Why most Americans want the boarders secure. These people don’t follow immigration rules, you think they’re gonna follow Americas rule of law? This goes to all who try to enter illegally, not just south of the boarder but Asia, Europe, everywhere.

Yes and if these people truly believed in God and Jesus they wouldn't run from their countries but actually stay on the ground and stand strong in their faith that God and Jesus are going to help them persevere through all this. As a fully disabled American citizen with a child that doesn't even get $1,000 a month and there's no available housing at all where I live no waiting list to go on people on SSI disability don't get any extra housing help we're not offered separate housing are put on separate lists and low-income Able Body people or the migrants jumping the Border but I was born and raised here paid taxes and worked until my body literally couldn't anymore but I don't hear anybody bitching and screaming and crying about the fact that my son and I would be on the streets if it hadn't been for one of my family members stepping up and giving his housing after a lifetime restraining order issued during my pregnancy on my son's biological do do with domestic abuse situation. I'm also US citizen that spent time in the Wards in Houston and projects and other cities and if you don't think that we don't have the same gun violence drug trafficking human trafficking gangs take it over cartels taking over neighborhoods and communities than you're freaking lying to yourself and everybody else. The same s*** that's taken over these countries is taking over the inner cities have been for decades and these are the same communities that most of these people will end up in. No it's not about not being good Christians part of being a good Christian is reminding people to stand their ground and have faith in Jesus and God and their own home territory and not to give it up to the crime people in the bad politicians. You can't say you believe in God and Jesus Christ and then he's got your back while you're running and that's the truth in the reality that nobody wants to hear the more people run from these countries the more the bad people are able to take over and then we get complaints here in the states about the cost attacks is rightfully so. For those people screaming and shouting that everybody should go out pick up in my grant and bring them home to their house and feed them and take them and I challenge you to do the same thing for homeless before you even do the migrant do homeless American citizens go out and really educate yourself because I'm totally tired of hearing from Americans that the only people that live on the streets are people with mental health problems that need mental health treatment or people that are stoned out and that's where they want to be you guys are so f****** wrong and this is coming from someone that met homeless people spent time around homeless people and understand we have a society that wants to paints a very different picture than what's truly going on because then it allows for hey it's not our problem they want to be there. I will say there's two I'm sure a lot of people are attracted to come into the United States I mean it's kind of turned into the Devil's Playground don't you think I mean look at how ostentatiously people live the projects on the backs of taxpayers selling dope holding down dead-end jobs to make it look like they're working all while going out and getting their hair did and their nails done and their eyelashes done and pimping out their cars and all that b******* and buying all this you know high-end tennis shoes and f****** clothing and Handbags and s*** and then we have the part of the United States that justified of themselves all the time or it's okay to have this huge palatial house or have multiple houses I'll we have United States veterans living on the streets or people that truly have disabilities that have been a waiting list for 2 and 3 years for housing. I remind people all the time and they hate hearing this s*** Jesus never had a house as a matter of fact Jesus basically live like a homeless person after he was an adult particularly and God made sure he was provided for. I mean did you all forget the night they came to take them away they were asleep in an Open Garden it wasn't like they popped up tents or glamper camper sites had some little Adobe type cabins they were sleeping in. As a matter of fact if you pay attention to most of the stories about Jesus and talking about him sleeping he does a lot of sleeping Outdoors. Remember God is a father that's how he's been represented and talked about in the Bible and Jesus was a man without a doubt no biological transgender question ability there. People need to remember that part of being a fair and loving. Is also teaching and discipline and these children following rules. I don't believe hearing God and Jesus telling all these people run from your countries and not have faith that I'm actually going to fix things for you and go run to somebody else actually go run to the United States where all those stuff is traveling through. I never understood the logic of that it's like rats run from the country where they're making the drugs to the country that supplying the globe with it and we're all of these bad people have thousands of people in planted everywhere with guns and hookups. I don't know why people don't understand that we have dirty lawn forcement in dirty politicians that are in bed with the dirty drug cartels that's as much as they are in the country. You don't think that there's not decisions made in the United States based on drugs and I'm not talking about how to put it into them but how to keep them flowing. I have Fred still in Florida and we were all making jokes about how quickly Sanibel Island all the way up to st. Pete got Mainland access so quickly after the last major hurricane that took everything down and we all know what it's from is because that portion of Florida is used to bring a lot of drugs in from South America, Central America. So for all of you that want to post your personal assumptions about homeless people because that's all it is unless you've actually been homeless or spent time around homeless you really have no clue what's going on in the homeless population except what you've been told by the same political talking head media bulshit that's been lying to everybody about a bunch of other stuff too. Don't you get it the politicians don't want people knowing that a lot of the people that are homeless on the street are people that are disabled and aren't disabled because they have mental health problems I know that's the narrative they've been trying to stuff down people's throats.

