If BW could see just how Americanized we are we wouldn't keep traveling to these countries and ending up getting murdered there. Maybe Spaniards and Mexicans think that BW are flaunting American wealth so they want a piece of that success. Nothing really wrong with that but there's a process to get in the US. I KNOW Black ppl make being an American look REALLY good but America has its problems. But comparably, many countries are doing very poorly. I HOPE that they work on making their countries safer to address the reasons why they want to leave in the first place.

Every Country thanks to Biden now thinks they can just show up at our border and be welcome right in illegally while the ones that apply legally get tossed aside and Homeless Americans disregarded so that illegals get their housing covered. It’s a disgrace and embarrassment to our Country.

Thank the Democrats for letting this happen. We cannot support the people we have now so how are these people going to get the help they need? I guess these liberal cities can keep taking them in since it's their policies letting it happen. I guess if these cities get tired of footing the bill maybe they will stand up and say something to their leaders and tell them enough is enough. They don't want the wall they don't want to give the ice agents and border patrol the help they need and they keep blaming Americans for their stupid policies but they sure will bring in hundreds of IRS agents to take your money and arrest you if they don't think you're paying what they deem acceptable. I think most Americans are sick of this administration and want it gone. Their giving more rights to illegals and other countries than the people who live here. This administration is going after the rights and freedoms of all Americans and trying to turn the Constitution into some old document that doesn't have any relevance in today's world. They're pushing more and more communistic laws through our government to strip Americans of their rights. People need to wake up and see that this administration doesn't give a damn about you or this country.

I pay 11.5% of my income directly to pensioners as a contract worker making less than 50K in 2023. At total tax rate of 26% all inclusive. I have to live at home, and I can't find a single job that isn't contract work, and I'm a designer who's worked with F500 companies. The best Canadian rate hourly is 30$, my American contracts have paid 135$ an hour. It's such a bad deal to be a Canadian millennial. Canada has two classes. The ruling pensioner elder class which makes up 60% of the country and everyone else that they've impoverished. Canada has poor pay, worsening living standards, extremely high white collar competition, few job prospects and a disintegrating social fabric. But somehow I think this is the story of the entire commonwealth right now. So that makes us no different, and I don't really believe the grass is greener among the G7 either.

Turn every one of them around and send them back to their government so they can take care if them\nThis is unreal and unwanted. Why do these people think they're entitled. That Americans owe them sonething: WE OWE YOU NOTHING!\n\nWHY don't YOU demand from your government what you demand of US???\n\nSEND EVERYONE OF THEM BACK HOME, you DONT push yourselves off on us. This border is CLOSED

People don’t realize that these people are running to America thinking it’s better than home. \n\nAll Americans know how corrupt our own government is, so just imagine how corrupt theirs must be if their willing to take a risk here in the states instead.

One of the things that I don't get is why Canadian businesses hardly made any effort to explore other markets other than the Canadian & US market. Canada is located in the middle between Asia & Europe and they also are located pretty close to Latin American countries. Yet very few Canadian companies are willing to expand beyond the US market. I feel like Canadian companies are too complacent and like the video said risk averse. Having said that, I don't think being risk averse is such a bad thing. At least the local banks can withstand crises better compared to a high risk business environment like the US. There are always pros and cons in every environment to me.

I Don't Understand Why They Think it's So, Great Here Right Now !! It's Certainly NOT The PROMISE LAND !! They All Need To Grow a Pair & Go FIGHT For There Homeland MAN UP !! JUST As, Most Of Our Ancestors Did When We, Fought The British aka, The American Revolution. & Fast Forward For Us, Southerners Fighting Them Damn Yankees.. Hey, Like the Song Says You, Gots To Fight For Your RIGHT To PARTY !! Send them Back Home With Plenty Of Beans , Band-Aides & Bullets & They Will Either Sink Or Swim Your Not Welcome in this Country Unless You, Learn to SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE & FOLLOW OUR COUNTRY'S LAW'S & Come to Our Country the RIGHT WAY , COMPREHEND SENIOR TILL Then, Audios Amigos !!

Wait but I thought that Venezuela was a gun free zone you would think they would love it it there because the normal civilians can’t protect themselves I mean own fire arms. Everyone is asking why do they want to leave so bad because despite all the gun regulations and laws put into place normal Venezuelans are being killed by the government by the police by the gangs and can’t even protect themselves without becoming a criminal in the process. North Americans aren’t very far from this reality we close our eyes to.

