Border Patrol Chief | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 дек 2024
- Recently retired Border Patrol Chief Chris Clem served 27 ½ years in El Paso, Texas, and more recently, Yuma, Arizona. Since retiring from his position, he has worked in the private sector combating human trafficking and other online and social exploitation.
Theo is joined by a former Border Patrol Chief to talk about what’s really been going on at the U.S. / Mexico border. They talk about the history that led up to our current situation, the difference between immigration policy and border security, how the Cartel exploits migrants for money, the politicization of the border from both sides, and what needs to be done to fix it.

THEO VON THE ONLY PODCASTER TALKING TO REAL PEOPLE AND NOT THE SAME RECYCLED CELEBRITIES AND RECYCLED STORIES THAT EVERY PODCAST DOES.
Yeah seems Rogan has Redban, Gillis and Trussell on every few weeks lol
Daniel Tosh is doing a great job with this as well.
@jwt155 Yeah but I'll be honest. That podcast got boring pretty quick. Theo interviews morticians, hookers, and police. Tosh interviews his interior designer.
Realest mfer in the game.
Shawn ryan as well
The contrast between episodes like this one compared to ones intended to be fun and a break from day-to-day life, really make this one of the most valuable podcasts available.
Right… I learn so much in these type of episodes and still have a few laughs
I was thinking the same thing! I like this side of Theo, it's an extremely serious issue and deserves serious conversation!!!🙏🙏🙏
He goes between tradesman, law enforcement, and now Donald Trump and other politicians. It's wild. I love it.
I worked with Chris in New Mexico, he's a great guy and great leader. He represents the Patrol well, thanks Chris!
You should reach out to theo and do a follow up interview! I'd love to hear your personal thoughts ❤
There's no such thing as a good cop, because if there were, bad cops wouldn't exist.
thank you for your time, and service brother!
Clem is a piece of shit. I went to a funeral of a fallen agent that he spoke at. Clem lied about meeting him then proceeded to talk about himself for the remainder of the talk. He's also been accused of being the reason someone committed suicide in Yuma. His ego is way bigger than his brain. You are literally the first person I've ever heard say anything positive about him as a "leader".
A wealthy guy from Pakistan is buying four airfares bypassing at least two countries (UK and Germany) with better healthcare and welfare than the US. Buying another plane ticket and paying the cartel all for the grand prize treated like dirt here in the US and get a low paying job. Sounds reasonable
I love that Theo loves this country. He isn’t hateful but just wants safety and fairness.
Like anybody worth admiring
All ppl with money loves their country and even some poor ppl
....and justice for the "poor whites"
@@vvinterghost interestingly enough there seems to be a trend of people with a lot of money increasingly hating the country and always taking the predictable "America bad" line of logic.
@@vvinterghostPlenty of poor people who love this country and plenty of rich people who hate this country, or at least make an effort to spread their negative bile into the media and social culture.
"I don't even know what's going on; and I know what's going on."
Preach, brother.
Telling real stories with real people, truly one of your strengths, Theo. Gang, gang!
💯 ! Love the episode and information. A friendly note to the Chief, gotta let your host get in there and ask questions and follow-up with comments. I appreciate your service to this country.
That's asinine I hope your joking.
@@blistablissIf you're going to be a dick; at least use punctuation.
@@blistabliss Agreed.
My Comment Has Been Blocked for the Truth Saying 357k Migrants Flown to Swing States told to Vote Blue, Democrats are trying to figure out How to allow them to Vote based on Allowing states to make the decision on if they allow migrans (calling them Residents of that state) saying Residents can vote in the state. Democrats Plan Exposed!
As much as I read and get understanding from the general news, there’s nothing better than hearing from the employee that’s been through the direct thick and thin.
Thank you Theo, you’re my guy.
This guy is like a VP in a company and since the government is a business, he's going to paint it all rosy.
I like how Theo is just one of us so he asks all the right questions and gets the guy to really explain the basics so we can understand.
This is the most informative interview I’ve ever listened to on the topic. Without someone like Theo, who approached this conversation as a genuinely curious and concerned citizen, these types of conversations always turn into a pissing match between politicians who start finger pointing and blaming each other and it completely blocks real dialogue, and forces people to tune out. This was such a refreshing conversation that cut all of that bullshit out. Learned a lot during this. Thanks Theo!
