Crossing Borders: The Human Impact of the Wall (US/Mexico)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- With over 350 million legal crossings every year, the U.S Mexico border is the busiest land border on earth.
Shot in stunning 4K and narrated by the 2018 Emmy® Award-winning actor Matthew Rhys, this compelling series explores six of the world’s most iconic walls and borders. It features the wall between the US and Mexico, the Korean DMZ, the Israel-Palestine Separation Barrier, the walled communities in Northern Ireland, Cyprus’ Green Line, and the now demolished Berlin Wall.
From the crumbling ruins of ancient walls to brick barriers that are currently under construction, each episode uncovers the human stories behind these walls and asks why they were built, how they affect people’s lives, and what happens when the walls come down. This is a series about hope and unity in the face of division and about the triumph of the human spirit in spite of separation.
[Released In 2018]

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that countries have the right to protect their borders. The concept is as old as civilization. China, India, Spain, Israel, and Hungary all have border walls and no one bats an eye
It's not. It's when tanned people, legal people who look like they might be illegal are all lumped into the same assumption (that they are bad and illegal). That's where the problem is. Just like the mob who said blue lives matter and at the same time hit a cop over the head with a fire extinguisher killing him. It's the same people who cant or refuse to make the distinction.
Having no borders for a country would be like having a house with no doors or windows.
Also...the child trafficking must stop.
And...as my filipinian aunt pointed out...she and my cousin went through all of the legal channels to become citizens - it was time consuming - the people who are cutting line (crossing illegally) are being very unfair to people like her.
@@SAN-np9tz Care to elaborate on what you mean by child trafficking?
@@Chipsnrips You know what human trafficking is. When I test to renew my Texas business (profession) license, a large part of it is on spotting women and children who are enslaved to these monsters. It is truly sad.
Exactly. It’s illegal. It has nothing to do with being a racist. Respecting the law isn’t racist. Drugs, criminals, want to just hide out in the USA. Why would anybody want those criminals in their country, town, street or as a neighbour’s. Stay out n go through the legal process to come in to the country. Very simple. .
Says a Vegan , ❌❌
@@OnlyMoneyJM How do my eating habits, and beliefs in not KILLING and consuming animals have anything to do with my respect for the law? Don’t lump everyone into the same group. I respect a living beings right to live. I also respect the law.
@@Tammissa that's good nothing against Vegan I agree I love animals .... But tell me about the borders
We don't need no more whatever the case maybe We can't afford them
Financially or Mentally
@@sandraturner3838 How did you get that house to begin with??
You cannot have a welfare system AND open borders. Please America, do not make the same mistakes we are making (and compounding) in the UK and Europe. (With the exception of Poland and Hungary)
Yup.
Why please, why do you care?
What? You can't get benefits without valid ID (at minimum). In most states you have to jump through a massive number of additional flaming hoops to qualify and keep things like EBT, TANF, etc. There will always be the random abuses of the system but that's the exception, not the rule. America's also the 2nd hardest country to be approved for SSI/Disability on EARTH. Stop spreading misinformation and worry about the real drain on our tax money: corporate welfare.
@@MsNooneinparticular Fact: Family comes to organization seeking help. Mother has three children and pregnant with 4th. She wants to have more babies. She can't receive benefits, but every single one of her children can and does. Each child receives free health care insurance and each child receives at least $192 each month in food stamps and free school lunch. Husband makes at least $500 to $700 each week tax free. Some of these families come in numerous nonprofits and receive free item's, then take these items to flea markets to sale. I've seen children born and raised in this country with zero health care coverage because their parents "make to much" to qualify. There are so many here legally paying taxes and they feel the same exact frustration. I've seen it firsthand. Point blank-come to the US legally. These kids born in the US to parents who are here illegally, that's on the parents, not the US. I hate these kid's have to pay for their parents decision's, but illegal border crossings has to be stopped.
@@MsNooneinparticular it appears though that you can VOTE without any particular form of ID
Why didn't the friend have the discussion of filing for citizenship 27 years ago? Come on now so much time to do the right thing and you don't. Becoming a citizen is the 1st step in building the American dream.
It’s the same for every country, except unlike America, not all countries allow a path for citizenship. Israel for one.
@@ShoutItFromTheHousetops but in this case they can
You obviously don't know anything about the requirements of becoming a citizen and it shows. 🤷♀️.
You have not a clue what the requirements are. I guess you wouldn't unless you live with someone who has to navigate the system. Lots of comments, some of them well meaning, are ugly without knowing what they're talking about. First...before the comments, why don't you read the requirements for citizenship in the US, and for getting a visa in the first place. It's public, easy to find on the internet, and good to know.
@@Hollylivengood Yup. Exactly. Well said 👏
There is to much people in America alone that are homeless,these are American citizens,if you watch the videos available here on UA-cam you will see the homeless crisis going on,the wall needs to be here because America needs to help their own people first before helping illegal immigrants
@स्वदेशी देश-भक्त No!! they were lazy. If legal immigrants from other countries can come here with nothing and make it in this country, then why can't these people who were born here make it?
