I love how the government creates a problem, then calls it a crisis

[wondereagle]

This is insane. Protect the bloody border!!

[edwarddeas]

Direct that anger toward your officials that are allowing this to happen.

[asthecrowflies]

Since when do illegal migrants supposedly escaping persecution have their stuff in roll-along suitcases, like they just got off a plane? Every person who gets off that bus is a taxpayer burden for who knows how long.

i live just outside of los angeles. so i totally understand the outrage. it's disgusting, destroying communities with low skilled, unvetted illegals just to change the voting demographics.

[simonsimon]

They are illegal immigrants not asylum seeker.

[Feedingcrowsmedia]

The arrogance and entitlement they come here with is sickening!!!
American first!!

[jradbad]

If we did this in Texas where this has been a huge issue New Yorkers would say how disgusting we are 😂

[hed]

They look so "persecuted"- sporty new clothes, cell phones, spiffy rolling luggage, quite well or over fed.

[neverendingmods]

Getting off the bus with cell phones and luggage. Complete BS!

[LikeKools]

They didn’t ‘lash out against children’ they simply pointed out that there are no children present. They’re mainly adult males. Everyone sees this

[GohAhweh]

Quit calling these people asylum seekers.

[andys]

*ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!* NOT 'Asulym seekers'...

[secondarycontainment]

There are mostly able bodies adult males there - they decided to give up on their country not fight for it. But we are supposed to believe they will for the USA? Why?

[tmgha]

If the problem can only be solved by Washington SEND THEM TO THE WHITE HOUSE

[waytospergtherebro]

I'm just not going to feel sorry for anyone who walks around staring at a thousand dollar telephone, refugee or otherwise.

[ashleycoburn]

Their safety ??? We don’t even know these people

[jajaxx]

Send them home. There are too many homeless Americans that need the assistance first.

[aivlys]

Help our disabled ones first. I have 2 autistic grandkids born here that are not getting even food stamps.
This government is insane

[tbonilla]

More Americans need to stand up to this invasion. I applaud these people.
