On the serious side now. What if you lived in a country that was so poor you barely could live. Now what if you were a family man who couldnt provide for your loved ones. Then you hear about this place where its called the land of opprtunity and has the best economy in the world. Thanks to Joe. You can fact check that too. Would you give everything you had to find a better way of life for yourself and love ones or would you just waste at the side just to die.? Thats a deep question for many because they could not answer it. Be grateful you not one of these poor people who have it a lot harder and have less to almost nothing but believe The United states of American could help them. Trump supported a wall on the West Coast thur Texas . I wonder why at times . I have been around the world and one thong i can say about walls. They are not built to keep people from coming in country but built to keep the people from leaving the country and a wall signifies communism. Think about that onebfor a minute.

Have you been to Walmart lately???? I'm not joking it's a hundred percent illegals and they are using FOOD STAMPS for everything all day long! Not one of them speaks any English and they have no plans to become American, they cross the border with clenched fist held high to invade and take this country back! We haven't seen anything yet!!!! It will get so much worse than these little battles at the border! Pay no attention to CNN, (THEY LIE 24/7) instead just go to Walmart and see for yourself!!!!

My wife of 32 years came to the United States legally in 1987, we met in 1990 and got married one year later, she has fully integrated as an American. My wife is the first person to tell you that the illegal aliens coming over the border is wrong on so many levels, first is we do not know who is coming over that border, second it is not impossible to emigrate to the United States, it just takes time, effort, and a clean record. These people crossing the border have no respect, come for free handouts, nearly all of them commit crimes once here, from murder, prostitution, drug trafficking, theft, child trafficking, assaults, and robberies. This is an attempt by the Democrats to create a Socialist Marxist System in our country, the illegal entry into this country has got to stop, and Democrats must be held responsible for doing this to the American citizens and people who came here legally. This is about accountability in our government.

As a Canadian I'd just like to say, she's so wrong. Africans love Canada, and we love them. Now, African Americans, thats a tricky one. Its not about the colour of ur skin, its about attitudes. 90% of the time when dealing with African Americans, u can tell their waiting and looking for racism, get upset when they dont find it. The victim mentality is a real turn off. Again, go ask some Africans about life in Canada, i bet u get more positive than negative. The American black culture is the problem for most people, in most places, including America itself. The inability of this show and its host to act like theres no legitimate reasons why so many feel as they do about American black culture, just makes this an echo chamber. \nI have African friends in Africa, i have African friends here in Canada. \nBut because im white, it must be a lie.?\nTell me my African American friends, are any of u deceitful, hateful, arrogant, nasty, vengeful? Or, are y'all perfect?

It’s been long and I’m literally emotional you made me remember my 2018-19 days when we used see you’re vlogs daily pls pls j start vlogging again and bring ali bhai pk sunny and I literally forgot the name of you’re american friend the athlete one thankyou and love you’re vlogs

Why didn't they start shooting them down? They're forcing they're way in the country and no one stupid then, where do any of them go. They do not get to bust in and take resources from Americans who are already homeless.

Why are you swing this? \nThink about this for a second. Why would you flood the borders of America with foreign nationals???\nTo weaken the country. Stop letting them do your landscaping...fix your house. Hire American contractors. Don't hire immigrant janitors ...your gonna wake up one day and America will be Mexico

Find. Iranians. In. There they are there they Speck Spanish. They. One over for. To destory. American. Biden. Open. Gaye for bide. Want. Them to kill Trump.

That’s because most Americans have NEVER experienced immigration issues at the border, or been separated from their kids by border security guards, so they don’t know how these people are feeling because they’ve never been in that situation or walked in their shoes. Sorry, but some Americans don’t appreciate what a good life they have.\n\nMaybe weed out all the ones that shouldn’t be in Congress. That would be a great place to start……..???

Set up the Machine guns fire fire Fire!! Like back in ww1 when they started running towards them ? population control. Plus have y’all heard a illegal killed 2 girls with a basketball bat and a machete 12 and 8 years old. I wouldn’t care one bit to kill 20 million people to stop that from happening to our Community of blacks whites and hispanics Asians etc Americans first everyone last.

