  1. Asylum is a four people who are truly scared of their country. Because they're being politically persecuted or they are being targeted in the government's doing nothing about it. Just because there's no jobs and you want a better life doesn't give you the right to seek asylum. They're letting these people in and there's only 330milliom US citizens. There's already almost 7 million people in our country illegally over the past three years that's 2% to our population. When is enough going to be enough for these democrats? Is it going to be enough when 10 of our population is illegal? Come on the Republicans and Democrats are both at home for this! They could have gotten more funding but they decided to let McCarthy make a deal. in my opinion I think it's going to be another 18 months or less before the country goes into a full civil war that's just my opinion. I don't think the Republicans and Democrats are going to do anything about this they're not going to do anything about the division they're just going to still get even more and it's going to be a civil war and that's what they want cuz then if there's a civil war they can enact whatever it was they want lock people and they can have their new world order. That's what they want somebody in the Biden administration very early in the presidency said that they were going to have a new world order. They tell you what they're going to do and they're enacting it as we speak.

  2. Bring them all in to the United States. Bring the world in too

  3. Let them in.

    The USA needs more workers.

  4. Let them in.

    If Americans can afford 2 wars, they can afford more immigrants.

  5. YOU MEAN, (ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS), ENCAMPMENTS, THEY ARE NOT MIGRANTS, BUT ILLEGALS, INVITED IN BY (TRAITOR JOE), SEND THEM TO DELAWARE, (ASAP)😮.

  6. You're channel doesn't even get thumbs up lol i had a friend vote Biden saying " i hope every Republican State burns down" WELL…

  7. Biden Americans want this border closed bring military down there and close it and then you need to go to jail for letting border stay open and for corrupt foreign business dealing

  8. This is what the Democratic party wants. We can not afford to pay for their actions. Illegal immigrants are given housing EBT card health care benefits before they give help to the American people.

  9. Soon the US is going to be a third world country based on this invasion. Where is the money going to come from to pay for their healthcare and their children’s schooling? Taxpayers are going to be burdened with it while our services go down because of these leeches.

  10. We need a President that'll build the wall

  11. Thank you Joe Biden what a jerk !

  12. That’s a lie, Biden has done. Nothing

  13. Close the damn border. We need a deporter and chief. The audacity of it all.

  14. America can't do anything right.

  15. Meanwhile, Americans are living in the street

  16. We have real Americans living in the streets in America

  17. WHY SHOULD AMERICANS TAXES PAY FOR ALL THESE ILLEGAL ALIENS……WE SHOULD NOT!!!!! THIS IS BIDENS FAULT… HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!

  18. BIDEN HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THE BORDER…. THIS IS #FAKENEWS.

  19. DEMOCRATS ARE DOING THIS FOR 2024 VOTES….AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE!!!!! LETS SEE HOW THEY TRY AND CHEAT AGAIN!!!!!

  20. CLOSE ALL BORDERS IMMEDIATELY AND KEEP THEM CLOSED TILL TRUMP IS IN OFFICE!!!!!

  21. Keep the floodgates open keep bringing them in until America is destroyed.

  22. Why is the u.s. government allowing this??

  23. Some waiting "DAYS"…..
    Just imagine, people doing the right way wait "YEARS"!!!!…

  24. Go back home and take your kids. we have to worry about American kids and Americans first

  25. Why do they all want to get into America? Things might be bad where they are but is America any better if you are starting out with nothing or are these migrants being fed tall tales and true? I would not make such a journey with children. I couldn’t think of anything worse. What is the story? Do they think everything is for free in America and they grow money and spaghetti trees?

  26. U voted for biden so quick complaining your getting what u deserve

  27. The American people are struggling. Food is out of control, NYC is allowing illegal children into schools but the american kids, whose parents pay school taxes.

  28. In a question of time, they will take over your house, this is not a problem until hits you.

  29. It’s a BS cancel all asylum and send them back. It’s all lies.

  30. It's up to 5,000 daily. This is insane.

  31. This is not what my taxes are being paid for mr biden.🤮

  32. The more I hear about "Young children." The more it makes me feel they are used as shields to exploit.

  33. Let them all in America so we can fall as a country We are going g to fail anyway best be now as later..

  34. Why is the government allowing this 😡😡😡 we need Trump to make Americans great against ✌️

  35. Leave them there so they go home

  36. Stop feeding them, stop giving them things. If I walked across the world with nothing, no plan, no money or anything else, people would rightfully call me an idiot. This is destroying the USA.

  37. Freeloading pikers. What plans do they have for you?

  38. Daniel 2:42-43
    42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
    43 And where thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they (Adam) shall mingle themselves with the seed of men (Enosh): but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

  39. Unnecessary problems and financial burden that the US is creating on its own. US does not need any help from its haters, it is destroying itself.
