In the case of Venezuela, the population supported and brought into power the governments of Hugo Chávez and Maduro. These administrations brought about the crisis by bad government. I speak as a citizen and resident of México where we definitely have our own problems with poverty.
The guy is openly saying that he’s an economic migrant (and therefore here illegally), and demanding a “work permit” which presupposes a claim of political asylum. This is just insane.
The worst part is he doesn't even really want to work. If he did, he would learn at least some English with all the free time he has (like what do those clowns DO all day?) These so-called "migrants" are revolting.
Its definitely essy to spend time out in the shit when you get paid to do it, have a family and warm home to go back to when youve had enough for the day.
She forgot to mention how many Illegals She put up , and willing to pay for their upkeep . Her Parents fled their Own Country for a better life in America , and this Women looks like She wants to make New York look like the Country Her Parents fled from .
Unbelievable. The sense of entitlement from people who have contributed nothing is amazing. They should be grateful for anything they get and don't have to pay for.

Stop saying that they were evicted. Eviction is what happens to someone who is renting a place to live. These people are not renting, they are living there for absolutely free. And as such, they have absolutely no right to demand to stay there. And the fact that we are even arguing about this is outrageous.
My sympathies lie with those native New Yorkers who are homeless and not given the same services. We need to spend billions on our own citizens first. As the old adage states "charity begins at home." His needs should not have priority over NYC residents!
But why not spend billions on both simultaneously because they're both human beings deserving of basic rights such as housing? Like, why make it worse for them instead of making it better for all?
Welcome to the American life! Even American citizens are being laid off, not able to find stable jobs, and unable to even afford housing or food. We are all going through hard times and just because you walked through a jungle doesn’t mean you should get better treatment than American citizens who are homeless & starving. These migrants feel they are so entitled to many things we Americans don’t even get.
These people feel like royalties…. How about a little bit of humbleness to begin with and while we are at it, how about a little bit of gratitude too kid? All we hear from these guys is I want this and I want that and we don’t like this and we don’t like here and … blah , blah, blah… …
I truly feel bad for New York... I know it was the hub for immigration in the past, but DEAR GOD.. the entitlement and delusions of grandeur are so apparent, it's sickening...
The immigrant men that are protesting and refusing to go to the shelter should be taken back to the border and escorted across it. Also, NO IMMIGRANT should be staying at a 5star hotel when America has homeless people sleeping in the cold. The entitlement of these people is DISTURBING. They should've protested and fought for their rights in their OWN COUNTRIES!!!!!
@LadyWarrior almost all of the migrants are mostly men of fighting age. Taking in women and children is different than taking in strong healthy men that are fully capable of supporting themselves. The children need their mother's to watch them, most of the men abandoned their children and have no children to watch.
@LadyWarrior If you are truly against feminism then you need to stop doing the things that feminism fought for, like driving and working and voting and owning a bank account and opening up a business. Please educate yourself about feminism because you look silly dissing a movement that actually helped you and your female family members not be a second-class citizen in America.
Immigrates should have to act in a respectful manner. You're a guest in my house. I am disgusted that they're throwing food away and trashing hotels. We have tons of homeless people who would love to stay there.
As a hispanic I feel so embarrassed about this people. Came here 33 years ago I've work so hard paid taxes. But this people make me feel disgusted. They think things should all be free. Why cant they go to another country.
What even more disturbing how many Venezuelans come here and have ideal way of thinking that socialism is ideal way of life all country should be based on socialist idealoligy
@@ej3943 According to the international treaty on refugees, if you're an actual REFUGEE - and not an economic migrant - you're supposed to stop in the first safe country, not go cherrypicking across 7 countries, looking for the one with the most freebies...... if you're an economic migrant, you have get in line with the rest of the LEGAL applicants and wait for as long ss it takes. That is the law. So if you're a Venezuelan refugee, you're supposed to stop in either Colombia, Brazil or Guyana and go no further, not cross through Colombia then Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Mexico to reach the US.
"We want a better future?" So does every U.S. citizen, veteran, and legal immigrant who has or is contributing to the welfare of this country. Our homeless citizens should be offered warm accommodations and food as you all are. Instead, they are sleeping in the subways, parks, streets, and under bridges. So for him and others to have the audacity to demand humane treatment when their own countries don't even care leaves me shaking my head.
Exactly how dare this illegals demand this country's help when they entered it illegally they need to shut up n go back home n or find a way to support themselves, enough already enough,
There are plenty of Americans who don’t know where their next meal is coming from and yet in this case they are rejecting and throwing away perfectly good food 😮
They all need to be sent back home, the sheer gall. Then, those with kids get put on housing list AHEAD of American citizens, who get pushed further and further down the list! This is the REAL Humane Emergency!!
We all want a better future. The U.S. has to take care of it's own citizens before taking on thousands of immigrants whose own country should be responsible for their welfare. For asylum seekers who came with nothing, they shouldn't complain about any accomodations afforded them. We have thousands of our own poor who need help. To be honest immigration should be limited until we fix our own problems.
and that's the problem. You've been sold a lie that's been framed as if we couldn't easily accommodate all people who are languishing in poverty within US. This is nationalist talking points. We can care for all our people and those who come here to become our people. We just have to reform the power structure and frankly just redistribute the wealth from greedy corporations, board of directors, and lobbyists. We can't accommodate their level of greed.
Well Maduro is a dictator in Venezuela so that's why they want to leave. Maduro has made the country impoverished.Its an oil rich country yet that resourse is not being handled well.
