I remember when my dad told me that about 24 years ago, in 1997 when he was 16, he left Michoacan, Mexico at AGR 16 and i cannot imagine go to a whole different country at a young age but at 1st he had nothing now he has 2 nice houses, 4 great cars, and a beautiful family
theultimateninja you can't generalize. Mexicans treat their fellow Latinos nicely. They even go as far as to help. But the cartels are the ones attacking them. But if you do your research these cartels that attack aren't just Mexican Latinos, they're members are from all sorts of Latin countries. So really it's latinos attacking Latinos in general.
Wesly Stanton Mexico Is a war zone because of all the drug cartels,they attack civilians for no reason ,my people cross for a better life for them and for there kids,and believe me I know,a lot of people I know crossed illegally
thank you for being so kind to my people. That shows not all mexicans have cold hearts. Can you imagine if Americans took mexicans crossing the U.S. border and chopped them into pieces. Im sure it would hurt to hear that as a mexican. So thank you for supporting them.
Lady Glitter Sparkles Buddy, Mexicans aren’t cold hearted people. If anything, Central Americans don’t like the Mexican people, especially Guatemalans and Salvadorans.
@@ladyglittersparkles86 It's fucked up how you bunch up all Mexican's as cold hearted just because of a few bad apples. Yes we do have cold hearted criminals but so does any other country, evil know's no border it is rooted deep in the soul of the individual. Us Mexican's will give you our shirt off our back. Please don't judge us all as bad people.
Migration has been happening since beginning of human times. When different economic areas exist it will never stop. Even inside the US there is migration. People in the south gets hired in the north. People in the north gets tired of the snow and flee to the south. Migration is part of the human essence it will never will go away
Hey I know you! I saw you in that Vice video about Guatelamas crimes and you saving people! I will never forget the things you've done. Keep doing a GREAT JOB! :)
Story of my mom's life. My mom wasn't a sex worker but it's true that she walked on foot from Nicaragua to get here. With two sons by her side, im proud to say she's a brave woman who has overcome the most dangerous obstacles she could ever face in her life.
We are always talking shit in US about letting people over here. When that's what America is. And if you have something against people coming here from other countries then our government needs to stop going to their countries using resources and outsourcing jobs. ^_^ how about them apples?
Curly Crown Corporations are the ones who move their business elsewhere. Our government doesn't exactly have any real say in where they go or what they do...
Umbreus Sabre government is a corporation. What do you think the bank bailout was. Some friendly assistance? We cant still be as trusting as we once were when we were like 12 of this establishment man.
Curly Crown There's a difference between is and controlled by. Nobody trusts the government, but the people in those positions don't call the shots. The president isn't telling the CEO of Apple to send jobs over to China, is he?
i really don't know why i scrolled down to the comments when i knew what i was gonna find but really just ignore it, youtube comments are a cespool, we might just pretend it's not there
Kane Pyrovifo The United states has a long history of intervening in other nations; in the name of democracy, they manipulate affairs and ravage nations to their benefit. If you want people out your country, keep out of theirs!
yes true but i have an issue with illegals of all nationalities comming here not paying taxes getting welfare .. that we us citezins have to pay taxes for. if u want to come here do it legal. my dad came to the us from jamaca. no money education etc. he came legal never took welfare worked as a janitor and got his us citizenship went to law schools became an attorney...so he did it right fuck illegals if they do not come here right
Wheres the logic in having a family if you can't provide for them in the first place? Shouldn't you first secure a good job then start a family? Seems like a bullshit excuse to me
For all of you saying that it's hypocritical that Mexico has a border or immigration laws but then has Mexicans coming over let me tell you that a country has to have immigration laws wether they're followed or not. For Mexico, they don't fallow the laws, it's easy to come into Mexico illegally with like $10 USD. And Mexico's border is like a backyard fence. It really isn't the same. And on top of that many other Latin Americans can easily become legal citizens of Mexico. They just choose not to. Which is why they end up having to bribe the police officers.
Mexico's immigration policies are tough. Why are they being so bad to immigrants when Mexican immigrants are treated so good in the United States. So ironic.
+Alvaro Egas I stayed 4 hours over my visitor's pass in Tijuana thanks to my car breaking down. I was arrested and thrown in jail for 5 days for being an illegal visitor. My 1 day visit turned into 6 days of living hell. I will never go back to that shithole country again.
Actually mexico is a filter to the U.S. Migrants don't want to stay in mexico. Some are forced to if they cannot make it, some can't even get to mexico. Be glad that mexico has tough laws.
I'm a mexican 22 year old middle class guy. I live in Mexico City however I have had the oportunity of living in Canada for 3 years. When I watched this vid and kinda tried to put myself in the perspective of lots of immigrants, I asked myself if I have been spending my life in this terrenal life. The girl never met her mom, the guy that got deported from the States and has a daughter, the other 4/6 that doesn't make it to their final destination. I mean, there has to be something I can do. Man, this video really made me think of volunteering with Solalinde father.
the best thing you could do whilst in Mexico City is help people who have been sent back from the USA, they will have no food, money, no place to rest or sleep, etc. You could help people keep in touch with families in the USA still by providing ways of communication, etc. Think outside the box, you dont need to help people become citizens by any means!
My mother was 16 when she decided to leave her home in Central America due to the poverty she was living and also the abuse she went through. She was not allowed to cross the border if she allowed three men to rape her 😔 and it’s also sad to know that most of the women that come from Central America have t do those things in order to get money or get across. the root that my mom took was really dangerous and most of the people who she road with didn’t make it and some got sick and jumped off the train..her story of how she got here really traumatized me and it’s also heartbreaking
Only Countries that would last a chance are probably Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, anything else would be dust within an hour of a U.S.-Latin American War.
Excellent video. One of the best I've seen on u tube. Gave me a view of the world I would have never seen. Don't have the guts to go down and see it myself.
Wow. They are seriously packed on that train. Imagine, that is one just train load on one trip. How many more people are there trying to get to the state from all over Mexico and Latin America? That's a lot.
I hope all you honest workers make it to the United States. If you work this hard to reach a place then you deserve to live here as much as those who were born in the U.S. I was lucky enough to migrate from El Salvador to the U.S in a legal manner. Fortunately, I was bless and I want to thank God, my step dad, mom and all my entire family for helping me reach a goal that I never wanted to reach. As a child growing up in El Salvador, I didn't dream/thought of coming to the US. Now that I am here, I realize that a dream that I never dreamt of has become reality.
Angel Velasco the is a perfectly legal way to enter America and a perfectly legal way to stay. legal immigrants from all countries realize this dream and work hard to obtain that dream, they appreciate that dream because of the work they put in to it. they respect the rich heritage of America and they respect our laws because they love the life they live here. God bless the person who can legally realize the American dream
Angel Velasco yeah... buddy, i immigrated legally, i pay taxes, i work hard and have nothing to show for it. Everyone wants money, no one gives it, and you are telling illegals that make my life more expensive are welcome? Get a grip!
I loved this documentary and the information it has shared to the public but I really hope that for future video/documentaries the translations are better interpreted at 18:09 “illegal” was used when he stated being “undocumented” in Spanish. illegal and undocumented are two completely different words, for most POC in the US using the term “illegal” is very offensive. Not trying to bring down the doc. just trying to inform :) I really like watching vice videos.
As a mexican I can say that we're not all racist against central americans but what I do see that bothers me is when they pretend to be mexican, and so we're the ones that get blamed for everything....
oscar gutierrez you should tell your people to stay in your country as well. Go on, give me a whole story of a millions of Americans immigrating into your country. I'll wait.......fucking hypocrite.
