95% male of course France only wants to show the three females they can find. Just cuz you poor doesn't mean you have Asylum rights.

A Cold Welcome: When a relative I barely know arrives at my home with suitcases, expects to stay for months and be treated as a guest.

Uhh, why do these "REFUGEES" have $800 smart phones?

Not an encompassing view of the migrants. Rather it was a targeted view. How did the interviewer decide to only interview three women when in one of the views there were plenty of men to interview? These are the people who together would force change in their home country. If they leave their home country, the needed change will not be required.

Only ONE day walking all day. I thought so.

[bentleyvazquez]

I walk every freaking day to work, not

We are dealing with a enemy from within our own country. It’s difficult when a side will not even engage in conversation much less debate. When you result to calling someone who disagrees with you, a Nazi. You have already been mentally defeated.

[athorpe]

Well Mexico invited you in with open arms.

They walked real fast too. For over a month, they've averaged over 75 miles per day. Quite a feat for a woman carrying an infant. Also, what nice jackets and new sweatshirts they are wearing. Maybe the original funding source of the buses, food, and other support can reimburse Tijuana for their losses and take these people back home where they belong.

It has to start somewhere.. so be it with this first of my waves of illegals coming over only to find troops, barbwire and the president well wishes for a safe and speedy ride back to their country and our of ours.🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

[jasongerrard]

I will give any migrant a 100 dollars for there iPhone, that should pay for a ticket home

[amordelbueno]

You want rights fight for them in your country before we get more illegals we should protect our communities and protect our immigrants that are in this country Trump you want hands you got a lot of them in the country legalizes them and you have workers