I'm certain that I don't vote the way this retired Border Patrol Chief does, and I agree with you. I do think it would be helpful also to have someone on who can speak to immigration policy and enforcement of immigration law. Discussion of the establishment of the Temporary Protected Status program in 1990 under immigration law was missed and it was *hugely* impactful to the history of immigration for this country. An administration's foreign policy also heavily influences its immigration policy / how it enforces immigration law. Example: My ex-inlaws are retired, middle class (but grew up working class) academics who were being threatened by government and army officials in their native South American country that was controlled by a dictator. Of course, they were loudly opposed to this dictator (as the US also has been). They actually had a credible case for asylum but decided to come on tourist visas instead, because if you choose to file for asylum, you understandably lose status if you return to your country of origin. Get this: they had green cards within 9 mos. of their feet touching US soil. I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly fast that is. It just doesn't happen that way... unless you are maybe earnest academics who are on the correct side of US foreign policy. These folks were not wealthy - so it wasn't that. Upshot: having the additional perspective of a foreign affairs / immigration policy expert really would round out all of the fascinating data presented by this guy.
@@Nonameforyoudangit yea I definitely agree with the voting thing, and appreciate the perspective you added. Certainly this interview doesn’t dive deep enough into the nuances of immigration policy, which is necessary to understand the full picture. Obviously there is some bias baked into the viewpoint presented, but overall I think he did a good job of being considerate of other perspectives - even if it was just a surface level conversation.
@breeezy1017 He really did present a fact-based informative picture of the issues at the border, and I appreciated that. I'm no expert but have had a bit of coursework on immigration. The bit of immigration info I retained is rattling around with the facts he presented. Fascinating and concerning. I love my country... although I'm thinking it's time to get serious about getting my EU passport... just in case.
@@Nonameforyoudangitgoing to the EU? Most of those countries have the same problem with immigration. You’d be running into a bigger shit show than you’re already surrounded by.
@@prestonsadler7636 It's not our immigration crisis that scares me.
Thank you Theo, I've sent this to several people, because this was TRUTH. Factual and politicians should change a LOT of outdated laws. Well done sir!
Thanks for sticking your neck out for this one, Theo. Probably sucks to be one of the only guys willing to have these conversations but God knows you're in a position to have an impact. It means a lot to regular people.
Nothing to do with the Fairy Man.
@Les_Grossman80 do you tell that to Muslims, or just Christians? 😂
@@Madonnalitta1 anyone who will listen.
Pointless comment @@Les_Grossman80
@@Madonnalitta1 I bet I know the answer.
We used to listen to politicians and laugh at comedians, now we laugh at politicians and listen to comedians.
underrated comment. 🔥
You win the internet.😂😂😂😂😂
Great comment
Nothing new. Stewart and colbert during George w and Carlin/Hicks during Bush sr.
Perfectly stated.
Only the jester may speak truth to power in the king’s court
This gentleman was super informative. I appreciated his ability to talk fair and not bash the political parties but rather explain what each did well and what each did wrong.
I haven’t heard anything the democrats did well lol
@@TreesRLifeX he stated a few times they did things that benefited the border agents but obviously wasn’t a ton of compliments 😂
I honestly love when Theo brings on real people with real jobs. You can tell he’s so passionate about the middle-class culture of America, while clearly being a part of the upper class in someway. Thank you for your continued conversations with the part of America that makes a difference.
The only podcast host to do the episodes that matter. We need more regular citizens getting the spotlight like this.
💯
That’s not true there are a few that are actually having conversations that matter.
Check out Russell Brand and Tucker Carlson
PBD also to be honest
Tim Dillon is a national treasure
Great podcast . I worked at a immigration court that processed asylum applications. This was well explained by the border patrol, especially the human trafficking going on by the cartels. Everything he said was on point.
Thanks for confirming.
Refreshing to see someone actually educated about a topic of importance be capable of sitting down and discussing it for hours at a time.
I laughed so hard at 31:11 The border security said living in a bad neighborhood isn't asylum. Theo said "Thats Jacksonville.."
lol glad someone else caught that
He ain’t wrong lol
yeah ummm reducing cartel violence to a bad neighborhood is crazy tho that's like saying Ukraine is just going through a disagreement with Russia
@@Johnny-tq9no Well I'm pretty sure FL is doing the best they can to maintain control over the cartel there. At least it's not overrun with cartel like CA. I lived there before and I'll never go back
He ain't lying lol
Thank you so much for this, Theo. This was soooo good, very balanced and thorough. I absolutely loved that Chief Clem was stiff on solutions and needs, and shedding light on reality but at the same time, he also described the devastating situation that aspiring migrants have to face like not being able to get a legal visa due to the backlog.
