Thank you to every single democrat! This is 100% your fault. I think we need to start harassing democrats in public. We need to start using their own tactics against them. They have destroyed America. Congrats. At least I live in the mountains far away from any democrat. They are too weak to survive living here.

I wanna live in America for a ‘better life’ but I’m scared of the country. Like legitimately I question if going there to pursue my dreams is worth the risk of: natural disasters, shootings and terrorist attacks to name a few. Idk where I’d live but I am not living in anywhere with a high crime rate bc I’m not looking to get mugged or shot ?

Want to stop illegal migration? End economic embargos in Latin America. Live and let live.

America always got criticized about everything, but I do think America is one of the best country to live if you have money.

Build towns that are surrounded by walls give them a small space to live and build factories. Allow these people to have a small check and live and work in those small cities say in the middle of nowhere. Make them work for 1 year in those places and as long as they do good not crime and show up for work and take care of there living space then allow them to become citizens. That way you weed out the criminals and non hard workers. In 1 year you will have a good idea of who should be staying. Also its them paying for there spot and contributing to the us economy. Once they become contributing members of society and they get on there feet out of each check they will take a small amount to pay for all the resources that were used to help them. Also I belive the majority of the ones let in should be women and the young children. If I don't get free help working full time struggling they shouldn't either. Let's make america a manufacturing power house like we're were in the past and the only reason we are a super power now. Also do the same thing for criminals and the homeless teach them worth ethic and how to follow laws instead of giving them handouts to go buy more dope

Yeah, I've been talking to a Canadian over discord for almost 2 years now trying to learn more about the country and what he told me was shocking. Canadian make about 25% less and pay 33% more in taxes then American and somehow a house in the middle of goddamn nowhere cost as much as a house in Portland. If you live in NYC, SF, or LA yeah you can forget about buying a house but its not like in America housing is unaffordable everywhere like in Canada. In Texas, you can get a big beautiful house for 300k, the catch being that real estate taxes is really high and you still be paying that even after the mortgage been paid off. Florida is affordable but hurricanes, Cleveland is really cheap despite a good reputation, and a house in the rural areas is easily under 100k. Canada pretty much have no houses under 300k which is made worse by the fact that they make less, taxed more, investment is harder + more expensive, and it actually hard to establish credit because they don't have looser standard like in the US.

Why would anyone want to live in America though?

They are running for their lives. The drug war is out of control. What would you do if America had a drug cartel problem, murder, rape, kidnapping? We would run to Canada's borders just like this

America is so F--ked our politicians are more concerned about Votes to stay in power than do the right thing like securing our border .We have so many people living on the streets and it's getting worse

In Mexico you have zero welfare...no freebies... everyone must pay extortion fees to live.. that's why the rest of Latin America wants to be here.. everything is free for them ????

Y’all gonna keep letting everyone else from everywhere else come here and pretty soon we ain’t gonna have no where to live , watch . It’s already happening here in San Diego . America the Great let’s let everyone in so we can now live like shit and let’s give them money and help house them give them food stamps but if ur an AMERICAN u can’t even qualify for free child care to work and support ur family . Seems fair , NOT !!!!! \nI don’t care what country I are coming from . There’s a process to get here . I wouldn’t be able to just run and flea into another country and then come back whenever . There’s certain things I’d need to do . Don’t come for me either bc I got a black kid and a Mexican kid so I’m not racist but I live on a bordering city and I see it all first hand . America is starting to turn into china with all these density housing .

“We need to fix America first”\nJust say your racist. \nThese people are willing to work 1000 hours a week on a farm that supplies your grocery stores and you complain about having 40 hours a week with no pay. \nGo live in Phoenix Arizona and work outside and tell me you think anything is fair.

To be Venezuelan living in america, I feel extremely grateful to have this opportunity

we only have 11% of Americas population and most of us live in poverty, racism prevails in this country it doesnt matter what education you get, how hard working you are, etc, 110% a racist country

Having lived in south america I've seen how they vote for the most corrupt politicians and fuck their own countries. Sad. Go home and fix your own countries.

Why didn't they unload on them? Any other country probably would have. Where are they going to live? Our fields and forests are being razed. There's other ways to go about this. EVERYONE knows that if you need to sneak in somewhere than you're doing something wrong. America has enough problems as is. Not just with other countries but the one's that are deep inside our borders. Let's start by not hating women which can be broken into subcategories like getting paid as much as a male coworker and reproductive rights. Now their country's are aligning with all of the other countries that hate us. We need to know WHO we're letting in.

