When an American falls on hard times, we are not allowed to sleep inside police stations. We are also not allowed to sleep inside the airport. We are also not given a $9000 voucher for housing. If the local food pantry runs out, then we don’t get food. Stop expecting Americans to feel compassionate for people who snuck into this country, and are getting more help than the American citizens who have paid into the system.
That’s because republicans won’t let us democrat enact “socialist” policies
US is in fact rewarding people who break the law. Go figure!!
Actually all you said , Americans do have that . Don't be spreading false information. The problem is that we Americans spreading forced to beg while our money is going to other people who don't belong Here
We as Christian’s should feed the hungry. There is NO FOOD NO JOBS IN VENEZUELA, but what happens when OUR SHELVES ARE ALSO EMPTY AS IN VENEZUELA?
Food for thought
And that is PRECISELY the reason that “I” have removed the “Holy SEE” FROM ROME, to the American State of TEXAS, where “I” now reside. You may view My Diplomatic Card online at the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
It is hanging on the wall!
I'm still waiting to hear how the homeless Americans are being taken care of.
we could stop paying taxes bet they would listen the only reason why they dont care about us is we are already here contributing
YOU GOIN BE WAITIN A LONG TIME 🫣😬🤔
These immigrants being taken care for only 3 months. Some of the homeless went in & out of care for years. Most don’t even want shelter when asked.
@@kevinmanan1304 - this is BS - it is easy for u to turn ur back on ur fellow Americans - i would continue to spend money on citizens - then people that just show up and demand benefits!!!
The people homeless are not political pawns, they are homeless and thrown out in the street.
That 17 year old is saying he wants the "American Dream." When asked what he wants from America by the reporter he said that he wants to get his high school diploma, graduate from college and have a family. He's under the impression that it's the way in America and the ladder of success here. Little does he know thousands of college grads are without jobs and have been laid off from their jobs. It's been hard for many Americans to get jobs to truly support themselves and to even have a family in the first place.
You’re absolutely right
@@gustavoalmeida8344 That’s all good, dandy, nothing is for free, it’s costing it’s on the backs of the taxpayers. Alot of Americans with college education degrees are also struggling too a lot us are poor too we are just surviving just enough to survive barely thriving. What your immigrant mentality doesn’t know we Americans have problems too, United States of America has it own issues, problems too the United States doesn’t have, hold the same powerhouse values that it once had it has changed a lot, you migrants will soon find that out real soon the struggle is real😄
Anyone can make excuses for why they have not taken advantage of the American dream. THERE'S A REASON PEOPLE RISK THIER LIVES TO GET TO AMERICA. IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT HERE YOU PROBABLY AREN'T DOING SOMETHING
@@gustavoalmeida8344 I wasn’t referring to you so don’t assume got nothing to do with you. They come here with the immigrant entitlement mentality, making demands they assumed Americans got it easier as if we don’t go through struggles. We don’t own you nothing get it on your own like so many of us are doing. My families came here legally earned their way here, didn’t rely on the taxpayers. They need to stand up, fight for their rights, believe in their country fix, build your country stop running from your country to run to the United States, burdened us with your issues you are having in your country. Heck look at the Salvadorians people the president in their country is taking care of his people they economy is booming, thriving these people are not running over here using up our resources costing us billions of dollars
@@gustavoalmeida8344
Nah!
It’s a just a dude who scared to touch homeless transients and vagrants. He’s ranting.
Sorry we’re not sympathetic but we Americans are struggling and could really use OUR money from OUR taxes to help US
For us everything is expensive utilities groceries, gas for them everything it’s free Thanks to our taxes.
American who cant compete w immigrants need to evaluate their skill set & mind set.. 😢
Biden should have told Zelensky the same.
@@RedHanded1969Illegals who think they can come here to this country illegally should reevaluate their lives.
The United States is much larger than China which has four times larger population. This means, we have enough space and resources for everyone, so just come and settle while you can.
Their futures?
American citizens come first for our future.
Apparently not.
Progressive socialists democrats are running the country, so expect to share your resources, comrade.
Thank you! Citizens should come first!
Trillions for wars and other nations, but we can't even house our own citizens. Empire in decline.
THIS IS OVER
@@eugenemichael2362 If back in 2019, you had told me this would the state of the world in 2023, I just flat out, wouldn't have believed you. Whole world nosedived in less than 3 years. Humanity needs to try something different. What that is. I couldn't tell you.
@@GungaLaGungawhen you treat your own citizens less than you are going to have less people care about their country. I’m not even talking about people who are homeless because they want to be. There are many hard working people in America who live in their vehicles. Then they wonder why people don’t want to serve in the military anymore. You can judge a country by the way it treats it’s own citizens
Remember that helping American citizens is a "handout" but giving millionaires and billionaires tax breaks or government subsidies is fine to some people.
@@GungaLaGungathey already have a solution and that's the Great Reset.