@@winning3329 this is not to justify them because they already have fought against the dictatorship for years, thousands of them dead because of it (try searching those videos, they are very cruel); however, that doesn't make them entitled to enter a country and expect to be treated like a small child that the government has to take care of them. Some of them go because all they know is that government will cover all your expenses as long as you let corruption happen and be part of it. Really sad.
So let me get this straight. You traveled through the jungle and several other countries but have a hard time relocating to Brooklyn because it's not like the hotel you were staying at. That's crazy.
Just wondering if the young lady also feeds and helps local homeless people, or if it’s just the migrants? We have the same issue here in the UK. They are literally being put up in four star hotels and they still complain about the food, whilst our own homeless get little if any help at all. Makes me so angry!
The title says it all. "We want a better future". These are NOT asylum seekers. Deport him and those like him and we'd have the resources to house true asylum seekers and process their paperwork in a timely manner.
@Russo Zelinsky i totally agree. We need to stop incentivizing anchor babies. For those anchor babies and DACA recipients already here we need to deport the other family members, aka the criminal parents. People need to stop whining that we would be splitting up families. Those parents can take their kids with them if they want. We need to put an end to anchor babies, we need stop chain migration, and we need to criminalize people who are lying about seeking asylum.
You must either be completely uneducated or just that dense. Are you not aware how past decades US has been slowly dismantling its immigration court? There is no such thing as timely manner with a backlog of one million plus. At that waiting after you’ve paid thousands for potential approval. For many in dangerous situations cause by US destabilization of their country, waiting for our inefficient and dismantled immigration courts to process the paper work isn’t feasible. Maybe if you’re that concerned. Then fight to reform our government to stop destabilizing other countries for American corporate interest. Then you won’t have mass refugee migration
@@miasparks167 I am totally aware of the backlog, hence my comment. The first thing we need to do is address the backlog. How many people of that 1 million plus backlog actually have a credible asylum claim? Less than 10%. Don't let the other 90% enter the country in the first place, kick out those who cannot immediately make a credible claim, and there is no longer a backlog. Make them fill out Form I-589 at the border and immediately remove those who don't or can't at least make a somewhat credible claim. Saying who 'want a better life', 'want to pursue your dreams" or "want to work" is not valid. BTW I'm neither dense nor uneducated. I am also not for open borders. And I am not so naive (or in your case, stupid) that I think allowing everyone into the U.S. is the answer.
If you wanted a place to go, wanted a work permit, wanted to build a life and didnt want to trek through the jungle risking your life and health then perhaps it would have behooved you to come to the U.S. legally! The audacity of these people is mind blowing
Turns out they also want elegant food or they’re throwing it to the trash?! 🤣😂🤣 “Five star hotels and fine dining or we protest.” Mind you, these people are carrying designer clothes and accessories. And they don’t mind protesting in a foreign land to a foreign government for “rights” that they perceive that they are owed. The nerve and audacity of these “people,” is mind blowing. How about protesting your own government in your own land, huh junior? 😡
This idiot mooranic illegal aliens have the audacity to demand house clothing n healthy food or they will throw it out, I get stomach pain just by listening to this free loader talk, I would send this F--A--hole n the rest of them out so bad, 😡😡
There is nuance to be added here about U.S. intervention and overthrow of Latin Americans governments, as well as crippling sanctions imposed when Venezuela doesn’t align with U.S. economic interests. A consequence of imperialism is economic refugees coming to the imperial core. We need our government to stop meddling.
@@katieakin9397 Your premise is absolutely correct however, the criteria in which asylum into the U.S. can be claimed is very specific. Your nuanced comment while true, would still not qualify them to seek asylum in the U.S. Which is probably what they're claiming in order to enter the U.S.
I never thought I would see the day that non- citizenship was a requirement for free luxury apartment in Manhattan. Good lord this mayor is a whole clown.
asylum is usually denied too, so the Biden Admin and these supposed "aid organizations" encouraging people to come here when they'll just be denied is irresponsible. they should instead work on reforming the immigration process so that the legal path is feasible, which is safer and provides better outcomes for everyone involved. then when people arrived, having already secured legal entry and a work permit, they can start building their lives as this man has mentioned wanting to do. I believe this aid worker actually wants these migrants to be dependent on her, otherwise she would be educating them on why they do not have work permits (which has absolutely nothing to do with Eric Adams or any other mayor). These aid groups could be out there advocating for these people to be processed through the system in a reasonable timeframe in order to get work permits and become self-sufficient, but instead she's encouraging them to complain about the support they have been offered regarding food and housing. It was very satisfying to see DN silence her throughout the video, I have to admit.
I feel bad for these people, but there is other countries they could take Asylum from, or just stay in your country until the US meet with the governments of these Latin American countries to help keep their people home. Stay in Venezuela!!
Someone needs to tell “the child of a migrant” that she enjoys the freedom of this country because of our veterans, many who paid for her freedom with their blood and their lives. Many of these same veterans are homeless, hungry and cold! Does she feel any responsibility to them? America first!
why shouldn't they complain? When Title 42 ended it let them know America was allowing asylum seekers... they were told they could come here, and the US government will help them. If you were told to come, we will take you in and feed you/house you, and when you come the US government feeds you shit and fails to keep their word. They should sue the clowns in the government.... 🙃🙃🙃and yes great use of taxpayer money.
@@rmaldonado4031 Veterans can apply for benefits including disability, pension, and Medicare/Medicaid. Unsure why everyone is comparing the border crisis with the homeless problem and the veterans. Biden should not have let these people in, to begin with, and created this unnecessary "crisis".
