something, they didn't sit down to have a family meal or cook home meal stuff for the kids even, it was just a big culture shock overall, and I personally did not rly enjoy it. When I went to visit my family in New Bedford, was pretty much the same thing, the food tasted super different, simple lettuce just didnt taste good, I mean this is my experience ofc, but the struggle with food taste was real xD

This is actually Black Friday footage from 2018

This is why PRESIDENT TRUMP called it an invasion, and rightly so. Should have used non-lethal tactics of tear gas and rubber bullets... Then used actual bullets.

Ngl it’s sad but also I don’t like Venezuelans they act all humble and crap once’s they’re in here they act like they where born here and like they the ? never met one that was actually humble so tbh idc bout them ??‍♂️

You should have trucks and actual barricades up with tanks if needed.

FJB\nget an actual not mentally I’ll president in office and get hard national border security

Canada actually has a stricter policy on refugees than the US. Although detention of asylum seekers is provided for under Canadian law, the criteria for its use appear to be tighter than in the US. In 2017(one year after Trump's administration), Canada had 6251 immigration detainees 2017 compared with 323,591 held by the United States that same year. And the US has insanely more cases of refugees than Canada. Canada's immigration policy has a preference for economic benefits, and the approval criteria for refugee claims are stricter too. Take a look at the Express Entry Programme. Most of the applicants have to get a master's degree to be granted a PR in Canada, but the US is more favourable on Family reunions or Refugees. Although Canada has its own problems, such as housing issues and a healthcare system that might worsen by increasing immigrants, in general, I think the US should learn something more on Canada's immigration policy which is on a talent basis.

Yes and if these people truly believed in God and Jesus they wouldn't run from their countries but actually stay on the ground and stand strong in their faith that God and Jesus are going to help them persevere through all this. As a fully disabled American citizen with a child that doesn't even get $1,000 a month and there's no available housing at all where I live no waiting list to go on people on SSI disability don't get any extra housing help we're not offered separate housing are put on separate lists and low-income Able Body people or the migrants jumping the Border but I was born and raised here paid taxes and worked until my body literally couldn't anymore but I don't hear anybody bitching and screaming and crying about the fact that my son and I would be on the streets if it hadn't been for one of my family members stepping up and giving his housing after a lifetime restraining order issued during my pregnancy on my son's biological do do with domestic abuse situation. I'm also US citizen that spent time in the Wards in Houston and projects and other cities and if you don't think that we don't have the same gun violence drug trafficking human trafficking gangs take it over cartels taking over neighborhoods and communities than you're freaking lying to yourself and everybody else. The same s*** that's taken over these countries is taking over the inner cities have been for decades and these are the same communities that most of these people will end up in. No it's not about not being good Christians part of being a good Christian is reminding people to stand their ground and have faith in Jesus and God and their own home territory and not to give it up to the crime people in the bad politicians. You can't say you believe in God and Jesus Christ and then he's got your back while you're running and that's the truth in the reality that nobody wants to hear the more people run from these countries the more the bad people are able to take over and then we get complaints here in the states about the cost attacks is rightfully so. For those people screaming and shouting that everybody should go out pick up in my grant and bring them home to their house and feed them and take them and I challenge you to do the same thing for homeless before you even do the migrant do homeless American citizens go out and really educate yourself because I'm totally tired of hearing from Americans that the only people that live on the streets are people with mental health problems that need mental health treatment or people that are stoned out and that's where they want to be you guys are so f****** wrong and this is coming from someone that met homeless people spent time around homeless people and understand we have a society that wants to paints a very different picture than what's truly going on because then it allows for hey it's not our problem they want to be there. I will say there's two I'm sure a lot of people are attracted to come into the United States I mean it's kind of turned into the Devil's Playground don't you think I mean look at how ostentatiously people live the projects on the backs of taxpayers selling dope holding down dead-end jobs to make it look like they're working all while going out and getting their hair did and their nails done and their eyelashes done and pimping out their cars and all that b******* and buying all this you know high-end tennis shoes and f****** clothing and Handbags and s*** and then we have the part of the United States that justified of themselves all the time or it's okay to have this huge palatial house or have multiple houses I'll we have United States veterans living on the streets or people that truly have disabilities that have been a waiting list for 2 and 3 years for housing. I remind people all the time and they hate hearing this s*** Jesus never had a house as a matter of fact Jesus basically live like a homeless person after he was an adult particularly and God made sure he was provided for. I mean did you all forget the night they came to take them away they were asleep in an Open Garden it wasn't like they popped up tents or glamper camper sites had some little Adobe type cabins they were sleeping in. As a matter of fact if you pay attention to most of the stories about Jesus and talking about him sleeping he does a lot of sleeping Outdoors. Remember God is a father that's how he's been represented and talked about in the Bible and Jesus was a man without a doubt no biological transgender question ability there. People need to remember that part of being a fair and loving. Is also teaching and discipline and these children following rules. I don't believe hearing God and Jesus telling all these people run from your countries and not have faith that I'm actually going to fix things for you and go run to somebody else actually go run to the United States where all those stuff is traveling through. I never understood the logic of that it's like rats run from the country where they're making the drugs to the country that supplying the globe with it and we're all of these bad people have thousands of people in planted everywhere with guns and hookups. I don't know why people don't understand that we have dirty lawn forcement in dirty politicians that are in bed with the dirty drug cartels that's as much as they are in the country. You don't think that there's not decisions made in the United States based on drugs and I'm not talking about how to put it into them but how to keep them flowing. I have Fred still in Florida and we were all making jokes about how quickly Sanibel Island all the way up to st. Pete got Mainland access so quickly after the last major hurricane that took everything down and we all know what it's from is because that portion of Florida is used to bring a lot of drugs in from South America, Central America. So for all of you that want to post your personal assumptions about homeless people because that's all it is unless you've actually been homeless or spent time around homeless you really have no clue what's going on in the homeless population except what you've been told by the same political talking head media bulshit that's been lying to everybody about a bunch of other stuff too. Don't you get it the politicians don't want people knowing that a lot of the people that are homeless on the street are people that are disabled and aren't disabled because they have mental health problems I know that's the narrative they've been trying to stuff down people's throats.