Not lazy sorry your wrong as I said Sir go watch the videos available on here,these are people with jobs,some have even up to say 2,3 jobs but still can't make the rent in LA, decent working class citizens sleeping in their cars or in tents on sidewalks because the government has failed them, before you jump to point out the.."lazy" word..please go watch the content available here...
@@reneesingh6732 I saw many of the video clips on youtube related to that but I still think those people are in the minority. Also the way you and many people like you complain about the gov not helping the people make it sound like you want the government to go tax people with jobs and give the tax money to these people. Well have I got news for you, this is America not socialist Europe nor is it communist China. People need to adapt and change their lifestyle, move out of states where living expense is way too high, etc.
@@BoatLoad-o5z systematic issues set people up for failure from birth
@@ggwurld no, there is no systematic issue as you have stated. the real causes of the issue which led many people in the US to have financial problems are making the wrong decisions in life, not saving money, not investing in themselves, living above their means, and not being able to adapt to the ever changing world. The government is not your babysitter you have to be smart and look after yourself.
When citizens have to patrol their own property, then the government is to blame.
That goofball could be sniped by the cartel if he was truly a threat
Times have changed Mexico used to be resourceful. These people need to to fight for their country and stand up to their government because if they don't fight for their country they won't have one.
So true
You haven't been to mexico lately have you? Mexico is prosperous, most immigrants crossing these days arw from Central and South America not mexico.
"You have no idea of what your saying" Miga projects all over Mexico, more engineers then Canada, some of the best colleges in the world, with many foreign exchange students, many even from Europe, a commercial canal crossing there peninsula in the works, the Panama canal is drying up, inventors, scientist an aerospace industry, in 10-15 years (now a member of BRICS), Mexico will be an economic super power, the biggest problem in the U.S. is there ignorance, Arrogants, stupidity, slander and lies about Mexico, and there ignorance about how the U.S. benefits from Mexico, there always lookin for escape goats and foreign monsters and the cartel does not run nor control Mexico, Mexico is safer then many dangerous U.S. cities (don't get involved in things you shouldn't, like the cartel
If I illegally cross into Mexico and cry when I get caught, will they give me social security?
@Belltown Daisy I already do that. My generation isn't going to get social security. But I pay into it so people that hate me because I'm white can retire.
@Belltown Daisy no benefit? So why foreigners will dare to cross the border illegally?
Mexico doesn't give a damn if you come legally or illegally
@@kcm489 illegals do not get social security 🤦
@Belltown Daisy I an skeptical of that assertion. In the Amnesty of 1986, I worked with illegals as a go-between to the INS (forerunner to ICE). Every one of the illegals I worked with were paid cash under the table.
I totally support immigrants, but if you're here for 30 years and you still haven't tried to obtain legalized documents to be here, well then there's something you're doing wrong.
Don't be stupid it's not that they not trying to got the papaers they have to follow the laws.
You can try to become legal as many times as you want, and you will get denied, there is no immigration law that will make someone legal in this country. You guys do not know how it works, only us mexicans that go through it, we know. It is impossible to become legal, thanks to the bad immigration system we have.
@@fga1985 period
@@fga1985 actually I have family members who have come here about 25 years ago! And they applied for that amnesty protection law and they worked and eventually became US citizens! So don't tell me it can't be done. If they're going to come here and just expect to work under the table then they don't want to progress here, so therefore they shouldn't be here. But if this guy nor his wife have been here for 30 years and they haven't legalized some kind of visa or something to be here, well then that's their problem and they should expect to get deported. Alfin ahora son los hijos de ellos los que están pagando ahora.
@@djcue2301 the last amnesty was in 1986 by Ronald Regan, nothing else after that, there is some ways to become legal, almost impossible, if you marry a US citizen, if your parents are citizens if any of your children are citizens and older than 21, yes you can become legal, but as you can see none of that applies to a lot of people. So stop criticizing undocumented people without knowing what they go through. I hope God helps you understand the others and not be so hard on them.
I'm going to say this only once, come here legally. Once you cross the border illegally, you would be paid for cheap labor. I've seen friends and their families suffer due to them working 'under the table' jobs.
We just need to come up with a solution and a path to citizenship. It shouldn’t take 20 damn years (in some cases) to become a citizen.
It's almost like the system is designed to supply America with cheap labor that has no rights and can be deported at any second...
100pc
If only it was that easy.🙄
@Thomas b huh? I don’t understand what you’re saying. All I’m saying is we need to come up with a path to citizenship. That’s it. I didn’t say anything about accepting people. All I mentioned is put forth a path. Whether they get accepted or denied through said path of citizenship is an entirely different conversation. 1 step at a time.
since there are 20% of US households that do not speak English at home, it stands to reason there are way way more than 11 Million illegals here
@saskatchewean seems you entirely missed the point of the comment
@saskatchewean O h Yes it is bin some states such as Tennessee you have to
Speak English to gain employment and they have. classes you have to take for non English speaking immigrants and
Our Constitution Declaration of Independence Amendments and schools first language was everything in English and English is the Dominant language in the United States and all Americans