What about OUR veterans?! What about OUR homeless citizens? Why wasn't this done them?!?!?!
Because they were the suckers in this game. The smart ones were the illegals.
That’s what all veterans get for believing that this country actually stood for something
I totally agree. I don’t know why everybody is so blind this, I understand it’s one thing to have compassion but these people are illegals they are coming illegally enough said enough done it this is too much. I appreciate your post and more and more people need to stand up for rights for our country. This is getting crazy. It’s only getting worse day by day. We don’t know where these people come from what they have what they’ve been through what crimes did left in their countries and a lot of them are coming with children that don’t even belong to them. This administration is a disgrace.
What are you doing for our veterans and homeless?
DNC has found new victim groups.
It IS done for them. New York City is one of the few places that guarantees if you want a bed in a shelter they will give you a badperiod just because veterans around the country are homeless and on the street doesn’t mean you can compare that to New York City.
But you’re partly right that veterans aren’t taken care of. The last president just talked like he cared, but he didn’t. And that pattern continues.
People need to stay in their own countries and fight for a better life and make things better for their future generations.
People come to the USA because the country they were born in may be extremely poor and full of poverty probably because of their government, and even though the USA is struggling with overpopulation, thats why they immigrate to the USA, whereas in their own country, their governments need to do better
If Europeans had done that, the US wouldn't have existed. If Europeans had a god-given right to migrate to the Americas, so do these poor latinos. They were the original inhabitants of this land.
If a person sells her entire property and walks 3000 miles to the border just for the opportunity to work and go to school, something that we take completely for granted, what does that say about their home country? Can people there really "make things better for their future generations"?
Then stop telling Americans moving to Europe, Japan, and Canada then. It works both ways
@@joshuabuchanan1141 A lot of global poverty is a DIRECT result of American foreign policy (Cuba, Vietnam, Venezuela, North Korea, Syria, Iraq, Iran & Libya are prime examples).
Had America meddled less in the affairs of these countries, there would've been less suffering there. American "sanctions" and "blockades" have consequences.
And the consequences of "economic harrassment" of these brown nations are often the mass migration of brown people from those beleagured states to to Europe or North America (whichever place is closer).
I’m not going to be persuaded to care for our replacements crossing the borders WHEN WE HAVE VETS, HOMELESS, AND POOR HERE ALREADY! It’s tough enough trying to make it without kids. Wtf should I take care of these people before our own citizens?
These people act like we don't have violence, hungry people, homeless and disasters. The world in general is facing hardships, not just them. I think these people are in for a big awakening
I cannot give them sympathy, they KNOW they here illegally, but came anyway. Charity begins at home.
Don’t guilt me into paying for your dream I can’t even afford mine.
facts bro!
MLK had a dream, but it wasn’t for his people to have to compete with illegals for jobs and affordable housing. Being replaced and staying a permanent underclass
What he said
Try harder. Difference between you and them, they want the dream more than you do. And it shows
@@Loosie_furOh they are living the dream alright in hotels, shelters , in tents on the streets 😂😂😂😂
Why cant they "fight for a future" at their home?
lazy
Ikr!
I've asked that same question this week.🥺
For the same reason the US has invaded all these countries, illegally, multiple times.
Million dollar question!
How can American students succeed in a school for "excellence" if their classes are flooded with students don't speak English and haven't completed the qualifying years of study. Are they tested first for academic qualifications?
Facts
Lol foreign language is a general education requirement at universities remember?? And many do take Spanish. Lol
Con razón los gringos no saben que América es un continente y que está conformado por países .piensan que América está entre México y Canadá.cuando América comprende desde Alasca hasta la Patagonia
We can’t, it’s neo-colonialism what’s happening and our government is complicit because it’s in their interests to allow it.
@@MariaLopez-tb4fp English B. Learn to speak the language
Everyone wants to have a better life. Yes, but you have to come in a legal way. American people are struggling ourselves. We can't keep paying for this.
Asylum seekers is a legal way
@@JazznRealHipHop nah, 94% isn't qualified for asylum status. This will jam the system
@x-men69-96 it's not even a case of they will, they HAVE jammed the system. I brought my wife to the US under a family reunification visa, and the process has taken over six months (and is still ongoing). How is it fair that Biden creates specific programs for Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, etc., and allows them to enter the same system that citizens trying to bring their family to the US are using?
I sympathize with these people, but for those of us doing things the right way (and paying fees and lawyers out of our own pocket), the act of just letting these people in is infuriating.
@@jgs0025 it’s fair because those countries are in crisis. What’s not fair is the broken immigration system handling everyone. We need to invest in programs to assist everyone
Those border states were stolen from Mexico. I say they should hold the burden of all Latin asylum seekers.Trump won Florida due to former Cuban asylum seekers.
Economic migrants who get free food, housing, healthcare, education all tax payer funded. I didn’t vote for Trump the last two times, but I will now.
