Why would they want to come here? No papers, illegal, and people can barely afford to feed there families here anyways?

The Democrats found out the Venezuelan people vote right and then they say they can't come in which is racist and fascist

I submitted immigration sponsorship for my family and have been waiting for the last 15 years. What do these people think they are entitled to come just because there are issues in their own country? This is getting ridiculous. I am outraged by the fact that we go through the legal system and waiting period has been almost two decades with just one hope that someday we get to reunite with our family and these people keep ruining our chances.

People are trying to come here to better their lives… and Americans can’t find work or safe and add housing for themselves… sigh..

LET MY PEOPLE COMEE ???????????

The problem is that the dumbest versions of people are coming to the US. The smart ones stay behind and live a normal life. Look at these hysterical people. All possessed with unrealistic dreams about getting rich in a lazy arm chair. Send these people black please

We cant support anymore people coming here close the border. Good job CBP!

Over 90% of the 11 K comments come from people who are ancestors of immigrants some legal some not who immigrated into this melding pot nation over the last 2 and a half centuries. My namesake arrived in 58....1758. That's why when WWII happened we were ready with not only unlimited warriors but infinite workers as well to build the victorious war machine. As WWIII looms on the horizon maybe we ought to keep that in mind as a little food for thought for our future as a free nation!

Come on over illegals will give you each $5000 in food stamps free housing free medical care shit will give you a brand new car to but now are homeless people they’re real Americans no we don’t care about them. No no no no we don’t that’s the Democrats doing that.

During the 1930's media in various countries made immigrants and asylum seekers out to be this horrible thing and demonised them. This came after a huge recession in 1923, the Wall Street crash, and the subsequent dramatic rise of far right parties in various countries, specifically Italy, then Germany and Spain. \nFast-forward to modern times. 2008 saw another global recession. Once again politics swung massively to the right with countries like Italy (once again), Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden, voting in right wing governments, France ending in a run off that narrowly defeated the far right, Belgium and Spain looking likely to be heading into heavily right wing governments at the next elections, whilst the US and UK governments both saw their politics swinging far further in that direction, especially the UK right now whilst led by an unelected leader who is demonising people in ways that would make Trump look soft. One of themajor rallying calls: immigration. The way media report on this becomes increasingly demeaning and hateful. During the 1930's much of the European media and even as far as the UK was ramping up the scorn against the ever increasing influx of Jewish immigrants coming from Germany. Even into 1944 there was a vast amount of demonisation of them seeking asylum, despite the knowledge by this point that there were horrific conditions in camps where extermination was becoming ever more apparent. The Nazi German government in 1936 passed laws that enabled them to revoke citizenship and stripped away laws on human rights. It would be great to say that these poor souls who were being demonised in their own country were accepted into nations who could see what was going on and who wanted to help, but that just wasn't the way it went. Media played out as it is now, leading to rejection and a greater number of deaths as a result of this. The way the UK government is currently working, it actually sounds like the maxi government of the mid 30's during the time of the Nürnberg laws. \n \nThe world feels far smaller now with double the amount of people and with things like social media playing a huge role in the lives of many. The ease of access to people around the world has made issues seem to stretch to far more countries now, whereas back then it was a time of empires. I get that there will be many here who support Trump, many who support Biden, there will be Brit's who support Sunak and the rather vicious words of Suella Braverman, whilst others will be more on the side of Starmer (I'm well aware of all the other parties but they don't stand to gain as much). There will be French people backing Macron, whilst others back Le Pen. We could go through each country all the way to the battle between Fujimori and Castillo in Perú, and the stories are much the same, but how will history judge us when people look back to this time? Will it be another occasion where we demonised those trying to escape the horror of the place they had the bad luck to be born in whilst we were luckier? \n\nI know there is hardship everywhere. I'm struggling more than most and I know I can't keep living this way. However, I don't want to be a part of history people look back at and say ‘if only they did something to help prevent this.’. I would rather be a part of history people look back upon and say; ‘that was a boring time period where nothing important happened’. It's already too late for that. Instead I try to remember that, though I was born into a family who never really wanted me, I was lucky enough to be born into a country that could support me during the hardest times. When you look at immigrants, remember that every one of us has immigrants in our family tree somewhere.

We don’t need them dirty people coming in our country just to dirty ours up.

Let these people come through and put them on welfare automatic and help Europe but can’t even help us ndn people in America and when war starts want us to go fight your war

I though people love communism and socialism? Why come to the evil American empire, stay in your in your utopia.

