Behaving in this manner shows how they will behave in the U.S.\nIt is not our responsibility to house and take care of illegal immigrants from any country. We have veterans and U.S. citizens that need help first and foremost. They are our responsibility not these people.

If our border wall was completed and illegal immigration laws were stricter, the people trying to abandon their broken countries may use their energy to fix them instead of fleeing.

You know what would happen if these people pulled this in North Korea? It wouldn't happen there. Some countries will shoot first and ask questions later. I'm just saying. This is ridiculous. And I support immigration if it is done legally and respectfully. But this? This needs to be gotten under control.

My heart seriously breaks for these people, you can actually see the grief and pain on some of their faces, trying to escape their situation in their homeland, but damn there's a major shortage of housing already, not to mention it puts a huge financial burden on the US to provide them with food, shelter, medical care, as well as for safety reasons. There's a reason there's processes in place for immigration, or at least there was. It's not okay to let anybody and everybody in the US, why did Biden allow this?

Denying people the right to not live in such horrible conditions is just wrong. What would you do if you were them? You would do anything for a better life wouldn't you? Screw the laws... history says enough about the illegal immigrants that created this country. Basic human decency says this is wrong. Let them all come here. Then they'll be nothing and America can expand. Just saying there's a lot of good that could come from expansion.

Every time when the immigrants doing this they cost a lot money to the Mexican government and the USA government ‘cuz the economy stops and the people who works hard they loose money..This people they need to fight in their own countries‘Cuz only causing problems to another county’s we are not responsible’s for their problems….

BULLSHIT statement that America has no room for destitute immigrants! I come from Flint Michigan, where there are TENS OF THOUSANDS of abandoned homes that could be fixed up enough to make passable homes for folks! The same reality of tens of thousands of abandoned homes in so many of our American cities. Where are the churches in all this? They should be helping and sponsoring these people to get roofs over their heads. America is truly a barbaric, uncaring Country. Shame on all you smug, unfeeling, uncaring spoiled -rotten Americans who turn a blind eye to the destitute, hungry, suffering and dying! Shame on you.

Protect your country. As someone Who live in poor country I know it's my responsibility to buit my country and not transfer my problems to my neighbor. Trump told you which kind of people these illegal immigrants are He is 100% correct believe him. I know they are not hardworking and dadicated like some of us that's why they spend their time moving to imaginary paradise.

This is deplorable and it’s going to destroy our country in so many ways. First, our social, educational, and criminal systems cannot absorb this many people all at once. We have enough people immigrating here legally. We don’t need all these illegals flooding over.\nThis is all Joe Biden and the Democrats’ fault, for not doing anything for two-plus years, except inviting these people to come here. These people get benefits, free healthcare, welfare probably, phones, and they shouldn’t. They should be told to go home. They should not be given a court date and then released into the United States! That’s ridiculous. They should be loaded on a C-130 transport, retrofitted with seats and shipped home. The majority of them are not going to show up for their court date. They’re going to disappear into the United States, work under the table, take jobs away from Americans, and send billions of more dollars back to their home country where they have family. I think currently, $250 billion gets sucked out of the US economy every year, due to illegal immigrants all sending $50 each, per month, home to their families in their native country. That money should be being spent here.\nLastly, all these illegals and the “anchor babies” they are going to have here, and the descendants of those babies, are all going to vote Democrat in the future, because of this lawlessness. Then we’ll have one-party rule in this country. That will destroy the country. It’ll be a socialist dictatorship, which is not good. The worst part is, many of these women coming across, are going to have a baby within a year. That baby, who by law is automatically a US citizen, becomes their key to citizenship, because once that baby turns 18, he or she can sponsor his parents to become citizens and also sponsor other family members. It’s not right. That amendment to our Constitution, was meant for descendants of slaves to become citizens, NOT to be used the way it’s being used today.\nAnd if we’re not careful we will all be speaking Spanish in the future.\n\nVOTE REPUBLICAN! It’s this country’s only chance and DEFINITELY vote for Trump in 2024. He’ll fix this mess…

There are more empty homes in america than people, its not folks immigrating, its corporate america controlling us!

