This shouldn't be necessary, I agree people should fight to make their own country better, and people do need to think about the socioeconomic reality of their own country when hosting immigrants as well.\n\nBut at the same time, it's kind of sad to see so many people not just worrying about it but literally hating people as if they were all dangerous criminals who come to kill you and steal your job, and not just loving fathers and mothers doing the same that a lot of your parents and grandparents did hundreds of years ago. Looking for a better future. But people love fighting and hating for flags and borders.\n\nLet's not forget that the whole modern America (the continent) was funded by immigrants and colonizers. And most people complaining are not exactly native Americans.

Thanks for the info. I just don't think it's safe for any Americans to leave this country at all. The world. In my opinion. Hates America. Good luck traveling.

I am a for immigrants but this need to be fixed. How to fix it, is charge American a $10,000 fine if you hire a illegal. Then make these people apply from home where we have time to check there background and then given a date to come. A wall does not work so we need drones and more people on the boarder. Most of these people do not and we only need so many fruit pickers. Also I think new immigrants should be required to take a class to learn the ways of the country so they do not accidentally cause conflicts and problems.

Close the border it took us forever to find a home last year and my husband and I was born here you can have so much gonna have to have a war to defend Americans hate to think it but something gotta give

Is Biden and Harris a couple of idiots to think the American people dont know there is a terrible border crisis and invasion of America. Remember they get everything free and your paying for it.

Doesent anyone understand that these people do take American money and flush it out of the country. When they are done what do you think will happen?

Sad part is they all believe there is “the American Dream” an reality is there isn’t. Once entered illegally where do they think they will go to some kingdom where they are given everything they need to survive? They will come be homeless and in the system. As it Is, us that are here working and born here can hardly get by and less you have lots of money and are rich there is no dream.

Sad reality is these people are better dressed and look more healthy than 90% of Us citizens. These are definitely not all people that are in fear for their lives. They clearly have had food and water and some kind of life. What about our citizens in violent cities? Especially the ones who have no food, shelter, family, nothing to keep them away from violent people... Where can an American go for asylum? Where can we find refuge from our corrupt politicians? From the mentally illand violent? Its even worse thinking that these people will get treated better than those who have fought for this country. Risking life and limb to protect freedom. I think freedom in America was always an illusion. We were always being manipulated and controlled. Its just before it was less in our face. They don't care to hide what they are doing anymore. They have been successful in making people zombies and slaves. They think nothing can stop them now. They see the finish line and they are running harder at it. Lest everyone wakes up and holds them accountable.

This crap pisses me off. I’m all for legal immigration from other countries that have corrupt governments. BUT NOT THIS! Just who in the hell do these people think they are? Every single person who tried to shove their way into our country should be PERMANENTLY BANNED from ever being allowed to enter our country. No other country on Earth would tolerate such poor behavior. They just proved that they’re NOT worthy enough to be here as well. I expect the people who desire to become part of the American dream to behave in such a manner. If they want to act like wild animals and thugs, they need to end this garbage and go right back from where they came. They’re NOT our problem. And the conditions they left behind weren’t of our making. They created that mess, so they can go back and live in it. But don’t go bringing that crap here into our country. If you want to live here in the United States, then you need to respect our ways while leaving yours behind, just like every other country on Earth expects of the people that immigrate into their countries. I’m very liberal on immigration policies. But not on this mess. That’s when I put my Conservative hat on and send the animals and thugs back from whist they came…PERMANENTLY. \n\nREMEMBER…When you go and enter another country, you’re entering as a Guest to that country. You need to act civilized. If you can’t, they’re well within their rights to throw your ass back out…by any means that they desire to employ. Because when you enter another’s country, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS OTHER THAN THOSE THAT THAT COUNTRY WISHES TO EXTEND TO YOU.

Wow they have no clue that Americans are struggling to make ends meet rent going up groceries high and state programs are not what they use to be smdh think where all these ppl would go what they going do for housing food and jobs smdh

America has fought HARD for centuries to achieve freedom. We’ve shed infinite amounts of blood for the rights we have. Freedom isn’t free. It takes centuries to get to that. People think it sucks to have to spend ten years becoming a legal citizen here, well count yourself lucky that you didn’t have to shed any blood, lose any family members, fight against an oppressive enemy for your rights, or lose your house in a battle for a free country. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look up American history. Count how many battles were fought; how many wars; how many people died; how many Americans became POW’s on our own land during the Civil War. Look how hard it’s been. Look how hard it is now. We never stop fighting for what we want. Freedom takes work. America isn’t some island paradise. It never has been. We all live on the same earth. We all experience hardship. And there’s no amount of money, illegal border crossing, or anything else that can keep us from that harsh reality. In life we’re going to suffer. That’s just how it is. Stop thinking that illegally crossing a border is somehow going to solve all problems. It won’t. The grass isn’t greener on the other side just because. Bloodshed makes that grass green: Sacrifice. Hard, laborious work; and centuries of time.

