I'm a Canadian living in the UK now. I love Canada with every piece of my heart but couldn't see myself ever being anything other than working poor there. I went to college but couldn't get a job in my field so had to take whatever minimum wage I could get, couldn't afford rent let alone buying a property so moved in with my parents and there isn't any support from the government for average citizens, only if you're an immigrant, disabled etc. I'm not against helping immigrants, disabled people or those that need it, just sucks that if you don't fall into certain categories it means you'll always struggle in your minimum wage job.\nLife in the UK isn't perfect but I was able to find a decent job here, the public transit is actually usable, phone plans and other bills/groceries tend to be cheaper and the working conditions are significantly better. Like I get 32 paid days off a year in my average job which is just wild to me! In Canada my sister who is a police officer only gets 15 days off a year and that's a lot compared to other people, like I never use to get any paid time off at my previous jobs. I miss parts of living in Canada but for the time being the UK is making my life a lot easier.

Fuck that don’t let them in I’m sorry but America has enough problems already we can’t always be a safe haven to refugees sooner or later people gotta learn to defend themselves against their own governments.

America is already on its brink, many don’t realize it but these next 3/4 presidents we have, policies, etc. Along side what people of faith allow to go on, Along side music agendas, other political agendas that coexist, More of a possibility our Cold War with China gets physical by way of Taiwan at any moment, Korea…, Lack of both fundamental and natural Resources (used irresponsibly), Division due to government neglect to correct past decisions/often tends to cover up/erase/rewrite/censor “the victor gets to rewrites history” type shit, American dollar is starting not to mean shit in more places outside the States/territories (since we took it off the gold standard), let’s see there’s people still recovering from the housing market/Wall Street crash, recession, Homelessness in not just vets, youth (children) as well, Lack of Men’s Rights Across the board which is a bigger time Bomb; than what people think, Huge population decline due to modern Feminist Ideology and its affects on boys who were born and grew up in its prime (90s-early 2000s) if you go back through movies tv shows music you’ll see and hear comments, things, innuendos, references to things that foreshadowed what is happening now: to name a few contributors: Beyoncé, Oprah, Vivica Fox, Welfare, CIA, FBI, make up/fashion industry, etc. A new generation of confused, dense, savants that couldn’t tell you a woman from a beef stick… my bad my bad tells you that you can be woman even with a beef stick, Violations of constitutional right regularly by the ?who forget they work for, “The People” the people who pay their bills and put food on their tables. The government first normalizing unnatural sexuality(if you can’t reproduce “be fruitful and multiply”, I.e. man x women) you don’t see it working in nature seahorses somewhat excluded: my meaning of unnatural sexuality; Teaching it in schools some places too authoritarian rights away from parents, schools/music/media/tech raise kids nowadays not parents some places. Trying to normalize pedophilia in government a few bills her in Cali, a few movies on certain platforms, certain inappropriate clothing types for minors from a company made for adult women by a old man, Edw/Bel/Jac series yes 100+ year old going after a 16-17 year old, and an adult male “imprinting” on a baby, he later got in relationship with (not sus yeah mmm okay). Yeah we don’t need anymore problems in this country. Fight your own battles leave us out of it please.

Easy fix, we let them and redirect them all to California. There are tons of caring people out there and I bet they’d be willing to let a couple of these nice fine people into their home. They can clothe them, feed them, let them get that internet password, it’s a win win for everyone.

Seriously we absolutely need to help all the homeless and families already in the US without enough food who got fd diring covid. Help our people for once please or we won’t have country to bust into . Oh yea and when you have no home and no food you don’t give a FK what pronoun people call you . ..just sayin …. Let’s get our priorities straight

That’s a lot of taxes coming in right there for people that can’t file a return! That’s the truth of it! Let them work! Have u seen the price of strawberries recently! I think Americans are picking them! ?

This is so fucked up. There is literally no respect for this country or for those of us who work so hard to keep it the best country on earth. These people coming from shit hole countries are about to do the same to the US as they did to their previous land. Our country is being ravaged by people who have no roots here and we are just letting it happen.

