I’m American. \nIt’s so hard for me here in America I’m damn near a step away from being homeless. \n\nMy country an people have abandoned me. All is lost here. If you’re from here.

No jobs in Canada, cold weather, boring cities&people introvert people and anti-social people, inferior Canadians who love to compare themselves with Americans all the time...They do not miss anything by not going to Canada. Toronto is modern slavery capital, the east coast is full of narrow minded people, Quebec na na, Alberta is wild rose province( name itself tells its people), MB and SK are too cold too boring too dull. Only maybe BC!. Yes Canadians are kind too. They will fart in public and say sorry!

The saddest part is that some of these people will work harder and longer than the lazy Americans here.

450,000 homeless Americans now. It’s a fucking slap in the face to house any foreigners before we take care of our own people. We elected this Government to look out for us, not illegal immigrants.

I think people that hire them should lose their business.\nApartments that house them she lose their property then you won't have that kind of problem everybody that you loses their services has to pay . Dearly now that's putting Americans first

New president and Senators see what you did you see what you caused it's these young people that don't care how they get in there but they determine the coming here don't speak English not fascinated nothing but they're coming in here you cost the real mess is what you did and you white Americans taking things from others this is your doing you reap what you sow?

The whole Native American argument is irrelevant. Hate to tell you but the borders have been set and the land has been tamed. Learn native history as well before you make the “did the natives say the Europeans were welcome here” because other tribes can make the same comments towards other tribes. Now that we are a country we have laws. We can’t be picking up the slack for other countries and taking on new immigrants while we can’t provide adequate affordable housing for our own people. Don’t tell me Americans are just selfish because the housing in this country is fked. Heck only a quarter of my graduating class has moved out of their parents because the rest of us are in school tryna seek better careers with more pay. Don’t tell me housing is affordable when the cheapest house in Sacramento was $300,000 and was a two bedroom burned house.

They have 0 zero respect for our country. It's not America's fault that other countries are so dangerous to their own people. That being said, yes, morally we should help people. But the people in need of help need to be respectful and follow the boundaries (laws) of the country trying to help. This is ridiculous and dangerous. They are not US citizens but they think they can just push their way into our country. We as Americans from USA are not allowed or able to do this to other countries

Why are we letting people do this on our border no other country in the world would allow this if Americans did this in Mexico I am sure they would use violence against us

America belongs to indigenous people they have the say not Europeanz who call themselves Americans ?‍♂️

You see this because you all cried racism bs when trump tried to make sure the boarder was secure and build the wall, so we could try to fix our country and the millions of folks here suffering and then build build us to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN so we can help folks in need. And be sure that people with I’ll intentions can not rush the boarder like this incase any, if not many of those folks were here to do harm or to our country or Americans that live here. And this is what you get for playin identity politics. Now the left will do as they do and try to say Trump and Patriots let them in. Wtf.

US Army invaded almost every Latin American country. Those people are following THEIR wealth. I am a 5th Generation US born Mexican descent living in OCCUPIED Mexican territory. Let's just face facts white folks.

How much more are we, the native and legally earned American citizen’s, going to take from this dumb ass President and his cabinet of fools?\nI’ve had more than enough and it’s way past time the American people reinstate President Trump. \nOr have the democrats caused enough confusion by trying so hard to find criminal charges against Trump that we’ve started to believe the Bullshit Pelosi wanted us to believe even before Trump took office? \nI’m so disappointed that our government does nothing to halt the situations Biden has us in now that are truly detrimental to our way of life and will haunt our children and grand children for decades to come. I love my country with a passion and I truly hope there are some intelligent politicians that will finally put a stop to Biden and his poorly implemented policies and decisions that we are forced to endure. This dumb President must be stopped now, but it may already be too late. Yet I still say Power to the People so let’s do something about it. If Biden really won the election, those who voted for him should be very ashamed of that decision. \nLet’s reinstate the man who really was making America Great Again.

There is something they are running from the government is responsibility to ensure the safety of all people who ever wants to come into this country for we are American people and we have to do this for the American flag and shouldn't we be more than a bigoted bunch of obnoxious politicians who crippled the country of viniswala and three other adjoining countries in this ERA of the world of energy why are we still abandoning the constitutional right to all people of the world..????

