Venezuela is an extreme socialist problem. They control all prices and hijack the concept of healthy business functions. This causes essential goods like water, food, and toilet paper, even fruits, are totally barren from stores. Socialism there is a nightmare and no one is living life their with decency. Read about it before you judge these people. Try to visit these countries or learn from someone who came from there before you form a solid opinion of politics folks They don’t have the ability to use much of their “freedom” to “fix” things against a rigged system already (some commenters say they need to go back and fix their countries- lots of issues with this). Read up on how South American governments make it almost impossible for their own people to make decent money. Americans are very privileged and that is an understatement. The problem is with these terrible governments and even law enforcement who often get bribed by criminals and many dirty cops in some countries down there. My husband is from South America, and we know Cubans, Brazilians, and Venezuelans who beg America to stay capitalist. That’s why America needs to stay American, and refrain from trying to be socialist.

We should thank Joe Biden for all of this madness going on. Now the American people will have to pay for these people

I’m Native American, my people have ALWAYS been here. They all need to go back where they came from!

there's so many homeless Americans .. where do they think they going to go ..? so many have been killed sex trafficked. and put in jail to live

Have you been to Walmart lately???? I'm not joking it's a hundred percent illegals and they are using FOOD STAMPS for everything all day long! Not one of them speaks any English and they have no plans to become American, they cross the border with clenched fist held high to invade and take this country back! We haven't seen anything yet!!!! It will get so much worse than these little battles at the border! Pay no attention to CNN, (THEY LIE 24/7) instead just go to Walmart and see for yourself!!!!

If America takes off the sanctions it has on Venezuela maybe they wouldn’t have to leave and go else where but Americans ain’t ready to have that conversation with its government

Stop following american liberal democracy while thres still time, go communist so this thugs will no have no voice and you can kick them out of your country..

This is a warning for Americans, That Socialism destroyed a Rich and Prosperous Country like Venezuela that has more Oil underground that Saudi Arabia!! Meanwhile the DEMORATS are dead set on turning the US into a Socialist Sh*t Hole!! Let's go Brandon!! \nMAGA2024 SAVE America from the Socialist!!

As a Canadian I'd just like to say, she's so wrong. Africans love Canada, and we love them. Now, African Americans, thats a tricky one. Its not about the colour of ur skin, its about attitudes. 90% of the time when dealing with African Americans, u can tell their waiting and looking for racism, get upset when they dont find it. The victim mentality is a real turn off. Again, go ask some Africans about life in Canada, i bet u get more positive than negative. The American black culture is the problem for most people, in most places, including America itself. The inability of this show and its host to act like theres no legitimate reasons why so many feel as they do about American black culture, just makes this an echo chamber. \nI have African friends in Africa, i have African friends here in Canada. \nBut because im white, it must be a lie.?\nTell me my African American friends, are any of u deceitful, hateful, arrogant, nasty, vengeful? Or, are y'all perfect?

Racism certainly is a hallmark of liberal and conservative societies, but there's plenty of misperception and bigotry against African Americans in African countries, too. We all have a very long way to go

They're breaking our laws by forcing their way in. I'm sure they're a great addition to the American population. What can go wrong?

They need to figure it out in Mexico or Venezuela, wherever they are from. American people have our own problems . Go to any construction site it's full of them?

Why didn't they start shooting them down? They're forcing they're way in the country and no one stupid then, where do any of them go. They do not get to bust in and take resources from Americans who are already homeless.

They are overwhelming our government and Americans who cant get the help they need becuz of this\n It's not free to live here its costing taxpayers billions of dollar. Yall gotta go back. America need to clean house and start focusing on there own people who are starving g and living on the streets. Go home plz

They are becoming more and more aggressive and seriously ENTITLED! You have a in ENTIRE country and land down there that’s beautiful, yet you flee here where there are already millions of Americans homeless. Biden has got to GO in 24’because this has gotten out of hand!

Why come come here to stand OUTSIDE in the HOT SUN, with your little babies and totters to BEG for our money, THAT WE AS AN AMERICAN BARLEY MAKING IT HERE OURSELVES. “WE DON’T HAVE IT TO JUST GIVE IT AWAY!”, so you can turn around and get in your nice car and go to your home, while your husband on the next block doing the same. Biden ain’t worried about if they make it over he probably sitting back laughing at how crazy this country going down to ?, and to be honest MOST of them are SOOOOO FREAKING DIRTY, don’t clean up behind them selves, kid’s run around in the store an the parents don’t say a damn word. I’m just saying “TRUMP!” did a DAMN GOOD JOB of keeping this nonsense from happening…

