This doesn't move me with sympathy, it moves anger in me. My family and I were homeless in the U.S. all because I decided to further my education with a school who claimed to be accredited and all this stuff but quickly found out it all was a sham....so in not securing my deposit on a new place or being financially able to fight an eviction were the property basically got paid twice for bs they didn't handle...all because the irs took my income tax which I was depending on being I just started a new job and had 3 weeks before my first paycheck...we were on the street....everywhere I turned was a wait-list and no one I mean no entity would help us..... claiming lack of funding or some proof of homelessness other than papers proving your eviction....just so many ridiculous things....it took us a while to get off the streets and this is kids born on this soil....with a citizen who never been in trouble with the law, 3.8 gpa, educated and motivated and employed.....on the street and although now we have a roof as U.S. CITIZENS still struggling to find our footing....and STILL NO HELP...NOT A FOOD STAMP NOTHING and the lights are out due to the landlord....soooo I'm not sympathetic of these people....I struggled and still struggling in MY OWN COUNTRY WITH NO HELP FROM MY COUNTRY....GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND FIGURE IT OUT.....

Since when we don't protect our borders with guns and protect our citizens from other nations?

The last few mass shootings have all been immigrants .. They got here being promised they would not have to work and the us taxpayers will cover their bills.\n\nWell after they are bussed to a state , not of their choosing and dumped they realize it was all a lie . \nNot only is no one helping them but they can't find work or housing bc there is a huge shortage here ..\n\nSo they find themselves much worse off in America then they had it in their own country . When the immigrant finally realized all of this and snaps he takes it out on innocent people ... \n\nIt's not surprising .. They flee trying to get to America bc their told everything will be given to them . They get here and find it's a total lie and hit rock bottom . They would rather kill many, many American citizens as a way to push back and be happy to do it because at least in jail they will have a roof over their head and three meals a day.

why is america pretending to be able to help this people? we have enough problems here with our own citizens , we do no need more useless people who want into this country so they can get hand outs

What’s sad is Biden did nothing his whole term to push them back and prevent more from coming, but instead he back tracks an entire construction operation designed to keep them from physically crossing \n\nAn now that CNN tries to report the news, it’s nearly 0.005% that’s true while the rest you have to find out elsewhere. Some pathetic news outlets we have as citizens

These persons arent US citizens, but they are all Americans

This is an invasion in my eyes. I’ve been saying it for years. Shut down all boarder entries for 5/10 years. Nobody is allowed in legally or illegally. We can’t help others if we can’t help ourselves. We don’t need a constant flow of new citizens. All they are is a vote to a particular group.

Then all the illegals get free healthcare and housing that US Citizens pay for from our taxes.

Welcome future citizens ?

A prime example of the result of US shot himself in the foot. Meddled other countries’ business and caused their citizens to come to US to seek refuge. Just Karma! ?

Look at these gentle citizens pushing kids down and trampling them??

i wish it was easier for people to get us citizen ship so the cartels arent able to take advantage of people that are migrating because of them in the first place! and if americans have a issue with more latin ppl coming to america then native americans should be able to kick us out if yall wanna go down that road of reasoning!.....

But we as citizens have to go through customs and show a passport when we come back from oversees. And foreigners such as pro athletes have been denied entry because of a lack of covid 19 shots. This is fucked up.

I wonder how many citizens it would take to hault this invasion? How many citizens would it take to put an end to this Communist Obiden regime?\nI wonder how many people within our military would help defend the USA against this terrorist regime and every damn democrat domestic terrorist within the USA?\n\nOur government is way to big with to much power. And with a huge government comes the erosion of our constitution and our constitutional rights and freedoms.

I got a simple question for All American why hasn't any American citizen looked at the border crises as I keep calling it as an invasion of our country so it's time to stand up at the border and defend our country against foreign Invaders that is an active war to try to illegally take over a border of a foreign country doesn't anybody understand that yet you're under war stupid

American Citizens are now 2nd class compare to Illegal immigrants who stay in hotels in NYC costing thousands for days but the black Latino and white citizens need to share a filty shelter...... ?????\n\nSure I really feel bad for this people but then I need to leave my children outside so some unknown needy person can come into my home, get shelter and then DEMAND PRIVILEGES that should only be for Americans?\n\nAmericans first ...... then if we can, we can help out others but our family first 1,000% and that is no racist or inhuman, that is just how any family would do it.....????

