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.

America has fought HARD for centuries to achieve freedom. We’ve shed infinite amounts of blood for the rights we have. Freedom isn’t free. It takes centuries to get to that. People think it sucks to have to spend ten years becoming a legal citizen here, well count yourself lucky that you didn’t have to shed any blood, lose any family members, fight against an oppressive enemy for your rights, or lose your house in a battle for a free country. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look up American history. Count how many battles were fought; how many wars; how many people died; how many Americans became POW’s on our own land during the Civil War. Look how hard it’s been. Look how hard it is now. We never stop fighting for what we want. Freedom takes work. America isn’t some island paradise. It never has been. We all live on the same earth. We all experience hardship. And there’s no amount of money, illegal border crossing, or anything else that can keep us from that harsh reality. In life we’re going to suffer. That’s just how it is. Stop thinking that illegally crossing a border is somehow going to solve all problems. It won’t. The grass isn’t greener on the other side just because. Bloodshed makes that grass green: Sacrifice. Hard, laborious work; and centuries of time.

You all think that bad and harmful at the border. Wait till the American Citizens are confronted at shops stations and property/ homes. Once they know that all Biden promissed them they can't and want get the he lied. GOD HELP all the American Citizens, including those illegals who believed all the lies of Joe Biden and his administration. All illegals should turn around and go back where they came from. It ridiculous that they could even dream that anyone country can have or deal with such an influx and to be able to care for such vast chaotic people. ✌️

Thats right lazy Americans..your days are up. You had 100,s of years to get it together. You're being replaced.?

Who wouldn't risk it free food proper accommodation getting better treatment than American citizen and paid by the government using tax payers money wow its paradise

They are seeking asylum from Venezuela and other South American countries, but once you get to Mexico, you are away from those Countries. Illogical argument for them to come to the US in this manner.

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.

The lies that are being told to these people to make them put themselves at risk to come here is disgusting. Do you all honestly think the U.S. can handle this influx? Many, many of these people have no home to go to, no money, no assets, no idea where they are going. The democrats are using them as pawns in their political agendas. They throw them a couple of bones to make them decide to make the trip and then don't give a crap about them after. And to take the money that us Americans work hard for and pay for this is despicable. We paid 40k in taxes and special programs last year and we don't get a single word in as to where it gets spent. Our social security will be eaten up by the time we are old enough to collect it and we will probably never use disability due to a moral standard. I'd much rather keep all of our $ and then give it to whom I feel deserves it. Many of these people are not bad people, but they will use our handouts and most will not try or have the ability to get off of them. This administration is the most inhumane, America hating administration I have ever witnessed or heard of here in the U.S.

Heard Biden & Co. Have posted flyers and banners in other countries to come and get everything Free. These are the DEMOCRAT voters. They will be taking the jobs of thousands of poor Americans.

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!!

Send the water planes for fly over and dump salt water on them. My neighborhood is full. Got brand new vehicle new house free CC's I am a American senior need dentist need roof I can't get help my son killed year ago by Biden s fentanyl I am alone now\n Impeach Biden then indict him treason with his democratic demons

My sister and her five children were homeless for months and couldn’t get any help from any Wilms women shelters or programs, and never did. She finally got into the crappy apartment in the worst neighborhood, working two jobs and trying to homeschool five children.\n\nShe has literally been on a waitlist for two entire years and she is an American citizen. \n\nI have massive amounts of empathy for any of these people and countries that are run poorly or struggling., but destroying our country with complete chaos is not gonna solve either of our problems.

What Americans do not understand is that there are people in other Countries who are starving because their Countries have gone bankrupt, or their government system has collapsed in those Countries. Venezuela, Brazil, Greece, Pakistan, Argentina, Haiti, Cuba, and a whole list of more of which media is not telling the American people. America itself has put those living here at risk, for refugees to come in in drones, because the more illegals they let come into America, and allow to get their citizenship, the more individuals they have who can vote either Republican or Democrat. Why, while Trump was President, did he not finish building the wall to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants from coming in over the border, when he had the resources to complete the wall on his watch? And why is Biden and Kamala just sitting back and allowing these illegal immigrants to enter the US in herds? Because there is another election coming up soon, and they have to allow these scenes to be portrayed in order to help shape the minds of the voter here in the US. The American people need to wake up and stop fighting against each other, and work together to help vote for a Presidentsl Candidate who will actually do something to change the narrative at the Border and to help the American people here in the US first. What a mess on both watches, democrats and republicans!??

Why are you worrying about Canada and a disgruntled African chic who could easily move back to Africa chose to stay than mad about her choice or predicament meanwhile telling others African not to come. Why don’t she trade places with those that want to come. Worried about Chicago? Chicago is burning yet these justices worriers are not asking Democrat what are their plans for Chicago. Black Americans are not important. California were black are being forced to leave in the streets. Democrats policies area doing this. What don’t you get for your precious Biden help.,

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.