They know very little about what is going on in America. As American, we can't afford to live here. Rent is outrageous, food prices are off the roof, gas prices, life, car, rental insurance is so expensive. Their governments need to provide better living conditions in theirs own countries, so this type of eruption won't happen constantly??

We live in the AMERICAS with an S

America, the country everyone hates, but the country that every nationality, religion, race lives in.

It's unconscionable that we've invited people to come to Canada without actually following through on the promise we made to them in the first place. Was it all just sloganeering designed to appeal to liberal progressive NIMBYers? Was there ever any intent on actually doing something for these poor people beyond a sound bite or photo op? \n\nThe solution to migration because of war, terror, famine and so on is not by opening up the borders and allowing everyone in, the solution to mass migrations (over 100 million worldwide) is to tackle the conditions that make such migrations necessary. Almost without exception, each one of these migrant/refugee situations are the result of political problems that have to be tackled in those countries where the conditions exist. There are over 100 million people fleeing conditions that make life unbearable, even if we wanted to, how are we to take them all into North America? How does anyone propose we do that, and even if we could manage it somehow, another 100 million would show up on our doorstep next year...or next week...it's simply not possible or reasonable to expect us to be overwhelmed by wave after wave of the poor unfortunate. The solutions to war and famine abroad can't be found here and we need to make it plain that people who live in such conditions must first rise up to help themselves. We can and should help, politically, through foreign aid and individual donations (North Americans are among the most generous donators after all), and even militarily where feasible or possible. The UN and other coalitions of nations, must each take up the burdens before people smugglers take it up for them. We have our own problems to deal with here and I'm not willing to vote for promises made that were never meant to be kept.

The American businessman wants Mexico up here so that they can underpay them. A long time ago these same companies tried to move to Mexico and there was huge backlash. So they brought Mexico to them. Now that Mexicans are trying to come here they're trying to keep them out because they don't need all of them. America rose to power by exploiting blk ppl. They are doing the same thing again but this time they have to pay something. They can't get away with that slavery sht like they did in the past. Exploitation is a must here in America. They don't want to pay anybody a living wage. They want all the money And you get misery, Anguish, and poverty!!!!

does anybody remember the CIA or congressman who allowed cartels to control Central and South America well now they're controlling better and killing better people to want to live that way you made them live that way I feel nothing for Americans but disgust and contempt you can create a problem but be damned if you solve it

Look at all of them so happy you are all paying for their new living arrangements!! Maybe don’t vote in a senile old man America lol.

They couldn't afford to live here without all the help they get I heard Americans can go to Mexico and South America and live like kings

... ???? this has to be the season finally of America Inc \n\nIf rich countries shared wealth instead of just looting resources, non of this would have happened. These people are not criminals, they just want to live in a peaceful land, where they can work and raise their family.

Most of this people and their leader claim America ?? is the devil America is a problem the world has, so why are you running to the devils house and why are you people trying to go live with the devil I’m confused can somebody explain onto most of this country is hold your leaders accountable and stop supporting the leader, finger-pointing to the United States and other European country has the problem nobody’s saying that all the countries are perfect or they haven’t done anything wrong, but if you continue to look outside and not hold each other accountable but then you try to run and go be with the same people you claim you claim are your problem

I am latina and I live in central america and even tho I know that you Cannot talk about something that you are not experiencing, I have to say they are not running away from their goverment or because they have no way for living! They cannot pretend they can live for free in another country and have same rights that million of American citizens had paid for. They think they Can live in the USA and have everything for free without doing anything!

Personally America should stop letting everyone come in not just from mExIcO place is ran down government is as bad as Zimbabwe ?? no offense. Coming over here is not helping anything or anyone we don’t have any type of affordable housing if you come out to California get ready to pay 2400$ in rent or 5000 to keep a house in the pay area shits not sweet here. Even as a homeless person you gotta pay rent so no matter what you are still fucked just because you don’t hear gun shots no more doesn’t mean you not hearing people get robbed beat or jumped. Cops aren’t always around an people in California pray on the weak an it’s sad think smart what do you want to have an I’ve been living in California damn near my whole life.