From his OWN words, he's been receiving money (MORE than once BTW) from 2 sisters (blood relatives)who live in Chile to finance his travels. WHY not go to Chile instead then if his sister's are able to find the money to finance his travels, opportunity for work there seems a lot better than here. He'd have family members to help with finding housing and jobs, plus not having to deal with a language issue. Is he REALLY running away from legal problems in Venezuela and then trying to pretend to be seeking asylum here in the US? If so, how many others are trying the same thing?
As if any of this remotely matters. Acting like you contribute anything to improve quality of life of those stuck in systematic poverty. Like you do anything to stand against the current power structure to address those already here in poverty.
did you listen to the interview? he was very thankful for the help and said he doesn't really want anyone to have to help him more, he wants a work permit and to get a job. he just wants to be able to make a living.
@@iprainwater5495 do you know how the system works? you actually do petition for asylum if you cross at an authorized crossing, which it sounds like he did, as he says he went straight into US military custody. Our US law and international human rights law provide a right to petition for asylum. It's legal. If he is found not to qualify for asylum when he has a hearing, then it would be illegal for him to stay. It is legal to be in the country you request asylum from while you are pending a decision on that asylum claim.
He came here thinking there would be free housing and food paying jobs for anyone that came to the US illegally??? Why would that count as asylum just because you want a higher paying job? There are poor countries all over the world with low wages.... Doesn't mean they should all just move to the US. He forgets the cost of living is much higher here
They invaded a country an start an expect to be treated better than our own people.if you want to be treated humanly don't invade another country stay in yours an demand.
( LET’S GO BRANDON ) How do you break into a country, placed in a $500 a night hotel for free and when the city wants to move you in another area for free, you complain and DEMAND the US take care of you for free. This is insane.
@@inclusion9212 Stop it with that crap. They (Venezuelans) do it in EVERY SPOT THEY FIND THEMSELVES. They are not getting mistreated. They have room & board. Food & heat. Why don't you start donating?
Thousands of our own people here legally, are living in the streets and in their cars. Welcome to America, we are not responsible for illegals, but have a moral responsibility to care for are own citizens
you never say this about Boeing or Raytheon who have a free ride of your fucking tax dollars every year.. with their never ending greed and murderous affairs abroad, thus CREATING refugees ..... what is wrong with you
So he would take from women and children for his own comfort, unbelievable. Besides, he has resources! OMG...he's a grifter not only taking from America but from his family! How dare he complain. He needs to call his sisters and go back home. Besides not seeking asylum! This is egregious!
Where does his sense of entitlement come from. Our military sleep on cots, it's a shelter and we all know NY bathrooms! If he wanted a work permit he could have applied for one before hand. His motivations are economic but without any skills he gets fired in 2 hours, so how does this meet asylum requirements?
Every one wants a better future. If it was really possible to help the poorest of the poor it’s great, but often the fierce greedy ones find a fraudulent way to get their hands on food/shelter/cash benefits intended for the poor, so governments are left scrambling to help such a great influx of people! It’s easy for anyone to come through the border claiming victim hood or being financially downtrodden, when too many people just want their money on bigger U.S. payouts/handouts to send money back to their home countries
I don’t know what are they expecting as soon as they come to the US? An instant job? A housing accommodation? Free meal? What if they did not get all this? They should have done some research and ask before they crossed the border.
His responses were sometimes vague, without specifics; like what exactly was wrong with the food they were throwing out etc. It makes it hard to figure out what exactly he means by not being treated with respect.
I've never been anti immigration, but listening to you people has been turning me anti immigration. Those people are being coached on what to say. Alot of them are getting in trouble in their home countries and come running here.
Probably their country tossed them out in the first place. They're hardly coming from a war-torn nation. If they were in dire straits, they wouldn't come here and toss food into the garbage. There's not a humble thing about them, all I hear and see is arrogance and demands. You don't demand anything when you're living here for free.
Same. It would be great to help immigrants in need if we were thriving and could spare resources. But right now, our citizens should be first priority. The way we treat the homeless, elderly and veterans is a disgrace.
I ' m colombian and AT FIRST our country felt emphaty for these migrants coming through an open border and THEN they started commiting crime and missconduct we see them with very cautioness.
I am human and have a heart but I am so mind blown that they have come here demanding rooms at a 5 ⭐️ hotel that cost $500 a night, New York City is paying over $1,000,000 a month to house them in these hotels. Once they got here they lost all gratitude. our government doesn’t treat our own citizens as good as they are being treated. We have millions of American born and raised citizens that sleep on our streets year round for decades and not once has the government built them a WARM shelter while supplying FOOD. It’s extremely DANGEROUS, IRRESPONSIBLE and DISTURBING what this government is doing to our country
I'm blown away by the entitlement that this young man feels that is owed to him had he done the right thing and apply for a work visa or even a student visa maybe he would have gotten it and been in the United States legally he is able body male and now he needs to figure it out he made it from Venezuela and now he's going to have to figure it out from this point on Good luck we do it everyday and the lady sitting next to him she needs to go home and take care of her husband and her 3-year-old child
It's not about being human It's about what's right. We have homeless people here for years migrants pop up and all of sudden there's immediate help. And some of these homeless are vets who served our country died for us. Yet these people haven't contributed a damn thing just more problems. And by the way how were the bathrooms in their country? And what's colder ? sleeping outside or in a shelter? We shouldn't be responsible for these migrants. We the American people have problems of our own with the economy, homelessness , crime, covid. We are just going to continue to be taxed while the migrants get things they haven't earned. They should just deal with their problems like we do.