Wow these comments are funny theses are people who clearly don’t understand what’s it like to live in a third world country, I thought the “American Dream” was still a thing ig not, and don’t go say “well they should just get in the right way” bc if u says that u clearly don’t understand how it work you need upwards of 8,000 dollars to even try to get in and a good ass lawyer, who tf has that much money and a good lawyer when ur in a this world country. Sad to see so many “Americans” saying stop letting them in, the “American Dream” has really died sad. Keep living ur comfortable lives tho and saying thing you know little ab ??

What the differences between NA (North America ?? and SA (South America ?? it’s just the language so “Why can’t US allow those people from SA to enter they’re just people who can increase the percentage of presidential votes which is good for both countries. Let them in as long as they’re not criminals escaping from their crimes. It really would be great. Otherwise remove the word titled SA (South America)?? those are just people so again let them in; so there can be a little peace ☮️ for both attached countries and make it one country. ☮️

We honestly need to let the venesquenlens here there country is shit and most of the are hard working people that would do anything and everything for there family

Wait I thought it was racist to not let these people in or was that only when trump was president ?

save these people give them place to start. let them leave in rural areas with freedom. they will work hard pay taxes and US is doing heroic work.

Thank the Democrats for letting this happen. We cannot support the people we have now so how are these people going to get the help they need? I guess these liberal cities can keep taking them in since it's their policies letting it happen. I guess if these cities get tired of footing the bill maybe they will stand up and say something to their leaders and tell them enough is enough. They don't want the wall they don't want to give the ice agents and border patrol the help they need and they keep blaming Americans for their stupid policies but they sure will bring in hundreds of IRS agents to take your money and arrest you if they don't think you're paying what they deem acceptable. I think most Americans are sick of this administration and want it gone. Their giving more rights to illegals and other countries than the people who live here. This administration is going after the rights and freedoms of all Americans and trying to turn the Constitution into some old document that doesn't have any relevance in today's world. They're pushing more and more communistic laws through our government to strip Americans of their rights. People need to wake up and see that this administration doesn't give a damn about you or this country.

You can stop it, you can’t let people over run the border, you might have to reach out and touch someone and I guarantee they will back up!

Stupid AZZ black people President let this happen. Democrats ain't worth a shit. Trump now. Republicans always protected America

Policy change in October, but how long did it take these peoples to walk all the way from Venezuela through entire Mexican lands to get to this border... if they had already left Venezuela and were on the journey , they would be stuck... \nIts not as if they took a plane ticket this morning or days ago from Venezuela to Juarez and just ignored the changes... \nCompassion.\n Let them apply ! Let them put in applications for asylum.

Build towns that are surrounded by walls give them a small space to live and build factories. Allow these people to have a small check and live and work in those small cities say in the middle of nowhere. Make them work for 1 year in those places and as long as they do good not crime and show up for work and take care of there living space then allow them to become citizens. That way you weed out the criminals and non hard workers. In 1 year you will have a good idea of who should be staying. Also its them paying for there spot and contributing to the us economy. Once they become contributing members of society and they get on there feet out of each check they will take a small amount to pay for all the resources that were used to help them. Also I belive the majority of the ones let in should be women and the young children. If I don't get free help working full time struggling they shouldn't either. Let's make america a manufacturing power house like we're were in the past and the only reason we are a super power now. Also do the same thing for criminals and the homeless teach them worth ethic and how to follow laws instead of giving them handouts to go buy more dope

An ideal United states would let them in with open arms because that's how this country started. But the United States isn't ideal right now and we need to fix ourselves 1st before we let more people in like this.

Castro Jr. is not even fit to greet people at Walmart, let that sink in for a moment...

Its an obvious pattern around the world. Here in the uk it's identical. Our government are letting people in when people who were born here can't even get a job or house. This is real time organised chaos.

you let the white Ukraine in and give them free housing and free medical and ssi checks you turn Haitians back hypocrits racist keep pushing people of color

Come to our country the right way. We need to fixed our people here before we let any one in our country.

