Desperate people do desperate things, and may take absurd risks out of fear. These people, PEOPLE, are likely terrified of what happens to them in the lawless cartel-controlled border areas... Scenes like this that demonstrate such desperation break my heart. \n\nI don't think anyone watching this would do anything different if their choice was between trying to escape exploitation, robbery, rape, and murder, and getting arrested by Americans who will, at least, respect their human rights (mostly).\n\nDo people really think that any significant proportion of these poor, dispossessed, desperate people, and their children, are criminals trying to infiltrate and take advantage of the US, rather than hoping and praying for a place to live, a decent job, basic dignity, and some safety and human rights?\n\nBut, y'know, let's be honest. There are a lot of Americans that only see brown people 'invading' 'our land'... I wonder how Native Americans feel about this, eh? (Seriously, I'd like to know... Anyone?)

Mexico has literally no enforceable laws, the crime solve rate is like 7% for murders. Literally mad max out there. If people gave a fuck they’d stopped snorting booger sugar and popping fent pills.

Mexico is such a gorgeous place,I’d never go there though because of the cartels and corrupt government and police. Americans need to help ourselves before we can help them

Lots of so-called patriotic Americans seem to be complaining with videos like this. I’d like to see most of them prove with 100% accuracy that all of their relatives came in legally through Ellis island. They probably can’t prove it. Hypocrites

They’d rather fight our government to get in illegally than fight theirs to make their country better. \n\n\nMake it make sense

If they want to come they got to do it the legal way because if we just let anybody in we'd have isis, Russian and North Korean spies n shi# sneaking in. The sad part is they are letting Ukrainians by sneaking them in and cutting the whole line and giving them housing n all that like it's white privilege.

Any other country they'd mow these scumbags down. That's where a 100rd mag comes in handy.

I feel for these people. By accident of birth, they are in a very unfavorable position and trying to seek out something better. In the end, we just try to survive and I'd do the same legally or illegally in their shoes. At the same time, we have to secure our border because we are also trying to survive and our economy just can't take it.

Tbh I'd probably try and break into America too if I was trapped in Tijuana. You know how scary of a place Tijuana is? It makes Detroit look like Beverly hills. Sorry Venezuelans, my thoughts are with you as you try to survive one of Mexico's worst cities.

Poor people don't even know that they're running towards their own doom. They'd be surprised to realize that they'd die faster in the states than in their own countries.

As much as I am for the US getting involved abroad, this is an issue I'd want us to focus on first

I’d rather have these people in my country then the government and congress.

If only they used these numbers to take back their own country. But they don't because they know they'll be shot and we'd be vilified for doing the same

10 miles away 10 tons of coke crossed the border :D

All it would take is a few rounds fired they'd be runnin ?

These people just prove the lack of respect of law and order. What are they thinking that their new country would think of them acting in this manner?!\n\nThis is exactly like the mass immigration hoard by the Turkey-Greek border, that the Turkish government literally planted there to weaken Europe. You could think Mexico shipped them there in busses too.\n\nHonestly I live in Sweden that has gotten alot of internal issues due to inflated immigration and very bad migration. My heart wants to help everyone but the west cannot take in every person seeking financial gain in the world.\n\nI'd rather take a calm family from the forgotten refugee camps in Africa or the Middle east. That is in need for a new home. The people in these camps doesn't even have the means to travel anywhere to find peace.\n\nThe people knocking on our borders are not the people that are in most need.

Makes me so angry, I start to shake. Who the f are they to pretty much demand they be let across?...and look at all the women and children. Overwhelming majority are young men, yet the Marxist media won't report the truth. Sooooo many come here displaying their home flag...they don't come to assimilate and become Americans. I'm all for legal immigration, most of us come from immigrants to the US...but our families didn't come to go on government benefits and promote their home country/way of life over the US. They didn't demand entry and demand we take care of them....like it's our obligation. I'd welcome and love them if they came here the right way for the right reasons.

Forget trying to get in, I’d be trying to get out!!

:D

When China and Russia team up with the Venezuelan people we gonna be f’d

This was the last place I thought I'd hear about Priscilla, Queen of the Desert????

I feel for them. I really do but where are they gonna go? People are struggling to find places to live who were born here plus all the homeless population. Where do these people think they’re gonna go? I know if I were born in a third world country I’d be wanting to get into America as well so it’s just sad all around to see

I think Canada should send back the ones that crossed over us Canadians needa focus on people that were born here. Instead of the ones crossing illegally. I’m most cases we’d be sent back or worse.

CNN spent years banging on about the US being hostile to immigrants and yet here's thousands of people desperate to get in cos they know the US is the best place they could be. I'd happily emigrate to America if I could

Lol Venezuelans saw how easy our recent three administrations made it for Mexican citizens to come into the US, they thought they’d give it a try

Bruh its illegal to just run across if I did it as a citizen I’d be arrested to or stopped

I mean.....back in my day I'd call that an attempted invasion which in itself is a willful act of war soooo.......who knows my my gun is?

Someone told them that if they come and ask nicely, they’d be let in.\nFind that person and punish them

Instead of trying to fix the things that are wrong in their own country, they'd rather try to run to America. It's a shame to see such a failed society that ppl don't even want to try anymore. They're coming with no education or money and expecting to come here and be rich, just because our money is worth more. Wait til they realize the cost of living is way more and they end up like the rest with 15 ppl living in a 2 bed room apartment.

