If the U.S. is going to send their military and treasure overseas to fight in any war, it should be this one that would benefit the U.S. directly! US foreign policy for this hemisphere is the root of the immigration problem! Warmongers don’t want this, because the problem will be solved way too soon! And that’s bad for profits.
Why isn’t Mexico, or any number of South American countries absorbing and helping those fleeing? Do people in the US not understand our borders are NOT open, and the US can’t stop the flow of people leaving ANY country?
It’s infuriating that Mexico allows these refugees march through their country and do NOTHING. They pile up at the US border.
This needs to be addressed by the UN in my opinion.
And they have to come here? I guess there’s no peaceful counties in between here and their own country. Just another excuses to come here.
Media will play any story to justify open boarders that we tax prayers pay for wont they
But the police and military in these countries are worst than gangs
You mean there president?
Say prayer: Jesus is Lord and I believe in my heart that God raised him from the death on third days, Forgive me Jesus with your shredded blood on the cross and save me in Jesus name amen.
Why blame the Coca leaves!
No one is talking about the Venezuelans in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and chile that are RUINING the economy, that are the ones who run the mafias, extortion, kidnappings, and ALL kind of crimes and mafias that can't be thought about.
Wait and see what will happen in this country, the Venezuelans are Not good people, they like "easy" money and will wack you for a phone or pair of sneakers like is happening in Ecuador and Peru.
Stop the use/users of cocaine… duh. BUT why would we want to do that?? Silly idea.
No freedom of speech yt removes comments like communist
Its like NBC dont know a genocide isngoing on or theyre covering it up. Gotra love american hypocrisy. One of their founding principles.
People dont know the president is running his own cartel? Its a crackdown on power and turf, not about law and order.
TAMLA TANETTE MOORE IS THE MOST HIGH AND UNSTOPPABLE TOO…ASE AHO
The narrator does accurate accent for Peru and Ecuador but says Colombia like columbia lol
So will I still be able to get my coffee or no?? I use the one with the man and the donkey.
Yeah if only Amerikkka would stop it’s sanctions on South American countries and let them live how they want and stop overthrowing governments
This wouldn’t be a problem
Team America world police
Surprising that Democrats are in Ecuador.
So we should accept them by default? I don't think that is a good option anymore.
We need to get our system fixed first.
They need some tips from Nayib Bukele // El Salvador 🇸🇻
How many people are killed or missing in the United States?
Who really stared the dry trade
They need to do what El Salvador did — create Supermax prisons.
All this thanks to Ex-President Correa for expelling US Military Base from Ecuador… my country was safer and peaceful. This breaks my heart 😢
Ecuadorians are more than welcomed into my country. 🎉 very honorable and hard working people. 😊
Ecuador government are just wasting their time n money..Go home n let the druglords run the country. Putting on a show for other countries to see is nothing but an act.😅😂😂
Aww man now Amy Schumer is going to have to pay way more for her blow.

You missed reporting when Polands public TV was taken over 🍀
According to the media, Ukraine and Israeli war affects the United States. We do not know how but we only that our taxes are paying for these wars. The CIA created the narco cartels and Americans drive the demand.