Not bow down and be subjected to another foreign broken language with No proper parts of speech such as Nouns Verbs Pronouns Adjectives Preposition
Complete sentences paragraph etc.,,
Target rich environment I'd say....
I speak three languages including English fluently , bet I can give most Americans a run for their money in English vocabulary and grammar , and so can many people I know , guess what ? We are all legal and English is not our Mother tongue.
Considering the "US citizens" you're referring to are mostly people that immigrated to the US in the first place, doesn't that make the majority of you English speakers illegals also? Actual natives aside.
I want that wall... playing on the heart strings of the people won't change our minds. Build that wall..
“What don’t you understand about *illegal* ?”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Exactly
The illegality of an action does not determine the morality of the action. Breaking a law that you deem to be immoral is not an objectively immoral act. Laws are based on morality, however, civilizations change thier moral stance on positions ALL THE TIME. The argument is not whether it is illegal or not. The argument is whether the illegality is moral or not moral. Laws change because our morals change.
Somthn I understand that at some point it was illegal to be black in America without having a slave owner, it was also illegal to be a Jew in Germany. Some laws are made just to justify the cruel acts of one nation.
I bet you are someone who thinks the War on Drugs is working. 20 BILLION pa. seriously, it's a broken system pal.
It's like when you travel to another country, what makes some lawmaker sat in an office say you need a visa to stay over 90 days?? Or you can't enter my country at all.
I under stand illegal entry, but trace it back and it's not a good look.
@@RI-yw8hm Not even remotely close to the same situation. These people aren't being punished because they are Mexican or because they are Catholic or because they have brown skin. They are being punished because they are living in a country that they are not citizens of. They are being punished by being removed from said country and taken back to the country where they came from. It's a risk they took willingly. The same thing would happen if they were white Amish from Peru or electric pink Hindus from New Zealand. It's not "cruel" for a country to protect it's borders. Every country in the world has laws against it.
thanks fro sharing this real stories ,Stay connected.
Why didn't that couple get their paperwork in order during the 30 years they've been in the US?
I just don't understand any of this! Why put your kids through this??
Greetings,

