You don’t have to be conservative to think illegal border crossing is a problem. Amnesty is the legal option for people wanting to cross. I welcome all who go through the amnesty process. Illegal entry is unacceptable.

For everyone saying that they feel bad for these people and they just want to come and work and escape oppressive governments does not even understand that those reasons are irrelevant. If all these migrants where good people and there was enough space to house and feed them with burdening the tax payer great. But that's not reality, a lot of these people cross illegally, break into people's houses, rob, rape, kill, etc...If any of the media even bothered to go and interview anyone from the border towns and cities, they would realize how angry and frustrated they are, parents no longer send their children outside to play because some random people running through their yard steal and break into their houses, but this doesn't get reported on because it doesn't fit their narrative of these desperate migrants just want to work and live freely.

Convenient that the camera crew was here for this, on both sides of the barbwire, while they enforce border laws for 30 seconds. Technically this is more of a campaign commercial for Joe then any kind of truth. I am sure every one of those people, at a minimum, got their feet on US soil that day. Many probably still here. 1 in every 60 people in this country have illegally crossed our border in the last 2 1/2 years. Do the math, it's intentional.

We have people in poverty choosing to have children while crossing the border in search of a better life. STOP HAVING KIDS.

Because the GOP has been using the Border as all types of propaganda to get their base excited about migrants crossing the Border. People from other countries hear all this nonsense they're talkin about open borders oh, of course we're going to have hordes of people coming in because they think it's real. I blame Trump

Why don't you report that they didn't get in. Drama, drama, drama. That is what the mainstream media is all about. Latest update. Border crossings are down 70%. Stop and get the facts. \nThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that illegal crossings at the U.S. Southern border had decreased by more than 70 percent since the Title 42 COVID-19 expulsion policy ended on May 11. \nYou people love leaving pertinent information out. Just stop!

⁠ it is not our responsibility to take care of these immigrants. They need to fix the issues in their own country before coming here to cause more issues in our country. These immigrants take jobs, they take housing, they take food, and 90% of them don’t pay a dime in taxes. That is unacceptable. I feel more compassion for my people who are struggling then people trying to illegally cross our borders.

Close the border hire people to pew pew anyone who crosses it. Also make it easier for people to come the right way and obtain green cards.

We need to hold Joe responsible for this happening. We’re having millions and millions of people crossing our border they planned this this just didn’t happen. It was a plan. I remember like eight months ago governor Newsom, the joker from California he went over to a lot of these companies on vacation was gone for months so it’s planned.

My wife of 32 years came to the United States legally in 1987, we met in 1990 and got married one year later, she has fully integrated as an American. My wife is the first person to tell you that the illegal aliens coming over the border is wrong on so many levels, first is we do not know who is coming over that border, second it is not impossible to emigrate to the United States, it just takes time, effort, and a clean record. These people crossing the border have no respect, come for free handouts, nearly all of them commit crimes once here, from murder, prostitution, drug trafficking, theft, child trafficking, assaults, and robberies. This is an attempt by the Democrats to create a Socialist Marxist System in our country, the illegal entry into this country has got to stop, and Democrats must be held responsible for doing this to the American citizens and people who came here legally. This is about accountability in our government.

this is very ugly, like invading other people's countries, if one day I'm going to emigrate in a country I'll try the best way possible, not crossing the border like that. lol

I’m an independent that usually votes Democrat, but the border should be a nonpartisan issue.\n\nAmerica is not like Europe. European countries are the sizes of states, and they have the European Union to cross govern.\n\nAmerica does not have a relationship with Canada or Mexico like any of the EU countries.\n\nWe cannot be letting this happen. I feel for the people suffering in Mexico, I truly do. But mass illegal immigration is not the solution.\n\nNo matter how bad things get in America, I will never just walk over to Canada and demand a job.\n\nOur societies have to function on a system, and that system demands legal immigration.\n\nWe have to do something, but when it’s a bridge like this…I don’t know what ethical solutions there would be. \n\nMaybe an electrical fence? The thought of a child being electrocuted because they were pushed into that fence is devastating to me; it would be heartbreaking to see anyone injured that way.\n\nWe can’t hurt these people, that’s not right. But we have to find some way of keeping them from crossing illegally.\n\nA wall, a mote, an electric fence—honesty, I don’t see how any of those would keep people out…\n\nIt’s just an awful mess. Forget Democrats versus Republicans. This is an issue every American should recognize.

