The funny things is that Republicans have been telling people that the borders are open and to come to the usa. This is also trump made, during his presidency he closed the border so these people have been waiting since he was president. We already have millions of undocumented immigrants waiting for a reform. It would be unfair for those waiting if all these people here get some type of legal status when they get in.

It’s heart breaking that these individuals are this desperate to leave their own country! Our country is going downhill faster than ever. But they still want to come here. Remember when we used to have leverage, and we could do things to get other countries to become better for their own people? I do. Why isn’t our government working on trying to keep Mexicans in their own country by negotiating trade deals, and making sure Mexico is being responsible of a leader of their own country as we are of ours? Oh that’s right because we haven’t been responsible. It’s all going pear-shaped and everybody’s at risk.

And here i am, in the middle of eastern europe, studied hard, saved up every penny i could, even learned to code , found a good coding job, full remote these days, im in spain now, the beach is in my view.. i managed to do all of those things in the past decade, and still i was rejected by the us embrassy every single year, that makes a total of 11 times so far, not a word as to why, just rejected.. tbh i no longer want to move to the states.. i started begging you guys at 18, im 29 now.. i could’ve invested my talents and work in the us, while paying taxes there, instead i work for a us company in a very cheap part of the world while paying a small fraction of taxes to my home country.. keep letting those guys in and avoid us.. soon enough you wont have anyone defending you from the issue’s because the people that make good money and pay high taxes are leaving to make space for the homeless shelters and to avoid being stolen from by the mob

Latin here, I came here legally but I can tell you that it was difficult as hell for my mom to bring me here, it took money and years for that, but I want you as a fellow citizen to understand their situation first, in Latin America you could be graduation from college and even with that having a good job it’s difficult sometimes, unlike here education in Latin America is not always something that all people can get and every time they vote for someone it becomes more trashier, housing for the poor doesn’t even exist, half of the country is corrupt and going outside you don’t who you may find, my brother needs to wait 7 years to become a resident (not citizen) he will be 30 something at that point, what the government should do is make the residency easier and I can tell you something like this wouldn’t occur that easily, my mom is a lawyer in my country and I can tell you the situation wasn’t easy, every three times a week there would be shooting outside my house, drug dealer was my neighbor, and at the age of 15 there would parents of two kids the sad part all this is normal, stopping it is imposible because it gets you kill, the police will kill you for doing a peaceful protest just to stop feminicide, wanting your kid to go outside without being scare something would happen to them, this people want peace and a job that is it and when your own country doesn’t even give you the right for that how could you live? Latin America is like living in the worst state in U.S multiply by 1000 and happening the same thing every day, riots or protest are imposible there because you know the police will never go the peaceful way, what this people are doing is wrong but they just want to live, it even surprise how much people hate their president here when in Latin America there hasn’t been any good president in decades. Before someone tells me something, like I say what they are doing is wrong and it’s painful to watch, something should not be happening in the first place but it is happening and I hope the situation gets better but like I say before saying something disrespectful or out of place to these people, understand their situation first

People voted for this..how is anyone not concerned about who the fuck is coming over? Yes, there are kids and families, BUT in that pool, there are also rapists, molesters, murderers, drug dealers, and many more horrific people...but we're just going to let them all in not knowing what's invited...we have these kind of problems already and now we are potentially adding more to it. People really need to stop and think about these things and not just an image of a family that wants freedom.

The problem is that garbage media in their countries. Just like CNN is garbage. They are all being told that the American borders are completely open for free entry with no problems by their countries. We need to hold news media and politicians . In their country and our own. This is all a political game being played on everyone! The most f@ck up thing. Is that this YouTube channel for CNN is pretending to not know why this is happening. THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND ARENT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PART IN THESE POLITICAL GAMES. CNN! YOU ARE PLAYING WITH PEOPLES LIVE AND PUTTING THEM INTO DANGER! SOONER THAN LATER! YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. JUST AS ALL THE POLITICIANS WILL PAY!!!

If you’d been honest about this invasion from the BEGINNING of Biden’s regime instead of covering it up, it wouldn’t be like this. This exact thing has been happening for more than TWO YEARS! We’ve tried and tried and tried to get MSM to be honest, and cover it. But no….y’all took the money and shut up. The MONEY was more important than the truth. It’s NOT just Venezuela either, it’s South Africa, Mauritania, China, Sudan, ….EVERYBODY is coming. Drug traffickers, sex traffickers, terrorists, and criminals. There’s no time to vet them, they just come. Some of these people don’t even have immigration court dates until 2027 and the latest one one I saw was 2035! Some don’t even get the paperwork for court, they just let them in en masse. Thank God Abbott finally saw some video that made him put the TX NG down there and get something in place to help stop them. This is a total mess, a total disgrace and egregious transgression on our Sovereignty. Biden is supposed to protect us, not allow an invasion. Pure and utter STUPIDITY and TREASON. Our immigration laws have been run through the shredder. They’re gone. I believe in LEGAL immigration, abiding by the laws and doing it the right, legal, and lawful way. Not this. No….I’m not a right wing hard case, I’m a somewhat conservative Independent. But I know right from wrong and I believe I have a moral compass to live by.

