Love You Dude❤😍❤
Super cool content man.
You delete my comment about the use of the word migrant?
Title 42 only discourages illegal immigration because it allows our immigration system to bypass/deny the asylum process to immigrants who make the request.
@@the1truth420 Of course not. YT does its own thing here.
This sheriff knows more about the border issue than all of Congress combined. What an old school honest guy
still missing some information like higher resolution or homelessness in the usa 🇺🇸 that were born in the 🇺🇸 aka take care of your community before welcoming foreign nationals in
i don't agree with making immigration easier but sabotaging boarder control isn't the answer either
as for the river argument use 🇺🇸 pass to go past the fence and or check point to go to Mexico 🇲🇽 side
Do you live on or around the border though?
@@richardprice5978 Immigration shouldn't be made easier, i agree. However there are many many jobs i.e construction and landscaping which many Americans do not want that many of these immigrants are attracted to. In a way they are filling up vacancies doing the country a favor. I consider myself an independent/conservative democrat.
@@carsonradford2760 No I do not.
@@colinpowell6221 Well, most of the congress thinks they know everything about the border. I am about 45 minutes from the most southern border of US/Mexico and i’ve seen it all in my 20 years of life down here. Most of the immigrants coming in are the hardest working people you’ll ever meet. As right leaning, i still think the wall was a horrible idea.
"A Sheriff in Texas answers to no one but the people." Music to my ears!
They are elected.
Amen, they're elected! We recently booted out our sheriff and love our new one. Our previous sheriff stopped arresting (thus, prosecuting) a few good ole boys, and he wrote his own ticket for dismissal. Our new sheriff was a policeman in our county seat, and he didn't much care for our previous sheriff, either. Like, by a long shot! 😂 ⚖️ ❤
@kenny9021043 It doesn't mean you can commit crimes.
@@Christine-777 Really sounds awfull, like the prejudices of Texas beeing a lawless county of religitards or something was indeed true.
It is BS. Don't let the Sheriffs lie to you. Do you really think corruption touches every other institution EXCEPT the Sheriff's Office. Please stop.
"a sheriff in Texas answers to no one but the people"
Gosh I love Texas
@ adamkain9941
All county sheriffs are elected
by the people of that county.
There are several counties
in each US state.
The sheriff's subordinates, who
are called Deputies, are state
civil service employees***
hired by the Sheriff's Dept.
Sheriff departments are a
suburban/rural thing.
Municipalities have police
forces, even if a municipality
encompasses the entire
county.
For example, the 5 boroughs
of NYC are actually 5 counties,
but all of them are under the
NYC Police and Fire departments
and a single mayor, city council
and judicial system.
*** All civil servants are tied into
the state's pension system.
I know this but most elections aren't real
And a quiet man by all means.
@@here_we_go_again2571 True, but I think what he meant was even though all sheriffs are elected, Texas sheriffs specifically aren't in any politicians pocket, so he adheres to the will of the people, not the will of politicians or bureaucrats.
Every county in America needs a Sheriff as good as this guy.
Every county needs a sheriff as good as this guy who actually has law enforcement authority in their county. Most counties in the US have a sheriff's department but functionally all they do is run the county jail and shuttle prisoners around. All the real law enforcement is done by municipal cops lead by unelected, politically appointed police chiefs.

I just watched the documentary with Peter and the Sheriff from Arizona. It’s a must see. He also is an amazing Sheriff!
No doubt we in Texas don't Need weed to be legalized
Ours has threatened police re red flag laws.
Claimed he not only will order his deputies to refuse to support unconstitutional laws, but he says he will order them to defend the people from civil rights abuses as necessary.
We need more sheriffs like this in our country. Informed, opened minded, caring, but still disciplined in the job.
Faxs yu can tell he cares for my people but he has a job to do n I feel he still respect the imgrants ..
i'm worried about his career. as much as "WE" need sheriffs like him, the people he works for don't like what he is doing... is he still the sheriff?
@@contrac4u They must like him, because the sheriff is an elected official and he is still sheriff as of today...
the only issue with him that I have is what he said multiple times ... "i only answer to the people". Its a thought process that leans towards making his own decisions and subsequently opens a wide range of issues with following the law. Not saying that he doesn't follow the laws... but that general thought process is more a make decisions now, and deal with the legality of it later.
@@Goblin1986p I think what he means by that is when he is looking for how to progress the county / his area that he is charge of, that he is listening to what the people who voted for him are saying they want, because its his job to take care of them and to represent what they voted for
I love this sheriff. He has compassion but at same time rules are rules. We need more individuals like him keeping us safe. Thank you Sir!
Because he's intelligent enough to ignore the media and figure things out for himself.
@@thebabbler8867 Exactly, he's lived there all of his life and knows best.
We need more Men like this !
Man of the law
Love him.. He is right about social media too
You can tell that Sheriff is a fun guy to be around. I hope he lives a very long, safe, and happy life.
No he’s not
@@woakenfound the guy that’s not fun to be around
This sheriff kept politics completely out of it and just addressed the facts coupled with his knowledge and experiences. Very informative.