Do you mean the crossing the border to Mexico because we’re not forget the half of US territory is from us? we Not agree believe in borders so they can all cross the border Mexican people give them permission??

Why are they not opening fire? I'm not sorry for your situation as we have problems here too. If you want to act like fools charging the gates to our border, that is an act of war and should be treated as such. One warning shot would have made them stop. If they didn't stop you shoot one person. If that doesn't make them stop, you start taking ppl out. We need to protect our borders, protect them from criminals, drug mules, and the like. That means we need to do a background check before anyone can cross that border. Not letting them in, giving them a cell phone, giving them a place to live, not allowing them to work while they sit there waiting 2 years for a court date. Its beyond ridiculous and that is what the Democrats are doing. If you are cool with that, then you are an issue and should second guess your own citizenship in this country because we the people are always first, no one else. Our government has forgotten that for quite some time, but amazingly Trump actually was bringing it back. Thats coming from someone who hated Trump, voted for Biden, and regretted my vote in March of Biden getting in office.

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

Stop giving them free, housing money and food, and they will not cross the border. Take care of all of our military people first who need help…..

I am not against inmigrantes because I am one as well, but really this is not the way to do it. As I can see here this people is fighting hard to cross the border to get a better life , then why not to do the same in your own countries to fight for your rights of have a better life. I came in different circumstances when I married an American citizen, and I am the only one in my family to live in USA, the rest of my family live in my country of origin ( in Latin America) . Fight hard but use that energy to fight in your own country and the world will be better if all of you get rid of bad politics in your own countries . I know you all can do it because I see in this video people fighting hard so then you can do the same in your countries. ?????

America can't house all the world's unhappy people. America didn't start off the way it is today. It had to be built. People need to be more nationalistic and fight for their country. The millions that illegally cross our border every couple months could fix their nation's if they put in the work.

I have such mixed emotions about the immigrants I know that they should not be allowed to come in as that large of a group into our country because we have enough problems right now taking care of ourselves here in the United States I know that there's a lot of reasons why they should not be able to cross the border but at the same time I feel really sorry for them, look at them, they're crying they're starving they're hungry they have no home have nothing to go back to they have no job they have nothing and they're in the thousands .... what do we do?? what are we supposed to do, it just driving me crazy to know that many people are suffering like that but they can't come into the country too many of them... I think countries like this need mandatory birth control because if a country overpopulated self Beyond its means there's not going to be jobs then people need birth control to control their population better ❤❤❤

Any other border in the world they would have shot them people dead but America is free to the immigrants and trying to in prison all Americans They’re trying to do away with Americans and fill the country up with illegal immigrants pretty sad when you have people from Iraq Iran Baghdad Syria crossing the Mexican border Nigerians are crossing the Mexican border by the thousands unbelievable

Mexicans or any Latin American people who are border patrol officers are major CUCKS. Literally Uncle Ruckus. SMH \n?? ❤️\nBut also the people crossing aren’t any good either. Go through the process as everyone else, don’t be a douche, cmon.

That's crazy! Had that been black people crossing the border they would have upon fire on all of them. The people who control this country want this to happen. Americans need to wake up and stop this.

America has fought HARD for centuries to achieve freedom. We’ve shed infinite amounts of blood for the rights we have. Freedom isn’t free. It takes centuries to get to that. People think it sucks to have to spend ten years becoming a legal citizen here, well count yourself lucky that you didn’t have to shed any blood, lose any family members, fight against an oppressive enemy for your rights, or lose your house in a battle for a free country. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look up American history. Count how many battles were fought; how many wars; how many people died; how many Americans became POW’s on our own land during the Civil War. Look how hard it’s been. Look how hard it is now. We never stop fighting for what we want. Freedom takes work. America isn’t some island paradise. It never has been. We all live on the same earth. We all experience hardship. And there’s no amount of money, illegal border crossing, or anything else that can keep us from that harsh reality. In life we’re going to suffer. That’s just how it is. Stop thinking that illegally crossing a border is somehow going to solve all problems. It won’t. The grass isn’t greener on the other side just because. Bloodshed makes that grass green: Sacrifice. Hard, laborious work; and centuries of time.