It’s too late for that.
Late in waking up!?!
You're low key responsible for this mess now by not voting for him in the first place. Being emotional is not the basis for voting. Trump was CLEARLY the most practical candidate
😂 too late. You had 2 opportunities and you refused both times.
You will not get a 3rd time.
Now you deal with the consequences of your actions.
If you do not have the basic foresight to understand that border control is not a left or right issue, it's literally the basis of a nation state, you don't have the right to even be a voter.
It's too late now
If I go over the speed limit, I get a ticket because it is illegal, right? Following the same logic (even worse), if these migrants cross the border illegally, why is there no consequence?? Shouldn't they be sanctioned to return back to their country? Is our tax dollars supposed to support these people? I'm confused why no punishment is issued for these people as we could be allowing terrorist into the country as well.
Seeking asylum is a legal process. But the process is broken because the last administration never fixed it. And administration before that didn’t have the problem. Both parties just want to play games.
So I can’t vote based on who plays less games, I have to vote based on who actually cares about elections and who wants to overturn elections and head towards fascism. But I do want all the asylum-seekers out of here. And if they really need asylum because they’re absolutely destitute, then that’s by empty land and house them outside in rough conditions. Normally I wouldn’t say that but there’s just too many of them. But I don’t blame people for wanting to come here for a better life. But if they know they can only come and have a rough life, Manny won’t come. That’ll weed out the ones who are absolutely destitute.
What makes you think they are terrorists because they came to the country illegally that doesn't mean nore prove they are terrorists and also the same could be said WHT there is no consequences for your former president who was a actual criminal
@@iMatti00the last admin? You mean current admin? The the last admin was securing the border and the wall waa working until Biden on his first week in office abolished that so what do you mean?
You know why......because democrats want new voters so they can stay in power. So they are importing new voters and their kids
@iMatti00 yhea if you beilve that how many back flips off of a rainbow can you do?
Can AMERICANS, who are 3rd gen trailer people, with NO future, go to the city and get a new start? You have a program for that?
Our beloved small town in South Carolina has been taken over by illegals, once beautiful and litter free is now full of garbage, stray dogs & chickens running loose in town, many of the women look down their nose at us like we should not be there. The houses, once manicured lawns now look like slums. Its just disheartening.
They bring your property value down. I’ve seen it in California.
this is why they were let into our country to destroy it. this has been planned for fifty years by the wef fjb is a member and so are most of politicians.
Wait, wait, cbs told me for 2 years there was no border crisis, what else are they not telling us.
Alot more,,we don't know nothing until it happens..so. don't be surprised..
This is crazy, they need to be sent back. We literally can’t sustain all of those people.
that's why they are letting them in to make our economy collapse so they can install the one world communist government. fjb is working for the wef.
Actually we can because there are entire states that have nobody in them like Montana and Wyoming in North Dakota and South Dakota and Utah in Nebraska and Colorado and Idaho all of them states in the middle of the country are incredibly huge and have nobody living there. So we do have the space for them. Also have space Upstate New York not New York City where you same thing you have a bunch of counties with nobody that lives in them. The problem here is when this young lady says that she would rather go back home then stay here and be alone that you can't claim Asylum and say that. If you would rather go back home you never came here under the guise of asylum in the first place political Asylum or religious Asylum means you will fear getting persecuted or murdered back home in your home country but you're saying that you just came here because you thought you was going to get you a good job a little better life based on some fantasy. That wasn't realistic. Now for the person who is claiming Asylum they've got to understand it's going to take some time to execute all the measures that you need to do legally to submit your assignment claim. You just got to roll with the punches and maybe hard here initially at the first but it may even out the more time you spend in the country a lot of these people just thought they would come here and everything would be golden. And just the language Liberia alone should have told you that that was not going to happen
Sad when there are Americans who have worked in this country for 25 years and have never been able to afford a trip to New York and have worked their whole lives… AMERICANS WHO HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN NEW YORK AND HAVE PAID INTO THIS SYSTEM FOR DECADES!!!
Girl no one wants to go to new york
Then you are lazy if after 25 years of chasing the dream you failed. You’re government is busy sharing Greek-Gifts dollars worldwide, so we know that all USA citizens are fine 😅
Trust me, you’re not missing anything there lol. I was there for a Week (New Years 2022) and it’s too many People in a Tiny Space, High Prices. I’ll never go back there
My dad visited Ny back in the 80’s said he was surprised by how dirty the place really was. This man came straight from west Philly.. ion think ppl are missing much lol
Worked in this country for 25 years/worked their whole lives and can't afford a trip to New York City? That's nonsense. Traveling to most places in the US is not THAT expensive.
I'm so sick of these attempted heart tearing stories. They know exactly what they're doing is wrong and if they don't, then we truly don't need this caliper of stupidness here. When the hell is someone going to ask US how we feel? Do a story on that
Just here for the freebies and trash as they go.