I came to the states when I was little unfortunately I had to start working I was 15 I worked in a restaurant so i could support my sick mother in my country then I learned English and moved into a different job I never had the opportunity to go to the school since Noone would supported me !! I fall in love with some US girls we have 2 kids she worked sometimes I never pushed her to do so ! I tried to fix papers but the lawyers took my money and never did nothing about it ! I got into a traffic incident I got a ticked and fine once I payed off I get caught and sent back to a place I should call home !! I don't know nobody here don't know the place anymore !! dangerous people crazy !! my kids abandoned in the states now probably their mother asking for help to the government? who knows the last thing I heard is she was selling what it used to be our properties! I don't have contact with my kids anymore ! is horrible then we have this people just going there and getting asylum??? not fare!

The fortune holder's of the world desire the people to war with each other. \nWhen the powers started naming their population checks world war 1 and world war 2 the people lost their chance.\nNow the fortunes tell us when to war and when to peace.\nThey want us to reduce our own population. We will have a triggered population reduction far bigger than what they got from their covid thing.

These people arent stupid. You see how aggressive they are towards these Border guards? Why dont they do this in their own country? Instead of demanding rights here in the U.S, they should do the exact same thing where they're from. They know the U.S are a bunch of push-over's in Biden's administration. Why? Because of his reelection coming up. WELL OUR SYSTEM IS DEFINITELY BROKE NOW !!!!! THANKS BIDEN AND YOUR HEAD OF HOMELAND SECURITY . ????

Why can’t the United Nations come together and come up with a physical solution for this people in their countries it’s sad that they have to struggle and go hungry but if we keep getting millions upon millions of people coming in then the economy here will collapse it doesn’t make sense there’s enough resources for everyone but when greed kicks in this happens the gap between poor and rich in the countries down is beyond huge your either dirt poor or dirty rich why can’t people do something .Another thing that pisses me off is if you can’t take care of yourself much at all why have so many kids I understand wanting to have a big family but not if you can’t take care of them

My people bn here 400 plus years cant get medical care or affordable housing but we got these immigrants flooding over here and having there babies free of charge and getting low income housing, amongst other things and there not even citizens and cant even speak English, im not for it because theres no way someone could go to there country and go to the front of the line. Shameful and i dont support it at all. I went to my post office recently and they had the nerve to employ a woman who couldnt even speak english at the post office counter, wtf is goin on.

Folks, I need to educate many for a second. When you immigrate to this country you DO NOT become a citizen when you get legal clearance. You can become a permanent resident at best which means you can live, work and do most other things here legally. You DO NOT get to vote or work in government agencies as a lawful permanent resident. To become a citizen you have to wait a minimum of 3 years, or more depending on your permanent resident status, to then apply for citizenship. You then apply for the citizenship application and if accepted the process requires you to take a test and go through a series of questions about U.S. history and government knowledge in an interview that you need to pass, before you are awarded citizenship. Through this process you are SUPPOSED to be committing yourself to the United States of America as someone who denounces your allegiance to your old country and is now pledging your allegiance to the U.S. This is now your home country and you treat it as such. You are now an AMERICAN, not a whatever from wherever that just lives in America. It should be a big deal and one to be proud of. I know people that have been here for 25 years as a permanent resident and they still have no desire to become a citizen. They have lived off of this country, raised families in this country, worked and benefitted from this country and still align with their old country and are completely amiss to what it means to become a U.S. citizen. There is a reason that only citizens are allowed to vote! Because you should have an allegiance to America and should vote accordingly and not be allowed to work in our governmental agencies for the same reason. Legal status and citizenship are NOT the same.

This makes me so sad, to see this many people placing themselves in harms way to come here. I don’t know how to fix this but things are getting worse, people need to survive. You can’t have a heart and witness the desperation of those less fortunate but you alone can’t save everyone?

There are many reasons and many who problems. You can’t just narrow this down to 1 of anything. One problem is for decades children were brought up to believe that when they turn 18 or 21 or when they get a full time job or graduate college it’s time to leave the nest . Why? So you can live the life of a bachelor or bachelorett? Party all night or get drunk and do most things you wouldn’t want your parents to know about. Pay outrageous rental fees for some place you’ll never own. Go into debt and in many cases spend years paying off student loans. Yeah, sounds like a good time. The habit should be if parents have room, stay home, save your money and allow your parents to help build that generational wealth. Pay a small rent to help out a little if you want to and your parents accept it. Some people , if they can marry and stay with their family, at least for a few years. This builds a stronger bond with parents and grandparents. The way the last 40 or 50 years has gone has destroyed family and their are many reasons why. Some of the European traditions are smart and we should never have turned away from them

The thing is, these people have no legal right to entry, regardless of their circumstances. 99% of those charging the boarder are economic migrants with no valid claim to asylum. Making it here (or past the boarder) doesn’t equal being able to stay here. The house will very likely flip to the Republicans in 2024. With even a possible super majority. As will the presidency. This means that most of these people will face mass deportation. And all their struggles to get here will have been for naught.