Hold on now I will agree white Canadians are passive aggressive (sneaky) she called it but as a black American who has lived and worked for 28 plus years in Canada (Ontario) Alberta is the Texas of Canada so hill Billys rednecks not the most sophisticated people in the country I’ve never felt discriminated against and have always found great employment here . As a person of Colour in a mostly white country it’s not realistic to not expect some bigoted white peoples it’s just not, their the majority so their always going to be that way. But overall I never feel unsafe here in Ontario very diverse area lots of Muslims, asians, native Americans Africans and tons of Carribeans from all over the West Indies . It’s a problem white people struggle with but compared to my home country I prefer Canada, here you’ve got a chance where back in the states it’s literally dangerous to be too dark of different, sorry for her experience leave Alberta come to Ontario, you’ve got a safe home here.

This is a slap to AALL those that came in LEGALLY, this is a slap in the face by OUR FAT CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS who did nothing but yell and scream while doing nothing, this is a slap in the face to AMERICANS who now HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES of higher taxes,worse crimes soon to happen...while OUR government says F*K YOU, SUFFER, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. They don't care, they're going to make sure THEY HAVE THEIR MONEY...

They are lucky Americans don’t handle it like some countries. Try that going into China or Korea

We can't even get our own benefits but you the USA will go it to these criminals illegal is illegal period give my American benefits to me not them

And yet our so called politicians just sit and watch as hard working sympathetic people on the border work to keep these persons out, aa politicians watch while they are sleep and eat comfortably. Imagine the politicians eating a great dinner watching, saying somethingmust be done. Do you think they stop living comfortably and go to the border to help? I'm just saying...These immigrants just don't know how hard we, Americans have it too. Any politicians reading this, you can have them to come in the right way by working with Mexico and create thousands of jobs here in the US and Mexico. Get your sh#* together politicians.

Why don't they get organized like this and go against there own country mexico is rich the government there has so much money if they can get together like this than they should do it to get there government to give them money food wat the f### and than you here them say viva Mexico when there here how can you say that to a country that treats there own people like animals I'm sorry but we need Trump to come back so he can put the army in our borders cause there nothing here I try to get a job the other day and they told me they only hire Mexicans I'm sorry but Americans first there getting everything section 8 low income housing and we Americans that are here don't get shit I know there hungry but we are too and that's not our problem it's there governments problem don't send Mexico and chille and the rest of them any money if they can't keep there people in line sorry but I'm voting this time go trump

Time to use deadly force...sad but necessary...these people have no regard for law as we can see...there are too many AMERICANS that are suffering, going hungry or homeless, we need to close the borders and take care of our own first!!

if no deal on debt ceiling , they and americans start going to the (BRICS) countries ???

Wow but people was complaining and spanish people were crying about the wall . Thats the best thing he could of done for america. Trump saw this coming. And Biden doesnt want to do right. This isnt right. Its not fair to American citizens. Their government need to do better for their citizens. Period. Americans cant go to other countries talking about we are here illegally no, we are going to jail so why isnt there any repercussions here?

Sad... All the misery from Latin America is what migrates to the United States.\nIt is what has destroyed the culture of Americans..\nWhat the hel! are they demanding?? They should go back to their countries, and have their corrupted government removed.\nThe US is frankly an embarrassment.. they should enforce policies against illegal immigrants and have everyone deported.. clean the country!! It is disgusting

Now I r3ally understand why they got the border up. Yall Mexicans come in ILLEGALLY. if yall didn't force yourselves into our country without payin or any paper work yall trippen. Because us Americans have to pay lots of money too for passports which is the same thing for us to go to different countries. If yall followed the law and came into our country the correct way their wouldn't be any issues

They’re illegal. I understand the desire to pursue a better future for you and your family. You’ve got to go through the proper channels though. You shouldn’t be able to just walk into the country and then receive support, that most Americans don’t receive. Look at the situation with our veterans. Right now, Americans are having issue finding affordable housing. Everything’s gotten so expensive. This doesn’t help the situation.

If a bunch of Americans did that at the border of ANY country they would be treated different. This is exactly what uncle joe and rage libtard nation want. Destabilize and destroy. Idon’t get why the people who came legally aren’t making more of a statement. The next few years are going to be rough for everyone.