Americans are having enough issues these people will only find even harder lives if they get in

The American people do not want these illegals here put the military on the border or the militia

?? how sarcasm peoples is. they came to america and blame american for something.

This is nothing but an invasion you can clearly see these people do not have any respect for our country or our country's laws.\n Shame on our government especially President Biden and the Secretary of DHS for allowing this.\nPlease we all have to remember as these illegal immigrants lighting flooding across our border are bringing fentanyl which has killed over 70,000 Americans in just one year.\nThey are not being vetted guaranteed to be rapists murderers and child molesters mixed in with these people pouring over our border.\nENOUGH

Don’t let any more of these people in there’s hardly enough houses for Americans not to mention jobs

I have no problem with immigration. WHEN ITS DONE LEGALLY. That said, it’s not just South Americans coming across the border. People from ALL OVER the world are. Even terrorists. And our government does not care.

How much more are we going to be slapped in the face as Americans? We the people could go down to the border on our free time and run these assholes off our front lawn. We outnumber them 400 million to one. We have to quit waiting for the government to do its job and we're going to have to do it for them or else it will never get done. I will be happy to lead the way but I'm going to need some damn help. Where's my fellow Americans at that give a damn about the Constitution and about our freedoms let's get together and run these people off our front lawns by front lawn I mean the damn border. We don't need the government's help why can't we come together and do something constructed that's worth a damn for a change. I swear to God I will lead the way All I need is 200,000 plus people to help me. Let's run these people off our lawns without the help of the sorry ass government. Let's show the government that we don't need them for anything and let's take our country back by storm.

Oh well thanks to the Democrats for this and goodluck to the working Americans because they are going to feed thousands of leech that will benefit from other peoples tax and goodluck for the increse crimes there.

The Americans want to be the police of the world so bad and they can't even stop people for crossing their own border ????

Good. Borders are stupid. Allow people to find happiness anywhere they can. Americans are fascists about borders. In general really.

Fuck it yo we’re all Americans?. Going against the government an the people who say they have no stake or right. Sounds American as fuck to me.

Didn't Venezuela already sue Obama for the US immigration policy back in 2014? They did because these mass migrations crash the South American economy's because there's no one working. If only these people fought as hard in their country...

They’re not asylum seekers, they are asylum breakers. If asylum is what they seek, send them to the insane asylums. You gotta be crazy for wanting to voluntarily move into Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York or Chicago. You know, the worse places in the USA to live. Unless you are well off to begin with.\n\nMy rant: I swear politicians use the illegal immigrant border crossings as media fodder or campaign debate ammunition. Why not set up a program financed by their home country and ours to get them physically and financially healthy to work or start businesses in their home country? Physically, because they are coming here with all kinds of old world curable diseases, due to being born into an inadequate healthcare system. Not really their fault. The cost of living is so low for them that they could afford a future of prosperity or middle class lifestyle in their country of origin. Force their governments to change economically to sustain themselves for their interests. Imposing themselves upon a nation no longer prospering as it did during and after the Industrial Revolution is senseless. There is hardly any upward mobility in blue collar jobs, ever more so in the labor market. If they are not making $40K/year (assuming the majority has not a college degree in something marketable, advanced skills, a tradesman or artisan) then they’re struggling like everyone else in the service industry. Jobs for teenagers, entry level workers, part time jobseekers like for students, people needing extra income cause it’s so expensive in CA, NY, Austin, TX, Chicago or SF living off work entry-level service jobs. Technology has created a shortage or labor gap between unskilled jobs. Jobs that Americans need while pursuing training or technical degrees for the new skilled jobs. \n\nImmigrants do not need to fit the stereotypes of working in the service industry or as farm workers. American citizens can fill these labor positions quite easily. No, immigrants, work visa or not, do not work any harder, smarter, slower or faster than anyone else wanting to work. If someone is motivated to work an unskilled labor job then they will be just as effective as the next person. The HR for these companies definitely virtue signal and satisfy diversity quotas every time they hire someone due to their work status or ethnicity. Everyone and anyone can be replaced and so the question is, who do you, as an employer, want to replace the job vacancy with? Gonna hire cause they are a good fit or because your helping some politicians cause? Gonna grant asylum cause their lives are in danger from a government firing squad or because Biden/Harris will pat you on the back? \n\nThere is reason to illegally enter this country and it is disrespectful, disgraceful, dishonorable, dishonest and disheartening to the ones who are here legally by going through the process like everyone else paying time and money. Even Christopher Columbus paid to be here, no one handed him a free ticket to ‘paradise.’ The Mayflower patrons weren’t met with resistance by the indigenous community, they were harmonious. If there was a border in Maryland at Plymouth Rock, I am sure the Puritans would stop there first to get their passports stamped. I mean hell, these ‘asylum seekers’ don’t have the courtesy to get passports, why not? Passports are not that expensive considering what they pay coyotes. It makes no sense and is suspect. They won’t get stopped at the border if they have a passport!!!

