These people just want to have a better life for themselves and their families . They’re desperate to get out bc of All the violence. We all know what goes on there. Cartels run the government as well \nHowever there are legal ways to enter. It should be the same for them as we do as a nation to help other countries like we have so far. Letting in those affected by war. It shouldn’t be any different for Mexican. .

They need to handle shit in their own country. There’s no reason they can’t emulate our ways. Goods things are usually difficult to get. Start a revolution like we did way back against our tyrannical government idk lol. But this ridiculous crowd mob is not how I want people entering my country. Go through the process and get in legally.

They need to pass an amendment that they get no welfare, free housing, or medical insurance. They’re not entitled to enter or receive anything from Americans and they’ll pass 7&8 countries when they’re supposed to go to the first country they come to. People should come in legally not just think they can invade illegally. There’s no way they can vet all these people and this president is endangering Americans. Also we don’t want America looking like a slum.

Bus them to D.C., California, Chicago, and New York. They should be welcomed with open arms. If they don’t want to go there, get them started on the paperwork to enter legally.

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.

Just come to US legally.Why some social media and influencers encourage people enter America ilegal?All countries has immigration laws!The US always welcome foreigners because is a country founded by immigrants but LEGALLY!

Letting them in would not only hurt Americans, but would also be a slap in the face of MILLIONS of legal immigrants who are waiting in line to enter the country. Protect our borders!!!

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 BS IF YOU CAN'T ENTER LEGALLY THEN GO HOME ...I SAY GAS EM...PEPPER SPRAY...FLASH BANG...VENISWALA IS FULL OF RAPISTS,MURDERS, CRIMINALS OF ALL WALKS TRYING TO ENTER OUR BOARDERS STOP THEM !!!

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. ?‍♂️

Listen if we don’t do something about this our dream land soon will became a third world country us as Americans we need to come together and stop this illegal activity on my eyes ? everyone is welcome to America to enter but the legal way why those people don’t do the same with their own government they coming from smh nyc is soon to become a third world country city because this bs my point is USA need to be republicans no matter what God I miss president trump

Why are we seeing this right now? It happens every day. Not always this bad but they try and cross in droves every day. Hello? Where you been CNN? Wake up! Follow the legal way to enter and we don't have a problem with that. This is illegal entry. Not gonna happen. Good job Joe! F Joe Biden.

There is a system in place to enter the US legally. It's not perfect. However, the US political parties are not willing to change it. Biden should face a tribunal for his crimes against humanity.

Not a US citizen but this is madness why all these people trying to enter this way..They can apply legally and get entry..No country can sustain if people just pack their bags and show up at their borders..I hope US does all it can to not let all these people ..

THOSE OF US THAT WAITED 5 YEARS TO ENTER LEGALLY, JUST GOT SLAPPED IN THE FACE.

We're seeing this, because the Biden Administration makes foreigners think our borders are open. They're not doing squat to protect Americans. It's not just families trying to come in. It's the cartels & criminals as well. There are legal ways to enter and become citizens.

There are millions of undocumented Immigrants in the US that have been living here for decades… they file taxes, no crimes, and yes I understand they are not here “legally” but now these people are just entering the US and getting everything?? Work permit, social security…. Something needs to be done.

Joe Biden always said he didn’t like trump maki g people enter the legal way so this is Biden’s America

Now we need Trudeau to get rid of all the illegal entry people being housed and paid by Canadian citizen tax dollars. Stop providing hotel accommodations for people that entered Canada illegally. Take them to a legal border crossing,and process them like anyone else. Trudeau should be arrested and charged, for assisting illegal entry into Canada, and for providing assistance to illegals in the country.

No illegals!! No illegals! Enter legally ONLY!!!! No illegals!!!!!!!

This is exactly why we should give them a legal way to get in and have them enter the country properly we're an entire country of immigrants let them in if they have the money to pay coyotes they have the money to come to America

This is infuriating. the arrogance of these people to just enter a country because THEY WANT to disregarding any lawful process. im Speaking as a LEGAL immigrant who waited patiently, followed all the laws of the United States to become a legal resident and eventually naturalized American citizen.