"Some Ruin it for all" THATS EXACTLY how I feel. Its BS that we are not given the opportunity to prove we are good citizens of this great nation. Also I see your point maybe implement some sort of system to check how much aid they have been given and if they have paid taxes and also have no crimes only then should they qualify.
i can suddenly feel their problems, i hope USA legalize them to be citizens but the US government knows nothing of their difficult lives but rather deporting them and telling they we're illegals and criminal that doesn't deserve a place in USA but if those people who works in the US government going to be in their place they would understand their situation what is it really like to feel about
Im extremely lucky, born into the higher class in Mexico, able to go anywhere in the world legaly, ability to learn new things any day, no disease or mental problems. I wished a lot of people would be as grateful as I am, because most people have to claw their way around life.
My girlfriend had to go through this with her family from El Salvador. I honestly think it gives me more of an appreciation for her and everything I have. I like to spoil the heck out of her. A lot of them are very hard working.
God , just reading some people in comment section you realize why Trump is president. I have a mix of emotions, Im happy that Trump won just to satisfy my sadistic pleasures but also sad and dissapointed for good people over there and my fellow countrymen struggling everyday against racist guys. I guess US need to learn a lesson in the "bad way" to turn again normal. Good luck next 4/8 years, if Canada is full you are welcome in Mexico as the rest of our latin brothers.
***** Dumb ass bitch stop thinking only about your self and start thinking.about everyone else on this planet that should have the freedom to control their own lives.
oh sorry you must be mistaking. I am not Latino lol. I am british/irish background from Toronto Canada. So i wouldn't want to live in the us and lose the even more freedoms here rofl. So stfu nerd
+Mauro Diaz that wont happen cuz mexico and central america are pretty much at the same level. so unless mexico gets a miracle from god and becomes industrialized from night to the morning then yea,
well thank you very much. And I very much agree with you on that point. I've given up. I should have never have tried in the first place seeing how such arguments never lead to anyone ever changing their mind.
I think we should welcome those that make it to the U.S. I support Obama's amnesty for immigrants. And I know most everybody is against me on this, But we should share what we have here. Luv thy neighbor...
Samuel Perez I grew up in California, Worked in the fields side by side with Mexican Immigrants. They are the nicest most thoughtful caring individuals on the planet. All my best friends were immigrants or second generation, Never could you meet a more forgiving, Loving family orientated people. So quick to adopt you as one of there own. Including there family members that don't even know you, So quick to share what little they have with you. If you don't know Mexican's this way, I am very sorry you missed out in knowing and loving them, And being known loved by them. I have never felt so accepted by any other race including my own, Which is 'American Heinz 57'... My family line fought in every American war, And we fought for the north in the civil dispute...
as a mexican i tired of Americans saying " all illegals immigrants come from mexico " when is this people that come to USA because usa allows them to stay legally just ask your friend from central american what NACARA is. yes USA gives legal residency tho this poeple and then cry later that the country is full of illegals. you create laws and refuge migration laws that are being abuse by people that come from central American countries and just fuel illegal immigration. it blows my mind that americans dont even know that the own government has laws that lure illegals to come to usa. american media lies and say that all people come from mexico that is not truth mexico is being invade by illegals too and crime as increase because many of this immigrants come to work for cartels. that is the truth.
meow23 most people against illegal immigration like me understand they come from all over but they all bottle neck into Mexico and that's why we tend to blame Mexico
My grandmother immigrated to the U.S. in 1918 legally with her family, and she raised a family that loves this nation. It is hard for me as a 2nd generation mexican American, because I am a veteran of my nation, for my people, the American people. However, my mother grew up 1st generation American as a migrant worker in W. Texas, Ok, Ark, and has only an 8th grade education. She made it her life's mission that I would be educated and have the true "American dream". My grandmother will always be the greatest woman I will ever know, but we cannot allow thousands, millions of undocumented aliens to enter this nation. I understand their conditions, I have seen such things in Europe and overseas first hand. I grew up on the AFDC programs myself, although poverty in the U.S. is NOTHING when you go to Central America, south Mexico, the Phillipines, India, etc. Nothing. NONE of our poor know poverty like those people know poverty, only our homeless. My opinion on it is this: We cannot afford to be the welfare state of the world, we just cannot. We have the right to our borders, we are a sovereign nation. If we just walked into Mexico and said you know what, you will now take all of our homeless and poor, good luck with that!! They would have a problem with it and would be like WT Heck are you talking about...yet they expect US to take in all of their poor, to give assistance to their women who DO tend to have alot of babies. Its a fact, I come from a mexican American family lol, im one of 28 first cousins. We have babies, let me tell you lol. And we are expected to accept wave after wave of destitute, when we have our OWN destitute, the inner cities, LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, Appalacia. We have to care for us first. I see this woman, and I see my great-grandparents who took their family across the bridge into Texas. But they did it the right way, and there is no other way around that.
Mi corazón me he compartido con todos los martes los migrantes que están haciendo su camino a una vida mejor. y todos de los problemas que tienen que pasar a vivir y trabajar en la tierra de las oportunidades. soy de San Diego, California y estoy blanco, ustedes son mis hermanos y hermanas, y te sentirás como si fueras mi propio.
You know, no matter what anyone says people entering the US from Mexico should really just work for actual citizenship. I am not against them coming here, my family came from Poland in 1902 and Luxembourg in 1840, so I know that immigration is important, but they should really at least attempt to get actual citizenship. It's not really that hard, I have plenty of friends who have gotten legitimate citizenship.
i totally agree with you, but it is a lot fucking harder for mexicans or most latin americans to get citizenship than it ever was for european immigrants. i have a friend whos mom is from mexico, and has been here and worked here for more than 20 years and is barely able to start her process into getting her citizenship. everyone who comes tries to become citizens, but for whatever reason they dont hand citizenship out to people from latin america (unless theyre political refugees, but this doesnt apply to many people, especially not mexicans) like they do for other immigrants. so what really needs to happen is better immigration policies for these people, it would solve a lot of the problems were seeing because of this
I agree with you 100%, the issue is that trying to get citizenship while in another country is even harder then trying to get your citizenship when you're in the US! Did you know that you have to pay around $800 alone just to apply for citizenship? Then you have a long waiting period until your case is reviewed. Then if your case is approved you will have either 2 or 3 chances to take a test. The test is basic US history and culture, which would be easy for those who went to school here, but the people taking the test never even finished high school! Let alone learn US history. And the things I just stated is just the process for the people living here, who knows what people applying outside of the US have to go through. It's really not as easy as it seems.
Martin Ibarra Yes Martin. It's an expensive ordeal...but then again we're talking about the capitalist center of the globe (and now China)...but why not? The benefits are clear and I believe political power (aka the vote) is important for the future of any country.
This is sad imagine all the children's seeing their parents leaving them and them wondering if they ever going to see their mom and dad. This was painful to watch I stoped in the middle. God help Mexico.
My mother came from Honduras 20 years ago. It's a very hard journey, she spent most of the journey walking imagine that shit. Walking 2/3 from Honduras to Texas!
ahmed alrish You see "the light" when you die. So you were basically saying that you're going to blow yourself up on the plane on the way to US. "Why" that's not a question for me.... it's a question for you
My father came to the US from Guatemala. He went to Syracuse and is now a manager in a high up position in an insurance company. My uncle from Guatemala sells weather stations and his wife is a lawyer. My other uncle works for DHL. My last uncle makes over a million $ a year doing multiple jobs. I highly guaranteed that my house and all of their houses are bigger than yours. I'm not saying that we're necessarily better than you, but just know that not everyone from Latin America is trash.
I thought that lady at the beginning was the reporter, never would have guessed she was working in that brothel. How I would love to buy a home for her and her kids to get out of that place...
