My parents came to this country in the 70s from a small country in SAmerica. they brought me 3 years later and my handicap brother 2 years later. The USA embassy made my parents sign a paper stating that my brother will not used any government assistance ( he had polio when he was little so he has to walk with scratches) and that's what my parents did until my brother got a job. He worked for 40 years in the same job until he retired 6 years ago. With the exception of the mass rehab center for job training, my brother never used government assistance. \nI remember my mother and I we used to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to shovel the snow from the driveway so it would be safe for him to walk to his car to go to work at 5 am. I am very proud of my brother. \nSome people think that receiving government assistance is smart, but we think is not bc it makes you a dependent, you loose your sovereignty as an individual. And these people don't realize that. Personally I think these people are getting paid to do this bc this is not normal. \nIn the other hand, the USA government in the quest to protect its interests ( mainly the corporate interests) support candidates that will go along with what the US says. \nI would like to point out that in this country, there's plenty of corruption, do u do anything about it? ! Jan 6 is the only time that I see it happening ( for me, Jan 6 will forever be a very important holiday)

America should train and arm them for a coup to install a pro American government in Venezuela so they can get the oil!!! It's been done and worked before.

UK having same problems but the illegals get housing,money benefits they have more rights than the British people look at all government housing in uk huge percentage of them are immigrants can't speak English abuse nhs send money out of UK so more can illegally enter country its a disgusting it cost 6 million pounds a day to house and care for these people and we don't even know who the hell they are what there back ground is, they are criminals by law it's in the name used for them ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

Trying to get to the U.S. because there government treat them like slaves, but once they reach the U.S. there treat us with disrespect, all those Mexicans are very very racist.\n When they become staff members at jobs they treat blacks very bad, they separated us and grouped me with three other blacks at this job I worked at, told us to be quiet and let the Mexicans talk, but me and other guys kept talking to show them they can't boss us around.

People are coming over to the United States because of the food stamps checks.The government needs to stop the help or people are going to continue to come and once they get here they don't want to work the women declare them self with no husband to receive food stamps money.The young people don't want to work and the older people are tired of working.

The problem with accepting a lot of immigration from countries like Venezuela for example is that all the good people that have some influence flees the country, leaving tyrants to stay in power longer since most of the opposition fled the country. If they want to leave the country because of the elected government they have to stay over there and solve their problem. On top of that I have many friends who came to the U.S. because of the government but go back to their country every year for vacation. I am not against immigration, and if we are smart we can get more people working and contributing with taxes, I just don’t like the fact that most of this people are good people who fled their country to leave tyrants free to do whatever they want.

I have nothing against immigrants it’s the fact the ones who do come here legally are offended when they have to go through a whole bureaucratic process and illegals come here get free stuff by the left for votes. It’s hard to revolt on your government when it’s ran by the cartels

Canada life is great, provided you work your *** off. \n\nDon’t come to Canada and do begging on the streets or get free money from government. \n\nWe as Canadians cannot be paying for this as these free money will raise taxes.\n\nCanada winters are harsh so if you are don’t like cold then just stay home.\n\nRents are high as well especially in cities so is your cost of living.

If this large mass of people would do this to government places in their own country they would get ahit done.

This makes me so mad, that city is struggling their citizens can’t get assistance because the local government is giving to the immigrants. Housing programs are giving their funding to those coming across the border they can’t even help United States citizens.

President Biden might want to put together a task force made up primarily of those from border states and those with large immigrant populations. The task force can be requested to make an up-to-date assessment with our successes and failures, a new list of goals with steps to get there, as well as new ideas to try out on current problems, while suggesting new policies and government procedures. Whatever we're doing it just isn't working anymore so we must do better. Immediately, please.

Mayorkas must of been pissed that the border agents did not just give them free travel all over America. At this point you will get way more from the government if you are an illegal alien

The American government is behind this.... that's why you don't see it on American news.... this is Biden way too get more white people in America, if they can pass for white.

The United States of America need to wake up. Joe Biden is doing a terrible job. My heart goes out to the people who work in the custom and immigration of border patrol and for the state of Texas Venezuelan was taught to hate the People of Guyana if anybody wants to come in the United States come in early legally and get a working paper and pay taxes. And this government should not be helping them because the American people need help we need people. The citizen of this country need help Joe biden is Evil

Hell naw, we already have Ukrainians immigrants here and those mf are getting SSI benefits. Our government is so corrupt. It needs to be smaller and we need true leadership. They've completely lost our country

An that’s what America get it’s our government fault … they mess up these countries then be mad when the people wanna come here I don’t blame them

not a single one of these people must get through. the nerve to demand entry into a country by the use of force...just like that....while most of us have to go through the legal procedures and wait months just to have your visa granted....but that is the correct way of getting legal permission to be in the US.....all of those venezuelans are sent by their government to create chaos...its how south american communism and socialism operates...

