Thanks for the nice vedeo. Dear plz tell me if i got the turist visa of gutemala than can i enter the maxico or not plz tell me in detail . Becoz i m from india.
I travel with a US passport. I don't know the laws for each country I go to, but 90% of the time I don't have the proper documents (they tell you). And when you're sitting at a border, they have the power (guns), they make the laws, weather their accurate or not. Lol That is a fact you have to deal with. They didn't know but I live just 4 for hours away and I go through this document crap every month or so. I've learned to give gifts not money as bribes, but it takes practice. I don't know if India needs a tourist visa, each country is different. The best is to do an internet search and prepare to pay a small bribe ($5 or $10). The more they can scare you the money they will get from you. I know of people paying hundreds of dollars. I don't speak Spanish, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, or any other language, so I know I will have problems. Solve all the problems right there, the more people involved the more problems you will have. Mike
@@angelgallegos199 the way I understand if you have a Central American passport you can go into all of the Central American countries no problem. Mexico is not central America. Otherwise you have problems. Mike
Thanks for sharing tour trip back Mike. This trip is riskier than most people think, it demands high level skills to avoid troubles. This is the IL guy that was moving to TX, take care man, and count on me and my place as a safe heaven when you come back to the Houston area.
GECR 64 I tell people the trip is not dangerous until you have a problem, and then the problems don't end unless you have solutions in your bag of tricks. LOL Yes I know who you are, and I hope your new life works out better then you are planing. Mike
this is so cool that you show the real video experience of going from country to country so many ppl think that everyone trying to cross the border is Mexican when in fact 40-55% are from Guatemala, Honduras and so on
+Austinman49 I think I mentioned, as of 5 or 6 years ago, taking pictures at this crossing (and many other places) could get you killed. Taking pictures in some places is dangerous. Sometimes they follow you until you get in a bad spot and victimize you, if you took a picture of the wrong person be accident. They can look at you and know you are a tourist and its harder to victimize you if you stay in tourist area, I don't. The border is not an tourist attraction, some are much worse then others. Mike
It's interesting to see how this border town looks similar to the mountain towns that I visited in S.E. Asian countries, like: Laos, northern Vietnam, & northern Thailand. It even has the 3 wheeled motor taxis, called, "Tuk-Tuk" in Thailand & Laos. As for the "always climbing hills" part, Laos is a jungle covered mountainous country like Guatemala, once you head north from its capital, Vientiane & the Mekong River Valley.
You are kinda right, I tour Asia the last two years. Third world Mountainous border towns have a lot in common. It's almost like the wild west. Lol Mike
Hands down the best Mexican-Guatemalan border crossing video in this platform, as a Mexican-American who has a interest in videos and images of international border crossings, nobody has really filmed the Guatemalan border in greater detail than this video, Mike, here's my imaginary prize for having the courage to cross into Guatemala in this dangerous yet interesting journey →🏆← (P.S. I watch this video when I'm waiting for a package in the mail!)
It's amazing how much fear and intimidation they try to portray (and in some cases you better be dam worried) at the Tapachula border crossing, but it has got better. The worse crossing I've ever seen. Lol That's why I suggest Comitan on 190. The drive is a little tougher but the crossing is easy and safe. Mike
@@nostressmike Thank you so much for responding Mike! Because of this video, the Guatemalan border is on my bucket list! About terrible border crossings, in my opinion, the worst crossing of any border in Mexico from my experience is the Laredo border crossing, that where's majority of violence in the Texan part of the border happens, but thank Lord nothing bad happened to me in Mexico besides a scammer scamming my father out of MX$2000 in Querétaro (A state next to Guanajuato) because the scammer claimed that my Father bumped into the scammer's car, but anyways thanks for responding (P.S. I got a question, have you been to Guanajuato yet?)
