Texas Conservatives Fear “Takeover” By Immigrants
With a new administration in place that's attempting to remove Title 42, a provision enacted in 2020 by the Trump administration, some Conservatives are arguing that Democrats are systematically trying to replace them with immigrants.

I am not for Sanctuary cities because I didn't vote for it 😮
Your fear-mongering, and extreme bias is mind numbing.
So the old immigrants are worried about losing out to the new immigrants.
It always happens. In the 80s and 90s there was a surge of Central American and Mexican immigrants in Los Angeles. There was tension between those two new immigrant groups and on top of that the old Mexican immigrants that came here in the 40s hated both groups
Been happening since the beginning of this country
Mine mine mine.
The New immigrants aren't immigrants, they are largely native peoples to the America's.
It's a disgrace
Oh the irony, immigrants telling other immigrants they’re not welcomed..
Right? That's exactly what I was thinking. The fucking nerve
Berserker, it's immigrants telling illegal immigrants to do the same as legal immigrants. AND, what do you say to those immigrants that entered legally, AND those that are still waiting?
Those are white wannabes. Don’t they realize they don’t want them in the country too.
@@danpress7745 Don’t be so pretentious and presumptuous, it’s much more complex than that I just find there tone and entitled attitude rather Amusing and offensive. But nice try Bud..👌🏼
@@danpress7745 CLEARLY the point is lost on you... BYE BOO!

The sad thing is, some of these idiots look/are indigenous. It's just a huge facepalm all over!
lol
As are most republicans; descended from immigrants; now feel as if they have some birthright; where any newer immigrant(s) can't have the sane treatment. Bunch of hypocrites!!!
Illegal or legal they are not good for the usa
If America worked like the rest of the world (Jus sanguinis instead of jus soli) she wouldn't even be an American citizen She'd be deported instantly to Mexico.
There has to be some kind of common sense on how much each district, county, state can handle.
Exactly.
Yes there is common sense Eric. It’s not just a simple answer to solve the problem. It’s hard to control the amount of people coming into the United States illegally
@@dabadaba530 you must live in a great area , that is a blessing. Unite as one I have no problem with that I’m all for it. But how would you feel if you have illegal non citizens coming from your backyard fence ? Just a thought you might want to consider what the people that live closer to the border have to go through
@@dabadaba530 every county has there own rules right ? It’s not always fair but that’s the way it is. So your idea is let’s have everyone in the world come to America and be free lol unite as one !
Texas cannot take no more we want the immigrants sent back to their countries the American people are going to have to arm themselves with what weapons we have and pushed the cartel back over the Border
"No one wants to work anymore," or, "they took our jobs." Can't have it both ways.
Aka "I don't want competition because I can't keep up with them" mentality.
@@linger4605 so you support American wages being depressed as well as foreign workers being exploited? Disgusting.
@@linger4605 i swear.
@@pepitoculazo665 That's exactly what it is. They fear people that will work harder for less and these fat, comfy new generation of Latinos fear they'll have competition of what they feel is owed to them
It's both where I live, honestly. Immigrants didn't take jobs, though - work is just hard to come by in some careers, and other careers are open because nobody wants to work that career.
Don't Texans already do this to themselves when they pay migrants under the table to do landscaping and construction?
And work in literally every restaurant
Texas would've collapsed long ago without these migrants, those xenophobes are nothing but ignorant fools...
Prove that they know those people are illegals
And sweat shops
Nannies and housekeepers as well.
An inmigrante talking bad about another immigrant that is so disgusting 🤮
Hispanic version of Uncle Ruckus (The Boondocks) lol
My favorite part about this is that Mexican-Americans suddenly care about border security now that Central Americans and Haitians are the main people at the border.
Sad and beyond beyond beyond hypocritical
you automatically think a Mexican-American came illegally because they are from Mexico. That shows your mindset, that all Mexicans break immigration laws. That's also kind of racist to think there are no qualified Mexicans who immigrated legally with merit through business, student and work visas and waited 10 years to get their green cards and finally get their citizenship.
Dumb way of thinking
@@bkit5 it is imperative that I make it clear I am referring only to those who came here “illegally” 1st OR 2nd gen.
Thats funny because Mexican immigration to the U.S has actually risen so its not mainly Hatiens and Central Americans
I know these kind of people. They are the "we don't want others like us to have a good life"-people. You see this in every community everywhere.
The hypocritical "I was a immigrants too and became an American citizen and now I hate immigrants who tries to do same as I did"
Exactly. They have fear, for sure. But it isn't about personal safety. It's that they are afraid that someone will get their "stuff", including their way of life
Maybe because they did it the right way, they feel its not right for other people to be able to skip the process completely and then not participate in taxes. Imagine you spend years of your life working towards a goal and finally achieve it, then hundreds of thousands of other people are just stealing it. Also people tend to not like people who break the law and are felons which if you cross the border illegally.............
It's a weird thing of "I don't want people to have the success I have" because it make their own success seem more trivial. There's no winner if everyone wins right? Nonetheless, they don't know just how hypocritical they're being.
Why don't we just open the borders and let the whole world come in then? You clueless people have no idea the difference between legal and illegal immigration. There is a reason why we just don't let anybody come into the country without a legal process.
Its not just Conservatives in Texas. Remember Marthas Vineyard residents had the military come and kick immigrants out when they showed up
Good! If they wanna live here they can go through the legal process.
"I've had a migrant fall out of a tree and scare me in the morning, the only thing I thought of is 'Why don't I have my gun on me?'" I feel like there's a lot of steps of escalation between seeing someone fall out of a tree, and pulling a gun on them. This woman is actually insane.
Let’s be real though if someone climbs over your fence into your yard or breaks in your house…. What are you gonna do? She admitted she wouldn’t have shot him if she had a gun because he ran off… but what if he didn’t run off? What if he attacked her or broke in? I mean come on if people were falling over my back patio a couple times a week I’d be freaked out too .

