There are no affordable homes for American citizens, but these people want homes?

[isege-wobm]

So they cross border illegally and complaining there are cultural and language barriers 🙄

[TheMandellaEffectbruh]

Why migrants dressed better than the local homeless?

[apotebill]

As an African I can see through that lady pulling that fake LGBT card.

[TickTock-joto]

"I want to move to America and make more money" isn't a qualifying reason for asylum.

[cicicorleo]

They coach most to say their gay. Everyone knows that

And meanwhile I can’t get into Canada without an enhanced drivers license. My country has become a friggin’ clown show.

[xvn]

I don't want to pay taxes anymore. 🤔

[notafortnitegamer]

crazy how they expect to be put in a home but are okay with a vet being homeless

[derricklangford]

Is she really LGBT or is she just trying to cut too the front of the line 😅

[OnanX]

I couldn't help but notice the LGBTQIA+ plug, as if that actually had anything to do with her breaking into America.

[charblank]

I have worked for 50 years and now on Social Security. I paid into SS and still have to pay taxes, that will never end, but when does free everything stop for all these immigrants??

[nextupafrica]

These are purely economic migrants. No if and buts. But, they all know you gotta come up with a story that sells.

[mikewest]

They're a French Colony, why not go to France?

[Icelord]

This is insane none of this is our problem, this is America we don't have to take every countries unwanted besides Harlem is ours it's not fair we already had no money jobs or housing before this

[gideo]

It's a slap in the face of those who came here legally, waited 10 to 20 years just to get off the plane. All for these asylum fraudsters to skip the line and get resources to boot.🤬

[cleo]

Asylum seekers my azz as they fly across 20 countries to get here and have the money and means does not sound like asylum to me!!

[muskegontribune]

They been told to use the LGBT angle, they probably lying

[larry]

[kmc]
