Your seeing this because this is what our government allows! The are embolden and think they have a right. Toe this is a n invasion! Everyone of them need to go home and fix their problems. How would they feel if we did this to them? No regards for it's people!

Venezuelans didn’t believe their country would go socialist, they went from one of the richest South American country to this. It can happen to any country, let’s not allow it to happen in the USA, Canada and others!

Life must be hell if they want to come to the US knowing full well what we are going through and what they would experience

It’s ridiculous that they’re trying to force their way in when if they would just go to somewhere that’s not a point of entry the garbage Biden administration would just let them in anyway… ?

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

If another country was trying to invade the US the government would go to war. \nWhy is it so hard to put America and Americans First ? Trump 2024??????

If they knew how hard it was here they would turn around and go back.

Send them all back home..we don’t need anymore of them here damn..how would they like it if a bunch of Americans try to go over there to get handed everything..free housing, free medical, free food, free loans for school and business etc..they need to be focusing helping the American people first with housing, medical, food etc..inflation is hurting everyone right now and even before that the pandemic..

Go home I seriously don’t think you would like it much if 100 million of us USA citizens decided to mass immigrate and demand housing , food, money for free from you! What you don’t like in your country, fight to change it, obviously there are enough of you

Please don’t destroy my Mexico along the ways. Emigrants all over the world even people from the island get to Mexico to go through the Mexican border and the US. Also a lot of the immigrants from South America end up staying in Mexico.?\n\n\nI think Mexican economy would be way better standing today if migrants didn’t come through our country & on top of that staying.??\n\nI will be sad when my Mexico becomes overpopulated ?

why would you want to go to a place that don't want you

Damn what’s going on out there that we don’t know that they would risk this shit

Why would you want to go to a country that doesn't want you

America is a mess of a country I’m not sure why you would want to go there

I wonder what these people would do if the United States didn't exist? Where would they go? ?

If this was any other country, they would open fire, use water cannons, and crowd control tear gas. But, nope, we gotta just let it happen. How long are we going to continue to be complacent about our border ? #Trump2024

My friend is from Mexico who came to the US legally and has been a border officer for many years now. He has a very hard time telling Mexican migrants that they cannot enter the US illegally. But the law is law and it is the same if you enter Mexico. It's just a matter of Mexico doesn't have many opportunities for jobs that pays well and it's a better life in the US. I grew up with migrants all of my life. They worked 3 jobs for many hours per day but would rather have that than go back to Mexico - with no job. If Mexico had a flourishing economy, I feel migration isn't an issue. But then there's history - California belongs to Mexico but someone sold it to the Americans long ago.

You must be really desperate to go to Canada. I would give them an award just to arrive so far north.

Sorry…hate to go full bloodthirsty dictator here…but rightabouts now would be the time to start dumping some rounds. At least into the air. There’s protocols for entry into the US. If you’re not going to do it legally, then I’m sorry, our system can’t support you. I’m not saying all illegals are bad…but would it hurt to just come here…idk…legally? We’re already suffering from a bloated government and military industrial complex, which most Americans SHOULD know, is how the majority of these “politicians” have such high net worths, let alone the systems we have in place to help immigrants. We’re on the verge of a collapse financially…we need to cut back government spending and we can no longer place this kind of money to immigration, or the government themselves.

Well I mean if the US would just stop ruining their countries they wouldn’t have the need to go there..

People who think this is about Republicans vs Democrats don't have a clue and are just going with their biases. Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any other president (more than Trump I believe), Trump stiffened up the border, and Biden made measures to actually make it tougher for these Venezuelan immigrants to get into the US once the migrant herd was moving north. This is a result of Venezeula and their economic collapse. If it happened sooner, it would've happened during Trump's time. I'm sure once Biden is out and a republican is president (looks that way), they'll try it again. Even Mexico doesn't want them since they have their economic issues to deal with.

Every since this has been allowed to occur we suddenly don’t have jobs in restaurants that allows people to work without citizenship or green card. They are taking those jobs speaking no English and being used and overworked. They are easier to deal with cause they barley complain. So people(americans) are being pushed out big time. They starting with the lowest pay . Lower than what Americans would accept. I completely understand that wall?? I can’t even take a vacation without a passport to the countries and I’m not planning on staying at all. We can’t go for a few days without documentation.. let alone pick up our whole lives and cross one of those borders without being rejected. So explain to me.. what gives them that right?

LET'S GO BRANDON . WELL DONE YOU DELUSIONAL CLOWN. NOW DEAL WITH IT. TRUMP WOULD HAVE SHUT THIS DOWN REAL QUICK.

If people don't go through the legal way I would be using a rubber bullets and teargas flashbangs. \n\nTechnically you're not doing it to your own citizens so it'd be kind of legal

Pepper balls, tear gas and bean bags would stop them. This is an invasion. If they’ll act like this they don’t belong here. They can go to CA, but the rest of us border states DO NOT WANT them.

