Hola, soy Brent, el corresponsal en este video reportaje. Gracias por mirarlo y por prestar atención a la situación que se encuentran solicitantes de asilo trasladados por el EEUU a Guatemala. Si tienes algún comentario o duda sobre el video y el acuerdo de cooperación de asilo, escríbelo acá y yo te responderé.
Good work out there. How do you feel about the situation of these people?
These people are not our problem. With a global pandemic, shut the border down, and round up and deport all illegals. We have to take care of our own not the world. It is thievery to expect the American tax payer to take care of these people. Every dollar to them is a dollar stolen from Americans.
Hi Brent. You seem to be sympathetic to the plight of the migrants. Can the nytimes put them up in shelters somewhere in Soho or Chelsea? Is that possible?
Keep doing the great work
When you read the ugly comments responding to your work here--especially when compounded with the violence you've seen firsthand--what makes you decide to keep going, and not lose faith/hope/confidence in our species?
I live near LA. We have SO many homeless here and it's very sad. We should help out our own people first before we help other countries. USA First!
We will keep deporting them *America Is CLOSED! to non Americans*
atleast immigrants want to help themselves. most homeless americans are just lazy and want even more handouts. try giving a homeless guy in america 20 dollars. he will likely thank you and continue to ask for more money.
USA was the country to destabilze the south and the central America in the past. A lot of blame for the state they are in right now goes to USA.
I'm all about helping people in need but I live in N.y and were are overflowing with illegal immigrants...there are many who come and want to work and provide for their families...but there are many more who dont and take advantage of the welfare system and abuse the privilege of by being here by committing heinous crimes and cant be tracked... I often see people trashing the U.S physically and verbally which upsets me greatly....If I ran from a country of poverty and violence to a place of opportunity I would forever be grateful, contribute to the economy, show my appreciation in anyway I could and be proud to be in this country...Who ever dosen't feel that way should not be here.
Kitty Kat well said
Agreed
Within the first 30 secs of the video, I can't help but think how glad I am the Philippines president is wiping out drug syndicates & dealers before they become this strong.
I wouldn’t exactly praise duterte either...
Yeah. And encouraging citizens to murder people that even look like drug addicts. Cool dude. -_-
She is to seek asylum in the border country not U.S.
@TangoX and what’s your suggestion on how to fix that? What percentage of these people are usually allowed to stay in this country?
Why aren't you blurring their faces their suppose to be in hiding this isn't hiding them .
He seem to be helping MS13.
Then he'll blame President Trump !
I know these reporters need stories but not for lives or others or even himself common sense .
Suprise surprise
He's an MS13 Sympathiser 😅😅😅
Why else would anyone not blur their faces ?
He hid the face of the woman fleeing MS13. The others weren’t, so it doesn’t matter.
it is just another attempt at a hit piece on Trump.
It should be open season on MS 13... But nooooooo, apparently they got rights.
@Madtroid Thank you 🤟
Why would the US want to import their problems? Poverty, MS-13, these are not US issues and no one wants them here. They could solve their problems with concerted effort to clean up their country but that would require them to take charge of their own destiny. They'd rather try to come here and let us take care of them.
MS 13 is a gang that started in Los Angeles
I feel sorry for those people! However, We have how many homeless in California? Many homeless and victims of crime and poverty already here that we don’t take care of mostly by design! Whole generations ruined but I am here with these issues
i never saw it from that perspective!! you're right!!
We have a lot of problems in the USA. It's sad that we cant help everyone but we just cant. Look at what's going on now? Beggars cant be choosers.
I get what you're saying, but its easier said than done. I'm salvadorean, I know. Gangs run the country. If you own a business you have to pay the gangs money you dont have or you die.
Ending the failed drug war is free and simple
@I AM EL NINO!
Yeah it's called ending expensive tax payer funded interference
Asylum seekers are REQUIRED by international law to go to the NEXT CLOSEST bordering country where their life is not in IMMEDIATE danger. Not just a free pass to the USA because it’s obviously better than MEX or other American countries further south.
