Life in the Deportee Slums of Mexico
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2013
- About 40 percent of Mexican immigrants deported from the US are sent back through Tijuana. Many of the deported border crossers have established a makeshift shantytown inside a dry, concrete riverbed where the Tijuana River once flowed-called El Bordo.

my father always told me when a man cries,don't judge him or belittle him,you don't know what battles he is fighting,respect his feelings and let him cry in peace
CptDroga, I like your Dad! He taught you a great lesson.
CptDroga your father sounds like a good man
Farzaan Ali a woman can cry just because her hormones/prolactin told her to! LOL!
Corinne Germanotta Nope! Most women cry for no reason! LOL
Mentu Hotep You're an idiot. I feel sorry for you that you have to go through life being so dumb. It must be hard.
Why is everyone getting mad at the US for deportations but no one is mad at Mexico for not helping its citizens
Because its easier to be a victim then it is to do the right thing
I am mad at everyone in a way. Meaning both Mexico and US. A lot of what has happened stems further back than just 30 years. I think why everyone is mad is that all people can think of is this now and it’s people as trying to take advantage as one thing when it’s not in fact true. I guess the lack of humanity is what is angering. I’m not picking sides, just wanted to point that out
Because central banks control almost the entire country and the US is put as a super power and if they see any country rising into power they feel threatened. All politics run with each other they don’t care about their people lol wars are for profit, veterans come back from war and the government can’t even take care of them in America. Open your eyes man. The US government supplies the drug cartels where else do they get all these guns from. Cartels feed the Mexicans government money and the US profits from it. Something not many people will understand
Mexicans are still salty about getting smacked in the Mexican - American war
@@a1no1x are you still salty about the Vietnam war😂
The saddest part about the entire boarder issue is there's SO many good people who just want to work and provide for their families like Avimael. They can and want to be contributing citizens and live a normal working class life. I feel for him as I work with many Mexican men who sacrificed everything to be in the USA working, away from their families, and sending money back home to ensure they're taken care of. Any man that makes THAT sacrifice is beyond respectable and deserves the chance to do so.
I agree
I often consider the horrible situations of places in Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, MX, and the mudshit in in Europe, Africa, Chicago, LA Philly Miami Boca MArthas Vineyard and such... and i really wonder if I would stay and fight to make it better at home or run away to try to make a life where i dont belong like LIBERIA where they wouldnt allow me to legally own a house or get a job in Holland where i couldnt legally work or rent a place to live for more than 90 days or whatever. It is nice to think people are trying to keep their omes nice by keeping people like me from just moving there and changing the demographic and taking up what little space they have for their own// There are 100 angles to consider before just crying equality and opening up someine elsesback yard to roaving campers like me...
@@bumpsangrimez nobody is crying “equality”, it’s human nature. People move, we migrate. How do you think people go to America in the first place? They migrated across the Bering strait.
Everyone can't come....simple as that.
@Vogel Vogeltje shut tf up I'm a native American of the northern Americans and I've worked with mexians and now mexians who have abused the us and its great laws making so kuch money under the table while we pay taxes look at the border now
I remember when my mom was deported after living in the US for over 30 years. She hadn’t been back in Mexico since she was a little girl. She had nowhere to go, and it crushed us. I can’t imagine the anguish it causes someone to be homeless in a city they’re not familiar with.
That scares me just thinking about that.
Shouldve came here legally 🤷♂️
What? You left your mums homeless in Mexico after she was deported? Are you a dog or something?
@@Pack_WatchFuck off dude, have compassion for people who are leaving their homes in fear of persecution of local gangs or crime occurring.
Hey can I ask if she had all, or at least just one of her proper documentations before she was sent back to Mexico.
"I don't want to return as a defeated person" damn that motivated my ass
Daniel Lopez 💯
True man .

