They come all the way here to sit outside a home depot. Literally\nedit: they don't pay taxes because they're ILLEGALLY WORKING NOT PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE LIKE THE REST OF US REAL AMERICANS. GET EM OUTTA HERE OR GO THROUGH THE PROCESS TO BECOME A REAL AMERICAN TAX PAYER.\nNOT A TAX PAYER=NOT AN AMERICAN.\nTHEY'RE STEALING FROM US. ANY AMERICAN WHO DOESN'T AGREE IS NO DIFFERENT THEN THESE THIEVING COCKROACHES.

Born and raised in the USA and I am homeless wtf are these people thinking they gonna come hear and take what little we have left or are they going to get the Dream package from joe Biden . FJB.

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.

Remember an American jumps a turnstile in a subway they get arrested and sent to rikers , this has to stop you jump or force your way through our border you should go to jail and be sent back after finishing your jail sentence , not rewarded with free medical and housing !!

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!!!

We are going to become Venezuela real soon. Get prepared

It sucks they can't make their home countries home and think America is the answer. Meanwhile, America itself is going to sh-t, and it’s only a matter of time before the American people revolt. Ironically, some Americans choose to live abroad because they hate the system here. Get ready to be taxed and overcharged for every living expense. There is no mercy for any worker in the US.

God bless the women in that area they're going to need all the help they can get

People, you don’t think that all that is because of the policies abroad ? If you make it impossible for them to leave in their home country, where you think they are going ?In Haïti for example, look who this government chooses to support : »Ariel Henry ». A guy whom they accuse in the plot to kill our last elected president… You refuse for that country to have its army, insecurity everywhere , hunger etc where do you want them to go? Change foreign policies. Help countries get better and see if it will not be different. Everyone loves their home, everyone. Home is home.❤

The US owes the world for the governments have been active part in the suffering of these people, making wars, sponsoring corrupt leaders so US companies can exploit their land. Now the US wants to invade Mexico, the country which can help against the immigrants, well there you go, mwxico won't do anything now and we will see who gets invaded first ???. American people are responsible for the leaders they elect and keeping them accountable, NO MORE WARS, NO MORE GRINGO SPONSORED CORRUPTION

This is why we need to secure our borders, it's just going to keep on happening until we get serious about it!

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. I live in El Salvador, but I've been thinking about moving somewhere in North America. The US is cool but, I don't want to run across all of the salvadorans who are already there LOL, I want something new. Also, I'd like to still live in, or at least not very far away, from the Americas. I'm too lazy to go to Europe, and have to learn the language there, sorry, I already speak Spanish and English well enough. Only Japan, or Brazil may change my mind, language wise (my Portuguese is enough so I could get by, and I'm also a Japanese music aficionado).\n\nOn the other hand, I love dressing very flamboyant, and, seeing how Canadians wear in the winter, with those huge sweaters and winter clothing, I wonder if it's the place for me ? (I know, that's a very ridiculous concern), also, I don't know if I'd get used to long winters. I've always said I don't like Salvadoran heat, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to trade that for Canadian winters.

Woah ? .. What happens after they get into America though? They can’t all have places to go. Are they just homeless at that point?

Look at em go ? hopefully they all get in we need some new gangs and some new drug's lol plus it's a tone of cheap labour ? go go go get in there...

Ahhhh they made it just in time for WW3 and they can also get nuked with us pedophile supporting baphomet loving indoctrinated Americans because we are going to get what we deserve for cowering in the face of adversity and listening to the lies of politicians.

It's such b******* that our country doesn't put a stop to this b*******. Americans are having a hard enough time as it is with housing, rent, food, we are just getting COVID under control - These other countries don't vaccinate. Folks can't read English, they want to drive, they don't get insurance - sorry I'm against it I think the border wall needs to go up and stay up, increase border security -They don't respect our laws.

Wtf hell nahhhh get the hell out of here if we tried that crap to Venezuela, any other country, America’s will be detained and placed in prison who do they think they are all these migrants coming over here, rushing into our United States like if all of us want to work to take care of them get the heck out of here with that craziness!!!! if we try to run into another country, that shit is dead I don’t see why we don’t do the same thing we don’t got the money and the taxes to be paying to put these people in prison…nor do we want them here. \nMigration is the Trojan horse in America that’s what’s going on they trying to overpopulate us and distinguish our finances to kill our country and our economy

Before I used to be like let them in but as I got older f that yall don't pay no taxes come here get free housing work under the table keep yall money while we pay for u to live here f that go back foh

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..

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.

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!

Bruh. These people are running from a war torn country. I don't get why people are so pissed about these guys doing this. Sure it's illegal. Sure it uses resources. But uhh. It's our own governments fault for not using our taxes to pay for the things we need when we're in need. I could see the outrage if this was happening with people from other countries that have no constant violence going on. But these people are scared for their lives.

Go get the manuretruck....

My best friend started her immigration process in 2017. She was finally green lit to come to America in 2019 after marrying her long time husband over in Europe and then getting the paperwork done here in the US during that time Covid hit, and when they closed all the borders, they stopped all of the immigration process to America meaning that she was stuck in Europe away from her husband for three years. Finally last year after making her go back through the process getting all of her paperwork re-done, paying another $5000 she was able to come to the US just last month she got the start of her paperwork for her green card to work here in the US and become a full US citizen. It’s been a long process. It infuriates me that people like that who are honest, hard-working people who want to come to the US and start a life after being married, proven to have jobs and want to pay taxes and support a system. That’s willing to take them in get held up because of people like this want to come here illegally Big cause of whatever the reasons are trying to circumvent and skip over the people who are trying their hardest to do it the right way in the first place, dust dragging the system further down.

