Same BS that this Biden have neglected us. Down here at South Texas, cant wait till this coming election. To kick him out of that office being the President. He has not done nothing about this situation. Migrants keep coming in without proper documentation. Yes I understand that they want to better their life, but us here dont you think we also want a better life. You will be a burden on the tax payer. Its good if this migrant are not drug pusher but some of them have criminal background.

America should be proud that these people desire to go to America to be free and to flee from Police corruption and political corruption. So many people post hateful comments against the Americans, but these same people know that there is nobody attempting to get into their country, instead they are attempting to leave. Regardless of the negative views about immigration, immigrants are a valuable investment to any country. The Irish that sought refuge from the misery and hunger from the Irish famine were treated like shit when they arrived in America after they sailed to America on the famine ships. But history proves that they were a great investment to America. So many became successful business people, they became second generation President to the USA like Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, J. F Kennedy, R Regan, etc, and not to forget many Irish in Law enforcement, and the military. So stop thinking that these people are taxing your resources, they may do short term just to help them settle in, but in the long term they are asset's. These people will get employment, pay taxes, start businesses, employ people etc. Think of the glass half full and not half empty. Stop hating on these immigrants as you did with the Irish and welcome them, give them a chance, and be proud that they want to come and live in America to get away from their shitty country and try build a future for their children. What parent wouldn't want to do that for their children ? Jesus said'' Love one another as I have loved you ''

Sounds like a good way to get more jobs. Rustle them up send them back. It’s way out of hand we have our own big problems this doesn’t help. Thx a lot Dems got what you wanted. The VP was supposed to handle this she quit after the first week. To think Biden is one fall away from her being the President. That’s even scarier talk about clueless.

Why do they want to come here? Have they seen California? Our president can barley put two sentences together and when he can he’s defending his coke head son. Shit, a little shack selling coconuts on a beach in Mexico sounds great right about now.

Venezuelan here, this people are the same that voted to have Hugo Chavez in the presidency and are a bunch of entitled people who wants everything give to them and not work for it. Not only that most of them were willing to assault people who where protesting the government so they could a miserable hand me downs from the government. This is the same people most Venezolana’s try to leave behind when they left the country in the first place.

My Canadian son and his girlfriend, both in their early 30's, have visited the USA many times. Each time they go, I worry constantly that something bad will happen to them (shot, injured or sick). My brother and his wife have a condo in Florida and I worried that during COVID they'd catch it and die because of DeSantis' batshit crazy policies, making Florida a cesspool of virus. Now he wants to turn it into Gilead. His wife clearly desires to become Serena from The Handmaid's Tale. Too bad because I used to love Florida. I'm also worried sick that if Trump is elected President again, he'll somehow cause such a catastrophe the like of which has never been seen before, and it will affect Canada too. Basically, as a neighbour of the US, I'm constantly worried all the time.

Remember that wall President Trump was talking about. ?? Biden administration wants to destroy America ???

Df stay we’re u from damn beans and fix your own problems and state with your weak ahhh president cuz the cartel told his lil B ahh if he don’t let the cartel what they want and sh they find his family and kill dem but it’s funny cuz these mf are lying smart ruthless fear their ez enemies we know they here in usa around the state it’s just the government waiting for dem cause they got something good consequence come for them all remember technology nor only on your phones it’s could track you technology every kind of technology. It’s easy to find a target. not to find to hear and see what everyone around the world doing this ain’t 1990 or sh we’re in the future and it’s getting crazy

I lived in the US; Virginia for 13 years. For the most part the people are lovely... just like a lot of places. If you treat people with kindness; they usually return that kindness. At least that is my experience. Mind you, I came home in 2006. When I lived there the political climate was completely different. I would absolutely NOT move back to the US. When I came home to Canada; I was so grateful because I had to endure 2 years without Healthcare when I really needed it. I lived on pain pills at that time. I was in a wheelchair by 2008 and so grateful that I was home where my country took care of me when I was unable to work, or even walk. \n\nPolitics has changed so much since then. It was always kind of poler, but when Donald Trump entered the scene; it has become just awful. Again, I love the Americans for the most part, however there is so much racism, homophobia and hate displayed in the country right now. I pray every day that Donald Trump does not become president again. I fear for the United States. I love her as a sister to Canada; she is. I want her people safe...

