wHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WORK? MORE TAXPAYER FUNDED SOCIALISM ,What about our own citizens living on the streets ? this is not helping homelessness , over 8 million illegals now in our country and our taxes keep getting higher and higher! This is no longer the America i once new and loved ...More Americans will needlessly die by the hands off some of these killers1

America wants to only take over certain places take over Mexico and unalive the bad people so the people there will have a chance there not here

Let’s not forget that the Whole of North America is made up of immigrants,all the people there are immigrants be it white or whatever… thus immigrant is a very relative term..

The foreigners want to blame America for not letting them in. How about blaming your country for such difficult situations that you feel the need to leave your country? And for everyone (legal or undocumented) who thinks we should open our borders to everyone immediately, you should sign up to house and feed these people. And don’t ask if they committed any crimes because you don’t feel they are important. And for all the people who come here with no invite but the others have to wait in line, you should be required to do community work for free to pay back the kindness and not be given any assistance or tax credit at the end of the year. But you should be allowed healthcare access like everyone else. The first child can be American but none after that.

What I find funny, strange not haha, is all these people saying let's fix the homeless problem in America first have absolutely no interest in helping the homeless in America. Euro Americans are just inhuman

How can America keep taking them in, it cost so much money to house them.Many Americans need help and are homeless. Veterans are homeless, and many people in poor areas need job's, food etc. I want to see everyone get help, but America must help their own first.

I hate when those people come cross the border. Because the minute they settle in America good they get racist and prey on our blacks that live here

Yeah idk about you but your basically saying we gotta care about 1% of the population while you screw over the rest America is going through cass warfare attacks on wages and treated like nothing by your employer is common place let's take care of our people and when there not worrying about there next bill and meal I'll be fine with dealing with that 1% but even then like you said there making over 100k so even then you have to make a good argument for a rich person being a victim

Where is their country? They need to bring people out to hold them back m. America is Full let us deal with our problems first

I do feel sry for those people, but theres few things we need to address.. if they get here.. how they are going to survive if we hardly have jobs for us..\nThey forgit that america is not longer a place of freedom, our leaders had 5urn us into democracy, iron walls.took our freedom of speach, teach our kids they are praying nouns n to disrespec their parents if they tell them something else, where christians are becoming the enemy and evil the friends.. the president is a child molester n his wife has to shutup, our unborn child is already mark with a death sentence, America is NOT longer the land of the freedom, and the braves.. America. Is worse than their own country, to die here i should die were i was born, sadly im american n see my country gong down hurts… people u are no one here just like we are.. \nwe work all out lives, n when we need help is denied, but imigrants not even an id to proced who they are are been gupiven, housing, food, medical and money, im disable working for america, n i cant even get food stamps cuz i was granted ne (1) lousy dollar ne time n the food stamps said i made enought dont need food stamps, but my neighbors is an imigrant, her husband work, they even pay for her house, n me i was told no help cuz im not old enough.. what u mean.. i dont say anything about my friend cuz shes my friend but we can keep housing those that never put a penny into our land. Why they get benefits n we dont? Again i feel sry for them i really do, but what about us..the real citizens of United States of Anmerica..??? The real Americans.. we work, we paid, n we die.. they dont do a thing n yet they get more than me..i only applied for food but she said u did a dollar extra this mo, we closin* your case.. but ne time food n one time that dollar..

I don't know why so many people want to emigrate to america. Study, make input to american economy for years and still be treated like garbage. Why?

These people need to know we can't take care if the World. They need to make their OWN government take care of them,, when did they become America's responsibility??\n\nGet more troops on the Birder and turn them around\n\nThis is wsy out of hand, and it's getting worst.\nWhy do they feel we are obligated to them??\nAmerica already has thousands of homeless people on the streets, and families and individuals are being EVICTED daily and our Government should be using OUR America tax dollars to help them, NOT THESE PEOPLE. LET THEIR GOVERNMENT TAKE CARE OF THEM\n\nAnd ALL of these people are NOT running from crime in their country, it's just a LIE that's been over used\nThey're coming here fir FREE living expenses, FRRE education, Our jobs,, FREE food, FREE housing etc at our expense as if WE OWE THEM

America has plenty of room for all the people who are trying to enter this country. Most of this land is land banked by the wealthy. Those of you who have bought into the bullshit of the wealthy and the elite think there’s not enough housing, in fact there’s more than enough housing. Most of the housing that you don’t think it’s available is boarded up, or underutilized . Finally, please note that the individuals trying to enter the country from the southern border are the descendants of the original habits of turtle Island, .Clearly, we all understand that the thief always has better security than the person they stole from.

