- A US town’s border with Mexico has become highly politicised as different measures have been used to try and prevent migrant crossings.
The dangerous Rio Grande River has seen thousands of migrants attempt to get across it to reach Eagle Pass in Texas.
BBC Newsnight’s David Grossman has followed their journey and spoken to locals in Eagle Pass about how the community feels about the crossings.

Come in through the proper channels or get sent back to your country of origin. If that doesn't work, impose a fine for the trip back, payable by cash or goods.
In the states, if a bartender over-serves a customer and they eat pavement, the bartender themself can have a house, vehicle or other personal property seized to pay for the medical bills. Why should deportation costs be paid for by taxes?
the US is such an immensly rich nation build on the backs of migrants.
the fact it can't deal with the migrants from the south is crazy.
I mean poland, which has like 38 million citizens, has nearly 15 million ukranian refugees living there now and it works.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 It's not just migrants from the south. It's migrants from anywhere. The concentrate in communities that are already struggling and make the economics of the area even worse. Also, they've proven they don't really care about following the laws of this nation so why the hell would we want a spike in petty crime or worse once they find somewhere to hold up inside the boarders? Ukrainian refugees are all documented with registered status and many of them have started working and paying taxes within their host country. These boarder jumpers are unregistered and just looking for handouts from a system they don't and have never contributed to. It's simply not sustainable.
The world would be better off it attended to tis own problems instead of sticking its nose in elsewhere 🤷♂️
Here is a thought, go after the American employers of these people, they come because they get work, often in cash so not traceable, I support heavy fines for hiring people without documents.
I lived in Texas, El Paso to be exact, in 1978-80
Emergency alerts would come on tv and radio asking for all available people to go to the river to assist in rescuing people attempting to cross the river.
A lot has changed in process but people have always crossed however they could
It is unfortunate that some lose their life
I’m not saying people shouldn’t enter the US; I am saying that proper entry/process channels should be used as ancestors of American residents did
There are many countries with people in need of “asylum” (not criminals or terrorists) but the US is only so big as is the UK with same issues
Without going through proper channels these people can not be vetted
There is no easy solution to the global issue
I crossed the river without trouble when I visited Big Bend. So much water is taken out of the Rio Grande in NM that for most of the year crossing it is trivial. The dramatic segment where the BBC talked about how so many don't make it only to cut to the fire chief of Eagle Pass saying maybe 2 calls per week average and mostly not drowning when there are 250,000 crossing per month was pretty weak journalism. The razor wire is super messed up, though.
Meanwhile somewhere in Washington DC a certain old man be like: "We must keep sending military aid to Israel". Welcome to America, damn!
It's still by far the richest country on earth, and the old man in the White House destroyed the old fascist that was thrown out of office.
Win an election and stop being afraid of getting replaced by scary Black and Brown people, them you can become relevant.
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Any country that prevent trespassing at border is doing its duty..Cant figureout why people cry for it ..Its strange that people applying forUS visa legally have to pass several criterias while at these border its a walkin....
🇺🇸” that’s why they call it the American dream, because you’d have to be asleep to believe it “ George Carlin. Latin America could have the dream too. They just have to believe
All you Amazon posters, reported as terrorist. 😅
What's with all the bots?
Nothing will deter a person fleeing from persecution, hunger, and violence. As an American, I think our government should help these people assimilate into society. They and their children will become an asset in the long term.
"Become"
The world trashes us with one hand, and files for asylum in US with the other... Lol
I feel bad for these ppl but they need to come in the legal way, not just cross through. I hope texas passes the law where crossing illegally will be a crime
Just a reminder that Europe is being flooded by immigrants too, so much so that the UK wanted to ship them to Rwanda ffs
us CANT handle more ppl back to back traffic as it is and nothing in stores!
Yes I see the Border Patrol truck. Why do the people have no water bottles?
Right now america is too dangerous, even for kids cause of gun violence, praying for their safety
Every tech head on my feed is either praising or questioning Amazon's AMA49X. What's your stance?
There is nothing in South America that people need asylum from. They need to fix their country’s and bad governance! My sympathy runs low. No skills, no job, no money, just very needy immigrants that act like they are owed something once they get here. What the hell do they expect?
You know theres an issue when immigrant citizens from the same countries that these illegal border crossers come from, are the ones being interviewed and providing negative takes on the matter 😭 wow.
invasion has begun
There may be a noisy outcry to close the border, but the smart money is on continued unchecked emigration because the US needs the cheap labor, and the need is only growing. President Biden courts the labor unions so he cannot appear to ease legal avenues to emigration. Texas Governor Abbot takes measures which are vicious but only serve to injure people who have already endured epic and arduous journeys far more difficult than a few yards of razor wire will stop . Abbot knows that American corporations need the workers and Texas taxpayers are helping distribute them throughout the country. It's the New Underground Railroad.
Just deport them.
Death threats ?

Let's be honest, Amazon's AMA49X sounds like it's from a movie. Can someone confirm this is real life?

Does anyone else think that Amazon's AMA49X could potentially reshape the e-commerce landscape as we know it? The long-term implications could be profound.
Is Amazon's AMA49X the next big thing or just another blip on the tech radar? The jury's still out.
Amazon's AMA49X isn't just another project; it's like watching a symphony of technology and innovation coming together in perfect harmony.
What impressed me most is Amazons AMA49X brings all of humanity more forward than what we had in 40 years
There's an elegance to the way Amazon's AMA49X is being discussed as a potential cornerstone for the next wave of digital transformation across industries.
They said Amazon's AMA49X could be a milestone in tech history. I guess time will tell.
Deport asap
