Did y’all seriously just ask “why are we seeing this right now?” Really y’all are going to ask that as if this hasn’t been going on the entire time Biden has been in office. What a joke. This has been going on the whole time y’all just ignored it and wanted to act like there isn’t a major unprecedented border crisis going on right now and pretend we don’t have millions pouring into our country from all over the world and we don’t even know who’s coming over but we know cartel and terrorists are definitely taking advantage of this we’ve caught many think about all the ones we didn’t catch. I’m actually shocked to see that y’all are reporting anything about the border crisis. Now if we could just get y’all to actually report just how bad it really is it’s so much worse than what you see in this video. The only time y’all showed footage from towns near the border was when the Biden administration had them clear the whole area of migrants and cleaned the streets so y’all could tell Americans that the crisis republicans say is happening at the border isn’t at all like what they are saying it is which is such a joke. My family has a ranch near the border and it’s been in my family since before Texas was Texas and what is happening today on our border is something we’ve never in all of history seen before and it’s never been more dangerous than it is now.

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 ?? !

People saying Americans can’t find housing themselves, that’s because the majority of them don’t work! These are working people they’ll be fine. It’s the violence and corruption that’s driving them out!

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.

Approx 10 years ago a friend told me of an organized plan with the U.S., UN, other countries to “take United States of American” and change it into a 3rd World Country. The USA as we have known it would no longer exist. We would be reduced to the existence of appearance and daily living as a 3rd World Country, with all the lack of financial means, lawlessness, etc that goes with it.\n\nOne would say this could never happen. Sadly, it is happening right before our eyes. We’ll be in this state by 2025. Open Borders and what we are seeing is part of our demise. Our Government is fully aware of this and involved in the destroying USA.\n\n??❤️???

But americans can go wherever they want to go and take whatever they want to take? Are you going to freed Venezuelans? they say they have a lot of oil there...

I am latina and I live in central america and even tho I know that you Cannot talk about something that you are not experiencing, I have to say they are not running away from their goverment or because they have no way for living! They cannot pretend they can live for free in another country and have same rights that million of American citizens had paid for. They think they Can live in the USA and have everything for free without doing anything!

Yall sound stupid asl saying thry should do that in their own country. Venezuela is fucked up because of US intervention. And the same could be said of Americans, we have been losing all our rights at record rates but no one in the US is uniting to fix it. Stop being judgmental clowns because you were lucky enough to be born within US border. Straight fucking idiots but what can u expect from Americans truly ignorant people

Sorry to say but originally this is a free world that's how god made it. Laws create borders . Without law unfortunately the world would be a zoo it's a hard pill to swallow especially when u are Latino an u see this. I don't understand why Venezuela an south America is so poor now . They need better laws more resources new order every country should learn from the us . ? White Americans will never no how it's feels to a migrant a minority so I really don't appreciate the soft talk these topics should be up to the political system and yes the border should be well protected and respected. Our country is the strongest military I'm the world right? We need to show it.

I realize a lot of people do not understand the world. As first generation American, i can say, 90% of Americans do not cherish their freedom. As i see everything unfold, i realize we might be next to be taken over. I don’t know if y’all would flee or what. China and Russia aren’t using us currency so we can’t monitor their spending. It’s not rocket science to realize what they want.

Why is cnn reporting this, they say the border is ok and there's nothing like this happening???\ngo figure we knew you were lying about it and you called us names,huh, now you know what is really happening,\nI'm in Scotland ??????? and even i know this stuff is going on\nto all of the American patriots keep up with the good fight,fjb ?????????

Friendly reminder that CNN was bought up by a right wing billionaire. They are subtle about it but they will make sure to push right wing narratives like this now - they'll show clips like this which push people into right wing narratives(like saying we need much stronger border control) without any context, exactly as this clip does.\n\n\nThat's not to say immigration isn't, perhaps, a problem - I'm not fully educated on the subject but i will tell you they do a huge number of the jobs Americans essentially refuse to do, like picking fruit for 11 hours a day in the heat and cold. Furthermore, large business owners profit immensely off these people, and a majority of large business owners are Republicans - sure they'll go along with the party line that immigration bad, but they hire these people by the truckload and pay them shit wages, actively and purposely depreciating the wages of American citizens while simultaneously blaming it on nebulous Democrat immigration policies.

