  1. I guess the American people should just head to the border and take care of the problem like some Americans that have been doing it for almost 15 years nows. They just need more armed people probably 30k or so should help keep them out. Where are all the big talking Texans anyways?

  4. By the time elections come the whole of venezuela , centra america and the rest of the world will be already here. And they wont want to leave. There will be an inner war in our country.

  11. Hhhmmm. Let's be realistic. If we stopped being hypocritical and judgemental we would figure out an intelligent solution. There would be enough food if we stop throwing it away and instead started giving it away. Think of the tax write-off. Ah, but no.
    Challenge: write as many replies that are derogatory as possible. Ty

  13. WHAT ABOUT THE MEXICANS THAT CAME HERE YEARS AGO AND DID IT ALL BY HERSELF WITH NO GOVERNMENT HELP DON'T YOU GET SOME SORT OF REIMBURSEMENT THEY PAY TAXES THE WHOLE TIME AND DIDN'T GET NOTHING BACK THEY COULDN'T EVEN CLAIM TAXES BUT THEY WORKED AND PAID TAXES THOUGH RIGHT

  16. And while our southern border is literally being overrun, letting in only God knows who, where is the supposed leader of our Nation,…on vacation,…again.

  17. USA can only take so much. At some point, people in US will stop caring about whatever they are running from, stop feeling sorry for them.

  18. After open borders open spouse, open house, open bank account. If you don’t open your spouse it significant other to anyone who wants them you are a nationalist

  21. Need to find the people going around down there telling them now is the time to go to the land of milk and honey and find out who they are working for

  23. The root cause of this is USA, if there was no sanctions on these countries venezuela, cuba and others, no one would have come. Even many will return if sanctions are lifted.

  24. Venham para o Brasil, aqui o governo vai acolher todos vocês, aqui tem montanhas e praias maravilhosas, monte um negócio pague propina para o governo e tudo estará bem, mas cuidado, não ande com celular, relógios, jóias, senão será assaltado.

  26. The fact that they're so casually recording this on the news as if they're going on a pilgrimage and not trying to enter an country illegally is sickening.

  30. Allowing imigrants in is discriminatory towards those who stayed behind. US and EU must accept the entire populations of Africa and Latin America in order to be all inclusive
