  1. As a son of a Guatemalan immigrant who's now an American citizen. I feel for these people as these are my people but I live in Los Angeles and homelessness has plagued this city so bad that it looks like a scene from a movie. It's so bad and luckily my family is okay but i know of other people who are fighting to keep their homes, jobs, and lives. I don't know, I think we need to help out the American people first

  2. This is been going on for years this is been going on for years the US has been supporting them so many people out of work children malnutrition children knowing the way they're going to be raised why have children I'm in this country senior citizen and I can't even get a covid shot and we're supporting them

  3. When I think about it more is it really a good thing to allow others in when we have people here already suffering like their in a 3rd world country. Do we really want their kids to take future jobs from our own kids? I think not send them back and let there government deal with their problems, we already have our own

  4. I understand why people would move for jobs but why rare there not jobs to be created in their own town. I saw a school, I saw block buildings, pavement. Why do their own communities not surport an economy. Rural US towns in western days were nearly isolated economies that provided jobs to locals to produce crops, raise cattle,local sawmill produced lumber. People lived by the food and products produced locally, why is that beyond these communities in South America.
