It sounds like the video is referring to people fleeing oppressive or difficult conditions in their home countries rather than staying and fighting back. If you’re talking about Venezuela and Hugo Chávez’s legacy, there are a few reasons why people might choose to leave rather than resist:\n\t1.\tGovernment Repression – The Venezuelan government, under both Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro, has cracked down on opposition, jailing political opponents, suppressing protests, and using the military to maintain control.\n\t2.\tLack of Resources – Many people in Venezuela are struggling just to survive due to hyperinflation, food shortages, and a collapsing economy. When basic necessities are scarce, organizing resistance becomes incredibly difficult.\n\t3.\tFear for Safety – Speaking out against the government or organizing opposition can lead to imprisonment, torture, or even death. Many people, especially those with families, may feel that fleeing is the only safe option.\n\t4.\tCorruption and Military Loyalty – The government has secured its hold by ensuring loyalty from the military and key institutions through financial incentives and control over resources. This makes any organized resistance much harder.\n\t5.\tHope for a Better Future – Many people feel they have a better chance at a stable, prosperous life by leaving rather than staying in a country where the political situation seems unlikely to change soon.\n\nFighting a government isn’t as simple as just deciding to resist—especially when the government has control over the police, military, and economy. For many, leaving is the only realistic option.

Migration forged humanity. Forced us to learn, adapt, and blend. The greatest human civilizations would have been nothing without immigration. Imagine what the human species can become if we learn to peacefully harness our very natural desires of movement, growth, and improvement.

CNN is becoming less credible day by day

Venezuela was great and let it become socialist. US was going the same route

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

Chuck Schumer said Democrats are aroused as MAGA cleans out the queers from the Military Forces. The US Transexual Military image has become very creepy.

Why am I not surprised at the idiocy of Trump and those around him..? I will never comprehend how a convicted felon can become president.

when did we become illegal is ok? and now people are surprised?

Can you believe how sinful , crazy , sick , demented and corrupt this world and this country have become ? The Bible has told us how all this would happen in the Last Days . Better get right with God people . Jesus is coming soon ??

These people use Trudeau's excuse as IS getting into Canada. I wish it was easy the way my family went through the eye of the needle to work with IRCC to become Canadian citizens, work and toiled to pay Taxes in this country for over 44 years! These people took a plane ride and demands to be better off than Canadian Citizens? 4:29

Disgusting!! They can't define what a woman is and they call themselves Trans woman!!!! CNN, Demoncrats and libs have become deplorables!

Well her pension will become nothing. She better retire and get her 17 years worth of service before Trump messes that up. ?

You don't become a she by wearing nails, long hair and makeup- nor do you become she by getting body parts exchanged. You can't change your entire body. Even if you changed everything the frame is still a he. You start with a he and you end with a he. \n\nNo trans person is signing up for cramps, menopause, premature gray, saggy breasts and a deflated stomach after childbearing. They want to wear heels and makeup and play dress up- so do the real women but many are busy juggling jobs, single parenthood, custody battles, managing budgets- all while trying to keep families glued together. Nobody is paying for them to get reconstructive surgery post childbearing so why do men who want to play dress up get to? I've met flat chested women that want or don't want larger breasts and insurance won't cover it but these clowns wanting to play dress up get it paid for? What a joke. Do you know WHY they get it paid for? Because the insurance companies identify them as men- if they were really identified as women than insurance won't cover it. Suck on that.

Who cares!? The military is already weakened by it's standards which have been driven so far down that this has become a major concern in 2025 along with not having enough available young males willing to fight for a corrupt regime.

They want to become criminals

The question is has he medically transitioned? Is he taking hormones? Because when someone is taking hormones or had a medical transition, they obsess about it. They have to dilate multiple times a day. Someone who is so concerned about becoming the opposite gender does not need to be fighting and protecting the American people.

Gay people don’t need years of surgeries and medications that make them ineffective and non-deployable. We don’t let with adhd join at all, because they might have to take a pill everyday… how can we allow someone to join and immediately become a human paperweight for 18 mon

I have Indian friends who support these rejections, as they themselves admit that Indian people often lack discipline and proper manners when travelling abroad. They criticise India for its poor reputation, blaming the behaviour of its citizens. They understand why some countries no longer want to accept more Indians, as they do not want to import poor behaviour or unhygienic practices that conflict with local social norms. The reality is that the Western world is changing and, at last, becoming less politically correct. The next country likely to face scrutiny will be Pakistan, due to the violence associated with its citizens. You may call us racist, xenophobic, or worse, but Westerners no longer care. We want cleanliness, security, and respectful social behaviour in our communities. If you don't want to adhere to these norms and values, then FUCK OFF!

Bye-bye, take a biology class before u become a leader, r vision a shrink

The government hired you as a male fighter pilot and later you switch genders and become transgender. Why?? Is it easier to climb the promotion ladder if you're of a certain group??

If they dont meet the medicial standard how did this person manage to become a navy commander.. doesnt even make any sense since thats an incredible acomplishment physically and mentally.

Theyre at low levels of recruitment because people dont want to be part of something embarrassing! Its embarrassing that America EVER accepted that men could become women or vice versa. It makes YOU look like your delusional too if you willingly become part of something so dysfunctional. The recruitment levels are ALREADY rising since Trump took office. Mention that on air!

US is becoming laughing stock of the world...