It’s embarrassing how they were immediately able to help these people with our money but I’ve NEVER seen this kind of effort put into our own ppl. They simply should not be here, doesn’t matter what the reason. You’re telling me there’s not a single safe nation near them??? What a joke.
Born and raised an American. Im now disabled . I've been hungry for 5 days. Haven't been able to get any assistance. But nobody cares about that. WTF? Where is our help when we have hard times? SMH
5 days is nothing. Many of us are hungrier for longer so shut up
My partner works in early childhood education and has to work with school sites that have absorbed waves of migrants.
On top of existing challenges for American teachers, the next stretch for them was supposed to be desegregating special ed students into mainstream classrooms; ~10% of any given class. 2 out of 20. She now routinely sees classrooms where 50% of the kids have behavioral problems, developmental delays, trauma/abuse cases.
There are whole classes of students in elementary school who speak zero English and are 2-4 years behind. Child Protective Services cases have skyrocketed, the kids display all kinds of signs of physical and sexual abuse. Most local residents of any means have had to move their kids to private school because the public schools have been dragged down so much.
It has to be said, the neighborhood character has also changed for the worse. What used to be one of the most quiet, desirable suburbs is slowly turning into…something else. Kids roam around unsupervised, junior high age kids weave dangerously through auto traffic on their bikes doing wheelies. The neighborhood sidewalks are sprinkled with fruit and other gray market street vendors. People are hesitant to use sections of the local playgrounds and parks because young men cluster in 10-20 to smoke weed and eyeball anyone that walks through. Then they graduate to sideshows, doing donuts in their cars and crashing into each other.
But I guess that makes me xenophobic to notice all this.
Well they keep adding diagnoses, so they can excuse bad behavior... Never ONCE seen anyone acknowledge bad intent amongst children... Like they don't remember childhood.
My friend that teach in public school told me the very same ..my wife also told me..(she is a pathologist..fully booked )
Get used to it. This is how the government deals with falling US birth rates. Regardless of which political party is in power, I can promise you, there won’t be any “solutions” being brought forth. There are increasing rates of Latin Americans joining military service. The military isn’t going to turn off the tap of new recruits especially when every branch has reported insufficient recruiting numbers. These people also makeup the majority of the US agricultural workforce also, 51% per the USDA.
@@razorburn7745 and then we get surprised when the Zetas or other narco groups get US military training…
@@razorburn7745 First we were told they "do the jobs we won't do"... and now its "failing birthrates" which is even more dumb.... I have a better idea! How about we just vote out the politicians who started this with their ideology of a "global world". Every non-western politicians protects their borders of their own countries? Why can't the west?
Even the advocate stated, “their just here for the opportunity”, yes they are. He should Not compare our current LEGAL immigrants who paid, waited and worked on their cases for years and came in legally. No comparison.
They are Economic migrants and not running no war Biden let in 250,000 illegal immigrants last year and Another 1.5ILLION will be entering in the next 2 years..
It only takes years if you have no valuable skills or family/support in the US. Most who legally apply wait less than a year.
This is insane.
Is it just me or is this crazy? This video pretty blames everyone/everything except the root of the problem, the OPEN Border. Crazy they do not try to address that.
Not our problem
These are supposed to be ASYLUM seekers, and they are not seeking ASYLUM. If this is going to be the case, then they have to be deported.
They should fight for a future in their own countries, not America.
I m not xenophobic ..but I wanted to enroll my kid to the public school …for what ? 40 kids in one classroom w different Learning levels ..most speaking Spanish …why Mayor Adams is doing that …considering to put in a Private school …but it’s not even tax deductible ….we didn’t ask for this situation …but I wish he cut us some slack. …

@@carymarshallfelton9188 as a Spanish speaker ..does not bother at all ..what bothers me is the over populated schools …I mentioned before …
I think what most don’t think about is that most migrating are expecting jobs and assistance once they arrive at the border, expecting “freedom”. Once they get in the system, most do not try and learn the language or better themselves once they acclimate to America. Our system and immigration laws are broken. How do you expect to help migrants when this country is dealing with high cost of living, food, travel and their own residents who are struggling themselves? How do you help those when you’re paying taxes and still struggling yourself (middle class). Most that come here don’t expect to work (or work hard) and abuse the system, and then don’t contribute to society. Also, you don’t know if those crossing are drug smugglers, traffickers or recently release from jail and expect them to be all good once they come into this country with no baggage without even knowing them?
Asi es 😢
So why don't you get to know them before assuming they are criminals and terrorists
@@luiszx1385How many do you have in your house?
aww
@@irmavillalon7857 wtf why?
If we really want immigration and the rich culture it bring, we should be incentivising businesses to hire immigrants BEFORE they cross our borders; the right and correct way of immigration. That's how my parents did it, and we are now proud citizens of these United States. Skipping this order leads to this madness, and spits on the faces of the ones who actually did it correctly.
