Please don’t destroy my Mexico along the ways. Emigrants all over the world even people from the island get to Mexico to go through the Mexican border and the US. Also a lot of the immigrants from South America end up staying in Mexico.?\n\n\nI think Mexican economy would be way better standing today if migrants didn’t come through our country & on top of that staying.??\n\nI will be sad when my Mexico becomes overpopulated ?

I think when it get more out of hand the powers that be will be able to lock us down. It will not be safe to move around. They Create the problem , and them come up with solution that was planed

watch these ldiots ruin it for everyone after them ??‍♂️??‍♂️ they’re gonna shut it down.\n\nThe US is a shlt show rn….. until we figure it out and take care of our own ppl, I don’t think we should be letting anyone in.

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

Damn maybe the US should do the same they get away with it you think other countries would give bed and board to us?

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

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.

Asian immigrant took 10+ years to be able to move to the US, and these people think they are entitled for special treatment, send them right tf back

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.

Mexico always wipe the ass of the us, still instead to see us like allies, they try to invade us because they say the drug addiction of their citizen is México fault, what stupid argument, I think Mexico should start to think in new alliances

There are enough illegal immigrants here in the US. Personally I think we should them instead as most have being paying their taxes and have contributed to our country in their way. Especially anyone that has lived here 10 years and have shown that they are good people.

U.S has been attacking Mexicos sovereignty, thinking they can still manipulate them. Mexico is like “we always have helped with this issue, and back stab us?!” Taking for granted Mexicos help

Because we're under attack I were being propaganded into thinking. Everything's OK don't worry about it while we take your country away because they can't take us by guns so they'll just take us socially.

It sucks they can't make their home countries home and think America is the answer. Meanwhile, America itself is going to sh-t, and it’s only a matter of time before the American people revolt. Ironically, some Americans choose to live abroad because they hate the system here. Get ready to be taxed and overcharged for every living expense. There is no mercy for any worker in the US.

I think US citizens should over thrown their governments and set up a bigger united states of the americas. It would be easy. With all the weapons the citizens themselves have, all the veterans with military training.

I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. I live in El Salvador, but I've been thinking about moving somewhere in North America. The US is cool but, I don't want to run across all of the salvadorans who are already there LOL, I want something new. Also, I'd like to still live in, or at least not very far away, from the Americas. I'm too lazy to go to Europe, and have to learn the language there, sorry, I already speak Spanish and English well enough. Only Japan, or Brazil may change my mind, language wise (my Portuguese is enough so I could get by, and I'm also a Japanese music aficionado).\n\nOn the other hand, I love dressing very flamboyant, and, seeing how Canadians wear in the winter, with those huge sweaters and winter clothing, I wonder if it's the place for me ? (I know, that's a very ridiculous concern), also, I don't know if I'd get used to long winters. I've always said I don't like Salvadoran heat, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to trade that for Canadian winters.

Wtf hell nahhhh get the hell out of here if we tried that crap to Venezuela, any other country, America’s will be detained and placed in prison who do they think they are all these migrants coming over here, rushing into our United States like if all of us want to work to take care of them get the heck out of here with that craziness!!!! if we try to run into another country, that shit is dead I don’t see why we don’t do the same thing we don’t got the money and the taxes to be paying to put these people in prison…nor do we want them here. \nMigration is the Trojan horse in America that’s what’s going on they trying to overpopulate us and distinguish our finances to kill our country and our economy

This is more about their perspective countries than it is about the US\nWe invite all that want to come UNDER THE LAWS SET for this country. We have a right to have standards. U may call that hipócrita bcuz “Then let them all in” well…..\nI think it goes w/o saying that is an impossibility if u want to people entering to fall under a certain type like non violent or fraudulent criminals\nSo many people in that vid would probably make fantastic Americans but peppered through that crowd of people in need of safety and a country that will help their cause are some who don’t have good intentions \nAmericans should look at each other as a patriotic family and the people we choose to enter should chosen in that light

It's the US fault for butting in other counties. So don't be the victims, because corrupted officials want this. The US thinks they own the whole world and they want to bully other countries. They steal resources from these countries for all the welfare freeloaders.