Imagine waiting 20 years for a yes or a no from the US hell no even if I had to break laws and anger a white racist mob I’ll keep going “Never let a racist mans words hurt you, let them fill you with motivation and power”
To do what your still probably doing the same thing as your were when you posted this
Actually they dont return to their towns cus they become addicts and they are ashamed of themselves, their families believe they are still in USA ...at least they have respect for their families and font want to be a burden to them....whichever it is the reason its a very sad human tragedy
Loved the sense of humor of the guy with the doorbell.

Me too Justin Lee Russell
The sadness on this man's face and desperation in his eyes truly breaks my heart
I have mad respect for the mexican people and it breaks my heart to see them suffering. I've met hundreds of mexicans throughout my life and absolutely ALL of them were nice, caring, happy, respectful and extremely hard working. Bad people exist everywhere and the US has plenty of white crazy americans of their own so dont generalize mexicans as bad people.
I love my latinos ❤
It is so grateful to read such a beautiful well-hearted comment. Thank you.
Muy de acuerdo en todo el mundo existe 10,20,40,60,70 % de gentes buenas y malas

Since they're so "hardworking" why don't they fix their own Country?😂
@@costilla1212 They are fixing the country. Mexico is a young country and is still developing socially and economically. Fixing things don’t happen overnight.
10:15 I just broke down when he started crying and explaining how he had a house before and lost it all. You have to be a really cold person to not feel that sadness and that empathy for someone like him
Igualmente estaba llorando 😢 ❤️
what i dont get is if his wife and kids are in guerro mexico, why is he living in slums of Tijuana
I agree it was sad buuuuuuuuuuuut........... he did break the law crossing illegally. Sorry for the mood kill.
He obtained those things without the right to do so. He considered himself more important than the ones who do follow the law and jump through rings of fire to get legal residency. The border exists, migration law exists.
I am cold
The guy that broke his back & got ran over but still has the strength to sweep up shops... mmmaannn
Then he gets generalized as a RAPIST and MUDERER and GANG MEMBER.....it must be so frustrating.
it was so sad
@@Mine-Finder Grow up; you're mad for no reason. Stop projecting.
He’s probably the only exception the other ones could get out if they actually tried but I’m sure they get depressed and it holds them back
@@Scorch428 HE WASN'T GENERALIZED BUT IF HES NOT LEGAL HES TRASH. STUFF HIM IN A WOODEN BOX AND SHIP HIM BACK
7:03 "no quiero regresar como una persona derrotada" que frase!!
:(
But he has a whole family he needs to be with so ego doesn’t matter!
También es sensato aceptar que no todo se puede, 😊
6:16 his actual quote was so much more powerful than what the translators used, I know they didn’t use it for fear of losing something in translation but what he said was close to: “I’ll keep giving them war until my horse is tired of kicking”
Dang man, when that guy said he doesnt want to return back to where hes from, because he doesnt want to return as a defeated person. I felt that. He doesnt want to show his face until he makes it, i hope he made it. Anyone who has ever risked it all on a dream can relate to this man.
I wonder how he’s doing now
mexicans are way too prideful and that's a double edge sword
@@melvin9989 Probably dead, this people dont last long, everyone whants to kill them
@@carlospulido964 why?
Its not a dream, its a chance to make a better life, and recharge your country with money.
That's why Donald Trump its a piece of garbage.
not gona lie..when he started talking at 9:20 i fkn cryed and started thinking about my kids..god bless you sir and the lady that helps
Victor Duran no worries ima soon help my mexican brothers.
Victor Duran why, i moved here from a different country. I am here legal have been a citizen since 1983. Why are they better then me if they don't need papers?