My grandparents had a sponsor with a job and a place to live when they arrived here after WWII. They came in the right way, made a life for themselves and never caused a burden to society.
That's what Canada did years ago. They sponsored workers to come into the city and work in the houses as nannies and in hospitals.
And the natural born Americans
America already has a rich culture
Trust me, greedy capitalists are super eager to exploit that cheap migrant labor. You’re good bro you got nothing to worry about.👍
America is building its own funeral pyre. What a tragedy.
The boarder lands are overwhelmed . I go to get groceries for my family here in southern NM and the streets are riddled with homeless Americans and aliens . It’s very unsettling . $2.99 for a single bell pepper. Crime has gone up 300% . I had my car stolen while it was in the shop for repairs ( old 1993 suburban) . It’s all too much . A lady I know her , husband fell Ill and can no longer work. she went to see about getting emergency help and they turned her away . They informed her that emergency aid was only for undocumented immigrants. Americans are getting pushed to the side . Thanks Joe !
My mom got diagnosed with lung cancer and could no longer work so she applied for food stamps in NM. She was shocked to see it blatantly says on the application that they will not ask about citizenship status 🤦🏻♀️ They gave her $67/month in EBT and she has worked her whole life 😔
It's hard enough out here for American families and single Americans. We can barely make it.
The root of the issue is in Central America and all the mismanaged governments there , I’ve been hearing about this crap since I was a kid I’m 32 now and it’s still on the news.
Socialism is to blame for that
@@levismith7444 Those countries have dictators who are ruining their countries,
Are our officers at the border WELL TRAINED AND PREPARED TO CONTROL THE "ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION"?. If so, the question is: WHY SO MANY IMMIGRANTS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HAVE ENTERED OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT HAVING THE LEGAL AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION TO DO SO?. And...INSTEAD OF BEEN DEPORTED, WHY THESE PEOPLE IS GETTING ALL KING OF BENEFITS WITHOUT BEEN LEGALLY IN THE COUNTRY?. The solution to this problem is DEPORTATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Just do what you can to make them seem like poor innocent people that are here to work hard, when they aren't.
"make them seem like poor innocent people". Are you talking about Trump or migrants?
Right. They have thousands of $$$ to get here. And they get here with iphones.
Were your grandparents evil as well? Cause the were immigrants. How patrician we have become.
When my great grandma came through Ellis Island she had to stay with a host family. Somehow, way back then, they found she had a record and had to go back to Italy. Her daughter then came here the same way and started our family. There has always been a legal way. These people here are criminals for sure.

From Chicago as well. How ironic that they are seeking asylum from gang violence, government corruption and poverty. Are they not aware of what’s going on in this city?!?! Where can we seek asylum from gang violence, government corruption, and poverty???
I agree with you. And I bet Chicago is more dangerous than Cuenca.
America's 🇺🇸 homeless veterans deserve better 🙏.
So do our homeless children. These advocates are crying out about the families and children, where is the concern for the American families and children that are now homeless due to the whole pandemic and economic raping we all got in the past few years.
Can someone tell me why should these people come here illegally and then we have to foot the bill. Also they cut in front of the line of so many people applying by the law to come here legally. Is that fair.
Can we take care of others when our own are left in limbo? Unbelievable!
I feel for them wanting a better life, because I am a human who has empathy! But I made $75,000 for years. Once I lost my job and ran depleted my saving, living off $14 an hour working 50 hours a week, I went to social services for help and basically couldn’t get much of nothing from the state. Migrants have flooded my area and they get more help than me as an American citizen.
SEND THEM HOME!!!!!
My Grandparents came from Colombia 70 years ago *legally* . They made a living in New York, had a family, all while enduring the economical hardships of that time. There's no American Dream if you don't work yourself up to it and do it properly.

I live in Southern Illinois, about 6 hours from Chicago and for the past 1-2 years we noticed an increase of migrant men around our town. Sadly these men just stare you down if you walk anywhere near them, even if are trying to get to the city hall that they just stand near at. Pretty sure they are most likely linked to the cartel.
Sounds like the Men in Southern Illinois are weak. Otherwise they would not let an illegal invader from another country stare them down.

Venezuela opened their prisons and NGOs brought them here.

I believe people should be allowed to come to America, but through the right means.
I hope to one day be able to come legally.
How does she think she is gonna work with 2 kids?
Sad to say, this world and this country is very delusional, just saying!🎉
Your taxes
Chicago is providing free childcare for 8 hours to “them” why if they don’t have jobs. Just insane waste of money.
She‘s not. Or if she does, her kid‘s daycare will be fully funded by us…
Plenty of us work with two kids what the hell? Not everyone can be like you and mooch off a man
We are beyond capacity and it’s cruel to continue accepting families we can’t help. We have to stop until we get this under control! Some how we have to stop migration.