Your comment are funny from my arabs/french point of view The American xenophobe offends the immigrants Mexican The Mexican xenophobe offends the central american immigrants (Guatemala,Honduras & co) The central americain offends betwen them... That is the way it is everywhere and that's it our world
Not too many years ago when I lived in Arizona, It was made known that the border people wanted to make things more efficient by clearing the trees along the border in the Huachuca mt.s between the city of Nogales and Fort Huachuca. A friend and I camped and cut firewood just a few yard north of the line. A the time the news was full of the trouble the Border Patrol was having stopping smuggling and illegal entry there. We could harvest firewood at a very low price to clear the area. We expected to see officers every day, heliocoptrers, etc. We saw no one. We hauled pickup loads of firewood to Tucson every week, and one day as we were changing a flat a tire a federal truck came diving up and jokingly, asked if we had any drugs under all that wood. We laughed and told them if they wanted to look under that wood they would have to load and unload it themselves. They declined. At that time of my life I had a minor drug record, and my friend had been a green beret Sargent who had trained troops on manuevers at Fort Huachuca. Not once in those weeks did we see a plane go over, or a Gov. vehicle go by. There was no sensors, fence, or anything to mark the border. This was when the big fence was supposed to be going in. Remember? Mexicans are fine honorable people and were here first too. This is more than I can say for our lying cheating government. Satan is alive and well in Washington DC.
These poor people, pushed to such dramatic action by unforgiving conditions. If America would focus more of scientific advances and schooling, they could abandon oil in favor of nuclear and renewable energies [an exceedingly difficult transition], create more efficient medical facilities and better service, and a host of other beneficial things. This would help stabilize the economy, and better education would inspire students to help such unfortunates.
you can always set an example and allow them to live with you, give them a place to live, feed them, and turn over your day to day livelihood.. Just to show you are sincere.
These are some hard working people. Too bad they can't get in legally. It is awesome that America remains so great that even with a 'bad economy' it is the best place to live...I'm grateful!
México should let immigrants in and convince them to stay, so they can do the lower paying jobs, and build the mexican society. Just like our northern neighbor.
aCynicalName very xenophobic comment, but it's for our country's interest since they could pick up trash, build houses and maintain our country for low pay meanwhile Mexicans can study and innovate to bring money to our shores.
No matter what country you were born in if you cant make it there or it is to dangerous to live just stop having babies. Problem solved. People that can provide for a family without committing crimes against others and other countries can have the babies.
Please fellow Mexicans, let us not fight our Central American brothers, instead let us walk together in harmony and help each other out. I know some Central Americans hate Mexicans, but that is because they go through hell at the hands of Mexican criminals and those gangs that call themselves the police. I'd also like to extend this call to the Central Americans who blindly hate Mexicans on account of a few of our misbehaved brothers. Please do not let these criminals represent all Mexicans. In reality both of us, Mexicans and Central Americans, are both fleeing the violence and economic instability of our native lands so let us not hate one another because as Latinos we should be united not divided.
Mirquella Santos Thank you so much. It honestly hurts me to see my people and Central Americans so blindly hate one another. I see this as a product of the ignorance and poverty both our peoples endure. We must be accepting and respectful of each other as well as be willing to work together in order for all of us to progress.
Wages at the bottom haven't risen and this is one of the reasons, a major one for many industries. It also doesn't help here in many parts of SoCal, entire cities feel like being in Tijuana and you hear and see more Spanish than English. Many school districts and public working limited to those who don't speak Spanish with a general sense of being shunned if you don't in some places.
Every time I hear an American shouting racist abuse on the blogs I lol. You claim to be a Christian country but only so far as it doesn't affect your bottom line. I've been very fortunate to have travelled around central America and the states and both areas are full of wonderful people, rich in culture and united behind a common goal. Everyone just wants the chance to have a happy life, raise a family and look back on a good life. This attitude of looking down on the poorest and most vulnerable people is disgusting. Nationality is a worn out idea. Most people are poor, its just in relative terms. People lucky enough to be born on the right side of the line drawn by men hundreds of years ago should try to understand how fortunate they are. When we see our common humanity then maybe we can unite as a species. I live I hope... My girlfriend just called me dreamer.... but I'm not the only one ;)
You are totally clueless if you think the US is a Christian country or even claims to be. Our President more than decade ago made it clear that America is no longer a Christian nation. We spew more satanic filth than every other country in the world combined. Plenty of racist Mexicans but you choose to single out Americans only, I wonder why? Probably also ignorant of the fact that many of the racist comments here come from british people and such. Because guess what, racism is in EVERY country and this video is viewed all over the world.
i hate deportation my dad migrated and had me and my sister in the usa he got departed and now i cant see him that much anymore only way is by plane which is alot to travel to guatemala reply if you have a similar story :(
Ian Miranda yeah his own fault he chose to be born there just as you and i are better because we chose to be born in rich countries isn't life so simple and nice knowing that all those people are just worth less
KspreeTheUnicorn Considering that the more people = more disease, lessened wages, higher poverty, more environmental destruction, less room, less stability, less funding for science and arts and most importantly for your precious, innocent third worlders, less handouts and free shit and less time to fuck and shit out children. Your sarcasm is terrible.
Breaks my heart to see good hard working people separated from their families and sent back to Mexico. Why should we turn away people who want nothing more than to achieve the American dream and live with their families here and become citizens and pay taxes and put more money into our economy. I can understand why people would be afraid that the immigrants might take away jobs from Americans but they're not exactly working the best jobs. The jobs they're working in are ones that the overwhelming majority of Americans don't want anyway. Sending criminals back I can definitely understand but sending them back over anything less than a felony is completely unnecessary. People with family here especially shouldn't be sent back. No family should ever be separated.
BECAUSE they crossed illegally. It sucks that they lived in third world but they shouldn't be like losers. If we don't kick them out then we are encouraging more illegal immigration, which is illegal. This is a matter of principle and I would even advocate that the entire family be sent back so they aren't separated.
xp0lym4thx What do we have to gain by sending them back though? If they're going to work here and spend money here they're just helping our economy. It would make more sense to allow more of them to stay and achieve citizenship so they can start paying our taxes too and doing even more good for our economy. Immigration was what made this country great in the first place and discouraging it certainly isn't in our best interest no matter what some paranoid part of the population who thinks these immigrants will just be taking away our jobs might think. I guess what I'm saying isn't that we should just ignore the law but that the law shouldn't exist at all and we should just welcome these immigrants who help grow our economy rather than turn them away.
iamedge452 WOW you are crazy.You naively think that that illegals = contributing to economy, and we should just open up our borders for their entrance. The fact is that illegal immigration decreases wages for legal citizens,and illegal immigrants can create a "tax burden" on an economy by consuming a greater government services than they contribute in tax revenue (Fact: only few of them ACTUALLY pay).How the hell can they be spending money if they don't even have some? You didn't realize that most of them are just here to send their money back to wherever they originate. Your argument only works for rich foreigners. Fact: Immigration MUST be controlled. It's not like if foreign workers are prohibited to come in. In addition, they are useless. We need highly skilled immigrants (who actually contribute) but not scumbags who rely on illegal means to achieve what they want. Tim Z lol yeah, because mexican government absolutely thinks that mexico is a place for Americans to dump their trash.
I love Latinos. I think they deserve to stay in the US, I mean they go through a lot just to get here, anyone who's willing to risk their lives to get to USA should be allowed to stay. I mean it's kinda unfair that all Latinos can't get amnesty but the Cuban Latinos get to just come right on over.