At least the American border force tried stopping them. In Europe, people throw out a welcome mat. Absolutely disgusting.

Imagine being lied to, to the point that you run to a country that will treat you like a 2nd class wage slave and put you in a concentration camp until they can figure out what to do with you. If you want freedom and liberty get on a boat and find an African country with no or little taxes. Meritocracy is dying in the west and it's because large American companies love cheap low skill labor that won't complain as they are being worked to death for pennies. Leave it to the cartels to not only tear down and destroy their own but also the lives of everyone trying to escape tyranny. The only opportunity here is the opportunity for immigrants to be taken advantage of by either America or the cartels.

They should rush they're own government like this and make the change they are seeking when they come here !! It useless to rush the border I mean why put your shit on our country and our people.. if your unhappy with your country and you don't have the opportunity that your seeking in your country then blame your government and rush them !! They're the ones keeping you down and making life hell for you and your families, while they sit in they're rich ass' watching you suffer and starve !! And if you have a problem with drug cartels then again rush your police or military and take what you need to go and kill the people who are running the cartels !! It's common sense.. but to rush out border and try to come here illegally just makes the American people not want you here even more !! And I can see that these people are eating better than the homeless people here .. even the inmates in our country are starving but these people look pretty dam healthy to me !!

My work which is at a hotel just got a bunch of Puerto rican immigrants who are working and living at the hotel for free and they get paid and they treat all the other workers with disrespect and leave everything a mess and break rules constantly and can’t even talk to the managers and we’re all trying to be as understanding as we can be because I honestly can’t imagine going through immigration like that but still there’s no rules for them and meanwhile us other workers who are American and don’t get paid as much and don’t have the amenities that they do it’s just kind of a ridiculous situation in my opinion. There’s no structure or organization with it and it doesn’t make sense that we’re illegally transporting immigrants all over the us and giving them the free pass for most all things without even going through the legalization process. Like I can completely understand immigration and see nothing wrong with it when it’s done legally, but I don’t understand why we’re disregarding the people already in the long process of legally immigrating. I might just be very ignorant in the issue but that’s my personal take on the issue. It doesn’t make sense to me. I will say I have absolutely nothing against any person who’s an immigrant but just the rules and regulations surrounding the situation. I don’t mean to step on anyone’s toes or offend anyone.

Are these migrants American,or did they come to the USA illegally ,and trying to cross to Canada.

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...

. . . sad reality is that Europeans specially the English were trying to escape the crown or monarchy when they landed here without so much an invitation and after the American Natives helped them to overcome so many hardships they turned on them and illegally appropriated their lands just like Spanish French Dutch or others and then I turned sold it to each other as if they had bought it or somehow belonged to them or had rights to . ! !\nand that's really sad . ! !

I'm Mexican American and this is bullshit!!! I hate that they keep trying to come to America!! Do it like my grandfather did and do it FUCKING LEGALLY!! Ustedes estan poniendo no otros de America en pinche peligro.

