Can you imagine a lady on CNN saying I can’t believe what I’m seeing

I live in Toronto Canada and I’m sorry they keep letting people in , no one can afford rent, they say there’s jobs but it’s only for new comers, they get housings money and cars, it’s a sin that they don’t fix our economy first before letting 1000’s of people in , a lot of us are literally living pay check to pay check and barley surviving the immigrants are taking over..

Lmaoooo they’re crying because they can’t get here legally. Fuck off is all i have to say. I’m sick and tired of this.

Even tho I don’t think this is correct, U.S people luckily finds themselves on a good position to see this just as people making a tantrum to enter the U.S, proudly I say I’m Mexican American and I’ve lived in Mexico and Brasil as well, non of those Latin American countries I lived is as bad as Venezuela and even like that I’ve seen some very messed up shit, they are countries with a huge culture and beautiful but on the lowest levels it’s a pretty dark place to be…so for the USA people here that is heavily throwing shit, be some kind of human try to understand at least , I get it, I don’t think this is the way neither, but they are not just people trying to invade to take over or whatever, I even saw a comment saying that they should shoot those Venezuelans, the world is a pretty messed up thing now, and luckily or unluckily we don’t really know a shit about it, they are DESPERATE it seem like they were violent and most probably some of them tried to get violent but most of them is just desperate people trying to have it better in their only and one only lives..worst yet, if you have a kid, imagine how worried would you feel for not being able to provide your kid with a good life… see the people in the front for example, they were people begging and crying, is being desperate for having something better, and this is a really biiiiiiig subject with a lot of issues, wrongs, misunderstanding… you don’t know how bad is going in Venezuela, not even me, but I can imagine it cuz I know how bad some people have it in Mexico, and they don’t know how them illegally getting into the US is going to affect the US, I try to get all points so I don’t think this is correct, this kind of events shouldn’t be happening, but I also understand, just to put it in perspective, I’ve talked with some people from Venezuela and they’ve told me some crazy stuff, quick example. McDonalds something most American people know …for one person only it can be around 15 - 20 bucks, in Venezuela, and I think minimum wage rn is around 6.15 bucks and if it’s good it can be around 20 - 30 A MONTH, now apply this formula to EVERYTHING, housing, bills, expenses and I think things in Venezuela for a little bit better not that long ago,so it was worst than what I just told you, imagine you finish college you have somehow of a decent life and for things you don’t understand and no one advise you of, next week your job, money is not even half of the value it had last week, imagine if it was you and your family, your kids…I don’t have kids but I know my mom would’ve done anything for trying and give me not even a luxurious life, but a kinda decent life, and I know most of people would’ve done the same, and not only for your kids, also your mom, dad, sisters, brothers and even YOURSELF…again, I’m not saying this is correct or it’s not I’m just saying at the end our surrounding make us do whatever we are doing….I get you not being okay with this, but try to be comprensible and not go straight into hate for this people. \n\nUnfortunately I wouldn’t imagine anything to solve this problem and I hope something better comes for the entire world right now …but I just doubt it…

I'm all for helping people but they keep doing that and breaking shit... I bet they won't try anymore if boarder patrol opens fire just saying

When she say Black people, NOW, they don't mean BLACK AMERICANS!!! They talking about those Africans and people from the islands!! I hate when these people use BLACK PEOPLE when they use to get offended when we called them black but NOW they are black!! They don't use the term black where they are from and this woman is not a BLACK AMERICAN!!! Watch the hijack!! Now they trying to join in with us ,now that they know how real racism is but its too late NOW!!! We don't care what happens to you and I'm glad you are getting the racism!! Maybe NOW you will know that you are no better than us BLACK AMERICANS!! YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!! Deal with it and stop complaining???✊?✊?????

What I can say is her overarching disposition is a turn off to me and I’m black. If she showed up acting this way at work and none of us were there so we don’t know but if she did, I’m black as hell and I wouldn’t want to deal with her either just being honest.

Wow what a way to protect our borders. I’m NOT saying to do this but in some countries you get shot for doing this. This is unacceptable to just let people run into our country ????

At first I was like, let some people in! After seeing the border situation... I'm like close the border! I'm nowhere next conservative or fake republican, or fear mongering, but people should apply and not just show up! No program is going to help this. As type this and you realize what I'm saying, NO Caucasians had to deal with this when they invaded this continent, and no black person came here by their free will but are told to go back to where they came from!