I was a bilingual news reporter on the San Diego-Tijuana border from 2019-2022, the policies during that time + the pandemic + the Ukrainian flow of migrants + the lack of border patrol agents + a new president was overwhelming and devastating. Even more difficult was trying to be a fair and balanced reporter when you don’t have autonomy to state facts as you witnessed them. I wish I could be interviewed by Theo to continue contributing to this topic, the conversation must go on. 🙏🏽
You should try emailing him. I feel like your interview would be very interesting.
This is the kind of guests/ discussions you should have Theo. This is awesome
Not boring ass country singers lol
Nice to hear from someone on the ground with over 20+ years of experience. This is how you achieve depth when discussing an issue.
This guy needs to go on a podcast tour. Everyone needs to hear this
Theo, your killing it! Had my Mom watch the NDE episode and it really helped her with my Dads recent passing. So thank you brother. God bless you man.
That’s very sweet man. God bless your family.
That was one of my favorite episodes of all time, it really helped me a lot too with thoughts of life after death and all of that. It’s nice to hear it’s helped other people too like your mom 😊
God bless you and your family
sorry to hear about your dad brother, glad to hear that helped your mom and I hope it helped you. He’s watching don’t worry. And you are a great Human being for not mentioning your own pain. THAT is what God wants ❤️🏁❤️
@@StoreRunDotCom he truly is. Ive had the privilege to see God so clearly in my life. He’s very real.
"I dont even know whats going on and I know whats going on." Probably the most accurate statement by Theo about how oblivious politicians are.
@@wyattgrigor1995it’s only bizarre to you if you assume everyone has the best interest of the people at heart. When the curtain falls and you see how depraved the government is you see this is all on purpose: then it makes sense
Politicians aren’t oblivious. This is intentional.
They’re paid off by corporations and men so rich the average person can’t wrap their minds around it.
Our govt had been bought and people need to wake up. This is why they’re going after Trump so hard, he’s not part of their cool kids club.
Wake up and vote for Trump. Both parties are completely corrupt but he’s an outsider as far as politics go.
It’s probably too late to do anything now but at least Trump is trying.
@@Cts_99Preach. I’ve said this so many times. Plenty of people in my life CONSTANTLY say things like “how is the government this stupid!?” “How are all of our politicians so incompetent?!” I tell them they’re not stupid, it’s on purpose. They know full well what they are doing. None of them believe they are doing a good job securing our border. It’s intentional and their motives are where speculation comes into play.
i like this guy. He doesn't seem to have hate in his heart or animosity towards people from another country he just seems to value our border and works hard to uphold it.
Many law enforcement officers genuinely want to help and protect others- without bias! Don’t let the media trick you into think all LEO are assholes!
Like he said - no one hates a bad cop more than a good cop! They hate bad cops too!!
Who has hate or animosity?? ALL THAT ANYONE EVER SAYS IS THAT THEY WANT PEOPLE TO DO IT THE RIGHT AND LEGAL WAY . THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH !!!!!
@@Makavelifourlifeyou’d be surprised man
@@Makavelifourlifebrother most of them are just blatantly racist and ignorant . Just like you being ignorant
“I would beat the horchata out of that guy” as a latino, that was hilarious Theo
Massive props to Theo for featuring the everyday heroes and sharing the real stories that we can't get from "news" outlets. Every time I turn around, he's got another groundbreaking interview that I can't wait to listen to.
This guy is not a hero lol alot of his news” is not real but thats okay only immigrants know the real truth behind all of these ppl with uniforms….
It’s always refreshing to see a really intelligent man on the podcast plus whoever Theos guest is.
Giving this man a platform is an awesome move! Thank you, Theo! Don’t change.

This nation has gotten to a point where I go to Theo for news and not the media.
I was just saying the same thing. If you want real news you have to go to certain podcasters these days. Crazy times we’re living in these days
Ditto
This needs to be replayed over and over. This guy is accurately depicting multiple broken processes in our system...it makes you wonder why it hasn't been changed.
It’s child/sex trafficking among the elites.
The single most positive comment section in podcast RUclips, and more than deserved
“He thinks he’s Cesar Chavez” 😭😂 Theo has me dying. Thank you for keeping it real Theo!
Hes looking to date latinas lol you should DM him no cap
(your welcome Theo)
@@ivywoodxrecords Haha
I wouldn’t be surprised if RUclips buries this video in the basement. Very informative and honest about what really goes on regarding our borders. They don’t want you to know this.