No this is ridiculous!! Why haven't they taken care of this BS we can't allow illegals to come in unpoliced to come in!! How many Chinese says trying to get un!! Guarantee someone wanting g to do America harm!! Your bkrder should of been closed as of 9/11!!! They want to kill all Americans!! WIZE UP AMERICAN FOOLS IN GOVERNMENT.......

Maybe they feel Americans are enslaved by their government and they’re merely trying to help you have a truly free and truly democratic country?

Smart Americans: They are trying to replace you. Do not let them, this is the only free place in the known universe.

that is a foreign invasion and should be handled with military force. that is Mexico trying to take parts of our country. Mexico fixes herself, or we erase it. START ASKING AMERICANS HOW MANY OF US WANT WAR WITH MEXICO! IT IS THE MAJORITY.

The cool thing Mexican government is trying to help the American border control alot people don't know that mexico doesn't want them to illegally immigrate either

If they would stop showing how\n American's are getting stimulus checks on Google news, and other media platforms. Then maybe we wouldn't have so many people trying to come to America for free money. ? There giving away free money in America. ? What, America here I come.

We are being invaded the military should be there to protect our borders this makes Americans look extremely weak terrorists can come through that border without even blinking an eye I guess you could say whatever happens happens NPR own fault what do you think would happen if we were trying to get into their country would be shot

The Northern Border is a joke they discriminate against Americans I tried it to just experiment which is more messed up Texas Arizona Cali or Plattsburgh Ny they don’t feed for shit in Canada you need documentations unlike The States get accepted with open arms shit is sad and they don’t have an alarming number of foreigners like Mexico and The US

Americans think that this people trying to enter by force.\nare all Mexicans (totally not) \nThey are from all around the globe \nBut not Mexicans. \nIt’s very very simple. \nMexicans don’t qualify for asylum ??‍♂️

Meanwhile cartel crossed the desert unharmed because they killed all the immigrants trying to pass through the desert ?. And that’s just one route the ones underneath are tunnel networks. And that’s not the worst gutting humans and stuffing them with drugs all while those organs are sold on the black market. Like the Native Americans nothing goes to waste.?? ????

They have 0 zero respect for our country. It's not America's fault that other countries are so dangerous to their own people. That being said, yes, morally we should help people. But the people in need of help need to be respectful and follow the boundaries (laws) of the country trying to help. This is ridiculous and dangerous. They are not US citizens but they think they can just push their way into our country. We as Americans from USA are not allowed or able to do this to other countries

You see this because you all cried racism bs when trump tried to make sure the boarder was secure and build the wall, so we could try to fix our country and the millions of folks here suffering and then build build us to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN so we can help folks in need. And be sure that people with I’ll intentions can not rush the boarder like this incase any, if not many of those folks were here to do harm or to our country or Americans that live here. And this is what you get for playin identity politics. Now the left will do as they do and try to say Trump and Patriots let them in. Wtf.

How much more are we, the native and legally earned American citizen’s, going to take from this dumb ass President and his cabinet of fools?\nI’ve had more than enough and it’s way past time the American people reinstate President Trump. \nOr have the democrats caused enough confusion by trying so hard to find criminal charges against Trump that we’ve started to believe the Bullshit Pelosi wanted us to believe even before Trump took office? \nI’m so disappointed that our government does nothing to halt the situations Biden has us in now that are truly detrimental to our way of life and will haunt our children and grand children for decades to come. I love my country with a passion and I truly hope there are some intelligent politicians that will finally put a stop to Biden and his poorly implemented policies and decisions that we are forced to endure. This dumb President must be stopped now, but it may already be too late. Yet I still say Power to the People so let’s do something about it. If Biden really won the election, those who voted for him should be very ashamed of that decision. \nLet’s reinstate the man who really was making America Great Again.

Go away. Illegal is illegal. Any other country would not be so nice if americans tried this.