You all think that bad and harmful at the border. Wait till the American Citizens are confronted at shops stations and property/ homes. Once they know that all Biden promissed them they can't and want get the he lied. GOD HELP all the American Citizens, including those illegals who believed all the lies of Joe Biden and his administration. All illegals should turn around and go back where they came from. It ridiculous that they could even dream that anyone country can have or deal with such an influx and to be able to care for such vast chaotic people. ✌️

The lies that are being told to these people to make them put themselves at risk to come here is disgusting. Do you all honestly think the U.S. can handle this influx? Many, many of these people have no home to go to, no money, no assets, no idea where they are going. The democrats are using them as pawns in their political agendas. They throw them a couple of bones to make them decide to make the trip and then don't give a crap about them after. And to take the money that us Americans work hard for and pay for this is despicable. We paid 40k in taxes and special programs last year and we don't get a single word in as to where it gets spent. Our social security will be eaten up by the time we are old enough to collect it and we will probably never use disability due to a moral standard. I'd much rather keep all of our $ and then give it to whom I feel deserves it. Many of these people are not bad people, but they will use our handouts and most will not try or have the ability to get off of them. This administration is the most inhumane, America hating administration I have ever witnessed or heard of here in the U.S.

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.

That’s no news.A lot a people of color think Canada is all that! I’m American and I rather deal with it in my homeland. No desire to visit or live around the snowbirds elsewhere.

It will not be a bad idea if they serve in the army and U.S. can give them like asylum or something like that. Like imagine putting those people before the actual young Americans first line in war. I think that is a pretty justified idea if you ask me. (If you want to be here do something for us) what you think?

Guys African American buy land in Africa and build hospitals here whenever you are sick just take a flight ✈️ to hospital you built in Africa to get proper healthcare. Bring well qualified doctors that you can still pay with dollars if you think the currency is a problem.

I think you should blame the afro american community and the reputation they build, like BLM.

It's interesting as a concerned white guy to see the perspective of African North Americans thinking the systems are still so rigged against them and not us when the west is dying head over heel to signal how much they love Africans. Thanks for the whitepills!

Oh dear God, in just about every other country in the world THEIR Police would be MOWING THEM DOWN WITH RAPID FIRE! \nOk Americans YOU OWE THEM EVERYTHING YOU WORKED FOR! Hand them your money… you privileged pos! Yep open those doors cause we owe them OUR HOMES! \n\nTHANK A DEMOCRAT FOR THIS! \n\nYour money? What you worked your whole life for? HAND IT OVER! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU THINK YOU DESERVE TO KEEP WHAT YOU WORKED SAVED ESRNED AND SACRIFICED BLOID SWEAT AND TEARS! \n\nIf this was Ukraine or North Koreans? Yes. \nThese people have better phones than I do! They just now demand A FREE RIDE! \n\nAmerica is fucked

Well where do y'all think American WS came from?

There’s no housing for them and we know this because there hasnt been affordable housing for Americans for a long time. Biden has made the problem 1000 times worse. And how safe will we all be now? Our families our daughters. Don’t think that all these people have good intentions that would be foolish

this is a mess, but let's not blaming Biden because it was the same shit during Donald Trump. It's not fair Americans are barely making it. I don't think they understand that what is going on with the governments in their country and why are they so corrupt is the real question that we need to ask each other.

How bout they goto Russia or china. They need to think outside the box. Russian and Chinese will be happy to have some central American food vendors. They need more diversity. And I bet they can make a good amount of money by selling alot of their cultural goods food, customs etc. They …(china/Russia) don't have anyg Guatemalan/Valenzuelan cen/so amer-peoples So 40,000 to 80,000 between em will be a nice heathy split for those 2 countrys..... We don't need anymore imigration around here no more. They stained the neighborhoods with there trash n bad habits. Enough is enough.. Landmines anyone?

Wow, spokesperson wonders why this is happening -- c'mon you stupid b*tch, think about who's in charge of our country. This is being done intentionally by our current administration. People always think US is the place to be, maybe for immigrants doing it legally. I live in Florida and there are American mothers and fathers raising their kids in tents in the woods here because they can't afford to buy or rent a home, despite both of them working full time. Yet, these anarchists are coming in and getting benefits asap -- homes, food stamps, medical care etc.... Damn shame what our country has turned into. Lastly, it's a shame because there are so many immigrants here trying to do the right thing.

