Border Hustle: Private prisons, smugglers and cartels cash in on migrants
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2019
- Carlos and his 6-year-old daughter Heyli traveled nearly 1,700 miles together from Honduras to reach the U.S. border - and what they hoped would be the start of a new, better life - only to be separated by more than 1,200 miles shortly after they surrendered to Border Patrol agents and requested asylum. Along the way, they became small players in a shadowy, multi-billion dollar global enterprise: the smuggling of human beings for profit.
In this documentary, The Texas Tribune and TIME traced their journey and investigated the booming smuggling industry that has thrived as the U.S. government seeks to close America's southern border and record numbers of migrant families make the long trek north.

If you don’t want to be held in a detention center, don’t come illegally, that is the choice people make.
I have ZERO sympathy for them and their situation because they should NOT have entered the U.S. ILLEGALLY!!
Oh well ,what you gonna do about it ? 😂
These poor kids don’t have a say in their parents poor life choices. They clearly know how much danger their putting their child in by doing this illegally.
NOBODY. INVITED THEM. SO, THERE. "
Maybe Christ will have zero sympathy for you.
@@brivnliveslife6109not care when you cry about it.
This is messed up and hits way too close to home. My dad got his papers fixed years ago after tons of stress, money, lawyer run around bs and it is fucking tough my dad had a heart attack in that time from stress alone. He did come out on top though working his ass off as a lead groundskeeper for the last 16 years hes built a beautiful life for my family and I that I could not be more grateful for, he's officially a citizen and unless he gets in trouble with the law he is here to stay permanently. I hope everybody dealing with family members caught in the system stays strong and pulls through even if there doesn't seem to be light at the end keep pushing cause my family did and it worked out in the end.
Oscar Aguilar, So happy you're here and GOD bless you.
Ok your family done it legally good for you these people are not and they are not going to be able to work because they are undocumented so they are going to be breaking the law to survive do you get the difference
@@diyjman5259 see I don't think you really understand the difference, my dad first came here as an illegal and got his papers fixed afterward he came here just as illegally as any other immigrant, he just did the right thing afterwards which is the hard part cause you need knowledge of how to jump through their hoops and you need money for lawyers to not get deported.
@@No.One357 no I disagree if you were in the same situation you would want a better life too, but people like you obviously won't do any critical thinking.
@@OJA-jf7bp your father is an exception. Clearly, or else the arduous nature of all the things you described wouldn’t be sacrifices. Illegal immigration is illegal. Do I get to go to your family and become a member STRICTLY because you can afford it? (For arguments sake since everyone assumes the USA has an infinite number of spots available). Obama deported more immigrants than any other president and he built the cages. The children at the border are more times than not, not being separated because they’re cheaper so parents send them for a better life as depicted in this video.
Whose fault is it ,the parents thats whose fault it is for putting there kids through that, if you don't want that to happen then keep your kids with you 💯
Ultimate sacrifice of true love. But most of us don't understand it. Most of us can't do it. Most of us would sit in the muck before we would risk a chance for the opportunity to eventually have a better life. I'm one that seems to admire those that take the risk but I myself would keep my family close and sit in the muck. Who knows what is right. One way you except life's fate and live in the moment, the other way you hope for better. Hmmm?
you fucking idiot ,the border patrol seprerated them as a deterant
Facts! If you want to come to the US do it the right way, I’m sick of all this shit. It’s not fair!
Send them back together. Trump wigs is an ahole
As a "free" man in the US that works 6 days a week, I must say that at 14:50 that meal looks better than anything I could afford to eat all week
Lol, you ain't free. You are enslaved to a time consuming and possibly piss paying job.
Video started out so well and educational then took a big left turn. Basically a private prison hit piece.
Justin Glenn private prisons SHOULD be hit! If you've EVER had a loved one in a private prison....you wouldn't be able to stomach it!!!
Don't be such a little pussy, Justin
This has become a lefty propaganda.
@@lockandloadlikehell shut tf up
@@SpiffyHeart-vc8kb prison isn’t suppose to be a nice fun place.