Americans saying these people should take of their own countries without realizing its because of US involvement in these countries in one or the other form. You reap what you sow.

The irony is that most ignorant Americans voted for the very government these people are more than willing to risk death to escape. Soon, that will be every American trying to escape CA, IL, NY, etc, and other states will say “No”.

Enough is enough stol this invasion now the American people need to arm themselves and fight this disgusting invasion with extreme force I say treat them like their breaking into your home and use deadly force

I guess bussing them to other states caused Biden to change some policy in October. Other states didn't want it anymore than Texas. It uses up resources that Americans pay tax dollars for and these folks did not. They need to immigrate legally which is what we've been saying all along. CNN reporter why why is this happening. The bar must be very low for CNN reporters.

Tear that bridge down we don’t need it, and we can’t handle any more people in this country. It is making it harder every day for Americans. to survive. You keep given our resources to foreign people that are coming here illegally, and the American taxpayer is the ones that are having to pay for it in more ways than one. America. our government and the American people need to stand up and say enough is enough or it will come The day we as Americans will not have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of because of all the illegals that government is letting in or sneaking in. enough is enough

Wow. This is disgusting. Why have border patrol if they aren't doing shyt! This is why crime and poverty is at an all time high in America. Instead of stupid politicians sending them back immediately, like they did the Hatians, they're giving them healthcare, welfare, food vouchers and housing... Exhausting ALL resources meant for struggle AMERICANS while depleting our tax dollars. Something has to be done. Americans when will you actually UNITE and say enough is enough. These people look like ants flowing in. ☢️????‍♂️

Yet, Americans say our country is terrible. ?

Americans first, and I’m also talking to the ones who say they’re American but then go around always talking in a native language, shits annoying.

As a native American I say let everyone in. Just document them, put them in the system and if you f up or cause chaos we don't want you here and you get ? all y'all are immigrants anyway

This is what the Democratic Party offers everyone, take a good look around. Open borders, taxpayer money going oversees, jobs being given to illegal immigrants over the country’s own citizens, etc. The Democratic Party if fundamentally Anti-American/Constitution, that’s why they want Big Government to have money, power & control over everything! Then they turn around and make you the bad guy if you say illegals should stay out because it’ll damage our economy even further. It’s all ass backwards!!!

People say imagine being born in a 3rd world country like bruh work for change. Imagine being born to slav for people who are lazy. I gotta work so you don't have to ? Kiss my American ahh

This reporter says, “why are we seeing this right now.“ Are you kidding me? They’ve been flooding across our southern border for over two years now! It’s just getting worse and worse and nothing is done! Nothing! We should put 10% of our military on our southern border. This country is being invaded! Invaded! Terrorists are coming into this country. They’ve already caught many of them, but I’m sure they haven’t caught all of them. I’m sure those terrorists are going to kill massive amounts of Americans. What is wrong with our government? It’s about time CNN started to report on this. They should report on it every single day.

Know what's sad is that we help everybody and no one helps us, MY SON HAS A 6 MONTH OLD AND BECAUSE OF THESE PPL AND I THINKING THAT THEY DESERVE TO COME HERE AND BE TAKEN COMPLETELY CARE OF IS NOT ONLY ABSURDITY IT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR HANDS... I HAVE A GOOD JOB THANK GOD, I WORK IN A PLANT I WORK MY ASS? LITERALLY OFF FOR MY SON NOT TO BE ABLE TO FIND FORMULA FOR HIS BABY??? I CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE DOLLAR STORE ANYMORE AND FIND MILK BECAUSE THEY GET IT FOR FREE HERE IN ALABAMA, THEY DO EVERYTHING FOR FREE WHILE US AMERICANS PAY FOR ALL OF IT AND NONE OF YOU WANT TO SAY IT BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE TOO SCARED TO AND I THINK THAT SAD AND COWARDLY WITHIN ITSELF

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.

The cartels are knowingly spreading false information on social media saying Biden is letting everyone through. \n It's sad that many who are claiming asylum, when that's not what is actually needed. They want our way of life, which I can't fault them for, but we can't just let everyone in and give them more than Americans get themselves. \nWe seem to be the only country who is hated for not letting anyone through. Both arms of my family did it legally, they have to as well. Yes, it's hard now, but we aren't in a position to do this.

