Illegal immigration: Compassion and Common Sense

1. I agree with all you said! 👍🏻🇺🇸

2. Its too bad you didn't get into the first topic you mentioned as I actually wonder quite substantially about that as well. I wonder if these "migrant/aslyum seeker" caravans are actually some kind of Latin American equivalent to Roma or other modern nomads and thus much better equipped and prepared for life on the road. I don't buy the lunatic theories that say they're funded by some enemy within just because that seems impractical, though there are plenty of corrupt sweatshops over here that seem to profit off of the border's permeability.

3. That whole walk was sponsored by the DEMOCRATS!!

4. I hate the idea that one's choices are "let everyone in" or "leave everyone out". Such issues like this have a lot of nuance, and that nuance leaves no room for the false dichotomy.

5. What about DACA recipients that have joined the armed forces ?

6. good contact for this issue would be the Green Line

7. Why you don't complain about the white and Asian illegal immigrants?

8. Many politicians and people advocating for open borders live in gated/walled communities. I say if they want open borders, they open they're communities and leave their houses unlocked at night.

9. You should run for president! 🇺🇸

10. A lot of people seem confused about the fact foreign-born people can legally walk up to a border agent and ask for asylum. In no way are they breaking the law. It is literally the legal way that people from all political leanings say they respect and exactly what thousands of people do every year. Unfortunately those folks are getting lumped in with people who climb walls etc. Which is not fair. At the moment, more than a few border agents are lumping them together as well, which is illegal, but no one is forcing them to behave legally. Me? I think all of us should obey the law even the LEOs. We need more Mike's.

11. Well said and the Illegal Immigration into the U.S. and other countries is deliberate and Strongly Funded by design.

12. Pop? Soda? Nope.. Around here, it's called Coke regardless of what label is actually on the can/bottle. HA!

13. Wait I’m an a Hispanic illegal immigrant can in please stay in the U.S I’m not trying to get deported pofavor no quiero

14. Sorry Mike, but I'm just not able to feel compassion for the people in the caravan from Honduras, and here's why. First, Mexico offered them asylum, and they rejected it, which means that asylum isn't really what they're seeking, and their claims of being in danger in Honduras are bogus. Second, they're already suing the US government to try to force us to let them into the US. And lastly, just a few days ago they issued a collective ultimatum to the Trump administration demanding that they be paid $50,000 apiece to go back to Honduras, or they'll enter the US illegally. These people have no respect for America whatsoever, in fact they despise us, and they have no respect for our laws or due process either. They just want our money, period. So I have zero sympathy or compassion for them, sorry. They're parasites, and we need to keep them out.

15. Mike, if you are interested, I would like to discuss that topic with you. Because American people do not know, how their immigration works right now and why things like in the news happen. Again, if you are interested to get to know it for real, please contact me through my channel mail. Thanks.

16. We need a video talking about all of the mothers throwing their kids over the fence or pushing them through holes in the fence to get them into the country illegally. How about the pregnant mother who climbed the fence to have her baby within 24 hours of getting into the country.

17. What you're looking for is "false Dilemma/Dichotomy"

18. Hallo 🐲💖👋👏👍😎

19. Who pays for them to walk here?? wtf haha the only reason we can't afford to do that is because we want to stop at mcdonalds and starbucks 50 times between here and Mexico. It prolly costs 5 Pesos to buy some corn and a potato every day, not to mention any hunting and gathering that might happen. My friends dad used to bring us fish from the lake every other day….

    Also to everyone relying on the "arbitrary" legal vs illegal immigration, people fleeing for their lives are allowed to come here and be processed for asylum. all of this is ignoring the fact that we all came from illegal immigrants that did a HELL of a lot more than throw rocks at natives. Give me a break.

20. ACAB all day. Burn in Hell pig

21. A large section of society is tired of supporting other countries problems; it has nothing to do with Trump. Do you live in California. We are are paying the price of this influx of unwanted people they are not Americans period. Try and get in an Emergency room here, I could go on for a week with the social services taxed by undocumented cityzens. Now let's talk welfare fraud, who pays for it We do. We owe Americans an education no one else.

22. whoever paid these people to walk to the border is a serious question. The US Govt will more than often meet any threat with a display of serious force, the potential of violence at the border is real. To send ignorant desperate people to their potential death, just to put Trump in a compromising position are truly sociopathic. If Trump does nothing, then he looks weak on border control and it would set a terrible precedent. If he executes women and children at the border, the world will see the US poorly and Trump will never be voted in 2020.

23. amen!

24. Came here from Highimpactvlog's channel bc i was tired of listening to his anti American anti cop bullshit

25. Hey Mike The Cop, would you consider commenting or doing a video on the shooting out of Colorado where a Veteran defending his home and grandson from a home invasion was shot and killed by an Officer? I would greatly appreciate your take on it. Maybe a good topic for the podcast?

26. Yes, we should have compassion for illegal invaders! They just want our social welfare. How is that bad?

27. Mike The Cop, hero of YouTube, thank you for challenging the denizens of the Internet to dislodge their gray matter from their collective posteriors. While I may not always agree with everything you say, I respect and appreciate your manner of discourse. It's exactly how people should engage over controversial issues with calm, reason, intelligence, and compassion.