The fact that people would rather go to Canada shows that the USA is no longer the Dream land. RIP USA

What people don’t know , is just how bad things have gotten in Venezuela ! I am reminding people how our democracy has been under attack! There’s is gone! Where would Americans go , if our country’s democracy is gone? Hmmm ? Think

It would only take one shot they will go the other way

If I was president I would be going to jail for war crimes

Our President invited all of this into our country! You didn't see President Trump inviting others to come take advantage of America. I blame this all on the Leftist lawmakers. This would not have happened if Trump were in office. This should have never happened. Can you even freaking imagine how well we could be doing now if we hadn't had that BS poisoning from our alleged President. Until our borders are shutdown, this is going to continue. They were invited...

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.

We have a process. Millions follow it. I see only a very horrible enforcement. Clean up venesueuela govt. They have resoutces. And if a honest govt people would stay. Its coming to mass warthog fly bys enforcing tge dmz. No one wants this! But one or two passes and over. Dont see this in other places. Put 1000 armed drones patrolling and just have a sit down with cartels who can stop this south. Their goal is sell americans dope and we already wink and look the othercway. The better we do the better they will andvthis is messing our economy. Not pushing dope etc but cats out of the bag aint going back so at least protect our borders. Putin could arm each of these invaders with bombs, poison etc andvthe damage they could do.... they dont love america. This is an invasion no different than WW2 . We could melt the border if we had the will. Freaky how weak usa is

To all of you that just want to let them in.. America is hurting right now.. it’s both the left and rights fault.. to let these people in would be reckless and only hurt ourselves even more. Where will these people go ?? California?? Look there homeless population it’s up 20% from last year.. wtf do you think is going to happen.

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.

Why doesn’t the USA just go ahead and take over the entire country of Mexico? Or hell, all the way down to the Panama Canal would be even better for America, so much more land for farms, we can control the drugs again, and dammit, Mexicans are hard workers and loyal asf

Ita not safe in Canada with all these criminals and illegal immigrants being accepted in the country! Crimes would sure go up and Canadians will sure regret it bwahahaha

I don’t know why they don’t use machine guns with rubber bullets tear gas everything it would take to repel these people to make them go backwards

Things are so incredibly bad in Mexico that the people need to leave…I mean it’s obvious they are terrified of Mexico to the point they would rather go though this…that speaks volumes of what they are going though and ignoring them isn’t an option since america totes itself as this free country you come to to change your life…maybe america should stop saying that and say their freedom has prices most can’t pay for…lol

They trying to picture like this is happening all days and at all times with no control. Don’t be so naive, even tho this is new it is not happening 24/7 Have you ever being at the border crossing? There is a lot of security and even when you cross with a visa the officers act like if you wanna stay there when you are just a tourist. Most people rather loose their dignity to go to a country where you are being treated like ? But I would never treat bad a gringo in Mexico because Im educated and have manners.

This is ridiculous… thanks Sleepy Joe and his border czar Kamala… what a joke .. you cannot be a country if you can’t control your own borders… Build the wall … put a 20 yard stretch of land mines … then people would have to go through the ports of entry legally like they should.. easy fix

For all those people saying the Mexicans here And that the Anglo's came here and took it if the anglers weren't here this side over here would look just like Mexico Any United States would be trying to go into other countries

I am latino and i hate how people would rather risk dying to get to country where they are not wanted and will be discriminated against even if they did go through the system correctly. Why not use that courage/bravery to fight your countries tyranny. I would rather die in the country that i was born in then to fight for a country that is divided and very prejudice against others. Also it sucks that lot of latino migrants are usually from southern latin America and they will try to tie them to Mexicans. Most of these people arent Mexican and trust me Mexicans are also somewhat conservative and have tried to tell migrants to not try this.

Looks really like an invasion to me. This would never happen in any other country and because of that we are weak. Going to lose the American privilege. I hope I’m really really wrong. With the amount of homeless and mental illness folk running around in the streets our money endlessly not helping due Democrats. I don’t know why any president would allow this to happen

WHY? Probably deepfake. Why would you want to go there because they are bankrupt anyway?

Think about if the USA was all fuck up where would y’all go lemme see y’all answer

In reality all we can do is tell them go back and just pray if we let them all in there would be a ton more people on the street homeless not enough houses or jobs

If only Trump would have kept his promise that Mexico was going to pay for the Wall. Now Biden has to fix Traitor Trumps Fk up.

This is a joke ! The same thing by the Canadian Border. People can't just come across the border but blame the US. If they took the border that serious they would have finished it years ago. I would love to move to Japan , but i can't just go there illegally It doesn't work that way. All these people coming across illegally won't get any jobs. They will know if you are a citizen or not.

Y’all realize when trump is back in office, all these motherfuckers are gonna go right back to where they came from. If only they would’ve just came in through proper ports of legal entry.

Go away. Illegal is illegal. Any other country would not be so nice if americans tried this.