@@HungryCaterpillar179 no, but close. I cross at Laredo and take 57 then avoid Mexico City going to the gulf and then south. I'm not vaccinated so I have no plans on heading that way, yet. Lol Mike
@@nostressmike Well it all depends on what season or time of day it is, not all people have the same experiences, my experiences are very small compared to your travels due to me being a young adult, but anyways I'm glad I got to talk to you Mike, since your videos about Central America are very interesting and inspiring, one day I'll travel Central America via either car or place, thank you and stay safe from the virus.
@@HungryCaterpillar179 piss on the Virus, stay focused on our Constitution and your good morals and there is no fear. You're correct, with youth, those that believe they have authority over you will try to use it on you. Mike
NoStressMike that’s sad but this pandemic is stressing people, health systems, and jobs like never before. People in the US want to escape but there’s nowhere to go. We just need to sit still and let this virus die off.
@@rebeccapierson5498 you missed the point, it's not the virus, racial, or greenhouse. There is a Marxist /comminist take over going on now and it will be worse as we get to elections and afterwards. When we sit back and do nothing, we as a nation will no longer exist. We need to wake up, talk to people who are not frightened, prepare, and organize. Our rights are being attacked and we are losing them at this moment. The new normal will be the lose of our great American way of life, just like Guatemala, and it has started. Mike
My first thought was the street's were not full of thrash like here in California.. At least not where he is driving I guess. Man, El Salvador was so filthy you would not beleive it. And it was filthy everywhere..
Hey Mike, thanks for your video. The crossing looks very smooth. But its also done 6 years ago. I bet a few things changed since COVID. We want to cross the border from Mexico to Guatemala with a mexican car and a dog. Is this border a good one to choose for us? Or do you have other suggestions?
Cross at La Mesilla not Tapachula do it yourself don't pay anyone to help you. I'm scared to drive because I don't know what I would do if anyone with a gun tells me I have to be quarantined. Mike
I lived, traveled, and worked in Guatemala and Central America for 14 years, it was a little dangerous and worse now. I worked on some of the Mayan Indians, and they worked on me. Mike
Menns Domain Yes, I heard about Jade Helm 2015! And that is another symptom of how bad our government is. Half of our population has its hand out for money from the government. We, as The People, are in bad shape. Another reason why I say the states have sold US out and that makes the 3 Man Militia concept even more important then ever. Mike
NoStressMike no actually it was La mesilla Guatemala border in between Mexico located in Huehuetenago Tapachula it’s in the other side of chiapas Mexico to get in to San Marcos del Carmen side of 🇬🇹.
Do you think that you can take a picture or video of the so called wall between mexico and guatamala. Im really tired of people comparing the American border to the one from guatamala. Thank you
judy barcenas there is no physical wall between Mexico and Guatemala that I am aware of. it's all natural borders, mountains and rivers. it's easy to cross, the problem you are not welcomed once you get across. The legal tourist have fun and are welcomed, the illegals are not welcomed and are treated poorly if not imprisoned. Mike
politicalsheepdog I drive about in the middle of others, I pass some and others pass me (about 4 miles an hour over). Yes, it's a 95 Camry with 280,000 miles. Mike
+Louis King * You are right, they are probably about the same. * The gullible Americans believe the government is there to protect us from our-self. LOL Mike
+Austinman49 I think I mentioned, as of 5 or 6 years ago, taking pictures at this crossing (and many other places) could get you killed. I think it was 2012 Mexico passed an insurance law, I was the only idiots that followed that law for 3 years and finely a crossing guard told no body does that. LOL Yes all none Mexico registered vehicles have to get a permit to be in Mexico. My car is registered in Guatemala, I just need insurance to drive in the US (and a DL). Mike
Great video thank you for sharing. I have a few questions. what is the speed limit? I didn't see any signs for a speed limit or do you pick your own speed? Next question where in the heck are any gas stations? that country looks like a dump be safe.
