If I was in their position I probably would be doing the same thing. However as an American on SSDI housing has become harder and harder to find now.

Thank you, Joe Biden for destroying the last great Constitutional Republic the world has ever known! ?? \nCorporate totalitarian oligarchy communism, ready or not here they come. \nBest part about America’s open border policy, is the simple fact it has become by far the worlds largest mass migration ever recorded. \nIn most cases Taxpayers are now paying for much needed immigrants families to live here without having to ever work. For instance our super duper friendly neighbor Mr. Lu-Juan who just moved in to a 1/4 million dollar home with his new family, is reminding all of us on the block nearly every day how lucky he is, he constantly brags and goes on about his awesome free benefits, he say they are awesome, right ... He always saying “hay amigo, I have no debt, no credit cards, and I don’t even have to work”. Even though if you ask me or anyone with two working eyes, the children are definitely not his or hers, they receive huge tax free cash payments regardless if he works or not ever because he has a learning disability, I guess you know he’s been as he says, but I have my life in prison. He was telling me his family of five all in with a free housing voucher, food voucher, smart phone voucher, electricity voucher, transportation allowance, 100% total coverage for much needed dental care, the best of all they receive a gargantuan $7400 a month in cash benefit allowance for the entire family. Although it’s kind of sad that my friendly neighbor, Mr. Lu Juan Jesus Garcia-Mendoza briefly states every single time I see him as always kind of rubbing it in, that he sends back $5,000* every month to his other wife and kids? ????

gather them up and send them back…USA is becoming just like the countries they leave!

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 ?

Here's the rub. The CIA messed that country up. Should be no need for them to seek asylum. They are NOT the problem. The super rich are.\nOne commenter on here said we can't afford housing ourselves. Is that the newcomers fault? Or the millionaires buying up property & raising rents so they can become billionaires?\nI'd say the billionaires.

Don't agree with illegal immigration, but gotta say it is pretty awesome and refreshing to see people so enthusiastic and motivated to become Americans.

Usa shud not allow them get into usa. As they will become homeless and street muggers soon. It will trigger racism in usa

Liberals should really be headed over the bored to help Mexico become a dream country

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

When did CNN become Fox News?

and they become one of the beggar in street of Toronto. Just be cause it makes more.

They don't want Venezuelan people coming through because they are escaping communism and they will see what the united states is becoming.

Venezuela used to be one of the wealthiest countries not long ago at all. Now they are being run as a socialist country. With hardly any food or normal every day products or medicine. This is what the democrats want US to become.

I do not want the US to become Mexico 2.

Apartment complex building to become officially towers, rise buildings for mass of people to live in crime rate. Will it rise depression rise and we officially be back in 1982

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 !

Man I wish Trump was back in office, now we’re becoming a third world country

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.

Why are we seeing this right now? They were invited by the Administration, that's why.....this is what journalism has become? Now the anchors ask the viewers questions? Seems about 180 degrees F'd up!

We are going to become Venezuela real soon. Get prepared

CNN: we can't let trump become president \n\nCNN now: Borders are at risk

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!

Are you telling me that the US Military, The Marines, are so weak that they can't stop these terrorists ??!!\n\nIs that what you are telling me ??!!\n\nIf this happened in the 1950s The Marines would be deployed and PUFF the Magic Dragon would have cleared that bridge in 30 seconds\n\nOur country has become so weak\n\nI am ashamed of my country

The west now has become a joke! Taxes far to high to support migrants! Why keep working?

Prisons and jail have become a business . The judicial system should help offenders with resources when their young. A wise cop said this once and no one listened ❤️?

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.

People had to wait years to come here idgaf where your from get a visa and become a citizen it’s that simple

Treat them as you would enemy combatants attempting an invasion because that's what it is. These people don't want to become Americans they want welfare. They are scum.

America needs to tell them all no U can't come into the United States because houseing,food, clothing isn't free. Nothing is free in the United States for you or us America's. + No U can't enter the United States no more for at least for the next 20 years from this year. Because U leave ur county to enter the United States and you 's don't ever change ur life. U all bring your tough guys problem's or U help ur people bring in drug into the United States. + When U R here in the United States U don't learn to stop specking Spanish at all & learn to speak English language all the time. We continue to let you's become American's but U don't become American's as a republican. Stop bringing ur bullshit problem with U. Leave all of ur bullshit problem in ur county. When U enter the United States U should have to stop teaching ur kid's to speak Spanish if ur Americans now. And none of you's are aloud to have any kids with any women in the United States until u become a American citizen. It should also take you's all 5 or 10 years to become Americans in the United States. Cause you's all are coming to the United States and ever time U don't like how ower law here. U keep on trying 2 change ower United States law's for you. No get the fuck out. We are Americans and we R tired of you people coming here trying 2 make it because some Spanish place like ur county. And No this is America if U don't like ower law's then get the FUCK OUT ur not welcome enter and u will be shot. U want ur county to become more like america then you people of ur county need to fight against ur drug cartel's and ur government and fight off the evil people in ur county.

American imperialism creates the conditions abroad whereby people become desperate enough to flee to imperial core.