susan osborne They are not better, they are regular people like you and me; all they want is to be able to work and provide for their families. Not everyone has a chance to become legal, but everyone does have a choice to improve their lives. Some chose to come to USA illegally because the other choice is to live in proverty for the rest of their lives. Coming to the USA illegally is extremely dangerous, some people don't make it and die on the way. Don't judge them or think you are better than anyone else just because you had the opportunities they didn't.
Everyone has a chance to become legal, and unless you can prove to me otherwise I think it's full of shit. Coming to the USA can be as safe and you make it should you have a brain. Apparently most illegals don't, minus the ones that are here illegally cause of their parents that legally migrated.
James R I actually work for a private immigration office, so I know it can be extremely difficult; especially for Mexicans. First of all, you need a immediate relative (spouse, parent, sibling, child) to apply for you, if you happen to be over the age of 21, in most cases, the wait time to legally come to the USA is 20 Years (Look up Visa Bulletin on State dot gov website). Now, if your relative dies during that wait time, then you are practically left with nothing. There are no diversity visas available for Mexico, and some people are lucky to get a visitor visa, but they are not allowed to work. And some people do not even have a relative that can apply for them.
i went to mexico and was coming back and it was so heartbreaking, there was someone who had a daughter with a broken leg and she was only 3 and couldn’t afford medical bills, there was a lady with a newborn and couldn’t afford formula. Very very sad
irresponsible to have a child; knowing you can't support it.
@@stephanreichelt2700 comment was over a year old...
@Mere-Lachaiselongue still a valid point
@@stephanreichelt2700 What a horrible brain dead comment you made.
@@stephanreichelt2700 I agree with your point, but its hard to stop people's desire. Its like after I find a place to eat and sleep, that always happens. Sterilizing people for their own good sounds so archaic, but I keep thinking of only the benefits. If making babies is driving this situation, then babies have to go....
i remember when my dad got deported after 15+ years of living in the us. he hadn't been in mexico ever since he was a teenager. he looked for people to help him out cross or find a way back to the us. he almost gave up and went back to his town which was in san luis and he was in coahuila. but he did make it back. he found other of his jail inmates that he had gotten deported with and got on a train and got back into the us safely. but it still breaks my heart eachtime he tells me his story.
I'm glad he made back safe. I can't imagine what he went through trying to make it back.
See, nothing good comes from invading a country illegally. Exhausting resources the natives paid for in taxes. It's not good for anybody.
something similar to me happened back in 2020, same rhythm and beat. It's incredibly scary, sadly mine hasnt been able to come back but thankfully we had family who lived nearby to help
I barely realized that the activist (Micaela Saucedo) died in 2013. Rest in Peace for all of your good actions
The actual reason of her death is pretty much obvious and intentional
@@luka9967 why? was she murdered or something?
@@jltaco85 Probably yes
But they don't want you to know that
@@luka9967 listen to yourself, that doesn't make any sense at all.
Really how
I remember when my mom told us of her dad being deported. She said every time he came home after being deported he looked more and more defeated. He was ashamed of failing to try to find a better life for his family. It’s a hard life. It’s easy to pass judgement on these people but not to walk in their shoes. It’s hard to live in a country that turns its back on its people.
Pues así cuando van a preocuparse por hacer algo de provecho les dan drogas comida nomás falta que se los lleven para su casa y ahí de bonitos
A very wise comment. Everybody struggles. But few really know real pain..
Glad he was deported. Deport all illegals.