United states loves installing pro corporate puppet dictators in 3rd world countries as wellxas destablizing the nation through various policies. And then here comes intellectually lazy americans talking shit about these poor families trying to escape for the sake of their children and themselves?? You ppl really aint shit. You ppl hardly can name 5 ppl in charge of your local governments. But i bet you can recite all the names on your favorite foot ball team. Pathetic world we live in. Least you can do is make sure your leaders are held responsible for causing such destablization in south america. But nope ignorance is bliss. Its easier to be heartless towards the less fortunate. The have nots.

Native Americans trying to migrate up north to reclaim land from the white man

They called Trump racist for trying to stop this kind of thing from happening. Fucking American hating, agenda pushing, idiots trying to run us straight into George Soros' latest, and last, socialist product in this world. United States is done. Thank you communist party of USA.

How is this not considered a hostile invasion and why isn't the border protected like other counties where trying to sneak in is considered a threat to security of its citizens. Theres a right way, but much like the entitled generation that has started its way into government, they have always had money and most likely have never been the victim of a violent home invasion. All these undocumented people are essentially criminals, theres no way to identify them so they can run rampant and create chaos causing serious situations for citizens all while getting everything they want for free and leaving a huge trail of unsolvable homicides in their wake. Millions of leaches that have never paid a dime into this countries assistance programs are bleeding us dry while working under the table and selling their food assistance money while creating Millions of victims in the process. Our president is letting this happen while working with China which is who sells the South American countries the illegal chemicals for drug production and these people are coming here and literally tearing the country in half. They steal guns rob and kill people with no real punishment, yet a good hardworking citizen shoots one whos burglarizing and the community wants that citizens blood when hes done everything legally and protected his family and gets crucified for being a productive law abiding citizen versus a parasite that is only here to take everything they can

Americans going and trying to start a coup in Venezuela is an invasion… people trying to find a better life is not… with that logic… Anglo Saxons are an INVADING species to the Americas.

I came to the US legally, paid tons of money and time go through the lengthy process, if you tried to run the border like that where I originally come from, you will be greeted with 7.62x39 AK full auto. These people are abusing the civility and respect of human life that Americans have, this is wrong and unfair for the people that made it here legally and paid a high price for it.

CNN will go and show American taxpayers the truth about the border to Canada but they won't show American taxpayers the drugs and gangs and human trafficking and millions illegals crossing the southern border so until Americans really wants the truth try watching a honest news network not the propaganda CNN

Canada need to build a WALL between US and Canada! too many illegally American trying to cross into Canada

See when Mexicans were the majority coming over, they all went undetected thru the desert etc. but these New Migrants are all trying to go thru the Big Door! They want immediate legalization and all the American Rights at once‼️ It doesn't work that way folks ?

Don’t be deceived, the video is showing Americans trying to enter Mexico.

Actually I’m a Canadian and here in British Columbia we are actually not snowy people I never have seen maple syrup before and also we are more like skilled fighters kinda like mandalorians off Star Wars and we are also very technologically advanced like wakanda compared to other countries and we are kind honourable respectful and also are more like the warrior elites of humanity also other countries see the us as a place where Americans are rude racist sexist criminals corrupt and don’t care about anyone else but themselves also compared to our military the us military are defective also don’t forget the technology and money ways is good also we don’t start wars but are always willing to help you win the wars you struggle to win America also at the same time being the actual soldiers winning it for you in your wars since yours can’t fight and are too rude and all that also we don’t yell at our soldiers in training we are nice and don’t say aye also don’t got those weird looking horse riding people and I have never seen a moose in the wild so maybe you should try looking in the library for once and not a corrupt one

If immigrants are trying to leave a country they spent thier life's saving to get to then you know we Americans should be worried

Lemme get this straight. South American migrants are trying to enter the USA in mass, others are leaving the USA to Canada as refugees, while people are leaving Canada to USA for better opportunities. Meanwhile both Canada and USA need more immigrants... What's going on here. ??

