Migrants rally at City Hall for better quality of life

You came here illegally you expect American people to get what they work so hard for we have homeless people veterans can't even get help Americans come first

[@mysteriousjz]

Asylum seeking is a legal process. You are paying regardless they were here or not. Other longtime immigrants are also taxpayers pumping billions in economy and taxes, and can not categorically get anything back. Your homeless veterans can visit VA.gov for plethora of resources available to them. Now that I clarified to you, can you, in your next comment, show gratitude to the country what she has afforded you?

[@IAbulldogs]

How about all the elderly people working at Walmart and other places because they don't have much but lots of needs. It is sad to see where this country is going under this administration.

[@mysteriousjz]

It's coming from other undoc immigrants taxpayers. They also pay for the freebies for you which they never qualify.

[@anonomous7817]

These videos are prejudicial in nature. Many are showing only Haitians and Agricians when in reality the majority of illegal invaders who also protest are the millions of Latinos Hispanics that receive preferential treatment like free unearned hand outs such as shelter cash cards food schooling clothing transportation lawyers etc. While this Country ignores it's own people problems such as it's own American Citizens the homeless and veterans. This is dispicable because no other Country does this putting outsiders before their own people. 😣