Wow - this is the single best video report about these issues I have seen. Thank you for it. I hope many people see it.
We all should appreciate what we have
So true Jose Garcia
This is heartbreaking. Why didn't Biden administration get everything in order before reversing TRUMP'S policies?
Set up housing, sponsors, schooling programs, training and health programs.
That would've been the responsible thing to do. That's something I believe every responsible American could accept and get behind. This isn't fair to the children and those coyotes wouldn't be getting rich off the backs of our fellow humans.
Why? Because they messed up their country because they had to feed their family ? Nope this is beyond crazy. Mess ur country up n stay.
Telling that little girl a lie about visiting an Aunt is irresponsible !! How can parents send their little ones to another Country they themselves have no clue about !!
So they can have a better education and better opportunity they don’t want their kid to grow up and only make 100 a week rather send her kid across to get educated and get a better paying
Exactly why we need the wall and remain in Mexico law.
I'm poor as well. Nobody freaking cares.
Sheila finn well your probably in America. Do something about it!!!
Sheila finn ...she was not poor, she had cell phone, couple of tvs I don’t call that poor. The reason they come is to have more.
Ever heard of a job?
Being poor in America is different from being poor in somewhere like Mexico.
You're poor and ignorant Shelia.
Why don’t these people take the initiative to better their homeland instead of simply fleeing and becoming a burden on others. At some point the issues in their home countries needs to be addressed. How that happens I have no idea but perhaps we could help with that. 🤷♂️ I understand the parents frustration being separated from their children but surely the children are well taken care of.
Easier said than done. these countries are littered with corruption; cartels and gangs have taken over these countries and you try to fight against them you’re putting your life and your family’s on the line. I promise you that a lot of people don’t wish to leave their country but they’re forced to because the lifestyle is dangerous and hard to go through.
What is your contribution to America cause within the last four years this country went to shyt. So what initiatives do/did you take to help better this country.
You mean like in 1954 when the president of Guatemala wanted to pass agrarian reform to help poor farmers and peasants in the country? The CIA overthrew him at the request of United Fruit Company (Chiquita Bananas) under the excuse that he was working with the Soviets (spoilers he wasn't!) and replaced him with a brutal dictatorship that threw the country into decades of civil war. Certain countries and certain people have an interest in keeping certain other countries poor and noncompetitive.
Because these folks from these countries don't have easy accessibility to firearms and can't spark a revolution.
That's one thing I do agree on the Kids that come with their Parents when they get caught the Children should be sent home immediately to their relatives but to those parents that bring their kids to use them to try to get in this Country? SHAME ON THEM cause this kids are the ones that suffer so think about what ur doing before u go listing to Coyotes and all this carteles they just want ur money and dont care about u or ur kids please people is not worth it
well not shit they don't care about the people they just care about the money. I don't think that's the question tho. Parents don't do that cause they hate their kids and want to put them at risk, its cause they know it will be worth it once their kids can go to school in peace and they can afford a good breakfast. Ik it's hard to comprehend cause it feels like both sides can be on the right but we cannot forget that without this war on drugs the cartel violence wouldn't be as drastic. Also did you know MS13 was started here in the US in like 80s or 90s cause of the ongoing gang war. I'm not blaming the US but things have cause and effect and can't look at it from a bias standpoint.
??? They bring their children because they are a family and they don't want to leave them in abject poverty. Republican demagogues invented this narrative to further their own anti-migration agenda.
There are legal USA citizens that get their kids taken from them for less done to their kids, example letting them walk to a street corner alone etc etc
Send parents and kids back TOGETHER
Finally, reporting on detention business, my son a green card holder for ten years before being deported was moves to four deferent detention center and new about this business.
This places aren't New Adelanto the place this guy is talking about is been around for a long time
They need to be held regardless of the kind of facility, namely government or privately owned.
Okay and ur trying to say what? He knew he broke the law so he's taking it like a Man.
Why was he deported?
