Does CNN cover the homelessness crisis all over America?

Yes come to America where we can’t even help our own homeless and people with mental issues and owe trillions in debt…

As an immigrant myself who escaped Vietnam in the 80's with my family as a child, I can relate to these people. People are looking for better lives so don't judge until you walk in their shoes. The journey of getting out is never easy. Yes, life is not easy here in America but hell, certainly a lot better than where they come from.

That woman quoting Psalm 91--such a powerful covenant. May the Lord always protect them

I don't understand, they are not being forced to make that trip! It's by choice. If they weren't being encouraged by the current administration, they wouldn't be coming. I truly feel for the children being put through this. But, why do they expect for American taxpayers to take care of them? By the way, they look quite clean for people who have been traveling for days through the jungle. 7 million have crossed the border illegally since 1.21, what they don't understand is that America will soon be like the countries they are leaving.

As a Pacific islander I now understand why Trump wanted that wall.

The stories, the books, the movies, to remember in the next ten years. Kids telling their stories after finishing at JC to even Ivy League

this makes me think an appreciation life

I’m stressed out about my debt and hours getting cut at my job but watching this really humbles me 😢

What boggels my mind,why is most people migrating to the very same countries that they hate so much and doesnt these crazy politicians from where these poor migrants come from ever feel ashamed of themselves to put their own countryman through such pain and suffering thus putting a further burden onto another country?

Why is America the final destination? There's plenty of safe cartel free countries in South America, Latin America and the Caribbean. Why not make a home there?

The little boy who lost his parents & all he’s looking forward to is his dad building a swimming pool. Kids are so innocent & pure I really hope he makes it out and has a life he’s always dreamed of. ❤

The best option is to help these countries to have a better government.

It's a shame but we are not being so judgemental, what are we going to do with all these people ? Americans have it hard themselves these days, how can we accommodate them all, feel bad for little ones it's too much for them.

Thank you God for all that I have. I’m truly grateful and I realized how blessed I am on my bad days. God bless this country enough to make the ppl comfortable and happy 🙏🏾

The poor little boy coughing. 😢 As a parent I understand why there doing what they’re doing but my heart hurts so much for the kids.

I'm not leaving my Jamaica, I'm here to the end. I feel it for all these people how's looking for better. But just having life is everything

Imagine doing all this to come to a country during its collapse, it’s crazy how nobody understands how empires fall. They’ll regret their decision soon

It’s so many of them I think they should stay in their country and fight oppression instead of drowning another country.