Im Mexican and I think its stupid how people think that they’ll just let them pass some wanna come work but some just want to be in the U.S to have kids and get foodstamps and housing thats the mentality of a lot because they believe life is easy over here cause the government supposedly gives you money

They got a better life over here and let him come over here and I mean nobody here wants to work anyways everyone here wants to be drug addicts and almost anyways most homeless people I know are homeless by choice so let them come over here if they want to come over here if it's for their safety we do not own land this land was my ancestors land okay it was stolen from us so

Let them in!! Get rid of these soft weak Americans and bring back good, hard working people with good character and morals! In 20 years they will be American too!

When Trump called it a mass invasion the race baiters went crazy with bullshit lies. No country just let's everyone in their country freely and if our government don't protect our borders, we as people should. An army of people from a country or countries that want us destroyed could have gotten thousands if not tens of thousands of soldiers in out. Country by now. Just\n Luke the Trojan horse and Troy. We are doomed if the people don't unite. All races in America need to open their eyes and see that their is us, the 99 percent and then there is the 1 percent that see us all as enemies. How can 1 percent control the 99 percent. By division. Divide and conquer. Better get woke for real. Not the woke they feed the masses in the media

Let ‘em all in I’ll trade all the “pronoun/ child trans people for the worst immigrants they’ve got ?

Lock the borders down, fix us first. We crime, poverty, economic crisis, and much much more! We need to fix our country before we let abunch of others be let in and ruin our country. America must think of the interests of her and her people and her alone. None of this would have happen if all your MF would have just kept trump in office American would have been great now but instead we fell back and have a powerless government I want my country to be number 1 and have growth! We need a republican back in office again! Republicans for 2024! No more sleepy joe we need to MAGA!

It’s time to take up arms and stop this invasion I am ready let’s go wake up people we are losing our country. Why do you people want to be a third world country???

I am a sikh and let me tell you that kirpans that people carry theese days are blunt they are not at all sharp, they are used for just wearing purposes these days so that we could just complete the '5 KAKARS '. Back in the days when sikhs caught wars, they it used sharp kirpans to fight but we no longer have wars so kirpans are blunt. Just chill.

Do not let them in they need to stay we're they're at and changed we're they're at ..that all too ..why your not going to Mexico cause they know Mexico is not having it plus the people are dressed nice and comfortable

They came to CHILE ?? by the thousands! Now Chile never fall so far down into crime and unstable country. It used to be the most safe in SouthAmerica. People now needs to be in their houses before 5pm or you risk to be killed. With 3 police man killed on a close range with assault rifles which police don’t even have!! It’s a HUGE mess!!!! Maduro is opening his nasty jail to let all those criminals go!!!?Im an immigrant to this BEAUTIFUL NATION and my sister which it took 13 years to bring from THE RIGHT WAY!!

I don't know how they even made it through Mexico. Is it because the Mexican government's getting paid or what? That's the question people don't ask. How did Mexican government let them through??

Don't let them in. They can do jobs better than Americans and cheaper. Americans think they have entitlement and are lazy. That's why U.S. lost manufacturing jobs to China and Mexico. American CEOs fed up of American worker entitlement mindset. HISPANIC people stop buying American goods with your hard earned money. See how they treat Spanish people from South America.

They should've stopped white people when they came to the U.S, they always stopping Mexicans, Haitian,, well anyone brown or black, but let them Asians and Ukrainians etc in Scott free

We need to ask ourselves why are these people running from their homes. What do we need to do to help these people. Quick to go to war over lies and we are suppose to be a nation that cares. I don't want to let all them in our country because this is our land and we don't know these peoples intentions but can we stop $ laundering for war and redirect our nation to help or atleast investigate.

Ah yes let's bring more people when we have no healthcare no housing no public transit

come on democratic Americans....where is your democracy now....let that people in????