That was true, until they got to the river segment and starting talking 'culture'.
@@johnbigelson7471Yeah and he was right about everything he said about it being a cultural issue and not a racial one.
In my country we have many people from Somalia, some are from villages where FGM is practiced, now suddenly it’s an issue we have to deal with in a country where it is considered brutal, cruel and completely unnecessary.
But for them it’s just part of their culture.
So now what? We going to force them to leave their old culture? Who’s going to enforce that?
Surely not the liberals, and if the conservatives do it’s all kinds of evil, right?
Now I just used one country and not even the entire country just different tribes from one country.
Too bad that he's heavily underarmed and understaffed
@@RedlineA2Y145 Don't you see it though? Look at the op's comment, then look at yours. I'm not arguing over whether the content is "objectively correct" or not, I'm just pointing out it took a turn for the political.
@@RedlineA2Y145He's wrong, it's also a racial issue.
This is better than many "professional" documentaries I've ever seen. All the praise for this Sheriff!
CARTELS are just as evil as PUTIN's KREMLIN. USA and CANADA should declare cartels terrorist organizations, so that they could be hunted down properly, but cartels are paying off democraps and liberals with their dirty money, and so nothing gets done and people continue to suffer
Sheriff is sketchy ! And is against the wall
@@Vibezz92 only sketch is you bud. Clearly the wall is of no use, People can get in no matter what.
@@Hecsagon85 build the wall keep ‘em out simple! You Dumbocrats
@@Vibezz92 you think hes sketchy because you want to believe hes sketchy, so you subconsciously assume anything he does is sketchy.
As a Brit this is the EXACTLY how I'd imagine a Texas sheriff would look and sound like.
Is that a view a good, bad or mixed feeling? I am just curious.
@@frenchfan3368 oh no I mean it in a nice way, I think American people are awesome...mostly 😅
As a Texan myself I expect nothing less. Cheers!
@@frenchonion4595
Hello French onion and fan, I am a French fry.
Yeah, because it’s west Texas. If you want the stereotypical Texas as portrayed in good old western movies, you gotta go to west Texas.
As a Canadian, I hitchhiked around the US in 96, From Maine, to Florida, to Texas, Up to Washington and back into Western Canada. Texas was a whole new world I fell in love with. If I could tolerate air travel, I'd spend every winter there. Sheriff Dodson reflects the candid, proud, intelligent Texans who I encountered on my journey. Respect!
Did you have to have a passport or did you sneak in? (No judgment) I remember 1974 I went to Canada and we didn't need a passport. Not since 9/11...
@@donnazukadley7300 Sorry for the lengthy reply, but this is actually an interesting part of the story...
I'm 50 now. Growing up, we didn't need a passport to enter the US from Canada. However, you did need ID, but I had lost my wallet the night before, and could not find it after looking for hours. We went anyway, (I travelled with a friend who had hitchhiked before) but we had a friend drop us off in Maine, just over the border. It was pretty chill in those days, and nobody asked for our ID, just the driver. I had arranged for my parents to mail my wallet to a friend in Eugene, Oregon in time for when I approached the border out west to reenter back into Canada, and to Vancouver.
The whole time, I wasn't mischievous, or causing any trouble. We went to see the jazz festival in New Orleans, but only caught the last day. Everybody was kind, a few people kicked down meals. Some people offered small 1-2 hour labor jobs to earn some food. I picked up cigarette butts from a KFC parking lot for a meal. I'll never forget the sweet, working class couple who picked me up in Pensacola and gave me their half-eaten Styrofoam container of take-out.
So many memories, would make a great coming of age movie. :D
Take the train, incorporate it in to your trip & see the middle of the country
@@r-e_mii Oh yeah, the train would be my preferred means of travelling if it was more cost effective.
Nice to know that there is a mature adult in-charge of patrolling this county in Texas. I wish there was more of this.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
This is a special sherif, I wish we had a lot more sheriffs like him
theres a lot just like him in Texas and Arizona however in New Mexico they are corrupt and dangerous that state is almost like a funnel for drugs and human trafficking.
Grady Judd
In my county, activist prosecutors and activist judges attack our sheriff for racial insensitivity. He's not using catch and release which they want, but was trying to discourage crime. They finally got him on a technicality and arrested the sheriff. So many politicians coddle the criminals. If this Texas sheriff was here, he'd probably be arrested too as soon as he could be charged under any technicality.
There is a lot of good folk like him
Indeed. Officers and deputies who care and take pride in what they do.
I really like this sheriff. He makes you instantly feel at ease and you can genuinely tell that he cares about his job and the people. He reminds me of an officer that saw me walking out in a remote area and I didn't even have enough money on me to make it back to the city I was trying to get too (about a hour and a half away by vehicle travel). He literally picked me up, drove me for over a hour to get me back near the city, ON HIS OWN, and then took me inside a store to buy me lunch. I kept thanking him over and over but he wouldn't accept it because he said, "I'm just doing my job". It really made my eyes water up. There are a lot of amazing officers out there.. unfortunately we just usually hear about the awful ones.