I got the answer, how about the US government take its knee off the neck of the Venezuelans. The US foreign policy toward these countries is a huge part of the problem they have and why they are desperate to come here. I hope the US government gets put in its place soon so the desperation and bloodshed in these other countries at their hand will stop. The US says it’s for human rights well stop sanctioning these countries just because they don’t bend to the demands of the US and their corporations for exploitation.

Take back your country from the cartels and make life good there. America is great at training new soldiers so make a real resistance against the drug lords and ask for training and help on how to solve your problems instead of just looking for a free reset stop just running here and adress the real issues in your country. Bumb rushing our borders looking for a hand out doesn't fix anything in the grand scheme, but it does enrage Americans when we as citizens can't get the level of help that's offered to foreigners. If we have to fix your country for you then we should have claim to part of your countrys resources and said country should be under our same governing laws and paying taxes like the citizens of the country that's solving their problems

THE SAD THING HERE IS THAT, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LOYALTY TO AMERICA. THEY KUST WANT TO COME AND MAKE MONEY AND SEND IT TO THEIR COUNTRY. IT DOES NOT BENEFIT AMERICA. I THINK THIS MAY BE PLANNED BY THEIR HOME GOVERNMENT TO DISRUPT AMERICA AND OTHER INFILTRATORS ARE INSIDE. THEY MOSTLY ARE GOING TO BREAK THE LAW AND OVERCROWD THE SYSTEM\nWE AMERICANS ARE REALLY STRUGGLING. CANT EVEN BUY A HOUSE WITH ALM THAT WE PAY IN TAXES AND SWEAT . YET THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING AND UNDER 3 YEARS WILL GET A HOME HANDED TO THEM . WHY\nWHY WHY- \nWHY ARE WE AMERICANS MADE TO GO THROUGH THIS KINDS OF HARDSHIP AND YET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MOST OF WHOM ARE HERE TO SUCK THE WELFARE SYSTEM GET PRIORITY.\nMOST OF THEM COMING IN HAVE MORE MONEY THAN AMERICANS \nAMERICAN GOVERNMENT, TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN CITIZENS FIRST . THIS IS THE RIGHT AND HUMANE THING TO DO ELSE, THE COUNTRY WILL LOOSE ITS FLAVOR.\nLet’s live in dignity. \nBEWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THIS DOES NOT APPLY ONLY TO VENEZUELAN BUT TO ALL OTHERS \n\nWHEN YOU COME IN LEGALLY, YOU BRING DIGNITY

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

This is happening EVERYWHERE in Western countries. They want to break our communities. You can’t blame the men and women leaving Venezuela or other countries looking for a better, safer life. We’ve got to stop hating one another. If the governments in all countries did their jobs properly and looked after their people, they’d not want to leave. America broke Venezuela, same as they try and destroy anyone who doesn’t do what they say. Learn some Spanish, make some new friends. There is strength in numbers, we’re going to need all we can get to face the bastards that are creating the chaos. Peace out. ✌?

Send them back why keep helping migrants when all these homeless Americans people. The government don’t put them in Motels or give them health care. Some migrants get free homes pay no rent or utilities I saw a article about it. There need to be stricter regulations and Americans people come first look at all those homeless families needing free housing and utilities and food. Every time you call a bank or somewhere you get a non-English speaking person and everything get all confused and messed up. Give Americans people their jobs back. Close the border every 5 or 10 years reopen for two weeks make them stay where ever they come from. Look how thaws Americans are getting killed in Mexico and look how they set there mattress on fire at the border detention center. Barricade all borders and if you come across any border crossing they be punished put them on the chain gang or something. Use force if needed .. !

If they can illegally force their way in, imagine what havoc they’ll wreak on the economy and the crimes they’ll commit to get what they want in America. They are already committing a crime by doing this, who is to say they won’t commit more (perhaps even more heinous) crimes once they force their way in? If anything, they need to direct this energy towards their government and fight for their own country instead of bringing their problems into America

Use this energy against their own government!. What is the US government doing about it? Get Biden out fast. Everyone knows Bidens' mind ain't right, now they're trying to take advantage of Obama and his puppet ?

This reporter says, “why are we seeing this right now.“ Are you kidding me? They’ve been flooding across our southern border for over two years now! It’s just getting worse and worse and nothing is done! Nothing! We should put 10% of our military on our southern border. This country is being invaded! Invaded! Terrorists are coming into this country. They’ve already caught many of them, but I’m sure they haven’t caught all of them. I’m sure those terrorists are going to kill massive amounts of Americans. What is wrong with our government? It’s about time CNN started to report on this. They should report on it every single day.

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,?

This is crazy. No one, the American people, can't find homes. And, jobs and the government are letting them get food stamps and health insurance. And,the government is hiding their heads in the sand.

The U.S. is such a worthless country. Our government is so trash too. We have so many issues and NOTHING is getting resolved. Mark my words, you can’t keep on pissing off your citizens like this. We’re all angry and tired and emotionally charged. Won’t be long until riots happen again and we’ll cut off the head of the snake.

Great now they get free government help and get a gas stations

This is a sad, sad situation!! They will get government help while our US veterans are homeless!! Shut that Border down!!!