Gang gang. 🤙🏽
Opening the internet to see Theo’s face and hearing ‘Shine’ hits my reset button every time. Suddenly, all is ok in my life again ❤
He really does perk me up and get me out the bad thoughts
Shine changed my life
Absolutely! Same! 💛
Shine!!!!!!
We don't need this cheap asss labor here in the USA
This was a great episode, Theo! Chief Clem did a phenomenal job speaking to the solutions. Give the agents tasked with protecting us the tools they need to do their jobs safely and stop using them as pawns that are dispensable. You’re willingness to say “I don’t know” and ask questions really made this an informative episode no matter how much or little you know.
It's amazing the quality of guests Theo Von manages to consistently book.
Great podcast, Chris was very well spoken and informative. Thanks for having regular people on Theo
“That’s Jacksonville” 😂😂
Theo with the quick hitters! 🥊
Gang gang. Duval
He’s Sugar Ray of comedy 😂😭
I guess I'll just be honored that he mentioned my hometown😂

This podcast has episodes that make me laugh until I cry but this is Theo’s best episode yet!
Yeah, this is probably my favorite episode.
That breakdown at 1:45:32 of the money trail.... wow... what a waste and fraud this whole situation is in our country... such a big mess.
We absolutely love this new format. We get the effort you’re putting in to this vet this people and we appreciate it!! They’ve been great
As someone who has lived in so cal my whole life and have heard this conversation for the 25 years I’m still shocked on the numbers. Especially now knowing about the suicides I’m devastated knowing this is going on in my backyard. Time to take care of our people FIRST
Genuinely learned so much from this podcast. You are doing such great work Theo! Keep it up my man
Theo you are a hero. Plz keep giving real people behind politicized issues a voice.
I appreciate Theo taking time to try to bring awareness to major issues going on with our country definitely makes me love him more ✌🏻✌🏻
I love that Theo interviews real ppl! I get tired of seeing the same guest on every podcast
For real... my favorite is that Jimmy John's guy.
No for real tho ! The New York garbage man an the mortician are two of my favorite pod episodes from any pod over the past few years I can recall
@@GoodCookinAquariushaven’t seen this one ima have to go find this 😂
Theo is a real one for having this conversation on his pod!
I'm triggered! Everything is racist! Reeeeeee!!!!
Incredibly informative interview. Thanks to this chief for sitting down and having this important conversation.
Theo I love it when you have the "regular" people on. So interesting. Thank you my man!
My favorite thing about your podcast is that you interview regular everyday people. It shows normal people have things important to say, and the podcast dialogue shouldn't just be held by rich and famous people.
That’s why I love Daniel Tosh’s podcast.
-not a paid advertisement
Tell that to Joe Rogan!!
google this guy, he's paid by right wing lobbyists to further a right wing agenda, it's not rocket science, google is your friend
Its clear you love your country Theo. You're a good man
Theo Von is by far one of the top 3 if not the best journalist in this country…. and he’s a comedian. I love it keep it up!
😅😅
Dude is honestly a genius to let the real people speak for the problems, instead of burying out bs.
Haha crazy huh?
Loooove when he podcasts with regular people and not just celebs! 👌🏼
I like this side of Theo, it's an extremely serious issue and deserves serious conversation!!! I don't understand how both parties aren't trying to secure our borders!!!🙏🤔🙏
Shout to Theo, giving us the interviews that we need. Very informative interview.
He got that pidgeotto cut 😂

Email him.
I adjudicate asylum applications for a living and it was so refreshing to hear this conversation. Thank you Theo
Theo truly becoming an American Hero in front of our eyes.
He’s always felt this way. He makes fun of politics as a whole, but he’s a white guy from the south. He’s been conservative for awhile.
@@Jason21012 I agree, but he’s inviting more serious types of guests on lately to talk about legitimate American issues. I think it’s great to see.
@@Jason21012White guys from the South are not automatically conservative. Most people nowadays who are “right wing” aren’t even conservative. The leftists are just forcing people away from them with all of this crazy stuff they are doing. Our country is sinking like the titanic and instead of fixing it they’re trying to grab all the fine china before making it on a lifeboat.
@@shainebabjeck9403 Well, I think that's because the situation in America has really gotten that bad. Where even normal funnymen who want nothing to do with the political world have to get involved because its in some way effecting them. It's a sad state of affairs of what's going on in America.
@@GiganticWeen that was my exact point. I agree with you.

Bloody great pod theo. Chris is a very well spoken man. Very informative and factual. Well done, with love from jodie in Australia 🇦🇺 x
The kind of conversations we need right now to bring this problem to light. Well done Theo.