The toll roads are normally 70 mph/110 kph. They have just introduced radar, so you need to watch your speed. Gas stations are owned by the government so they put them where they want to. The country is unforgiving and a lot of fun, if you take personal responsibility, use a lot of common sense, and have a good attitude you should be fine. Mike
im trying to take a road trip from oregon to ecuador; i have a truck what kind of recommendations can you make....also how do you deal with currency exchange and all that
I have a question ..you coming from us ? You drove all acroos mexico.. and if you took higway 57 ..to mexico city?then you pass puebla cty becouse i live over here ...i would like to know you experincy from puebla to comitan...
Peublo to ??? I use to drive along the Gulf coast until I found the by pass for Mexico city. Not speaking Spanish mad it difficult and lengthy to drive down there by myself. I drove across Mexico 1994-2016, delivering cars/trucks or just for the adventure to Panama and Canada on a motorcycle with my dog Zena. Mike
Ok you sould learn some spanish y speak some enghish my firs languje spanish ..what car you drive becouse engine sounds good wen you pass de mototaxi and trucks?
Yes a sticker and that sticker tells everybody you are a foreigner and marks you as a Target to be victimized. I've learned not to put the sticker on and when the police/military stop me they try to intimidate me because I don't have the sticker up. Mike
Cedar Poplar I thought the same thing about Chicago, LA, and New York. If people would control themselves we wouldn't think we needed an intrusive government. Surprising what personal responsibility and morals could do. Mike
I have a question, when this guy said. my GPS is not working anymore does that mean there's no satellites traveling around the world. does this mean the earth is flat and is covered by a dome as the Bible says it is
Wow, I'm from Argentina and I reside in the US undocumented. It's very hard and difficult because with this title comes alot of stigma that creates an intense hostile environment for us at times. But there are also great things here, this is why I started my immigration process after 35 years and deportationis a possibility. I understand both sides and I have created a platform for those like me in order to break the stereotype as well as to advocate about doing things right if possible ✌️
If someone thinks criminal activity is a way to live your life they need to stay away from me. When the means justifies the end I can see a lot of immoral and unconstitutional activities. Mike
No pumps in this video. I watched the whole video and it brought back some memories. I moved from Guatemala in 2017 and started touring Asia. Now I'm in Oklahoma. Mike
gobierno Mexicano por favor haz algo con este cruce tan desordenado como Mexicano te pido que pongas un minuto de atención en esto hace falta un mero para q la entrada y salida de las personas sea regulada para saber quiénes entran a nuestro México no digo q no q se les niegue la entrada solo q sea regulada con un muro.
G.T.I 92 they are modernizing this crossing year to year, so it is improving. I crossed here yesterday and I took two illegals with me. Lol I will make a video talking about what happened and how it worked. Mike
How ridiculous as a Mexican to hear that of a fellow countryman !!! We do not want walls with our guatemalan brothers, of course, if it would be very good that the entrance and exit of people be better regulated for the benefit of both countries
I think it is, if not, there's a crossing for big commercial trucks down the road. Pam Am highway doesn't go all the way to South America. When I was in Panama and Costa Rica I couldn't find a road, just a boat. Mike
I enjoy the adventure of crossing after I've crossed. They don't have to be easy/hard to get along with. If you play your cards properly, they will bypass the law because that is the moral thing to do. Mike
Carlos Gonzales from Laredo to Mexico City is highway 57 then towards Veracruz is toll road and it's safe, about $200. Then to Comitan, Mexico towards Huehuetenango, Guatemala. No good roads in Guatemala except towards Guatemala City. Don't drive at night. Mike
Border towns. Transience, edginess, lack of values. Make your killing and disappear into the chaos and confusion. Split the scene. You are in another country in a heartbeat. The ones who aren't passing thru are ready to take advantage of those who are. The ones who are passing thru are ready to take advantage of those who are not. Always danger lurking. Chess with high stakes. Winner takes all and the game is over in a flash.
+NoStressMike I kinda like the edginess. Makes me feel like I am an edgy dude. haha I've been to Palenque, Chiapas near this border crossing. The jungle of southern Mexico has a special feel.
