Riding Mexico's Deadly Migrant Train: The Beast

  • 🇲🇽 PART THREE: Ask any migrant heading north to the USA which part of the journey they fear most and they will all answer with two words: La Bestia. In English it is translated to The Beast and it deserves the name. Terrible things happen to people on The Beast, from kidnap by the cartel, robbery by immigration officers or just losing a limb below its rolling wheels. And yet myself and @TimmyKarter knew that if we wanted to really experience the Caminante lifestyle then we too would have to face the dangers and confront the very thing migrants fear most...Join us!
    @TimmyKarter UA-cam channel is a place to find our journey from his own perspective. I highly recommend you check it out. Thanks again to him for inviting me on this journey and translating whenever I didn't understand something. Would have been ten times harder without him.

    A request: as you know I have never asked anyone to like, subscribe or watch my videos but I have a favour to ask. Unfortunately our good friend and heroic caminante @timmykarter fell very sick after I left Mexico and was hospitalised for an operation. His medical bills were not covered by his insurance and they were astronomical. He is now under sedation. If you want to help out I ask you to go to his channel after this and watch a video or two of his. Leave a supportive message for him to read when he wakes up and drop some likes. It will take you a few minutes only. He’s a great lad as you know from watching the vids he’s appeared in and is going through a really tough time, sick in a foreign country just before Christmas. Sharing some good vibes will help him a little bit. #prayfortimmy

      There are many legal avenues to come to America. There are many needy people from countries who can't run themselves. It is unfair to the American people and to those who have sought a legal route of immigration. If they're sneaking in there is a good chance they have already been deported for crimes. Trump was not wrong when he called them out. Many of them are mules or gang members. The American people are not responsible fro their plight but must absorb the brunt of it. Texas ranchers are killed/ gangs flourish in sanctuary cities and spies from every American adversary flow in by the thousands on a weekly basis. There are up to 10000 illegals that come into America on a daily basis, many of whom displace America's own downtrodden in sanctuary cities homeless shelters. Veterans are dying of hypothermia on the streets of New York.

      I love Bald’s videos, but this one was interesting to see what it’s really like, but I feel like he’s encouraging them. If they are really in fear for their lives they are supposed to seek asylum in the 1st country they come to. These people are economic migrants and that’s not a reason to grant asylum, unless Biden illegally changes our immigration laws. I’m sure he knows of our border invasion and how our tax dollars are paying for them while US citizens are getting kicked out of schools to let illegals stay there and we’re paying $5k a mo per migrant at the Roosevelt in NYC, free Uber, free babysitting and maid service…while many Americans and our dear veterans are homeless.

      True. But it's wrong way to help the migrants.
      IMO they should instead pool their resources to build training centers, so these migrants could get formal training and work legally in the US.
      Illegal/undocumented migrants are very vulnerable, there are countless stories about them not getting paid because they can't sue their employer or report it to the police. Not to mention abuses they get from cartels and corrupt bureaucrats.
      These are bunch of lambs on their way to the slaughterhouse.. It's better to drag them down from the train, then and there, than to throw some supplies.

      Yea, but IMO it's still not the best way to help the migrants.
      IMO they should instead pool their resources to build training centers, so these migrants could get formal training and work legally in the US.
      Illegal/undocumented migrants are very vulnerable, there are countless stories about them not getting paid because they can't sue their employer or report it to the police. Not to mention abuses they get from cartels and corrupt bureaucrats.
      These are bunch of lambs on their way to the slaughterhouse.. It's better to drag them down from the train, then and there, than to throw some supplies.

There are plenty of Mexican Americans still bringing families over here every day, we cant have every human on the planet to come to usa if there country sucks, go to Uk, Just imagine if there was a train of immigrants coming to the uk to take jobs and swarm the Social Services, Uk gov't would have a fit and make some weird reason up they cant be there.