I wonder how native Americans feel about this rhetoric as these people wax poetic about their country and border?

Give me a valid reason why natives should support migration? You can't come up with one....
My parents are both Mexicans. They immigrated to the US when they were young and I was born here. Despite being successful, they have never forgotten their roots and never let me stray from my familial culture. They have the greatest sympathies for these migrants.
Immigrants are taking over nationwide, mostly Latin Immigrants. You white people allowed them to flood into the nation. Now you opened a pandora box.
My parents are immigrants as well, but that does not mean all hispanics should not just be welcomed with open arms in the US. They need to be vetted and bring value to the US.
I'm Asian and when I raised my right hand to defend the Constitution, I knew it was NOT the Asian constitution. I speak and write English. I am American and I defended (Vet) American values - not Asian values. If I immigrated to another country, for example Afghanistan, should I force the culture to accept my American culture and shove it down their throats?
@@byun1119 so since youre parents made it nobody else has the right to change their future!! U made your choice 🤷🏽♂️

So we’re your forefathers when they came over and decided to forget this land wasn’t yours. Remember you burned the Indians for it
Blake northern southern and all the corporations lobbying Washington and sending politicians to private trips around the world (including the Russian and Chinese ones) for both parties rather than immigrants lol. This country is a corruption mess that is becoming the same as a South American government and it’s not the Indians at fault!! Seems all political parties and all Americans are blind to their own downfall
Can I ask another question. Why do people assume that everyone's parents or grandparents were illegal in El Paso? That's not the case as far as I know. I think the younger generation thinks it is because that's how things are now.
😂😂😂😂😂Hell Paso has been flooded with thousands of illegals for many years!!!!!
Because that is where the media puts the focus on. Now Chinese Migrants are the biggest group coming in the USA borders. Not enough information is on that.
I’m embarrassed by my own people. The hypocrisy is astounding.
It be your own people smh!!
So throw open the borders and let everyone in? At some point you have to realize yes, hispanics also want to preserve their way of live and there is nothing hypocritical about that.
Yes, it's amazing that democrats won't help veterans yet help CRIMINALS INSTEAD!!
@@johnsonpaul1808 I believe OP is referring to these immigrants being hypocritical by advocating against other immigrants, the specifics don’t really matter.

