The border buses: New York City’s migrant crisis | States of America
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лис 2022
- Over 20,000 migrants have arrived in New York City by bus in the past six months, and the city is at a tipping point. While the narrative in the media focuses on the Republican governors, it turns out that the Democratic mayor of El Paso has sent more buses to New York than Governor Abbott. In partnership with the El Paso Times, reporter Lauren Villagran follows a young Venezuelan family as they travel by bus to New York City.

#Immigration #Border #Migrants
Yes give them everything while the streets are filled with homeless American veterans and citizens, this is a disgrace.
Correct
I agree
Exactly all freeloaders!
Yes disgusting ,same in the UK,Germany ,Netherlands,not Poland they are not welcome there
US citizens last, that's what the US voters wanted.
How dare they demand "better shelters ?" We are spending thousands on those emergency facilities to accommodate them!! 🤬🤬
BILLIONS.
The lady that’s doing the story that’s so concerned about these people take some home with you you support them
Don't worry, plenty will be there for you to take home 😅
She won't do that she n others like her would rather lie about the situation why didn't those migrants listen to KAMARLA HARRUS "DON'T COME DON'T COME "😂😂😂😂
I see this over and over again. The issue is not immigration the issue is illegal immigration. Yes, people have come to this country to seek opportunities but they must do it the right way.
they should stop having children so much if you can not provide for them, they always say, their Country is in financial ruins, well don't come here and farther ruin OURS.
The real issue is our government and who's running it! Let's talk about how you and I are paying taxes to support these people and feed and clothe them while they complain that they are given 1st class treatment. Our country is going straight to hell
Blame it on the process. Too slow and complicated to handle the sheer numbers. So, these desperate people just choose this method.
Well that's what these venezuelan people did. They went through the process.
@@scrambler69-xk3kvStill is illegal and is a crime and should be treated as such.
Shouldn't the Federal government be held accountable for not protecting our borders from foreign invasion?
Hi
If federal government remove the sanctions upon Venezuela probably they will leave or stop coming.
Imagine?
yes and failure of that is an impeachable offense of any president that violates that first oath....Biden.
Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas goal is to populate the USA with much of Latin America.
It's nice that the United States is helping people in other countries
what I want to know is when are we going to fix the homeless crisis in the United States.
🌹, I'm really much impressed about your profile🌹 and personalities🌹. I also admire your good sense of humor🌹 on here. I don't normally write in the comment section🌹, but I think you deserve this compliment ....I'll like to be your friend if you don't mind send me friend request so we can talk more.🌹 okay.. Thanks
Hi am african .do they all get jops there or there is unemployment for cheap labour like in construction or cleaning?
I feel sorry for these people but it's not the US job to help them. We can help some but not to the tune of millions. It's ridiculous. The most effective way for the US to help Venezuelans is by lifting the trade sanction not by giving them free accommodation here. And dictate other countries like the EU, the UK, Canada to lift that sanction as well. There is no economic recovery until the sanction is lifted
There's no money to be made helping the homeless, so the issue will carry on.
@@johnmunyoro4428 they don't work. All free. Free housing Healthcare schooling transportation. Everything free.
They sleep in forest's to get here ,and they don't like shelters,those people who's creating problems should be sent back immediately, we don't have shelters for our own people.
They shed tears when they get here. We shed tears after they are allowed to stay here indefinitely.
The correct way is wait seven years to process paperwork then if you turned 18 you fall into another category of wait times. There is a wait time list for each country on the internet. If a parent did the paperwork and six years passes and parent dies start over. There dosn't to be much thought going into making these laws some going back to the 1800's
if I (a born American citizen) cant even afford rent in NYC, what makes them think they could???
They are getting 5 star hotel rooms on 5th Avenue😆
@@sbkpilot1 not for long! when they become citizens and all, they going to realize the reality.
They steal everything they can so they can save money.
Right? Welcome to the suck!
They get minimum wage jobs but for example they will live like in a 3 bedroom house and each room has a family renting in it, kids and all. So their rent will be cheaper. We even rent out the living room sometimes and garages too. I grew up poor and Hispanic and growing up knew many others as well living like this. There’s lack of privacy but that’s how we survive.
AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD THIS! WE FOUGHT TWICE FOR OUR COUNTRY! WHY CANT THEY FIGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY?
It’s easier to let US pay for what they want…this administration is a joke.
Right on target. Are these people afraid of federal troops if they even attempt to fight for their nation?
U didnt fight a thing u sitting on youtube typing bs your ancestors did but they were also migrants in this continent
Hello
@a man with common sense! it's already started!
WOW I JUST SAW THIS TODAY THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE WHY THE HELL DO WE HAVE OPEN BORDERS IN THE US WHO THE HELL AUTHORIZED THIS ???.
Biden did it.
