Border crisis impacts rippling through the country: Decades old immigration laws in U.S.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2024
- Mass migration has millions of people looking for safe harbor and opportunity inside the United States.
But, decades-old immigration laws, a porous southern border, and increasingly daring cartels have caused humanitarian and illicit drug crises to grow.
The problems that the borderlands have known for years are now rippling through the United States, with cities forced to make difficult decisions as they look to the federal government for help.

It's only going to get worse unless we vote for something different
@BrokenCrushedby this is a tea party compared to what's ahead. The summer of 2020 will be nothing compared to what's already begun....riots, fires, continued destruction of fertilizer plants, food processing plants, munitions production factories, trains that transport toxic chemicals 'jumping tracks', etc etc. Think about it. The list goes on and on. Educate yourself.
Too late, politics is all on the same page, what's wrong with America, we relied on the gov, look where it's got us,
BS...Trump hate for years and didn't fix any system...no wall and no legal immigration reform....we should do what we did to my grandfathers era.....let them in at Ellis Island and let the free market sort it out...
We have to start somewhere as Americans, Biden isn't going to do it, I'm voting for Trump!!!!
If you had a proper education you would know that the congress makes the laws, the president just signs them. The republicans didn't sign the new immigration bill that republicans helped write. Your fuhrer told them not to sign it so put blame where it belongs.
Biden and the democrats created the border crisis on purpose..they have destroyed america!
How are they so desperate yet they pay thousands of dollars to get here
Exactly!! They're NOTHING like the original immigrants back in the 1700's and 1800's coming to Ellis Island in America! Nope! They're bringing horrific crimes, child trafficking, drugs etc.. along with leaching off America, taking our jobs and sending the money back to their countries and not giving back to America! Thousands of them don't want to pay taxes! It's a horrific nightmare! Blame the O'Biden administration and O'Biden himself "Nursing Home Joe"!! They're making America a third world country just like where they came from! 😡
What I'd like to know is where did they get thousands to come here to give to the coyotes and drug cartels since it's supposed to be such poor countries where they come from? 😡😠
Gangs Loan the money at a Great Rate 50% per month.
Well said.
@@jimshoe402 It's hard to believe that low life gangs from third world countries have LOADS of cash like the cartels to just hand out all of a sudden to hundreds and/or thousands wanting to go to America! That's a BOAT load of $$$$!! Like mucho much dinero!!! I get they can get cash and even rob businesses, homes etc... but to have millions of dollars on hand is kind of hard to believe unless it's drug money??? Who knows!? It's all messed up to say the least. Everyone uses someone for something in this world now don't they? Beyond sad and sick!
As an old man I have seen and have known migrant families from Mexico and Russia from as early as the 60's when I was in grade school. In my observations over 50+ years I can say there is a big change in the attitude and spirit of the migrants today compared to the 60's, 70's, 80's....Back then I distinctly remember a couple families with kids my age, they were poor but extremely grateful to be here legally, so proud to be an American. All they did was work as much as possible, get the kids in USA school system. They did not want handouts, they just wanted work, schools for their kids and a local Church;-). They were grateful, lawful, hard working people who strived to learn English, to make a life and more importantly to CONTRIBUTE to USA society. Also all I knew had sponsors. Migrants I knew of when I was growing up were a completely different sort of person than many of the migrants here today, Surely there are still good hearted, lawful, honest people who want to assimilate, that want to contribute but I think most are people that are not contributing, not at all, like a huge anchor.
They are illegal, and they are not lawful. Every one of these border jumpers are criminals
Are ur grandparents imagrants? U have answer.
The thing that's wrong with the current migrants, is they are using a migrant loophole, the "asylum" loophole, to get into the states...by breaking a broken immigrants law system. They have no will to assimilate or contribute, instead wants to get a job, then go back to their home state and send back the money to their relatives in whatever country they came from. Kinda wrong in my opinion.
@@CynthiePompey9999 My grandparents were. Early 1900's. They learned the language, my grandfather worked for Standard Oil his whole life. My grandmother stayed at home with 9 children.
It's fine to come here...
