We have the same problem not with mexicans, but we have so many people that live on the streets any are English, I wish the Government would get their shit together, there are so many large homes that are empty and shops, I'm sure if they gave homeless paint and materials to fix the properties that they would be happy to make properties liveable, it's not just 10 or 20 i have seen 48 in the past month and must be in every area, I feel so sorry for these people they just want a better life, there's 10000s that come into our country illegally, probably because they tried many times to come here but refused,I wish I had the answer, I also wish I could post what I know to be true, but I can't,?

Save your own country first …we can only do so much for others… Canada also carries a mass amount of homeless people… we are very diverse, but what about our own citizens that are dying, mentally Ill, financial loss, elders,veterans, addictions. These people need to upmost help…and are being ignored…find what is wrong and help them.. without the help cities become criminal grounds because they need their fix, they need the money and they need the help.

im an american, been here my whole life. im two paychecks away from being homeless. i dont have any sympathy for these people. go home

Charity begins at home and ends abroad. Let them fix their own country and whatever's going on there 1st. We cannot take on any more people into this country. We have a crazy amount of homeless people, people that are veterans; that don't even get adequate housing or funding. Yet they think that they can come over here and just do whatever they want. Meanwhile the actual citizens of America are paying X amount of dollars in taxes which are steadily increasing year by year due to situations like this. We need to fix our own country first.

There’s a homeless epidemic at hand as it is..\nSide note;\nAny homeless people I’ve seen are not illegal immigrants, usually white, black, or hispanic people born here.

Understand their home guys.. they’re trapped and victims everywhere they go if they don’t have money and or a well known family. Look at their government, controlled by men with guns that they can really whenever they want wipe those guys out. If they’re homeless here they’ll learn a lesson, and they’ll die like the rest of the people on the streets.. I’m sorry it’s harsh but it’s the truth. we cant stop someone’s life? A person is put on earth by hot and god says ‘be free but love’ who tf is this bitch ass nigga in the blue suit telling me ‘yea you are part of the reason earth keeps spinning but like you can’t go here and you have to do this, and if you don’t you’ll die?’. Insanity, who we should be fucking attacking is our own government, look up the criminal record behind our people in office. But you’ll sit here in this video and watch these innocent kids cry and say they don’t deserve to come here because we got lazy fucks w no passion in this ‘great America’ headass country. Please. And im gon leave it at that, cause god gon do it best. ???‍?

They need to ship them home..we have too many people who are homeless here. ?keep them in Mexico..

Fuck ridiculous we got enough of homeless people over here as it is. And when Christopher Columbus and his gang of Mary men brought all those diseases over here when they came here which wiped out a big chunk of us Native Americans

American has its own problems Ben has to deal with overflow of immigrants we have our own homeless people who need help

Why do they feel entitled that they can come here and be given benefits. We can't help our own, the veterans the homeless, the working poor. I'm so sick of them. Stand up and fight your government for your rights. We Black folks did. We didn't run to another country for relief. With help from other fellow Americans, we forced a change. Yeah, people died, but we stood our ground and won.

Bro no more people please prices are high enough homeless rates are insane and housing is way to expensive. Like no

We need to take care of our own citizens and homeless veterans before people from other countries. They have governments they can vote. They should be fixing their own country instead of coming here and trying to take advantage of what we have. Make your own home better..

I see homelessness everywhere now. What makes these entitled people think that they should come here and be taken care of when we don't even take care of our own?

Let them in their people are hurting we also need to take here of our own people to especially the homeless

Born and raised in the USA and I am homeless wtf are these people thinking they gonna come hear and take what little we have left or are they going to get the Dream package from joe Biden . FJB.

I'm homeless, Navy Veteran and work full time. If housing programs can't help homeless Americans, how can we help immigrants. I want a home too. Update: I'll elaborate more on my situation. I served for four years. I lost my job as an Uber driver in 2018 after my car got repossessed. I live with my fiance who has PTSD from her family upbringing. She tries to work but she doesn't last long. We have gone to 3 different housing programs and they prove to be unhelpful. You make too much money from working they can't help you, if you make too little money they can't help you. WTF!!! All housing that is offered is usually in areas that are in high theft and homeless areas. People steal from you and you up right back in the streets. One program helped me become a fully trained security guard. We have also been in two car accidents, none were our fault. But now I'm stuck just living in a car and working full time. After I work all night I drive around at gas stations, asking people for money for gas and food. Every check I get goes to gas, food and bills. We manage our money wisely. Our money last a day and then we have to go straight back to asking for money again. Everyone I have asked for help is always a broken promise. I don't know what to do anymore.