@@gennews8590 this is at Chapis and it's bad, I have friends in Tapachula. There's one in the center and at Belize (that I know of), they are much easier to cross. Mike
+DGLIMA VEGA The Guatemala side has the same 2 lane road for over 100 years, but now it is asphalted. LOL 40 years ago much was still rock. The fence you see was put up less then 5 years ago. Mike
I was in Vietnam 2 years ago, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. Very similar, except that the streets are filled with motorbikes. Not many traffic lights, no subways, so everything moves above ground. The air is filthy. Except for dodging the motorbikes, I never felt unsafe, though there's not much police presence. For a Communist country, everyday business is far more laissez-faire than in American cities. Every possible square inch of city space sold something. Everyone very busy trying to make a living. Overhead, there were all sorts of wires, electrical and communication, wrapped and twisted in ways that would be considered code violations in USA. I glad I visited the place, but I wouldn't want to live there, even though I ran into many expatriates from USA, Australia and Europe. I don't know how the Vietnamese put up with it without snapping and going postal. It's so hot that people stay out in the streets until late at night.
+Louis King * The way you see things that look confusing and strange, is the way I live my life. LOL * As an expatriate life is good, especially knowing you have the freedom to come and go that others around you don't have. * I am wanting to go to the Orient for a few months/years, but not by myself and I want to take a sail boat. Mike
Original intent of the 14th Amendment The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads in part: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside." Babies born to illegal alien mothers within U.S. borders are called anchor babies because under the 1965 immigration Act, they act as an anchor that pulls the illegal alien mother and eventually a host of other relatives into permanent U.S. residency. (Jackpot babies is another term). The United States did not limit immigration in 1868 when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified. Thus there were, by definition, no illegal immigrants and the issue of citizenship for children of those here in violation of the law was nonexistent. Granting of automatic citizenship to children of illegal alien mothers is a recent and totally inadvertent and unforeseen result of the amendment and the Reconstructionist period in which it was ratified. Free! Post-Civil War reforms focused on injustices to African Americans. The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied as recently-freed slaves. It was written in a manner so as to prevent state governments from ever denying citizenship to blacks born in the United States. But in 1868, the United States had no formal immigration policy, and the authors therefore saw no need to address immigration explicitly in the amendment. Senator Jacob Howard worked closely with Abraham Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which abolished slavery. He also served on the Senate Joint Committee on Reconstruction, which drafted the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by stating: "Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country." This understanding was reaffirmed by Senator Edward Cowan, who stated: "[A foreigner in the United States] has a right to the protection of the laws; but he is not a citizen in the ordinary acceptance of the word..." The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was intended to exclude American-born persons from automatic citizenship whose allegiance to the United States was not complete. With illegal aliens who are unlawfully in the United States, their native country has a claim of allegiance on the child. Thus, the completeness of their allegiance to the United States is impaired, which therefore precludes automatic citizenship. Supreme Court decisions The correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is subject to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby. Over a century ago, the Supreme Court appropriately confirmed this restricted interpretation of citizenship in the so-called "Slaughter-House cases" [83 US 36 (1873) and 112 US 94 (1884)]13. In the 1884 Elk v.Wilkins case12, the phrase "subject to its jurisdiction" was interpreted to exclude "children of ministers, consuls, and citizens of foreign states born within the United States." In Elk, the American Indian claimant was considered not an American citizen because the law required him to be "not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance." The Court essentially stated that the status of the parents determines the citizenship of the child. To qualify children for birthright citizenship, based on the 14th Amendment, parents must owe "direct and immediate allegiance" to the U.S. and be "completely subject" to its jurisdiction. In other words, they must be United States citizens. Congress subsequently passed a special act to grant full citizenship to American Indians, who were not citizens even through they were born within the borders of the United States. The Citizens Act of 1924, codified in 8USCSß1401, provides that: The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth: (a) a person born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof; (b) a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe. In 1898, the Wong Kim Ark Supreme Court case10,11 once again, in a ruling based strictly on the 14th Amendment, concluded that the status of the parents was crucial in determining the citizenship of the child. The current misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment is based in part upon the presumption that the Wong Kim Ark ruling encompassed illegal aliens. In fact, it did not address the children of illegal aliens and non-immigrant aliens, but rather determined an allegiance for legal immigrant parents based on the meaning of the word domicil(e). Since it is inconceivable that illegal alien parents could have a legal domicile in the United States, the ruling clearly did not extend birthright citizenship to children of illegal alien parents. Indeed, the ruling strengthened the original intent of the 14th Amendment. The original intent of the 14th Amendment was clearly not to facilitate illegal aliens defying U.S. law and obtaining citizenship for their offspring, nor obtaining benefits at taxpayer expense. Current estimates indicate there may be between 300,000 and 700,000 anchor babies born each year in the U.S., thus causing illegal alien mothers to add more to the U.S. population each year than immigration from all sources in an average year before 1965. (See consequences.) American citizens must be wary of elected politicians voting to illegally extend our generous social benefits to illegal aliens and other criminals. For more information, see: 1.