Love this !!
@Jay Yoyo good!
@Jay Yoyo well Marijuana impairs you so driving while high is dangerous even more on a school zone where there is children crossing the street so yeah give them 50 years for putting children's lives in danger.
@Jay Yoyo ☠️
How can you say that when he doesn't deter anything that's going on he's just informing which is been out there for decades I mean look at the size of the dude he has not missed a meal there is no way in hell he's gonna chase anybody and he already told you he's not gonna transport him back to the jail how can you say that this guy is anything other than any other guy that's out there this with this for decades and drawing a paycheck to feed her family without doing anything on the border
didnt know how bad it was. makes me want to stand with our local border agents and sheriffs to stop this kind of criminal activity. keep up the great work.
This Sheriff transmits so much honesty and confidence! He is a real good man!
The sheriff is a hands-on honest gentleman. I wish we had more sheriffs like him. Great job, sir.
@Big Dick I've lived In apine, the sheriff is a genuinely good man.
the border is being trampled on ...D & R are doing little about it ..as usual ...Americans left with the bill
@Big Dick I have been across a large amount of the US. I have seen plenty of sheriff's/ sheriff deputies that are awful. I don't live in alpine anymore. This Sheriff in particular is a decently good man tho. Better than many I have encountered and he actually cares about his community.
@Big Dick fairly lucky I'd say. But not Jesus's offspring, have to work for what I want.
@Big Dick ive personally lived by multiple sheriffs and other law enforcement officers and unknoingly just moved right next door to a sheriff and one of my fiends dad is a retired sheriff and they are nothing but nice
He puts the negative stereotype of the Southern sheriff to rest. He’s got a challenging job that requires expertise in law enforcement, culture, politics. He’s doing it with tact, integrity and compassion.
... and that goold old "awe shucks ma'am" racism!
You know Texas isn't part of the South right? It's south, but it's not really the South.
@@mediocreman2 Considering it was a Confederate state, It's the South. It's not Georgia Florida, but it's nonetheless the South.
@@maquettemusic1623No. Texas is NOT the south. You can call it southwestern or something. But it is not southern. Arkansas isn't the south either. 🚫🚫🚫
@@georgiacopperhead4947 Nah don't tell me wat to do :) Texas is Southern.
Love to all our Border Patrol officers, Sheriffs and Law enforcement officers. God Bless you and keep you safe 🙏🇺🇸
What I like about Peter's work is that he shows us a story without trying to become the story itself. Very well produced. Thank you for this and the other one you did in Yuma.
That is what is missing in most media today. Used to be what journalists did.
This Sheriff’s got a good head on his shoulders. He speaks with lots of experience and understands the cultures and history of both sides of the border. He knows his community, takes his job seriously, and is still an affable guy.
I’d like to see someone do a reality show with him regarding the border.
Remember this sheriff was raised there on the boarded. So he understands. I truly like him. Take care Sir and be safe. I like your holster. Have one like it.
🍏🍏Guaranteed the C I A is paying him to not arrest their cartel employees when they’re running “substances” across the border
The C I A created the cartels in the 70s/80s to run the “substance” trade. By all indications, they are still doing this now.
The C I A took a percentage of the profits while the cartel operates in a self sufficient manner and controls basic logistics.
You can thank this sheriff by voting those responsible for this humanitarian crisis out of office this November and again in 2024.
You know it's being allowed purposefully, right? It's called the "Great Replacement" Aka the Kalergi Plan. The couple century long strategy to exterminate Whites through mass migration in Europe and the US.
Imagine he was president
"The Sheriff answers to no one except the people". This guy is AWESOME! He gets it.
That's literally the function of a sheriff though. They are an elected representative, unlike police chiefs, and can only answer to the voters of their jurisdiction.
@@DiplomattINC Daim that can't be healthy, coming form a country were we can trust the police I can understand why the US is bursting at the seemes with problems
@Devinity well, actually your wrong there. Allot of the country doesn’t have CITY police departments and only the sheriffs department. The county sheriff has to take all the calls for a large area! I live in a small town more rural and we don’t have a police department and our fire department is volunteers ! And rural are not rich!
Bruh
@@DiplomattINC bruh
Excellent show,thank you! That sheriff was something! Hollywood!
Ronny Dodson! Lived in Alpine for 8 years. Sheriff Dodson and the people of Alpine are great people. I appreciate this type of journalism. Just a ride with Ronny Dodson and absorbing information from the source. Good stuff.
The love this sherrif has for human beings is wonderful. He shares his experience, but just wants to arrest the predators, those who prey on the weak. What a good man.
You can teach penal code, the family court act and the manual for police.
Caring , compassion and our love for our fellow human beings is within us or it’s not.
That fact that more people watch cable news than this is just criminal.
This sheriff is so informative he deserves a gold medal we do not necessarily get the truth from our politicians because they all need to have their agenda. Nice to hear someone that's right there and involved. Thank you for the wonderful informative video.