I am all for those who want to migrate to our country. However, we need to fix problems at home. How and why is it we are allowing migrants to effortlessly acquire a higher standard of living than the majority of natural born citizens by crossing an imaginary line? I know there are families who risk their lives and work tirelessly to provide something better for them and theirs. As a father of three young children, trust me I get it! However, natural born citizens get whatever’s at the bottom of the barrel compared to the amenities given to immigrants. It needs to stop at least for now.

The number one issue for Canada and its citizens is the socilaist system thats been created by the Liberal party.High taxes,bloated government,endless subsidies,bailouts,multiple Ministries,and so on...only 15 million Canadians work,and every second dollar goes to taxes.This is why we dont innovate,or create powerful companies.Socialism doesnt work.Look around yourselves.You got loads of savings?You own or rent?Are you skipping meals?Hows the crime in your area?china,Venezuela,russia,Cuba,north korea are all socialist countries,does anyone want to visit countries like that?No.Sadly under tru doh this where we are all heading....socilaism sucks....Pierre for PM

Instead of criminalising refuge seekers, the gov should use them, set a wage that's lower than the standard, charge for their services at the standard, for a period of time, enough for these ppl to get their footing , use the difference to fund programmes and tackle different aspects of the problem, keep tabs on families and individuals by making ppl register, use them to fix infrastructure and do jobs that otherwise go unfilled, many of these people are skilled and hard workers, they will have a reason to stay within the boundaries of society, the country will have more money circulating, but they situation is being misused, it's an opportunity to get ahead, it's an opportunity to increase natural citizens skills and living conditions, to create other jobs and industries, and to fix the economy, strengthen economic and political ties with the countries these ppl are coming from, and also charge a tax in whatever way can be done to these countries per person they recieve.things like housing, many of these workers can build houses, and that gap between lowered wage and standard wage or tax for entering America illegally, could be used to fund better public housing, etc.

Unfortunately the majority of U.S. citizens long for a single party Marxist state to govern the U.S. These very poor illegals will help them greatly to achieve their agenda.

Congratulations to anyone here who voted for ANY Democrat. YOU created this. And now the citizens of this country will have to clean it up because the government refuses to even acknowledge that it's a problem. Just remember, whatever happens, YOU did this.

we demand security we are citizens of this great country

As a native and citizen of America I do agree our government is all over the place. One minute they’re talking about human rights and the next appointing democracy around the world. We do have our issue’s as a nation. For example, poverty, racism, and other human rights violations that have occurred. I say all that to say this, I love my country, it’s people, the many cultures, and importantly our military. Foreigners talk so much smack about Americans, but when s*** hit the fan who they call and run to? USA… We may be separated and divided in some instances, however, we are the S*** and WILL F*** up SOME S***!!!❤ Ijs

I've never wanted the wall more than now. I want massive increased border protection from people like these scum come here legally or don't. We can't afford to have you taking homes from citizens and not paying taxes. BULLLLLSHIT. If Trump runs I'll vote him in.

CNN is fake News. Apply and wait like everyone else. You cant cut line. I wait and apply to America and now US citizen. You are not special to cut line. Period.. Sad but true.

Americans don't want them here PERIOD. Citizens need to start making Militias and take care of this problem ourselves, this is an invasion and if the feds don't want to put their boots on then the American people need to handle it and our constitutional rights allow that. Don't forget that this is my opinion ? fuk Joe Biden and China.

Fuk that sry we need to fix our country first! We too many us citizens that need homes and jobs and healthcare. So not right now Mexico ?

Dont forget it was america that destabalized all these countries. So dont act surprised when their citizens have no other options

Can the U.S. topple a corrupt government where a great number of their citizens are trying to enter the U.S.? Like Venezuela, Nicaragua?