Josh Krebs I don’t understand why either. America is not that great for example their healthcare! Yikes.
This is what happens when civilians can't own guns and defend themselves, combined with an ineffective government
If i'm paying someone $500 hundred a month to stay in business, they will help with marketing & get me new customers..
Sad.
The solution is not for them to come to the US, but to provide measures to eradicate ms13. If it’s killing all of them in cold blood then so be it.
Central americans need to handle their own problems.why do we have to help everyone?
Because it helps your economy.
Poland's government paints itself as right wing and anti-immigrant, but they have marked themselves out as smarter than Trump by allowing more migrants to enter than any other EU country.
The idea that immigration hurts the economy is a myth. Look at the stats.
Helping others Is a gift
The TNTsheep where can I go to find some stats?
@@joshman844 Google is your best friend 😉
There's a nice video by The Economist that they did recently too
The TNTsheep thx
Someone needs to show this to people who think we don't need the 2nd Amendment here in the US.
We also have lots of guns here in Guatemala. Check our violence and our corruption rates and you'll see how is that working for us.
Diego of course you people get nothing right. So don’t blame our freedom on your misfortune.
Björn Björk point is.. they shoulda had the 2nd amendment decades ago to prevent this.
@@BubbaGoon08 Yea the criminals and cops have them - no one else.
That's funny because it's US guns that are flooding Central America and US drug consumption that is financing the cartels.
This is what happens when the system is abused and misused. Sad.
you mean christianity?
I know!
Like breaking visa laws, marrying Americans and using chain migration to bring their relatives here.
Paddle Duck but those people have to wait like a decade or two to come to the us. This people just want to jump over the border and ask for asylum even though they can ask for asylum in mexico. This people just want to cherry pick the country they want to live in.
And I was talking about Melania.
Marrying Donald.
And the chain migration of her parents.
@Bella Donna exodus
Guatemala problem is Guatemala problem...
The US can't solve the world's problems. Some of these other countries need to step up and start doing more for people like this.
The US is responsible of those problems.
@@epicadus8722 No we aren't.
Since the '50s the US backed coups, death squads and dictatorship un Latin America. You should learn your History.
@@epicadus8722 I know history and you don't know what you're talking about.
Read this : revista.drclas.harvard.edu/book/united-states-interventions
So I am German and I still don't understand why trump is doing this.
I can't speak for all German people but most of the people I know think that he isn't fit to be a president.
Or maybe I just don't understand the big picture if anyone can explain that to me I would be grateful.
Maybe the New York Times should take them all in.
Violence, poverty, corruption? The US is plagued with them, too, and adding more impoverished people to the mix will absolutely NOT help.
So instead of traveling almost 3,000 miles of gang & cartel dangers through Mexico, they can stay in Guatemala. Which happens to be the Home country of a significant percentage of asylum seekers.
These people need help. Maybe sending the American army to fight. And why not have the death penalty for any gang member put into law.
Because you can t solve any problems with just more guns and death🤔
The war for survival never ends.
Soldiers are not going to die for other people problems. That's what their own nationals are for. Fight your own wars.
Most gang members are between 10 and 20 years old. If someone reaches 25, he’s already a veteran. 9 out of 10 get killed by rival gangs or by cleansing armed groups. More violence is far from being the solution, that will only worsen the situation. The solution is work with the roots of the problem: poverty and massive inequality.
Spoot1RHGL actually it would solve the problem. Actually it has been proven to work in history. But that usally leads to dictatorship a single man taking the power and putting out strong reforms. The thing is these places are extremely corrupt due to these gangs threatening paying off officials. But putting out an iron fist works and will work but obviously the consequences are real
Why don't they seek asylum elsewhere? Why hop several countries' borders to go to the USA? Also, this is a single case, one of among a minority of cases where asylum is legitimate. How many of the asylum seekers are legitimate?
