Such a bittersweet scene. People so desperate to gain entry into the USA. But, we can't even take care of our own citizens. Homelessness, drugs we can't even clean up our own cities. Let alone take care of others not from the USA. I can't imagine how these people feel. Fleeing their country to gain entry into the USA. I feel so blessed to be an American. May God find a home for all these people.

I would like to pray for my brothers and sisters in the u.s I could not imagine what it would be like living in u.s as a African American let alone where I am living in Canada ?

Quit letting all these thugs into our country taking American Jobs

This is an invasion,l. No none should be let in.\n Americans will suffer greatly, and this may be the race war that has been spoken of amongst whites and blacks, but it may be between Americans trying to hold on to their country, from these illegal immigrants. That's what it's looking like.

This is a warning for Americans, That Socialism destroyed a Rich and Prosperous Country like Venezuela that has more Oil underground that Saudi Arabia!! Meanwhile the DEMORATS are dead set on turning the US into a Socialist Sh*t Hole!! Let's go Brandon!! \nMAGA2024 SAVE America from the Socialist!!

Big ? How many have Covid or something worse? Why would they let this happen to put all Americans at risk?

I’m an independent that usually votes Democrat, but the border should be a nonpartisan issue.\n\nAmerica is not like Europe. European countries are the sizes of states, and they have the European Union to cross govern.\n\nAmerica does not have a relationship with Canada or Mexico like any of the EU countries.\n\nWe cannot be letting this happen. I feel for the people suffering in Mexico, I truly do. But mass illegal immigration is not the solution.\n\nNo matter how bad things get in America, I will never just walk over to Canada and demand a job.\n\nOur societies have to function on a system, and that system demands legal immigration.\n\nWe have to do something, but when it’s a bridge like this…I don’t know what ethical solutions there would be. \n\nMaybe an electrical fence? The thought of a child being electrocuted because they were pushed into that fence is devastating to me; it would be heartbreaking to see anyone injured that way.\n\nWe can’t hurt these people, that’s not right. But we have to find some way of keeping them from crossing illegally.\n\nA wall, a mote, an electric fence—honesty, I don’t see how any of those would keep people out…\n\nIt’s just an awful mess. Forget Democrats versus Republicans. This is an issue every American should recognize.

Why are you swing this? \nThink about this for a second. Why would you flood the borders of America with foreign nationals???\nTo weaken the country. Stop letting them do your landscaping...fix your house. Hire American contractors. Don't hire immigrant janitors ...your gonna wake up one day and America will be Mexico

We are dealing with our own shit. These illegals have no plan. They’ve done nothing but take up space and tax dollars. Our government could literally run out of money and Americans are struggling. Let’s help the migrants right?!

Shits tough but let me tell you this my fathers on the other side right now and he didn’t have a choice: My damned American government took him right in front of me and sent him to that hell hole, no fucks given without a chance to say goodbye you all talk about helping the people who are already here, he was here once where was your help then

Honestly our country has enough problems of its own. We can't keep letting people just walk in. Taking skilled jobs from hard working Americans, and lowering wages. Especially given current issues that plagues most cities.

when Americans want to do agriculture/manual labor that these immigrants do for us for ridiculously cheap let me know. keep it legal, but don't shit on people for changing their quality of life

Our US government snuffed out their oil industry because it would be to competitive and now they are letting these guys in to snuff out the the Americans..nice government we got?

Glad Desantis made it illegal to be in Florida BIDEN JUST LETS THEM ALL IN INSTEAD OF HELPING AMERICANS.

Dont let them in. They will be on YouTube comments making fun of Americans.?‍♂️???

I say let them all in. They’ll build their own houses and strengthen the economy they spend money on goods and services. Americans are scaredie cats - what are you scared of?? Why can’t you just let them in???