What an amazing Genuine lovely Sheriff, a true credit to his community. Actually makes me want to visit the US for the first time.
As an Elected Sheriff in Tennessee I can really appreciate this video. I have a lot of respect for the men and women working on our southern borders. Thanks for sharing.
I know it's a hard time to be a LEO now but I want to say thank you.
Thanks Sheriff for what you do. I always respect law enforcement but you guys truly work for the people.
Flocking Awesome ! From The Heart !
Thank you for your service Guy Buck
yet you love to arrest people for weed lmao dumb laws in TN
I really like this sheriff.. he seems like he’s a very fair man. I hope he continues to keep up the good work.
Hes true grit, just black or white for him. No shadey shades of grey...V
Wish he was my grandpa
I was in Big Bend for several days around 2013. I was stunned at how porous the border was. On one occasion a Mexican on horseback swam his horse over across the river and talked to our group for a bit, then went back. Locals crossed all the time, leaving little handcrafts with a container to put money in if you purchased something. It was surreal.
These videos are amazing.
IGUAL ESTADOS UNIDOS ESTA TRAFICANDO ARMAS DINERO Y DROGAS..AUNQUE TU NO CREAS.. CIGARROS DE MARIHUANA DE LOS ANGELES A TIJUANA
This guy has such a calm charming and knowledgeable demeanor about this he reminds me a lot of my grandpa loving these videos!
This channel is so much better than Vice because it’s unedited and doesn’t try to promote a narrative. He just shows you the facts of whatever place he’s at.
This man needs respect. Now many law enforcement like this anymore.
Yes there is. The media just doesn’t show it.
Sure there is. They’re stories are just never told.
How would you know that?
I love Texans. That sheriff is very nice and very informative. Glad you had a great ride along.
Glad that you got to see behind the veil a little in our great state, everyone who opposes immigration laws needs to take a peak. Thank you to the sheriff and his deputies for being informative and kind to the guest.
honestly this is the most reasonable sheriff ive ever seen. He seems like a genuine great person. in rural Georgia its more of a "southern nobility" popularity contest.

I bear witness that there is no god besides Allah, and i bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, and that Jesus is His servant and messenger.
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran :
19 Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
20 Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
21 Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
22 It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(Translated by Muhammad Asad)
Islam is an arabic word that means Submission or Surrender to God the One and Only, and was the Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people through the 124,000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon, Jesus, and the final messenger Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but with the time, their original teachings and scriptures were corrupted with polytheism or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why God have sended the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) to correct the faith of humanity and cleanse it from corruptions and associating other beings to God the One and Only, because all beings are His creations. He is the Creator of the universe, the Master of the Day of judgement, where our destiny (Hell or Paradise) is decided based on our faith and deeds in this life and above all, Allah's mercy. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays.
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Al-Anbiya (The prophets) :
107 And [thus, O Prophet,] We have sent thee as [an evidence of Our] grace towards all the worlds.
108 Say: “It has but been revealed unto me that your God is the One and Only God: will you, then, surrender yourselves unto Him?”
109 But if they turn away, say: “I have proclaimed this in equity unto all of you alike; but I do not know whether that [judgment] which you are promised [by God] is near or far [in time].
110 “Verily, He knows all that is said openly, just as He [alone] knows all that you would conceal.
111 But [as for me,] I do not know whether, perchance, this [delay in God’s judgment] is but a trial for you, and a [merciful] respite for a while.”
112 Say: “O my Sustainer! Judge Thou in truth!” - and [say]: “Our Sustainer is the Most Gracious, the One whose aid is ever to be sought against all your [attempts at] defining [Him]!”
(Translated by Muhammad Asad)
And Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Al-Baqarah :
256 THERE SHALL BE no coercion in matters of faith. Distinct has now become the right way from [the way of] error: hence, he who rejects the powers of evil and believes in God has indeed taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way: for God is all-hearing, all-knowing.
257 God is near unto those who have faith, taking them out of deep darkness into the light - whereas near unto those who are bent on denying the truth are the powers of evil that take them out of the light into darkness deep: it is they who are destined for the fire, therein to abide.
(Translated by Muhammad Asad)

We're the most sparsely populated remote counties in Texas. It's hard to showboat or stroke your ego without an audience. Plus, instigating or escalting an interaction with a cornered stranger in the middle of the vast desert with no witnesses is like checking if a snake is venomous by kicking it in flip-flops.
Yes indeed. If I lived there, he'd certainly have my vote.😁
Nobility and a good old boy click
and thats why all the people from california moved there, easy to exploit stuff like that.
sign of a great man to be in charge of the police... " The Sherriff answers to no one, except The People" love to hear that from someone in power.. he truly understands where his power is derived from
Agreed. That Sheriff truly understand the role he holds and how to carry himself according. Hats off to him and I hope this inspires others to follow his foot steps
Too bad Joe Biden don't think that way
CARTELS are just as evil as PUTIN's KREMLIN. USA and CANADA should declare cartels terrorist organizations, so that they could be hunted down properly, but cartels are paying off democraps and liberals with their dirty money, and so nothing gets done and people continue to suffer
Its bs, the system exists to keep the system safe.