How many countries did they cross to get here close the Mexican border and get Mexico do their job and not haul these people up to our border.

I’m not sure when entitlement to illegally cross US borders became so high. I can’t fathom what these people went through or what they even had to go through to even reach the border, I’m sure they’re desperate and famished but there must be some other solution than just opening the borders.

Help stop the invasion of the United States! I don’t care what your political views are, we need to take care of our people first. Not some other country’s people. Stop funding the war in Ukraine and stop these illegal immigrants from crossing our borders.

So we back to this are we? Big migrant scare gives target to Hispanic people gives reason for right wing to make rights disappear privileges harder to enjoy. All because they know the gerrymandering isn't gonna save them like they hope. Get ready for the usual go back to your country stronger borders unlawful crossing checks harrasing of browns for a status check. Get ready for more set up shootings with rifles easy to obtain for distraction for target hate. Get ready for this to not be the talking point at least a year after elections are over and instead be saved for new election's.

We need Texas National Guard at the border crossings barricades Bobwire everything to stop the stupidity that the Democrats are causing just like everything that they have done. They don’t give a damn American people wake up how much more money how much more time how much more killings wake up America cast your vote get these people out of office.

I work on the border wall in San Diego currently. The people that are crossing and claiming asylum don’t look like they need help. Nice clothes and recording everything with new phone like they’re vlogging.

This is man made. Organize crime including news media outlets  design this. Massive invasion illegal migrant crossing border. These illegal l migrant are being use as a political controversial. These illegal migrant want to be use by organization. Knowing their people will have great future  employment opportunities with companies, corporation as compensation for their efforts. This is all a game. \n\n\nThis is man made. Organize crime design invented this. These people are protected by the organization, companies, corporation. Two types of people live in Houston Texas. Black African and hispanic/ mexican/ latino. These people are design as a  front line soldiers defending and being use by the organization, companies, corporations.  When black African and hispanic/ mexican/ latino take full territory control all companies and employment industry in Houston Texas including they are out to destroy everyone else life. Woman are being forced to alter their life  marry black African man. Live or die your choice. \n\n\nBe aware. Every single person in this planet life are in danger. There are market in human killing. This is why is happening. Organization, companies, corporations design their  soldiers black African and hispanic/ mexican/ latino. These people are  being use out to destroy and   kill any person fail to corporate. Organization, companies, corporation made these people  millionaire as a way of compensation.

Man I see white people and black people there. That’s another politician that payed people to go to the border and cross. Lol ? would be funny if it was true.

Imagine if these people rushed their government buildings and law offices like this: they wouldn’t need to illegally cross borders and flee their homes, if they did.

I live in the border and I see Venezuelan people everyday walking in the streets, with no house, or a car, just walking with old clothes and shoes. They want to get out of poverty and get a job and they are desperate. And me too.\n\nI’m a Mexican who has the American Dream too but I will cross the border in a legal way. Not like that. And my mother has a shop where the majority of our customers are from Venezuela and Haiti

You know what I hope Mexico joins a military alliance with China and recoves what it lost to the USA. The USA fought for this, over 1,000 years of history shows that no amount of anything can stop people from crossing El Bravo, over 1,000 years. And since the end of The Great North American War, not cowboys, not police officers, not border walls or stupid laws have managed to keep anyone out. Ron DeSantis can become president and station the entire army at the border and it would be a massive failure. Because the truth is that the USA is a fake country, and the reason for all this talk about the border is trying to reassure the USA the it is a real country.

All of those people that cross illegally are detained and returned. Don't be fooled by the scare tactics they use every single time it's getting close to elections. Then if they win, you hear nothing about it for three years. Immigration, gays, abortion and police funding or defunding are the tactics these idealess Republicans use only when it's time to vote. Or did illegal immigration stop under trump? Or LGBTQ community? Or abortion? It's all bullshit. They don't show the days and nights when literally no one is crossing the border.