These the type of people to spend their first American pay check on beer and a new iPhone pro max

Such a shitty border control, imagin this is your home and zombies wanting to invade, cause these people are not wanting to be in the us Because they love America they love that America give free money. I am from Iraq and was there from the beginning, it took my family 5 years of documents and interviews, with UNHCr, IOM, AND OTHER ENTITIES TO ENTRE THE US LEGALLY, WE PAY TAXES, AND WE PAY BACK TO THIS COUNTRY, BOTH MY BROTHER I WERE REGISTERED WITH THE SELECTIVE SERVICE from the age of (18-26) Because we WANT TO BE A positive member and a PART OF America, UNLIKE NOW WERE PEOPLE ARE STORMING OUR BORDER, AND THE NEWS STILL BLAME MEXICO ?Instead OF BLAMING THE ONES WHO REALLY KEPT OUR BORDER OPEN. \n\nTRUMP DID NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN BUT Brandon MESSED UP WITH HIS FAMILY AND NOW MESSING UP THE AMERICAN Families SO HE FEELS BETTER ( GET RICHER AND RICHER)

Took my family 16-20 years to legally immigrate to America and these people feel that they are entitled to just come over here whenever and have taxpayers pay for their welfare. American first.

These aren’t the future Americans I want plain and simple. It’s not being cruel. These people don’t all deserve a pass.

Why isn't our military lined up, completely armed and ready to shoot in situations like this? Plus less people could sneak in if we were lined up. I'm actually surprised the people who live here haven't decided to do the same since this administration won't do anything. Americans are having a hard time. We cannot take these people. How date they think they can do as they please and just barge their way in. This is ruining our economy n national security!!!!!!!!?‍♀️

We need the wall completed. And a second fence on the American side to keep people away from the high density minefield in between them. Trust me, they'll stay home.

my god at every given moment of our lives there are people funneling into the US. this is why they cheated trump so they could do this, do what? Dilute the power of the American people. It’s blatantly obvious. Trump was truly making America great but now the White House is a circus once again and you Biden isn’t commander of anything

CBC makes it out as if these people were fleeing Auschwitz at the American Border—perhaps if they were still across the Atlantic or the Pacific but no they were in North America. I don't think they're fleeing extermination at that point. With the exception of few places in Latin America, the Americas are the safest continents on this planet.

YOU GO TO THOSES COUNTRYS AND THE PEOPLE FROM USA CANT BUY LAND THEY COME HERE AND THEY GET EBT SNAP MEDICAL HOUSEING AND SOCIAL SECURITY I WAS SHOCKED TO WITNESS THAT AMERICANS THEY ARE STEALING FROM US SEND THEM ALL BACK PERIOD. ARE MIDDLE SCHOOLS HIGH SCHOOL ARE OVER Crowded WITH ALL THEM IMMIGRANTS AND THEY COME HERE AND HAVE ALL THOSE BABIES BORN HERE ITS INSANE STOP STOP GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY ?????????????????????????????????????????

If real Americans came to LA and see how much some of these people actually make as far as money they would we really think their lives… it’s sad that foreigners make so much doing so little. Not all, but a lot of them are on 39 an hours or more! With benefits, pension, medical everything

I would think all the socialist American kids that think it's so cool should be wondering why people want to leave such an equal socialist society as Venezuela.