I married a illegal immigrant ( I divorced a year and a half ago. ) all his dirty laundry came out and I’m just shocked, he was a repeat offender! He had crossed twice, fake social, like I don’t even think his name is real. It’s so scary he stole from me and left me for a dude. I was under so much mental oppression from him calling me a loser and just putting me down but the entire time it was a cover up!
I’m telling you the audacity some of the illegal immigrants have is horrible.
He is such a bad person I’m thankful to god and my intuition im still alive.
Literally the weirdest thing when you find out your living a complete lie.
Its horrid. Absolutely disgusting he definitely disabled me which led to my family it just goes down the line man. It’s horrible. But something inside of my heart and soul ( definitely the Holy Spirit ) helped me kick him out and never saw him again.
He’s trying to come check in but no way Jose I block him and deter him forget that. I shouldn’t have to feel unsafe in the states I’m a full blooded American.
Crazy thing is you would never think he was like this.
Over here in San Antonio Texas thanks for the posts Theo!
PS. Homie has even been here crossed twice within two years ( I was with him for 7 years and lil info trickles out ) he has never paid taxes and he still had his w2 sent to my old house where he made 62 grand total workin as a chef in restaurants ) never paid a single American dollar and hates Americans with a passion. He hated me for being American!!!
It’s cringey 1:04:27
I always filed my taxes to this day buddy I refuse to ever go against my country USA 🇺🇸
I respect American law and land and his disrespect sent me over the edge.
Im seriously thinking of being a dang whistle blower bc I can’t even deal with this.
I don’t even comment but man oh man Theo you got me goin! Thanks Theo
thats horrible, im so sorry it happened to you, it must be traumatizing.. hope you already dealt with the trauma and find a better guy.. 🙏
and btw i couldnt help when i read that he left you for a dude 😂🤣😂😂 sorry😂
@@je__. haha been single since no kids so woo it worked out, I’m finally starting to speak up and tell my story on this, I think it’s pretty cool that Theo posted about the immigration and illegal immigrants because there is so much hidden stuff that is going on it’s crazy.
Finally I’m done being brainwashed it took me a long time but I’m pretty proud I posted this for whoever to read. I wouldn’t have done that before since he scared me but I finally don’t care.
Yes the boyfriend thing is the funny part about it. I’m cool with the LGBT wish he woulda told me but when dealing with a psychopathic liar about everything it’s like ok man you went a lil far there.
I think you did an amazing job of having a logical convo about this polarizing subject
this is a big and needed podcast episode!! Theo got the best guests
We don't need any cheap ass labor here. Then they ask why are there so many homeless.
*has, not got.Theo has, not got the best guests. Idiot.
Love that you are doing these types of interviews as well. It's an important topic.
Really enjoyed this interview. Great insight from someone with 30+ year career. Educational and a compassionate take on understanding border patrol, national policies, and resource allocation. This being a humanitarian issue, a world issue.
This interview was so interesting and informative! I absolutely love listening to dialogue that isn't dripping in political rhetoric. I SOOO appreciate your approach to situations just to learn and understand!!
Great interview Theo! You asked the questions we all have. Well done. The situation sucks. Thanks for bring to the light. Much love
Theo, your quality guests and inquisitive nature coupled with top tier comedic relief provides for one of the most relevant and informative sources of information available today.
Thank you for this and everything you do, brother.
Theo, as a Texas Hill Country native, I want to Thank you with all my heart for bringing Chris on your show, to shed light on a a situation that has such a significant impact on our
community. Chris has the professional background, as well as verifiable experiences with this issue- to speak out to the states in our union that are not border states / and educate them to at least see that the national emergency at our border has nothing to do with race or cruelty/ it is instead about protecting the American people❤ This issue has caused a Huge drain on funding and resources in our communities because the resources are given to illegal imigrant families / and not available to American families that pay the taxes to fund these programs. I have personally experienced when they come to our country/ commit a horrible crime/ and run back to Mexico to hide from American authorities. Look up the “Sheila Bellish” case in Boerne Tx 1997 or 1998.
Again, Theo - thank you, the more we can raise awareness about what truly goes on at the border, and how important it is to remember that there are people out there like Chris- a hard working Border Patrol agent who dedicate their lives to the service of protecting the American people 😊
I love these kinds of pods Theo. They feel so clear and honest from a direct perspective. I love your passion and honesty when ya don't know something, I thinnk it's super relatable to the general public and your audience. I love that you still slip a funny quip in as well.
