    I’m blown away at how they ALL have new clothes and luggage equal to each other. Like they visited wardrobe before filming.
  • @randygarcia5796
    This is insanity!! I work 7 days a week and getting taxed for this. My mother and father came here legally in the 70’s.
  • @Mr--_--M
    I don’t care what side of the political spectrum you’re on, this is insane and unsustainable
  • @nuqi
    This situation is outrageous and needs immediate attention. The lack of accountability and enforcement is concerning.
  • @Krisha158
    This is insane!!!!! It takes nearly an hour to get through the dang airport but they can just stroll through here like we a dang gas station. This is ridiculous
  • @LongHoang-xq6fx
    This is insane and unbelieveable. They spent tens of thousands to get here as asylum seekers 😮
  • @polyento3535
    What pisses me off is that we petitioned our brother to come to the US and he's been waiting for 20 years then. Then you see this.
  • @nancyseery2213
    #1 they are not migrants, they are illegal immigrants. #2 you told the number of people turned away but you failed to mention how many have crossed illegally and are still here. #3 You also failed to list WHY they are here. WHY????? fjb
  • @Maltlicky50
    It's very simple, the elites in our country want a new supply of cheap, domestic labor. The government also wants migrants desperate enough to serve in the U.S military, as most Americans have become enlightened about the pointless, Neverending "oil" wars.
  • @sammyp9514
    My husband is Brazilian and we have paid thousands to go through the process legally. And it’s taking forever. The fact these people are just walking in is a huge slap in the face.
  • @GingerDaddy444
    Wow they disarmed the man who has 3000 migrants coming to his property weekly smh. I’d be scared for my life if I was him
  • @vice.nor.virtue
    It does seem a bit conspiritorial that this hole in the fence exists. I mean come on, that entrance ccould be fixed with $200 bucks and 2 hours. It really seems there's a real reason the hole hasn't been blocked.
  • @alec8323
    The police took his gun for firing a warning shot on his own land after being surrounded by men not even of this country. Let that sink in.
  • @IllIIllllIlIlIll
    My family spent nearly 25 years and endless amount of money and time getting our USA paperwork legally. I guess we're the dumb ones for following the law.
  • @JP-bc7vj
    And you want four more years of this ?

    As a Chinese, I can tell you that there are mainly two reasons now. The first is economic reasons. They owe a high amount of loans in China, and due to the current economic downturn, it is difficult to repay them. Therefore, they sold all their assets in China and fled. The other part of the population is due to political reasons. They find that China is slowly moving towards authoritarianism and feel that China will become less and less free like North Korea.