Need more jobs, lesser rent/lower inflation/removal of businesses not following labor laws/proper housing/homeless housing and job directories. I dont think keeping out immigrants will really improve anything, America has always been a melting pot of sorts and was ultimately built by immigrants and still relies on their affordability of labor cost. Americans are racist and afraid that theyll be knocked off the ladder by someone that will probably outwork them, then unable to afford homing, and unable to find a job themselves. They dont want to be in Mexicos shoes, Venezuela specifically, as shown here. US population has been around 54% working; while 76% from Mexico. A wall wasnt going to fix the situation, never was -- it was a bit silly dont you think? There shouldve been more put into expanding border patrol, they obviously handle it better. And claiming aslyum has backfired: theyre over-full, lack funding, and no one can remove them because it has become a neccesarity now.\nI dont think they should be denied a potentially better way of life but this wasnt as much an option as they had hoped it be.

Sad our idiotic president keeps making bad choices. I live 7 mins away from the yarbrough entry and its scary. Gets me mad Americans are struggling bad and our own president isn't helping us but others. For those who voted thinking this is okay its not, they are rude, entitled, and trashing up our city bad. This isnt fair for those who did things right to be here this is pathetic.

They need to pass an amendment that they get no welfare, free housing, or medical insurance. They’re not entitled to enter or receive anything from Americans and they’ll pass 7&8 countries when they’re supposed to go to the first country they come to. People should come in legally not just think they can invade illegally. There’s no way they can vet all these people and this president is endangering Americans. Also we don’t want America looking like a slum.

All these immigrants think they have the same rights as Americans

These people will get treated better than any homeless American and it’s all for votes. Think about that.

a great nation, need a great wall...huge ethnic group people keep coming will make a country collapse... that already happened in Chinese history during 420ad. Americans need to think about it.

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! ?️???

It's sad Americans think these are Mexican born when all of them come from south America.

Doesn’t matter what the foreigners thinks of Sikhs because they don’t know who the Sikhs are, I’m more concerned about what Indians think because it seems the government of India with its hate media are brainwashing the Hindus mindsets, Hindus never had problems with Sikhs having weapons because they know the history of the Sikhs, its the media pumping negativity about Sikhs and Khalistan 24/7 are turning the two communities against eachother, wake up people and stop letting them divide the people only to use you in their political games. Same stuff happened with the congress government in the 80’s all for votes. Anyway in America It’s not about religion or culture it’s about the Ohio state laws and the second amendment in the constitution that protects people from the law to allow people to carry weapons. I understand how much Indian government minions who are reading this comment with only half a brain want to disarm Sikhs ? but that’s not even the point here. \n\nThis cop idiot because Open carry of deadly or not weapons is legal under Ohio State law. Just like open carrying a pistol is legal, open carry of any type of knife is legal as well. The entire knife doesn’t even have to be visible in order for it to be considered “unconcealed.” The school principal already apologized to this young man and the Sikh community about this stupid mistake. So Let’s put a end to your hopes and dreams of disarming Sikhs, the world is automatically changing and becoming more Sikh like mindset everyday, just as they banned most all tobacco products in America including cigarettes in all public places. Gurus told Sikhs long ago to always stay clear of tobacco for health reasons. The world is just now catching up.\n\nDo you know why the second amendment was put in the constitution of the United States? It’s a safeguard against the government if they start abusing your freedoms and rights that Americans can fight against them, every government will always try to take our rights to control us but it’s up to us as citizens to fight back everytime. This was written in the constitution by the founders of the country because they seen what government will do if they’re giving a chance.

Americans are so stupid “I know we destroyed their governments,culture,militarized them for drug trade profits but why do they think they just deserve to come take part of the reward”

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!!!!!!!!!

These people need to have a civil war in their own countries to free themselves from tyrants just like Americans did. Stop thinking that coming to this country will give you a better life. Start thinking, We need to sacrifice for our children and generations after us in our own country. It’s simple and it works. Many people need to sacrifice themselves to better their families. It’s a shame not many are willing to accept it and actually do it.