I have no problem with people coming here but do it legally us Americans aren't tryin to keep paying for all of you and none of you pay your fare share of taxes yo for real what the fuck type time are these dems on you know how dangerous that is do you understand how easy it is for Chinese or Russian splinter cells to enter the country like that do you know how easy it would be for them to blend in seeing that we're a country of multiple races of of people none of you think about that do you and it time for America to worry about its own backyard and mind our fucking business and get politicians out-of-office that have personal ties with other countries as far as personal profit gain

Even if you entry you would be deported back just enter America legally and your fine

Over 15 million have crossed over guarded entry points so far. Many more millions, under the radar, have crossed the river border. Guided by Coyotes who often load the men traveling in family groups with drugs. They hold the rest of their family as hostages until the men return with confirmation of delivery. The women are often raped in the process. Young ladies are often seperated and taken for sex trade. Those unwilling are typically killed and left to rot.\nThe Biden administration is responsible, eliminating the due process of immigration, where by all who want to enter US, must do so legally.

Keep them in the states. We don't want them in Canada. Enter legally the right way. This is planned biden administration bullshit.\n\n (And my parents are from South America snowflakes.)

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

People in america are hardly surviving themselves ,why bring in more people? More importantly people who brings in no economic gain for the country ,also people should know the difference between illigal and legal migration. Also knowing this america should stop talking about imagration of illegal muslims in some countries in europe ,they don't join other richer muslim countries and cross 2 or 3 countries and illegally try to enter some countries. .and usa be like hey thats bad ..lol mind your own damn business and look into your own border problems

This is an invasion...I am a first generation immigrant and this pisses me off, my family spent years trying to enter legally and then you have these invaders trying to enter

These fkn dirt ppl ain’t taking us serious when we tell them they can NOT enter the U.S. and claim ASYLUM and take legal residence within minutes because u have HUMAN RIGHTS!!! FUCK NO!!! Before y’all come running and crying over here, y’all NEED to take dis shit up to YOUR OWN FKN GOVERNMENT and bring all ur drama to YOUR GODDAMN PRESIDENT!!! Ask YOUR LEADER of YOUR COUNTRY for PROTECTION and a BETTER LIFE!!! Why should AMERICA help you when you extort, kidnap and torture AMERICANS (mostly tourists), especially our WOMEN and CHILDREN!!! Without MERCY or REMORSE, but with CRUELTY and ENJOYMENT, you VIDEOTAPE CUTTING OFF the HEADS of MY FELLOW AMERICANS and POST IT ON THE INTERNET!!! And now u say we AMERICANS have a DUTY to PROTECT YOU and YOUR FAMILIES?!! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUR FAMILIES!! And FUCK YOUR GODDAMN COUNTRY!!!\nTo ALL of those ppl who are trying to force their way thru our border patrols…. We will NOT welcome you to America with smiles, hugs and flowers… but instead we’ll greet you with LEAD, COPPER and GUN POWDER!

Actions speak louder than words. \nTheir actions confirm they have no respect for rules/others who’ve been waiting before them in a legal manner, nor for law enforcement or our Country. All who’ve attempted or entered this way need permanently banned from citizenship and immediately deported. \n\nThey’ve displayed the opposite character we’d want here. This is not how my or other families immigrated to earn citizenship. Send them back and keep them on a permanently banned list for breaking our laws, make it clear no benefit of ever trying.

the American are suffering to a lot of things imagine if this people get here damn. and for my story took me 15 years to move here in the US from Philippines ?? i move here legal this people want to enter freely

No what's sad is that none of them understand they can legally enter just by following the rules there's no need in all the violence all you got to do is learn basic history of America I mean it's very simple their government should tell them or ours I mean it's dumb

The amount of immigrants I see illegally enter and cross into El Paso are insane. I know this from living right next to it all. We are talking at least once a week seeing 8+ individuals at once or even more. . . Women, Men, young Teens and even children. . . They enter our homes to find a safe haven and flee from border patrol that is roaming the streets and it’s a constant battle of keeping your home safe from people that may or may not be good people. It’s unfortunate. My grandfather immigrated to the US from Mexico years ago and did so legally. He established our family here and any other relatives since have crossed legally and obtained citizenship. It’s a hard and long process but it’s necessary.

Some of those could be thieves, rapists, murderers, terorrists. Thats why we need people to enter the US LEGALLY.

Americas legality issues don’t apply when your risking it all to flee from death. When your livelihood is threatened, deprived or void you’ll do anything to survive. So, for understandable reasons they should enter legally, but who wouldn’t rush everything when there’s nothing left to go back to?

As a native Venezuelan who legally immigrated to the United States, served in the Navy for 22 years, and became a U.S. Citizen, and a contributing member of society, watching this enrages me. No one has the right to come into any country illegally. I get their plight, but they still need to enter correctly. I know Venezuela's situation is terrible, but either fix it (by whatever means you have) or apply for asylum. Forcing yourself into a sovereign nation is illegal.