Biden
DEMOCRATS, BIDEN, OBSMA, CLINTON.
and these migrants are lazy and cruel. cruel because the situation in Venezuela is NOT new, yet they keep having kid after kid,when they have NOTHING AND of course, they will never have $ to offer their kids a life with dignity,no studies means they will have to lead a life of crime to survive.@@angelicapascual5545

I am Polish-American who came here to study. After many years and a lot of money I spent I got my citizens. It was such a dramatic journey for me.
Welcome, friend!
Congratulations. I hope your hard work and journey has paid off.
God bless you and I'm glad you made it. We're all human and we should have the right to go anywhere on this planet because we are from this planet, it's our planet
You did it the right way! Just like my Great Grandfather. 🇺🇸
@@oldsoul4762yes because the process is 150% easier for a white foreigner to become a citizen rather than a Hispanic person obtaining legal status. That’s the one thing you people don’t understand! It’s a fact.
I have two grandparents for example my moms dad (France) & dads (Mexico) you know who’s citizenship worksheet went through faster even though in paper they are the same person besides their birth place? My mom’s dad! My other grandpa died waiting…. Let that sink in. The system is bullshit.
These people think they had it bad in their countries.
They are in for a rude awakening...
Everything they ran away from in their country is already here in the USA...
.....except for all the free handouts the illegals get here....paid for BY OUR taxes.
But their kids will get free schooling, free lunch. They will get EBT, ssi (for their kids) and probably priority housing. The real controllers of this country want all of the plebes fighting each other so they can steal all of the wealth. They have most of it already. Covid was the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world.
Hello
They can get the bilingual call center jobs though..
@@narlywaves2371 most arent looking for work, they are here for bad inente .
I can’t believe how powerless the USA are to enforce their own laws. With all due respect to the immigrants and their hardships, this is not the right way. There is a lot of social tension building up right there, as you have a lot of American citizens who are truly struggling to make ends meet while immigrants get everything for free.
Sounds a lot like how Europeans invaded America illegally 🤔
@@BWynn-eb8qn shut up that was how many years ago . We don’t want these ppl most are lying. about their hardships and are only look for a free ride😊
@@BWynn-eb8qn They asked for nothing! They made education a priority and they loved and respected America. No comparison!
@@mrsblue3011 definitely a comparison, only Europeans came with illness and violence. Now the same descendants of European colonizers feel like "Their country" is being invaded.
been happening for years & not about to stop unless we get Trump back !
no way they are complaining about the nyc hotel room not having a kitchen and only being 200 sq ft .... that's more than most rented rooms
In downtown NYC the small children (under 5 years old) run all over the place while their mothers stand in a circle talking. NO EFFORT at all is made to control their kids, to watch or instruct them on how to behave. This, in an area where education & socialization are of prime importance. We are going to have a LOT of problems as these children become adults. By the way, the Rio Grand is NOT cold.
Same is happening on 42nd Street right across the Bryant Part and inside the target on 42nd Street.
It’s a slap to the face and very messed up for all those who paid and follow rules to be come a naturalized citizen. These people are even complaining about the sanctuary/hospitality that’s provided they are complaining about the help that it’s not sufficient and not comfortable. And they will be given legal status so they can work, I think not so they can live of benefits and be a drain to this nation.
Thats true. I spent thousands of dollars on my immigration process till the last step of becoming a citizen. Venezuelans in Brazil are known to be on the streets begging while the Haitian people are hard workers and always finding something to work with. How true is that I’m not sure, never lived near the border with them where they come in thousands.
Incredible what this Administration has done
Millions of single Venezuelan men didn't sell their houses to come here. 🙃🤥🤡
They'll be selling some white chicks
It's always the low income ones that makes the trek to come here that way, the ones with a little money or owned houses do it the legal way..
Probably renting them out ,and getting a home in USA ,it's a win win for them
@@romystumpy1197
I believe they're too young to own a home. 70% of illegals that have poured in are single, 17-25 y/o, fighting age men. 😒 They'll turn on us in a sec if their new smartphone sends the order. 😈
That'll teach you Yanks to mess about in other countries lol
4:20 “I came here because economical situation in my country is difficult” says the guy in louis vuitton t-shirt and ray-ban glasses 🌚
100% that were fake
But it shows how materialism he is. That can be led to greedy behavior@@agustinarcusa7696
Knock off product
It’s so sad that they think life will be any easier. It’s so sad that they think life will be any easier.
What about the American Veterans, homeless and people about to be evicted here?
is your house already full with homeless vets!?
If people can simply walk in and you offer them free hotel rooms in Manhattan then of course thousands more will come... just common sense, heck even US Citizens don't have it so good
As a Swiss citizen I wrote just the same words above, some minutes ago.
It‘s the greatest danger and idiocy for America and Europe, to open the border for 1000000 ‚s illegal immigrants.
I’m a third generation Mexican-American and I can’t even afford a decent place to live with my husband working two jobs and me working one it’s a daily struggle
Yes!! And I live in an old RV!! Agree 100%
All the homeless people cant get no free rooms n food n are Americans but foreigners can get freefreefree or taxpayers paying for non americans
you show me that you walk thousand of miles. ill spot you for a month.