🍏🍏The C I A created the cartels in the 1970s/80s to run “substances” across the borders. From the looks of it they’re still receiving a percentage of the profits and still run the trade behind the scenes.
The C I A (via Operation Condor and related operations) wreaked havoc on Central and South American nations in order to keep brutal proxy dictators in power.
Hundreds of thousands of people were k*lled over several decades from that, and the region is still suffering from the unrest. Thus, regular people seek employment north of the border. For fucks sake, they’re literally lining up to pick strawberries for
Great video. Some amazing landscapes and the Sheriff seems like a real asset to his community.
Un Sheriff muy humano, se nota que es una excelente persona.
He represents the well qualified, intelligent, and salt of the Earth type of people that should be running this world, but it will never happen!
Those type of people don't wanna be running the world.
Oh, yes it will! It may be on the other side of eternity, but it will happen! ☺️
Man, you've hit the jackpot with the sheriff's you interview.
You're really good at what you do!
Great channel!
Greetings from Norway 👊🏻😎
Absolutely !
Peter I just recently found your videos and I can’t stop watching. Absolutely fantastic videos educating people around the county on the country they live in!
2nd here!
For 30 years I produced documentaries for PBS. One of my films was called Borderands, filmed in 1983, it explored the symbiotic relationship between folks living along the 2,000 miles of borderland. On a human level not much as changed since then. Thankfully, there are still kind-hearted, sensible people like Sheriff Dodson who speak the truth and understand the interdependent relationship between Mexico and the US. Well done!
Did you ever film in Rio grande valley south Texas ?
I love PBS the whole communist idea of blocking comments on every video is a great way to silence people's concerns and opinions the Plebs are worthless anyways.
I saw Sheriff Dodson in another piece, where he was nice enough to bring a few groceries out to an elderly remote miser-guy, named Fred. Fred lived alone by the crossing at La Linda, an interesting location. An "abandoned" airstrip on Fred's place could tell some stories if it could talk.

Texas Sheriffs are true cowboys.
This was a great video. The sheriff should be an inspiration to many law enforcement. You conduct a great interview and ask pertinent questions. Well done and thanks for keeping us informed.
This Sheriff is amazing.
I’m a former journalist and west Texas native. I work in Midland now and handle communication for our S.O. Often times our Sheriff is hesitant to talk to the media but I believe it’s stories like these that show how beneficial it is to be open with your constituents. Well produced. Good work!
Your Sheriff is reasoned. I, a former Midlander, was present when network TV “interviewed” Dr. John Burdine @ Baylor Med in 1980. Then I saw the “cut&paste” broadcast which made it seem that the Professor had said the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he actually said.
lol did you really call yourself a native?
@@hepler228 yes - native defined is a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not. I was born and raised in this region. I am a West Texas native. It’s a common term used here because we have a large population of transients due to the oil and gas industry.
@@rickfremaux6482 It’s definitely understood that you’d feel that way based off your personal experience. I agree that not all reporters are created equally however, newsrooms have changed so much since the 80’s. Regardless, I do think it’s always important to know your local media and who you can trust/ can’t.
Sheriff's do have power! They do serve the people first.
This sherriff is a #1 class act that really knows what going on. There needs to be more like him. Thanks for a great video letting people know what's happening..
If he ran for president, he'd get my vote.
🍏🍏Guaranteed the C I A is paying him to not arrest their cartel employees when they’re running “substances” across the border
The C I A created the cartels in the 70s/80s to run the “substance” trade. By all indications, they are still doing this now.
The C I A took a percentage of the profits while the cartel operates in a self sufficient manner and controls basic logistics.
You know it's being allowed purposefully, right? It's called the "Great Replacement" Aka the Kalergi Plan. The couple century long strategy to exterminate Whites through mass migration in Europe and the US.

I love this sherif! He's so humble. God protect him, and bless him! 🙏🏼
I met Sheriff Dodson several years ago on a motorcycle trip to his part of the world. Truly the nicest most helpful gentleman I have ever met!!
Germany chiming in here. Kudos to you, Sheriff. You alone have managed to restore my faith in American law enforcement! I love how you describe the situation down at the Mexican border and the cultural peculiarities. Plain, simple, unbiased. Just, literally, a humble civil servant doing his job to his best of his ability.
You shouldn’t have any faith in American LEO. These guys get 1/5 the training of a beat cop in Germany. They’re the biggest gang in America
Yes, sadly those are few and far between here in the US. Where I live on the east coast, it’s basically all local police departments, lead by some unelected, appointed bureaucrat police chief, who only answers to the mayor’s office. As a result the police are basically like private security for rich people, and they all seem to think they can abuse their power and violate our rights, pushing regular working class citizens around. Fortunately it seems like many Americans are finally waking up from this “woke”nightmare of minority rule, extreme political correctness, and virtue signaling to the left, while clearly having a very different and very obvious agenda of curtailing our constitutional rights. I agree that seeing someone do his job well, and actually care about the impact he makes on his community gives me hope for the future of my country as well. Danke, alles Gute und Auf Wiedersehen.
