  1. As a man who’s married to a Venezuelan I feel for these people. I’ve heard the horror stories of the nation they come from and wish that all of them find salvation and survive the wrath of the Darien

  2. Freunde, ich komme nicht aus einem entwickelten Land, bin aber glücklich und zufrieden, was auch immer unsere Verfassung ist, und sie ist die größte und menschlichste. Es ist nicht kommunistisch oder kapitalistisch, sondern das humanistischste: Jai Bhim, Jai Hind

  3. Some people are fleeing from persecution, but a vast majority of these people are not fleeing from persecution of their own governments, or from anyone else!

    The huge damages being caused through the migrant paths and the waste and pollution these people are leaving scattered across a provenance of what was once a pristine vast wilderness will take decades to repair and recover from the devastation that's been caused if it ever does.

  4. If the USA and Europe stop interfering in third world countries and let them solve their problems themselves, there will be no migration issue in the world but the politicians and elites are not interested in a simpler solution rather they would deploy hundreds of soldiers and vehicles to stop immigrants.

  5. You are HIDING the corrupt organizations paying for this migration. These people are completely out of money and resources by the time they cross the gap. Yet they go on. Who pays? Who feeds them when they run out of food? Who shelters them? Stop hiding the corruption.

  6. I think that US does not know what these people go through 😮, because if US knows this kind of things US never let such things happen 😮 what a shame what a shame…

  7. They don’t even know they’re gonna go to America and help turn it into a dictatorship by voting for the guy that invited them to skew the numbers in the democrats favor forever. America will turn into the same thing they are fleeing..

  8. Looks like everyone made money and the usa didn't at all. Now they have the burden of supporting all those people, work and send the money out of the country. What a great president they have to put these people in danger meanwhile many criminals are in those groups. Not to mention, the pirates in the gap waiting for them to get robbed!
    Rob each other. And the one guy complaining. Maybe if he didn't go illegally , maybe the red carpet will be used.