A few things: -College isn't that expensive, my local university is 3k a semester for a full time student -There are a shit ton of loan opportunities, and most student loans don't even have interest -Tech schools are even cheaper than colleges, can be completed faster, and can land jobs that are 4-5x the minimum wages -lastly and most importantly, COLLEGE IS NOT A GUARANTEED JOB. If you decide to major in history, good luck finding a job
Mexican came to usa to have a better life and the Mexican parents want their son have a better to like their parents take their son to school to studied learn new thing its just like yall America partners its the same thing have a better life see their sons pass college education some mexican are bad they came America to sell drugs my parents are good because they take me to America to have me a better life like find job , have a better family , and a good house. im In 5th grade now im about to be in 6th grade now you see why Mexican partners want their children to have good life yall dont understand but you can believe some of them sell drugs.
We should move to the new world order and socialism to balance wealth, natural resources and reduce political corruption, racism, illegal trade and other crimes and give everybody a decent job, car and modest house. Elect Bernie Sanders 2016.
I'd also like to point out that schooling is not a substitute for things like -showing up to work on time -wearing clean clothes -being polite -doing the job that is asked of you -working overtime if needed Theres plenty of people with degrees that have personal problems that are preventing them from achieving steady employment
Why don't we Americans just seal off our borders so that Central Americans don't have to risk their lives trying to get across ours? Also, I require a fairly large amount of space to feel content and I feel like there are many others that feel the same way. Just think, how many people search real estate online my sq. feet. Wouldn't allowing more immigrants legal or illegal be counter intuitive to our comfort. I once visited DC and witnessed first hand what row housing is. I immediately moved all the way to Alaska just because it is the least likely state to ever adopt this. Think about your descendants. Most likely they will have considerable less room to live in comfort. They may also end up mixed as well. Say goodbye to space and purity. You can thank yourselves for standing idle and watching it happen. I hope you're happy.
***** I don't know, I haven't been back to Berkeley, California in almost 20 years. I assume you are speaking of where I'm from. FYI the Congo is in Africa genius...
***** Well first off, I am a citizen born and raised. Second, anyone with access to the internet can see exactly what happened in the 80's. However you can also see the billions worth of currency that has been placed back into Central America via directly or indirectly. For every cent of United States currency in Central America, consider it a contribution because it wouldn't be there if it weren't for us. The United States is a sovereign nation governed by its people. Do you understand what this means? This means that any notion of access to this nation, assets, and it's people must be approved by its people. Not the other way around. You're living in the past. Look forward not back. I put in a lot of watch hours and a lot of time to serve this country, its people, and this cause.
***** I have to be honest, I can appreciate a stringent immigration policy regardless of history. The harder it is to get in the better. Those that do get in I will show the exact same respect to them as I give to my mother. This country is not big enough to support the numbers that we are climbing to. It's not impossible to get here legally, many people do. However, life gives us cards. it's up to us to play them properly. Sometimes we get dealt really bad hands like not having enough cash to even make it to North America. I would tell them to bring a few cards of their own up their sleeve, but that wouldn't really be legal now would it. There is no way around this. I empathize with latin countries, I really do.
***** If anything it would seem as though it would help their economy seeing as how many of their hardest workers are coming here. Where exactly are you from?
I'm so lucky to be Australian. What other people in the world have to go through is so bad. We have free medical care, good food, great weather, no guns, and zero racism tolerance, even though a few dickheads still do. Every single day I'm grateful for what I have. I never underestimate how lucky I am to live here.
The majority of comments I read are ignorant and insensitive from individuals who have a very narrow perspective on these situations. I ask you to please check your privilege before sharing ill-informed thoughts.
We would give them back to you, but we know you guys would just turn them into overpopulated shitholes like you've done with every country south of the border. We don't trust you because of your piss poor track record.
Austin Hussey 1. Unless America's government stops interfering in other people's countries, immigration will continue to be a problem. 2. The CIA went into Latin America, staged and sponsored coups because the presidents were dying to utilize their local resources for their people so that they don't have to go to America. 3. Read about what the CIA did in Chile, Bolivia, Guatemala, Cuba, etc. Today, Cuba is the only surviving giant saying no to the CIA mischief and bloodshed. Castro kicked out U.S corporations who were sucking the blood out of Cubans, ie, United Sugar. 4. Read about Che Guavara and why the CIA sought to kill him at any cost. 5. Finally, I won't blame you because American education system is too corrupted right now for you to know of these. You'll know everything about Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, etc though. Stop sucking the blood of other nations if you don't want them to migrate to your country to share the loot.
HERE IS A WORD OF ADVICE TO THE UNITED STATES, STOP WORSHIPPING AND HONERING DEAD AMERICAN PRESIDENTS AND DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS, THEY'RE IN HELL NOW, IF ANY AMERICANS OUT THERE THINK THAT USA IS JUST TOO GOOD SHOULD BE PUNISHED BY GOD THEN CONSIDER THAT USA HAS ENGAGED IN WAR FARE SINCE ITS INCEPTION KILLING MILLIONS OF INNOCENTS IN ITS LUST FOR EMPIRE NATIVE AMERICANS , MEXICANS , CONFETERS, SPAINERDS / ALL DIED RESISTING THE MANIFEST DESTINY OF UNCLE SAM WW1, WW2 OFFERED THE USA ANOTHER CHANCE TO FIGHT WARS FAR FROM HER SHORES , DISTORTING NATION PEOPLE'S AND CULTURES THEN IT WAS WARS COMMUNISM'S , DRUGS, TERROR NEVER ENDING CONFLICT THAT USA WORSHIPS WAR .. SO I DONT SEE WHY RUSSIA,CHINA AND MEXIXO DEFEATING THE UNITED STATES IS A BAD THING. THE UNITED STATES IS THE NEW WORLD SEAT OF SATAN.
As a Mexican Who has walked the border as a tourist, it is a site to behold. Mexican army men control the border and they will let people walk through it freely if they have Mexican papers. Guatemalans are not let through to the Meixcan side so easily. Just below the bridge, you could see Guatemalans walk to Mexico and back carrying barrels filled with gasoline on their backs towards the Guatemalan side to resell it, as it is cheaper in Mexico. The army ignores them as they know they will go back Guatemala, but the ones that travel empty handed are known to never return, so the Mexican army stops public buses, asking simple questions that are answered effortlessly by Mexican, but not by Guatemalans, asking them to sing the national anthem in occasion. They are returned to Guatemala. The Mexican army operates very differently than the US army. They have a policy of letting people work if they are in Mexico temporarily and hunt them down if they don't plan on returning to Guatemala, but every Guatemalan must go home eventually. Even some come to work in our high altitude coffee fincas, bringing their children as the men represent cheap labor and the Mexican landowners provide the children with schools. Again, all temporary residence is allowed as long as it is temporary.
I remember when my dad told me that about 24 years ago, in 1997 when he was 16, he left Michoacan, Mexico at AGR 16 and i cannot imagine go to a whole different country at a young age but at 1st he had nothing now he has 2 nice houses, 4 great cars, and a beautiful family
This is the Rated G version of what really happens to them.
theultimateninja you can't generalize. Mexicans treat their fellow Latinos nicely. They even go as far as to help. But the cartels are the ones attacking them. But if you do your research these cartels that attack aren't just Mexican Latinos, they're members are from all sorts of Latin countries. So really it's latinos attacking Latinos in general.
hahahahahahahaha you dont even believe your bullshit.
Wesly Stanton Mexico Is a war zone because of all the drug cartels,they attack civilians for no reason ,my people cross for a better life for them and for there kids,and believe me I know,a lot of people I know crossed illegally
Wesly Stanton Mexicans work in the us and come back to their families in Mexico
Amen bro these people think donald trump is tough mexicans will just kill you without any papers
My family have a store here in Mexico City and we used to have Guatemalans and Salvadorans workers that helped us to sell
They were so nice with us
thank you for being so kind to my people. That shows not all mexicans have cold hearts. Can you imagine if Americans took mexicans crossing the U.S. border and chopped them into pieces. Im sure it would hurt to hear that as a mexican. So thank you for supporting them.