People who think this is about Republicans vs Democrats don't have a clue and are just going with their biases. Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any other president (more than Trump I believe), Trump stiffened up the border, and Biden made measures to actually make it tougher for these Venezuelan immigrants to get into the US once the migrant herd was moving north. This is a result of Venezeula and their economic collapse. If it happened sooner, it would've happened during Trump's time. I'm sure once Biden is out and a republican is president (looks that way), they'll try it again. Even Mexico doesn't want them since they have their economic issues to deal with.

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.

we need to start protecting our borders as if this is a foreign country invading us, which it is .if u don't like ur government overthrow it and make a new one don't just run to what u think is a better choice

Sad reality is is those people aren’t gonna stop at your US borders they’re running straight through your country to Canada. We’re being overrun because Joe Biden. Donald Trump had your borders on lockdown there wasn’t any drugs even getting into your country. They were thinking about making drug labs in Canada to produce the drugs cause we weren’t even getting any drugs up here and I’m talking the government was going to make cocaine in Canada because Donald Trump had the friggin borders on lockdown they were gonna sell grams of Coke inside of our weed stores in Canada. It’s already happening in BC.

At least they could buy nice clothes and travel freely untill to the US border. I don’t think they were in life or death situation.

Blame the rich top top 1% and corporations who make 100’s of billions a year, not these people. The elites who are stealing from the middle class WANT to fool you into thinking it’s the lower class and migrants causing economic problems but it IS NOT. Don’t believe the propaganda people! May God help us all.

Desperate people do desperate things, and may take absurd risks out of fear. These people, PEOPLE, are likely terrified of what happens to them in the lawless cartel-controlled border areas... Scenes like this that demonstrate such desperation break my heart. \n\nI don't think anyone watching this would do anything different if their choice was between trying to escape exploitation, robbery, rape, and murder, and getting arrested by Americans who will, at least, respect their human rights (mostly).\n\nDo people really think that any significant proportion of these poor, dispossessed, desperate people, and their children, are criminals trying to infiltrate and take advantage of the US, rather than hoping and praying for a place to live, a decent job, basic dignity, and some safety and human rights?\n\nBut, y'know, let's be honest. There are a lot of Americans that only see brown people 'invading' 'our land'... I wonder how Native Americans feel about this, eh? (Seriously, I'd like to know... Anyone?)

Ask someone who’s for open borders: “so how many immigrants should we let in? 10 million? 100 mill? Half a billion? What do you think a healthy US population is?”\n\nIncreased population causes increased competition, why do you think the Chinese or Indians get paid a few $$ a day? Perfect way to get Americans working for nothing.

How to start preparing. \n\nTake three days during the work week and turn off your electric and water. Make do with what you can and write down things you needed and didn't have or tasks that were difficult. After you have this list, research alternatives\nEat, wear and consume cheaper. Choose cheaper meals to create room in your grocery budget to put back food. Wear second hand clothes or put a spending freeze on clothes shopping in order to make room to buy what you'll need for the future (especially if you have small children who grow frequently). Consume less electricity, gas, propane by finding alternatives. This may mean using a crock pot, hang drying clothes, using candles at night and opening windows for sunshine during the day etc. With the wiggle room you've created in those bills you now have some money to buy more food storage, medical supplies or invest in a small solar unit. \nMake an edc bag. This is something you will carry all the time (on your person or in your car) that could provide you with what you and your family need for 3 nights. Think about what you may put into an overnight bag if you were to stay at a hotel. This will ensure even if something happens and you're out you're able to shelter in place \nUnderstand how to take care of medical emergencies at home. Remember that in a major event, ems could be down or unavailable for sometime. While this is never the first line of defense in an emergency, understanding how to manage medical emergencies (high infections, deep wounds, pneumonia, asthma attacks, shock, 2nd and 3rd degree burns, poisoning, radiation sickness, torn ligaments, allergic reactions, excessive bleeding) while you wait on help can be life and death. \n Food, water, temperature control are your highest priorities. If faced with a major event where services are limited for more than 3 days, having stored food as well as a way to cook, a way to filter and store water, and a way to keep yourself cool or warm can be life altering. \n\nPlease remember as we are entering or for some of us are already in uncertain times, having this foundation gives security as well as lowers stress. It allows us to feel more in control and gain a more positive perspective on not only our lives but the world. I'm willing to answer any questions from my own experience in the comments if you feel overwhelmed!

