I have a lot of sympathy for these people, especially considering many gave up everything they had to pay smugglers to get this far while our government was effectively letting everyone in while offering additional incentives such as money and temporary housing. That said, if we don't have borders we don't have a country. Add on the massive welfare state that they will all become burdens on, either immediately or eventually, and it becomes clear to anyone with a little bit knowledge and common sense that the policies of the Biden administration that allowed things to get this bad, if not stopped immediately, would mean the end of the middle class, the further impoverishment of the lower class and massive benefits for the wealthiest among us. And when I say wealthy I'm not talking about the guy making 7 figures. I mean those who control billions, either directly or indirectly. You know, the same people who have the power to influence political parties to enact such policies and push narratives by the corporate media that state anyone who questions the policy is racist, greedy, heartless, or xenophobic.

America will never be as good as it was before about 1990 when all the 3rd world people started coming in droves. there is a reason everything south of the border is the way it is, and it is not the government. it is the people. look at the inventions, scientific discovery, technology, medicine, that has come from our country, what have the done for the world in the countries below us? NOTHING. being from CNN they are probably happy about this.

It's going to get to the point where there's going to be nothing but military at the borders because these people are out of their f****** minds. But they thought they would bum rush and guess what, they were stopped. Go home fix your own f****** country. Don't come here and don't bring your cucarachas with. you. No Venezuela. Guatemala

Every Spanish person I’ve ever met is an intelligent, hard working, decent person. I don’t understand why they can’t create awesome countries south of the border. Is is just the cartels or their governments? It seems like closing the border will cause the cartels to go broke and then people can get their country back.

Who the H do they think they are to deserve to break into our country! Hope the border guards turn every one of the entitled b--tards back!!

Going to end in a blood bath. They have no right to force their way into this country. This is why the NG is going to the border

All military age males.. absolutely terrifying no countries allow this blatant invasion of their borders..THANK YOU GOD AND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FOR PROTECTING US

It’s unbelievable!!! In any other country they would be shot dead in the same circumstances! Why the borders exist between countries???

Imagine going to a foreign country and feeling emboldened to try and break across the border!! These criminals need to go back where they came from, because nobody else is going to want them

I feel bad for some of these folks who may have left their country under bad conditions, for instance venezuela, imagine the harsh journey they had to take to get to the border and then to be denied entrance, this is where the desperation is coming from, such an extreme let down at the end of the journey.......... what do some of these people do who have absolutely no money left and have a kid or 2 with them? and their like 1000 miles from their point of origin?....holy smokes.

Its sad. But every country protects its borders.

Why are we protecting every other country's border but not our own. Why are you seeing this LMAO because Biden allowed this. Thank God Trump won. Biden said he couldn't do anything but Trump did the first day. These people infuriate me, you ask to come not demand it. Try do that in their country. This is going to stop thank God for President Trump. ? To you illegal immigrants.

You know what? This is our country and we say if/when someone may enter our borders. These invaders need to be knocked down a notch. The nerve!

If these people showed this much determination to find themselves something into there own country they wouldn't need to come here. We are trying to make our own country better for Americans and they should carry the same energy within their own borders

The libs cry that we are heartless when we say close the borders ? ? I have one thing to say to them......... Go to their country and try to force your way in, without being properly vetted and see how far you get!! I promise you, the US is a lot more merciful than any other country would be towards people trying to force their way in, or sneak in!!!!! You would be pew pewd on the spot or thrown in a prison you don't want to be in. And that's after they torture you. America has been weak, when it comes to illegals. And they see that. If you still think we are wrong for closing the border, to protect our country, you need to pack up and leave.... We do not know a thing about this people coming across, and you wouldn't let some stranger into your home, without first knowing who they are and what their reason is for coming in!! We need to be this way at every port of entry into this country.

They got stopped by the police in border patrol awesome job guys stay in their own country you are not welcome in the United States of America

Their country doesn’t care enough about them coz they won’t take these people back. Proves to show we need to make crossing that border a worthy effort for anyone and legally at that. End of story. Period.

Finally the USA is a sovereign country as evidenced by BORDER ENFORCEMENT! 'Bout time!

They are not Migrants they are Illegal immigrants…Migrants seek asylum through the country they are entering, they don’t just run across the border Illegally… The second a foreign citizen crosses the border through any point other then a designated port of entry they have immediately broken the law and have become a criminal in the U.S. AKA Illegal Immigrant….

I believe that the relationship between a Country and its citizens is much the same as a parents duty to their child. Governments have a DUTY to care for the safety and well being of their citizens. I would like to see a UN declaration stating that governments must accept their citizens back into their borders. And that the home country must reimburse all those governments and organizations that fed, clothed, transported, sheltered and rendered medical aide to their citizens. NO COUNTRY must be allowed to dump their citizens like trash at the side of the road. These are THEIR CITIZENS..IT IS THE HOME COUNTRY'S DUTY TO TAKE CARE OF THEM up until the time they are LEGALLY granted citizenship elsewhere. This application process can be done while the person is still in residence in their own Country. It is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to take the illegal route. Thousands of people have died in the process. This must be stopped by every Country along their route. We have a humanitarian crisis of global significance here..child trafficking, drug trafficking, violent gangs and organized crime all abuse illegal immigrants. If it was your child....what would you do?