I am a black south african and live In Edmonton Alberta since 2010 I worked hard and built a life for my self and my family I have never gone through any racism in Edmonton Alberta Canada I have white black and native American friends if anyone should be complaining about racism in Canada it's the native American people let's not talk about how us as black people treat eachother that comes from different African countries we have no love for one another

Let them all in they have more culture and American spirit than half of Americans.

Let them in we need more hard workers who don’t live off the government like most the Americans here who have everything in hand but still wanna be fed in the mouth, Mexicans anyone who isn’t of this country would greatly appreciate a good blessing

fuck dat shit we gotta hold it down , we can barley feed our Americans let alone or vets we just forget about them its sick.

As an American I say let em in

Let them stay on the street. I don't feel bad for any of them. They would not get by with this with any other country. This is unfair to Americans and the people who came here and did it the right way. Such disrespect

The issue here is not that we have a housing crisis , first of all let’s start with honesty. I have multiple friends from different culture backgrounds, however, one thing that sticks out to me , and some of you may not want to hear it , it’s that most of my friends that are predominantly “white” have become homeless or nearly missed it by being able to get some rental assistance either through local or federal grants. With that being said, I’m an American as well but in all reality it’s mostly immigrants or their offsprings that I witness myself still living regularly even during and after covid,why is that ? Why ….

Land of the Free and a home of the Brave. A sanctuary country right? We the people? Human beings are trying to enter into a free country. What's the problem? They are not dogs and cats who need paper work like licensing or A.K.C. Registration. When are we gonna get it right? I'm a black man in America. Yet I know Love lives matter. It's about the blood of Jesus. Sure let's do things decent and in order but I'm tired of seeing our people on this planet struggle to walk on free land. Let's continue to respect our Native American brothers and Sisters too. We have a history as mankind we must not go backwards. We gotta call on Jesus to help us find the correct way to do this people. Come on. We gotta humble ourselves and pray for specific problem resolution regarding immigration, freedoms, love and respect, cultural awareness, differences urgencies, priorities and authorities. IM TEARIN UP GUYS. ? I AM GOING TO GOD IN PRAYER. MY NAME IS JOSHUA. WILL ANY ONE TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME? PLEASE DO. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS FROM GOD. A THUMBS UP WILL MOTIVATE ME AND INCLUDE YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH MINE. OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS. I BELIEVE HE WILL HEAR US CORPORATELY. I HAD A VISITATION FROM AN ANGEL AND I DO KNOW THAT GOD IS WITH ME WHEREVER I GO. SOME THINGS ARE ONLY SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME IN JESUS NAME, THAT THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. AMEN??????

Try this going into any other country where the military men don’t wear dresses snd the government legalize mutilate children. Oh wait \nThey’ll shoot you. But america lets them do it snd then they come here and tell Americans their country snd flag are nothing.

Latino here. But nahhh too many people chill out. And also unfair to the people who came here legally with the process. Yes it’s a country of immigrants initially but come on now let’s not get it twisted Americans are what makes America great. Mix of cultures and races but we have a process that needs to be followed.

Let them in. They are my americans

These are the people that actually work in your country. Americans have let yourselves down. You don't want immigrants here, then get off your ass and get to work. They are here because of opportunities that most Americans feel they are above!

This is the reality of the Biden administration......no concern for American citizens. Let illegals flood into our country...& give them everything they want, on the U.S. taxpayers dime.....what a DISGRACE !!!

Let's not vote for Joe Biden. Is responsible for this chaotic mess that America is currently in. Without to mention all the billions of dollars that go to Ukraine the money of the American people

Americano are European, these are the real Americans. U can see from the skin . Let them in

I hate to see Mexican Americans working in law enforcement to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country like legit if it was up to me I don’t have a problem with it but I can see why our country has issues with that due to the economy misbalance that can occur. At the same time those cops are just doing there jobs just like me and you. But who knows maybe they let one or two slip obviously not everyone.

You know all sleepy Joe Biden and all the leftists are going to let These people vote but American citizens with a felony cant Shows you what they’re doing

The Americans should sign for an open season and let the PURGE begin.

