  1. Migrants will be building Ford's at $5. Dollars an hour

  2. US is trying too hard to be the social worker of the world. We can be compassionate but we need boundaries. Sounds like US is co-dependent, helping others at the expense of our own stability.

  3. Hes allowing criminals in our country and now they can work with no questions. Yalls president is a disgrace!

  4. No wonder there is so many homeless on our streets a criminal can come in and just take a hard working Americans job like nothing.

  5. The " work permit " excuse is more BS ! Where I live youll find mobs of illegals working for cash . You think they want to pay taxes ? They are here to take , not give ! They pay taxes ….then theyre on the hook for child support !

  6. Great reset going as clockwork

  7. Nearly 6m have apparently crossed the border under Joe's watch.What's another 500K to worry about , sheesh !

  8. Somebody impeach this guy already.

  9. Nunca había visto tal estupidez de un gobierno..

  10. Biden has grown senile…the old man has lost his mind.

  11. You voted for this if you voted for Biden. Remember calling someone racist for wanting a secure border and wall?

  12. American vote for Biden and now it's pay back

  13. Biden is corporate tool. We're voting RFK Jr. This border nonsense is so wrong on many levels but basically it is by design in order to destroy USA workers leverage for better wages. Citizen Militia need to close our southern border. Enough is enough.

  14. How tf is the Biden administration giving them temp legal status and work permits when Mexicans have applied legally and they have been denied. Venezuelans are a bunch of mooches. For everyone, don’t trust a Venezuelan because they will do anything to get you criminally charged for citizenship. One guy tried saying I hit him and I was never even near him. Luckily I had witnesses. 😂 They will try to get you.

  15. Oh and this will only make the problem even bigger,thanks to the demented potato

  16. The failed Biden administration owns this. Impeach now.

  17. nbc getting what they want , destruction of america at the hands of their partner, the democratic party

  18. People are seeing what's happening with NYC getting destroyed by the migrants and Democrats. Donald Trump may not be a good person but he made Title 42 worked for the American people. Democrats are too slow and too careful and are manipulated by Ukraine, Israel and the green energy mafia. MEANWHILE, CALIFORNIANS LIKE MYSELF CAN'T AFFORD TO PUT GAS IN MY BEATER CAR TO GO TO WORK! TRUMP WILL SHUT DOWN THAT BNSF RAILWAY AND PULL THE USA OUT OF THE 1951 REFUGEE CONVENTION AND DEPORT ALL THESE MIGRANTS! TRUMP 2024!

  19. IF YOU DONT LIKE BIDEN,
    DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

  20. If the point is to destroy America the Mommy is the white house is doing a great job 👏 👌

  21. defund EVERYTHING until this stops!

  22. the public should DOX every single company person that hires these criminals…remember, no vaccinations, no background checks

  23. It's just a matter of time before they're digging up the graveyards to see if there any jewelry buried in the coffins.

  24. First and foremost, we are proponents of human rights. With that being said we also see this as a bad idea from so many perspectives. Also, let's note that it's pretty obvious that the asylums and other humanitarian gestures are offered on a "selective" basis with ethnicity being a predominant driver in that decision making process. At the end of the day where does that leave Americans? Those of us who have been here most of our lives and who have help to build this economy, this country we call home. How is it possible for us to spend resources on others while neglecting our own? We have cities in this country that are crumbling right before our very eyes with no help in sight, yet we are able to find resources to assist 11 million immigrants 😮. Baffling at best!! Its like the neglected step child verses the Johnny come lately. Ultimately, these entities will come here, work and send US dollars back to their countries while Americans continue suffering. An alternative: why not reverse the process? Instead of spending US dollars to house, feed and provide employment to our immigrant brothers and sisters, why not send some of our best and brightest to their countries to help rebuild their infrastructure and economies directly? Why not invest US dollars for US citizens to do that?🎉