To be objective, Being in poverty in America is a cake walk compared to poverty in latin America. Honestly, you're just being selfish. You've obviously bought into the propaganda that frames this situation horribly. "They got it what about me" Maybe take that up with the unbridled greed of corporations, board of directors, and the lobbyist politicians. Being inhumane to a group of people just cause you're being oppresses is pathetic and childish
Give them work permits so that they can work without being abused, these people want to work! We need workers! It would help the economy, and they would be able to pay rent and be stable. I get it as a veteran that should be upsetting. Thank you for your service, you're a true hero, and unfortunately this country doesn't value you the way it should. These poor people were just looking for a better life for their children, in their country they had no food, or diapers, these are asylum seekers. The work permits would also mean that they too would pay taxes. We need to help each other now, COVID destroyed a lot and took a lot of loved ones, work, security. Now is the time to be united and care for one another.
@@miasparks167 It's obvious you have some kind of bias but you need to state the facts. Being impoverished in America is NOT a cake walk! Especially for Black Americans and single people. There is no section 8, no SNAP benefits, no cell phones for single Americans that fall into poverty. For Black Americans there's no help unless there are children involved and even then its the bare minimum. If they are the working poor it gets even worse with a cherry on top called racism!!
They shouldn't make demands we owe them nothing. And we didn't put them in this situation if you've paying attention they are very ungrateful. Not all of them but for most. Earn what you want and take the help you get. Beggars can't be choosers. To those people that feel upset by not putting migrants in luxury hotels take a couple of families to your home. Helping people to a certain level is fine. But when the people that you are helping are ungrateful no help should be provided. We laid down our lives for this country lost limbs and fought to make sure you live free. And yet still we have a lot of homeless that are ignored and overlooked these migrants come in and instantly they get help. In order for us to help someone we have to help ourselves first. Not being selfish just brutally honest.
@@miasparks167 How would you know? Have you ever been homeless? Most likely not. If they want a better future they should fix their country. Not run from it. It's not selfish to want the best for your fellow citizens from a system you pay into. That is a reasonable take. YOUR take is childish and ignorant.
So he’s here in the U.S. demanding a work permit, better food and living conditions because he can’t find work in his home country? Unfortunately, he is not a legal asylum seeker. There’s no political persecution or war happening to him in Venezuela.
and it has been very irresponsible of the Biden Admin to encourage people to come here knowing full well they'll be denied asylum, as most people are who apply. My ex-husband sought asylum from his third-world African country that had been taken over in a coup by a dictator who was killing people (political persecution) and his asylum was denied. So these aid workers who act like they want to help but in the end anything these folks pay to immigration lawyers to seek asylum they will probably lose. The solution we need is to reform our immigration policies so that these people can be vetted and provided with work permits.
I feel bad for these people, but there is other countries they could take Asylum from, or just stay in your country until the US meet with the governments of these Latin American countries to help keep their people home. Stay in Venezuela!!
@@SuperBullaMan I think the solution is for him to remain in his home country and organize to fix it via political pressure, general strike, etc. It's a quick fix to simply go to another country to find work. It's not easy to organize with your fellow countrymen and change your country for the better but that's is what's needed.
Because the Liberal Democrats have expanded the definition of "asylum-seeker" to mean basically any person of color crossing our border illegally. In reality, asylum is much more narrowly defined, as you've noted here. Someone from Cuba or North Korea or Venezuela might qualify, but someone from Mexico or Honduras or Guatemala does not. "Seeking a better life" is NOT asylum.
Right. He just heard about the fast life, like Scarface, that he would receive if he moved here. These people think they’ll be given free houses and free money and cars if they come here.
"No one likes to depend on another person" yet they are complaining about free food, free shelter, free health checkup, etc. Clearly they just want to stay in a hotel room that is cleaned and service by taxpayer dollars. Sorry to break the bad news, but even most NYers can't be independent due to the high cost of living. If you are not willing to spend the time traveling from Red Hook to Manhattan or anywhere for that matter, you are in the wrong mindset. Do they even ask how much it cost the city to shelter & provide to them each day? Be a more grateful as taxpayers are bearing the burden of cost for stuff you are complaining about.
Because they are not looking for asylum cause there is no problems in their countries, just bad economy, n they are looking for free everything yeah people this illegals are very smart they want to use our country for their own selfish n greedy purpose, live for free with our tax dollars, that's all😡😡
That independent attitude is how we as Latin Americans are. With jobs they will take care of themselves. There is always a bad bunch in all races that's just the way it is.
I feel bad for these people, but there is other countries they could take Asylum from, or just stay in your country until the US meet with the governments of these Latin American countries to help keep their people home. Stay in Venezuela!!
More than 80% of City residents , don't want them here & Don't want our City to be a Sanctuary City. Who voted for this ? Mayor Adams said he would be a Law & Order Mayor , this is chaos. How about help Black Americans first
If the price tag per person who walks in were repeated often enough in the news-the real monthly amounts spent- this situation might change drastically. But I'm sure such information will not be forthcoming from DN or any other media. It is on the order of at least 40K a month per person. The pimping that goes on with migration is absolutely incredible. Catholic Charities/"church" groups, Human Services, corrupt employers, tax funded legal services, corrupt colleges, corrupt city managers, schools cashing in on the extra IEP's.......not to mention the cartels (of many kinds). The whole thing stinks and will not end well. In England SERCO is putting out ads looking for long term rental contracts to house "migrants." It's all about decimating what's left of functioning economies and destroying what independence people have left, so they can't defend themselves from global governance a la Agenda 21/30/ Sustainable Development.
