I'm only shocked that msnbc is using the term 'illegal' now.

[syedhaider]

We have military bases all over the world to protect our national interests but safe and secured borders are not in the interest of our country

[AuAu]

We need a president who puts Americans first.

[CatholicForever]

You know it is bad when the liberal media are talking about it.

[trippingandroid]

A) they're not migrants or refugees or tourists. Stop with the euphemisms. They're illegal immigrants. B) this is 100% on every Democrat in general and Obama and Biden in particular.

More people more problems and everything cost more money. And we wonder why it's impossible to find housing in this country. This adds 2, 500, 000 people to the population every year. What's even sadder is that the government seems to prioritize illegal immigrants over their own citizens.

This is outrageous what is going on at our southern border....we should put our military on the whole border with orders to keep everyone out at all cost..this should be done immediately

It's almost like when you invite people to come over and tell all their friends they'll receive free food, clothing, housing, care and education for the whole family, they're going to take advantage of it.

Just imagine how much expensive things are gonna get because of liberal policies.

USCIS need to refund money to legal immigrants.

[RichManhattanite]

I cannot believe our tax dollars go to pay for this

[donnapevey]

Why won't they just stop this??!!! Just close the border. It's not that complicated.

[DickyNuts]

our government is taking a giant dump on all of us

[tommyeschung]

We need to jail whoever is organizing these people to be sent this is not charity

[stephanblack]

They will work under the table, not pay tax and claim welfare at the same time.

[antonymu]

it is unfair for legal immigrants to pay a lot of money for USCIS services.

[Bwh-rmpy]

This is the first crisis that I feel like the US can’t win, we are doomed.

[Pilotpaulie]

Court dates for asylum is 8-10 years now. Lol

[hught]

Welcome Migrants!! Buses to NY, Chicago, Washington DC this way!!

[zoso]

Anyone that voted for Biden voted specifically for this.
