This isn’t the legal way to go. They figure Mexicans can band together and take on the borders. It’s so true, we can’t help the world. But it annoys me that people think they can come here , apply for social assistance on our money. You should see how badly want to come out to Canada. Where everything is free! No it’s not. Free for you but not the taxpayer. We’re feeding your families. While you have 6 kids on purpose to get a higher bonus. It’s sad.

My parents came illegally but became citizens thru the amnesty from Bill Epstein i mean Clinton, i was born here in California, even though i love my Mexican heritage i still think this is wrong, we need more border control but we also need to be able to make it easier for the good people to come here legally. Donald trump was not racist he was speaking the truth alot of these immigrants are bringing drugs over alot of them are bad people who will cause alot of problems over here for us thats why we need a screening process but a better one than we have now because the one we have now is very expensive and takes way too long, we could use the extra labor from people who want to come and actually work. There’s also more Chinese immigrants than mexican so we need to get a hold of that too , but these Central Americans trying to come in the country alot of them are gang members and most of them are poor and have no resources so when they get here they will become gang members and cause problems because they have no structure and thats all they know. They really need to do something about this. This is disgusting, this is not the right way trying to barge your way into our country is not the way to go

No way, cnn reporting a bad side to this stuff. Someone’s gonna get in trouble over at cnn for sure

You that wanted Biden you got him and hundred of thousands more you stupid idiots! Most liberals don't live in bad neighbor hoods now with this flood there coming to a hood near you bed wetting liberals and then you get too be part of this beautiful rainbow you love so much and the crime!!!!

what's also bad is so many Americans can't even get housing cause we ain't being paid enough to get housing or apartment, we can't even feed ourselves and neither can our govt. We have so much violence too,, gun violence as well.. I don't understand how the false idea of them getting help here keeps spreading. The USA can't even help their own ppl

This is how bad it is but sad when criminal gets a pass to destroy lives

The word is out around the world, if you can get to Mexico you can get in the united states. It's our current Biden/Harris administration fault. Its also a security issue. Let's not pretend that there's no more terrorist cells out there that still hate America. I live in southern Arizona. In the past two yrs they've apprehended near the border over 100 middle eastern men who are on u.s. terrorist watch lists and no fly lists. Hmmmm i wonder why they want to get here so bad? Also, cartels are loving this open border as well.. flooding our communities with drugs. Good job Biden/Harris administration.. I'd be embarrassed to admit voting for them in 2020!!

I feel bad for the immigrants who are able to get into America. They have no idea that America is about to be judged by God with plagues, bank failure, civil war and martial law, food and water shortages, tyrannical government, mushroom clouds and invasion, earthquakes that cause California to go into the sea. Tsunami waves that will submerge west and east coast. Watch, they will leave and go back to their country once these things take place and Americans will start fleeing to Mexico instead.

I feel bad for em but if we let these liberals get their way, they made the trip for nothing!

This is a straight up invasion. If they get hit with tear gas and stuff to prevent this u.s. is bad

If America was so bad people wouldn't be dying to get in!!

I feel bad but that’s too many. They are the reason why salaries are low cuz employers can get away with paying them low. I can’t even find another job cuz they are all low balling and indeed reviews say that the company I am applying to is full of illegals who don’t get raises.

I feel bad, but my mama and uncle in the Philippines have been waiting for almost 30 years to come here trying to do it the legal ways. They're finally getting processed to come here and I hope everything goes well. I miss my mama so much and I can only imagine how much she misses me. I was 10, now in the late 20s ?

Yall Americans thought Mexican/central american immigrants were bad? Get prepared for Venezuelans, every country in South america is tired of Venezuelan immigrants because they can be entitled, racist, and delinquent.......

Lmao people try so hard to get into the USA illegally… and now people want to get out. That’s how you know things are getting bad here ?

They need to get rid of all immigrants and not allow them to come to the states it’s bad enough that they can’t find Americans housing how on earth can they house illegal immigrants ??‍♂️ us citizens come first immigrants go back where you came from

What's funny is they're all running here to get away from bad, overbearing govt, too many trivial laws w/ terrible judiciary their countries teetering on the edge of civil war... And they're running here... Am I the only one that sees the humor in this?????