i am way to polite to live in the USA. I often say im sorry to the the living room table when i bump my little toe on it. also no because Trump is american... dont want to risk having a criminal for president

As a comedian I can tell you we literally have everything that you said you have in the United States so you're not exactly giving any incentives for any of us to want to go there all I see is nothing but mass shootings murder drugs and crazy insane presidents so no thanks I'm not going.

For all the amazing things the US has to offer, right now we don't even want to visit there, let alone move there. We've talked about it a lot, but nope. In Canada, generally speaking (although there are exceptions to every rule) we have no idea what political leaning our neighbors favor. Political campaigns last no more than 51 days; they do not start the day after the last election and go on for years. This way, elected officials actually do some work instead of campaigning. Right now, the politics in the US, as well as the judiciary, are literally insane. Gun violence in the US is insane, as is the attitude towards guns. It shouldn't take a shooting that affects you personally to make you care about it, and it's not just at schools. The US has had 28 mass killings, with 140 victims, in 6 months... but the problem is that no one down there cares about that enough to stop it, or even discuss ways to stop it. The politics is so sold out to corporations that what is good for the people just doesn't matter. It is capitalism run amok. Environmental protections? They are an inconvenience, and most of them were rolled back a few years ago under the presidency of He Who Must Not Be Named. So politics, elections, shootings... but wait. There's more. I have a wonderful friend in the US who has amazing health care, and yet when he got cancer, he was screwed. We do pay a health care premium up here, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to what people in the US pay for private insurance. Yes, you have the best hospitals in the world, but it doesn't matter if you can't afford to walk in the door. Now dump the intolerance -- racism, homophobia, religious zealots, misogyny (yes, I am talking women's rights, equal pay, access to health care, etc) -- throw in the crazies with guns, and now ask the question again. I absolutely know that Canada is not perfect, and that the tolerances and attitudes towards all these subjects differs from region to region, but overall we are a country that tries to respect the rights and needs of others, that has empathy for others, that wants to help others, and that is a pretty firm foundation to make us want to stay here. (please don't interpret this as all Americans and all areas of the US have no respect etc... but the predominant issues of health care, politics, religion, corporate greed, and violence, now all supported by a bat-crap crazy SCOTUS, sadly spills and taints it all. I know there are amazing, generous, kind people all over the US, but I don't know where the crazies are or where they might pop up).

First I feel for these people. They want to live in the greatest country in the world. Because of the current president we are in a bad situation where he has made it hard for the citizens that where born here to make a living let alone any new immigrants.\nOur military needs to protect our borders as they do in other countries and any illegal immigrants needs to be deported back to their country and do it the right way it’s an act of terrorism to invade our country the economic strain that it puts on the US is enormous like a bleeding artery that you can’t get tied off. Instead of trying to change our country and ruin it they should put that effort into fixing their own. We need to fix our country first. It would take no less than 5 years of no entry to fix ours at the rate they have been pouring in our own infrastructure can’t handle the influx of people. Mr. President I beg you save our country before you destroy it quite trying to be everyone’s friend be as a president should a leader and protector of the greatest country in the world. Please stop destroying it and disrespecting those that came before you.

Mr. President I think they want their land back

Biden is not the problem it was here already long before he became President but it does have to end now so yes Mr President it is time to step up I support you but please use your power to send them back once and for all if you want people to put you back in office you have to step up now

Nobody wanted to listen and take President Trump serious about the wall did they...... instead everyone was having too much fun making fun of him while in office...... HE ALREADY KNEW THIS WOULD BE THE OUTCOME.

The sad reality is under the last president we would have had a booming economy, surely we could have let in many more immigrants than we have been safely and legally, and even still had the tax dollars to do so. Under the current regime they want you homeless and owning nothing while they spread your equity to all the homes less, lazy, and irresponsible. Makes sense Biden.