We're polite and nice until we're taken advantage of or treated like an idiot! Kindness is important, but doing what's morally right is more important to me personally! So if that means me speaking up or calling out bs when I see it, I will! I do believe in giving each person their own clean slate. I adjust according to the person! That just means I don't assume anything about a person based on race, the job they have, the car they drive, how they look, the clothes they wear. Those things have no bearing on how I choose friends! It's all about the content of one's character! I do keep to myself most of the time but strive to be kind and polite when I'm around others! But everyone is different. You will run into aholes anywhere you go! Canada is NO EXCEPTION. You have to be careful still about how you move. For example as an indigenous woman I don't go out alone after dark. You can't just trust anyone and leave yourself vulnerable because you never known what someone's intentions are. You can find people that are so unkind. You can also find some of the nicest people in the world here. I imagine the same can be said about any country. Our government certainly doesn't represent us personally. We all have our own personalities and lives! And I don't judge others based on their race religion or their government at home! When I was a kid there was no shortage of people letting me know I'd never amount to anything. So yeah you can find aholes anywhere you go! Please don't leave yourself vulnerable and assume everyone here has good intentions! Especially if you travel alone! We still have a lot of issues you probably never heard of! You have to be careful anywhere you go! ❤

If I was them I’d run across the border lol the police will not chase them they to lazy lmao

This is obviously illegal but people need to remember that our “homeless population” is chalk full of scummy junkies that don’t want to work and succeed. I’d wager these people will actually get a job given the chance. Maybe just round up all of our homeless junkies and drop them off in Mexico and Venezuela. Even the score

These are people. Mass immigration isn't new. Every one in the comments has had ancestors who's done something like this a some point. And if you were in their shoes you'd probly put on your zapatos and try to come here to. Yall ever heard of the LLC? Greatest invention ever. I can start an entity and if it goes insolvent I can let it die with no responsibility. It's called bankruptcy. Every thing we judge people over, we have a part of that in ourselves. So sympathy and compassion should be deployed. As a country we should wish to have a program in the future built with ai and robots that would allow for processing of people at a much faster rate to integrate them into the economy effectively.

It's like a free for all. If I were president I'd institute an national emergency act and protect the border under national security-related threats and deport every illegal alien or give them 20yrs imprisoned. Anyone employing undocumented employees knowingly would recieve mandatory 5yrs in federal custody. Remove the incentive and protect the border.

They agreed to this a year ago. Why'd it take so long? \nTrudeau is disgusting.

Brooo if only they’d all leave the US and go there. Let’s convince them there’s rap and basketball in Canada

When people like me rail against Canada's immigration policy we are called bigots and racists. The truth is that many of us are not anti - immigration, we'd just like to see better preparation - more schools, more housing, more hospitals etc. You cannot just dump thousands of people in an urban area and expect everything to magically fall into place - which is what the mindless twits in Ottawa have been doing

Notice how he says they can be sent back to the US. I'd love to.see how many are actually sent back , I'm guessing zero.

Were they not told that for years? Cross here an d you will be arrested? What's different now

I wonder what our Sleepiest president is trying to cover up with all the smokescreens this time?! I can’t wait to hear Biden’s lame ass excuses for this lil shindig. I mean, damn they rolling in this bitch like they own this mofo! It’s almost like they heard the Gov’t was passing out free money to everyone except for it’s own citizens huh? At least wipe ya’lls feet off before coming in! I’m not a Trump or a Biden supporter, I’d rather toss Kanye into the mix & see what he can come up with now lol at this point, he can’t do any worse than the cluster ducks before him did! #DOBETTERMERICA #MERICA! ?

I'd rather have 1000 Mexicans than 1 Venezuelan. They destroyed South America with crime in 2 years .

I'd open fire

Discussing no one tells are UK girls how to dress if a girl want to were a short skirt go girl it's these small mixed small d,,,,k men who don't like girls and want to control woman well were English don't tell us wat do that mean you

I don't give a rats ass I'd of started shooting my rubber bullets at them!!I'm Mexican born here in the states my grandparents got they're citizenship worked and paid taxes. It's disgusting to see people here getting state benefits with husband's working under the table doing better then people born here.

Where’s all their gear? You’d think they’d atleast have a backpack with essentials, they’re literally bringing themselves and the clothes on their back and expect to it work it out somehow?

Hi! Great video and generally balanced in terms of the ideas expressed. Having lived in Canada for a very long time, I have to say that it's a good place to be but the two glaring problems are: 1- the healthcare system is broken. It's very hard to see a doctor and even harder to see a specialist. We pay a lot of taxes and at the end of the day we don't get the services that we paid for. I'd rather pay out of pocket but get to see a doctor when I need one. 2- Canada is a Nordic country so you'd better like winter when living here. By contrast in the US you have a variety of climates so easier to find something that works for you. The cost of living is, I agree, very high in Canada, but it all depends. If you compare it to living in California or New York City, I'd say that our cost of living is cheaper. But in the US you do have the choice to live in a more affordable mid-size city, while in Canada options are much more limited (big cities only include Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary).

These people definitely get tipped off of weak entry points. No judgement on my part I’d do the same if I had to. It’s a rock and a hard place as an American. I don’t mind being a place that people fell safe, but I do mind how it affects me and my family. Like I said, it’s a rock and hard place.

I also feel like I’d have a better quality of life in Canada. ?

Honestly, imprisoning immigrants is the nicest thing they could do. I wish they'd work on reconciliation and land back, so they can approach immigration in a better way. With proper stewardship of the land and an emphasis on community.