?Sad thing is, we are all in this together. We will all be migrants soon enough. These countries people are fleeing from were despaired by the same criminals destroying America. Most people are good and desperate for a decent life. Everything that is happening is deliberate.

my dad got deported on 2001 he was punished and he could not enter the country for 20 years so he stayed in mexico and now after 3 years of me tryng to get him a greencard and 15k spent on a lawyer finally got him in, and this people want to be here just like that? back in the day was different there was no social media mo smartphones anybody that came yo america had real struggles the lesst thing this people can do is learn english and come here by legal means cmon i now is not easy but people always want a quick fix for all their life problems. its all politics this country is going downhill very quickly and we need a good leader

Another thing we forget here in Canada is that the elite whites from America are invested in Canafa its no different. Just worse cause there is less black people. I jope more black Amercians migrate here and change the game. Now lets not forget there are some very few truly good white people. Lets not get blinded too much either but the truth remains.

Racism succeeds because, they practice it TOGETHER, in UNITY, without shame, fear or care. As long as we keep accepting it, there will be no end.\nNot that long ago, we acknowledged one another in public, had each other's back(without verbal communication) and gravitated to where ever black people convened.\nToday, we avoid eye contact with one another. We frown at one another(some women are notorious for this), we avoid one another and will get into a fight with one another faster than with a non community member.\nDespite all I have written above, I have come across some genuinely loving community members.\nLet us be GOOD to one another. Things will change for the better.

Sad that every self respecting human that can be isnt there in some capacity blowing these people away that are shitting on every legal migrant and naturalized and native born Americans right to live freely and comfortably in their country. But at least they do have nice new clothes and things to start with here as they invade leaving their own country in the shit for their patriots to defend and improve. \nYes we'll take your weak, your tired and your hungry. Nature will sort them accordingly.

You sad thing is I feel bad for a lot of these people especially those from Venezuela but America can’t take care of it’s own let alone 100s of thousands of migrants

The more than enough for everyone many can’t see that cause of all the bs our government put in our heads that how messed up humanity is we’re people can’t even do the the right thing

Get those people out of here this is America not racist why come in like that ? Now things are going to be worse I see Texas handling their business . California Los Angeles looting going on we might be going into marshals law. And with Russia and china together.

Why don't they start a Anti-Racism/ Discrimination thing in Canada for Black people??? Start - up a Union in Canada.......

Same thing is happening in the U.K people who are mostly responsible for their own bad choices in life think they can live where ever the hell they feel like

Wait.... The democrats said there is no border crisis. Remain calm people. Mayorkas says by the numbers he has there is no problem... Hmmm Me thinks he might be wrong.\nThis bad thing this is only one point of entry... Bet the Dems wish they would have finished the wall and had the military guarding the border

We need President Trump back!!! Biden and his people in office are to chicken shit to get things in order.

Thank you liberals and democrats for letting this happen! My mom and dad came from Cuba when my dad wanted out he asked the Cuban government he didn’t sneak across the border like these idiots are doing and the Cuban government put him in a concentration camp for 3 years cutting sugar cane to work for his freedom then he got it and we flew to Spain where he worked his ass off for another 3 years to finally come to the states and when I grew up I gave thanks my joining the Marine Corps and defend this country as a thanks for letting us in and we been working our asses off ever since never once asking for public assistance or taking from this country we pay our taxes and do things the RIGHT WAY! We need Trump back in office we kick our vets out and let these people enter our country and go in our hotels screw that!

My brothers and sisters Black Peoples, Things are going to get VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD. GET READY FOR REAL DISCRIMINATIONS. EDOMITES ARE GOING TO SHOW THEIR TRUE COLOUR. Be blessed and May Yah strengthen us

My Thing Is..How As Black People All Around The World Is Going To Start Helping Each Other And Overcoming This/The Hate..I've Been Through This Where I'm From ..& I'm Very Creative..Talented With & In Whatever It Is I'm A Part Of.❤???

One more thing. The reason I said the GTA is that there is the most amount of Black people in Canada here. We have strengths in numbers and power.