And yet the Mexican president thinks America wants Mexico lmao. His own people think the country sucks so much they don't even wanna be there lmao

The sad thing is the US offered to help Mexico ?? and other countries solve their cartel problem and violence issue from that, but the president in Mexico doesn’t want to get the help. No wonder immigrants don’t wanna live there

Can you imagine they are leaving their country because they are socialist , Joe Biden wants to make America a socialist country ? So much for the wall President Trump built . I have seen illegals on the weekends asking for money at the banks by the ATMs and outside markets . When we have a crisis with homeless ? Go figure , at least they're honest they atmit they are illegal, no undocumented \nNo Tengo papeles ........ ?

Why aren't we unloading SEVERAL ROUNDS? oh yea I said what I said. We don't want your diseases, poverty, and issues. We have our own. Our president is already giving ukrane billions of dollars. Now yall want us to support yall too? Come on man!! I said what I said. Go back home!!! We don't have the resources for you here!

CNN is asking why this is happening. But when Trump was president CNN called Trump a racist for wanting to build a wall and guard or US border to stop this from happening. CNN sucks!

We need more leaders like President Bukele of El Salvador and AMLO of Mexico. President Bukele incarcerated thousands of MS-13 gang members without trial. They are all in jail for life. If you have gang affiliated tattoos they come ant take you to jail for life. El Salvador is gang free and all citizens are happy. Ironically, the USA politicians are screaming human rights abuses. President AMLO stopped all catering to the high classes and wants to be more independent of the USA. This of course was met with USA indignation by politicians of the USA. We are not a very introspective country. Not that it ever makes the news but Mexico is home to 1.6 million Americans that are legally there and anther .5 to 1 million living in Mexico illegally. Remember that Banana Republics were forcefully ( With military action.) made to trade with the USA. Dole fruit being one of the main driving forces of USA interventionism. This act kept most of Central America’s governments weak and destabilized. We destabilized El Salvador all through the 70s and 80s. We destabilized Venezuela when our politics ran counter to theirs. We toppled and incarcerated President Manuel Noriega of Panama and went to war with Panama. Pablo Escobar of Panamawas killed with CIA operatives. Right or wrong our footprint is part of Latin America and the consequences of this still reverberate in todays’ immigration problems.

We can’t even take care of our VETERANS and Biden wants Immigrants first ! We want former President Trump back in office 2024, make our country great again !!!

barely find housing and also barely find a job for our own American citizens but yet jackass in the White House won't get off his butt or do anything to fix this problem we have an invasion heading towards our border keyword invasion the American dream is gone so is the American land of opportunity s*** left the building like 10 20 years ago the dollar ain't worth a damn thing we're in the 30T's when it comes to debt we have a jackass president doesn't want to do a damn thing he has to be told what to do instead of doing his exact job. bring RFK Jr. or Trump in either one. Into office 2024 two men willing to do the job as President.

Latin here, I came here legally but I can tell you that it was difficult as hell for my mom to bring me here, it took money and years for that, but I want you as a fellow citizen to understand their situation first, in Latin America you could be graduation from college and even with that having a good job it’s difficult sometimes, unlike here education in Latin America is not always something that all people can get and every time they vote for someone it becomes more trashier, housing for the poor doesn’t even exist, half of the country is corrupt and going outside you don’t who you may find, my brother needs to wait 7 years to become a resident (not citizen) he will be 30 something at that point, what the government should do is make the residency easier and I can tell you something like this wouldn’t occur that easily, my mom is a lawyer in my country and I can tell you the situation wasn’t easy, every three times a week there would be shooting outside my house, drug dealer was my neighbor, and at the age of 15 there would parents of two kids the sad part all this is normal, stopping it is imposible because it gets you kill, the police will kill you for doing a peaceful protest just to stop feminicide, wanting your kid to go outside without being scare something would happen to them, this people want peace and a job that is it and when your own country doesn’t even give you the right for that how could you live? Latin America is like living in the worst state in U.S multiply by 1000 and happening the same thing every day, riots or protest are imposible there because you know the police will never go the peaceful way, what this people are doing is wrong but they just want to live, it even surprise how much people hate their president here when in Latin America there hasn’t been any good president in decades. Before someone tells me something, like I say what they are doing is wrong and it’s painful to watch, something should not be happening in the first place but it is happening and I hope the situation gets better but like I say before saying something disrespectful or out of place to these people, understand their situation first