Yeah, I'm sure they came looking for your son just to deport him for fun, even though he holds a green card. You better check with your lying son what crime he committed to get his ass deported.
There is another situation that the documentary forgets to mention obviously.
Mexican mom 8 1/2 months pregnant crosses the border and gives birth. The child by default has American citizenship (MAJOR LEGAL FLAW).
Now all family members want to “reunite” with the newborn baby, in the USA of course, invoking family reunification.
“Pero nunca se le ocurre” that they could actually take the friggin’’ baby back home and reunite with him there!
Maybe they can’t because the baby is an American citizen. The law would have to change.
@@pamelaromero8282 I lived in Mexico as a US citizen so, it is possible 🤦♂️
Thats true I don't agree with people coming here and give birth its just not right anyway you look at it .i myself am from hispanic origins but that is just wrong
Most of those women aren't mexicans , they are central americans women ..........
@@samirchavi5121 same to me
That last comment hurt me as a citizen myself. I've worked with immigration and immigrants and hearing some of the pain and horror they had and continue to have is hard and then hearing and seeing the injustice some of these cases endure is heart breaking. We need a better system
The problem isn't the familes and young men seeking work to send back or to support their families but those illegally crossing in large groups being abused, sex trafficked and bled dry of thousands of dollars for a Coyote to show the way. Its sick
Trump will be back soon get ready immigrants 😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
They came on THEIR own WILL. LIFE IS NOT A BED OF ROSE PETALS.
ZTELL YOU WHAT. " GET UNDER YOUR WING FEW OF THEM ."
DID THAT. PAID FOR IT."
Our tax dollars paying for all this luxury services. Horrendous
MS 13 coming to a high school near you , Thanks democrats .
Thank you so much for creating this piece. I will share it far and wide. It's too easy for people to turn a blind eye to the realities of this horrific situation. Based on some of the comments below, some people will never see this as the multi-layered humanitarian crisis that it is. Is it because they lack empathy and human compassion? Or is it just that they don't see the migrants as human. I pray for all of them.
☮️ n ❤️
The USA citizens do have compassion and empathy. We have more homeless people than South America. Come here legally and learn to speak our language and become a citizen.
It's because there is a protocol to becoming a citizen here, AS WITH ANYWHERE ELSE, & as life is...WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING BADLY, YOU WILL WORK FOR IT. LIKE THE ONES WHO HAVE "DONE THE WALK, LEGALLY" WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY. This isn't a GAME, THIS IS REAL LIFE, & if in case you missed it, TAKE A LOOK @ THE HUNGRY, ABUSED, NEGLECTED, OVERLOOKED & MURDERED CHILDREN/ PEOPLE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY FIRST. EVERYONE WITH HALF A BRAINCELL KNOWS...YOU CAN'T HELP ANYONE IF YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF FIRST! This includes A COUNTRY.
Great work by The Texas Tribune, shining a light on the limitless greed that underpins America's immigration system is what we need if we're ever going to fix it. Thanks to all at TTT.
Geo did a bunch of hiring 2017-2018 in Southeast Georgia and by 2020 due to deportations, Geo closed down that specific location that hired all those people. That one summer, you heard the commercial on the radio like twice an hour.
What is geo in Georgia?
That last thing said here was the best!! U dont just show up and money starts falling from the sky u have to work really really hard and make a million sacrafices
It's very simple. Come tru s port of entry the right way. If you come illegal (key word) expect the consequences
How can anyone in Honduras save $7000.00? The average American making 50 grand can't save that much. If you have 7 grand in Honduras, that is like $50,000 saved in the US. You would be set for years with 7 thousand in Central America. That part of this does not make any sense.
Man what a great documentary. Happy for heily and their family.i just hope everything gets resolve and they get to stay and make money in the USA. Theres more families like this,its just sad.All they want is a better future for their families. God bless them all 🙏🏼❤

yea but they are breaking the law
@@miacenter643 exactly
Better future? 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂gtfoh
Ok Trumpers... 😉
i grow up in ussr. what size of country. border was guarded so good , that people could not get out. this is all politics. same in europe
She doesn't deserve to be a mother never would I let anything separate me from my children... its the peoples fault for crossing not the states law
One simple solution....dont break the law, use the front door and sign the guess book and all this suffering could be avoided. Freedom aint free!
