Millions of Venezuelans are fleeing the country and heading to the U.S. to escape political unrest and a rise in gang violence. The Biden administration announced a temporary protection status for Venezuelans to be able to work in the U.S.

#Venezuela #Border #Migrants
Land mines, razor wire and 50 cal machine guns. Stop them from invading our country.
Tone deaf nbc wont ever get it because they are part of the problem but morons still nod their head and agree with them .
if youre reading this comment and you voted for biden i just want you to know youre a bad person
Political persecution you say? Good thing that doesnt happen here 🤣
They need to do more research, bidens America is more violent than anytime i can recall. I was born in 1958, so I know…. this isn’t America anymore ‼️😭💔🤯
How about the violence they will face from the citizens of America.
Violence is every where. One may run 🏃♂️ but can’t hide. Teach one to grow and one may eat for life. But giving one to eat, it is full just for one day. But if those flood of migraines can get into America, it’s just the right time. No worry of working, US government might have thausand of billions of dollars unused or beside helping Ukraine war,that left from those who died of Covid-19 😅 break through into America fast Amicos 😂
If you say that Venezuela is America’s back yard then you should say that Venezuelans are Americans.
These people will most definitely be safe here.Due to the fact that they are anti- black. While on the other hand. Violence is intentionally perpetrated everyday, upon the descendants of the enslaved.
you actually get it they are here to out populate and compete against and remove you
The answer isn’t: bring struggling people to the U.S. That doesn’t fix the problem.
Make their country as free and as successful as the U.S. That is the solution.
Democrats are destroying America with this open door policy of theirs!
LIES LIES LIES LIES. WE HAVE TONS OF GANGS HERE. WHOS GONNA SAVE YOU FROM THEM!
Millions of violent desperate illegals who are bringing their culture and problems with them 😂😂😂
Sweet, more “asylum seekers” coming to take our money.
Wow coming to white European peoples country, west is the best. 😂
This isn’t Americas problem. Turn them around and send them back!
Stop voting for democrats!
Welcome to the United States of Venezuela
The Haitians were flown back to Haiti which is 30x smaller, facing the same things as the Venezuelans. I wonder whats the difference?
I think we all know the answer to that one.
They show the Mayor saying that we must welcome them which he did and we did. But WELL BEFORE THIS VIDEO WAS MADE, that same mayor has reversed and pointed out that his city simply can’t afford to absorb so many people so quickly. Little omission there by the “news” service.
He’s a typical political HYPOCRATE!!!!
No one is illegal on a stolen land
Just think about your comment some more to see just how absurd it really is.
We barely got jobs for Americans. We already got plenty of homeless Americans and plenty of Americans living in poverty. The Biden administration will not win in 2024. I understand trump agenda now. Trump for 2024.
GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!!!
NBCs reporting is not good here. That vast majority who cross the border illegally without seeking asylum are caught and sent back south. Stories like this make the problem appear far worse than it is. It undermines the Biden administration and makes us vulnerable to a Trump return. It’s almost as if the US news media wants Trump to return just so they can get a ratings boost. Pay no mind the death and suffering that Trump would case should he become president again.
The U.S. isn’t the only country they can flee to.
It’s simple: they are fleeing for US welfare and better jobs, all at Americans’ expense. But Americans have no choice, as they must keep their mouths shut if their skin color is any shade lighter than the migrant in question. Defecrats must continue to do the opposite of what they perceive Trump wanted to do, regardless of the negative impact on the country and its citizens.
They need to stay and fight for change in their country. Not come to the US
The majority are military age men that should be fighting in their own country
The Vatican Jesuits must be celebrating…their agenda at work as Roman Catholic storm America!!! God help America! 🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
Brazilians too
welcome fellow migrants i have tents and food to give you
Work? They aren’t going to work. They are going to get automatic handouts. Free housing, money, healthcare and schooling. From US Taxpayers and it’s a rotten deal. 👎🏻🦨
Joe is a total disaster. He opened the borders, but created such awful conditions in our own country, these people will be sleeping on the streets and crime will go through the roof. 2024 can’t get here fast enough. This guy has to be thrown out.
Dems and reps FAILS!!!!?
oh good violent people are coming…. estimated by th time Biden gets thrown out of office to be 8 million. criminals
Lol. Continued imperialist propaganda.
We running out of space for everybody
Rom. 10.13. Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, Jesus I’d Lord, tomorrow is not promised, call on him today.
They need to stay and fight for freedom. We did it against far greater odds, and don’t want these people ruining our home like they ruined theirs. I pray we won’t need to do what is necessary…
Biden stop and think send them back wherever
Millions ???? That’s an army. Why don’t they unite and fight for their country? SMH
@Mr. Red I agree but if they’re flooding the US, US citizens one day will also resort to which they should to invaders.Tis our duty to out ancestors as well.