Adrian Haskaj this was Tapacula/El Carman area towards the West coast. Mike
NoStressMike no actually it was La mesilla Guatemala border in between Mexico located in Huehuetenago Tapachula it’s in the other side of chiapas Mexico to get in to San Marcos del Carmen side of 🇬🇹.
I don’t speak Spanish....what was being said on the loudspeaker at the crossing?
The lady was talking about the Stuff she sales and prices
Do you think that you can take a picture or video of the so called wall between mexico and guatamala. Im really tired of people comparing the American border to the one from guatamala. Thank you
judy barcenas there is no physical wall between Mexico and Guatemala that I am aware of. it's all natural borders, mountains and rivers. it's easy to cross, the problem you are not welcomed once you get across. The legal tourist have fun and are welcomed, the illegals are not welcomed and are treated poorly if not imprisoned. Mike
That was some pretty agressive driving. The road was getting narrow before crossing into Guatamala. You still driving the Toyota?

I drive about in the middle of others, I pass some and others pass me (about 4 miles an hour over). Yes, it's a 95 Camry with 280,000 miles. Mike
NoStressMike
Do you ever buy Silver While in Guatemala and Mexico?
politicalsheepdog
Whenever I find it. Mike
+ Mike: The food sold in these establishments; has it been inspected by their version of the USDA?
+Louis King
* You are right, they are probably about the same.
* The gullible Americans believe the government is there to protect us from our-self. LOL Mike
+Louis King
Few if any are inspected, that is called regulations.
Few have refrigeration, meaning all food is fresh. Mike
Oh wow I believe it
Are you required to register your automobile and or carry liability insurance
+Austinman49
I think I mentioned, as of 5 or 6 years ago, taking pictures at this crossing (and many other places) could get you killed.
I think it was 2012 Mexico passed an insurance law, I was the only idiots that followed that law for 3 years and finely a crossing guard told no body does that. LOL
Yes all none Mexico registered vehicles have to get a permit to be in Mexico. My car is registered in Guatemala, I just need insurance to drive in the US (and a DL). Mike
Great video thank you for sharing. I have a few questions. what is the speed limit? I didn't see any signs for a speed limit or do you pick your own speed? Next question where in the heck are any gas stations? that country looks like a dump be safe.
The toll roads are normally 70 mph/110 kph. They have just introduced radar, so you need to watch your speed.
Gas stations are owned by the government so they put them where they want to.
The country is unforgiving and a lot of fun, if you take personal responsibility, use a lot of common sense, and have a good attitude you should be fine. Mike
+NoStressMike ok thanks mike
Nintendogirl1983 ..Mexico and all Latin Country are shit hold!!!! So let's send all back.
People walking all the time on road of course you should know . how to ride even there is no speed limit you have to creat yourself ..
im trying to take a road trip from oregon to ecuador; i have a truck what kind of recommendations can you make....also how do you deal with currency exchange and all that
You need to email me and we will Skype. Mike
mimi taylor I don't believe there's a continuous road from panama to Colombia.
You'd need a car ferry.