@@CivilizedWarrior"Security cops for the rich" is what cops were long before "Wokeness" and what they will remain long after "Wokeness" says "Good Night" as long as the society prioritizes "property" OVER people!
Russian Bashkortostan Tatarstan here also 😊😊
@@CivilizedWarrior You sound more like what your definition of "woke" is here than you do as someone who actually supports police, FYI. You do know that "Woke" doesn't mean anything near what you are using it as in this long paragraph, right? What rights of yours have been taken by the police recently? I often find that those claiming their rights are being taking away more often that not do not have a clear understanding of what rights are afforded to them under the US Constitution. For instance, most of them feel their Free Speech rights automatically translate to whatever social media platform they use. Just an example.
Secondly, it's not "Minority Rule." In fact, the last time a Republican president won the presidency by popular vote was in 2004 when GW Bush ran against Jonn Kerry, nearly 20 years ago. Democrats are also taking state elections away from republicans since 2018. Some would say that "MIGHT" be the Trump effect. Some beg to differ...who knows.
Having said that, I do also believe corruption exists in police departments. I live in Oklahoma, a completely red state, and I think much of the same issues you experience in your state regarding your states police departments, exist here as well.
Very interesting. This Sheriff is so on the ball and a really likeable bloke, what a great example of how to do your job with respect, honour and empathy. I bet nothing gets past him, wise as anything.
Very intelligent man, "street smart" for lack of a better word/phrase

"In Texas, a sheriff answers to no-one, except the people" So true. And the way it should be.

Ahahahaha bloke
This man was born to be a sheriff. You can not easily replace such wisdom and knowledge. God's blessings Sheriff! 🙏
I have watched other news outlets on this issue but didn't feel like I learned anything of substance from those organizations . So far Iv'e watched the Arizona and Texas ridealongs and learned more in those 2 hours than I've learned in the last few years. I'm planning on watching the entire series now because I want to see the differing perspectives of South and West Texas. Like you, I feel my opinions on this topic evolving with each conversation. Thanks for taking the time to cover this with such depth!
over 1.4 million ppl have watched this YT video. Just goes to show you how difficult it is to get honest and transparent reporting on the border and immigration issues. I agree w/ the sheriff, we need a better work visa program for day workers. eliminate the need, curb the desire.
I'm glad you said that! It reminded me of why I began looking at UA-cam for information; it all started with Depp V Heard.😉
@Big Dick ayo look who it is. the facebook guy the sheriff was talking about. xD
America needs to stop consumption of Ilegal drugs 😤 too much product demand in the US is hard for cartels too keep up .... So Sad ppl wake up USA 🇺🇸 needs to invest money in the people bad drug habits ...
@@OkayImLisa ohhhhhh okay
@Big Dick pest what pest like the honest and poor immigrants who want a better life they arnt pest. We need better and cheaper immigrant policy and better work visas for people who want to work and help provide for there families down south I’m up for that. In terms of pest like drug dealers, murders etc yes we can get rid of those pests.
Thank You Sheriff Dodson for honoring your oath of office and working for the men, women and children of your county.
one thing in common with all of your border videos is they all say "this is the worst we've ever seen it" and yet some people still deny that this isnt a huge problem, its mind blowing
Tu país tiene 600 mil personas desparacidas cada año..porque no mencionas eso, son datos del FBI
Beautiful Landscapes, beautiful Sunshine weather. Beautiful Country.
I like the sheriff. That's the way local Texas officials used to be before things got so polarized.
Not the publics fault for the failure of the Uvalde police.
Thr right has gone insane now a days and can't be reasoned with
it's not polarized it's the democratic process lol. sheriffs can say what they want but police chiefs report to the elected officials that tension is critical to a functioning democracy.
@@brianlacroix822great comment, very true
I learned more in this video than I have in the last 3 years of it being thrown at us on different news outlets from different perspectives. THANK YOU!!
it's not the NEWS job to educate people. That is detrimental to their business with Govt.
@@djisraelmix323 not these days
Cartel probably watching this video taking notes
Thats your mistake trying to learn from news....
Agree and folks like Anna Navarro should be down here seeing what is actually going on! Someone needs to protect the young people being used!
Great thank you to the sheriff for this great interview. Lots of great information. Greetings from Chicago.
Pretty bad that the healthcare the cartel offers is better than the healthcare the United States offers as well as where im at , Windsor Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel you have some the best content on UA-cam and let the world know through sharing it, staysafe and continue to be you 💙🍀🇨🇦
Us quality is better but prices are better in mexico
@@ishrendon6435That statement of yours is not entirely correct! Removing the specialty of skin burns where it is best found in Texas, removing that, in Mexico they have very good medical quality, especially in the private sector, which also has the latest in medical technology, and there are not only good doctors in the United States, 🇺🇲
There are also them in 🇲🇽 and much cheaper! An example of medical excellence is "Hospitales Ángeles" in Mexico
This sheriff and his views, morals, professional attitude is exactly what law enforcement needs to be like. I really enjoyed this video
It's what we need PEOPLE to be like. Having a very high expectation on police to be better than everyone is fine, as long as the people are pretty decent. The problem is people are becoming trashier every day. It all starts at home.
