Once they get here, they find out that the average American has to actually work, in order to have food, clothing, and shelter, and combined with the colder temps in the northern states, it's a far cry from what they were expecting.
That’s been a problem for years. I once met someone from Eastern Europe (over 20 years ago) who thought most Americans lived like J.R..Ewing in Dallas. They wouldn’t believe me when I told them it wasn’t like that.

Sad (for the US) but true....

This is wild. Make sure to lock your doors if you're in an area like this.

This migration has more to do with the freebies over here than anything. This is a Klondike-style gold rush, with the only factors changed being the absence of severe cold. The Klondike attracted often impecunious treasure seekers because they thought wealth was available for the asking.

As I've said before, what's coming up from the third-world countries below the border is garbage human beings.

Just woke up and was looking at today's headlines.. NY Post reporting another new stabbing/fight at a NY alien shelter. Photos of the arestees, all well-dressed, appear well-fed. How long will America accept the lawless & false asylum narrative??

In comments of one of the videos I watched - a person related how his uncle brought bags of clothing to one of the shelters. Of course the illegals rushed over pulling things out of the bags and discarding them - when he asked if these clothes wouldn't fit them - their response was that they were looking for designer brands like Nike, Tommy Hilfiger ect.. I often wonder why I see so many with designer labels on their clothes.