I have a question ..you coming from us ? You drove all acroos mexico.. and if you took higway 57 ..to mexico city?then you pass puebla cty becouse i live over here ...i would like to know you experincy from puebla to comitan...
Peublo to ??? I use to drive along the Gulf coast until I found the by pass for Mexico city. Not speaking Spanish mad it difficult and lengthy to drive down there by myself.
I drove across Mexico 1994-2016, delivering cars/trucks or just for the adventure to Panama and Canada on a motorcycle with my dog Zena. Mike
Ok you sould learn some spanish y speak some enghish my firs languje spanish ..what car you drive becouse engine sounds good wen you pass de mototaxi and trucks?
@@juanleal3229 I'm Chinese and can't speak Chinese. Lol I wish I could speak the language in all the countries I go to.
I drove a Toyota camry. Mike
Nice car ...where do you live i hear you have home in guatemala en.mexico
@@juanleal3229 I'm homeless but looking for a home in the US. Mike
what's on the right side of your screen Sir? it must be an sticker i guess ...
Yes a sticker and that sticker tells everybody you are a foreigner and marks you as a Target to be victimized.
I've learned not to put the sticker on and when the police/military stop me they try to intimidate me because I don't have the sticker up. Mike
God, is such a beautiful country down there. To bad there's so much trouble.
Cedar Poplar I thought the same thing about Chicago, LA, and New York.
If people would control themselves we wouldn't think we needed an intrusive government.
Surprising what personal responsibility and morals could do. Mike
I feel like if you look white going across these southern borders that 6ou can get murdered by the local muggers.
I have a question, when this guy said. my GPS is not working anymore does that mean there's no satellites traveling around the world. does this mean the earth is flat and is covered by a dome as the Bible says it is
Steve Armendariz sr I cross in different places at the Mex/US border and there seems to be a dead zone on my GPS as I get close. Mike
Lol
Steve Armendariz sr it could mean shitty phone service!
La Mesilla
Wow, I'm from Argentina and I reside in the US undocumented. It's very hard and difficult because with this title comes alot of stigma that creates an intense hostile environment for us at times. But there are also great things here, this is why I started my immigration process after 35 years and deportationis a possibility. I understand both sides and I have created a platform for those like me in order to break the stereotype as well as to advocate about doing things right if possible ✌️
If someone thinks criminal activity is a way to live your life they need to stay away from me.
When the means justifies the end I can see a lot of immoral and unconstitutional activities. Mike
@@nostressmike I absolutely respect your opinion and time. That is your right and thank you for sharing.
You going back....thought you were coming to stay in oklahoma
Jeff Galloway My wife's estate was important enough for others to kill her. I have to finish my obligations here for whatever the cost. Mike
Praying for you daily.... i have lived in a dangerous environment before... no fun
Jeff Galloway
Thank you, Jeff, those prayers are not being wasted. Mike
Who killed your wife and where.....Why?
Holaaa saludos desde Pakistan!!!
I never been to Pakistan. Mike
@@nostressmike Ok,You might come to visit to Pakistan naturally beauty highest mountains will get you happy like you're in heaven
I can't see the petrol pump by the way..
No pumps in this video. I watched the whole video and it brought back some memories. I moved from Guatemala in 2017 and started touring Asia. Now I'm in Oklahoma. Mike
gobierno Mexicano por favor haz algo con este cruce tan desordenado como Mexicano te pido que pongas un minuto de atención en esto hace falta un mero para q la entrada y salida de las personas sea regulada para saber quiénes entran a nuestro México no digo q no q se les niegue la entrada solo q sea regulada con un muro.
G.T.I 92 they are modernizing this crossing year to year, so it is improving.
I crossed here yesterday and I took two illegals with me. Lol I will make a video talking about what happened and how it worked. Mike
A video would be fine thanks.