Lady Glitter Sparkles Buddy, Mexicans aren’t cold hearted people. If anything, Central Americans don’t like the Mexican people, especially Guatemalans and Salvadorans.
Lady Glitter Sparkles cold hearth? Wtf you don’t know anything about us, Mexicans are most humble an charismatic people you would ever meet
@@ladyglittersparkles86 It's fucked up how you bunch up all Mexican's as cold hearted just because of a few bad apples. Yes we do have cold hearted criminals but so does any other country, evil know's no border it is rooted deep in the soul of the individual. Us Mexican's will give you our shirt off our back. Please don't judge us all as bad people.

Migration has been happening since beginning of human times. When different economic areas exist it will never stop. Even inside the US there is migration. People in the south gets hired in the north. People in the north gets tired of the snow and flee to the south. Migration is part of the human essence it will never will go away
Exactly
jorge chiu Different countries and humans don't really migrate.
Eres in hombre valiente, saludos desde la capital de Mexico :)
Hey I know you! I saw you in that Vice video about Guatelamas crimes and you saving people! I will never forget the things you've done. Keep doing a GREAT JOB! :)

Story of my mom's life. My mom wasn't a sex worker but it's true that she walked on foot from Nicaragua to get here. With two sons by her side, im proud to say she's a brave woman who has overcome the most dangerous obstacles she could ever face in her life.
We are always talking shit in US about letting people over here. When that's what America is. And if you have something against people coming here from other countries then our government needs to stop going to their countries using resources and outsourcing jobs. ^_^ how about them apples?
...I don't think you get how outsourcing works.
Umbreus Sabre well if you don't think I know please explain your version oh helpful one. I bow to you. 😊
Curly Crown Corporations are the ones who move their business elsewhere. Our government doesn't exactly have any real say in where they go or what they do...

yes true but i have an issue with illegals of all nationalities comming here not paying taxes getting welfare .. that we us citezins have to pay taxes for. if u want to come here do it legal. my dad came to the us from jamaca. no money education etc. he came legal never took welfare worked as a janitor and got his us citizenship went to law schools became an attorney...so he did it right fuck illegals if they do not come here right
Wheres the logic in having a family if you can't provide for them in the first place? Shouldn't you first secure a good job then start a family? Seems like a bullshit excuse to me
For all of you saying that it's hypocritical that Mexico has a border or immigration laws but then has Mexicans coming over let me tell you that a country has to have immigration laws wether they're followed or not. For Mexico, they don't fallow the laws, it's easy to come into Mexico illegally with like $10 USD. And Mexico's border is like a backyard fence. It really isn't the same. And on top of that many other Latin Americans can easily become legal citizens of Mexico. They just choose not to. Which is why they end up having to bribe the police officers.
Mexico's immigration policies are tough. Why are they being so bad to immigrants when Mexican immigrants are treated so good in the United States. So ironic.
+Alvaro Egas I stayed 4 hours over my visitor's pass in Tijuana thanks to my car breaking down. I was arrested and thrown in jail for 5 days for being an illegal visitor. My 1 day visit turned into 6 days of living hell. I will never go back to that shithole country again.
Naha the U.S treats the mexicans bad too so dont say anything you piece of shit some of you guys are fucking A's really go out and get a life fatass
And do you guys even live in México the internet is just Washing peoples brains
Diego Ivan I did
Actually mexico is a filter to the U.S. Migrants don't want to stay in mexico. Some are forced to if they cannot make it, some can't even get to mexico. Be glad that mexico has tough laws.
We are all humans.
conchrepubguy Exactly
I like the feel of this Vice Guide film. It's cool how there isn't a host or narrator. Keep up the good work vice.
I'm a mexican 22 year old middle class guy. I live in Mexico City however I have had the oportunity of living in Canada for 3 years. When I watched this vid and kinda tried to put myself in the perspective of lots of immigrants, I asked myself if I have been spending my life in this terrenal life. The girl never met her mom, the guy that got deported from the States and has a daughter, the other 4/6 that doesn't make it to their final destination. I mean, there has to be something I can do. Man, this video really made me think of volunteering with Solalinde father.
the best thing you could do whilst in Mexico City is help people who have been sent back from the USA, they will have no food, money, no place to rest or sleep, etc. You could help people keep in touch with families in the USA still by providing ways of communication, etc. Think outside the box, you dont need to help people become citizens by any means!
Good Luck guys for crossing the border's hope all can make it.! God Bless . . .
My mother was 16 when she decided to leave her home in Central America due to the poverty she was living and also the abuse she went through. She was not allowed to cross the border if she allowed three men to rape her 😔 and it’s also sad to know that most of the women that come from Central America have t do those things in order to get money or get across. the root that my mom took was really dangerous and most of the people who she road with didn’t make it and some got sick and jumped off the train..her story of how she got here really traumatized me and it’s also heartbreaking
It's annoying to see Mexicans and Central Americans fighting like dog and cat. All Latinos, we should be united and get over our differences.
Bambas Deforesra Very true
+Andrea r No you wouldn't. The U.S. would wipe every country in South/Central America off the map even if they did combine.
Yes it would. It's really surprising but it's true.
Only Countries that would last a chance are probably Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, anything else would be dust within an hour of a U.S.-Latin American War.
Even if they did they would still all be fucked.
Excellent video. One of the best I've seen on u tube. Gave me a view of the world I would have never seen. Don't have the guts to go down and see it myself.
One of the best documentaries I've seen from Vice.
Wow. They are seriously packed on that train. Imagine, that is one just train load on one trip. How many more people are there trying to get to the state from all over Mexico and Latin America? That's a lot.
I hope all you honest workers make it to the United States. If you work this hard to reach a place then you deserve to live here as much as those who were born in the U.S. I was lucky enough to migrate from El Salvador to the U.S in a legal manner. Fortunately, I was bless and I want to thank God, my step dad, mom and all my entire family for helping me reach a goal that I never wanted to reach. As a child growing up in El Salvador, I didn't dream/thought of coming to the US. Now that I am here, I realize that a dream that I never dreamt of has become reality.
Angel Velasco the is a perfectly legal way to enter America and a perfectly legal way to stay. legal immigrants from all countries realize this dream and work hard to obtain that dream, they appreciate that dream because of the work they put in to it. they respect the rich heritage of America and they respect our laws because they love the life they live here. God bless the person who can legally realize the American dream
Angel Velasco
hi
Angel Velasco if you are illegal then you shouldn't be allowed to come in usa no matter how.hard u tried
Sofiya Malkinova exactly then go back to china
Angel Velasco yeah... buddy, i immigrated legally, i pay taxes, i work hard and have nothing to show for it. Everyone wants money, no one gives it, and you are telling illegals that make my life more expensive are welcome? Get a grip!
A man of god with a heart? So weird and wonderful what a truly beautiful character
I loved this documentary and the information it has shared to the public but I really hope that for future video/documentaries the translations are better interpreted at 18:09 “illegal” was used when he stated being “undocumented” in Spanish. illegal and undocumented are two completely different words, for most POC in the US using the term “illegal” is very offensive. Not trying to bring down the doc. just trying to inform :) I really like watching vice videos.
As a mexican I can say that we're not all racist against central americans but what I do see that bothers me is when they pretend to be mexican, and so we're the ones that get blamed for everything....
I guess, lol the hell are you talking about how the fuck am I hypocrite? and actually my parents didn't come here illegally but thanks for assuming.
oscar gutierrez you should tell your people to stay in your country as well. Go on, give me a whole story of a millions of Americans immigrating into your country. I'll wait.......fucking hypocrite.
***** WHO THE FUCK IS TALKING TO YOU ? GO TELL YOUR FAIRY TALE 2 SOMEONE ELSE ,
***** el Salvador is a shit hole dude. Trust me I visited there.
oscar gutierrez Go back to where I was born? That would be California... Berkeley to be specific.
