Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 січ 2022
- They’re nicknamed ‘The Dreamers’. Teenagers from Honduras and El Salvador, ready to face all types of dangers to escape the horrific violence of gangs in Central America. They know that the journey could cost them their lives but they will risk anything to make it to America.
Every month, more than 5,000 unaccompanied children are arrested in the United States after crossing the Mexican border. Joao and Anthony, both 15 and from Honduras, have decided to jump a freight train from Mexico. But on the American side of the border, heavily armed private militia hunt migrants in the desert. They also run the real risk of getting lost in the desert and dying of thirst - a fate that befalls thousands every year. And young girls attempting the crossing are prey to the cartels, who force them into prostitution.
More than 130,000 children were arrested in the past years for attempting the crossing. How many others disappeared on the road to the American Dream?
This documentary was first released in 2016.

Build that wall
At 17 I was hitch hiking around the western states. This reminds me how lucky I was. These guys got balls!
Not enough to fix there own countries though. Cowards is what they actually are at best. Scavengers at its worst
@@2loaves388you have never been to these countries. Poor little thing. I am sure you still live with your mom
It should not matter what age, if they are illegal then don't let them in or don't let them stay. That's why they come as teens or parents drop their infants off the border walls because they know these minors get to stay. 👎
Such a mess situation, how on earth these people are seeking for legalization of this kind of stuff?
They are breaking the this country sovereign law, if they are believing that corrupt politicians will help them?
That sounds like a real dream.
How in the world do they think that USA can take care of them all. America have lots of their own American Citizens children that must be taken care of. The same way that they fight to come to USA. They must fight to straighten out their own country. Then you can make your dream's come true in your own Country........🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Why not do it in your country
These documentaries break my heart. How sad to see that so much poverty and violence make these young people migrate and take all this risk, with such a high chance of suffering something bad on the way and such a low chance of arriving on American soil... Congratulations for the excellent work of showing this reality more current than ever. Sending love from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️
How are these children going to fight the cartels?! Most of y'all's children won't even get up and go to school on their own! Hateful & disrespectful people! God Bless ALL the Children, Ameen🌺
And what kind of work does a US 15 year old do to legally work to earn pocket change. I don't hear any mention of US work ethic for minors. Publicize that.
Very sad. Better they are arrested and sent back home..
That ancle bracelet must be so uncomfortable
These kids put their life on the line for just a chance at getting a job here in America. Our American teens just wanna do tik tok.😂🕺🎼
For God so loved the world he gave his one and only Son Jesus Christ whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16.
Why they don fight honduras carteles they have to fighta to make home sale
Many come bringing drugs to the very people they begging asylum from
Something was said in this documentary that is wrong, children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States are indeed US citizens by law! The narrator explained otherwise and he is sadly mistaken, in fact children of undocumented Mexican immigrants born in the US have dual citizenship! Cheers!

They should struggle to improve their country rather risking their life trying to get into another countriy.
That’s how sly these people are ,!!
They prey on their own people!!
Sad as fk
Why don’t these corrupt government give these people & teenagers jobs so they don’t have to take this dangerous journey
They found the courage to rally in a foreign land for what they call theirs and their offspring rights to stay legally out from illegal migration and yet never had a single courage to fight for a better life from their home country.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Shame on this people!!! Go back to your own countries.If you wanna come,stand on the line,like everybody else!!
No country would want to have non legal immigrants and bear unnecessary burden.
@@senoracristiana3650 exactly the point
So Stop Destroying their countries than maybe you won't have to complain
They are not Mexican they are Salvadoran or Guatemala
Young children are victims of the stupidity of their own families and grown children are victims of their own stupidity.
Very young r determined to sneak into land of dreams with high risk. In the prohibited home, risk again confront them.
With hind sight, this Documentary makes One’s stomach drop. My heart breaks for all these families that just want a better life, no matter what.
Why can't they seek to make their "better life" in their own countries? Singapore, Japan and UAE have done it in the last few decades.
I know they’re seeking out for a good life but making their way in illegally is not justified. No one minds legal immigrants, maybe work hard get that stamp.
@@pietrojenkins6901 this is one of the dumbest comment I’ve read in a while…
the usa gov`t is the largest human traffic.king organization in the world. thats why it now looks and feels like a third world country
28:07 lots of misinformation there . Any person born on US soil is an American citizen wether they’re parents are ilegal or not 🙄. Come on that’s very basic info .
Then why did Congress pass the American Indian Citizenship 🤔 Act for in 1924? You are very mislead and totally ignorant on the 14th. A parent is either a citizen or a greencard holder for the baby to be a US citizen. Produce a legal document stating an undocumented immigrants kid is a US citizen. Because you cannot. Dont reply back , because I'm not going to read a clueless idiots comment 🙄
@@deannasalem9195 The Most Ignorance of Ignorance I have ever Seen 1924 WAS MEANT for Native Americans because they were not given U.S rights and oppressed, THE 14 Amendment GRANTS Birth Right Citizenship TO ANY CHILD born on U.S soil specifically was designed for Slaves that we're not seen as human beings however due to the design of the 14 amendments it grants it to all that Is why We have Anchor Babies CHILDREN born of Parents with or without documentation
@@Cris-if8kf thank you! I was about to tell her the same thing
God, keep them out please
U want to feel sorry for them but there is a but
Damn, this is very sad.
Great. Another street gang. Come on in.
Great video
They have better odds hitting El Paso because how close the city is to the border
The wall isn’t always fully manned, don’t be fooled
As long as there are people helping these migrants they will keep coming... They need to deport all of them ...we have to pay their way by paying higher taxes..
If india can prevent such entry from n
Its the same across the world every illegal has a heartbreaking story
Nickname them the dreamers… got to love Americans who are mostly full of dreamers themselves
We need immigrants in mexico. Mexico population has been decreasing rapidly
🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I pray they have a place they've wanted to live🙏😭❤️
💔😞
omg 🥺💔 poor kids it's not worthy to risk yourself , the best solution is to collect money and go legally not illegally?
It’s not that simple 🤡🤡Did you not see the part where the kids say there isn’t any work where he’s from
@@Swipeu-fi2ql
😂 but how can they find money to give the bad smuggler or how they dosen't go to the city of Mexico to find a job and collect money and take passport and go legally to America 😂 that simple
Swipeu2100
look jack I'm from Arabia world and I'm not to much rich I'm normal person of course America is beautiful country but I dosen't risk myself to go to her 😅 in the name of God 4 what 🤷♂️ it's not worthy if I will want to go to her I will go legally not illegally why I hurt myself from the beginning 😹
@@justhimo2728 Making money takes time and they don't have time to wait for the u.s. to approve them. Some guy waited more than 10 years to become a citizen so no, it's not that simple
@@Swipeu-fi2ql That's the problem of Their govt. Not ours.
So sad !!!!
The sob stories are so generic lmao. "I got death threats etc etc".
I really feel sad for the two boys. Lastly the lady who is refused by court in us.🏠😂🔥🙏
God bless these people 🙏only God can judge!!
Parents allow there teenagers kids to travel this dangerous journey it’s the parents fault
Not necessarily, this is the only option for the family and kids to reach US to file for asylum and try get their parents over for a better life away from poverty and major violence.
@@billnguy we have plenty of poverty and violence here too. I've been seeing commercials about save the children here in America.
@@edwinabarton8077 are you in the US? Yeah there are bad parts but nothing like other countries.
They don't look like rapist!
We had a lot of pedholiles on the United States from many countries, a lot of them from sudamerican I'm talking salvado rías, houndurians, Mexican But also europeans too. I do know the victims because of this is my statements.