Don't destroy their countries so you don't see such an influx of frustrated people at your borders!

all these countries south of the border are fully controlled by very corrupt politicans, the cartel, drug lords, etc. For the Mexican woman president to say mexicans are welcome is a bunch of BS. I am from latin America and it is a joke how for a hundred years the people running these countries have fully forgotten about their people and enriched them selves. The poverty in latin america can be solved by getting rid of all these politicans and groups that have created it. Once that happens, people will not have to migrate, most people do not want to live their culture or their countries.

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

It’s a violent invasion. Where’s the military, one Bradley would stop that in seconds. Other countries would use force if we stormed their borders.

Are there any of normal countries to enter without documents, passports on earth except united states? USA is doing right things such as any other countries for the border entering. I agree to trump and his government.

Every army in every country should be protecting their borders.

America needs to include tariffs on companies that outsource jobs to countries like India and the Philippines. Healthcare policies should be revisited to better serve American citizens. Taxpayer money should focus on domestic priorities rather than being sent abroad. Strengthening U.S. borders with a permanent military or National Guard presence is essential for national security. Additionally, we must reassess our involvement in endless foreign wars and critically examine the underlying dynamics of global control, power and wealth influence by Israel real agenda!

These people act like they are guaranteed to just run the border and do so with no reisistance. None of them should be allowed into the country ever

I wonder what they'd think if americans came to their country and they had to take care of us if the roles were reversed. i'm sure they'd want to secure the border too

Why do we have undocumented migrants in the country then cnn who is to blame for not doin there job enforcing border policy and actually vetting them in a orderly fashion this wouldn’t be a problem but instead of helping blame blame vote for us nothing trump does is a problem your news coverage are in accurate depictions of how the public feels

So we say were going to send our military to the southern border, but the flow of migrants swells to an enormous crowd, I blame Mexico send those assholes back to their country Mexico is COMPLICIT AND THE SOONER WE GET MEXICO TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BETTER, NOW MEXICO MAY WANT TO LEARN THE HARD WAY, WE PREFER THE EASY WAY EITHER WAY MEXICO YOUR GOING TO FEEL THE HEAT

Border control and immigration are absolutely a major issue that needs to be addressed. For instance, Canada should have been on top of border control a long time ago. Safety for Canadiand AND Americans. But Canada can't just give in. Where does it end. Everytime Trump wants something he is just going to keep threatening with tariffs. Do as i say or 25% tariffs. This is not a way to deal with other countries.

What year was this???? Shame on people that don't check sources and info. Where is your critical thinking people??? They are falsifying a crisis at the border to distract from the real danger, the orange Jesus ransack of the country, you guys are being played.

Interesting how CNN and MSNBC NEVER reported on the border invasion for the past 4 years under Biden regime who opened borders and even flew illegals into our country without any vetting. This is why we have more crime and also the cost to taxpayers to feed house educate and provide healthcare to them. Funny how they are showing it now. CNN was part of the problem covering up for Biden mafia.

I agree, why don't they rise against their own nations as a free people and take back their countries!!! They obviouslt have desires to elevate their lives in some way, we americans had to fight for our country and it wasn't exactlt easy, these people are weak and pathetic for running away from their problems only to bring our country more problems that we can't deal with ourselves, I say we just hand them all a surplus of guns and a campaign plan to take back their own country lol, as much as I hate seeing any human suffer aside from rapists and murderers and child sex abusers, we in America have too many problems ourselves, and I was always told if you can't fix yourself, or love yourself how can you ever hope to be and good for anyone else, and that rings so true with everything, these people need to stand on their own 2 feet and fight against whatever tyranny they have and become a free people, I know if they did that someday they would probably succeed, and perhaos if they did start fighting for their freedom and trying to take back their country, we Americans might help them succeed in those endeavors some way or another...Who knows, these people need to rush their own governments and plead with them or overtake them, they can bum rush our borders I see no reason why they're not capable of doing the same in their own country, massive numbers beats out a shaggy old military and corrupt government any day everytime, yes many lives lost, but the sounds of trumpets for victort will ring out loudly on the end, and the people can finally have the lives and country they desire, we ain't it right now folks so turn back around and take all this border crossing energy to fight against your own establishments

This fits Trump's narrative too well. CNN coverage has changed since ownership switched hands. We knew it would be gradual perceptive switch but it has indeed fallen from the standards of the past. Closer to a fox for the next caste up. You only know what you are shown. You work the same job and see the same people. If you watch the same news outlets you are exposing yourself to information crafted from the same perspective. My world is small vs reality and yours is too. Think about the decades of Americans trying to keep them out, investing money in walls and barriers and wire when we could have helped stabilize these countries to where these guys wouldn't feel like they HAD to come here to live with dignity. All To be treated like this. We have had decades to fix the problem acknowledge the root problem, but we spend our tax money, time, and efforts reapplying bandaids and barriers at the border.

