I came here as a refugee from the Bosnian war when I was a little girl, I know all these people want is a safer place to raise their kids, and steady employment (they will take the jobs Americans are picky about any day!) I barely see Americans at the warehouses I’ve worked at.

If you let them in I bet the whole Latino countries will come to USA.\n\nBy the way U accept Ukraine refugees unconditionally so why can't you accept these poor people

All migrants who claimed refugee status upon entry are all criminals, who exploited a loophole and were arrested for illegal crossing but were placed in the system by claiming refugee status when the US is clearly not a nonthreat to them.

Nope go back and come in to the country the right way it’s PURE BS!!!!!my mom was a refugee and she did the right way she had 3 jobs became a citizen before she got 3 jobs!!!!!!?

Don't mess with these refugees trying to leave terrible places ......

When you attack a peacefully existing nation and you exploit there resources and people for sure they will enter your country as a refugee to take back what you have stolen ❤❤

West and USA paying back for the NATO bombing of nations bombed to ashes just for the fun... Karma payback time... and these refugees and their future generation will remember what US & West or NATO did to their forefathers

Don’t let USA get run over by migrants. My home country of Sweden has been destroyed because of Islamic “refugees”, send them all back to fix their own countries!! I see a lot of grown healthy men that should be working!!!!! Then again it’s all a plan from the NWO!!

How can all these people not fix their own countries? Being a refugee is NO FUN.

I can’t imagine the fear & desperation that would cause such large numbers of refugees to do this. What happened to the “war on terror”? Isn’t a threat to our neighbors a future threat to us?

What happened to opening our borders and taking in refugees

They do not wal to work...they know that if they get refugee status...they will get a free check for life and medical care and education for life...and will never have to work again....and democRATS will give them refugee atatus in exchange for their vote....very plane to see

Were not a fucking refugee camp, why tf does no one treat america with the respect it deserves, stop bringing your problems over here and fix the damn country, we already have problems we gotta fix we dont need this added on top of it

According to refugee rules they have to migrate to 2 countries outside of their home country to seek asylum. Maybe Canada was not their 1st choice but a means to an end to get that 2nd country eligiblity for asylum. Now to what an individual country offers in protection is up to its citizens to change the laws not to complain about it.

They're just benefit shopping.\nHardly refugees if they're now fleeing the US.\n\nGood luck woke Canada you deserve them.

Biden and the Democrats are evidently very selective about which migrants they want to let in. They want to keep out Venezuelan refugees because they are fleeing from the tyranny of Venezuela’s Communist dictatorship. Venezuelans are potential future Conservative Republican voters.

After Biden, many people had easy refugees come to the USA wtf they are not checked Trump is back 2024

This is all shameful ????we have plenty in this country the problem is the greed and the problem is the mismanagement of the wealthy on Wall Street and the bankers!!!!! Stop blaming the poor. Another issue greedy whites in this country forget you have mis treated your neighbors in South America and allowed their nations to fall apart, while helping Ukraine and others but yet those in power don’t give a damn about our borders. This is shameful. Millions of white refugees came to this country poor , dirty and hungry of course we have housing and of course we have land and food but we hate each other as Americans and now our beautiful beloved country is going to shit. We don’t get mad when the rich refuses to pay their fair share of taxes and yet we have allowed entire small towns and urban cites to go to crap. Shameful ?????????????????????❤

Migrants or refugees?

The DemocRAT refugees ?

Reality check. This incident is only the beginning. If developed countries fail to address the disparity between wealthy and developing countries it will be commonplace for economic refugees attempting to enter countries by forceful means. \nYou can't really blame them. \nIt used to be people wanting a better life, it will become a matter of survival for them in the future.

Among those are also Syrian, Iraqi refugees, this will get worse as USA messes with internal affairs of other countries

I would guess most are paid by Soros etc. I read on line Obama and Hillary started a war to create refugees to bring back to US to ruin this economy! So the first immigrants weren't truly refugees of war...they werent even women and children like Obama said! They were young men of fighting age 20-25 yo.

As an Indian, I think Americans need Donald Trump at this time, because we know how refugees can increase poverty & unemployment, as here in India lots of Muslims (rohingya) came from Bangladesh to India & thus poverty increased in India & our youth cannot find a job for living.

Mexico’s socialist and inept president does nothing to stop the flow of these so called “refugees” to the U.S.-Mexico border. We need a strong Republican president who actually cares for America and stops this invasion.

Well it makes sense if we understand how policies have changed over time. If you were allowing refugee crossings, and then all of a sudden bar people from a certain region, they’ll get backed up. You have to have gradual changes

Meanwhile in Canada, Toronto has become a tent city while refugees are housed in hotels and then public housing. \nI have always been a supporter of immigration and refugee asylum but it's becoming obvious even to people like me that we can no longer afford to bring in more people who sadly will continue to just drain our system until it collapses. \nThe average person is barely keeping their head above water with rent and food prices. There comes a point when you have to acknowledge that your cup is empty and there is nothing left to give.