Everyone is trying to go north to Canada even Americans.

wait they talk about how bad there home countries are but are in America now and are trying to cross Canada illegally? they are just wanting free stuff. I am Mexican and grew up in America but learned from my dad that said these people ruin traveling as a Mexican for every law abiding citizen because it makes people think he's illegal. he even got arrested by border patrol because someone called saying he was illegal but he was actually an American citizen who did everything the legal way.

There needs to be an effort to deal with reasons for the migration in the first place. Many Central American countries are run by violent gangs like MS 13 and drug cartels. El Salvador's president is trying to tackle the problem with mass arrests, yet some are decrying this because the arrests violate these individuals rights. How about the rights of law abiding citizens to not get raped and murdered.

We are so blessed to be Canadian or American ❤ we should try to help others I felt bad for those people walking especially the little kids in such a cold weather ?

Look at america now it's becoming a 3rd world country. Immigrants have more freedom then citizens. They are even bringing the fentanyl in and yall could care less. Let the mafia in as well godbless you trying to say that the land was stolen and no one is illegal on stolen land now you guys wanna bring in more invaders onto my land I'm a native American you guys will destroy my home again

This flood of people trying to force their way in has to stop. The GOP wants to take benefits away from American citizens...we can't keep letting people flood over our borders. mexico should stop them from entering a d roaming through to the US

This whole situation is untenable. It is devastating to the migrants that have to leave their homes and try to enter either the United States or Canada to apply for asylum. No amount of border protections or treaties or walls will solve the problem. And that problem is the political, economic, and social conditions in their countries of origin. In my opinion, Canada and the United States (more so the United States) need to step up to see if there’s any way to help politically and economically stabilize those so people would not need to leave their homes in search of a better life. Yes, it would cost money… But there would be definite dividends in the future as we would no longer have to invest as much money on our borders. I very much realize not only the complexity of the problems in Latin American countries, but also the complexity of what I am suggesting. But everything we have done so far has been useless, so we need to change our thinking.

Sorry but no. I don’t feel bad for them. They’re trying to force their way in by breaking the rules. They have already shown they would not be good citizens & promote lawlessness! That isn’t what we need. \nWhy don’t they go to Mexico City or some other South American country to wait? Those are good countries & there are jobs there.\nAlso I read a lot of times they’ll bring a kid along, that they aren’t related to, just so they have a shot of getting in. That’s a bit sick

This type of DESPERATION is not a good look for America. It reminds me of Afghanistan citizens trying to get out by hanging onto a MOVING PLANE, an INSURRECTION, EMBARRASSMENT at the border !! This is not the way to become an American citizen.

If you ain't willing to try to enter the U.S. illegally then you don't want it enough. These people are already showing an American can-do attitude

Why?\nWhy were Americans murdered and kidnapped. ?\nLet’s say they are you and you are them. They can stay and be assaulted as any male is eliminated. And you own nothing having nothing and the gangs are making their rounds \nIf that was you- you would attempt to try and make this kids have a better life? I absolutely would. Stay and die or run for it. What parent wouldn’t want better for their kids?

Many of the people here in the comment box trying to explain how cringy Canada is even who born and raised in Canada! I am pretty sure those people never have been to a country like Bangladesh, average part of India. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even imagine to write down such a bad words about their country. Here in south Asia, average people literally beg to their boses for their sallery unless its a high-end job. Its weird to hear I know but the reason behind is the combination of inflation and instability of work-life balance. As being raised in Bangladesh though an American I can tight the difference. You wont never feel it sitting there, atleast have a summer break to south asia. Good day

As an American with a Canadian dad... I gotta say the Tap Water thing hits hard! If I try to drink just tap water it tastes like I got it from a hose in my backyard. I've gotta use a Britta filter ALWAYS lol