Shit must be pretty low in the south to actually still want to go to the States.

Wow. America is actually a mess.

Sad thing is many of them would actually appreciate America much more than a lot of its current residents.

Imagine thinking you're more entitled than the Mexicans, who actually do belong to this land. ?

Good job cnn for actually reporting this. Now I will wait and see how long it takes for you guys to report on tgr U.S Navy enforcing international waters and actively removing illegal Chinese fishing boats while China's navy standing ready. 3 days in counting and nothing from any media.\nOne little mistake...

We came for the free shit!!! But that actual Americans paying all the bills can barely afford shit. Wonder why we hate them

Wow is cnn actually going against there own narrative? Be ashame to report this and not blame the person responsible…???

This is so sad. Both sides of politics are just using this chaos to their advantage with no actual compassion for the people.

As an actual american psycho, with very little concern for the wellbeing of others, i say we put mounted machine guns at every checkpoint. Any illegals get mowed down

They will do your jobs for way less.and will actually work.which will benefit the companies that funded your politicians

America… for the love of God please start protecting OUR OWN borders instead of worrying so much about other country’s borders around the world!! The left is so worried about being woke instead of taking care of the Americans who pay for all of it. I’ve busted my A$& all my life to work hard and am tired of spending billions of dollars on foreigners who just abuse our systems and get free money, phones, places to live, medical care, food, etc. and act like we owe them. It’s bad enough we have enough actual citizens who abuse the system because they are too lazy to work and care for themselves. I’ve always been one to care for others but this crap has gotten out of control and I’m done. It also makes the US look like a bunch of weak SUCKERS!!!

This is an actual invasion

This is actually Americans fleeing the United States into Mexico.

its crazy these people are just empowered now thinking its their right to come in illegally. im not against immigration. im against people doing this and getting front of the line ahead of actual citizens

Sad but say Mexico help us understand n innerstand if this is actually true mf on news do just make shi up I mean this a distraction of what don't know but I don't believe most news someone set this up no way they walk n bust from Venezuela through all those other cities unnoticed until they got to bordering call bs

Their government needs to get their act together to make it a better place for them over in their own country. There is no way your people should have to flee their own countries to find whatever in another. Come on governments around the world and in America Step up actually do something useful and stop taking bribes and winking your eyes at wrong doings.

Aww border patrol had to do actual work besides harassing poor ppl and taking bribes?

Can't help but wonder how many drug cartels & actual terrorists are in that group of people. Borders need to step it up & start using more military before there's a group bigger than this.