They are just going to show up here and be just as broke as most of us... It's sad they think the American dream is still alive for them.

Trust me they get away with our laws, money and our respect. Sick if it. You think mayorkas is keeping us safe.

This is called espionage. You people still think Biden is helping america? Someone payed him off to slowly destroy this country... The last 23 years or so has been pretty noticeable on mass corruption and greed. And the crimes the rich commit.....like we see the pattern... It is slapping us in the face everyday we put our shackles on go to our plantation and literally are only making enough to stay alive. You need a car to get to work, you need an address to get payed, you need insurance on that car, gas, oil, upkeep. It's systemic slavery. And I'm going to destroy everyone with this next sentence. Most of us will be dead soon, thanks corruption.

Canada actually has a stricter policy on refugees than the US. Although detention of asylum seekers is provided for under Canadian law, the criteria for its use appear to be tighter than in the US. In 2017(one year after Trump's administration), Canada had 6251 immigration detainees 2017 compared with 323,591 held by the United States that same year. And the US has insanely more cases of refugees than Canada. Canada's immigration policy has a preference for economic benefits, and the approval criteria for refugee claims are stricter too. Take a look at the Express Entry Programme. Most of the applicants have to get a master's degree to be granted a PR in Canada, but the US is more favourable on Family reunions or Refugees. Although Canada has its own problems, such as housing issues and a healthcare system that might worsen by increasing immigrants, in general, I think the US should learn something more on Canada's immigration policy which is on a talent basis.

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.

Oh no! This will be red meat for the right. Way to go migrants lol. This shows me how closely ppl on the other side of the border pay attention to US policy. I wonder if these scenarios are thought of when changes to immigration policy are implemented. Makes yah think. Sucks that there's places out there that drive ppl to attempt a mass entry into the US.

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!!!!

Having lived in the US for years before moving to Canada ,I must say that Canada remains & its still better than the US . Of course everyone sure needs peace of mind , adequate security & safety for the whole family . Not guns flying here & there like a movie scene . \nThe only exception I have with living in Canada is the crazy tax rate on goods & services . I think the Canadian govt . should work on this . \nOther than that Canada still remains home & far better than the US .\nMy opinion

Not gonna lie I feel for the Mexican people. If we could take them in without it destroying our economy and taking in more cartel members, that would be nice. But nope. Cartel is literally ruining everything for everyone. The only thing I can think of as why the US won't hunt down all cartel is because they get money from them

They are asking for 10$ fees for appointment with an agent i think these guys are making ppl fool becz who is taking the gurantee that they will hire us even after paying them most of the ppl have same remarks about the payments its a completly scam bcz if this is real then why they are not asking ppl to apply from the offical canada website.

Oh man I am Venezuelan but doesn't I mean i think or feel sorry for this pp, unfortunately and probably most of them vote for the current goverment trying to get benefits and now think US needs to take the burden?? THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM!! Or any country whatsoever, you are not gonna let in random pp on ur house before ur own family

People from other countries think that by coming here it’s all going to be better but it’s already bad for us right here everything is so expensive

Who do these people think they are? What gives thdm the right to demand anything? To charge at a border like that? Makes an absolute joke of every person who follows the law and legally migrates to the US.

I think Canada should send back the ones that crossed over us Canadians needa focus on people that were born here. Instead of the ones crossing illegally. I’m most cases we’d be sent back or worse.