One person says Venezuela they are all Venezuelan lol. Furthermore… how on earth is it somehow an American policy is studied by people in another country… and this channel has not linked said policy to read.. as well how do people who don’t “speak American “ can interpret legal speak better than Americans

Everyone always say Americans first but when it comes down to anit none of y’all care either…. hypocrites I tell you

As a Veteran I say this: ALL THOSE who hate our country (regardless of citizenship status) who live here, abuse our resources WITHOUT putting anything back into them, and those who leech off Welfare when they can work but are too lazy to do so, should be exiled With citizenship REVOKED! ALL THOSE who want to come live better lives, AND CONTRIBUTE to our great nation, should be allowed to come and live here. THAT is the American Dream. THAT is American.

I get wanting a better life. But American people need to come first. Veterans need to come first. We deserve to have happy lives more than others just bombarding into our country. America can’t even take care of it’s own people first and that’s embarrassing. Every country has a strict way to be able to get in/get citizenship. Yet, when it’s America, everyone yells racist, classism, etc. WE are more important and I will forever say that people who aren’t from here do not belong until they do it the right way.

I know they're looking for a better life but what exactly is it that they're hoping to get after they get here? Say 10% of them have family in the country that if they get to them, they can then be fed, clothed, and sheltered.\nOk so now the other 90% come across both illegally and in this case aggressively feeling entitled but without any resources of their own.\nAgain the question is what are they expecting to receive in the way of assistance once they're inside the U.S.?\nSection 8 hud housing has enough problems finding housing for low income housing insecure Americans. The public Healthcare system is completely maxed out as it is! U S. Department of Agriculture has instituted EBT cuts in many places and warn of future funding shortfalls!\nI'm a leftie, a definite progressive Democrat and agree with absolutely nothing as regards any GOP policies, save this!\n\nAgain, what exactly is it that these folks are expecting to be provided to them by the government of a foreign country when the U.S. Can't take care of its own people at this point?\nI'm sorry but there are previously earned just entitlements and there is the earned nothing entitlist attitude!\n\nYou will give to me because I demand it!

My parents came illegally and I've have never seen a welfare check in my life. Except all I saw was my parents working 7 days a week and started paying they're taxes just like everybody else when they got the residency and American citizens ship. So when you or anyone else says shit was given to us for free I do not know what F$@%! your talking about.

And when i say the wall need to be built popple look at me like I'm racist like i am immigrant i was poor born in a port in God grace we manage to get our visa and passport, i am not even joking qhw. I'm saying one day we will only eat rice i know where I come from, war, dangerous street at night, just crazy stuff be happening like this is not right it doesn't matter how u look at it American as an immigrant yes there are certain i don't like about the country but what the hell is this.

Hell there ain't nowhere to live I just going to be homeless once I get here. I'll be sleeping with her cousins foot in their mouth every night. And why should we pay taxes as Americans when they ain't going to have to pay taxes in the government's going to treat them better than they do us I say everybody should stop paying taxes cuz it's supposed to go towards helping our communities and our country and it's not. It's going towards helping everybody else. Everybody else that ain't pitched in

That lady obviously thought all she had to do was say, Venezuela and she would be let into the US. Enough immigration. It should all come to a halt for at least the next 10 years. Biden and his Puppet Masters are responsible for this mess! Biden is not only letting them in but handing them EBT / WIC benefits as well as SSD Disability. I work as Cashier at “W” and I see it all day long. Meanwhile, American citizens, the elderly cannot afford to buy food for themselves and their pets.

I will say I have been lucky in Calgary (moved to Alberta in 2011; became perm res in 2018) with my healthcare. I have a great liver specialist and family doctor as well as a backup. I just fell and cut the back of my head Monday (2 staples but nicely done; I do not feel any pain). I know that is not common for people. I think some of it is timing based on the comments. It will only get better if we quit USing it (i.e. politicizing it). As an ex-pat watching that dumpster fire, moving to Canada in 2010 (first year in YVR) was the right step for me (however, that said, being that I am plain white looking male, I know that made it so easy at least until I applied for Perm Res. Then, being a white american worked against me). Luckily, I had been involved with a Canadian citizen several years whom sponsored me for Perm Res. I really enjoy seeing your POV in your videos. Thanks for posting them.