My parents immigrated to this country LEGALLY. It took them years to get permanent residency. These people are not above the law. They should fight for their country with the same passion they’re trying to cross the border illegally. It’s NOT fair to those who waited in line to enter this country LEGALLY.

If you don't say that we should bring everyone of those people in here and put them in a hotel and pay for thier food and shelter your a freaking racist. I swear I mean take the shirt off your back america I mean off the backs of the homeless vets. I mean what the hell did they ever do for this country. I mean these people are willing to jump through barbed wire to get free well everything what did anyone here do to deserve anything here. ? I mean they are going to pay so many taxes I'm sure it will probably balance the budget and America won't default and continue to fall into a recession. I mean what we need is hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of undocumented people here eating our taxpayers dollars. Cmon isn't that the American way. Work hard all your life to give it away to some illegal who came here. Nothing makes me more proud than watching the govt take all my shit and give it to people who are really worthy of it. Who come from countries where thier govt makes it almost impossible to live so I would happily give all my material possession away to help like 9 or 10 Mexicans. Granted my house burnt down last week but the shirt on my back it's all yours I don't even need it in most states and local convience stores below the state of Virginia. What we need in this country is voters too. I mean all the people who died of covid who's going to fill the voter polls if the democrats don't give these refugees a free life. I'm certainly not going to sit around and let the govt tell us that we need a wall to stop anyone from going anywhere. I mean walls. They are just going to hop and a boat and come right over. Granted you may have to go through customs but that's what I'm saying you need to be able to go and do what ever you want in any country at anytime. Who's to tell me where I can and can't roam on planet earth and what govt agencies will or will not provide me with care for my unborn child. We need a revolution and it start with walls. I'm going to start with my bedroom wall. And work my way up the ladder. I say no to all walls. Even the ones in swimming pools. I say if your a red blooded patriotic American you need to start planning a trip to the border to tear down that exist racist wall that is keeping those south Americans, Chinese, Russian, and Romanian refugees from coming here with ease. The cartel may not be happy with this but we need to make sure that every person from any country no matter what the situation can freely cross any border at any time. It only makes sense.

If Trump was still president he would’ve let this people flow right over the border into the US without hesitation, illegal crossings were the all time highest when he was in office. Thankfully the Biden administration has actually done things to stop the crossings, or else we would be seriously fucked.

F*** that Hispanic Patrol border puto today when our people cross we going to help and get to this side f*** the government f*****-up police and border patrol agents we together they stand nothing against

We need better immigration policy. These illegal swarms are unsafe. Build a wall to protect the border from illegal crossing, make people cross at ports, streamline deportation and asylum requests and staff up the courts.

I wonder how much of this could be resolved if we decided to pull back senseless embargoes that aren’t achieving policy objectives. Let Venezuelans and Cubans, for example, rule their nations as they wish and stop punishing them for regimes not politically aligned with the USA. It’s this bs that people like Putin use to justify their injustices abroad given that the USA insistes on a global rules-based order in which she alone sets the rules. Many, not all of, these people wanting to cross the border are coming to people who can house them. Many have family already in the USA. Besides, we are seeing the chickens coming home to roost after years of failed US intervention in Central and South America. Smell the historical facts; wake up America.

I’m truly sorry there are tears because these people have come a long way and were lead to believe—due to the liberal open-border policies of the current U.S. regime—that their border crossing experience was assured, that it was in fact a done deal … and further, that they would be showered with free lodging, free food and medical care, baby formula, new phones, and a monthly stipend … JUST for crossing into the United States illegally. That Joe Biden —who doesn’t even acknowledge all of his OWN grandchildren—was somehow (because it’s true if you believe it, right?) their long-lost and hitherto unknown grandfather, their abuelo and dispenser of largesse, wide smiles, and hair-sniffs.\n Why did he throw his arms wide and ask you to come hither, then, if he didn’t really want you to come in once you got here?\nPerhaps the capriciousness of old age, of ?dementia, of the intense pressures of ill-gotten high office and a forced recognition of the tears of those whose families have fallen prey to the criminal element ever-present among border-crossers?\n Why? You want MORE reasons? \nBecause the man needs VOTES and the country needs extreme disruption (as well as the impoverishment of existing social programs of Americans who will NOT vote for him) in order to increase his own brand of “law” enforcement martially throughout the nation and he’s gotta PREPARE—y’know? \n I am certain of Joe Biden’s sorrow that you were inconvenienced. After all, you did feel it was your “right” to get in, and a few short weeks ago Joe would have agreed with you. But timing is everything in this current business of dirty politicking and unfortunately you missed the unannounced cut-off. Anyway, this is President Biden’s own way of establishing what he likes to call “equity,” and isn’t it beautiful? Again, the President would like to convey his sympathies for your present inconvenience, and if you are ever in the area again in the future, please attempt to stop by. Perhaps at that time it will be a more propitious moment to receive you properly. \n Bye, now. Do remember that Kamala and Joe love you. Be safe!