Yeah we’re beyond capacity in Texas cities too. We’ve been dealing with this since the 80s. They’ve ruined 😡 Houston, El Paso, San Antonio, Dallas the border. My old neighbor in Houston is nothing but gangs! I know someone who has no qualifications who’s working in a job in I’m qualified for and she has it because she speaks a little Spanish. They aren’t taking jobs no one wants they are taking jobs that others want!
Gov. Abbot, Keep the buses rolling to these Democratic cities that voted for this! They haven't learned who is responsible for this mess yet!
Thats exactly what they want, youd believe theyre getting punished, but theyre really following the plan accordingly.
me and my dad tried to visit america for holidays in different occasions. I mean, we wanted to spend money there. they rejected us even we showed all the necessary documents and evidence that we didn't want to stay there to live. but then the same government that rejected us, give illegal immigrants food, shelter... really sad cause I love the USA.
How about "fight for a future" in your own country...
Russian troll
I just dislike how dependent they make themselves on the government. They were willing to travel through a supposed “hell” but complain about living anywhere outside NYC. And it bothers me a lot bc most of them came here wanting the high life, wanting a 5 star hotel with a monthly salary for no work. Before this every immigrant like Mexicans came here with nothing and asked for nothing. And it’s sad that most of them can only see their lives in NYC, and they don’t want to go any other state even tho it’s a lot better than their country.
They are just biased by Hollywood, blame the entertainment industry and the internet. I know it because I heard them speak about the American dream, the problem is this isn't the 80s anymore the US needs to be more realistic of their situation to get across the real current economic state of America, so this doesn't continue to happen. As long as people keep eating the US propaganda that it likes to promote, then it won't cease to exist, they are forced to keep the status as number 1 nation that's why they are financing the wars.
If it was women and children I can understand but most of these are like 20- 40year-old men
We owe them nothing. Glad I’m doing my part to not help. Go back, not wanted.
INVASION; an occasion when a large number of people or things come to a place in an annoying and unwanted way: an action or process that affects someone's life in an unpleasant and unwanted way: the act of entering a place by force, often in large numbers: aka. Immigration
Look at the RULES for Americans to move abroad..... ITS SO HARD.....
-You have to pay thousands of dollars, over 10,000 usd to move to socialist Denmark.... Submit to monitoring, mandatory language training, all sorts of crap....
I did it. What 'monitoring' do they have in Denmark? It's nothing like that where I live.
American needs to adopt that policy asap!
@@jamesrenaud592 They call you to mandatory meetings, where you have to sign a document, stating that you went to that meeting... I yelled at them for that one, they just stared at me.... But also, every time you go to a doctor, they scan your literal bar-code that people carry here for ID.
@@monopalle5768 sounds like something from a sci fi novel. I live in Chile. It's become more strict for immigrants since I first arrived here, but still nothing like that.
By make changes and make room they mean more money that means more tax’s. Get ready New York
What’s aggravating is that these people think they are belong but they’re not
I find it especially annoying when certain people, not all but some, come here and DEMAND free housing and DEMAND for their case workers in the US to figure stuff out for them. My buddy was a case worker in a border town helping bus people to friends or relatives across the country until their scheduled court date and he told me a story about a Costa Rican dude who was upset at long processing times (there was a lot of people and few case workers) and he goes up to my buddy and in an aggressive tone is like: "I made it all the way over here, I did what I was supposed to, so what are YOU 😠👉 going to do for ME!? 😠👈". In a calm tone my buddy reminds him: "I actually don't have to do anything for you and I can just as easily help someone else if I feel like it 🤷🏽♂️".
@@boredk47lol 😆
I love how NY gets 100k and all of a sudden “they have done their part” when border states get that amount in daily. It’s all good until you have to face the actual crisis.
There are differences between humanitarian and taking advantage! When you sending these thousands and thousands of migration every week in to the already densely populated city, without planning, funding and federal level of support. The one who live in the NYC becomes victimized! This migration has already exhausted the city public resources!! These days you get on subway, buses are packed jam anytime of the day!? And many of them are playing loud music, video and leave foods and garbage on the floor!! I'm not saying everyone...but only 50% are enough to make you daily life as hell!!
America is a in mess
@nickwilson5774 The wall's still there. Isn't it stopping them?
Watch the video
Cry to Biden
America is a very generous country, accepting all the asylum migrants, spending billions for them and also spending trillions for other countries around the world.
It's unsustainable now.