Why are Americans mad? Europeans get to enter kill people take their lands, but Mexicans or venezuelans or aby south American people can't enter that land?\nI find it extremely bizarre

Latin American governments should be held aggressively accountable for not protecting their people. Fines should be implemented on governments to place pressure on their lack of evolution in structures

The American People had better fix this invasion or kiss your life goodbye. Your daughters will NOT be safe even in their homes. These folks are parasites illegal invaders who will destroy the United States, as our fraudulentecy is doing just that. Wake up America.

These are Central Americans, South Americans, and Caribbean people.

This is the effects of the Americans democracy there in south America. Blocking their money and sources what did they expect.? People going lo looking for food and shelter they won't starving

HORDES OF THE APOCALYPSE \nCanada doesn't have the resources to stop 1 million+ newcomers from the US every year, while Biden and company don't care much about closed borders, so once the republicans regain power, illegals in America will stampede into Canada on a scale never seen before in history, mostly in Ontario and Québec, but also the West: The federal and provincial governments are powerless to stop this coming migration of newcomers into Canada because the border is very great and the wave is an ocean of peoples from the US southern border. The newcomers are socialized in despotic and troubled countries, so their strengths, tenacity and hardened ways will cause them to displace traditional Canadian minorities, and they will soon control the levers of big city political and economic power. Whosoever stands in their way, namely Darwinian and Marxian elites, will be ruthlessly cut down. The worldhood of the world is the worldization of the world's worldality, the worldliness of the world, viz., the worldline: The developmental unification of the coaxial integration of the American world. Christopher Richard Wade Dettling, American Idealism, 2023

People don't be dumb. This isn't only Venezuelans! You think Mexicans and other groups aren't taking advantage of this chaos? \nAlso, Mexicans kill me with this nonsense they already been here before anyone else claim. On one hand they want to use this as to claim to be a native American, yet they don't claim to be native Americans, they claim to be Latin which is a European heritage/ethnicity via the Spainard colonizers. So because they claim to be Latin, they're also European invaders technically.

How is this not considered a hostile invasion and why isn't the border protected like other counties where trying to sneak in is considered a threat to security of its citizens. Theres a right way, but much like the entitled generation that has started its way into government, they have always had money and most likely have never been the victim of a violent home invasion. All these undocumented people are essentially criminals, theres no way to identify them so they can run rampant and create chaos causing serious situations for citizens all while getting everything they want for free and leaving a huge trail of unsolvable homicides in their wake. Millions of leaches that have never paid a dime into this countries assistance programs are bleeding us dry while working under the table and selling their food assistance money while creating Millions of victims in the process. Our president is letting this happen while working with China which is who sells the South American countries the illegal chemicals for drug production and these people are coming here and literally tearing the country in half. They steal guns rob and kill people with no real punishment, yet a good hardworking citizen shoots one whos burglarizing and the community wants that citizens blood when hes done everything legally and protected his family and gets crucified for being a productive law abiding citizen versus a parasite that is only here to take everything they can

Americans going and trying to start a coup in Venezuela is an invasion… people trying to find a better life is not… with that logic… Anglo Saxons are an INVADING species to the Americas.

As a non American, I cant figure out why you white Americans treat these people ( mexicans,latin americans) better than your African American brethren. Atleast African Americans gave American culture jazz, blues, rock n roll, doo wop and almost all of pop culture. Heck African Americans were in the war of independence, civil war etc. America WILL be unstoppable if whites and blacks united. End your racial tension NOW and save your nation. Though the begginings of your nation were turbulent ( between both groups ) it was destiny you both came together.

We need unlimited cheap labor for business. American workers are so lazy and selfish that they think they are worth more than third world labor. Why should rich people be extorted on the cost of labor when a child in India for example works for 10 cents an hour. Open the boards 100 percent. Nobody who works with their hands is worth more than a dollar an hour.

I came to the US legally, paid tons of money and time go through the lengthy process, if you tried to run the border like that where I originally come from, you will be greeted with 7.62x39 AK full auto. These people are abusing the civility and respect of human life that Americans have, this is wrong and unfair for the people that made it here legally and paid a high price for it.