How can someone in jail pay more for something than someone who has a job
So sad, thank you for informing us
It’s like trying to smuggle candy into a movie, you could stand in line and pay for the over priced candy or you can run the risk and smuggle in your own. If your caught is it someone else’s fault our yours.
Fuckn' idiot!
Over here comparing lives to movie theater candy. Get tf outta here jackass 😂
@@Spicy_guero right he acting like paying 12 dollars for a candy bar compares to kids and people crossing the border. They like to blame the ppl who have been an effect of a failed war on drugs and ignore the bigger problems.
Fuck Trump
@@juliogarcia3549 I love this guy already yeah"FUCK TRUMP"
God Bless you for locking up the threat against our national security.
We need to do our part too and stop sending guns and ammo south of the border.
I was a green card holder after moving to the US age 8 … I never bothered to get my citizenship when eligible at age 18 due to running around young, wild and dumb …
With that being said, I got my first felony at 19 and 3 more at 22 … once I tried to renew my GC and having these charges on my record .. they put me thru deportation proceedings and ultimately deported me. I don’t have anybody to blame but myself … I acted in such a way that I was eligible for deportation and the federal government chose to excercise that right … had I followed the law, I could still be enjoying my life there rather than having to re settle and have wayyy less opportunity here …
Going from 35k people under Obama to 44k people isn't that big of a deal. They're trashing Trump for absolutely nothing. Ridiculous.
That mother is lucky her daughter didn’t die or else! Her mother is to blame, she should be arrested in her home country for what she did!!
Shut the fuck up bitch
That would make no sense cause the US had taken her in, making her be in custody of the US so they would be the ones to blame
If you don't want to go to detention facilities stay the hell in your own country. Simple as that.
Listen you dumb f*** this is our land and it's been that way for thousands of years
@@vatolocosforever803 Listen you dumb fuck this is our land now. It was American Indians land For thousands of years before that. We took 1/3 from Mexico and not giving it back..
@@popholmes5825 yes you are giving it back you can do your General Custer thing and do your last stand. what's coming is coming.. we are the majority in Texas ,which Texas is the biggest state in the US. we are the majority in California ,and the u.s. is going to look no different from the people in Mexico... don't believe by 2040/ 2050 we will be the majority in the US .. don't believe me Google it RUclips it do whatever you want
@@popholmes5825
This is what you call God's will cuz it's being done without no bullets or bombs
Detention centers serve their purpose and I'm all for enforcing immigration laws but what was happening a few years ago was almost the equivalent to the concentration camps of ww2. America would most likely be like Nazis Germany by now if it was not for the left. As retarded as those tree huggers might seem at times they have saved hundreds of thousands of American and Latin American lives. They are the ones keeping the Trump administration in check and if it were not for them the administration would be out of control and there would be a all out civil war in this country.
Moral of story.. dont cross illegally and put your children or yourself and family endanger and these kind of things will not happen.
Tonalli Girl what if they’re fleeing there country because a gang or cartel is threatening there lives with death for no reason ? What’s your advice ?
Naw you dont know ab it enough to speak on it .
@@johncorrugedo5877 the answer to your question is there are many other countries go to one of them or prove your Asylum case In court In the United States but don't come across illegally.
@@johncorrugedo5877 Fix your country, America (tax payers) can not fund everyone in this world who has it bad.
They should ask these people what gives you the right to enter another country without permission
Remember people: when there is a demand, there will ALWAYS be a supply..👌🏾
Anyone who wants to come into the us come through the front door not the back door.....come in the legal way no excuses
The guy at the end of the video hit different 🥺
I have seen the buses full of thousands of asylum seeking illegal immigrants with and without children dropped off at churches and bus stations in the past couple months. So if it was truly ALL about the money they would ALL be in detention centers. February had over 70,000 people cross ILLEGALLY..