Maybe the democrats should've let President Trump build the wall ,but then again this is what democrats wanted .

There were US government and military people to meet with México’s President Andres Manuel López Obrador, to talk about immigration issues.\nMéxico was ready to talk about this BUT the US government officials talked about an investment of 1.4 BILLION DOLLARS for México ?? INSTEAD. Sooooo… USA is not doing its part for this.\nUS wants a liquid propane pipe line from Texas to Sonora and from Sonora to Veracruz. And for the “ITSMO DE TEHUANTEPEC” another multimillion investment. I mean; thank you USA… But they won’t touch the issue of immigration with the Mexican Government. Sooo who is at FAIL ??

Honestly I feel so bad for any immigrant trying to escape the harsh life on the other side, hoping you'll find peace once you leave, it hurts seeing these people, most of them just want a good life, to be able to give that to their kids, Mexico has gone to shit, the rich don't suffer like the rest, they have protection, while the rest have to suffer from idiots who want power, their president doesn't even care about their people, it's horrible, it's not safe for them especially the children, I hope one day they can be happy.

Either we fix Mexico’s problems because the president is too p*ssy to handle it himself send us marines we want some fun we bored out here

Why is this happening you ask? Cause the current president wants to play stupid. Wait! Is he playing or is he just plain stupid?

They need to pass an amendment that they get no welfare, free housing, or medical insurance. They’re not entitled to enter or receive anything from Americans and they’ll pass 7&8 countries when they’re supposed to go to the first country they come to. People should come in legally not just think they can invade illegally. There’s no way they can vet all these people and this president is endangering Americans. Also we don’t want America looking like a slum.

WANT this Fixed America??? BRING BACK PRESIDENT TRUMP !!!

Ah, look, the voters who progressives want to destroy our country. President Trump should deport them all.

We had a President that was against this, that wanted a wall. Now, we’re giving free housing, food, phones, healthcare, paid job training and even higher education, and the list goes on! I’m not sharing my opinion on social; however, I am stating a fact. I’m not going to comment on what I think would happen if just one or two families left this group and went down the road a few miles and found another way in. I’m not saying that’s right, but say it’s what happened… they’d get the above. I also see many comments here saying these people should fight for their country and try to make it right… well, I don’t see Americans standing up to our government and doing what is right. Look at what is happening to our own country right now! We are about to have no religious freedoms, and no democracy anymore, all because we aren’t using our own voice. One world government and one world religion. That’s what we’re headed for. Oh, and a cashless society, all while we are being monitored the entire time. I hope this is what you want. Personally, I won’t be here. Maranatha! ?️???

That’s what your president wants. ?

This happened when your president signed the paper\nThis just didn’t start in October. Remember and I am sure you do. When he sign an executive order after his inauguration. Now you want to be concerned ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

This is what you wanted CNN. This is proof that they don't want to come in legally. They just want in. So while this happened how many got in because all hands were there. They are still chanting Valenzuela. Not America. The Biden Administration is a failure. Send AOC and the Vice President there now to deal with this.

Remember when president Trump wanted to build a wall and secure our border and was labeled a racist? Cause I sure do.

