This is one of the few immigrants I have a compassion for. I see Jose is working in the construction field on top of a roof in the middle of the winter I have kids I don’t even wanna work and they have the ability to work there. Just lazy. I hope Jose gets to stay. He has a trade in construction as a carpenter, and we have a shortage of good carpenters in this country. My question as I would not have left the United States the attorneys here are much more compassionate, and Canadian attorneys José all the luck to you remember to tell them that you have a trade 99% of the people coming over the border do not have a trade they do not know how to do anything the education lacks in South America especially in the trades.

My question is what is happening there...that everyone wants to leave? Has the drug cartels taken over the whole country? What's really going on? I honestly would like to know...doesn't make sense.

Venezuelans didn’t believe their country would go socialist, they went from one of the richest South American country to this. It can happen to any country, let’s not allow it to happen in the USA, Canada and others!

In no other country would this be tolerated!! Why are we seeing this?? We have an administration that does not care!

Love these people. I spent a lot of time living on or near the border, I really think the US would benefit from these people coming into the country. (Most of them, maybe not all of them). We just need to do it the right way, and make it a bit easier to do it the right way.

Any other country would shoot on sight

You know what would happen if these people pulled this in North Korea? It wouldn't happen there. Some countries will shoot first and ask questions later. I'm just saying. This is ridiculous. And I support immigration if it is done legally and respectfully. But this? This needs to be gotten under control.

Denying people the right to not live in such horrible conditions is just wrong. What would you do if you were them? You would do anything for a better life wouldn't you? Screw the laws... history says enough about the illegal immigrants that created this country. Basic human decency says this is wrong. Let them all come here. Then they'll be nothing and America can expand. Just saying there's a lot of good that could come from expansion.

Why do they think it's ok to just break into our country? No other country would allow it so why should we?

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

So sad...I would allow a family to stay with me but I know that my landlord wouldn't allow it. I just don't understand why we can't just open up the borders or just let a few in at a time. It's a shame that they have to leave their own country in the first place, smh. ???

I’m here to tell you if us Americans needed to seek refuge in another country not one would welcome us. Us taking in that many illegals and immagrants is absolutely crazy and nobody else would do it if they cared about their own country

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,?

If this was any other country we would be calling it an invasion. But somehow the Democrats will try to make the migrants out to be the victims.

If another country was trying to invade the US the government would go to war. \nWhy is it so hard to put America and Americans First ? Trump 2024??????

We seeing this cause them cartels are killing people in masses I don't think yah understand. If you don't work for them they hunt you down and kill your entire families. In all southern countries it's being effected. These people don't want to live where they at. Their countries don't want them and starving them. The things I've seen would fck my head up. One toilet paper is like 6dollars in their country they can't even wipe their ass and we got land and 8dollar jobs for them. So don't front yah white people would love this for yah business

This country is collapsing and fast and to take them in would be dangerous American lives come first!

As Biden and Harris said “the southern border is under control”. It’s a good thing Australia is not a land locked country or this would be happening 24/7. At least with America, the immigrants wanting to come in are Christian.

Any other country would open fire on people attempting that madness!!!

Trump would've never let this happen. Binden phucked this country up

We as Americans couldn't just enter other countries like this because we would be shot and killed ???

Biden is allowing this insanity but, We would do the same thing if We were in their shoes ...right? The problem is really in countries, like Venezuela, their government is purposely starving their citizens ! We need to send all these American citezens that hate America and act like America is so terrible! Send all these liberal idiots that are always bashing this country

If they would organize like they did here, with this kind of energy they could make big changes in their country and make life better for all their families and friends for generations.?

Any other country would just start shooting the invaders. This is not immigration this is complete disregard for the law of the land and should be met with force. Sorry lefties but reality is coming and this B.S. will stop.

Go home I seriously don’t think you would like it much if 100 million of us USA citizens decided to mass immigrate and demand housing , food, money for free from you! What you don’t like in your country, fight to change it, obviously there are enough of you

Please don’t destroy my Mexico along the ways. Emigrants all over the world even people from the island get to Mexico to go through the Mexican border and the US. Also a lot of the immigrants from South America end up staying in Mexico.?\n\n\nI think Mexican economy would be way better standing today if migrants didn’t come through our country & on top of that staying.??\n\nI will be sad when my Mexico becomes overpopulated ?

we need to take care of our own first then we can worry about others it's sad but we can't take care of others till we take care of ourselves if they tried that in some other countries the would've been shot

Any other country in the world would treat this EXACTLY as it is, which is an invasion of marauding criminals! Try doing this shit in the Middle East or anywhere else for that matter. I’ve got serious disdain for this incompetent so-called “administration”