America should be an empire that should take over and control south American countries, then everyone woulf be at peace, get housing and jobs

Get to shooting like you do American citizens

That young woman is full of doo-doo and is just seeking attention. Edmonton received more than 1000 Blacks Americans in the early 1900's who fled from the evil of Jim Crow in the American south. The obstacles you now face are nothing compared to what previous generations faced. I advise you to know what you want and go get it. Stop making excuses

Instead of the Biden administration sending endless billions of dollars to other countries to feed their dirty business deals, maybe we could send that money to other countries as TRUE foreign aid to help them build up their own water supply, food, medical and housing. We have our own American citizens homeless and starving here and they should get help BEFORE ILLEGALS. Especially our Veterans who are ignored and treated like shit. This is all out of the pockets of taxpayers who can't get a break and now millions of illegals are pushing their way into the United States and demanding what they aren't entitled to. Cartels, human trafficking, dope, people from all over the world who are in a lot of cases, from countries with really no laws. Who are they? What sort of background do they have? What are their intentions? I'm not saying that they are all bad people, but we don't know anything about them. No vetting and of course, they will be granted amnesty and will vote. Not that our elections matter anyway. They aren't going to abide by our laws, obviously. Then what diseases are these people bringing here? Then guess what? The WHO gets to decide what is a public health emergency and throw down more restrictions and demands for more vAxXinEs. This is an invasion. They aren't here legally regardless of EOs. Any law that goes against our Constitution is null and void.

Guys African American buy land in Africa and build hospitals here whenever you are sick just take a flight ✈️ to hospital you built in Africa to get proper healthcare. Bring well qualified doctors that you can still pay with dollars if you think the currency is a problem.

Close the F****** border already!! Quit allowing this to go on in our country. Take care of us Americans FIRST. Put MORE SOLDIERS to get control and use STRONG FORCE TOO..

As a black man in Canada, I would never trade places with American blacks.\nCanada has nothing on America when it comes to discrimination against black people.\nPhillip you need to talk with some black Canadians to get the real picture.

A lot of these people are fleeing war torn countries and gang violence. With their experiences to fight they come here and form gangs t supposedly defend themselves and commit murders, but since they entered illegally they are not in the American system so they get away with all crimes because they technically dont exist. Thus ruining this country more

Imagine if this many Americans tried to rush another country's border depending on what country we would potentially get gunned down and it would be seen as invading a country and possibly an act of war depending on if it was this many Americans entering like this. Or would they put us in shelters and feed us?

We need Texas National Guard at the border crossings barricades Bobwire everything to stop the stupidity that the Democrats are causing just like everything that they have done. They don’t give a damn American people wake up how much more money how much more time how much more killings wake up America cast your vote get these people out of office.

Y’all r dumb, you say “let’s help the homeless in the US first” but really most homeless people here are LAZY, or drug addicts who don’t want to be helped. You say “let’s give jobs to the homeless in the US instead of immigrants” but who’s actually putting in that work and taking jobs? The Mexicans. I don’t see no American homeless people posted outside Home Depot lookin for a job.\n\nYes, there are many homeless people who have injuries or who need help getting access to jobs - it’s important we help them still but those who are willing to work hard and push will reap harvest just how it is. If you had kids, born and raised in Mexico would you stay? I wouldn’t.

Im mexican and Im sick of immigrants. Our country doesn't have the resources to take them in, and a lot of them just cause harm to our people, robbing and even hurting them, like the guy that hit a kid with a brick in the head ? not to mention, they are ungreteful af, they complain that they get beans to eat. I totally get why americans don't want them there

To the people in the comment section PLEASE read my statement Canada has mass racism. There is a massive Native American population here and they BOTH hate each other, Canadians actively encourage each other to hate Natives and the tension gets worse the more north Canada you go. DO NOT BE FOOLED CANADA WAS BUILT ON RACISM

Americans getting ready to defend their country in the streets?

Wow, spokesperson wonders why this is happening -- c'mon you stupid b*tch, think about who's in charge of our country. This is being done intentionally by our current administration. People always think US is the place to be, maybe for immigrants doing it legally. I live in Florida and there are American mothers and fathers raising their kids in tents in the woods here because they can't afford to buy or rent a home, despite both of them working full time. Yet, these anarchists are coming in and getting benefits asap -- homes, food stamps, medical care etc.... Damn shame what our country has turned into. Lastly, it's a shame because there are so many immigrants here trying to do the right thing.

