    🇲🇽 PART THREE: Ask any migrant heading north to the USA which part of the journey they fear most and they will all answer with two words: La Bestia. In English it is translated to The Beast and it deserves the name. Terrible things happen to people on The Beast, from kidnap by the cartel, robbery by immigration officers or just losing a limb below its rolling wheels. And yet myself and ‪@TimmyKarter‬ knew that if we wanted to really experience the Caminante lifestyle then we too would have to face the dangers and confront the very thing migrants fear most...Join us!
    ‪@TimmyKarter‬ RUclips channel is a place to find our journey from his own perspective. I highly recommend you check it out. Thanks again to him for inviting me on this journey and translating whenever I didn't understand something. Would have been ten times harder without him.

    A request: as you know I have never asked anyone to like, subscribe or watch my videos but I have a favour to ask. Unfortunately our good friend and heroic caminante @timmykarter fell very sick after I left Mexico and was hospitalised for an operation. His medical bills were not covered by his insurance and they were astronomical. He is now under sedation. If you want to help out I ask you to go to his channel after this and watch a video or two of his. Leave a supportive message for him to read when he wakes up and drop some likes. It will take you a few minutes only. He’s a great lad as you know from watching the vids he’s appeared in and is going through a really tough time, sick in a foreign country just before Christmas. Sharing some good vibes will help him a little bit. #prayfortimmy

      There are many legal avenues to come to America. There are many needy people from countries who can't run themselves. It is unfair to the American people and to those who have sought a legal route of immigration. If they're sneaking in there is a good chance they have already been deported for crimes. Trump was not wrong when he called them out. Many of them are mules or gang members. The American people are not responsible fro their plight but must absorb the brunt of it. Texas ranchers are killed/ gangs flourish in sanctuary cities and spies from every American adversary flow in by the thousands on a weekly basis. There are up to 10000 illegals that come into America on a daily basis, many of whom displace America's own downtrodden in sanctuary cities homeless shelters. Veterans are dying of hypothermia on the streets of New York.

The American government is strangling Venezuela with oil sanctions, reducing it to poverty, because it doesn't like its leftist government that tries to share profit with the people rather than American corporations that want to exploit that wealth. So it's only right and fitting that the immigrants try to illegally enter the country that has caused their own country to be destroyed. Americans need to take responsibility for the pure evil of their government's foreign policy. They don't get to have their cake and eat it, too.