Listen to the reason.\nYou really think because there's land here that this country can support millions and millions of people at one time it will destroy what everybody is so violently try to get to. Their will be no jobs because there will be to many people, if there's very little money and way to many people they , us will have no money for rent there will be make shift cities just like the countries they are trying to get away from. This country will fall from to many people. Close the border let countries know there's no jobs build the wall

This is BS ! I have NEVER EVER had to wait a full YEAR to see a doctor. Period . I live in Toronto. I write this in late March 2023. In the USA....you are on YOUR OWN when it comes to things like social issues and healthcare. Your so-called private insurance plans do not ALWAYS cover what YOU THINK they cover regarding healthcare. You could not pay me enough to ever move to the US from Toronto. My parents had MULTIPLE heart-related medical procedures in Ottawa that would have BANKRUPTED them if they were Americans. You are taken care of IMMEDIATELY if your life is in danger when it comes to healthcare. Americans never mention this. This actually happened to my 41-year old daughter. STOP listening to the DRAMATIC LIES among the comments below. Get real. Then there is the HUGE chance of being shot , say , in a school or a church or even a WALMART in the good ol'US of A. Even Christian elementary schools are not safe. I kiss the CANADIAN ground here in Toronto.

My parents migrated from Mexico and lived a hard life to cross and live in the US for the past 45 years. Idk why these Venezuelans think they have the right to just run into the country and have everybody expect them with open arms

I moved to Canada from the US a few years ago. I lived in the US for over 30 year and the US government is a JOKE. Congress never got anything done regardless on what party is in office. If you're gay or trans I wouldn't move to the US because it's been very dangerous for that community especially in red states. The US still can't get better gun control to stop all of the mass school shootings yet and they think TikTok is the main threat right now. You can see where their priorities are. You can tell I moved to Canada due to political reasons lol Sure the cost of living in Canada are higher and I had to get adjusted to colder weather, but it was the best thing I ever did and I would NEVER move back to the US any time soon.

They have 0 zero respect for our country. It's not America's fault that other countries are so dangerous to their own people. That being said, yes, morally we should help people. But the people in need of help need to be respectful and follow the boundaries (laws) of the country trying to help. This is ridiculous and dangerous. They are not US citizens but they think they can just push their way into our country. We as Americans from USA are not allowed or able to do this to other countries

And my life turned upside down this Friday by illegal immigrants here in Louisiana. They ran a red light, smash my car, totaled it. While running from border patrol and customs. I counted eight people running out of the vehicle and not one gave two shits to check on me, even though I was injured. Seven of them got away the only one they caught was a 14 year old Honduran child that claimed amnesty. So vehicle which they stole, which had stolen license plate, and apparently was full of stolen tools all was seized. The owners will be lucky if they get anything back since it is being held as evidence. I was told by My Attorney chances are my insurance will not pay me in full for my vehicle. Also, I only have a few payments on my car left, and I’m forced to pay it even though now I have no vehicle to get to work, because all my equity is tied up in it, funny thing is I recognize this kid from one of the jobsites down the street. They literally beat me in a bid on. Mind you only buy $400 differences I’m having to pay taxes it’s a joke when you say these people take jobs and no one else wants thing is it’s not jobs no one else wants it’s jobs that have become jobs. No one wants because of the pay continues to fall prices continue to increase, everyone thinks he’s illegal immigrants make no money on these jobsites most of them have nicer vehicles and live in nicer places than the guys I know. The Democrats who are used to vote for because I thought they were for the workingman have completely switched. Their allegiance is to the large corporations that just want to drive down competition and raise their profit margins. They don’t care about America. They want a global economic system in which we have to compete with people that are willing to do the same work as us for a little less because they don’t have to pay what we have to pay and they go back to their countries and live like kings where our dollar buys a lot. They literally use their influence and corruption to take down Trump‘s administration because he was actually doing something about America’s problems. What a damn shame it’s time to change the system. If you’re not voting for a Bernie Sanders or Trump you might as well not voted off because you will get no change. Frankly, I think Bernie Sanders is a terrible choice, but it beats Joe Biden, because at least Bernie Sanders does care. Trump 4 more years!!!!

So what is the UNSC doing to solve this civil unrest? I think the important factor to add in is the ties between Maduro and the Communist nations. That now this is causing deeper instability that is beyond what the US can mitigate. Coming from South America to North America? This calls for International condemning by the UNSC and involvement to consider future solutions so these people can live in peace in their own nation. Im disgusted

Lol they think yelling in our faces and acting like fools is gonna get them across. Let’s be honest the us has been to nice