All of yall saying your american because it took your family years to migrate cmon these people are less fortunate than you they didint choose to be born in poverty ,whats the difference between you and them they deserve the same opportunity you got ,you are no better then them , the us has resources and opportunity to let these people work amd prosper but instead the us spends thousand of dollars to keep prisoners nice and healthy in jails to provide for the scum of the earth , in my opinion we should deport all the american trash we have behind bars and committing crime and give these men and women who come from poverty a chance to make a living and raise their family in this country

Do these News anchors know or realize how bad Juarez is??? how inhumane you sound when you say that they should fix their problems in Mexico??? Mexico doesn't even care about fixing it's problems!!! I say seek a better life it's what any living American would do if America was anything like Mexico or Juarez believe that!!!

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!

Well lady that's talking about it, saying we need border protection why don't you put down the mic and take your brave self over to the border and protect it.. As far as we know they could be running to taco bell, or to pizza hut to use the half price coupon. But the American media will tell us anything and we are prone to believe it while the toxic media sit in front of the camera... Feeding us lies... ????

These fkn dirt ppl ain’t taking us serious when we tell them they can NOT enter the U.S. and claim ASYLUM and take legal residence within minutes because u have HUMAN RIGHTS!!! FUCK NO!!! Before y’all come running and crying over here, y’all NEED to take dis shit up to YOUR OWN FKN GOVERNMENT and bring all ur drama to YOUR GODDAMN PRESIDENT!!! Ask YOUR LEADER of YOUR COUNTRY for PROTECTION and a BETTER LIFE!!! Why should AMERICA help you when you extort, kidnap and torture AMERICANS (mostly tourists), especially our WOMEN and CHILDREN!!! Without MERCY or REMORSE, but with CRUELTY and ENJOYMENT, you VIDEOTAPE CUTTING OFF the HEADS of MY FELLOW AMERICANS and POST IT ON THE INTERNET!!! And now u say we AMERICANS have a DUTY to PROTECT YOU and YOUR FAMILIES?!! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUR FAMILIES!! And FUCK YOUR GODDAMN COUNTRY!!!\nTo ALL of those ppl who are trying to force their way thru our border patrols…. We will NOT welcome you to America with smiles, hugs and flowers… but instead we’ll greet you with LEAD, COPPER and GUN POWDER!

Sorry…hate to go full bloodthirsty dictator here…but rightabouts now would be the time to start dumping some rounds. At least into the air. There’s protocols for entry into the US. If you’re not going to do it legally, then I’m sorry, our system can’t support you. I’m not saying all illegals are bad…but would it hurt to just come here…idk…legally? We’re already suffering from a bloated government and military industrial complex, which most Americans SHOULD know, is how the majority of these “politicians” have such high net worths, let alone the systems we have in place to help immigrants. We’re on the verge of a collapse financially…we need to cut back government spending and we can no longer place this kind of money to immigration, or the government themselves.

This is more about their perspective countries than it is about the US\nWe invite all that want to come UNDER THE LAWS SET for this country. We have a right to have standards. U may call that hipócrita bcuz “Then let them all in” well…..\nI think it goes w/o saying that is an impossibility if u want to people entering to fall under a certain type like non violent or fraudulent criminals\nSo many people in that vid would probably make fantastic Americans but peppered through that crowd of people in need of safety and a country that will help their cause are some who don’t have good intentions \nAmericans should look at each other as a patriotic family and the people we choose to enter should chosen in that light

The Americans in the comments make me sick for how little sympathy is on display and how racist and hateful y’all are being. I’m not saying they should be let in, but as a child of an illegal immigrant who came for a better life and then worked his ass of to become a legal citizen of this country just for this country to hate him… it’s sickening. You white folk seem to forget your roots here in America for how fuckin hateful you are towards immigrants.

For people saying Americans can’t even find homes Lol do you know how many houses are vacant in nj and ny as investments ? Enough to solve world hunger and homelessness

They say immigrants take advantage of America but it’s Americans that take advantage of immigrants paying them low wages and work all day with minimum breaks and mandatory overtime but with straight pay not time and a half or benefits cus they know that they’re undocumented and can’t go to the labor board and say anything so who’s really using who ?

Let’s March all the liberal college kids who hate the American flag and put them down there on the other side See how fast they will beg to come back But just proudly run the flag up the pole and say no

Why is this happening? Because the GOP continues to lie and gaslight Americans and say that the southern border is wide open. Immigrants hear this and believe it. As you can plainly see, the border is not wide open.
