Are we there yet?

send them home because I am tired of paying for other people....I can barely make it for my family and you keep taking my tax payer dollars for others...we have enough homeless and vets needing our help..America first

Send them back to there country. The US government has to take care of our own before they start taking care of illegals. WakeUpAmerica

Well about the ones who don't use bridges?

realDonaldTrump Obstructionist LA Times, come on, those are not asylum-seekers, if they were, they would have stayed in Mexico, who was offering asylum. There are rules to seeking Asylum.

At the border, I see them sitting with $600+ cell phones waving their country's flags, flipping us off through the wall. Yet we have epidemic levels of homeless people here we don't even take care of? We need to take care of ourselves before we can take care of others.

Trump is making votes in California .... would a lib do this ? .... NO i dont think so

Shame that they are being compelled to adhere to existing US laws

Good.

残念ながら、新天地へ行き付く事は困難だろう。

These people are not asylum seekers ... they are looking for a hand-out and NOT entering through an official port of entrance. They are not even desperate women & children as advertised. They are illegalimmigrants! ICEgov DHSgov POTUS

Trump is hoping for some kind of massive violent incident,there's no doubt in my mind.This all could have been handled quietly and quickly on aCase-by-case basis but he is forcing all these people to be herded together in one or two places for a very long time,hoping for violence

If only those saying how heartless this is, actually cared about our own country's homeless population, as well as those displaced from the CA wildfires, before letting in illegals.

WHY WOULD THE BIGGEST AND BEST NATION IN THE WORLD HAVE TO HAVE MEXICO 'SCAN' THE ASYLUM SEEKERS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE WE HAVE A WEAK---DEMENTED POTUS

Maybe they should start fixing their own country instead of running away like a bunch of cowards, js

... we call it borders that work as borders

Huh, where is this? Because it’s not here in El Paso/Juarez.

Mexico should deport them all. We don’t have the blls to do it

I am glad to see so many cheering for the suffering of these people as they thank Jesus for their abundance. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Not that I think it would happen but if a Civil War did popped off here in the USA those Asylum seekers would go straight back to where they came from.

Good

Sweet

Seems heartless to me...

Nothing in the law prohibits waiting in turn for asylum-if they are at risk in Mexico, they assumed the risk when they left their countries-even if they are admitted to the US, they are going to discover there are no 'completely safe' cities -just ask the victims of gun violence.

Thanks mister president....in Trump we trust

Forced? They are trying to force themselves into the U.S. report on that

“Asylum seekers” = economic migrants. A new euphemism pecks its way out of the egg.

Just here to check out the deplorables.

Within the realm of haves and have nots and where invariably the life is the cheapest thing , no one can stop asylum seekers crossing any borders across the globe!!!

because the are in MEXICO and subject to Mexican Legal System.....Tough Shit

Not true header- more FAKE News! These are Invaders!!!!!!!

They were officially offered asylum in Mexico and refused. Mexican nationals have the right to be offended by their presence and disrespect for their country.

As they should. There is a line.

Illegal invaders

Welcome to Mexico invaders! Should have stayed in your home country

Nice!!!

None should be allowed in.

Mexico did welcome them to stay with them but they refused ! How rude !

Perfect!

Mexican officials charging money to let them pass? This might give realDonaldTrump ideas.

Love it. Wait on someone else's dime

Asylum seekers go to embassies. these are not asylum seekers.

Good.

Down on the border, Texas volunteers open their homes and hearts to asylum seekersVolunteers in Brownsville, Texas, wade into Mexico each night to feed and clothe the asylum seekers gathered along the border, some for as long as a month. When migrants are dropped off by authorities at the bus depot, the volunteers give them backpacks and advice. It's the new Ellis Island. As long as it’s their own homes and hearts they’re opening, it’s fair. That's beautiful! I love that! remarkable. special. Benavides, Cordova ❤️❤️