The United States is starting to get over populated cause a lot of people are coming from other countries. Instead of coming to USA focus on your country work on it instead of running away from it. And tbh it’s not fair that most of the immigrants like the women especially they apparently come here to work but yet get more help than the ones who was born here by getting EBT getting pregnant over And over again. I said what i had to say and if someone feels some type of way about it oh well ??‍♀️

As a Mexican Citizen awaiting for my American visa this angers me. The entitlement nerve of these people is unbelievable. I live in Northern Mexico in the state of Chihuahua. This occurred about 4 hours from where I live & I have seen a huge surge in the last couple years of illegal immigrants coming through. We not only need a secure border up here with the states but also in our Mexican Southern border.

Call it what you want, but people who claim to be high and mighty Christians should remind themselves of the struggles of Joseph, Mary and Jesus’. The holy family’s experience is one of flight, hiding, refuge and seeking asylum in a foreign country where they could be welcomed by fellow Jews. After they felt it was safe they return, and even then they went to Nazareth to escape the eyes of powerful men. In his later years Jesus spoke truth to power. Demonizing immigrants doesn’t follow the teachings of the Bible. \nSeriously get off your high horse and stop moaning a groaning and be apart of the solution.

If the police are really arresting these illegal immigrants then why were they not arresting the bus drivers who were dropping these people off and impounding their buses? The paid transporters were have got the message real quick.

We have to help our own people that are here in the US that are struggling before letting any new immigrants in!! I understand that people want to come to the US for freedom and for better jobs and a better life.... BUT OUR GOVERNMENT CAN BARELY HELP OUR OWN CITIZENS!! And If you want to come to the US the come here legally!!

Statue of liberty is crying too... our government has raped the country and people so bad that we have no humanity left as a society. We are suffering too, you see the news... we aren't disrespecting other countries immigration laws to escape in masses. We are poor too, what yous ee on TV is the elite and they are a sliver of what the real America is. We are angry, desperate, hungry, over worked, over taxed and abused by police daily.... you are running from one hell, and into a worse hell. America is a lie, run AWAY, not to.

You know what, I’m an immigrant too. I came to America in 1988 from a communist country to have a better life and have religious freedom. But it took us more than 5 years, if not more, to get approved and jump every hurdle, every flaming hoop, and else they asked us to do, BUT, WE DID IT! Why do people think it’s ok to be able to come here illegally when others have to Jump through hoops to get here? And the stupid fucks who think they should be allowed to do that shit, should be made to put em up in THEIR HOMES AND NOT ON THE TAXPAYERS DOLLAR! Period point blank!!!! A country without rules will fall into anarchy. So many people do shit the right way, why do others think it’s ok to say fuck it and became a burden on the economy? Everywhere around the world, there are borders in place, and they’re there for a reason, to keep order, and to prevent illegal entry. Nobody’s saying not to come here, or that you’re not welcome or wanted here. But you have to do it the right way. Millions of people had to do it like that, by the books, the right way, you don’t get a free pass to come here illegally cause it’s hard, or it takes a long time. You’re not the first person to go through this hardship.

I stop feeding into this cause they used to blame it all to the Mexicans. Now some trump people want to defend him…\n\nIS DIFFERENT BECAUSE HE WAS BLAMING IT ALL ON MEXICANS AND HALF OF USA USED TO BELONG TO MEXICO SO HIS CHAOTIC DIVISION HE WAS CREATING WITH AMERICANS WAS WRONG.\nMOST IMMIGRANTS COMES FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

Please don’t destroy my Mexico along the ways. Emigrants all over the world even people from the island get to Mexico to go through the Mexican border and the US. Also a lot of the immigrants from South America end up staying in Mexico.?\n\n\nI think Mexican economy would be way better standing today if migrants didn’t come through our country & on top of that staying.??\n\nI will be sad when my Mexico becomes overpopulated ?