How are these people not embarrassed 😭
They dont follow the "you're not supposed to think like this you're Latino" ideology.
Because they are delusional.
Because they have not an ounce of shame and everything THEY DO is always right. Nothing they do is wrong apparently.
ALOT OF THEM ARE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS ... that may have Spanish surnames . Remember Texas used to be Mexican territory . The border was moved by the USA and the one day they were Mexican ,and the next dayAmericans.

Burglars want better lives. That is why they go into other people's homes to take a share of the stuff that the residents have worked hard to pay for. The first white immigrants into the Americas didn't sail into a country that had power stations, dams, roads, ports etc. They didn't sail into a society that had health care, education and welfare systems, to get the benefit of the effort and investment of other people's ancestors. Modern migrants are like burglars.
Maybe there parents shouldn't have kids if their country is that terrible.
If you don't live in a border town sit this one out
@@getit7107 that's exactly what the colonizers thought when the other white Europeans came over 400 years later. Notice that I said white Europeans, because there is no continent on Earth that doesn't have people of all different skin tones.

Why do people keep having babies if their life sucks so bad? No one thinks about what they’re doing before they do it and then make it someone else’s problem
You are right, I really don't understand, especially poor people when they have kids, even though they can't even find food for themselves. But some of them are accidents. Accident only happens ones tho.
I think most migrants are under the assumption that having a baby born in US will entitle them to legal immigration status.

@@abdiganiadenThis comment made me laugh harder than it should've. I just imagine two illegals complaining over how they have more rights here than another illegal. Just...😂😂😂.
To immigrate illegally? They’re a vessel to spew the beliefs of an entire group. Anyone with half a brain can understand why people immigrate illegally due to their unbearable with life back home, and the other part of it that is exploited by violent criminals who make all of this so much difficult for the ones in need, and who want to immigrate the right way. It’s a broken system, many Don’t have a choice, but it doesn’t make illegal immigration completely OK. Just understandable for the ones that have no choice but to die where they come from, and are willing to live in life that is productive and peaceful for the ones around them
The next generation of immigrants are a little too dark for them
Sounds like the English, the Germans, Dutch, Italian, Greek, Irish... the last one being stepped on and despised by those previous. "do it the right way" like your parents did? these are the same types that would claim "spanish" iinstead of Mexican or Meztizo blood. fucking unreal.

Do people really expect the USA to take in everybody? Serious question. If the entire world wanted to enter are people ok with that? Not being mean-spirited..I just want people's thoughts.
Per capita the US is not even close to doing "their part". Im not saying there arent consequences that needs seeing to when taking in large numbers of refugees/immigrants, but we have SUBURBS actually helping more ppl than the entire US has, during for example the war in syria. And we have a population of ~10 million country wide.
Currently in NYC alone immigrants are receiving 364.00 per day per family. Thats 2,548.00 per wk . or 10,192.00 per mo. and we have life long citizens trying to live on 1300.00 per mo. WRONG WRONG WRONG
I am Mexican, and when I went to Texas a couple years ago I was afraid to be mistreated by the infamously racist white Texans. Sadly, the only people that mistreated me were "latinos" who obviously had internalized the reject against their own ethnicity. I must say that not everyone was like that, but I honestly think that it is just sad that those people believe that replicating those fear and hate rhetorics they will somehow whiten and be accepted by their fellow countrymen.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Sadly is our own “Latinos” with that fear mongering and ignorance. It’s just so damn sad.
Exactly!! They are parroting those who they somehow see as their "betters", in the misguided hope that those "betters" will leave them alone in return.
Colorism. And class prejudice. You know its rampant in Latin America. You know in Mexico the "white" Mexicans (las fresas- my heritage is Spaniard or German or whatever) look down on indigenous Mexicans, and barely acknowledge that there are Afro-Mexicanos. But more broadly regionally, Mexicans in general are on the low end of the totem pole among all Latinos, with Argentinians thinking they are the creme of the crop. The irony is funny and sad.
This makes me incredibly sad. Not only for your mistreatment at the hands of those you trusted. But for the dysfunctional self-oppressive psychology which governs those peoples' lives. What a hellish way to live.