So they endured a terrible journey to America, and then when they get here, complain about the housing, lack of work, and have advocates claiming they are ENTITLED to better housing with a homeless issue looming over most major cities. THIS WILL END BAD 😔😮💨
He basically describe the typical American struggle when you're homeless. Yes day labor is only a couple days or week of work. Shelters don't provide much privacy and the food may not be that great. Everything he's describing is what typical Americans been going through since day one who were in The homeless
I feel bad for these people, but there is other countries they could take Asylum from, or just stay in your country until the US meet with the governments of these Latin American countries to help keep their people home. Stay in Venezuela!!
As I once heard, tell them the real struggles they will go through here and perhaps they will think twice before crossing three countries to cross the border illegally. Once you cross illegally there is no work permit, no guaranteed job, hell you are not in any position to make any demands. They are going to find themselves on a bus heading to another airport.
Apartments don’t provide much privacy either and charge too much rent! Yet, most cash strapped Americans/people of the world are living in substandard/cheaply built for profit apartments where mostly unfriendly/even criminals also live!
Sure enough, because I was in the shelter system so I know how it work. It's very long and hard, but only the strong survive. I got my apartment after being in shelter over 10 years, yes 10 years. It was long hard and painful but I made it. Thank god
ASYLUM SEEKERS OR THUGS??? If American homeless people were evicted from a hotel and acted up this way, they'd be removed and go to jail. The word Asylum Seeker to describe THUGS paints a very ugly picture. The law was broken the day they crossed the border illegally and continue to resist our laws. If they behave this way now, what that could be like when granted , yes granted not earned CITIZENSHIP. Are these the best?
Criminals. Three months in the country, already whining and asking for more when he has contributed nothing. Ask the Angel Mom about these border crossers. If these were high IQ, educated European assylum seekers they would be loaded on planes and sent back to Europe. Non-White, non-English speaking and non- Christian is the trifecta for the Biden admin Two out of three will do.
I wish democracy now could interview ordinary Americans who are homeless right due to landlords refusing to rent because most families don't have that high income jobs or a 759 credit score. We have American families struggling to find housing..
Exactly, it’s truly appalling that poor citizens are often placed in the back seat/back of the line for assistance/a helping hand! Jesus Christ loves all poor people equally!
Ordinary people do not fit the narrative. And if these "asylum seekers" were White, they would have been forcibly stopped at the border. Amy is another RBG just a little quieter, but just as rabid.
My impression of Ruben is that he had an easy life, either in Venezuela or Chile. I don't think his parents were poor, and he seems to have gone to a good school. I'm surprised he has no family or family friends here.
@@toyinoliviajibowu7807 That's a good question. It's difficult for me to explain, but his language (not the voice-over) is proper.

If we were in Venezuela, watching their news interview some thug type from America speaking English, the translator would try to clean up some but we would still recognize him from what we hear him say and his mannerisms.

I would like a better life to in America where my son sleeps on a mattress on the floor , where we have to live with mold because we can’t afford to move , I like to be able to buy more than $60.00 a week for food.I would like the father of my children to pay all the support I didn’t get all these tears for my kids I would like to think that I matter .
With asylum law if your unsafe in your country of origin then you should go to the next safe country. That means that you do not go to the richest country you can find. The only people that have legitimate asylum claims would be those from Canada or Mexico.
He is feeling so sorry for himself shame on him 22 years old crying about being kicked out of the hotel come on and the food all those poor homeless people will take any food they’re not particular about what they get it’s a bunch of nonsense if it’s a couple they both need to get out and go back home they don’t like it it’s a shame that the government does everything for them when there’s hungry homeless people that are older they don’t get any help they haven’t contribute anything no taxes no nothing ridiculous that our government

@LadyWarrior almost all of the migrants are mostly men of fighting age. Taking in women and children is different than taking in strong healthy men that are fully capable of supporting themselves.
The children need their mother's to watch them, most of the men abandoned their children and have no children to watch.

For asylum seekers who came with nothing, they shouldn't complain about any accomodations afforded them. We have thousands of our own poor who need help.

@Russo Zelinsky i totally agree. We need to stop incentivizing anchor babies. For those anchor babies and DACA recipients already here we need to deport the other family members, aka the criminal parents. People need to stop whining that we would be splitting up families. Those parents can take their kids with them if they want. We need to put an end to anchor babies, we need stop chain migration, and we need to criminalize people who are lying about seeking asylum.
You must either be completely uneducated or just that dense. Are you not aware how past decades US has been slowly dismantling its immigration court? There is no such thing as timely manner with a backlog of one million plus. At that waiting after you’ve paid thousands for potential approval.
For many in dangerous situations cause by US destabilization of their country, waiting for our inefficient and dismantled immigration courts to process the paper work isn’t feasible.
Maybe if you’re that concerned. Then fight to reform our government to stop destabilizing other countries for American corporate interest. Then you won’t have mass refugee migration
@@miasparks167 I am totally aware of the backlog, hence my comment. The first thing we need to do is address the backlog. How many people of that 1 million plus backlog actually have a credible asylum claim? Less than 10%. Don't let the other 90% enter the country in the first place, kick out those who cannot immediately make a credible claim, and there is no longer a backlog. Make them fill out Form I-589 at the border and immediately remove those who don't or can't at least make a somewhat credible claim. Saying who 'want a better life', 'want to pursue your dreams" or "want to work" is not valid.

this dude is crazy we owe him nothing he is here illlegally should be in jail fr fr.