As an American born Hispanic citizen with one immigrant Father, and two immigrant maternal grandparents, I will say what needs to be said. The government was NOT made to PROVIDE help. It was made to MANAGE the country as a WHOLE! There’s a legal way of doing things! All these immigrants you see here are clearly uneducated, and will have a negative effect on the local communities surrounding the borders. Naturalized citizens hate nothing more than an ignorant illegal immigrant.

I am a black south african and live In Edmonton Alberta since 2010 I worked hard and built a life for my self and my family I have never gone through any racism in Edmonton Alberta Canada I have white black and native American friends if anyone should be complaining about racism in Canada it's the native American people let's not talk about how us as black people treat eachother that comes from different African countries we have no love for one another

My parents came from a communist country so I really hope we can make more Venezuelan’s Americans. No one deserves to live under oppression and we can just send those Marxist college professors over there for a trade.

She asked why is this happening, One of the first things Donald Trump did when he entered office was take away funding and change our foreign policies with south American countries, making their citizens lives worse than they already were. For many people leaving them little choice. Some are truely political refugees.

Why, why here?.. hispitality..they should understand that Americans fought one another over the issues these guys are fleeing from..why do they think running here will be a good solution ?

We can’t keep them out and promote the American dream we are the ones that sold them hope. Their government is literally in shambles because of our economic policies. This is really all our faults. Not theirs. God bless them.

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

tHE ONES TO BLAME FOR THIS MADNESS IS THE bIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT SINCE THE BEGINING OPENED THE BORDERS TO EVERYBODY WHO WANTED TO COME IN. tOTAL DISASTER TO BE PAID BY THE aMERICAN TAXPAYERS.

If the USA stopped impoverishing the rest of the American Continent, stealing natural resources and buying presidents, no one would come here.

The issue here is not that we have a housing crisis , first of all let’s start with honesty. I have multiple friends from different culture backgrounds, however, one thing that sticks out to me , and some of you may not want to hear it , it’s that most of my friends that are predominantly “white” have become homeless or nearly missed it by being able to get some rental assistance either through local or federal grants. With that being said, I’m an American as well but in all reality it’s mostly immigrants or their offsprings that I witness myself still living regularly even during and after covid,why is that ? Why ….

Land of the Free and a home of the Brave. A sanctuary country right? We the people? Human beings are trying to enter into a free country. What's the problem? They are not dogs and cats who need paper work like licensing or A.K.C. Registration. When are we gonna get it right? I'm a black man in America. Yet I know Love lives matter. It's about the blood of Jesus. Sure let's do things decent and in order but I'm tired of seeing our people on this planet struggle to walk on free land. Let's continue to respect our Native American brothers and Sisters too. We have a history as mankind we must not go backwards. We gotta call on Jesus to help us find the correct way to do this people. Come on. We gotta humble ourselves and pray for specific problem resolution regarding immigration, freedoms, love and respect, cultural awareness, differences urgencies, priorities and authorities. IM TEARIN UP GUYS. ? I AM GOING TO GOD IN PRAYER. MY NAME IS JOSHUA. WILL ANY ONE TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME? PLEASE DO. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS FROM GOD. A THUMBS UP WILL MOTIVATE ME AND INCLUDE YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH MINE. OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS. I BELIEVE HE WILL HEAR US CORPORATELY. I HAD A VISITATION FROM AN ANGEL AND I DO KNOW THAT GOD IS WITH ME WHEREVER I GO. SOME THINGS ARE ONLY SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME IN JESUS NAME, THAT THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. AMEN??????

I am not against inmigrantes because I am one as well, but really this is not the way to do it. As I can see here this people is fighting hard to cross the border to get a better life , then why not to do the same in your own countries to fight for your rights of have a better life. I came in different circumstances when I married an American citizen, and I am the only one in my family to live in USA, the rest of my family live in my country of origin ( in Latin America) . Fight hard but use that energy to fight in your own country and the world will be better if all of you get rid of bad politics in your own countries . I know you all can do it because I see in this video people fighting hard so then you can do the same in your countries. ?????

I pray every one of them eventually gets in, people saying they should stay and fight to sort the country out are delusional loool why should they? Venezuela's been slowly destroyed for the past 24 years by the americans foreign policy. This is just another case of the chickens coming home to roost.

