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!

Where are the national guard when we need them...

the united states already allows more immigrants permanent status than the next 4 contenders combined. millions are legally allowed in each year.. millions. national security is not a game, this is the real world.

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.

Many of them are so desperate to save their families,yet who knows who is mixed up with this crowd. Got to keep the nation safe!

We need the national guard with machine guns

This is invasion, not illegal immigration. Where is national guards?

Hell no!! We need the national gard wtf Biden is a freaking joke and destroying are country!!!!WE NEED TRUMP BACK NOW

Turning our nation to theirs. No. I don’t think so. Never.

The gov is going to make us a 3rd world nation.

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

National guard better be called up

We sucked and taught South American folks how to destroy their resources with out renewable outcomes-after their, “usefulness “, left their nation , dictators grabbed power . It’s the way of the world ( look at Trump ) Greed and power root all evil ?! Now they are seeking what they had a taste of and know Is “there “, in ??. Can ya blame em ?

Venezuela’s free nation demise came about because of the liberal voting policies of its citizens. They kept voting for Marxism and they finally got it. Now they want to come here and probably bring the same ideology with them. NOPE! Sorry, not sorry.

FJB\nget an actual not mentally I’ll president in office and get hard national border security

This is a threat to national security, illegal immigration.

We don't want these cowards here. These scumbags won't fight for their nation why would they fight to make our nation better. If you come here illegally it should disqualify you forever from becoming a American citizen.

Beautiful! Death of both amarican and Canadian nations closer and closer… this is what happens when you lose your identity.

If that’s not a damn invasion force if I’ve ever seen one…… Deploy the National Guard NOW!!!

THEY ARE FLEEING SOCIALISM!!! SO WHY IN THE HELL ARE DEMOCRATS EMBRACING SOCIALISM??? THEY ARE DESTROYING THIS NATION! MAY GOD HELP US ??

Hello, thanks for the video. Question regarding what should we enter for national document expiry date? There is no mention anywhere of when aadhar card expires?

Sad really, that the richest, by far the wealthiest, nation in the world couldn’t let those poor people in and house and feed them (the human basics). Heart breaking when it’s money above human lives.

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.

Open fire?!? Why don’t they open fire? Try doing this at any other national boarder.

This is an invasion...where is the national guard

America needs to fix itself before we fix other nations peoples problems

I bet Democrats are so proud of their vote? and the sad part is that Americans dont learn, they keep voting for the same corrupt politicians that havent done anything to better our nation? Where is Biden? Biden is more worried about Ukraine and giving Ukraine 115 Billion dollars and our combat tanks. You know he has to save the corrupt country that launders his money and he gets a 10% for the big guy.

Why do you come to our border and proclaim your nation is great if your fleeing from it. You must not be an assylum seeker but an invader.

The US oligarches ( 1982 : 92 billions/ 400 richest americans, now in 2022, 2300 billions !!!'' , x 25 ! ) make sanctions, because the natives doesn't want to give them their national ressources .\nSanctions like for Irak, you can sell some of your oil, in exchange of FOOD ! So why do we have , also in Europe , refugies ? To make the wealthiest more wealthy . the same story with Russia but they have their angel Monsieur , Sir Vladimir Poutine !

By the number of people this is considered as an invasion by mexico. Why do these people want to leave their own country so bad.. because the government is a criminal government and the United Nations knows this very well

so, if they behave this way to enter our nation, how will they behave once they are here ? answer: with scant regard for the laws.

Use CS gas, rubber bullets, razorwire, and sonic weapons. Shoot anyone that makes it through. This is what happens when you're so soft on immigration that even the poorest people from 3rd world nations all over the world know they can beat you.

BIDEN….and Democrats & Left Reps…..RUINATION of our NATION……STOP THIS..sh*t……Where is $$$$$$$$$$$$ fir PISTED SCHOOL GUARDS….and SCANNERS….to SAVE…..OUR CHILDREN…& SCHOOL STAFFS…….I AM..OUTRAGED??????‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️\nGet this Government OUT…..BaiDEN and His KIND…..OUT…..THROWING out TAX $$$$$$$$$ down the toilet…..??????

It's not hard to stop all this migration. The military can be used along with national guards . Big corporations love this cheaper labor.

Why the hell they want to come to the USA? They can go to China and Russia. The amount of people America help around the world is ridiculous. Since China and Russia think they are in superpower, they should take migrants and help billions $$ to countries not loan trap by China and screwing up nations like Srilanka and Pakistan. They call it American hegemony, in fact they are creating Chinese hegemony. Pathetic hypocrites Chinese and Russian dictators. They have no shame to kill their own citizens and you think they even care about the world.

They claim to be world power but they can't lend a helping hands to their people and there neighboring nation.Why will a nation derive joy in impoverishing other nation?