@@mediocreman2 it shouldn't matter the state of the people for them to expect this of police, what a dumb take. In that case you admit the law is nearly useless, if everyone is awful then the cops have a reason to be just slightly above awful? Expectations are high of the police because they are meant to inforce the law, which is meant to keep order. No matter how civilians act, it is an officers duty to maintain order and to be an example of justice. But, ufortunately the way policing is set up, any one of these "awful people" can easily become a police officer hence why you have such incompetence these days amongst local forces.
ALOT of respect for this sheriff!💪🏼 Caring, compassionate, yet enforces the law. L.E. like him are few and far between unfortunately.
There are hundreds of thousands of LEO in the US. You can't make a judgment like that about them.
How many examples of upstanding law enforcement officers would you have to see before you stopped thinking they were "few and far between"?
I really disagree with your articulation. You see few and far between, that doesn't mean that's the truth. I'm willing to bet that there are more good ones than bad just based on the fact that there are few ACTUAL reports of the bad ones. The reports we get from mainstream media are biased and unrealistic most of the time.
@@shampoocampus a few hundred
ya no shit, that's because law enforcement in usa cannot be political, except sheriffs. that's how democracy works this isn't philipines under Duterte LOL
Thank you Peter and thank you sheriff Dawson! We the people support you and are very proud of the work you are doing...all of you! Keep up the good work!
I am so happy that he was willing to speak with you. What a wonderful man. Many of them are flooding into California as of now.
If I could leave two thumbs up, I would. This ride along with a Texas Sheriff is not fluff. Its the real thing. This interview is definitely
a scoop, and its content is something every one of us should watch, and think about. This is a national issue, and its not going away.
The border is just something to harass legitimate citizens when they cross it. Illegals have been pouring into this country for 80 years, I don’t know why we pay for a Customs and immigration when they obviously accomplish nothing. I don’t know if you heard the sheriff say it but even when they apprehend you they only give you a citation and ask you to come back to court LOL! Nobody’s coming back to court! It would be really stupid.
@@GreyWhiteBlue nobody thinks long-term. Because of immigration, the country grows 1% per year, that means when the nation is twice as old as it is now there will be 4 billion people here. Obviously things will be bleak way before that number is hit but there will be nothing that can be done once you’ve overpopulated the resources and land. India didn’t get packed all at once and neither did Haiti.
I am from Australia and know virtually nothing about these issues except what is in the media /you tube etc. This Sheriff was really interesting and understanding, explained the situation in the best possible way. I have to admire him, well done and my congratulations to him.
Excellent documentary.
I live in Yuma Arizona. Glad you made this.
That sherif is pretty chill. Letting Peter drive lol
This is out in the West Texas mountains which I've heard so many times has some of the most friendly people haha
They didn't really say on camera what that was about; however, I got the idea that the original occupants of the car were being arrested, and that the Sheriff was impounding their vehicle. Since they were already there, the Sheriff asked Peter to drive that vehicle back and to follow him, rather than him having to call one of his other deputies or a tow truck in that remote area. Otherwise, there would be no reason for Peter to drive a second vehicle and to follow the Sheriff back to town. He just stopped the video at that point.
@@suzanneyoung8011 but what does that have to do with the sheriff being chill?
@@grantglow4206 it's the reason why he had Peter drive.
Much respect to Sheriff Ronney Dodson and his insights. "This country is thirsty for cheap labour". So much can be drawn from that statement alone. Another stellar mini-doc Peter xx from New Zealand.
How bout the statement:
They are sending "rapists, drug dealers and child traffickers"
😐🤡
@@BadKittus He admits that most people are crossing for work, yet he repeats this tired bs. Dude is a racist. 100%
@@BadKittus
What is your point?

Holding a Sheriff position ......
those words SHOULD NOT be coming outa his mouth.
Completely ignorant and racist to mark pple coming from the south who are risking everything including their lives and children's lives as "rapists, drug dealers and child traffickers"
It's a common right wing trope.
@@BadKittus What about it? To General you think? Bias? Racial Profiling?
Really likeable, the Sheriff. He's kind and firm, probably the perfect Dad/Grandpa!
This Sherrif said it exactly how I feel. I wish this sort of perspective was shared with the public at large. Reasonable concerns while still keeping it respectful and logical.