You know it makes me sad knowing my dad came here to the US and never had the opportunity to go back to see his family. I joined the Army because I always wanted to but also to help my parents. I was able to get him a parole in place but sadly he passed away a year ago. 😞

Veronica Moody don’t be sad, he had a family so he’s most likely here, woman are allowed in if they have kids, so when his wife came which has %100 happened already they have saved up, paid for him to come and took him in. he’s probably workin in his big body shop as we speak!

You watch too much telenovelas
I remember me and my family drove from Canada through the US and ended our trip in Tijuana. Spent the day there back in 1992 or 93, was really cool. I was 7 so as a kid it was the best road trip of my life.
This is what they go through everyday and then there’s us getting mad that the wifi is going slow
Chill Cruz well that’s life
It’s what life shifted to, yes
Chill Cruz my parents is also a immigrant so I know the struggle
PewPew it sucks watching them work all day and have little time to rest before they leave again. I never had to the chance to sit and get to know my own mom
Our problems ain’t nothing compared to what they go through 😓

Watching this again 5 years later, tears are streaming down my face again. How sad to see human beings suffering in pursuit of a better life. I wish things were different and I wish it was easier for all to get citizenship in this country. No hard working decent person that contributes to society should have to suffer like this. I’ve met very few hispanic people who don’t work extremely hard for the things they have.
@Blacksun Sigrune88 shut up already
@Blacksun Sigrune88 its not so easy when their government is set up the way it is. They have already asserted their dominance and insighted fear into the people. How do you expect them to get enough firepower to protect against the multitudes of cartels that control nearly all of mexico?
And people that come to America illegally and work under the table and collect food stamps use out health care pay no bill drive cars with no insurance send their cash out of the country should be beaten like the dogs they are.
*Yeah right, hard working heroin addicts*
Have to follow the law of any nation. You cant just come in for free. Thats any country. Dont think its just the US. Its any country where you need Identification.
It's so heartbreaking. I hope they'll find help.
This video hit me very hard when the guy in the thumb nail actually started talking about his family and his old house and then when he said eat like regular people I lost it it was very sad

So sad to hear that he had a humble but very happy home in the US. Very profound words, saying that in US they did truly enjoy happiness. I hope this gentleman is reunited with his family in Guerrero. Seems his wife and children are established there. God bless.
It is sad to see how much racism and ignorance is spread here in the comments. This is fucking insane. I can't believe parents actually raised them like this...sad. Just sad.
Meh. Don't let it get to you. Rise above it by not reading the comments or lowering yourself to their level and let them be ignorant and racist.

6:15 what he said had so much more feeling than what they translated, his exact words were “Until my horse is beat I won’t stop giving them hell”... being a child of two immigrants and watching my dad wake up before sunrise every day and come home after sunset after busting his back gardening all day, watching my mother spend 4 days out of the week cleaning other people’s homes... to give me and my older siblings a better life... this video really got to me bro... my parents continue to bust their backs everyday and it’s thanks to that my older brother graduated from Cal Poly Pomona and is now an engineer with SoCal gas and my older sister graduated from CSUN and now works for city hall... and they did that while also being illegal immigrants...
Very good for your family and I hope all the children and grandchildren appreciate the sacrifices.
good luck to u
Eu sou Brasileiro, moro na periferia de São Paulo, somos um Pais em desenvolvimento onde ha muitos problemas, sociais politicos e culturais mas me parece que no Mexico isso e levado ao cubo exponencialmente elevado a decima potencia, onde ha decadas os governos sofrem com a imigração descontrolada de seus habitantes... Penso que a que custo de tantas vidas compensa a ilusão de mudar do seu Pais, se afastar de seus parentes, amigos familiares para viver uma aventura que facilmente pode se tornar uma tragedia? Eu sou pobre, más tenho dignidade, trabalho, estudo, tenho familia e vivo bem sem grandes problemas, vivo no sistema capitalista mas procuro nao ser consumista em excesso alem do necessario para nao perder a minha essencia humana e etica... Vejo alguns relatos de Brasileiros que foram estudar, trabalhar e viver nos EUA e percebo que o sonho Americano pode facilmente se transformar em um pesadelo de fato...A cobiça pelo poder que leva estados a invadirem outros anexar territorios promover guerras e explorar o seu semelhante acumulando riqueza se degenera e apodrece quando uma unica vida e perdida nesse processo... Eu particularmente como Cidadão residente no sul do continente nunca senti vontade ou necessidade de migrar para outro pais, seja qualquer um, porem antes de ser Brasileiro, sou Americano, Latino,Humano e compreendo as diferentes realidades sociais economicas e culturais dos povos... As fronteiras e o estado nação foi uma criação do poder do capital que separou as pessoas, legitimando a posse da terra e a riqueza e os bens conquistados pelos mais fortes violentos e beligerantes. Toda propriedade é roubo embora se compartilhada pudesse ter um aspecto mais igualitario social e humanitarios, porem a ganancia pelo poder segrega mais no capitalismo doque a vontade de ter possuir e acumular para depois dividir... A America do norte incluindo Mexico Estados Unidos e Canada, deveria ser uma terra sem fronteiras pois foi constituida por imigrantes Europeus Asiaticos e Africanos que invadira saquearam e tomaram a força dos povos e naçãoes indo americanas,que mais tarde se dividiram em estados nações e que neste caso especifico o Mexico foi o mais prejudicado tendo metade do seu territorio original anexado, roubado invadido e tomado a força pelo poder militar Yankee,,, se justiça fosse feita haveria de ter livre acesso a todo cidadao Mexicano alem de uma reparação historia de ajuda financeira tecnologica e educacional ao povo do Mexico,,, Mas quem foi que disse que os Estados Unidos presam por Justiça Honestidade e Verdade???