The fact that they feel like they can do stuff like this and not get shot dead means America is too soft 20 years ago do you think anyone would try this out Americans first we have enough problems to deal with

Past 200 years Americans have never ran away from there problems in this country, Americans have fought against the government & any other entities for there freedom, job rights & everything else ... but why do immigrants think running away from there country is going to solve everything, they need to learn to fight against there government & whatever other problems that there having in there own country.

they get over here and take all our jobs and be more racist then the white man and we built the world . love AMERICAN CUZ MEXICANS WILL ACT LIKE THEY BETTER THEN WE AS 2 AND THEY THINK THERE ONLY ONE

The lack of empathy in this chat is so toxic, and really makes me sad about “The American Way”. Why is it freedom and our duty to save people in other countries when it comes to participating in a war, but when the mothers and children come knocking at our door. Crying in need, we easily dissociate. Where’s the savior complex we had in all the other wars in other countries? We reap what we sow. Remember these people and their situation, because I really think we might be in the same boat some day.

Lock the borders down, fix us first. We crime, poverty, economic crisis, and much much more! We need to fix our country before we let abunch of others be let in and ruin our country. America must think of the interests of her and her people and her alone. None of this would have happen if all your MF would have just kept trump in office American would have been great now but instead we fell back and have a powerless government I want my country to be number 1 and have growth! We need a republican back in office again! Republicans for 2024! No more sleepy joe we need to MAGA!

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.

Don't let them in. They can do jobs better than Americans and cheaper. Americans think they have entitlement and are lazy. That's why U.S. lost manufacturing jobs to China and Mexico. American CEOs fed up of American worker entitlement mindset. HISPANIC people stop buying American goods with your hard earned money. See how they treat Spanish people from South America.

Reality. Really. Maga right. Let's see unemployment numbers down nation wide since Trump took office. Foreclosures another all time low. Employment is up. Programs that Trump and his republican mates took away to help now not only back in firm place but helping Americans who weren't wealthy and paying for it are now successfully employed, own their homes and contribute fairly with appropriate taxes. People can't find housing??? Programs are out there for those who had foreclosure on them because of Trump's unyielding to constantly tax those not making six digits. Also our country lost over one million innocent men,women, children and infants because Trump REFUSED to acknowledge COVID. Care to speculate how many of them were republicans thinking how could I of believed him??? One father stated after burying his wife who died from it said this. We believed him then my wife of fifty years contracted it and died quickly and our kids who like us who believed him were told had this been taken seriously in the beginning it would of never become this severe. They became democrats.

These people don’t realize how expensive housing in America is and how jobs are not matching the inflation rate . Even the average American is struggling with work, inflation and housing what made them think that they are gonna have it easy. They be watching too many American movies ?

Man, I really do love everyone who is currently in office for our government at the moment. I just love letting any & everyone into our country, not to mention the cost of groceries & gas is amazing too! I absolutely love paying almost $7.00 just for a gallon of milk. It also just makes me think about such better times that were...... I don't know, like three fucking years ago! When the average American could afford to buy groceries & gas, and any other essential as needed. \n\nNow we will find housing for all of the people illegally entering our country, while we have more than enough Veterans sleeping on the street, & not to mention that 22 Veterans a day kill them selves on average. But MS-13 gang member and Mexican Cartel members deserve a nice place to live, hopefully they don't cut off anyone's head during their stay! ?\n\nBut, anyways....This current regime deserves nothing but praise! Thank you, Democrats, seriously thank the Fuck out of you people!!!?

It's similar in the UK too.what pisses me off the most is the way these people think they are owed a good life but want it handed to them.they like us are owed NOTHING. Americans and Brits have had to work hard for the lives we have so how can these migrants honestly expect to just be given everything? Stupid? ignorant? either is accurate but what they definitely ARE is LAZY

The American government, butts their noses in other countries affairs, such as Ukraine, Iraq, Germany etc throughout the past 100 anõs I think that’s how you spell years in Spanish lol. Yet we do not step in and figure out why our South American countries have it so bad that they fight tooth and nail to come to North America for a better life. In conclusion, how about we go to the south American countries stop all the horrible things that are going on in those South American countries so that way they can have a better life where they are. Maybe then they won’t want to come here illegally in droves no matter what the cost. Because no one is doing anything for them. Forget about Ukraine, let’s band together and help our brown brothers and sisters south of the border.