Please keep doing these. They're incredibly important.
Ganggang ❤
my grandpa was a Bracerro. he did exactly what Chris Clem said. he came here to work (several times) and every time, went back home. it allowed him to save money to come on over. my dad however, did have to come over illegally (same thing, to work), but it was only to send money back because where he was from, cartel started taking over. my dad was amnestied in, and to this day, my dad still works 1-2 jobs and sends money back to take care of his mom. my dad now talks about the SAME THING that Chris said, "before, it was about just making money and going back, then it was about making money and supporting your family...but now, 90% of these illegal immigrants feel entitled to be given a new life while offering nothing to their new land". shame.
Respect for this post from you as a Mexican man
Just wait, if Trump gets back in office your dad will be sent back to where he came from.
I don't see how having people come over and take money out of the economy is better than having them and their families as residents in the country, paying their taxes, and providing a workforce. 6 billion USD is sent every year to El Salvador from El Salvadorians living in America, that doesn't seem helpful to the US economy.
@niftyp2320 ever heard of macroeconomics? Lol
@sicZ32 Ummm, I have a minor in economics, and not sure what that has to do with the comment. Macroeconomics are things like Interest rate, National productivity, unemployment rate etc.. seems exactly what that comment is referring to.
Thank you Theo for this interview.
I love the regular episodes because I laugh so hard, but Theo is such an insightful podcast host and question asker, these are some of my favorites as well
this dude is a great listen. very level headed and realistic, refreshing to hear
Yet another one of the countless reasons I adore you, Mr Theo Von. ❤️

It is OK to support immigration into our country and also support border security.
You are not a racist, nationalist, or bigot for having this opinion. You are an American and it’s OK to want to advocate for a safe country.
I agree, but that being said this dude is definitely racist
As a legal immigrant, it's sad that Americans have to even tell themselves that that is okay. It's supposed to be the norm for a country.
Yes but that's often used as a way to stop immigration altogether because it can take 15+ years to become a citizen

"Erosion of sympathy" nailed it
"Why is this happening" thank goodness someone is finally answering this. Thanks for this brother 🙏
The US has a lot of issues currently. Making a quicker path for migration should not be high on the list
Closing the border should be though!
America needs to find a solution to homelessness before bringing more people in.
Did you guys even listen to the podcast?
this is why its my favorite pod. interesting guests and positive vibez 💯💯💯

First timer here Theo . I must say every America needs to watch this guy. Now I understand this problem. Your doing God's work my brother. BTW I'm here to stay.
God isn’t involved
Thank you, Theo. You are excellent in carrying these thoughtful and intelligent interviews. Please keeps doing these. Fresh and insightful.
Peace. 🙏💫
What a great episode to shed some light on a problem we all can help with.
I feel so bad for those going through the immigration process the "right way".
I had a girlfriend who was here on a work visa for 2 years, she worked for CBRE at the time. Huge company. They let her go on September 8th 2023 and she had 60 days to find a new job or go. We weren't ready to get married yet, so a job was her only way to stay. To avoid breaking the law, she had to leave. And on October 29th 2023 before her visa expired, I took her to the airport after a couple months of sadness.
Because she didn't want to break the law.
I cried in my car at the departures section of O'hare airport in Chicago at 1am because I had to say goodbye to her when I dropped her off for her flight.
I wish her and the others going through this properly were able to get what they desire, which is to be here and work hard and lead clean honest lives in a great country. 🇺🇸
why didn’t u just marry her on paper?
my grandmother has lived in the US for 55 years. she had 3 children here, multiple businesses, and owns her house. she only has a green card because getting a citizenship isn’t worth it for her. its also thousands of dollars and so so so much paperwork.
thats ur fault u shouldve married her lmao
Didnt read too long. Best to all
You need to stop crying and grow a pair.
Great Interview, really breaks down what's going on. Unless you hear it from the Boots on the Ground it's hard to know what to believe. Folks on both sides need to get the real skinny, I will be sharing. Thanks to ya both.
Theo this was a fantastic interview, THANK YOU BOTH
Theo chose the best person to speak on the situation
"Piracy is a service issue"- Gabe Newel. This is true in immigration, too. Most people would do things the right way if the right way was sufficiently easy
"Our souls are sick." Indeed they are.
Being a Texan, this episode is super interesting and I love how unbiased this guys is. A true professional.
He is lukewarm. A fence sitter. Always gotta pick a side and have the courage to stand for truth no matter what. He is a loser.
Fantastic show Theo ❤❤❤