I'm a Canadian living in the UK now. I love Canada with every piece of my heart but couldn't see myself ever being anything other than working poor there. I went to college but couldn't get a job in my field so had to take whatever minimum wage I could get, couldn't afford rent let alone buying a property so moved in with my parents and there isn't any support from the government for average citizens, only if you're an immigrant, disabled etc. I'm not against helping immigrants, disabled people or those that need it, just sucks that if you don't fall into certain categories it means you'll always struggle in your minimum wage job.\nLife in the UK isn't perfect but I was able to find a decent job here, the public transit is actually usable, phone plans and other bills/groceries tend to be cheaper and the working conditions are significantly better. Like I get 32 paid days off a year in my average job which is just wild to me! In Canada my sister who is a police officer only gets 15 days off a year and that's a lot compared to other people, like I never use to get any paid time off at my previous jobs. I miss parts of living in Canada but for the time being the UK is making my life a lot easier.

Why is the Biden administration allowing this to happen? Disgusting! Where is the concern for our own citizens in the United States. Our safety will be jeopardized with their actions!!

Im a canadian citizen, this vid opening my eyes. Thank you guys!

A Country is only as good as its citizens .. the citizens in Canada are so dumb they vote for Liberal Governments that intentionally destroy the economy with mass corruption and out of control spending all while raising taxes higher and higher ! Under Trudeau Canada has 1.3 trillion in debt since 2015 . Under a Conservative government in 2014 we had a 600 billion surplus. The problem with Canada is its control of State run media that lies to the people who are ignorant, the result is an uninformed ignorant voter that continues to vote for the worst possible Polititains.

The boom in 2009 was not exclusive canadian citizens ?

If you disapprove here, I want you to start doing agriculture and only hiring U.S. Citizens or you can just stop using most agricultural products in the U.S.

If only they listened to former president Trump this couldnt happen, Americans do have homeless citizens to solve, thats why Trumps slogan is 'America first'

The funny thing is these people will get more rights and care in this country than the actual citizens.

Looks like AMERICAN CITIZENS will have to defend ourselves from the illegal invaders this should be televised across national television so the world knows what JOE BIDEN has done to our country.

Close down the borders/halt immigration from Mexico downward s.america! America needs to help its citizens 1st. But we really need all new elected officials from city state national!

Being our military is low on filling needed personnel, just have them drafted as part of the process. Then become citizens if they complete a successful enlistment. If not, send them back home. No voting until becoming a vested citizen. .

Dear Fellow Americans and the United States of America,\n\nI am a Kurd who had to flee the imminent threat of death and sought refuge in your great country through the Mexican border. The American police officers treated me with dignity, as I never experienced in my homeland. The brutality that we Kurds endured under the Republic of Turkey forced us to escape in search of a better life.\n\nI implore you to recognize our plight, and I promise I will live every moment of my life with immense gratitude and respect for the United States of America. To me, this country symbolizes a beacon of hope and divine intervention on Earth.\n\nWords are not enough to express my heartfelt appreciation. May God bless the United States of America and its kind-hearted citizens.\n\nWith sincerity and love,\nA grateful Kurdish refugee???

Criminals…..\nInvaders….\nNOT CITIZENS….

This is what machine were guns invented for . Use them! This is a invasion plain and simple . \n Who in their right mind thinks that people that in their very first act violate a countries law . Will be good citizens.\n Why are these people not fighting to make their home country a better place. This says a great deal about their content of their character.

As a Canadian born citizen - the best thing I did was going abroad.

My fellow citizens are mostly selfish lazy gluttons, so no wonder why it’s a shit show

Because Venezuela has been secuestered by political criminals who kill the citizens.

you sound pretty privileged. maybe visiting and living in 3rd world / developing countries that are actually ugly, where citizens don''t see any public or social infrastructure which reflects the taxes or unemployment and diseases are high due to poverty and bad governance may make you more appreciative

As long as a Demorat is the president this will continue. Remember these aren't the smartest people from those countries trying to break in. They will all try to get some sort of intitlement after they get here. We can't take care of our own citizens now so I see it getting worse for Americans in the future. This should prove to all Americans that the government doesn't care about you at all !!!!!!!!!!!

Countries in courage this so they can get employment in the US and send cash back to their families back home. That helps their economy and their government doesn't have to spend as much money to help their own people. So Americans are helping to take care of their citizens for them. That's why those countries in courage people to come and not try and stop them. Just look at all the check cashing businesses on every corner in some cities

And all the lying Dems , the cabinet, and Biden says the border is fine. \nCharge everyone who lied in Congress. And charge the rest of our officials for dereliction of duty, and endangering our citizens