Here's an idea, why not enter legally?

enter legally then?

Grandfather (Mom’s side) came here legally from Mexico with nothing. Grandparents (fathers side) came here legally from Italy with nothing. My wife became a U.S. citizen in ‘21. I feel for these people, and there should be some reform, but rushing and illegally entering a sovereign is not the way.

good job. there's a legal way to enter

Americans...stop Venezuelan citizens. Do not allow them to enter illegally...or legally...I know why I say this.\n\n\ndo not bother with mexicans. they will enter in one way or another (unfortunately)

ENTER THE LEGAL WAY

It is not fair for those people who enter here legally and work hard to pay all expenses coming here in Canada . It is not safe for Canadians to accept and accept people from other countries and when they come here it is for free!!! That is ridiculous. Canadians work hard and pay our taxes while other gain from the government

Wow. What a sense of entitlement. No respect for our laws and the need to enter legally. Send them away. Let the cartels provide for them. That’s who runs their countries anyway.

They’re not asylum seekers, they are asylum breakers. If asylum is what they seek, send them to the insane asylums. You gotta be crazy for wanting to voluntarily move into Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York or Chicago. You know, the worse places in the USA to live. Unless you are well off to begin with.\n\nMy rant: I swear politicians use the illegal immigrant border crossings as media fodder or campaign debate ammunition. Why not set up a program financed by their home country and ours to get them physically and financially healthy to work or start businesses in their home country? Physically, because they are coming here with all kinds of old world curable diseases, due to being born into an inadequate healthcare system. Not really their fault. The cost of living is so low for them that they could afford a future of prosperity or middle class lifestyle in their country of origin. Force their governments to change economically to sustain themselves for their interests. Imposing themselves upon a nation no longer prospering as it did during and after the Industrial Revolution is senseless. There is hardly any upward mobility in blue collar jobs, ever more so in the labor market. If they are not making $40K/year (assuming the majority has not a college degree in something marketable, advanced skills, a tradesman or artisan) then they’re struggling like everyone else in the service industry. Jobs for teenagers, entry level workers, part time jobseekers like for students, people needing extra income cause it’s so expensive in CA, NY, Austin, TX, Chicago or SF living off work entry-level service jobs. Technology has created a shortage or labor gap between unskilled jobs. Jobs that Americans need while pursuing training or technical degrees for the new skilled jobs. \n\nImmigrants do not need to fit the stereotypes of working in the service industry or as farm workers. American citizens can fill these labor positions quite easily. No, immigrants, work visa or not, do not work any harder, smarter, slower or faster than anyone else wanting to work. If someone is motivated to work an unskilled labor job then they will be just as effective as the next person. The HR for these companies definitely virtue signal and satisfy diversity quotas every time they hire someone due to their work status or ethnicity. Everyone and anyone can be replaced and so the question is, who do you, as an employer, want to replace the job vacancy with? Gonna hire cause they are a good fit or because your helping some politicians cause? Gonna grant asylum cause their lives are in danger from a government firing squad or because Biden/Harris will pat you on the back? \n\nThere is reason to illegally enter this country and it is disrespectful, disgraceful, dishonorable, dishonest and disheartening to the ones who are here legally by going through the process like everyone else paying time and money. Even Christopher Columbus paid to be here, no one handed him a free ticket to ‘paradise.’ The Mayflower patrons weren’t met with resistance by the indigenous community, they were harmonious. If there was a border in Maryland at Plymouth Rock, I am sure the Puritans would stop there first to get their passports stamped. I mean hell, these ‘asylum seekers’ don’t have the courtesy to get passports, why not? Passports are not that expensive considering what they pay coyotes. It makes no sense and is suspect. They won’t get stopped at the border if they have a passport!!!

I myself went to Canada legally through Person International Airport holding Canadian visa but it took several years for the Immigration Canada to look at my application while people my other country mates were entering Canada illegally, but their case approved and were granted status. I was very disappointed the reason at that time the Canadian Immigration minister was a Somalian and migrant who was against migration.

Much larger scale of “Illegals” are entering totally legally! In Mumbai you can buy all kinds of bogus credentials required for “ student visa” for under $5K, and there are no shortage of people willing to pay!

Canadians have a reputation for being polite so I will honour that tradition here. If it is your wish to enter into, or leave, Canada then please do so legally otherwise return from whence you came, if you would be so kind. Thank you.

First things first these people are all entering illegally they’re not legal migrants they’re illegal aliens