It's not fine to come here illegally, not assimilate, except handouts, etc.
Beautifully put!
What I don't think migrants sleeping in the police stations is a good idea probably a national security risk
FJB and his failed administration!!!!
America has been destroyed, i regret ever serving our country, biggest mistake of my life,,
Other countries are emptying out their prisons and mental institutes to our borders. Most are coming through New Mexico & CA through our NGO's working with the cartel.
That is so sad that NGO's are undermining the USA
Fleeing 1 problem and causing another!
We are on the fast track to whatever these foreign nationals are fleeing. Except the many who are fleeing consequences for their misdeeds.
Exactly my husband has said “those illegals coming here are the bad people of their country”. The ones who come the right way (applying for citizenship, work permit, etc) are usually the “good ones” from their country
Only to get the same as they left
Whats going to happen when President Trump starts the Mass deportation ? 🇺🇸 FJB WOLVERINES 🇺🇸
Exactly. It's an invasion!!!
He has no choice its gonna be a bumpy ride
He ain't gonna do nothing. All presidents are puppets for big money
What about our own security assistance
Wow but we got vets on the streets
And they wil have to stay there at this rare! WE are effing broke! Because of fjb!!
Yes, and citizens
The man tried to ignore it and here we are
I want a free flight across the US
This is caused by the corrupt government of latin America 😂
Yeah, not funny at all. What's up with the inappropriate laughing emojis??
@KristineMarieTxSPI Yes it is, if you think the left or right can fix this then it's a joke. It's like NYC mayor said that he's never had a problem he couldn't fix. Duh you can't fix this one because it's a problem with latin America being so corrupt it makes people flee their countries.
@alexxx7066 No, it's caused by the corrupt U.S. Govt. Educate yourself. This is an internal operation.
And ours
you mean a corrupt u.s.a government.
As much as those states don't like it now they know how we feel it's time to do something about this instead of talking about it awareness is already there We need change
I can't watch this.
Me either
Sickening and sad for us citizens 😢
Send the military down there and shut it down its just that easy someone wants this
Biden too concerned with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, N Korea anywhere but Southern US border
Jb administration sued Texas for trying to secure the border! And No he does not need congress. He vetoed title 42 day 1 in office. These are the results. Non profits NGO are passing around papers for them to vote for biden.
The left did this for votes ! 🙄
And to end the middle class !
They want us all in line , begging for beans and biscuits💯
The Democratic Party has been trying to make it rich or poor … which are you ? If your rich , you can add input….. but if you’re poor… go get in line😂
"They" don't want to. The Democrats want those people to vote for them this November... It didn't pass last week.
My concern is the vetting process can easily be passed by.
Just one r8pist is one too many. People are saying 20 million have come in just 4 years.
This is insane. Coming to a country and not speaking the language of the country you are entering.
No job skills.
This will not end good for anyone.
Close the border
To late now. It's gotten out of hand.😢
build the wall.
And electrify it! Fjb
They should increase the recruitment of border patrol to safe guard our border to stop illegal migrants, drugs entering our country.
They would if the republicans had voted for the new immigration bill. It would have funded that and judges to get their hearing done sooner to deport them. But Trump told them not to so...Biden had to go a different route and pay these south American countries to stop these people into their countries.
the mexican cartels have never ever been this strong thank you president every person crossed has paid 4k
that about 2milion ppl the cartels are making this its time us goes into mexico
Legally. Not sneaking in like rats.
FJB IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE CRIMES AND CRIMINALS! HE HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS, ALONG WITH ALL INVOLVED IN HIS ADMIN AND INSTALLATION.
Listen if you are a migrant coming to America make sure you already have people/family already living in America.Dont just come here not knowing anyone and not knowing where you are going to lay your head
He'll get Chineese out of here!!!!
Time to take out the garbage Mr. Trump our real president
As long there’s is bad economy, crime and corruption,poverty lack of employment, people all over the world will leave for better future.
People of UK, USA, FRANCE & GMAENRY get together and fight seen as we are all fighting the same fight
It’s almost like denying a border crisis for 3 1/2 years has consequences. Good thing nothing else was denied! Biden was as sharp as he’s ever been during the debates!
