The reason everyone wants to come to America is look how much money we throw away through the welfare and Medicaid systems alone to perfectly healthy people they don't even do welfare checks to see if they're getting our government is ignorant as the money they throw away through hard-earned tax payers dollars is ridiculous anybody could scan this government out of money it's not hard to get help in this country there's help everywhere you just got to know where to look for it here

What People dont know is that when there is a labor shortage in a country like USA, The government is under pressure from big business to relax the borders, as they will have unskilled labor to do the work that the Locals do not want to do.

Trump is the only one that wanted to fix this. We are losing our country and they don’t want us to know. We have been sold out Americans

IF WE STOP THE GOVERNMENT COPONS, RENT,HOSPITAL, SCHOOL FREE FOR PREGNANT AND “single moms” and “poor people “ there’s can stop me as a Latino know what they want… they want everything free.

They want them benefits. Meanwhile, they are trying to lower veterans disability. America has its own problems. Don't know more.

Hahaha If they only knew how bad it really is here in Canada. They might not want to come here anymore. Wonder if they know that there going to turn your boys into girls into boys.

Facts they want you to make 3 to 4 times the rent then they are asking for the same thing the bank is asking for to get a home loan. And even if you have the income then you need to meet the credit criteria. It’s fucking ridiculous especially in California with their crappy homes and home owners or I should say slum lords plus there is nothing that protects the citizens from getting cheated but all these laws and barriers to protect home owners and property management companies. We gave away too much power to the industrial corporations and government or I should say our forefathers did. I know I didn’t give up nothing I was born into this crap

We have the same problem not with mexicans, but we have so many people that live on the streets any are English, I wish the Government would get their shit together, there are so many large homes that are empty and shops, I'm sure if they gave homeless paint and materials to fix the properties that they would be happy to make properties liveable, it's not just 10 or 20 i have seen 48 in the past month and must be in every area, I feel so sorry for these people they just want a better life, there's 10000s that come into our country illegally, probably because they tried many times to come here but refused,I wish I had the answer, I also wish I could post what I know to be true, but I can't,?

Mexico has so much beautiful land, are they not opening their arms to Venezuelans?? I genuinely want to know who keeps selling the American dream.

What are they gonna do if they do get to the US? They can’t get a job, they can’t rent an apartment or buy a house let alone a car. And what are we just gonna give them free housing and food? Know how many people in this country are struggling as it is. This is my thought..The people that want these illegal migrants to enter the country so bad, should bring them into their own homes, let them sleep in their beds, eat their food, and use all their shit.

Know what's sad is that we help everybody and no one helps us, MY SON HAS A 6 MONTH OLD AND BECAUSE OF THESE PPL AND I THINKING THAT THEY DESERVE TO COME HERE AND BE TAKEN COMPLETELY CARE OF IS NOT ONLY ABSURDITY IT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR HANDS... I HAVE A GOOD JOB THANK GOD, I WORK IN A PLANT I WORK MY ASS? LITERALLY OFF FOR MY SON NOT TO BE ABLE TO FIND FORMULA FOR HIS BABY??? I CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE DOLLAR STORE ANYMORE AND FIND MILK BECAUSE THEY GET IT FOR FREE HERE IN ALABAMA, THEY DO EVERYTHING FOR FREE WHILE US AMERICANS PAY FOR ALL OF IT AND NONE OF YOU WANT TO SAY IT BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE TOO SCARED TO AND I THINK THAT SAD AND COWARDLY WITHIN ITSELF

I know it sucks to see this, but what do you do when you want things to be legal and rightfully so. This is just what taking steps to maintain a hectic situation looks like. Nobody is being mean here.

You know what, I’m an immigrant too. I came to America in 1988 from a communist country to have a better life and have religious freedom. But it took us more than 5 years, if not more, to get approved and jump every hurdle, every flaming hoop, and else they asked us to do, BUT, WE DID IT! Why do people think it’s ok to be able to come here illegally when others have to Jump through hoops to get here? And the stupid fucks who think they should be allowed to do that shit, should be made to put em up in THEIR HOMES AND NOT ON THE TAXPAYERS DOLLAR! Period point blank!!!! A country without rules will fall into anarchy. So many people do shit the right way, why do others think it’s ok to say fuck it and became a burden on the economy? Everywhere around the world, there are borders in place, and they’re there for a reason, to keep order, and to prevent illegal entry. Nobody’s saying not to come here, or that you’re not welcome or wanted here. But you have to do it the right way. Millions of people had to do it like that, by the books, the right way, you don’t get a free pass to come here illegally cause it’s hard, or it takes a long time. You’re not the first person to go through this hardship.