This is what occurs when you fail to secure your boarders and ensure you protect those boarder with robust enforcement. Would anyone allow free entry to their home to anyone? Obviously not, yet every Country has a vocal minority who protest against boarder controls, they encourage and support mass immigration for all comers. \n\nYet when crime, drugs, and public disorder takes over they cream and shout! Don’t feel compassion for these freeloaders, they have no regard for you, your Country or YOUR CULTURE. Once in, they take over, you become the displaced, and have to pay for the privilege.

look at this shi.... sad. THIS what we become. weak pathetic country. how much more can we take how many more people can we support before we calap

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.

They need to learn how to become a citizen at least learn English

Report and deport . Get work visas do it correctly and you cannot have kids be born in u\nS soil. Why do we have to work to pay taxes so they can come and have free medical? My parents are immigrants but never took a penny or got any help help because my parents weren't from here. Upon my parents becoming us citizens they never asked or got any help and not that they couldn't use it cause we grew up poor but in my dad's words that's for poor people that need it.

Where is Biden and his gang? Why don’t they stop this madness! We are gonna become 3rd world country by letting everyone in like this!

It's sad. However, you can't just jump, run, swim across the border and reap the benefits that it took years and $ for other immigrants to become citizens. No open borders in USA. There's no open borders anywhere else in the world.

Since when did America become the birthright of everybody in the world? The sad part is most these people will tell you how awful America is but in the same breath they want to live here because it’s better!

Why don't you try are they even trying to? they should know it's becoming in a communist country.... there's no reason to come here.

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.

We don't want these cowards here. These scumbags won't fight for their nation why would they fight to make our nation better. If you come here illegally it should disqualify you forever from becoming a American citizen.

Become legal and learn English! There’s this awesome new thing called doing it the right way!

Maybe..... we should take over Mexico. More land, resources, and the people will become Americans, Everyone wins.

They’re going to want to go back once they see the violence and homelessness (skyrocketing every day) here in the us. Our country is slowly becoming a 3rd world country also.

If WW3 happens? Lets send these people that are so desperate to be here, lets send them to war, if the make it, then they can become an American Citizen, and they can live here, i bet none of them will fight for America? They will run back to their home countries.

Bro I love my Hispanic people bud damn it’s hard out here for us Americans already these people are coming over here on falso hope we’re they going ? Gonna become homeless

This is directly result of having Vice President in charge of the border and A President that's doesn't even remembering his own name half of the time, yes come on in and come to my house i have a lots of chocolate.... This country has become a lawless, public education system are dumber, moral values are gone, taxes are to the roof, and can't even helping our own vet and homeless , but yet we trying to help other. PETHATIC !....\nthey are sucking the blood of the small business and middle class like us.... And yet there are American people still supporting them, i dont care what side you're on, no one give rat a$$..... but if you dumb enough to not see it, i feel sorry for y'all and your kids ...WAKE UP!!!! Do What Is Right...

I feel so bad for these people. I can only imagine the desperation they feel. That said, they must only gain legal entry.\nI guess this is what comes with the territory. Even though we have become very tarnished, especially in the last 7 years. We are still one of the brightest beacons of hope in the world.

Why are we as Americans worried at all?? we have a program set in place for every single one of those people. Wish I could get a check walking over a line ,and the best part is if any of those people become homeless, they should move to California because your hard earned a taxpayer dollars now pay the homeless people up to $1000 a month literally just to smoke drugs probably meth and live on the streets ? welcome to America. We are the greatest enabler‘s on the planet.\nIt’s fucking sad and disgusting and I hate that I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else?

Hello American Christian Patriots! Do you ignore the WORD OF GOD? \n\n\nI am a stranger and an alien residing among you; give me property among you for a burying place, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.’\nGenesis 23:4\n\nYou shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.\nDeuteronomy 10:19\n\nThe alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.\nLeviticus 19:34\n\n‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’\nDeuteronomy 27:19\n\nWhen they were few in number, of little account, and strangers in the land, wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, saying, ‘Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.’\n1 Chronicles 16:19-22\n\nI was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy, and I championed the cause of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous, and made them drop their prey from their teeth.\nJob 29:15-17\n\nThe Lord watches over the strangers; he upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.\nPsalm146:9\n\nFor if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly act justly one with another, if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt, then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever.\nJeremiah 7:5-7\n\nYou shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who reside among you and have begotten children among you. They shall be to you as citizens of Israel; with you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.\nEzekiel 47:22\n\nThus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.\nZechariah 7:9-10\n\nYou have heard that it was said, ‘you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy’. But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you.\nMatthew 5:43-44\n\nI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.\nMatthew 25:35\n\nTruly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.\nMatthew 25:40\n\nYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.\nLuke 10:27\n\nThen Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.\nActs 10:34\n\nContribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.\nRomans 12:13\n\nOwe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.\nRomans 13:8\n\nLove does no wrong to a neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.\nRomans 13:10\n\nIn that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.\nColossians 3:11\n\nLet mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured.\nHebrews 13:1-3\n\nBeloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends, even though they are strangers to you; they have testified to your love before the church. You do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God; for they began their journey for the sake of Christ, accepting no support from non-believers. Therefore we ought to support such people, so that they may become co-workers with the truth.\n3 John 1:5\n\nAnd I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them.”\nRevelation 21:3