@@beverlyledbetter9302 why have kids in a foreign land knowing you can be deported. Enough is enough. These ppl are adults.
In general, people that become illegals due to financial hardship often don’t think things through. They tend to make rash decisions and just hope things will work out for them in the future. Then there are those that live with extreme violence, either due to war or criminal activities, they see no hope for a better future, these people have nothing to lose anyway.
The amount of people commenting horrible things on this video is overwhelming. We're all human beings. Stop the hate!
One of the issues people have with Latin American illegals is their refusal to learn the English language. If English wasn’t so important to U.S. society, then why are English courses mandatory in schools? You have to test your English school-taught skills to graduate. We aren’t being forced to learn Spanish in the U.S. True, the U.S. is made up of different cultures but when you come to a country that has a dominant language then you have to be willing to learn it. If U.S. citizens moved to Latin countries, they would expect us to speak Spanish no matter what. If we moved to China, they would expect us to speak Chinese. For illegal Latin American citizens to come to the U.S., and refuse to learn the dominant language of English, then that is where a lot of U.S. citizens feel insulted. Some jobs are now requiring Spanish as a skill in order to be employed. It’s a mess in my opinion.
Learning the language and culture are the way in to become Americans .
true Latino should not come to the U.S and tell them what language they should speak, this is America not mexico or any other south American country if you come in America people speak English there and to work,live or do anything you need to learn English..... they need to stop coming to America and having to tell Americans that to get a job they have to speak Spanish. Like what the heck it not your country it Americans country u don't have to right to tell native American that to work in their own country they need to learn Spanish it stupid, it you can't follow the rules that the U.S have then it simple the door is open and just go back to your native country because you don't want to live like all Americans it not your country to change the rules.
and this comment might sound mean but it true like an American can not leave America and go to Mexico and tell all mexicans that in order to work or get a job they need to speak English.... like it makes not sense an American who left his or her country don't have the right to change the rules that Mexico have
that what I'm trying to say if you go to a foreign country follow it rules because they might kick you out. like the people in this video but then when they get kicked out they blame America and Americans 🙄🙄🙄 see how you guys are bean Unfair you know that you need paper to live in America so if you don't have one they will kick you out.
Thing is - a Filipino would never dream of coming to another country without knowing the language. We have a lot of Filipinos in America
and you never hear about them because they do such a good job of blending in with everyone else. Just the Spanish think it’s racist to have to use any effort and follow the rules.
I have never met an illegal who has issues with learning to speak English. I have met many who choose to speak Spanish when able, but that doesn't represent a refusal to learn English. It's natural to want to speak your native tongue, your first language.
@@alishagunter7968 I have met plenty. I also meet plenty who drive without a license and without knowing what “stop” signs say. When I’m in restaurants, I see a ton of them come in to pick up food via Uber eats (which they get on fraudulently) and hold their phones in the to-go waiter’s face because they cannot pronounce the name of the person on the order.

I have to have a visa to go to your country. Why should you be better then me. We just want for you to have permission like we have to have permission to go to your country. Wats Up!
You have to have a work visa if you want to come to the USA and work. Likewise, as Americans, we need a passport to go anywhere in the world, but that doesn't give us permission to work in any country we want. Everything evolves around doing things legally. Not even Americans can go anywhere and do as they please.
We welcome ANYONE to America, it just needs to be done legally. It's not that hard to comprehend.
What's up!! You sound so tough 😏
Well as you are so welcoming, (better get use to illegals) not you got Mr Soft & Mr Kiddy Sniffer in........get ready for the human train or what ever they call it, on its way from Venezuela 🇻🇪...... have fun.

First generation born Filipino American here. My parents came to the US in the late 60’s fully legal and became citizens not long after. While I do feel bad for people getting separated from their families and deported back, rules are rules. Break them and suffer the consequences 🤷♂️
Thank you

We're not living in the 20's,30's or 40's.The U.S. population back then was a lot less compared to our population now.
We all want to continue to take in families who want/need assistance and I know I'd prefer to turn no one away.The only way that is possible is for us all to adhere to our rules/laws.Laws are in place for good reasons. People with criminal pasts should follow our laws and given an opportunity to take care of their families. We all make mistakes and we all have the potential of changing for the better with those we love as our greatest motivation

Strange that with such impressive military force, USA can't adequately secure this border on land or sea...but finds the motivation to send its military to other countries (not much success there either)
If our government really did protect our borders with military, and people knew that they would be apprehended or worse, then there wouldn’t be this problem ! The problem is that our borders are NOT defended.
It's more important for the US to occupy and stir up trouble in other countries to keep the military industrial complex raking in the money than to serve and protect their citizens. It's all part of the plan baby!

So you can’t just tell ppl to go thru legal channels like its as easy as signing up for an online account. You need to invest so much money, time and even more money.

Both sides have valid concerns when it comes to immigration, be illegal or legal. Personally i think that when people attack each other over who is right or wrong are attacking the wrong people. The problem are the governments of those countries not taking any responsibility for the state the countries are in and not trying to improve it for their citizens.

We have 6 million in New York apparently- but that seems like an underestimation. Doctors ask new patients their ethnicity, then if it's a non-hispanic version of that race. If you say 'white' they'll ask if you are hispanic white. Those illegals really get around- lie about everything including their own race!
Come here legally! It’s affecting those who are seeking assylum and are doing it the right way! It wouldn’t be so hard for everyone to get here and get their citizenship if it was done legally! Why can’t people understand that!