In Dallas county jail a 19 cent ramen costs 85 cents.
Omg, how many people were in the back of that truck!!!
how do shelters get 250 A DAY per migrant child when most families on welfare get about that a month per American child?
Best process is done leagally
And about 20 years and a lot of fees for paperwork and lawyer fees. These people pawned their house for 3k imagine in 20 years how much that totals
I had it worse in Lafayette Louisiana Parish County Jail in work release program $0.37 a day and you only got paid every two weeks but you had to pay outrageous prices just to go work to get money for commissary and personal items in their Parish I hear you
Do it the right way & avoid the mess even if it takes longer.
So right... Makes no sense Haley looked happy and healthy had chickens to eat in the yard in a warm climate, going to school. Her mom was crazy to risk losing her to traffickers for a "better" life. Too much TV making people believe the grass is greener. Unless you are in a war torn country running for your life there is no reason to try this boarder crossing.
It sucks how he put the lil girl through so much danger some parents are wild
Nice work Trib!
I don’t thing she lost the video, she just want to protect her family from the coyotes
Why is it they blame everyone but themselves. This family put that beautiful child in Horrific danger. Then when they Become a victim of their own crime, they want to always blame somebody else.
0:52 😂
Dont understand
Deep af like how tf were they so flat in the bed couldnt even tell it was 15 people back there lol
They know the scam…….fix their own countries first
Its so simple dont make the trip.
Hey I’m all for you guy coming here just get a visa do it legally.
When I was in the County Jail we would talk to the guys that were detained in the ICE section and their mattress are nice thick ass mattresses and their clothes is New when they first get it and like I said we dont have to work but we dont get time off if we dont work and you dont go to the hole if u dont work that's a LIE I've done plenty of time I dont have nothing against anybody but when u want to sit there and lie and complain that shit just gets me mad,I went to Prison cause I broke the Law and so did they too.
Yeah they broke the law wanting to feed their family, you broke the law because you wanted fast money
maybe he wanted to feed his family too idiot
@@miacenter643 you don’t see me committing a crime to feed my self or family, but I feel you that’s the only choice he must of had in this country huh🤣
@@pineappleexpressnetwork4942 some people aren’t fortunate enough to get a job.
Thank you there's more funding in the feds illegals get treated better than citizens!
How case management cost four dollars a day? How about lodging, meals, transportation, professional fees? This guy on 14:16 does not sound right
Wow so much wrong with everything about all of this for all involved without a doubt the one who did nothing wrong and makes me hurt to see suffering are the children . I can understand a parent wanting a better life for their children but I cannot understand putting them in that kind of dangerous situations . How do they not now about the dangerous situations on both sides of the borders there putting their children in ? I truly don’t and can’t possibly understand I get that I don’t know that kind of struggle I am blessed that I was born and have lived as a Texan . I don’t see any kind of solution for all of these issues besides trying to immigrate to the U.S. legally . Honestly I’m not even sure doing that is a good ideal right now so much corruption and uncertainties in the U.S. these days . God please watch over these children please protect them any kind of harm that the evils in this world would do to them . I wish there was a easy button for all of this but not even in the U.S. do we get that .
min 8: yeah, right, she lost the video...
Why don't you believe her? It might have gotten deleted by mistake, phone got cleaned out, something
Why it is that in Africa they speak English easily but in South America, which is just a neighbor to the US, many don't speak English. I am from the Philippines and it is so common for a Spanish person to approach locals here and ask, Do you speak Spanish? This I find to be pure arrogant. It is also very common for a spanish person to ask, Do you speak Spanish in the US. They want to come to US, but English language is given no importance to them. Even the poorest of the poorest community in Aftrica or Philippines can speak little English or atleast they try to.
Stop the Cartels.