The fact that NYC has the audacity to complain when they are a sanctuary city and they get less than 1% of the total immigrants coming in is outrageous.
First 5 minutes, guy says they are coming they've been told this country needs them 😂unbelievable.
That's so crappy. We have so many homeless Americans that need care. Let's start with our own most needy.
@fuckthesystem7030 Protest like how the Poland did

@@truther001 😮
If you are a Sanctuary State for illegal migrants, you have no right to complain when you're getting busloads of the people you want to provide sanctuary for. Imagine what it's like in border states who have to deal with illegal migrants by the millions.
That's just typical lefty's. They love to keep as many problems alive as possible but will quickly change their mind when the problem comes to their front door.
Yup 💯
Texas is not responsible for illegally crossing .Start send them back close to the border. Wall could not cross. They know they will pay somebody to the border but from the border, they will get free school, shelter, and welfare.
And who decides if it's a sanctuary state? Certainly not the American taxpayers who are stuck with the bill. Do some digging and understand who and what controls this country.
Hello
Who are they selling everything to if that nation is in such difficult times? Sounds like BS to me 🤷♀️
Image feeling so entitled that you say that you're being discriminated against, because the country that you have entered illegally doesn't speak your language!!
I have relatives who have fled Venezuela. They applied to different countries knowing fully well the country was going to shit. Naturalizing people just because they jumped the border opens up a can of worms in letting in the wrong people. I'd love to know the context behind getting into a fist fight with the security guards. The documentary is supposed to draw sympathy, which it does, but there are Americans who are living in way worse conditions and treated worse.
You and your relatives need to go too...
America may have responsibility in Venezuela going to shit by its forcible hegemony and proxy war funding. The USA should never have enforced embargo's on any socialist country. That is just my uneducated idea more or less. Am I right? American propaganda and open society funding also contributes to our dilemma. Am I right? I don't live there you tell me.
@@TheSunship777Venezuela was one of the wealthiest, prosperous nation in South America. Until they started voting for Socialism in 2010 and the Country ran out of money. THEIR fault.
@@TheSunship777Venezuela's issues were created because of their own. They voted for Chavez. Now they have to deal with their own decisions. He died, now Maduro, his driver, a man with no education, is worse. The embargo means nothing. The country is rich in resources that they can use to progress, but he doesn't know how to govern right. They don't need the US, they need to go back, and fight for their country. I remember speaking with a Venezuelan years ago online. He criticized the US, loved Chavez, and thought Venezuela was the best, and that the US was evil, because it was capitalist. Now, I wonder if he is one of these migrants...now capitalism doesn't sound so bad.🤔
Maybe you need to think about more than america, racist!
Someone needs to educate them about life here. They cannot leave their kids home alone to get a job. Daycare will be $1000 a month per kid. Food and rent prices are sky high. Life is not easy here and there is also a lot of violence.
They think getting a minimum wage job they can live, most have 2 kids or more to feed
@@donnagrantham1613 minimum wage wont even pay rent. even double or triple minimum wage and they will still struggle
Agree i think that the issue no one is sending out the memo usa is not the country for great success any longer theres just too many foreigners too many dam kids too many un educated ppl in america this country is going to turn 3rd world with all these 3rd world ppl coming here with there 3rd world thinking crying thinkin something is owed to them most will be in welfare for generations and i do not want to hear that all are hard working die hard do anything for a job type of individuals. Stop it. Its all a front..
@@1186wolf I know america is gone, I I'm happy I got to live here through my life in America true America I'm very sad that our country is being taken over and we're letting them
@@1186wolf maybe the US should invade them and establish their own government. Create sources of work so people can remain in their own countries. They would have to change their mindset. Learn the American know how. Of course the US would have to sweep the bad element.
Why should Texas and other border states be the only states to be flooded with these people. Hell yeah, send the to D.C., NYC, L.A. and let them help out.
How can you expect free hotels ?No country gives that .
This is the reason why many people who wants to tour legally and see the beauty of US got denied, because of these people who enters illegally to US, shame on these people
Texas resident here for 52 years. It's interesting to see how non border "sanctuary" cities are responding to what we've been dealing with for decades.
Yes! Keep busing them to non border states.
Arizona, we are flooded and have been for generations well to the club
Carolinian here, I never felt bad for Texas's issues due to how Texas was taken. But I feel you. Vensulans are not Mexicans. They are not part of the conflict.