We need USA companies paying better in Mexico plants, to keep citizens in their. Own country
@@brandonjones2282 the majority of the people coming into the us are not from Mexico. Mexico does not want them in their country either. Majority of the people entering are from Guatemala Honduras El Salvador and now Venezuela. The only person who could have given a very good deterrent , went on tv and said don't come, with their mouth, and by every single action said come and bring all your friends. The country is failing its own poor people, plus the 450,000 kids in foster care. The people at the southern border are just a fraction, of the people coming into the US undocumented The Canadian US border has many people coming through, plus the US government is bringing thousands of people every year from refugee camps across the world. Migration in its self is not the problem, it is how many poor people you allow. The United States already had plenty of poor people who will use more benefits thant they will ever make working contributing Tax dollars. That is a fact. You can't add to this population by bringing in foreign aliens that are immediately on the social welfare train. There is lots of talk and 0 infrastructure put in place. The social benefits platform is already stretched very thin. If you catch all these idiots talking they always say we'll get them in contact with resources, however they failed to mention that all those resources are not taking new applicants.
@@chula686 Well said Chula. Damn 9-11 dust had barely settled n there we had Obama n Trump a decade later bringing thousands of Islamic refugees into the country - all expenses paid with citizenship ; housing, welfare, medical, education, financial loans n federal grants to start new businesses.
That's why folks in Brewster county keep voting Ronnie back into office. What you see is honest and fair treatment even to the criminals! He loves who he is and where he's from and in turn most of us love our sheriff and will continue to support him as long as he wants the job.
This sheriff represents himself well and represents Texas well. You're really doing a great job, Peter!
Thank Peter this Sheriff is the real deal
No one really understands unless they have their feet on the Ground. When someone with decades talks, I listen. Love your interaction, love your stories. Love your channel
I love this sheriff. He seems to have a good handle on a very difficult and complex situation. Heck I’m from NY and I’d vote for him! Great video! Thanks for sharing
Oh I bet this same sheriff has illegals on his ranch working them.I'll bet that his buddies and these stores they visited all do the very same but then try to act like they are so against illegal immigrants.I bet he has few illegal ranch hands working his ranch and his buddies BnB has illegal immigrant maids cleaning the rooms and making repairs. I'll willing bet he too is part of the real problem of US citizens renting/sale/employing these illegals and is reason this goes on and getting out of hand now days! I mean look at his willing to even put on his nice shiny 80k truck how it was paid for by illegal immigrants , bet it was bought at his buddies dealership he made sure to make promises to use for other services......You want to close your eyes and ignore the red flags then do so , but dont try to then paint yourself as a die hard american who would never sell out for perks...Not going to even mention about a unsecured loaded shotgun just laying in the passenger seat with barrel into the floor....Do that with your weapons as a private citizen , just put them in the passenger seat and claim locking the car doors is securing that loaded weapon..
Yep.....
The:
"They're sending the rapists, drug dealers and child traffickers" really hit the mark for me too.

I was going to compliment him by saying he looks like a John Wayne type of guy but that would be a compliment to John Wayne...this Sheriff is a true man
This sheriff needs his own show. I could listen to him talk about this stuff forever. I bet he has some great stories not just immigration related.
same af
Low key a weekly reality show like “Cops” for border patrol would probably do wonders to open the eyes of the mainstream of the problem these folks are facing.
Thank you so much for this Peter you're doing incredibly important work. This is how stories need to be told and not documentary style. Documentary has become a fairly broad term and a lot of times it's really just propaganda, and I don't care if the propaganda's from the left or the right or anything in between I do not like it when I feel like I'm being manipulated into believing one way about any given topic.
We need LAW enforcement like this guy EVERYWHERE!! " to The people" yessir, a man who actually knows who he works for, not belittle, stereotype, escalate situations and harass us, like the majority do....amen sir, I'd vote for you
Se necesitan más sheriff como este hombre que Dios lo guarde y lo bendiga siempre
Estoy completamente de acuerdo, tío
Texas needs more sheriffs like this guy
Every state needs more sheriffs like this.
Thank you to this Sheriff for his openess in sharing his knowledge. The Federal government needs to open their ears and eyes an watch these videos!!
But what videos or books can we emphasize to people like you? It is always so sad to see people like you.
Thank you Peter for the work you do. Fantastic brother!
Word class sheriff, very professional. Salute to him
What a great perspective and refreshing look at law enforcement, it shows new school isn't always better then old school. That man is invested in his community we can all learn from him! Clearly the Mexican and American cultures are intertwined more then I can ever understand from Canada. Thank you for an honest story.
No they are not! Americans hate Mexicans to the teeth they treat us Mexicans as subhumans and view us as a whole inferior, I bet that sheriff was just putting on a facade but in the end Americans dream of open season on Mexicans its two countries that will NEVER be friends and also the people of Mexico will always be hated by Americans with the White American as whole being the first contender. Its really ignorant to say cultures are intertwined when they really are not they just despise and make fun of us.
I like this Sheriff, he tells ya the truth and doesn't beat around the bushes about it! He cares about what's going on at the border unlike 95% of Congress! I wish they had more help to do their job safely!
Your series has really covered this issue well. Thank you.
I love this sheriff. He speaks with wisdom and has been doing this I’m sure for a very long time! I’m glad you got the opportunity to hang out with him and make this video!
This sherrif is so genuine and compassionate. He reminds me a little of Tommy Lee Jones character in No Country For Old Men. This is A1 content Peter. Please don't stop doing what you're doing. This is the wave.🙌🏼