Hang on CNN! ....Call me crazy... but ....I'm pretty sure you....when Trump was in power you.... weren't you saying...I mean.... surly you.... never mind.

I’m sorry. Many people have to wait years and years. You people want to cut in line. I say hell NO!!!

We will love to help them but at this time we have people of our own Americans whom sleep's in the streets like I'm sorry to say this but they can't enter our country by force now we're nice but not when people act stupid because the way they act it makes us feels like they are taking over our country and that's something we will never allow it to happen not on our watch at this moment we're going through hardship we needs to help ourselves our people it may sound selfish to say that but if they were in our shoe and we were doing what they are doing they would've shot us out of their board our own people sleeps in the middle of high heat in the streets

Uhhh can anyone say ‘invasion’? Where the living heck is the military?? Annnd give it a few months and we’ll start seeing half of them up here in Canada accessing all of our social programs ( ie: say good bye to healthcare for the rest of us who have paid into it our whole lives and may need it someday ) and probably being housed for free. No problem just bankrupt all the current citizens so we can hand our country over to them. ?‍♀️No problem. I’m so glad I was responsible with my money my whole life just to have it all taken away by illegal migrants.

Can't say I'm shocked, I've been all over the world and I haven't been any where yet where there wasn't some ignorant local who had a chip on their shoulder against black people, and this includes non white countries.

Man you could discard so many people by this video with false information travel And see it for yourself I’m not saying there’s no racism in Canada I’m not saying there’s no racism anywhere in this world it’s everywhere that Canada is amazing country it really is

When you say that Canada is more liberal than America, for who, though? They are not more liberal for blacks they are more liberal for the white race, period. Blacks are looked down on in almost every nation of the world. It is so wrong and so sad! It's a shame that what has gone on 400 years ago during slavery and the civil rights era has come back full circle. Hatred against us won't stop. And i'm sad for this generation of young black people who have to deal with it head-on and for the older generation who has to re-live this ugly monster all over again. Lord, please help us!?

Instead of the Biden administration sending endless billions of dollars to other countries to feed their dirty business deals, maybe we could send that money to other countries as TRUE foreign aid to help them build up their own water supply, food, medical and housing. We have our own American citizens homeless and starving here and they should get help BEFORE ILLEGALS. Especially our Veterans who are ignored and treated like shit. This is all out of the pockets of taxpayers who can't get a break and now millions of illegals are pushing their way into the United States and demanding what they aren't entitled to. Cartels, human trafficking, dope, people from all over the world who are in a lot of cases, from countries with really no laws. Who are they? What sort of background do they have? What are their intentions? I'm not saying that they are all bad people, but we don't know anything about them. No vetting and of course, they will be granted amnesty and will vote. Not that our elections matter anyway. They aren't going to abide by our laws, obviously. Then what diseases are these people bringing here? Then guess what? The WHO gets to decide what is a public health emergency and throw down more restrictions and demands for more vAxXinEs. This is an invasion. They aren't here legally regardless of EOs. Any law that goes against our Constitution is null and void.

I'm FBA and I grew up in Toronto from the 60's until today and I can testify to what this sister is saying! In addition, over the years there are very few black Canadians from the Underground Railroad or decendants of slavery in Canada still in Ontario area and more black immigrants from the Caribbean and African Diaspora that walk off the boat with disdain for FBA! Most of these black immigrants that I grew up with think they are better than FBA and play right into white supremacy with bigotry, discrimination and disrespect. So, I have reestablished my roots in America, but I draw my pension, from 30 years of social service work and my free healthcare in Canada! White Supremacy is everywhere and so are the enemies of FBA even when they look like us! Dont ever forget it! B1 ?

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! ?️???

I think I’m speaking for every American when I say I’m tired of this every country has its own issues but it’s not our job too take you in because of that Americans come first!!!!!!!!!