The illegal immigration problem has been swept under the carpet for over 20 years, not just for the 3 1/2 years you mention. It's a burden to residents who have their taxes increase exponentially to support and give services to illegal immigrants.
Biden is not the one running the country, his handlers are, like it or not!
I hope you are joking!!!!!🤬🤬🤬
Where does an African get $20K? I mean really?
It did not happen while trump was there.
That's for sure! TRUMP2024
How many cameras did biden take down
Let's go Brandon!
Got vets on the streets and this shit is being allowed. I hope young men out there are seeing this. Don't sign up, resist any draft, you're seeing how you'll be treated after they're done using you up.
These people will need a handout! Now we are only able to give so much. The gov. Is broke and the dollar is at it's end. Ukraine is a money pit. We are all stop on manufacturing and all stop is going to happen. Get on your knees and beg us educated in machining ti go back to work and create. Otherwise the USA as we have known it will be completely stagnant.
Yeah but not 10 million a month. Thats just ridicoulous.
And he will seal the boarder
War on the cartels and get all that money back
I would like to know what immigration Kamala Harris talks about, 'cuz she said she was hoping to check how to solve the problem with illegal migration in the southern border but I know by own experience that crossing illegally the Mexico-US border is a big lie, because I tried to cross the Rio bravo river, the desert and jump the border wall.
I finally got to California crossing the San Ysidro Port of entry hidden in a car just to realize that if you enter undocumented to the US, you won't be able to get a job.
By the way cellphones and social media are intercepted at the mexico-US border, I know cuz when I created a new account on a social media app people from the block I live in Guatemala (my country of origin) just came up in the people you may know section.
The real illegal migration is people who have gotten American visas under the table and the attorneys who gave out those visas did not check these people's background, and they even have a game with these visas gotten under the table, as matter of the fact some people from my neighborhood (Sakerti 2, not sure about other neighborhoods around this area) got American visas when they made me leave Guatemala.
This is something Kamala Harris doesn't talk about and only complains about irregular migration at the mexico-US border.
They made me leave Guatemala undocumented to see what really happens at the Mexico-US border because there are other people who want to leave Guatemala apparently as immigrants.
There was a coyote in my neighborhood and he used to take people to the Mexico-US border and helped them to cross illegally the Mexico-US border, mostly he knew people who got them American visas and work permits under the table, I say this because the only way one can stay in the US is with American visa or work permit, I couldn't get a job because of arriving undocumented and got back to Guatemala.
Why Kamala Harris doesn't talk about this?

They made me leave Guatemala by fracturing my mandible and walking past by my house saying that I was going out at night to steal but the par about stealing wasn't true at all.
They said there were extortions but there's no exit at the end of the boulevard and they have been messing with me doing strange signs and pretending that they could run me over, so that Id leave again but I won't.
They do that because they don't want to lose the right they think thy have to cross illegally the border even if it meant to fracture my mandible and keeping me hoping from one job to another.
Most of this people have big houses, car, motorcycle, finished their education and have work experience.
PNCdeGuatemala
Let's hope for the best and they colse definitely the Mexico-US border from the Mexican side so that this situation doesn't happen to any other migrant relative and they also stop this lie about crossing illegally the border.
Note : the young girl from Nigeria Africa, said she and her mother are here in America, because her mother's boyfriend stole her money and beats her up... So is America going to take in People that have domestic abuse issues in their families !!!. 🎉Vote Trump 2O24 , America is full . These people need to make their Nations better at home.
TRUMP 2024
HR2 !!!
They have problems in their countries?? Well we have problems in this country and coming here illegally is only making the problems 1000% worse for us.
They are importing their problems with them and we don’t need it.
For decades, the US has been providing financial aid to countries all over the world. It is time for the US to stop this practice and re-direct those funds to US hospitals, law enforcement and border control to cover the costs of the illegal migrant flood. When the US provides medical care to illegal migrants, the US needs to bill the country from which that migrant came. Any products from that country which enter the US should have an additional import tax applied and the funds from that tax used to cover the costs of the migrants from that country.