Not once did he explain why he needed asylum to be here. It seems he just wants to generally have a better life.
asylum is usually denied too, so the Biden Admin and these supposed "aid organizations" encouraging people to come here when they'll just be denied is irresponsible. they should instead work on reforming the immigration process so that the legal path is feasible, which is safer and provides better outcomes for everyone involved. then when people arrived, having already secured legal entry and a work permit, they can start building their lives as this man has mentioned wanting to do. I believe this aid worker actually wants these migrants to be dependent on her, otherwise she would be educating them on why they do not have work permits (which has absolutely nothing to do with Eric Adams or any other mayor).
These aid groups could be out there advocating for these people to be processed through the system in a reasonable timeframe in order to get work permits and become self-sufficient, but instead she's encouraging them to complain about the support they have been offered regarding food and housing. It was very satisfying to see DN silence her throughout the video, I have to admit.
Because the Liberal Democrats have expanded the definition of "asylum" to basically mean any person crossing our border illegally.
Good God..Maduro is a Venezuelan dictator crushing dreams and hopes of these ppl if that's not a good enough reason to flee I don't know what is.

Where does his sense of entitlement come from. Our military sleep on cots, it's a shelter and we all know NY bathrooms! If he wanted a work permit he could have applied for one before hand. His motivations are economic but without any skills he gets fired in 2 hours, so how does this meet asylum requirements?
Why don't they stay home and demand these things?!
Every one wants a better future. If it was really possible to help the poorest of the poor it’s great, but often the fierce greedy ones find a fraudulent way to get their hands on food/shelter/cash benefits intended for the poor, so governments are left scrambling to help such a great influx of people! It’s easy for anyone to come through the border claiming victim hood or being financially downtrodden, when too many people just want their money on bigger U.S. payouts/handouts to send money back to their home countries
I don’t know what are they expecting as soon as they come to the US? An instant job? A housing accommodation? Free meal? What if they did not get all this? They should have done some research and ask before they crossed the border.

Maybe take that up with the unbridled greed of corporations, board of directors, and the lobbyist politicians. Being inhumane to a group of people just cause you're being oppresses is pathetic and childish
Give them work permits so that they can work without being abused, these people want to work! We need workers! It would help the economy, and they would be able to pay rent and be stable. I get it as a veteran that should be upsetting.
Thank you for your service, you're a true hero, and unfortunately this country doesn't value you the way it should.
These poor people were just looking for a better life for their children, in their country they had no food, or diapers, these are asylum seekers.
The work permits would also mean that they too would pay taxes. We need to help each other now, COVID destroyed a lot and took a lot of loved ones, work, security. Now is the time to be united and care for one another.
@@miasparks167 It's obvious you have some kind of bias but you need to state the facts. Being impoverished in America is NOT a cake walk! Especially for Black Americans and single people. There is no section 8, no SNAP benefits, no cell phones for single Americans that fall into poverty. For Black Americans there's no help unless there are children involved and even then its the bare minimum. If they are the working poor it gets even worse with a cherry on top called racism!!
They shouldn't make demands we owe them nothing. And we didn't put them in this situation if you've paying attention they are very ungrateful. Not all of them but for most. Earn what you want and take the help you get. Beggars can't be choosers. To those people that feel upset by not putting migrants in luxury hotels take a couple of families to your home. Helping people to a certain level is fine. But when the people that you are helping are ungrateful no help should be provided. We laid down our lives for this country lost limbs and fought to make sure you live free. And yet still we have a lot of homeless that are ignored and overlooked these migrants come in and instantly they get help. In order for us to help someone we have to help ourselves first. Not being selfish just brutally honest.
@@miasparks167 How would you know? Have you ever been homeless? Most likely not. If they want a better future they should fix their country. Not run from it. It's not selfish to want the best for your fellow citizens from a system you pay into. That is a reasonable take. YOUR take is childish and ignorant.
Why does their better future have to be paid for by American workers who will then be replaced.
Its a 5 star hotel they're after....same in Europe...they're NEVER happy
So he’s here in the U.S. demanding a work permit, better food and living conditions because he can’t find work in his home country? Unfortunately, he is not a legal asylum seeker. There’s no political persecution or war happening to him in Venezuela.
and it has been very irresponsible of the Biden Admin to encourage people to come here knowing full well they'll be denied asylum, as most people are who apply. My ex-husband sought asylum from his third-world African country that had been taken over in a coup by a dictator who was killing people (political persecution) and his asylum was denied.
So these aid workers who act like they want to help but in the end anything these folks pay to immigration lawyers to seek asylum they will probably lose. The solution we need is to reform our immigration policies so that these people can be vetted and provided with work permits.
_If you give a mouse a cookie, it's gonna want a glass of milk._
This is as true here as it is in many other areas of everyday life.
I feel bad for these people, but there is other countries they could take Asylum from, or just stay in your country until the US meet with the governments of these Latin American countries to help keep their people home. Stay in Venezuela!!
@@SuperBullaMan I think the solution is for him to remain in his home country and organize to fix it via political pressure, general strike, etc. It's a quick fix to simply go to another country to find work. It's not easy to organize with your fellow countrymen and change your country for the better but that's is what's needed.
imho, By his Own Words he's Not here because of Political Asylum Reasons.
His life was Not in Danger nor was he being Persecuted.
Because the Liberal Democrats have expanded the definition of "asylum-seeker" to mean basically any person of color crossing our border illegally. In reality, asylum is much more narrowly defined, as you've noted here.
Someone from Cuba or North Korea or Venezuela might qualify, but someone from Mexico or Honduras or Guatemala does not.
"Seeking a better life" is NOT asylum.
Right. He just heard about the fast life, like Scarface, that he would receive if he moved here. These people think they’ll be given free houses and free money and cars if they come here.
