I get where you're coming from, no one is more patriotic than myself but bro this is the land of hope. My grandfather who raised me is an immigrant who left a life of no hope and growth to come here. He was deported 12 times but each time fought to come back. Now he is a father of 4 grandfather of 7 American citizens. He is the pride of our family for how much of an outstanding person he is. But all this would not have come to fruition if it wasn't for the opportunities that this country provided. I understand our country is struggling but it's not struggling to a point where we have to turn our backs on these people and pretend like we can't help them when help isn't even what they want. They just want somewhere safe to raise their children.

How did they get passed all the other countries? I know some of them got kidnapped by the cartels in Mexico. I'm a Mexican American and this pisses me off seeing a bunch of Venezuelans at our border trying to force their way in having a pity party. It's disrespectful. Fix your own country for your future generations.!

Past 200 years Americans have never ran away from there problems in this country, Americans have fought against the government & any other entities for there freedom, job rights & everything else ... but why do immigrants think running away from there country is going to solve everything, they need to learn to fight against there government & whatever other problems that there having in there own country.

I dont blame them mexico has been asking for are help but we ignore\n we send troops all over to butt in other affairs but in are own back yard we got the cartel blood bath. we in bed with the cartel otherwise these guys have created many terrorist acts on American for years. deals with china and russia.\n\nMexico government would be easy to over throw and control

Come over legally, Americans don't care. Come over illegally, you only hurt those who did it the right way.

they get over here and take all our jobs and be more racist then the white man and we built the world . love AMERICAN CUZ MEXICANS WILL ACT LIKE THEY BETTER THEN WE AS 2 AND THEY THINK THERE ONLY ONE

You are watching the takedown of the United States .. the powers that be know EXACTLY what they are doing. Wake up Americans!! Pray and repent and ask God to help us..

It's funny all the Americans that are against this, considered we basically did this to the Indians, so quite your bitching

Biden admin displaced Americans to give free housing under Resettlement to invaders and nobody does anything to stop it

Trump was trying to get this under control. Americans are struggling themselves

Dear immigrants \nAmerica is NOT what is seems. the rents are to high I’m talking about $2000 just for a 1 bedroom 1bath apartment. Homeless are taking over most neighborhoods. fentanyl is killing a whole generation of kids teens and young adults these are only a few of the many problems we are facing ,so please let AMERICA take care of its problems first \n Sincerely, a worried American

Shit Americans boutta start running to the Canada border it ain't that great, all that work to still be in a shitty place lmao

American should treat Mexico the same way Mexico treats its Southern border which has its military on its Southern border

Landlords gotta go they are the reason for the housing crisis not immigrants. Some landlords own over 50 properties while most Americans don't even own their own home. Landlords gotta go get a job like the rest of us

I dont know the deal down in Venezuela. \nWhy dont they over run the government....STAY IN HOME COUNTRY...MAKING IT BETTER? \n\nOR diff nations gather take over 1 s american country force change? Isnt it a lot closer? You would be near true homeland. Usa is not perfect either\n....its racist selfish greedy too. Just hidden better. I dont know. \n\nI would rather fight and die than beg. ???

Give them guns to take over the U.S. That is how the U.S. was taken over by white people from the Native Indians. Murder has no statute of limitations. Genocide of American native Indians. 40 years ago my friends anthropology professor predicted this would happen. What goes around comes around.

If American politicians stop stealing we wouldn't have homeless Americans and we could help all people who come here, Billions to Ukraine yall ain't bitching about that

Have these people not seen the homeless crisis in the US on tv. Even Americans working full time are living in their cars! \nThe American Dream is over guys ??‍♀️ go home.

Fix our Americans first!

I hope everyone is safe, this is really stupid but I understand the desperation these people must be in to be willing to risk their lives and some with small children with them. It’s heartbreaking and I’m sorry this happening. I’m American but I’m a human being first before anything and this sad to see

Those aren't Mexicans. They are from S. America and have to leave their own country, because of American foreign policies that have destabylized their communities.

Why are they trying so hard to come too the US? Yet Americans are trying to leave or leaving and living in Mexico I'm confused

We need to.stop. birthright citizenship! That is a big draw for young women to.come here and give birth to an American citizen. Citizenship should only be given to babies who have one biological parent!

Soon will be then walk in and Americans walking out

I can’t walk there and I would love to see a Group of Americans walk there . Enjoy the walk is all I can say. And all the democrats can thank their leaders who they voted in…

Good that they bomb rushed the border, they need to leave all their contries,you know that el'chapos son or brother had got bombed with RPG's before biden and them visited over there and is still been cartel wars get very worst est el'chapo family got targeted and for the U.S to act like they dont know what's going and wanna say why ,this is just like in Ukraine when all them people was fleeing that war but the black africans was restricted from the boats and airplanes and was told that the rides was not there for them,they owe them and the U.S didnt keep they word to them they know that that trump band was ended ,and also if they did go through the correct ports of entry and was still denied entry ,the U.S are devious people,a land that they stole from the Indians then put up borders and telling other races and groups that they cant come in ,its not their land to dictate and control and say who can and who cant come here,half of the U.S belongs to mexicans and latinos and hispanics and also indians the real native Americans so sad that this is even going on like this,they owe them to keep their word to them,white supremacy is real ?? !