Any of us try this in there country we would be killed or jailed ,,people are losing their minds ,,, they come here and immediately complain about all the free amenities it's ridiculous,,protest in your own land stop ?‍♀️

We can't even get help from our own government. The only way Americans could get help with anything would be to give up citizenship leave the country then illegally come back in

Tables turns, how would they feel if we were to intrude this way in their country?? ????? \nI don’t think they would appreciate, allow and will intervene if necessary to prevent this situation from occurring. \nHowever they feel that the government should take them into consideration when trying to get a visa and becoming citizens.\nThis is exactly what you don’t do, goes to show how much they REALLY want to be in our country. If they only knew they’d be busting their behinds a lot lot more due to their immigration status and way less pay plus the list of benefits of being harassed, abused ext. ????\nThe imigrants not knowing the real truth of our country ????\nGets me every time ??☺️

Fixed machine guns would take care of that. Try that in North Korea or China for that matter. We can't even take care of our own. Rent is thru the roof. Mortgages and housing is damn near impossible. This country is over. It's done. We'll fall in five

Damn maybe the US should do the same they get away with it you think other countries would give bed and board to us?

I don’t understand why they wana come over here if all these folks don’t like Americans or America ?? stay where you are from make your own land good if these dumbass greedy politicians would just make an effort to actually help the world everyone help everyone the world would be a better place but noooo there’s destroy and hurt countries because of greed I don’t get it why we’d be way more prosperous everywhere in the world if they would just do that less stress less issues more help for all

A real country would have military with automatic weapons and start firing, turn around or get hauled away in a bodybag. We have rules and laws follow them losers

Why would you want to go to a country that doesn't want you

Where the fuck is the National guard!!! All of you mofos know if tht was black Americans the National guard would be deployed! Do we have to take matters in our own hands! This is an invasion dont agree with me do something. Where are all the patriots.All of the tears are fake when others were crying we deployed the National Guard fuck tears bring the National Guard cry in your own country

In literally any other country they would be gunning these people down. I'm not saying that what should happen, but they need to do something to fix this.

America is a mess of a country I’m not sure why you would want to go there

America is not an independent country. Do you understand that statement. ? No other country would take tho and would deport all. We must. Now for respect

They all have cell phones to orchestrate and come to our borders with free food and travel. Someone is funding them, since I know for a fact, cell phones cost a lot in their country. Since they are using physical force to infiltrate our boarders and demand entry with no vetting or proper documentation, like any other country would require, they need to be pushed back with adequate riot equipment or lethal force if necessary.

START POPPING HEADS , like any other country would do and people will get in line. we have no room here. biden has sent our money to ukraine and raised our economy so high that we will be running to their country in a few???

The bigger question is that many people from other countries are in Mexico, like China, Africa and South America! Who paid for them to be there to get to the border and why is mexico doing it when they would put me, as an American in jail for entering illegally! Mexico will protect their northern border but since it is so corrupt, will turn the other way around from their southern!

No other country would allow this to happen but when the US defends their borders theyre at fault

idk about you guys but that is not the kind of people i would even want in my country. my parents immigrated too but never expected hand outs nor did they ever recieve financial aide of any kind. why give our taxpayer dollars to these people when we are not even taking care of our own people? people that they themselves have paid into the system. i have also worked with them and its been the worst experience. they dont want to do the work right and get offended when you try to coach them. they show up to work to recieve a check but dont come to work to work. they are people that just expect things to be given to them because thats how it used to be when venezuela was rich off oil. its sad that this is how they represent their people

This how you would enter someone else home? Like no other country would stand for that but here in America we let that shit roll

Crazy that 100+ years ago this would likely be considered an act of war. By literally almost any country.\n\nDisclaimer: No, I'm not suggesting war be made on anyone over this. I'm merely putting the enormity of mass border storming, by force, into perspective for the gross violation of sovereignty that it is.

Imagine what these people expect of the U.S. if they gain entry? If you are willing to be that entitled that you think you are OWED entry then what will you be like if that is confirmed?\n\nYes it is sad that the world is not fair but the reason everyone wants to come to U.S. and western countries is because of the quality of life and opportunity. Those things are there because people fought hard to make laws so that the country would become a great one (same for other western democracies). But here these people are the total opposite of what makes these countries great.\n\nYou want to come into my house knock at the front door. The moment I see trying to sneak in by a window or the back my suspicion and rejection are justified.\n\nUSE THE FRONT DOOR !

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?

If this was any other country, they would open fire, use water cannons, and crowd control tear gas. But, nope, we gotta just let it happen. How long are we going to continue to be complacent about our border ? #Trump2024