Why do they want to come over here? Don’t they know we’re on a verge of collapsing because of Biden and his voters stupidity.

It's because the democRats don't want Venezuelans moving in and voting Republican because they know damn well what the democRats are trying to do.

The cartels are knowingly spreading false information on social media saying Biden is letting everyone through. \n It's sad that many who are claiming asylum, when that's not what is actually needed. They want our way of life, which I can't fault them for, but we can't just let everyone in and give them more than Americans get themselves. \nWe seem to be the only country who is hated for not letting anyone through. Both arms of my family did it legally, they have to as well. Yes, it's hard now, but we aren't in a position to do this.

Why are we seeing this right now??? Did she really just ask that question, you all know damn well why we are seeing this right now, this is what you wanted remember.??‍♂️??‍♂️??

Tables turns, how would they feel if we were to intrude this way in their country?? ????? \nI don’t think they would appreciate, allow and will intervene if necessary to prevent this situation from occurring. \nHowever they feel that the government should take them into consideration when trying to get a visa and becoming citizens.\nThis is exactly what you don’t do, goes to show how much they REALLY want to be in our country. If they only knew they’d be busting their behinds a lot lot more due to their immigration status and way less pay plus the list of benefits of being harassed, abused ext. ????\nThe imigrants not knowing the real truth of our country ????\nGets me every time ??☺️

Well I have heard rumors that the Citizens of Mexico have had enough of the cartels. Now this is coming from a source I’m not to trustworthy but it’s safe to know than not knowing. So I have heard that the people have been warned that starting today there where going to be groups a so called vigilantes going round warning store owners or anyone who owns business to close down their business at a curfew date. For if the see them open they will get lifted (kidnapped) and killed. Supposedly that the cartels want to start charging the elderly for their monthly pension funds (their way of social security benefits) also they want to start charging a fee for almost everything to the people. So maybe that’s why they are trying to escape the war that’s bout to happens with the mass vigilantes and the cartels they a war bout to start.

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

As a teen right now that has immigrant parents all I can say this is not what I expected from immigrants I know that they want freedom and a better life but this not what they should’ve done to get into America yes I know they struggle but you just can’t force yourself into getting what you want this is just wrong but I do wish the best for these people to be able to hopefully achieve a better future for themselves

This is nothing short of an INVASION AT OUR BORDERS!! I can guarantee you that if we had responsible voting laws in this country just as simple as having an ID and proving American Citizenship, we wouldn’t be having this problem. Democrats don’t want those laws, and Democrats DONT WANT TO STOP what’s going on at the border, bcuz these are votes for them. The most utterly ridiculous myth about voter ID laws is that they’re racist due to low income families not being able to afford them. ANYONE with common sense knows that BULL$Hit, bcuz literally every state in the US has programs that’ll provide FREE IDs and help to get there. It’s time to stop blaming the government, and start blaming those that are the cause of this, the VOTERS that put the POSs in office. The Fentanyl epidemic and the blood of those that have lost their lives, is on the hands of the same VOTERS. Time to focus and rally against the ones that are the REAL reason for all of this. In fact, let the numbers tell you what changed. Look at the #s before 1/21 and now. People may lie, but the numbers never do!

CNN doesn't know why this is happening? Just wait for Title 42 to end. You think we have a problem now? Apparently 81 million wanted a better life for the rest of the world, while enslaving their own kids to take care of the rest of the world. Way to go

Illegal immigrants are the worst! Take care of yourselves and your own country and citizens wether you're from Mexico, to Central or South America regardless the USA doesn't owe you anything whatsoever! They're only doing it, because they know they'll get away with it knowing that Biden's administration welcomes these bastards to do it and get away with it! The Biden administration wants literally wants chaos here in the USA! The Biden administration literally wants the USA citizens to be attacked and for them to have a real war against them for their crooked Government side! They're LYING if they tell you anything else! Any real good true American President wouldn't allow such despicable trash to even so much as to getting close to a breach in the USA borders anywhere! You try to cross with the old School Presidents, you'd be in your casket for absolute certain ?????

