A surge in migrants is straining both border towns and big cities in recent weeks. Many of the asylum seekers are from Venezuela and some have trekked through the Darien Gap to reach the U.S.

We have working Americans who live on the streets because they can't afford the outrageous rents in this country but idiot biden brings in illegal s and puts them up in hotels on tax payer money wtf and no dufus don the draft dodger is not the answer ok trumptards
It's so sad to see that south and central amercan governments can't take care of their own people!
I don't care if they're from vanitzwella or Europe or Switzerland anybody coming to America for a silent should be holding up the American Flag.
That's a dust going over to a different country and hold in the American Flag. That's worth seeking asylum.
There's a lot of stupid people out here. Especially our government, the democratic people getting paid off by the globalist like George Soros black rock.
Tired of the globalist man, we gotta cut off that head off the snake and get rid of the globalist. That's including Bill Gates.
Not surprised. You see more gay flags than American flags these days
You want to make a better life for your child go through the process
As I do feel bad for their situation they need to go back and start working on change in their country. We have enough problems in our damn home. Americans aren’t being taken care of. We are bleeding and suffering because of this countries current policies! Vets shouldn’t be removed from their house for an illegal! That is crazy. Please go back to your country and change what you don’t like! Americans are on a bus the struggle bus and immigrants aren’t helping At all. CLOSE THE DAMN BORDERS BIDEN!
Burn their flags and send the scum back.
America was formed by people coming with nothing, who fought for change, started revolutions, courageously organized, and stood up against oppressive governments like British monarchy. Young people don't seem to stay in their own countries and create change. Access to social media – because everyone has a phone, even in the most impoverished places, makes people want the things they see people have in affluent countries. But instead of letting that inspire them to work toward something better, they risk their lives to flood borders and demand to be given more. They go and hav kids they can't afford and then take their children on these dangerous journeys, the is not commendable. America can't keep up with millions flooding the borders and it will eventually lead to a war if the US isn't more strict in disallowing it. I live in a place of the US full of immigrants and they cause nonstop problems. I have been very liberal and open, my own partner is an asylee, but this is too much. Close the borders completely until people stop. Turn them back, if they die, it is because they made the choice to do something crazy and are responsible for their own lives.
Biden is a clown and the border is his circus
Send them to Detroit theres plenty of old homes sitting there.
In my city, there are several section 8 apartment complexes. These are full of migrant families several families per apartment. Occasionally, I get stuck behind school buses on the way to work, I kid you not.., dozens upon dozens of migrant children fill up 2 school buses at just one stop at a complex
HOW CAN YOU HAVE A PLAN THAT REQUIRES THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF SHELTERS THAT ARE MOST LIKLEY GOING TO BE PERMANENT,, KINDA LIKE FORCING A GALLON INTO A QUART CUP… BUILD ENTIRE COMPLETE EMPTY TOWNS , JUST TO HOUSE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS ALL FOR FREE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BETTER THINGS TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON ,LIKE UKRAINE
Not ALL the sob stories are true. These ILLEGALS have NO respect for our laws or our culture as Americans. They SHOULD NOT be climbing our border walls or pushing through barbed wire fences.
This country is a MF joke. Border Patrol cutting the fence to LET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS in.
So apparently Soros, the UNHCR, Catholic charities, and the World Economic Foundation are in charge of the US border.
Just as a cell cannot survive without a cell wall, a nation cannot survive without a border.
This is what destroyed ancient Rome by letting the Vandals into the Empire.
This is WHY we can't have nice things.
The Biden Administration is completely to blame for intentionally having an open border. Please vote Republican in all the upcoming elections if you care about the future of the USA!
For goodness sakes, take care of OUR VETERANS FIRST before an Illegal immigrant.
Has AMERICA no AMERICAN homeless that need help FIRST?
Ask these quislings that
Only an ENEMY WITHIN would cut the wire ant let NON-CITIZENS into America.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
Where is the UN?!!!
Declare war on South American countries and overturn their govt to help the people. Better than this crap
This guy had it so bad he decided to leave his family. Left his mother, and Im
sure sisters and possibly even a child or wife. Hmm if these people are leaving family behind, all I can question is if their situation really that bad.
Sent them all back!