We can't even get help from our own government. The only way Americans could get help with anything would be to give up citizenship leave the country then illegally come back in

They just want a better life for themselves and their children.. their country is in shambles, people starving, can't find jobs. They need to fight for leadership change unfortunately in that country they shoot you if you try to go against the government. With everyone struggling there's not much chance of overthrowing the government so they run to other countries where they think we can provide a better life. In the past I wouldn't have had an issue with this,. but our own issues have been getting worse and worse,.

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 ??☺️

I know they're looking for a better life but what exactly is it that they're hoping to get after they get here? Say 10% of them have family in the country that if they get to them, they can then be fed, clothed, and sheltered.\nOk so now the other 90% come across both illegally and in this case aggressively feeling entitled but without any resources of their own.\nAgain the question is what are they expecting to receive in the way of assistance once they're inside the U.S.?\nSection 8 hud housing has enough problems finding housing for low income housing insecure Americans. The public Healthcare system is completely maxed out as it is! U S. Department of Agriculture has instituted EBT cuts in many places and warn of future funding shortfalls!\nI'm a leftie, a definite progressive Democrat and agree with absolutely nothing as regards any GOP policies, save this!\n\nAgain, what exactly is it that these folks are expecting to be provided to them by the government of a foreign country when the U.S. Can't take care of its own people at this point?\nI'm sorry but there are previously earned just entitlements and there is the earned nothing entitlist attitude!\n\nYou will give to me because I demand it!

It's crazy that it so messed up where they live that they are willing to put themselves thru this...I don't really understand government&politics..But why won't these Countries invest into there country so there ppl will stay?America can't handle all this We are not what We use to be..We are getting weaker&more in debt be the seconds..The world need to come up with a plan to make this stop&Help these ppl live comfortably,in some form or fashion..

This is beyond sad. Mexico government can't get it together, and I believe the US keeps Mexico poor and desolate. But everyone can't enter the US. Otherwise, it will be another Mexico.

The more tax paying Americans pay for these mooches the more of a cut and grab the democrats make. They arnt getting the full sum the government is

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!

Hell there ain't nowhere to live I just going to be homeless once I get here. I'll be sleeping with her cousins foot in their mouth every night. And why should we pay taxes as Americans when they ain't going to have to pay taxes in the government's going to treat them better than they do us I say everybody should stop paying taxes cuz it's supposed to go towards helping our communities and our country and it's not. It's going towards helping everybody else. Everybody else that ain't pitched in

Hell naw! The government continues to ignore... it will only continue to get worse until complete anarchy ensues. No other reasonable outcome can be expected

I feel bad for the immigrants who are able to get into America. They have no idea that America is about to be judged by God with plagues, bank failure, civil war and martial law, food and water shortages, tyrannical government, mushroom clouds and invasion, earthquakes that cause California to go into the sea. Tsunami waves that will submerge west and east coast. Watch, they will leave and go back to their country once these things take place and Americans will start fleeing to Mexico instead.

I don’t care if they sneak in here. I care more about them getting housing assistance and welfare while I been living out a motel room for the last 3 years. We can’t stop them from coming, but we DEFINITELY can stop giving them any form of financial assistance or welfare.\n.\nShit, the simple solution is that. You sneak here, you can work here, but you getting taxed 33% on everything until you get your papers and no government assistance of any kind. This isn’t your government to be assisting you.

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 ?????

what happened to “trespassers will be met with deadly force” as an american if i storm a government installation id get shot, or prosecuted. why aren’t these illegals held to the same standard?

We should jus get it over with & make Mexico the 51st state of America. Right after taking out the cartel’s the Mexican military & their government. They are all in bed together anyway. Then we can have a mass migration south & not worry about getting taken advantage of. Jus a thought ?

South American government needs to get their shit together

What if the boarder guard start to shoot , then what ! Can’t try to over run and bombard people in their own country and if they over power the guards they can take their weapons, that definitely is not a good look ! There is a process that people have to follow and if the guard doesn’t stop them , then when would it stop because news travel fast and every other immigrants will head to that part of the boarder and rush in , can’t have all those people who have not been ID running a muck in the country because that would break down every day security because some of those people are criminals and others will turn into criminals just to be able to survive ! That is organized and orchestrated by the Republicans to embarrass , Biden government, that just showed that most republicans are not really patriots, they will break down the fiber of this country just to get their point across , they are using immigration to turn the American people against Biden government ! All that is happening because of Trump indictment ! Hmm ?

‼️Mexico just joined BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), an alliance of countries that are betting against the U.S. petrodollar. This happened about a week ago. Every country that threatens the US petrodollar gets attacked by us, even if the US makes up the reason to fight (FF). They need this to happen like this in order for them to fry their one world currency and one world government. This is either a set in their fake ass movie news bullshit or they encouraged a legit rush for the border so they can spice this shit up for their plans later. None of this shit be purely organic or coincidental. And they are ALL in on it, including our country; USA. Mfs be lyin and playin dangerous games with us. Pay attention!