CBS is so amazing at making this a heart-warming, wholesome story when in reality, these so-called “parents” would leave their little kids in Roosevelt Hotel while they go do illegal off the books work while the adults around these kids drink and do drugs. They also leave the hotel all destroyed and dirty. It’s the culture. They grew up this way, and so they bring it here in America. The young man who says there is no future in Ecuador, and he wants to get a degree, I hope he is dead serious about ot because I see a lot of them on the streets running around with bad folks, getting high, committing misdemeanors and petty crimes and assault so much so that a school in Astoria has a drug rehab program and drug rehab councilor because of this while a school in Queens called Hillcrest has a day care center for babies of teen hispanic moms. I just shake my head knowing this is happening but I’m glad CBS has packaged this as a heartwarming, Disney-like family story.
There are dozens of Universities in Ecuador, all cheaper to attend than any in the USA. The young man could qualify as a doctor, engineer etc and come to the USA fairly easily through the proper channels - all for less money than he had to pay to his people traffickers. So he's either too stupid to think of that himself, or he's a parasite who wants a free ride at US taxpayers' expense. Either way, not the kind of immigrant Uncle Sam should want.
I been here for 38 years and it’s not easier over here so these ppl need to figure it out. They’re costing billions of dollars, my hard working taxes that are being taken out to take care of them, I’m barely taking care of myself like many others so wtf!
A deportation plan could be established to send these homeless people home.
That's disgusting how they claim to be american and act like that please don't believe that I or many TRUE Americans feel that way about immigration
Oh? Fighting for a future? You can fight by waiting in line just like EVERY OTHER PERSON in the 3rd world countries who’s doing it legally and respectfully instead of barging in stealing resources.
You brought it on yourself! Ignoring federal immigration laws. Give them tax identification and let them work.
Deport!!!!!!!!!
The future ain't what it used to be.
The United States nation has origins with English language and culture. The 13 colonies. "New York". York is a town in England. 90% of the nation speaks fluent English. If you want to be a correctly integrated citizen it's important to learn here!
Thats not US history my friend, thats sanitize WASP history..
Early US history are made up of Native American tribes, Portugese/Spanish/Italian explorers, Dutch settlers, French colonies and later waves of German immigrants..
You think Columbus and his crew was sent by the British ??? 😅😅😅
New York was discovered by Italian Giovanni da Verazzano, later settled by the Dutch first named it New Amsterdam & Florida was first explored by Spanish Juan Ponce de Leon. The British & English came much much later. Ever wonder who settled CA & the Southwest ? Wonder why so many cities there hv Spanish name. Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, Ohio sure dont sound English to me.. 😅
New mexico whatever look upthe southwest and florida
What a THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR HOMELESS VETERANS AND TAX PAYING AMERICANS WHO FELL ON HARD TIMES. YOUR TAX MONEY GOING TO SOMEONE WHO COMES ILLEGALLY AND EXPECTS YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
Cuenca, Ecuador is actually a really beautiful place and considered one of the safest cities in the country. God help us native New Yorkers
Was consider one the safest countries. Not anymore. You can look it up
@@Silly_Meg just did in Oct. 2023 province of Manabi and Esmeralda as well as the border of Colombia is far more dangerous. My entire family tree is in Guayaquil, literally the Wild West. Cuenca is safe, stop lying. There is the historical Spanish colonial architecture that is most government preserved and funded through grants. Other cities do not receive the same privilege or fiscal monetary budget. In addition, most of the communities in the Andes versus the coastal prioritize the federal taxes to them, versus coastal people, some whom are Afro-Latino in Esmeralda whom are also forced to live in sub-standard muddy conditions. Please do not enter the chat if you are not a citizen of USA AND ECUADOR. Foolishness
@@Silly_Meg Cuenca is a city, your statement is inaccurate. Ecuador as a whole is definitely falling in safety ranks but that doesn’t mean you have to walk all the way to Times Square for refuge. Fools
@@jcsoto816 rude! is this your UA-cam channel? I’ll make sure not watch it then. Otherwise anyone can enter and join in the comments. My intension was not to chat with you, citizen of USA and Ecuador. I have Ecuadorian friends who are very nice and sweet. I like the people of Ecuador except you I guess.
@@Silly_Meg duck you 🦆
It think the U.S. government should instead help Latin countries fight against the bad actors in their countries so they can live peacefully there. Help them stabilize their country of origin.
We as American citizens are literally starving, we are becoming homeless because of this,...humanitarian efforts to help people around the world are wonderful but what about us ???
I am not opposed to immigration and I came through legal immigration. We waited decade back to get the number/call in order to immigrate. This is not how you can achieve your American dream by breaking the law and just walk/run/bus ride to US borders. Follow the process and there is a hunger and problem everywhere.
Total insanity
There are thousands of homeless Americans in Maui!!! Hawaii is in need of help and here we are spending billions on people who are illegals and we all know they’re not truly asylum seekers… that are illegal immigrant taking advantage of our broken immigration laws
Free everything for these people while our homeless die on the streets. No help for them..