@Mikel Hendrickson I agree which is all the more reason for our government uphold the laws currently on the books and even more reason for them to stay and begin demanding changes in their homeland.
I’ve asked that same question of senator Schumer, and McCarthy, but guess what “no answer”. Americans are getting shafted by our own government.
@Bob Plummer There has always been an underlying reason why both parties continue to leave the border open like this. There may be several reasons. I have my thoughts. It is sinister what they are doing unfortunately for them it will backfire. In an effort to persevere what they deem as a social structure it will not turn out how they want. These people are here for the free benefits and bring the good and bad of their culture with them. In leaving the border open they are giving it to those who will ultimately overwhelm and overpower them in addition to those they want overwhelmed and overpowered by the immigrants. Ray Charles can see this coming and he’s blind and dead.
@Mr. Red You are correct. White genocide is not merely a conspiracy theory UN law points this out as well
No they are fleeing socialist polices and being imported in purposefully and given legal status so they can vote for US socialist in the next election….500,000 at once can sway multiple swing states at once. This is absolute BS
At this point we should all just refuse to pay taxes…its illegal to fund criminal activity anyway
The Federal government prints money. They can take it anyway.
Go ahead😂 see what the IRS can do.
What made Venezuela that way? Maybe… VENEZUELANS. im sure theyll change america for the better…
Whatever it take to destabilize this country.
MAY DAY !! MAY DAY!! TEXAS BOARDER HAS BEEN OVER RUNNED !!! TURN THE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN!!! MAY DAY!! MAY DAY!! A DOMESTIC TERRORISM ATTACK!! BROKEN ARROW!!!
This isn’t going to end well . The alarm bells have been going off for a long time not enough resources to support these folks it will eventually change the everyday American way of life for the worst. But the Democratic Party will have life long voter base Stay in power at all cost
Why do they keep letting people come here ? It’s gonna get too crowded & that means more of the tax payers money will be spent . Don’t get me wrong, i do care & i don’t want them to live the way they were living, but it might not be good for america .
Deport them ALL
WHY do we have to baby sit and support all these 3rd world countries that can’t get past heir own incompetence? It needs to STOP!!!
I have a weird feeling they are arriving into pre CW2
Second Cold War?
@stylac civil
What everyone fail to realize is that this is bible prophecy
They are no refugees but illegals !!! This is why Biden needs to be impeached… his lack of care for America!! But keeps giving $$$_ to Ukraine to cover for his son Hunter miss used of $$$$ from Barista!! That is what Zilinsky is using over Biden head!! 👿👇🏼🤔🤮🧟👇🏼
So this country has to absorb another country? In addition to large percents of other countries?
I’m not sure I get the math.
Send every one of them to Biden’s home town in Delaware. We know they love communists since they keep voting for Biden.
Violence is not listed as a reason for asylum , persecution is.
Snores venesolanos ya degen de mendigar ser humillados buelvan asu Pais en masa y saken ese presidente k es El culpable de todo lo k estan pasando. Son millones es mejor morir en pie de guerra Para conseguir un futuro Para sus familiares k morir por tratar de imigrar morir Antes k esclavos vivir. Es El lema
Too cowardly to stand and fight?
No problem……we will send them all to NYC. They will fit right in.
Maybe if they stopped being violent twords each other they wouldn’t be fleeing. Now all thoes military age men will have brought all their violence here to the USA. No education, no skills, no literacy, no money. What are they going to do to afford life in the USA on minimum wage or under the table work, criminal gangs, illegal drug trade, home robbery’s, etc…
To escape violence? So there is no violence in America? Hahahahaha o.k.
The women they asked said it plain, they are leaving for work and money. While there is violence and gangs that was not the first thing she said, nor is it their biggest concern despite this media piece making it seem as if they’re fleeing civil unrest. The US is allowing them in to depress wages and remove US worker leverage.
You democrats voted for this
Why don’t they go to Brazil why don’t they go to Argentina anywhere but here
These ilkegal aliiens are in for a RUDE AWAKENING everything they are running away from in their countries it us already here in the USA..
Shame on all of those countries for not keeping their people in their own countries.. And SHAME on those people fir not fighting to make their countries better. Do not come to our country the USA to try to change our country for the one you left…DO NOT DO IT!!!
Don’t come to America! We are headed down the same road and all of this illegal immigration is aiding that goal!
They need to stand up and fight for their freedom. Just like many generations of Americans have. Including myself. Now we get all of some other countries cowards.
This is all brought to you by democrat voters👹
Meanwhile our president enriches the regime that kills their own by buying what we already have . Oil
america who caused this
Fleeing violence and crime…and bringing it right to the US and Byedunce’s wide open border.