Immigrants calling immigrants illegal is crazy 😂
I am first generation and I battle with being pro and against illegal immigration, one one hand it is illegal and it should be done legally and on the other hand my parents came here illegally and thanks to President Reagan were able to become citizens. Living in California you see what massive influx of illegal immigration does to communities, go to LA and it doesn’t look like the US anymore, some neighborhoods look worse than a lot of third world countries, people come here and they don’t assimilate to the American culture, pride, etc.
TEXAS is the same way too!
A littl3 fun fact America is called a melting pot for a reason. Also they have the right not to assimilate to the American way. I was born in Illinois and I don't wave the American flag proudly because how America negatively treats people. Also in the public I dont partipate in singing the national anthem or any American partiatic song due to how America treats its own people let alone people who aren't born here. Also not all illegal immigrants want to come here illegally yet mmay times people have to be a resident of a state in order to be considered to apply for citizenship
Oh well , y’all are getting the La Raza that you wanted ….I won’t live to see it but in 100 years america will be just like Mexico
9 months later but I know so many people in the process of becoming legal and there are a ton of hurdles to jump. Was it easier to become a citizen during Reagan? Yes , so STFU, it’s not as easy as applying. Fucking poche

As a 2 gen Mexican American from ELP I will say with full depressed confidence their grandparents will probably be in the same side as their kids. My parents have anti immigration views and same with my grandparents who were the ones who immigrated here. The thing is I feel like once you cross that wall you kick down that ladder you used to cross to prevent anyone else from coming up and trying to take your slice of the American pie. The difference is my brother and I grew up in a military household and spent most of our lives away from El Paso and saw the world and what treasures it could bring to the US, these people in El Paso are stuck in their own little bubble, ignorant and unaware of what other cultures can offer..
I'll bet these are the same people that go to Mexico for cheaper medical dental treatments n walk around like there farts don't stink looking down on people in Mexico moronic entitled fools
Unfortunately some Mexicans love to bring each other down and I’m speaking from experience.
@@dieselbaby it’s not about what “other cultures offer” it’s about doing the humanitarian and (what use to be)real American values of letting people coming over and making a path of their own. It’s very funny hearing this mentally from what is most likely an Anglo-Saxon, which is as big as an immigrant as any brown folk that you don’t like. And for the drug issue, the real problem is drug consumption and the lack of importance is has on American politics regardless of how many continue to die due to the opioid crisis. In short the problem is supply and demand, and yt Americans are more busy trying to use brown people as scapegoats then actually stopping the problem at home, but you wouldn’t understand that since it doesn’t “benefit” your agenda lmfaooo
@@dominicgutierrez3568 well said brother
I live in Texas, I’m a blue collar worker and I’m pretty conservative; I personally don’t feel threatened by immigrants. But - listening to this woman try to guilt people for using words that properly describe what they’re experiencing makes me slap my forehead. I’m not saying she’s evil or anything, but people like this feel the need to police the language of others because they view others as being unable to think with any nuance in response to information.
As someone from Pakistan who has many Respectable Legal US and Canada immigrants in their family, I agree with you sir!
But she provides real life examples of how those words had real time consequences in the form of mass shootings. Furthermore, trying to say there's an issue of "people viewing others being unable to think with any nuance in response to information" only highlights the fact that said "others" never took their actions into consideration regarding how it could negatively affect others and coming up with a BS excuse to justify it.
If your blue collar your job is at risk the most.
At one time, Mexico felt the same way when Texas belonged to them and the gringos started moving in
It was pretty much Mexico's land, before it was annexed by the US. Sadly, that's not mentioned much.
Almost every very very comfortable families I know in the wealthiest area on both west and east coast who are republicans hire illegal immigrants as maids, as gardeners, to do handyman work and even nanny’s. They pay them so much less than they would have to pay a white nanny or gardener. So it’s only “using illegal immigrants for ME but not FREE illegal immigrants for thee”.
Precisely.
Show me a white American who will do any of those jobs and I'll show you a drug dealer who pays their taxes. It doesn't justify illegal immigration which every country should stop. It's absolutely nothing to do with racism however much the woke activists want everything to be. There is no point having any border if it is not defended and respected.