But you don't realize that the human race is not worth saving any more. All we want to do now is eliminate you you are lost for evil greedy and you never want to help yourselves. You always want to take and be given everything. But you cannot even be a decent person in this world. You see how bad it is yet you continue to have children. You know what causes it yet your monkey mentality won't let you go further and stop the nonsense. This is your fault

I'm homeless, Navy Veteran and work full time. If housing programs can't help homeless Americans, how can we help immigrants. I want a home too. Update: I'll elaborate more on my situation. I served for four years. I lost my job as an Uber driver in 2018 after my car got repossessed. I live with my fiance who has PTSD from her family upbringing. She tries to work but she doesn't last long. We have gone to 3 different housing programs and they prove to be unhelpful. You make too much money from working they can't help you, if you make too little money they can't help you. WTF!!! All housing that is offered is usually in areas that are in high theft and homeless areas. People steal from you and you up right back in the streets. One program helped me become a fully trained security guard. We have also been in two car accidents, none were our fault. But now I'm stuck just living in a car and working full time. After I work all night I drive around at gas stations, asking people for money for gas and food. Every check I get goes to gas, food and bills. We manage our money wisely. Our money last a day and then we have to go straight back to asking for money again. Everyone I have asked for help is always a broken promise. I don't know what to do anymore.

Wait didn't you guys at CNN&MSNBC always said the borders are secured? Why would these people want to come to America? Don't they know, in accordance to CNN&MSNBC we are a racist country?

Nobody knows the truth about the US so they all want to come here smh

This kind of stuff is exactly why we need to finish the border wall and let Border Patrol Police do their jobs!! All these politicians with their crap that these people are “asylum seekers” when they know damn well it’s the cartels and drug dealers forcing women and/or children to claim they’re a family and want in the US. Meanwhile the woman has a couple bricks of heroin, or fentanyl, or meth and God only knows what else up in her vagina and there’s bricks n whatnot in the babies diapers and/or under the lining of a car seat, etc!! Imagine you live in Texas and this giant group comes running into your neighborhood, you will be scared, I have no doubt!!

To all the people in the comments upset with poor, desperate, people with no power instead of the American government that has undoubtedly destabilized these countries to the point where their citizens are fleeing to other countries…know that you are angry with the wrong people!\n\nThese people just want better lives for their families! That should cause everyone to question why they want to leave? Is there something we can do to support change in their countries so they don’t want to leave? Can we advocate for that in our politics? Is there something we can do to make housing more affordable? There isn’t a housing shortage, we have 600,000 homeless with millions of vacant homes! Can we advocate for the rights of people over giant real estate companies like Blackstone gobbling up houses and apartments, making them unaffordable before we scream that there aren’t houses for these people?!\n\nThe complete lack of effort around finding a solution is mind blowing to me! Everyone just resorts to basically saying they should all be kicked out!! Why can’t we find a solution? I just don’t get why this is such a controversial issue! Kicking them out or criminalizing them is just sweeping the issue under the rug. It doesn’t solve the problem, meaning after a while they will come back and we will be right back where we started. \n\nI guess I just feel like there should be a little more compassion and problem solving when talking about immigration!

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.

Lmao people try so hard to get into the USA illegally… and now people want to get out. That’s how you know things are getting bad here ?

I believe that our leaders want immigrants to pour into this country because they plan on switching places with them. Maybe they know something nobody else knows. Like if that volcano goes off the United States is gone but if you're in the southern continents you will survive with massive amounts of resources

You guys know we pay for aid for Ukraine , billions for a war that has nothing to do with us. We accept Ukrainian migrants, they get free hosing. Meanwhile we're complaining about our neighbors that want to come to America to work

as Trump hater know i understand why he want to close the border so bad?

Hearing the stories on here about the legal process taking upwards of 15 years...I don't know if that is typical, but the fact is that the US already takes in more than 50% of the world's immigrants, and that's the legal, documented ones. We have to send a message that illegal immigration is not tolerated. You can't just expect to come here whenever and however you want because of poor conditions in your country. We...Can't...Take...Them...All.

They don't want vennys in for one reason. They know what socialism is and democrate know that don't have there vote cuz of it.

I know there are worse places than the US but , baby trust me our country is a mess right now! You sure you want to come in?

Them want to come, me want to go?. Guys you just never know?