If you don't say that we should bring everyone of those people in here and put them in a hotel and pay for thier food and shelter your a freaking racist. I swear I mean take the shirt off your back america I mean off the backs of the homeless vets. I mean what the hell did they ever do for this country. I mean these people are willing to jump through barbed wire to get free well everything what did anyone here do to deserve anything here. ? I mean they are going to pay so many taxes I'm sure it will probably balance the budget and America won't default and continue to fall into a recession. I mean what we need is hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of undocumented people here eating our taxpayers dollars. Cmon isn't that the American way. Work hard all your life to give it away to some illegal who came here. Nothing makes me more proud than watching the govt take all my shit and give it to people who are really worthy of it. Who come from countries where thier govt makes it almost impossible to live so I would happily give all my material possession away to help like 9 or 10 Mexicans. Granted my house burnt down last week but the shirt on my back it's all yours I don't even need it in most states and local convience stores below the state of Virginia. What we need in this country is voters too. I mean all the people who died of covid who's going to fill the voter polls if the democrats don't give these refugees a free life. I'm certainly not going to sit around and let the govt tell us that we need a wall to stop anyone from going anywhere. I mean walls. They are just going to hop and a boat and come right over. Granted you may have to go through customs but that's what I'm saying you need to be able to go and do what ever you want in any country at anytime. Who's to tell me where I can and can't roam on planet earth and what govt agencies will or will not provide me with care for my unborn child. We need a revolution and it start with walls. I'm going to start with my bedroom wall. And work my way up the ladder. I say no to all walls. Even the ones in swimming pools. I say if your a red blooded patriotic American you need to start planning a trip to the border to tear down that exist racist wall that is keeping those south Americans, Chinese, Russian, and Romanian refugees from coming here with ease. The cartel may not be happy with this but we need to make sure that every person from any country no matter what the situation can freely cross any border at any time. It only makes sense.

I'm just saying, they wouldn't storm that bridge if there was some Bradley IFV's at the end of it.

I understand their situations but come here legally because we suffer from them being immigrants here being uninsured not paying taxes and all kinds of other stuff and if they can’t respect that and want to riot on the borders then use whatever force to make them understand because our borders been getting punked and I’m Hispanic saying all this

I'm sorry but I say NO DONT LET THEM COME IN

Good advise, be willing to start at the bottom work hard show you capable and you will move up. As a born and raised Canadian, that lived in Europe for 3 years we do have some things good here. Health care, unfortunately has really be mismanaged over the last 10 to 15 years I would say. Great vids, keep up the good work. I ll bring ya'll a real poutine for MTL next time i m in Ontario ;)

I'm not happy to say this\nBut Trump was right about the Caravans.

As a Chilean I’m sorry but a bunch of Venezuelan and Colombian , I could say 8 of 10 are criminal… I’m sorry but in Chile they made increase crimes like murder, drug dealing , kidnapping and more. So I hope USA don’t let them in…

Yeah I like how they get this shit going every so many months and or every couple of years for sure you know there's always this kind of threat that here's this mass group this time going to storm the border blah blah blah blah blah...\n\nAnd it's always after a very bad week of financial fuck ups oh and bank failures it's a distraction folks those people were going to come over here whether or not it's all over your news and your favorite politicians are in their mouth about it yeah it fucking sucks I'm not saying completely tune it out but I'm saying ignore this fucking shit and focus more so on the bank problems and the other financial economic issues that we have because that's what they're trying to cover up and they're using this fucking shit is a distraction!!

Love how she says..”why are we seeing this right now” ? I can tell ya… and I’m no scholar. Who’s in charge ?

Man all I can say living here can be hard like there no affordable housing like I wanna move from the place I'm in but I can't afford the absorbit high rent prices like man it ant worth it I only make 15.50 that ant enough to live

I'm just going to say that Canada looks very clean, Kudos to them.

Something Big Has To Be Taking Place There, For This Amount Of People Swarming Like That! The Only Time I’ve Seen Something Like That , Was In A Zombie Apocalypse Movie Or The Movie ,”I AmLegend”! All I’m Saying Is Something Is Happening Down There, That The Media And The Powers That Be Allegedly, Doesn’t Want Us Who Are Watching To Know What Exactly Is Happening…

America wake up?it's time to send back many people including me maybe...I'm just saying asap warning

Did y’all seriously just ask “why are we seeing this right now?” Really y’all are going to ask that as if this hasn’t been going on the entire time Biden has been in office. What a joke. This has been going on the whole time y’all just ignored it and wanted to act like there isn’t a major unprecedented border crisis going on right now and pretend we don’t have millions pouring into our country from all over the world and we don’t even know who’s coming over but we know cartel and terrorists are definitely taking advantage of this we’ve caught many think about all the ones we didn’t catch. I’m actually shocked to see that y’all are reporting anything about the border crisis. Now if we could just get y’all to actually report just how bad it really is it’s so much worse than what you see in this video. The only time y’all showed footage from towns near the border was when the Biden administration had them clear the whole area of migrants and cleaned the streets so y’all could tell Americans that the crisis republicans say is happening at the border isn’t at all like what they are saying it is which is such a joke. My family has a ranch near the border and it’s been in my family since before Texas was Texas and what is happening today on our border is something we’ve never in all of history seen before and it’s never been more dangerous than it is now.