Hello American Christian Patriots! Do you ignore the WORD OF GOD? \n\n\nI am a stranger and an alien residing among you; give me property among you for a burying place, so that I may bury my dead out of my sight.’\nGenesis 23:4\n\nYou shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.\nDeuteronomy 10:19\n\nThe alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.\nLeviticus 19:34\n\n‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’\nDeuteronomy 27:19\n\nWhen they were few in number, of little account, and strangers in the land, wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, saying, ‘Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.’\n1 Chronicles 16:19-22\n\nI was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame. I was a father to the needy, and I championed the cause of the stranger. I broke the fangs of the unrighteous, and made them drop their prey from their teeth.\nJob 29:15-17\n\nThe Lord watches over the strangers; he upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.\nPsalm146:9\n\nFor if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly act justly one with another, if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt, then I will dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors forever and ever.\nJeremiah 7:5-7\n\nYou shall allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens who reside among you and have begotten children among you. They shall be to you as citizens of Israel; with you they shall be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel.\nEzekiel 47:22\n\nThus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.\nZechariah 7:9-10\n\nYou have heard that it was said, ‘you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy’. But I say to you, love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you.\nMatthew 5:43-44\n\nI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.\nMatthew 25:35\n\nTruly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.\nMatthew 25:40\n\nYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.\nLuke 10:27\n\nThen Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.\nActs 10:34\n\nContribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.\nRomans 12:13\n\nOwe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.\nRomans 13:8\n\nLove does no wrong to a neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.\nRomans 13:10\n\nIn that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.\nColossians 3:11\n\nLet mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured.\nHebrews 13:1-3\n\nBeloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the friends, even though they are strangers to you; they have testified to your love before the church. You do well to send them on in a manner worthy of God; for they began their journey for the sake of Christ, accepting no support from non-believers. Therefore we ought to support such people, so that they may become co-workers with the truth.\n3 John 1:5\n\nAnd I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them.”\nRevelation 21:3

That one tiny crossing is closed, but let's not forget, Canada has the longest unprotected border in the world. Illegal migrants will always be a huge threat to national security for generations to come.

As an African who lives in Africa and is very proud of my continent, I consider this an invasion and I suggest the US should do something, send the military. no one should force himself into another country like this.\n America has a lot of enemies and these people should be checked and double checked before they enter your nation. Seeking asylum is different from illegal immigration.

The balls of these folks in desperation I guess but we should just seize control of those nations put all our needed factories there and put China in our rear view mirror. Sadly that won't happen with this current group of politicians.?

All this could’ve been avoided for the sake of our nation and the people the did the journey to come here, and started when Biden and Kamala said: no child will be returned!! Remember that? It was all a political stunt against Trump cause he wanted to build the wall!!! But now…. The Wall doesn’t sound that bad right? Oh well is too late the democrats have open the border to anyone the wants to come here and do whatever they want, American society is tolerant and weak not to mention acceptance of any type of sick and wrong acts!! Well done Americans y’all know how to pick your politicians!

What happened to Abbot declaring an invasion and deployment National Guard’s. We are being bum rushed.

Something being overlooked is the amount of single chinese male nationals coming thru the southern borders from mexico. They land mainly land in el savador for its no visa requirement with China. From there, they make way thru the durian gap in panama and into mexico. Once in mexico they link with latin migrants attempting to enter America illegaly thru her southern borders

Without the corruption that stymies Mexico, Central and South American countries they would all be very wealthy nations with the amount of natural resources they all have.

We are supposed to be taking in all people fleeing socialist nations.

We need to do something about Texas… they are clearly a danger to national security

Every liberal would be up in arms screaming racism, nationalism, xenophobe, etc. if this happened when Trump was in office.

Unless you demonstrate atrocious social metrics, then we change your ethnicity into a nationality to hide it, the stats are lost and you’re good to go.

They know America border won’t shoot Willy nilly. But the cartel plus their affiliates… they just need the bullets… I remember thinking it’s one thing if it’s on the other side of the world. “It happens” too far for our reach meaning expensive. Unless the “play” reach’s our shores/borders, wait for the batsignal from other nations. But, not only americas borders, even on our land the powers that be be wanting to do nothing bout it. Went in Iraq for what? How much? But on American soil an literal neighbor…. \n\nHow… to… start… some… noise and address the issue the way Iraq got it…. And the “weapons of mass destruction” wasn’t even evident to be there. I heard it if any it was at Iran or some crap other than bush bucket list.

So what is the UNSC doing to solve this civil unrest? I think the important factor to add in is the ties between Maduro and the Communist nations. That now this is causing deeper instability that is beyond what the US can mitigate. Coming from South America to North America? This calls for International condemning by the UNSC and involvement to consider future solutions so these people can live in peace in their own nation. Im disgusted