America destroyed Venezuela and now Venezuelans are here as refugees. Nice work America

It's almost like that in the UK now. All the little boats crossing the channel ILLEGALLY entering!! They are NOT refugees. Hosting the criminals in nice hotels whilst our elderly for want of a bit of help are being ILLEGALLY forced from their homes into RESIDENTIAL CARE and Fraudulently made to pay by Whatever Means, including the fabrication of their status and finances even ROBBING them of their PENSIONS in client Contributions!!! \nIt's disgusting, despicable and NEEDS to stop !!

What about the life of canadians itself..inflation.. is so high that retired people have to go At work again. On other hand refugees are hetting free money from the tax paid by canadians

I once had the opinion that every country should mind their own business. But with hordes of refugees wether due to war, dictatorships or poverty it's everyone's business. And humanity demands not being ignorant and let people die. So we have to figure out and fix issues even in foreign countries

Ummm they have guns for a reasons and bullets smugwhats funny to me all these supposed poor refugees dress better then almost everyone I know working class these people get here in brand new clothes new cars botching and moaning they are so poor yet their full of shit

most of these people don't even come from Mexico thier economic refugees and how can America support all these people , Americans in thier own country are liveing on the streets , thanks to Mr Biden giving all these poor people false hope that in itself is criminal .

Shit UK refugees came in dollar tree with 8,000 in ebt balance at my register I identified as UK yesterday at ebt office

America has to take all refugees from Europe as well. It’s their wars their fault their problem. Same as Ukraina. It’s all a american problem

Canada is bringing in more refugees than the USA

Refugees need to stop running from their countries. Fight to fix their own. Throw him out of foreign countries.. Unless there's A-war In their native country go home Our countries have enough problems with Ouch you..

Those who say “refugees welcome “ are responsible for this!

It's all done on purpose. Few years back the videos showed mostly military aged men. They were called refugees. Free stuff for them all. ???

We have such a porous border in Canada. Problem is Justin Trudeau and his pack of corrupt Liberals want more and more “refuges” not skilled....with an education coming into Canada. You see....people who vote Liberal are morons...the “free stuff” they get from the Liberals are paid for with more and more Liberal taxes. Liberal voters think Justin dips into a trust fund or something...yes Liberal voters are really that stupid....they don’t realize more Liberals mean more wasteful taxes. So Justin wants refugees...who he can put on welfare for their lives, become citizens, AND bring in dozens of their relatives to begin the process again....why because they vote Liberal in perpetuity. We are never going to break this cycle. Where is the line to emigrated to the United States.....oh, I’m educated with a masters degree. Not valued in Canada, because I was born here, and I’m white....I feel so ashamed!

I cant imagine being in their shoes.. its heartbreaking. Theyre so desperate to feel safe and stable again and they truly think america is the safest place and will produce opportunities. My father is a viet war lieutenant and was privileged to be able to come here legally as a refugee. He provided our family with a stable home and never starved. My family is very privileged and i wish i could help all of those in war torn countries or just people running from corruption but its so little we could do…

Why is the Biden administration stopping only Venezuelan and Cuban refugees. And allowing most others access. Because these communities will usually vote Republican. And the reason they are allowing near unlimited immigration at the southern border is the to replace democrat voters.

entered canada can get free housing and healthcare if they managed to get refugee status, refugees are nowadays better off than normal canadians, at least refugees dont pay rents or buy a home,

PLEASE LET THEM IN FOR HUMAN RIGHTS. THE US IS A LARGE COUNTRY. IT CAN KEEP THE WHOLE SOUTH AMERICAN'S REFUGEES.\nIT'S THE RESULT OF US SANCTIONS ON OTHER NATIONS LIKE VENEZUELA????????

Same happening between my country Pakistan and bloody afghani refugees coming into the country without documentation

Canada actually has a stricter policy on refugees than the US. Although detention of asylum seekers is provided for under Canadian law, the criteria for its use appear to be tighter than in the US. In 2017(one year after Trump's administration), Canada had 6251 immigration detainees 2017 compared with 323,591 held by the United States that same year. And the US has insanely more cases of refugees than Canada. Canada's immigration policy has a preference for economic benefits, and the approval criteria for refugee claims are stricter too. Take a look at the Express Entry Programme. Most of the applicants have to get a master's degree to be granted a PR in Canada, but the US is more favourable on Family reunions or Refugees. Although Canada has its own problems, such as housing issues and a healthcare system that might worsen by increasing immigrants, in general, I think the US should learn something more on Canada's immigration policy which is on a talent basis.

These are not illegal immegrants. These are refugees

!!! No more illegal immigrants and refugees. !!! Go back to your country, stand up against your government. For your families and country, not us or Mexico. You are not welcome to my country, go back. !!! ?

They know they’ll get everything for free as a “refugee” so I don’t blame them for getting over here.. just normal Americans gotta pay for it. \nBest bet is to save up and leave the country, in 10-15 years it’s gonna be worse than China

Cowardly communist refugees are not welcome. Return to your homeland and make Venezuela great again.