These people need to lead a mass against their own country's leaders and remove them at any cost. AMERICA NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF ITS DISABLED AND THOSE WHO ARE ILL. HOMELESSNESS IN AMERICA IS DISGUSTING AND ALL THESE RICH BILLIONAIRES CAN SOLVE THIS IN ONE SWOOP BUT THEY DONT CARE.

Why do I feel Biden is to blame. On the surface. But you know who is really to blame, Castro. Castro communism has destroyed and destabilized all of America beginning in 1959. Castros mission to destroy America is succeeding to a certain extent. The criminal totalitarian dictatorship of the Castro mafia created a Nazi like genocide in the island of Cuba creating hunger, misery, diseases. The Cuban regime has also had control and influence in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Mexico. It doesn’t take rocket science to see that Castro was the beginning. He is laughing in his rock grave. Get rid of communist dictatorship in Latin America and resolve this problem because these people don’t want to leave their countries, but they need, democracy, freedom, justice, human rights etc… I think we have to vote republican from now on. This disaster is democratic.

I am Venezuela legally here in America. I get the desesperation of my people but this is ridiculously stupid and entitled. What do they think? That they will enter by force? That they will intimidate the Government? I don't get it

I wish the U. S. and other countries would help Central and S. America get their shit together, send them weapons and soldiers to fight the cartels. From what I understand that is why people are immigrating here

America should be proud that these people desire to go to America to be free and to flee from Police corruption and political corruption. So many people post hateful comments against the Americans, but these same people know that there is nobody attempting to get into their country, instead they are attempting to leave. Regardless of the negative views about immigration, immigrants are a valuable investment to any country. The Irish that sought refuge from the misery and hunger from the Irish famine were treated like shit when they arrived in America after they sailed to America on the famine ships. But history proves that they were a great investment to America. So many became successful business people, they became second generation President to the USA like Andrew Jackson, Grover Cleveland, J. F Kennedy, R Regan, etc, and not to forget many Irish in Law enforcement, and the military. So stop thinking that these people are taxing your resources, they may do short term just to help them settle in, but in the long term they are asset's. These people will get employment, pay taxes, start businesses, employ people etc. Think of the glass half full and not half empty. Stop hating on these immigrants as you did with the Irish and welcome them, give them a chance, and be proud that they want to come and live in America to get away from their shitty country and try build a future for their children. What parent wouldn't want to do that for their children ? Jesus said'' Love one another as I have loved you ''

People need to understand that America and Western allies directly caused the situation through tampering of foreign countries through military and economic intervention. These people are not the ones to direct your anger towards, the people in power are

I'm not saying all but most of these people also terrorize American people and American children. The lot of them once they've reached success here in America, start bragging about how cheaper it was in there country to live and all the so call good memories and start throwing dirt on American nationality. I've had a friend member get beating by a gange of them because one of there sisters liked him. They will give you a smile to your face or a sad face for one to feel them but when you turn your back there's a totally different expression. Don't be a victim to there fake ways or you will be doomed to there will.

America doesn’t mine sticking it’s nose to far away countries. Why don’t we stick out nose into Mexico and help those people so they want to stay in their own country. live in fear everyday. Maybe it’s because the drugs that come out Mexico is also lining some of our own Governments pockets. If something bad happens for us to run to another country to safe harbor I hope Mexico tells us to kick rocks. Look how we treat other people. We all need the same things in life to live. We all as humans need compassion and understanding. We all have to have air to breathe. We have to have food and water to live. We get cut we all bleed red. So how are we any different as a human to humans anywhere else. We all have problems and sometimes we all need help to get out of a hole that we are in.

Idk what they're thinking, considering, we just had a huge problem the last time they did that??????? Our government is having so many issues providing housing and other necessities that people need. Also it's so many veterans, let alone U.S. citizens that are homeless and now us as tax payers have to worry about our money going into immigration funds to feed, cloth and house them, smh. Just because America is more peaceful than Venezuela doesn't mean that America has figured everything out for them. Thats selfish when America has its own issues.