28. Definitely immigration is one of our hardest problems today, but I think we can all agree that the system is broken. It is very hard to get into America. Some people wait 10+ years to get it, and others like Mexico can wait 15-20 years. No wonder they come here illegally. Is there any reason not to allow good people to emigrate here quick and easily?

29. I get a lot of people's arguments on the matter, and that there are a lot of opinions and ideas floating around. For starters, the best way, in my opinion (my opinion!) to deal with a country is to balance where your resources go. The issue comes with balancing foreign and domestic aid. If you go all globalist and throw money to these needy nations, you risk the trust of your own people, even though it is with good intentions. Offering aid to a third world nation is a good idea, because by helping them out and try and improve their quality of living they're less likely to pull this mass immigration shit off. The only downside is that if you don't balance this and ignore domestic issues you lose the trust of your own people. But the same is true in the inverse. If you take aid away from foreign nations and throw it domestically you run the problem of mass migration and your citizens complaining about that. No matter what you do in these situations you cannot just jump to one extreme side of the argument and shun the other. By ignoring these countries you're leading to this issue, but by ignoring the people inside of your country you further burying yourself in a mess of civil backlash. And that is what is going on right now. Ignoring humanitarian aid to South American nations has lead to a decrease in quality of life and living, which leads to asylum seekers seeking asylum from inhospitable living. And with these masses of people, you get those more extreme individuals who break the law and make the others look bad. This is true in many situations no matter the place. And to me, my opinions mind you, the president hasn't really helped the matter at all. The military cannot do anything to the immigrants, only the violent ones, and even then they can barely do anything because they don't have the same legal authority as a border agent. All they can really do is help in aiding the individuals and setting up barricades and fortifying the border. But they cannot make arrests, carry out any form of legal apprehension of said violent individuals, and really just escalate the situation. Sending lawyers and judges to cities and towns near and around border crossing locations is what he should've done. That at least would help clean up the legal system because, you know, even if they cross illegally they'll plead guilty to any charges of illegal entry into the country then apply for asylum. Kinda makes sense on why they'd do that. But not sending more people to help these people out? It is asking for issues to arise

    And there a lot of people saying "They should've entered legally", "why did they not enter legally?", "They put themselves into this situation and should've entered legally". Here is my question to you : where the fuck is America's front door? Have you tried packing tens of thousands of people who were living in violence, extreme poverty and low living conditions and ship them "legally" into a country? Do you know how difficult legal immigration is? Do you know the amount of paperwork, legal work, time and effort it takes to legally enter? If you're being abused by gangs, having to deal with drugs, no money, and constant violence while living in a shanty shack with no clean water, are you going to have the time to wait up to five to ten years to apply for legal asylum and then head into a country legally that way? Are you going to ait that long and fill out paperwork that you have a slight chance to even get accepted in, and run the risk of being raped or murdered or extorted by gang members for doing so? The funding comes from humanitarian aid groups, and to me it is a human right to not live in a shanty shack where your life is at risk every day. There is no front door to America. And so long as these people do what many others have done then they should be allowed, not tossed back out to the domestic hell they were once living in. They're not coming here to invade our country, they're leaving from the terrible life they were once living because their country is in financial ruins or in a failing democracy and the money goes to the government and their cronies and not the denizens who make of the population. And the answer to these mass migrations isn't shutting down the borders and telling the country they came from to fuck off, that only makes it worse.

    See it like this, say you run a grocery store, and you have thirty workers. Now you did have a democratic system for electing managers, but you realize you can turn a quick profit by fucking everyone over and dismantling your democrating system. Now then, your next step is maximizing profits. Do you : A. give equal share to the people and those you trust or B. tell the people who work for you to bugger off and pay off those who are only loyal to you so you can stay in a mangerial position? Well, this manager chose B. and as such they now are now paying off managers who will keep the people in check. You got managers running extortion and murder, threatening their workers families with violence and other crimes so long as they are in line. Now then, the National Association of Ethical Grocers sees this and is like "That isn't fair" and ask the largest grocery chain to send relief money to the denizens to hopefully get things back in line, saying that they'll get others to back in the funding of opposition parties that, hopefully, will lead to the reformation of their democracy. However the largest grocery chain desides to be xenophobic and says "fuck those guys we're keeping all of our money here." So when funding for the opposition party falls short, the people get angry, and so, say, out of those thirty workers, 15 get up and just leave, heading for the worlds largest grocery chain because they offer so much more than the one they were working at. The manager from their store is angry, and so conditions worsen, but for those 15 people who left, they hope that by entering and not coming back the other 15 will get the idea and leave. You see where I'm going with this? Same thing in our own world but with countries not grocery stores.

    I've rambled too far, if you've read to the end congrats, you get a cookie

30. Hey Mike, I have a question for you.

    What's your opinion with all those First Amendment Audits?

31. The migrants are usually fed by the Catholic Church's every year they do this. They even pray with them throughout the journey.

32. Mike, if you are interested, I would like to discuss that topic with you. Because American people do not know, how their immigration works right now and why things like in the news happen. Again, if you are interested to get to know it for real, please contact me through my channel mail. Thanks.
