These people are desperate, can you imagine things being so bad in your own country that you travel thousands of miles to try to get into another one that promises a better life? It truly is sad for those who have empathy. Perhaps the United States should tackle the immigration problem by trying to make things better in other countries so those folks don't feel in need to cross over into America. Instead of stopping us aid helping other countries, and waging and supporting wars in other countries, the USA could take a different approach and actually help the world become a better place. It's crazy I know, but it just might help.

Good! Don't feel bad for them.

If anyone knew how bad and unsafe life is in Juarez Mexico you wouldn't blame people from trying to run out of there. With the drug violence it's normal to just see dead bodies hanging from the side of a freeway together or laying on the streets. It's normal for young women to be kidnapped and killed. Normal for even the reporters reporting on the cartels to be killed. Many people don't even feel safe leaving their homes. Given half a chance I would try to run in there too but I understand the concern that we just can't let so many people in our country. I see both sides.

Democrats and the left have actually lost their minds. This is a very interesting study in human behavior lately.\nStockholm syndrome? They are going right back to the media who told them Biden was sharp and on point, Kamala was going to win, the economy was great and inflation was just 2%, and your $29,000 average student loan debt (some much higher) would land you a good job. I feel bad for these young people. Just do a search for Can’t find a job and laid off on Y T. This started early last year. These might be those youth voters who went for Trump.

The mental gymnastic is quite impressive. Imagine my shock when crime is treated with enforcement. It would be one thing if Americans could reciprocate invading other countries, however, unfortunately that is not allowed. I do feel bad for illegal immigrants because they got away with breaking the law for so long and now the law is being enforced at once.

I feel bad for the kids

I would feel bad for them, maybe back in 2013, when I remember things were ok for me and many others in the US. Now it's been such a downfall for many of us that we can't even feel bad for them. I mean we have thousands and thousands of homeless people, and they wanna come in thinking they'll get help. Like... Na

I feel bad for the kids!!!!!

I feel bad for many who want to come legally, but this mass attempt to force entry into the United States, this is not the right way.

Keep noticing in the news. That it keeps coming from the angle how it's going to hurt American citizens. Never what it's going to do to Mexico or Canada. Just how bad it is for America. What about the other side? What will Canada and Mexico feel? What goods? Always from the angle of be scared America this sucks for you and only you.

As an American I feel bad for Canada and Mexico... Prices will increase in the US, but people dont realize the US is the least dependent on trade of any country in the world. Trade makes up 17% of American GDP.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

Justin Trudeau has got to be every bit as bad as Joe Biden and I feel sorry for the Canadian people all he needs to do is shut the freaking border.

Look…people who break laws belong in jail and should pay full recompense for their errors. So, if they’re here illegally, then they have to pay.\n\nThat said, I do feel bad for the minor children of illegal immigrants, as they were forced into this situation and the actions of their guardians is not their fault.\n\nSo, as much as I feel strongly about upholding the law, I also feel compassion for those children. It’s a sad time. ?????

Too many Indian abroad\nThey have very bad attitude regardless of age, rank , tittle or foreign passport holders\nNZ, US, AUS etc\nMost are rude, loud and feel so enttiled\nThey cause drama in all places\nHotel, airport and planes etc\nThey are all over places and I wonder how they survive \nwhen most ONLY EAT VEGETARIAN\nStrictly Indian vegetarian*\nVery picky eaters and drinks alot opt beers and whiskey \nTHE ONLY COUNTRY WITH WAY TOO MANY WHEEL CHAIR users at the airport\nwhen they actually can walk

Too bad, fix your own country instead of feeling entitled to invaded US.

French Canadians have always been treated like boat people by the Anglo Saxon racists.Don't feel bad it is the Canadian way.

It’s bad people who ruin it for others. US. Citizens should feel safe in their own country.

Open borders policy ruined the whole system. I feel bad for some of these people but being violent at the borders just proves why we can't let them in.

You see what Biden done? He actually made illegal immigrants feel like they are welcome and now Trump is the bad guy..get outta here! Trump is doing fantastic!❤

They think they can guilt trip us into feeling bad, FYI we don't care...

I do feel bad seeing people in distress like that woman. But man. Idk what to say. I hope she can find a way. but that is crazy. It’s a whole crowd.