This is why I vote democratic!!! Look at all them people that come over here and become homeless we should have a federal law that states if you have an extra bedroom you must house homeless immigrants
@@oliviawilliams531 are you truly serious? I'm confused. It sounds like you're a democrat and don't like seeing illegals end up on the streets, like almost anyone in the US can be as well, so the president should enact a law that would require a person that owns a house or apt etc. to let illegals live in a room in their house and have meals and shower's and privacy probably clothing and shoes and etc etc. Did I read this correctly? I guess that means that I should be renting 2 of my bedrooms, oops, no no Melody, no rent being paid but having to basically be their parents because they don't have money. I'm 38, disabled due to a machine that literally chewed half of my left arm and hand 7 years ago and I not only have had multiple surgeries that literally was torn apart more so it could cover my wounds. I'm on a ton of meds for pain and nerve pain is just horrible and my left thigh that was torn apart from inside my groin to my knee cap, is my pancake thigh because half of it's muscle is now in my arm. Tons and tons of people that can hurt themselves and not be covered by worker's comp like I have, can instantly be kicked out and either live in a box or die in a box. So if you're really ok taking in a random migrant, if the law states it, would you be ok with them being injured and all of the help they'd need? I'm not for it.
I came to the US as a legal immigrant, after almost 4 years here I’m starting to regret my decision, thinking seriously about going back to my home country, I was happier there, there’s so many issues here in the US, the good old America is long gone.
Thanks to your kind
Goodbye, don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
The American dream never existed.
What do you think those of us whose familys built the good old America are supposed to do ? If you are American do your part and if you are not American all the way through good and bad then yes , please leave , this is not your home .
The river needs to be restocked heavily with alligators water moccasins. To stop this CRAP
These people have better clothes, phones with internet service, and accessories than American citizens 😂
Bingo
So true! Look at the homeless in out country
And obese, doesn‘t appear they are starving from unfortunate circumstances…
I've noticed that too
Yes they wear better clothes and shoes than me I have not been able to afford new clothes shoes ECT in 7 plus years and literally wear same clothes for almost 8 years now
As someone who came here legally, and I am still on a work visa, paying 32% plus in taxes for years. While waiting for green card. Paid expensive international student tuition. They need to send them back. Or make the opportunity for those of us come legally get green card faster. If the make the legal way faster maybe people will follow suit
Here in Chile we have hundreds of thousands of them. Be careful, they're the most lazy, haughty and ungrateful people I've ever encounter. ALL of the are college graduates "too smart" to do manual jobs. You guys should google about "el tren de Aragua", one of the biggest gangs in South America, that originated on Venezuela
This guy complained there's no privacy in the shelter & it is like a prison. What does he think that nobody invites them to come in here & they are welcome to return to their own country !!!
The borders should be closed. Asylum should be applied for from the their home country or wait in Mexico. These are economic migrants, which don't even qualify for Asylum. FJB!
USA could start slave labour and put these people into good use as cheap workforce......Bring in someone from China who knows a thing or two on how to keep the slaves loyal like they do in Xiinjang
Just like the first colonials.
@@JitzyJT yes. Good old fashion slavery. 😂 😂
then your just as ignorant as the next because THE MAJORITY of the people coming in ARE NOT MEXICAN! People from all over the world especially DR cross the border there because it’s easier to get across. Smh
They are used as indentured slaves and you are benefitting from it.
Could you imagen how much money all this poor people cost to the tax payers? Meanwhile people in this Country have to pay for Education and Health care
Could you imagine how much money and political instability cost your county to the countries around the world? Meanwhile people in those countries still pay for their lives
Hi
New York City doesn't have a migrant problem. California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas does have a migrant problem. Texas is smart sharing the wealth. Keep sending busses.
Tell that lady who welcoming illegal immigrants to take a dozen of them home with her.
Why doesn't Mrs. Quinn have the same passion for homeless starving American people
And the fact she would so openly express how giving them citizenship because she never seen people so eagerly to work and they will work WOW just amazes me
She just wants an anchor position on CNN. She doesn't give 2 flying fucks about homeless American citizens, just whatever can get her ahead on mainstream dnc mouthpiece media
Yeah that lady is dumb. One of my friends from one of my past jobs was from Mexico he had a work visa, so he would cross the border everyday to come to work. Our job was in a garage changing oil and tires it was very physical labour, after all of that this guy still worked on his own business fixing AC units. He had an insane work ethic, and was one of the most humble people I’ve ever known.
Mrs. Quinn is a fool. A top fool and so sociologically stupid.
Because she's not a native of Usa
This reporter is supporting illegal immigration!!! She needs to take responsibility and financially support each and every one of them! Once she is impacted financially, she may change her mind!!! She has said nothing about our American homeless!! And then the Illegals have the nerve to complain about their free accommodations!! Incredible and ungrateful!! They thought they would get everything for free!! Incredible!!!! DEPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY!!!
As long as the tax paying American citizens allow politicians to get away with this atrocity it will continue until something tragic happens. Politicians have destroyed America.
5 million. So far since Brandon took office
How dumb the people were to vote for Brandon!!! Now look at America being invaded!!!!! Tax payers are going to pay for all these people!!!!!
You are right.
@@fidelaromo6705 more than likely far more than that considering all the other migrants sneaking in from other parts of the world.