Report and deport . Get work visas do it correctly and you cannot have kids be born in u\nS soil. Why do we have to work to pay taxes so they can come and have free medical? My parents are immigrants but never took a penny or got any help help because my parents weren't from here. Upon my parents becoming us citizens they never asked or got any help and not that they couldn't use it cause we grew up poor but in my dad's words that's for poor people that need it.

You know that is consider as a frontal invasive it is in consideration as a terrorist act and should have been handled with force I do feel bad for the people just they should go home clean up there streets together and get rid of there gang problems and there own life frustration don't come here bringing your trash don't come here bringing your rapist murders and thieves we have enough of that going on and of our government got off it's lazy greedy ass and taken care of the problem instead of making money off it we all be in a better position.

We have a process. Millions follow it. I see only a very horrible enforcement. Clean up venesueuela govt. They have resoutces. And if a honest govt people would stay. Its coming to mass warthog fly bys enforcing tge dmz. No one wants this! But one or two passes and over. Dont see this in other places. Put 1000 armed drones patrolling and just have a sit down with cartels who can stop this south. Their goal is sell americans dope and we already wink and look the othercway. The better we do the better they will andvthis is messing our economy. Not pushing dope etc but cats out of the bag aint going back so at least protect our borders. Putin could arm each of these invaders with bombs, poison etc andvthe damage they could do.... they dont love america. This is an invasion no different than WW2 . We could melt the border if we had the will. Freaky how weak usa is

Can.any one that Travels abroad n when You come back Tru Customs how many times these Custums give us a hard time to come back in asking stupid questions,,whT did u do? How many days were u abroad? Useless stupid questions n here these people coming in like a damn stampede..

What lovely neighbors! It’s obvious that they are coming here just to love and protect this nation and its people. Goodness abounds!

This is straight bullshit 9 000,000,000 people on this earth an America supposed to take care of everyone. Why won’t people’s own country’s support and to take care of its own people and let the fact that it’s like this means they are not like us here in America\n\nWe Americans and I am not talking about coming over here the past 70 years I’m talking about the ones that have been here since the revolution

You have to start dropping magazines into a crowd and let them know get the fuck out not welcome… sad but true. This is not going to help our economy in anyway. Let me guess too they didn’t stop coming… ffs get it together people.

cartel drug come ..kil.more people here

Sucks to be in a southern state I'm comfortable here in Pennsylvania if an illegal comes here he's going to do the jobs and we don't want to do because we are naturally lazy but hey if you're scared of the Boogeyman Mexicans that's your problem most people want to come in this country want to leave that cesspool of a country called Mexico I don't blame them

They are so disrespectful when they come here especially to black people

Nothing but an invasion. Mexico used to stop them in the southern border w Guatemala but Biden’s Admin changed that, now Americans are seeing what they didn’t see b4. And there are a lot more coming… most of these people were relying on social services in their native countries, so guess where they going once they cross the border? We US Citizens will have to pay way more taxes to support them.

I’m Venezuelan, but those people do not represent migraines. real migrants wait their turn, stay in line, and work for a living. I’m sorry, but the migrants coming over now or spoiled pieces of shit.. And I know that’s rude to say but those people who live in hotels and expect five star meals can go back wherever the fuck they came from, we can start giving those meals to people who die or can’t even get a meal in front of their face every night

It’s so sad that people in America talk shit about it all the time and see how bad it is.. yeah people are risking their lives and leaving their families just to come to America for taste and single breath of air

I have no sympathy for people coming in illegally

Americans: America is such a horrible and racist place with so much gun violence. \nAlso Americans: We need to help these people to come into our horrible and racist country with gun violence and mass shootings.

Trump was right the whole time. i been studying him and he knows alot about the deep state or shadow government that controls the world, they're the one that creating all the caos in the world right know including covid. They are pushing their demonic agenda. They went down to this south american CONTRIES telling people to come here to the extended of paying them to leave their country and come to united states lying to them that the border will be open and promising things that ain't truth only to create more caos, now last week when news was flooded with trump news that he was going to be arrested, Russia and China sign an agreement to create new currency etc meanwhile they have us distracted with trump. It's all a smokescreen.

I remember the American foreign policies messing with the countries of all those people. Do your research yall!!! \nVenezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua, Cuba and El Salvador…ALL of those countries screwed up by the US foreign policies and now coming back to bite yall on the ass.\nStop wining about it!!!???