A place to stay, food, warmth. And they don’t have citizenship yet we take care of them with tax dollars. I think they’re doing just fine where they’re at. What they shouldn’t be allowed to do is vote until they’re documented citizens.
Bruh they pay taxes bruh where’d you get that idea. The irs don’t stop for nobody
I have watched this channel to improve my english skills for visiting USA in the future. But I realized that I should learn more vocalbulary or grammar to perfectly interpret and understand these videos...
These are more on political point. But your English grammar is good from what I’m reading!
Bravo!
It is unfortunate to hear about what happened to these people. Nobody would know the full story except what is shown in the documentary, but the fact that they were taken away from homes to another place by force is just unfortunate. I hope the best for these people.
Sad story for sure... However wtf makes it the responsibility of the u.s. to solve ppl's personal issues all around the world. No matter how terrible and potentially dangerous, we can't take care of American citizens. This story has nothing that makes it the responsibility of the u.s. government to solve. Such BS
Shane Ellison yeah it definitely isnt our problem. But all these gangs exsist because of the u US demand and wants. Actually the US is indirectly linked in many ways. When u have the power to help the unfortunate why not help them. Thats the biggest argument.
Unfortunately people take advantage. This is what happens.
Since the '50s with the coup against Jacobo Árbenz ( a Guatemalan president ).
The people need to fight to clean up their own countries and take back control, we can not baby sit the world when our own country is under financial and pandemic ruin
Jacie Kelly “cleaning up” is not easy for these countries. If the people had control over corruption and incompetence in their governments, they would have done something already. It’s like me telling Americans “why is America in so much debt? They should just work more and put better politicians in power to clean up their system?”
coronavirus coming for the gangs
Why can't they just move to another part of the country?
Betty Johnson or to the their neighbors
Because another part of their country doesn't have free food, school, health care, etc. USA does.
Asylum is DISCRETIONARY and to qualify, one must be prove persecution and that the persecution must have been based on at least one of five grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Being a business owner or gang victim doesn't meet that.
One loop hole closed many more to finished.
GOOD🤷♀️WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?🤔
Why don't the governments of those countries just do a cleansing of all gang members using their military?
Attention all Mexicans: When the outbreak becomes a reality for you in Mexico and you decide to sneak into America to seek help since your country won't have enough, seek out Nancy Pelosi. She will give you a hug and a hospital bed in California. Be sure to make her give you that hug though.
Instead of fleeing south of their borders. Flee north of their borders to those wealthy countries instead. One ☝️ country canNOT support and /or support the entire world. The USA 🇺🇸 give those countries Foreign Aid to build up their countries but it’s the fault of those governments that they don’t do it.Those citizens of those countries have to fight for their rights as citizens in those countries.
According to the UN Refugee Law of 1961, she can only apply for asylum in the first safe country that is neighbouring her home country, which is MEXICO! If she wanted to come to the US, which she is welcome to do so, why did she not apply legally? I know lots of people who came from worse areas and made it to the US LEGALLY. Many of them managed to become US citizen as well!
She did apply legally did you not watch the video?
You can’t apply legally in the US. They just outsourced the legal option. This just showed you that. We don’t (trump and supporters) don’t want refugees anymore
@@mshanga89 Anyone can apply at the border. Trump never stopped it and won't stop it because there are people who are in need of help, and Trump is not a monster like the media and the left is claiming. Refugees are welcome. Immigrants are welcome, as long as they come in LEGALLY!
@@MrGustavoavillelaz No she didn't. She crossed and then turned herself in. That is ILLEGAL! She could've gone to the check point and appleid there.
Los Estados Unidos no tiene ninguna responsabilidad de mantener a tanta gente no somos la tetera del mundo no dependan en los EEUU aprendan a componer sus países
Pretty good idea here.
Good!
Best news I've heard in a long time.
Stop telling everyone we will gladly accept ANYONE. LEGAL IS LEGAL.
Sounds like the asylum system Australia setup for asylum seekers.
Tell me more.