@@king-xerxus7040 💯 we will never know for sure as more keep coming in every day
I'm a single dad with 2 boys and I barely clear 2 grand a month after taxes/insurance/ss ....English is my native language, I'm computer literate. I have connections all around the country. Family/old buds/former co-workers. We're barely making it. I'm lucky if I can sock away a hundred bucks a month for savings. We live in the rural west... that's the only way we get by. $2000 a month in NY will get you closet to pass out in. These people have no idea what they are getting into. There's going to theft, prostitution, rape, disease, scams, and death. Its sucks man. Its going to be brutal.
Why don't they pitch a tent in their own country and get on programs for their food.
“We sold everything we had left… our house and the few valuables we had” dang I wish I had a house!!!
and who's buying "a house" when you can see their people starving and looking for something to eat on dumpsters or even eating rotten food on the streets!🤔
I as a veteran wish I could get half the benefits these illegal migrants get.
welcome to bidenomics@@dagmard6783
Born and raised in the usa. I am at poverty level already. Finding it harder and harder to make a living while there is so many illegal immagrants taking jobs for cash under the table and sending it back to their families in their country. The fact is tax payers can not afford to take care of these families. I have a job. I've worked all my life. Even as a child I would go to neighbors and ask if they needed any yard work done or help around the house. I believe the solution starts with the country that they are from. What are we doing for those that are homeless on our own streets. Our government can't even resolve that situation. How are we suppose to take in any and all that want to come here whether they are legal or not. Our people here are dying on the streets from starvation, no shelter, hypothermia, crime and drug addiction because we also don't have the money to offer free rehabilitation to those who desire it.
Get a job then.
The day laborer's who stand around Home Depot want over $20 an hour cash in the San Francisco Bay Area.
And it will gets worse and worse... America will become a new Venezuela... Your population is been little by little replaced. Whites dropped from 87% of the population in the 60's to 56% in the 2010's.... It is game over for the US...
The present administration has screwed every American!!! Simple.
You were born in USA. That means you are far ahead millions of people. I'm sure you're able to find employment if you really try. Stop finding excuses.
Why are they all so clean and well fed for traveling to get here for years?
If it's this bad in NYC with just less than 1% of the migrants coming over, why is nobody in the media showing us how super bad it must be in the border towns along the Southern Border where 99% are still are?? Biden's America is just crazy, but nobody is saying anything about the utterly devastating democratic policies.
I’m only seeing those interviewed just explaining a desire to work or not making enough money so they came. This is not in line for a legitimate asylum claim. It’s awful but we can’t take them all and for the reasons they’re saying they came will end in them being sent back as they don’t meet the requirements. Even if they stay imagine they have little to no skills or education so there’s no way they can support themselves here especially when it wasn’t working before. None of them have any money as it is. They will be dependents and burdens to the states.
Don't worry USA will give them a tarp, bikes, couple of grocery carts and send them on the streets sooner or later when the heats off of them.
If this keeps going on the USA will totally collapse. That is what the present administration wants. No country, but no country in the world can sustain this economically as it is. I see illegal immigrants already walking around town, looking as if they are lost and do not what to do. Wait till there is no money and food and then the crime will be unleashed.
These are "economic migrants." The UK has a massive problem with them, too.
It's unlikely they will be deported under the Biden administration.
@Steve bingo
I would like to ask them why are they birthing so many children into circumstances as dire as theirs in their own countries.
they love having sex and dont care about the future. latinos never think about the future. its not part of their brain.
Becuz people love to FuC!
Poor people with little resources think theyre entitled to sex. The men cant be celibate....
I never understood that either. I make good money but I'm not prepared for that bill or child support if it doesn't work.
@@marvin469 Don't bust inside.
Many of them don't want to work ....
I think US citizens should go to Venezuela and enter USA from there to get the help they need
It's amazing that none of these people look like the are starving. After traveling so far, they look pretty fit. Doesn't that raise questions from anyone. How could they walk so many miles and be so healthy? Sorry.
this is all propaganda......
Did you watch the show? It said they rode and walked.
It's because MOST haven't lived in Venezuela for yrs. They claimed asylum in another country & are coming here for an upgrade. They aren't fleeing ANYTHING. They're opportunists who want free stuff. 😑
Do you want to see them suffer more I guess 😔 Dianna not good enough for you.
Meth
It's basically like you cut in line at the store, have no money in your pocket, and expect the store to pay for your groceries because times are hard for you. Then when they don't, you get mad and sit down in front of the register until someone serves you. FOH....
Lol... exactly WTF is going on!!
You hit the nail on the head fam
Then the people from Mexico have a problem about border crossing when people from south America and Hati want to cross
That was an excellent analogy. 💯
Well said. Agreed.
so if i dress up like a venezulean i can get a free ride back to nyc and a hotel room... count me in
It is NOT a cheap political point lady, NY city is a sanctuary city and the mayor welcomed them. SO, now you have a problem with that! What part of them being ILLEGAL don't you understand!? They should follow the process and request "asylum" at a point of entry. Looking for a better life is NOT a ground for asylum. On top of that, they feel entitled, they want everything given to them for free. It is absolutely disgusting that US citizens who need the help don't receive it.