Don't agree with illegal immigration, but gotta say it is pretty awesome and refreshing to see people so enthusiastic and motivated to become Americans.

This video is not good, as the website mentioned in this video is the immigration agent, it is not a company or employer website. Really a very bad information, and guide the people in a wrong way.

My in law US veteran spend around 10 years dealing with Veterans Affair to get his retirement fullfill then last minute they demand him to take a drug test ; imagine in ten years been poor he would of end up doing. Illegal drugs to deal with PTSD. That is why a lot Americans or disappointed with immigration laws i am Mexican and i understand both sides but where is the fairness to the people average poor people from the US; definitely politicians are happy with this confusion

My parents came illegally but became citizens thru the amnesty from Bill Epstein i mean Clinton, i was born here in California, even though i love my Mexican heritage i still think this is wrong, we need more border control but we also need to be able to make it easier for the good people to come here legally. Donald trump was not racist he was speaking the truth alot of these immigrants are bringing drugs over alot of them are bad people who will cause alot of problems over here for us thats why we need a screening process but a better one than we have now because the one we have now is very expensive and takes way too long, we could use the extra labor from people who want to come and actually work. There’s also more Chinese immigrants than mexican so we need to get a hold of that too , but these Central Americans trying to come in the country alot of them are gang members and most of them are poor and have no resources so when they get here they will become gang members and cause problems because they have no structure and thats all they know. They really need to do something about this. This is disgusting, this is not the right way trying to barge your way into our country is not the way to go

Shame here in the UK they just give all the illegal immigrants 5 star hotels to relax in then make us tax payer pay the bill of it all. Costs us billions a year to keep them here and I find it disgusting like other countries we can't even house our own people as it is and war veterans are on the streets.

Sure , this is the place to be .... Biden wants to give immigrants social security benefits! How fkn lame is that? Biden should make himself useful and make more funds available to our veterans instead of funds to all kinds of foreign countries. There are people HERE that need help, NOW!!!!!

The drug trade has destroyed the lives of many people in Central and South America. They have no other choice besides illegal immigration.

Asian immigrant took 10+ years to be able to move to the US, and these people think they are entitled for special treatment, send them right tf back

American has its own problems Ben has to deal with overflow of immigrants we have our own homeless people who need help

I'm Mexican, I live in Mexico but in the borderline between Mexico and United States and this immigrant behavior is just so embarrassing and unacceptable.\n\nTrump was a racist and I don't agree with the inhuman way he treated foreign people. This doesn't mean you have the right to enter to someone's house with out an invitación. They are so wrong, just proclaiming rights from other country they don't have, United States or even Mexico is NOT in obligation of helping them, we do it as a favor and they need to understand that. ITS A FAVOR. They should be thankful for any thing they receive from us.

I believe all people should be given a fair shot at life and freedom. But however if you have a country in which you don’t like the laws and are being denied human rights and live in poverty. Then you should fight to make it a better place. Black people in America have endured what no other nation has ever experienced. But they stayed and fought for human and civil rights and also built America from the ground up. And made it necessary with the 14th amendment to make it possible for non white immigrants to migrate to America. “Make your own country better “

Bullshit man!!! I'm sick and tired of the poor immigrants roll they play!!! The media shows the teary eyes and we're supposed to be like oh let them in!!! Screw that man!! Its human smuggling and drug cartels!! There's legal ways to get here and if some bumpkin from Korea or China can do it so can these people!!

Working 2 jobs and living in a car in the US is better than their opportunities back home. Why can we never talk about the main issue about immigration. Our government has kept Central America weak and unstable to meet our needs for generations. Yet we are amazed that people don't want to live their. This is our government's fault.