That’s all on Biden and his puppet masters. Anybody that has died and will die there blood will be on Biden’s crews hands. God knows. God sees. God will act. God wants everybody to see what evil looks like. Chaos, confusion and Oppression covered up with lies and deception. Stay close to God. People will be punished. People will be held accountable. Nobody… I mean nobody is getting away with anything. Gods timing is right on time. God is just and he will not be mocked. Don’t mistake his mercy, kindness and long suffering or his delay for weakness. God is doing things in a way where no man will claim glory. All glory goes to God. The one that created everything. Nothing created is greater than the creator.

This is the sign of things to come people. Arm yourselves. Next Biden policy is going to force you to start housing these people in your homes. Watch!!

This is all happening on purpose we are the last generation most likely according to scripture things are going to get crazy and we cannot lose our love for people in humanity strictly because of what the media wants to show us they want us to be angry they want us to hate

The one good thing is people are more willing to highlight the issue today and make an effort to find a way to resolve it...

I am a senior citizen and I've been trying not to ask this question I've been trying not to put it into words that I'm about to that is what the f*** is wrong with white people answer the disease isn't a genetic malfunction what the f*** is it I might think it's just a Personnel or persons there it is a hole call Edison home system it makes me wonder what the f*** is wrong with white people? How can they get Joy Glee and satisfaction out of doing evil Chehalem bean and depressing thing is it mental illness?

desperate people do desperate things

I rem everyone was bashing trump for renewing title 42, and now that Biden does it no one’s saying a thing. Funny how that works. There was a reason why trump wanted to do it and this is one of the reasons. He could barely take care of our own people how is he going to help all these others?

And the Sad thing is that The Whites in Canada, Australia, The U.S, New Zealand, England etc are all living on someone else's land. They are parasites. They have never in a history of mankind settled on any barren or virgin land like we Africans and Native Americans have done. So it makes sick that the people whi are not from the land can boldly tell someone go back to your country. They Whites have absolutely no shame!!!

Oh CNN...you can't talk. You perpetrated all the Biden administration lies. You are partially to blame for people believing these things weren't already happening. You demonized people in border towns.

All I can say to this sista is Thank you because folks she is speaking the truth. Canada the country as a whole has high levels of anti-blackness not just in Edmonton and not just by white folks. The worst thing is the others minorities or so called POC groups ally up with white against black people and it is a nationwide issue that we definitely need more people speaking up about their experiences. In addition to the fact that even Canadian Descendants of Slavery get discriminated against from our own black brothers and sisters who have come from other countries.

no surprised WS is Global and these WS ressesive genetic gentile always stay on CODE, SO our people need to move a different way and do the same thing and separated ourself from there system of WS.

This is Biden(the old man) fault. He has to be the worst president in century. Why can’t he be a leader and tell these people to stop coming to the United States. We don’t have the resources for you. American citizens are having economic problems. Biden please man up and do the right thing for Americans.

black people need to follow ,and support the thing we might have going on, cause the other races might not ,maybe a limited small amount . if we don't connect we will never grow, a puzzle will never be completed if it divide, \n \n \n \nReply

I know you guys always talk about white supremacy and what effects black people but I bet you you won’t condemn and talk about those black Americans/African Americans who join the U.S. military to spread deaths and destruction around the world and advance and strength white supremacy chokehold on humanity and especially Africa. You guys join the enemy to advance the same thing you guys complain about 24/7!

She is preaching truth. I got people who live there and they said the same thing.

This is the chickens coming home to roost, and the USA deserves it.\n\nIf the USA didn't impose sanctions, embargoes, then attempt coups and assasation attempts in Venezuela, then these people would stay at home.\n\nLook at Saudi Arabia; it's much more corrupt, undemocratic, and oppressive than Venezuela, but the USA trades with it and allows it to sell oil on the open market, so it can use the income to provide a livelihood for its people. \n\nVenezuela isn't allowed to do that, so the chickens come home. This is a result of your foreign policy. Leave Venezuela alone and things will be fine.

Wow, spokesperson wonders why this is happening -- c'mon you stupid b*tch, think about who's in charge of our country. This is being done intentionally by our current administration. People always think US is the place to be, maybe for immigrants doing it legally. I live in Florida and there are American mothers and fathers raising their kids in tents in the woods here because they can't afford to buy or rent a home, despite both of them working full time. Yet, these anarchists are coming in and getting benefits asap -- homes, food stamps, medical care etc.... Damn shame what our country has turned into. Lastly, it's a shame because there are so many immigrants here trying to do the right thing.

I'm a manager of a family from Nicaragua, and they work harder than a lot of my American crew members. Central American people are some of the hardest workers and just want to work and raise their families in a safe, wholesome environment.\nI love the men and women I train. They want to learn more of the safety procedures and how to do things by policy, instead of cheating, they work hard and very fast, they learn English very fast and they love to teach me Español. They're some of my favorite workers and favorite people in general in my workplace. I'm working on getting a couple of them promoted to management with me.