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!

We're seeing this, because the Biden Administration makes foreigners think our borders are open. They're not doing squat to protect Americans. It's not just families trying to come in. It's the cartels & criminals as well. There are legal ways to enter and become citizens.

As housing cost continues to rise where do liberals think all these people are supposed to go why do they always want to come here and take ours and we let them mabye they should build up there own country as Americans we seriously need to worry about ourselves for a while this level of exploitation is totally unacceptable

This is ridiculous!! If they were all Chinese. Would you just let them in?? What do you think if this number of Americans were trying to get into Venezuela? You would be shot. That's it. And that would be the end of it.

This is so wrong....Our Great and Grandparents came here legally through Ellis Island...there was protocol to follow rules and regulations.\n\n\n\n\nNow these people think they can just walk through never learn English and live here and live off the government.\nthis is not fair,and this is wrong...The Borders need to be completed and fixed....Biden does nothing, his cabinet ignores the sad truth.....We have enough American poor and starving here.We do not need illegals coming in.

Did Mexico not open up the borders for Americans to seek refuge a couple of years ago...?... or am I thinking of a movie

I don't think these people going through anything that bad their just poor & want what you have, they don't give a f##k about Americans that are on the streets or any other person

As an American who is going blind hurts and badly has a tent on the street a wife I love and son my wife she is dieng my heart breaks for these people I don't even think they understand that America is not what they think but Lord hear these people forgive my selfish wants\n....... Yet as free will exists and the time draws nigh we did this to the people .......the world men love darkness rather then the light men in power have become corrupt greed on a massive level has destroyed this world in a little more then a hundred and fifty years tho there's always been wars and death and hell on earth but as a whole the earth kept on going yet we have taken and raped this earth for things and trinkits destroyed the rainforest the flood supply and given the young adults drugs and violence yet thell have the so called answer which consists of more death love one another people love one wnother if we don't who we'll and if you don't who we'll love you

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.

Incredible these people think that life is too easy there, politians destroyed the american dream, many americans dont even have a place to live

Thats why american people should be vote donald trump...because only him,always think about american first....make america great again... but really when your have great leaders like him,.automatically they have many enemy wants 'kill' him in many ways...like the president kennedy...

Stop them from coming here at all cost. It's hard enough for us Americans right now. Fix your own country before you think about coming to ours.

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

The amount of money we pay to house them when Americans are struggling in this country already is insane . Why is it these countries have the audacity to think it is our duty to have to let them in ?

This is all being strategize by the hired democratic party.. no foreign person will rush armed American guards with guns without a push, encouragement and payment. These South American citizens are not raised to be this disrespectful, they just aren't... These are humble people.. The WH is encouraging it, allowing it. Think about it.. ?

Americans are sleeping on the streets these people thinks it's better here they gonna have a reality check...

It makes me happy to see all the comments of legal immigrants to the US who are angered by this. Personally I have no issues with legal immigration from any country and I respect it and I'll break bread with you cuz your an American now like me. I think legal immigrants are a breath of fresh air and we can have some support coming from the Hispanic community against illegal immigration. Sm people think if your hard on illegal immigration your racist against Hispanics but that's not it at all. We need more legal immigrants with this mindset to help diversify the republican party and help to stop democrats from labeling it as a racist party. Now adays so many people aren't republican solely because they aren't white and think the democratic party is more favorable to anyone of color. But the republican party favors Americans period regardless of race. Illegal immigration is bad even if America was in a totally different place and bordered a white nation we still wouldn't want em in here just as much. If Canada had a curropt authoritan government and they were all illegally immigrating here than it'd be them we'd be having these disputes with. This is not a racial thing, this is about breaking the law and hurting the US economy.