Please net zero migration, mostly from India, I personally will not want to live within major Indian population, I am sure current Australian Indian will not want to leave India and live in India again (if Australia become majority Indian)

India has alien technology now with the meetimg s taken place with aliens spacships....it has promised tto allow to enter their galAzy with a gifted spaceship ...the agreement has reach its point to have a lasting impact on india economy and technology far superior that exceeds time and space where all nation becomes primitive and unreaponsive to india new found wealth and power...the alien has invited 10.scientist for the first.tour of their galaxy to build trust and future exaleration.the world now will consider india as dominant threath...5his is not a joke.....it has been contact and meeting held between two parties and are deeply concern over the nuclear developments ...they said the nuclear test has cause a varition in their space momentum and mass routiine

India should issue condoms immediately and reduce its population. It's putting a lot of pressure on global immigration lines. If the country can't provide for its citizens with jobs, security and good living conditions it should reduce the population. Most countries including the US will be willing to donate condoms if needed, because it has become a headache to most of the world.

Robin Cole was a sex worker in Los Angeles and some idiot thought it would be a good idea to teach her to be a remote viewing psychic. Then at some point she caught the eye or was introduced to HW Bush. Shut the CIA down. They have become THE enemy of the taxpayer.

Time for those people go home. Man killing a college student to become a nurse. I want them go home and work out country.

Frightening. Expect it as the World becomes more violent.

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.

I have had 2 children in Canada, both being a cesarean birth, one head injury where I was in a coma for 3 months, total stay in hospital, 6 months, and had cancer treatment in hospital lasting 2 years, all while being a single father, raising my 2 girls, and I only paid my $58.00 healthcare premium paid 4 times a year, and nothing else. These hospital stays would have bankrupted me, 4 times over, if it happened in America. Until you start looking after ALL your people, you're 3rd world. Fact. Boot trump out, and put a real leader in charge, Kamala Harris. Become 1st world.

My family fled Cuba when communism took over, it took years and a lot of money to become a citizen. I Feel sorry for these people, but we must do it legally. They will never appreciate it, and many will just soak our system and pay zero taxes.

I found that Christianity in the poorer places in Mexico seemed more legit than much of Christianity in the US. There are very good things about the Mexican people. Jewish genocide resulted from fear about the Jew. Do not become afraid. Love overcomes fear. Love your neighbor as yourself. Take up your cross. You died and your life is hidden in Christ.

1- , 2 Colombian planes just arrived in the USA to take its deported citizens\n\n2- Venezuela doesn't allow deported Venezuelans from ANY country, NOT ONLY USA, a couple of S. American countries already tried\n\n3- If imported goods from Colombia become too expensive, then, that will benefit other countries like Ecuador and Peru that have the same type of goods that are imported from Colombia.. like coffee, flowers, tropical fruits, etc.\nAnd for those, like AOC, who think that they can't live without their Colombia coffee... well, they haven't tried Peruvian coffee, which is now considered among the best in the world \n\n4- The main reason why the Colombian government gave in to Trump's demands was not only bcz the tariffs but the fact that Trump threatened them with deporting and canceling all visas for all Colombian government members and their relatives........

Liberals just doing this to get votes … once they are re-elected (and believe me they will get re-elected because GTA and eastern Canada is absurdly stupid) they’ll get right back to the project of destroying Canada as it continues its journey into become a post national state without a national identity

The first thing Obama did after becoming president was to visit Hugo Chavez in Venezuela to be lectured on how to run a progressive socialist country. Chavez was his hero and model. Chavez looted his once rich country. Is this what the Dems. Want for the US?

Every nation should little by little build social structures,\nWith the help of other nations, if needed, or just become another state of USA ??, then equal opportunity

No one made the social net in Canada for us, we made it for each other. That's democracy. Having said, that, I use the healthcare system as little as possible while others are breaking its back with minor colds, especially since Covid. Fear of lack of healthcare was not the Canadian norm, but seems to have become that way resulting in people destroying a good thing and getting lazier about personal responsibility! So much talk about politics everywhere now and not much talk about responsibility for ourselves let alone our neighbours. Politicians are not gods!

Why doesn’t America just buy Mexico and more land so they all become citizens I mean it sounds like a bad idea but also bad ?

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….

People who escaped India and went to Canada did not become Canadians, but created another India within Canada. This is the clear difference between ordinary Asians and Indians.

Columbia is the toilet ? of the world !\n\nTrump made them his b1tche$ whilst playing golf . Trump is the MAN !!!!!\n\nTrumps done more in this term , than Dementia Joe dud in 50 years in office . How does a politician become a multi millionaire?? Corruption \n\n(trump isn’t a politician - no salary accepted , and made his fortune as a private citizen )

I tell you why?Because idiot is becoming light hitler

The price of hegemony. Ruining Latin America is what helped us become an empire.

They need too say there & fight the coupation in there own government , most countries in the world you try too charge in too a county they shoot you dead ! The illegal welfare here any more , illegal s go home or become a chaingang !

None of these migrant evacuating nations would allow millions of Americans to get benefits for anchor babies. Cant stand Rump but Phoenix has become little mexico...and not in a good way

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.

Why are they not going through the channels to become US citizens the legal and right way? I dont understand why they arnt trying to do it legally.

People will fight back. The more you block them off, the stronger the resistance becomes. What do you do now? It looks like things were better when there was some form of controlled flow of immigrants than this utter chaos. Even if I want to think that this invasion is not okay, it was the US who invaded all their ancestral lands first. Mexico used to be all the way to California extending to Texas. Now, US wants to annex Canada and Greenland.

More and more is becoming cheap and mean and what goes around comes around so remember to always be nice because once you reject nicer people it comes right back around to bite you in the ass and now that’s sorry!