And they will get free everything. Meanwhile, the real Americans are breaking our backs to pay for the shit

I'm a manager of a family from Nicaragua, and they work harder than a lot of my American crew members. Central American people are some of the hardest workers and just want to work and raise their families in a safe, wholesome environment.\nI love the men and women I train. They want to learn more of the safety procedures and how to do things by policy, instead of cheating, they work hard and very fast, they learn English very fast and they love to teach me Español. They're some of my favorite workers and favorite people in general in my workplace. I'm working on getting a couple of them promoted to management with me.

Sad our idiotic president keeps making bad choices. I live 7 mins away from the yarbrough entry and its scary. Gets me mad Americans are struggling bad and our own president isn't helping us but others. For those who voted thinking this is okay its not, they are rude, entitled, and trashing up our city bad. This isnt fair for those who did things right to be here this is pathetic.

They need to pass an amendment that they get no welfare, free housing, or medical insurance. They’re not entitled to enter or receive anything from Americans and they’ll pass 7&8 countries when they’re supposed to go to the first country they come to. People should come in legally not just think they can invade illegally. There’s no way they can vet all these people and this president is endangering Americans. Also we don’t want America looking like a slum.

The strange part concerning the whole situation is they get housing,health insurance,grants for education etc when the American people get kicked in the ass.

We’re one of the only countries where people feel bold enough to try this shit. Makes you wonder what they’re being told back home. “The Americans are so soft, you can practically just walk in and get benefits”

The biggest problem is Americans TV shows and politicians only show the fake side of America ( everyone live in a big house) and promote to the world that if you come to America, you will be rich.\nThe government needs to help American people first, before get involved other countries business and pretend to be the big brother, keep sending the money we can’t afford.

Oh wow I thought this was some kind of music festival or sports game cuz I saw a Raiders jacket lmaooooo they acting way too wild. Why they repping for one MY TEAM two an American team like you ain’t even American. Why other countries do that wear each others clothing. It’s weird. We don’t play over there never have never will. I notice people will use Raiders especially as a gimmick and I don’t like that. I have that shit tatted on me and named my daughter Oakland and my other daughter middle name California so I’m true to this. The real deal. ANYHOW they arguing yelling with them and digging into the barbed wire they’re going to get hurt. It’s bloody. Who’s going to stitch them up??

These people will get treated better than any homeless American and it’s all for votes. Think about that.

Americans deserve that. They destroyed a lot of countries now they the US is getting invaded. Well deserved

We had a President that was against this, that wanted a wall. Now, we’re giving free housing, food, phones, healthcare, paid job training and even higher education, and the list goes on! I’m not sharing my opinion on social; however, I am stating a fact. I’m not going to comment on what I think would happen if just one or two families left this group and went down the road a few miles and found another way in. I’m not saying that’s right, but say it’s what happened… they’d get the above. I also see many comments here saying these people should fight for their country and try to make it right… well, I don’t see Americans standing up to our government and doing what is right. Look at what is happening to our own country right now! We are about to have no religious freedoms, and no democracy anymore, all because we aren’t using our own voice. One world government and one world religion. That’s what we’re headed for. Oh, and a cashless society, all while we are being monitored the entire time. I hope this is what you want. Personally, I won’t be here. Maranatha! ?️???

Free healthcare free food free shelter free services by the \nthousands everyday. Then they get here and discriminate against black Americans whos enslaved ancestors built this country and fought for civil rights that they benefit from. The hypocrisy is crazy?

I live in the border and I see Venezuelan people everyday walking in the streets, with no house, or a car, just walking with old clothes and shoes. They want to get out of poverty and get a job and they are desperate. And me too.\n\nI’m a Mexican who has the American Dream too but I will cross the border in a legal way. Not like that. And my mother has a shop where the majority of our customers are from Venezuela and Haiti

I really feel for these people AND all Americans who are doing it so ‘heroically’ tough. The cost of petrol, food, medical expenses, housing and the list goes on. The wages ‘if you can get a decent paying job’ have not gone up enough to cover the cost of living. It’s getting the same in Australia but not with these scenes of forced entry. God bless America ?? + ?????

Our founding fathers would be so ashamed. America has gone to sh&@.\n\nWhere’s are leaders when this is occurring president Joe Biden is the worse. This has been going on for far to long. \n\n\nThey come over here steal all of Americans jobs, all of the government funded resources, they have more children then any other race in America to get government assistance. Every business you call you have to press one for English.

Hahaha now Americans can feel how it felt with a bunch of European foreigners flooded our land lol good for them hope they all get in

We\nNeed all the body’s we can get , NORTH AMERICAN ALLIANCE. Open borders…… because we are heading to the last war Man will ever fight .

see this is why hardworking legal immigrants who try to live the american dream get a bad rap...because of these guys....

We need to step it up. Unmanned drones, land mines. American border security should be synonymous to fot knox. To my knowledge not many people have died trying to get in there illegally, because no one is stupid enough to try

americans spread poorness in world now they are getting a respond for their action