Be prepared to live in a third world America. A country is it's people and if it's people r poor so will be the country. Trust and believe these people bring their dirty lifestyle with them, and my neighborhood is proof of this. A nice area with kept up yards no litter or graffiti. Now graffiti litter and filthy unkept yours . You'd think with 10 people living in one house, one of them could do some yard work, but that's not the case.\nSigned a minority in filthy California. Newsome sucks and is destroying California.

Biden is the biggest coward, liar, thief, and murderer by proxy that ever lived except Genghis Khan. My apologies to Genghis. Mexico just asked China for help. So now China will be right on the southern border of the United States. Flooding the country with spies. I guess this was Bidens plan all along. To torpedo the country in 2 1/2 years.\nWhere have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods ......\nI guess it's time to write eulogy for the United States of America. Biden has betrayed the United States on the most fundamental level possible.

Life must be tough if people would rather live in America the shit stain of the undies of the world ?\nPoor buggers

This is pure lawlessness entering.\nYou might as well open the doors & cages of every zoo and let all the animals run freely throughout your city because this is no different. Do these people look like they're coming to follow any laws of any country? Then literally breaking the laws upon entering this way and they're coming with nothing to offer only their hands out to receive whatever they think that they're entitled to. What country do you know what allows is? And have the ability to take care of all of these damn people before they even take care of their own who are living in the streets? America will not be able to recover from the stupidity this current Administration

Most Americans don't know how lucky they are of being born in United States, I am a Colombian living legally here in the US, but the sad thing is that I can't stay here forever, I am gonna go back to Latin America in 3 years because of my VISA

This is a sign of things to come. Soon half the world will flee the brutal autocratic countries they live in for the golden refuge they believe America to be. If only they knew the truth they would run home and take their country back.

Freebies won't survive anywhere, let it be America or Europe. THE LIVING COST THERE IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. \n\nIf they unit and put enough efforts like they do this to cross border to fight against their government, they'd see better side...

The lack of empathy here is staggering. Imagine if you lived every day not knowing where your next meal is coming from, surrounded by cartel violence, corruption, poverty, and war. Most of these people just want to find a better life. America used to be the land of opportunity where people can come from nothing and make a life for themselves. It’s a shame that Americans have become so greedy and selfish.

we can’t even find a home to buy that actually fits our family and our needs for less than 300k right now. and we make damn good money. and it’s still feelin hopeless and impossible. what the fuck. also idk how bad it is where they’re coming from but here is NOT the shining star it once was. this is one of the worst times in my lifetime to want to move to america and live the american dream. in my opinion. it’s aaaallll out of sorts right now. i wouldn’t even know where to start and it would take me days to list off the reasons.

They know they can come to America and get Welfare and live good

You know what's really sad?. A lot of Americans Hate America...and illegals are dying to Get IN America. Here's a suggestion, why don't you people that Hate America trade place with these people that are dying to live in America. . Okay, think about it.

America got places to house the homeless. There's a lot of vacant office spaces, warehouses, and worn down houses. Those could be converted and fixed up. \nHowever, you can't count the homeless of those who chose to live on the streets.\nThen, create policies for entry while also working with their government to bring their citizens back home.

They'll just come over and when they start living American lifestyles,they'll just talk about how proud to be Venezuelan they are,yet risked life and limb to leave for America

Sad you have people that will do anything to live in America. And you have people that live in America. But forgot to live. Rather be homeless. Drug addicted and lazy.

Your government placed unnecessary sanctions on them making their lives miserable. And yet you wonder why they flock into your country in their thousands, don't worry this is just the beginning, we are still coming in our millions and billions. Poor America???