He sound like opportunity seeker or job seeker than asylum seeker! Illegals crossing should stop at border, not at local news media!
"No one likes to depend on another person" yet they are complaining about free food, free shelter, free health checkup, etc. Clearly they just want to stay in a hotel room that is cleaned and service by taxpayer dollars. Sorry to break the bad news, but even most NYers can't be independent due to the high cost of living. If you are not willing to spend the time traveling from Red Hook to Manhattan or anywhere for that matter, you are in the wrong mindset. Do they even ask how much it cost the city to shelter & provide to them each day? Be a more grateful as taxpayers are bearing the burden of cost for stuff you are complaining about.
Because they are not looking for asylum cause there is no problems in their countries, just bad economy, n they are looking for free everything yeah people this illegals are very smart they want to use our country for their own selfish n greedy purpose, live for free with our tax dollars, that's all😡😡
Agree seems like they want to stay in the Hamptons smh
Are you ready for their attitudes THE NERVE
That independent attitude is how we as Latin Americans are. With jobs they will take care of themselves. There is always a bad bunch in all races that's just the way it is.
I feel bad for these people, but there is other countries they could take Asylum from, or just stay in your country until the US meet with the governments of these Latin American countries to help keep their people home. Stay in Venezuela!!
More than 80% of City residents , don't want them here & Don't want our City to be a Sanctuary City. Who voted for this ? Mayor Adams said he would be a Law & Order Mayor , this is chaos. How about help Black Americans first
Too bad so sad 😭 lol
@@lapinchechismosa 👆 Another Humble Migrant
@@d-lowbrown3994 my dna is in this land, yours isn’t
@@d-lowbrown3994 you can’t debate to save your sad life. You sit on your couch being angry yet keep voting for the same neoliberals lololololol
@@lapinchechismosa "To bad, So sad 😭" = Great debating skills 😂🤣
If the price tag per person who walks in were repeated often enough in the news-the real monthly amounts spent- this situation might change drastically. But I'm sure such information will not be forthcoming from DN or any other media. It is on the order of at least 40K a month per person. The pimping that goes on with migration is absolutely incredible. Catholic Charities/"church" groups, Human Services, corrupt employers, tax funded legal services, corrupt colleges, corrupt city managers, schools cashing in on the extra IEP's.......not to mention the cartels (of many kinds). The whole thing stinks and will not end well. In England SERCO is putting out ads looking for long term rental contracts to house "migrants." It's all about decimating what's left of functioning economies and destroying what independence people have left, so they can't defend themselves from global governance a la Agenda 21/30/ Sustainable Development.
💯
You hit the nail on the head
I couldn’t have said it any better myself 👍
So they endured a terrible journey to America, and then when they get here, complain about the housing, lack of work, and have advocates claiming they are ENTITLED to better housing with a homeless issue looming over most major cities. THIS WILL END BAD 😔😮💨
He basically describe the typical American struggle when you're homeless. Yes day labor is only a couple days or week of work. Shelters don't provide much privacy and the food may not be that great. Everything he's describing is what typical Americans been going through since day one who were in The homeless
I feel bad for these people, but there is other countries they could take Asylum from, or just stay in your country until the US meet with the governments of these Latin American countries to help keep their people home. Stay in Venezuela!!
As I once heard, tell them the real struggles they will go through here and perhaps they will think twice before crossing three countries to cross the border illegally.
Once you cross illegally there is no work permit, no guaranteed job, hell you are not in any position to make any demands.
They are going to find themselves on a bus heading to another airport.
Apartments don’t provide much privacy either and charge too much rent! Yet, most cash strapped Americans/people of the world are living in substandard/cheaply built for profit apartments where mostly unfriendly/even criminals also live!
Sure enough, because I was in the shelter system so I know how it work. It's very long and hard, but only the strong survive. I got my apartment after being in shelter over 10 years, yes 10 years. It was long hard and painful but I made it. Thank god
So even just to communicate with one of them we need another person to translate. Wtf are we doing in this country.
ASYLUM SEEKERS OR THUGS??? If American homeless people were evicted from a hotel and acted up this way, they'd be removed and go to jail. The word Asylum Seeker to describe THUGS paints a very ugly picture. The law was broken the day they crossed the border illegally and continue to resist our laws. If they behave this way now, what that could be like when granted , yes granted not earned CITIZENSHIP. Are these the best?
We all Agree & want them DEPORTED.
Criminals. Three months in the country, already whining and asking for more when he has contributed nothing. Ask the Angel Mom about these border crossers. If these were high IQ, educated European assylum seekers they would be loaded on planes and sent back to Europe. Non-White, non-English speaking and non- Christian is the trifecta for the Biden admin Two out of three will do.
Exactly it's all backwards
Right! Stay where you were then there's not a problem. Everyone cant come gere! They all should be arrested
I’m sure NY does not need anymore criminals and thugs.
I wish democracy now could interview ordinary Americans who are homeless right due to landlords refusing to rent because most families don't have that high income jobs or a 759 credit score. We have American families struggling to find housing..
Exactly, it’s truly appalling that poor citizens are often placed in the back seat/back of the line for assistance/a helping hand! Jesus Christ loves all poor people equally!
Ordinary people do not fit the narrative. And if these "asylum seekers" were White, they would have been forcibly stopped at the border. Amy is another RBG just a little quieter, but just as rabid.
Doesn't fit their narrative. Democracy Now is a far left channel.
They never will
Rome is burning and the sense of entitlement is astounding .
My impression of Ruben is that he had an easy life, either in Venezuela or Chile. I don't think his parents were poor, and he seems to have gone to a good school. I'm surprised he has no family or family friends here.