Throughout history, there have been migrations to more abundant resources and the hopes for a better life. That's how this country started, but at least you don't see South Americans committing genocide to get the land of current americans. Let us not be hypocritical, but instead have compassion for each other.

In Texas it’s hard enough to get a job if you’re not bilingual. And by bilingual I mean strictly English and Spanish. French, German any other language doesn’t matter if you can speak it. Seams hypocritical if you ask me. But that’s the American policy.. we send our hard earned money to other countries to help them while we suffer and on top of that we now give our American jobs to immigrants so the can better themselves. Let’s forget about all the homeless vets. Nowadays a college education doesn’t even make a difference anymore. This is all going to get worse across the country because they all can’t stay in the border states. I can tell you the homicide rates in border states is already so high from these Hispanics. Soon the cartel will be running America and you’ll see 10 year olds walking around with machine guns and decapitated corpses laying in the streets.

So we Americans will be flipping out our hard earned money to feed, house and provide healthcare to people who are illegally in our country????? That’s just not RIGHT!! Let’s take care of our owned people first!!

Joe Biden has took homeless vets out of there motel rooms and let the homeless have them they don't care nothing about American people all they care about is destroying this country and fill their pockets full of money and turn this into a communist country

Yup. The Biden admin told Venezuelans and Cubans that they are not welcomed here. Meanwhile, cartels are... I wonder why...\n\nAnd in the meantime, veterans are left without homes to allow illegal immigrants space in hotels, Americans can't afford higher education, let alone a house in many instances, and property is being bought En masse by people like Gates and companies like Blackrock...\n\nDo we even matter? Do we, the people that live here, legal immigrants, born in America, matter? Do we? CNN why don't you make that question for us?

Or let's BUILD UP OUR OWN. In this time of transition, where the American empire is at it's end. Let's seize the moment.

These people need to stand and fight for their own country like Americans have done and will need to do again. U don't leave what u let break and take everything from others.

This is happening right now. Every single American, regardless of your political affiliation, needs to speak up, and we need to stop this. Our country has changed, and is changing forever with all of this illegal nonsense coming in. This is changing America forever, and it is happening right now. Let’s go Brandon.!!! worst president in the history of presidents. Oh, and Kamala as borders czar… is doing a bang up job. She’s pathetic. Has she found the root causes yet? Laughable, on your tax dollars.

It's funny watching Caucasians flip out over something their ancestors done. They need to let Native Americans make the immigration laws.

All for show to make Americans think they are trying to stop the invasion. Off camera they are letting them come in by the thousands.

Let them come thru. They work harder than most Americans do. Who builds are highways, schools, and houses? They do. We have homeless Americans begging for handouts everyday but u don't see immigrants doing that. Go look at any construction crew or people that work the slaughter house. I bet u won't find many Americans that want to do those jobs

Please, do not let them in,, there’s not even a room for us, Americans, in our own country

What Americans do not understand is that there are people in other Countries who are starving because their Countries have gone bankrupt, or their government system has collapsed in those Countries. Venezuela, Brazil, Greece, Pakistan, Argentina, Haiti, Cuba, and a whole list of more of which media is not telling the American people. America itself has put those living here at risk, for refugees to come in in drones, because the more illegals they let come into America, and allow to get their citizenship, the more individuals they have who can vote either Republican or Democrat. Why, while Trump was President, did he not finish building the wall to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants from coming in over the border, when he had the resources to complete the wall on his watch? And why is Biden and Kamala just sitting back and allowing these illegal immigrants to enter the US in herds? Because there is another election coming up soon, and they have to allow these scenes to be portrayed in order to help shape the minds of the voter here in the US. The American people need to wake up and stop fighting against each other, and work together to help vote for a Presidentsl Candidate who will actually do something to change the narrative at the Border and to help the American people here in the US first. What a mess on both watches, democrats and republicans!??

Native Americans would have let them in.

Let them in... Americans done wanna work

american citizens can barely take care of themselves let alone illegals.