By granting them assylum in the US, will it stop the problem? What if another thousand will seek asylum for the same reason? Is it the responsibility of its government to protect its people from gangs? Where is the government there?
Hm maybe they need a 2nd A.
some one need tell her ms13 is in American
They have MS 13 in the states also, they might find her here too. If they are still going out socializing not worrying about CV, I don't think they should be allowed to enter anywhere.
Sorry, that was "shouldn't" be.
lets just jump over mexico to the USA, BLeading Hearts Of the World Unite, Christ
If they actually pretend to make that same type of agreement here in Honduras they might as well just throw them on the desert and let them roam free.
It would honestly be the better option.
So sad
I want to feel for those who aren’t permitted in the USA. However America needs to be selfish. Our own people are struggling in poverty and violence. This policy Trump passes is the only one I agree with.
How about Trump spend the money to help Americans rather than give big tax breaks to the billionaires and blame the refugees anc the illegals he and his family have used as slave labor?
Have you been better since he become president? The only people that profit from his presidency is his family and rich friends.
@@heatherwhittaker6169 "Slave labor" omg you people and your drama
please US immigration law has always been harsh as it should be, stop giving him the credit.
@ Obama's not running, so...
That’s too bad.
I'm done close the border please
What’s worst MS 13 or Corona virus .....
Oh. So it is a s***holes afterall.
They are human beings, not worse, not better than the americans. Remember that.
Should the American president not put the American country first? Or should Putin and President Xi be also accepting asylum seekers?
@@chaosXP3RT if you can help someone that you know that will die without your help, should you help? Is there an easy answer for you? Sure there isn`t for me.
theyre not better or worse. I agree. They should stay in their country that they made, which is neither better nor worse
@@gaiac1979 really? They made their country that way and US has nothing to do with it? What about you learn some history? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954_Guatemalan_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat
i might be better than uhum everybody
El pais tiene que exterminar la MS13
I find it Funny how Trump lovers walking around acting like he dose with that "I understand this, nobody understand this better then I do" they don't know anything!
it means stay in YOUR own country and fix it
I am agree with you, but, please can you stay in YOUR country and STOP invading and disrupt others countries.
sure do, digging a hole whistling
Trump is a man of his word. Keep up the good work. I say give these refugees back there guns. There right to protect themselves is what they need. Give them back there power!
Trish Se Are you serious?... yeah let’s not let them in the USA just give to another country with guns??? It’s sending them to death.. this is sad really sad what a cold hearted person. Who’s does that? Of course trump does he’s nothing but cold hearted person.
@@josephlopez5404 Yes I am pro second amendment! Part of the reason we are free hear in the U.S. is because people are allowed to own guns and defend themselves. Cold hearted is you. You want us to bring all the gangs here and put my family at risk so you can say your a good person. But a good person would help clean up there county so all there people can live in peace. Not just the people who escape. Think of all the children left behind. You don't give a crap about them. The chowards who run have a save them self mentality. So I will as well.
Without a doubt, this is a state of affairs that most Americans must be ashamed of and horrified by - a mother and daughter fleeing for their lives being pushed right back into the range of the gangsters who want to murder them.
美国政府太不负责了，疫苗还没在动物身上试验就拿人身上试验了？ i against
哈 麻辣哈 what are you saying?
wich email mr brent to wright to you
Very good video. Thank you for showing what many fail to see. Very, very few of us can say our cultural roots don't come from outside the U.S.
This is outrageous.
Take care of ALL Americans first. Only after that should we think about helping others!
😢
The
While i feel sympathy for this woman, her case does not fit the characteristics of an asylum seeker as this video would suggest.
Go to Belize or Brazil
The Trump administration are heartless she should qualify for asylum
Import third world, become third world
Wow! Sockpuppets, bots, shills, and trolls approve of DUHnocchio's inhumane policies.
I hate trump. Hopefully he won’t be reelected..
SO THE MARA IS LOOKING FOR HER...AND WANTS TO SLEEP ON THE PARK???LOL
if you don't have the money, you'll be sleeping in a park too
Lol