How MANY have been SENT by Venezuela GOVERNMENT???🤔
You don’t help blind people by removing your eyes.
Has the Biden administration told you that among the Venezuelan immigrants that it welcomes come VERY DANGEROUS INTERCONTINENTAL CRIMINAL INFILTRATORS? Has the Biden administration already told you what the main objective of its actions is? Do not go to believe that Biden is SO GOOD that he wants to help Humanity, that physically and mentally sick man the last thing he wants is to help anyone, he is a TRAITOR TO THE COUNTRY, HE IS A CRIMINAL MANAGED BY HIGH AND DARK POLITICAL SPHERES with him SOLE PURPOSE TO DESTROY NOT ONLY THE UNITED STATES BUT TO ENSLAVE THE ENTIRE AMERICAN CONTINENT, they have already achieved the destruction of VENEZUELA, NICARAGUA, CUBA, and they are doing everything possible for the other Latin American countries including the UNITED STATES, that,,,,, This is what the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION does not tell you,
I guess it’s time to replace English with Spanish as official language in America
Go to China
Great, more people who despise America and Americans coming into America. Cant wait. I remember being in school and kids would have little “Mexico is #1” pins on their backpacks. If Mexico is so great, why are you here?
what a dump
There is a War going on in 😊 the Ukraine…. those people are ALL NOT running away….
WHY don’t these immigrants stay and fight for what they want……Send them back…….
Lift the sanctions or else be ready for migrant crisis. US created this mess for oil.
No they’re not. They like 99% of all others are economic migrants and we just keep letting them in.
Keep it up democrats & vote blue no matter who! Yes to more migrants & sanctuary cities! 7 million have come across our open borders already thanks to patriotic Joe Biden’s administration 🇺🇸
Step 1: Keep the border open
Step 2: Give them jobs and housing
Step 3: Register them as voters
Step 4: Move them to Red states
Step 5: Flood the voting 💙
I am soooooo sorry, but us here in America are struggling to buy food too, we can only due so much, but enough is enough, we cannot afford this.
So Biden brings them here what a terrible thing to do
Protected status huh for them not Americans 🦠👹
Great, here come more future Latino Republicans and Conservatives. You think because Democrats are just letting them in they will vote blue. Once they see how far left Democrats have gone they will start voting 🟥. Nothing better than Ultra Capitalist loving freeloaders.
Meanwhile…. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE TRYING TO ESCAPE, VIOLENCE.
USA is becoming a third world country 🤣
Yeah they come to work, but sadly they don’t want any kind of job only good jobs, I just met some of them. Don’t want construction work of yard work 🙄
Thank god Americans pay their taxes.
No one is suspicious about why the focus is on Venezuelans? Why grant only the Venezuelans work authorizations over everyone else? The U.S has a motive.
I’m a 70 year old American, I’m afraid 9f parts of my own government, afraid of gangs in my city streets, and on a low fixed income fund it hard month to month. Can I seek protective status, receive free housing, food, medical, and anything else these illegals or receiving. We already send aide to Venezuela, why don’t the people take advantage of that in their own country. Oh that’s right we send aide to what we consider an illegitimate government. The USA cannot save the world, but we can save our own, if the government thought to do so!!
It’s time our government thought of the USA citizens!!
It’s really unfortunate that actual asylum seekers will get caught in the quagmire of the invasion happening in the US from economic illegal aliens from every corner of the Earth flooding our borders. Another perfect example of why the vetting process must start while they wait at the border for their turn. Enforce the existing laws & patrol our borders for the liberty of all or asylum seekers will get lost in the shuffle.. an open border protects nobody!
Send them back
I lived in Colombia for six years, and I have lived in hostels with Venezuelan migrants in San Francisco and Mexico City—and I can tell you that they tend to be ill-mannered, aggressive, poorly educated and disrespectful to a person. Their messes at the hotels in NYC are confirmation of this. Not the most desirable immigrant group.
*Thanks to US blunders in foreign policy, Venezuela is a hotbed of Iranian, Russian, and Chinese subversive activities from which the Marxist Maduro regime benefits and is kept afloat. Result? This. Same as Cuba in the 70’s and 80’s.*
A country is it’s people. You transplant all the people from crap countries intio a good country and expect the good country not to feel the affects of this sudden infusion of a huge number of people from crap countries?
So Americans dont struggle? Mexicans dont struggle? Canadians dont struggle? Chavez would be happy . There are people here in the US their whole life as immigrants trying to get legalized and cant get diddley squat. What is wrong with this country?
Oakland and San Francisco is more dangerous than Venezuela. Why not fix this problem first?