Even tho I don’t think this is correct, U.S people luckily finds themselves on a good position to see this just as people making a tantrum to enter the U.S, proudly I say I’m Mexican American and I’ve lived in Mexico and Brasil as well, non of those Latin American countries I lived is as bad as Venezuela and even like that I’ve seen some very messed up shit, they are countries with a huge culture and beautiful but on the lowest levels it’s a pretty dark place to be…so for the USA people here that is heavily throwing shit, be some kind of human try to understand at least , I get it, I don’t think this is the way neither, but they are not just people trying to invade to take over or whatever, I even saw a comment saying that they should shoot those Venezuelans, the world is a pretty messed up thing now, and luckily or unluckily we don’t really know a shit about it, they are DESPERATE it seem like they were violent and most probably some of them tried to get violent but most of them is just desperate people trying to have it better in their only and one only lives..worst yet, if you have a kid, imagine how worried would you feel for not being able to provide your kid with a good life… see the people in the front for example, they were people begging and crying, is being desperate for having something better, and this is a really biiiiiiig subject with a lot of issues, wrongs, misunderstanding… you don’t know how bad is going in Venezuela, not even me, but I can imagine it cuz I know how bad some people have it in Mexico, and they don’t know how them illegally getting into the US is going to affect the US, I try to get all points so I don’t think this is correct, this kind of events shouldn’t be happening, but I also understand, just to put it in perspective, I’ve talked with some people from Venezuela and they’ve told me some crazy stuff, quick example. McDonalds something most American people know …for one person only it can be around 15 - 20 bucks, in Venezuela, and I think minimum wage rn is around 6.15 bucks and if it’s good it can be around 20 - 30 A MONTH, now apply this formula to EVERYTHING, housing, bills, expenses and I think things in Venezuela for a little bit better not that long ago,so it was worst than what I just told you, imagine you finish college you have somehow of a decent life and for things you don’t understand and no one advise you of, next week your job, money is not even half of the value it had last week, imagine if it was you and your family, your kids…I don’t have kids but I know my mom would’ve done anything for trying and give me not even a luxurious life, but a kinda decent life, and I know most of people would’ve done the same, and not only for your kids, also your mom, dad, sisters, brothers and even YOURSELF…again, I’m not saying this is correct or it’s not I’m just saying at the end our surrounding make us do whatever we are doing….I get you not being okay with this, but try to be comprensible and not go straight into hate for this people. \n\nUnfortunately I wouldn’t imagine anything to solve this problem and I hope something better comes for the entire world right now …but I just doubt it…

I’m never going to Africa. They don’t even like black Americans. Plus why would you go to Africa? If you live in USA. They sold your ancestors

If you have an issue with latino people coming here undocumented, you should remember that your ancestors did EXACTLY the same thing and that they decimated native Americans in order to create rules, laws and regulations against the very thing they themselves did. Don't like it? Why are you here in the Americas then- if you don't want to mingle with us? All of Latinos are American whether central, south or north American.\n \nNative Americans were here first. Y'all seem to love to forget that you have no right to discriminate Latinos (because their heritage started here) and indigenous people from the Americas. Their homeland. \n\nYou literally know where your roots are but you want to ignore that part of history and pretend that the US is your god given right to live without the presence of those who's roots are here many, many, again many centuries before you. We don't tell you to go back to Europe because we know that wouldn't be fair to you and it wouldn't make sense to send you there. In the same way it doesn't make sense that you tell us to leave when this is our motherland millennia before y'all imposed yourselves onto this continent. Get over it. Vote for immigration laws that are in favor of them that makes it easier for them just as it was free for your ancestors to do for theirs.

Americans of the US have no where to go, how or why should we allow more people in when we have our own issues to fix?

you going to see more Americans homeless to house these people coming over!..

Aside from the fact that we need to protect our borders I would like to remind everybody that when I was a child we went into Venezuela as a military force we continue to go through all the South American countries either taking out directly the people that were voted into office and placing our own in there and then exploiting each country and now the Venezuela has come upon corporate entities who are literally starving them so badly that they’re going to the zoo and eating the animals it just seem unjustly criticized because you never hear about that side of it you just assume there’s Mexicans trying to cross the border as usual this is open my eyes

Land of the Free and a home of the Brave. A sanctuary country right? We the people? Human beings are trying to enter into a free country. What's the problem? They are not dogs and cats who need paper work like licensing or A.K.C. Registration. When are we gonna get it right? I'm a black man in America. Yet I know Love lives matter. It's about the blood of Jesus. Sure let's do things decent and in order but I'm tired of seeing our people on this planet struggle to walk on free land. Let's continue to respect our Native American brothers and Sisters too. We have a history as mankind we must not go backwards. We gotta call on Jesus to help us find the correct way to do this people. Come on. We gotta humble ourselves and pray for specific problem resolution regarding immigration, freedoms, love and respect, cultural awareness, differences urgencies, priorities and authorities. IM TEARIN UP GUYS. ? I AM GOING TO GOD IN PRAYER. MY NAME IS JOSHUA. WILL ANY ONE TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME? PLEASE DO. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS FROM GOD. A THUMBS UP WILL MOTIVATE ME AND INCLUDE YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH MINE. OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS. I BELIEVE HE WILL HEAR US CORPORATELY. I HAD A VISITATION FROM AN ANGEL AND I DO KNOW THAT GOD IS WITH ME WHEREVER I GO. SOME THINGS ARE ONLY SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME IN JESUS NAME, THAT THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. AMEN??????