Yeah I pray for him. I pray he goes through the process of becoming a legal citizen so he doesn't have to be crying on camera for sympathy. And saying " I'm gonna save money to come back, but they charge 3,500-5,000" DUDE! get a damned green card like a respectable person would and be with your family.

When he cried it broke my heart and I feel so bad for him for all of them
It's a terrible situation, no doubt about that but... why do they always abandon their family? Like... you haven't seen your children in years YEARS, why? They're basically wasting their time for something that will never happen. I'm Mexican and I know for a fact that if you try hard enough you will be able to find a decent job and have enough money to get by. In my opinion that's a better way of living than being homeless and away from your family.

Holy fuck. You see this man, someone who seems kind of happy, kind of laid back as he's talking about the makeshift tunnel he seems proud of, but the moment he starts talking about his past... Man, you could really see him reminiscing his old life. You can see the pain and all of what used to be his, paid for fairly with his own hard work, taken from him and moved here.
Every day I think why I hate this world and I'm reminded every fucking day why.
yup, feel bad for him. poor guy. his whole life was pretty much turned upside down
its really not bloody hard to get here legally but now he cant since he goofed the first time
CapmOfTheSea It is hard. Lmao.... Well, like ebenizir said, just takes a long fucking time.
Ghost1170 yeah but its a fuck ton of alot better than having to live under the radar and being afraid of never being aloud back
CapmOfTheSea Of course, mate! But the thing is, this guy was an actual part of society. He had a family, a job, and was contributing to society as a whole compared to many who are born here and do absolutely nothing with what they're given. Since he didn't have a green card, they separated him and his family and left him with absolutely nothing because even his own country doesn't really want him back.
I mean fuck dude, our fucking working force contains a shit ton of illegal immigrants, just look at all the people picking our fucking fruits. That's not even a joke, lmao. They literally hire people from other countries for little to nothing and they happily accept because it's an opportunity to help families back at home, and gives them a small glimmer of hope they can move to America. Too bad America has a history of being the biggest fucking twat ever.
Not that everything we do is asshole'ish, just a lot of what we do is.
My parents are Mexican immigrants and they worked there asses off to provide me a better life than what they had. For the people who are saying "why don't they just take the citizenship test" It's a really long process for an immigrant to become an American citizen. Both of my parents came here when they were in their 20s and finally became citizens in their 40s. It's a hard process to go through. The amount of ignorance in this comment section pisses me off so much to.
+Fernando Herrera work hard, do it legal or stay the fuck out. Its so simple. Your parents worked hard now why should some fence jumper get to cut in front of them and overload our social service(welfare) system.
PROUD INFADEL My parents were one of those "jumpers". Also, there's not a care package waiting for them on the other side of the border. They start from the bottom and work their way up. They especially work hard if they have kids. They don't overload social service or welfare because that's not true at all. They could get social service benefits once they are legal residents or citizens.
+Fernando Herrera While it is true that non-citizens cannot get public benefits themselves, they can get public benefits for their US-born children such as food stamps, WIC, Medicaid, and in some cases even low-income housing.
Fernando Herrera
illegal aliens have cost our country almost a TRILLION dollars. They ARE overloading our system and CAN receive benefits as the previous poster pointed out.
+PROUD INFADEL The kids that are American citizens can receive benefits.