All these people coming yeah I get it just come the right way man we have millions of people of come over from countries then become homeless we really got to stop this

The world is going through the same migrant shift at the same time. The same is happening in the UK immigrants coming to the UK expecting to reap all benefits just becasue. Meanwhile homelessness and lack of jobs for those who have lived here all their lives and the bottom of the list for basic housing. Adults with children living with parents not entitled to the government finding yet these people enter and are helped/ housed. It's no longer about race but principals. This world is annoying me!

To all the people in the comments upset with poor, desperate, people with no power instead of the American government that has undoubtedly destabilized these countries to the point where their citizens are fleeing to other countries…know that you are angry with the wrong people!\n\nThese people just want better lives for their families! That should cause everyone to question why they want to leave? Is there something we can do to support change in their countries so they don’t want to leave? Can we advocate for that in our politics? Is there something we can do to make housing more affordable? There isn’t a housing shortage, we have 600,000 homeless with millions of vacant homes! Can we advocate for the rights of people over giant real estate companies like Blackstone gobbling up houses and apartments, making them unaffordable before we scream that there aren’t houses for these people?!\n\nThe complete lack of effort around finding a solution is mind blowing to me! Everyone just resorts to basically saying they should all be kicked out!! Why can’t we find a solution? I just don’t get why this is such a controversial issue! Kicking them out or criminalizing them is just sweeping the issue under the rug. It doesn’t solve the problem, meaning after a while they will come back and we will be right back where we started. \n\nI guess I just feel like there should be a little more compassion and problem solving when talking about immigration!

These people bring more crime and homelessness ?

Homelessness is a major problem in every developed country and it always will be. \nThe highest rate for lifetime literal homelessness were found in the UK (7.7%) and United States (6.2%), with the lowest rate in Germany (2.4%), and intermediate rates in Italy (4.0%) and Belgium (3.4%).\nHomeless people do NOT receive an income because it is impossible to send a cheque to those do not have an address. Furthermore, the government does NOT provide the homeless with drugs in order to control them!! That’s absurd! It’s a disgraceful lie!\n\nThere are enough lies and misinformation coming from mainstream media! We don’t need more BS coming from YouTube. \nIf you find this country so disgusting why did you come here? \nWhy don’t you talk about why you left your country and how lucky you are to be here.\nI have lived in Canada all my life and \nI would not trade this peaceful country for any other country on this planet!

Americans are supposed to take care of these people? We have enough homeless people in this country. It’s time the Biden Administration does something to stop this madness. ??????????????

We have homeless people on the street. Get outta here

Bc Biden lets that shit happen, we shoulda kept building the wall ??‍♂️ got nothin against people comin here the right way but illegals getting benefits just for being illegals is fucking asinine. We got idk how many homeless people and isntead of dealing with that problem we coddle criminals ??‍♂️ if we did this anywhere else we’d be looking at time or death, here they get jobs and a whole life ? what a joke..

Allow the border patrols to do their jobs, seal the borders electric fences, rubber bullets and water canons and anyone crossing illegally should be sent to prison automatically 7 years for trespassing into a country illegally...then on release date a 1 way ticket back to where they came from..... if I hurt anyone feelings just write down your address if you wanna house illegals in your place....our families have come here legally generations in and paying high taxes in nyc to see these people just come in and think its all free.... housed in expensive zipcode, hotels, while we overlook the inside of our country... opioid epidemic, country divided, homeless everywhere, let's take care of our own country and everyone who came here legally.!!!!❤ ?? ? ??

That's why the street of america ?? full of homeless people looking for free housing they're sleeping in the street not tax payer

It’s amazing that we are supposed to put these people first before our own citizens. I understand they may have had it rough in their country. But we have a lot of homeless vets who don’t get what they do from our own government.

For people saying Americans can’t even find homes Lol do you know how many houses are vacant in nj and ny as investments ? Enough to solve world hunger and homelessness

On one hand I’m like, we shouldn’t have borders, nobody owns this land, it’s land, ownership is a societal construct\nBut on the other hand I’m like, yeah we don’t need anymore homeless people or people on welfare, we already have enough problems

And the reporter asks, why are we seeing this now? Uhh because Biden and Kamala literally campaigned on this and promised it would happen ..all with the support of rich and powerful democrat politicians that won't even allow a small group of 50 illegalsin their neighborhoods but expect us to accept them with open arms and hearts...despite out skyrocketing crime, homelessness , inflation , rising unemployment , rising interest rates, shortage in critical supplies and resources.... \n\nIt's crazy that people still think Biden is doing a great job while claiming trump is a traitor despite having a single bit of proof... Let alone proof based on standards.