"Some Ruin it for all" THATS EXACTLY how I feel. Its BS that we are not given the opportunity to prove we are good citizens of this great nation. Also I see your point maybe implement some sort of system to check how much aid they have been given and if they have paid taxes and also have no crimes only then should they qualify.
brave people for risking it all just to improve their life. and to think a lot of american kids cant even go to college to improve their life.
i can suddenly feel their problems, i hope USA legalize them to be citizens but the US government knows nothing of their difficult lives but rather deporting them and telling they we're illegals and criminal that doesn't deserve a place in USA but if those people who works in the US government going to be in their place they would understand their situation what is it really like to feel about
exactly
Im extremely lucky, born into the higher class in Mexico, able to go anywhere in the world legaly, ability to learn new things any day, no disease or mental problems. I wished a lot of people would be as grateful as I am, because most people have to claw their way around life.
fix your goddamn country.
calmate pinche mamon... ay si soy high class..hahaha...
My girlfriend had to go through this with her family from El Salvador. I honestly think it gives me more of an appreciation for her and everything I have. I like to spoil the heck out of her. A lot of them are very hard working.

Samuel Perez I grew up in California, Worked in the fields side by side with Mexican Immigrants. They are the nicest most thoughtful caring individuals on the planet. All my best friends were immigrants or second generation, Never could you meet a more forgiving, Loving family orientated people. So quick to adopt you as one of there own. Including there family members that don't even know you, So quick to share what little they have with you. If you don't know Mexican's this way, I am very sorry you missed out in knowing and loving them, And being known loved by them. I have never felt so accepted by any other race including my own, Which is 'American Heinz 57'... My family line fought in every American war, And we fought for the north in the civil dispute...

Yeah... i was thinking that too... some are fine.
as a mexican i tired of Americans saying " all illegals immigrants come from mexico " when is this people that come to USA because usa allows them to stay legally just ask your friend from central american what NACARA is. yes USA gives legal residency tho this poeple and then cry later that the country is full of illegals. you create laws and refuge migration laws that are being abuse by people that come from central American countries and just fuel illegal immigration. it blows my mind that americans dont even know that the own government has laws that lure illegals to come to usa. american media lies and say that all people come from mexico that is not truth mexico is being invade by illegals too and crime as increase because many of this immigrants come to work for cartels. that is the truth.
meow23 it's just ignorant white Americans who think that. Aka trump. But it's okay, us Latinos were Mexico. We're all united we should care less.

My grandmother immigrated to the U.S. in 1918 legally with her family, and she raised a family that loves this nation. It is hard for me as a 2nd generation mexican American, because I am a veteran of my nation, for my people, the American people. However, my mother grew up 1st generation American as a migrant worker in W. Texas, Ok, Ark, and has only an 8th grade education. She made it her life's mission that I would be educated and have the true "American dream". My grandmother will always be the greatest woman I will ever know, but we cannot allow thousands, millions of undocumented aliens to enter this nation. I understand their conditions, I have seen such things in Europe and overseas first hand. I grew up on the AFDC programs myself, although poverty in the U.S. is NOTHING when you go to Central America, south Mexico, the Phillipines, India, etc. Nothing. NONE of our poor know poverty like those people know poverty, only our homeless. My opinion on it is this: We cannot afford to be the welfare state of the world, we just cannot. We have the right to our borders, we are a sovereign nation. If we just walked into Mexico and said you know what, you will now take all of our homeless and poor, good luck with that!! They would have a problem with it and would be like WT Heck are you talking about...yet they expect US to take in all of their poor, to give assistance to their women who DO tend to have alot of babies. Its a fact, I come from a mexican American family lol, im one of 28 first cousins. We have babies, let me tell you lol. And we are expected to accept wave after wave of destitute, when we have our OWN destitute, the inner cities, LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, Appalacia. We have to care for us first. I see this woman, and I see my great-grandparents who took their family across the bridge into Texas. But they did it the right way, and there is no other way around that.
Mi corazón me he compartido con todos los martes los migrantes que están haciendo su camino a una vida mejor. y todos de los problemas que tienen que pasar a vivir y trabajar en la tierra de las oportunidades. soy de San Diego, California y estoy blanco, ustedes son mis hermanos y hermanas, y te sentirás como si fueras mi propio.
Que Dios Le Cuide A Mis Paisanos Por Su Camino.
God help these people.
You know, no matter what anyone says people entering the US from Mexico should really just work for actual citizenship. I am not against them coming here, my family came from Poland in 1902 and Luxembourg in 1840, so I know that immigration is important, but they should really at least attempt to get actual citizenship. It's not really that hard, I have plenty of friends who have gotten legitimate citizenship.
i totally agree with you, but it is a lot fucking harder for mexicans or most latin americans to get citizenship than it ever was for european immigrants. i have a friend whos mom is from mexico, and has been here and worked here for more than 20 years and is barely able to start her process into getting her citizenship. everyone who comes tries to become citizens, but for whatever reason they dont hand citizenship out to people from latin america (unless theyre political refugees, but this doesnt apply to many people, especially not mexicans) like they do for other immigrants. so what really needs to happen is better immigration policies for these people, it would solve a lot of the problems were seeing because of this
Yeah, I agree, immigration reform is badly needed.
I agree with you 100%, the issue is that trying to get citizenship while in another country is even harder then trying to get your citizenship when you're in the US! Did you know that you have to pay around $800 alone just to apply for citizenship? Then you have a long waiting period until your case is reviewed. Then if your case is approved you will have either 2 or 3 chances to take a test. The test is basic US history and culture, which would be easy for those who went to school here, but the people taking the test never even finished high school! Let alone learn US history. And the things I just stated is just the process for the people living here, who knows what people applying outside of the US have to go through. It's really not as easy as it seems.
its harder been mexican

Not too many years ago when I lived in Arizona, It was made known that the border people wanted to make things more efficient by clearing the trees along the border in the Huachuca mt.s between the city of Nogales and Fort Huachuca. A friend and I camped and cut firewood just a few yard north of the line. A the time the news was full of the trouble the Border Patrol was having stopping smuggling and illegal entry there. We could harvest firewood at a very low price to clear the area. We expected to see officers every day, heliocoptrers, etc. We saw no one. We hauled pickup loads of firewood to Tucson every week, and one day as we were changing a flat a tire a federal truck came diving up and jokingly, asked if we had any drugs under all that wood. We laughed and told them if they wanted to look under that wood they would have to load and unload it themselves. They declined. At that time of my life I had a minor drug record, and my friend had been a green beret Sargent who had trained troops on manuevers at Fort Huachuca. Not once in those weeks did we see a plane go over, or a Gov. vehicle go by. There was no sensors, fence, or anything to mark the border. This was when the big fence was supposed to be going in. Remember? Mexicans are fine honorable people and were here first too. This is more than I can say for our lying cheating government. Satan is alive and well in Washington DC.
These poor people, pushed to such dramatic action by unforgiving conditions. If America would focus more of scientific advances and schooling, they could abandon oil in favor of nuclear and renewable energies [an exceedingly difficult transition], create more efficient medical facilities and better service, and a host of other beneficial things. This would help stabilize the economy, and better education would inspire students to help such unfortunates.
you can always set an example and allow them to live with you, give them a place to live, feed them, and turn over your day to day livelihood.. Just to show you are sincere.
Or maybe latin america can fix their own shit? Just a suggestion.
These are some hard working people. Too bad they can't get in legally. It is awesome that America remains so great that even with a 'bad economy' it is the best place to live...I'm grateful!
I dont know how they managed to take such a winded subject and make it into an upbeat episode.