When the settlers found out their was gold in the black hills, the Sioux killed a whole USA regime and set their bodies up at their borders, even the threat of death didn't stop the starving illegal immigrants from Crossing into their jurisdiction.
lmao!! o now you are worried about their lives 😂😂😂 ok buddy
Really heart touching story
Almost 30 years in the US and yet you didn't do anything to make your status legal? You all have the opportunity, jeez.Now you are all crying?
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
Tell that to the cartels lol

Is ABOVE THE LAW!
Trump' is😂😂
The Clintons are!
European think they are, natives banned them from coming here
Now more than ever every country needs border walls
Interviewed: “What don’t you understand of being illegal?”
Native Americans: “I know right!”
It’s only illegal when they don’t like it.
I don't know what's more criminal; crossing over a borderline of a country looking for the economic opportunity that allows you to work and earn or... going to another land across an ocean, taking over land killing &pushing its native people into concentrated areas, creating a trail of tears, deceiving other people of their true intentions and really trying to collect all these peoples gold to take it to their royal families killing"civilizing" them as they settle &conquer, or also bringing along a group of people who they used to perform hard labor of fields with no pay other than food,roof,lynching,shooting,cutting,burning!!!
The united nations calls European in the Americas illegal occupants
Do you know what century we're in...
Bless the people that volunteer to help with water to those poor people. 🙏🏻✨🙏🏻
God Bless you Marilyn Stober. You’re a special kind of human to take in that broken family. You’re a true inspiration wether you know it or not.
Do not cross if yo don’t want to be separated with your families. All countries have borders and legal migration is the only way to get a new citizenship. All countries have problems and if those people are leaving there countries to cross the border, it is not the problem of the US to deal with their government. If you are avoiding persecution in your own country and you want to cross, then apply for asylum and always remember there is a system. You cannot rush someone’s system and rules. I know it sad when families are being separated but also understand that before those families decided to cross the border they already chose their destiny to be separated. Simple logic.
The USA welcomes ANYONE from ANYWHERE to come to our country and live the American dream, with our blessings. We only ask that you do it legally.
At the same time, we do have the right to protect our borders, just like many other countries, from people that want to come here and do harm or commit illegal activities.
I don't think we're asking too much.
European are illegal occupants in the Americas, they have no right to demand anything when united nations says they're illegal themselves
@@tinadraper9143 call it however you want, those European descendants of the 13 colonies created a growing state and identity of their own and made it to a world power by themselves. What was the Spanish mix descent Mestizo doing? If they all do their own part maybe Mexico and South America could be a prosperous world power, but instead its constant bad leadership or lack economic development. So don't use the European colonization as excuse when you yourself are not even consider pure race and lands do not belong to any race just because you were first, the strong dominate the weak. Sorry life ain't fair but that is reality, they are the ones that establish the laws and system hence it makes it legal according the UN law.
Humane borders thank you so much ❤️ god bless you all 🙏🏻 🥰
Humane borders? There’s nothing humane about a border that is kind to some and deadly to others - one child trafficked into slavery already costs you that title. One person fallen in that desert already invalidates anything humane towards anyone attempting to cross illegally into the USA.
I wish I could help these ppl
Ashley nice day .how are u dead
Im here for my follow Mexicans love yall stay,n keep trying😇😷😎
From fighting the wall of Berlin to building your own.
Communists built the wall in Berlin to keep their people from leaving. The border wall isn’t being built by the opposite. Country to keep people from leaving. Not at all! They don’t discourage their citizens at all from leaving their countries to come to the US illegally!
U r crazy to equate the two. Read a book
Here's an idea? Each border has "United States Citizenship Application" forms and you easily just walk up to the border and fill one out. Give the Border Patrol/Homeland Security up to a week to vet the information you provide. By checking for any criminal past, run fingerprints, etc. If you're clean in all those aspects than I don't see an issue with allowing entry as a U.S Citizen, temporary citizenship, and or a month visitation into the country? Next step would be to send each person who applies to a school that teaches United States values, English (If they don't already speak it), how to get legal jobs, housing, education, etc. Set each applicant up for success. Maybe even setup an entire town for new applicants coming into the country (if they don't already have family on the USA side) for temporary residence until they get on their feet.
It's simple to fix. Create high penalties for employers, immediate deportation first time caught, prison for second time. Children born to illegal parents are denied citizenship here and must leave when the parents leave.
@Belltown Daisy Sounds like a great idea. What exactly do you have against it? It's always open arms until it's your home they have to stay in.
Why is a country protecting its sovereignty in anyway controversial?
Why isn't the man speaking English if he's been here for thirty years?