Reality. Really. Maga right. Let's see unemployment numbers down nation wide since Trump took office. Foreclosures another all time low. Employment is up. Programs that Trump and his republican mates took away to help now not only back in firm place but helping Americans who weren't wealthy and paying for it are now successfully employed, own their homes and contribute fairly with appropriate taxes. People can't find housing??? Programs are out there for those who had foreclosure on them because of Trump's unyielding to constantly tax those not making six digits. Also our country lost over one million innocent men,women, children and infants because Trump REFUSED to acknowledge COVID. Care to speculate how many of them were republicans thinking how could I of believed him??? One father stated after burying his wife who died from it said this. We believed him then my wife of fifty years contracted it and died quickly and our kids who like us who believed him were told had this been taken seriously in the beginning it would of never become this severe. They became democrats.

Please, please, please don’t let them through. It’s not about race and racism. It’s about our country facing the saturation of homelessness, because of the saturation of drugs, lack of self respect, and respect for human life, plus insatiable greed. WE THE PEOPLE do not want their problems too.\n\nWe have to work on our country and its people first before we look elsewhere and before we can help others, we must help ourselves.

DONT LET 6HEM IN!!! WE HAVE NO RESOURSES FOR THEM...ITS TOO MANY DAMN F PEOPLE... WE NEED THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD DOWN THERE!!! WE ARE BEING INVADED!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT WORTHY TO ENTER OUT COUNTRY!!! WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO BE PLACED!!!??? WE ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF...TAKE CARE OUR OWN!!! DONT LET THESE FREE - LOADERS IN !!!!

Damn these people have no money no shots and nobody knows ŵho they are ĵYou no therr some hardened criminals in this mass of illegals. Rapist murderers child molesters..This has to be stopped ✋️. It like a eruption of drugs disease and crime being released on our people.Anyone who's against stopping this should be jailed for treason.Better yet force them to go the other way and let them see how fat they get before there jailed or murdered

Man, I really do love everyone who is currently in office for our government at the moment. I just love letting any & everyone into our country, not to mention the cost of groceries & gas is amazing too! I absolutely love paying almost $7.00 just for a gallon of milk. It also just makes me think about such better times that were...... I don't know, like three fucking years ago! When the average American could afford to buy groceries & gas, and any other essential as needed. \n\nNow we will find housing for all of the people illegally entering our country, while we have more than enough Veterans sleeping on the street, & not to mention that 22 Veterans a day kill them selves on average. But MS-13 gang member and Mexican Cartel members deserve a nice place to live, hopefully they don't cut off anyone's head during their stay! ?\n\nBut, anyways....This current regime deserves nothing but praise! Thank you, Democrats, seriously thank the Fuck out of you people!!!?

It’s weird countries have boarders at all. We’re all human. We can’t we go where we please without boo-coos of money and the right documentation. It’s odd how certain groups of people can control everyone and people just let them.

You might not like how things look, but letting people have a better life is the right thing to do. Just make it happen.

I don’t agree. I say let them in. Their is plenty of room and opportunity. We Americans are Rich and Fat & have no idea what these people have been through… but what do I know.

That's what happened when they let other people over here undocumented and they feel that they should come to

The homeless are drugged out burn outs you wouldn’t give them a damn dollar if they asked you for one ? these people will work the lowest jobs with the worst pay that so many homeless Americans would never accept, the homeless would rather beg for money cause they’re too busy shooting up drugs ?yall act like y’all give a damn about homeless yall just don’t like immigrants and use homeless as a reason to not let them in, when was last time you gave a homeless a dollar? And when was last time you PAID a landscaper to fix your lawn? How much does a dollar cost? ?

Okay let me get to the point I understand immigrants that migrate from other places that are suffering and so on the only thing I am against once we have immigrants in this country like us and even Canada we as US citizens and in some cases the Canadian citizens we be left in the back burner while the people that are not from here they tend to get first priority which is not they get more of the services then us citizens especially when it comes to food stamps health insurance housing jobs and so on. I understand they're human like everybody else but don't cast us to the side just to cater to them.

So sad , millions and millions of people are suffering. And no one cares. And then we as Americans let idiots lead us and run our country like Biden and trump and all the other corrupt treasonous politicians. It’s time the free people of the world take a stand and take back what is ours.