It's time to stop 🛑🛑🛑
There is a difference between legal immigrants who come to America spending a fortune by getting a visa and a permit. There are refugees who get asylum from the government and are legally allowed to reside in America. Then there are illegal aliens who cross the border without visa without permit without asylum, this is illegal and should be dealt severely. It's a failure of the government for not doing anything about this.
Deport them all
Yeah they need to go home already 0 there's nothing they can do for they want everything free and the next supposed to pay us back that's not the right way give them they're already given them too much
¡HOLA! As a Colombian, I want to know which state is the best for a newcomer? I come with my family and some friends.
We are currently stuck here in Mexico and trying to reach the border on Tuesday next week.
Some men of our group must find something to do in the USA because they had sentences in Colombia and can't find work, some are sex offenders. We don't have a lot of money, so we also need to know where to get food, shelter, clothes and some cash, so that we don't have to be homeless. We also need some medicine, because two of us have Cholera and one has probably Covid19. Viva Colombia!!
What kind of Border patrol head cuts razor wire to allow unlawful entry into the US? What are we paying for border patrol for? How hard is the "notorious" Darrian gap if women, children and fat people seem to be able to travel through without difficulty?
Let biden and the democrat need to build a bridge so they cần come over safely,
for the people who dont believe its a sabotage, one venezuelan government official was buying mopeds and giving them to venezuelans in new york to cause chaos
That’s what they do very where hey get they don’t want to work you will see
This is the real border security under the creepy Joe administration, most of people are blind because they can't see the reality of this moron president, look at NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia and soon half of the country, this is the BIDENSASTER
Stay away. Looks like the USA moves toward a Civil WAR!
USA doesn't respect Human Rights, with 25% of Earth's jailed people, nor do "Americans," United Statesians, appreciate that USA's 5% of humans consume 25% of Earth's resources while paying $800 BILLION PER YEAR to the military operating 800 offshore bases, except in Latin America that learned to distrust us the US?
Coincidence?
Iran 1953, Guatemala 1954… 1973 Chile … 1980s Nicaragua, Grenada, Panama… Biden's son in Ukrain now war… "15 US-backed (Military) Officers involved in 12 (since 2008) West african coups" an article everyone needs to read.
immigrants unconsciously follow their stolen resources, and are NOT coming from Mexico anymore because of full employment and a reformed "Leftist" government 50% female that just legalized abortion.
Mexicans, and other Latin Americans, no longer "immigrate" but more likely ask for ASYLUM online while they flee drug cartel violence CAUSED BY USA DRUG POLICY.
Then there's Haiti, suffering since USA… how far back do we have to go? 200 years? Recently, we removed her elected president.
No walls, wider bridges, respect Human Rights to free movement.
You will SOON need that right for the coming USA civil war, thanks to all the religious nitwits BELIEVING that Trump is a "gift from god."
MAGA = "Rightwing Conservative Religious Traditionalist Populists want to return to a fictional, idealized past" which in USA looks like White Supremacy with WASPs in charge.
30% of United Statesians, "Americans," own guns.
The Republicans own TWICE as many, and of military grade, guns than progressive liberals who simply want CHANGE to create a better Future, not a return to the Past.
Civil War coming…
The Futures almost always feel shame about Nows.
They have a country with land that needs to be worked and produce, but they don’t want to work it they want to live on free homes food and what ever else they can get
They never says the whole truth – all those Venezuelans are fleeing SOCIALISM implemented in their country by Hugo Chaves and Nicolas Maduro with FULL support of Lula da Silva. Also, those guys could easily have headed to the State of Roraima in Brazil where they are legally welcomed. Going to USA is really a choice made because they have lots of options in South America that are far better then Venezuela and far safer routes than going to USA.
Trump had a plan.
🎉2ndlife🎉
I am afraid that the spyers from China Communist will come to USA by go though Mexico and US boder.
Biden will let them get in any which way, after that they will blend in US and no one know .
ANY ONE THAT LEAVES THEIR OWN COUNTRY LOSES HIS HER FLAG, SO IT'S SAD THAT YOUR OWN COUNTRY DOESN'T OFFER YOU YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS , TOO BAD YOU LOSE YOUR OWN FLAG !!!😢😂