Why don’t we send money, skills, and resources to help assist these countries with becoming better places to live…so that they stop needing to come into America! We send billions+ to aid other countries that despise America why not start with the poorer countries connected to our borders…?\n\nJust food for thought…\n\nThis is sad on sooo many levels…So much to be said…yet in the end Border control is VERY necessary.

Create refugee camps (let United nation run them) and put illegal immigrants there until their own country take them back if they don’t take them immediately or they don’t choose to walk back cross the border that they illegally crossed before. Simple!

This is how potato head biden and Cumala the Vag put our border patrol agents Lifes at risk to getting injured and Killed! Our border patrol officers should have had the right to protect their lives and our country from these Violent ILLEGAL INVADERS!

You mean the Latin countries didn't have a meeting when their citizens were flooding our borders? But returning them is problematic? ?

This all smells like a false flag orchestrated by DNC Major donors, to ultimately have migrants severely injured or worse by our Border Patrol. As a result, Trump will labeled a Dictator who holds no regard to the lives of innocent Loving migrants. We need the Military and the entire US Homeland to build a wall. If not President Trump is going to call on every Citizen to stop this invasion at the Southern border, to prevent a collapse of our Country. Either we our Troops and homeland stop this invasion, or we will become Europe with no border and no walks. It may very come down to the Patriots of our Great ??

Sleepy joe open border for more than 20 millions criminals and send back 207,484 to their country , wow what’s a great job …. By the way the fake news never talk about any deportation in previous administration …give me a break .

I suggest all countries send release their prisoners and send them to the USA with forged documents that state they aren’t criminals and let trump deal with that. Big bad man on the border sounds like a challenge to be accepted. Overwhelm the trump fascist government with so much they can’t maintain it

Read this American Trump is destroying your Contry if not he gets remove\n\nExplanation of Article 5\nArticle 5 of the NATO treaty is the cornerstone of the alliance's collective defense principle. It states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all members. This mutual defense clause has been invoked only once—after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.\n\nThe United States is bound by Article 5, meaning it cannot disregard its obligations to other NATO members, such as Denmark. The principle ensures that all members protect and support each other, creating collective security.\n\nWho Pays for Tariffs?\nA tariff is a tax or duty imposed on imported goods. There’s often confusion about who ultimately pays for tariffs. Here are the key points:\n\nImporters Pay Tariffs: When goods cross a border, the importer in the receiving country is charged the tariff.\nHigher Prices for Consumers: Importers typically pass these costs to consumers, making goods more expensive in the country imposing the tariffs.\nImpact on Competitiveness: While tariffs can make domestic goods more competitive, they often harm the economy by reducing trade and innovation.\nFor example, if the U.S. imposes high tariffs on European goods, American consumers and businesses bear the cost through higher prices, not European producers.\n\nTrade and Alliances\nThe text highlights the interconnectedness of trade policy and diplomacy. Harmful trade policies, such as aggressive tariffs, can damage relationships with long-standing allies like Denmark and the EU. If the U.S. alienates its allies, it risks losing the strategic partnerships and security benefits provided by NATO and other agreements.\n\nDenmark and other EU countries offer trade opportunities but expect respect and cooperation in return. Breaking ties with the EU or NATO could leave the U.S. isolated and weaken its global influence.\n\nConclusion\nArticle 5 ensures mutual security within NATO, including for the U.S.\nTariffs often hurt the country imposing them, as costs are passed to domestic consumers.\nStrong alliances are critical for both trade and security. Conflicts with EU or NATO countries could isolate the U.S. and undermine its global partnerships.

In my opinion… if those other countries won’t take back their own citizens… offer the illegals an opportunity to withdraw their patronage of their home country denying them to ever go back and grant them citizenship after serving 1 year in prison or serve in our military for 4 years for illegally crossing the border breaking American law.

As a Mexican who crosses the border every day, if the first act you commit in this country is breaking the law and breaking in with no permission, then you dont deserve to be here. it is what it is.

US doesn’t have to deport these illegals to different countries. Just send them thru southern border to Mexico, where they came thru. Very less money wasted n in deportation

Democrats lied to illegal immigrants. \nIt’s not a secret that it’s illegal to cross the border through non-legal means.\nBut Democrats are racist and they believe that poor brown countries are special because of skin color. \nThat’s racist , we have a front door through a legal process that every single country on the face of the planet walks through to become a citizen. \nMexico and South America can go through the same damn door. \nThis is Democrat’s fault for lying to them encouraging them to become criminals, breaking US law to come here illegally \nTrump is not separating families. \nDemocrats are separating families because of the lies and false promises that they had no authority to grant.

The American people watched as migrants were granted all sorts of free reign to move toward our border including resources paid by those countries governments to keep them moving. The American people will fully support the return of the now illegal migrants back to their home countries and not mind about economic consequences that these news networks they bring up when these illegal migrants have already taxed our system in which we pay taxes. This will only highlight how little those migrants own home countries truly don’t care about them.

If the U.S is going to offer Asylum to some people, require them to do the application process from their own country or else they can't be processed. That will stop them from coming to the Mexican border.