They are American hating men and they are here for one reason to make us go bye-bye and it's all your fault fake news

LIBERALS ARE BEHIND THIS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT,AND PEOPLE IN THIS AREAS ARE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS,AND HAVE WORKED HARD FOR THE LIFE AND LUXURY OF THE LAND THAT'S BEING INVADED INTO,AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS BEHIND THIS,AND THIS IS AN INVASION OF THEIR RIGHT 'S,AND THIS IS A PLAN ,WAY BIGGER THAN THE MAN EATING ICE CREAM IN THE PEOPLE'S WHITE HOUSE.

Whenever you mock the Lord, he always returns the favor with an earthquake or two. You want to study and devote yourself to which magic, and you get what you deserve. There's only one way out South Americans and that's through Jesus Christ that's it that's the only way this place ain't going to save you. When and if you make it here they're going to murder you. You're being used like pawns. There is something you can do as a whole. Go after your you have enough people to discard them. Do it for your children... The United States is completely bioengineered. The food will kill you here it's band and so many other countries. Don't make any plans on getting fat here unless you want to die early on.

The hipocresy of American politics is just too much, on one hand they will give you the idea of resolving the border issue, on the other some work to get money in their pockets by cartels and other criminal organizations worldwide like isis, and on the other killing the economy by not making the illegal immigrants work like Florida. I mean is a mess, not one sided like many people see on here, the root of the problem is so much deeper and it involves a lot of things sadly :/\nJust hoping everyone will be okay for the times to come and know who the real enemy is (hint: is not these people who are desperate like others in the country). It has always been the ones on top who make you believe a color or party is gonna change a thing when it’s not

That's what happens when Americans cause poverty in other countries. It only creates more migrants flooding to America. Imported goods from Mexico to America are done with very cheap labor. Americans are able to live luxurious life under the labor of foreigners because if they did all hard labor themselves, they would be poorer. No Americans will work for one dollar per hour in labor. However, these migrants were accepting to work for a dollar or less per day, and under inflation rates, it's not enough to survive on such wages.

We need more leaders like President Bukele of El Salvador and AMLO of Mexico. President Bukele incarcerated thousands of MS-13 gang members without trial. They are all in jail for life. If you have gang affiliated tattoos they come ant take you to jail for life. El Salvador is gang free and all citizens are happy. Ironically, the USA politicians are screaming human rights abuses. President AMLO stopped all catering to the high classes and wants to be more independent of the USA. This of course was met with USA indignation by politicians of the USA. We are not a very introspective country. Not that it ever makes the news but Mexico is home to 1.6 million Americans that are legally there and anther .5 to 1 million living in Mexico illegally. Remember that Banana Republics were forcefully ( With military action.) made to trade with the USA. Dole fruit being one of the main driving forces of USA interventionism. This act kept most of Central America’s governments weak and destabilized. We destabilized El Salvador all through the 70s and 80s. We destabilized Venezuela when our politics ran counter to theirs. We toppled and incarcerated President Manuel Noriega of Panama and went to war with Panama. Pablo Escobar of Panamawas killed with CIA operatives. Right or wrong our footprint is part of Latin America and the consequences of this still reverberate in todays’ immigration problems.

And yet no one here is arguing for housing for homeless veterans and other Americans…….

I hate to see Mexican Americans working in law enforcement to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country like legit if it was up to me I don’t have a problem with it but I can see why our country has issues with that due to the economy misbalance that can occur. At the same time those cops are just doing there jobs just like me and you. But who knows maybe they let one or two slip obviously not everyone.

barely find housing and also barely find a job for our own American citizens but yet jackass in the White House won't get off his butt or do anything to fix this problem we have an invasion heading towards our border keyword invasion the American dream is gone so is the American land of opportunity s*** left the building like 10 20 years ago the dollar ain't worth a damn thing we're in the 30T's when it comes to debt we have a jackass president doesn't want to do a damn thing he has to be told what to do instead of doing his exact job. bring RFK Jr. or Trump in either one. Into office 2024 two men willing to do the job as President.

It would be fine, if they became Americans, but unfortunately, they remain faithful to their old culture, the one so shitty they had to leave it.

Immigrants and their dirt cheap labor undermines skilled experienced American workers who deserve higher wages but don't get them because immigrants will work for pennies on the dollar and will live 20 people in a one bed room apt.