Its called entitlement he thinks he deserved.
Virtual meets reality.
How did you get that impression?
@@toyinoliviajibowu7807 That's a good question. It's difficult for me to explain, but his language (not the voice-over) is proper. Spanish speaking countries are similar to English speaking in that poorer, less educated people don't speak the language the same. If we were in Venezuela, watching their news interview some thug type from America speaking English, the translator would try to clean up some but we would still recognize him from what we hear him say and his mannerisms. It's just an impression, I don't know this young man... but, I "recognize him."
@@toyinoliviajibowu7807 Because he has absurd expectations.
I’m really sick of this mess
Right!!
He is demanding many thing, how about the homeless American citizen. Now he forgot that he is an illegal immigrants!
The sheer scale of entitlement to be handed their demands is staggering. It's the same here in the UK and Europe. It can't go on.
It’s about treating them like humans. Not animals.
Migrants are people and everyone in this country deserves to be safe.
@@jwhbos You should give up your citizenship for one of them and go to their country.
Garbage in/garbage out.
@@jwhbos What about the thousands of New Yorkers that have to commute by train or car into the city who has paid taxes for years and or served in the US military service as they can't afford to live near their downtown NYC job?
The immigrants are in fact entitled if they are placing demands on their free living arrangement option in the most expensive city in the US. They came to America where, government handouts are not given with options.
@@jwhbos this is not a charity and no one is treating them worse than any country they came from or most in the world. you should take some into your home
@@jwhboshumans who have a brain don’t show up illegally to a country without any savings at all.
This is outrageous!! He doesn’t have everything perfect and complains. Get out.
🎉🎉😂😂❤ yes leave, if things are terrible go to Chile with your sisters
These people should have done this to their presidents in their country. What about the homeless
These people literally were staying in a $500 a night hotel, where the majority of Americans can’t even afford to stay. This is absolutely insane. You come to a country illegally and you are this entitled.
The Watson hotel was empty before it was used for housing.Stop spreading hateful information and act in Christian faith.
Thinking the same thing when we have Americans who are vets and the sick living on the streets, they complaining about the shelter which is much better and more humane than living at the Mexican border
How far do people commute to get to the city everyday? Homeless people in shelters don't have a choice where they are placed.
👍
The entitlement is sickening.
"what their decision was..." the sheer gall. Do they even know just how disgusting they sound??
Send them from the house of the leftist activist fighting for rights of the illegal immigrants!
I live in Colombia and have had an American visa for 25 years following the protocols just to visit and always returning to my country and while here in Colombia my mother decided to help some Venezuelan family giving them shelter and also work to help in the farm ,and whenever was dinner time they would refuse to eat what was prepared and theyr argument was that they don’t eat that stuff and Venezuela one day I decided to give them some of my clothes and they refused to take them because they said it was not theyr style and top of it they were dirty no higiene and no maners and arrogant primadona attitude the whole time , one day I got feed up and against my mothers will and kindly asked them to leave and they didn’t even said thank You , I feel sorry for the United States and what’s about to happen, this is out of control !
Wow Amy, looking at the comment section, you might be out of touch with your audience on this one.
Nope. Just a bunch of conservative, racist trolls spamming.
@@76678-m I suppose that’s possible since Amy seems to make everything about race. These are fertile grounds for that kind of thing.
It's a Reflection of how the overwhelming majority of us City residents feel & How the overwhelming majority of the Country feel. Close the border & DEPORT them
@@johnbuckner2828 America’s foundation was setup on race however I’m Black American that that is staunchly against immigration. It tears down the wage wall and takes jobs from my peoples first. There’s a lot of nuance in this convo that Amy isn’t willing to have.
@@jtt1928 Bernie Sanders used to be against immigration too; for the same reasons as you.
He decided to leave Venezuela because the economy is in crisis!!???
And he claims that he's asylum seeker!?
Are u serious!?
Where in the immigration and nationality act is that ground for asylum approval!?
And he has a nerve to complain and demand better condition.
The word eviction is another one...
I can even describe that nonsense.
WTF!?
What about helping homeless AMERICAN CITIZENS????
America last
The government no longer cares about them.
In Los Angeles, the dominant Latin population often waves Mexican flags to demand rent control etc. You know, the ancestral country they abandoned that won't provide these things for them...
exactly
California was part of Mexico till the 1840s before the US stole it
@devapala879 Mexico was native peoples territory before Spain stole it in 1521 and created the Mexicans.
They fly their flags on the back of pickup up trucks too! I've see them every single day!!!😮
Single military men and women in service sleep in barracks and tents eat rations if it's good enough for them it's more than fine for unemployed illegal immigrants.
I would like a better life to in America where my son sleeps on a mattress on the floor , where we have to live with mold because we can’t afford to move , I like to be able to buy more than $60.00 a week for food.I would like the father of my children to pay all the support I didn’t get all these tears for my kids I would like to think that I matter .
With asylum law if your unsafe in your country of origin then you should go to the next safe country. That means that you do not go to the richest country you can find.
The only people that have legitimate asylum claims would be those from Canada or Mexico.
He is feeling so sorry for himself shame on him 22 years old crying about being kicked out of the hotel come on and the food all those poor homeless people will take any food they’re not particular about what they get it’s a bunch of nonsense if it’s a couple they both need to get out and go back home they don’t like it it’s a shame that the government does everything for them when there’s hungry homeless people that are older they don’t get any help they haven’t contribute anything no taxes no nothing ridiculous that our government
The nerve!!! Did they command those comforts in his own country. We work and survive over here in America!