Get the hell out of here and go home,!!! They have no desire to vet at all. They'll just come here and disrespect us and turn our country into shit.

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.

And now they get in and apply for all this shit that we as tax payers fund. People cant even afford an apartment where tf do they think they are going?

I am not against immigration but the fact of the matter is this in this country aren’t going well even for its own citizens. Homelessness is up, inflation is up, unemployment, gas and groceries are up. The average American has to make a choice every month wether they get to feed their family or catch up on bills. We need to improve our infrastructure some cities are literally falling to pieces. We need to fix our country just like these folks need to do to their home country, running from the problem won’t fix it.

This is the thing guys we are have the highest inflation ever in at least five decades, we have poor American citizens living on the streets homeless and with no food, we are going into the biggest recession in united states of America has ever seen since 2008, we have the highest interest rates in many years that we have ever seen and a lot of people are going to lose their jobs in the next at least 18 months, we have the worse health care system and people are getting sick and dying. \nTimes have changed unfortunately and this is year 2023, not 500 or 300 or 100 or even 50 years ago and there is no comparison.\nWe need to close our borders and take care of our own united states of America citizen first.\nLet's stop sending trillions of dollars in cash to other foreign countries like Ukraine and letting people illegally in our country. ?

Get the f**k out of my country with your illegal bullshit. I swear if our government provides for these people we need to go to war! Go get a freaking green card not that f**king hard

These people were told, that they were going to get it after the fire at the immigration center in Mexico, where 39 people lost their lives, only to be taken back and this why these happened. It feels like it was done in purpose to feed the right wing narrative that there is a crisis at the border, when the real crisis is the system's lack of personal to processs their Asylum forms.

Mustard gas is a great deterent. . .c'mon man! Tons of us are already jobless,homeless,hopeless, and things are only going to get worse. Fix the country you're in, and let us die in peace.

The worst part is that Mexico suffers from this aswell. Plenty of these immigrants get stuck on the border with no papers and no place to go.

Sad reality is is those people aren’t gonna stop at your US borders they’re running straight through your country to Canada. We’re being overrun because Joe Biden. Donald Trump had your borders on lockdown there wasn’t any drugs even getting into your country. They were thinking about making drug labs in Canada to produce the drugs cause we weren’t even getting any drugs up here and I’m talking the government was going to make cocaine in Canada because Donald Trump had the friggin borders on lockdown they were gonna sell grams of Coke inside of our weed stores in Canada. It’s already happening in BC.

I submitted immigration sponsorship for my family and have been waiting for the last 15 years. What do these people think they are entitled to come just because there are issues in their own country? This is getting ridiculous. I am outraged by the fact that we go through the legal system and waiting period has been almost two decades with just one hope that someday we get to reunite with our family and these people keep ruining our chances.

They need to get rid of all immigrants and not allow them to come to the states it’s bad enough that they can’t find Americans housing how on earth can they house illegal immigrants ??‍♂️ us citizens come first immigrants go back where you came from

What’s going on in Mexico that everyone is trying to get into US??

GO MIGRANTS GO!! WE ❤ ALL MIGRANTS in America!!! Most of us don't care how you get into our country, just come anyway you can and start living the good life and live the American dream!!!

This is sad because everyone is looking for a home , and we need to stand fight in our own back yards and if you believe in god he will stand with you .\nIt’s not difficult to understand people are afraid of the corrupt government but the world is changing and corruption is going to find out it can get kick in the butt too and people taken there Countries back

These people along with the ZOGS, and the whole DemonRat party cares nothing for the American people. These degenerate migrants are going to get everything free, while Americans paying the bill, these people are going to get free housing, free money, free vehicles, while American families are suffering.

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.

Thank you democratic party. The democratic party has aloud this to happen. I say round them all up and send them back. Let them do it the right way not just run in and go on welfare and get free housing and health care. We can't take care of our own people how can we take care of millions of illegal immigrants? Just asking and saying

They trying to get away from the war going on over there

Man it's only going to get worse .go home put that passion into your own country

Get out the way fool I'm twopopping liquor ,cause lam going to get me some pork chops to

So this is telling me I can’t get my disability or SSI I got broken ribs, one lung, broken clavicle. So we’re letting everybody in now where the taxpayer money going.

You know that is consider as a frontal invasive it is in consideration as a terrorist act and should have been handled with force I do feel bad for the people just they should go home clean up there streets together and get rid of there gang problems and there own life frustration don't come here bringing your trash don't come here bringing your rapist murders and thieves we have enough of that going on and of our government got off it's lazy greedy ass and taken care of the problem instead of making money off it we all be in a better position.

When the red states start dropping them off in Democrat states and cities because it's them that is allowing this, people like myself are going to laugh from a distance watching your very way of life destroyed. You're going to get exactly what you deserve for destroying this country.

You have to start dropping magazines into a crowd and let them know get the fuck out not welcome… sad but true. This is not going to help our economy in anyway. Let me guess too they didn’t stop coming… ffs get it together people.

This is called espionage. You people still think Biden is helping america? Someone payed him off to slowly destroy this country... The last 23 years or so has been pretty noticeable on mass corruption and greed. And the crimes the rich commit.....like we see the pattern... It is slapping us in the face everyday we put our shackles on go to our plantation and literally are only making enough to stay alive. You need a car to get to work, you need an address to get payed, you need insurance on that car, gas, oil, upkeep. It's systemic slavery. And I'm going to destroy everyone with this next sentence. Most of us will be dead soon, thanks corruption.