This is what happens when you don't learn from others' mistakes. The US watched Europe struggle with the same issues -only those migrants were fleeing violence, unrest and lack of work from the Middle East. We watched but didn't learn from their mistakes.
80% of those trying to cross the border are coming from a half dozen countries: Haiti, Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, Columbia and Nicaragua. If the US would just work with their neighbors in the OAS, we'd be able to stabilize these governments and economies. That would lessen the need to migrate north.
I also blame the NRA and the firearms industry for this crisis. The US is the largest seller and manufacturer of firearms. Where do you think these cartels are acquiring their weapons? US manufacturers.
You don't have enough brain cells to even count to how many you have
A lot of weapons in the us aren’t manufactured here. There is a bunch of brands that import their weapons, or import most of the parts for the weapon and manufacture the bare minimum here they need to be legal
This was a plan by the powers. Follow dee money...
Jb vetoed Trumps title 42 on day 1 in office!!
Looking for a better life is Not a valid asylum case. It's not sustainable. Those countries do not want their people back! Yes many do come from prisons etc... just like Castro sent many of them in the 80's
These are Not the ones who built this country.
the u.s government gave them the guns. people are going to need their guns to defend themselves. don't you know what is going on?
My family arrived in the American Colonies in the 1,600s as Colonists! We weren’t immigrants!
That's how they know what ads to put on your phone.
Thank you
That Emma Lazarus nonsense isn’t law or constitution, it’s just simpering silliness!
Vote REPUBLICAN!.!.
24:32 she doesn’t understand that it’s literally impossible. It’s a great goal, of course, but it’s impossible. We can not help everyone while Americans that are born here are struggling. The path to hell is paved with good intentions.
Biden’s the head of the Cartels
I wish Eric Adams would stop the blame game and blame who is really responsible his own party and Joe Biden
1/2 OF THE WHOLE WORLD WANTS ❤TO COME TO USA(PARADISE$$$$)
NOT WANT TO SEE THE POVERTY, GOOGLE HOMELESSNESS IN USA...😂😂😂😂😂
I hear a bunch of hearsay from these people
No kidding!!!!!
Send a couple 100,000 to Martha Vineyard and Behovit Delaware anywhere top Dem's have homes that will get a bi-partison border bill fast.

Votes! Anyone that legally enters our country for citizenship must speak English! Prop 187. We are USA! Our languish is English!
Wow
Tucson az
How about telling Weapons manufacturers not to sell weapons to these criminals? Oh they can't? Why? It's against the law to tell firearms sellers who they can sell to.
How about closing the border.
They have ways around it. They are cartels they pay people more than the guns worth to supply them.
If destitute migrants are kidnapped by cartels on their way to the US, who pays this ransom?
who gives a shit.
We are paying for their damn asses! Thru our tax money. Wtf?
Destitute people have to stay the eff home, they don't travel on some vacay. Go home!
Half of my country already in usa( kyrgyzstan). They all came through Mexico border.
Take them back home to you!!

It's a hit-and-run here in America
@@edwardhartzell8815 What does that mean?
I'm sure the CCP appreciates your efforts here comrade...
@@neutroisking101 It means he hates the USA. Sharing the poverty is no solution. Just think how much the source nations could be helped with all of the money and resources were directed to solutions. It is clear that this is not a humanitarian effort, but rather an offensive move against the nation.
just to say we need 8 million immagrants to fill jobs is not the only thing, make them sign agreements to stay at those jobs long term. otherwise, they will find a way to say okay im done now give me free govt handouts, cause im a citizen now. heaven forbid.
They're already getting them.
@@lotusblossom44They work for chicken feed.
@deannasale145 low wages combined with generously funded by U.S./citizen subsidies: free housing, free food stamps, free medical, free. legal help, free education, "low income" loans, the list goes on and on
@desertdogo Yeap! I wish we Native( Indians) Indigenous ppl could get some of those free benefits. Life is depressing on the Reservation.
@deannasalem145 my family still lives on Shinnecock. Our people should always be first but they want to limit everything we try to do to help ourselves. Depressing is not the word.
Your numbers are way off
It's worse than what they're saying.