During the 1930's media in various countries made immigrants and asylum seekers out to be this horrible thing and demonised them. This came after a huge recession in 1923, the Wall Street crash, and the subsequent dramatic rise of far right parties in various countries, specifically Italy, then Germany and Spain. \nFast-forward to modern times. 2008 saw another global recession. Once again politics swung massively to the right with countries like Italy (once again), Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden, voting in right wing governments, France ending in a run off that narrowly defeated the far right, Belgium and Spain looking likely to be heading into heavily right wing governments at the next elections, whilst the US and UK governments both saw their politics swinging far further in that direction, especially the UK right now whilst led by an unelected leader who is demonising people in ways that would make Trump look soft. One of themajor rallying calls: immigration. The way media report on this becomes increasingly demeaning and hateful. During the 1930's much of the European media and even as far as the UK was ramping up the scorn against the ever increasing influx of Jewish immigrants coming from Germany. Even into 1944 there was a vast amount of demonisation of them seeking asylum, despite the knowledge by this point that there were horrific conditions in camps where extermination was becoming ever more apparent. The Nazi German government in 1936 passed laws that enabled them to revoke citizenship and stripped away laws on human rights. It would be great to say that these poor souls who were being demonised in their own country were accepted into nations who could see what was going on and who wanted to help, but that just wasn't the way it went. Media played out as it is now, leading to rejection and a greater number of deaths as a result of this. The way the UK government is currently working, it actually sounds like the maxi government of the mid 30's during the time of the Nürnberg laws. \n \nThe world feels far smaller now with double the amount of people and with things like social media playing a huge role in the lives of many. The ease of access to people around the world has made issues seem to stretch to far more countries now, whereas back then it was a time of empires. I get that there will be many here who support Trump, many who support Biden, there will be Brit's who support Sunak and the rather vicious words of Suella Braverman, whilst others will be more on the side of Starmer (I'm well aware of all the other parties but they don't stand to gain as much). There will be French people backing Macron, whilst others back Le Pen. We could go through each country all the way to the battle between Fujimori and Castillo in Perú, and the stories are much the same, but how will history judge us when people look back to this time? Will it be another occasion where we demonised those trying to escape the horror of the place they had the bad luck to be born in whilst we were luckier? \n\nI know there is hardship everywhere. I'm struggling more than most and I know I can't keep living this way. However, I don't want to be a part of history people look back at and say ‘if only they did something to help prevent this.’. I would rather be a part of history people look back upon and say; ‘that was a boring time period where nothing important happened’. It's already too late for that. Instead I try to remember that, though I was born into a family who never really wanted me, I was lucky enough to be born into a country that could support me during the hardest times. When you look at immigrants, remember that every one of us has immigrants in our family tree somewhere.

My heart to those border workers and people trying to find a home. That's gotta be just gut wrenching and heart breaking.\nEveryone always says horrible things about this but they always ignore the fact that no one leaves a good place, no one goes away from somewhere they're being treated well and situations are ideal. \nThings have to get pretty bad for you to be carrying a small child on your shoulders through a sea of people to a border after crossing who knows how much land.\nPeople need to remember to have a heart.

You know that is consider as a frontal invasive it is in consideration as a terrorist act and should have been handled with force I do feel bad for the people just they should go home clean up there streets together and get rid of there gang problems and there own life frustration don't come here bringing your trash don't come here bringing your rapist murders and thieves we have enough of that going on and of our government got off it's lazy greedy ass and taken care of the problem instead of making money off it we all be in a better position.

Imagine how bad things have to get that you cry because you can't get into America ?

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.

I don’t get it.. I was just in Cancun the other day. Seems like such a nice place.. why do they all want to leave so bad?

it’s kinda interesting that their environment is more fertile and filled with natural food. \n\nIn the US we are swelling so badly with overpopulation, we are about to economically collapse. We are almost out of water supply. We are losing thousands and thousands of jobs. The government is corrupt. \n\nthey’re crying to get in here. They’re nuts. They will just be made into cheap labor to exploit. smh

Rush your own bad guys and take back your own country,, no more free hand outs ,, you don't pay in you don't get out

Yknow this puzzles me, so many of these countries talk so much shit about The U.S but yet here's tons of mfs trying to get in :/ like if we are so bad why the fuck you trying to come in?? Stay the fuck out of our home U.S citizens are already having housing problems due to cost of living/inflation we don't need a bunch of immigrants begging for jobs or housing idc what problems their having we as the untied states we have our own problems to take care of.

America… for the love of God please start protecting OUR OWN borders instead of worrying so much about other country’s borders around the world!! The left is so worried about being woke instead of taking care of the Americans who pay for all of it. I’ve busted my A$& all my life to work hard and am tired of spending billions of dollars on foreigners who just abuse our systems and get free money, phones, places to live, medical care, food, etc. and act like we owe them. It’s bad enough we have enough actual citizens who abuse the system because they are too lazy to work and care for themselves. I’ve always been one to care for others but this crap has gotten out of control and I’m done. It also makes the US look like a bunch of weak SUCKERS!!!

This is communist propaganda. If you want to understand this video, you first need to realize that all video exists within a given context.\n\nThis video shows people who are “in a panic.” It doesn’t show people who calmly travelled thousands of miles at their own expense, to get to the U.S. border.\n\nAre you going to stop people who are in a panic? You must be a really mean white person. All white people are bad.\n\nThe video shows a mixture of Hispanics and Africans. In fact, the Africans had undertaken a long and very expensive route. First, they had to pay to go from Africa, to South America; and then they had to pay again to get from South America to the U.S. border. Professional Travel Agencies arranged all of this.\n\nSo these people are in no way “refugees”. But now, Washington D.C. claims that “refugees” and “migrants”and “dreamers” are all the same group. Therefore, American taxpayers must provide transportation, health care, food, housing, and employment to anyone who enters the United States for any reason. \n\nThat’s an invasion. \n\nDo you think it’s bad right now? Cuba, Mexico, and Haiti all plan to send fifty million more people to the U.S. within the next ten years. \n\nAfter the collapse, Asia will send another fifty million. So will India. The U.S. Army planned all of this. It’s an invasion from within.