If you allow people to immigrate (legally or illegally) into your country that do not share your values or culture and have no intention to assimilate, you will have a divided country that will eventually lead to violence and potential downfall. This always happens.

idk about you guys but that is not the kind of people i would even want in my country. my parents immigrated too but never expected hand outs nor did they ever recieve financial aide of any kind. why give our taxpayer dollars to these people when we are not even taking care of our own people? people that they themselves have paid into the system. i have also worked with them and its been the worst experience. they dont want to do the work right and get offended when you try to coach them. they show up to work to recieve a check but dont come to work to work. they are people that just expect things to be given to them because thats how it used to be when venezuela was rich off oil. its sad that this is how they represent their people

There are enough illegal immigrants here in the US. Personally I think we should them instead as most have being paying their taxes and have contributed to our country in their way. Especially anyone that has lived here 10 years and have shown that they are good people.

Absolutely DISGUSTING that people believe they have a “right” to just straight up IGNORE the laws of the country they’re SUPPOSEDLY so desperate to “immigrate” to!\nJust like in every other country (that’s not been completely subsumed by the cult of “woke” mind-virus) that protects IT’S citizens and it’s LEGALLY RECOGNIZED BORDERS and it’s perfectly acceptable for “certain” other countries, but it’s somehow “wrong” for the greatest nation on the face of the earth when they do it!?\nTFOH with that hypocritical BS!\n\nPS the communist news network (AKA cnn) flushed whatever journalistic integrity/credibility they had when they pushed proven lies about “Russian collusion” even when various hosts admitted it was a *nothing burger* and even the owner was caught by James O’Keefe.

I live next to a drop off destination for Joe Biden's migrants. I would have to say they appear to be victims of the Democrat party, in that, like many other groups of people they have been lied to or given false hopes of success or prosperity. It is evident every morning when about thirty men gather in groups awaiting, perhaps a local contractor, to drive up and offer them a few hours of work, digging a hole or some other menial task. We also now have these corner Hey Cocos fruit stands where another of Joe's migrants sits for hours, making a couple bucks, at best, and a few more for whoever owns the cart and provides the fruit. I can only imagine where all these men must be sleeping at night, who might be paying for their space on a garage floor. Their only relief comes from gathering at the park across the street to use the barbecues and tables, and share a meal. For some the meal leads to beer and drunkenness. I watched the police send five of them back to the garage since they were all in a car drinking, even an open alcohol container in CA is illegal. If I were one of them I would have been arrested, but these lucky Biden immigrants were simply told to walk away. I hope the police at least impounded the car. Ten o'clock on a Sunday morning, people jogging, people walking their dogs, unaware of Joe Biden's guys, ready to drive away in drunken bliss. Thank you Joe. Thank you Democrats, you have created another group of dependents at least you can give them free health-care, I suppose that's one way to say they have improved their lives by coming here.

I'm homeless, Navy Veteran and work full time. If housing programs can't help homeless Americans, how can we help immigrants. I want a home too. Update: I'll elaborate more on my situation. I served for four years. I lost my job as an Uber driver in 2018 after my car got repossessed. I live with my fiance who has PTSD from her family upbringing. She tries to work but she doesn't last long. We have gone to 3 different housing programs and they prove to be unhelpful. You make too much money from working they can't help you, if you make too little money they can't help you. WTF!!! All housing that is offered is usually in areas that are in high theft and homeless areas. People steal from you and you up right back in the streets. One program helped me become a fully trained security guard. We have also been in two car accidents, none were our fault. But now I'm stuck just living in a car and working full time. After I work all night I drive around at gas stations, asking people for money for gas and food. Every check I get goes to gas, food and bills. We manage our money wisely. Our money last a day and then we have to go straight back to asking for money again. Everyone I have asked for help is always a broken promise. I don't know what to do anymore.

I’m sorry no, enough immigrants coming here illegally. No. They need to get it the legal way like everyone else. And there needs to be cap of how many we take yearly even than. It’s getting crazy for the people who live here to even get resources as Americans because of all these people. Yes, unfortunately Americans need to come first.