Isn’t ironic that this keeps happening when election time starts to get close!? A coincidence? Nah.. they know exactly what they’re doing and if people can’t open their eyes n see! Than there is no hope for america

It's bcuz the Venezuelens have no culture or respect... They came here to Chile & committed sooo many crimes & terrible crimes like abduction, drugs & murders do to their people.... So now I see them flocking to America & I knew it wasn't going to be easy to get in like here...... They are a plague (not all but 90% of them).... They don't like to work bcuz everything was given to them free there & when that changed there they migrated to other countries with that intention in not work & want it easy

America can't take care of the people who was born an raised here, why keep allowing this to happen here ? They should fight like this in the countries they come from. I'm not prejudice but these people are so disrespectful to black Americans it's crazy.

They letting there on people patrol the border so you know there letting their own people get over here illegal Smdh this shit is beyond sad.. IT'S ENOUGH HOMELESS PEOPLE IN AMERICA AS IT IS YOU CAN'T GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND DO THIS..

I hate this so much. I know it’s not these peoples fault that their countries aren’t helping them but America isn’t even helping its own people. Imagine how it feels to be from the US struggling and then these people come and somehow our country has the means to help them when they won’t not can’t won’t help their own. What other country do you know of where you can just decide to cross their boarder demand help and say you know what I’m just going to live here illegally now. And if we don’t help them they have all kinds of ways to sue the state and demand help even though they’re not even citizens. That’s what’s crazy to me. They make you do a bunch of stuff before you can travel and some countries won’t even let you visit let alone live there with or without a criminal record but these people can just walk right in. Any countries borders are important they are there for protection. Ours are not being protected which means the country is not protected. I just don’t see this turning out well for anybody, not them not us. There is a scene from the titanic that I’d like to relate this situation to. The scene where Roses mom is in the boat with that other lady who has new money the chubby one. She wanted to let people on the boat that were drowning around her, and dude wouldn’t let her. It wasn’t because he was being mean it was because if people started holding onto the boat and trying to get on the boat they would panic, and eventually everybody would swarm the boat. The boat would not have been able to hold the weight of everyone holding onto it. Well the same here there’s people who are already drowning, and other people from other countries want to come here, but all they’re gonna do is sink the ship, and then there will be no help for anybody and everyone will be doomed. No I have nothing against people coming here but not this way. I welcome anybody that wants to be here to work but not this way. America has its our own problems and the citizens pay taxes that are never used to help them. Instead the government gives money away to other countries like it’s nothing. I don’t mind helping anyone anywhere but when the money we pay the government doesn’t go to help it’s own citizens first idk that’s not right to me. We should be helping our own people first. Anyway this isn’t the right way to come I to America. This isn’t fair to the rest of us. We pick up the bill not the government. Help your own citizens America we need help too!!!!!!!

America sucks, face it people we HAVE FAILED OUR FOUNDING FATHERS

Which Catholic Billionaires are paying these people from Central America to come to the border. The same ones who bribe Supreme Court justices. Perhaps

South america needs to be fixed. People woulnt want to come to the USA if their wasnt so currupted

They wanna come here so they can also dirty America because you have to actually work hard in Mexico. This is what happens when you allow dumb shtty cartel bozos who deserve to rot in hell and bad people as well ?

I'm sorry but I'll be pissed off if they let these people in. Fix your own people America is falling apart!

America is a lovely country who wouldn't want to live there, I not supporting those people behavior still it rough to live in third world country

The sad fact is they think America is great and they want to come over, yeah the men come and work but the women stay home and get on food stamps. We can't even take care of our people

Black folks PLEASE get your passports because when it finally goes down in America ?? with this fuckery with these illegals we should be long gone back to our roots with our families!!!Biden is dead wrong for this.He caused all of this confusion and my question is WHERE IS HE NOW???This is horrible the way they set these people up to believe that they would have a great life here..

What the hell, America is not everyone else's problem fixer, a lot of this people think you hit a tree and pick up dollars, also a lot of this ppl are offering to buy you groceries with the food stamp card they are getting to get cash

That's really sad to see those people crying because they want to come into america. ❤❤

Whats wrong with their country why do you need to flee most of them are going to bring their problems to the US insteading fixing their own country. I love how the Left always complains about America but people try so hard to get there the westerners must be doing something right to have a semi functional country with less curroption.

TRAVELLED THERE BUT MOVING THERE ? NEVER ! Oh by the way, stop calling your country AMERICA. The Americas are continents of which there are 2: NORTH America and South America. Your country has no name per say ,,,'The United States', Yeah we all can see how ''united'' you guys are nowadays. Actually only a few of the New England states are inhabited by more sensible people, a majority being descendanta of Acadians and French Canadians.- I rest my case !