Why are they coming here to the most racist country on earth sad reality is that we're not as racist as democrats paint us to be imagine being a self hating American and hating yourself and then you see this immigrants wanting to come here to we're there hated by everyone america is not racist is your propaganda machine

Biden is a failure and worthless, this sh_t is his fault. Let whoever wants to get their guns and put an end to this problem! We can't take care of what we already have now, it's BULLSH_T because they're Let in given a home, and money for 6 months until they find what little jobs there are for AMERICANS!

My PARENTS BECAME CITIZENS after a few years of being here in America!!! My mom PASSED AWAY ON THE 8th AN TBH ALL SHE DID WAS WORK AN PAY BILLS AN THAT WAS IT!!! Now SHE DOESNT HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR!!!! “WHAT AN AMERICAN DREAM” SMFH????

In history class I learned that boats used to transport immigrants to both New York (Europeans) and California (Asians). My point is: Why is it a problem letting our closest neighbors in? Central Americans and South Americans. We share the name .

The ones trying to get in will get all the housing and jobs and be taken care of better then actual Americans

The fact live rounds haven't been used tells American people what they're not only funding but welcoming just like our treasonous government is.\n\nUnless you ready to stop funding this through your job and we go and lynch our government for treason-shut the fuck up.

Just remember u did nothing special to be born American. So you wouldn’t understand these people struggle! The American government caused the crisis in their country, so they want to come to get the opportunity that was taken from them by American government. Stop acting like u don’t understand this! U claim to know the temperature of a planet 100 trillion miles away from Earth but can’t seem to figure out the temperature of the Venezuela people? ?????. You stop that.

These people don’t realize how expensive housing in America is and how jobs are not matching the inflation rate . Even the average American is struggling with work, inflation and housing what made them think that they are gonna have it easy. They be watching too many American movies ?

They just keep disrespecting USA and our wonderful president and VP is encouraging it by doing nothing. How about if all these young males want to enter our country and join one of our armed services for four years and then get their citizenship when they are done with their four years? Learn a skill and become an American. It’s a win-win

It's similar in the UK too.what pisses me off the most is the way these people think they are owed a good life but want it handed to them.they like us are owed NOTHING. Americans and Brits have had to work hard for the lives we have so how can these migrants honestly expect to just be given everything? Stupid? ignorant? either is accurate but what they definitely ARE is LAZY

They’re not gonna like it when American people retaliate an actual Americans

All corrupt governments working together. We still have not recovered from the Ukrainians and others just given all of America’s benefits. They sent them to Watts and Compton to suck the Homeless resources and get 100’s thousands that and average American will never see at once in their lifetime. The people of the world must realize that they are the power and must work in their own countries to get it right or the cancer grows stronger every generation.

I don’t agree. I say let them in. Their is plenty of room and opportunity. We Americans are Rich and Fat & have no idea what these people have been through… but what do I know.

If they let them in, there will be more American living on the street.

The homeless are drugged out burn outs you wouldn’t give them a damn dollar if they asked you for one ? these people will work the lowest jobs with the worst pay that so many homeless Americans would never accept, the homeless would rather beg for money cause they’re too busy shooting up drugs ?yall act like y’all give a damn about homeless yall just don’t like immigrants and use homeless as a reason to not let them in, when was last time you gave a homeless a dollar? And when was last time you PAID a landscaper to fix your lawn? How much does a dollar cost? ?

Let them in a lot of Americans sitting at home doing nothing...

I'm Native American thank God

Now the Americans are complaining, earlier nobody appreciate donald trump building a wall…

We should not be responsible for the placement of migrants. This is ridiculous. We should not be helping Ukraine in the form of providing money & weapons. We should not be accepting any migrants into our country. We should not be helping Haiti and we should not be taking in Afghan refugees. As born Americans we can barely feed, clothe & shelter our own families. The US needs to stop making it our responsibility to take on the responsibilities of other countries. We have become a dumping ground of the world’s problems

Isn’t that how “Americans” arrived in the first place

They know now that there is refuge cities. Chicago, Portland, Seattle, the twin cities and that's just a few . If they make it there they won't be deported. Now I work as a cook and cannot get a raise because of this. As a matter of a fact I feel they want to let me go because the back of the house is all Mexican and southern Americans and they use stolen SSN to obtain jobs

They are even in our colleges now. They hop the border the next thing you know they are construction workers building apartment houses they wind up living in? Who's hiring these people and under what premise! AMERICAN BORN COMES FIRST !!! In the subways selling cooked food?,...with babies strapped to their backs??? .... it's insane!

We do not want them here getting Americans benefits.

If this was AMERICANS AT THEIR BORDER THEY WOULD LOCK US ALL UP!@!!!