G.T.I 92 The name will be "Coyote Mike"
Thank you, I'll pay attention
How ridiculous as a Mexican to hear that of a fellow countryman !!! We do not want walls with our guatemalan brothers, of course, if it would be very good that the entrance and exit of people be better regulated for the benefit of both countries
Mexico to Guatemala looks like Philippines
This isn't the Pan Am Hey Hombre
I think it is, if not, there's a crossing for big commercial trucks down the road.
Pam Am highway doesn't go all the way to South America. When I was in Panama and Costa Rica I couldn't find a road, just a boat. Mike
Las mesias
the immigration people seemed pretty nice .or not?
I enjoy the adventure of crossing after I've crossed. They don't have to be easy/hard to get along with. If you play your cards properly, they will bypass the law because that is the moral thing to do. Mike
awsome
GUALAMALA AAA 😂😂😂
Which difference
Mexican roads and Guatemala roads Mexican really good roads
Carlos Gonzales from Laredo to Mexico City is highway 57 then towards Veracruz is toll road and it's safe, about $200.
Then to Comitan, Mexico towards Huehuetenango, Guatemala. No good roads in Guatemala except towards Guatemala City.
Don't drive at night. Mike
Your one brave soul im Mexican and i dont go to mexico
Only those backwards narco towns, similar to those hillbillies town in the United States. Otherwise most places are safe and chill
Border towns. Transience, edginess, lack of values. Make your killing and disappear into the chaos and confusion. Split the scene. You are in another country in a heartbeat. The ones who aren't passing thru are ready to take advantage of those who are. The ones who are passing thru are ready to take advantage of those who are not. Always danger lurking. Chess with high stakes. Winner takes all and the game is over in a flash.
+Michael Robert
Everything you said is true, I came from a town on the OK/KS border and it was the same but not near so dangerous. Mike
+NoStressMike I kinda like the edginess. Makes me feel like I am an edgy dude. haha I've been to Palenque, Chiapas near this border crossing. The jungle of southern Mexico has a special feel.
+Michael Robert
It's hot and I have a friend that got dengue fever so its starting to get too dangerous for me to spend much time there. Mike
Why do you live in Guatemala......Why not just move to the country in Kansas?
watch out they never had time to film as anything.
So many Toyota trucks..
That is Toyota Truck country. The roads are bad to none existent, built tough, good mileage, easily repairable, small, and low maintenance. Mike
NoStressMike only one boarder entrance or which Mexican state you came thru?
@@gennews8590 this is at Chapis and it's bad, I have friends in Tapachula. There's one in the center and at Belize (that I know of), they are much easier to cross. Mike
the streets are small why no space do not see the mountains
+DGLIMA VEGA
The Guatemala side has the same 2 lane road for over 100 years, but now it is asphalted. LOL 40 years ago much was still rock. The fence you see was put up less then 5 years ago. Mike
GUATEMALA IS OTHER LEVEL WAAOOO GOD BLESSGUATEMALA AND AMÈRICA
both have a lot of positive to share. Mike
Put Put vs Tuc Tuc
Size matters!!! lol

@@rohanvirdi1831 if your talking illegal, it's very dangerous. Mike
@@nostressmike yes I am talking about illegal way ,I want to come amarica for a better life. By the way where from you
@@nostressmike I can speek 5 language
I like the way Trumps says Mexico has a strong borders to justify his actions
I was in Vietnam 2 years ago, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. Very similar, except that the streets are filled with motorbikes. Not many traffic lights, no subways, so everything moves above ground. The air is filthy. Except for dodging the motorbikes, I never felt unsafe, though there's not much police presence. For a Communist country, everyday business is far more laissez-faire than in American cities. Every possible square inch of city space sold something. Everyone very busy trying to make a living. Overhead, there were all sorts of wires, electrical and communication, wrapped and twisted in ways that would be considered code violations in USA. I glad I visited the place, but I wouldn't want to live there, even though I ran into many expatriates from USA, Australia and Europe. I don't know how the Vietnamese put up with it without snapping and going postal. It's so hot that people stay out in the streets until late at night.
+Louis King
* The way you see things that look confusing and strange, is the way I live my life. LOL
* As an expatriate life is good, especially knowing you have the freedom to come and go that others around you don't have.