Then just make mexico an american country if they want to invade your america country simple as that i mean a bloodshed will be unleashed but you know they want to go to other countries illegaly then do that

SEND THEM BACK!!! Everyone wants to come to America because they know they will be taken care of by our government.

During the 1930's media in various countries made immigrants and asylum seekers out to be this horrible thing and demonised them. This came after a huge recession in 1923, the Wall Street crash, and the subsequent dramatic rise of far right parties in various countries, specifically Italy, then Germany and Spain. \nFast-forward to modern times. 2008 saw another global recession. Once again politics swung massively to the right with countries like Italy (once again), Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden, voting in right wing governments, France ending in a run off that narrowly defeated the far right, Belgium and Spain looking likely to be heading into heavily right wing governments at the next elections, whilst the US and UK governments both saw their politics swinging far further in that direction, especially the UK right now whilst led by an unelected leader who is demonising people in ways that would make Trump look soft. One of themajor rallying calls: immigration. The way media report on this becomes increasingly demeaning and hateful. During the 1930's much of the European media and even as far as the UK was ramping up the scorn against the ever increasing influx of Jewish immigrants coming from Germany. Even into 1944 there was a vast amount of demonisation of them seeking asylum, despite the knowledge by this point that there were horrific conditions in camps where extermination was becoming ever more apparent. The Nazi German government in 1936 passed laws that enabled them to revoke citizenship and stripped away laws on human rights. It would be great to say that these poor souls who were being demonised in their own country were accepted into nations who could see what was going on and who wanted to help, but that just wasn't the way it went. Media played out as it is now, leading to rejection and a greater number of deaths as a result of this. The way the UK government is currently working, it actually sounds like the maxi government of the mid 30's during the time of the Nürnberg laws. \n \nThe world feels far smaller now with double the amount of people and with things like social media playing a huge role in the lives of many. The ease of access to people around the world has made issues seem to stretch to far more countries now, whereas back then it was a time of empires. I get that there will be many here who support Trump, many who support Biden, there will be Brit's who support Sunak and the rather vicious words of Suella Braverman, whilst others will be more on the side of Starmer (I'm well aware of all the other parties but they don't stand to gain as much). There will be French people backing Macron, whilst others back Le Pen. We could go through each country all the way to the battle between Fujimori and Castillo in Perú, and the stories are much the same, but how will history judge us when people look back to this time? Will it be another occasion where we demonised those trying to escape the horror of the place they had the bad luck to be born in whilst we were luckier? \n\nI know there is hardship everywhere. I'm struggling more than most and I know I can't keep living this way. However, I don't want to be a part of history people look back at and say ‘if only they did something to help prevent this.’. I would rather be a part of history people look back upon and say; ‘that was a boring time period where nothing important happened’. It's already too late for that. Instead I try to remember that, though I was born into a family who never really wanted me, I was lucky enough to be born into a country that could support me during the hardest times. When you look at immigrants, remember that every one of us has immigrants in our family tree somewhere.

How about when Europeans invade us and committed all kinds of atrocities. They don't like to talk about it. USA is a migrants country and nobody will stop that too late. Europeans brought black people to get rich from slaves now they bitch about them and want to get rid of them. Is funny how these generations act without knowing what the reality is.

I don't know why anyone would voluntarily want to come to Faux Biden's police state.

You see that's what happens when you start letting people in now you have to give him warfare you have to give him shelter you have to give them clothing you have to support them OK a lot of them will work and a lot of wont-work And I don't want to work They already know that United States they gothanks and the countries that don't have s***

Well Biden has fallen to new lows he knows they won't win in 2024 so he is wanting to throw his opponent in jail, such a disgrace, very concerning to see the death of democracy in USA

You know our economy is in so much need of new workers. We have all these new jobs, and no employees. They need us, we need them. Let them in. F'n white men want $400 to mow your lawn!!!!!!

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.

Do u want to know how we’re killing our country. Let’s put it in easy terms say we’ve only got 4 muslims 2 men 2 women the each have 4 -6 kids (easy fir a muslim as they breed like rabbits)that’s say 12 kids in 13-16yrs time ten 12 kids each have 4-6 kids that’s another that’s 72 kids all in two generations but now put that into millions of muslims having 4-6 kids each put a ban on them having more then one child when they move here if they want more then deport them and put that to even muslims infact any migrant

Now we know why Democrats wants this and no voters ID.
