Those poor Venezuelans. If you know why you wouldn't blame them.

If American politicians stop stealing we wouldn't have homeless Americans and we could help all people who come here, Billions to Ukraine yall ain't bitching about that

Free homes free money jobs waiting for them. Why wouldn't they act like that.

I understand coming to America is the thing nowadays but if you was born here you wouldn't like it you would rather be born somewhere else and just let it be with it be just born there and die there. Sad but true?

If trump would have never left office this type of shit wouldn’t be happening 6 blocks from my house

Just remember u did nothing special to be born American. So you wouldn’t understand these people struggle! The American government caused the crisis in their country, so they want to come to get the opportunity that was taken from them by American government. Stop acting like u don’t understand this! U claim to know the temperature of a planet 100 trillion miles away from Earth but can’t seem to figure out the temperature of the Venezuela people? ?????. You stop that.

That’s ridiculous . Stop them period . But Democrats want this . Trump wouldn’t have let that happen .

I would I wouldn’t move to either one of those places they’re just not worth it not to me I’m an American born and raised in the USA America isn’t all that either but it’s a land of milk and honey and that’s why a lot of people want to come and I’m trying to get in America gives you a lot of free things that other countries will never ever give you so people better pray and see where God wants you first

The homeless are drugged out burn outs you wouldn’t give them a damn dollar if they asked you for one ? these people will work the lowest jobs with the worst pay that so many homeless Americans would never accept, the homeless would rather beg for money cause they’re too busy shooting up drugs ?yall act like y’all give a damn about homeless yall just don’t like immigrants and use homeless as a reason to not let them in, when was last time you gave a homeless a dollar? And when was last time you PAID a landscaper to fix your lawn? How much does a dollar cost? ?

Where’s the US Military? Now is the time to use them to get control of this situation on our homeland!!!! I don’t care myself I’m so tired of our country being overrun and taken advantage of by illegal foreigners just bullying their way into this country!!!! You wouldn’t do this crap in Russia or China get this sh** in order US Government!!!!! Send these people back home!!!! Anyone caught trafficking is facing harsher punishment!!!! Don’t care if child was born here to illegal parents to me you’re still illegal!!! GET THE HELL OUT!!! Most of you when you get here you don’t accept the American way of life anyway, so stay in your own countries!!! This one is falling apart at the seams as it is!!!

In a lot of other countries most of those people wouldn’t have been shot dead…. You can’t say America is racist cause if so they would of done what most countries would of done

Corruption, Cartels, no employment, no support etc! Who wouldn’t run? Why did the Europeans come to the American borders 500 years ago? I’m sure the reasons were similar. Better fortune! If they had good fortune were they were I’m sure they wouldn’t have left! These problems will disappear when the corruption disappears globally!

Had they did what trump said this wouldn't be a discussion

This wouldn’t have happened if you voted Trump in 2020.

Where's the president? for got he wanted this to happen. Trump wouldn't have let this happen

They wouldn't stay and improve their originating location. They won't treat the U.S. any different. It's perverse!

Mess up their country put sanctions now they come to your door step. Change your policy towards their country then they wouldn't have to come over here.

They wouldn’t be here if the US didn’t interfere with them so much.

The moment they cross the border, “open fire!” That’s a violent attempt to invade this country and should be met with deadly force. Do you think they wouldn’t have hurt or killed the law enforcement officers trying to stop them from invading? They do it all the time and it’s time to fight back forcibly.

open fire area if u ask me sounds bad but you gotta make a example people take us for a joke sometimes and clearly they think we're not serious otherwise this wouldn't have happend

Sad reality is most of these people are nothing but lazy ignorant free loaders who want to exploit the US but wouldn't think twice to betray the country for any little benefit

Cartel in Juarez is not organized at all.. They gotta pay to cross n in Laredo that shit wouldn't fly.. Cartel loosing money like that ?

we can’t even find a home to buy that actually fits our family and our needs for less than 300k right now. and we make damn good money. and it’s still feelin hopeless and impossible. what the fuck. also idk how bad it is where they’re coming from but here is NOT the shining star it once was. this is one of the worst times in my lifetime to want to move to america and live the american dream. in my opinion. it’s aaaallll out of sorts right now. i wouldn’t even know where to start and it would take me days to list off the reasons.

If we still had manual labor factories like America used to before companies used poor countries for cheap labor, we could take in a lot of immigrants and be an ultra global super power. China wouldn’t be able to compete. Too bad Chinese people are willing to work slave hours for slave payment?

If they treated our birders the way Turkey treats theirs we wouldn't have this issue!!! Electrify our fences, have armed guards mow down anything that tries to force their way ILLEGALLY into our country!!!!

Vote trump then you wouldn’t have to worry it’s funny all came at trump for putting them in the cages but didn’t know one say a word when Obama did it matter fact he built the cages during his term

This WOULDN'T be happening if Trump was in office. ??????\nThanks Biden worst President in history..