Beautiful people ❤ I'm from Tejas and though I'm considered white, many of my close relatives are from Mexico and came for better lives (just like my other European/Eastern European and Irish-Scottish Swedish) ancestors that came to flee from some form of starvation or poverty. We ALL NEED TO REMEMBER THAT OUR ANCESTORS ALL CAME TO THE FREE WORLD WITH GOOD REASON AND with GREAT LOSS, TRAGEDY. BUT THEY ALWAYS EMERGED FLOURISHING THEIR LEGACY OF THE GREAT GRANDCHILDREN WHO ARE NOW BECOMING ADULTS AND FINALLY PARENTS! God Bless you and keep you free. Tiffanie Q. With LOVE and hugs from Colorado USA 🇺🇸❤
If they don't stay in their own country and stand against their government and fight for their country they won't have a country. America is not the answer to the world's problems. This is weakening our economy. The companies are paying
Most of the people that came here died making it what it is today. It was not free for a very long time. I think Mexicans have a different meaning of the word "free" than Americans do. As in this country is not a place where you come for free and get everything for free.
Agreed. I understand some bad people may come, as they always have. Still I believe everyone has a right to food, safety, and a way to make a living. What is live if you never help someone in need.

LESSON: GET THINGS DONE LEGALLY AND YOU WON’T HAVE ANY NIGHTMARES TO WORRY ABOUT.
The horrible a selfish decision was not the law making it illegal live in USA without papers"not Trump's law", the selfish thing was to know you will be separated from a family you make in USA, but making a family anyway.
There's nothing wRoNG with coming legally, and applying for citizenship.
Why ppl can’t understand this? I’m not even American and I agree .... people have to obey rules.
Thank you for not typing mean words.
I'm grateful for not being called a racist, because I am not. Sometimes, people get very angry over immigration, and lose their cool. It's not like the United States hates Latinos; it's quite the opposite. It's about doing the right thing by following the laws of the land. I don't feel sorry for the deported, despite the sob stories and sad music; they could have done the application process. If they didn't know beforehand, well now everyone knows. Life is about learning, and growing up.

I'm a Democrat, but when it comes to the issue of Immigration, I kinda agree with the reasonable Republicans.
Nobody leaves their house open for strangers to troop in and out at will. That's why we have Windows, Doors, Fences, Security Dog, Modern security technology to protect us and our property from intruders. Plus nobody likes people showing up to their house uninvited.
So yeah we need border control, and people should come in through the legal channels.
As for the ones who are already here illegal, but are working, paying tax, contributing positively to their community and have no criminal record, no need deporting them, because the American founding fathers arrived here as illegal immigrants .
Gaston is a victim of himself, he had more than enough time to become legal, but he chose not to, its his own fault

The story bout the agent and his dogs playing with, and destroying everything in the backpack....Yuck. What if that person is deceased or dies, an that's ALL their family has left of their loved one?? Disgusting💯💯
Don’t illegally cross borders
I agree trump is disgusting doing what he did for 4 yrs. Straight up disgusting. But in 30 yrs they didn't get their paperwork started that is also their fault knowing that they could be deported at any time. My father in law came when he was 9 yrs old and worked in the fields and then worked for his own construction company and did savings for years till I had his first grand baby a little girl he got his citizen ship in 1990. So proud of him. I don't agree with all that trump did 4 the 4 yrs he was our DICTATOR like president
I'm glad biden is fixing the mess trump started. Biden has made a few executive orders reversing trump's orders. I hope more people have the chance of being here but that they get their things in order and get their citizenship within 10 yrs or they have to go back. We can't survive on our ssi plan with all the illegal people getting put on our nation's welfare and food stamps and other hand outs that america doesn't have for us now. You know what I mean. It just makes no sense to let them be here more than 10 years if their not going to better themselves if they can't get citizenship
if you had listening the guy said he found a backpack empty
It’s his backyard tho and the back pack was empty.
I just didn’t like this guy.
I don't know why people or migrants and entire foreign governments criticize the US policy on the southern border. "HELLO" every country has the right to protect its borders, culture, language, heritage, laws, etc. Many countries send to the US those in need instead of taking responsibility with their own nationals. Why criticize what Washington decides to do ??? Mexico is the loudest country in this issue. "What Mexico is doing to prevent thier citizens from leaving Mexico" ??? As well as other countries "what are those governments doing to prevent massive migrations" ???. Perhaps they want America to support thier corrupt institutions ??? Why criticize America for laws passed to protect America's borders ??? The US has all the right to do what they feel like when it comes down to choose who comes here or not !!! "HELLO"
Why not complaining in their own countries against those corrupt politicians or governments for their levels of corruption that force them to find other sources of survival ???.
The solution is not wether crossing the border or not. The real solution is to make Justice in your own turf. Stop crying for the resolutions taking in Washington. The root of the problem is YOUR OWN GOVERNMENTS ???