* I am wanting to go to the Orient for a few months/years, but not by myself and I want to take a sail boat. Mike
I want to travel to the Orient by sail boat also. If you ever need a partner to share expense to go there, let me know. Thanks.

Original intent of the 14th Amendment
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads in part:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside."
Babies born to illegal alien mothers within U.S. borders are called anchor babies because under the 1965 immigration Act, they act as an anchor that pulls the illegal alien mother and eventually a host of other relatives into permanent U.S. residency. (Jackpot babies is another term).
The United States did not limit immigration in 1868 when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified. Thus there were, by definition, no illegal immigrants and the issue of citizenship for children of those here in violation of the law was nonexistent. Granting of automatic citizenship to children of illegal alien mothers is a recent and totally inadvertent and unforeseen result of the amendment and the Reconstructionist period in which it was ratified.
Free! Post-Civil War reforms focused on injustices to African Americans. The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied as recently-freed slaves. It was written in a manner so as to prevent state governments from ever denying citizenship to blacks born in the United States. But in 1868, the United States had no formal immigration policy, and the authors therefore saw no need to address immigration explicitly in the amendment.
Senator Jacob Howard worked closely with Abraham Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which abolished slavery. He also served on the Senate Joint Committee on Reconstruction, which drafted the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by stating:
"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."
This understanding was reaffirmed by Senator Edward Cowan, who stated:
"[A foreigner in the United States] has a right to the protection of the laws; but he is not a citizen in the ordinary acceptance of the word..."
The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was intended to exclude American-born persons from automatic citizenship whose allegiance to the United States was not complete. With illegal aliens who are unlawfully in the United States, their native country has a claim of allegiance on the child. Thus, the completeness of their allegiance to the United States is impaired, which therefore precludes automatic citizenship.
Supreme Court decisions
The correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is subject to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby.
Over a century ago, the Supreme Court appropriately confirmed this restricted interpretation of citizenship in the so-called "Slaughter-House cases" [83 US 36 (1873) and 112 US 94 (1884)]13. In the 1884 Elk v.Wilkins case12, the phrase "subject to its jurisdiction" was interpreted to exclude "children of ministers, consuls, and citizens of foreign states born within the United States." In Elk, the American Indian claimant was considered not an American citizen because the law required him to be "not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance."
The Court essentially stated that the status of the parents determines the citizenship of the child. To qualify children for birthright citizenship, based on the 14th Amendment, parents must owe "direct and immediate allegiance" to the U.S. and be "completely subject" to its jurisdiction. In other words, they must be United States citizens.
Congress subsequently passed a special act to grant full citizenship to American Indians, who were not citizens even through they were born within the borders of the United States. The Citizens Act of 1924, codified in 8USCSß1401, provides that:
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;
(b) a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe.
In 1898, the Wong Kim Ark Supreme Court case10,11 once again, in a ruling based strictly on the 14th Amendment, concluded that the status of the parents was crucial in determining the citizenship of the child. The current misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment is based in part upon the presumption that the Wong Kim Ark ruling encompassed illegal aliens. In fact, it did not address the children of illegal aliens and non-immigrant aliens, but rather determined an allegiance for legal immigrant parents based on the meaning of the word domicil(e). Since it is inconceivable that illegal alien parents could have a legal domicile in the United States, the ruling clearly did not extend birthright citizenship to children of illegal alien parents. Indeed, the ruling strengthened the original intent of the 14th Amendment.
The original intent of the 14th Amendment was clearly not to facilitate illegal aliens defying U.S. law and obtaining citizenship for their offspring, nor obtaining benefits at taxpayer expense. Current estimates indicate there may be between 300,000 and 700,000 anchor babies born each year in the U.S., thus causing illegal alien mothers to add more to the U.S. population each year than immigration from all sources in an average year before 1965. (See consequences.)
American citizens must be wary of elected politicians voting to illegally extend our generous social benefits to illegal aliens and other criminals.