These people have to stop coming illegally they all should be deported

BIDEN giving money to Mexico. 30 Millon ...in agreements to keep migrants there and they don't respect and nobody do nothing they don't care about the border, about this people, AMLO is laughing about Biden in his program every morning ...Now please, say after me....THANK YOU TRUMP FOR THE WALL !!!!!thank u !!! this is coming worst every day !!! we want you back for president !!!

My wife, a teacher here in North Carolina and I, a hard working legal migrant worker and a tax payer were given a temporary visa to stay and work here in the US for 5 years and we need to exit this july because of the US revise law. I do not understand why the US government doesn’t want to give us visa that will allow us to stay long. In my working place, theres a lot of workers(asylum) from south america mostly from haiti and they keep on coming. The number of black haitian are more that the number of combine black and white american. I would say.. this people are lazy, loud, rude, can’t speak english well yet the US government look’s like they prefer them than us.

They didn’t get past the Barbwire they were contained. So you can stop saying people are coming into the US by droves. They’ve been stopped every time.

Attempted mass entry? How about INVASION. You telling me any other country including Mexico would not just shoot any people trying to force their way into their country? Gtfo of here with that bullshit. They should have shot the shit out of them and this is coming from a hispanic person. You come here to obey laws. We leave out shitty countries because of the chaos that exists there. Dont bring it here.

Things are so incredibly bad in Mexico that the people need to leave…I mean it’s obvious they are terrified of Mexico to the point they would rather go though this…that speaks volumes of what they are going though and ignoring them isn’t an option since america totes itself as this free country you come to to change your life…maybe america should stop saying that and say their freedom has prices most can’t pay for…lol

They should rush they're own government like this and make the change they are seeking when they come here !! It useless to rush the border I mean why put your shit on our country and our people.. if your unhappy with your country and you don't have the opportunity that your seeking in your country then blame your government and rush them !! They're the ones keeping you down and making life hell for you and your families, while they sit in they're rich ass' watching you suffer and starve !! And if you have a problem with drug cartels then again rush your police or military and take what you need to go and kill the people who are running the cartels !! It's common sense.. but to rush out border and try to come here illegally just makes the American people not want you here even more !! And I can see that these people are eating better than the homeless people here .. even the inmates in our country are starving but these people look pretty dam healthy to me !!

This is all Joe Biden and his people. Just to let y'all know face book is showing shit on live feeds telling everyone to come. what the fuck Joe what is up with that.

Don’t feel bad one bit for these people. My family come from immigrants that did it the right way. The United States has a capacity. Thank God I was born here.

if you don't come in legally, you are sent back to the country you came from. EVERY time. No exceptions. It's not like the USA is a dictatorship. They have similar values as Canadians... so, it's not like you NEED to escape... it's not like the USA is a brutal dictatorship without the rule of law... so, there is no need for people to cross this way... letting people cross here is unfair to those who take the time and come in legally.

All these people want to come here and we may have a ww 3! Our dollar might crash. They need to fix their own country

Bro I love my Hispanic people bud damn it’s hard out here for us Americans already these people are coming over here on falso hope we’re they going ? Gonna become homeless

let them come. the earth wasn't built with fences. most of these people want a better life

And that's what happens when Americans don't have homes homeless. Don't have homes and all of you m************ that act like nothing's happening. You want to give credit to some other people coming in to our country to our states and they get everything

This is directly result of having Vice President in charge of the border and A President that's doesn't even remembering his own name half of the time, yes come on in and come to my house i have a lots of chocolate.... This country has become a lawless, public education system are dumber, moral values are gone, taxes are to the roof, and can't even helping our own vet and homeless , but yet we trying to help other. PETHATIC !....\nthey are sucking the blood of the small business and middle class like us.... And yet there are American people still supporting them, i dont care what side you're on, no one give rat a$$..... but if you dumb enough to not see it, i feel sorry for y'all and your kids ...WAKE UP!!!! Do What Is Right...

Lift the Yankee sanctions against Venezuela, and they will stop coming . These people aren't Davy Crockett , invading Texas with weapons .

I feel bad but I don't want that many people coming in. So my government can tax me to pay for all of them no thank you

Chinese are also coming over here illegally!! ? if these people feel entitled to cross they will feel entitled to everything else here whether it is right or wrong!! Send them back immediately!!

Their government needs to get their act together to make it a better place for them over in their own country. There is no way your people should have to flee their own countries to find whatever in another. Come on governments around the world and in America Step up actually do something useful and stop taking bribes and winking your eyes at wrong doings.

People from other countries think that by coming here it’s all going to be better but it’s already bad for us right here everything is so expensive
