  1. ILLEGALS sleep on NYC streets. Seeking asylum from what??? What Venezuelan term oil??? State side news IS LYING TO US!!!!!!

  2. This is EXACTLY why sanctions and wars are a problem abroad and in the States. Sanctions drive people outside of their countries and we must demand Sanctions are removed from Venezuela and Cuba so it doesn’t keep driving their citizens to the States 🤷🏻‍♀️ You guys should do a report about that so that your audience can learn why this is happening.

  3. Give them jobs and let them pay taxes like everyone else. A lot of Americans doesn't want to work anyways.

  4. They can go back to the countries they came from and have there help them set up on the sidewalks there. Bye

  5. Well that's what you get when you do the unthinkable

  6. Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how Good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for freе 931

  7. Bs!!! Usa is not your sanctuary country!!!😡😡😡

  8. This is also a public health issue. Diseases once eradicated in the US will start to crop up again. Migrants should follow the proper processes.

  9. “It all goes down hill from here”….The administration that allowed this will face no judgment or justice. The administration that made move to prevent this is currently being weeded out as a political opponent….its all backwards on purpose and so many refuse to see it.

  10. the Obamas and the Clintons live in huge places. Whycsn't they take in some fo these folks?

  11. First if all, NYC is overcrowded for New Yorkers. Why are people mad at the mayor when he’s clearly telling them the city is full, yet they still come to NY thinking its the one US city that will take them. America is just really full.

  12. Y’all want them y’all got them.

    Now take care of them raise your taxes so you can feed them must be nice.

  13. Need put to work do something and find one of the building with place to no one knows how to help they talk about it

  14. The U S government opened the border for these people so it`s their responsibility to give these people food, housing and a livable amount of cash. It`s a disgrace how they are being treated, I hope they can find a way to sue the criminals that ruined their lives by asking them to come here.

  15. But Ukrainian people come in and get free healthcare and housing. And they don’t even appreciate it. Amerikkk

  16. They don't have space for homeless Americans true reality migrants America can't even help Americans citizens.

  17. Hey Mayor Adams are you proud of your president Biden now???

  18. There is no American dream . Even health care is crap in this country

  19. We need Trump back to deal with this problem.

  20. New York's problem Is absolute minuscule to what's going on in Texas! What NY is dealing with is such a small percentage compared to border states! NY asked for them, Texas gets all don't forget the ones that cross the river and aren't caught! Stop allowing them in this country needs to take care of our Vets and other CITIZENS in need!
    No returns- From Texas!

  21. Now you know Why Trump didn't support this. I m not a big Trump fan but you have to see American Citizens Americans born here, Veterans Women and Children and Elderly should be in front of the Line… Wake up People

  22. America County 🇺🇸 done forever. America County is only County on earth got all illegal immigrants from all over world Countries crossing borders. Only County

  23. What is so sad is the many billions of dollars this will cost NY, they could of cleaned their streets up. Adams is spending billions to make things worse, homelessness, crime while draining NY systems

  24. Asylum, my foot. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for these people? Why haven’t the idiots been able to figure out long ago how the steady stream is not a good idea.

    I remember all these cities piously declaring their cities Sanctuary Cities.

    He said America and NY are not doing their best. I say we have, our best is what we’re seeing now. We are facing impossible situations.

  25. Winters coming. Frozen illegals will be everywhere