México should let immigrants in and convince them to stay, so they can do the lower paying jobs, and build the mexican society. Just like our northern neighbor.
Exactly
***** pues ni modo hay de gente en gente, muchos son buenos y trabajadores y otros andan de perdidos.
aCynicalName very xenophobic comment, but it's for our country's interest since they could pick up trash, build houses and maintain our country for low pay meanwhile Mexicans can study and innovate to bring money to our shores.
Gedaz LOL they won't do that, most of them are lazy and don't want to do shit and they'll try to get to the U.S. because FREE SHIT!
aCynicalName well 120 million mexicans are not leaving, say if at least 1% are innovators then more money will come to Mexico.
No matter what country you were born in if you cant make it there or it is to dangerous to live just stop having babies. Problem solved. People that can provide for a family without committing crimes against others and other countries can have the babies.

Please fellow Mexicans, let us not fight our Central American brothers, instead let us walk together in harmony and help each other out. I know some Central Americans hate Mexicans, but that is because they go through hell at the hands of Mexican criminals and those gangs that call themselves the police. I'd also like to extend this call to the Central Americans who blindly hate Mexicans on account of a few of our misbehaved brothers. Please do not let these criminals represent all Mexicans. In reality both of us, Mexicans and Central Americans, are both fleeing the violence and economic instability of our native lands so let us not hate one another because as Latinos we should be united not divided.

Yes! Pura Fuerza
let's keep that idea alive and spread the love with each other.
Saul- You are a beautiful person and your words are so kind. God bless you.
Amen.
Mirquella Santos Thank you so much. It honestly hurts me to see my people and Central Americans so blindly hate one another. I see this as a product of the ignorance and poverty both our peoples endure. We must be accepting and respectful of each other as well as be willing to work together in order for all of us to progress.
god bless them for fighting in life and actually living life with purpose weather they make it or not. There very strong
Wages at the bottom haven't risen and this is one of the reasons, a major one for many industries. It also doesn't help here in many parts of SoCal, entire cities feel like being in Tijuana and you hear and see more Spanish than English. Many school districts and public working limited to those who don't speak Spanish with a general sense of being shunned if you don't in some places.
Viva Guatemala y centro america!

your looking at americas future....for real
Mexico needs more immigration laws!!! for central america, but not for help, for stop this, the people who cant cross steals or kills.
Every time I hear an American shouting racist abuse on the blogs I lol. You claim to be a Christian country but only so far as it doesn't affect your bottom line.
I've been very fortunate to have travelled around central America and the states and both areas are full of wonderful people, rich in culture and united behind a common goal. Everyone just wants the chance to have a happy life, raise a family and look back on a good life.
This attitude of looking down on the poorest and most vulnerable people is disgusting. Nationality is a worn out idea. Most people are poor, its just in relative terms. People lucky enough to be born on the right side of the line drawn by men hundreds of years ago should try to understand how fortunate they are. When we see our common humanity then maybe we can unite as a species.
I live I hope...
My girlfriend just called me dreamer.... but I'm not the only one ;)
One of the few well thought out comments here, good work Joseph.
You are totally clueless if you think the US is a Christian country or even claims to be. Our President more than decade ago made it clear that America is no longer a Christian nation. We spew more satanic filth than every other country in the world combined.
Plenty of racist Mexicans but you choose to single out Americans only, I wonder why? Probably also ignorant of the fact that many of the racist comments here come from british people and such. Because guess what, racism is in EVERY country and this video is viewed all over the world.
i hate deportation my dad migrated and had me and my sister in the usa he got departed and now i cant see him that much anymore only way is by plane which is alot to travel to guatemala reply if you have a similar story :(
Emily Arana well he was illegal sorry for your situation but it's the law.
Markist Brown all hail the all knowing all powerful government
Emily Arana Aww I almost cried,, so sry I didn't. It was his own fault.
Ian Miranda yeah his own fault he chose to be born there just as you and i are better because we chose to be born in rich countries
isn't life so simple and nice knowing that all those people are just worth less
KspreeTheUnicorn Considering that the more people = more disease, lessened wages, higher poverty, more environmental destruction, less room, less stability, less funding for science and arts and most importantly for your precious, innocent third worlders, less handouts and free shit and less time to fuck and shit out children. Your sarcasm is terrible.
I hope the best for these group of people & the future group of people that they may make it safely to their families or wherever they need to go.
That's a pretty calm river, I think I'd be able to swim across it.
Breaks my heart to see good hard working people separated from their families and sent back to Mexico. Why should we turn away people who want nothing more than to achieve the American dream and live with their families here and become citizens and pay taxes and put more money into our economy. I can understand why people would be afraid that the immigrants might take away jobs from Americans but they're not exactly working the best jobs. The jobs they're working in are ones that the overwhelming majority of Americans don't want anyway. Sending criminals back I can definitely understand but sending them back over anything less than a felony is completely unnecessary. People with family here especially shouldn't be sent back. No family should ever be separated.
BECAUSE they crossed illegally. It sucks that they lived in third world but they shouldn't be like losers. If we don't kick them out then we are encouraging more illegal immigration, which is illegal. This is a matter of principle and I would even advocate that the entire family be sent back so they aren't separated.
xp0lym4thx What do we have to gain by sending them back though? If they're going to work here and spend money here they're just helping our economy. It would make more sense to allow more of them to stay and achieve citizenship so they can start paying our taxes too and doing even more good for our economy. Immigration was what made this country great in the first place and discouraging it certainly isn't in our best interest no matter what some paranoid part of the population who thinks these immigrants will just be taking away our jobs might think. I guess what I'm saying isn't that we should just ignore the law but that the law shouldn't exist at all and we should just welcome these immigrants who help grow our economy rather than turn them away.
New policy. Every felon that's been convicted over 2 times in the US as a a citizen is deported to Mexico and replaced by a migrant worker.
iamedge452 WOW you are crazy.You naively think that that illegals = contributing to economy, and we should just open up our borders for their entrance. The fact is that illegal immigration decreases wages for legal citizens,and illegal immigrants can create a "tax burden" on an economy by consuming a greater government services than they contribute in tax revenue (Fact: only few of them ACTUALLY pay).How the hell can they be spending money if they don't even have some? You didn't realize that most of them are just here to send their money back to wherever they originate. Your argument only works for rich foreigners.
Fact: Immigration MUST be controlled. It's not like if foreign workers are prohibited to come in. In addition, they are useless. We need highly skilled immigrants (who actually contribute) but not scumbags who rely on illegal means to achieve what they want.
Tim Z lol yeah, because mexican government absolutely thinks that mexico is a place for Americans to dump their trash.
Justin and henry?
itzel tapia daddy was a yankee trucker
I love Latinos. I think they deserve to stay in the US, I mean they go through a lot just to get here, anyone who's willing to risk their lives to get to USA should be allowed to stay. I mean it's kinda unfair that all Latinos can't get amnesty but the Cuban Latinos get to just come right on over.
Only people that want to work and make a progress should be allowed to stay.
I was in Mexico(Sonora) like 4 days ago I remember seeing at least 10 people riding the train heading to US.
A few things:
-College isn't that expensive, my local university is 3k a semester for a full time student
-There are a shit ton of loan opportunities, and most student loans don't even have interest
-Tech schools are even cheaper than colleges, can be completed faster, and can land jobs that are 4-5x the minimum wages
-lastly and most importantly, COLLEGE IS NOT A GUARANTEED JOB. If you decide to major in history, good luck finding a job
Mexican came to usa to have a better life and the Mexican parents want their son have a better to like their parents take their son to school to studied learn new thing its just like yall America partners its the same thing have a better life see their sons pass college education some mexican are bad they came America to sell drugs my parents are good because they take me to America to have me a better life like find job , have a better family , and a good house. im In 5th grade now im about to be in 6th grade now you see why Mexican partners want their children to have good life yall dont understand but you can believe some of them sell drugs.