@@tashvadj4914 I agree about illegal immigration. Our laws are seriously ineffective it appears. I don't have any ideas about how to deal with masses of people showing up at our borders, but I am willing to listen to any real suggestions. I don't find the "remain in Mexico" thing a serious solution because look what this has done to Mexican border towns! They have been turned into areas of squalor, full of people complaining about how they are 'having to live' when they are the ones who chose to be there, which angers me as well. Legal immigration is more than an asset to our country, but illegal immigration is a serious no for me. We need to know who's here.
These people are hypocrites. It’s very expensive to come here legally, it’s not a choice for everyone fleeing terrible violence.
The US is allowed to control its borders and enforce its immigration laws just like every other country on planet earth does.
Fix your own country!
Yep. I'm friends with a lot of Latin Americans, most of whom were middle and even upper class in their countries of origin.
Fleeing terrible violence ends after you cross into the neighboring country, not after crossing multiple countries.

@@jdeljones this is all about policy and ideology. You have to think about it as a religion. These parties in the USA rarely do what they campaign under. And many of them have power envy. They’ll blame less socially, or economically advantaged people because they want to feel powerful.
"you have to do it the right way" - that's the point, you can't do it the right way. There aren't enough immigration judges for all of the asylum seekers to ensure a speedy trial. Many of these people wait two to as many as five years for a proper hearing. Use whatever euphemisms you want to dehumanize these people, whatever helps you sleep at night.
also, they don't think that "the right way" includes "legally admitted under laws made by democrats or RINOs"
What really need is for our government to fund and build facilities to allow for more immigration Rather then acting like Americans acting like their families didn't originally start out in a different country. The ignorance shown towards the history of American immigrants is ridiculous.
Since the UN Convention on Refugees was first signed, the world's population has tripled. Asylum seekers always seem to come from places in the world where the people have failed to restrain their reproduction as white people have done. Asylum claims are a massive imposition on the people of countries who have limited the size of their own families. All those countries that have kept their own families to two children per woman on average, should ditch the UN Convention immediately. Assistance to refugees should be solely in the form of education for women and girls and contraception in a form that they can use.
You CAN do it. I know many people who have.

Would you let any of the people that just crossed the border in to your neighborhood without venting them??? Since the biden administration that's what's has been happening. They even took a bus load of immigrants to a democratic party leaders neighborhood (people that voted for less restrictive immigration laws) and guess what they did? They turned them away and sent them else where.

Migrants as well as Hispanics that are U.S. citizens are America's economic backbone. Alabama years ago sent a lot of migrants back to Central America. When they did that the Alabama economy started to go down within days. So to keep their economy from going down even more, Alabama decided to bring back the migrants.

The correct term is "pick me" energy lol
It’s interesting how many citizens that migrated from a different countries don’t want others to do the same, even if it is legally. Listening to these men and women. It really is fear, and fear is valid to a point, but fear will eventually make you the fool.
Well it’s dangerous in those countries they leave and they can’t do it legally because doing it legally with the USA is nearly impossible now days , that’s why they just do it any ways, especially when death is high there because of the cartels
Why would they. Trash knows trash .

Fear must be a huge factor, much of what is said by these ppl in their interviews is nonsensical and contradictory. Foolish is probably a fair assessment too. Pretty f'ing sad. Nevermind that Texas was taken from Mexico 🙄
The "haves" have been telling some version of "just do it the right way" to the "have nots" to keep the lower classes.. lower, for centuries. Slavery through the illusion of upward mobility.
My issue with all of this illegal invasion by all of these ppl is that they are not coming here with a plan of where to live and how they will support themselves while waiting for their immigration status to be resolved. They come here expecting us, taxpayers, to provide them with shelter, food, and money. I pay enough taxes as it is, and I cannot afford to keep paying more and more.
Vice you got the title wrong it’s “illegal immigrants” not “immigrants”
I remember the days when we had some brains left and emphasized the difference between illegal aliens and legal immigrants and not to conflate them
As a Mexican American who served in the military. I’m embarrassed do this ppl believe that they would be in this country if the laws were so aggressive 40 years ago. Most of them would be coming to this country illegally to escape some bad situations.
Most illegals fly across the border and just let visas expire. The difference is, they're not Latino