The world is going through the same migrant shift at the same time. The same is happening in the UK immigrants coming to the UK expecting to reap all benefits just becasue. Meanwhile homelessness and lack of jobs for those who have lived here all their lives and the bottom of the list for basic housing. Adults with children living with parents not entitled to the government finding yet these people enter and are helped/ housed. It's no longer about race but principals. This world is annoying me!

The US owes the world for the governments have been active part in the suffering of these people, making wars, sponsoring corrupt leaders so US companies can exploit their land. Now the US wants to invade Mexico, the country which can help against the immigrants, well there you go, mwxico won't do anything now and we will see who gets invaded first ???. American people are responsible for the leaders they elect and keeping them accountable, NO MORE WARS, NO MORE GRINGO SPONSORED CORRUPTION

To all the people in the comments upset with poor, desperate, people with no power instead of the American government that has undoubtedly destabilized these countries to the point where their citizens are fleeing to other countries…know that you are angry with the wrong people!\n\nThese people just want better lives for their families! That should cause everyone to question why they want to leave? Is there something we can do to support change in their countries so they don’t want to leave? Can we advocate for that in our politics? Is there something we can do to make housing more affordable? There isn’t a housing shortage, we have 600,000 homeless with millions of vacant homes! Can we advocate for the rights of people over giant real estate companies like Blackstone gobbling up houses and apartments, making them unaffordable before we scream that there aren’t houses for these people?!\n\nThe complete lack of effort around finding a solution is mind blowing to me! Everyone just resorts to basically saying they should all be kicked out!! Why can’t we find a solution? I just don’t get why this is such a controversial issue! Kicking them out or criminalizing them is just sweeping the issue under the rug. It doesn’t solve the problem, meaning after a while they will come back and we will be right back where we started. \n\nI guess I just feel like there should be a little more compassion and problem solving when talking about immigration!

Me and my whole big family waited 12 years to immigrate into the U.S, and some people just want to cut the line...

America should have never allowed the first of illegal immigrants in the country. Many have shown they are violent and ungrateful for the free food and resources many American people are not privileged to. Keep them out!

British people are crying over 50k immigrants in a year imagine if they see this?

All this is a scam. West countries depend on immigrants. Deputation of counties causing stop grown. \nIt is shame the Canada treat legal immigrants so badly and on other hand it is making easy for terrorists and uneducated people who don’t really want to work.

America an Canada help immigrants first before there own people.

IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BLACK IMMIGRANTS ...THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MET WITH FULL POLICE VIOLENCE AND BLOODSHED ..SO WHY SHOULD WE CARE HUH ..THEY COMING OVER TO DISRUPT THE JOBS FOR PEOPLE WHOS BEEN OPPREESSED FROM THE BEGINING OF DUMB STUPID AMERICA ...THIS IS WHAT AMERICA DESERVE ...BECAUSE THE FAKE LEADERS ARE CRACKHEADS ...LITTERALLY ...ONLY IF THEY KNEW AMERICA IS BROKE ..DUE TO MAKING MONEY AND PURPOSELY STASHING IT IN COUNTRIES OUTSIDE OF AMERICA ...

? I do feel for these people. However, how do you measure the quality of immigrants wanting to live in the US. Thousands of Venezuelans have crossed the border to Colombia. Although most want a better life, there are the many that do atrocities!!! The city where my parents are from there are neighborhoods where Venezuelans hangs have taken over….. there were peaceful places before Venezuelans got there. It can be frustrating when talking about immigration.

Regardless of your woke ideology, FACTS don’t lie. FACT illegal immigrants commit felonies at a rate 80 percent higher than legal U.S. citizens. FACT these people are so desperate they are willing to participate in brutal cartel violence and drug trade. Americans struggle enough to pay the bills, we CANT just let any person come in. Go fix your own countries!!!