This is the result of your president you voted for… this is what you voted for this is what you wanted… what?? You dont wanna claim him now??? Just wait till title 42 expires… remember to thank your president.. LETS GO BRANDON

The president can change this joe biden wants this

I’m truly sorry there are tears because these people have come a long way and were lead to believe—due to the liberal open-border policies of the current U.S. regime—that their border crossing experience was assured, that it was in fact a done deal … and further, that they would be showered with free lodging, free food and medical care, baby formula, new phones, and a monthly stipend … JUST for crossing into the United States illegally. That Joe Biden —who doesn’t even acknowledge all of his OWN grandchildren—was somehow (because it’s true if you believe it, right?) their long-lost and hitherto unknown grandfather, their abuelo and dispenser of largesse, wide smiles, and hair-sniffs.\n Why did he throw his arms wide and ask you to come hither, then, if he didn’t really want you to come in once you got here?\nPerhaps the capriciousness of old age, of ?dementia, of the intense pressures of ill-gotten high office and a forced recognition of the tears of those whose families have fallen prey to the criminal element ever-present among border-crossers?\n Why? You want MORE reasons? \nBecause the man needs VOTES and the country needs extreme disruption (as well as the impoverishment of existing social programs of Americans who will NOT vote for him) in order to increase his own brand of “law” enforcement martially throughout the nation and he’s gotta PREPARE—y’know? \n I am certain of Joe Biden’s sorrow that you were inconvenienced. After all, you did feel it was your “right” to get in, and a few short weeks ago Joe would have agreed with you. But timing is everything in this current business of dirty politicking and unfortunately you missed the unannounced cut-off. Anyway, this is President Biden’s own way of establishing what he likes to call “equity,” and isn’t it beautiful? Again, the President would like to convey his sympathies for your present inconvenience, and if you are ever in the area again in the future, please attempt to stop by. Perhaps at that time it will be a more propitious moment to receive you properly. \n Bye, now. Do remember that Kamala and Joe love you. Be safe!

You wanted Biden for president so don't complain now!! This is Biden for you!!

Now you see WHY President Trump wanted to continue the WALL ... ? IT WASN'T for LOOKS!! It would be nice that people can LIVE anywhere but if WE would RESPECT each other & WORK and NOT TAKE THINGS for FREE!! People are breaking into homes instead of working ... FREE is CHEAPER so SAD ... SOME people just want to better their lives!!! And to see parents have their children with them ? ... People wouldn't leave their country if their President loved/cared for their people MAKE YOUR COUNTRY GREAT ... ?

?? That's what your President wants open the border .He will help them.

They just keep disrespecting USA and our wonderful president and VP is encouraging it by doing nothing. How about if all these young males want to enter our country and join one of our armed services for four years and then get their citizenship when they are done with their four years? Learn a skill and become an American. It’s a win-win

Thank you ppl gone realize trump really was the only president that kept it a hundred he told us the truth about Chia Mexico crooked Hillary in he was gone expose a lot of shxt that's why they wanted him outta office??????????

This is truly sad and disgusting We are going through a lot With our own citizens That there’s so much people losing everything But all these people want to come to United States By forced Wail Americans are suffering Who cares about us Not this evil toxic president or the government What about us There’s nothing for us But paying for something we didn’t vote for Violence Crimes Drugs People killing our youth wail in school No apartment’s But We must suffer This is disgusting ? For us I pray that This ends immediately Enough is enough We as citizens must do what ever is necessary ????

NO MORE IMMIGRANTS WE NEED OUR GOVERNMENT TO SEND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ON THE FIRST THING FLYING OR BOATING OUT OF THIS COUNTRY WE ARE OVER IT ‼️ IF THEY WANT A BETTER LIFE THEN THEY NEED TO MAKE THEIR OWN COUNTRY BETTER DON’T COME HERE AND RUIN OUR COUNTRY THE WAY THEY DID THERE’S WE AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP AGAINST THIS OR IT WILL NOT STOP‼️ THEY ARE NOT WANTED HERE‼️ THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO MAKE IT LOUD AND CLEAR TO THEM‼️ BUT HE WON’T BECAUSE HE’S THE ONE WHO CAUSED THIS CHAOS IN THE FIRST PLACE ‼️

Where's the president? for got he wanted this to happen. Trump wouldn't have let this happen