There’s always going to be people that make bad decisions
I agree with you
I guess they should've just stayed at home
This not the way. Having children in a poverty stricken place and then running off to a foreign land to take you in is crazy. That little girl could have been interfered with, and the husband killed. Yet the US is complicit in helping keep their countries messed up by interfering with their economies and partaking in the drug trafficking and gun smuggling throughout Latin America. So how do you change it? By bringing awareness to all sides of what is happening. Beginning with why their countries are so poor and controlled by drug gangs, before documenting fleeing people.
THEY PAY THE CARTELS 7000 BUCKS ... THERN HALF DONT EVEN MAKE IT HERE. BLAME THOSE COUNTRIES NOT THE USA FOR TRYING OT STOP THEM FROM COMING HERE ILLEGALLY
23:26 100% accurate
Exactemente!!!! I lived in Mexico for two years with my husband literally nothing but dust and Goten a little square building was our only home we'll use the bathroom outside but we were free United States is not free at all whatsoever we are controlled completely 100% don't come here nobody!
Quiet crossing.
Andrew Free; what an apt last name for a lawyer.
This video seems to focus on facilities near the border, but inmates are shipped wherever there's bed space, including Wisconsin. CCA Seems to have a Good Reputation with Federal Detainees that are Anglo American Citizens and the Migrant I met Said he Prefers being Detained by GEO Group in Brooks County as Opposed to having to pay rent as an Illegal immigrant living in a Colonia on someone's ranch, although he said it was his third time going through the system and he didn't plan to return
But that's only if they show up to their court summons
@ Beau Dean. Your great grand parents did the same. Illegally came into the United States of America looking for a better life for themselves and eventually YOU!!! Numbnuts!!!! People are just wanting to take a life changing chance. I don't think you have a leg to stand on when it comes to this situation. We are making those private companies rich by paying taxes. DO WE REALLY NEED TO PAY ANYONE ANY OF OUR HARD EARNED MONEY??? WHO MADE UP THOSE RULES??? AND WHO SAYS WE CAN'T CHANGE THEM??? I THINK WE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS CAN DICTATE WHERE WE WANT OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY TO GO.

This is so sad, unfortunately it's what happens(ed) when you get caught entering the US illegally. We welcome all legal immigrants and realistically most anyone not caught crossing the border. It's heartbreaking anyway you look it.
Lol did u not read a history book ? England came here and IMMIGRATED. Then broke off difference is the US passport is the most valuable so u can use it to fly wherever vs any other passport.
They will go home When the jobs dry up
The world is a big game play to win
And my dumbass wants to start a taco stand 😂
That’s fucked up, why separate a child from there father or mother knowing the child doesn’t know anything.
That's fucked up, coming here ILLEGALLY
They complain about poverty in their countries, n when they get detained, fed, medically attended when they get the opportunity to work n get paid they complain about been exploited...
Staying at home seems a better option ppl.
So sad, people put their children trough this mess.
I was at a 'core civic' facility. They make money but bad staff

Just don't buy/smoke Tina, Yay-O, or Chiva and they shall not make any scrilla, my friend.
the last statement is true you work all your life to pay for your life style cause as far as you owning something you never will.
This should sent a message to anyone thinking about coming into our country. I’m glad they are charging them to be in prison and for us tax payers paying for them. This is a lesson to anyone coming in our country the USA...
Stay wer ir from and make it better America is falling not worth it trust me people same shit every wer ..stay safe
these parents have committed a serious case of neglect for their children, and somehow we ensure that this sort of thing is not encouraged. therefore I dont feel its so sad when these children are separated for a period of time as this is normal in places in the west like here in Australia.
porque asta ahora lo ensenan cuando esto a estado pasando

Fantastic video. I feel for these people. My neighbors are from South Korea. Yes it took a few years to do it the legal way. Didn’t know there was so much money in the private prisons
Who are the owner of each of these facilities?
I do agree, its not effective. Hes 100% correct about coast effectiveness. Have tbeir families pay a fine for comming over like that. For at least through the second Generation. Then be granted normal tax range and benefits.
Cartels suck.
This is so horrible
