Wanting a “better future” is not a valid reason for asylum.

“No country has the right to tell another how to govern itself.” Fair enough, can you at least govern well enough to where your people don’t walk a thousand miles to get out of your country and into this one because your countries are so poorly governed?

US government is too concerned about Ukraine's borders to have time to focus on its own borders.

They’re saying things like: “this was our ancestors land and we’re taking it back”, “we deserve it and we’re coming whether you like it or not”.
We have worked hard and paid taxes our entire lives. We have fought in wars to protect this country. WE built America.

Our country’s hard-working people are struggling, but we pay our taxes.
These immigrants believe they “deserve” to take the money we worked for, and to live in rent-free housing WE built.
Their sense of entitlement is beyond disrespectful.
They claim their country is “oppressive” and have the determination to gather in the thousands; marching through ‘jungles’ and ‘dangerous towns’, yet 10k-70k can’t protest ‘injustice’ and fight against their own government.
This has nothing to do with ‘poor treatment’ in their country. They are coming here for free money.

Can we secure our borders instead of worrying about others borders for a little bit? Can we also scale back on giving other countries money since many Americans are having to choose between a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk?

USA should help these poor peoples . They have lot's of resources... Giving some to these desperate people's nothing make any much difference.

I live in Florida, and it's very depressing to know that all of these extremely poor people are headed our way. They need to stop having children, and the crisis will end.

[ministerjohnson]

They will work and use that money that we invested to hire coyotes to bring them to US.

The US cannot accommodate every person in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti who wants to move here. Anyone who can count should be able to determine this. Indeed, in the US there is currently a serious nation-wide shortage of moderately-priced residential housing; if we open the floodgates, where would these people live? How will they obtain food and water? Think it through.

These people think they will have opportunities in the United States but in reality this country is falling apart this will cause anger and bitterness in this country

[shortylow]

Hopefully there will be tropical storms/hurricanes will target them
