My head just blew off . . . how in God's holy name do we have money for immigrants when we have so many homeless on our streets? Don't get me up, let me just lay here a minute.

I understand the dangers in Haiti. I am concerned about their journey here and the lack of room in America!

What I'd like to know is why are there so many children????

It makes no sense to me. If you are poor, why bring children into the world that you cannot support????

What am I missing??

Imagine if they all got together and fought for their country 🤔 instead of breaking into somebody else's with 100 kids on their hip

All the people that voted for Joe Biden should be held accountable this man sit there and let all the Mexicans in but he won’t let them Haitian people in why is it because they’re black?

Here in the Philippines, people will not force themselves for a greener pastures if it's dangerous. Most of them rather go back to their provinces and plant sweet potatoes, corn, cassava, potatoes, vegetables 🥒🍆 and fruits 🍓🍑 to survive. They raise animals too and fish 🐟 🐠 to live. And built only a tiny house 🏠🏡. Most people who goes to USA, want to be successful, they think. That is one way of them to become rich.

We need 🤴 Trump back to put a stop to this BS

[schamarasworld]

I would’ve stayed home these people literally risking they lives and kids lives just to get treated worse

BE GRATEFUL YOU WERE BORN ON THE LUCKY SIDE OF THE WORLD

[Iamvava]

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO ESCAPE SOMEONE SOMETHING SO BAD THAT YOU WERE WILLING TO PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE🥺

The thing is… if they do make it to America where do they go and how?

[masonkanterbury]

We really need to hold people responsible for advertising America in other countries as a land with streets paved with gold. I know immigrants who miss their homeland and curse the ads and commercials they saw touting America as a place where you can get rich quick. If you work hard in your own country, you can do better. And not get shot.

Their choice. They could go anywhere but they know this country is weak.

[Craigdna]

Why did we not take all of those migrants from Haiti, and put them to work in those California docks unloading crates and give them pay for it? Why did we not use them to help clean up after the hurricanes? Why did we not use them to help with the fires across the Western US? Where is the insight of our Federal government?

[margaritacharry]

This Haitians don't come from Haiti they come from Chile and Brazil they already had asylum in this countries USA doesn't have to deal with this problem many of them had live in this countries for 7 years

Mexico is the 11th richest country in the world…just stay there. Tacos are delicious

[gabeobrien]

They could just stay home rather than take the "super duper totally difficult" trek to America. Stop coming here illegally, and just follow our laws, free loaders.

[tobysanchez]

Went are you going to send central Americans back and their bs claims of asylum

[baboushko]

now americans understand europeans ... maybe you will stop judging

overwhelmed with 10k haitans

Haiti people running from Haiti doesn't fix the problem. Stop the violence In your home. Show love to each other and help each other. Haitian people in foreign countries; help your country, and invest in your home. Other Caribbean country do it. Bless your home and stop cursing it.