WTF???? Stop these people. I am so sorry that you can't come here, but we cannot afford to feed you or house you or give you medical care. I know it sucks, but I shouldn't have to deal with that. If you want asylum, you should do it the right way or you should be arrested and returned home. Others fight like hell to become citizens and you think it is your right to just force your way across the border? You are not entitled to a place in America simply because you want to be here.

Yes, it could happen. We are a multi racial black/brown/Euro decent family in Canada. There are giant pot holes in the Canadian health care system for us as we are often not believed or assumed to be drunks or drug-heads. We know similar families who HAD to take work in America (with benefits) FOR the health care, the doctors were less likely to gatekeeper care when it was paid for. Also those who moved to New Jersey, Missouri, Wisconsin found much more racially inclusive communities (seemingly largely due to just a bigger population of different people so no one really sticks out)

People think America sucks so much, why don't you go live where these people are fleeing from? No? I thought not.

I'm Sorry to say in America We Are to free to let everyone over here especially the Mexican We All have Problem in our Country We faced Adversity hardships trial and tribulation Stay in your Country and face Y'all Situation Do many of you can't comes over here and get what we need to get Jobs,Cars and So much more y'all are taking from American People Sorry to say it true STAY IN MEXICO WE ALL HAVE PROBLEM FACE YOUR WE WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOUR COUNTRY TO BR RESTORED JESUS LOVES YOU AND DO DO WE ST.JOHN -3-16

I vacationed in the US often in the 70s and 80s. The scenery in the west is wonderful, New York and Washington DC are very dynamic and people are generally friendly. BUT things turned very nasty after 9/11. The bogus war in Iraq and the 20 year stay in Afghanistan changed everything. The MAGA crowd of haters, gun crazies, religious fanatics and the politicians who cater to them have made the country intolerable. Any advantages America may have are vastly outweighted by the negatives that are part of everyday life. Every school child has regular shooter on the loose drills routinely. Gun-toting losers may feel a thrill from carrying a gun but I don't like the sight of them.\n\nAmericans are like frogs in a sauce pan of water that is being brought to a boil. They just do not realize how bad the US has become.........

I thought America was a shit country why are people fighting to get in

Well, i'm Canadian, (Montreal / Quebec) but am also a transsexual woman, and for the LGBTQ community, practicly all of the States are in the red flag. I can't go in florida, or Texas, or a lot of the States, because my life will be in danger... Well, California is open, New York +/-, and a few States, but you have laws to break us, if we are not into your religious team, we are in danger, even if we are, i'm a transsexual woman, i am in danger, and with Trump, we are more in danger in the States... The United States of America is dangerous, everyone has a f...k gun in there pockets and are ready to use it, and effectivly, the health condition, well, it's bad, how many people can't pay for health care, a lot, and they died... It's not just that, it's also the mentality of the Americans, you thing everything it's yours, the world is yours, but it's not true, we are only passager on this planet... And the American dream, can i laugh, it's a nightmare, be rich or die, wow... I'm not rich and i prefer to stay in the Quebec province, it's the worst place for the tax in the world, we pay a lot of them, but, it is so much more open.

It's amazing how many people want to come to America. Can only imagine what they're experiencing to risk so much... To be safe

America is such a racist and oppressive country these people will storm the border by droves through barb wire, tear gas, and guns pointed at them.

You also could include that you can get Canadian citizenship within 5 years which makes moving to America on a TN visa extremely easy. Makes much more sense for people from large countries who can wait decades for a green card.

Yes, of course, although Canadian views can be true sometimes. Yet, we cannot defend our own Country as you can. That alone makes us ' nice'. We have to be.\nDo you see realness vs manipulation here, even for/against ourselves?\n Not to mention a new thing I've learned through an American. Homeownership & land rights. We have something called mineral rights. Ownership of land under homes is unknown sometimes I am sure. No wonder the government can just get rid of people (paying something of course) off their land.\nIf we considered North America as a whole, America would be the male of the 2 countries. Kinda weird but a vague thought. \nWith all the immigration I am beginning to feel like a stranger in my own country. Dealing with it but, they are not the only ones feeling stress. \n\nIt's hard for anyone to move though when family is important to you.\nBlessings