What happened to legal immigration???
What pisses me off with this left vs right take on immigration is that it's exceedingly rare to find anyone talking about WHY illegal immigration seems to be the only option for millions of people. What about the lives of so many in Haiti, Central and South America is so irreconcilably difficult that they choose to leave everything they know and risk their lives to come to the US?? If more people (media outlets) took an honest look at the history of those countries, I think we would have a more objective discussion on (il)legal immigration in the US.
Or why the process to get in legally could take so much time and money
Exactly!
And how the US played a key role in destroying their land to begin with
That's a short simply conversation...."politics"
Or why they don't just move to another Latin American country.
The migrants have no standing to go before any US Court once they violate our law and cross illegally. They cannoteven file a lawsuit if the are in a overcrowded jail or holding area. The do not have clean hands. The unclean hands doctorin doesn't allow it. US Activist lawyers file them in violation of this act and the Courts have forgotten about this Act. Lawyer Activist should be disbarred for filing lawsuits knowing the legally have no standing. Because the courts have forgotten about this law, doesn't mean the lawyers haven't forgotten. In their interview, or applications, if they crossed illegally, they cannot file for anything . The Court can end any applications or lawsuit at the beginning. All those old backlogged cases and applications are really worthless and are fraudulent. They should clean them out and shut down all request. We then need to retro suspend birth rights citizenship..
You can't call people illegal when your own accent is THAT thick. She wants everyone to know she's "one of the good ones".

I think its more the fact that these hispanic americans got their documentations legally and went through all the work to do it the "correct" way, whereas those crossing illegally are not doing it the same way they did it. I am not saying either group is right or wrong as this is an incredibly complex topic, but I can see the viewpoints from both sides.

Woah the self-hatred of this people is just too crazy. My family moved to Spain and then later on to UK, I'm gonna be honest they came legally as tourists, to then illegally overstay their visas. At the time if you wanted to come for pleasure you had to prove that you had big amounts of money to support yourself and that you were not coming to stay, you had to prove that you were coming as just tourists. My parents could have tried doing it the "right way" but according to them applying for residency and all the bureaucracy was just too overwhelming for just the two barely literate Ecuadorian farmers that my parents were. 1st generation citizens like this don't really understand how hard it is to apply for citizenship when you don't have money and the connections to do so.

They could not hear that everyone has a right to ask for asylum, immediately rolled into the claim that immigrants disappear after arriving. There was a very successful pilot program done by our government wherein the clients were properly notified of appearance dates and had access to legal representation. Virtually all of them showed up repeatedly, even though most of the asylum cases were refused and they were ordered deported. And I seriously doubt an immigrant fell from a tree and scared that woman.
Also if we put money towards dealing with the asylum seekers (such as hiring more judges) we could get them processed sooner. That would give people less of a chance to "disappear" and be cheaper and safer. But why would conservatives do something to save taxpayers money and make the country safer when they can use it to fearmonger and get themselves more power and money.
If you're seeking asylum you go to the first country at their port of entry and do that.
Just because you show up, you DON'T have a right to stay!! Tell your friends to go to a legal port, or call a lawyer INSTEAD OF A COYOTE!!
Since the UN Convention on Refugees was first signed, the world's population has tripled and it isn't the developed countries that have been breeding like rabbits. It is time for all those countries who have restrained their own fertility to two children per woman, or fewer, to ditch the Convention. Every asylum claim is a massive imposition on the people who have reproduced at a responsible level.
@@jaybird2791 You do have the right to ask for asylum and have your day in court. Not everyone has the time, ability, or money to go to a legal port when they are fleeing for their lives. It can take months, maybe years, if you know your abusive spouse was going to kill you, or a gang was going to murder your family you'd cross illegally too. I know I would. The immigrants waiting in detention are waiting for their court to decide whether they can stay or not. If we improved the process and got the amount of judges we needed we could expedite the process and it would be a lot cheaper then housing them in dentition. But then the private companies running the detention centers wouldn't make as much profit, and the politicians wouldn't get as many "campaign donations" or get to rile up their voters about the "dangerous illegals".