Kk
***** I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up.
thnks, but motivation is the important thing that i had, and all people must have in order to achieve their goals.
how did i get here
By fucking magic
Hunter Pruett asking the same question
We should move to the new world order and socialism to balance wealth, natural resources and reduce political corruption, racism, illegal trade and other crimes and give everybody a decent job, car and modest house. Elect Bernie Sanders 2016.
I'd also like to point out that schooling is not a substitute for things like
-showing up to work on time
-wearing clean clothes
-being polite
-doing the job that is asked of you
-working overtime if needed
Theres plenty of people with degrees that have personal problems that are preventing them from achieving steady employment
Watch the movie sin nombre for a pretty good idea of the journey as well. Politics aside I really feel for these people and wish them the best.
20:52 what a beautiful girl ...
Very
PROUD TO BE AN IMMIGRANT!!
México se debería anexar Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras y Nicaragua.
Razón?
hell no
noooo
Jajjaja que ridiculez como si en Centroamérica necesitáramos mas violencia jajajaja no gracias
+Lucasdreys But We could assimilate them and erase any trace of their former countries :v
Why isn't their government helping them at all????
That father is so welcoming ❤️
Those strippers 🤢🤮
One day. Ill make a change for my people hispanics. I will.
Why don't we Americans just seal off our borders so that Central Americans don't have to risk their lives trying to get across ours? Also, I require a fairly large amount of space to feel content and I feel like there are many others that feel the same way. Just think, how many people search real estate online my sq. feet. Wouldn't allowing more immigrants legal or illegal be counter intuitive to our comfort. I once visited DC and witnessed first hand what row housing is. I immediately moved all the way to Alaska just because it is the least likely state to ever adopt this. Think about your descendants. Most likely they will have considerable less room to live in comfort. They may also end up mixed as well. Say goodbye to space and purity. You can thank yourselves for standing idle and watching it happen. I hope you're happy.
***** I don't know, I haven't been back to Berkeley, California in almost 20 years. I assume you are speaking of where I'm from. FYI the Congo is in Africa genius...
***** Well first off, I am a citizen born and raised. Second, anyone with access to the internet can see exactly what happened in the 80's. However you can also see the billions worth of currency that has been placed back into Central America via directly or indirectly. For every cent of United States currency in Central America, consider it a contribution because it wouldn't be there if it weren't for us. The United States is a sovereign nation governed by its people. Do you understand what this means? This means that any notion of access to this nation, assets, and it's people must be approved by its people. Not the other way around. You're living in the past. Look forward not back. I put in a lot of watch hours and a lot of time to serve this country, its people, and this cause.
***** I have to be honest, I can appreciate a stringent immigration policy regardless of history. The harder it is to get in the better. Those that do get in I will show the exact same respect to them as I give to my mother. This country is not big enough to support the numbers that we are climbing to. It's not impossible to get here legally, many people do. However, life gives us cards. it's up to us to play them properly. Sometimes we get dealt really bad hands like not having enough cash to even make it to North America. I would tell them to bring a few cards of their own up their sleeve, but that wouldn't really be legal now would it. There is no way around this. I empathize with latin countries, I really do.
***** If anything it would seem as though it would help their economy seeing as how many of their hardest workers are coming here. Where exactly are you from?
***** If you where born here than exactly what is your problem with all of this?
I'm so lucky to be Australian. What other people in the world have to go through is so bad. We have free medical care, good food, great weather, no guns, and zero racism tolerance, even though a few dickheads still do. Every single day I'm grateful for what I have. I never underestimate how lucky I am to live here.
Looks pretty .......NASTY....NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE
RUNNING TO THE BORDER .....WOLF !
TEXAS ,CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA, is STILL MEXICO*"! VIVA MEXCO""!!! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!" VIVA"'!!!!
The majority of comments I read are ignorant and insensitive from individuals who have a very narrow perspective on these situations. I ask you to please check your privilege before sharing ill-informed thoughts.
Male feminist?
CALIFORNIA ARIZONA NEW MEXICO NEVADA UTAH TEXAS AND COLORADO ARE MEXICAN TERRITORY. THEY BELONG TO MEXICO
***** No.
BELIZE Y GUATEMALA SE UNIRAN A MEXICO MUY PRONTO. Y CALIFORNIA ARIZONA NUEVO MEXICO TEXAS UTAH COLORADO Y NEVADA LE PERTENESEN A MEXICO
We would give them back to you, but we know you guys would just turn them into overpopulated shitholes like you've done with every country south of the border. We don't trust you because of your piss poor track record.
Austin Hussey 1. Unless America's government stops interfering in other people's countries, immigration will continue to be a problem.
2. The CIA went into Latin America, staged and sponsored coups because the presidents were dying to utilize their local resources for their people so that they don't have to go to America.
3. Read about what the CIA did in Chile, Bolivia, Guatemala, Cuba, etc. Today, Cuba is the only surviving giant saying no to the CIA mischief and bloodshed. Castro kicked out U.S corporations who were sucking the blood out of Cubans, ie, United Sugar.
4. Read about Che Guavara and why the CIA sought to kill him at any cost.
5. Finally, I won't blame you because American education system is too corrupted right now for you to know of these. You'll know everything about Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, etc though. Stop sucking the blood of other nations if you don't want them to migrate to your country to share the loot.
HERE IS A WORD OF ADVICE TO THE UNITED STATES, STOP WORSHIPPING AND HONERING DEAD AMERICAN PRESIDENTS AND DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS, THEY'RE IN HELL NOW, IF ANY AMERICANS OUT THERE THINK THAT USA IS JUST TOO GOOD SHOULD BE PUNISHED BY GOD THEN CONSIDER THAT USA HAS ENGAGED IN WAR FARE SINCE ITS INCEPTION KILLING MILLIONS OF INNOCENTS IN ITS LUST FOR EMPIRE NATIVE AMERICANS , MEXICANS , CONFETERS, SPAINERDS / ALL DIED RESISTING THE MANIFEST DESTINY OF UNCLE SAM WW1, WW2 OFFERED THE USA ANOTHER CHANCE TO FIGHT WARS FAR FROM HER SHORES , DISTORTING NATION PEOPLE'S AND CULTURES THEN IT WAS WARS COMMUNISM'S , DRUGS, TERROR NEVER ENDING CONFLICT THAT USA WORSHIPS WAR .. SO I DONT SEE WHY RUSSIA,CHINA AND MEXIXO DEFEATING THE UNITED STATES IS A BAD THING. THE UNITED STATES IS THE NEW WORLD SEAT OF SATAN.
I'm Mexican and I got Mexican landscapers. Life can't get no better
As a Mexican Who has walked the border as a tourist, it is a site to behold. Mexican army men control the border and they will let people walk through it freely if they have Mexican papers. Guatemalans are not let through to the Meixcan side so easily. Just below the bridge, you could see Guatemalans walk to Mexico and back carrying barrels filled with gasoline on their backs towards the Guatemalan side to resell it, as it is cheaper in Mexico. The army ignores them as they know they will go back Guatemala, but the ones that travel empty handed are known to never return, so the Mexican army stops public buses, asking simple questions that are answered effortlessly by Mexican, but not by Guatemalans, asking them to sing the national anthem in occasion. They are returned to Guatemala. The Mexican army operates very differently than the US army. They have a policy of letting people work if they are in Mexico temporarily and hunt them down if they don't plan on returning to Guatemala, but every Guatemalan must go home eventually. Even some come to work in our high altitude coffee fincas, bringing their children as the men represent cheap labor and the Mexican landowners provide the children with schools. Again, all temporary residence is allowed as long as it is temporary.