They should take care of the poor americans first before admitting these People into the country
I know ,why can't the homeless Americans stay in hotels ,just so wrong
18:25 They left out that the Venezuelan migrant arguing with the security guard did not want to get up and leave the shelter for the day. Everyone is supposed to leave the shelter at a certain time, an employee came to wake him up and when he became belligerent and abusive and refused to get up the security guard was called. Instead of following the rules, making up his bed and leaving as he was asked he acted like a fool.
The other guy complaining about the shelter beds being set up like a prison should be grateful he was given a bed, did he expect a room at The Plaza Hotel? There are many families and individuals living on the streets, in their car or going from place to place cause they have nowhere to live. If they were giving beds to sleep on they wouldn't be complaining.
They come here with nothing to offer expecting to be taken care of and on top of that they complain and make demands of a country that has no obligation to them. These people are the lowest of the low from Venezuela, they act like this every where they go, that's why they have been run out of every single country in Latin America, no one wants them. In conclusion, I have never seen so much impudence and ungratefulness from a group of people in my life! No wonder the border was closed to them.
Also, a lot of those central American immigrants are racist towards people of African descent due to Spanish colonization they don’t even like people of African dissent in their home countries, so now that they have to deal with Black people in power in USA many of them have issues with that, and that’s also a factor in what you saw as well
And now they're suing us bc we haven't taken care of them properly. SMH
We're getting the losers and criminals of these other countries. When the rich is leaving then a country is bad. California is bad the ppl with money are leaving and America into a land of homelessness due to overpriced rent mow we have these fuckers taking all our rights and aid we pay taxes on
They never tell the true story of the confrontation...
Their optimism is so sad.
“As soon as they get legal status”, h_ll no, they shouldn’t even be here.
5:27 child gets Cheetos, mom gets cash money. Your tax dollars direct from border agents
I find it amazing how clean and well groomed these people are that have walked 2000 miles to get here through jungles and everything else.
How about looking at the ROOT cause of this... like why the UN and our tax money is paying for them to get here.
just say you are racist bro so much easier!
@@czahc0s176 if not wanting to fund the invasion of our country makes me a racist so be it! When the money stops so will they.
and who is paying for it all??
Great observation!.......looks like they took a cruise ship here, no scrappy beards, fresh looking haircuts, the ladies look really good to have put in all of this foot-work!
NWO
A venezuelan cousing of mine came in illegally, got pregnant on purpose so she can have an american kid and get government assistance, got medicaid and all that so free birth, yet here I am paying $8,000 to birth just 1 kid. I work full time, a US Citizen etc. How is that fair??
It's not .
@@mr.b9722 yeah so whenever i recieve a call from the medical collectors i always say "call biden" and hang up. F them all
That's what i mean
They are full of malice coming to USA pregnant. Moral fraud they like to commit ..
Every body knows them
And about their lack of values. None gratus persona. Status
Maybe she cried out to Jesus Christ of Nazareth and God had mercy on her because God is Sovereign and the favor of God is not fair. Understand!!
That's why they should make it against the law for people to have no more than two kids or three no more than that and they can't get on the county with their kids they have to work and if they have more than three kids they have to go back to their country with them kids that they had in America that should be the new law
They have new shows and clean clothes on. For someone who has walked miles this does not make sense. What is really going on.?
Wow, these ungrateful people sure do complain a lot
One of my coworkers has an LEGAL open process, her family is from Venezuela, she is an American Citizen, this LEGAL process takes 8 to 10 years to be approved after affidavit of support, back ground checks both sides at the beginning and end, proof of taxes and expensive fees, she told me it is not fair, I have to pray everyday to be healthy and have a long life to see my children here meanwhile thousand are crossing the borders everyday and have been granted to stay in the United States for free.
Illegality won?
Not fair at all!!
For free and with more rights than even a citizen… it’s just unfair.
It’s not fair
Not fair to humans neither Amphibians like me
It is extremely unfair to all who follow the laws to come to the USA legally. And these advocates for illegals are a slap on the face to all who came to the USA legally... Very sad and unfair.
Why doesn't America do this for our own Homeless population? I need to understand why we can put these illegal immigrants in $200 a day hotels and we can't take care of our own Homeless because of greedy landlords. This is sick. I feel for these people but somethi ng is wrong very wrong.
Homeless Americans should pose as refugees
That particular hotel is $700 a night. Nothing but the best... 😑
@@1186wolf
Noooooooo. 🙅♂️🙅🏼♀️ We're full. 🚫🌎
Cause they been bumming all their lives
I struggle with this question too. Because I personally know people who've been out there and weren't given hotel rooms by the city or state unless it was imprisonment.
Funny how New York didn’t care when it was a Texas or Arizona problem. I thought Gov Abbott was brilliant and smart to bus them North. You can’t sit in your northern cities and expect border states to bear the brunt of this border problem.
