  1. Some to religious organizations doesn't make sense

  2. Everything free in America 😅

  3. Welcome to the “American Dream” now go home.

  4. I’m anti-democrat. I hate them and don’t care for them. They like to burden others with the problems that they created. This is not a national problem. Many curses to that white liberal man who said that it was.

  5. This country is backwards. Help Americans first! That is what you are suppose to do. Americans first!!!!!!

  6. This is not a federal problem . You volunteered to be a sanctuary state so it’s your problem.

  7. This is what NYC voted for.. This is the result. What is going to happen when Winter arrives and there is double the problem?

  8. Now it’s a problem once they overrun blue cities. Now calling on Biden to fix the problem.

  9. Give them a permit to work ASAP

  10. Where do they think this many people are coming from? Tiny border towns! Imagine that many people in a small town. The mayor invited them to New York. Sanctuary City. Biden keeps letting them flow in.

  11. The country is overrun with these illegal migrants, and Joe Biden is ignoring the crises he caused with his big mouth. Biden is turning the United States into a third world nation. And there is no end in sight. There are hundreds of thousands more headed to our borders, thanks to Joe Biden. Send them to DELAWARE.

  12. Heard they make Gorilla Glue by boiling em

  13. Send them back and there won't be this problem..

  14. LOL…NYC is shouldering the burden of a national issue? NOT EVEN CLOSE! The city officials and NYC voters insured that the border would be opened, by getting Biden in the WH! But, they expected the border states to take the full brunt of problems from the illegals and the democrats would benefit from tens of millions of future democrat voters! NYC gets 500 a day, border states get MILLIONS! That's why Abbott is making NYC take their fair share of illegals…they wanted and voted for this, Texas didn't!

  15. The United States, the NEW third world country! These migrants are running to exactly what they’re running from!

  16. Biden needs to step up instead of hiding

  17. Democrats are awful.

  18. No more COVID 👀👀👀👀

  19. Now you use the church ? Is plenty of synagogues. In NY

  20. PUT THEM IN MOSQUES

  21. Ive never witnessed such uselessness

  22. If you want to come into this Country, come in LEGALLY. Interesting how Liberals can't wrap their Minds around this.

  23. Look what happened in France😂

  24. Churches should be the ones to help the less fortunate. It's why they have tax exempt status. They are supposed to be charitable. Not padding pastors pockets, purchasing private planes or second mansions.

  25. DON'T COME UPSTATE ~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. It's a big problem now. What are they going to do when the migrants double, or triple in size in the future?

  27. It’s bad optics. Instead of black elected leaders helping their constituents they are left holding the bag for the consequences of white liberals and conservatives not enforcing immigration law. The irony is planned.

  28. NYC could have an amazing soccer team.

  29. Now you know what southern states deal with.

  30. My heart hurt so much to see people suffering all over the world 😢

  31. What are those certain people who cried out "All Lives Matter" not long ago saying now? Where are they?

  32. Attention Biden voters: please put your signs back up in your yards so the illegals know where to stop for food and shelter. Thank you.