This is the thing guys we are have the highest inflation ever in at least five decades, we have poor American citizens living on the streets homeless and with no food, we are going into the biggest recession in united states of America has ever seen since 2008, we have the highest interest rates in many years that we have ever seen and a lot of people are going to lose their jobs in the next at least 18 months, we have the worse health care system and people are getting sick and dying. \nTimes have changed unfortunately and this is year 2023, not 500 or 300 or 100 or even 50 years ago and there is no comparison.\nWe need to close our borders and take care of our own united states of America citizen first.\nLet's stop sending trillions of dollars in cash to other foreign countries like Ukraine and letting people illegally in our country. ?

We got too many homeless Americans to give way to an entire fockin nation of people, it’s not like I don’t feel bad about it, but it just ain’t possible

Come on over illegals will give you each $5000 in food stamps free housing free medical care shit will give you a brand new car to but now are homeless people they’re real Americans no we don’t care about them. No no no no we don’t that’s the Democrats doing that.

As a Hispanic, I agree with many of the comments here, these people should come legally first to take them in and so they have an easier life when they get here. But American has so many homeless people to take care of first, how can we take care of others if we have to take care of ourselves first?

6 billion dollars they said too much for the wall to protect our people, but over 100 billion to Ukrainian Mafia is not enough. Who is going to help us? We already need help.\nLook at poverty, homelessness, crime and on...\nWe are transitioning to a 3rd world country.

To all of you that just want to let them in.. America is hurting right now.. it’s both the left and rights fault.. to let these people in would be reckless and only hurt ourselves even more. Where will these people go ?? California?? Look there homeless population it’s up 20% from last year.. wtf do you think is going to happen.

Nobody should enter any country with no granted, proper visa. Especially people from Venezuela who are leaving en masse from their country due to poor, economic conditions. Considering legitimate Americans are also experiencing hard economic times now, to have ineligible, undocumented foreigners only add up to America's homeless, and unemployed citizens.

Have fun lol, I'm ethnically hungarian and was born here and I've been homeless most of my adult life. Why support a system that openly hates me? These people don't realize they're walking into a house of cards. ?

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.

Blame biden!!!! These people thinks america owe them. They will be dependent on the government for everything at tax payer’s expense. Meanwhile a lot of us citizens are homeless!!!!

Biden allows this to happen and also in the news in South America don't show the reality of the crisis of homeless people in the United States

We dont need more people here. Many Americans can't even find housing themselves, it would be unjust to let that many people in just so we can give them the houses that people who have been homeless in the country for YEARS deserve more.

They should rush they're own government like this and make the change they are seeking when they come here !! It useless to rush the border I mean why put your shit on our country and our people.. if your unhappy with your country and you don't have the opportunity that your seeking in your country then blame your government and rush them !! They're the ones keeping you down and making life hell for you and your families, while they sit in they're rich ass' watching you suffer and starve !! And if you have a problem with drug cartels then again rush your police or military and take what you need to go and kill the people who are running the cartels !! It's common sense.. but to rush out border and try to come here illegally just makes the American people not want you here even more !! And I can see that these people are eating better than the homeless people here .. even the inmates in our country are starving but these people look pretty dam healthy to me !!

I can believe that they care more about immigrants then US civilians. Example NYC there’s a lot of homeless people and what is the city doing ,giving building shelter, vouchers homes , $$$ , moving the immigrants everywhere in the United States .How about our people , veterans

Millions of Americans are homeless. Take care of your own people first america. We ain't got room.

What I don't understand is how people from another country feel the us owes them entry and support. Why do we pay taxes? Why do we pay for our shelter our food our power our water but these people can just push their way into the US what about citizens that are homeless that are veterans that are elderly ? F Joe Biden Mayorkas needs to be fired

How about we turn them around and find housing and jobs for our homeless and jobless veterans? The very people that have defended your freedoms. The reason Venezuelans are doing this is socialism failed in their country, just like it always does.

Bro I love my Hispanic people bud damn it’s hard out here for us Americans already these people are coming over here on falso hope we’re they going ? Gonna become homeless

I feel for them. I really do but where are they gonna go? People are struggling to find places to live who were born here plus all the homeless population. Where do these people think they’re gonna go? I know if I were born in a third world country I’d be wanting to get into America as well so it’s just sad all around to see

And that's what happens when Americans don't have homes homeless. Don't have homes and all of you m************ that act like nothing's happening. You want to give credit to some other people coming in to our country to our states and they get everything