I disagree with the guy who said it’s OK to drink and smoke because it is not OK when you don’t even have a roof over your head
This has been a problem since the 70's.. want to know the first step before anything else?? CLOSE THE BORDER....
Absolutely. Don't know if it'll be possible to remove the ones already here, but just CLOSING THE BORDER will prevent this from getting any worse. An ounce of PREVENTION is worth a pound of care.
Border will never be closed. The economy would get worse because we are a trade partner. Stop giving illegals free services and they will stop coming
This is the best comment. Most people think this just started with Biden administration. I live in S. TX been an issue for decades
This has been a problem since colonizers arrived on the shores here. Period.
And tell me why we should put anyone ahead of our own
We shouldn't. But the current Democratic Party is dead set on opening our borders to migrants. What we are seeing now is partisanship at its worst. Securing the border is toxic to the Democrats, because it has Trump's fingerprints on it. And the reverse is also true--Republicans will reject something because it has Democrat fingerprints. It hasn't always been this way. I'm old enough to remember a time when the two parties were able to work together. I wish now that we could just get rid of political parties. But I don't think we can.
And when this family to New York they thought that everything is bed of roses…
Homeless on the American streets and cities is worst humanitarian crisis than migrants experiences in their own country.
Is their sadness worse than the sadness of US citizens??? Violence is here esp where the poor live.
They think is gona be free too live in the USA lol especially since everything went up since Covid days lol rent money lol
That guy Johnny Ramos already complaining about shelters, nobody ask you to come to USA
Venezuelans Mexicans Hispanics men women are living free rent in Dallas Texas Apts such as Sutton Place. These illegals are community stalking working citizens. They are trying to take over. Refuse to obey rules. Loud Crazy Dangerous. They plots to get working citizens to move.
😂😂😂
I can empathize when smoking being obnoxxious.... but, that was his way of trying to paint migrants as bettrr ppl than our citizens... lol.
Love the pregnant woman who complained nobody was giving her medical help. So, being pregnant all of a sudden you walk through 99 countries to get here, supposedly , and now you feel we owe you what? Medical help? If you were so concerned about your baby, you would have stayed put where you were living.
This is sickening. I feel no sympathy for these people.
NYC should have to deal with some of this nonsense that the people of Texas have been dealing with much longer than NYC has.
The problem we got to stop sending foreign aid to other countries
Right! If they are here why send money there?
This is most likely preventing more of them from coming over. Their countries really are a mess. So if the aid stop more will come.better border enforcement and constantly busing them back.
People waited for years to come to the U.S. legally, what so special about them. It is not fair to those who waited. BTW they have the same reason: economic hardship in their respective countries.
Actually, we should spend more to fix problems there and same time close the border. If they had jobs, they wouldn't come
You spelled destabilizing Latin American countries wrong lol that's what 🇺🇸 gets
The states have a hard enough time to take care of their own let alone people from other countries ! What are those poor people going to do?!
They aren't poor, innocent migrants. They haven't lived in Venezuela for yrs. They claimed asylum in another South American country & are coming here for an upgrade. They paid thousands to criminals to break in. They lie & say they're in danger to enter. They aren't allowed to work & are living off of us. They have no intention of assimilating, learning English or doing anything to contribute to our country. They're uneducated & unskilled, living off OUR welfare benefits. We need to close the border & deport every single one of them. 🇺🇸🙏🏼💞
Get welfare, EBT, housing assistance.
Wishing you the most beautiful things in this new month as you aspire for the hope of God. May the blessing of the Lord be blended with your success in life. Wishing you a fantastic new month
Hello how are you doing?
@@michaeljose3556 just sitting here with your mother
FIRST TIME IVE HEARD THIS ITS AUGUST 2023. GOD BLESS AMERICA. LOTS OF LOVE FROM GLADYS, ALL OF US IN LONDON ENGLAND.
Why are the opening shots always of women and children, and not who the majority of migrants are, young men.
I understand many are looking for better lives but doesn't mean its ok the enter a country illegally. my family waited for years to be able to arrive to the US. We weren't rich just poor farmers. They can cry all they want but this is not how to do it. In two years, this administration allowed more illegal immigrants than the population of the 6-7 states with the lowest population combined or more than 4 times the population of hawaii.
I am american Born raised none of my family are immigrants..I HATE to hear storys like yours. Your family has to wait for many years all the while they get to stay just by crossing the Border and having Babies here....I feel for you...😪
There's nothing named poor rich farmers so u were Rich even yet your parents migrated😒🤣
@JESUS SAVES THE DAY Russia and Ukraine
@@knos360are you a Native American ? and if not then your family must have came from somewhere else .
@@knos360 Do you not know how to read? The op said his family had to wait for years to be able to enter the US. You're a so called "American" born and raised yet you're illiterate or better yet you just lack basic comprehension. Among other things, you're not Indigenous Native like me so therefore YES your family were immigrants. Bless your little heart.