I get it y’all want to come to the USA but dam right now y’all just making us look bad and proving peoples point

America is so bad, yet everyone is trying to get it?

let's be honest these people are coming here for a better life not to commit crimes. why would you come from a lawless place to a country with a bunch of laws that are enforced? Did you see the kids? Are they bad guys? I get not wanting to spend money on people when we could spend that on bailing out millionaires who lose their money but seriously just a little empathy.

You think this is bad ? We get this DAILY in England at Dover...

So now all our taxpayer money will be going to people who came illegally? It's already bad enough Trudeau gives all our money to other countries and everyone he brought over from Siria and Ukraine but our own citizens get nothing and pay taxes to feed and home these people. Yes it may be bad in their countries but why do we need to pay for them and suffer???

My sympathy with Venezuelans, they are victims of socialist policies of Nicolas Maduro. But America is not a right place to seek refuge because America is getting screwed up very badly itself. They better board a ship and go to somewhere in Europe. Europeans welcomed the Ukrainian refugees, so there is hope for Venezuelans in Europe but not in America.

This is absolutely ridiculous that they believe they can strong arm or cry there way into the united states! We as Americans could never pull this off anywhere!! What gives them the right to do this!! Everyone talks about the Americans so bad but can’t wait to get here!! Please don’t allow our country to get overrun by foreigners

I am hispanic. I will tell you if you think that the many type of hispanics have had all sorts of issues, much of it not so good. Here comes a new breed get ready for extremes good and bad.

I'm pretty sure Mexican are not loving The invasion so now they know why Trump was the way he was..because now the Mexicans are trying to do what Trump was trying to do in the first place!! first Mexico gets invaded by Honduras they didn't like that..and now they get invaded by Venezuelans I'm pretty sure they don't like that either!! Mexico already have his own problems all they needed was more people to add to the problem they got.. not only that but some of these people will try to set camp in Mexico and live there like Hundura did..Mexican people barely got sources for themselves i feel bad for all of this.. but now Mexico's really going to feel the pain they don't need more people in their country that's is not going to provide for them!! ?

You all have to be processed you can't just enter those born here have to have documentation so does everyone else it's that simple the gov has to have prints photos paper work. So we know who you are and can prevent cartel members getting in our country. This country would collapse from so many just sneaking in think of the crime rate as well as the strain you all will put on our economy because you all know they are gonna want food stamps, housing aid the works. What does that leave our own citizens who have long ties of both serving our military, building our communities what's that leave our ppl for aid we alAmericans. Plenty Mexican americans. So it's not like their not included in definition of an American. Even they understand illegally immigration will destroy the vary freedoms, and quality of life everyone wants to come to America so bad for.

you know it's getting bad when CNN is calling for boarder security

coming here to get a bunch of free benefits then they wanna talk sht about how bad America is its only getting bad cuz biden doesn't care or do anything

You knows its getting really bad when liberal CNN is covering this. Biden needs to taking some energy pills and stop this madness!

Wait until they get to Canada and realize they were better off in the States. High taxes, bad Healthcare, little to no housing unless you like paying $3100 for a 2 bedroom, and endure -20 weather for 6 of the year months, come aboard the magic carpet ride.????

I feel bad for Canada, US has been getting too many for a while too

Straight bs while we suffer get taxed left and right on everything and just so people from another country can come break the law and not get punished instead they are getting free housing and benefits coming from our American tax money TRUMP 2024 and by the way I don't feel bad for them cause majority of the one I work with that are illegal are racist toward any American for no reason, yet their in our country for a better life.

It's getting so bad Americans are helping illegal activities

Don't speak english or French, probably have no skills needed and thinks will have a better life? Wow, they are in for a rude awakening. Sky high rent, don't make much money, high taxes, terrible health care with long waits, bad weather, shrinking job markets. But hey, get a free coat and gloves?

Let me get this straight: NY is so bad, that people would volountarily go to Canada instead?

This is happening bad people they just don't have no life in the u.s.a. because the problem is that has so many of Americans like white people on Nancy like a United that a very different American different people different voltage different language getting clean to American citizen this is why the people are living in the US because I have no future if there's no future there's no hope exists no hope there's nothing. Well to America anyway because everything that it is control in for white Americans like they're his car they know how to do it but they don't have no respect for the different lives matter for further people that are are not displaying they are for the speaking of a different language or even translation or even that bringing somebody that it on their own work and it translated is how your cold expect but they don't have like that no of respect especially if they don't have no responsibilities are speaking that a what meant to say did different skin color different language different voices including life matters

This country is all fucked up anyway the politicians have completely knackered it ve've got just about every nationality in the world here it's like a bomb primed and ready to go off if you we're a stranger getting of a plane you wouldn't know what country you were in but I will guarantee you that you'll be on the next plane out thank god my family has got out of this shit hole before things really get bad to pay back the money the government is borrowing is going to cripple the private sector we'll need to be taxed to death to fix this government mess

Damn America is proving to be so bad for the illegals they decided to illegally cross another border to get away...???