I don’t want to send messed up, I come from Mexican dissent, I know these people want to live a better life give their kids a better life. And I know they’re poor can’t afford documentation to get a visa and then apply for a citizenship. It’s hard to get. I understand my parents went through this but it did it the right way. But I don’t agree that they should be bomb rushin the border. And putting the kids in danger. Because it’s just not a Paso that they have a cross they still have like three other check points one going Deming Nm The other one is by Las Cruces or T or C NMI \nAnd the other ones by a white sounds nm

they're invading the country why don't we have open fire on these people invading the US by the hundreds and thousands at a time not seeking Asylum but illegally crossing the border and if anybody has a problem with open fire on these people would you would you welcome them into your house if hundreds of them just pushed through your door not even asking not even knowing the laws or rules to just run through all your things no in America We Stand our ground

While other migrants come into the country through legal process, patiently waiting for their turns, took tests inorder to be accepted here. Yet, here we see these people just crossing the border without respect of the laws of the country they’re entering. It’s mind boggling.

This is 100% an issue with Communism. These aren't Mexicans trying to cross the border. It's Venezuelans because communism cares only about the government and not the people

Venezuelans are like Cuban's. They know the horrors of Communism. This terrifies Democrats and Joe Biden, so they are the people not allowed to cross the border. Once allowed to vote, they vote Republican for freedom and independence.

The U.S. is the only fully developed country in the entire known world that \n•DOES NOT• \njust immediately open fire on ppl that cross our Borders and then stay in our country like this... \nILLEGALLY & WITHOUT ANY PROPER LEGAL DOCUMENTATION \nto even •BE• within our Borders.... \nin order to drop & kill these kinds of people where they flippin stand once they place one single foot on OUR side of the Border soil. \n\nEvery other fully developed country and some 3rd world still UNDERdeveloped countries??.....\n●DO, and WILL INDEED● \nalways have constant patrols and armed guards all along their Borders \n●THAT WILL● \nimmediately open fire on your sorry @$$ in order to\n ●KILL YOU●\nthe very moment that you dare to take your very first step to place a single foot on their soil ●ILLEGALLY● .... without you •having• and already •showing• a Border Patrol Guard your proper LEGAL documentation in order for you to enter that country through the proper legal procedures & policies. \n\nBULLSH!T just like this where you now have a bunch of ppl that dare to be. openly rushing across our U.S. Borders to enter and then stay & live in this country\n ●ILLEGALLY AF●\nbecause they already well know that there are absolutely no serious consequences for them doing so, much less any real danger of these ppl ever actually being \n•deported back• \nacross our Borders once they get here anymore??..... \n●DOES NOT● \nhappen in any other country that actually \n●DOES● have \nSECURED BORDERS & ARMED BORDER GUARDS... that ●DO● use their weapons to actually\n ●ENFORCE● \ntheir own countries \nBorder Crossing Laws. ?‍♂️

Is anyone really wondering why the sudden influx of Chinese illegal aliens? With all the dealings Biden has with China , all the money paid to Biden's from China over the years and all the farm land China has been purchasing around the country. All these countries sending thousands of their people giving explicit instructions on how to invade, many countries sending their criminals to the US to cross at the border. Those countries are strategically placing their cells for a major event and hostile takeover.

Start making mexico deal with these people put troops at the border and Mexico will start killing people trying to cross the border c'mon Mexico help us out by punishing people trying to use your country to enter the US illegally