No papers. No stay 🇬🇧
Please don't what's you prime minister background 🤣
@@miriamocean6776 he wasn’t elected by the people! He was chosen by his own party it was democratic vote. He will be out next election
@@miriamocean6776 his parents came here legally. He was then privately educated at Oxford, he then went to America and joined the corporate ladder & later married into another extremely wealthy family. His background is not one of non English speaking or poverty. He has not faced a General Election here either, being elected only by his own party. I despise him & his right wing policies, not because of his ethnicity. We have too many illegal immigrants in the UK and its seriously affected the quality of life here, too. There is no cause more worthy for any nation than caring for her own people.
Fleeing from war and persecution in a Louis Vuitton Lacoste tee shirts. I wish I could afford one. I also have to choose to eat or heat. Perhaps I should join the queue to enter the USA.
The mayor should run a ad asking residents to adopt a family or single person and show your sanctuary city what’s able to do for another human being even if the city is willing to help with the expenses until these people get settled
been paying taxes FOR 20 YEARS ,paying lawyers and cant even get legal here, these leaches come here and get handed ALL
Ironic you would say that. You know better that you qualify for nothing though you still have to pay taxes. So, they are in the same: they would never qualify for anything except for first few days of shelter, if at all. After that, they would be like you forever.
That's not fair when the Haitian people come they have to go back to Haiti, but when the Latino come they send them to New York different states they allowed to stay, wow this is not fair
Haitian are Latino too. And no just Venezuelan cause they don't have relax with the us
Already one group is trying to step above the rest. That shows you their character. Coming here illegally, I don't care where you're from shows me you don't care about your own people , waiting to enter legally, and you don't care about anybody here because you seem to think we're here to support your butt. I don't think so. Stop playing that stupid race card, we're all tired of it. Look at the tons of crime in NYC now. Do you see Latinos doing the crimes? Why don't you take a good long look at who's doing the smash and grabs in stores, or grabbing peoples jewelry off their necks walking down the streets of the city, or pushing elderly people to the ground, or pushing innocent people on the subway train tracks. Go ahead, take a good long look at who's doing all this crime.
@@dulcerivas9286the difference is Haiti is a Black Country and the United States is harsh with black immigrants that’s not talked about at all
Exactly 💯. This is a difficult situation but can not be handled in this way.
Right
It was not a cheap political point by the Republican governors. It was a smart move. Now people are paying attention and something finally might be done to help these people.
New York has no idea how tough it is dealing with migrants, CA among other states have had to deal with this crap for decades.
It’s so sad that they think life will be any easier
It's hard here too. How can they get a job if they can't speak English. The elite want to make Mexico, Canada and the US a whole region.
Anyone who think life will be a house of Gold, should better thick twice
@JESUS SAVES THE DAY that's why we humans have to do our possible best as we can, and let God take care of the rest...

Compared to what they ran away from, this is paradise.
I wish the US would use this much resources to help the veterans / homelessness and rent controll .In California rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is up to 1,800 ,and not to mention gas ,and food prices are Out of control.People living paycheck to paycheck 😥
Yes I know my dear. I am sickened by the way our government bends over backwards for these parasites! 😡
He didn’t force anything… The mayor said…Send them here! Welp you got what you asked for.
They need to divide this to other countries other than JUST UNITED STATES.
I understand they want a better life. But they are very naive thinking getting dropped off in New York is going to be a dream. Wait until they find out rent in New York cost and arm an a leg. 🥴😑
Food is also up 30 percent. I went to bay ridge to get a slice of cheesecake and coffee for my birthday. A year ago it was 5 dollars and now 7.50
USA should take advice from countries like Canada, Australia, China, Russia on this matter and see what they doing to control illegal immigrants because this is a nonstop problem for USA only...
This is only a problem because the American people do not want open boarders but the political leaders are not honoring their promise to do what the citizens want but instead they do what the people that are blackmailing or buying them off want them to do.
we're right up the road from S America. Where else will these ppl go? Besides, it's our country that destroyed their countries economies. I don't like it either, but what can we do?
That's cuz who in their right mind would go illigally into any of the countries you mentioned?
@@francisca1822 ...like I said USA should do the same like those countries do, don't you think?...
Because of hollywood movies
This is such bullshit. My Afrikaans fiancee is trying to enter the country LEGALLY... had a $65,000 educator job offer and a home waiting for her here, and was denied US entry on a technicality...while thousands upon thousands are allowed in and immediately become a burden to taxpayers. My fiancee would be an educator here, my stepdaughter a recent Emmy winner at the regional level and both would become US Taxpayers and productive members of society, but instead, we are slowly going broke maintaining our two households in South Africa and Phoenix.
This situation makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Contacted USCIS, who told us we would hear from them Nov, 2025...contacted my Congresswoman and Senator, and both said there was nothing that could be done.
Such complete bullshit.
And what will they do once they’re there? Many will end up lost and aimless and fall victim to the dealers on the streets. This seems almost on purpose; America is huge, so why else would they not be dispersed across a much wider scope instead of dumping thousands on an already struggling city. Crazy and sad.