I’m not a TRUMP SUPPORTER BUT I WILL SAY HE KEPT THEM BORDERS CLOSED N DEPORTED MFS

Venezuelans had a good country at one point and when other countries in South America wanted to go to their country looking for a better life they spit on everybody’s face thinking they where the best out there, and I’m not saying they deserved but it is very ironic that after not helping now they need help life takes many turns never look down on anyone because one day it could be you?

If the United States actually jumped in for the people of Mexico, their hearts may be swayed and they won't be allies with Russia. You can't say you have conflict with one country and their friends be the neighbor. I just had a vision of the whole US wiped out by Russia, minus CA who didn't want to fight in WW3. I don't agree with California on that call, as I would protect my nation with my life. But that doesn't mean I would protect every individual with my life. I been getting some harsh treatment and been getting called a terrorist. Well where is my act of terror. Where is my money? Can't get it because of this. It's horrible, and I'm the second coming of Christ.

But Myorkas says all is well at the southern border. Meanwhile our border czar is asleep. I think there is a nefarious agreement between Biden and China. I’m still trying to figure out what the trip to China by Jie and Hunter on Air Force 2 when Joe was VP????

Then they come here & are so nasty push race I'm so tired of the nasty attitudes MS13 killings this is really bad for america I'm sure we can tell with the robberies in Walmart army men running threw to catch them they literally think everything is free attacking America they don't even put it on the news the effects America's happening we need Guns cause these people are disrespectful and say this is there land and we took it

Everyone saying get them Out of the u.s blah blah, I’m sure the Indians felt the same way.

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

These prejudices come from how the media portrays these groups of people…then the media turns around and reports on racism like they’re blameless in the whole ordeal. CBC is literally creating the problem that they’re reporting on. It’s not CBC alone but you understand what I’m saying.

It's embarrassing that America gives immigrants free health care insurance\nEct, but can't even put its own people that need help first it's embarrassing we've become a county of acceptance instead of doing things that need to be done or saying things that need to be said I'm moving to Amsterdam within the next year already started the papers and process ❤?

Sorry to say but originally this is a free world that's how god made it. Laws create borders . Without law unfortunately the world would be a zoo it's a hard pill to swallow especially when u are Latino an u see this. I don't understand why Venezuela an south America is so poor now . They need better laws more resources new order every country should learn from the us . ? White Americans will never no how it's feels to a migrant a minority so I really don't appreciate the soft talk these topics should be up to the political system and yes the border should be well protected and respected. Our country is the strongest military I'm the world right? We need to show it.

Why is cnn reporting this, they say the border is ok and there's nothing like this happening???\ngo figure we knew you were lying about it and you called us names,huh, now you know what is really happening,\nI'm in Scotland ??????? and even i know this stuff is going on\nto all of the American patriots keep up with the good fight,fjb ?????????

Friendly reminder that CNN was bought up by a right wing billionaire. They are subtle about it but they will make sure to push right wing narratives like this now - they'll show clips like this which push people into right wing narratives(like saying we need much stronger border control) without any context, exactly as this clip does.\n\n\nThat's not to say immigration isn't, perhaps, a problem - I'm not fully educated on the subject but i will tell you they do a huge number of the jobs Americans essentially refuse to do, like picking fruit for 11 hours a day in the heat and cold. Furthermore, large business owners profit immensely off these people, and a majority of large business owners are Republicans - sure they'll go along with the party line that immigration bad, but they hire these people by the truckload and pay them shit wages, actively and purposely depreciating the wages of American citizens while simultaneously blaming it on nebulous Democrat immigration policies.

I’m just gonna say it…. That police officer at 0:14 has an absolute dump truck… I said it

I’m sorry people will hate my comment. Put up the barrier. Say if caught last sign may get shot. Just like Area 51. And follow through. A few shots they will stop and go back. We got to protect our people here first. Best wishes go all. If you want to come here do it properly

Cops treat citizens like the scum of the earth. I can’t even imagine how they treat illegal immigrants trying to storm across the border.\n\nI’m not saying we should just open the borders the everyone, but my heart goes out to them. I can’t imagine the disrespect and dehumanization they get from border patrol. Acting like they’re rabid animals trying to get out of a cage.

Americans first, and I’m also talking to the ones who say they’re American but then go around always talking in a native language, shits annoying.