I am a American citizen. My husband was born in the USA side,1954 border of Mexico. His mother Mexican was dating a married American man so she kept everything quiet, even his birth. so when my husband couldn't prove where he was born to get a passport, he was deported year 2000, we got married in the USA and in Mexico and now married together more than 23 years together. We left our whole life behind in the USA. We made it here in Mexico until We got older, it is hard to find work when you are older then 50, if you do find work you are lucky and Blessed, the pay is really bad but work is better than no work. Now we find ourselves without a lot of things, washer, stove, car, just barely eating.we want to go back to the states. No Mexican government help here. There is more opportunity in the USA then Mexico
@@gayvirgo Most of the United States. Spoiled hypocrites who believe they are better because they were born there.
Damn it, We need to do better with Human compassion and cooperation. This was very hard to watch here in my air conditioned job.
I myself fell to drugs and am now trying to get my son back and out of the motel I'm staying in. I've been clean now 2 years and still trying to fix what I destroyed.
I feel lucky, I feel guilty, I want to help, I sit here and cry. No one should have to be out like that anywhere. Not with all the resources and with all the food that goes bad and is thrown in the trash daily.
Whole neighborhoods of empty houses falling in... Whole generations dependent on drugs for happiness. When will Humanity learn to work together and share. How many thousands of years have we been on this planet? We are still failing each other.
Prayers of Strength, Hope, Tenacity and Love. ❤️
There was something so familiar about El Gallo, I realized thats how me and my coworkers act and talk, then it hit me like a break. He too is from Puebla, it’s a big deal for me because thats a place in Mexico I rarely hear people are from.
I see a huge difference in comments from 2013 to now
How so?
In 2013, people would feel sorry for these guys but now people don't want them here illegally. I'm not taking sides, I'm just typing what I'm seeing.
Oh I see, I completely agree with you! Great observation.
because all the racists came out of there caves because of Trump, but they claim they arent racist
David Mack not if they have to pay for it
I hope the guy that was crying reunites with family and comes up with a plan gid bless him 🙏
he most likely is because it takes a lot of money to own a big body shop so most likely he’s already here living his dream, and if he’s still fighting to come over god will bless him definitely, with the others in this video🙏🏽
ariel47k he was reunited with his family, and my family back in Guerrero, i know this cuz hes my uncle who we thought was dead for so many years but when we saw an article on him on the news around 6 years ago my mom and my aunt instantly reached out and sent him money to get back with our family down in mexico
Uhm What oh shit well god bless you and your family🙏🏽 i’m happy he came out to a good ending
Uhm What this is so awesome man ngl I teard up because I thought about my dad and kinda looks like my dad

These old vice documentaries are masterpieces.
I feel bad for all of these fathers who actually care about their families, but can’t see them.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you have to acknowledge that everyone is a human being.
Greg Ramirez False!
Kali Kross lol
That's the biggest fucking straw-man anyone's ever constructed. Since when did saying the truth, that these people who come across the border illegally are illegal immigrants, come with the implication they aren't human?
Greg Ramirez yes but America has a lot of unemployed people too so they have to take care of their own citizens first and sort everything out when one day America is doing better economically than they can try to help out other countries and let the people come
It still doesn't make it right to break the law and cross borders without allowance or documentation.
I live in Tijuana I pass this little canal almost everyday. That place is empty as fuck now, pretty sad.
It's empty?! Do you know?
what happened to the people?
+Nereyda Guerrero well like the documentary said, the police come to arrest the homeless and to burn their little house.