Here's a few ideas on how to stop this mess: \nTrump's border wall.\nTrump's immigration policies.\nDHS/HHS/ICE etc all doing their jobs and enforcing the laws we have.\nStop inviting them. Stop promising them all this help. They won't come in droves if they know they ain't getting a penny from us. \nThe ones we do take in, start with housing them in the Governor's mansion in each state. \n\nThis is AMERICA. AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST! \n\nMore than 6.3M illegals. \nThere are 33 states with a population of 6.3M. \nHow many more people can we sustain? NONE.

i started to wake up when i shared an apt with a rich venezuelan girl and would hear them bashing americans and only hang with venezuelans, their english was terrible , their mindset was nowhere near our culture, and then they would brag about their visas, my last draw was when they voted!!!!!!!!! they didn’t understand shit about this nation and somehow were able to vote!!!!! that s when i ve had enough and started to wake up! it s not only illegals aliens but ALSO foreigners that do have visas/any legal permission to live in here, the system has become a joke!!! a big fat one!!

America needs to take care of home FIRST!!!! House the Americans here in America you know the ones that Works for a living here And Our Veterans too...............??????

While y’all are complaining about them coming in to the United States, I imagine none of you remember the history lessons of this country and how the government killed many Native American and stripped them of their land. It’s shameful that we aren’t helping the world more. Shame on every last single one of you.

Send them all back and permanently ban every one that attempts to cross illegally even 1 time!! Anyone that wants to legally immigrate, give those going through the legal process only 1 chance as well. Full detailed background checks, medical evaluations, focus especially on the criminal history, etc.. if any one trying to immigrate has even a misdemeanor, send them back, deny them permanently and permanently ban them from ever entering!! Lock the borders down! HELP AMERICANS FIRST!!!

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.

do you see the Americans in the crowd this is something our government is pushing for here one side anyway. this is to show that people are not freely entering but those of us that know this is a set up to change minds don't fall for this shit.

Folks, I need to educate many for a second. When you immigrate to this country you DO NOT become a citizen when you get legal clearance. You can become a permanent resident at best which means you can live, work and do most other things here legally. You DO NOT get to vote or work in government agencies as a lawful permanent resident. To become a citizen you have to wait a minimum of 3 years, or more depending on your permanent resident status, to then apply for citizenship. You then apply for the citizenship application and if accepted the process requires you to take a test and go through a series of questions about U.S. history and government knowledge in an interview that you need to pass, before you are awarded citizenship. Through this process you are SUPPOSED to be committing yourself to the United States of America as someone who denounces your allegiance to your old country and is now pledging your allegiance to the U.S. This is now your home country and you treat it as such. You are now an AMERICAN, not a whatever from wherever that just lives in America. It should be a big deal and one to be proud of. I know people that have been here for 25 years as a permanent resident and they still have no desire to become a citizen. They have lived off of this country, raised families in this country, worked and benefitted from this country and still align with their old country and are completely amiss to what it means to become a U.S. citizen. There is a reason that only citizens are allowed to vote! Because you should have an allegiance to America and should vote accordingly and not be allowed to work in our governmental agencies for the same reason. Legal status and citizenship are NOT the same.

Help God chosen children's they are his chosen ones help them out the blacks Mexicans Latinos and Americans natives are chosen ones we must help his people now this is all in the Bible our history help his chosen children's right now I love you people I hope you all will get help God bless you all!!

Women be proud to be women men be proud to be men and Americans be proud to be Americans. Because someone wants to be you and one way shape or form.

Americans are going to be a minority one day in their own country. \nNow my taxes have to pay for these people to be on welfare, and have dozens of babies with free medical.\n Good luck to us Americans we're going to need it.

Nobody knows what they have gone through to get to the USA. WITH THE DREAM OF A BETTER LIFE just like all Americans ancestors did. But yet nobody told them that the USA is broken as a society once more. My heart goes out to all that are in this situation. Just hope that we never find ourselves in their situation one day.

Well just straighten up and join the human race not the simian race, the whole world sees your people how y'all are behaving... the whole world! no one wants y'all... wait her mom won a lawsuit? if the country was truly prejudiced she wouldn't have won!! y'all American blacks don't wanna go to Haiti, Jamaica, or Africa...TOO DANGEROUS!!

Americans need to house every single one of those asylum seekers with a tax free stipend of 250K each so they can better themselves. Wtf is wrong with America

Every one in this world have there on country and government . Not the American black we don't have a country or a government but we just keep going were the strongest people on planet spiritual.

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.