Bringing their problems to our country won't help anyone. Fix the problems in their countries, help them to stay there
Exactly
The problems are largely caused by us policy but you would have to read books and crap to know that
What I say is true, it's not just US policy problems. Yeah, you're the only one who reads duh@@Tomdelongpenis
Prediction: There are only so many line cook, maid, nanny, valet, landscaping and construction jobs out there. Bottom line, crime pays better. They don't even have to learn English to form gangs and create chaos. They promised their destitute families they would send money back home. Desperate people do desperate things. Dear authorities, nip this in the bud NOW while you still have the chance. Just saying. 😮
Dude with the fro should put that energy into helping our homeless and veterans instead. US taxpayers should not have to foot this bill.
We should send everyone one of them back. American Tax payers should have the choice to decide if they want to shoulder the burden.
As a (legal) refugee in the 90s, a lot of these struggles resonate with me. America changed my and my family’s lives. We came with nothing and my parents worked day in and day out without see each other and were able to buy a house in 2 years, a few years later, they started their own business. Now, my sister and I are college grads working and paying taxes to this beautiful country, our home. I volunteer and go to church as many of my fellow colleagues do. This situation makes me feel so torn because I know how life changing it is to be given an opportunity to go to school and get a job without being kidnapped or jailed due to political reasons. How nice it is to live in relative peace in your city, where the crime isn’t super high. But I know THIS is not the way to do this. We cannot let people in illegally because we aren’t screening them. They can be terrorists, or simply really bad criminals dumped by the southern border by their government because their own jails/mental hospitals are at capacity and the cost to keep them in a prison/hospital forever is too high. There are SO many bad people that should live among us and it will no doubt cause crime to rise exponentially. I would like more immigrants, but legal immigrants. No terrorists, prisoners, mental institutions patients exiled from other countries… it’s not fair to ruin the American dream for many by flooding our streets with people that are dangerous. No one wants repeat offenders hanging out at their parks, we don’t even have their fingerprints or a way to find them because they are homeless. It’s not safe for our kids and it will no doubt weaken our economy.
I think a way to fix this is an immediate stop to the border crossing and then screen everyone that had crossed. Any such terrorists and bad actors must be detained and deported immediately, and those who want to stay with good reason can go back to their own country for a period of time until we call them back for an interview. It may be years before we call them back, but that’s their only way of coming back. And those with children can have their DNA tested to make sure they’re with their biological parents and not traffickers, and then perhaps have more leniency for legitimate families with small children.
I hope our country can fix this. I mean if I can come up with this plan with a few minutes of thinking, I’m sure they can come up with something even better. But something must be done soon to ensure safely of all of current Americans 🇺🇸
Sadly, our politicians have different agendas. Safety is not their concern. The word " legal" means nothing. I agree that screening is very important.
they did this on purpose to wreck the Americian Dream
@@kimberiysmarketstrategyorder out of chaos. Yes it's a deliberate dismantling of America just beware of the new solution they are bringing in.
When you came here in the 90s it was still possible to buy a house. Sorry to throw a bucket of ice cold water on your neoliberal indoctrination phuong, but if you showed up here now as a destitute child you'd be looking at being homeless forever. How old are you now? Do you own a home? And I don't mean paying a mortgage on it, I mean do you own it outright, free and clear?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 same things going on here. You make sense 😟🇬🇧😔
The right to shelter is for people with a social security number.
AND JUST WAIT for these GAZA people 😱
This is outrageous, citizens first!!!!
What more are they capable of if they cut the line, invited themselves, stormed the gates, waltzed in unexpected, forced entry, crashed the party, however you want to call it, if they threw our laws & order in our face first thing, what more disrespect is coming? To start off breaking the law and having no moral regard doesn't make for proud future American material in my opinion. They are recruited up here for the free ride. My business colleague tells me all kinds of crazy stories, he is a NYC investigator for the dept of homeless transition and due to his proficiency in Spanish he is one of the unfortunate employees forced to serve these tyrants their paperwork and according to him they are all being approved for housing when Americans are not. The background checks and waiting years only applies to Americans, discrimination 101. An they are an arrogant, self -entitled bunch from what he described. Very demanding. This is a billion dollar industry these crook democrats are orchestrating. The Catholic charities get a cut, that's why you contact a church for help anymore you are ignored but if your a foreign "refugee" or "asylum seeker" or just foreign, they will kiss your feet & cater to your whims.
This is the problem we have in South Africa, worse most of them are evil.
It is global.
There isn’t enough housing for those of us here. Keep them in group housing or build it. Let them leave when they have found family to go live with.
We should send them home. If we aren’t going to do that, we need to make them build their own shelters, cook for themselves, and teach their own children. Put them to work, but they don’t get a penny. They get basic shelter and basic food in exchange. If they don’t like it they can leave.
Express Deportation.
I'm starting to lose empathy for migrants. I'm sorry but we got to prioritize our own first. We have unhoused Americans all over our major cities, gentrification, people losing jobs. Wtf are we doing?