Janade Pina Garcia Well then do go to Mexico stupid ... and if u ain't helping no one why do you even go to that country ?
It's absolutely mind-boggling how people can watch this heartbreaking video and still have something negative to say about their situations. Before another ignorant (and very sheltered) person says "well, they shouldn't have illegally crossed" think about the grave circumstances they are put in to have to leave their own country. They are poor, they are starving, they are in danger, they have families, and/or they want to better their lives. Instead of pointing fingers and being assholes, see how you can help. Remember that it only takes a few bad things to happen for ANYONE to fall to their knees.
Sheynna Weber not to mention had the US not spent decades intervening, propagandizing, colonizing, militarizing, staging coups, and spreading the drug trade + war on drugs in Latin America, most of these countries would be far better off and their people wouldn’t HAVE to leave. You reap what you sew, and these destitute people are absolutely America’s responsibility now. If the US gov didn’t want to receive refugees they shouldn’t have created refugees around the world through their imperialism, but they won’t educate the people on any of that in schools
Wow, genuine empathy in the UA-cam comments. This is very refreshing 🙂
Looks like you have a great hearth and also common sense to understand what most people perceive as reality, is really not!
Don Harris wow I thought I had read some truly stupid comments in my lifetime, but this one wins
Don Harris as a matter of fact, half of my family DID move here from Central America and we’re doing just fine. By 2044 the majority of the US will be people of color. And it’s gonna be awesome to see sick people like you be outnumbered. Peace

The Real ima give u hope, he had a family here but since they were all deported they went back, if you have a child you are allowed back in, so what most likely happened is his wife and children went over and demanded to have him come and paid for his trip, so he’s most likely here living his dream AS WE SPEAK!
Same
A family friend was illegal, and would live, scared to be deported, he wouldn't buy a phone, internet, more than one car, and send that money to a family member, then a bank account in Mexico, just in case. He died before he could go back, at least his family could use that money...

It’s been 10 years since vice uploaded this video. I wonder how all these guys are doing currently in the year of 2024.
It breaks my heart to see human beings living like that :(
Send them some money then.
I see poverty but also conformism and people who do not care how to live, they must have dignity
I live in Kansas city mo USA there's people here living under bridges in abandon houses full of rats these people have obvious mental issues but surely there has to be a place for them to get help
some of the had a home to come back, yet they decided to stay and live that way.
Go visit Africa
This is horrible. I had a buddy who lived on the Arizona border who would help these people by letting them cross through his yard and he would provide them food and shelter.
My friend has a grandpa who leaves out food and supplies for the illegals so they don’t have to steal from others
Then they should be arrested
These people actually want to work, it's the worthless 'Boyz in the hood' who avoid work at all costs that want deported
Oh wow how noble of him, letting in people that increases the taxes, cost of living, and drives down wages. What an idiot
Your buddy should be arrested

En los suburbios de México? Están pendejos? Un barrio en Tijuana de inmigrantes deportados no es "La Vida en los Suburbios de México".
Pinche vieja privilejeada.. Estas pendeja?... Puro Los Angeles.
Pancho Villa Nada de lo que escribiste tiene sentido, pocho ardido.
I agree, life in a suburb won't compare with that of a poor neighborhood especially one that has deportees coming in with no money or anything, in Mexico. primarily in tijuana. just like any country you'll find good spots and bad ones. just depends on the country.
The term suburb was used in irony...so they refer to it as the suburbs because it's supposed to be away from the city or in this case from society. The title threw me off first, but then it made sense, although in an insensitive manner.
Disculpa al naco que utilizando el nombre de un gran hombre, se burla de aquellos cuales son menos afortunados que el y que a diferencia de Don Pancho Villa publica en anonimato--como el ostentato onanista que es.

@@queeffersthrlnd1620 wat that gotta do wit his comment ?
@@gerardosajidgamezsanchez6962 yes homeless people exist everywhere. As creative handle said, the cost of mental illness economically is probably the single biggest health cost because as a society we tend make comments like "prefer living in the streets or beg for money" instead of doing something to treat the diseases. As a Mexican, I see the indigenous living in poor conditions and get treated like black people are in the usa.