How are they all militant without any weapons in hand trying to cross the boarder ?Funny enough the people who stormed the capital in January weren’t Militant and they were ready to lynch people and carried all types of weapons. These people are desperately looking for better lives . The shouldn’t need to go in illegally but if there was transparent policy where they can go through proper process without being criminalized legally applying for asylum and locked in concentration camps waiting for verdict without right if speech or to get a lawyer a lot of people wouldn’t need to cross illegally. Not even speaking of the necropoltics in immigration laws and how the system plays on peoples emotions with these moral panics and media narratives. It’s really sad . They are better off going to Canada or Europe honestly . They might not be militants over there

There just looking for a better life completely understandable wouldn't you fight for your life for a better future and if they try to do it the right way they have to wait 3 plus years that's the real underlying issue not the people looking for a better resolution than there in ....

How can anyone not feel bad when you see those desperate faces. And those two women at the end man.. yes we have to take care of our own but we are the greatest country on earth we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Yet the GOP consider these people to be subhuman and call it an invasion. They wouldn’t last a minute in these peoples shoes and goes to show how strong they are and the bravery an determination for a better life

We wouldn't have this problem if Trump was still in office and yes we have homeless over here we have people we can't feed over here do you know how many military men and women are homeless but yet nobody's helping them and they fought for our country

Why is this a surprise? This is stew has been cookig for years. The pot was bound to boil over. If our own citizens can perpetrate an uprising against officials, why wouldn't others try it at some point? Also, if things are this rough in the US, imagine what it is like in countries with less resources?

But, if Martin Luther was living \nhe wouldn't let this be no, no\n- Micheal Jackson

All governments need to come together and sort out this mass migration issue. If leaders could take decisive action to fix their countries issues such as corruption then we wouldn't have this happening in Europe and the US.

Calm down everyone! Biden’s administration assured us that there is NO crisis at the border!\n\nThey wouldn’t lie about that!

You know what would happen if these people pulled this in North Korea? It wouldn't happen there. Some countries will shoot first and ask questions later. I'm just saying. This is ridiculous. And I support immigration if it is done legally and respectfully. But this? This needs to be gotten under control.

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

Maybe if DC wouldn't bankrupt their home countries they wouldn't have to flee to survive. \n\nWe owe them at this point. Yes, we OWE them. Look at the last 50 years of economic treatment of MX and central America. It's caused mass poverty and lack. In order to survive, many had no choice but to leave. But where do they go? Some go to Mexico, but most want to come to US for work, and why shouldn't they????\n\nIf the feds didn't loot their home countries for the giant multinationals and keep overthrowing their domestic national govts thus causing mass destabilization, they wouldn't be here. \n\nOh yeah our govt OWES THESE PEOPLE BIG-TIME. Instead of treating them like animals they should be flinging open the gates and admitting them and granting them an accelerated path to citizenship.\n\nEdit: and besides these people are coming to work they're not asking for handouts. I'm all for providing some necessary basic assistance but trust me when I say, these people just want jobs they can support their families on.

Denying people the right to not live in such horrible conditions is just wrong. What would you do if you were them? You would do anything for a better life wouldn't you? Screw the laws... history says enough about the illegal immigrants that created this country. Basic human decency says this is wrong. Let them all come here. Then they'll be nothing and America can expand. Just saying there's a lot of good that could come from expansion.

So sad...I would allow a family to stay with me but I know that my landlord wouldn't allow it. I just don't understand why we can't just open up the borders or just let a few in at a time. It's a shame that they have to leave their own country in the first place, smh. ???

Get some good old fashioned razor wire. If the wall would have been completed like We the People and Mr. Trump wanted this wouldn't be happening. Hope y'all who wanted open borders are happy.

If I was them; I would go to Canada. It’s dangerous here since Republicans only give “thoughts & prayers” instead of passing sensible gun legislation; their children would be in danger in our schools. Also; their children wouldn’t receive a very good education in many States since Republicans want to keep banning books. (Register to vote & vote Republicans out of office on Election Day.)

Let’s get one thing straight, CNN was recently bought by a conservative owner. If I remember correctly. Not to mentioned this is from mainstream media. Not as bad a faux news which is worst, but mainstream media nonetheless. I wouldn’t take this clip or YouTube short to heart.

You know if you shoot the ground and show you're serious they might stop but I'm sure the media wouldn't approve

If mexico has no gangs issues these people wouldn't need to flood into usa

Real title that US government doesn't want to tell it's citizens:\nThis is what happens if Mexico who actually holds the border wouldn't do anything about migration crossing the US borders as some politicians claim it to be claim. That one day, Mexico stopped holding the border at a single entry point after the consecutive threats of invasion from US politicians

This wouldn't be happening if Mexico didn't allow those people to cross their southern border and into their country in the first place.

Maybe we American people need to take our country back from corporate America and stop making it harder for other countries economically with sauctions… maybe we wouldn’t have this problem.

They just want a better life for themselves and their children.. their country is in shambles, people starving, can't find jobs. They need to fight for leadership change unfortunately in that country they shoot you if you try to go against the government. With everyone struggling there's not much chance of overthrowing the government so they run to other countries where they think we can provide a better life. In the past I wouldn't have had an issue with this,. but our own issues have been getting worse and worse,.

We see them here working together to enter the USA if they worked like this to demand their rights to their presidents maybe they wouldn't be in this position