They take away from so many homeless Americans, especially women. Enough is enough. There are so many in this video trying to get in. Imagine what would happen if they succeeded? Not to mention the ones that are already here. I don't feel bad for them. If they stick together, they can make their Mexico a great america, too.

Why all of a sudden all these Venezuelan people coming to the USA? I’ve never seem so many people desperately coming in to our country like this. I feel bad but it’s waaayy to many of them

I feel bad for some of these folks who may have left their country under bad conditions, for instance venezuela, imagine the harsh journey they had to take to get to the border and then to be denied entrance, this is where the desperation is coming from, such an extreme let down at the end of the journey.......... what do some of these people do who have absolutely no money left and have a kid or 2 with them? and their like 1000 miles from their point of origin?....holy smokes.

This ain’t good!!\nAs an American citizen that’s pays taxes I hornslty feel so bad for these people \nYet I would say the democrats r pure evil for allowing this happen and instigating this to occur- they wanted more iligals for more votes and u see this occur \nDemocrats should be dragged to the border and forced to watch the fruit of their policies \nYet I’m sure they r in Ghana or so where abroad

Folks thank Obama for this . All this with Jennifer Aniston is a distraction. He is so gay . But , Jennifer is still guilty because she’s being paid to lie for him . I used to like her & feel bad the way Brad Pitt did her . She’s a greedy money hungry hussy . No good….

Wow it's only been 9 hours and this is already badly aged speculative bs. everyone who swore Colombia was gonna stand their ground must feel dumb to see how kickly they cowered at a real president.

Feel bad for the coke heads

i get it... i do... but man its so hard to see. those aren't terrorists! they're obviously people seeking a better life! is it possible to legally immigrate here? absolutely. my cousin did it. but its not easy. most american citizens wouldn't be able to pass that test, and its an expensive and lengthy process. i do feel so bad for these people. =(

I feel bad and sorry for Americans\nHe will be in the history to form part of falling America story

Afterall columbian dark roast coffee is what real men have anyway. This ain't no sweetened girly drink (BTW, What would that even be!). Yall are missing out. I feel bad for you.

If you all are watching CNN and think it’s actual news I feel bad for you. These people lie more than any other news station. Propaganda machine

CNN is really bad news to take them from. ? I voted for Trump cause u need a cucu to deal with cucus that’s how politics are, and Trump did that well. For anyone mad bout the boarder, how would u feel if strangers came into ur home and lived off ur food and etc but ur kids who were born in ur house gotta pay. That’s wat the US was under Biden

The reporter misdirected the whole story. The story was about tariffs and their effects on both the U.S. consumers and the public as well as the country of Colombia. The story is not about how people planning to come to to the U.S. feel, even though that is of interest. This is an example of how the media and reporters miss the point. Bad journalism.

The mainstream is trying to make me either feel bad for migrants or make us feel like we need these dirty third world people, who won’t assimilate to our culture, is worse for us than it is for them.. ????

They’re acting like we’re supposed to feel bad that these folks don’t plan on coming to the US anymore.

Have to feel bad for these people trying to escape their country

This man means business he not playing with nobody these 4 years try him if you want I feel bad if your on the bad side of President Trump

for all of you in the comments trying to bash Trump talking about how this was a bad move and going to drive up prices, make enemies, etc. how do you feel now that the Colombian president has folded and is sending his presidential plane to pick them up? The threat of tariffs worked didn't it? Maybe it's time you admit to yourself you've been lied to and Trump knows what he's doing and has our country's best interest at heart.

I feel bad for them. They can thank the democrat politicians for their heartbreak. This should have never been allowed to happen. It should have never started.

I do feel bad for the emotional pain that families will feel with the inevitable fall out from deportations. A necessary part of the situation created by the illegal immigrant themselves.

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

I feel so bad for the children who have to go through this. I understand they want to come to seek a better life, but many are also criminals trying to get in.

I really feel badly for the poor students that were scammed.

I don't feel bad about this, fix your country India and implement a system that's fair to everyone

They arent our problem. I dont feel bad.

Am I supposed to feel bad about this?

This is what WE voted for!! Its not just trump hes just taking action on what the american people want so you can turn on your best acting skills and use your softest voice but we dont feel bad for people who are taking our jobs ruining our economy and making us poor.

Don’t feel bad for any of them. They should have return home when he won.. Every country protects their borders, so there is nothing wrong with US protecting theirs.