THE SAD THING HERE IS THAT, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LOYALTY TO AMERICA. THEY KUST WANT TO COME AND MAKE MONEY AND SEND IT TO THEIR COUNTRY. IT DOES NOT BENEFIT AMERICA. I THINK THIS MAY BE PLANNED BY THEIR HOME GOVERNMENT TO DISRUPT AMERICA AND OTHER INFILTRATORS ARE INSIDE. THEY MOSTLY ARE GOING TO BREAK THE LAW AND OVERCROWD THE SYSTEM\nWE AMERICANS ARE REALLY STRUGGLING. CANT EVEN BUY A HOUSE WITH ALM THAT WE PAY IN TAXES AND SWEAT . YET THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING AND UNDER 3 YEARS WILL GET A HOME HANDED TO THEM . WHY\nWHY WHY- \nWHY ARE WE AMERICANS MADE TO GO THROUGH THIS KINDS OF HARDSHIP AND YET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MOST OF WHOM ARE HERE TO SUCK THE WELFARE SYSTEM GET PRIORITY.\nMOST OF THEM COMING IN HAVE MORE MONEY THAN AMERICANS \nAMERICAN GOVERNMENT, TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN CITIZENS FIRST . THIS IS THE RIGHT AND HUMANE THING TO DO ELSE, THE COUNTRY WILL LOOSE ITS FLAVOR.\nLet’s live in dignity. \nBEWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THIS DOES NOT APPLY ONLY TO VENEZUELAN BUT TO ALL OTHERS \n\nWHEN YOU COME IN LEGALLY, YOU BRING DIGNITY

Every one should live in America

If we could just do something about drugs in America, these poor people could live where they're from. No one wants to leave their home.

Denying people the right to not live in such horrible conditions is just wrong. What would you do if you were them? You would do anything for a better life wouldn't you? Screw the laws... history says enough about the illegal immigrants that created this country. Basic human decency says this is wrong. Let them all come here. Then they'll be nothing and America can expand. Just saying there's a lot of good that could come from expansion.

In my OPINION\n\nSadder REALity the US caused the DEstabilization of South America.\nPeople just want to live without the powerful murderous drug cartels trying to kill them if they don't work for them or give them their land\nIt's F'n' BAD in a lot of places over there.\nIf Our own State Department is saying,,\nStay the FUG out of there because they have mosquitoes that buzz by 300 to 400mph and can kill you\nIt's F'n' BAD there\nNO tourist to see here folks

Americans can't even find homes for themselves.\n\nVeterans are homeless...\n\nI heard this since I was a kid. \n\nI am 31 now with no children and a Wife, veteran of U.S. Army.\n\nWith no real income even though we are both teachers.\n\nDumbest career choice ever. \n\nWth is my kid supposed to think about higher Ed when they see there teacher working part time at a Chic FIL A? \n\nThat is messed up. \n\nOh yeah I also have 68k student loans they want me to pay on starting in June. \n\nBut no way to pay it. \n\nREVOLT ! RISE AMERICA! DEFEAT YOUR TYRANTS AGAIN! \nYOUR LEADERS ONLY SEE YOU AS SERVANTS AND DOLLAR SIGNS!!! They want us to hate each other and be divided.\n\nRISE.....RISE.....RISE!!!!!!!! \n\nWASHINGTON, JEFFERSON, FRANKLIN, ADAMS, ATTUCKS.\n\nLINCOLN, GRANT, \n\nWOULD NEVER HAVE STOOD FOR THIS.\n\nIF IM GONNA DIE A WASTE WHY LIVE IT?!?!\n\nWE NEED REAL CHANGE!!!!

Thank you, Joe Biden for destroying the last great Constitutional Republic the world has ever known! ?? \nCorporate totalitarian oligarchy communism, ready or not here they come. \nBest part about America’s open border policy, is the simple fact it has become by far the worlds largest mass migration ever recorded. \nIn most cases Taxpayers are now paying for much needed immigrants families to live here without having to ever work. For instance our super duper friendly neighbor Mr. Lu-Juan who just moved in to a 1/4 million dollar home with his new family, is reminding all of us on the block nearly every day how lucky he is, he constantly brags and goes on about his awesome free benefits, he say they are awesome, right ... He always saying “hay amigo, I have no debt, no credit cards, and I don’t even have to work”. Even though if you ask me or anyone with two working eyes, the children are definitely not his or hers, they receive huge tax free cash payments regardless if he works or not ever because he has a learning disability, I guess you know he’s been as he says, but I have my life in prison. He was telling me his family of five all in with a free housing voucher, food voucher, smart phone voucher, electricity voucher, transportation allowance, 100% total coverage for much needed dental care, the best of all they receive a gargantuan $7400 a month in cash benefit allowance for the entire family. Although it’s kind of sad that my friendly neighbor, Mr. Lu Juan Jesus Garcia-Mendoza briefly states every single time I see him as always kind of rubbing it in, that he sends back $5,000* every month to his other wife and kids? ????