This is deplorable and it’s going to destroy our country in so many ways. First, our social, educational, and criminal systems cannot absorb this many people all at once. We have enough people immigrating here legally. We don’t need all these illegals flooding over.\nThis is all Joe Biden and the Democrats’ fault, for not doing anything for two-plus years, except inviting these people to come here. These people get benefits, free healthcare, welfare probably, phones, and they shouldn’t. They should be told to go home. They should not be given a court date and then released into the United States! That’s ridiculous. They should be loaded on a C-130 transport, retrofitted with seats and shipped home. The majority of them are not going to show up for their court date. They’re going to disappear into the United States, work under the table, take jobs away from Americans, and send billions of more dollars back to their home country where they have family. I think currently, $250 billion gets sucked out of the US economy every year, due to illegal immigrants all sending $50 each, per month, home to their families in their native country. That money should be being spent here.\nLastly, all these illegals and the “anchor babies” they are going to have here, and the descendants of those babies, are all going to vote Democrat in the future, because of this lawlessness. Then we’ll have one-party rule in this country. That will destroy the country. It’ll be a socialist dictatorship, which is not good. The worst part is, many of these women coming across, are going to have a baby within a year. That baby, who by law is automatically a US citizen, becomes their key to citizenship, because once that baby turns 18, he or she can sponsor his parents to become citizens and also sponsor other family members. It’s not right. That amendment to our Constitution, was meant for descendants of slaves to become citizens, NOT to be used the way it’s being used today.\nAnd if we’re not careful we will all be speaking Spanish in the future.\n\nVOTE REPUBLICAN! It’s this country’s only chance and DEFINITELY vote for Trump in 2024. He’ll fix this mess…

I have no problem with people coming here but do it legally us Americans aren't tryin to keep paying for all of you and none of you pay your fare share of taxes yo for real what the fuck type time are these dems on you know how dangerous that is do you understand how easy it is for Chinese or Russian splinter cells to enter the country like that do you know how easy it would be for them to blend in seeing that we're a country of multiple races of of people none of you think about that do you and it time for America to worry about its own backyard and mind our fucking business and get politicians out-of-office that have personal ties with other countries as far as personal profit gain

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!!!!

As an Indian, I think Americans need Donald Trump at this time, because we know how refugees can increase poverty & unemployment, as here in India lots of Muslims (rohingya) came from Bangladesh to India & thus poverty increased in India & our youth cannot find a job for living.

Know what's sad is that we help everybody and no one helps us, MY SON HAS A 6 MONTH OLD AND BECAUSE OF THESE PPL AND I THINKING THAT THEY DESERVE TO COME HERE AND BE TAKEN COMPLETELY CARE OF IS NOT ONLY ABSURDITY IT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR HANDS... I HAVE A GOOD JOB THANK GOD, I WORK IN A PLANT I WORK MY ASS? LITERALLY OFF FOR MY SON NOT TO BE ABLE TO FIND FORMULA FOR HIS BABY??? I CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE DOLLAR STORE ANYMORE AND FIND MILK BECAUSE THEY GET IT FOR FREE HERE IN ALABAMA, THEY DO EVERYTHING FOR FREE WHILE US AMERICANS PAY FOR ALL OF IT AND NONE OF YOU WANT TO SAY IT BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE TOO SCARED TO AND I THINK THAT SAD AND COWARDLY WITHIN ITSELF

ALL THIS IS BECAUSE OF BIDEN ! THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY LIVINGS HORRIBLE LIFE WHY HE DO NOT STOP THIS HAPPENING ! HE THINK THIS IS HIS FUTURE VOTE BANK ? SO SILLY POLITICIANS TRYING TO DESTROY AMERICANS

Always thinking the grass is greener on the other side. Us Americans are struggling!!

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

Americans will always only care about themselves. Anyone thinking of the kids dying in detention centers?

These people think they have the right to come in to America. Go home we do not want u we cannot feed our own families and u want us to feed u. Get out. Suck if seeing these people in Walmart with their carts full of food and American citizens are going hungry. Beyond pissed. Who do u people think u are.

Why is no reporter heading to Venezuela to see who’s pushing them here or who’s down there advertising like “Agents” and find out if all the missing American Military hardware is heading to Venezuela … listen folks here’s what’s happening the “Deep State” running America, Canada, and Britain are paying vast sums of your money to get illegals to come here … and American money and military hardware is disappearing like crazy .. the WEF has vowed to actively redu the population of Earth to 500 million people worldwide… what i think is happening is the nations without the ability to protect themselves are being forced here … and we will be nuked .. and while the Elites sit in their new American 2.0 and it’s about to happen right around May 8th, 9th, 10th don’t forget Putin is one of them …

Thanks, My son was born in Houston but currently we are living in Canada. Me and my wife are Canadian only. I am wondering if we need to move back to Houston for my son’s university in US in the future. What do you think? Which option is better for my son’s future opportunities by going to Canadian university or American university? Thanks for your opinion.