We have something called the system of the law you can come into the country but you must I repeat you must not break the law why is it okay for them to break a law and they don't go to jail they just get deported we get up an American citizen breaks a law he goes to jail what the hell something is wrong with this system if you come into this country illegally you should be treated worse than that just my opinion

Sorry what they were going through with their country. We have American people that's home less sleeping on the streets. \n\nThey need to return them back to their country and apply the right way.

America is already over crowded,the sad truth is that we can’t support all of those people n they need to be stopped,the “American dream”is not a dream when all they are going to do over here is work they ass off for little pay and are going to be suffering the same way they are right now.

Pretty soon the Americans in mass are going to be running into Mexico from our corrupt government. Wouldn’t it be hilarious to see the faces of the illegal immigrants as push past them!?

Try this going into any other country where the military men don’t wear dresses snd the government legalize mutilate children. Oh wait \nThey’ll shoot you. But america lets them do it snd then they come here and tell Americans their country snd flag are nothing.

I can't believe that CNN is reporting on this issue. They have been supporters of our deteriorating government and hiders of the truths of their complete disregard of our immigration laws. Apparently they need rating boosts and are trying to attract conservative Americans to help save their rapidly deteriorating numbers. Sorry (not sorry), guys. It's too late for your fake efforts. America has spoken and you are a sad thing of the past. The only reason I even stumbled across this was because it was a short that randomly popped up and I watched because I thought it was a legit news source... until I noticed it was from CNN. Just die and go away. Your lies have finally caught up with you. We need no more fake news! We know the truths anyway!

Should be right of shouting.\nIm sick and tiring what venezuelan are going all over in central and South American just to create caos and the taking properties there are not theirs.violent when they dont get what they want.

It's kind of unfortunate but I really do believe we need a private group of citizens to go out and start hunting these illegal immigrants in the desert leaving swathes of bodies strewn across the land. These people are only coming like this because they are being told that they will be safe and that the Americans will be too afraid to fight back. It's an invasion and we know what to do with Invaders we stack them

Looks like they need a lot more sharper barbed wire. That's a lot of felons entering our country illegally. They are already throwing veterans out of motels to house these illegal aliens. What are they going to do next? Start throwing Americans out of their homes to house these illegal aliens?

going to school isn’t enough to be in America you need a job, The American dream isn’t free

We Americans can’t go to their countries and not have a passport they would immediately including Mexico immediately deport Americans no chances what so ever. Everyday Americans are deported for living in these peoples countries or denied access. You can’t get a job in their countries unless you speak their language. These people don’t have respect for us no American. They are here for money to send it home. What does that do to our economy if the money is being sent out. They also think we got free money free house free car free free free free free. That’s why we have many homeless illegals.

They are American hating men and they are here for one reason to make us go bye-bye and it's all your fault fake news

Close the border. Americans tax dollars shouldn't have to pay for refugees when they're struggling to get by themselves. People can't afford to go to college in the U.S., it's so expensive. Cost of living goes up all the time. I have multiple degrees and can't really find a job and when I do, they always want to pay very low and def much lower than they started your counterparts at. There's a ridiculous homeless issue in the U.S. where I've met plenty that apply for jobs all the time and do not get hired. They even ask random people if they can work for them just for food, literally just for food. There are people everywhere that take things for granted including the U.S. but that's not the issue here. There are U.S. leaders that steal your money in taxes and retirement funds then misuse the funds. How is it fair for a hard working individual to have 30% of their gross removed from there paycheck then still required to pay the government when filing income taxes. You can buy a house, pay it off and never own it. The government is your forever landlord because property taxes are always due and are increased whenever authorities want them increased. Every country has serious issues.

Whenever you mock the Lord, he always returns the favor with an earthquake or two. You want to study and devote yourself to which magic, and you get what you deserve. There's only one way out South Americans and that's through Jesus Christ that's it that's the only way this place ain't going to save you. When and if you make it here they're going to murder you. You're being used like pawns. There is something you can do as a whole. Go after your you have enough people to discard them. Do it for your children... The United States is completely bioengineered. The food will kill you here it's band and so many other countries. Don't make any plans on getting fat here unless you want to die early on.