The worst thing is American people is going to think this is Mexican people when in reality Mexico is suffering from the same issue all this people coming from other countries

​@BriarPatchson Fun fact you should have researched. The largest share of the housing stock in the United States as of 2021 was built between 1975 and 1979. There were 18.5 million homes built during this period, whereas the homes built between 2016 and 2019 were less than six million. Rough estimates 158 million Homes. Are there empty homes, apartments, sky risers,. Yes. You are fixing to find yourself in misery soon enough if this is allowed to continue. The money is not there for most Americans to foot the bill. It's pure insanity to think otherwise. The more you know the better prepared you will be.

I will say this not because hate but you if you american dont be fool thinking in china or prices look your texas state your new mexico state from all that people are coming bad people too look what happens in south america with Venezuela in ecuador chile peru is extortion killing and way worse stuff the some peoples are already in new york They are demanding yelling at cops and gov to get free houses and food and tv yess get informed our army is in other countries but everyone is coming from out back door no sense PAY ATTENTION

This is like an arsonist returning to the scene of the crime CNN you know you are definitely have a big hand in promoting Biden causing Americans think Hunter Biden was disinformation on his laptop most likely changing of the election CNN's guilty they have blood on their for too many reasons to then you guys have the gall to act like anything other than your part of the problem

Let’s all talk about the truth. Once they get here think about all the benefits that American taxpayers have to pay for and they get for free and their own country gives them nothing that’s the real reason.

Americans think they want to live in the US. They are moving to Canada lol

Countries like that think America is so great but they really don't know how bad America is right now We have our own problems everyday gets worse. Yes I hate that their country is no good but us Americans have our own problems right now

I know I'm in the minority on believing this, but I think that if Canada and the US merged, we would absolutely secure North America as the dominant superpower (for at least another century). With Alberta's oil, the productivity of the prairies, combined with American ingenuity, prowess, and capabilities, no other single country could compete with us.

I think us fellow Americans need to stop this ourselves 2nd amendment

America is already on its brink, many don’t realize it but these next 3/4 presidents we have, policies, etc. Along side what people of faith allow to go on, Along side music agendas, other political agendas that coexist, More of a possibility our Cold War with China gets physical by way of Taiwan at any moment, Korea…, Lack of both fundamental and natural Resources (used irresponsibly), Division due to government neglect to correct past decisions/often tends to cover up/erase/rewrite/censor “the victor gets to rewrites history” type shit, American dollar is starting not to mean shit in more places outside the States/territories (since we took it off the gold standard), let’s see there’s people still recovering from the housing market/Wall Street crash, recession, Homelessness in not just vets, youth (children) as well, Lack of Men’s Rights Across the board which is a bigger time Bomb; than what people think, Huge population decline due to modern Feminist Ideology and its affects on boys who were born and grew up in its prime (90s-early 2000s) if you go back through movies tv shows music you’ll see and hear comments, things, innuendos, references to things that foreshadowed what is happening now: to name a few contributors: Beyoncé, Oprah, Vivica Fox, Welfare, CIA, FBI, make up/fashion industry, etc. A new generation of confused, dense, savants that couldn’t tell you a woman from a beef stick… my bad my bad tells you that you can be woman even with a beef stick, Violations of constitutional right regularly by the ?who forget they work for, “The People” the people who pay their bills and put food on their tables. The government first normalizing unnatural sexuality(if you can’t reproduce “be fruitful and multiply”, I.e. man x women) you don’t see it working in nature seahorses somewhat excluded: my meaning of unnatural sexuality; Teaching it in schools some places too authoritarian rights away from parents, schools/music/media/tech raise kids nowadays not parents some places. Trying to normalize pedophilia in government a few bills her in Cali, a few movies on certain platforms, certain inappropriate clothing types for minors from a company made for adult women by a old man, Edw/Bel/Jac series yes 100+ year old going after a 16-17 year old, and an adult male “imprinting” on a baby, he later got in relationship with (not sus yeah mmm okay). Yeah we don’t need anymore problems in this country. Fight your own battles leave us out of it please.

That’s a lot of taxes coming in right there for people that can’t file a return! That’s the truth of it! Let them work! Have u seen the price of strawberries recently! I think Americans are picking them! ?

I think Canada economy is not as flawed as this video propose. Instead I would say that Canada as develop a strange equilibrium by surfing on the American economy. It does not need to take risk : to be entrepreneurial, to pay for research. AKA, Canada is out sourcing the risk out of its economy and I wouldn't be surprise if Canada is always performing relatively better when recessions happen.

So sad how much of US foreign policy have caused so many people to flee their homes. Americans are so ignorant to the actions for the CIA around the world and the repercussions it causes. I think we should open our borders to everyone. When we do, people will start caring and stop our govt and the CIA from doing what they do.