Taxes on but you wouldn't know what it's like to actually pay taxes on something because too many illegal immigrants thinks if they get to the United States
Everything will be Free and the American taxpayers can take care all of us including the multiple children they keep having but they can't help themselves but they continue to get pregnant and when arriving here and being detained they need to be put on birth control until they can afford to have babies they can pay out of their own paychecks instead of the United States WIC program being exhausted by illegal immigrants babies and that equals more and more taxes added to our paychecks before we get our checks
Enough is Enough and President Biden better not flood this country with more illegal immigrants because American people R already suffering because of Covid19 and if he mess over us he will not be a 2nd term president.

“We complain about absent father and yet here we are separating the ones who chose to stay”
@Dawson donnelly or maybe they should fix the law it’s not even the law that needs to be fixed it’s the system! They are letting people in just for them to look good in the media they call it immigration “challenge “ rather than crisis. Why don’t they fix the documents of all the immigrants that are here payed taxes, been a good citizen and have children that relies on them before they welcome new immigrants that can be a potential threat!.
@Dawson donnelly if they can track people and separate families that has been together for all their life then I’m sure it is that simple 🤷🏻♀️ And if they can welcome new immigrants and provide them free healthcare and give them asylum and support them even if America cannot afford it I’m sure they can find ways to make 10% of immigrants that has been staying here in the US with good conduct be legal. And if you watched enough documentary a lot of them tried to be legal they paid lawyers to be legal they paid taxes even if they are not legal then the government lured them to seek asylum with a promise of helping them be legal but what they did was to deport them or put them on a facility like prisoner
While it is tragic that these people have to go through all of this. You can't break a country's laws and expect to be forgiven just because you want a better life. But the US does need to improve their immigration policy and make it easier for people to get work authorization (not just for PHD and MD Holders)
No we don't. We need LESS cheap labor, not more. Until we reach something approaching full employment, we need ZERO migrant workers. We need fewer HB1 Visas. Period.
@@rickrudd Exactly..

Then don't do it. They get what they deserve for breaking the law.
Keep the criminals in jail! When you enter this country illegally you should be arrested sentenced and deported 😢

Vigilantly Bob looks a right twonk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There needs to be an understanding of the time we live in. Decades ago weapons, drugs, human trafficking were not at the levels they are now. So then borders (walls) need to be updated and improved. The US is not stopping immigration. There's a process. All we ask is immigrants who want to establish their lives and families here do it the way it was set. Those that oppose this should read what the Mexican gov't's immigration laws are. Way stricter.
no one wants to cross the border and live the rest of your life in fear. they only do it because there’s no other choice. the process to come here legally take a long long time on average 20-24 years. if they are gonna update then they should also update their process on coming here legally and help these people instead of punishing them for wanting a better life.
I wonder the total of how many of them die crossing over?? wouldn't happen if they did it legally though
true they caused it themselves and now want to blame the U.S it stupid
The last cop was very knowledgeable and compassionate, if only majority of cops were like him America would be so much better...
Stupid, they are.
There should be border parks where separated families can properly meet, of course under border patrol vigilance. Some place where they can feel no longer physically separated by customs.
I've heard the stories over and over but what did he do to get in the eyes of the law. Come here legally and you can live in peace come here illegally and you have this huge elephant on your back. All nations have laws to protect their borders.

If you enter a country you follow the law not the other way around.
Being kind and generous is not always a good thing, if the US keeps letting illegal immigrants in, the US Economy will collapse, because not everyone you let in would be contributing. Plus it would be unfair for those who enter LEGALLY or the citizen of that country to have their taxes payed for your incompetence.
